Here are some top unmissable festivals from around the world. Rio Carnival, Brazil It is a five-day festival which takes place forty days before Easter. Rio de Janeiro has earned its title as the Carnival capital of the world with its famous samba dancing, colourful eye-catching clothes and live music. Holi Festival, India Holi is a Hindu spring festival, also known as the “festival of colours”. It is a sign of the victory of good over evil, the end of winter, and the arrival of spring. Starting with a nighttime bonfire where people gather, sing and dance, Holi is celebrated the next day by people throwing coloured powder and water at each other. St. Patrick’s Day, Ireland Held on March 17 every year, it is a celebration to mark the death of Ireland’s patron saint (守护神) Saint Patrick. Since 1996, an entire festival of parades, fireworks as well as food and drinks has surrounded the celebration. Enjoy traditional songs and dances, watch musical street theatre shows and get dressed in all green as you celebrate Irish heritage (遗产) and culture. Burning Man Festival, United States As a week-long event at the end of August in the Black Rock Desert of Nevada, it attracts tens of thousands of people from all over the world each year. Tickets to Burning Man are not cheap. But once you’re there, you will surely have an unforgettable experience. The main event is burning a large wooden statue (雕像) on Saturday night, followed by a big dance party that lasts all night long. 1. Which of the following is NOT presented on St. Patrick’s Day? A.

C 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍了世界各地四个特色节日的时间、习俗与独特庆祝方式。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据St. Patrick’s Day, Ireland部分中“Enjoy traditional songs and dances, watch musical street theatre shows and get dressed in all green as you celebrate Irish heritage (遗产) and culture. (欣赏传统歌曲和舞蹈，观看音乐街头戏剧表演，并穿上全绿色的衣服来庆祝爱尔兰遗产和文化。)”可知，圣帕特里克节的活动包括传统歌舞、街头戏剧表演和穿绿色衣服，文中未提及传统艺术展。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Rio Carnival, Brazil部分中“It is a five-day festival (这是一个为期五天的节日)”可知，里约狂欢节持续5天；根据Holi Festival, India部分中“Starting with a nighttime bonfire where people gather, sing and dance, Holi is celebrated the next day by people throwing coloured powder and water at each other. (洒红节以一个夜间篝火活动开始，人们聚集在一起唱歌跳舞；第二天，人们通过互相抛洒彩色粉末和泼水来庆祝。)”可知，洒红节持续2天；根据St. Patrick’s Day, Ireland部分中“Held on March 17 every year (每年3月17日举行)”可知，圣帕特里克节持续1天；根据Burning Man Festival, United States部分中“As a week-long event (作为一个为期一周的活动)”可知，火人节持续7天。因此火人节持续时间最长。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Rio Carnival, Brazil部分中“its famous samba dancing (其著名的桑巴舞)”、Holi Festival, India部分中“people gather, sing and dance (人们聚集、唱歌和跳舞)”、St. Patrick’s Day, Ireland部分中“Enjoy traditional songs and dances (欣赏传统歌曲和舞蹈)”、Burning Man Festival, United States部分中“followed by a big dance party that lasts all night long (随后是一场持续整晚的大型舞会)”可知，跳舞是这些节日共同的庆祝方式。 B In 2025, Liu Jiakun, a world-famous architect (建筑师), was awarded the Pritzker Architecture Prize, the highest honor in the field of architecture, becoming the second Chinese to win such recognition. Liu’s road to architecture was not smooth. He grew up in a family of doctors, but he was always interested in art. He spent his childhood drawing and reading, which laid a solid foundation for his later career. Before entering college in 1978, he had worked as an “educated youth” in the countryside for five years. This period of tough work and close observation of farmers’ life gave him a deep understanding of the needs of ordinary people. He learned to see beauty in simplicity and to value the connection between humans and the environment — lessons that would become the core of his building idea. Liu’s works are famous for combining tradition with modernity and respecting the local environment. He advocates the “low-tech strategy”, using local and cheap materials to create comfortable and practical spaces. He recycles materials from earthquake ruins to make “recycled bricks”, which are used in many reconstruction projects. His well-known works include West Village Courtyard and Luye Garden Stone Carving Art Museum, which show his love for his hometown and care for people. Liu’s love for creation and care for people finally made him stand out in the world. As he put it, architecture should show the inner beauty of a place and connect people with their homes. His works not only bring comfort to people’s life, but also pass on Chinese culture to the world. “My education was not just about drawing blueprints,” Liu recalled in an interview. “It was about learning how to use architecture to tell the stories of the people I grew up with.” 4. What can we learn about Liu from the first two paragraphs? A. He longed to be a doctor. B. He was good at observing. C. He dropped out of university. D. He was the first Pritzker winner. 5. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. Liu’s youth and education background. B. Liu’s concern about the environment. C. Liu’s method of collecting materials. D. Liu’s building idea and typical works. 6. What does Liu think architects should do? A. Tell their own stories. B. Connect people with places. C. Follow good examples totally. D. Draw beautiful blueprints only. 7. What does the Liu’s experience show? A. Life shapes design. B. Attitude is everything. C. Easier said than done. D. Never too old to learn. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要介绍2025年普利兹克建筑奖得主刘家琨的成长经历、建筑理念与代表作品，及其对建筑的理解。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“This period of tough work and close observation of farmers’ life gave him a deep understanding of the needs of ordinary people.(这段艰苦的劳动以及对农民生活的细致观察，让他深刻理解了普通人的需求。)”可知，刘家琨善于观察。故选B项。 【5题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段中的“Liu’s works are famous for combining tradition with modernity and respecting the local environment. He advocates the “low-tech strategy”, using local and cheap materials to create comfortable and practical spaces. (刘家琨的作品以融合传统与现代、尊重当地环境而闻名。他倡导“低技术策略”，利用当地廉价的材料打造舒适实用的空间。)”以及“His well-known works include West Village Courtyard and Luye Garden Stone Carving Art Museum, which show his love for his hometown and care for people.(他的知名作品包括西村庭院和鹿野园石雕艺术博物馆，这些作品展现了他对家乡的热爱与对民众的关怀。)”可知，本段主要介绍刘家琨的建筑理念和代表作品。故选D项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“As he put it, architecture should show the inner beauty of a place and connect people with their homes.(正如他所说，建筑应展现一个地方的内在美，并将人与家园联系起来。)”可知，刘家琨认为建筑师应将人与地方联系起来。故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“This period of tough work and close observation of farmers’ life gave him a deep understanding of the needs of ordinary people. He learned to see beauty in simplicity and to value the connection between humans and the environment — lessons that would become the core of his building idea.(这段艰苦的劳动和对农民生活的细致观察让他深刻理解普通人的需求。他学会在简约中发现美，重视人与环境的联系——这些经验成为他建筑理念的核心。)”可知，生活经历塑造了他的设计思想，体现了“生活塑造设计”。故选A项。 C The thing about space is that it’s huge. It took three days for Apollo (阿波罗号) to get to the moon. It takes between five months and a year to get to Mars and around five years to get to Jupiter. Of course, that’s still in our neighborhood. The nearest star outside the Solar System is Proxima Centauri (比邻星), which would take the Voyager spacecraft 80,000 years to get to. We’re not really built for space travel. We don’t live very long, relatively speaking. Our body needs gravity. We need oxygen, warmth, water and food, but space doesn’t have any of these. In other words, space exploration is an incredibly dangerous venture. When I was a kid, exploring space was a big deal. The last Apollo mission to the moon was in 1972, but I was too young to know anything about it. The first space mission I actually remember was Viking II, which landed on Mars. Honestly, I was expecting it to find alien life. Not intelligent life, maybe, but life. Back then I thought that we were not alone in the universe. It was only a matter of time before we’d pick up radio signals from an alien civilization. And when the Space Shuttle program was first announced, I was sure that humans were going to explore the universe, meet aliens, live on other worlds, and have adventures. And it was all going to happen in my lifetime. Of course, not all my imagination has happened. But we need to go on exploring. Exploration, knowledge, wonder, imagination — these are the best of what it means to be human. On January 28, 1986, I sat in the cafeteria of my Catholic Memorial High School and watched the Space Shuttle Challenger take off. The teachers at my school had set up TVs so that we could get inspired. Instead, we all watched in horror as the space shuttle blew up again and again and again. Seven astronauts died. However, no one thought that we should give up the Space Shuttle program. If anything, we wanted more. We still do. 8. The first two paragraphs mainly talk about . A. the difficulties of space travel B. the main characteristics of space C. the limitations of the human body D. the location of Earth in the universe 9. According to the article, what did the author expect space exploration to produce when he was a kid? ①evidence of alien life ②adventures in outer space ③knowledge about the origin of life ④communication with alien civilization A. ①②③ B. ①②④ C. ①③④ D. ②③④ 10. According to the author, why do we need to continue space exploration? A. Because it involves the best things that make us human. B. Because it is a worthwhile investment with huge profits. C. Because we’re still in the primary stage of learning about space. D. Because no major progress has been made in space exploration for decades. 11. What message does the author intend to convey through the last paragraph? A. Mankind’s journey to space is a long one. B. We need to encourage more students to explore outer space. C. No difficulties should stop us from exploring the universe. D. More efforts should be made to ensure the safety of astronauts. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了太空探索面临着星际距离遥远与人类生理局限的双重严峻挑战，作者结合童年对外星生命的憧憬与挑战者号事故的深刻回忆，强调了对未知的探索欲、想象力与坚韧意志才是人性的光辉所在，人类绝不应因此停止迈向宇宙的步伐。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“The thing about space is that it’s huge. It took three days for Apollo (阿波罗号) to get to the moon. It takes between five months and a year to get to Mars and around five years to get to Jupiter. (太空的特点是它太浩瀚了。阿波罗号花了三天时间才到达月球。到达火星需要五个月到一年，到达木星则需要大约五年。)”及第二段“We’re not really built for space travel. We don’t live very long, relatively speaking. Our body needs gravity. We need oxygen, warmth, water and food, but space doesn’t have any of these. In other words, space exploration is an incredibly dangerous venture. (我们在生理上其实并不适合太空旅行。相对而言，我们的寿命很短。我们的身体需要重力，需要氧气、温暖、水和食物，但太空里这些一样都没有。换言之，太空探索是一项极度危险的冒险。)”可知，前两段分别从宇宙尺度的距离障碍和人类生理条件的先天不足两个方面，详细阐述了太空旅行面临的艰巨困难。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Honestly, I was expecting it to find alien life. Not intelligent life, maybe, but life. Back then I thought that we were not alone in the universe. It was only a matter of time before we’d pick up radio signals from an alien civilization. And when the Space Shuttle program was first announced, I was sure that humans were going to explore the universe, meet aliens, live on other worlds, and have adventures. (老实说，我当时期待它能发现外星生命。也许不是智慧生命，但至少是生命。那时我认为我们在宇宙中并不孤单。我们接收到来自外星文明的无线电信号只是时间问题。当航天飞机计划首次宣布时，我确信人类将要探索宇宙、遇见外星人、移居其他星球并展开冒险。)”可知，作者童年时期期待太空探索能带来外星生命存在的证据、与外星文明的交流以及在外太空的冒险经历，文中并未提及关于生命起源的知识。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Exploration, knowledge, wonder, imagination — these are the best of what it means to be human. (探索、求知、惊叹、想象——这些正是作为人类最宝贵的特质。)”可知，作者认为我们必须继续太空探索，是因为这一过程集中体现了人性中最美好、最核心的品质，而非单纯为了经济利益、填补认知空白或弥补进度滞后。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“On January 28, 1986, I sat in the cafeteria of my Catholic Memorial High School and watched the Space Shuttle Challenger take off. (1986年1月28日，我坐在天主教纪念高中的食堂里，观看挑战者号航天飞机发射。)”、“Seven astronauts died. However, no one thought that we should give up the Space Shuttle program. If anything, we wanted more. We still do. (七名宇航员遇难。然而，没有人认为我们应该放弃航天飞机计划。相反，我们想要更多。我们现在依然如此。)”可知，作者通过叙述挑战者号悲剧及其后的社会反响，意在传达：任何灾难和困难都不应成为人类停止探索宇宙的借口，探索的脚步必须继续前行。 D The next time you find yourself in a car, driving along a winding road, you can turn on a cheerful song. It might help you recover from car sickness. A team of researchers led by neuroscientist Yilun Li at China’s Henan Institute of Science and Technology has found music may be a surprisingly effective way to reduce travel-related discomfort. In the experiments, 30 volunteers used a machine that imitated (模仿) car driving, in which they were made to feel carsick while wearing an electroencephalograph (EEG) device. This allowed researchers to “read” the volunteers’ brain activity in real time, as it changed from a stable state to one of carsickness, and gradually back again. Volunteers were divided into six groups. Four groups listened to a minute of music after the sick-making drive; one group listened to no music after the drive, and instead spend one minute meditating (冥想), that is, staying calm and focusing on their breathing; and one group ended the drive right before volunteers were expected to feel discomfort. The researchers found that joyful music reduced symptoms of carsickness by 14% compared to the group that meditated. Soft music was the next best type. It reduced symptoms by 13.4% compared to the meditation controls. It’s difficult to confirm how significant these changes are, as the experiments were carried out in a small group of people with limited sample size. Even so, the results have found music can be powerful — changing the way we feel, for better or worse. Previous studies have also shown that a favorite music can improve mood and make us feel good. However, it’s possible that in some situations, it can also have the opposite effect. Sad music may worsen discomfort through emotional connection, the authors suggest. In contrast, cheerful or relaxing music may help volunteers keep a good physical state, thus improving their comfort. 12. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning turning on a cheerful song while in a driving car? A. To give practical advice to drivers. B. To introduce a research discovery. C. To explain a new scientific theory. D. To question an old common belief. 13. How did the researchers measure the volunteers’ brain activity? A. By testing in a moving car. B. By playing different songs. C. By observing their behavior. D. By using a special device. 14. Why is it hard to confirm the significance of the changes? A. Because of lack of devices. B. Because of limited music types. C. Because of short experiment time. D. Because of limited sample size. 15. What is implied about music’s effect in the last paragraph? A. Music’s effect depends on personal taste in music. B. All music helps people keep a good physical state. C. Not all types of music can produce positive results. D. Music can make people feel good and improve people’s mood. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍中国科研团队通过模拟驾驶实验发现，欢快或柔和的音乐能有效缓解晕车症状，其中欢快音乐效果最佳，而悲伤音乐则可能适得其反，为缓解旅途不适提供了简便新思路。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“The next time you find yourself in a car, driving along a winding road, you can turn on a cheerful song. It might help you recover from car sickness. A team of researchers led by neuroscientist Yilun Li at China’s Henan Institute of Science and Technology has found music may be a surprisingly effective way to reduce travel-related discomfort. (下次当你发现自己坐在车里，沿着蜿蜒的道路行驶时，你可以打开一首欢快的歌曲。它可能有助于你从晕车中恢复过来。由中国河南科技学院神经科学家Yilun Li领导的一个研究团队发现，音乐可能是减轻旅行相关不适的一种出奇有效的方法)”可知，作者提及在行驶的汽车里播放欢快的歌曲，是为了引出随后关于音乐缓解晕车症状的研究发现。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“In the experiments, 30 volunteers used a machine that imitated (模仿) car driving, in which they were made to feel carsick while wearing an electroencephalograph (EEG) device. This allowed researchers to “read” the volunteers’ brain activity in real time, as it changed from a stable state to one of carsickness, and gradually back again. (在实验中，30名志愿者使用了一台模拟驾驶的机器，他们在佩戴脑电图设备的同时被诱导产生晕车感。这使得研究人员能够在志愿者的大脑活动从稳定状态转变为晕车状态，并逐渐恢复的过程中，实时“读取”他们的大脑活动)”可知，研究人员是通过让志愿者佩戴脑电图这一特殊设备来测量其大脑活动的。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“It’s difficult to confirm how significant these changes are, as the experiments were carried out in a small group of people with limited sample size. (很难确认这些变化的重要性，因为这些实验是在一小群人中进行的，样本量有限)”可知，由于参与实验的人数较少，样本规模受限，因此难以确定这些变化在统计学上的显著意义。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“However, it’s possible that in some situations, it can also have the opposite effect. Sad music may worsen discomfort through emotional connection, the authors suggest. In contrast, cheerful or relaxing music may help volunteers keep a good physical state, thus improving their comfort. (然而，作者指出，在某些情况下，它也可能产生相反的效果。悲伤的音乐可能会通过情感联系加剧不适感。相比之下，欢快或舒缓的音乐可能有助于志愿者保持良好的身体状态，从而提高舒适度)”可知，文中明确指出悲伤音乐可能加重不适，由此可推断出并非所有类型的音乐都能产生积极效果。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to communicate Well with People from Other Cultures To build good relationships with people from other cultures, it is essential to learn how to communicate with them. You can make things easier by learning about their culture and practicing tolerance. Armed with the knowledge of how to communicate effectively, you can learn from people from other cultures and share yours with them. Learn about the culture beforehand. ____16____ If you have time before starting a trip or meeting with someone from another culture, try to take time to learn the basic “do’s and don’ts” of that culture. You can find information on this from internet sources such as those provided by the National Center for Cultural Competence. Expect differences. Different cultures will speak at different volumes, be more or less direct in showing emotion, may or may not expect to engage in “small talk,” and exhibit other dissimilarities in communication. ____17____ ____18____ Keep your feet on the floor, sit up straight, don’t use your arms too much, and otherwise keep your posture more or less conservative (保守的). ____19____ For example, showing your foot in some cultures is seen as a gesture that shows a lack of respect, so you would not want to cross your legs in a way that your sole sticks out. If it becomes clear that a less formal posture is acceptable, you can follow suit. Speak clearly and slowly, if necessary. Avoid shouting unnecessarily or treat others as though they do not understand. Raising your voice won’t make yourself easily understood. ____20____ So even with communication difficulties, don’t raise your voice improperly. A. Do as the Romans do. B. Keep a formal body language. C. A little knowledge can go a long way. D. Instead, it can be seen as ill-mannered sometimes. E. It’s better to ignore small cultural differences to avoid overthinking. F. This is because certain body language can be seen as impolite to others. G. When communicating across cultures, be prepared for such differences — even unexpected ones. 【答案】16. C 17. G 18. B 19. F 20. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了构建良好跨文化关系的沟通策略：建议提前了解异域文化禁忌，正视交际差异，保持得体庄重的体态语，并避免靠拔高音量强行交流，以包容心态实现有效互动。 【16题详解】 上文“Learn about the culture beforehand.(提前了解文化)”明确提出跨文化交际前的准备建议，强调预习的重要性，下文“If you have time before starting a trip or meeting with someone from another culture, try to take time to learn the basic “do’s and don’ts” of that culture. (如果你在开始旅行或与来自另一种文化的人会面之前有时间，试着花时间学习该文化基本的“注意事项”)”通过具体指引说明提前学习哪些内容。C选项“A little knowledge can go a long way.(一点知识能起大作用)”既是对上文“learn about”行为的价值肯定，又自然引出下文关于学习具体文化细则的必要性，符合语境。 【17题详解】 上文“Different cultures will speak at different volumes, be more or less direct in showing emotion, may or may not expect to engage in “small talk,” and exhibit other dissimilarities in communication. (不同的文化会有不同的说话音量，在表达情感时或直接或含蓄，可能期待也可能不期待进行“闲聊”，并在沟通中表现出其他差异)”详尽罗列了不同文化在言语表达、情感流露及寒暄习惯等方面的显著差异，及下文空缺处需对这些现象进行归纳并提出应对策略。G选项“When communicating across cultures, be prepared for such differences — even unexpected ones.(跨文化交际时，要为这些差异做好准备——甚至是意料之外的差异)”中的“such differences”精准指代上文列举的所有文化分歧点，且“be prepared for”为下文的具体行为提供了心理预设，逻辑衔接紧密，符合语境。 【18题详解】 下文“Keep your feet on the floor, sit up straight, don’t use your arms too much, and otherwise keep your posture more or less conservative (保守的). (双脚着地，坐直身体，不要过多使用手臂，总体上保持较为保守的姿态)”围绕坐姿、手势等肢体动作展开，给出了具体的非语言交际规范。B选项“Keep a formal body language.(保持正式的肢体语言)”高度概括了下文所有关于仪态的具体要求，适合作为段落主题句。 【19题详解】 上文“Keep your feet on the floor, sit up straight, don’t use your arms too much, and otherwise keep your posture more or less conservative (保守的). (双脚着地，坐直身体，不要过多使用手臂，总体上保持较为保守的姿态)”提出了保持保守姿态的总体指令，下文“For example, showing your foot in some cultures is seen as a gesture that shows a lack of respect, so you would not want to cross your legs in a way that your sole sticks out.(例如，在某些文化中露出脚被视为不尊重的举动，因此你不会想以脚底朝外的方式跷二郎腿)”通过具体案例展示了特定肢体动作的冒犯性后果。F选项“This is because certain body language can be seen as impolite to others.(这是因为某些肢体语言对他人而言可能显得不礼貌)”利用“This is because”建立了因果逻辑，解释了为何要遵守上文的保守姿态要求，并顺畅引出了下文的例证，符合语境。 【20题详解】 上文“Raising your voice won’t make yourself easily understood. (提高音量并不会让你更容易被理解)”否定了大声说话的有效性，下文“So even with communication difficulties, don’t raise your voice improperly. (因此，即便存在沟通困难，也不要不恰当地提高音量)”基于此逻辑推导出行为准则。D选项“Instead, it can be seen as ill-mannered sometimes.(相反，这有时会被视为举止粗鲁)”通过“Instead”进行转折，进一步补充了大声说话的负面社交评价，强化了上文观点的同时，为下文的结论提供了充分的理由支撑，符合语境。 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和D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Hunter Shamatt lost his wallet while he was on a flight from Omaha to Denver earlier this month.

One particular day, Lisa-my fellow volunteer-and I were appointed to raise funds for cancer research at a public event. Though many people paused to glance at our poster or ask a few questions, very few actually donated. As the minutes dragged on, both Lisa and I grew increasingly upset. About half an hour later, Lisa sighed (叹气) in frustration, “I don’t think we’re going to raise much today.” I tried to sound optimistic, “The event isn’t over yet — we still have time,” though deep down, I shared her doubts. Just as we were losing hope, a little boy, no more than eight years old, approached slowly. Stopping in front of our poster, he frowned slightly, carefully reading the words. After a moment of quiet concentration, he looked up with large, curious eyes and asked softly, “What is cancer?” I knelt down to his level and did my best to explain it in simple words, describing how the illness affects people and why we need more research to help them. With his expression growing more serious with each word, he asked, “Do children get cancer too?” “Yes,” Lisa replied gently with sadness. “Many children do. Some of them don’t get better. They really need someone to help.” Hearing this, his shoulders dropped slightly, and a shadow of sadness crossed his young face. After a brief silence, he asked in a small voice, “How much money have you collected so far?” Lisa and I exchanged an uneasy glance, both feeling embarrassed about revealing (透露) how little we had raised. Finally, I murmured, “Not very much.” The boy looked into our donation box, his eyes taking in the one-and five-dollar bills. Turning quietly, he walked away and disappeared into the crowd. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150词左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Neither of us expected to see that little boy again. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Watching the boy walk away, Lisa and I were deeply touched. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: Neither of us expected to see that little boy again. Yet, several minutes later, to our surprise, he returned. The boy came running back to us with a big smile on his face. He showed us a small piggy bank in his hands. “Here,” he said breathlessly, “I want to give all my money to help the children with cancer.” Lisa and I couldn’t utter a single word when the boy poured out all the coins into our donation box. It was then that we realized this little boy, who was probably not much older than the children we were trying to help, had given up all his savings for this cause. Paragraph 2: Watching the boy walk away, Lisa and I were deeply touched. We knew that what he had done would inspire others to do the same. As we continued our fundraising efforts, we shared the boy’s story with everyone who stopped by, hoping to spread the message of kindness and generosity. It turned out that more and more people joined us to offer help. Small though it was, the boy’s selfless act was a powerful reminder that even the youngest among us can make a difference in the world, which is what truly matters. 【解析】 【导语】本文以小男孩询问癌症并了解募捐情况为线索展开，讲述了作为志愿者的“我”和Lisa在募捐活动中遇到一个小男孩。小男孩认真询问癌症是什么、儿童是否也会得癌症，并得知募捐款项很少后默默离开，留下失望的志愿者。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句可知，第一段可描写小男孩意外返回，带着存钱罐将所有积蓄捐出，志愿者被他的无私行为深深震撼。 ②由第二段首句可知，第二段可描写志愿者分享小男孩的故事后，更多人受到感染并参与捐赠，志愿者感悟到即使最年幼的孩子也能带来改变。 2. 续写线索：男孩返回——带来存钱罐——捐出所有积蓄——志愿者感动——分享故事——激发他人——感悟善举力量 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①放弃：give up/abandon ②激励：inspire/stimulate/motivate 情绪类 ①惊讶：surprise/astonishment ②感动：touched/moved 【点睛】[高分句型1] Lisa and I couldn’t utter a single word when the boy poured out all the coins into our donation box. (运用了when引导的时间状语从句) [高分句型2] Small though it was, the boy’s selfless act was a powerful reminder that even the youngest among us can make a difference in the world, which is what truly matters.

Here are some top unmissable festivals from around the world. Rio Carnival, Brazil It is a five-day festival which takes place forty days before Easter. Rio de Janeiro has earned its title as the Carnival capital of the world with its famous samba dancing, colourful eye-catching clothes and live music. Holi Festival, India Holi is a Hindu spring festival, also known as the “festival of colours”. It is a sign of the victory of good over evil, the end of winter, and the arrival of spring. Starting with a nighttime bonfire where people gather, sing and dance, Holi is celebrated the next day by people throwing coloured powder and water at each other. St. Patrick’s Day, Ireland Held on March 17 every year, it is a celebration to mark the death of Ireland’s patron saint (守护神) Saint Patrick.

B In 2025, Liu Jiakun, a world-famous architect (建筑师), was awarded the Pritzker Architecture Prize, the highest honor in the field of architecture, becoming the second Chinese to win such recognition. Liu’s road to architecture was not smooth. He grew up in a family of doctors, but he was always interested in art. He spent his childhood drawing and reading, which laid a solid foundation for his later career. Before entering college in 1978, he had worked as an “educated youth” in the countryside for five years. This period of tough work and close observation of farmers’ life gave him a deep understanding of the needs of ordinary people. He learned to see beauty in simplicity and to value the connection between humans and the environment — lessons that would become the core of his building idea. Liu’s works are famous for combining tradition with modernity and respecting the local environment. He advocates the “low-tech strategy”, using local and cheap materials to create comfortable and practical spaces. He recycles materials from earthquake ruins to make “recycled bricks”, which are used in many reconstruction projects. His well-known works include West Village Courtyard and Luye Garden Stone Carving Art Museum, which show his love for his hometown and care for people. Liu’s love for creation and care for people finally made him stand out in the world. As he put it, architecture should show the inner beauty of a place and connect people with their homes. His works not only bring comfort to people’s life, but also pass on Chinese culture to the world. “My education was not just about drawing blueprints,” Liu recalled in an interview. “It was about learning how to use architecture to tell the stories of the people I grew up with.” 4. What can we learn about Liu from the first two paragraphs? A. He longed to be a doctor. B. He was good at observing. C. He dropped out of university. D. He was the first Pritzker winner. 5. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. Liu’s youth and education background. B. Liu’s concern about the environment. C. Liu’s method of collecting materials. D. Liu’s building idea and typical works. 6. What does Liu think architects should do? A. Tell their own stories. B. Connect people with places. C. Follow good examples totally. D. Draw beautiful blueprints only. 7. What does the Liu’s experience show? A. Life shapes design. B. Attitude is everything. C. Easier said than done. D. Never too old to learn. C The thing about space is that it’s huge. It took three days for Apollo (阿波罗号) to get to the moon. It takes between five months and a year to get to Mars and around five years to get to Jupiter. Of course, that’s still in our neighborhood. The nearest star outside the Solar System is Proxima Centauri (比邻星), which would take the Voyager spacecraft 80,000 years to get to. We’re not really built for space travel. We don’t live very long, relatively speaking. Our body needs gravity. We need oxygen, warmth, water and food, but space doesn’t have any of these. In other words, space exploration is an incredibly dangerous venture. When I was a kid, exploring space was a big deal. The last Apollo mission to the moon was in 1972, but I was too young to know anything about it. The first space mission I actually remember was Viking II, which landed on Mars. Honestly, I was expecting it to find alien life. Not intelligent life, maybe, but life. Back then I thought that we were not alone in the universe. It was only a matter of time before we’d pick up radio signals from an alien civilization. And when the Space Shuttle program was first announced, I was sure that humans were going to explore the universe, meet aliens, live on other worlds, and have adventures. And it was all going to happen in my lifetime. Of course, not all my imagination has happened. But we need to go on exploring. Exploration, knowledge, wonder, imagination — these are the best of what it means to be human. On January 28, 1986, I sat in the cafeteria of my Catholic Memorial High School and watched the Space Shuttle Challenger take off. The teachers at my school had set up TVs so that we could get inspired. Instead, we all watched in horror as the space shuttle blew up again and again and again. Seven astronauts died. However, no one thought that we should give up the Space Shuttle program. If anything, we wanted more. We still do. 8. The first two paragraphs mainly talk about . A. the difficulties of space travel B. the main characteristics of space C. the limitations of the human body D. the location of Earth in the universe 9.

D The next time you find yourself in a car, driving along a winding road, you can turn on a cheerful song. It might help you recover from car sickness. A team of researchers led by neuroscientist Yilun Li at China’s Henan Institute of Science and Technology has found music may be a surprisingly effective way to reduce travel-related discomfort. In the experiments, 30 volunteers used a machine that imitated (模仿) car driving, in which they were made to feel carsick while wearing an electroencephalograph (EEG) device. This allowed researchers to “read” the volunteers’ brain activity in real time, as it changed from a stable state to one of carsickness, and gradually back again. Volunteers were divided into six groups. Four groups listened to a minute of music after the sick-making drive; one group listened to no music after the drive, and instead spend one minute meditating (冥想), that is, staying calm and focusing on their breathing; and one group ended the drive right before volunteers were expected to feel discomfort. The researchers found that joyful music reduced symptoms of carsickness by 14% compared to the group that meditated. Soft music was the next best type. It reduced symptoms by 13.4% compared to the meditation controls. It’s difficult to confirm how significant these changes are, as the experiments were carried out in a small group of people with limited sample size. Even so, the results have found music can be powerful — changing the way we feel, for better or worse. Previous studies have also shown that a favorite music can improve mood and make us feel good. However, it’s possible that in some situations, it can also have the opposite effect. Sad music may worsen discomfort through emotional connection, the authors suggest. In contrast, cheerful or relaxing music may help volunteers keep a good physical state, thus improving their comfort. 12. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning turning on a cheerful song while in a driving car? A. To give practical advice to drivers. B. To introduce a research discovery. C. To explain a new scientific theory. D. To question an old common belief. 13. How did the researchers measure the volunteers’ brain activity? A. By testing in a moving car. B. By playing different songs. C. By observing their behavior. D. By using a special device. 14. Why is it hard to confirm the significance of the changes? A. Because of lack of devices. B. Because of limited music types. C. Because of short experiment time. D. Because of limited sample size. 15. What is implied about music’s effect in the last paragraph? A. Music’s effect depends on personal taste in music. B. All music helps people keep a good physical state. C. Not all types of music can produce positive results. D. Music can make people feel good and improve people’s mood. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to communicate Well with People from Other Cultures To build good relationships with people from other cultures, it is essential to learn how to communicate with them. You can make things easier by learning about their culture and practicing tolerance. Armed with the knowledge of how to communicate effectively, you can learn from people from other cultures and share yours with them. Learn about the culture beforehand. ____16____ If you have time before starting a trip or meeting with someone from another culture, try to take time to learn the basic “do’s and don’ts” of that culture. You can find information on this from internet sources such as those provided by the National Center for Cultural Competence. Expect differences. Different cultures will speak at different volumes, be more or less direct in showing emotion, may or may not expect to engage in “small talk,” and exhibit other dissimilarities in communication. ____17____ ____18____ Keep your feet on the floor, sit up straight, don’t use your arms too much, and otherwise keep your posture more or less conservative (保守的). ____19____ For example, showing your foot in some cultures is seen as a gesture that shows a lack of respect, so you would not want to cross your legs in a way that your sole sticks out. If it becomes clear that a less formal posture is acceptable, you can follow suit. Speak clearly and slowly, if necessary. Avoid shouting unnecessarily or treat others as though they do not understand. Raising your voice won’t make yourself easily understood. ____20____ So even with communication difficulties, don’t raise your voice improperly. A. Do as the Romans do. B. Keep a formal body language. C. A little knowledge can go a long way. D. Instead, it can be seen as ill-mannered sometimes. E. It’s better to ignore small cultural differences to avoid overthinking. F. This is because certain body language can be seen as impolite to others. G. When communicating across cultures, be prepared for such differences — even unexpected ones. 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和D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Hunter Shamatt lost his wallet while he was on a flight from Omaha to Denver earlier this month.

One particular day, Lisa-my fellow volunteer-and I were appointed to raise funds for cancer research at a public event. Though many people paused to glance at our poster or ask a few questions, very few actually donated. As the minutes dragged on, both Lisa and I grew increasingly upset. About half an hour later, Lisa sighed (叹气) in frustration, “I don’t think we’re going to raise much today.” I tried to sound optimistic, “The event isn’t over yet — we still have time,” though deep down, I shared her doubts. Just as we were losing hope, a little boy, no more than eight years old, approached slowly. Stopping in front of our poster, he frowned slightly, carefully reading the words. After a moment of quiet concentration, he looked up with large, curious eyes and asked softly, “What is cancer?” I knelt down to his level and did my best to explain it in simple words, describing how the illness affects people and why we need more research to help them. With his expression growing more serious with each word, he asked, “Do children get cancer too?” “Yes,” Lisa replied gently with sadness. “Many children do. Some of them don’t get better. They really need someone to help.” Hearing this, his shoulders dropped slightly, and a shadow of sadness crossed his young face. After a brief silence, he asked in a small voice, “How much money have you collected so far?” Lisa and I exchanged an uneasy glance, both feeling embarrassed about revealing (透露) how little we had raised. Finally, I murmured, “Not very much.” The boy looked into our donation box, his eyes taking in the one-and five-dollar bills. Turning quietly, he walked away and disappeared into the crowd. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150词左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Neither of us expected to see that little boy again. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Watching the boy walk away, Lisa and I were deeply touched. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
