D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了2026年值得参观的四座世界级自然历史博物馆，分别介绍了位于英国伦敦、美国纽约、中国北京、日本东京的四座博物馆的馆藏特色、开放时间、门票政策及专属亮点等相关信息。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文American Museum of Natural History (New York, USA)部分“Free admission for New York City students.(纽约市学生可免费入场。)”可知，美国自然历史博物馆对当地学生免费开放。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文Beijing’s National Natural History Museum (Beijing, China)部分“Tickets must be purchased online in advance.(门票必须提前在网上购买。)”可知，北京国家自然历史博物馆要求游客提前网上购票。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文London Natural History Museum (London, UK)部分“Housing over 80 million specimens, this museum is renowned for its dinosaur gallery and earthquake simulator.(这座博物馆拥有超过8000万件标本，以恐龙展厅和地震模拟器闻名。)”、American Museum of Natural History (New York, USA)部分“Famous for its dinosaur fossils and the iconic blue whale model (该博物馆以恐龙化石和标志性的蓝鲸模型闻名)”、Beijing’s National Natural History Museum (Beijing, China)部分“Asia’s largest natural history museum boasts a spectacular dinosaur exhibition and interactive evolution displays.(这座亚洲最大的自然历史博物馆拥有精彩的恐龙展览和互动式进化展示。)”以及Tokyo’s National Museum of Nature and Science (Tokyo, Japan)部分“The star attractions include full-size dinosaur skeletons and rare fossils of ancient Japanese marine reptiles.(核心展品包括完整尺寸的恐龙骨架和珍稀的日本远古海洋爬行动物化石。)”可知，四座博物馆均展出史前生物相关遗迹，这是它们的共同特征。 B I am frequently asked, “Why did you take a part-time job? Were you unable to secure a full-time job?” They imply that something went wrong, or that I was incapable of getting a 9-5 job. A lot of people believe if you don’t get a full-time job out of college, it’s because you couldn’t or you aren’t “good” enough. I’m here to tell you, I don’t care what those people think and you shouldn’t either. With that being said, I wouldn’t suggest taking a random job just to avoid the real world. However, if a job you absolutely love is available, I say go for it. Graduating from college doesn’t mean you want to work from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. every day. If you have an opportunity to work for a company you love, take it. Life is about having fun along the journey so if the right part-time job comes along, take it because it may be a once-in-a-lifetime chance. I was offered a position to work for the Lakers as a part-time corporate partnerships assistant. As soon as I received that offer, I jumped for joy! You can not often get the opportunity to work for the greatest franchise (职业运动队) in sports, so I knew I couldn’t pass up the chance. I turned down several full-time offers to take this job because I wanted to have fun and take advantage of this experience. Not only was I able to work for the Lakers, but I can share this experience with my friends and family who love the Lakers and hearing my stories. In my situation, taking a part-time job gave me the freedom to pursue my entrepreneurial (创业的) desires. Since I would be working a few days a week, I could use the other days to start a business or create a platform to inspire people around the world. Since graduating last May, I’ve worked for the Lakers, developed my relationships in the sports agency world, created Fundamental Mindset and I am completing my first book. 4.

The author considered it a bridge with friends and family. C. It was worthless to reject some full-time jobs for it. D. It was an unusual work chance in sports. 6. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Writing books is what the author really loves. B. The author has developed great interest in sports. C. The part-time job helps the author earn a lot. D. The part-time job makes the author’s schedule more flexible. 7. What does the author want to say in the text? A. What he did to get a part-time job. B. Why he willingly took a part-time job. C. How he wisely chose his part-time job. D. Where he worked in his spare time. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了作者毕业后放弃多份全职工作，选择湖人队兼职工作的原因，反驳了社会上认为毕业生做兼职是能力不足的偏见，阐述了心仪的兼职工作能带来独特体验、自由发展空间，助力个人成长与追梦。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第三段“However, if a job you absolutely love is available, I say go for it.(然而，如果有一份你无比热爱的工作，我建议你勇敢争取。)”可知，作者认为做自己热爱的工作对自己来说是最好的。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第五段“I turned down several full-time offers to take this job because I wanted to have fun and take advantage of this experience.(我拒绝了几份全职工作来接受这份工作，因为我想享受其中的乐趣，并充分利用这段经历。)”可知，作者认为为这份湖人队兼职工作放弃全职工作是值得的，并非毫无价值。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文最后一段“Since I would be working a few days a week, I could use the other days to start a business or create a platform to inspire people around the world.(因为我每周只需要工作几天，我可以利用其余的时间创业或搭建平台，激励世界各地的人。)”可知，这份兼职工作让作者的时间安排更加灵活，能够自主支配空余时间发展个人事业。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，作者开篇反驳大众对毕业生做兼职的偏见，随后讲述自己选择湖人队兼职工作的缘由，以及这份兼职工作给自己带来的独特体验和发展机遇，全文围绕作者主动、自愿选择兼职工作的原因展开，即“他心甘情愿选择兼职工作的原因”。 C For around 10,000 years, humans have been cultivating the land to grow crops — but at what cost? Agriculture is to blame for most land degradation, accounting for 80% of deforestation, 23% of greenhouse gas emissions and 70% of global freshwater use. One proposed solution to ease these negative agricultural effects is to utilise the unoccupied space above ground to cultivate crops. Known as vertical farming, this practice adopts layered systems to grow fruits and vegetables in soilless containers, watered either directly at the roots or through substrates like hemp and coconut fibres. Vertical farming reduces the land needed to produce crops and allows farmers to precisely control the light, temperature and nutrients. But is it sustainable? A 2025 study compared the efficiency of lettuce produced in soil to that grown in vertical farms. Their results showed that vertical farms can deliver more than 20 times the yield of field farms and use about eight times less water than water-thirsty land farms in Spain. However, it’s not all good news for vertical farming. The same study also revealed that greenhouse gas emissions remain higher in vertical farming, even when powered by renewable electricity. This was largely due to the carbon-packed “fibre plugs” (纤维插塞) used in place of soil. The researchers suggest that alternative materials, such as coconut coir, could reduce the carbon footprint. The potential of vertical farming lies in light control. While basking in natural sunlight, traditional land crops are exposed to the full spectrum of light. Those grown in controlled vertical farms, however, can be subjected to light wavelengths of a specific colour. Studies have found that blue light helps produce strong, compact leaves and stems, while far-red light can raise lettuce yields by 30% and increase the photosynthesis rate of Chinese kale by 59%. The future of vertical farming may be shaped by further automation. In 2023, China announced the world’s first unmanned vertical plant factory. The 20-storey automated facility controls seeding, cultivation, harvesting and packing without human intervention. AI manages irrigation, nutrient supply and lighting. The facility can produce over ten harvests of green vegetables annually, with lettuce ready every 36 days. “In densely populated cities, plant factories can replenish the city’s daily vegetable supply and improve its self-sufficiency,” said researcher Wang Sen. 8. What does the underlined word “utilise” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Account for. B. Take advantage of. C. Give up. D. Cut down. 9. What can we know about vertical farming? A. It precisely and automatically regulates growing conditions. B. It turns out highly efficient and fully sustainable. C. It achieves higher output with less water consumed. D. Its high emissions entirely result from fibre plugs. 10. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The importance of blue light for leafy vegetables. B. The significance of natural sunlight for crop growth. C. The advantages of vertical farming over field farming. D. The impacts of various light wavelengths on plant growth. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Vertical Farming’s Potentials and Challenges B. The Unseen Benefits of Soilless Crop Cultivation C. The Future of Agriculture Lies in Light Control and AI D. Ways to Make Vertical Farming Fully Environmentally Friendly 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍了垂直农业作为一种缓解传统农业负面影响的方案，阐述了其高产节水的优势，同时也指出了其温室气体排放较高的挑战，并探讨了光控技术和自动化在未来发展中的潜力。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词的下文“Known as vertical farming, this practice adopts layered systems to grow fruits and vegetables in soilless containers, watered either directly at the roots or through substrates like hemp and coconut fibres. (这种被称为垂直农业的种植方式，采用分层系统，在无土容器中培育水果和蔬菜，通过直接浇灌根部或使用大麻、椰纤维等基质进行浇水。)”可知，垂直农业采用了分层系统，在无土的情况下进行种植，说明这种解决方法是利用地面以上的未占用空间，画线词意思应该是“使用，利用”，与take advantage of“利用”意思接近。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Their results showed that vertical farms can deliver more than 20 times the yield of field farms and use about eight times less water than water-thirsty land farms in Spain. (他们的结果显示，垂直农场能产出超过传统农田20倍的产量，并且用水量仅约为西班牙高耗水农田的八分之一。)”可知，垂直农场用更少的水实现了更高的产量。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段中“Those grown in controlled vertical farms, however, can be subjected to light wavelengths of a specific colour. Studies have found that blue light helps produce strong, compact leaves and stems, while far-red light can raise lettuce yields by 30% and increase the photosynthesis rate of Chinese kale by 59%. (然而，在受控垂直农场中生长的作物可以接受特定颜色的光波长。研究发现，蓝光有助于产生强壮紧凑的叶片和茎，而远红光可以将生菜产量提高30%，并将芥蓝的光合作用速率提高59%。)”可知，本段主要讨论不同波长的光对植物生长的影响。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，第一段引出垂直农业作为解决方案；第二段讲其高产节水的优势；第三段讲其温室气体排放较高的挑战；第四段讲其光控潜力；第五段讲其自动化前景。由此可知，文章既介绍了垂直农业的潜力，也指出了其存在的挑战，“垂直农业的潜力与挑战”最契合文章主旨，适合作为文章标题。 D Nowadays, thousands of runners and outdoor sports fans choose bone-conduction headphones to enjoy live commentary and music. They refuse fully enclosed in-ear earbuds, because they still need to hear traffic and voices around them for safety. This innovative headphone technology sends music straight into your head without blocking outside sound. The idea of bone-conducting headphones is not new, yet they were still seen as a novelty among buyers until recently. First used widely in hearing aids for people with damaged eardrums, the technology sends sound vibration (震动) through cheekbones directly to the inner ear, skipping the eardrum. Strange as it may sound, it works perfectly when used in earphones. Unlike traditional in-ear buds that plug the ear hole completely, this transmission method relies purely on bone conduction rather than air-borne sound, which makes its sound delivery principle totally unique from common audio headsets. Shokz, an audio equipment maker, has long improved this hardware. The American company has spent over ten years turning exclusive medical technology into popular consumer products, bringing bone conduction into ordinary families. Its research teams kept adjusting the weight and arc design of equipment year after year to fit different sizes of human cheekbones, solving the long-standing problem of slipping during high-intensity workouts. The biggest advantage is the fully open ear canals. Nothing inside the ears blocks surrounding noise. While enjoying music, users can still keep track of their surroundings. That makes it popular with runners, who need to watch out for road risks while exercising. With its simple style and great comfort, the product wins wide praise. To further upgrade user experience, top bone-conduction headsets add active noise cancellation (ANC), a practical extra function matched specially for this device. It creates opposite sound waves to offset (抵消) disturbing noise. With this matched feature built into bone-conduction device, cyclists can focus on music without disturbance on busy city roads, adding another competitive edge to the headset. This extra function is only equipped on high-end versions, while basic entry-level models do not carry such noise-canceling ability. 12. Why do sports lovers favour bone-conduction headphones? A. They have built-in ANC noise reduction features. B. They weaken outside sounds around the wearers. C. They keep users informed of nearby surroundings. D. They have fashionable and attractive appearances. 13. What can we learn about the company Shokz? A. It develops diverse wearable audio products. B. It popularizes such headphones for over ten years. C. It pioneered bone-conduction technology for treatment. D. It mainly designs hearing aids for hearing-impaired users. 14. What is the author’s attitude toward bone-conduction headphones? A. Objective B. Doubtful C. Indifferent D. Negative 15. What is the main idea of the text? A. Weaknesses of ordinary bone-conduction headsets B. Wide practical uses of ANC on bone-conduction headsets C. Varied styles of newly released bone-conduction headsets D. How bone-conduction headsets function and their strengths 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了骨传导耳机的工作原理及其在实际生活中的应用优势。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的句子“They refuse fully enclosed in-ear earbuds, because they still need to hear traffic and voices around them for safety. (他们拒绝全封闭的入耳式耳机，因为他们为了安全仍然需要听到周围的交通声和人声)”以及第四段的句子“While enjoying music, users can still keep track of their surroundings. (在享受音乐的同时，用户仍然可以掌握周围的情况)”可知，体育爱好者偏爱骨传导耳机是因为它们能让用户了解周围的环境。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的句子“The American company has spent over ten years turning exclusive medical technology into popular consumer products, bringing bone conduction into ordinary families. (这家美国公司花了十多年时间将独家医疗技术转化为大众消费产品，将骨传导带入普通家庭)”可知，这家公司十多年来一直在普及这类耳机。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，作者既客观解释了骨传导耳机的工作原理 (第二段)，又陈述了其开放式耳道带来的安全优势(第四段)，同时还客观说明了ANC功能仅存在于高端型号中(第五段)。全文没有使用带有强烈个人主观色彩的赞美或贬低词汇，而是以科普和说明的口吻进行介绍，由此可推断出作者的态度是客观的。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第二段详细解释了骨传导耳机的工作原理 (How bone-conduction headsets function)，以及第三、四、五段分别讲述了其设计改进、开放式耳道的安全优势以及ANC功能的加持(their strengths)可知，文章的主旨是介绍骨传导耳机如何工作及其优势。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Why Your Brain Prefers Junk Food? Have you ever wondered why a bag of chips is so much more appealing than an apple? The answer lies not in your willpower but in your brain’s ancient reward system. Over millions of years, human brains evolved to seek out high-calorie foods because they provided enough energy for early humans to survive. ____16____ Modern food companies have learned to use this biological weakness. By combining salt, sugar, and fat in precise ratios, they create what scientists call “highly appealing” foods. These foods cause a much stronger dopamine (多巴胺) release in the brain than natural foods do. ____17____ As a result, you find yourself reaching for another cookie even when you are not hungry. That explains why some people lose control facing processed foods. Long-term exposure to highly appealing foods can actually rewire your brain’s reward circuits. ____18____ At the same time, natural foods like vegetables begin to taste less satisfying by comparison. This is just like people struggling with drug addiction. ____19____ One effective method is to change your food environment. If you keep unhealthy snacks out of sight or simply do not buy them, you reduce the constant temptation. Another powerful strategy is mindful eating — paying full attention to the taste, texture, and smell of each bite. This practice helps your brain relearn to appreciate natural flavors. Understanding the neuroscience of food preference does not mean you are powerless. ____20____ Small, consistent adjustments to your daily habits can gradually help your brain learn to prefer healthier options. The secret is to be patient with yourself instead of being hard on yourself. A. Such preferences can be reversed. B. So what can be done to break this pattern? C. Then how can we control our brain’s reward system? D. Soon, the usual amount no longer brings the same pleasure. E. Fortunately, you can turn this brain science into helpful daily guidance. F. This intense pleasure signal blocks your brain’s natural fullness warning. G. However, the same mechanism now works against us in today’s world of cheap calories. 【答案】16. G 17. F 18. D 19. B 20. E 【解析】 【导语】本文解释了人类偏爱垃圾食品背后的神经科学和进化生物学原理，并提供了相应的应对建议。 【16题详解】 根据空格前的句子“Over millions of years, human brains evolved to seek out high-calorie foods because they provided enough energy for early humans to survive.(数百万年来，人类大脑进化出寻找高热量食物的本能，因为它们能为早期人类提供足够的生存能量。)”可知，前文讲述了大脑在远古时期为了生存而形成的机制。结合空格后文章开始探讨现代食品公司如何利用这一弱点，空格处需要一个转折句来连接远古与现代。G项“However, the same mechanism now works against us in today’s world of cheap calories.(然而，在当今廉价卡路里泛滥的世界里，同样的机制反而对我们不利。)”中的“the same mechanism”完美指代了前文的进化机制，且“However”构成了逻辑转折，符合语境。 【17题详解】 根据空格前的句子“These foods cause a much stronger dopamine (多巴胺) release in the brain than natural foods do.(这些食物会导致大脑释放比天然食物强得多的多巴胺。)”可知，前文提到了高度吸引人的食物会引发强烈的多巴胺释放。结合空格后的句子“As a result, you find yourself reaching for another cookie even when you are not hungry.(结果就是，即使你不饿，你也会发现自己伸手去拿另一块饼干。)”可知，空格处应解释导致“不饿也吃”的原因。F项“This intense pleasure signal blocks your brain’s natural fullness warning.(这种强烈的快乐信号阻断了大脑自然的饱腹感警告。)”中的“This intense pleasure signal”指代前文的“多巴胺释放”，且解释了为何会无视饱腹感，符合语境。 【18题详解】 根据空格前的句子“Long-term exposure to highly appealing foods can actually rewire your brain’s reward circuits.(长期接触高度吸引人的食物实际上会重塑大脑的奖励回路。)”可知，前文提到了大脑的奖励回路发生了改变。结合空格后的句子“At the same time, natural foods like vegetables begin to taste less satisfying by comparison.(与此同时，相比之下，像蔬菜这样的天然食物开始变得不那么令人满足。)”可知，空格处应描述大脑奖励回路被重塑后产生的具体表现。D项“Soon, the usual amount no longer brings the same pleasure.(很快，平常的量就不再带来同样的快乐了。)”正是对“奖励回路被重塑”的具体解释，且与后文“同时”引导的并列现象逻辑连贯，符合语境。 【19题详解】 空格后“One effective method is to change your food environment.(一个有效的方法是改变你的食物环境。)”介绍了改变饮食习惯的具体方法。B选项“So what can be done to break this pattern?(那么，我们能做些什么来打破这种模式呢？)”作为段落主旨句，通过提问引出后文的解决方案，与前文“垃圾食品导致大脑奖励回路重塑”的问题形成呼应，逻辑统领全段。 【20题详解】 空格前“Understanding the neuroscience of food preference does not mean you are powerless.(了解食物偏好的神经科学并不意味着你无能为力。)”点明了了解大脑机制的积极意义。E选项“Fortunately, you can turn this brain science into helpful daily guidance.(幸运的是，你可以将这一脑科学知识转化为实用的日常指导。)”中的“this brain science”指代前文“食物偏好的神经科学”，直接说明了了解大脑机制的作用——转化为日常指导，与后文“对日常习惯进行小而持续的调整，可以逐渐帮助大脑学会更喜欢健康的选择”形成呼应，逻辑衔接紧密。 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。 Our oldest daughter turned 21 this week.

Then it’s Maya this and Maya that until I don’t ever want to hear another word about her. That’s why I wasn’t too excited when Gramma called me to come on over. When I got there, it was worse than expected. There, in Grandpa’s big leather rocking chair, sat Maya, all dressed up and wearing fancy shoes as if she’d just been to a party. “Surprise, Jenny!” Gramma said. “Your cousin Maya and her parents have traveled from the East Coast. Maya gets to stay with us this afternoon.” Gramma chattered (喋喋不休) about how excited she’d been for this surprise reunion, and how cousins ought to get to know each other better. Then, Gramma went off to the kitchen, leaving me stuck in the living room with Maya. I hung my baseball cap in the closet, where my medals sparkled brightly even through the glass windows. I then set my backpack next to my football and cleats (钉鞋), smiling and nodding all the time as if I’d been waiting forever for this chance to spend an afternoon with Maya. She was good at small talk and was chatting about how nice it was to see me again. She was taller than I’d remembered her from her last visit four years ago when we had hours of fun building caves out of Gramma’s pillows. After that, I’d heard about her only through Gramma’s tales. Maya taking piano lessons. Maya learning maths… Now Maya was here, looking great with the latest haircut and a fancy dress. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式作答。 Glancing down at my jeans and my old sneakers, I wished I hadn’t come. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “How do you know all these things about me?” I asked. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Glancing down at my jeans and my old sneakers, I wished I hadn’t come. A rush of shame flooded over me as I compared myself to Maya, who was smarter, prettier, and more talented than I could ever hope to be. The thought of being loved less by Gramma because of her was unbearable. “I hear you like to play football,” Maya’s words crashed through my thoughts. Astonished, I wondered how she knew about my hobby. “I hear you are the captain of your baseball team. Even better, you are always competitive in any sports activities,” she exclaimed, her eyes full of envy and admiration. “How do you know all these things about me?” I asked. A mixture of surprise and suspicion welled up in my mind. After all, we hadn’t been in contact for four years. “Gramma always shares with me your life,” she replied with a knowing smile. It was at that moment that the invisible wall between us collapsed and a precious bond was restored. We spent the whole afternoon talking and laughing and I admired her for more than her excellence in maths and art. I finally realized Gramma was right. We truly got to reconnect and know each other better. 【解析】 【导语】本文以亲情为线索展开，讲述了Jenny因奶奶总夸表妹Maya而心生嫉妒，不愿去奶奶家。一次意外重逢，Jenny见到打扮时髦的Maya，自惭形秽。但Maya透露奶奶也常夸Jenny的体育成就，两人发现彼此羡慕对方，最终消除隔阂，建立起深厚情感。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句可知，第一段可描写Jenny因穿着、才华不如Maya而羞愧，Maya突然夸赞起Jenny的成就，表达自己的赞赏。 ②由第二段首句可知，第二段可描写Maya表示奶奶也常夸Jenny，两人敞开心扉，建立起深厚情感，Jenny意识到奶奶所说的表亲之间要增进感情的意思。 2. 续写线索：Jenny后悔来奶奶家——Jenny因比较而羞愧——Maya夸赞Jenny，表达赞赏——Jenny提问——Maya解答真相——两人敞开心扉相处，Jenny的领悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①回复：reply/respond/answer ②意识到：realize/recognize 情绪类 ①震惊的：astonished/amazed/surprised ②钦佩：admiration/esteem 【点睛】[高分句型1] Astonished, I wondered how she knew about my hobby.

Here are four must-see museums for nature lovers. London Natural History Museum (London, UK) Housing over 80 million specimens, this museum is renowned for its dinosaur gallery and earthquake simulator (模拟器). The museum offers free entry to visitors under ten but charges for special exhibitions. It’s closed on December 24 — 26. Visitors can download a digital guide from its website. American Museum of Natural History (New York, USA) Famous for its dinosaur fossils and the iconic blue whale model, this museum houses over 34 million species and offers virtual tours for students. Its new “Future of Life” exhibition features interactive displays about climate change. Open daily 10am — 5:30pm, except Thanksgiving and Christmas. Free admission for New York City students. Beijing’s National Natural History Museum (Beijing, China) Asia’s largest natural history museum boasts a spectacular dinosaur exhibition and interactive evolution displays. Highlights include a 26-meter-long dinosaur skeleton and immersive biodiversity displays. It is open Tuesday-Sunday (9:00 am-5:00 pm). Tickets must be purchased online in advance. Tokyo’s National Museum of Nature and Science (Tokyo, Japan) First founded in 1877, the museum reopened in 2025 with cutting-edge virtual reality equipment. It has more than 25,000 precious exhibits. The star attractions include full-size dinosaur skeletons and rare fossils of ancient Japanese marine reptiles (爬虫类). It has special family package tickets available only on weekends. And it is closed on Mondays except national holidays. These museums not only preserve our planet’s history but also inspire future generations to protect our natural world. 1.

Were you unable to secure a full-time job?” They imply that something went wrong, or that I was incapable of getting a 9-5 job. A lot of people believe if you don’t get a full-time job out of college, it’s because you couldn’t or you aren’t “good” enough. I’m here to tell you, I don’t care what those people think and you shouldn’t either. With that being said, I wouldn’t suggest taking a random job just to avoid the real world. However, if a job you absolutely love is available, I say go for it. Graduating from college doesn’t mean you want to work from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. every day. If you have an opportunity to work for a company you love, take it. Life is about having fun along the journey so if the right part-time job comes along, take it because it may be a once-in-a-lifetime chance. I was offered a position to work for the Lakers as a part-time corporate partnerships assistant. As soon as I received that offer, I jumped for joy! You can not often get the opportunity to work for the greatest franchise (职业运动队) in sports, so I knew I couldn’t pass up the chance. I turned down several full-time offers to take this job because I wanted to have fun and take advantage of this experience. Not only was I able to work for the Lakers, but I can share this experience with my friends and family who love the Lakers and hearing my stories. In my situation, taking a part-time job gave me the freedom to pursue my entrepreneurial (创业的) desires. Since I would be working a few days a week, I could use the other days to start a business or create a platform to inspire people around the world. Since graduating last May, I’ve worked for the Lakers, developed my relationships in the sports agency world, created Fundamental Mindset and I am completing my first book. 4. What is the author’s attitude to choosing a job? A. Getting a 9-5 job means you have the talent. B. Doing what you love is the best for you. C. A part-time job can help you live a peaceful life. D. Doing a part-time job is a better choice. 5. Which is NOT true about the work for the Lakers? A. The author was more than delighted to get it. B. The author considered it a bridge with friends and family. C. It was worthless to reject some full-time jobs for it. D. It was an unusual work chance in sports. 6. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Writing books is what the author really loves. B. The author has developed great interest in sports. C. The part-time job helps the author earn a lot. D. The part-time job makes the author’s schedule more flexible. 7. What does the author want to say in the text? A. What he did to get a part-time job. B. Why he willingly took a part-time job. C. How he wisely chose his part-time job. D. Where he worked in his spare time. C For around 10,000 years, humans have been cultivating the land to grow crops — but at what cost? Agriculture is to blame for most land degradation, accounting for 80% of deforestation, 23% of greenhouse gas emissions and 70% of global freshwater use. One proposed solution to ease these negative agricultural effects is to utilise the unoccupied space above ground to cultivate crops. Known as vertical farming, this practice adopts layered systems to grow fruits and vegetables in soilless containers, watered either directly at the roots or through substrates like hemp and coconut fibres. Vertical farming reduces the land needed to produce crops and allows farmers to precisely control the light, temperature and nutrients. But is it sustainable? A 2025 study compared the efficiency of lettuce produced in soil to that grown in vertical farms. Their results showed that vertical farms can deliver more than 20 times the yield of field farms and use about eight times less water than water-thirsty land farms in Spain. However, it’s not all good news for vertical farming. The same study also revealed that greenhouse gas emissions remain higher in vertical farming, even when powered by renewable electricity. This was largely due to the carbon-packed “fibre plugs” (纤维插塞) used in place of soil. The researchers suggest that alternative materials, such as coconut coir, could reduce the carbon footprint. The potential of vertical farming lies in light control. While basking in natural sunlight, traditional land crops are exposed to the full spectrum of light. Those grown in controlled vertical farms, however, can be subjected to light wavelengths of a specific colour. Studies have found that blue light helps produce strong, compact leaves and stems, while far-red light can raise lettuce yields by 30% and increase the photosynthesis rate of Chinese kale by 59%. The future of vertical farming may be shaped by further automation. In 2023, China announced the world’s first unmanned vertical plant factory. The 20-storey automated facility controls seeding, cultivation, harvesting and packing without human intervention. AI manages irrigation, nutrient supply and lighting. The facility can produce over ten harvests of green vegetables annually, with lettuce ready every 36 days. “In densely populated cities, plant factories can replenish the city’s daily vegetable supply and improve its self-sufficiency,” said researcher Wang Sen. 8. What does the underlined word “utilise” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Account for. B. Take advantage of. C. Give up. D. Cut down. 9. What can we know about vertical farming? A. It precisely and automatically regulates growing conditions. B. It turns out highly efficient and fully sustainable. C. It achieves higher output with less water consumed. D. Its high emissions entirely result from fibre plugs. 10. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The importance of blue light for leafy vegetables. B. The significance of natural sunlight for crop growth. C. The advantages of vertical farming over field farming. D. The impacts of various light wavelengths on plant growth. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Vertical Farming’s Potentials and Challenges B. The Unseen Benefits of Soilless Crop Cultivation C. The Future of Agriculture Lies in Light Control and AI D. Ways to Make Vertical Farming Fully Environmentally Friendly D Nowadays, thousands of runners and outdoor sports fans choose bone-conduction headphones to enjoy live commentary and music. They refuse fully enclosed in-ear earbuds, because they still need to hear traffic and voices around them for safety. This innovative headphone technology sends music straight into your head without blocking outside sound. The idea of bone-conducting headphones is not new, yet they were still seen as a novelty among buyers until recently. First used widely in hearing aids for people with damaged eardrums, the technology sends sound vibration (震动) through cheekbones directly to the inner ear, skipping the eardrum. Strange as it may sound, it works perfectly when used in earphones. Unlike traditional in-ear buds that plug the ear hole completely, this transmission method relies purely on bone conduction rather than air-borne sound, which makes its sound delivery principle totally unique from common audio headsets. Shokz, an audio equipment maker, has long improved this hardware. The American company has spent over ten years turning exclusive medical technology into popular consumer products, bringing bone conduction into ordinary families. Its research teams kept adjusting the weight and arc design of equipment year after year to fit different sizes of human cheekbones, solving the long-standing problem of slipping during high-intensity workouts. The biggest advantage is the fully open ear canals. Nothing inside the ears blocks surrounding noise. While enjoying music, users can still keep track of their surroundings. That makes it popular with runners, who need to watch out for road risks while exercising. With its simple style and great comfort, the product wins wide praise. To further upgrade user experience, top bone-conduction headsets add active noise cancellation (ANC), a practical extra function matched specially for this device. It creates opposite sound waves to offset (抵消) disturbing noise. With this matched feature built into bone-conduction device, cyclists can focus on music without disturbance on busy city roads, adding another competitive edge to the headset.

Have you ever wondered why a bag of chips is so much more appealing than an apple? The answer lies not in your willpower but in your brain’s ancient reward system. Over millions of years, human brains evolved to seek out high-calorie foods because they provided enough energy for early humans to survive. ____16____ Modern food companies have learned to use this biological weakness. By combining salt, sugar, and fat in precise ratios, they create what scientists call “highly appealing” foods. These foods cause a much stronger dopamine (多巴胺) release in the brain than natural foods do. ____17____ As a result, you find yourself reaching for another cookie even when you are not hungry. That explains why some people lose control facing processed foods. Long-term exposure to highly appealing foods can actually rewire your brain’s reward circuits. ____18____ At the same time, natural foods like vegetables begin to taste less satisfying by comparison. This is just like people struggling with drug addiction. ____19____ One effective method is to change your food environment. If you keep unhealthy snacks out of sight or simply do not buy them, you reduce the constant temptation. Another powerful strategy is mindful eating — paying full attention to the taste, texture, and smell of each bite. This practice helps your brain relearn to appreciate natural flavors. Understanding the neuroscience of food preference does not mean you are powerless. ____20____ Small, consistent adjustments to your daily habits can gradually help your brain learn to prefer healthier options. The secret is to be patient with yourself instead of being hard on yourself. A. Such preferences can be reversed. B. So what can be done to break this pattern? C. Then how can we control our brain’s reward system? D. Soon, the usual amount no longer brings the same pleasure. E. Fortunately, you can turn this brain science into helpful daily guidance. F. This intense pleasure signal blocks your brain’s natural fullness warning. G. However, the same mechanism now works against us in today’s world of cheap calories. 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。 Our oldest daughter turned 21 this week.

Then it’s Maya this and Maya that until I don’t ever want to hear another word about her. That’s why I wasn’t too excited when Gramma called me to come on over. When I got there, it was worse than expected. There, in Grandpa’s big leather rocking chair, sat Maya, all dressed up and wearing fancy shoes as if she’d just been to a party. “Surprise, Jenny!” Gramma said. “Your cousin Maya and her parents have traveled from the East Coast. Maya gets to stay with us this afternoon.” Gramma chattered (喋喋不休) about how excited she’d been for this surprise reunion, and how cousins ought to get to know each other better. Then, Gramma went off to the kitchen, leaving me stuck in the living room with Maya. I hung my baseball cap in the closet, where my medals sparkled brightly even through the glass windows. I then set my backpack next to my football and cleats (钉鞋), smiling and nodding all the time as if I’d been waiting forever for this chance to spend an afternoon with Maya. She was good at small talk and was chatting about how nice it was to see me again. She was taller than I’d remembered her from her last visit four years ago when we had hours of fun building caves out of Gramma’s pillows. After that, I’d heard about her only through Gramma’s tales. Maya taking piano lessons. Maya learning maths… Now Maya was here, looking great with the latest haircut and a fancy dress. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式作答。 Glancing down at my jeans and my old sneakers, I wished I hadn’t come. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “How do you know all these things about me?” I asked. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
