附录1：录音原文录音原文见P166 Text 1 没带作业 M: Mrs. Smith… I’ve left my homework at home. Can I use my phone quickly? W: How will that help? M: I emailed a copy to my mother. Hopefully I can download and print it out right here. (1) Text 2 为度假做准备 W: Have you bought any holiday shoes? The sand will be burning hot this time of year. M: Yeah, I’m considering these. They are designed to dry quickly, which is perfect for swimming. (2) Text 3 面试推迟 W: The company just called. My interviewer is sick, so they’re sending me a new date. M: How annoying…after all that stress and planning! W: Honestly, I’m happy to have more time to prepare! (3) Text 4 搬入新居 M: How’s the new place? W: There’s so little room. I can make a cup of tea without leaving my bed. (4) But it’s cheap, particularly for the area. And it’s lovely having my own space. No more roommates! Text 5 乘飞机 M: Ugh… I’m nervous. I’m used to having someone with me! W: You’ll be fine! A local flight is no harder than catching a bus. Just don’t forget your bags! (5) Text 6 做饭解压 M: I don’t understand you. You tell me how busy and stressed you are. So, I suggest ordering takeout, to be quick. (6) Instead, I find you making homemade noodles! W: Yeah! So? M: Well, I know takeout isn’t healthy, but we can afford a treat, now and then. W: But that’s just it… Cooking relaxes me. (7) M: How? With all those different steps and timings to remember? W: Well, I only make old favorites. That way, I needn’t think. I can just “do”. It clears my mind. (7) Text 7 陪伴式学习 M: There’s the alarm. 2:20 p.m. on the nose. (10) W: I’m glad I tried this new way — it really works! (8) I was so focused. It felt like five minutes! M: Amazing, right? W: I don’t know why having someone else working beside me helps, but it does. I’ve achieved so much more with you here… Three chapters read, and I’ve made a start on my essay. (8) M: Great! And, look… All my shirts are freshly pressed and ready for the week! (9) W: Well done! Could you manage another 45 minutes? I’d love to finish the introduction today. M: Yeah, I still have my trousers and T-shirts to do. Let’s reward ourselves with a 10-minute break, then carry on. (10) W: Perfect! Text 8 警惕克隆账户 W: Has Auntie Jess sent you a new friend request? (11) (12) M: Why would she? Oh, wait… Yeah. That’s strange. W: That’s definitely her in the picture, right? M: Yeah. I took it at Ellis Beach. Oh dear. Looks like her account’s been copied. W: Maybe she’s just created a new one? M: Doubt it. She can’t even text without help. She’s worse than Grandma! (11) W: So, what do we do? M: I’ll call her and ask. If it’s not her, I’ll report the account and get it removed. Meanwhile, you message the family group chat and tell Mom, Dad, and everyone not to accept the request. (12) (13) W: OK. (13) What happens if they do? M: Well, sometimes copied accounts are used to target loved ones for money. So, let’s sort it out. Text 9 原谅同事 (第17题为推断题) W: What a beautiful day! Let’s walk around the lake once we’ve finished our picnic. (14) M: Sounds good! So, how are things, Alice? (15) (16) W: I think I’m ready to forgive Rachel. (15) M: Really? I’m not sure I could. You almost lost your job! W: But the truth is out now. Everyone knows she messed up that customer presentation, not me. (15) And losing her management position seems to have taught her a lesson. M: Still… That doesn’t mean you must accept what she did. W: No. But forgiveness isn’t about excusing someone’s actions. It’s about letting go. (16) As they say, “Holding onto your anger is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die.” M: Wise words! W: Now I’ve moved departments, and I seldom see her around the office anymore. So, my anger wasn’t even affecting her…only me. Letting go has allowed me to find peace again. M: Well, I think it’s very big of you! Text 10 如何在AI时代保持职业竞争力 (第18题为总结题) Good morning, everyone. Your generation is in an interesting situation. Right now, you’re studying for the college entry exam and planning your future careers. (19) At the same time, the working world is changing before your eyes. With thousands of jobs already lost to AI and robots, how do you know your chosen path isn’t a “dead end”? The answer lies in developing skills that machines cannot easily replace. For example, computers process information quickly, but struggle with context and complex decision-making. People with fresh ideas, who can think independently to find creative solutions, will always be most valued by employers. (20) Secondly, technology will never match the human ability for communication. And as the world gets “smaller” thanks to the internet, relationship-building skills, mental flexibility, and cultural awareness will become increasingly important. Of course, the careers of today may not even exist tomorrow. So, be open to change and to learning new things. That’s the way to keep pace in this fast-moving world. *语料优选* ▶ press /pres/ v. 熨平；烫平 delete /dɪˈliːt/ v. 删去；删除 forgiveness /fərˈɡɪvnəs/ n. 原谅；宽恕 awareness /əˈwernəs/ n. 意识 ▶ order takeout 订外卖 carry on 继续做 dead end 绝境 keep pace （与……）步调一致 ▶ It clears my mind. 它（做饭）让我放空自己。 There’s the alarm. 2:20 p.m. on the nose. 闹钟响了。下午2点20分整。 Holding onto your anger is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die. 心怀怨恨就如同饮下毒药却期望对方因此丧命。 1-5.

A 【导语】文章介绍赞比亚医疗志愿项目的内容、利弊、优势及参与者的收获与感悟。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一个表格中Pros部分中“Get a well-rounded experience by volunteering at hospitals, local homes, and community health education centers. (通过在医院、当地家庭和社区健康教育中心做志愿者，获得全面的体验。)”可知，该项目的优势在于志愿者可以在医院、当地家庭和社区健康教育中心等多个地点服务，即拥有多样化的志愿服务场所。 【22题详解】细节理解题。根据第二个表格上方段落中“Outside of volunteering, Livingstone is a stone’s throw from Victoria Falls and other areas of amazing natural beauty in Zambia. (在志愿服务之外，利文斯敦距离维多利亚瀑布和赞比亚其他拥有惊人自然美景的地区仅一步之遥。)”可知，志愿者在志愿服务之余可以前往维多利亚瀑布等自然美景地区，即可以游览自然景点。 【23题详解】细节理解题。根据最后Catherine的评价中“It also truly helped me realize what I want to do with my future. (它也真正帮助我认清了自己未来想要做什么。)”可知，这次经历让她认清了自己未来的方向，即有了清晰的未来规划。 B 篇 ： 24. D 25. A 26. C 27. B 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要说明了人口老龄化下，一对悉尼夫妇主动缩小住房，忍痛舍弃怀旧旧物。迁居后生活轻松安心，其孙女也由此创业，专门帮助家庭完成精简搬家的全过程。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“They no longer needed a large house for big parties.(他们不再需要那么大的房子来举办大型聚会了)”可知，这对悉尼的夫妇决定减少住房面积是因为他们认为大房子并非必要之物。故选D。 【25题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“Their home was filled with items of emotional attachment. They passed some, like a 1927 dining table, to their grandchildren, and donated other pieces to charity.(他们的家中摆满了承载着深厚情感的物品。他们将一些物品，比如一张1927年的餐桌，传给了自己的孙辈，而将其他一些物品则捐赠给了慈善机构)”可知，家里满是饱含情感的物品，需要转送、捐赠，letting go指割舍承载回忆与情感的私人物品。故划线词意思是“舍弃那些珍贵的物品”。故选A。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Her company now helps families with the entire downsizing process, handling everything from removing unnecessary items to setting up the new home with care and patience.(她的公司现在会为家庭提供整个减缩物品的全过程服务，涵盖从清理多余物品到精心布置新家等所有环节，而且整个过程都充满耐心与细心)”可知，艾玛·奥·沙利文最近在协助进行缩小住房的过程。故选C。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“Since the move, life has become simpler and more enjoyable. Living in a smaller space is easy to keep clean, and they have no maintenance worries.(自从搬家以来，生活变得更加简单且更加愉快了。居住在一个较小的空间里便于保持整洁，而且他们也不用担心维护问题)”结合文章主要说明了人口老龄化下，一对悉尼夫妇主动缩小住房，忍痛舍弃怀旧旧物。迁居后生活轻松安心，其孙女也由此创业，专门帮助家庭完成精简搬家的全过程。可知，这篇文章主要讲的是更小居住空间，让老人生活更幸福。故选B。 C 篇 ：28.

But the rules are widely ignored and carelessly carried out.(大多数社交媒体平台理论上禁止13岁以下用户使用，这一规定被广泛采用以保护儿童的在线隐私。但这些规则被广泛忽视且执行草率)”可知，大多数平台的问题在于没有严格执行针对儿童的规则。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Younger teenagers lack driving licenses and credit cards that often serve as proof of age, so many companies use machine learning to estimate age via selfie (自拍照).(年龄较小的青少年缺乏通常用作年龄证明的驾照和信用卡，因此许多公司使用机器学习通过自拍来估算年龄)”可知，平台难以确认青少年年龄是因为他们缺乏官方的年龄证明文件。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The age limits, to the worries of some social platforms, will hit them harder than others.(令一些社交媒体平台担忧的是，年龄限制对它们的打击将比其他平台更严重)”可知，新的年龄限制将严重打击社交媒体平台。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。文章开篇介绍了澳大利亚推出全球最严屏幕使用时间限制，随后分析了年龄验证难、适用范围界定不清及平台责任等问题，核心是探讨这一禁令能否奏效。选项B“Strictest Social Media Ban: Whether It Will Work(最严社媒禁令：能否奏效)”准确概括了文章主旨，适合作为标题。 D 篇: 32.A 33.

With African Impact you’ll jump into 4 weeks of medical volunteering focused on supporting communities in need around the Livingstone area. Projects address topics like public health, physical health and disease prevention, and health education. You will find opportunities to assist in a range of activities, with more focus on your personal areas of knowledge and interest. Project coordinators (协调员) help support your professional development throughout the experience. Outside of volunteering, Livingstone is a stone’s throw from Victoria Falls and other areas of amazing natural beauty in Zambia. As a volunteer, you’ll stay at a comfortable backpacker’s hostel (旅社), where you’ll meet countless new friends you’re unlikely to forget. Not only did I actually feel the impact the medical project that I was part of had on the communities but I made the most amazing memories! It also truly helped me realize what I want to do with my future. — Catherine 21. What is a major advantage of the African Impact program in Zambia? A. It includes free local tours. B. It offers swimming lessons. C. It has various volunteer sites. D. It needs experienced backpackers. 22. What can volunteers expect apart from volunteering? A. Local festivals. B. Natural attractions. C. Language training. D. Adventure activities. 23. What did Catherine get from her experience with African Impact? A. Clear future plans. B. Lifelong friendships. C. Medical qualifications. D. International recognition. B With an ageing population, the ‘downsizing dilemma’ is one confronting thousands of older Australians. For the Sydney couple, Anne and Dudley, they made the choice to downsize into independent living before any health crisis forced them to. Their decision was clear. They no longer needed a large house for big parties. Research shows most want to stay in their local area, and for them, it was an easy one — they could see their new apartment, ‘The Grove by Elysium,’ from their old house’s balcony. However, letting go was the hardest part. Their home was filled with items of emotional attachment. They passed some, like a 1927 dining table, to their grandchildren, and donated other pieces to charity. “You can’t keep it all,” Anne says. Since the move, life has become simpler and more enjoyable. Living in a smaller space is easy to keep clean, and they have no maintenance worries. They’ve also embraced the community’s social life, participating in yoga, walking groups, and happy hours. Dudley, with balance issues, uses the onsite pool regularly. Most importantly, they feel a sense of security. “We have comfort knowing that if anything happens, we are already here. We don’t have to move again,” says Dudley. Helping them through this emotional transition was their granddaughter, Emma O’ Sullivan, a professional organizer. The experience with her grandparents gave her a new perspective, deepening her empathy for clients. Her company now helps families with the entire downsizing process, handling everything from removing unnecessary items to setting up the new home with care and patience. 24. Why did the Sydney couple decide to downsize? A. They had to move due to health problems. B. They wanted to escape from the local area. C. They needed to save money for big parties. D. They considered a large house unnecessary. 25. What does the underlined phrase “letting go” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Parting with memorable possessions. B. Forgetting past life experiences. C. Selling old furniture. D. Giving up jobs. 26. What has Emma O’ Sullivan been doing recently? A. Organizing social activities. B. Dealing with personal items. C. Assisting with downsizing process. D. Providing emotional guidance. 27. What is the text mainly about? A. Less is more. B. Smaller space, happier elders. C. More downsizers, better communities. D. Forgetting the past, embracing the future. C “We’ve got your back,” Australia’s prime minister, Anthony Albanese, told parents on November 29th, a day after pushing through some of the world’s strictest limits on screen time. Under-16s will be banned from using social media in a year for their protection. Parents high-fived. Teenagers frowned. Policymakers around the world took notes. Most social-media platforms are theoretically off-limits for under-13s, which is widely adopted to protect children’s online privacy. But the rules are widely ignored and carelessly carried out. It’s reported that 22% of Britain’s social-media users aged between 8 and 17 have an account with an adult’s date of birth. Now governments are taking action. Some European countries require younger teens to get parents’ permission before signing up. Australia is the first country to enact a blanket ban. Now there is the first problem to solve: the application. Younger teenagers lack driving licenses and credit cards that often serve as proof of age, so many companies use machine learning to estimate age via selfie (自拍照). However, today such models still can’t be accurate enough between people with light and dark skins. They can be very wrong about the ages. Then, how broad should crackdowns (制裁) on social media be? Social media feature everything from video to messaging. The Australian government has suggested that Instagram will fall under its ban but that YouTube will not, for its “significant” educational content. But this obviously can’t convince everyone. Another question is who should carry out the checks. Australia is placing the burden on the social-media platforms: “You create the risk; you’ve got to deal with it.” But how can the platforms ensure that the user information they receive is genuine? To advertisers, young users are actually not especially valuable targets: Ads aimed at under-16s probably make up a “low single-digit percentage” of spending. The age limits, to the worries of some social platforms, will hit them harder than others. The winter of their business is on the way. 28. What is the problem with most social media platforms? A. They don’t set limits on the children users. B. They expose children’s personal information. C. They don’t strictly enforce the rules on children. D. They ignore the children’s needs for socializing. 29. Why is it difficult for the platforms to confirm a younger teen’s age? A. Those teens have no official proof of age. B. Many applicants’ photos are beautified. C. The platforms lack related qualifications. D. Machine learning is not widely applied. 30. Who will be badly affected by the new age limits? A. Policymakers. B. Parents. C. Advertisers. D. Platforms. 31. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Tech Regulation: Teenagers Cast Their Doubts B. Strictest Social Media Ban: Whether It Will Work C. Voice of Australian Government: We Protect You D. Winter to Come: How Business Reacts to Change D China’s space technology team has made an important breakthrough in combining AI and space technology. The self developed geographic information platform MerakGIS, created by the Hangzhou Center of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, has built a new intelligent system for space-air information processing. This system has caught wide attention from experts and people in the industry since it was released last month. This platform creatively combines large language models with agent technology, shifting the traditional “human-computer interaction” mode to a more effective “human-machine cooperation” one. Users can simply input their questions or requirements, and the system intelligently explains complicated satellite pictures, combines diverse spatial (空间的) datasets, and does advanced studies. Now, users can complete satellite image interpretation, space data combining, and smart checking directly by using natural language instructions. This makes it much easier for non-experts to use. Even people with little technical training can use it easily and quickly. To improve independent innovation, the team has worked together with Zhejiang University and Zhejiang Laboratory on technical research and achievement transformation. They have spent nearly two years solving key problems and testing the system again and again. Their continuous efforts focused on solving the problems of data working well together and making the AI algorithms (算法) better. At present, MerakGIS has been successfully used in the new energy field, providing stable spatial data services and management support for more than 1, 000 solar power stations across the country. It has helped these stations improve their work efficiency by about 30%. This achievement combines high-precision “aerospace core” with intelligent “AI brain”, expanding the use of space-air information in strategic emerging industries and showing aerospace technology’s value in serving national economy and people’s livelihood. The team says they will keep improving MerakGIS and hope to apply it in more fields like agriculture and environmental protection in the future. 32. What is the primary purpose of creating MerakGIS? A. To process space-air information. B. To promote AI technology. C. To attract worldwide experts. D. To develop new satellites. 33. Which is an innovation of the platform? A. It relies on satellite image analysis. B. It cuts aerospace technology costs. C. It operates through natural language. D. It replaces human workers entirely. 34. What can be inferred about the platform’s development? A. It was finished within a month after being released. B. It took joint work to improve integration and algorithms. C. It was tested once and applied immediately nationwide. D. It relied mainly on overseas labs for core technology. 35. Which of the following best describes the future of MerakGIS? A. Uncertain. B. Profitable. C. Doubtful. D. Promising. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Every living thing depends on the ocean. So when we hear the ocean is in trouble from the effects of overfishing, climate change, and pollution, it’s easy to feel powerless. 36 But there are plenty of measures you can take that will make a big difference to the ocean. 37 The more you learn about the ocean, the better prepared you’ll be to inspire change and help others do the same. Thankfully, there are many ways to educate yourself about the ocean and the challenges it faces, from books and documentaries to websites, museums, art exhibits, and more. Check the label. Help keep fisheries healthy by choosing sustainable seafood when you go to the grocery store or dine out. 38 Look for the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) and Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) labels. Their blue and green fish logos on your seafood ensure your fish can be traced back to sustainably-managed fisheries and farms. Reduce your carbon emissions. 39 That can lead to warmer waters, which can affect where fish swim, bleach (漂白) coral reefs, speed up the sea-level rise, and change weather events on land. Decrease the effects of climate change on the ocean by cutting your carbon footprint at home: turn off lights when you’re not using them, walk or ride your bike to work, and demand renewable energy options in your community. Travel smarter. Consider booking your next trip through a responsible travel company that’s committed to protecting wildlife and using guides who are aware of rules and best practices. Once you arrive at your destination, be respectful of marine life and habitats. And be careful about your purchases. 40 A. Increase your ocean IQ. B. Skip the single-use plastics. C. What should be done to travel responsibly? D. What’s the easiest way to make sure your seafood is sustainable? E. Many of these issues will require leadership from governments and businesses. F. In the last decades, the ocean has absorbed 90% of the extra heat created by burning fossil fuels. G. Purchasing items like shark products damages delicate ecosystems and threatens endangered species. 第三部分：语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Xia Yujie, owner of China’s first accessible pub — Pub Handy Cup, had his left hand disabled in a middle school medical accident.

Under the sheltering tree of their friendship, they had shared countless laughs and whispered secrets, though they had different personalities: Sophia preferred quiet reading while Melody loved exploring the new city paths on her old bicycle. Even the strongest trees can be shaken by a sudden storm. One afternoon, a small misunderstanding gathered into a dark cloud that threatened their precious bond. It began with a crucial literature project that would significantly impact their final grade. Sophia, always the planner, had spent the entire afternoon alone in the quiet classroom preparing their presentation. Her fingers moved quickly and skillfully across the keyboard as she arranged slides and typed notes. Each slide was filled with strong arguments and well-chosen pictures that showed how hard she had worked. As evening approached, painting the classroom windows in shades of orange and grey, she kept looking at the clock. Her worry grew with every minute. Melody was late again. The empty chair beside her seemed to laugh at her, making her feel both lonely and angry at the same time. When Melody finally rushed in, breathless and upset, her explanation came out as a confused mix of words. “I’m so sorry, but my…” she began, only to be cut off by Sophia whose patience had run out. “Something always happens with you! Do you ever stop to consider how your actions affect others?” The sharp words flew out, and Melody’s initially apologetic expression hardened instantly. “And you always have to control everything! It’s so tiring trying to meet your perfect standards!” she shot back, her voice shaking with strong emotion. The air in the room became thick and difficult to breathe, filled with their hurt feelings and wounded pride. They picked up their books in angry silence, the half-finished project now representing the broken foundation of their friendship. Walking home on different sides of the street, the setting sun created two separate shadows stretching behind them — a perfect picture of the sudden space that had grown between them. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150左右；（2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: That night, Sophia lay in bed, worried about their relationship and the project. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: The next day, Melody arrived early at the cafe, hoping to continue her interrupted explanation. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
