Jacob Sattelmair from Harvard University has done a study into how much exercise is needed to lower the risk of heart attacks. M: Hmm, interesting. W: The study showed that people who put in 300 minutes a week of exercise had a 20% lower risk of death due to heart disease. Still, the people who exercised 150 minutes a week did pretty well too, lowering their death risk by 14%. M: And what about the people who exercise half as much as that, like what I probably do? Does that help? W: Of course, even 15 minutes would help. 听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 18. What did the scientists do to the road? A. They repaired it. B. They painted it. C.

C 【解析】 【原文】W: Here is a piece of news for bird lovers. Scientists have painted a long road, red, yellow and white. They hope to discourage the seabirds from wandering onto the highway. The area is home to large crowds of birds that come to stay for the season. Young birds are often attracted to the warm road surface and get killed by the traffic, biology student, Hannah tells the broadcaster. The youngster’s feathers are brown in color. The dark colored road surface makes the youngsters hard to be noticed. As the number of tourists has grown, so has the amount of traffic on the roads. Biologist Kristin says the plan is to see how the birds respond to the multicolored road this summer. And if it works, the idea could spread to other parts of the country. 第二部分 阅读（共2节，满分60分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题3分，满分45分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Are you fascinated by UNESCO World Heritage Sites?

(它由莫卧儿皇帝沙贾汗于1632年建造，以纪念他心爱的妻子蒙泰姬·玛哈尔)”可知，泰姬陵是为了纪念一位皇帝的妻子而建造的。故选A。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Angkor Wat, Cambodia部分“Angkor Wat, part of the ancient Khmer Empire’s capital, is the world’s largest religious structure. Originally a Hindu temple for Vishnu (吴哥窟是古代高棉帝国首都的一部分，是世界上最大的宗教建筑。最初是供奉毗湿奴的印度教寺庙)”以及Acropolis of Athens, Greece部分“The Acropolis of Athens is an enduring symbol of Classical Greece. The crown jewel of this hilltop castle is the Parthenon, a former temple dedicated to the worship of Athena in ancient Greek religion. (雅典卫城是古典希腊的永恒象征。这座山顶城堡的皇冠上的明珠是帕特农神庙，这是一座供奉古希腊宗教中雅典娜的古庙)”可知，吴哥窟和雅典卫城最初都是宗教建筑。故选C。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据The Great Wall, China部分“The best-preserved sections near Beijing, constructed with bricks and stone, display watchtowers and strategic passes.

I’d never heard of it, but all of the other options were sequels (续集) or Christmas movies. Flow had a great trailer (预告片), excellent reviews, and won many awards. I was told. It is about the adventures of a black cat, a yellow dog, and several other animals that band together to survive a catastrophic flood. There are no people in the film. In fact, there is no dialogue at all in the hour and a half. You would think that a movie without any human characters or dialogue would be boring. Well, Flow is anything BUT. On the contrary, I was often on the edge of my seat, terrified for the danger these little guys faced. They’re constantly escaping enemies and rising water. Eventually, our black cat finds himself in a new land. At the start of the movie he is alone, but by the end he is surrounded by new friends. What, if anything, does this movie “mean”? Clearly, one of the basic themes is unity — different species that initially don’t get along eventually learn to help each other survive. But I think the fact that humans are completely absent seems intentional. The animals pass through run-down, abandoned towns, implying that humanity may have been wiped out by a disaster. Combined with the flood, this suggests a metaphor about climate change and sea level rise. The movie’s metaphors are subtle: water is an ever-present symbol in the film, and it is constantly flowing forward, pushing the action and our characters. With the title literally named Flow, temporariness seems to be the main message: things constantly changing, the world moves on. We often can’t control storms of life. What we can control are our own actions. You can choose to fight the current or go with it and make the best of what you find down river. Or it could mean something else completely different to you! Like the best poems, this movie is open to multiple interpretations. 24. What initially motivated the author to watch the film Flow? A. Recommendations from strangers. B. Its positive reception and many awards. C. Curiosity about an unknown movie. D. Its unique theme concerning animals. 25. Which of the following is a distinctive feature of Flow? A. It involves more than human characters. B. It contains no spoken dialogue. C. It is a short animation within 90 minutes. D. It is primarily a Christmas-themed story. 26. In the author’s opinion, what does humans’ absence from the film imply? A. The loss of humanity. B. The difficulty of survival. C. The unpredictability of life. D. The unity of diverse species. 27. Where is the text probably from? A. A textbook on animation. B. An eco-tour journal. C. An editorial on global warming. D. An entertainment website. 【答案】24. B 25. B 26. A 27. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了作者观看拉脱维亚动画电影《Flow》的感受及对影片隐喻的解读。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Flow had a great trailer, excellent reviews, and won many awards. I was told.(Flow有精彩的预告片、极佳的口碑，还斩获了许多奖项。我是听说的)”可知，作者最初是被这部电影的良好反响和众多奖项所吸引才去观看的。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“In fact, there is no dialogue at all in the hour and a half.(事实上，在这一个半小时里，电影完全没有对白)”可知，没有任何口头对话是该片最鲜明的特色。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“The animals pass through run-down, abandoned towns, implying that humanity may have been wiped out by a disaster.(动物们穿过了破败荒废的城镇，暗示人类可能已被一场灾难消灭)”可知，作者认为人类在影片中的缺席暗示了人类的覆灭。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据全文内容，文章记录了作者周末观影的选择、亲身感受以及对电影寓意的个性化解读，语气亲切自然，属于典型的个人影评，最可能出自娱乐网站。 C Researchers at the University of Padua in Italy have traced the origins of one of Venice’s most long-lasting signs: the bronze winged lion that stands on the top of a column in St Mark’s Square. Long believed to be a Venetian creation, the sculpture is determined to come from the Yangzi River basin in China. The lion systematically reflects Chinese artistic traditions. For example, the position of its paws matches that of ancient Chinese lion guardians, originally fierce protectors of tombs. Researchers propose that Marco Polo may have acquired the sculpture, a gift from the Yuan Dynasty emperor, and later brought it back to Venice. A Chinese burial guardian thus became a silent witness to the vast cultural exchanges. In China, the lion holds an important symbolic role even though the animals have never lived there in the wild. From palaces to the gates of private homes and even modern banks, pairs of stone lions still stand guard. Real lions began arriving in China via the Silk Road, sent as foreign offerings from Central Asian states to emperors of the Han Dynasty. By the Tang Dynasty, lions were already features of the cultural imagination. Over the centuries, their style evolved: Tang figures often walk energetically, Song examples soften into playful scenes, while later lions sit low in calm dignity. large and completely still. The lion’s influence also extended into popular culture. The lion dance combined martial arts, acrobatics (杂技) and drama into a brilliant performance. Performed at public celebrations, the dance represented strength, luck and the driving away of evil spirits. Today, it remains a beloved festive event across China and throughout overseas Chinese communities. From foreign gift animal to sacred guardian, from sculpted icon to dynamic performer, the lion in China reflects a unique blend of folk inspiration and artistic imagination. In Italy, the bronze lion still gazes over Venice, standing as a reminder of the global networks linking East Asia and Europe long before the modern age, and of how symbols travel, transform and last across civilizations. 28. What is the researchers’ discovery about the bronze lion? A. It originated in China. B. It was made by Venetians. C. It stood as Venice’s symbol. D. It was bought by Marco Polo. 29. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. Lions’ origin and traditional role. B. Lions’ images and historic significance. C. Lions’ spread and cultural influence. D. Lions’ introduction and stylistic evolution. 30. What is the lion dance viewed as today? A. A memorial ceremony. B. A form of martial arts training. C. A traditional celebration. D. An intercultural collaboration. 31. What can we learn from the bronze lion’s existence in Italy? A. Venice served as an ancient trade center. B. The bronze lion symbolized Venice’s history. C. Ancient China exported lion statues widely. D. Cultural exchanges existed earlier than assumed. 【答案】28. A 29. D 30. C 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍威尼斯圣马可广场的青铜飞狮经研究被确定源自中国长江流域，同时讲述狮子在中国的传入、演变及文化意义，见证古代东西方的文化交流。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Researchers at the University of Padua in Italy have traced the origins of one of Venice’s most long-lasting signs: the bronze winged lion that stands on the top of a column in St Mark’s Square. Long believed to be a Venetian creation, the sculpture is determined to come from the Yangzi River basin in China.(意大利帕多瓦大学的研究人员追溯了威尼斯最具持久性的标志之一——矗立在圣马可广场一根柱子顶端的青铜飞狮的起源。这座雕塑长期被认为是威尼斯人的作品，如今被确定来自中国长江流域。)”可知，研究人员通过研究追溯了青铜飞狮的起源，打破了其是威尼斯人创作的传统认知，明确其起源地是中国长江流域，因此研究人员关于青铜狮子的发现是它起源于中国。故选A项。 【29题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段中的“Real lions began arriving in China via the Silk Road, sent as foreign offerings from Central Asian states to emperors of the Han Dynasty. By the Tang Dynasty, lions were already features of the cultural imagination. Over the centuries, their style evolved: Tang figures often walk energetically, Song examples soften into playful scenes, while later lions sit low in calm dignity, large and completely still.(真狮子开始经丝绸之路传入中国，是中亚各国作为贡品送给汉朝皇帝的。到了唐代，狮子已经成为文化意象的一部分。几个世纪以来，它们的风格不断演变：唐代的狮子形象通常姿态矫健、充满活力，宋代的狮子形象变得柔和，呈现出嬉戏的场景，而后来的狮子则低坐着，神情沉静庄重，体型庞大且纹丝不动。)”可知，第四段先明确了狮子传入中国的途径和背景，随后按照时间顺序详细介绍了狮子形象风格的演变过程，因此该段主要讲述的是狮子的传入及其风格演变。故选D项。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“The lion dance combined martial arts, acrobatics (杂技) and drama into a brilliant performance. Performed at public celebrations, the dance represented strength, luck and the driving away of evil spirits. Today, it remains a beloved festive event across China and throughout overseas Chinese communities. (舞狮将武术、杂技和戏剧融合成一场精彩的表演。它在公共庆典上表演，象征着力量、好运和驱邪。如今，它在中国各地及海外华人社区仍是深受喜爱的节庆活动。)”可知，舞狮原本是在公共庆典上表演、具有特定象征意义的活动，如今依然是中国及海外华人社区深受喜爱的节庆活动，因此如今舞狮被看作一种传统庆祝活动。故选C项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段中的“In Italy, the bronze lion still gazes over Venice, standing as a reminder of the global networks linking East Asia and Europe long before the modern age, and of how symbols travel, transform and last across civilizations.(在意大利，这尊青铜狮子依然凝视着威尼斯，它提醒着人们，早在现代社会之前，连接东亚与欧洲的全球交流网络就已存在，也提醒着人们，象征物如何跨越文明传播、演变并延续下去。)”可知，这尊源自中国的青铜狮子出现在意大利威尼斯，证明了早在现代社会之前，东亚和欧洲之间就已经存在连接彼此的交流网络，也就意味着东西方的文化交流比人们原本假设的时间更早，因此从这尊青铜狮子在意大利的存在，我们可以得知文化交流的存在早于人们的设想。故选D项。 D Using artificial intelligence to create artworks increases artists’ productivity and generates more positive reactions, according to a study involving submissions to a popular art-sharing website by more than 50,000 users. But generative AI works are more likely to display stereotypical (刻板印象的) themes, reducing the novelty of an artist’s work. The researchers tracked 4 million works published on the website by the artists. The artists self-divided into two groups: those who continued to work using traditional methods — a sort of control group, and those who adopted AI. The latter group, numbering about 5,800, were identified by the use of tags (标签) on their work, such as “AI-generated” or the names of the AI tools. Works posted into AI art communities on the site were also included. Artists who adopted AI tools saw their productivity measured by the number of works posted increase by 25 percent over the study period. They also saw a 50 percent rise in the number of “favourites” their work received over six months. But novelty, measured by the subject matter and specific details of the work, decreased for the AI-using group. “The study completely tracks with my own experience with these tools and spaces,” says Andres Guadamuz at the University of Sussex, UK. “At first, it felt that you could do anything, bring anything in your head into existence, but the more I used them, the more I kept coming back to themes I liked.” Guadamuz points out that he isn’t judging the quality of the images produced by generative AI nor their originality, nor the creativity involved in the process. All these things are often hotly contested, with some artists saying that generative AI is using their works as training data and limiting their ability to be recognized as creatives. Zhou at Boston University is also considering these questions. He says, “The generative technology accelerates the ability to produce. But it raises other issues: Are we foregoing the process of understanding what goes into being creative and producing something meaningful, in favour of just being able to brute force our way with technology?” 32. What do we know about the artworks created by AI according to paragraph 1? A. They are abundant but less creative. B. They are generative but less popular. C. They balance popularity with artistic depth. D. They attract viewers with the trendy subjects. 33. How was the study conducted? A. By surveying artists’ opinions on AI tools using. B. By analyzing suggestions on generative AI works. C. By comparing artworks with different AI involvement. D. By observing the process of AI-assisted artistic creation. 34. What can be inferred from Guadamuz’s statement? A. AI tools help artists explore new creative styles. B. AI users receive more recognition for their creativity. C. Artists believe AI improves the quality of their artworks. D. Artists may repeat themes they like when using AI tools. 35. What is the best title for the text? A. The Unstoppable Rise of AI Artworks. B. The Breakthrough of AI in Artistic Creation. C. The Role of AI in Artistic Productivity. D. The Double-Edged Sword of AI in Artworks. 【答案】32. A 33. C 34. D 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一项关于使用人工智能创作艺术作品的研究，表明人工智能能提高艺术家的创作效率和作品受欢迎程度，但也会降低作品的新颖性，揭示了人工智能在艺术创作中的双刃剑作用。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Using artificial intelligence to create artworks increases artists’ productivity and generates more positive reactions, according to a study involving submissions to a popular art-sharing website by more than 50,000 users. But generative AI works are more likely to display stereotypical (刻板印象的) themes, reducing the novelty of an artist’s work.(一项涉及 5 万多名用户向一个流行的艺术分享网站提交作品的研究表明，使用人工智能创作艺术作品可以提高艺术家的创作效率，并引发更多积极的反应。但生成式人工智能作品更有可能展示刻板印象的主题，降低了艺术家作品的新颖性)”可知，人工智能创作的艺术作品数量增多（提高了创作效率），但由于展示刻板印象的主题，所以创造性有所降低。故选A。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“The researchers tracked 4 million works published on the website by the artists. The artists self-divided into two groups: those who continued to work using traditional methods — a sort of control group, and those who adopted AI. The latter group, numbering about 5,800, were identified by the use of tags (标签) on their work, such as “AI-generated” or the names of the AI tools. Works posted into AI art communities on the site were also included.(研究人员追踪了艺术家们在该网站上发布的 400 万件作品。艺术家们自行分为两组：一组是继续使用传统方法创作的人——这有点像对照组，另一组是采用人工智能创作的人。后一组大约有 5800 人，通过他们作品上的标签来识别，比如 “人工智能生成” 或人工智能工具的名称。发布在该网站人工智能艺术社区的作品也包括在内)”以及第三段对两组作品在创作效率、受欢迎程度和新颖性等方面的对比可知，这项研究是通过比较有不同人工智能参与度的艺术作品来进行的。故选C。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的““The study completely tracks with my own experience with these tools and spaces,” says Andres Guadamuz at the University of Sussex, UK. “At first, it felt that you could do anything, bring anything in your head into existence, but the more I used them, the more I kept coming back to themes I liked.”(英国苏塞克斯大学的安德烈斯・瓜达穆兹说：“这项研究与我自己使用这些工具和创作空间的经历完全相符。一开始，感觉你可以做任何事情，把你脑海中的任何东西都变成现实，但我使用得越多，就越会回到我喜欢的主题上。”)”可知，从瓜达穆兹的话中可以推断出，艺术家在使用人工智能工具时可能会重复他们喜欢的主题。故选D。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Using artificial intelligence to create artworks increases artists’ productivity and generates more positive reactions, according to a study involving submissions to a popular art-sharing website by more than 50,000 users. But generative AI works are more likely to display stereotypical (刻板印象的) themes, reducing the novelty of an artist’s work.(一项涉及 5 万多名用户向一个流行的艺术分享网站提交作品的研究表明，使用人工智能创作艺术作品可以提高艺术家的创作效率，并引发更多积极的反应。但生成式人工智能作品更有可能展示刻板印象的主题，降低了艺术家作品的新颖性)”可知，文章既提到了人工智能在艺术创作中能提高创作效率和受欢迎程度的积极作用，也指出了它会降低作品新颖性的消极影响，体现了人工智能在艺术创作中的利和弊，所以题目“人工智能在艺术作品中的双刃剑”概括了文章的主题，适合作为最佳标题。故选D。 第二节 （共5小题；每小题3分，满分15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。 Illeism: The Ancient Trick to Help You Think More Wisely As a writer specialising in psychology, I’ve come across hundreds of evidence-based tips for better thinking. Few have proven as useful to me as the ancient strategy of illeism. Put simply, illeism is the practice of talking about oneself in the third person rather than the first person. ____36____ In the emperor Julius Caesar’s account of the Gallic War, for example, he wrote “Caesar avenged the public” rather than “I avenged the public”. To the modern ear, illeism can sound a little silly or self-important. ____37____ If we are trying to make a difficult decision, speaking about ourselves in the third person can help to reduce the emotions that could lead our thinking off track, allowing us to find a wiser solution to our problem. ____38____ This is because when making personal choices, we become too caught up in our emotions, which cloud our thinking and prevent us from putting our issues in perspective. If we have received negative feedback from a colleague, for example, our feeling of embarrassment might lead us to become overly self-defensive. By switching to the third person, our descriptions of the situation will start to sound as if we are talking about someone else rather than ourselves. ____39____ By encouraging us to put our problems in perspective, the use of illeism may also help us to have a more balanced response to daily stresses. Next time you face a challenging situation, try referring to yourself as “he” or “she” instead of “I”. ____40____ A. Try this technique. B. Politicians often use this method. C. This creates helpful distance from emotions. D. So why do emotions affect our decisions so much? E. Yet research shows illeism brings real thinking benefits. F. However, lack of objectivity can be problematic when choosing. G. You might be surprised at how much clearer your thinking becomes. 【答案】36. B 37. E 38. D 39. C 40. G 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了“第三人称自我指称（illeism）”这一古老策略，阐述其如何帮助人们减少情绪干扰、更明智地思考问题。 【36题详解】 根据上文“Put simply, illeism is the practice of talking about oneself in the third person rather than the first person.(简单来说，illeism是用第三人称而非第一人称谈论自己的做法)”可推知，此处需要对illeism进行举例说明。B选项“Politicians often use this method.(政客经常使用这种方法)”中的this method指代上文的illeism，且与下文凯撒的例子形成呼应。 【37题详解】 根据上文“To the modern ear, illeism can sound a little silly or self-important. (对现代人来说，illeism听起来有点傻或自以为是)”可推知，上文提出了对illeism的负面看法，下文“If we are trying to make a difficult decision, speaking about ourselves in the third person can help to reduce the emotions that could lead our thinking off track, allowing us to find a wiser solution to our problem.(当我们试图做出艰难决定时，用第三人称谈论自己有助于减少那些可能使我们思维偏离正轨的情绪，从而帮助我们找到更明智的解决方案)”则转向其积极作用。E选项“Yet research shows illeism brings real thinking benefits.(然而研究表明illeism能带来真正的思维益处)”用Yet转折，承上启下。 【38题详解】 根据下文“This is because when making personal choices, we become too caught up in our emotions, which cloud our thinking and prevent us from putting our issues in perspective.(这是因为在做个人选择时，我们太陷入情绪中，情绪模糊了我们的思维，阻止我们客观看待问题)”可推知，下文This is because（这是因为）引导原因解释，说明人做决定时容易被情绪裹挟、蒙蔽理智。D选项“So why do emotions affect our decisions so much?(那为何情绪会大幅左右我们的抉择？)”提出疑问, 引出下文对情绪干扰决策的解释。 【39题详解】 根据上文“By switching to the third person, our descriptions of the situation will start to sound as if we are talking about someone else rather than ourselves.(通过切换到第三人称，我们对情况的描述开始听起来像是在谈论别人而非自己)”可推知，此处需要说明这种切换带来的效果。C选项“This creates helpful distance from emotions.(这有助于与情绪保持适当的距离)”中的This指代上文切换到第三人称的做法，且与下文“put our problems in perspective(把我们的问题放在正确的视角下来看)”形成逻辑衔接。故选C。 【40题详解】 根据上文“Next time you face a challenging situation, try referring to yourself as “he” or “she” instead of “I”. (下次当你遇到困难时，试着用“他”或“她”来称呼自己，而不是“我”)”可推知，此处是对读者的建议，下文应说明尝试后的效果。G选项“You might be surprised at how much clearer your thinking becomes.(你可能会惊讶于你的思维变得多么清晰)”是对尝试该技巧后积极结果的预期，作为文章结尾自然收束。 第三部分 语言运用（共2节，满分50分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分） I still remember the day I bought my “nice” notebook.

I started to ____46____ it with everything: morning pages, random thoughts and reminders. This is surprisingly ____47____. I actually wrote. Every day. Without exception. The psychology is real. When we ____48____ something too much, we place limits around it, feeling it is “too good”. But the ugly notebook carries no such ____49____. It has been used. It tells me, “This is a ____50____ for thinking and living, not a museum piece.” Here’s the thing: ____51____ notebooks are idea incubators (孵化器). With the pressure off, you experiment more. You try things that might ____52____. And in that freedom, bad ideas I was ____53____ embarrassed about gradually evolved into work I’m proud of. And that’s where the real work of creation happens. The best notebook is never the most beautiful one. It’s the one you’ll actually ____54____. Because the magic happens in the ____55____, not in perfect pages. Your ugly notebook is waiting. 41.

C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了作者因笔记本太精美反而不敢用，转而用丑笔记本每天坚持写作，揭示了不完美的工具才是创作的最佳选择。 【41题详解】 考查动词。句意：我确信它会让我成为一个经常写日记、记录美妙想法的人。A. changes改变；B. captures捕捉，记录；C. follows跟随；D. lacks缺乏。根据下文“beautiful thoughts”可知，写日记是为了记录想法。 【42题详解】 考查形容词。句意：那本漂亮的笔记本原封不动地放了好几个月。A. unfinished未完成的；B. unclaimed无人认领的；C. undiscovered未被发现的；D. untouched未触碰的。根据下文“When I finally opened it, I hesitated.”可知，作者迟迟没有打开，说明笔记本一直未被使用。 【43题详解】 考查形容词。句意：纸张感觉太精致、太珍贵了，不能浪费在我潦草的字迹和想法上。A. secret秘密的；B. smart聪明的；C. precious珍贵的；D. personal个人的。根据上文“too delicate”和下文“waste on my messy handwriting and ideas”可知，此处表达纸张太珍贵不舍得用，precious与delicate并列，语意一致。 【44题详解】 考查动词。句意：所以我把它合上了。A. closed关闭，合上；B. decorated装饰；C. delivered递送；D. fixed修理。根据上文“I hesitated”和下文“Instead, I grabbed an old, ugly composition notebook”可知，作者舍不得使用这本漂亮的本子，合上了它。 【45题详解】 考查形容词。句意：取而代之，我拿起一本破旧的作文本，封面破损，页角也卷了边。A. torn破损的；B. hard硬的；C. hidden隐藏的；D. fancy花哨的。根据上文“ugly”和下文“dog-eared corners”可知，这本本子外观破旧，封面有破损。 【46题详解】 考查动词。句意：我开始在上面写满各种内容：晨间随笔、突发想法和提醒。A. guard守卫；B. surround包围；C. fill填满；D. serve服务。根据下文“morning pages, random thoughts and reminders”可知，作者在笔记本上写满了各种内容，fill...with...意为“用……填满……”。 【47题详解】 考查形容词。句意：这出乎意料地让人感到自由。A. annoying令人烦恼的；B. freeing令人自由的；C. demanding要求高的；D. convincing令人信服的。根据下文“I actually wrote. Every day. Without exception.”可知，用丑笔记本反而让作者每天都写，没有压力，这是一种自由的感觉。 【48题详解】 考查动词。句意：当我们太欣赏某样东西时，我们会在它周围设限，觉得它“太好了”。A. plan计划；B. doubt怀疑；C. control控制；D. admire欣赏。根据上文“The pages felt too delicate and too to waste on my messy handwriting and ideas.”和下文“feeling it is “too good””可知，正是因为太欣赏、太珍视某样东西，才会不敢使用它。 【49题详解】 考查名词。句意：但丑笔记本没有这样的压力。A. luck运气；B. warning警告；C. protest抗议；D. pressure压力。根据上文“we place limits around it”和下文“With the pressure off”可知，精美本子让人有心理负担，而旧本子没有这类压力。 【50题详解】 考查名词。句意：这是一个用来思考和生活的工具，不是博物馆的展品。A. tool工具；B. test测试；C. guide指南；D. reason理由。根据下文“for thinking and living, not a museum piece”可知，笔记本是用来使用的工具，而非摆设。 【51题详解】 考查形容词。句意：事实是，不完美的笔记本才是创意的孵化器。A. incomplete不完整的；B. impractical不实用的；C. imperfect不完美的；D. irregular不规则的。根据上文“I grabbed an old, ugly composition notebook with a cover and dog-eared corners”及全文主题可知，全文围绕破旧、不精致的本子展开，此处指不完美的笔记本。 【52题详解】 考查动词。句意：你会尝试那些可能失败的事情。A. cheat欺骗；B. fail失败；C. hurt伤害；D. disappear消失。根据上文“With the pressure off, you experiment more”可知，没有压力后敢于尝试，人们敢于尝试哪怕会失败的想法。 【53题详解】 考查副词。句意：在那种自由中，我最初感到尴尬的糟糕想法逐渐变成了我引以为豪的作品。A. slightly稍微；B. initially最初；C. hardly几乎不；D. consequently因此。根据下文“gradually evolved into”可知，此处与gradually形成时间对比，表示最初尴尬，后来变成了骄傲。 【54题详解】 考查动词短语。句意：而是你真正会伸手去用的那本。A. run into偶遇；B. refer to参考；C. look at看；D. reach for伸手去拿。根据上文“I grabbed an old, ugly composition notebook”可知，作者强调的是真正会去使用的笔记本，reach for表示“伸手去拿”。 【55题详解】 考查动词。句意：因为魔法发生在书写中，而不是完美的页面上。A. preparing准备；B. thinking思考；C. writing书写；D. reading阅读。根据下文“not in perfect pages”和全文主题可知，作者强调的是在笔记本上书写的过程才是最重要的，writing与perfect pages形成对比。 第二节 （共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分） 阅读下列短文，根据短文内容或括号内所给词的恰当形式填空。 At the Temple of Heaven, 73-year-old Li Shuyun stands tall, her arms rising slowly above her head in a smooth movement, then stretching outward, hands open as though hugging the sky. The calming practice of baduanjin, ____56____ ancient Chinese form of exercise, fills the air ____57____ a sense of peace and focus. Graceful eight movements are designed to strengthen and balance the body’s energy, also known as qi in Chinese philosophy. Dating back to the Song Dynasty, this practice is gaining new popularity especially among younger generations of Chinese ____58____ (face) the pressures of modern life. Ruan Yize, a 25-year-old PhD student, started practicing baduanjin in 2014, ____59____ (original) for fitness. After a sports ____60____ (injure) in 2017, however, the young man realized ____61____ (it) true power. “It’s not just about physical fitness — it helps with mental health and emotional balance,” he said. Unlike tough workouts or difficult gym programmes, baduanjin ____62____ (combine) slow, soft movements with deep breathing and mental focus. And the best part is that no special equipment or a lot of space ____63____ (require), making it a perfect practice for busy city residents. This is evidenced by the practice’s rise among younger people, many of ____64____ live inactive lifestyles and are continually pressured by office stress. Whether practiced in a quiet living room ____65____ an open park, baduanjin offers a moment of calm balance in a busy world. 【答案】56. an 57. with 58. facing 59. originally 60. injury 61. its 62. combines 63. is required 64. whom 65. or 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍中国传统健身功法八段锦的功效、发展历史，以及它在当代年轻人中愈发流行的原因。 【56题详解】 考查冠词。句意：令人心神安宁的八段锦，一种中国古老的健身方式，让空气中弥漫着宁静与专注的气息。form是可数名词单数，此处表泛指“一种方式”，应用不定冠词修饰，且ancient的读音是以元音音素开头，故用an。 【57题详解】 考查介词。句意同上。fill...with...表示“使……充满……”，是固定搭配。 【58题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：这项可追溯至宋代的健身方式重新流行起来，尤其是在面临现代生活压力的中国年轻一代当中。分析句子结构，本句已有谓语is gaining，故此处是非谓语形式；逻辑主语younger generations of Chinese与face是主动关系，应用现在分词facing作后置定语。 【59题详解】 考查副词。句意：25岁博士生Ruan Yize从2014年开始练习八段锦，最初只是为了强身健体。此处修饰介词短语for fitness，需要副词作状语，original的副词形式是originally 表示“最初，起先”。 【60题详解】 考查名词。句意：然而，在2017年一次运动受伤之后，这位年轻人体会到了它真正的力量。冠词a后接名词，injure是动词，其名词形式 injury 意为“损伤，伤害”，sports injury表示“运动损伤”，是固定搭配。 【61题详解】 考查代词。句意同上。此处修饰名词短语true power，需用形容词性物主代词，指代baduanjin，故用its。 【62题详解】 考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：和高强度锻炼、高难度健身房课程不同，八段锦将舒缓柔和的动作与深呼吸、精神专注结合在一起。主语baduanjin为单数概念，本句陈述客观事实，使用一般现在时，故此处谓语动词用第三人称单数形式combines。 【63题详解】 考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。句意：最好的部分是，它不需要特殊器械，也不需要很大空间，这让它成为忙碌城市居民绝佳的锻炼选择。陈述客观事实，应用一般现在时；or连接并列主语时谓语遵循就近原则，即与靠近它的名词保持一致，靠近谓语的部分是space（不可数名词），故谓语动词用单数形式，且主语与require之间是被动关系，使用一般现在时的被动语态，故用is required。 【64题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：这项锻炼在年轻人中流行就是佐证；他们当中很多人生活缺乏运动，还持续承受职场压力。分析句子结构，many of _______ live inactive lifestyles and are continually pressured by office stress是定语从句，先行词为younger people，指人，在从句中作介词of的宾语，空处只能用whom，many of whom表示“他们当中许多人”，引导非限制性定语从句。 【65题详解】 考查固定搭配。句意：无论是在安静客厅，还是在开阔公园练习，八段锦都能在忙碌世界中带来片刻的平和与平衡。whether...or...意为“无论……还是……”，是固定搭配，符合语境。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 66. 假定你是李华，你的英国朋友Tom来信询问你的职业规划。请你给他回复一封电子邮件，内容包括： 1. 目标职业及原因 2. 目前做的准备 注意：词数80词左右。 Dear Tom, _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Tom, Thanks for your letter.

Every evening, he carefully held the watering can as his grandfather showed him how to pour just the right amount on each plant. “These plants need us, Asher,” Grandpa often said. “If we take care of them, they will take care of us.” Asher loved plants. He loved their bright green leaves, the way they danced in the wind, and how fresh they smelled after rain. Plants made him feel calm and safe. But when it came to people, Asher was not so confident. At school, he was one of the quietest kids. While others laughed and played loudly, he often sat alone, unsure how to join them. One afternoon during break, Asher walked past the big oak tree (橡树) near the playground. A group of kids stood nearby, pulling leaves from its lower branches and throwing them into the air. “Look! Leaf rain!” one of them shouted, laughing. Asher’s chest tightened. He loved trees. He knew that leaves helped trees breathe and grow. He wanted to say something, but fear held him back. What if they laughed at him? What if they ignored him? After a moment, he turned away and walked back to the classroom without saying a word. That evening, Asher sat in the garden with his grandfather, watering the plants as usual, but his mind was not at peace. His silence did not escape Grandpa. After a while, Asher shared what had happened at school and how he felt. He explained that he wanted to protect the tree but did not feel brave enough. His grandfather listened carefully. He told Asher that courage does not mean being fearless. It means doing what is right, even when fear is present. He reminded Asher that change often begins with one small voice and one brave choice. Those words stayed in Asher’s mind all night. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 The next day during break, Asher saw the same kids pulling leaves just like before. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The kids soon agreed to Asher’s suggestion. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The next day during break, Asher saw the same kids pulling leaves just like before. This time, he didn’t walk away. His heart pounded, but Grandpa’s words echoed in his mind: courage means doing what is right even when you are afraid. Taking a shaky breath, Asher stepped forward. “Hey,” he said, his voice barely above a whisper. “Please stop.” The kids turned, surprised. “Leaves help trees breathe,” Asher continued, trying to sound calm. “If you pull them all off, the tree could get sick and die.” For a long moment, nobody spoke. Then one boy dropped the leaf in his hand. “Really?” he asked. “I never thought about that.” Asher nodded, feeling a small wave of confidence. “Instead of hurting it,” he suggested, “we could protect it together.” The kids soon agreed to Asher’s suggestion. They fetched cardboard and bright markers from the classroom and made a large sign that read, “Protect Our Tree — It Gives Us Shade and Clean Air.” Together, they tied it to the oak tree. Over the next few weeks, the group took turns watering the tree and picking up litter around it. Asher no longer sat alone during break. He stood and laughed with his new friends under the spreading branches. One afternoon, Grandpa came to pick him up and saw the sign. His eyes shone with pride. “You see, Asher?” he said quietly. “You took care of the tree, and the tree brought you friends.” Asher smiled, feeling the warm sun and an even warmer sense of belonging. He finally understood: when we take care of plants, they take care of us in ways we never expect. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物Asher为线索展开，讲述了Asher十分喜爱植物与祖父的花园，但性格内向胆怯，在学校不善交际；课间看到同学肆意采摘橡树树叶时内心想要制止却因恐惧退缩，当晚向祖父倾诉烦恼，祖父开导他勇气不是毫无畏惧，而是心怀恐惧仍坚守正确之事，之后Asher鼓起勇气上前劝说同学、众人一起守护橡树并收获友谊。 【详解】 1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写Asher牢记祖父的话语，克服内心紧张与忐忑，主动上前小声制止同学们采摘树叶，耐心解释树叶对树木生长的重要作用，并提出共同保护橡树的提议。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写孩子们采纳提议后一起制作护树标语牌、轮流养护橡树，Asher逐渐融入集体收获新朋友；祖父前来接他时为他感到骄傲，Asher彻底领悟祖父最初所说话语的深层含义，实现内心成长与性格蜕变。 2. 续写线索： 目睹摘叶→回忆祖父教诲→鼓起勇气上前劝说→科普树木知识→提出护树提议→同伴欣然同意→共同制作标牌养护橡树→Asher结交好友→领悟人生道理 3.词汇激活 行为类 ① 靠近：step forward/approach ② 试图：try/attempt ③ 期待：expect/anticipate 情绪类 ① 惊讶的：surprised/astonished ② 沉着的：calm/composed 【点睛】【高分句型1】Taking a shaky breath, Asher stepped forward.

If so, let me take you on a journey to some iconic landmarks. Each stands as a timeless symbol of its culture’s values and ambitions. Explore these iconic landmarks and their stories. Click here to see UNESCO’s official World Heritage List. Taj Mahal, India The Taj Mahal, a white marble mausoleum (陵墓), is celebrated as the finest example of Indo-Islamic architecture. Built in 1632 by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan, it honors his beloved wife, Mumtaz Mahal. lts grand design features arches, domes (圆顶), and intricate stone inlay work (镶嵌画). Angkor Wat, Cambodia Angkor Wat, part of the ancient Khmer Empire’s capital, is the world’s largest religious structure. Originally a Hindu temple for Vishnu, this 12th-century temple complex showcases detailed carvings and remains a symbol of Southeast Asia’s rich history. Acropolis of Athens, Greece The Acropolis of Athens is an enduring symbol of Classical Greece. The crown jewel of this hilltop castle is the Parthenon, a former temple dedicated to the worship of Athena in ancient Greek religion. Built by Ictinus and Callicrates, beginning in 447 BCE, this Doric icon is regarded as the most important surviving ancient Greek monument. The Great Wall, China Stretching over 21,000 kilometres, the Great Wall is one of humanity’s most ambitious architectural feats. Initially built during the 7th century BCE and expanded by later dynasties, it served as a military defence system against invasions. The best-preserved sections near Beijing, constructed with bricks and stone, display watchtowers and strategic passes. Despite erosion and tourism pressures, it remains a proud symbol of Chinese civilization. 21. Why was the Taj Mahal built? A. To honor an emperor’s wife. B. To serve as a Hindu temple. C. To defend against external attacks. D. To showcase modern architecture. 22. Which two sites were originally religious structures? A. Taj Mahal and Angkor Wat. B. Angkor Wat and The Great Wall. C. Angkor Wat and Acropolis of Athens. D. The Great Wall and Acropolis of Athens. 23. Which part of the Great Wall is the best maintained according to the passage? A. The original sections built from the 7th century BCE. B. Sections near Beijing constructed with bricks and stone. C. Sections built with watchtowers in the western regions. D. The northernmost sections expanded by the Ming Dynasty. B This weekend I had the pleasure of seeing the Latvian animated film Flow in the theater. I’d never heard of it, but all of the other options were sequels (续集) or Christmas movies. Flow had a great trailer (预告片), excellent reviews, and won many awards. I was told. It is about the adventures of a black cat, a yellow dog, and several other animals that band together to survive a catastrophic flood. There are no people in the film. In fact, there is no dialogue at all in the hour and a half. You would think that a movie without any human characters or dialogue would be boring. Well, Flow is anything BUT. On the contrary, I was often on the edge of my seat, terrified for the danger these little guys faced. They’re constantly escaping enemies and rising water. Eventually, our black cat finds himself in a new land. At the start of the movie he is alone, but by the end he is surrounded by new friends. What, if anything, does this movie “mean”? Clearly, one of the basic themes is unity — different species that initially don’t get along eventually learn to help each other survive. But I think the fact that humans are completely absent seems intentional. The animals pass through run-down, abandoned towns, implying that humanity may have been wiped out by a disaster. Combined with the flood, this suggests a metaphor about climate change and sea level rise. The movie’s metaphors are subtle: water is an ever-present symbol in the film, and it is constantly flowing forward, pushing the action and our characters. With the title literally named Flow, temporariness seems to be the main message: things constantly changing, the world moves on. We often can’t control storms of life. What we can control are our own actions. You can choose to fight the current or go with it and make the best of what you find down river. Or it could mean something else completely different to you! Like the best poems, this movie is open to multiple interpretations. 24. What initially motivated the author to watch the film Flow? A. Recommendations from strangers. B. Its positive reception and many awards. C. Curiosity about an unknown movie. D. Its unique theme concerning animals. 25. Which of the following is a distinctive feature of Flow? A. It involves more than human characters. B. It contains no spoken dialogue. C. It is a short animation within 90 minutes. D. It is primarily a Christmas-themed story. 26. In the author’s opinion, what does humans’ absence from the film imply? A. The loss of humanity. B. The difficulty of survival. C. The unpredictability of life. D. The unity of diverse species. 27. Where is the text probably from? A. A textbook on animation. B. An eco-tour journal. C. An editorial on global warming. D. An entertainment website. C Researchers at the University of Padua in Italy have traced the origins of one of Venice’s most long-lasting signs: the bronze winged lion that stands on the top of a column in St Mark’s Square. Long believed to be a Venetian creation, the sculpture is determined to come from the Yangzi River basin in China. The lion systematically reflects Chinese artistic traditions. For example, the position of its paws matches that of ancient Chinese lion guardians, originally fierce protectors of tombs. Researchers propose that Marco Polo may have acquired the sculpture, a gift from the Yuan Dynasty emperor, and later brought it back to Venice. A Chinese burial guardian thus became a silent witness to the vast cultural exchanges. In China, the lion holds an important symbolic role even though the animals have never lived there in the wild. From palaces to the gates of private homes and even modern banks, pairs of stone lions still stand guard. Real lions began arriving in China via the Silk Road, sent as foreign offerings from Central Asian states to emperors of the Han Dynasty. By the Tang Dynasty, lions were already features of the cultural imagination. Over the centuries, their style evolved: Tang figures often walk energetically, Song examples soften into playful scenes, while later lions sit low in calm dignity. large and completely still. The lion’s influence also extended into popular culture. The lion dance combined martial arts, acrobatics (杂技) and drama into a brilliant performance. Performed at public celebrations, the dance represented strength, luck and the driving away of evil spirits. Today, it remains a beloved festive event across China and throughout overseas Chinese communities. From foreign gift animal to sacred guardian, from sculpted icon to dynamic performer, the lion in China reflects a unique blend of folk inspiration and artistic imagination. In Italy, the bronze lion still gazes over Venice, standing as a reminder of the global networks linking East Asia and Europe long before the modern age, and of how symbols travel, transform and last across civilizations. 28. What is the researchers’ discovery about the bronze lion? A. It originated in China. B. It was made by Venetians. C. It stood as Venice’s symbol. D. It was bought by Marco Polo. 29. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. Lions’ origin and traditional role. B. Lions’ images and historic significance. C. Lions’ spread and cultural influence. D. Lions’ introduction and stylistic evolution. 30. What is the lion dance viewed as today? A. A memorial ceremony. B. A form of martial arts training. C. A traditional celebration. D. An intercultural collaboration. 31. What can we learn from the bronze lion’s existence in Italy? A. Venice served as an ancient trade center. B. The bronze lion symbolized Venice’s history. C. Ancient China exported lion statues widely. D. Cultural exchanges existed earlier than assumed. D Using artificial intelligence to create artworks increases artists’ productivity and generates more positive reactions, according to a study involving submissions to a popular art-sharing website by more than 50,000 users. But generative AI works are more likely to display stereotypical (刻板印象的) themes, reducing the novelty of an artist’s work. The researchers tracked 4 million works published on the website by the artists. The artists self-divided into two groups: those who continued to work using traditional methods — a sort of control group, and those who adopted AI. The latter group, numbering about 5,800, were identified by the use of tags (标签) on their work, such as “AI-generated” or the names of the AI tools. Works posted into AI art communities on the site were also included. Artists who adopted AI tools saw their productivity measured by the number of works posted increase by 25 percent over the study period. They also saw a 50 percent rise in the number of “favourites” their work received over six months. But novelty, measured by the subject matter and specific details of the work, decreased for the AI-using group. “The study completely tracks with my own experience with these tools and spaces,” says Andres Guadamuz at the University of Sussex, UK. “At first, it felt that you could do anything, bring anything in your head into existence, but the more I used them, the more I kept coming back to themes I liked.” Guadamuz points out that he isn’t judging the quality of the images produced by generative AI nor their originality, nor the creativity involved in the process. All these things are often hotly contested, with some artists saying that generative AI is using their works as training data and limiting their ability to be recognized as creatives. Zhou at Boston University is also considering these questions. He says, “The generative technology accelerates the ability to produce. But it raises other issues: Are we foregoing the process of understanding what goes into being creative and producing something meaningful, in favour of just being able to brute force our way with technology?” 32. What do we know about the artworks created by AI according to paragraph 1? A. They are abundant but less creative. B. They are generative but less popular. C. They balance popularity with artistic depth. D. They attract viewers with the trendy subjects. 33. How was the study conducted? A. By surveying artists’ opinions on AI tools using. B. By analyzing suggestions on generative AI works. C. By comparing artworks with different AI involvement. D. By observing the process of AI-assisted artistic creation. 34. What can be inferred from Guadamuz’s statement? A. AI tools help artists explore new creative styles. B. AI users receive more recognition for their creativity. C. Artists believe AI improves the quality of their artworks. D. Artists may repeat themes they like when using AI tools. 35. What is the best title for the text? A. The Unstoppable Rise of AI Artworks. B. The Breakthrough of AI in Artistic Creation. C. The Role of AI in Artistic Productivity. D. The Double-Edged Sword of AI in Artworks. 第二节 （共5小题；每小题3分，满分15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。 Illeism: The Ancient Trick to Help You Think More Wisely As a writer specialising in psychology, I’ve come across hundreds of evidence-based tips for better thinking. Few have proven as useful to me as the ancient strategy of illeism. Put simply, illeism is the practice of talking about oneself in the third person rather than the first person. ____36____ In the emperor Julius Caesar’s account of the Gallic War, for example, he wrote “Caesar avenged the public” rather than “I avenged the public”. To the modern ear, illeism can sound a little silly or self-important. ____37____ If we are trying to make a difficult decision, speaking about ourselves in the third person can help to reduce the emotions that could lead our thinking off track, allowing us to find a wiser solution to our problem. ____38____ This is because when making personal choices, we become too caught up in our emotions, which cloud our thinking and prevent us from putting our issues in perspective. If we have received negative feedback from a colleague, for example, our feeling of embarrassment might lead us to become overly self-defensive. By switching to the third person, our descriptions of the situation will start to sound as if we are talking about someone else rather than ourselves. ____39____ By encouraging us to put our problems in perspective, the use of illeism may also help us to have a more balanced response to daily stresses. Next time you face a challenging situation, try referring to yourself as “he” or “she” instead of “I”. ____40____ A. Try this technique. B. Politicians often use this method. C. This creates helpful distance from emotions. D. So why do emotions affect our decisions so much? E. Yet research shows illeism brings real thinking benefits. F. However, lack of objectivity can be problematic when choosing. G. You might be surprised at how much clearer your thinking becomes. 第三部分 语言运用（共2节，满分50分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分） I still remember the day I bought my “nice” notebook.

You try things that might ____52____. And in that freedom, bad ideas I was ____53____ embarrassed about gradually evolved into work I’m proud of. And that’s where the real work of creation happens. The best notebook is never the most beautiful one. It’s the one you’ll actually ____54____. Because the magic happens in the ____55____, not in perfect pages. Your ugly notebook is waiting. 41.

Every evening, he carefully held the watering can as his grandfather showed him how to pour just the right amount on each plant. “These plants need us, Asher,” Grandpa often said. “If we take care of them, they will take care of us.” Asher loved plants. He loved their bright green leaves, the way they danced in the wind, and how fresh they smelled after rain. Plants made him feel calm and safe. But when it came to people, Asher was not so confident. At school, he was one of the quietest kids. While others laughed and played loudly, he often sat alone, unsure how to join them. One afternoon during break, Asher walked past the big oak tree (橡树) near the playground. A group of kids stood nearby, pulling leaves from its lower branches and throwing them into the air. “Look! Leaf rain!” one of them shouted, laughing. Asher’s chest tightened. He loved trees. He knew that leaves helped trees breathe and grow. He wanted to say something, but fear held him back. What if they laughed at him? What if they ignored him? After a moment, he turned away and walked back to the classroom without saying a word. That evening, Asher sat in the garden with his grandfather, watering the plants as usual, but his mind was not at peace. His silence did not escape Grandpa. After a while, Asher shared what had happened at school and how he felt. He explained that he wanted to protect the tree but did not feel brave enough. His grandfather listened carefully. He told Asher that courage does not mean being fearless. It means doing what is right, even when fear is present. He reminded Asher that change often begins with one small voice and one brave choice. Those words stayed in Asher’s mind all night. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 The next day during break, Asher saw the same kids pulling leaves just like before. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The kids soon agreed to Asher’s suggestion. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始，请看听力部分第一节。第一节听下面5段对话，每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项。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。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。Excuse me, are visiting hours are over now.

Scientists have painted a long road, red, yellow and White. They hope to discourage the sea birds from wandering onto the highway. The area is home to a large crowds of birds that come to stay for the season. Young birds are often attracted to the warm road surface and get killed by the traffic, biology student hanna tells the broadcaster. The Youngsters s fathers are Brown and color. The dark colored rose surface makes the Youngsters hard to be noticed. As the number of tourists has grown, so has the amount of traffic on the roads. Biologist Christian says the plan is to see how the birds respond to the multicoloured road this summer. And if IT works, the idea could spread to other parts of the country.
