Julia Hawkins picked up the sport of running at the age of 100. She set a world record in the100-meter dash at the 2017 National Senior Games. At the 2019 National Senior Games, Hawkins won gold medals in both the 50-meter dash and the 100-meter dash in the women’s 100-plus division. At that time, Hawkins was believed to be the oldest woman to compete on an American track, according to the National Senior Games Association. Hawkins told “Good Morning America” in 2019 that she turned to running as an alternative to competitive cycling, a sport in which she also won multiple national titles after picking it up later in life. “I just keep busy. I keep moving,” Hawkins told “GMA” in 2019 about her secret to longevity. “I don’t do any exercises particularly. I used to, but I don’t think I need to anymore.” “I’ve always been careful how I eat, eat healthy and keep my weight at a certain point,” she added. Martens said Hawkins also attributed her longevity to her many hobbies, which included fly fishing, gardening, singing and watching Louisiana State University football. Hawkins’ late husband, who died in 2013 at the age of 95, was a professor at LSU, according to Martens. In 2021, Hawkins ran her last race at the age of 105 in her home state of Louisiana. She set a new record during the race as the only woman in the 105 — 109 age group to run the 100-meter dash. 4. How old was Julia Hawkins when she died? A. 109. B. 108. C. 107. D. 106. 5.

She met her late husband in 2013. B. She struggled to support her family. C. She did many exercises in particular. D. She was skilled at competitive sports. 7. Which word best describes Julia Hawkins? A. Passionate. B. Professional. C. Humble. D. Humorous. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了Julia Hawkins于2024年10月22日在路易斯安那州巴吞鲁日死于一场“非常短暂的疾病”，介绍了其个人经历以及取得的成就。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Julia Hawkins, who was nicknamed “Hurricane”, died on Oct. 22, 2024, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, after a “very short illness,” her daughter, Margaret Martens, confirmed to ABC News.(绰号‘飓风’的朱莉娅·霍金斯的女儿玛格丽特·马滕斯向美国广播公司新闻证实，她于2024年10月22日在路易斯安那州巴吞鲁日死于一场‘非常短暂的疾病’)”以及最后一段“In 2021, Hawkins ran her last race at the age of 105 in her home state of Louisiana.(2021年，霍金斯在105岁时在家乡路易斯安那州参加了她的最后一场比赛)”可知，朱莉娅·霍金斯死时108岁（105+3=108）。故选B。 【5题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Julia Hawkins picked up the sport of running at the age of 100. She set a world record in the100-meter dash at the 2017 National Senior Games. At the 2019 National Senior Games, Hawkins won gold medals in both the 50-meter dash and the 100-meter dash in the women’s 100-plus division. At that time, Hawkins was believed to be the oldest woman to compete on an American track, according to the National Senior Games Association.(朱莉娅·霍金斯在100岁时开始了跑步运动。她在2017年全国老年运动会上创造了100米短跑的世界纪录。在2019年全国老年运动会上，霍金斯在女子100米以上的50米短跑和100米短跑中都获得了金牌。据全国老年运动会协会称，当时，霍金斯被认为是参加美国田径比赛的年龄最大的女性)”可知，第三段主要阐述了霍金斯在跑步方面的成就。故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Hawkins told “Good Morning America” in 2019 that she turned to running as an alternative to competitive cycling, a sport in which she also won multiple national titles after picking it up later in life.(霍金斯在2019年接受《早安美国》采访时表示，她转向跑步，作为竞技自行车的替代选择。后来，她开始参加这项运动，并赢得了多个全国冠军)”可知，霍金斯擅长竞技体育。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Martens said Hawkins also attributed her longevity to her many hobbies, which included fly fishing, gardening, singing and watching Louisiana State University football.(马滕斯说，霍金斯还将她的长寿归功于她的许多爱好，包括飞蝇钓鱼、园艺、唱歌和观看路易斯安那州立大学的橄榄球赛)”可知，朱莉娅·霍金斯对生活充满激情。故选A。 C Since Glacier (冰川) National Park's creation, it has represented the spiritual treasure ofAmericans with its breathtaking landscapes. But today, climate warming threatens the very emblem of the park, leaving it facing a future in which its name could be cruel ironies(讽刺). Deep within Glacier National Park, visitors are now met with an amazing sight: a peaceful lake of pale blue water lying among towering peaks. Beautiful as it is, the very presence of this lake is not desired by people. Just a few decades ago, this landscape was entirely frozen. Now the glacier itself is reduced to taking up a small area, sheltered from theSun at the edge of the lake created through its own melting(融化). The park has already lost 60 percent of its namesake glaciers since the 1850s, and scientists predict their complete disappearance by the century's end. Families from all over theUS and abroad flood to these natural wonders to create memories that will last. Conserving the national park is one of the rare issues that brings political opponents together in the US. With tens of millions of visitors to these sites every year, it is also an economic necessity. The US government recently announced considerable funds to help. This has issued a challenge to the identity of National Park Service, a US agency brought into existence by a 1916 law that called for the preservation of those treasured sites pristine(处于原始状态的) for the enjoyment of future generations. “ But it's now pretty clear that it's not achievable in many places,” admits John Gross, an ecologist with the National Park Service climate change response program.“ It's certainly possible that the park could lose the iconic feature for which it has been named.” The climate crisis has thus brought about a shift in the organization's philosophy: It's acceptable to change a park's natural state to stop its further worsening. 8. What does the underlined word“emblem” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Symbol. B. Location. C. Recovery. D. Construction. 9. Why is the new lake in the park mentioned? A. To highlight the economic value of the park. B. To serve as evidence of the warming climate. C. To explain the process of glacier formation. D. To describe a new popular tourist attraction. 10. What can be learned about the National Park Service? A. It mainly allows for economic benefits. B. It shows confidence in restoring the park. C. It is forced to adjust its protection principle. D. It is taking measures to limit visitor numbers. 11. Which can be the best title for the text? A. A New Idea for Park Conservation B. A Park Is Economically on Thin Ice C. A Political Agreement on Renaming a Park D. A Park Might Be at Risk of Redefining Itself 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍冰川国家公园因气候变暖导致冰川大量消融，面临名称名不副实的危机，以及美国国家公园管理局保护理念的转变。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中的“Since Glacier National Park's creation, it has represented the spiritual treasure of Americans with its breathtaking landscapes. But today, climate warming threatens the very emblem of the park, leaving it facing a future in which its name could be cruel ironies.(自冰川国家公园建立以来，其令人叹为观止的景观便一直是美国人的精神瑰宝。但如今，气候变暖正威胁着这座公园的核心象征，使其未来可能面临名称沦为残酷讽刺的境地。)”可知，“emblem”与前文“represented”相呼应，结合后文“冰川消失导致名称讽刺”，可推断“emblem”指公园的核心“象征”。故选A项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Just a few decades ago, this landscape was entirely frozen. Now the glacier itself is reduced to taking up a small area, sheltered from the Sun at the edge of the lake created through its own melting.(就在几十年前，这片土地还完全被冰雪覆盖。如今，冰川本身已缩小至一小块区域，躲在由自身融水形成的湖岸边缘，避开阳光照射。)”可知，作者提及新形成的湖泊，是为了通过“冰川消融→湖泊形成”的具体现象，证明气候变暖对公园的影响，即作为气候变暖的证据。故选B项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“This has issued a challenge to the identity of National Park Service, a US agency brought into existence by a 1916 law that called for the preservation of those treasured sites pristine(处于原始状态的) for the enjoyment of future generations.(这一现状对美国国家公园管理局的核心使命构成了挑战。该机构依据 1916 年的一项法律成立，该法律要求将这些珍贵遗址保持原始状态，以供后代享用)”以及最后一段“The climate crisis has thus brought about a shift in the organization's philosophy: It's acceptable to change a park's natural state to stop its further worsening.(因此，气候危机导致该组织的理念发生了转变：为阻止公园进一步恶化，改变其原始状态是可接受的。)”可知，国家公园管理局原本坚持“保持原始状态”的保护原则，如今因气候危机被迫调整其保护原则。故选C项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，根据第一段“Since Glacier (冰川) National Park's creation, it has represented the spiritual treasure ofAmericans with its breathtaking landscapes. But today, climate warming threatens the very emblem of the park, leaving it facing a future in which its name could be cruel ironies(讽刺).(自冰川国家公园建立以来，其令人叹为观止的景观便一直是美国人的精神瑰宝。但如今，气候变暖正威胁着这座公园的核心象征，使其未来可能面临名称沦为残酷讽刺的境地)”短文围绕“冰川国家公园因气候变暖导致冰川消融，名称可能名不副实，管理局被迫调整保护理念”展开。D项“公园可能面临自我定义的危机”为最佳标题。故选D项。 D Artificial intelligence (AI) is showing promise in earthquake prediction, challenging the long-held belief that it is impossible. Researchers at the University of Texas have developed an AI algorithm (算法) that correctly predicted 70% of earthquakes a week in advance during a trial in China and provided accurate calculations for the predicted earthquakes. The research team believes their method succeeded because they stuck with a relatively simple machine learning approach. The AI was provided with a set of statistical features based on the team’s knowledge of earthquake physics, and then instructed to train itself using a five-year database of earthquake recordings. Once trained, the AI provided its prediction by listening for signs of upcoming earthquakes within the background rumblings (隆隆声) in the Earth. This work is clearly a milestone in research for AI-driven earthquake prediction. “You don’t see earthquakes coming,” explains Alexandros, a senior research scientist who leads the Texas Seismological Network Program (Tex Net). “It’s a matter of life and death, and the only thing you can control is how prepared you are. Even with the 70% accuracy, that’s a huge result and could help reduce economic and human losses and has the potential to significantly improve earthquake preparation worldwide.” While it is unknown whether the same approach will work at other locations, the researchers are confident that their AI algorithm could produce more accurate predictions if used in areas with reliable earthquake tracking networks. Therefore, the next step is to test artificial intelligence in Texas, since UT’s Bureau Tex Net has 300 earthquake stations and over six years’ worth of continuous records, making it an ideal location for these purposes. Eventually, the authors hope to combine the system with physics-based models. This way could prove especially important where data is poor or lacking. “That may be a long way off, but many advances such as this one, taken together, are what moves science forward,” concludes Scott Tinker, the bureau’s director. 12. How does the AI forecast earthquakes? A. By identifying data from the satellites. B. By analyzing background sounds in the Earth. C. By modeling data based on earthquake recordings D. By monitoring changes in the Earth’s magnetic field. 13. What does Alexandros intend to show in paragraph 3? A. The ways to reduce losses in earthquakes. B. The importance of preparing for earthquakes. C. The significance of developing the AI prediction. D. The limitation of AI algorithms in earthquake prediction. 14. What does the follow-up research focus on? A. Conducting tests in the location of Texas. B. Building more earthquake stations in Texas. C. Train the AI calculation accuracy. D. Applying the AI approach to other fields. 15. Which words can best describe the earthquake-predicting technology? A. Stable but outdated. B. Effective but costly. C. Potential and economical. D. Advanced and promising. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍了一款人工智能算法可提前一周预测七成地震，该技术意义重大，研究团队下一步将在得州开展试验，未来还计划结合物理模型完善这套预测系统。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Once trained, the AI provided its prediction by listening for signs of upcoming earthquakes within the background rumblings (隆隆声) in the Earth.(完成训练后，这款人工智能通过在地底背景隆隆声中捕捉地震前兆来做出预测。)”可知，人工智能通过分析地球内部的背景声响预测地震。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Even with the 70% accuracy, that’s a huge result and could help reduce economic and human losses and has the potential to significantly improve earthquake preparation worldwide.(即便准确率仅有七成，这也是一项重大成果，能够帮助减少经济损失和人员伤亡，还有潜力大幅提升全球的防震准备工作。)”可知，亚历山卓的这段话重在说明这套人工智能预测系统的重大价值与意义。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Therefore, the next step is to test artificial intelligence in Texas, since UT’s Bureau Tex Net has 300 earthquake stations and over six years’ worth of continuous records, making it an ideal location for these purposes.(因此，下一步研究工作将在得克萨斯州测试这套人工智能，得州大学地震监测网络拥有300个地震监测站和六年多连续监测数据，是开展试验的理想地点。)”可知，后续研究重点是在得克萨斯地区开展测试。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Artificial intelligence (AI) is showing promise in earthquake prediction, challenging the long-held belief that it is impossible.(人工智能在地震预测领域展现出良好前景，颠覆了长久以来人们认为地震无法预测的固有认知。)”以及第三段“This work is clearly a milestone in research for AI-driven earthquake prediction.(这项研究无疑是人工智能地震预测领域的里程碑。)”可知，a milestone代表技术先进，show promise代表前景可观，因此这项预测技术先进且富有发展潜力。 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. Small Talk: More Than Just Chit-Chat People often complain about small talk, describing it as “painful” or “dishonest”. ___16___ However, this common opinion fails to recognize the true value of small talk in our daily interactions. As a matter of fact, small talk serves as an essential social “safety zone”. ___17___ According to etiquette expert Lizzie Post, discussing light topics like hobbies or recent events establishes initial harmony. This foundation makes it easier to transition to more substantial conversations later, whether in a work setting or a new friendship. Some argue that small talk is boring, but this often reflects poor communication skills rather than a flaw in the activity itself. Effective small talk requires genuine engagement. ___18___ This means putting away your phone, making eye contact, and actively turning into the other person’s reactions. If they lean in and smile at a topic, you can explore it further; if they glance away or give short answers, politely shift to a new topic or invite them to share their own perspective. ___19___ During a two-hour flight, I began with simple talk about travel plans with my seatmate. Gradually, both of us felt more comfortable opening up to each other. This casual start eventually led to a meaningful discussion about life changes and personal growth. We reached this depth precisely because we started with accessible, low-pressure topics. Small talk isn’t about being superficial — it’s a practical social tool that facilitates human connection. ___20___ In fact, it smooths our daily social encounters and opens doors to deeper conversations that might never occur otherwise. Without these simple, everyday exchanges, our social interactions would feel much more awkward and less satisfying. A. Its value, however, is often overlooked. B. It demands full presence and careful observation of the other person. C. They generally claim it lacks depth and avoids meaningful topics. D. Consider this real-life example from my own experience. E. Good small talk depends on more than just the words you say. F. Without proper skills, small talk can feel shallow and forced. G. It creates a comfortable atmosphere before deep conversations begin. 【答案】16. C 17. G 18. B 19. D 20. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要阐述闲聊并非空谈，拥有重要社交价值。 【16题详解】 上文“People often complain about small talk, describing it as “painful” or “dishonest”. (人们常常抱怨闲聊，称它令人煎熬或是虚情假意)”点明人们对闲聊的负面看法，下文“However, this common opinion fails to recognize the true value of small talk (然而这种普遍看法忽视了闲聊的真正价值)”转折引出闲聊的价值。空处延续人们的负面观点，C选项“They generally claim it lacks depth and avoids meaningful topics. (他们大多声称闲聊缺少深度、避开有意义的话题)”承接上文抱怨内容，和下文转折逻辑匹配。 【17题详解】 上文“As a matter of fact, small talk serves as an essential social “safety zone”. (事实上闲聊是重要的社交安全区)”提出闲聊的作用，下文“According to etiquette expert Lizzie Post, discussing light topics like hobbies or recent events establishes initial harmony. This foundation makes it easier to transition to more substantial conversations later, whether in a work setting or a new friendship. (礼仪专家Lizzie Post表示，聊聊爱好、近期趣事这类轻松话题能初步营造融洽氛围。有了这份铺垫，日后无论是职场往来还是结交新朋友，都更容易过渡到更有实质内容的深入交谈)”举例说明闲聊铺垫融洽氛围、便于后续深入交谈。G选项“It creates a comfortable atmosphere before deep conversations begin. (它在深度对话开始前营造轻松氛围)”承接上文“safety zone”，引出下文铺垫交谈的具体作用。 【18题详解】 上文“Effective small talk requires genuine engagement. (高质量闲聊需要真诚投入)”点明有效闲聊的要求，下文“This means putting away your phone, making eye contact, and actively turning into the other person’s reactions. (这意味着要收起你的手机，进行眼神交流，并积极关注对方的反应)”是对空处内容的具体解释。B选项“It demands full presence and careful observation of the other person. (它需要全身心投入、细心观察对方)”总领下文细节解释，符合语境。 【19题详解】 下文“During a two-hour flight, I began with simple talk about travel plans with my seatmate. Gradually, both of us felt more comfortable opening up to each other. This casual start eventually led to a meaningful discussion about life changes and personal growth. (在一次两小时的航程中，我和邻座从聊聊出行计划这类简单闲谈开始。慢慢地，我们二人愈发放松，愿意向彼此敞开心扉。这场随性的开场白最终演变成一场关于人生变迁与个人成长的走心畅谈)”用第一人称叙述亲身经历。空处应是从理论转向实例的过渡句。D选项“Consider this real-life example from my own experience. (来看一段我亲身经历的实例)”总起整段事例内容，衔接上下文。 【20题详解】 上文“Small talk isn’t about being superficial — it’s a practical social tool that facilitates human connection. (闲聊并非流于表面，是助力人际交往的实用社交工具)”点明闲聊的正面价值，下文“In fact, it smooths our daily social encounters and opens doors to deeper conversations that might never occur otherwise. (事实上，闲聊能让我们日常的社交往来变得顺畅，还为深入交流创造契机，倘若没有闲聊，这些深度对话原本无从发生)”进一步阐述其实际作用。空处应与上文正面论述形成对比，再由下文转折回正面。A选项“Its value, however, is often overlooked. (但它的价值常常被忽略)”转折衔接，既呼应开篇人们的偏见，又引出下文闲聊的实际用处。 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。 On Valentine’s Day, one month before my 50th birthday, I ran my first ultramarathon (超级马拉松).

He had just finished trying out for Oakwood High School’s basketball team, and he knew making it to the team was a pretty sure thing. After all, he wasn’t just good — he was excellent. Basketball ran in the family — his older brother Reggie was now playing at a top college, and Mark was expected to follow in his brother’s footsteps. But Mark had a secret: his heart was in another sport. Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Mark jumped on a bus heading home. Through the window, his eyes were drawn to the field where cheerleaders (啦啦队)danced effortlessly. He couldn’t look away. For months now, cheerleading had been on his mind. Reaching into his bookbag, he pulled out a poster: CHEERLEADER AUDITIONS (选拔). This was what he really wanted. Mark knew pursuing cheerleading wouldn’t just be a physical challenge. His family had poured so much hope into his basketball future. But he was tired of living in his brother’s shadow. He was ready to carve his own path. Six months ago, Mark once told his best friend Darren about his dream. “Cheerleading is girly,” Darren said. “You’re so good at basketball. Why throw that away?” Mark stood his ground. “This is where I want to put my strength,” he insisted. Over time, Darren began to understand and support him. Still, Mark kept his passion hidden from his family. Secretly, Mark trained with two cheerleaders. Cheerleading didn’t come naturally — every move demanded more than basketball ever had. But month by month, he improved. Maybe, just maybe, he stood a chance of making it to the cheerleading team. But right now, after his basketball tryout, he had to face his family. As soon as Mark arrived home, his parents were at the door. “So…?” his father asked. “The tryout? It went well.” Mark replied, staring at his feet. Everyone in the family was smiling…except Mark. Still, he knew what had to be done. 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。 Gathering courage, Mark announced, “I don’t want to play basketball anymore.” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A week later, it was time for the cheerleader audition. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Gathering courage, Mark announced, “I don’t want to play basketball anymore.” The smiles on his parents’ faces froze instantly. “What do you mean?” his father asked in surprise. Taking a deep breath, Mark explained that his true passion was cheerleading although he was good at basketball. The room fell silent. His parents exchanged confused looks, struggling to understand. Mark felt his heart pounding but continued, saying he had been training for months. Just when the tension seemed unbearable, his mother finally spoke gently, “If this is what you really love, you deserve a chance — and we’ll always stand by you.” His father hesitated, then nodded slowly. A week later, it was time for the cheerleader audition. Standing on the field, Mark felt a mix of nervousness and excitement. Remembering the countless hours of practice, he pushed aside his doubts and focused on every move. When the music started, he jumped, turned and lifted with confidence. His strength and determination impressed the judges and the crowd. When the results were announced, Mark heard his name among those selected. At that moment, he spotted his parents in the stands, clapping proudly. He realized that by following his heart, he had finally stepped out of his brother’s shadow and started his own journey. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了马克篮球天赋出众，家人期望他追随哥哥的脚步打篮球，可他内心热爱啦啦队，一直秘密训练，在篮球试训结束后，决心向家人坦白，追寻自己真正热爱的事业的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写 ① 由第一段首句“马克鼓起勇气宣布：‘我不想再打篮球了。’”可知，接下来可描写家人听到这句话后的反应，马克坦白自己热爱啦啦队以及秘密训练的事实，最终获得家人的理解与支持。 ② 由第二段首句“一周后，到了啦啦队选拔的日子。”可知，接下来可描写马克选拔时的紧张与坚定，展现他训练后的成果，选拔过程中的表现，以及最终成功入选、看到家人为他骄傲的场景。 2. 续写线索 向家人坦白不想打篮球的决定——家人的惊讶与疑惑——马克说明热爱啦啦队及秘密训练的事实——家人给予理解与支持——啦啦队选拔现场的紧张与坚定——成功入选，家人为其骄傲——实现自我，走出哥哥的阴影 3.词类激活 行为类 ①询问：ask/inquire ②支持：stand by/support ③回忆：remember/recall ④宣布：announce/declare 情绪类 ①困惑的：confused/puzzled ②兴奋：excitement/thrill ③紧张，焦虑：nervousness/anxiety 【点睛】【高分句型1】Taking a deep breath, Mark explained that his true passion was cheerleading although he was good at basketball. （运用了现在分词taking...作状语以及although引导让步状语从句） 【高分句型2】Just when the tension seemed unbearable, his mother finally spoke gently, “If this is what you really love, you deserve a chance — and we’ll always stand by you.”（运用了when引导时间状语从句，if引导条件状语从句和what引导表语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 濮阳市一高2024级高三上学期第一次质量检测 英语试题 （时间：120分钟 满分：150分） 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 1.

B Julia Hawkins, who was nicknamed “Hurricane”, died on Oct. 22, 2024, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, after a “very short illness,” her daughter, Margaret Martens, confirmed to ABC News. “She had quite a run,” Martens said of the extraordinary life of her mom, who is survived by her four children as well as three grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. Julia Hawkins picked up the sport of running at the age of 100. She set a world record in the100-meter dash at the 2017 National Senior Games. At the 2019 National Senior Games, Hawkins won gold medals in both the 50-meter dash and the 100-meter dash in the women’s 100-plus division. At that time, Hawkins was believed to be the oldest woman to compete on an American track, according to the National Senior Games Association. Hawkins told “Good Morning America” in 2019 that she turned to running as an alternative to competitive cycling, a sport in which she also won multiple national titles after picking it up later in life. “I just keep busy. I keep moving,” Hawkins told “GMA” in 2019 about her secret to longevity. “I don’t do any exercises particularly. I used to, but I don’t think I need to anymore.” “I’ve always been careful how I eat, eat healthy and keep my weight at a certain point,” she added. Martens said Hawkins also attributed her longevity to her many hobbies, which included fly fishing, gardening, singing and watching Louisiana State University football. Hawkins’ late husband, who died in 2013 at the age of 95, was a professor at LSU, according to Martens. In 2021, Hawkins ran her last race at the age of 105 in her home state of Louisiana. She set a new record during the race as the only woman in the 105 — 109 age group to run the 100-meter dash. 4. How old was Julia Hawkins when she died? A. 109. B. 108. C. 107. D. 106. 5.

She met her late husband in 2013. B. She struggled to support her family. C. She did many exercises in particular. D. She was skilled at competitive sports. 7. Which word best describes Julia Hawkins? A. Passionate. B. Professional. C. Humble. D. Humorous. C Since Glacier (冰川) National Park's creation, it has represented the spiritual treasure ofAmericans with its breathtaking landscapes. But today, climate warming threatens the very emblem of the park, leaving it facing a future in which its name could be cruel ironies(讽刺). Deep within Glacier National Park, visitors are now met with an amazing sight: a peaceful lake of pale blue water lying among towering peaks. Beautiful as it is, the very presence of this lake is not desired by people. Just a few decades ago, this landscape was entirely frozen. Now the glacier itself is reduced to taking up a small area, sheltered from theSun at the edge of the lake created through its own melting(融化). The park has already lost 60 percent of its namesake glaciers since the 1850s, and scientists predict their complete disappearance by the century's end. Families from all over theUS and abroad flood to these natural wonders to create memories that will last. Conserving the national park is one of the rare issues that brings political opponents together in the US. With tens of millions of visitors to these sites every year, it is also an economic necessity. The US government recently announced considerable funds to help. This has issued a challenge to the identity of National Park Service, a US agency brought into existence by a 1916 law that called for the preservation of those treasured sites pristine(处于原始状态的) for the enjoyment of future generations. “ But it's now pretty clear that it's not achievable in many places,” admits John Gross, an ecologist with the National Park Service climate change response program.“ It's certainly possible that the park could lose the iconic feature for which it has been named.” The climate crisis has thus brought about a shift in the organization's philosophy: It's acceptable to change a park's natural state to stop its further worsening. 8. What does the underlined word“emblem” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Symbol. B. Location. C. Recovery. D. Construction. 9. Why is the new lake in the park mentioned? A. To highlight the economic value of the park. B. To serve as evidence of the warming climate. C. To explain the process of glacier formation. D. To describe a new popular tourist attraction. 10. What can be learned about the National Park Service? A. It mainly allows for economic benefits. B. It shows confidence in restoring the park. C. It is forced to adjust its protection principle. D. It is taking measures to limit visitor numbers. 11. Which can be the best title for the text? A. A New Idea for Park Conservation B. A Park Is Economically on Thin Ice C. A Political Agreement on Renaming a Park D. A Park Might Be at Risk of Redefining Itself D Artificial intelligence (AI) is showing promise in earthquake prediction, challenging the long-held belief that it is impossible. Researchers at the University of Texas have developed an AI algorithm (算法) that correctly predicted 70% of earthquakes a week in advance during a trial in China and provided accurate calculations for the predicted earthquakes. The research team believes their method succeeded because they stuck with a relatively simple machine learning approach. The AI was provided with a set of statistical features based on the team’s knowledge of earthquake physics, and then instructed to train itself using a five-year database of earthquake recordings. Once trained, the AI provided its prediction by listening for signs of upcoming earthquakes within the background rumblings (隆隆声) in the Earth. This work is clearly a milestone in research for AI-driven earthquake prediction. “You don’t see earthquakes coming,” explains Alexandros, a senior research scientist who leads the Texas Seismological Network Program (Tex Net). “It’s a matter of life and death, and the only thing you can control is how prepared you are. Even with the 70% accuracy, that’s a huge result and could help reduce economic and human losses and has the potential to significantly improve earthquake preparation worldwide.” While it is unknown whether the same approach will work at other locations, the researchers are confident that their AI algorithm could produce more accurate predictions if used in areas with reliable earthquake tracking networks. Therefore, the next step is to test artificial intelligence in Texas, since UT’s Bureau Tex Net has 300 earthquake stations and over six years’ worth of continuous records, making it an ideal location for these purposes. Eventually, the authors hope to combine the system with physics-based models. This way could prove especially important where data is poor or lacking. “That may be a long way off, but many advances such as this one, taken together, are what moves science forward,” concludes Scott Tinker, the bureau’s director. 12. How does the AI forecast earthquakes? A. By identifying data from the satellites. B. By analyzing background sounds in the Earth. C. By modeling data based on earthquake recordings D. By monitoring changes in the Earth’s magnetic field. 13. What does Alexandros intend to show in paragraph 3? A. The ways to reduce losses in earthquakes. B. The importance of preparing for earthquakes. C. The significance of developing the AI prediction. D. The limitation of AI algorithms in earthquake prediction. 14. What does the follow-up research focus on? A. Conducting tests in the location of Texas. B. Building more earthquake stations in Texas. C. Train the AI calculation accuracy. D. Applying the AI approach to other fields. 15. Which words can best describe the earthquake-predicting technology? A. Stable but outdated. B. Effective but costly. C. Potential and economical. D.

As a matter of fact, small talk serves as an essential social “safety zone”. ___17___ According to etiquette expert Lizzie Post, discussing light topics like hobbies or recent events establishes initial harmony. This foundation makes it easier to transition to more substantial conversations later, whether in a work setting or a new friendship. Some argue that small talk is boring, but this often reflects poor communication skills rather than a flaw in the activity itself. Effective small talk requires genuine engagement. ___18___ This means putting away your phone, making eye contact, and actively turning into the other person’s reactions. If they lean in and smile at a topic, you can explore it further; if they glance away or give short answers, politely shift to a new topic or invite them to share their own perspective. ___19___ During a two-hour flight, I began with simple talk about travel plans with my seatmate. Gradually, both of us felt more comfortable opening up to each other. This casual start eventually led to a meaningful discussion about life changes and personal growth. We reached this depth precisely because we started with accessible, low-pressure topics. Small talk isn’t about being superficial — it’s a practical social tool that facilitates human connection. ___20___ In fact, it smooths our daily social encounters and opens doors to deeper conversations that might never occur otherwise. Without these simple, everyday exchanges, our social interactions would feel much more awkward and less satisfying. A. Its value, however, is often overlooked. B. It demands full presence and careful observation of the other person. C. They generally claim it lacks depth and avoids meaningful topics. D. Consider this real-life example from my own experience. E. Good small talk depends on more than just the words you say. F. Without proper skills, small talk can feel shallow and forced. G. It creates a comfortable atmosphere before deep conversations begin. 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。 On Valentine’s Day, one month before my 50th birthday, I ran my first ultramarathon (超级马拉松).

He had just finished trying out for Oakwood High School’s basketball team, and he knew making it to the team was a pretty sure thing. After all, he wasn’t just good — he was excellent. Basketball ran in the family — his older brother Reggie was now playing at a top college, and Mark was expected to follow in his brother’s footsteps. But Mark had a secret: his heart was in another sport. Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Mark jumped on a bus heading home. Through the window, his eyes were drawn to the field where cheerleaders (啦啦队)danced effortlessly. He couldn’t look away. For months now, cheerleading had been on his mind. Reaching into his bookbag, he pulled out a poster: CHEERLEADER AUDITIONS (选拔). This was what he really wanted. Mark knew pursuing cheerleading wouldn’t just be a physical challenge. His family had poured so much hope into his basketball future. But he was tired of living in his brother’s shadow. He was ready to carve his own path. Six months ago, Mark once told his best friend Darren about his dream. “Cheerleading is girly,” Darren said. “You’re so good at basketball. Why throw that away?” Mark stood his ground. “This is where I want to put my strength,” he insisted. Over time, Darren began to understand and support him. Still, Mark kept his passion hidden from his family. Secretly, Mark trained with two cheerleaders. Cheerleading didn’t come naturally — every move demanded more than basketball ever had. But month by month, he improved. Maybe, just maybe, he stood a chance of making it to the cheerleading team. But right now, after his basketball tryout, he had to face his family. As soon as Mark arrived home, his parents were at the door. “So…?” his father asked. “The tryout? It went well.” Mark replied, staring at his feet. Everyone in the family was smiling…except Mark. Still, he knew what had to be done. 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。 Gathering courage, Mark announced, “I don’t want to play basketball anymore.” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A week later, it was time for the cheerleader audition. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
