Here is a list of top things to do at Mount Rushmore. Grand View Terrace This is the main viewing platform. From here, you have a clear view of the four presidents: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln, from left to right. These four presidents were chosen because they represent the nation’s birth, growth, development, and preservation. It took 14 years to carve the entire sculpture, with the project lasting from 1927 to 1941. Presidential Trail This trail leads up to the base of the mountain for close-up views of the sculpture. Along the way, you can learn more about the four presidents on the informational signs. This trail is 0.6 miles long with 422 steps. Lighting Ceremony From late-May through the end of September, you can watch the 45-minute ceremony as the lights turn on, illuminating (照明) the faces of the four presidents. From late-May through mid-August, this is held at 9 pm and from mid-August through September 30, the lighting ceremony is held at 8 pm. For the remainder of the year the sculpture is still illuminated, but there is no ceremony. Hours of Operation November 1-March 9 6 am to 9 pm March 10-September 30 5 am to 11 pm October 1-October 31 5 am to 9 pm There is no entrance fee to enter Mount Rushmore. However, you do have to pay a $10 parking fee per vehicle. 1. Who is at the right end of the sculpture? A. George Washington. B. Abraham Lincoln. C. Theodore Roosevelt. D. Thomas Jefferson. 2. When is the lighting ceremony unavailable? A. From October 1 to mid-May. B. From mid-August to September 30. C. From late-June to mid-August. D. From late-May to the end of September. 3. What can be learned about Mount Rushmore? A. The parking is free. B. The entrance fee is $10. C. It was created in 1942. D. It is open all year round. 【答案】1. B 2. A 3. D 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍美国拉什莫尔山国家纪念公园的观景平台、游览步道、灯光仪式、开放时间以及门票停车费用等游玩信息。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“From here, you have a clear view of the four presidents: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln, from left to right.(从这里你可以清晰看到四位总统，从左到右依次是乔治・华盛顿、托马斯・杰斐逊、西奥多・罗斯福、亚伯拉罕・林肯。)”可知，最右侧的是亚伯拉罕・林肯。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“From late-May through the end of September, you can watch the 45-minute ceremony... For the remainder of the year the sculpture is still illuminated, but there is no ceremony.(从五月下旬到九月底你可以观看灯光仪式……一年中其余时间山体仍有灯光照明，但没有仪式活动。)”可知，10月1日至5月中旬没有灯光仪式。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据文中开放时间信息：“November 1-March 9(11月1日 - 3月9日)”、“March 10-September 30(3月10日 - 9月30日)”、“October 1-October 31(10月1日 - 10月31日)”均对外开放可知，拉什莫尔山全年开放。 B As a child, I dreamed of being Jane Goodall, living among chimpanzees (黑猩猩). However, life led me down a different path. I went to law school, but I quickly realized my heart wasn’t in it. I dropped out by Thanksgiving. Later, inspired by a scientist teaching a chimp named Sarah to communicate, I volunteered in his lab. There, I met Sarah, lonely and unhappy. I felt a strong urge to connect with her. I held out my finger and said, “Turn around, and I’ll scratch (挠) your back.” Sarah surprisingly turned, allowing me to scratch her back through the bars. This moment made me reflect on Jane Goodall’s spirit and the chimps’ well-being. Soon after, I discovered my life’s mission: humane education. Unknown to me then, Jane Goodall herself was also shifting from scientific research to humane education. She realized the best way to protect chimps and ecosystems was through teaching. She founded Roots and Shoots, a global program that has inspired millions of children to act for a better world. Jane devoted the last half-century of her life to tirelessly teaching about building a humane, peaceful world. She became the most famous and respected humane educator globally, spreading a message of kindness through action. I was fortunate to meet Jane a few times and even speak alongside her. It was a great honor when she wrote the foreword for my book, significantly boosting its reach. The world has lost one of its best, an incredible supporter for animals and a groundbreaking advocate for humane education. Yet, Jane left us everything needed for us to carry on her legacy (遗产) . Jane once wrote: “You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you. What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.” Millions have been touched by her. If Jane Goodall impacted you, I hope you will consider what kind of difference you want to make, and then go make that difference. 4. Why did the author leave law school? A. She found the courses too difficult. B. She received an invitation from a lab. C. She lacked interest in being a lawyer. D. She was inspired by Jane Goodall then. 5. What did the author’s interaction with Sarah reveal? A. It awakened her true life calling. B. Sarah misunderstood human language. C. Animal research requires improvement. D. Chimps have a complex language system. 6. What does the author think of Jane Goodall’s legacy? A. Demanding. B. Instructive. C. Satisfying. D. Worthless. 7. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To honor a pioneer and call for action. B. To compare two different career paths. C. To explain the method of humane education. D. To describe the intelligence of chimpanzees. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者的个人经历与Jane Goodall的深远影响交织的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“I went to law school, but I quickly realized my heart wasn’t in it.(我进入了法学院，但很快意识到自己并不真心热爱法律。)”可知，作者离开法学院的原因是她对成为律师缺乏兴趣，故选C。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“This moment made me reflect on Jane Goodall’s spirit and the chimps’ well-being. Soon after, I discovered my life’s mission: humane education.(那一刻，我回想起简·古道尔的精神，以及黑猩猩的福祉问题。不久后，我找到了自己的人生使命：人道主义教育。)”可知，这次互动唤醒了她真正的人生使命。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Jane once wrote: “You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you. What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.” Millions have been touched by her.(简曾写道：“你无法度过一天而不对周围的世界产生影响。你的所作所为都会带来改变，而你必须决定自己想要创造怎样的改变。”她感动了无数人。)”可知，古道尔的话强调行动带来希望，影响世界，这表明作者认为古道尔的遗产是有教育意义的。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第三段“Unknown to me then, Jane Goodall herself was also shifting from scientific research to humane education. She realized the best way to protect chimps and ecosystems was through teaching. She founded Roots and Shoots, a global program that has inspired millions of children to act for a better world. Jane devoted the last half-century of her life to tirelessly teaching about building a humane, peaceful world. She became the most famous and respected humane educator globally, spreading a message of kindness through action.(当时的我并不知道，简·古道尔本人也正从科学研究转向人道主义教育。她意识到，保护黑猩猩和生态系统的最佳途径是通过教育。于是，她创立了“根与芽”（Roots and Shoots）这一全球性项目，激励了数百万儿童为创造更美好的世界而行动。简将生命的后半世纪都奉献给了不遗余力地宣扬构建一个充满人性与和平的世界。她成为全球最著名、最受尊敬的人道主义教育者，用行动传递着仁爱的信息。)”和倒数第二段“I was fortunate to meet Jane a few times and even speak alongside her. It was a great honor when she wrote the foreword for my book, significantly boosting its reach.(我有幸与简见过几次面，甚至还与她一起发表过演讲。当她为我的书撰写序言时，这对我来说是一份极大的荣誉，也极大地提升了这本书的影响力。)”可知，本文叙述作者个人经历和珍·古道尔的生平和影响，旨在向这位先驱致敬，由最后一段“If Jane Goodall impacted you, I hope you will consider what kind of difference you want to make, and then go make that difference.(如果简·古道尔曾影响过你，我希望你能思考自己想要创造怎样的改变，然后就去实现它。)”可知，作者也在本文中号召读者采取行动。故选A。 C A large U.S. study found that older adults who drink coffee — whether caffeinated or decaffeinated — tend to have a lower risk of death compared to non-coffee drinkers. The research, led by scientists from the National Institutes of Health, observed a reduced risk of death from heart disease, stroke, diabetes, infections, and other causes, though no clear link was found with cancer-related deaths. The study followed 400,000 adults aged 50-71 over 13 years. Participants reported their coffee habits once at the start of the study. Results showed that those who drank three or more cups daily had about a 10% lower risk of death than non-drinkers. This association remained even after adjusting for factors like smoking and diet. However, researchers cautioned that the findings do not prove coffee directly extends lifespan. “Coffee is widely consumed, but its health effects have been debated,” said Dr. Neal Freedman, lead author of the study. “While we can’t confirm coffee causes a longer life, these results strongly indicate it isn’t harmful and might even be beneficial.” Notably, the type of caffeine (caffeinated vs. decaf) mattered little, implying that other compounds in coffee — e.g. antioxidants — might play a role. Coffee contains over 1,000 chemicals, many of which could influence health. Of course, the study has limitations. Coffee intake was self-reported only once, and preparation methods were not analyzed. Differences in brewing might affect the health properties of coffee. Additionally, while coffee was linked to lower overall death risk, men who drank large amounts showed a slight increase in cancer deaths, though this was not strongly conclusive. Experts emphasize that lifestyle factors matter. Coffee drinkers may have shared other healthy habits. “This doesn’t mean everyone should start drinking coffee,” said Freedman. “But it offers reassurance that moderate consumption is likely safe.” Published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2012, this research adds to evidence that coffee, when enjoyed in moderation, could be a component of healthy lifestyle. Future studies will explore how specific compounds in coffee interact with the body. 8. What on earth plays a crucial role in coffee drinkers’ living longer? A. The type of caffeine (regular or decaf). B. The brewing methods used in the study. C. Coffee drinkers’ healthier life habits. D. Antioxidants and other compounds in coffee. 9. What can we learn from the study on coffee drinking? A. The Study confirms coffee directly extends lifespan. B. More studies are still needed to confirm the finding. C. Drinking coffee reduces the risk of cancer-related deaths. D. The study conducted nationwide covered all age groups. 10. What attitude should we take towards the research findings? A. Largely dismissive. B. Completely convinced. C. Uncritically enthusiastic. D. Cautiously optimistic. 11. Which of the following could be the best title for the article? A. Coffee Linked to Lower Death Risk B. Coffee Can Extend Lifespan Directly C. Decaf Coffee Has Been Proved Healthier D. New Study Confirms Coffee Cures Illnesses 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍一项大型美国研究发现喝咖啡的老年人死亡风险更低，但未证明咖啡直接延寿，需理性看待该研究结果。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Notably, the type of caffeine (caffeinated vs. decaf) mattered little, implying that other compounds in coffee — e.g. antioxidants — might play a role.(值得注意的是，咖啡因的类型（含咖啡因或脱咖啡因）影响不大，这意味着咖啡中的其他物质——例如抗氧化剂——可能起到了作用。)”可知，真正在喝咖啡者长寿中起关键作用的是咖啡中的抗氧化剂和其他物质。故选D项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2012, this research adds to evidence that coffee, when enjoyed in moderation, could be a component of healthy lifestyle. Future studies will explore how specific compounds in coffee interact with the body.(这项2012年发表在《新英格兰医学杂志》上的研究进一步证明，适量饮用咖啡可能是健康生活方式的一部分。未来的研究将探索咖啡中的特定物质如何与人体相互作用。)”可知，仍需要更多研究来证实该发现。故选B项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“However, researchers cautioned that the findings do not prove coffee directly extends lifespan.(然而，研究人员警告说，这些发现并不能证明咖啡直接延长寿命。)”和最后一段中的“Future studies will explore how specific compounds in coffee interact with the body.(未来的研究将探索咖啡中的特定物质如何与人体相互作用。)”可知，对该研究结果应持谨慎乐观的态度。故选D项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中的“A large U.S. study found that older adults who drink coffee — whether caffeinated or decaffeinated — tend to have a lower risk of death compared to non-coffee drinkers.(美国一项大型研究发现，与不喝咖啡的人相比，喝咖啡的老年人——无论是含咖啡因还是脱咖啡因的——死亡风险往往更低。)”可知，文章主要说明咖啡与较低的死亡风险相关，由此可知，“喝咖啡与降低死亡风险有关联”可以概括文章主题，适合作为最佳标题。故选A项。 D Thinking back on the college recommendations I’ve written, a pattern occurs: The most successful students are never merely great students. They are devoted to at least six other pursuits. How can a kid write such detailed reading journals on Dante, excel in painting and find the time to edit the school newspaper, volunteer at her city councilman’s office, run a half-marathon, take photography classes and write prize-winning poetry on the side? “Our age respects the specialist,” writes Robert Twigger, “but humans are natural polymaths (博学者) .” It’s not just the youngsters who can join the polymath party. The assumption that learning stops when you leave university is at odds with the evidence. It appears that a great deal depends on the nucleus basalis. This bit of the brain produces significant amounts of acetylcholine that regulates the rate at which new connections are made between brain cells. This in turn determines how readily we form memories of various kinds. So what’s the trick to letting the acetylcholine flow more plentifully? Twigger again: People as old as 90 who actively acquire new interests retain their ability to learn. But if we stop taxing the nucleus basalis, it begins to dry up. In some older people it has been shown to contain no acetylcholine. But simply attempting new things seems to offer benefits to people. After only short periods of trying, the ability to make new connections develops. Two years ago, I had some newfound headspace to write a piece for The New York Times. I had no idea if I’d be able to keep up the writing while being a dad and a teacher and a runner, but I thought I’d give it a try. And a few months later I started blogging for The Economist as well. Adding new activities to my plate seems to have given me a new source of energy, and sometimes when I’m worn out, I’m also, strangely, uplifted. It undervalues our lives to willingly enter into mindless routines. Make stuff. Pursue a new interest. Consider career changes, even if you don’t actually make one. Stop this, start that. Do something new. Come on, it’s good for you. 12. What does the author find about the most successful students? A. They are gifted in arts. B. They are all-round athletes. C. They have wide-ranging interests. D. They make efforts to promote the public good. 13. What does the author intend to illustrate by quoting Twigger in paragraph 4? A. How to enhance the brain’s capacity for learning. B. Why humans are natural polymaths. C. What is the key to a good memory. D. What to do to age slowly. 14. How does the author describe writing in his spare time? A. It makes him struggle to balance many roles. B. It recharges his passion and enthusiasm. C. It enables him to follow his daily routines. D. It makes him question his career choices. 15. What does the author suggest readers do? A. Find their true interest and specialize in it. B. Prioritize academic achievement. C. Break their comfort zones and enjoy new challenges. D. Seek out groundbreaking and pioneering work. 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要探讨了多元追求与持续学习对个人成长和大脑活力的积极影响，鼓励人们打破常规，勇于尝试新事物，以丰富生活并提升自我。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Thinking back on the college recommendations I’ve written, a pattern occurs: The most successful students are never merely great students. They are devoted to at least six other pursuits.(回顾我写过的大学推荐信，我发现一个规律：最成功的学生绝不仅仅是成绩优异的学生。他们至少还专注于其他六项事业)”可知，这些成功的学生都拥有广泛的兴趣爱好，而非单一领域的专长。故选C。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“So what’s the trick to letting the acetylcholine flow more plentifully? Twigger again: People as old as 90 who actively acquire new interests retain their ability to learn. But if we stop taxing the nucleus basalis, it begins to dry up. In some older people it has been shown to contain no acetylcholine. But simply attempting new things seems to offer benefits to people. After only short periods of trying, the ability to make new connections develops.(那么，让乙酰胆碱更充沛地分泌有什么诀窍呢？还是Twigger的观点：即便是90岁高龄的人，只要积极培养新的兴趣，就能保持学习能力。但如果我们不再给基底核施加“压力”，它就会开始衰退。研究表明，有些老年人的基底核中已经检测不到乙酰胆碱了。但仅仅是尝试新事物，似乎就能给人们带来益处。只需短时间的尝试，大脑形成新连接的能力就会有所提升。)”可知，第四段首先提出问题，随后提出Twigger 的观点：即便是90岁高龄的人，只要积极培养新的兴趣，就能保持学习能力。由此可见，引用Twigger的话是为了说明通过尝试新事物、培养新兴趣，能促进乙酰胆碱分泌，增强大脑的学习能力，即如何提高大脑的学习能力。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第五段“And a few months later I started blogging for The Economist as well. Adding new activities to my plate seems to have given me a new source of energy, and sometimes when I’m worn out, I’m also, strangely, uplifted.(几个月后，我又开始为《经济学人》写博客。在日常事务中增加新的活动，似乎给了我新的能量来源。有时，当我疲惫不堪时，却也奇怪地感到精神振奋。)”可知，作者在业余时间写作为他带来了新的能量，甚至在疲惫时能让他感到振奋，即重新激发了他的热情与活力。故选B。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“It undervalues our lives to willingly enter into mindless routines. Make stuff. Pursue a new interest. Consider career changes, even if you don’t actually make one. Stop this, start that. Do something new. Come on, it’s good for you.(心甘情愿地陷入毫无意义的常规生活，是对我们生命的贬低。去创造东西吧。去追求新的兴趣吧。考虑一下职业变动，即便你实际上并不会真的变动。停下这件事，开始那件事。做点新的尝试。来吧，这对你有好处。)”可知，作者建议读者打破一成不变的舒适区，尝试新事物、迎接新挑战。故选C。 三、七选五：本大题共5小题,共12.5分。 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Finding the right present is often a struggle, even when we are choosing for those we love most. We frequently fail to grasp the true wishes of others, making every choice feel like a test of the relationship. While humans are naturally good at imagining others’ perspectives, this mental effort can be quite exhausting. ___16___ Many errors in gifting come from a narrow focus on the present moment. ___17___ They expect a gift that causes an immediate “wow,” even if that delight is brief. On the contrary, those receiving the gifts tend to value items that provide usefulness over a long period. Professor Adelle Yang describes this phenomenon as the “smile-seeking theory.” ___18___ For instance, one might pick a luxury watch over a ticket to a theater show. The person giving the gift feels a sense of pride in handing over something physical and shiny. However, shared experiences or new skills usually generate more lasting happiness, as memories stay fresh long after physical objects lose their appeal. For many, the value of a gift is tied strictly to its cost. We often spend more than necessary, believing that a high price demonstrates deep respect. ___19___ In reality, data indicates that the amount spent has very little impact on how much the receiver actually enjoys the gift. As Professor Jeffrey Galak notes, we often overestimate the influence of a large price tag. Ultimately, successful gifting requires recognizing what the recipient truly values and choosing lasting satisfaction over a quick reaction. ___20___ Thus, a gift chosen with genuine care is rarely a failure and will likely strengthen your emotional bond. A. The need to be unique can often backfire. B. True satisfaction comes from the bond, not the expense. C. Therefore, high prices always lead to more appreciation. D. This theory explains our tendency to choose physical items. E. Givers usually prioritize the instant reaction of the recipient. F. Yet, following a few psychological tips can improve your success. G. But studies prove that higher costs don’t guarantee more appreciation. 【答案】16. F 17. E 18. D 19. G 20. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，短文围绕“挑选合适礼物”这一日常难题，分析了送礼者与收礼者的心理差异，介绍了“微笑寻求理论”，指出人们常过度追求即时惊喜、看重价格，而收礼者更看重实用与长久价值，并给出了成功送礼的核心原则。 【16题详解】 根据上文“While humans are naturally good at imagining others’ perspectives, this mental effort can be quite exhausting.(虽然人类天生善于换位思考，但这种思考会很累)”可知，空格处需要引出解决办法。F选项“Yet, following a few psychological tips can improve your success.(然而遵循一些心理学技巧能提高成功率)”承上启下，引出下文送礼的相关建议，符合语境。故选F项。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Many errors in gifting come from a narrow focus on the present moment.(很多送礼错误源于只关注当下)”以及下文“They expect a gift that causes an immediate “wow”(他们希望礼物能带来即时的惊喜)”可知，空格处需要说明送礼者重视即时反应。E选项“Givers usually prioritize the instant reaction of the recipient.(送礼者通常优先考虑收礼者的即时反应)”承接上文，符合语境。故选E项。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Professor Adelle Yang describes this phenomenon as the “smile-seeking theory.”(杨教授把这一现象称为“微笑寻求理论”)”可知，空格处需要对这一理论进行解释。D选项“This theory explains our tendency to choose physical items.(这一理论解释了我们倾向于选择实物的原因)”承接上文，与后文举例相呼应，符合语境。故选D项。 【19题详解】 根据上文“We often spend more than necessary, believing that a high price demonstrates deep respect.(我们常花不必要的钱，认为高价代表重视)”以及下文“In reality, data indicates that the amount spent has very little impact on how much the receiver actually enjoys the gift.(事实上，花费多少对收礼者的喜爱程度影响很小)”可知，空格处需要表达高价不代表更被喜欢。G选项“But studies prove that higher costs don’t guarantee more appreciation.(但研究证明，价格更高并不保证更被欣赏)”承上启下，符合语境。故选G项。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Ultimately, successful gifting requires recognizing what the recipient truly values and choosing lasting satisfaction over a quick reaction.(归根结底，成功的送礼需要认清接受者真正看重什么，并选择持久的满足感，而非一时的反应)”可知，空格处需要总结真正的满足来源。B选项“True satisfaction comes from the bond, not the expense.(真正的满足来自情感联结，而非花费)”承接上文，点明主旨，符合语境。故选B项。 三．完型填空：每空1分,共15分 On the last day of high school, our classroom felt different. The usual noise of chatting and laughter was replaced by an unusual silence. Mr. Thompson, our homeroom teacher, walked in with a gentle smile, but his eyes were ____21____.

Some students sobbed quietly; others hugged each other tightly. “Don’t cry,” he said, wiping his own eyes. “This is not a ____28____, but a new beginning. You are all ready to _____29_____ the world. Remember: be brave, be kind, and never stop learning.” He then walked to each student, handed us a handwritten card, and ____30____ us warmly. On my card, he wrote: “To my favorite dreamer — the world is waiting for you.” At that moment, I _____31_____ that high school was not just about textbooks and exams. It was about the people who _____32_____ us, the friendships that would _____33_____ a lifetime, and the teacher who believed in us even when we _____34_____ in ourselves. As we walked out of the classroom for the last time, I turned back and saw Mr. Thompson still standing there, waving gently.

A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了高中最后一天，班主任汤普森老师和同学们依依不舍地告别，回顾三年成长，老师通过卡片和拥抱传递温暖与鼓励，让作者意识到高中不仅是学习和考试，更是关于塑造我们的人和持久的情谊。 【21题详解】 考查形容词。句意：汤普森老师，我们的班主任，带着温柔的微笑走了进来，但他的眼睛是红的。A. bright明亮的；B. red红的；C. wide宽的；D. cold冷的。根据后文“his voice trembling slightly”可知，后文提到老师的声音颤抖，可推理出此处说的是眼睛发红，暗示他因离别而激动，眼中含泪。 【22题详解】 考查动词。句意：他在讲台上站了很长时间，试图控制自己的情绪。A. hide隐藏；B. control控制；C. express表达；D. forget忘记。根据后文“his emotions”以及“his voice trembling slightly”可知，后文提到了情绪，还提到了老师声音颤抖，可推理出他情绪激动，因此他是在努力控制自己的情绪。 【23题详解】 考查形容词。句意：三年了，感觉就像昨天我才第一次看到你们年轻的面孔，充满好奇和紧张。A. familiar熟悉的；B. strange奇怪的；C. young年轻的；D. tired疲惫的。根据上文“Three years”可知，老师回忆三年前刚见到学生时的情景，可推理出当时学生是年轻的面孔。 【24题详解】 考查动词。句意：我看着你们克服困难，庆祝成功，成为一个真正的大家庭。A. create创造；B. avoid避免；C. overcome克服；D. repeat重复。根据后文“difficulties, celebrate successes, and become a real family”可知，后文提到了困难，还提到了庆祝成功以及成为一个真正的大家庭，可推理出此处说的是克服困难。 【25题详解】 考查形容词。句意：你们每个人在我心中都有一个特殊的位置。A. special特殊的；B. dangerous危险的；C. common普通的；D. empty空的。根据后文“I remember every moment — your laughter in the hallway, your tears over failed exams”可知，后文提到老师记得每一个学生的细节，可推理出每个学生在老师心中都有特殊的位置。 【26题详解】 考查名词。句意：我记得每一个瞬间——你们在走廊里的笑声，考试失利后的眼泪，以及运动会上你们的努力。A. failure失败；B. effort努力；C. silence沉默；D. pride骄傲。根据后文“during the sports meet”可知，后文提到了运动会，可推理出此处说的是运动会上的努力。 【27题详解】 考查动词短语。句意：教室里爆发出哭声。A. burst爆发；B. turned转变；C. divided分裂；D. broke打破。根据后文“Some students sobbed quietly; others hugged each other tightly.”可知，后文提到了有些同学轻声抽泣，其他人紧紧地拥抱，可推理出学生们哭了起来，burst into tears表示“突然哭起来”，为固定搭配。 【28题详解】 考查名词。句意：这不是告别，而是一个新的开始。A. test测试；B. goodbye告别；C. lesson课程；D. mistake错误。根据前文“Class Dismissed, but Never Forgotten”以及后文“but a new beginning”可知，前文提到课业虽终，永不相忘，后文提到了新的开始，可推理出此处说的是老师说这不是告别，而是一个新的开始。 【29题详解】 考查动词。句意：你们都准备好去探索世界了。A. change改变；B. ignore忽视；C. explore探索；D. protect保护。根据后文“the world”以及毕业即将步入社会、进入大学或新环境的语境，可推理出此处说的是探索世界。 【30题详解】 考查动词。句意：然后他走到每个学生面前，递给我们一张手写的卡片，并热情地拥抱了我们。A. pushed推；B. hugged拥抱；C. pointed指向；D. called打电话、喊叫。根据前文“He then walked to each student, handed us a handwritten card”可知，老师走近学生递卡片，可推理出此处说的是老师拥抱学生。 【31题详解】 考查动词。句意：那一刻，我意识到高中不仅仅是课本和考试。A. doubted怀疑；B. realized意识到；C. complained抱怨；D. wondered想知道。根据后文“that high school was not just about textbooks and exams.”可知，后文提到了高中不仅仅是课本和考试，这是作者在那一刻意识到的。 【32题详解】 考查动词。句意：这关乎那些塑造我们的人，能够延续一生的友谊，以及即便我们对自己失去信心时，依然相信我们的那位老师。A. feared害怕；B. cheated欺骗；C. shaped塑造；D. followed跟随。根据前文“He then walked to each student, handed us a handwritten card”以及后文“us”可知，前文提到老师走近学生递卡片表达老师的关心，后文提到了我们，可推理出此处说的是高中教育的意义，在于那些塑造了我们的人。 【33题详解】 考查动词。句意：同第12题。A. waste浪费；B. last持续；C. shorten缩短；D. end结束。根据后文“a lifetime”可知，后文提到了一生，可推理出此处说的是友谊将持续一生。 【34题详解】 考查动词。句意：同第12题。A. believed相信；B. succeeded成功；C. failed失败；D. lacked缺乏。根据前文“believed in us even when we”以及后文“in ourselves”可知，结合even表让步的逻辑，前文提到老师信任我们，可推断此处指我们自己表现不佳、对自己失去信心的时刻，fail in oneself可表示“让自己失去信心”，符合语境。 【35题详解】 考查名词。句意：我知道无论我去哪里，这一课都会永远伴随我。A. lesson课；教训；B. card卡片；C. room房间；D. school学校。根据前文“that high school was not just about textbooks and exams.”可知，作者领悟到高中不只是课本和考试，而是关于人、友谊和老师的教诲，可推理出这是一堂人生之课，会伴随一生。 五.语法填空。(15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。 A Journey Back to Each Other Inspired by my daughter’s tales of backpacking adventures and my desire to hang out with my youngest son outside the house, I booked two tickets to Shanghai for the September school holidays, surprising us both. We, ____36____ (arm) with a budget, some travel insurance, and a rough plan built around some last-minute internet searches, headed to the airport. We arrived in Shanghai, sleepy and excited, at 5: 30 a.m. Despite the early start, the air was already hot and soupy, ____37____ my son used as an excuse to head straight for a convenience store and buy one of the many drinks he ____38____ (remember) from all those years before. There is something very freeing about arriving in a place where you have no plans. And we didn’t. I discovered that he could find his way ____39____ remembering landmarks. Within a day he’d become ____40____ navigator, and I was the lost one, following behind. As tourists, we were exposed to everything together, giving us back a connection we don’t always have in our daily lives. He was the one who said we should hire bikes. He was the one who showed me how to speed up and led me through the streets downtown, laughing ____41____ I screamed in delight. He dragged me shopping for jeans in stores and made me catch buses ____42____ (take) us in the wrong direction entirely. He was just as likely as I was ____43____ (know) what train to catch, or find the right street to turn down, or stand in awe at the foot of a giant temple, or queue for hours for a steaming bowl of Xiaolongbao. I saw him differently in Shanghai. Travelling meant we were more like ____44____(equal) — partners in adventure. And instead of missing the child version of him, I saw the adult he ____45____ (become). 【答案】36. armed 37. which 38. had remembered 39. by 40. the 41. as##when 42. taking 43. to know 44. equals 45. was becoming 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了作者受女儿背包旅行故事启发，为陪伴小儿子，在九月学校假期一同前往上海旅行的经历。 【36题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：我们备好了预算、买了旅行保险，靠着临时上网搜索制定了一份粗略计划，就这样动身前往机场。此处应为非谓语动词作状语，be armed with为固定搭配，意为“备有；配备”，此处用过去分词短语作状语，表状态。 【37题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：尽管出发得很早，空气却早已闷热潮湿，儿子就以此为借口，径直走进便利店，买了一瓶他多年前就记着的众多饮品之一。空处引导非限制性定语从句，从句中缺少宾语，指代前文整个句子，所以使用关系代词which引导。 【38题详解】 考查动词时态。句意：尽管出发得很早，空气却早已闷热潮湿，儿子就以此为借口，径直走进便利店，买了一瓶他多年前就记着的众多饮品之一。空处作谓语，根据时间状语from all those years before可知，此处表示“过去的过去”，所以使用过去完成时。故填had remembered。 【39题详解】 考查介词。句意：我发现他能通过记路标认路。by doing sth.表示“通过做某事”，此处指通过记路标认路。 【40题详解】 考查冠词。句意：不到一天，他就成了向导，而我反倒迷了路，跟在他身后。此处特指这次旅行里的“向导”，表特指用定冠词the。 【41题详解】 考查连词。句意：是他教我如何加速，带着我穿梭在市中心的街道，在我开心地尖叫时放声大笑。空处引导时间状语从句，意为“当…… 的时候”，as和when均可。 【42题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：他拉着我去店里买牛仔裤，还让我坐上完全开错方向的公交车。空处为非谓语动词作后置定语，take与bus之间为主动关系，所以使用现在分词形式。 【43题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：该坐哪趟火车、该拐进哪条正确的街道、在宏伟的寺庙脚下驻足惊叹，或是排上几小时队只为一碗热气腾腾的小笼包，他和我一样拿得准主意。be likely to do sth.为固定短语，意为“有可能做某事”，所以此处使用动词不定式形式。 【44题详解】 考查名词复数。句意：旅行让我们更像平等的伙伴，一同踏上冒险。equal为可数名词，此处表示泛指，且没有冠词限定，所以使用名词复数形式。 【45题详解】 考查动词时态。句意：我不再怀念儿时的他，而是看见了正在成长为大人的他。空处作谓语，强调当时“正在逐渐成长为大人”的过程，所以使用过去进行时，且主语为第三人称单数，所以be动词为was。 六．作文(40分) 第一节(15分)： 46. 毕业之际，你的笔友Joey问你你在高中三年中最难忘的事情，请写一封邮件给Joey，内容包含： (1) 最难忘的事情是什么； (2) 从这件事情中收获了什么，有什么感想。 词数要求：80 — 100词。 ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文： Dear Joey, How’s everything going?

(运用了who引导限制性定语从句) 第二节：(25分) 47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Leo had always admired bridges. As a child, he would drag his grandfather to the riverside, staring at the graceful steel arches that connected two sides of the city. “Bridges are proof that humans can build something that lasts,” his grandfather, a retired civil engineer, would say. “They carry people’s trust, Leo. Never forget that.” That belief carried Leo through college. He studied structural engineering with the passion of a poet, sketching elegant designs in his notebooks and dreaming of creating landmarks that would stand for generations. When he graduated at the top of his class, he turned down a research scholarship and took a job at a prestigious construction firm, eager to build things that mattered. Reality hit hard. His first project was a shopping mall. His second, a luxury apartment complex for investors who cared only about profit margins. Every day, he sat in meetings where the discussion revolved around cutting costs, using cheaper materials, and shaving off safety margins to meet deadlines. “It meets the minimum standards,” his boss would say, shrugging off Leo’s concerns. “That’s good enough.” The turning point came when Leo was assigned to a bridge project — the kind he had dreamed of. But he soon discovered the client had requested the design be modified to save money: thinner support columns, lower-grade steel. When Leo protested, his boss pulled him aside. “Listen, kid. This is how the industry works. Nobody builds monuments anymore. We build what we’re paid to build, and we cut corners where nobody will see. You want to be an idealist? Go back to school.” That night, Leo walked to the old bridge where he used to stand with his grandfather. The city lights reflected off the water, and for the first time, he saw not beauty, but compromise — cracks in the concrete, rust on the rails that had been “scheduled for maintenance” for years. The bridge was still standing, but Leo knew it was only a matter of time. He thought of his grandfather’s words: They carry people’s trust. The next morning, Leo arrived at the office before anyone else. On his desk lay two things: the revised bridge plans with the dangerous cost-cutting measures, and a blank letter of resignation. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Leo picked up the resignation letter, then his eyes fell on the bridge plans. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Months later, Leo stood on the completed bridge, watching cars cross safely. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文： Paragraph 1: Leo picked up the resignation letter, then his eyes fell on the bridge plans. He could walk away with a clean conscience, but the bridge would still be built, flawed and fragile, by someone else. That hurt more than staying. He put down the letter, picked up his pen, and worked nights for three weeks: recalculating loads, revising specs, building a safety case. He presented data, not emotion, showing that while initial costs would rise, long-term maintenance would fall, and liability risks would shrink. To his surprise, the client agreed to a compromise. Leo stayed. Paragraph 2: Months later, Leo stood on the completed bridge, watching cars cross safely. The sun gleamed off the steel arches — not thinner, not weaker, but honest. Beside him, his old boss admitted, “You were right. This feels different.” Leo smiled, remembering his grandfather. The bridge wasn’t a monument, but it was trustworthy. It carried people’s lives, not just their cars. And Leo knew that integrity wasn’t about building forever — it was about building right, today, for everyone who crossed. He touched the railing, whispered “Thank you,” and walked on — still an idealist, but wiser. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Leo从小受祖父影响，梦想建造不朽的桥梁。大学毕业后他进入建筑公司，却发现行业普遍偷工减料。当他负责的桥梁项目被要求削减安全成本时，他本可辞职，却选择留下，用三周时间重新计算数据，说服客户采用更安全的设计。最终桥梁建成，他收获了信任与成长。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句可知，第一段可描写一番心理挣扎后，Leo选择坚守，重新计算数据，改变设计，成功说服客户同意新方案。 ②由第二段首句可知，第二段可描写上司向Leo表示认可，Leo想起祖父对自己的教诲，领悟诚信在于当下正确地建造，提供安全保障。 2. 续写线索：面临选择——心理挣扎——修改方案——桥梁落成——上司认可——回想与感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①承认：admit/acknowledge ②低声说：whisper/murmur 情绪类 ①惊讶：surprise/astonishment/amazement ②值得信赖的：trustworthy/dependable/reliable 【点睛】[高分句型1] He presented data, not emotion, showing that while initial costs would rise, long-term maintenance would fall, and liability risks would shrink.

Here is a list of top things to do at Mount Rushmore. Grand View Terrace This is the main viewing platform. From here, you have a clear view of the four presidents: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln, from left to right. These four presidents were chosen because they represent the nation’s birth, growth, development, and preservation. It took 14 years to carve the entire sculpture, with the project lasting from 1927 to 1941. Presidential Trail This trail leads up to the base of the mountain for close-up views of the sculpture. Along the way, you can learn more about the four presidents on the informational signs. This trail is 0.6 miles long with 422 steps. Lighting Ceremony From late-May through the end of September, you can watch the 45-minute ceremony as the lights turn on, illuminating (照明) the faces of the four presidents. From late-May through mid-August, this is held at 9 pm and from mid-August through September 30, the lighting ceremony is held at 8 pm. For the remainder of the year the sculpture is still illuminated, but there is no ceremony. Hours of Operation November 1-March 9 6 am to 9 pm March 10-September 30 5 am to 11 pm October 1-October 31 5 am to 9 pm There is no entrance fee to enter Mount Rushmore. However, you do have to pay a $10 parking fee per vehicle. 1. Who is at the right end of the sculpture? A. George Washington. B. Abraham Lincoln. C. Theodore Roosevelt. D. Thomas Jefferson. 2. When is the lighting ceremony unavailable? A. From October 1 to mid-May. B. From mid-August to September 30. C. From late-June to mid-August. D. From late-May to the end of September. 3. What can be learned about Mount Rushmore? A. The parking is free. B. The entrance fee is $10. C. It was created in 1942. D. It is open all year round. B As a child, I dreamed of being Jane Goodall, living among chimpanzees (黑猩猩). However, life led me down a different path. I went to law school, but I quickly realized my heart wasn’t in it. I dropped out by Thanksgiving. Later, inspired by a scientist teaching a chimp named Sarah to communicate, I volunteered in his lab. There, I met Sarah, lonely and unhappy. I felt a strong urge to connect with her. I held out my finger and said, “Turn around, and I’ll scratch (挠) your back.” Sarah surprisingly turned, allowing me to scratch her back through the bars. This moment made me reflect on Jane Goodall’s spirit and the chimps’ well-being. Soon after, I discovered my life’s mission: humane education. Unknown to me then, Jane Goodall herself was also shifting from scientific research to humane education. She realized the best way to protect chimps and ecosystems was through teaching. She founded Roots and Shoots, a global program that has inspired millions of children to act for a better world. Jane devoted the last half-century of her life to tirelessly teaching about building a humane, peaceful world. She became the most famous and respected humane educator globally, spreading a message of kindness through action. I was fortunate to meet Jane a few times and even speak alongside her. It was a great honor when she wrote the foreword for my book, significantly boosting its reach. The world has lost one of its best, an incredible supporter for animals and a groundbreaking advocate for humane education. Yet, Jane left us everything needed for us to carry on her legacy (遗产) . Jane once wrote: “You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you. What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.” Millions have been touched by her. If Jane Goodall impacted you, I hope you will consider what kind of difference you want to make, and then go make that difference. 4. Why did the author leave law school? A. She found the courses too difficult. B. She received an invitation from a lab. C. She lacked interest in being a lawyer. D. She was inspired by Jane Goodall then. 5. What did the author’s interaction with Sarah reveal? A. It awakened her true life calling. B. Sarah misunderstood human language. C. Animal research requires improvement. D. Chimps have a complex language system. 6. What does the author think of Jane Goodall’s legacy? A. Demanding. B. Instructive. C. Satisfying. D. Worthless. 7. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To honor a pioneer and call for action. B. To compare two different career paths. C. To explain the method of humane education. D. To describe the intelligence of chimpanzees. C A large U.S. study found that older adults who drink coffee — whether caffeinated or decaffeinated — tend to have a lower risk of death compared to non-coffee drinkers. The research, led by scientists from the National Institutes of Health, observed a reduced risk of death from heart disease, stroke, diabetes, infections, and other causes, though no clear link was found with cancer-related deaths. The study followed 400,000 adults aged 50-71 over 13 years. Participants reported their coffee habits once at the start of the study. Results showed that those who drank three or more cups daily had about a 10% lower risk of death than non-drinkers. This association remained even after adjusting for factors like smoking and diet. However, researchers cautioned that the findings do not prove coffee directly extends lifespan. “Coffee is widely consumed, but its health effects have been debated,” said Dr. Neal Freedman, lead author of the study. “While we can’t confirm coffee causes a longer life, these results strongly indicate it isn’t harmful and might even be beneficial.” Notably, the type of caffeine (caffeinated vs. decaf) mattered little, implying that other compounds in coffee — e.g. antioxidants — might play a role. Coffee contains over 1,000 chemicals, many of which could influence health. Of course, the study has limitations. Coffee intake was self-reported only once, and preparation methods were not analyzed. Differences in brewing might affect the health properties of coffee. Additionally, while coffee was linked to lower overall death risk, men who drank large amounts showed a slight increase in cancer deaths, though this was not strongly conclusive. Experts emphasize that lifestyle factors matter. Coffee drinkers may have shared other healthy habits. “This doesn’t mean everyone should start drinking coffee,” said Freedman. “But it offers reassurance that moderate consumption is likely safe.” Published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2012, this research adds to evidence that coffee, when enjoyed in moderation, could be a component of healthy lifestyle. Future studies will explore how specific compounds in coffee interact with the body. 8. What on earth plays a crucial role in coffee drinkers’ living longer? A. The type of caffeine (regular or decaf). B. The brewing methods used in the study. C. Coffee drinkers’ healthier life habits. D. Antioxidants and other compounds in coffee. 9. What can we learn from the study on coffee drinking? A. The Study confirms coffee directly extends lifespan. B. More studies are still needed to confirm the finding. C. Drinking coffee reduces the risk of cancer-related deaths. D. The study conducted nationwide covered all age groups. 10. What attitude should we take towards the research findings? A. Largely dismissive. B. Completely convinced. C. Uncritically enthusiastic. D. Cautiously optimistic. 11. Which of the following could be the best title for the article? A. Coffee Linked to Lower Death Risk B. Coffee Can Extend Lifespan Directly C. Decaf Coffee Has Been Proved Healthier D. New Study Confirms Coffee Cures Illnesses D Thinking back on the college recommendations I’ve written, a pattern occurs: The most successful students are never merely great students. They are devoted to at least six other pursuits. How can a kid write such detailed reading journals on Dante, excel in painting and find the time to edit the school newspaper, volunteer at her city councilman’s office, run a half-marathon, take photography classes and write prize-winning poetry on the side? “Our age respects the specialist,” writes Robert Twigger, “but humans are natural polymaths (博学者) .” It’s not just the youngsters who can join the polymath party. The assumption that learning stops when you leave university is at odds with the evidence. It appears that a great deal depends on the nucleus basalis. This bit of the brain produces significant amounts of acetylcholine that regulates the rate at which new connections are made between brain cells. This in turn determines how readily we form memories of various kinds. So what’s the trick to letting the acetylcholine flow more plentifully? Twigger again: People as old as 90 who actively acquire new interests retain their ability to learn. But if we stop taxing the nucleus basalis, it begins to dry up. In some older people it has been shown to contain no acetylcholine. But simply attempting new things seems to offer benefits to people. After only short periods of trying, the ability to make new connections develops. Two years ago, I had some newfound headspace to write a piece for The New York Times. I had no idea if I’d be able to keep up the writing while being a dad and a teacher and a runner, but I thought I’d give it a try. And a few months later I started blogging for The Economist as well.

We frequently fail to grasp the true wishes of others, making every choice feel like a test of the relationship. While humans are naturally good at imagining others’ perspectives, this mental effort can be quite exhausting. ___16___ Many errors in gifting come from a narrow focus on the present moment. ___17___ They expect a gift that causes an immediate “wow,” even if that delight is brief. On the contrary, those receiving the gifts tend to value items that provide usefulness over a long period. Professor Adelle Yang describes this phenomenon as the “smile-seeking theory.” ___18___ For instance, one might pick a luxury watch over a ticket to a theater show. The person giving the gift feels a sense of pride in handing over something physical and shiny. However, shared experiences or new skills usually generate more lasting happiness, as memories stay fresh long after physical objects lose their appeal. For many, the value of a gift is tied strictly to its cost. We often spend more than necessary, believing that a high price demonstrates deep respect. ___19___ In reality, data indicates that the amount spent has very little impact on how much the receiver actually enjoys the gift. As Professor Jeffrey Galak notes, we often overestimate the influence of a large price tag. Ultimately, successful gifting requires recognizing what the recipient truly values and choosing lasting satisfaction over a quick reaction. ___20___ Thus, a gift chosen with genuine care is rarely a failure and will likely strengthen your emotional bond. A. The need to be unique can often backfire. B. True satisfaction comes from the bond, not the expense. C. Therefore, high prices always lead to more appreciation. D. This theory explains our tendency to choose physical items. E. Givers usually prioritize the instant reaction of the recipient. F. Yet, following a few psychological tips can improve your success. G. But studies prove that higher costs don’t guarantee more appreciation. 三．完型填空：每空1分,共15分 On the last day of high school, our classroom felt different.

As a child, he would drag his grandfather to the riverside, staring at the graceful steel arches that connected two sides of the city. “Bridges are proof that humans can build something that lasts,” his grandfather, a retired civil engineer, would say. “They carry people’s trust, Leo. Never forget that.” That belief carried Leo through college. He studied structural engineering with the passion of a poet, sketching elegant designs in his notebooks and dreaming of creating landmarks that would stand for generations. When he graduated at the top of his class, he turned down a research scholarship and took a job at a prestigious construction firm, eager to build things that mattered. Reality hit hard. His first project was a shopping mall. His second, a luxury apartment complex for investors who cared only about profit margins. Every day, he sat in meetings where the discussion revolved around cutting costs, using cheaper materials, and shaving off safety margins to meet deadlines. “It meets the minimum standards,” his boss would say, shrugging off Leo’s concerns. “That’s good enough.” The turning point came when Leo was assigned to a bridge project — the kind he had dreamed of. But he soon discovered the client had requested the design be modified to save money: thinner support columns, lower-grade steel. When Leo protested, his boss pulled him aside. “Listen, kid. This is how the industry works. Nobody builds monuments anymore. We build what we’re paid to build, and we cut corners where nobody will see. You want to be an idealist? Go back to school.” That night, Leo walked to the old bridge where he used to stand with his grandfather. The city lights reflected off the water, and for the first time, he saw not beauty, but compromise — cracks in the concrete, rust on the rails that had been “scheduled for maintenance” for years. The bridge was still standing, but Leo knew it was only a matter of time. He thought of his grandfather’s words: They carry people’s trust. The next morning, Leo arrived at the office before anyone else. On his desk lay two things: the revised bridge plans with the dangerous cost-cutting measures, and a blank letter of resignation. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Leo picked up the resignation letter, then his eyes fell on the bridge plans. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Months later, Leo stood on the completed bridge, watching cars cross safely. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
