I believe dancing is in my nature, driven by my heartbeat, blood pulse, and the music in my mind. So I dance daily. The seldom-used dining room of my house has become my ballroom, with a hardwood floor, a stereo, and a disco ball. I have some music ready: waltz, swing, country, rock-and-roll, and tango (探戈舞曲). Each morning, I turn on the music, and it’s dance time! As a quiet woman, I dance alone, considering it a form of healthy movement and moving meditation.
Tango is my recent enthusiasm. It’s complex and difficult, so I take three lessons a week and go out to dance three nights a week. I’m even planning a three-month trip to Buenos Aires to immerse (沉浸) myself in tango culture.
The first time I went tango dancing, I was too intimidated to get on the floor. I remembered a similar experience at a village wedding on the Greek island of Crete, where I stayed on the sidelines because the fancy footwork confused me.
Moments later, an older woman, reading my mind, sat beside me and said, “If you join the dancing, you will feel foolish. If you do not, you will also feel foolish. So, why not dance?” She added that if I didn’t dance, they would know I was a fool, but if I tried, they would think well of me. Her words inspired me to take up the challenge of tango.
A friend viewed my passion for tango as an ambitious pursuit, saying, “Tango? At your age? You must be out of your mind!” But I see it as a deeply considered decision. My passion for tango hides my fear of aging and boredom. I seek the thrill of starting something new that challenges my mind, body, and spirit. My goal is to dance as long as I can and then age contentedly, knowing I’ve lived fully. So, when people question my tango at my age, I say, “No, I haven’t lost my mind. I’m just living.”
24. What does the underlined word “intimidated” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Bored. B. Excited. C. Frightened. D. Surprised.
25. Why did the older woman talk with the author?
A. To make fun of her. B. To encourage her to dance.
C. To teach her dancing skills. D. To discuss Greek wedding dance.
26. What does the author want to tell us in the last paragraph?
A. Tango lets her live life fully. B. Dancing makes her younger.
C. Aging should be faced actively. D. New challenges bring true happiness.
27. What can be the best title for the text?
A. My Journey to Buenos Aires. B. Dancing Beyond Age Limits.
C. Challenges of Learning Tango. D. Overcoming Fear Through Tango.
C
Gathering ingredients for my favorite sandwich takes time. Certainly more than 10 seconds — the time my fridge allows me to quietly search inside. After those 10 seconds, a series of ear-piercing beeps begin — an alarm to remind forgetful humans to close its doors. My suspicion is that the alarm, which cannot be neutralized, was designed to stop my late-night search in the fridge — my wife has long warned me that midnight snacking is bad for my waistline.
The frightened fridge is just one example of the creations by engineer-designers who are convinced that seniors like me can’t survive without beeping reminders. My car beeps constantly, particularly when I get out. There is simply no way to stop it. At first, I thought the car was just too sad to see me go.
It is not just the fridge and the car. Once I started paying attention, I realized our environment is filled with reminder noises. The stove (炉灶) sings too — leave a burner on and it performs its own little concert. As for my phone, even after turning off every notification I can find, calendar reminders still get through.
So I went online looking for a solution — and found a video of an equally frustrated man taking apart the beeper on the exact same fridge model. I can handle the fix. But now the question is: Do I really want to? What if I leave the fridge door partly open and ruin a costly roast? What if I miss the notification that reminds me of an appointment I may forget? The consequences of an unbeeped life may be too serious to risk.
Finally, tool in hand, I stand before the fridge. If there were a silence option, I might leave it alone. But there isn’t — and I’ve had enough. I’ll remove the noise-maker and put a sticky note on the door instead, reminding me to close it. The reward of a successful late-night search for a delicious sandwich is definitely worth it.
28. What does the underlined word “neutralized” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Used. B. Heard. C. Disabled. D. Repaired.
29. The stove and phone are mentioned to illustrate that ________.
A. elderly people have a failing memory
B. modern machines are poorly designed
C. technology changes seniors’ living habits
D. beeping alarms are unavoidable in daily life
30. What can be inferred about the author from paragraph 4?
A. He fails to find a way to stop the noise.
B. He considers the online video unhelpful.
C. He worries about life without reminders.
D. He is unable to fix the fridge by himself.
31. What does the author finally decide to do about the fridge?
A. Buy a much quieter fridge. B. Tolerate the disturbing noise.
C. Avoid late-night searches in it. D. Replace the alarm with a note.
D
What if you could meet most of your daily needs-shopping, work, education, healthcare-within a 15-minute walk or bike ride from your home? This is the exciting vision of the “15-minute city”, an urban planning concept that gained global attention years ago. However, putting it into practice has sparked unexpected and fierce opposition.
The concept was popularized by Mayor Anne Hidalgo of Paris and based on the research of French scholar Carlos Moreno. It suggests a move from city planning centered mainly on cars to one focused on “chronic-urbanism”. The goal is to return urban space to people, with more parks and streets for walking. Advocates argue that this model addresses multiple crises all at the same time: climate change, social isolation, and public health.
Despite its apparent benefits, opponents have misrepresented the idea online, framing it as a secret government plan to control people’s free movement. While these claims are baseless, they have gained support, influencing public opinion and making it harder for cities like Oxford and Melbourne to carry out the concept.
The real issue, however, goes deeper than misinformation. It points to a fundamental problem in urban innovation: the difficulty of imagining a life less dependent on the private car. For decades, the car has symbolized personal freedom and status. Any policy that seems to reduce car use, even if it aims to enhance overall quality of life, can make people feel emotionally upset. This reflects what transport experts call “car dependency”, a cultural and deep-rooted habit that is hard to break.
The situation mirrors past urban conflicts. For instance, many people opposed creating walking-only streets in city centers decades ago, but now, such areas are mostly loved and valued. The experts of a recent study on sustainable transition conclude that the battle for the 15-minute city is not just about planning; it’s about messaging. Success depends not only on smart design but also on effectively conveying its vision of a more sustainable and human urban future.
32. What can we learn about “chronic-urbanism” in paragraph 2?
A. It gives more space to people. B. It aims to expand road networks.
C. It focuses on car development. D. It was created by Carlos Moreno.
33. What do the opponents think of the 15-minute city?
A. Traffic-slowing. B. Money-wasting. C. Freedom-limiting. D. Tech-demanding.
34. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A. The challenge of a less car-centered life. B. The significance of private cars.
C. The public’s reactions to a new policy. D. The definition of car dependency.
35. What does the experts’ conclusion imply in the last paragraph?
A. Public opinions are too hard to change. B. Sustainable transition is the top priority.
C. Communication matters as much as design. D. Planning should send an innovative message.
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。
Socrates, Galileo, Marie Curie, Einstein ... What did these great thinkers have in common? They all practiced deliberate doubt and used it as a tool to improve their thinking and generate creative ideas.
____36____ It is about suspending our certainty and letting go of our preconceived (先入为主的) notions in order to explore new ideas and perspectives. When we’re certain of something, we tend to stop looking for alternative explanations or possibilities. ____37____ Doubt can, of course, be unsettling, but it can also result in a greater understanding of a subject and inspire fresh thoughts and insights.
____38____ But it doesn’t mean we should use it all the time. While deliberate doubt can be a valuable tool for generating creative ideas and exploring complex problems, it can also be counterproductive if it is not practiced in the right way.
It’s important to keep in mind that deliberate doubt is not constant doubt. If we’re continuously doubting our own ideas, we’ll be less likely to pursue them and see them through to completion. ____39____ We spend so much time doubting everything and end up not doing anything.
____40____ We can become self-critical and unsure of our abilities, which can undermine our self-esteem. As a result, we may be too afraid to try new things or take risks.
To avoid these traps, it’s important to strike a balance between doubt and certainty, and to use doubt as a tool to stimulate creative thinking and exploration, rather than as a means of undermining ourselves or others.
A. Deliberate doubt can also lead to a lack of confidence.
B. But when we doubt, we’re forced to consider other perspectives.
C. In this case, deliberate doubt can prevent us from making decisions.
D. When practiced all the time, deliberate doubt can lead to a different belief.
E. By turning doubt into a deliberate process, we open ourselves to new possibilities.
F. Deliberate doubt is the practice of actively questioning our beliefs and assumptions.
G. Deliberate doubt can help us to develop a more open-minded approach to the world.

When I was 24, I moved to America, 11,000 kilometers away from my homeland. This was ____41____, especially fitting into an unfamiliar environment.

My task was to slowly gain Luna’s ____47____ and help her adjust, which felt ____48____ to my efforts to adapt to this new place.
____49____ days turned into weeks, Luna and I developed a bond. The process of feeding her, speaking softly, and the ____50____ required to look after her made this little creature gradually open her heart to me. Her ____51____ encouraged me to step outside, make new friends, and become part of the community.
My time at the shelter provided a valuable insight into ____52____ in a new country. It is an inspiring experience of ____53____ gaps of language and culture and a journey of personal growth.

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Every day after school, Lucas and Noah pressed their noses against Mr. Henderson’s shop window. They stared at the red bicycle that stood proudly in the center of the display. For months, they had saved every spare coin, yet the price still seemed far beyond their reach.
When the first snow of winter covered their town, the brothers saw an opportunity. They grabbed their shovels (铲子), determined to turn the snowfall into savings through hard work.
They started in their own neighborhood. But many residents had already cleared their walkways, and those who hadn’t only offered a few coins for short paths. After several tiring hours, they had earned just seven dollars — far less than they hoped.
Refusing to give up, they headed to Maple Street, where the houses were bigger and the driveways deeper in snow. Noah knocked on the door of a beautiful Victorian house. Mrs. Williams answered, looking like she was in a hurry. When Noah asked if she needed her driveway shoveled, she agreed at once. She took a twenty-dollar bill from her purse and placed it into Noah’s hand.
“I have to rush out,” she said with an encouraging smile. “I’ll leave it in your capable hands.”
The boys stared at the bill, amazed. Twenty dollars — more than they had made the entire day! Laughing in disbelief, they set to work with fresh energy. The initial excitement carried them through the first hour of work. But as the afternoon darkened and the temperature dropped, the work became harder. Their hands grew numb (麻木), their muscles ached, and the long driveway seemed endless.
Halfway through, Lucas threw down his shovel in frustration (沮丧). “Let’s just go. She’ll never know we didn’t finish.”
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。
Noah’s aching hands seemed to agree with his brother’s words.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
As they cleared the final shovel of snow, Mrs. Williams’ car returned.

We were all wet but the concert still continued and nobody left. Later, the organizers offered some raincoats and umbrellas. My friend and I were able to share one umbrella.

I believe dancing is in my nature, driven by my heartbeat, blood pulse, and the music in my mind. So I dance daily. The seldom-used dining room of my house has become my ballroom, with a hardwood floor, a stereo, and a disco ball. I have some music ready: waltz, swing, country, rock-and-roll, and tango (探戈舞曲). Each morning, I turn on the music, and it’s dance time! As a quiet woman, I dance alone, considering it a form of healthy movement and moving meditation.
Tango is my recent enthusiasm. It’s complex and difficult, so I take three lessons a week and go out to dance three nights a week. I’m even planning a three-month trip to Buenos Aires to immerse (沉浸) myself in tango culture.
The first time I went tango dancing, I was too intimidated to get on the floor. I remembered a similar experience at a village wedding on the Greek island of Crete, where I stayed on the sidelines because the fancy footwork confused me.
Moments later, an older woman, reading my mind, sat beside me and said, “If you join the dancing, you will feel foolish. If you do not, you will also feel foolish. So, why not dance?” She added that if I didn’t dance, they would know I was a fool, but if I tried, they would think well of me. Her words inspired me to take up the challenge of tango.
A friend viewed my passion for tango as an ambitious pursuit, saying, “Tango? At your age? You must be out of your mind!” But I see it as a deeply considered decision. My passion for tango hides my fear of aging and boredom. I seek the thrill of starting something new that challenges my mind, body, and spirit. My goal is to dance as long as I can and then age contentedly, knowing I’ve lived fully. So, when people question my tango at my age, I say, “No, I haven’t lost my mind. I’m just living.”
24. What does the underlined word “intimidated” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Bored. B. Excited. C. Frightened. D. Surprised.
25. Why did the older woman talk with the author?
A. To make fun of her. B. To encourage her to dance.
C. To teach her dancing skills. D. To discuss Greek wedding dance.
26. What does the author want to tell us in the last paragraph?
A. Tango lets her live life fully. B. Dancing makes her younger.
C. Aging should be faced actively. D. New challenges bring true happiness.
27. What can be the best title for the text?
A. My Journey to Buenos Aires. B. Dancing Beyond Age Limits.
C. Challenges of Learning Tango. D. Overcoming Fear Through Tango.
【答案】24. C 25. B 26. A 27. B
【解析】
【导语】文章讲述作者热爱舞蹈、深耕探戈,克服内心胆怯,不惧年龄质疑,借探戈充实生活、活出自我的故事。
【24题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“The first time I went tango dancing, I was too intimidated to get on the floor.(我第一次去跳探戈舞时,太过intimidated而不敢上场)”可知,作者初次跳探戈不敢上场,内心是害怕、胆怯的。故猜测intimidated意为“害怕的、胆怯的”,和frightened同义。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“She added that if I didn’t dance, they would know I was a fool, but if I tried, they would think well of me. Her words inspired me to take up the challenge of tango.(她补充道,如果我不跳舞,大家会觉得我愚蠢,但如果我敢于尝试,大家就会认可我。她的话激励我接受探戈的挑战)”可知,年长女士和作者交谈,是为了鼓励作者勇敢跳舞。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“My passion for tango hides my fear of aging and boredom. I seek the thrill of starting something new that challenges my mind, body, and spirit. My goal is to dance as long as I can and then age contentedly, knowing I’ve lived fully.(我对探戈的热爱消解了我对衰老和乏味生活的恐惧。我追求开启全新事物的悸动,以此磨砺我的思想、身体和精神。我的目标是一直跳舞,而后坦然老去,深知自己活得充实鲜活)”可知,作者想告诉读者,探戈让她突破自我,充实圆满地生活。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“A friend viewed my passion for tango as an ambitious pursuit, saying, “Tango? At your age? You must be out of your mind!” But I see it as a deeply considered decision. My goal is to dance as long as I can and then age contentedly, knowing I’ve lived fully.(一位朋友认为我痴迷探戈是异想天开,说道:“探戈?一把年纪了?你一定是疯了!”但我认为这是深思熟虑的决定。我的目标是一直跳舞,而后坦然老去,深知自己活得充实鲜活)”以及全文内容可知,文章核心是作者不惧年龄束缚,坚持学习探戈、享受舞蹈、活出精彩。因此最佳标题是“突破年龄限制的舞蹈”。
C
Gathering ingredients for my favorite sandwich takes time. Certainly more than 10 seconds — the time my fridge allows me to quietly search inside. After those 10 seconds, a series of ear-piercing beeps begin — an alarm to remind forgetful humans to close its doors. My suspicion is that the alarm, which cannot be neutralized, was designed to stop my late-night search in the fridge — my wife has long warned me that midnight snacking is bad for my waistline.
The frightened fridge is just one example of the creations by engineer-designers who are convinced that seniors like me can’t survive without beeping reminders. My car beeps constantly, particularly when I get out. There is simply no way to stop it. At first, I thought the car was just too sad to see me go.
It is not just the fridge and the car. Once I started paying attention, I realized our environment is filled with reminder noises. The stove (炉灶) sings too — leave a burner on and it performs its own little concert. As for my phone, even after turning off every notification I can find, calendar reminders still get through.
So I went online looking for a solution — and found a video of an equally frustrated man taking apart the beeper on the exact same fridge model. I can handle the fix. But now the question is: Do I really want to? What if I leave the fridge door partly open and ruin a costly roast? What if I miss the notification that reminds me of an appointment I may forget? The consequences of an unbeeped life may be too serious to risk.
Finally, tool in hand, I stand before the fridge. If there were a silence option, I might leave it alone. But there isn’t — and I’ve had enough. I’ll remove the noise-maker and put a sticky note on the door instead, reminding me to close it. The reward of a successful late-night search for a delicious sandwich is definitely worth it.
28. What does the underlined word “neutralized” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Used. B. Heard. C. Disabled. D. Repaired.
29. The stove and phone are mentioned to illustrate that ________.
A. elderly people have a failing memory
B. modern machines are poorly designed
C. technology changes seniors’ living habits
D. beeping alarms are unavoidable in daily life
30. What can be inferred about the author from paragraph 4?
A. He fails to find a way to stop the noise.
B. He considers the online video unhelpful.
C. He worries about life without reminders.
D. He is unable to fix the fridge by himself.
31. What does the author finally decide to do about the fridge?
A. Buy a much quieter fridge. B. Tolerate the disturbing noise.
C. Avoid late-night searches in it. D. Replace the alarm with a note.
【答案】28. C 29. D 30. C 31. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲述了作者对生活中各种提醒噪音的困扰,并最终决定采取措施解决冰箱噪音问题的故事。
【28题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段中“After those 10 seconds, a series of ear-piercing beeps begin — an alarm to remind forgetful humans to close its doors. My suspicion is that the alarm, which cannot be neutralized, was designed to stop my late-night search in the fridge — my wife has long warned me that midnight snacking is bad for my waistline.(10秒后,一系列刺耳的嘟嘟声响起,提醒健忘的人关门。我怀疑这个无法neutralized的警报是为了阻止我深夜在冰箱里搜查——我妻子早就警告过我,午夜吃零食对我的腰围有害)”可知,提醒噪音在日常生活中无处不在,所以无法消除,可推测出neutralized意思是“使失效,关闭”,与C选项“Disabled(使失效)”意思相近。故选C。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“It is not just the fridge and the car. Once I started paying attention, I realized our environment is filled with reminder noises. The stove (炉灶) sings too — leave a burner on and it performs its own little concert. As for my phone, even after turning off every notification I can find, calendar reminders still get through.(不仅仅是冰箱和汽车。一旦我开始注意,我意识到我们的环境充满了提醒噪音。炉灶也会唱歌——留一个燃烧器开着,它就会演奏自己的小音乐会。至于我的手机,即使关掉了我能找到的每一个通知,日历提醒还是会传过来)”可推知,提到炉灶和手机是为了说明日常生活中哔哔的警报声是不可避免的。故选D。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“What if I leave the fridge door partly open and ruin a costly roast? What if I miss the notification that reminds me of an appointment I may forget? The consequences of an unbeeped life may be too serious to risk.(如果我把冰箱门半开着,毁掉了一份昂贵的烤肉怎么办?如果我错过了提醒我可能会忘记的约会的通知怎么办?没有提醒的生活后果可能太严重,不能冒险)”可推知,作者担心没有提醒会带来不良后果。故选C。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“I’ll remove the noise-maker and put a sticky note on the door instead, reminding me to close it.(我会把噪音制造者拿走,在门上贴一张便利贴,提醒我关上它)”可知,作者最终决定用便条代替警报。故选D。
D
What if you could meet most of your daily needs-shopping, work, education, healthcare-within a 15-minute walk or bike ride from your home? This is the exciting vision of the “15-minute city”, an urban planning concept that gained global attention years ago. However, putting it into practice has sparked unexpected and fierce opposition.
The concept was popularized by Mayor Anne Hidalgo of Paris and based on the research of French scholar Carlos Moreno. It suggests a move from city planning centered mainly on cars to one focused on “chronic-urbanism”. The goal is to return urban space to people, with more parks and streets for walking. Advocates argue that this model addresses multiple crises all at the same time: climate change, social isolation, and public health.
Despite its apparent benefits, opponents have misrepresented the idea online, framing it as a secret government plan to control people’s free movement. While these claims are baseless, they have gained support, influencing public opinion and making it harder for cities like Oxford and Melbourne to carry out the concept.
The real issue, however, goes deeper than misinformation. It points to a fundamental problem in urban innovation: the difficulty of imagining a life less dependent on the private car. For decades, the car has symbolized personal freedom and status. Any policy that seems to reduce car use, even if it aims to enhance overall quality of life, can make people feel emotionally upset. This reflects what transport experts call “car dependency”, a cultural and deep-rooted habit that is hard to break.
The situation mirrors past urban conflicts. For instance, many people opposed creating walking-only streets in city centers decades ago, but now, such areas are mostly loved and valued. The experts of a recent study on sustainable transition conclude that the battle for the 15-minute city is not just about planning; it’s about messaging. Success depends not only on smart design but also on effectively conveying its vision of a more sustainable and human urban future.
32. What can we learn about “chronic-urbanism” in paragraph 2?
A. It gives more space to people. B. It aims to expand road networks.
C. It focuses on car development. D. It was created by Carlos Moreno.
33. What do the opponents think of the 15-minute city?
A. Traffic-slowing. B. Money-wasting. C. Freedom-limiting. D. Tech-demanding.
34. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A. The challenge of a less car-centered life. B. The significance of private cars.
C. The public’s reactions to a new policy. D. The definition of car dependency.
35. What does the experts’ conclusion imply in the last paragraph?
A. Public opinions are too hard to change. B. Sustainable transition is the top priority.
C. Communication matters as much as design. D. Planning should send an innovative message.
【答案】32. A 33. C 34. A 35. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。“15分钟城市”理念旨在让日常需求步行或骑行可达、还空间于人,兼具多重益处,但遭不实反对,核心阻力是汽车依赖,其推行需兼顾设计与有效传递可持续人文城市愿景。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“It suggests a move from city planning centered mainly on cars to one focused on “chronic-urbanism”. The goal is to return urban space to people, with more parks and streets for walking.(它主张从主要以汽车为中心的城市规划转向以“慢性城市主义”为核心的规划模式。其目标是将城市空间还给市民,增加更多的公园和步行街道)”可知,“慢性城市主义”为人们提供了更多的空间。故选A。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Despite its apparent benefits, opponents have misrepresented the idea online, framing it as a secret government plan to control people’s free movement. While these claims are baseless, they have gained support, influencing public opinion and making it harder for cities like Oxford and Melbourne to carry out the concept.(尽管该计划有明显的好处,但反对者在网上歪曲了这一想法,将其描述为政府控制民众自由行动的秘密计划。尽管这些说法毫无根据,但它们却获得了支持,影响了公众舆论,使得像牛津和墨尔本这样的城市难以推行这一理念)”可知,反对者们认为“15 分钟城市”限制了自由。故选C。
【34题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“The real issue, however, goes deeper than misinformation. It points to a fundamental problem in urban innovation: the difficulty of imagining a life less dependent on the private car. For decades, the car has symbolized personal freedom and status. Any policy that seems to reduce car use, even if it aims to enhance overall quality of life, can make people feel emotionally upset. This reflects what transport experts call “car dependency”, a cultural and deep-rooted habit that is hard to break.(然而,真正的问题远不止是信息传播不准确这么简单。它揭示了城市创新中一个根本性的难题:难以想象一种不再过度依赖私家车的生活方式。数十年来,汽车一直象征着个人自由和地位。任何看似减少汽车使用量的政策,即便其目的是提升整体生活质量,也会让人们产生情绪上的不适。这反映了交通专家所说的“对汽车的依赖”,这是一种根深蒂固的文化习惯,很难改变)”可知,本段主要讲了一种少依赖汽车的生活方式所带来的挑战。故选A。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The experts of a recent study on sustainable transition conclude that the battle for the 15-minute city is not just about planning; it’s about messaging. Success depends not only on smart design but also on effectively conveying its vision of a more sustainable and human urban future.(最近一项关于可持续转型的研究专家得出结论:这场关于打造“15分钟城市”的竞争不仅关乎规划,还关乎宣传策略。成功的关键不仅在于巧妙的设计,还在于有效地传达其对于更可持续、更人性化城市未来的愿景)”可知,最后一段专家们的结论意味着交流与设计同样重要。故选C。
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。
Socrates, Galileo, Marie Curie, Einstein ... What did these great thinkers have in common? They all practiced deliberate doubt and used it as a tool to improve their thinking and generate creative ideas.
____36____ It is about suspending our certainty and letting go of our preconceived (先入为主的) notions in order to explore new ideas and perspectives. When we’re certain of something, we tend to stop looking for alternative explanations or possibilities. ____37____ Doubt can, of course, be unsettling, but it can also result in a greater understanding of a subject and inspire fresh thoughts and insights.
____38____ But it doesn’t mean we should use it all the time. While deliberate doubt can be a valuable tool for generating creative ideas and exploring complex problems, it can also be counterproductive if it is not practiced in the right way.
It’s important to keep in mind that deliberate doubt is not constant doubt. If we’re continuously doubting our own ideas, we’ll be less likely to pursue them and see them through to completion. ____39____ We spend so much time doubting everything and end up not doing anything.
____40____ We can become self-critical and unsure of our abilities, which can undermine our self-esteem. As a result, we may be too afraid to try new things or take risks.
To avoid these traps, it’s important to strike a balance between doubt and certainty, and to use doubt as a tool to stimulate creative thinking and exploration, rather than as a means of undermining ourselves or others.
A. Deliberate doubt can also lead to a lack of confidence.
B. But when we doubt, we’re forced to consider other perspectives.
C. In this case, deliberate doubt can prevent us from making decisions.
D. When practiced all the time, deliberate doubt can lead to a different belief.
E. By turning doubt into a deliberate process, we open ourselves to new possibilities.
F. Deliberate doubt is the practice of actively questioning our beliefs and assumptions.
G. Deliberate doubt can help us to develop a more open-minded approach to the world.

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,文章介绍了“中国购”热潮,通过从“世界工厂”向“生活方式创新者”的转变,中国正在改写全球的观念。
【56题详解】
考查形容词。句意:外国游客正在打包中国生活用品,从传统的茶杯和汉服到时尚的中国设计玩具。空处修饰名词短语tea cups and Hanfu,应填形容词traditional“传统的”作定语,故填traditional。
【57题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:这种转变表明,游客现在寻求能够真正将自己与当地生活方式联系起来的体验。空处引导定语从句,先行词是experiences,关系词在从句中作主语,应用关系代词that或which引导,故填that/which。
【58题详解】
考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:例如,自2025年4月起,最低退税门槛已从500元降至200元,鼓励更多的消费。主语“the minimum tax refund threshold”和动词lower之间是被动关系,结合“since April, 2025”可知此处使用现在完成时的被动语态,主语表示单数意义,助动词使用has,故填has been lowered。
【59题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:外国游客的购物车里越来越多地塞满了具有中国美学特色的产品,比如丝绸产品和传统的中国服装。句中已有谓语动词,空处应用非谓语动词作后置定语,修饰名词products,feature和products之间是主动关系,使用现在分词作定语,故填featuring。
【60题详解】
考查连词。句意:外国游客寻找的不仅是日常用品,还有真实的、融入生活方式的文化物品。句中考查固定搭配not only…but (also)…“不但……而且……”,故填but。
【61题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:在“中国购”热潮的背后,是文化认同感的逐渐提升。句子是描述一个事实,使用一般现在时,本句是倒装句,主语a gradual rise in cultural identity表示单数意义,谓语动词使用三单形式,故填lies。
【62题详解】
考查名词。句意:通过购物和旅游,外国游客可以近距离地了解中国文化。空处作宾语,前面有形容词修饰,应填名词形式,expose的名词为exposure“接触,了解”,此处为不可数名词,故填exposure。
【63题详解】
考查让步状语从句。句意:虽然“中国购”标志着文化吸引力的一个里程碑,但建立强大的根深蒂固的身份仍需要时间。结合句意可知,此处是让步关系,使用though或although或while引导让步状语从句,句首单词首字母大写,故填Though/Although/While。
【64题详解】
考查介词。句意:通过从“世界工厂”向“生活方式创新者”的转变,中国正在改写全球的观念。from…to…“从……到……”,固定短语,故填from。
【65题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:每一辆装满中国商品的购物车都是一座桥梁,承载着一个充满活力、包容的文明故事,走向一个联系更加紧密的世界。句中已有谓语动词is,空处需填非谓语动词作后置定语,修饰名词Every shopping cart,fill与逻辑主语Every shopping cart之间为被动关系,所以用过去分词形式,故填filled。

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Every day after school, Lucas and Noah pressed their noses against Mr. Henderson’s shop window. They stared at the red bicycle that stood proudly in the center of the display. For months, they had saved every spare coin, yet the price still seemed far beyond their reach.
When the first snow of winter covered their town, the brothers saw an opportunity. They grabbed their shovels (铲子), determined to turn the snowfall into savings through hard work.
They started in their own neighborhood. But many residents had already cleared their walkways, and those who hadn’t only offered a few coins for short paths. After several tiring hours, they had earned just seven dollars — far less than they hoped.
Refusing to give up, they headed to Maple Street, where the houses were bigger and the driveways deeper in snow. Noah knocked on the door of a beautiful Victorian house. Mrs. Williams answered, looking like she was in a hurry. When Noah asked if she needed her driveway shoveled, she agreed at once. She took a twenty-dollar bill from her purse and placed it into Noah’s hand.
“I have to rush out,” she said with an encouraging smile. “I’ll leave it in your capable hands.”
The boys stared at the bill, amazed. Twenty dollars — more than they had made the entire day! Laughing in disbelief, they set to work with fresh energy. The initial excitement carried them through the first hour of work. But as the afternoon darkened and the temperature dropped, the work became harder. Their hands grew numb (麻木), their muscles ached, and the long driveway seemed endless.
Halfway through, Lucas threw down his shovel in frustration (沮丧). “Let’s just go. She’ll never know we didn’t finish.”
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。
Noah’s aching hands seemed to agree with his brother’s words.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
As they cleared the final shovel of snow, Mrs. Williams’ car returned.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文(162词)
Noah’s aching hands seemed to agree with his brother’s words. For a moment, he stood frozen, torn between exhaustion and responsibility. Walking away meant warmth and rest, yet Mrs. Williams’ trusting smile appeared in his mind, reminding him of the confidence she had placed in them. He held the shovel tightly, bent down, and continued clearing the snow. Lucas watched him quietly and soon joined him without hesitation. Side by side, they worked through the bitter cold. In the fading light, the driveway slowly took shape under their steady effort.
As they cleared the final shovel of snow, Mrs. Williams’ car returned. She looked at the perfectly shoveled driveway with pleasant surprise and expressed genuine appreciation, saying that she had known they would keep their promise. A quiet warmth spread inside the boys. On the way home, Noah touched the twenty-dollar bill in his pocket. Their dream of the red bicycle felt a little closer, yet he realized that what they earned that day was far more valuable than money. The lesson about honesty would stay with them long after the snow melted.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了Lucas和Noah为买心仪的自行车,下雪天铲雪赚钱,最终坚守诚信完成工作并领悟道理的故事。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“Noah酸痛的双手似乎也在赞同哥哥的话。”以及第二段首句内容“当他们铲完最后一铲雪时,Williams夫人的车回来了。”可知,第一段可描写思虑之后,兄弟俩还是决定遵守承诺。
②由第二段首句内容“当他们铲完最后一铲雪时,Williams夫人的车回来了。”可知,第二段可描写Williams夫人非常感谢他们,而他们也明白了诚实的重要性。
2.续写线索:Noah也赞同哥哥的话,但是,他突然想起Williams夫人的信任——于是他决定继续清理积雪,而Lucas静静看着他,也加入他一起清理积雪——慢慢地,车道开始露出原貌——Williams夫人也回来了——她看着干干净净的车道,非常感动,她感谢了俩人的信守承诺——兄弟俩也明白了诚实的重要性
3.词汇激活
行为类
①握住:hold/grasp
②成型:take shape/come into being
③信守他们的承诺:keep their promise/keep their word/stick to their promise
情绪类
