This mode of travel, cycling, allows for a close exploration of diverse landscapes. It is defined by its independence and a pace that is ideal for deep cultural and geographical appreciation. The following typical routes illustrate the varied appeal of such undertakings, each presenting a distinct set of physical demands and cultural rewards. DANUBE CYCLE PATH Crossing the river from its German source to its mouth in Romania constitutes an awe-inspiring 1,800-mile journey. However, its picturesque Austrian section offers a highly scenic alternative. Starting just across the German border in Passau, cyclists can conclude their journey in Slovakia, with Bratislava readily accessible from Vienna by train. C2C(Sea-to-Sea) ROUTE Modeled on the trans-England principle of Hadrian’s Wall, this route negotiates the rough landform of the Lake District and North Pennines. Participants often observe the tradition of engaging their back wheel in the Irish Sea at the outset, and their front wheel in the North Sea upon reaching the edge of Newcastle. CANAL DU MIDI This global cultural treasure in France was designed with boats not bikes in mind, but its tree-lined canal paths make for a very civilized cycle. Exodus Travels’ tour also takes in the historic walled town of Carcassonne from the Middle Ages and a chance to wash off the dust of the road on a pretty beach. CROSS CAPE This leg-testing journey crosses the southern tip of the African continent. Departing from Plettenberg Bay, the route progresses through the unique fynbos ecosystem, passes historic towns, and eventually reaches Stellenbosch, the heart of the Cape Winelands.

At 24, she established Meet Cute, an entertainment company specializing in short-form audio romantic comedies. It has produced some 250 titles and reached 8.6 million downloads across streaming services. From day one, Meet Cute’s mission was “to build stories at the speed of culture,” Shah says. “If something is trending on socials, we’re able to incorporate it into a story.” Moving quickly and meeting audiences “where they’re at,” Shah says, enables Meet Cute to be “part of the conversation.” Growing up in Portland, Ore., Shah loved creative writing but was identified as a “STEMkid.” She majored in mechanical engineering. Wanting something more creative and founder-facing, she joined the investment team at Union Square Ventures. Her employer wanted better odds, but the team couldn’t find an entrepreneur (创业者) with a convincing proposal. So Shah wrote one herself, drawing up the blueprints for such a company. Later, Union Square contributed the first of $9.3 million in backing. While Shah is a rom-com fan, she envisions Meet Cute’s appeal lying not in specific genre (体裁) conventions, but in general feel-good, nonprescriptive escapism.“Rom-coms stand for hope, human connection and love,” says Shah. But why this approach — brief, audible, and upbeat? According to Shah, Meet Cute “brings entertainment into day-to-day tasks and pockets of time” when you can’t dedicate hours to a screen. Plus, without concrete visuals, listeners’ imaginations run wild. “Every single person is in the director’s seat,” she says. Earlier this year, the company was acquired by Fox Entertainment, where Shah now serves as senior vice president of strategy and operations. Meet Cute can now tap the wealth of Fox-owned stories and convert them to audio, and it has multiple global platforms on which to distribute its stories. “It’s not over,” Shah says. “That is something that I’m very proud of: I’ve built something that’s going to keep going.” 4. What kind of content does Meet Cute seek to produce? A. Long and weighty. B. Classic and formal. C. Accurate and select. D. Timely and relatable. 5. Which of the following best describes Shah’s career path? A. A preset track. B. A tough climb. C. A cross-field leap. D. A comfort-zone choice. 6. What does Shah highlight as a desirable feature of Meet Cute? A. It fits into small time windows. B. It sticks to rom-com conventions. C. It supports independent directors. D. It provides step-by-step instructions. 7. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Rise of Audio Storytelling B. Mixing Business with Pleasure C. A STEM Kid’s Literary Journey D. Why We Love Romantic Comedies 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍Naomi Shah创立Meet Cute公司制作短篇音频浪漫喜剧的历程、公司定位、内容特色及后续发展。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“From day one, Meet Cute’s mission was “to build stories at the speed of culture,” Shah says. “If something is trending on socials, we’re able to incorporate it into a story.” Moving quickly and meeting audiences ‘where they’re at,’ Shah says, enables Meet Cute to be ‘part of the conversation.’(沙阿说，从一开始，Meet Cute的使命就是“以文化的速度创作故事”。“如果某件事在社交媒体上流行，我们就能把它融入到故事中。”沙阿说，快速行动并“在观众所在的地方”接触他们，使Meet Cute能够“参与到对话中”)”可知，Meet Cute追求创作及时且贴近观众、能引发共鸣的内容。故选D项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Growing up in Portland, Ore., Shah loved creative writing but was identified as a “STEM kid.” She majored in mechanical engineering. Wanting something more creative and founder-facing, she joined the investment team at Union Square Ventures. Her employer wanted better odds, but the team couldn’t find an entrepreneur (创业者) with a convincing proposal. So Shah wrote one herself, drawing up the blueprints for such a company.（沙阿在俄勒冈州波特兰市长大，热爱创意写作，但被认为是一个“STEM kid”。她主修机械工程。由于想要更具创造性、更面向创始人的工作，她加入了联合广场风投的投资团队。她的雇主希望有更好的机会，但团队找不到一个有令人信服的提案的创业者。于是沙阿自己写了一份，为这样一家公司制定了蓝图)”可推断，沙阿从机械工程专业，到投资行业，再到创立娱乐公司，其职业道路是跨领域的飞跃。故选C项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“But why this approach — brief, audible, and upbeat? According to Shah, Meet Cute “brings entertainment into day-to-day tasks and pockets of time” when you can’t dedicate hours to a screen.(但为什么要采用这种简短、可听、积极向上的方式呢？沙阿表示，当你无法花几个小时看屏幕时，Meet Cute会“将娱乐融入日常任务和零散时间中”)”可知，沙阿强调Meet Cute一个受欢迎的特点是它适合碎片化的时间。故选A项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“At 24, she established Meet Cute, an entertainment company specializing in short-form audio romantic comedies.(24岁时，她创立了 Meet Cute，一家专注于短篇音频浪漫喜剧的娱乐公司)”，第三段中“Shah loved creative writing(沙阿热爱创意写作)”，第三段中“Later, Union Square contributed the first of $9.3 million in backing.(之后，联合广场风投提供了930万美元首轮投资)” 以及倒数第二段中“the company was acquired by Fox Entertainment(公司被福克斯娱乐收购)” 等内容可知，文章核心讲述沙阿将自己热爱的创意写作、浪漫喜剧这一“乐趣”，与创立公司、商业运营这一“事业”深度融合，最终实现商业成功的故事。B选项“Mixing Business with Pleasure(将事业与乐趣相融)”精准概括了沙阿把个人兴趣转化为商业事业，实现兴趣与商业结合的文章主旨，适合作本文标题。故选 B项。 C Beneath the Pacific lies the Clarion-Clipperton Zone (CCZ), where tens of billions of polymetallic nodules (多金属结核) are packed with cobalt (钴). Seabed-mining companies promote them as “a battery in a rock” and “the easiest way to solve climate change.” They claim that those nodules can provide metals for 4.8 billion electric vehicles. Yet this promise threatens a biological treasure. Marine (海洋的) biologists reveal the CCZ shelters over 5,000 unique species in the darkness. The extensive mining of cobalt may lead to the loss of biodiversity. A company claimed to have found a solution to minimize the damage to the ecology and has already trialed a 25-ton collector robot designed to harvest these nodules. However, a 2023 study shows it can cause permanent destruction in the area. Commercial mining is not yet permitted in international waters. The International Seabed Authority (ISA) is still determining how, and under what conditions, mining should be allowed. After 28 years of debate, its 168 member states still lack formal agreement. While companies advocate using nodule-collecting robots, 437 scientists from 44 countries demand an immediate stop.ISA studies confirm that just 10% mining of the CCZ may wipe out 50% of its species. Nor is it certain that cobalt mining will even be all that important in car-battery technology. Many battery companies are trying to recycle cobalt from spent batteries. In March, several major European carmakers jointly stated that they would not buy any metals produced from deep-sea mining before the environmental risks are “completely understood”. Meanwhile, several Chinese electric vehicle producers have already made the switch, recycling up to 95% of metals from used batteries. “Why rush to mine the ocean for metals becoming outdated?” said battery expert Gavin Harper. On June 8, 21 marine scientists from 8 universities finished a six-week research in the CCZ and packed up seafloor samples to take back to their labs for further analysis. “An assessment of the mining’s impact will take years of research,” says Andrew from Edinburgh. “I’m trying to get the best environmental data. And then it’s up to society to make the decision to go ahead.” 8. Why are the nodules called “a battery in a rock”? A. They contain valuable metals. B. They have recharging qualities. C. They own battery-like structures. D. They generate renewable power. 9. What can be inferred about the ISA? A. It prioritizes economic interests. B. It is guarded about seabed mining. C. It opposes commercial operations. D. It requires more technical support. 10. What does the author want to illustrate in Paragraph 4? A. Deep-sea mining meets demands. B. Carmakers reuse battery materials. C. Battery recycling needs promoting. D. Seabed mining for cobalt can wait. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Marine Mining, a Green Solution B. Cobalt, the Future of Batteries C. Ocean Metals, an Ocean Risk? D. CCZ, the Treasure Unknown? 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了海底多金属结核开采的利弊及争议。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Beneath the Pacific lies the Clarion-Clipperton Zone (CCZ), where tens of billions of polymetallic nodules (多金属结核) are packed with cobalt (钴). Seabed-mining companies promote them as “a battery in a rock” and “the easiest way to solve climate change.” They claim that those nodules can provide metals for 4.8 billion electric vehicles.(太平洋底部坐落着克拉里昂-克利珀顿断裂带，那里蕴藏着数百亿颗富含钴的多金属结核。海底采矿公司将它们宣传为“岩石中的电池”和“解决气候变化的最简单方法”。他们声称，这些结核可以为48亿辆电动汽车提供金属。)”可知，这些结核被称为“岩石中的电池”是因为它们含有有价值的金属。故选A。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“The International Seabed Authority (ISA) is still determining how, and under what conditions, mining should be allowed. After 28 years of debate, its 168 member states still lack formal agreement.(国际海底管理局（ISA）仍在确定如何以及在什么条件下允许采矿。经过28年的辩论，其168个成员国仍未达成正式协议。)”可知，关于采矿，ISA仍未达成正式协议，由此可推断，它对海底采矿持谨慎态度。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Nor is it certain that cobalt mining will even be all that important in car-battery technology. Many battery companies are trying to recycle cobalt from spent batteries. In March, several major European carmakers jointly stated that they would not buy any metals produced from deep-sea mining before the environmental risks are “completely understood”. Meanwhile, several Chinese electric vehicle producers have already made the switch, recycling up to 95% of metals from used batteries. (钴开采在汽车电池技术中是否真的那么重要也不确定。许多电池公司正试图从废旧电池中回收钴。今年3月，几家欧洲主要汽车制造商联合声明，在“完全了解”环境风险之前，他们不会购买任何深海采矿生产的金属。与此同时，几家中国电动汽车生产商已经做出了改变，从废旧电池中回收了高达95%的金属。)”可知，作者想在第四段说明的是深海钴开采可以等待。故选D。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段中“Beneath the Pacific lies the Clarion-Clipperton Zone (CCZ), where tens of billions of polymetallic nodules (多金属结核) are packed with cobalt (钴). (太平洋底部坐落着克拉里昂-克利珀顿断裂带，那里蕴藏着数百亿颗富含钴的多金属结核。)”以及第二段中“Yet this promise threatens a biological treasure. Marine (海洋的) biologists reveal the CCZ shelters over 5,000 unique species in the darkness. The extensive mining of cobalt may lead to the loss of biodiversity.(然而，这一承诺威胁着生物宝藏。海洋生物学家揭示，CCZ在黑暗中庇护着5000多种独特的物种。钴的广泛开采可能导致生物多样性的丧失。)”以及最后一段中““An assessment of the mining’s impact will take years of research,” says Andrew from Edinburgh. “I’m trying to get the best environmental data. And then it’s up to society to make the decision to go ahead.”(“评估采矿的影响需要多年的研究，”爱丁堡的安德鲁说。“我正在努力获取最好的环境数据。然后由社会来决定是否继续进行。”)”可知，文章主要讨论了多金属结核开采的利弊及争议，由此可知，C选项“Ocean Metals, an Ocean Risk?(海洋金属，海洋风险？)”最符合文章主旨。故选C。 D A recent robot sports competition showed humanoid robots running, falling, getting up, and continuing to the finish line. This event reflects the current state of AI and has raised public awareness. At the same time, rising AI stock (股票) prices show that investors are optimistic about its future. In China, using AI in work and daily life has become a national goal. Last month, the State Council released a plan for the “AI+” initiative. This plan aims to bring AI into all industries over 10 years, in three stages, to build new smart economic and social systems. A survey shows that 53.1% of people are excited about AI, 26% are pleasantly surprised, and 11% feel negative. This optimism comes from the belief that AI will change life just like mobile internet did. This is similar to the success of China’s “Internet+” plan over the past ten years, which helped improve industries and people’s lives. However, AI also brings worries. Some fear that AI “silicon (硅)-based workers” might take human jobs, and that relying too much on AI could weaken human thinking skills. Research from MIT found that people who use AI a lot have weaker brain connections. Other current problems include “black boxes” (when AI gives unpredictable results because it learns from data) and “model hallucinations” (when AI gives wrong answers based on untested data). Although some people are worried, this will not stop AI from moving forward. As an important area in global competition, AI’s development is certain. The “AI+” plan also focuses on safety and includes rules to prevent misuse. Like other major new technologies in the past, AI will need time to improve. Experts say today’s problems will help the industry become more careful and lead to important breakthroughs in the future. 12. What is the main goal of China’s “AI+” initiative mentioned in the text? A. To reduce the price of AI stocks. B. To combine AI with all industries. C. To stop people from using AI in daily life. D. To make AI robots win all sports competitions. 13. Why are many people optimistic about AI? A. Because they think AI will change life. B. Because AI will replace all human jobs. C. Because AI can solve all health problems. D. Because AI robots are faster than humans. 14. What does the underlined phrase “model hallucinations” mean? A. AI robots making errors during tasks. B. Weaker brain connections in AI users. C. AI mistakes caused by unproven data. D. Unpredictable results from AI learning from data. 15. What is the author’s attitude toward AI’s future? A. Totally indifferent, ignoring AI. B. Fully negative, fearing job losses. C. Deeply doubtful, questioning AI’s value. D. Cautiously hopeful, balancing risks and progress. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了中国“AI+”计划的目标、公众对AI的态度、AI带来的问题及发展前景。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。 根据第二段中“Last month, the State Council released a plan for the “AI+” initiative. This plan aims to bring AI into all industries over 10 years, in three stages, to build new smart economic and social systems.(上个月，国务院发布了“AI+”倡议计划。该计划旨在在10年内分三个阶段将人工智能引入所有行业，构建新的智能经济和社会体系)”可知，中国“AI+”倡议的主要目标是将人工智能与所有行业相结合。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“This optimism comes from the belief that AI will change life just like mobile internet did.(这种乐观源于人们相信人工智能会像移动互联网一样改变生活)”可知，很多人对人工智能持乐观态度是因为他们认为人工智能会改变生活。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中“Research from MIT found that people who use AI a lot have weaker brain connections. Other current problems include “black boxes” (when AI gives unpredictable results because it learns from data) and “model hallucinations” (when AI gives wrong answers based on untested data).(目前的其他问题包括“黑箱”（当人工智能从数据中学习时给出不可预测的结果）和“model hallucinations”（当人工智能基于未经测试的数据给出错误答案时）)”可知，“model hallucinations”指的是人工智能因未经证实的数据而犯的错误。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。 根据最后一段中“Although some people are worried, this will not stop AI from moving forward. As an important area in global competition, AI’s development is certain. The “AI+” plan also focuses on safety and includes rules to prevent misuse. Like other major new technologies in the past, AI will need time to improve. Experts say today’s problems will help the industry become more careful and lead to important breakthroughs in the future.(尽管有些人担心，但这不会阻止人工智能向前发展。作为全球竞争的重要领域，人工智能的发展是确定的。“AI+”计划还注重安全，并包括防止滥用的规则。像过去的其他重大新技术一样，人工智能需要时间来改进。专家表示，今天的问题将有助于该行业更加谨慎，并在未来取得重要突破)”可知，作者对人工智能的未来持谨慎乐观的态度，平衡了风险和进步。 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。 In everyday communication, we exchange not only logical information but also emotions, attitudes and inner states. Since human beings are emotional creatures, our decisions, whether significant or trivial, are often driven more by emotions than by pure reason. Therefore, to express strong emotions clearly, we tend to use words like very, so and truly in daily language. ____16____ Verbal intensifiers (强化词) are special function words that enhance the meaning, especially the emotional meaning of the words they are attached to. ____17____ According to Buzarov (1998), intensification is a stable and vital feature of informal language. Words such as awfully, deeply, tremendously, and truly help speakers strengthen emotional impact and influence listeners’ psychological perception. ____18____ In English, we often say “I am deeply grateful” or “He is dead tired.” Other languages also have similar words: очень in Russian, sehr in German, très in French. Some new intensifiers are even created by combining words, like fantabulous from fantastic and fabulous. To make the most of intensifiers, we should use them with a clear purpose. Do not use them mindlessly. ____19____ Connect them with your genuine attitude and focus on conveying precise emotions. This way, appropriate use of intensifiers will make our words more powerful and sincere. Intensifiers, like any other linguistic tool, work best in the right context. ____20____ However, overusing them without necessity will only weaken their expressive effect and make our words sound empty. Mastering them wisely helps us become more proficient and persuasive communicators. A. Proper use is a smart linguistic choice. B. These function words have great expressive value. C. You’d better use them to express real ideas and emotions. D. Using intensifiers at will influences emotional expression. E. Intensifiers are used to simplify the meaning of other words. F. This is why verbal intensifiers have emerged in languages worldwide. G. They are commonly employed across languages and take on diverse forms. 【答案】16. F 17. B 18. G 19. C 20. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍语言中强化词的定义、特点、在不同语言中的应用及合理使用强化词的建议。 【16题详解】 根据上文“In everyday communication, we exchange not only logical information but also emotions, attitudes and inner states. Since human beings are emotional creatures, our decisions, whether significant or trivial, are often driven more by emotions than by pure reason. Therefore, to express strong emotions clearly, we tend to use words like very, so and truly in daily language.(在日常交流中，我们不仅交换逻辑信息，还交换情感、态度和内心状态。由于人类是情感动物，我们的决定，无论重大还是琐碎，往往更多地由情感驱动，而不是纯粹的理性。因此，为了清晰地表达强烈的情感，我们在日常语言中倾向于使用very、so和truly等词)”可知，此处应衔接上文“为表达强烈情感使用相关词汇”，引出强化词的出现，F选项“This is why verbal intensifiers have emerged in languages worldwide.(这就是为什么世界各地的语言中会出现口头强化词的原因)”中的This指代上文“为表达强烈情感使用相关词汇”这一现象，引出下文对强化词的介绍，符合语境。故选F项。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Verbal intensifiers (强化词) are special function words that enhance the meaning, especially the emotional meaning of the words they are attached to.(口头强化词是一种特殊的功能词，它们能增强所附着词汇的意义，尤其是情感意义)”以及下文“According to Buzarov (1998), intensification is a stable and vital feature of informal language. Words such as awfully, deeply, tremendously, and truly help speakers strengthen emotional impact and influence listeners’ psychological perception.(根据Buzarov（1998）的观点，强化是非正式语言的一个稳定且重要的特征。awfully、deeply、tremendously和truly等词帮助说话者增强情感影响力，并影响听众的心理感知)”可知，此处应体现强化词的价值，B选项“These function words have great expressive value.(这些功能词具有很强的表达价值)”中的These function words指代上文的Verbal intensifiers，expressive value与下文strengthen emotional impact and influence listeners’ psychological perception相呼应，符合语境。故选B项。 【18题详解】 根据下文“In English, we often say “I am deeply grateful” or “He is dead tired.” Other languages also have similar words: очень in Russian, sehr in German, très in French. Some new intensifiers are even created by combining words, like fantabulous from fantastic and fabulous.(在英语中，我们经常说“我非常感激”或“他极度疲惫”。其他语言也有类似的词：俄语中的очень，德语中的sehr，法语中的très。一些新的强化词甚至是通过组合单词创造出来的，比如fantastic和fabulous组合成的fantabulous)”可知，此处应总述强化词在不同语言中的使用及形式，G选项“They are commonly employed across languages and take on diverse forms.(它们在不同语言中被广泛使用，并呈现出多种形式)”中的They指代强化词，across languages与下文不同语言的例子相呼应，diverse forms与下文“组合创造新强化词”相呼应，符合语境。故选G项。 【19题详解】 根据上文“To make the most of intensifiers, we should use them with a clear purpose. Do not use them mindlessly.(为了充分利用强化词，我们应该有明确的目的使用它们。不要盲目地使用它们。)”以及下文“Connect them with your genuine attitude and focus on conveying precise emotions.(将它们与你真诚的态度结合起来，专注于传达准确的情感)”可知，此处应体现使用强化词的正确方式，C选项“You’d better use them to express real ideas and emotions.(你最好用它们来表达真实的想法和情感)”中的real ideas and emotions与下文genuine attitude、precise emotions相呼应，承接上文“不要盲目使用”，给出具体建议，符合语境。故选C项。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Intensifiers, like any other linguistic tool, work best in the right context.(强化词和其他语言工具一样，在合适的语境中效果最好)”以及下文“However, overusing them without necessity will only weaken their expressive effect and make our words sound empty.(然而，不必要地过度使用它们只会削弱它们的表达效果，使我们的话语听起来空洞)”可知，此处应体现合理使用强化词的重要性，A选项“Proper use is a smart linguistic choice.(合理使用是一种明智的语言选择)”承接上文“合适语境效果最好”，与下文“过度使用的弊端”形成对比，符合语境。故选A项。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 When I was six years old, my entire body went up in flames.

She read market reports on the subway, ate salad at her desk, and even practised her presentation while brushing her hair. Her small apartment, a thousand miles from home, witnessed all her efforts: notes, charts and presentation drafts covered the living-room table. “Amy, you’re on fire!” her manager laughed one Monday. The words kept Amy smiling all afternoon. Then a company e-mail arrived: Amy, congratulations! You are this year’s Outstanding New Employee. Please give an eight-minute speech at the company’s annual meeting on Sunday morning. Amy’s heart jumped. She read the message again and again. That night she sat at her desk and wrote about the coffee that grew cold, the code that finally worked at 2 a.m., and the pride she felt when her first project helped the team win a new client. Yet, from time to time, a faint guilt brushed her heart. She remembered her mother’s soft voice in their last video call: “Don’t work too hard, sweetheart. You’re already great. Come home for a rest.” Each time Amy whispered to herself, “Next month, Mum — on your birthday.” She spent the next evenings perfecting every word and gesture. On Saturday evening she felt ready. Then the phone rang. It was Dad. “Amy, tomorrow’s your mum’s fiftieth birthday. We’re planning a simple lunch. When are you coming home?” Mum’s birthday! How could I forget? Shame washed over Amy. She opened her mouth, but no words came out. The meeting, the carefully prepared speech and her colleagues’ proud smiles all suddenly felt heavy in her chest. “Dad, the company’s annual meeting is also tomorrow... I was supposed to give a speech as the Outstanding New Employee...” Her voice was tight with conflict. “Oh, congratulations, sweetie. I understand — it’s a big day. Your mum will be so proud...” Amy remained frozen for a moment, not knowing how the call ended. Then her eye fell on her family photo on the desk, with her parents on either side. 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。 Seeing the happy smiles on their faces, she knew what she had to do. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With a light heart, Amy booked the earliest flight home. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Seeing the happy smiles on their faces, she knew what she had to do. She picked up the phone and called her manager, explaining the situation with a sincere tone. To her surprise, her manager praised her decision and assured her the speech could be rescheduled. After hanging up, she tidied up her desk, putting away the speech drafts and replacing them with the family photo. The heavy feeling in her chest faded, replaced by a warm longing to see her parents. With a light heart, Amy booked the earliest flight home. She packed a small suitcase, slipping in the hand-knit scarf she’d made for her mother. Early the next morning, she rushed to the airport, her mind filled with thoughts of her mother’s surprised face. When she arrived home, her mother hugged her tightly, tears of joy in her eyes. The simple lunch was filled with laughter, and Amy realized that no award or speech could compare to the warmth of family. That fiftieth birthday became the most unforgettable day for both Amy and her mother. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了入职SunRay Tech第一年，艾米工作勤恳，获评杰出新员工，需在公司年会发表获奖演讲。不料年会与母亲50岁生日撞期，一边是职场荣誉，一边是家人牵挂，她陷入纠结。最终艾米选择优先家庭，向经理申请改期演讲，订最早航班回家陪母亲庆生，也真切体会到，再多荣誉也比不上家人相伴的温暖。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“看到他们脸上洋溢着幸福的笑容，她明白了自己该怎么做。”可知，第一段可描写最终艾米选择优先家庭，向经理申请改期演讲。 ②由第二段首句内容“心情轻松的艾米迅速预订了最早的一班回家的航班。”可知，第二段可描写订最早航班回家陪母亲庆生，也真切体会到，再多荣誉也比不上家人相伴的温暖。 2.续写线索：艾米优先选择家庭——向经理申请改期——预定飞机回家——见到母亲——艾米感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①拥抱：hug/embrace ②代替：replace/take the place of ③表扬：praise/speak highly of 情绪类 ①惊讶：surprise/astonishment ②快乐：joy/pleasure 【点睛】[高分句型1] After hanging up, she tidied up her desk, putting away the speech drafts and replacing them with the family photo.（运用了动名词hanging作宾语） [高分句型2] When she arrived home, her mother hugged her tightly, tears of joy in her eyes.（运用了when引导时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 合肥一中2025-2026学年度第二学期期末教学质量监测 高二英语试题 （考试时间：120分钟 满分：150分） 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 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.

This mode of travel, cycling, allows for a close exploration of diverse landscapes. It is defined by its independence and a pace that is ideal for deep cultural and geographical appreciation. The following typical routes illustrate the varied appeal of such undertakings, each presenting a distinct set of physical demands and cultural rewards. DANUBE CYCLE PATH Crossing the river from its German source to its mouth in Romania constitutes an awe-inspiring 1,800-mile journey. However, its picturesque Austrian section offers a highly scenic alternative. Starting just across the German border in Passau, cyclists can conclude their journey in Slovakia, with Bratislava readily accessible from Vienna by train. C2C(Sea-to-Sea) ROUTE Modeled on the trans-England principle of Hadrian’s Wall, this route negotiates the rough landform of the Lake District and North Pennines. Participants often observe the tradition of engaging their back wheel in the Irish Sea at the outset, and their front wheel in the North Sea upon reaching the edge of Newcastle. CANAL DU MIDI This global cultural treasure in France was designed with boats not bikes in mind, but its tree-lined canal paths make for a very civilized cycle. Exodus Travels’ tour also takes in the historic walled town of Carcassonne from the Middle Ages and a chance to wash off the dust of the road on a pretty beach. CROSS CAPE This leg-testing journey crosses the southern tip of the African continent. Departing from Plettenberg Bay, the route progresses through the unique fynbos ecosystem, passes historic towns, and eventually reaches Stellenbosch, the heart of the Cape Winelands. Distance Typical Duration Official Resource DANUBE CYCLE PATH 250 miles About 8 days danube-cycle-path.com C2C (Sea-to-Sea) ROUTE 150 miles About 6 days c2c-guide.co.uk CANAL DU MIDI 120 miles About 5 days exodus.co.uk CROSS CAPE 450 miles About 14 days capecycleroutes. co. za 1. What is the primary purpose of the text? A. To advertise cycling tours. B. To contrast cycling difficulties. C. To explore cycling path history. D. To feature distinct cycling routes. 2. Which best suits cyclists seeking the most physically demanding challenge? A. DANUBE CYCLE PATH. B. C2C (Sea-to-Sea) ROUTE. C. CANAL DU MIDI. D. CROSS CAPE. 3. What is a common characteristic of all these trips? A. Being global cultural treasure. B. Offering transport flexibility. C. Integrating nature and culture. D. Focusing on history and tradition. B There’s something timelessly immersive about audio storytelling — and Naomi Shah knows it. At 24, she established Meet Cute, an entertainment company specializing in short-form audio romantic comedies. It has produced some 250 titles and reached 8.6 million downloads across streaming services. From day one, Meet Cute’s mission was “to build stories at the speed of culture,” Shah says. “If something is trending on socials, we’re able to incorporate it into a story.” Moving quickly and meeting audiences “where they’re at,” Shah says, enables Meet Cute to be “part of the conversation.” Growing up in Portland, Ore., Shah loved creative writing but was identified as a “STEMkid.” She majored in mechanical engineering. Wanting something more creative and founder-facing, she joined the investment team at Union Square Ventures. Her employer wanted better odds, but the team couldn’t find an entrepreneur (创业者) with a convincing proposal. So Shah wrote one herself, drawing up the blueprints for such a company. Later, Union Square contributed the first of $9.3 million in backing. While Shah is a rom-com fan, she envisions Meet Cute’s appeal lying not in specific genre (体裁) conventions, but in general feel-good, nonprescriptive escapism.“Rom-coms stand for hope, human connection and love,” says Shah. But why this approach — brief, audible, and upbeat? According to Shah, Meet Cute “brings entertainment into day-to-day tasks and pockets of time” when you can’t dedicate hours to a screen. Plus, without concrete visuals, listeners’ imaginations run wild. “Every single person is in the director’s seat,” she says. Earlier this year, the company was acquired by Fox Entertainment, where Shah now serves as senior vice president of strategy and operations. Meet Cute can now tap the wealth of Fox-owned stories and convert them to audio, and it has multiple global platforms on which to distribute its stories. “It’s not over,” Shah says. “That is something that I’m very proud of: I’ve built something that’s going to keep going.” 4. What kind of content does Meet Cute seek to produce? A. Long and weighty. B. Classic and formal. C. Accurate and select. D. Timely and relatable. 5. Which of the following best describes Shah’s career path? A. A preset track. B. A tough climb. C. A cross-field leap. D. A comfort-zone choice. 6. What does Shah highlight as a desirable feature of Meet Cute? A. It fits into small time windows. B. It sticks to rom-com conventions. C. It supports independent directors. D. It provides step-by-step instructions. 7. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Rise of Audio Storytelling B. Mixing Business with Pleasure C. A STEM Kid’s Literary Journey D. Why We Love Romantic Comedies C Beneath the Pacific lies the Clarion-Clipperton Zone (CCZ), where tens of billions of polymetallic nodules (多金属结核) are packed with cobalt (钴). Seabed-mining companies promote them as “a battery in a rock” and “the easiest way to solve climate change.” They claim that those nodules can provide metals for 4.8 billion electric vehicles. Yet this promise threatens a biological treasure. Marine (海洋的) biologists reveal the CCZ shelters over 5,000 unique species in the darkness. The extensive mining of cobalt may lead to the loss of biodiversity. A company claimed to have found a solution to minimize the damage to the ecology and has already trialed a 25-ton collector robot designed to harvest these nodules. However, a 2023 study shows it can cause permanent destruction in the area. Commercial mining is not yet permitted in international waters. The International Seabed Authority (ISA) is still determining how, and under what conditions, mining should be allowed. After 28 years of debate, its 168 member states still lack formal agreement. While companies advocate using nodule-collecting robots, 437 scientists from 44 countries demand an immediate stop.ISA studies confirm that just 10% mining of the CCZ may wipe out 50% of its species. Nor is it certain that cobalt mining will even be all that important in car-battery technology. Many battery companies are trying to recycle cobalt from spent batteries. In March, several major European carmakers jointly stated that they would not buy any metals produced from deep-sea mining before the environmental risks are “completely understood”. Meanwhile, several Chinese electric vehicle producers have already made the switch, recycling up to 95% of metals from used batteries. “Why rush to mine the ocean for metals becoming outdated?” said battery expert Gavin Harper. On June 8, 21 marine scientists from 8 universities finished a six-week research in the CCZ and packed up seafloor samples to take back to their labs for further analysis. “An assessment of the mining’s impact will take years of research,” says Andrew from Edinburgh. “I’m trying to get the best environmental data. And then it’s up to society to make the decision to go ahead.” 8. Why are the nodules called “a battery in a rock”? A. They contain valuable metals. B. They have recharging qualities. C. They own battery-like structures. D. They generate renewable power. 9. What can be inferred about the ISA? A. It prioritizes economic interests. B. It is guarded about seabed mining. C. It opposes commercial operations. D. It requires more technical support. 10. What does the author want to illustrate in Paragraph 4? A. Deep-sea mining meets demands. B. Carmakers reuse battery materials. C. Battery recycling needs promoting. D. Seabed mining for cobalt can wait. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Marine Mining, a Green Solution B. Cobalt, the Future of Batteries C. Ocean Metals, an Ocean Risk? D. CCZ, the Treasure Unknown? D A recent robot sports competition showed humanoid robots running, falling, getting up, and continuing to the finish line. This event reflects the current state of AI and has raised public awareness. At the same time, rising AI stock (股票) prices show that investors are optimistic about its future. In China, using AI in work and daily life has become a national goal. Last month, the State Council released a plan for the “AI+” initiative. This plan aims to bring AI into all industries over 10 years, in three stages, to build new smart economic and social systems. A survey shows that 53.1% of people are excited about AI, 26% are pleasantly surprised, and 11% feel negative. This optimism comes from the belief that AI will change life just like mobile internet did. This is similar to the success of China’s “Internet+” plan over the past ten years, which helped improve industries and people’s lives. However, AI also brings worries. Some fear that AI “silicon (硅)-based workers” might take human jobs, and that relying too much on AI could weaken human thinking skills. Research from MIT found that people who use AI a lot have weaker brain connections. Other current problems include “black boxes” (when AI gives unpredictable results because it learns from data) and “model hallucinations” (when AI gives wrong answers based on untested data). Although some people are worried, this will not stop AI from moving forward. As an important area in global competition, AI’s development is certain. The “AI+” plan also focuses on safety and includes rules to prevent misuse. Like other major new technologies in the past, AI will need time to improve. Experts say today’s problems will help the industry become more careful and lead to important breakthroughs in the future. 12. What is the main goal of China’s “AI+” initiative mentioned in the text? A. To reduce the price of AI stocks. B. To combine AI with all industries. C. To stop people from using AI in daily life. D. To make AI robots win all sports competitions. 13. Why are many people optimistic about AI? A. Because they think AI will change life. B. Because AI will replace all human jobs. C. Because AI can solve all health problems. D. Because AI robots are faster than humans. 14. What does the underlined phrase “model hallucinations” mean? A. AI robots making errors during tasks. B. Weaker brain connections in AI users. C. AI mistakes caused by unproven data. D. Unpredictable results from AI learning from data. 15. What is the author’s attitude toward AI’s future? A. Totally indifferent, ignoring AI. B. Fully negative, fearing job losses. C. Deeply doubtful, questioning AI’s value. D. Cautiously hopeful, balancing risks and progress. 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。 In everyday communication, we exchange not only logical information but also emotions, attitudes and inner states. Since human beings are emotional creatures, our decisions, whether significant or trivial, are often driven more by emotions than by pure reason. Therefore, to express strong emotions clearly, we tend to use words like very, so and truly in daily language. ____16____ Verbal intensifiers (强化词) are special function words that enhance the meaning, especially the emotional meaning of the words they are attached to. ____17____ According to Buzarov (1998), intensification is a stable and vital feature of informal language. Words such as awfully, deeply, tremendously, and truly help speakers strengthen emotional impact and influence listeners’ psychological perception. ____18____ In English, we often say “I am deeply grateful” or “He is dead tired.” Other languages also have similar words: очень in Russian, sehr in German, très in French. Some new intensifiers are even created by combining words, like fantabulous from fantastic and fabulous. To make the most of intensifiers, we should use them with a clear purpose. Do not use them mindlessly. ____19____ Connect them with your genuine attitude and focus on conveying precise emotions. This way, appropriate use of intensifiers will make our words more powerful and sincere. Intensifiers, like any other linguistic tool, work best in the right context. ____20____ However, overusing them without necessity will only weaken their expressive effect and make our words sound empty. Mastering them wisely helps us become more proficient and persuasive communicators. A. Proper use is a smart linguistic choice. B. These function words have great expressive value. C. You’d better use them to express real ideas and emotions. D. Using intensifiers at will influences emotional expression. E. Intensifiers are used to simplify the meaning of other words. F. This is why verbal intensifiers have emerged in languages worldwide. G. They are commonly employed across languages and take on diverse forms. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 When I was six years old, my entire body went up in flames.

She read market reports on the subway, ate salad at her desk, and even practised her presentation while brushing her hair. Her small apartment, a thousand miles from home, witnessed all her efforts: notes, charts and presentation drafts covered the living-room table. “Amy, you’re on fire!” her manager laughed one Monday. The words kept Amy smiling all afternoon. Then a company e-mail arrived: Amy, congratulations! You are this year’s Outstanding New Employee. Please give an eight-minute speech at the company’s annual meeting on Sunday morning. Amy’s heart jumped. She read the message again and again. That night she sat at her desk and wrote about the coffee that grew cold, the code that finally worked at 2 a.m., and the pride she felt when her first project helped the team win a new client. Yet, from time to time, a faint guilt brushed her heart. She remembered her mother’s soft voice in their last video call: “Don’t work too hard, sweetheart. You’re already great. Come home for a rest.” Each time Amy whispered to herself, “Next month, Mum — on your birthday.” She spent the next evenings perfecting every word and gesture. On Saturday evening she felt ready. Then the phone rang. It was Dad. “Amy, tomorrow’s your mum’s fiftieth birthday. We’re planning a simple lunch. When are you coming home?” Mum’s birthday! How could I forget? Shame washed over Amy. She opened her mouth, but no words came out. The meeting, the carefully prepared speech and her colleagues’ proud smiles all suddenly felt heavy in her chest. “Dad, the company’s annual meeting is also tomorrow... I was supposed to give a speech as the Outstanding New Employee...” Her voice was tight with conflict. “Oh, congratulations, sweetie. I understand — it’s a big day. Your mum will be so proud...” Amy remained frozen for a moment, not knowing how the call ended. Then her eye fell on her family photo on the desk, with her parents on either side. 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。 Seeing the happy smiles on their faces, she knew what she had to do. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With a light heart, Amy booked the earliest flight home. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
