Each evening, my dad and I gathered around the large dining table to build the model. We faced thousands of tiny white pieces, each packaged with precision in numbered plastic bags, accompanied by a thick instruction book. The evenings passed quickly, and the building rose before our eyes. We could see our efforts producing good results, and as we turned to the boring task of ordering the colored bricks on the building’s floor, our conversation too took a turn. We were amazed by how complex the model was and its instruction book. We realized the book itself was a work of art, beautiful, but also surprisingly detailed and clear. It provided us with the comfort of certainty. We knew if we followed all the instructions, we would end up with a model that looked exactly like the picture on the box. If we made a mistake, all we had to do was to repeat our steps and start again. Life, however, does not fit together so neatly and rarely provides us with such clear instructions. We talked over our respective lives, decisions made, and actions and choices never taken. Dad reflected on a life well lived, and I, in my mid-thirties, on the uncertain path that lay ahead Here, we were the expert architects doing the assembling, but out in the world, we were the ones being assembled. We think we’re in control, but our choices are shaped by forces beyond our control. In the face of uncertainty, we have to proceed, trusting both in the process and the end result. Sometimes, on the days I return home, I go to the spare room to look at the completed Lego model, which brings forth a sense of happiness and comfort. It reminds me that life is built slowly, with mistakes, an element of uncertainty and no instruction book. It shows that consideration, warmth and faith will result in a life well lived. Life itself is not about what we materially create or leave behind, but rather how we lived it. 4. Which can best describe the author’s experience of building the Lego model? A. Simple and uninteresting. B. Imaginative and enjoyable. C. Complicated and rewarding. D. Challenging and discouraging. 5. What does the author learn from assembling the Lego model? A. Life requires to be planned carefully. B. Life doesn’t come with clear guidance. C. Mistakes in life can always be corrected. D. Life’s uncertainty makes it more exciting. 6. How does the author suggest we deal with uncertainty in life? A. By avoiding making any choice. B. By focusing on instant end results. C. By seeking instructions from others. D. By moving forward with confidence. 7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Lego: A Symbol of Family Bond B. Building with Lego: Lessons for Life C. The Complexity of Architectural Models D. Life: A Journey Without Instructions 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章通过作者与父亲组装乐高泰姬陵的经历，阐述了对人生哲理的深刻感悟。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“We faced thousands of tiny white pieces, each packaged with precision in numbered plastic bags, accompanied by a thick instruction book. The evenings passed quickly, and the building rose before our eyes. We could see our efforts producing good results (我们面对着成千上万块白色小零件，每一块都精准地装在编号塑料袋里，还有一本厚厚的说明书。夜晚过得很快，建筑在我们眼前拔地而起。我们能看到自己的努力产生了好的结果)”可知，搭建过程复杂但成果显著，充满成就感。故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Life, however, does not fit together so neatly and rarely provides us with such clear instructions (然而，人生并非如此规整，也很少为我们提供如此清晰的指导)”可知，作者意识到人生没有像乐高说明书那样清晰的指导。故选B项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“In the face of uncertainty, we have to proceed, trusting both in the process and the end result. (面对不确定性，我们必须继续前行，既要相信过程，也要相信最终结果)”可知，作者认为面对不确定性，我们应带着信心前行，相信过程和结果。故选D项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。全文通过作者与父亲组装乐高泰姬陵的经历，引申出对人生的深刻感悟：生活没有说明书，充满不确定性，但需要用心、温暖和信念去慢慢构建。由此可知，B项“Building with Lego: Lessons for Life (用乐高搭建：人生一课)”最能概括文章由具体经历到人生哲理升华的主旨。故选B项。 C People experience emotional pain — often in the form of guilt (内疚) — when spending money. This is called the moral tax (道德税) or pain of payment. We can reduce this guilt by separating the enjoyment of a purchase (购买) from its payment. However, the best way to reduce moral tax is by receiving a gift—an item you don’t have to pay for at all! As a result, the best gifts are items that normally bring particularly high levels of moral tax. This may include goods that appear overpriced and therefore bring particularly bad feelings of guilt upon purchase. Curiously, it’s not about the actual amount of money spent. What matters most are the emotions brought by the gift (or the guilt taken away). Consider the following example as an explanation. For weeks, Anne has had her eye on a pair of designer shoes. They look incredibly stylish and go perfectly with her new winter coat. She’s got enough money to pay for the shoes but doesn’t think the purchase is necessary. After all, she already owns three other pairs of winter footwear. Still, Anne makes sure to mention the shoes to her husband Alex, and on Christmas morning she is overjoyed to open a large box containing the shoes. She is happy with the gift even though Alex bought it from their family bank account. Looking at it from an economic point of view, Anne’s happiness doesn’t make any sense. Since she shares a bank account with her husband, it doesn’t matter who buys the shoes. The loss of money is the same either way. How can Anne be happy with Alex making a purchase she previously thought unnecessary? It all comes down to moral tax. By making the payment on Anne’s behalf, Alex cuts her wife’s pain of payment. Anne gets to enjoy her precious shoes guilt-free. The experts suggest that the best gifts are things that people really want but refuse themselves to avoid feeling guilty. What are your partner’s secret wants and guilty pleasures? Unfortunately, that’s the one question you need to answer yourself. 8. What does the moral tax refer to in the text? A. The guilt of receiving an expensive gift. B. The problems caused by overspending. C. The feeling of satisfaction after making a purchase. D. The emotional pain coming from spending money. 9. Why does Anne refuse to buy the shoes herself? A. She has got a similar pair. B. She is influenced by the moral tax. C. She decides to put off satisfaction. D. She only wants to use her husband’s money. 10. What may an economist think of Anne’s excitement? A. Unreasonable. B. Unreal. C. Interesting. D. Expected. 11. What do the experts suggest about the best gifts? A. They should be practical and useful. B. They should be expensive to show appreciation. C. They should be items that people really want but avoid buying due to guilt. D. They should be items that don’t cost people too much but are meaningful. 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了人们在花钱时会感受到的情感痛苦，即所谓的“道德税”，以及如何通过接受礼物来减少这种痛苦。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“People experience emotional pain — often in the form of guilt (内疚) — when spending money. This is called the moral tax (道德税) or pain of payment.(人们在花钱的时候会经历情感上的痛苦——通常表现为内疚。这就是所谓的道德税或支付之痛)”可知，道德税指的就是因为花钱造成的情感方面的痛苦感受。故选D项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“How can Anne be happy with Alex making a purchase she previously thought unnecessary? It all comes down to moral tax. By making the payment on Anne’s behalf, Alex cuts her wife’s pain of payment.(亚历克斯买了一件她以前认为不必要的东西，安妮怎么能开心呢?这一切都归结为道德税。通过替安妮付款，亚历克斯减轻了她妻子的付款痛苦)”可推测，安妮自己不买那双鞋是受道德税的影响。故选B项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Looking at it from an economic point of view, Anne’s happiness doesn’t make any sense. (从经济学的角度来看，安妮的开心没有任何意义)”可推测，一个经济学家会认为安妮的开心是没有道理的，夫妻俩谁买都是花了家里的钱，unreasonable和doesn’t make any sense.意思相近。故选A项。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“The experts suggest that the best gifts are things that people really want but refuse themselves to avoid feeling guilty.(专家建议，最好的礼物是人们真正想要的，但为了避免内疚而拒绝自己的东西)”可知，专家建议最好的礼物应该是对方特别想要但自己为避免花钱带来的内疚感而没买的东西。故选C项。 D Scientists have known that sperm whales communicate through patterns of clicks known as codas. These sounds are not random. Instead, they form complex sequences that whales use when interacting with members of their family groups. Yet the real meaning of these signals has long remained a mystery. Hidden within the ocean’s depths is a communication system far more complicated than researchers once imagined. Many experts believe that such a system may even include something similar to a basic language, but no one has been able to fully figure it out so far. To solve this perennial puzzle, scientists have turned to AI for help. By feeding thousands of whale recordings into advanced computer models, scientists have begun to detect patterns that human ears alone could never recognize. Similar to the way large language models learn patterns in human speech, AI systems can analyze enormous collections of whale codas and identify repeating structures within them. In early experiments, these systems were able to predict the type of coda and even identify which whale produced it with remarkable accuracy. Inspired by these results, researchers launched Project CETI (Cetacean Translation Initiative), an international collaboration bringing together marine biologists, linguists, engineers and computer scientists to interpret the communication system of sperm whales. By combining underwater recording devices with powerful AI models, the team hopes to map the hidden structure of whale sounds and eventually understand how whales exchange information. If successful, the project could transform how humans understand animal intelligence. Not only might it reveal that whales possess a complicated communication system, but it could also show that language-like structures exist far beyond the human world. In this sense, AI may become more than a technological tool. Properly used, it could help humans listen, perhaps for the first time, to the voices of another species. 12. What can we learn about sperm whales’ codas from paragraph 1? A. They can only be heard in the deep ocean. B. They are simple signals for daily communication. C. They carry meanings that are waiting to be explained. D. They differ greatly from other sea animals’ sound patterns. 13. What does the underlined word “perennial” mean? A. long-standing B. wide-ranging C. far-reaching D. deep-rooted 14. What does paragraph 2 mainly focus on? A. The importance of large language models. B. The role AI plays in studying whale codas. C. The process of collecting whale recordings. D. The achievements in whale protection research. 15. What does the author say about Project CETI? A. It has solved the mystery of animal intelligence. B. It aims to make whale research a separate discipline. C. It may improve human understanding of animal language. D. It helps develop advanced underwater recording devices. 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】文章讲述了研究人员借助人工智能分析鲸类声音，并启动 CETI 项目，试图破解抹香鲸的交流系统，这一研究可能加深人类对动物语言与智力的理解。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Yet the real meaning of these signals has long remained a mystery.(然而这些信号的真正含义长期以来一直是个谜)”可知，抹香鲸的尾音承载着有待解读的含义。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“Many experts believe that such a system may even include something similar to a basic language, but no one has been able to fully figure it out so far.(许多专家认为，这样的系统甚至可能包含类似于基本语言的元素，但迄今为止还没有人能够完全弄清楚它)”可知，交流系统迄今为止还没有人能够完全弄清楚，说明这一问题是长期存在的。故划线词意思是“长期存在的”。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“To solve this perennial puzzle, scientists have turned to AI for help. By feeding thousands of whale recordings into advanced computer models, scientists have begun to detect patterns that human ears alone could never recognize. Similar to the way large language models learn patterns in human speech, AI systems can analyze enormous collections of whale codas and identify repeating structures within them. In early experiments, these systems were able to predict the type of coda and even identify which whale produced it with remarkable accuracy.(为了解决这一长期存在的难题，科学家们开始借助人工智能寻求帮助。他们将数千段鲸鱼的录音输入到先进的计算机模型中，从而开始发现人类耳朵无法识别的模式。类似于大型语言模型学习人类语言中的模式的方式，人工智能系统能够分析大量的鲸鱼叫声样本，并识别其中重复的结构。在早期的实验中，这些系统能够准确预测叫声的类型，并且能够相当准确地识别出发出这种叫声的是哪只鲸鱼)”可知，本段主要介绍人工智能在研究抹香鲸尾音中所起的作用。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“If successful, the project could transform how humans understand animal intelligence. Not only might it reveal that whales possess a complicated communication system, but it could also show that language-like structures exist far beyond the human world.(如果该项目取得成功，它将彻底改变人类对动物智力的认知方式。它不仅可能会揭示鲸鱼拥有复杂的交流系统，还可能表明类似语言的结构远远超出人类世界的范围)”可知，作者认为CETI项目可能提升人类对动物语言的理解。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。 Friendship and personality While some aspects of making friends are universal — like the need for trust and genuine connection — how we get there can look very different from person to person. ____16____ Some, however, prefer private coffee dates. Actually, there’s no one-size-fits-all (通用的) approach. And that’s great news. Let’s explore how different personalities can shape making friends in adulthood. Find your social pattern. Introverts (内向者) typically build their strongest connections in quieter, more personal settings. Extroverts (外向者), on the other hand, often make friends through interesting conversations and group activities. ____17____ And here’s why: they’re just different paths to finding meaningful friendships. ____18____ Everyone processes emotions differently, as we can see in the distinction between Thinking and Feeling personality types. Thinking types might show friendship through acts of practical support or by engaging in shared interests, while Feeling types often express connection through acknowledgement of feelings and heart-to-heart conversations. Balance your social approach. Some people often bring thoughtfulness to new relationships. ____19____ However, this self-reflection can turn into self-doubt and social anxiety. On the other hand, others approach new friendships with more immediate confidence, which can help them fearlessly form new bonds. These are just a few examples of how personality shapes our friendship styles. ____20____ Often, how we process information or structure our social lives also matters. Ultimately, the key to success is finding friendship strategies that are in tune with your natural tendencies. A. Build bonds your way. B. Neither approach is better! C. There are several other aspects (方面). D. Avoid taking bad experiences personally. E. Some people shine in large social gatherings. F. Some need daily social interaction to feel energized. G. They take time to consider social interactions carefully. 【答案】16. E 17. B 18. A 19. G 20. C 【解析】 【导语】文章探讨了不同性格类型如何影响成年人的交友方式，并指出没有统一标准，关键在于找到适合自己天性的策略。 【16题详解】 上文“While some aspects of making friends are universal — like the need for trust and genuine connection — how we get there can look very different from person to person. (虽然交友的一些方面具有普遍性——比如需要信任和真诚的连接——但实现这些目标的方式却因人而异。)”提到交友方式因人而异，下文“Some, however, prefer private coffee dates. (然而，有些人更喜欢私下约咖啡。)”提到部分人群的偏好，因此这里应引出与之对比的另一种偏好，E项“Some people shine in large social gatherings. (有些人在大型社交聚会中表现出色。)”符合语境，和下文形成对比，共同形成对上文的支撑。 【17题详解】 上文“Introverts (内向者) typically build their strongest connections in quieter, more personal settings. Extroverts (外向者), on the other hand, often make friends through interesting conversations and group activities. (内向型人格通常在安静、私密的环境中建立最牢固的关系，而外向型人格则往往通过有趣的交谈和团体活动来结交朋友。)”分别描述了内向者和外向者的交友方式，下文“And here’s why: they’re just different paths to finding meaningful friendships. (原因如下：它们只是寻找有意义友谊的不同途径。)”解释两者仅是不同途径，因此这里应强调两种方式没有优劣之分，B项“Neither approach is better! (两种方法都一样好！)”符合语境，点明观点，承上启下。 【18题详解】 下文“Everyone processes emotions differently, as we can see in the distinction between Thinking and Feeling personality types. Thinking types might show friendship through acts of practical support or by engaging in shared interests, while Feeling types often express connection through acknowledgement of feelings and heart-to-heart conversations. (每个人处理情绪的方式各不相同，这一点可以从“思维型”和“情感型”人格类型之间的区别中看出。思维型的人可能通过实际行动提供支持或共同参与兴趣爱好来表达友谊；而情感型的人则往往通过认可他人感受、进行真诚的对话来建立联系。)”对比思维型和情感型两种性格在情感处理上的差异，强调每个人以自己的方式建立联系，因此A项“Build bonds your way. (以你的方式建立联系。)”符合语境，最贴合段落主题，可作为段落标题统领下文内容。 【19题详解】 上文“Some people often bring thoughtfulness to new relationships. (有些人在新关系中会深思熟虑。)”提到部分人群深思熟虑的特质，下文“However, this self-reflection can turn into self-doubt and social anxiety. (然而，这种自我反思可能会演变为自我怀疑和社会焦虑。)”指出这种特质带来的负面影响，因此这里应具体描述这类人的行为特点，G项“They take time to consider social interactions carefully. (他们花时间仔细考虑社交互动。)”符合语境，承接上文，和下文构成转折，其中的They指代上文的Some people。 【20题详解】 上文“These are just a few examples of how personality shapes our friendship styles. (这些只是性格如何影响我们交友方式的几个例子。)”总结上文给出的介绍，下文“Often, how we process information or structure our social lives also matters. (我们处理信息或组织社交生活的方式，往往也至关重要。)”提到其他影响因素，因此这里需要一句过渡，引出其他方面，C项“There are several other aspects (方面). (还有其他几个方面。)”符合语境，承上启下。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分25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。 I’ve grown used to the pause when someone hears my name — Goodluck.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述尼日利亚作者Goodluck分享自己名字的经历：在尼日利亚寓意美好的名字十分普遍，赴美后却常被他人疑惑，他还借助动画解释自己的中间名；在尼日利亚文化中名字承载特殊含义，于异国他乡，名字成为连接故乡的纽带，让他明白故土无需抛下，始终相伴自身。 【21题详解】 考查名词。句意：当别人听到我的名字Goodluck时总会停顿一下，他们会带着困惑看着我。A. admiration钦佩；B. excitement兴奋；C. pity同情；D. puzzle困惑。根据后文“Is that really your name?”以及“How do you spell it?”可知，人们对这个名字充满疑惑。 【22题详解】 考查名词。句意：我从未想到这个名字需要大量解释。A. attention关注；B. discussion讨论；C. explanation解释；D. description描述。根据前文“Is that really your name?”以及“How do you spell it?”可知，作者没想到自己要解释名字。 【23题详解】 考查形容词。句意：在尼日利亚，像Precious, Beauty or Grace这类名字十分普遍。A. embarrassing尴尬的；B. formal正式的；C. common普遍的；D. strange奇怪的。根据后文“Even one of our former presidents was named Goodluck Jonathan.”可知，前总统都使用同类名字，说明这类名字在当地很普遍。 【24题详解】 考查副词。句意：高中时期很少有人直接叫我的名，老师们总是称呼我的姓氏。A. politely礼貌地；B. seldom很少；C. suddenly突然；D. frequently频繁地。根据后文“My teachers always used my last name.”可知，老师一贯只喊我的姓氏，由此能看出很少有人叫我的名字。 【25题详解】 考查形容词。句意：直到去往美国，我才意识到我的名字有多与众不同。A. different不同的；B. meaningful有意义的；C. complex复杂的；D. traditional传统的。根据后文“where “Goodluck” stopped fitting in”可知，这个名字在美国不再适配当地习惯，和本土名字差别很大。 【26题详解】 考查名词。句意：人们听到这个名字没有表示认同，反而满是难以置信。A. examination检查；B. expectation期待；C. consideration考虑；D. recognition认同。根据后文“it was met with disbelief”以及“Instead of”可知，所填词与disbelief 含义相反，recognition符合本句语境。 【27题详解】 考查动词。句意：我不得不拼出名字，还要解释我不是在开玩笑。A. caring关心；B. cheating欺骗；C. joking开玩笑；D. disagreeing反对。根据前文“it was met with disbelief”可知，美国人不敢相信这是真实名字，会误以为我在开玩笑。 【28题详解】 考查形容词。句意：说到我的中间名，我有一个绝佳的解释办法。A. perfect绝佳的；B. scientific科学的；C. additional额外的；D. theoretical理论的。根据后文“This took a little bit of time, but it worked.”可知，用动画角色举例的解释方式十分管用，是绝佳的方法。 【29题详解】 考查动词。句意：你看过《阿凡达：最后的气宗》吗？还记得祖寇的妹妹阿祖拉吗？A. Dislike讨厌；B. Forgive原谅；C. Ignore忽视；D. Remember记得。根据前文“Have you seen ‘Avatar (阿凡达): The Last Airbender’?”可知，作者借助动画人物Azula类比自己的中间名Azuka，此处是询问对方是否记得这个动画角色。 【30题详解】 考查动词。句意：我的中间名是Azuka，只是把字母l换成了k。A. combine结合；B. replace替换；C. provide提供；D. compare对比。根据前文“My middle name is Azuka”可知，两个名字仅字母l和k有区别，此处表示用字母k替换字母l，选项中的replace符合本句语境。 【31题详解】 考查名词。句意：在尼日利亚文化中，名字承载着特殊寓意。A. secrets秘密；B. titles头衔；C. messages寓意；D. signals信号。根据后文“Some reflect the circumstances of birth”可知，很多名字会传递出身背景、美好期许等寓意。 【32题详解】 考查名词。句意：而我的名字Goodluck，就是我随身携带的一份祝福。A. place地点；B. wealth财富；C. reflection映射；D. blessing祝福。根据前文“Even one of our former presidents was named Goodluck Jonathan.” 和“Some reflect the circumstances of birth”可知，Goodluck是寓意美好的名字，代表好运与祝福。 【33题详解】 考查动词。句意：身处全新的国家，被新的人群、文化与环境包围。A. doubted怀疑；B. surrounded包围；C. troubled困扰；D. changed改变。根据后文的“by new people, cultures and places”可知，作者身处异国、四周全是陌生事物的状态，此处表示被陌生事物环绕。 【34题详解】 考查动词。句意：我的名字成为把我和故乡相连的纽带。A. connects连接；B. adjusts调整；C. chains束缚；D. sends发送。根据后文“it’s something I carry with me”可知，名字时刻提醒我不忘故土，起到连接我与家乡的作用。 【35题详解】 考查动词短语。句意：它提醒我，故乡不是我抛下的东西，而是我随身携带的归宿。A. left behind抛下；B. longed for渴望；C. learned about了解；D. depended on依靠。根据前文“isn’t something”和后文“it’s something I carry with me”可知，“随身携带”与“抛下”形成相反含义，left behind符合本句语境。 第二节（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10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。 Driven by fears of a TikTok ban starting Jan. 19, numerous US users have flocked to Red Note, a popular Chinese social media platform, ____36____ quickly topped app stores in the US.

The streets were dotted with fresh green bamboo leaves, and the air was filled with the faint fragrance of mugwort (艾蒿), announcing the arrival of the traditional festival. Seventeen-year-old Ethan, who had lived in the United States with his parents since childhood, was sent back to his hometown to spend the festival with his grandfather. Having grown up immersed in Western culture, Ethan held a strong sense of indifference towards traditional Chinese festivals. He regarded the Dragon Boat Festival as nothing but an old, outdated custom, far less attractive than Western carnivals and parties. All he wanted to do was stay in his room, scrolling through social media or playing online games, showing no interest in the festive atmosphere around him. Grandfather was a well-known local inheritor of traditional zongzi-making skills, and he had been eagerly looking forward to Ethan’s return, hoping to pass on the family craft and help his grandson connect with his cultural roots. He specially picked fresh bamboo leaves, prepared high-quality glutinous rice, sweet red beans and salty egg yolks, and invited Ethan to make zongzi with him. However, Ethan frowned and refused rudely without a second thought. He complained that making zongzi was tedious (冗长的) and time-consuming, and couldn’t understand why people still stuck to such old customs. Hearing his words, Grandfather’s smile faded away, and a deep sense of disappointment crossed his wrinkled face. He silently carried the ingredients to the courtyard, sitting alone on the stone bench, slowly folding the bamboo leaves. 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。 Paragraph 1: Watching Grandfather’s bent back in the courtyard, Ethan was seized with a complicated mixture of guilt and hesitation. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: As the steaming zongzi were taken out, the rich fragrance filled the whole courtyard, touching Ethan’s heart deeply. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1 Watching Grandfather’s bent back in the courtyard, Ethan was seized with a complicated mixture of guilt and hesitation. He stepped out of the room slowly, his eyes falling on Grandfather’s rough but deft hands folding bamboo leaves neatly. Sensing his approach, Grandfather looked up with a gentle smile, patiently demonstrating every step without urging. Ethan sat down quietly, imitating his movements clumsily. Despite failing several times, Grandfather guided him with endless patience, telling him the stories of Qu Yuan behind the festival while they worked. Gradually, Ethan’s restlessness faded away, and he became fully absorbed in the delicate process. Paragraph 2 As the steaming zongzi were taken out, the rich fragrance filled the whole courtyard, touching Ethan’s heart deeply. He took a bite of the warm zongzi, tasting not only the sweet filling but also the love of family and the weight of tradition. For the first time, he truly understood that the Dragon Boat Festival was far more than a simple festival — it carried the long history of China and the precious cultural roots of his family. A strong sense of cultural pride surged through him, and he completely let go of his previous prejudice. That summer, Ethan truly found his cultural identity and learned to cherish the precious traditions of his motherland. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了在端午节即将来临之际，自幼随父母生活在美国的 17 岁少年伊桑，被送回中国南方古镇的家乡与祖父共度佳节。伊桑深受西方文化影响，对中国传统节日漠不关心，认为端午节老旧过时。祖父作为当地知名的粽子制作技艺传承人，希望伊桑能传承这一技艺，却遭到伊桑的拒绝，祖父因此感到失望。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写伊桑内心充满愧疚和犹豫，在祖父引导下，伊桑逐渐投入到包粽子的过程中。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写伊桑品尝粽子，感受到其中蕴含的亲情与传统的重量，找到了自己的文化身份，学会珍惜祖国的传统。 2.续写线索：伊桑内心纠结——走出房间——祖父示范——伊桑模仿——逐渐投入——品尝粽子——领悟意义—— 放下偏见——找到身份——珍惜传统 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①走出：step out /walk out ②告诉：tell/inform 情绪类 ①犹豫：hesitation/indecision ②偏见：prejudice/bias 【点睛】【高分句型 1】He stepped out of the room slowly, his eyes falling on Grandfather’s rough but deft hands folding bamboo leaves neatly.（运用了独立主格结构 his eyes falling on...） 【高分句型 2】For the first time, he truly understood that the Dragon Boat Festival was far more than a simple festival — it carried the long history of China and the precious cultural roots of his family.（运用了 that 引导的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 陕西师大附中2025-2026学年度第二学期期末考试 高一年级英语试题 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分20分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 听下面5段对话。每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音读两遍。 1.

B A few years ago, we bought a Lego Taj Mahal (泰姬陵) for my dad’s birthday, hoping to combine his love for architecture with family time. Each evening, my dad and I gathered around the large dining table to build the model. We faced thousands of tiny white pieces, each packaged with precision in numbered plastic bags, accompanied by a thick instruction book. The evenings passed quickly, and the building rose before our eyes. We could see our efforts producing good results, and as we turned to the boring task of ordering the colored bricks on the building’s floor, our conversation too took a turn. We were amazed by how complex the model was and its instruction book. We realized the book itself was a work of art, beautiful, but also surprisingly detailed and clear. It provided us with the comfort of certainty. We knew if we followed all the instructions, we would end up with a model that looked exactly like the picture on the box. If we made a mistake, all we had to do was to repeat our steps and start again. Life, however, does not fit together so neatly and rarely provides us with such clear instructions. We talked over our respective lives, decisions made, and actions and choices never taken. Dad reflected on a life well lived, and I, in my mid-thirties, on the uncertain path that lay ahead Here, we were the expert architects doing the assembling, but out in the world, we were the ones being assembled. We think we’re in control, but our choices are shaped by forces beyond our control. In the face of uncertainty, we have to proceed, trusting both in the process and the end result. Sometimes, on the days I return home, I go to the spare room to look at the completed Lego model, which brings forth a sense of happiness and comfort. It reminds me that life is built slowly, with mistakes, an element of uncertainty and no instruction book. It shows that consideration, warmth and faith will result in a life well lived. Life itself is not about what we materially create or leave behind, but rather how we lived it. 4. Which can best describe the author’s experience of building the Lego model? A. Simple and uninteresting. B. Imaginative and enjoyable. C. Complicated and rewarding. D. Challenging and discouraging. 5. What does the author learn from assembling the Lego model? A. Life requires to be planned carefully. B. Life doesn’t come with clear guidance. C. Mistakes in life can always be corrected. D. Life’s uncertainty makes it more exciting. 6. How does the author suggest we deal with uncertainty in life? A. By avoiding making any choice. B. By focusing on instant end results. C. By seeking instructions from others. D. By moving forward with confidence. 7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Lego: A Symbol of Family Bond B. Building with Lego: Lessons for Life C. The Complexity of Architectural Models D. Life: A Journey Without Instructions C People experience emotional pain — often in the form of guilt (内疚) — when spending money. This is called the moral tax (道德税) or pain of payment. We can reduce this guilt by separating the enjoyment of a purchase (购买) from its payment. However, the best way to reduce moral tax is by receiving a gift—an item you don’t have to pay for at all! As a result, the best gifts are items that normally bring particularly high levels of moral tax. This may include goods that appear overpriced and therefore bring particularly bad feelings of guilt upon purchase. Curiously, it’s not about the actual amount of money spent. What matters most are the emotions brought by the gift (or the guilt taken away). Consider the following example as an explanation. For weeks, Anne has had her eye on a pair of designer shoes. They look incredibly stylish and go perfectly with her new winter coat. She’s got enough money to pay for the shoes but doesn’t think the purchase is necessary. After all, she already owns three other pairs of winter footwear. Still, Anne makes sure to mention the shoes to her husband Alex, and on Christmas morning she is overjoyed to open a large box containing the shoes. She is happy with the gift even though Alex bought it from their family bank account. Looking at it from an economic point of view, Anne’s happiness doesn’t make any sense. Since she shares a bank account with her husband, it doesn’t matter who buys the shoes. The loss of money is the same either way. How can Anne be happy with Alex making a purchase she previously thought unnecessary? It all comes down to moral tax. By making the payment on Anne’s behalf, Alex cuts her wife’s pain of payment. Anne gets to enjoy her precious shoes guilt-free. The experts suggest that the best gifts are things that people really want but refuse themselves to avoid feeling guilty. What are your partner’s secret wants and guilty pleasures? Unfortunately, that’s the one question you need to answer yourself. 8. What does the moral tax refer to in the text? A. The guilt of receiving an expensive gift. B. The problems caused by overspending. C. The feeling of satisfaction after making a purchase. D. The emotional pain coming from spending money. 9. Why does Anne refuse to buy the shoes herself? A. She has got a similar pair. B. She is influenced by the moral tax. C. She decides to put off satisfaction. D. She only wants to use her husband’s money. 10. What may an economist think of Anne’s excitement? A. Unreasonable. B. Unreal. C. Interesting. D. Expected. 11. What do the experts suggest about the best gifts? A. They should be practical and useful. B. They should be expensive to show appreciation. C. They should be items that people really want but avoid buying due to guilt. D. They should be items that don’t cost people too much but are meaningful. D Scientists have known that sperm whales communicate through patterns of clicks known as codas. These sounds are not random. Instead, they form complex sequences that whales use when interacting with members of their family groups. Yet the real meaning of these signals has long remained a mystery. Hidden within the ocean’s depths is a communication system far more complicated than researchers once imagined. Many experts believe that such a system may even include something similar to a basic language, but no one has been able to fully figure it out so far. To solve this perennial puzzle, scientists have turned to AI for help. By feeding thousands of whale recordings into advanced computer models, scientists have begun to detect patterns that human ears alone could never recognize. Similar to the way large language models learn patterns in human speech, AI systems can analyze enormous collections of whale codas and identify repeating structures within them. In early experiments, these systems were able to predict the type of coda and even identify which whale produced it with remarkable accuracy. Inspired by these results, researchers launched Project CETI (Cetacean Translation Initiative), an international collaboration bringing together marine biologists, linguists, engineers and computer scientists to interpret the communication system of sperm whales. By combining underwater recording devices with powerful AI models, the team hopes to map the hidden structure of whale sounds and eventually understand how whales exchange information. If successful, the project could transform how humans understand animal intelligence. Not only might it reveal that whales possess a complicated communication system, but it could also show that language-like structures exist far beyond the human world. In this sense, AI may become more than a technological tool. Properly used, it could help humans listen, perhaps for the first time, to the voices of another species. 12. What can we learn about sperm whales’ codas from paragraph 1? A. They can only be heard in the deep ocean. B. They are simple signals for daily communication. C. They carry meanings that are waiting to be explained. D. They differ greatly from other sea animals’ sound patterns. 13. What does the underlined word “perennial” mean? A. long-standing B. wide-ranging C. far-reaching D. deep-rooted 14. What does paragraph 2 mainly focus on? A. The importance of large language models. B. The role AI plays in studying whale codas. C. The process of collecting whale recordings. D. The achievements in whale protection research. 15. What does the author say about Project CETI? A. It has solved the mystery of animal intelligence. B.

Actually, there’s no one-size-fits-all (通用的) approach. And that’s great news. Let’s explore how different personalities can shape making friends in adulthood. Find your social pattern. Introverts (内向者) typically build their strongest connections in quieter, more personal settings. Extroverts (外向者), on the other hand, often make friends through interesting conversations and group activities. ____17____ And here’s why: they’re just different paths to finding meaningful friendships. ____18____ Everyone processes emotions differently, as we can see in the distinction between Thinking and Feeling personality types. Thinking types might show friendship through acts of practical support or by engaging in shared interests, while Feeling types often express connection through acknowledgement of feelings and heart-to-heart conversations. Balance your social approach. Some people often bring thoughtfulness to new relationships. ____19____ However, this self-reflection can turn into self-doubt and social anxiety. On the other hand, others approach new friendships with more immediate confidence, which can help them fearlessly form new bonds.

The streets were dotted with fresh green bamboo leaves, and the air was filled with the faint fragrance of mugwort (艾蒿), announcing the arrival of the traditional festival. Seventeen-year-old Ethan, who had lived in the United States with his parents since childhood, was sent back to his hometown to spend the festival with his grandfather. Having grown up immersed in Western culture, Ethan held a strong sense of indifference towards traditional Chinese festivals. He regarded the Dragon Boat Festival as nothing but an old, outdated custom, far less attractive than Western carnivals and parties. All he wanted to do was stay in his room, scrolling through social media or playing online games, showing no interest in the festive atmosphere around him. Grandfather was a well-known local inheritor of traditional zongzi-making skills, and he had been eagerly looking forward to Ethan’s return, hoping to pass on the family craft and help his grandson connect with his cultural roots. He specially picked fresh bamboo leaves, prepared high-quality glutinous rice, sweet red beans and salty egg yolks, and invited Ethan to make zongzi with him. However, Ethan frowned and refused rudely without a second thought. He complained that making zongzi was tedious (冗长的) and time-consuming, and couldn’t understand why people still stuck to such old customs. Hearing his words, Grandfather’s smile faded away, and a deep sense of disappointment crossed his wrinkled face. He silently carried the ingredients to the courtyard, sitting alone on the stone bench, slowly folding the bamboo leaves. 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。 Paragraph 1: Watching Grandfather’s bent back in the courtyard, Ethan was seized with a complicated mixture of guilt and hesitation. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: As the steaming zongzi were taken out, the rich fragrance filled the whole courtyard, touching Ethan’s heart deeply. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
