Casual but enthusiastic. D. Persuasive and professional. 【答案】1. B 2. C 3. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。这是一张夏日派对邀请函，主要展示了派对的主题、时间、地点等等相关内容。 【1题详解】 推理判断题。根据“RSVP”的意思是“请回复”以及常识可知，在邀请函中要求被邀请者回复，通常是为了确认对方是否会参加活动。故选B。 【2题详解】 推理判断题。根据常识可知，“NOT TO BE MISSED!”意思是“不容错过！”，在邀请函中使用这样的表达，是为了吸引受邀者，鼓励他们来参加这次派对。故选C。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据邀请函的用词可推测，“Let’s party! It’s hot hot”等语言比较随意、口语化，体现出休闲的氛围；而“NOT TO BE MISSED!”以及“Can't wait to see you!”等表达充满热情，显示出对受邀者参加派对的热切期待。故选C。 B Maya Martinez, a high school senior living in a fog-covered coastal village in North California, noticed that the community garden was gradually drying up during the driest summer on record. While the villagers remained helpless, Maya chose to spend her afternoons carefully observing the thick mist that rolled in from the sea. Maya had already identified a critical fault in traditional fog-collecting mesh nets (网状网): they frequently became blocked by the very water drops they caught, which severely reduced their effectiveness. Digging deeper into solutions, Maya found a novel device designed by two scientists — the “Fog Harp (竖琴)”. Maya decided to use the handy materials to create her own “Fog Harp”. At first, neighbors watched the process with doubt as she strung hundreds of thin, upright wires across a solid wooden frame. To them, the setup looked no more than “a giant musical instrument” that only produced useless sounds in the cold coastal wind. Little did they know this simple-looking setup would soon prove surprisingly effective. The remarkable efficiency of Maya’s Fog Harp lies in its clever use of gravity. In a traditional mesh net, tiny water drops get easily trapped within the small square gaps, which stop further collection. This occurs because the surface tension — the invisible, stretchy “skin” of liquid water — is too strong for the small drops to overcome. In Maya’s Fog Harp, by contrast, water drops hit the wires and slowly combine into larger drops. Most importantly, with no cross wires to hold these larger drops in place, gravity easily overcomes surface tension, allowing the water to slide effortlessly down the wires and collect in a tank below. Of course, the project faced its share of setbacks. During one severe coastal storm, the extreme wind tore through the wooden frame. Yet, instead of giving in to despair, she immediately set out to fix the problem by reinforcing the entire structure with durable steel wires. By the time autumn arrived, Maya’s “Fog Harps” were reliably producing plenty of fresh water every day, partly meeting the daily water needs of the village. 4. Why did Maya observe the thick mist in her afternoons? A. To predict the weather conditions. B. To clarify the reasons for drought. C. To check the efficiency of the mesh nets. D. To work out a solution to water shortage. 5. What can we know about Maya’s “Fog Harp”? A. It was a musical instrument. B. It invited villagers’ acid words. C. It presented an inborn fault. D. It featured a solid metal frame. 6. What is the key for Maya’s Fog Harp to function well? A. Its upright-wire design. B. Its mesh-net structure. C. Its weak surface tension. D. Its resistance to gravity. 7. What can we learn from Maya’s story? A. Look before you leap. B. Better late than never. C. Think outside the box. D. Time waits for no man. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了北加利福尼亚一个沿海村庄的高中生玛雅·马丁内斯面对村庄干旱问题，通过观察海雾，发明了“雾竖琴”来收集淡水，解决了村庄部分用水需求的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Maya Martinez, a high school senior living in a fog-covered coastal village in North California, noticed that the community garden was gradually drying up during the driest summer on record. While the villagers remained helpless, Maya chose to spend her afternoons carefully observing the thick mist that rolled in from the sea.(玛雅·马丁内斯是北加利福尼亚一个被雾笼罩的沿海村庄的一名高中生，她注意到在有记录以来最干旱的夏天，社区花园正在逐渐干涸。当村民们束手无策时，玛雅选择花下午的时间仔细观察从海上滚滚而来的浓雾)”可知，玛雅观察浓雾是为了找出解决缺水问题的方法。故选D项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“At first, neighbors watched the process with doubt as she strung hundreds of thin, upright wires across a solid wooden frame. To them, the setup looked no more than “a giant musical instrument” that only produced useless sounds in the cold coastal wind.(起初，当她在一块结实的木架上挂上数百根细长的竖线时，邻居们怀疑地看着这个过程。对他们来说，这个装置看起来不过是一把“巨大的乐器”，在寒冷的海风中只能发出无用的声音)”可知，邻居们对玛雅的“雾竖琴”持怀疑态度，甚至用酸言酸语来形容它。故选B项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“In Maya’s Fog Harp, by contrast, water drops hit the wires and slowly combine into larger drops. Most importantly, with no cross wires to hold these larger drops in place, gravity easily overcomes surface tension, allowing the water to slide effortlessly down the wires and collect in a tank below.(相比之下，在玛雅的雾竖琴中，水滴撞击电线，慢慢合并成更大的水滴。最重要的是，由于没有交叉的电线来固定这些较大的水滴，重力很容易克服表面张力，使水毫不费力地沿着电线滑下，并收集在下面的水箱中)”可知，玛雅的雾竖琴的关键在于其直立电线的设计，使得水滴能够顺利滑下并被收集。故选A项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，结合第二段中“Maya had already identified a critical fault in traditional fog-collecting mesh nets (网状网): they frequently became blocked by the very water drops they caught, which severely reduced their effectiveness. Digging deeper into solutions, Maya found a novel device designed by two scientists — the “Fog Harp (竖琴)”.(玛雅已经发现了传统雾收集网的一个关键缺陷：它们经常被捕获的水滴堵塞，这严重降低了它们的有效性。深入挖掘解决方案后，玛雅发现了两位科学家设计的一种新型装置——“雾竖琴”)”可知，玛雅没有受传统方法的限制，而是通过观察和思考，发明了新的雾收集装置，这体现了“跳出常规思维”的精神。故选C项。 C Urban green spaces, such as city parks and community gardens, are widely recognized for their role in improving air quality and relieving urban heat islands. However, a recent ecological research highlights their overlooked function in protecting urban biodiversity, which is crucial for maintaining the stability of urban ecosystems. But such hidden ecological value is rarely mentioned in city construction planning reports. With the rapid expansion of cities, many wild species have lost their natural habitats and are forced to move to urban areas. Urban green spaces act as “ecological corridors” that connect isolated green patches, allowing animals to move, find food and mate safely. These spaces provide shelter and food for a variety of species, from birds and insects to small mammals, helping them survive in the man-made urban environment. Researchers conducted a three-year survey in 50 urban green spaces across different cities. They found that green spaces with diverse native plants, rather than uniform foreign plants, host more species and form more complex ecological chains. Even small-scale green spaces, such as rooftop gardens and roadside flower beds, can make a significant difference in supporting urban biodiversity. Every tiny green plot serves as a safe mini habitat for vulnerable urban creatures. Despite their importance, urban green spaces are often under threat from urban development and poor upkeep. Many cities prioritize large-scale construction work over green space protection, leading to the loss of valuable ecological habitats. In addition, few workers regularly water plants, or trim bushes or clear rubbish in city parks, which, consequently, causes too much waste to cover the lawns. Experts appeal that urban planning should give higher priority to building and protecting diverse green spaces, making cities not only suitable for human living but also friendly to all forms of life. 8. What is the newly discovered key function of urban green spaces in the passage? A. Adjusting city climate by cutting temperatures in residential areas. B. Cleaning air and reducing the bad influence of heat islands. C. Protecting various living species in city environments. D. Providing open public land for people’s daily relaxation. 9. What can we infer about isolated green patches without “ecological corridors”? A. These lands can offer enough safe shelters for small mammals. B. These lands cannot guarantee animals’ safe migration and breeding. C. These lands are more likely to form complicated food chains. D. These lands can take the place of big city parks for wildlife protection. 10. What conclusion can we draw from the three-year ecological study? A. Single foreign plant types can support more wildlife varieties. B. Small roof gardens have almost no good influence on biodiversity. C. Growing different native plants helps form richer urban ecological systems. D. Green lands in different cities create the same level of species diversity. 11. The word “upkeep” in the last paragraph most probably means . A. mass unemployment B. daily maintenance C. plant transplant work D. industrial production 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍城市绿地除净化空气、缓解城市热岛效应外，还具备保护城市生物多样性这一被忽视的生态功能，阐述了绿地作为生态廊道的作用、三年调研得出的绿植相关结论，同时指出城市绿地面临开发与养护不足的威胁，并呼吁城市规划重视多元绿地建设。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第一段“However, a recent ecological research highlights their overlooked function in protecting urban biodiversity, which is crucial for maintaining the stability of urban ecosystems.(然而，近期一项生态学研究强调了城市绿地被忽视的功能——保护城市生物多样性，这一功能对维持城市生态系统的稳定至关重要。)”可知，城市绿地新发现的核心功能是保护城市环境中的各类生物物种。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第二段“Urban green spaces act as “ecological corridors” that connect isolated green patches, allowing animals to move, find food and mate safely.(城市绿地充当连接碎片化孤立绿地的“生态廊道”，让动物能够安全迁徙、觅食与繁衍。)”可知，缺少生态廊道的孤立绿地无法保障动物安全迁徙与繁衍。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第三段“They found that green spaces with diverse native plants, rather than uniform foreign plants, host more species and form more complex ecological chains.(他们发现，种植多样本土植物的绿地，而非种植单一外来植物的绿地，能容纳更多物种，形成更复杂的生态链。)”可知，种植多种本土植物有助于构建更丰富的城市生态系统。 【11题详解】 词句猜测题。根据原文最后一段“Despite their importance, urban green spaces are often under threat from urban development and poor upkeep.(尽管城市绿地意义重大，但它们时常遭受城市开发与upkeep不善带来的威胁。)”及“In addition, few workers regularly water plants, or trim bushes or clear rubbish in city parks, which, consequently, causes too much waste to cover the lawns.(此外，很少有工作人员定期给公园植物浇水、修剪灌木、清理垃圾，最终导致大量垃圾覆盖草坪。)”可知，后文浇水、修剪、清理垃圾都属于绿地日常养护工作，因此upkeep意为“日常维护”。 D Exams are nerve-racking, especially for those already of an anxious character. It seems barely surprising that those who worry about taking tests do systematically worse than those who do not. What is, perhaps, surprising, according to research published recently in Psychological Science by Maria Theobald, is that it is not the pressure of the exam hall but the pressure of revision that causes the problem. Dr Theobald theorized that if anxiety was truly interfering with a student’s ability to transfer known information from brain to paper via pen, then those with high levels of it would perform worse in a real exam than in either a mock (模考) beforehand or during online practice sessions. Besides, she expected this performance-drop to correlate with levels of self-reported exam nerves. She therefore worked with 309 German medical students who were preparing for their final state exam, the most important that they take. This test consists of 230 questions split into three five-hour sessions over three days. All her volunteers sat a mock examination, clearly presented to them as such, 40 days before the real thing. To assess their levels of anxiety, they were asked, every day for 40 days in the run-up to the real exam and also on the day of that exam, to respond on a five-point scale to statements like, “I feel tense and nervous.” On the day of the mock they were similarly asked to rate statements like, “I worry whether I have studied enough.” What Dr Theobald found was not what she expected. Anxiety on the day of test did not predict exam performance at all. What did predict it was the level of knowledge a student displayed in the mock exam and the earlier digital-learning activities. Those who performed well in these also did well in the real thing, regardless of how anxious they were on the day. What actually hampered students, it turned out, were high levels of anxiety during the weeks before the exam took place. And this discovery is far-reaching, for it suggests a change of approach to revision by the anxious might help improve their results. Dr Theobald notes that test-anxiety is at its worst when students have low expectations of success and simultaneously (同时地) know that passing the exam is exceedingly important. 12. What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about? A. The theoretical basis. B. The research result. C. The testing assumption. D. The experimental process. 13. What can we infer from the research? A. Anxiety before the exam brings better exam performance. B. Anxiety before the exam restricts students’ ability in exams. C. Anxiety on the day of the test predicts the result of the exam. D. Anxiety on the day of the test intervenes in students’ ability in exams. 14. What is the author’s attitude toward Dr Theobald’s study? A. Favorable. B. Unclear. C. Doubtful. D. Dismissive. 15. What will the following paragraph probably talk about according to the passage? A. How to carry out revision plans scientifically. B. How to reduce test-anxiety when reviewing. C. How to get satisfying scores well in exams. D. How to ease study pressure before tests. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍了一项考试焦虑相关研究，指出影响考试成绩的是备考焦虑而非考场焦虑，并说明该研究的价值与焦虑高发的原因。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Dr Theobald theorized that if anxiety was truly interfering with a student’s ability to transfer known information from brain to paper via pen, then those with high levels of it would perform worse in a real exam than in either a mock (模考) beforehand or during online practice sessions. Besides, she expected this performance-drop to correlate with levels of self-reported exam nerves.(西奥博尔德博士提出理论假设：如果焦虑确实会干扰学生将脑中已知知识通过笔书写到试卷上的能力，那么高度焦虑的学生在正式考试中的表现会比此前模考和线上练习时更差。此外，她推测这种成绩下滑会与学生自述的考试紧张程度相关)”可知，第二段主要介绍了研究者开展实验前的理论假设与猜想。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“What actually hampered students, it turned out, were high levels of anxiety during the weeks before the exam took place.(结果发现，真正阻碍学生发挥的是考试前数周的高度焦虑)”可知，考前的焦虑会限制学生的考试发挥、影响考试表现。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“And this discovery is far-reaching, for it suggests a change of approach to revision by the anxious might help improve their results.(这一发现意义深远，因为它表明焦虑的学生改变复习方式或许有助于提升成绩)”可知，作者认可这项研究的价值，对该研究持支持、赞同的态度。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Dr Theobald notes that test-anxiety is at its worst when students have low expectations of success and simultaneously (同时地) know that passing the exam is exceedingly important.(西奥博尔德博士指出，当学生对考试成功的预期较低，同时又深知通过考试至关重要时，考试焦虑会达到顶峰)”可知，文章结尾落脚于备考阶段的考试焦虑问题，下文最有可能介绍复习时如何缓解考试焦虑。 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。 Income relates to happiness up to a point, but the most enduring research tells a different story. The Harvard Adult Development Study, which has tracked participants for over 80 years, concludes that personal connections — not money — are the true key to fulfillment. Still, the question remains: ____16____ The answer, as usual, is yes and no. To see why, it helps to look at the three broad ways people spend: on things, on experiences, and on becoming. Things Spending on things is always more complicated than it looks. On one hand, meeting basic needs doesn’t usually spark joy, but lacking them is a recipe for unhappiness. Wants, on the other hand, tempt us with the promise of fulfillment. ____17____ Soon after, we return to our baseline. Experiences ____18____ Spending on experiences consistently delivers more moment-to-moment happiness than buying material goods, and the benefit lingers across anticipation, participation and memory. But here too, declining returns creep in. A single luxury trip can feel extraordinary, but repeat it constantly and the sparkle fades. In the end, experiences, like things, lose their impact. Becoming The fading sparkle of things and experiences brings us to the most overlooked and most powerful use of money: spending to become. When you direct resources toward becoming a fuller, more intentional version of yourself, you’re not just chasing pleasure — you’re investing in growth. If you love writing, you might hire a coach. ____19____ When spending fuels purpose and passions, it naturally draws others to you. The Secret Becoming doesn’t require vast sums of money. Growth often begins with small, inexpensive steps. Earning more money does not guarantee happiness. Spending on things and even experiences can offer momentary boosts, but their impact tends to fade. ____20____ A. Can we spend our ways to happiness? B. Does higher spending lead to greater happiness? C. Experience without reflection is just information. D. The most enduring form of spending is on becoming. E. Better than things at bringing lasting joy are experiences. F. It’s about enhancing yourself rather than merely acquiring things. G. Yet material purchases give us only a short-term burst of delight. 【答案】16. A 17. G 18. E 19. F 20. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要探讨三种消费方式和幸福感的关联，对比实物商品消费、体验消费、自我成长型消费后得出结论：能长久带来满足感的核心是投资自我成长的消费，而非实物商品。 【16题详解】 由前文“The Harvard Adult Development Study, which has tracked participants for over 80 years, concludes that personal connections — not money — are the true key to fulfillment.Still, the question remains:(哈佛成人发展研究对参与者进行了80多年的追踪，结论是人际关系——而非金钱——才是获得满足感的真正关键。尽管如此，问题依然存在：)”以及后文“The answer, as usual, is yes and no. To see why, it helps to look at the three broad ways people spend: on things, on experiences, and on becoming.(答案一如既往地是肯定的，也是否定的。要理解原因，不妨看看人们消费的三大方式：实物商品消费、体验消费和自我成长型消费。)”可知，前文引出了金钱与幸福的关系话题，后文给出了对应回答，本空要提出关于消费与幸福的核心问题。选项A表示“我们能通过消费获得幸福吗？”，能承上启下，符合题意。 【17题详解】 由前文“Wants, on the other hand, tempt us with the promise of fulfillment.(另一方面，欲望以带来满足感的承诺诱惑着我们。)”以及后文“Soon after, we return to our baseline.(不久之后，我们就回到了基准线。)”可知，前文阐述了实物商品带来的欲望看似能给予满足，后文说明了快乐很快消退回到原点，本空要指出购买实物商品带来的快乐是短暂的。选项G表示“然而，购买实物商品只能给我们带来短暂的快乐。”，能承上启下，符合题意。 【18题详解】 本题在段首，是该段主旨句。由后文“Spending on experiences consistently delivers more moment-to-moment happiness than buying material goods, and the benefit lingers across anticipation, participation and memory. But here too, declining returns creep in. A single luxury trip can feel extraordinary, but repeat it constantly and the sparkle fades. In the end, experiences, like things, lose their impact.(把钱花在体验上，持续带来更多即时的快乐，胜过购买实物，并且这份益处会延续在期待、参与和回忆各个阶段。但即便在此方面，收益递减效应也会悄然显现。一次奢华旅行或许感觉非同寻常，可不断重复，那份光彩便会褪去。说到底，体验和物品一样，终将失去感染力。)”可知，本段先强调体验消费比实物商品消费更容易产生长久愉悦，再转折说明体验消费的幸福感也无法永久留存，本句需涵盖本段核心对比关系。选项E表示“比实物商品消费更能带来持久快乐的是体验消费。”，能概括本段中心思想，充当段落总起句，符合题意。 【19题详解】 由前文“When you direct resources toward becoming a fuller, more intentional version of yourself, you’re not just chasing pleasure — you’re investing in growth. If you love writing, you might hire a coach.(当你将资源投入到成为一个更充实、更有目标的自己时，你不仅仅是在追求快乐——你是在投资成长。如果你热爱写作，你可以聘请一位辅导教师。)”以及后文“When spending fuels purpose and passions, it naturally draws others to you.(当消费为目标和热情提供动力时，它自然会吸引他人来到你身边。)”可知，前文举例说明自我成长型消费的形式，后文阐述其深层价值，本空要阐释自我成长型消费的本质内涵。选项F表示“这是重在提升自我，而非单纯购置实物商品。”，能承上启下，符合题意。 【20题详解】 由前文“Spending on things and even experiences can offer momentary boosts, but their impact tends to fade.(购置实物商品、体验消费仅能短暂提升幸福感，但二者带来的愉悦感往往会慢慢消退。)”可知，前文否定了前两种消费的持久作用，本空要点明最具持久性的消费类型，总结全文核心观点。选项D表示“最持久的消费形式是自我成长型消费。”，能承接上文，总结全文主旨，符合题意。 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。 For years, self-doubt shadowed me. Its roots stretched back to my autism diagnosis (自闭症的诊断), a time when ____21____ was rare. Teachers puzzled over me, classmates bullied me, and I ____22____ my truth, letting the self-doubt grow heavier. Middle school compounded it: back surgery, failed exams, repeated SAT struggles. Yet beneath these ____23____, a tiny voice insisted, “Keep going.” After three attempts, I finally passed — but ____24____ remained. To solve it, I began ____25____ pouring anger, sadness, hope onto pages. ____26____, feelings I couldn’t speak found shape. I started ____27____ my story: autism, bullying, the fight to believe. With each word, the doubt ____28____. I realized my weaknesses like sensitivity and unique perspective became strengths. After I turned those writings into a book, responses ____29____: readers felt less alone, and opened up their own ____30____, while parents found hope. Then I began to instruct, ____31____ at conferences and connect with others who’d felt humble. In Dubai, after a speech, a shy teen — who communicated through song — stepped up. With my ____32____, he sang of longing for family closeness, his voice raw and beautiful. In that moment, I knew: the ____33____ I once hid had helped someone express theirs. Now, I speak worldwide, but the real ____34____ is knowing someone out there hears my story and thinks, “Maybe I’m not alone.” To anyone ____35____ self-doubt, my advice is: Your voice matters.

Generally通常；B. Recently最近；C. Occasionally偶尔；D. Suddenly突然间。根据前文“For years, self-doubt shadowed me”及“pouring anger, sadness, hope onto pages”可知，作者此前无处抒发内心，开始写作后，情绪瞬间有了宣泄渠道。 【27题详解】 考查动词。句意：我开始分享自己的故事：自闭症、校园霸凌、努力接纳自我的挣扎。A. explaining解释；B. changing改变；C. sharing分享；D. reflecting反思。根据后文“my story: autism, bullying, the fight to believe”可知，作者向外界分享自身经历。 【28题详解】 考查动词。句意：写下的每一个文字，都让我心中的疑虑慢慢减轻。A. continued持续；B. lightened减轻、变轻；C. deepened加深；D. surfaced浮现。根据后文“I realized my weaknesses like sensitivity and unique perspective became strengths”可知，写作让作者不再自我怀疑，疑虑减轻。 【29题详解】 考查动词短语。句意：当我把这些文字整理成书后，大量读者的反馈源源不断涌来：读者们不再觉得自己孤单，纷纷倾诉自己内心的挣扎，家长们也从中看到希望。A. leaked out泄露；B. turned up出现；C. took off起飞、走红；D. poured in大量涌入。根据后文“readers felt less alone”可知，读者来信不断涌来。 【30题详解】 考查名词。句意同上。A. struggles困境、内心挣扎；B. dreams梦想；C. earnings收入；D. complaints抱怨。根据前文“I started   my story: autism, bullying, the fight to believe”可知，作者分享了自己被霸凌、自我怀疑的挣扎经历，读者对应倾诉自身相似的困境与挣扎。 【31题详解】 考查动词。句意：之后我开始开展指导，在各类会议上发表演讲，和那些同样自卑的人建立联结。A. wander闲逛；B. speak演讲、发言；C. defend辩护；D. discuss讨论。根据后文“In Dubai, after a speech”可知，作者在会议上演讲。 【32题详解】 考查名词。句意：在我的鼓励下，他唱出了渴望家人亲密陪伴的心声，嗓音质朴又动人。A. encouragement鼓励；B. treatment治疗；C. assessment评估；D. commitment承诺。根据前文“a shy teen”及后文“he sang of longing for family closeness”可知，少年性格害羞，依靠作者的鼓励才敢于开口歌唱。 【33题详解】 考查名词。句意：就在那一刻，我恍然大悟：我曾经隐藏的心声，如今帮助另一个人勇敢表达出他内心的声音。A. intention意图；B. accent口音；C. pain痛苦；D. voice心声、声音。根据后文“Your voice matters”与此处呼应，指代内心真实的声音、心声。 【34题详解】 考查名词。句意：如今我在世界各地演讲，但真正让我收获满足的是：知道远方有人读完我的故事后会想，“或许我并不是孤身一人”。A. decision决定；B. reward回报、收获；C. purpose目标；D. suggestion建议。根据后文“knowing someone out there hears my story and thinks, “Maybe I’m not alone.””可知，作者出书、演讲的最大收获与精神回报，就是能治愈、陪伴同样深陷自我怀疑的人。 【35题详解】 考查动词。句意：送给每一个与自我怀疑苦苦抗争的人一条建议：你的心声至关重要，把它写下来，勇敢分享出去。A. analyzing分析；B. monitoring监控；C. wrestling奋力对抗、挣扎；D. considering考虑。根据后文“self-doubt”结合作者和自我怀疑不断对抗的经历可知，此处指和自我怀疑不断对抗、苦苦挣扎的人。 第二节(共10小题;每小题1.5分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 For many teenagers, their lives typically might circle around schoolwork and spending time with friends.

Back in my childhood, I would crouch quietly beside his worn wooden workbench, gazing attentively as he meticulously (细致地) cut, polished and carved solid wood with professional tools. Every time, he would spare no effort to craft delicate little wooden toys for me, turning plain wood into vivid artworks with his exceptional craftsmanship. As I was promoted to senior three, the increasingly heavy academic burden completely occupied my daily life. I barely spared any time to accompany my grandfather, let alone sit beside him to appreciate his woodcarving creations. Buried endlessly in piles of textbooks, exercise books and endless homework, I even grew impatient and irritable whenever he approached me softly, urging me to take a break or sip a cup of warm milk. Last month, grandfather was struck down by a sudden illness and confined to bed for a long period. The doctor stressed that he had been overworked mentally and physically, crying for adequate rest and careful nursing. One afternoon, I finished all my homework ahead of schedule and stepped into his study, which used to be filled with the faint, warm scent of wood. To my bitter disappointment, the once tidy workbench was covered with thick dust, and all his well-kept woodworking tools were neatly stored away in silence. On the corner of the dusty workbench lay a half-finished delicate wooden jewelry box, which he had secretly planned to craft as a unique birthday gift for me. Unfortunately, his sudden illness forced him to put down the tools and pause the carving work. 续写要求： 1．所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2．续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 Looking at the unfinished box, I was suddenly lost and rooted to the ground. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With a smile written on his face, he agreed to help me with it. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Paragraph 1: Looking at the unfinished box, I was suddenly lost and rooted to the ground. I felt a strong sense of guilt, regretting my cold attitude towards him these days. I walked quietly to grandfather’s bedroom to visit him. His eyes were closed gently, and his face looked much paler than before, which made my heart twist with deeper guilt. I held his wrinkled hand carefully, feeling the rough touch that had made countless delicate wooden works for me. Sensing my presence, grandfather opened his eyes slowly, forcing a warm smile without any sign of blame. He whispered softly that he hadn’t meant to disturb my busy homework time, just hoping I could stay relaxed. Tears blurred my eyes instantly, and I apologized sincerely for my cold attitude, promising to spend more time with him and urging that I manage the box myself. Paragraph 2: With a smile written on his face, he agreed to help me with it. The next day, I followed my decision to finish the wooden box. I pushed his wheelchair to the warm study and sat beside the dusty workbench, holding the half-finished gift carefully. Under his patient guidance, I tried to polish the wood gently, just like he used to do. Grandfather told me the details of carving with a bright smile, and the whole room was filled with warm wood scent again. It took us two days to complete the wooden box, but what I gained was far more than a delicate gift — it was the precious warmth of family and the true meaning of accompanying our loved ones. 【解析】 【导语】本文以亲情为线索展开，讲述了高三学业繁重导致“我”忽略了酷爱木雕的爷爷，直到爷爷因病卧床，“我”才在他的工作台上发现了一枚本打算送给“我”的未完成的木制首饰盒。面对这份沉甸甸的爱，“我”深感愧疚，决定弥补过往的冷漠，并在爷爷的指导下亲手完成了这件礼物，深刻领悟到了陪伴家人的意义。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句可知，第一段可描写“我”看到半成品后内心的愧疚与反思，以及去探望爷爷时祖孙二人的情感交流。 ②由第二段首句可知，第二段可描写“我”在爷爷的指导下动手雕刻的过程，以及在这个过程中“我”获得的关于爱与陪伴的感悟。 2. 续写线索：发现半成品——内心愧疚——探望爷爷——诚恳道歉——请求合作——爷爷指导——共同完成——感悟升华 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①打扰：disturb/interrupt ②陪伴：accompany sb./keep sb. company 情绪类 ①愧疚：guilt/regret/remorse ②温暖：warmth/coziness/tenderness 【点睛】【高分句型1】His eyes were closed gently, and his face looked much paler than before, which made my heart twist with deeper guilt.

B Maya Martinez, a high school senior living in a fog-covered coastal village in North California, noticed that the community garden was gradually drying up during the driest summer on record. While the villagers remained helpless, Maya chose to spend her afternoons carefully observing the thick mist that rolled in from the sea. Maya had already identified a critical fault in traditional fog-collecting mesh nets (网状网): they frequently became blocked by the very water drops they caught, which severely reduced their effectiveness. Digging deeper into solutions, Maya found a novel device designed by two scientists — the “Fog Harp (竖琴)”. Maya decided to use the handy materials to create her own “Fog Harp”. At first, neighbors watched the process with doubt as she strung hundreds of thin, upright wires across a solid wooden frame. To them, the setup looked no more than “a giant musical instrument” that only produced useless sounds in the cold coastal wind. Little did they know this simple-looking setup would soon prove surprisingly effective. The remarkable efficiency of Maya’s Fog Harp lies in its clever use of gravity. In a traditional mesh net, tiny water drops get easily trapped within the small square gaps, which stop further collection. This occurs because the surface tension — the invisible, stretchy “skin” of liquid water — is too strong for the small drops to overcome. In Maya’s Fog Harp, by contrast, water drops hit the wires and slowly combine into larger drops. Most importantly, with no cross wires to hold these larger drops in place, gravity easily overcomes surface tension, allowing the water to slide effortlessly down the wires and collect in a tank below. Of course, the project faced its share of setbacks. During one severe coastal storm, the extreme wind tore through the wooden frame. Yet, instead of giving in to despair, she immediately set out to fix the problem by reinforcing the entire structure with durable steel wires. By the time autumn arrived, Maya’s “Fog Harps” were reliably producing plenty of fresh water every day, partly meeting the daily water needs of the village. 4. Why did Maya observe the thick mist in her afternoons? A. To predict the weather conditions. B. To clarify the reasons for drought. C. To check the efficiency of the mesh nets. D. To work out a solution to water shortage. 5. What can we know about Maya’s “Fog Harp”? A. It was a musical instrument. B. It invited villagers’ acid words. C. It presented an inborn fault. D. It featured a solid metal frame. 6. What is the key for Maya’s Fog Harp to function well? A. Its upright-wire design. B. Its mesh-net structure. C. Its weak surface tension. D. Its resistance to gravity. 7. What can we learn from Maya’s story? A. Look before you leap. B. Better late than never. C. Think outside the box. D. Time waits for no man. C Urban green spaces, such as city parks and community gardens, are widely recognized for their role in improving air quality and relieving urban heat islands. However, a recent ecological research highlights their overlooked function in protecting urban biodiversity, which is crucial for maintaining the stability of urban ecosystems. But such hidden ecological value is rarely mentioned in city construction planning reports. With the rapid expansion of cities, many wild species have lost their natural habitats and are forced to move to urban areas. Urban green spaces act as “ecological corridors” that connect isolated green patches, allowing animals to move, find food and mate safely. These spaces provide shelter and food for a variety of species, from birds and insects to small mammals, helping them survive in the man-made urban environment. Researchers conducted a three-year survey in 50 urban green spaces across different cities. They found that green spaces with diverse native plants, rather than uniform foreign plants, host more species and form more complex ecological chains. Even small-scale green spaces, such as rooftop gardens and roadside flower beds, can make a significant difference in supporting urban biodiversity. Every tiny green plot serves as a safe mini habitat for vulnerable urban creatures. Despite their importance, urban green spaces are often under threat from urban development and poor upkeep. Many cities prioritize large-scale construction work over green space protection, leading to the loss of valuable ecological habitats. In addition, few workers regularly water plants, or trim bushes or clear rubbish in city parks, which, consequently, causes too much waste to cover the lawns. Experts appeal that urban planning should give higher priority to building and protecting diverse green spaces, making cities not only suitable for human living but also friendly to all forms of life. 8. What is the newly discovered key function of urban green spaces in the passage? A. Adjusting city climate by cutting temperatures in residential areas. B. Cleaning air and reducing the bad influence of heat islands. C. Protecting various living species in city environments. D. Providing open public land for people’s daily relaxation. 9. What can we infer about isolated green patches without “ecological corridors”? A. These lands can offer enough safe shelters for small mammals. B. These lands cannot guarantee animals’ safe migration and breeding. C. These lands are more likely to form complicated food chains. D. These lands can take the place of big city parks for wildlife protection. 10. What conclusion can we draw from the three-year ecological study? A. Single foreign plant types can support more wildlife varieties. B. Small roof gardens have almost no good influence on biodiversity. C. Growing different native plants helps form richer urban ecological systems. D. Green lands in different cities create the same level of species diversity. 11. The word “upkeep” in the last paragraph most probably means . A. mass unemployment B. daily maintenance C. plant transplant work D. industrial production D Exams are nerve-racking, especially for those already of an anxious character. It seems barely surprising that those who worry about taking tests do systematically worse than those who do not. What is, perhaps, surprising, according to research published recently in Psychological Science by Maria Theobald, is that it is not the pressure of the exam hall but the pressure of revision that causes the problem. Dr Theobald theorized that if anxiety was truly interfering with a student’s ability to transfer known information from brain to paper via pen, then those with high levels of it would perform worse in a real exam than in either a mock (模考) beforehand or during online practice sessions. Besides, she expected this performance-drop to correlate with levels of self-reported exam nerves. She therefore worked with 309 German medical students who were preparing for their final state exam, the most important that they take. This test consists of 230 questions split into three five-hour sessions over three days. All her volunteers sat a mock examination, clearly presented to them as such, 40 days before the real thing. To assess their levels of anxiety, they were asked, every day for 40 days in the run-up to the real exam and also on the day of that exam, to respond on a five-point scale to statements like, “I feel tense and nervous.” On the day of the mock they were similarly asked to rate statements like, “I worry whether I have studied enough.” What Dr Theobald found was not what she expected. Anxiety on the day of test did not predict exam performance at all. What did predict it was the level of knowledge a student displayed in the mock exam and the earlier digital-learning activities. Those who performed well in these also did well in the real thing, regardless of how anxious they were on the day. What actually hampered students, it turned out, were high levels of anxiety during the weeks before the exam took place. And this discovery is far-reaching, for it suggests a change of approach to revision by the anxious might help improve their results. Dr Theobald notes that test-anxiety is at its worst when students have low expectations of success and simultaneously (同时地) know that passing the exam is exceedingly important. 12. What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about? A. The theoretical basis. B. The research result. C. The testing assumption. D. The experimental process. 13. What can we infer from the research? A. Anxiety before the exam brings better exam performance. B. Anxiety before the exam restricts students’ ability in exams. C. Anxiety on the day of the test predicts the result of the exam. D. Anxiety on the day of the test intervenes in students’ ability in exams. 14. What is the author’s attitude toward Dr Theobald’s study? A. Favorable. B. Unclear. C. Doubtful. D. Dismissive. 15. What will the following paragraph probably talk about according to the passage? A. How to carry out revision plans scientifically. B. How to reduce test-anxiety when reviewing. C. How to get satisfying scores well in exams. D. How to ease study pressure before tests. 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。 Income relates to happiness up to a point, but the most enduring research tells a different story. The Harvard Adult Development Study, which has tracked participants for over 80 years, concludes that personal connections — not money — are the true key to fulfillment. Still, the question remains: ____16____ The answer, as usual, is yes and no. To see why, it helps to look at the three broad ways people spend: on things, on experiences, and on becoming. Things Spending on things is always more complicated than it looks. On one hand, meeting basic needs doesn’t usually spark joy, but lacking them is a recipe for unhappiness. Wants, on the other hand, tempt us with the promise of fulfillment. ____17____ Soon after, we return to our baseline. Experiences ____18____ Spending on experiences consistently delivers more moment-to-moment happiness than buying material goods, and the benefit lingers across anticipation, participation and memory. But here too, declining returns creep in. A single luxury trip can feel extraordinary, but repeat it constantly and the sparkle fades. In the end, experiences, like things, lose their impact. Becoming The fading sparkle of things and experiences brings us to the most overlooked and most powerful use of money: spending to become.

If you love writing, you might hire a coach. ____19____ When spending fuels purpose and passions, it naturally draws others to you. The Secret Becoming doesn’t require vast sums of money.

Does higher spending lead to greater happiness? C. Experience without reflection is just information. D. The most enduring form of spending is on becoming. E. Better than things at bringing lasting joy are experiences. F. It’s about enhancing yourself rather than merely acquiring things. G. Yet material purchases give us only a short-term burst of delight. 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。 For years, self-doubt shadowed me.

Back in my childhood, I would crouch quietly beside his worn wooden workbench, gazing attentively as he meticulously (细致地) cut, polished and carved solid wood with professional tools. Every time, he would spare no effort to craft delicate little wooden toys for me, turning plain wood into vivid artworks with his exceptional craftsmanship. As I was promoted to senior three, the increasingly heavy academic burden completely occupied my daily life. I barely spared any time to accompany my grandfather, let alone sit beside him to appreciate his woodcarving creations. Buried endlessly in piles of textbooks, exercise books and endless homework, I even grew impatient and irritable whenever he approached me softly, urging me to take a break or sip a cup of warm milk. Last month, grandfather was struck down by a sudden illness and confined to bed for a long period. The doctor stressed that he had been overworked mentally and physically, crying for adequate rest and careful nursing. One afternoon, I finished all my homework ahead of schedule and stepped into his study, which used to be filled with the faint, warm scent of wood. To my bitter disappointment, the once tidy workbench was covered with thick dust, and all his well-kept woodworking tools were neatly stored away in silence. On the corner of the dusty workbench lay a half-finished delicate wooden jewelry box, which he had secretly planned to craft as a unique birthday gift for me. Unfortunately, his sudden illness forced him to put down the tools and pause the carving work. 续写要求： 1．所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2．续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 Looking at the unfinished box, I was suddenly lost and rooted to the ground. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With a smile written on his face, he agreed to help me with it. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
