This holiday takes in three outstanding gardens and still leaves plenty of time to enjoy the towns, villages and sweeping coastal walks that define this beautiful corner of England. Holiday grade: usual daily walks Distance: 3 miles; Ascent/Descent: 150-200m; Terrain (地势): good paths and tracks; Time: short or half day exploration. Holiday Highlights ● Discover botanical beauty at RHS Garden Rosemoor. Managed by the Royal Horticultural Society, Garden Rosemoor offers an extraordinary variety of planting. With beautiful flowers and quiet woodland paths, every corner of the garden has its own story to tell. The air is filled with floral scents (香味), and peaceful pathways invite you to enjoy the seasonal displays at your own pace. ● Enjoy the timeless coastal charm of the village of Clovelly. Known for steep, cobbled streets and whitewashed cottages leading down to the sea, Clovelly feels like a step back in time. Further west, we explore Hartland and the dramatic coastline that surrounds it. Towering cliffs, hidden coves (小海湾), and sculpted rock formations define this wilder part of North Devon. ● Admire Mediterranean-style gardens, sculptures and fountains at Tapeley Park. Tapeley Park offers a relaxing, unconventional garden experience. High above the Torridge Estuary, its Italianate terraces (露台) and wildflower grasslands blend into the countryside.

(距离：3英里；爬升/下降：150-200米；地形：完好步道；时间：短时或半天探索)”可知，该旅行的徒步距离短、地势平缓、用时较短，整体强度较低，因此最吸引喜欢轻松户外散步的爱好者。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据● Discover botanical beauty at RHS Garden Rosemoor:部分“peaceful pathways invite you to enjoy the seasonal displays at your own pace (宁静的小路邀请您按照自己的节奏欣赏四季植物景观)”可知，游客可以在RHS Garden Rosemoor欣赏季节性植物。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据● Admire Mediterranean-style gardens, sculptures and fountains at Tapeley Park.部分“Alongside the planting and sculptures, there’s a deep commitment to sustainability and organic farming (除了植物和雕塑，这里还致力于可持续发展和有机农业)”可知，Tapeley Park的特别之处在于它支持绿色/有机农业。 B A Gen Z train attendant in China has gained widespread praise for his creative approach to keeping children calm and entertained during long train rides — by handing out test papers and stickers. Qin Yunhao, who works on the G1546 high-speed train, brings along a plastic bag filled with simple worksheets and colorful reward stickers every time he’s on duty. His idea is simple but effective: children who become noisy during the journey are gently handed a test paper, and upon completing it, are rewarded with stickers. Meanwhile, children who remain quiet throughout the ride are given stickers directly as a form of positive reward. The idea, which started during the summer travel rush, has received huge support from parents and netizens. Many praised it for turning a potentially chaotic carriage into a peaceful environment, while also giving children something meaningful to do during the journey. The inspiration came from observing parents who brought homework for their children on board. Wanting to help those who hadn’t come prepared, Qin began printing out simple exercises to share. This low-cost but thoughtful solution has been described as a “magical fix”, as it relieves pressure on parents, entertains young passengers, and helps maintain order in a public space. It’s also seen as a reflection of growing human-centered innovation in public service. Qin’s fellow railway staff have also adopted various child-friendly practices. Some bring picture books or small toys, others create “kids’ kits” with puzzles and games. On certain trains, a children’s activity area has even been set up in the dining car. Railway staff also encourage parents to prepare entertainment in advance — such as downloading cartoons or bringing educational games — to help children enjoy the ride calmly and constructively. Balancing children’s natural liveliness with public order is no easy task. But initiatives like this show that thoughtful, human-centered solutions can go a long way toward creating more harmonious public spaces. 4. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. Qin’s work place. B. Qin’s creative method. C. Rewards for quiet children. D. Children’s behavior on trains. 5. What problem was Qin’s method aimed at? A. Noise on the train. B. Passengers’ fight for seats. C. Children’s laziness. D. Bad service on the train. 6. Why does the author mention other railway staff’s practices? A. To criticize their methods. B. To prove the fellow staff’s innovation. C. To show Qin is fit for his job. D. To indicate Qin’s method’s influence. 7. Which proverb can best summarize the text? A. No pain, no gain. B. A little thought goes a long way. C. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. D. Actions speak louder than words. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了中国一位Z世代列车乘务员覃云昊通过分发试卷和贴纸让孩子们在长途火车上保持安静和娱乐的创意做法，以及这一做法带来的积极影响。 【4题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段中的“His idea is simple but effective: children who become noisy during the journey are gently handed a test paper, and upon completing it, are rewarded with stickers. Meanwhile, children who remain quiet throughout the ride are given stickers directly as a form of positive reward.(他的办法简单却奏效：旅途中吵闹的孩子会被轻声递上一份试卷，完成后就能获得贴纸奖励。而全程安分的孩子则直接拿到贴纸，以此作为正向激励。)”可知，本段主要介绍覃云昊独创的管理方法。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“His idea is simple but effective: children who become noisy during the journey are gently handed a test paper, and upon completing it, are rewarded with stickers.(他的办法简单却奏效：旅途中吵闹的孩子会被轻声递上一份试卷，完成后就能获得贴纸奖励。)”以及第三段中的“Many praised it for turning a potentially chaotic carriage into a peaceful environment, while also giving children something meaningful to do during the journey.(不少人对此称赞有加，这一做法让原本可能喧闹的车厢变得安静，也让孩子们在旅途中有了有益的事可做。)”可知，覃云昊的方法旨在解决火车上孩子们吵闹制造噪音的问题。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Qin’s fellow railway staff have also adopted various child-friendly practices. Some bring picture books or small toys, others create ‘kids’ kits’ with puzzles and games.(覃的铁路同事们也采取了各种对儿童友好的做法。有的带图画书或小玩具，有的制作装有拼图和游戏的‘儿童包’。)”可知，作者提到其他工作人员的做法，是为了表明覃的方法产生了积极影响，带动了大家共同创新。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段中的“But initiatives like this show that thoughtful, human-centered solutions can go a long way toward creating more harmonious public spaces.(但像这样的举措表明，深思熟虑、以人为本的解决方案可以在创造更和谐的公共空间方面发挥巨大作用。)”可知，文章强调小小的想法（分发试卷和贴纸）能产生巨大的积极影响。B选项“A little thought goes a long way(小小的想法大有裨益)”最能总结全文。 C Ultra-processed foods have long been associated with obesity and diabetes. But a series of papers published in the May issue of Brain Medicine adds a new threat to the list: these foods are also a significant source of microplastic exposure. And those plastics, scientists warn, may be building up in human brains. Four interrelated studies in the journal combine years of research on how tiny plastic particles enter the human body and what they might be doing once inside. The evidence is depressing. Not only can microplastics pass through the gut and circulate in the bloodstream, they can also cross the blood-brain barrier, according to multiple studies cited in the new issue. “Ultra-processed foods now comprise more than 50 percent of energy intake in countries like the United States, and these foods contain significantly higher concentrations of microplastics than whole foods,” Nicholas Fabiano, one of the co-authors, said in a statement. For example, chicken pieces contain nearly 30 times more microplastics per gram than chicken breast. Researchers say this is largely due to the high degree of industrial contact that processed foods have, from plastic packaging to grinding (研磨). Microplastics are defined as plastic particles less than five millimeters in size. Scientists have found that they may trigger immune responses and mitochondrial (线粒体的) disorder. These are some of the same biological pathways already associated with ultra-processed food consumption. The links between plastic and brain health are not just theoretical. A 2023 study in Environmental Science & Technology demonstrated that nanoplastics — the smallest of the microplastic class — can alter brain gene expression in mice, leading to anxiety-like behaviors. While the science is still evolving, a 2022 study estimated that the average American consumes more than 50,000 microplastic particles per year. More research is needed, but the connection between ultra-processed food consumption and plastic pollution adds another reason for consumers to rethink their food choices. 8. Why does the author mention the four interrelated studies in paragraph 2? A. To prove the microplastics can harm the gut. B. To show his disappointment with the studies. C. To tell that the microplastics can enter human brains. D. To introduce methods of reducing microplastic exposure. 9. What is true about ultra-processed foods? A. They are foods like chicken breast. B. They are frequently exposed to plastics. C. They contain fewer microplastics than whole foods. D. They make up over half of energy intake in most countries. 10. How does the author support the argument in paragraph 5? A. By showing study results. B. By describing a research process. C. By comparing different plastic types. D. By giving examples of brain health cases. 11. What’s the author’s attitude towards ultra-processed foods? A. Neutral. B. Approving. C. Ambiguous. D. Unfavorable. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】文章讲述了超加工食品早就和肥胖、糖尿病绑定在了一起，但最新研究还发现这类食品还会给我们的健康带来意料之外的新威胁——它可能会让微塑料在我们的大脑中累积，进而损伤脑部健康。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“these foods are also a significant source of microplastic exposure. And those plastics, scientists warn, may be building up in human brains.(这些食物也是微塑料接触的重要来源。科学家警告说，这些塑料可能会在人脑中积聚。)”和第二段“Four interrelated studies in the journal combine years of research on how tiny plastic particles enter the human body and what they might be doing once inside...Not only can microplastics pass through the gut and circulate in the bloodstream, they can also cross the blood-brain barrier...(该期刊中的四项相关研究结合了多年研究，探索微小塑料颗粒如何进入人体，以及进入人体后可能产生的影响……微塑料不仅可以穿过肠道、在血液循环中流动，还可以穿过血脑屏障……)”可知，这四项研究是为了验证首段提出的“微塑料可以进入人类大脑”的结论。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Researchers say this is largely due to the high degree of industrial contact that processed foods have, from plastic packaging to grinding (研磨).(研究人员表示，这很大程度上是因为超加工食品在生产过程中，从塑料包装到研磨的多环节都高度接触工业塑料器材)”可知，超加工食品经常会接触塑料。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“A 2023 study in Environmental Science & Technology demonstrated that nanoplastics — the smallest of the microplastic class — can alter brain gene expression in mice, leading to anxiety-like behaviors. While the science is still evolving, a 2022 study estimated that the average American consumes more than 50,000 microplastic particles per year.(2023年《环境科学与技术》的一项研究表明，纳米塑料——微塑料中最小的一种——可以改变小鼠的大脑基因表达，导致类似焦虑的行为。虽然科学仍在发展，但2022年的一项研究估计，美国人平均每年消耗超过50000个微塑料颗粒。)”可知，作者先后列举了2023年发表在《环境科学与技术》上的研究结论，以及2022年关于美国人年均微塑料摄入量的研究估计数据，通过展示两个已有的研究结果支撑本段的论点。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“More research is needed, but the connection between ultra-processed food consumption and plastic pollution adds another reason for consumers to rethink their food choices.(尽管还需要更多研究，但超加工食品摄入与塑料污染的关联，给了消费者又一个重新思考自身饮食选择的理由)”可知，作者暗示消费者应该调整饮食，减少摄入超加工食品，因此作者对超加工食品持不支持态度。 D Gravity seems simple in daily life: drop an apple, and it falls. On universal scales, though, gravity becomes one of science’s biggest stress tests. It governs the formation of galaxies (星系) and the overall structure of the universe, yet some of the universe’s motions still do not add up. This long-running mismatch drove University of Pennsylvania astronomer Patricio A. Gallardo and his team to ask a basic but significant question: what if gravity behaves differently across the largest distances in the universe? “Astrophysics has been troubled by a massive gap,” says Gallardo. “Some stars and galaxies appear to be moving way too fast for the amount of visible matter they contain.” This leads to two possible explanations: either vast amounts of unseen “dark matter” exist, adding extra gravitational pull, or the laws of gravity need to be modified. Now, drawing on data from the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT), the team has carried out a test of gravity on an unprecedented scale. They examined galaxy clusters separated by hundreds of millions of light-years. Their results, published in Physical Review Letters, show that gravitational strength decreases with increasing distance in line with the predictions made by Newton, which were later absorbed into Einstein’s general theory of relativity. “It is remarkable that the law proposed by Newton in the 17th century is still holding its ground in the 21st,” says Gallardo. These findings supported the standard model of cosmology (宇宙学). By confirming that gravity behaves as expected across vast distances, the results challenge the theories like Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND), which attempt to explain universal behavior by modifying the laws of gravity. When Newton first described the inverse square relationship, he focused on motions within our Solar System. Today, that same principle has been tested across distances and masses that were, as Gallardo notes, “inconceivable in Newton’s day.” 12. What is the main intention of the study? A. To test gravity at universal scales. B. To measure the stars’ moving speed. C. To compare different laws of gravity. D. To prove the existence of dark matter. 13. What can be inferred about the team’s discovery? A. Gravity weakens with the decrease of distances. B. Newton’s theory lacks enough striking evidence. C. Newton’s gravity law works across vast distances. D. The law of gravity was based on Einstein’s research. 14. What does the underlined word “inconceivable” in paragraph 6 mean? A. Unbelievable. B. Significant. C. Inspiring. D. Fascinating. 15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. The Mystery of Dark Matter Finally Solved. B. Data from ACT Challenges Law of Gravity. C. An Unchanging Law in an Expanding Universe. D. Universal Test Confirms Gravity’s Staying Power. 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】文章围绕一场宇宙尺度的引力测试展开，最终证实经典引力定律依然有效。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“what if gravity behaves differently across the largest distances in the universe?(倘若引力在宇宙最遥远的尺度下表现出不一样的特性，将会如何？)”可知，研究核心目的是在宇宙尺度下检验引力规律。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Their results, published in Physical Review Letters, show that gravitational strength decreases with increasing distance in line with the predictions made by Newton, which were later absorbed into Einstein’s general theory of relativity. “It is remarkable that the law proposed by Newton in the 17th century is still holding its ground in the 21st,” says Gallardo.(该团队发表在《物理评论快报》上的研究结果表明：引力强度会随着距离的增加而减弱，这与牛顿的预言完全一致，而牛顿的理论后来也被纳入了爱因斯坦的广义相对论。加利亚多说道：“牛顿在17世纪提出的定律，到了21世纪依然站得住脚，这实在令人惊叹。”)”可知，实验证实牛顿引力定律在极远距离下依然成立。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据上文“When Newton first described the inverse square relationship, he focused on motions within our Solar System. Today, that same principle has been tested across distances and masses(牛顿最初提出平方反比定律时，研究对象仅限于太阳系内天体的运动。而如今，这同一套原理已经在超大距离与超大质量范围内接受了检验)”可知，这样的尺度在牛顿所处的年代是根本无法想象的。由此可知，inconceivable意为“无法想象的，难以置信的”。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。文章围绕一场宇宙尺度的引力测试展开，最终证实经典引力定律依然有效。由此可知，D项“宇宙级试验证实引力定律经久不衰”是最好的标题。 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 A lot of parents think kids want to spend all their time on social media, and that’s why it’s so hard to take away. But here’s the truth: ____16____ The reason they can’t decide not to use these apps for themselves is because they’re afraid of missing out on social opportunities, since so many young people maintain their friendships on these platforms. If parents all made the same decision not to let our kids use social media, we’d solve the problem for them. Even if only some parents restrict their kids’ use, it will be enough to force teens to find other ways of communicating. When I talk to parents and teachers about this, I like to start by telling them about a 2023 study in which college students were asked how much money researchers would have to pay them not to use social media accounts for a month. ____17____ Actually, the average amount they wanted was $50, and the median (中位数), $30, was even lower. Then the researchers asked the students how much they’d have to pay them to deactivate their accounts if their friends did the same thing. The answer is: ____18____ No audience member of mine has ever correctly guessed the result. In situations like this, our job as parents is to step in and help our kids. If parents all told our kids they’re not allowed to use social media until they’re 16 years old, none of them would face the dilemma (窘境) of losing social opportunities in the first place. Even if only a few of their friends don’t have social media, they won’t be pariahs (被遗弃的人). ____19____ Instead of seeing pictures of the parties to which they weren’t invited on social apps, they could text with their friends on flip (老式翻盖) phones to make plans — or call and chat. ____20____ Instead of following the polished versions of one another’s lives, they could get together in person and talk about how they’re really doing. A. Kids will probably worry about it. B. Our responsibility here is no different. C. Many teenagers recognize that social media is unhealthy. D. The students were willing to pay the researchers to make this happen. E. So talk to the parents of your kids’ friends and get them to do the same thing. F. My audience typically guesses that the students demanded tens of thousands of dollars. G. Chat groups with people kids know are a good alternative to conversations on social apps. 【答案】16. C 17. F 18. D 19. E 20. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，围绕 “父母应联合限制孩子使用社交媒体” 这一核心观点展开论述，先打破父母的固有认知，再用研究数据佐证观点，最后提出具体解决办法和替代社交方式。 【16题详解】 根据上文“A lot of parents think kids want to spend all their time on social media (很多父母认为孩子想把所有时间都花在社交媒体上)”以及“But here’s the truth (但事实是)”的转折表述可知，空格处需揭示与父母固有认知相反的真相，打破“孩子主观沉迷社交媒体”的错误看法。C选项Many teenagers recognize that social media is unhealthy. (很多青少年其实也意识到社交媒体并不健康。)恰好契合“真相”的转折逻辑，同时能衔接后文孩子无法放弃社交媒体是因害怕错失社交机会的内容，符合语境。故选C项。 【17题详解】 根据上文“When I talk to parents and teachers about this, I like to start by telling them about a 2023 study in which college students were asked how much money researchers would have to pay them not to use social media accounts for a month. (我和家长们、老师们聊起这个话题时，总会先跟他们讲 2023 年的一项研究 —— 研究人员询问大学生，需要付给他们多少钱，他们才愿意在一个月内不使用社交媒体账号。)”以及下文“Actually, the average amount they wanted was $50, and the median, $30, was even lower. (事实上，他们想要的平均金额是50美元，中位数甚至更低，仅为30美元。)”的实际结果可知，空格处需体现人们对大学生所需金额的错误高预期，与后文的低金额形成鲜明对比。F选项My audience typically guesses that the students demanded tens of thousands of dollars. (我的听众通常会猜测，这些学生要求的赔偿金额高达数万美元。)精准体现大众的高预判，与后文实际结果形成反差，符合语境。故选F项。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Then the researchers asked the students how much they’d have to pay them to deactivate their accounts if their friends did the same thing. (随后研究人员又问，如果朋友们也一起停用账号，需要支付多少钱他们才愿意注销自己的社交媒体账号。)”以及下文“No audience member of mine has ever correctly guessed the result. (我的听众里没人猜对过这个结果。)”可知，空格处需揭示该问题的答案，且答案需与前文“获酬才停用”形成反转，超出大众预期。D选项The students were willing to pay the researchers to make this happen. (这些学生甚至愿意花钱请研究人员促成这件事。)，体现“不仅无需获酬，反而愿意付费”的反转结果，契合“无人猜对”的表述，符合语境。故选D项。 【19题详解】 根据上文“If parents all made the same decision not to let our kids use social media, we’d solve the problem for them. (如果所有父母都做出同样的决定，不让孩子使用社交媒体，我们就能为他们解决这个问题。)”以及“Even if only some parents restrict their kids’ use, it will be enough to force teens to find other ways of communicating. (即便只有部分父母限制孩子使用，也足以促使青少年找到其他沟通方式。)”的核心观点可知，空格处需承接该观点，给出具体的实操建议。E选项So talk to the parents of your kids’friends and get them to do the same thing. (所以去和孩子朋友的父母沟通，让他们也这么做。)，以“So”承接前文观点，提出“联合其他父母共同限制”的具体方法，符合语境。故选E项。 【20题详解】 根据上文“they could text with their friends on flip phones to make plans — or call and chat. (他们可以用老式翻盖手机给朋友发短信制定计划，或者打电话聊天。)”以及下文“Instead of following the polished versions of one another’s lives, they could get together in person and talk about how they’re really doing. (他们不用再关注彼此精修后的生活，而是可以面对面相聚，聊聊彼此的真实状况。)”可知，空格处需承接前文，补充脱离社交媒体后，孩子可选择的另一类健康社交沟通方式。G选项Chat groups with people kids know are a good alternative to conversations on social apps. (和孩子认识的人建聊天群，是替代社交媒体上聊天的好方式。)，与前文的发短信、打电话形成并列，均为脱离社交媒体的健康社交形式，衔接后文线下见面的内容，逻辑连贯。故选G项。 第三部分 语言知识运用(共三节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 On a cold winter morning, the Gatton Landfill west of Brisbane was already full of activity.

As he pushed a pile of general waste, he ___22___ a finely-made wooden box, half-buried under plastic bags. Feeling a strong sense of ___23___, he quickly turned off the loud machine, jumped down from the cabin, and carefully picked up the box, ___24___ the dirt with his thick gloves. Upon opening it, Tim’s breath caught. Inside lay four old war medals, shining on faded velvet (天鹅绒), their ribbons still ___25___ after all those years. Recently worried about his son’s tuition fees, he felt his heart ___26___ as he thought of selling the medal. Meanwhile, an inner voice sounded quietly, “The owner must have been a hero.” The ___27___ made him give up the idea and determined to do the right thing, holding the box firmly as if protecting an easily-lost legacy. Reporting the find to his superior, Tim learned the ___28___ ahead — without any names or marks on the medals. He spent days off work looking for ___29___, checking community notices and records with his co-workers. Just as hope was fading, an old woman called, her voice shaking as she spoke about her grandfather’s lost World War II medals. The ___30___ matched completely — the special pattern on one medal ___31___ the identity. When Tim handed her the box, tears rolled down her wrinkled face. “My grandfather ___32___ his unit (小队) by carrying injured soldiers to safety,” she said softly. Going viral on social media, Tim’s deed earned Councilor Julie Re’s ___33___ for his honesty. But for Tim, the real reward was the woman’s ___34___ smile.

Qian Zhaoyue, who is ____38____ charge of the museum, says more young people are now interested in silk-based products. For thousands of years, China has been recognized as the first country in the world to raise silkworms. Since the Ming and Qing dynasties, Suzhou has served as ____39____ exceptionally dynamic center for silk supplied to both domestic and overseas markets, ____40____ influence can still be seen today across the nation. The Suzhou Silk Museum now stands on the original site of a silk factory established in 1931.

Located 37. arriving 38. in 39. an 40. whose 41. artistically 42. had been hidden 43. length 44. to display 45. more absorbing 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了苏州丝绸博物馆的游客热潮、历史渊源、特色展品及国际交流，展现丝绸文化的传承与创新。 【36题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：它位于历史名城苏州，欢迎来自国内外的游客。句子已有谓语动词welcomes，此处应用非谓语动词，it（指代the Suzhou Silk Museum）与locate之间是被动关系，所以用过去分词located作状语，句首单词首字母大写。 【37题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：许多游客，尤其是年轻人，会在博物馆的礼品店停留，这里提供各种丝绸制品或受丝绸启发的产品，一些游客还穿着中式传统丝绸服装前来。此处为with的复合结构，visitors与arrive之间是主动关系，所以用现在分词arriving作宾语补足语。 【38题详解】 考查固定短语。句意：负责该博物馆的钱朝月表示，现在越来越多的年轻人对丝绸制品感兴趣。in charge of为固定短语，意为“负责，主管”，所以此处用in。 【39题详解】 考查冠词。句意：自明清以来，苏州一直是一个极具活力的丝绸中心，为国内外市场提供丝绸，其影响力至今仍在全国可见。center为可数名词单数，此处表示泛指“一个极具活力的丝绸中心”，且exceptionally是以元音音素开头的单词，所以用不定冠词an。 【40题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：自明清以来，苏州一直是一个极具活力的丝绸中心，为国内外市场提供丝绸，其影响力至今仍在全国可见。此处为关系词引导的非限制性定语从句，先行词是Suzhou，与从句中influence构成所属关系，即“苏州的影响力”，所以用关系代词whose。 【41题详解】 考查副词。句意：除了宋、明时期的丝绸服饰外，展品中还有漳缎，这是一种起源于福建的在艺术上独具特色的丝绸面料。此处修饰形容词distinctive，应用副词artistically，意为“在艺术上”。 【42题详解】 考查动词时态和语态。句意：到1931年工厂建成时，制作漳缎的许多核心技术已经对普通工匠保密了几个世纪。根据时间状语“By the time the factory was constructed in 1931”可知，hide“隐藏，隐瞒”这一动作发生在“was constructed”之前，即“过去的过去”，应用过去完成时，且techniques与hide之间是被动关系，所以用过去完成时的被动语态，其结构为“had been +过去分词”。 【43题详解】 考查名词。句意：制作漳缎的机器长度达8米。根据空前的in可知，此处应填名词，long的名词形式为length，in length意为“在长度方面”。 【44题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：该博物馆还与孔子学院合作，在威尼斯展示精选的丝绸服饰，以扩大其国际影响力。此处用动词display“展示”的不定式形式作目的状语，表示与孔子学院合作的目的是展示丝绸服饰。 【45题详解】 考查形容词比较级。句意：钱朝月说：“在推出沉浸式数字展览后，苏州丝绸博物馆对追求传统与创新融合的精通科技的游客来说，成为了一个更具吸引力的目的地。”根据空前的even及语境可知，此处应用形容词比较级more absorbing，意为“更具吸引力的”，作表语。 第四部分 写作 (共两节，满分40分) 第一节 (满分15分) 46. 你校将举办以“Challenges in Teen Growth”为主题的英语演讲比赛，请你写一篇演讲稿参赛，内容包括以下内容: (1)指出成长挑战; (2)提出应对措施。 注意: (1)写作词数应为80个左右; (2)请按如下格式作答。 Dear teachers and fellow students, ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Dear teachers and fellow students, Today, I’d like to talk about the challenges during our teenage years.

She held a basket with some winter roses and a few sprigs of holly (冬青). Dressed in thin clothes, she looked exhausted. “Would you like some flowers? They are just $ 3 for a bunch, and you can pick your own,” she asked me in a soft voice. I paused, gave her a polite smile and replied, “No, thank you”, and then walked straight into the supermarket. I wandered slowly around the supermarket, trying to find the items I needed to buy. However, my mind kept wandering back to the lonely elderly lady standing outdoors in the cold. I couldn’t stop picturing her tired face and fragile figure, nor could I help wondering about the difficulties she was facing. I had my own personal struggles in life and had to budget every expense carefully. I fully understood that $ 3 mattered a lot to me, and I knew it meant far more to this flower-selling lady. But when she asked me, my first thought wasn’t about money. Instead, it was simply that I didn’t have any cash on me. Actually, I had hardly carried cash for years and always paid by card. But deep in my heart, I believed this could never be an excuse. After picking up my goods, I went straight to join the queue at the checkout counter. While waiting in line, I saw several customers paying with cash and the cashier giving change patiently. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 A good idea occurred to me as I watched the scene. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I held out the three one-dollar bills and handed them to the elderly lady. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 A good idea occurred to me as I watched the scene. I could withdraw some cash from the ATM outside. After paying my bill with a card, I hurried out into the cold wind. The elderly lady was still standing there, her thin coat trembling slightly, cheeks pale and hands red with cold. Her basket of winter roses and holly looked so delicate in the gray afternoon light. I felt guilty for refusing her earlier, knowing how hard it must be for her to stand here all day selling flowers just to make a living. I held out the three one-dollar bills and handed them to the elderly lady. She looked at me in surprise, then her tired face lit up with a warm smile. “Thank you so much, dear,” she said softly. She carefully picked the most beautiful bunch of roses and holly and gave it to me. The sweet fragrance filled my nose and warmed my heart. Walking away, I realized kindness costs little but can light up someone’s whole day, turning coldness into warmth. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，文章讲述寒冷中，超市后门一位老妇卖花，作者起初拒绝。购物时，作者一直惦记着她，深知3美元对老妇意义重大，也为自己没带现金的借口而不安，排队时留意到有人用现金付款。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可以预测续写这段主要内容：作者决定取钱买花，回到超市外看到老人仍在寒风中卖花，内心满是愧疚。 ②由第二段首句内容可以预测续写这段主要内容：作者付钱买花，老人开心赠花，我感悟到善意能温暖人心。 2.续写线索：看到老人仍在卖花——内心愧疚——付钱买花——老人开心给花——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①拒绝：refuse/decline/turn down ②意识到：realize/recognize/be aware that 情绪类 ①惊讶：surprise/astonishment/amazement ②温和地：softly/gently/tenderly 【点睛】[高分句型1] The elderly lady was still standing there, her thin coat trembling slightly, cheeks pale and hands red with cold. （运用了独立主格结构） [高分句型2] I felt guilty for refusing her earlier, knowing how hard it must be for her to stand here all day selling flowers just to make a living.（运用了现在分词knowing作状语和how引导的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 六安一中2026年春学期高二年级期末考试 英语试卷 满分：150分 时间：120分钟 第一部分 听力理解(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5 小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段录音。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。每段录音播放两遍。 1．Who is the woman?

B A Gen Z train attendant in China has gained widespread praise for his creative approach to keeping children calm and entertained during long train rides — by handing out test papers and stickers. Qin Yunhao, who works on the G1546 high-speed train, brings along a plastic bag filled with simple worksheets and colorful reward stickers every time he’s on duty. His idea is simple but effective: children who become noisy during the journey are gently handed a test paper, and upon completing it, are rewarded with stickers. Meanwhile, children who remain quiet throughout the ride are given stickers directly as a form of positive reward. The idea, which started during the summer travel rush, has received huge support from parents and netizens. Many praised it for turning a potentially chaotic carriage into a peaceful environment, while also giving children something meaningful to do during the journey. The inspiration came from observing parents who brought homework for their children on board. Wanting to help those who hadn’t come prepared, Qin began printing out simple exercises to share. This low-cost but thoughtful solution has been described as a “magical fix”, as it relieves pressure on parents, entertains young passengers, and helps maintain order in a public space. It’s also seen as a reflection of growing human-centered innovation in public service. Qin’s fellow railway staff have also adopted various child-friendly practices. Some bring picture books or small toys, others create “kids’ kits” with puzzles and games. On certain trains, a children’s activity area has even been set up in the dining car. Railway staff also encourage parents to prepare entertainment in advance — such as downloading cartoons or bringing educational games — to help children enjoy the ride calmly and constructively. Balancing children’s natural liveliness with public order is no easy task. But initiatives like this show that thoughtful, human-centered solutions can go a long way toward creating more harmonious public spaces. 4. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. Qin’s work place. B. Qin’s creative method. C. Rewards for quiet children. D. Children’s behavior on trains. 5. What problem was Qin’s method aimed at? A. Noise on the train. B. Passengers’ fight for seats. C. Children’s laziness. D. Bad service on the train. 6. Why does the author mention other railway staff’s practices? A. To criticize their methods. B. To prove the fellow staff’s innovation. C. To show Qin is fit for his job. D. To indicate Qin’s method’s influence. 7. Which proverb can best summarize the text? A. No pain, no gain. B. A little thought goes a long way. C. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. D. Actions speak louder than words. C Ultra-processed foods have long been associated with obesity and diabetes. But a series of papers published in the May issue of Brain Medicine adds a new threat to the list: these foods are also a significant source of microplastic exposure. And those plastics, scientists warn, may be building up in human brains. Four interrelated studies in the journal combine years of research on how tiny plastic particles enter the human body and what they might be doing once inside. The evidence is depressing. Not only can microplastics pass through the gut and circulate in the bloodstream, they can also cross the blood-brain barrier, according to multiple studies cited in the new issue. “Ultra-processed foods now comprise more than 50 percent of energy intake in countries like the United States, and these foods contain significantly higher concentrations of microplastics than whole foods,” Nicholas Fabiano, one of the co-authors, said in a statement. For example, chicken pieces contain nearly 30 times more microplastics per gram than chicken breast. Researchers say this is largely due to the high degree of industrial contact that processed foods have, from plastic packaging to grinding (研磨). Microplastics are defined as plastic particles less than five millimeters in size. Scientists have found that they may trigger immune responses and mitochondrial (线粒体的) disorder. These are some of the same biological pathways already associated with ultra-processed food consumption. The links between plastic and brain health are not just theoretical. A 2023 study in Environmental Science & Technology demonstrated that nanoplastics — the smallest of the microplastic class — can alter brain gene expression in mice, leading to anxiety-like behaviors. While the science is still evolving, a 2022 study estimated that the average American consumes more than 50,000 microplastic particles per year. More research is needed, but the connection between ultra-processed food consumption and plastic pollution adds another reason for consumers to rethink their food choices. 8. Why does the author mention the four interrelated studies in paragraph 2? A. To prove the microplastics can harm the gut. B. To show his disappointment with the studies. C. To tell that the microplastics can enter human brains. D. To introduce methods of reducing microplastic exposure. 9. What is true about ultra-processed foods? A. They are foods like chicken breast. B. They are frequently exposed to plastics. C. They contain fewer microplastics than whole foods. D. They make up over half of energy intake in most countries. 10. How does the author support the argument in paragraph 5? A. By showing study results. B. By describing a research process. C. By comparing different plastic types. D. By giving examples of brain health cases. 11. What’s the author’s attitude towards ultra-processed foods? A. Neutral. B. Approving. C. Ambiguous. D. Unfavorable. D Gravity seems simple in daily life: drop an apple, and it falls. On universal scales, though, gravity becomes one of science’s biggest stress tests. It governs the formation of galaxies (星系) and the overall structure of the universe, yet some of the universe’s motions still do not add up. This long-running mismatch drove University of Pennsylvania astronomer Patricio A. Gallardo and his team to ask a basic but significant question: what if gravity behaves differently across the largest distances in the universe? “Astrophysics has been troubled by a massive gap,” says Gallardo. “Some stars and galaxies appear to be moving way too fast for the amount of visible matter they contain.” This leads to two possible explanations: either vast amounts of unseen “dark matter” exist, adding extra gravitational pull, or the laws of gravity need to be modified. Now, drawing on data from the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT), the team has carried out a test of gravity on an unprecedented scale. They examined galaxy clusters separated by hundreds of millions of light-years. Their results, published in Physical Review Letters, show that gravitational strength decreases with increasing distance in line with the predictions made by Newton, which were later absorbed into Einstein’s general theory of relativity. “It is remarkable that the law proposed by Newton in the 17th century is still holding its ground in the 21st,” says Gallardo. These findings supported the standard model of cosmology (宇宙学). By confirming that gravity behaves as expected across vast distances, the results challenge the theories like Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND), which attempt to explain universal behavior by modifying the laws of gravity. When Newton first described the inverse square relationship, he focused on motions within our Solar System. Today, that same principle has been tested across distances and masses that were, as Gallardo notes, “inconceivable in Newton’s day.” 12. What is the main intention of the study? A. To test gravity at universal scales. B. To measure the stars’ moving speed. C. To compare different laws of gravity. D. To prove the existence of dark matter. 13. What can be inferred about the team’s discovery? A. Gravity weakens with the decrease of distances. B. Newton’s theory lacks enough striking evidence. C. Newton’s gravity law works across vast distances. D. The law of gravity was based on Einstein’s research. 14. What does the underlined word “inconceivable” in paragraph 6 mean? A. Unbelievable. B. Significant. C. Inspiring. D. Fascinating. 15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. The Mystery of Dark Matter Finally Solved. B. Data from ACT Challenges Law of Gravity. C.

But here’s the truth: ____16____ The reason they can’t decide not to use these apps for themselves is because they’re afraid of missing out on social opportunities, since so many young people maintain their friendships on these platforms. If parents all made the same decision not to let our kids use social media, we’d solve the problem for them. Even if only some parents restrict their kids’ use, it will be enough to force teens to find other ways of communicating. When I talk to parents and teachers about this, I like to start by telling them about a 2023 study in which college students were asked how much money researchers would have to pay them not to use social media accounts for a month. ____17____ Actually, the average amount they wanted was $50, and the median (中位数), $30, was even lower. Then the researchers asked the students how much they’d have to pay them to deactivate their accounts if their friends did the same thing. The answer is: ____18____ No audience member of mine has ever correctly guessed the result. In situations like this, our job as parents is to step in and help our kids. If parents all told our kids they’re not allowed to use social media until they’re 16 years old, none of them would face the dilemma (窘境) of losing social opportunities in the first place. Even if only a few of their friends don’t have social media, they won’t be pariahs (被遗弃的人). ____19____ Instead of seeing pictures of the parties to which they weren’t invited on social apps, they could text with their friends on flip (老式翻盖) phones to make plans — or call and chat. ____20____ Instead of following the polished versions of one another’s lives, they could get together in person and talk about how they’re really doing. A. Kids will probably worry about it. B. Our responsibility here is no different. C. Many teenagers recognize that social media is unhealthy. D. The students were willing to pay the researchers to make this happen. E. So talk to the parents of your kids’ friends and get them to do the same thing. F. My audience typically guesses that the students demanded tens of thousands of dollars. G. Chat groups with people kids know are a good alternative to conversations on social apps. 第三部分 语言知识运用(共三节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 On a cold winter morning, the Gatton Landfill west of Brisbane was already full of activity.

She held a basket with some winter roses and a few sprigs of holly (冬青). Dressed in thin clothes, she looked exhausted. “Would you like some flowers? They are just $ 3 for a bunch, and you can pick your own,” she asked me in a soft voice. I paused, gave her a polite smile and replied, “No, thank you”, and then walked straight into the supermarket. I wandered slowly around the supermarket, trying to find the items I needed to buy. However, my mind kept wandering back to the lonely elderly lady standing outdoors in the cold. I couldn’t stop picturing her tired face and fragile figure, nor could I help wondering about the difficulties she was facing. I had my own personal struggles in life and had to budget every expense carefully. I fully understood that $ 3 mattered a lot to me, and I knew it meant far more to this flower-selling lady. But when she asked me, my first thought wasn’t about money. Instead, it was simply that I didn’t have any cash on me. Actually, I had hardly carried cash for years and always paid by card. But deep in my heart, I believed this could never be an excuse. After picking up my goods, I went straight to join the queue at the checkout counter. While waiting in line, I saw several customers paying with cash and the cashier giving change patiently. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 A good idea occurred to me as I watched the scene. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I held out the three one-dollar bills and handed them to the elderly lady. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
