The Vertical Forest Gallery — Singapore This eight-story gallery looks like a living tower. The building uses recycled wood and self-cleaning glass, while rainwater is collected to water the plants. Inside, the main exhibit, “Rainforest Dreams,” features large-scale light projections of endangered animals combined with real preserved leaves and soil samples. Visitors can also step into a sound room to enjoy bird calls from Borneo. Opening Hours: 10:00 — 19:00. Entry: $15. The Silk Road Echo — Samarkand, Uzbekistan Housed in a beautifully restored 15th-century caravanserai, this museum brings ancient trade routes to life. The highlight is a 3D interactive map showing how silk, spices, and paper travelled from China to Rome. Visitors can touch digital replicas of Sogdian coins, ceramic bowls, and a fragment of a 1,000-year-old camel bell. Opening Hours: 9:00 — 18:00 (closed Mondays). Entry: $8. The Ice Typography Museum — Helsinki, Finland Open only from December to March, this seasonal museum is rebuilt each winter using ice blocks harvested from local lakes and supported by steel frames. The exhibition, “Words in Ice”, features poems and climate messages carved into slowly melting walls — meaning the art changes daily. Visitors are given heat-sensitive gloves to trace disappearing letters. Opening Hours: 12:00 — 20:00 (closed Christmas Eve). Entry: $2. The Afro-Futurist Centre — Lagos, Nigeria Designed to look like a spaceship landing in a garden, this centre uses woven bamboo panels and recycled metal sheets. Inside, visitors can see robotic masks that move to traditional drumbeats, AI-generated patterns based on Yoruba textiles, and a 15-minute sci-fi film called “Lagos 2100”. A small workshop area invites guests to design their own futuristic African patterns. Opening Hours: 11:00 — 18:00 (closed Sundays). Entry: $4. 1. Which of the following charges the lowest entry fee? A. The Vertical Forest Gallery. B. The Ice Typography Museum. C. The Afro-Futurist Centre. D. The Silk Road Echo. 2. What do The Vertical Forest Gallery and The Afro-Futurist Centre have in common? A. They use sustainable materials. B. They exhibit musical instruments. C. They house traditional resources. D. They offer hands-on experiences. 3. Where is this text probably taken from? A. A geography textbook. B. A travel guide. C. A science report. D. An entertainment journal. 【答案】1. B 2. A 3. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了2026年四处兼具建筑、艺术与历史价值的文化热门旅行地，分别从场馆特色、内部展品、开放时间及门票价格等方面进行详细说明。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据The Vertical Forest Gallery — Singapore部分“Entry: $15.”、The Silk Road Echo — Samarkand, Uzbekistan部分“Entry: $8.”、The Ice Typography Museum — Helsinki, Finland部分“Entry: $2.”以及The Afro-Futurist Centre — Lagos, Nigeria部分“Entry: $4.”对比可知，The Ice Typography Museum门票价格最低。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据The Vertical Forest Gallery — Singapore部分“The building uses recycled wood and self-cleaning glass, while rainwater is collected to water the plants.(该建筑采用再生木材和自清洁玻璃建造，同时收集雨水用于浇灌绿植。)”以及The Afro-Futurist Centre — Lagos, Nigeria部分“Designed to look like a spaceship landing in a garden, this centre uses woven bamboo panels and recycled metal sheets.(该中心外观设计如同降落于花园中的宇宙飞船，使用编织竹板与再生金属板材搭建。)”可知，两处场馆均使用可持续环保材料。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“If you are looking for meaningful travel experiences in 2026, these four cultural hotspots offer a perfect mix of architecture, art, and history.(如果你正在寻找2026年有意义的旅行体验，这四个文化热点融合了建筑、艺术与历史。)”以及下文依次介绍四处景点特色、展品、开放时间、门票费用等方面可知，文章最有可能出自旅行指南。 B Dreams often take root in the smallest corners of our lives, long before we realize that they are quietly guiding us toward something extraordinary. In Yerramala Palle, a quiet village in Andhra Pradesh’s Kadapa district, a young girl once threw a cricket (板球) ball into the air, never knowing this simple act would one day reshape her life. Shree Charani grew up in a modest family with her parents and elder sister. From an early age, she showed a keen interest in sports and tried badminton, volleyball and cricket. “I started playing cricket when I was in Grade one. My family all loved the sport, and that’s how my journey began.” Charani recalled. “I used to play with them in our yard. It was not until Grade 7 that my father bought me my first cricket kit, which made me even more determined to keep playing.” Charani’s daily life centered entirely on cricket practice. She got up early every morning to train, even on weekends. Injuries were unavoidable, yet she never let them stop her. Once, she fell heavily and broke her right arm while playing, but she didn’t cry or tell anyone. “Later, we noticed her discomfort and rushed her to the hospital. She was so tough that she didn’t complain at all,” recalled her elder sister. However, her greatest challenge was not on the field. Villagers often questioned Charani, asking why she had a boyish hairstyle and spent all her time on a boy’s sport. The message was clear: as a girl, her future should be marriage and family, not sports, dreams or ambition. But Charani ignored these voices and stuck firmly to her dream. From her quiet village to world cricket stadiums, Charani’s journey vividly proves what can be achieved when talent meets perseverance. Today, Shree Charani is not just an outstanding athlete, but a symbol of courage and determination. She shows the world that a dream nurtured in silence can light the way for anyone who dares to believe and pursue. 4. Why did Shree Charani start playing cricket? A. She had a natural talent for it. B. She wanted to prove girls could play. C. Her father forced her to play. D. Her family fueled her interest. 5. Why does the author mention Charani’s broken arm? A. To show the risks of playing cricket. B. To highlight her toughness and persistence. C. To explain why family support matters. D. To prove girls face more challenges in sports. 6. What was the biggest difficulty Charani faced? A. Frequent injuries in training. B. Pressures from competitions. C. Social prejudice against girls. D. Lack of professional coaches. 7. What message does the text want to convey? A. All people are born equal. B. Actions speak louder than words. C. Talent cannot guarantee greatness. D. Where there is a will, there is a way. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】文章讲述了印度女孩查拉尼热爱板球、不惧伤病与世俗偏见，坚持追梦，最终凭借天赋与毅力收获成功的励志故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“I started playing cricket when I was in Grade one. My family all loved the sport, and that’s how my journey began.(我一年级就开始打板球。我的家人都热爱这项运动，我的板球生涯就此开启)”可知，查拉尼开始打板球是因为家人激发了她的兴趣。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Once, she fell heavily and broke her right arm while playing, but she didn’t cry or tell anyone. “Later, we noticed her discomfort and rushed her to the hospital. She was so tough that she didn’t complain at all,” recalled her elder sister.(有一次，她打球时重重摔倒，摔断了右臂，但她没有哭，也没有告诉任何人。她的姐姐回忆道：“后来我们发现她身体不适，赶紧送她去医院。她非常坚强，丝毫没有抱怨”)”可知，作者提及她摔断胳膊的经历，是为了凸显她的坚韧和坚持不懈。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“However, her greatest challenge was not on the field. Villagers often questioned Charani, asking why she had a boyish hairstyle and spent all her time on a boy’s sport. The message was clear: as a girl, her future should be marriage and family, not sports, dreams or ambition.(然而，她最大的挑战并非来自赛场。村民们经常质疑查拉尼，质问她为何留着男孩的发型、整日从事男孩子的运动。其中的意味不言而喻：身为女孩，她的归宿应当是婚姻和家庭，而非体育、梦想与抱负)”可知，查拉尼面临的最大困难是社会对女性从事体育运动的偏见。。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章讲述了查拉尼克服运动伤病、世俗偏见，坚守板球梦想并最终成功的经历，最后一段“Charani’s journey vividly proves what can be achieved when talent meets perseverance. She shows the world that a dream nurtured in silence can light the way for anyone who dares to believe and pursue.(查拉尼的经历生动证明了天赋加毅力所能成就的一切。她向世界证明，默默孕育的梦想，能够为每一个敢于相信、勇于追求的人照亮前路)”传递出有志者事竟成的主旨。 C In the classic story The Little Engine That Could, a small blue train engine laboriously moves up a hill. She’s dragging cars stuffed full of toys and food for children on the other side. The train engine wills herself up the steep (陡峭的) hill by singing: “I think I can, I think I can, I think I can.” Stories of sticking things out, often under tough circumstances, are common in the United States and other industrial countries. “As a society, we value perseverance (坚持),” says Andreea Gavrila, a psychology expert at Université du Québec à Montréal in Canada. The new year is a time people often set resolutions. Clean out your house. Start a new hobby. Exercise more. But rather than always choose something new to do, researchers suggest, maybe consider the opposite. “It’s time to reassess at the end of the year, ‘What is something I don’t need in my life anymore?’” says Rachit Dubey, who studies human motivation at the University of California. “Past goals may have become impractical to work toward. Maybe they felt too hard or cost too much. Or they just no longer match what you want for your life now. Continuing to work toward goals that don’t fit can cause physical and mental health problems.” But the idea of quitting has a bad reputation. So sometimes, letting go can be tougher than persevering. It’s natural to resist giving up. Once you’ve spent time, money or energy on something, you want to see it pay off. This is called a “sunk-cost” bias. This bias may be hardwired in our brains. People don’t just wake up one day and say, “I’m done.” and seamlessly (无缝地) move on to their next adventure. “There’s all this difficulty in letting go of the goal,” says Gavrila. But what’s clear is that sticking to an outgrown goal can do more harm than good. Cutting some ties can clear space in your life to pursue things that really matter to you. And finding a new path forward may first require the courage to say, “I think I can’t.” 8. What does the author want to show by telling the classic story? A. Self-trust is the key to success. B. Perseverance is a treasured quality. C. Tough circumstances are nothing to fear. D. Stories are commonly used to show social values. 9. What does Rachit Dubey think people should do at the end of the year? A. Set new resolutions. B. Remove unfit resolutions. C. Keep track of their old resolutions. D. Assess their progress in the past year. 10. Which of the following best describes the “sunk-cost” bias? A. Giving up can bring benefits. B. More efforts lead to better outcomes. C. We tend to prefer a new goal to the old one. D. The more we invest, the less we want to quit. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Power of Goal Setting B. The Psychology Behind Giving Up C. Best Way to Reach a Goal: Quit One D. New Year Resolutions: To Keep or to Abandon 【答案】8. B 9. B 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】文章先借经典绘本故事说明社会普遍推崇坚持不懈的品质，接着提出新观点：年末不必一味设立新目标，应当舍弃不再适配自身的旧计划，文章还解释了沉没成本偏见让人难以放手的心理，最后点明执着于过时目标弊大于利，敢于放弃才能奔赴真正重要的追求。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Stories of sticking things out, often under tough circumstances, are common in the United States and other industrial countries. ‘As a society, we value perseverance,’ says Andreea Gavrila, a psychology expert at Université du Québec à Montréal in Canada. (这类讲述人在困境中咬牙坚持的故事，在美国及其他工业化国家十分常见。加拿大魁北克大学蒙特利尔分校心理学专家安德里亚・加夫里拉表示，我们整个社会都推崇坚持不懈的品质。)”可推知，作者讲述经典故事是为了说明坚持是一种被人们珍视的品质。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段中“‘It’s time to reassess at the end of the year, ‘What is something I don’t need in my life anymore?’’ says Rachit Dubey, who studies human motivation at the University of California. ‘Past goals may have become impractical to work toward. Maybe they felt too hard or cost too much. Or they just no longer match what you want for your life now. Continuing to work toward goals that don’t fit can cause physical and mental health problems.’ (加州大学研究人类行为动机的拉希特・杜贝说：‘年末我们应当重新审视，问问自己‘生活里还有哪些东西是我不再需要的？’过去定下的目标或许已经不切实际，可能难度过高、成本太大，也可能和你当下的人生追求不再契合。一味坚持不适合自己的目标，会引发身心健康问题。’)”可知，拉希特・杜贝认为人们年底应该移除不再适合的目标。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第五段中“Once you’ve spent time, money or energy on something, you want to see it pay off. This is called a ‘sunk-cost’ bias. (一旦你在某件事上投入了时间、金钱或是精力，你就想要得到回报，这就是‘沉没成本’偏见。)”可知，沉没成本偏见指投入越多，我们越不愿意放弃。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段中“But what’s clear is that sticking to an outgrown goal can do more harm than good. Cutting some ties can clear space in your life to pursue things that really matter to you. (但很明确的是，坚持已经不再合适的目标弊大于利，切断一些牵绊可以为你的生活腾出空间，追求真正对你重要的事物。)”并结合全文可知，文章核心观点为坚持过时不合适的目标弊大于利，放弃不合适的旧目标才能腾出空间追求真正重要的新目标，C选项“Best Way to Reach a Goal: Quit One (实现目标的最佳方式：放弃一个)”能概括文章主旨，适合作为标题。 D According to the World Health Organization, there is a severe shortage of mental health professionals. Roughly one-third of people with mental health conditions, especially in poor countries, receive no treatment at all. Even in wealthy nations, many cannot afford or access timely care. In response to this crisis, AI-powered chatbots have emerged as a promising alternative, offering round-the-clock, low-cost support to millions worldwide. Powered by large language models (LLMs), modern chatbots have become more advanced, able to hold natural conversations and adjust replies to suit individual users. To boost their therapeutic effects, researchers have developed specialized tools such as Therabot and Ash. Therabot, trained with simulated dialogues between therapists and patients, cut depressive symptoms by 51% in clinical trials, while Ash can select proper therapeutic methods according to users’ real feelings. Researchers also found users tend to feel less pressured to share personal troubles with an AI than with a human therapist, making the tools a dependable choice for daily mental health care. Yet AI therapy still carries obvious risks. In some extreme cases, chatbots may offer inappropriate and even harmful advice to emotionally fragile users. Besides, they often fail to spot risky crisis thoughts like suicidal tendency or intervene to correct users’ unhealthy behaviors. Worse still, their overly agreeable replies may stop them from handling mental problems such as eating disorders properly. To strike a balance between safety and technological innovation, researchers are polishing professional AI models and equipping them with crisis detection functions. Meanwhile, governments are also taking active measures. Several US states have already introduced laws to regulate AI mental health tools and guard against potential risks. Although AI therapy cannot fully take the place of human therapists at present, it can act as a valuable first-line support for people in need. It will offer reliable mental health care to those who would otherwise have no access to professional help, as long as it is properly regulated and continuously improved. 12. What contributes to the popularity of AI mental health therapists? A. Higher accessibility. B. More natural experience. C. Better treatment effects. D. Less reliable human therapists. 13. Which of the following is a potential problem of AI mental health tools? A. They add stress to communication. B. They can’t detect unhealthy behaviors. C. They always provide improper suggestions. D. They respond to users with easy approval. 14. What can we learn from last paragraph? A. AI models have replaced human therapists. B. Governments are strictly limiting AI mental tools. C. Joint efforts are being made to improve AI therapy. D. Safety risks of AI therapy have been totally removed. 15. What’s the author’s attitude towards AI mental health therapist? A. Cautiously optimistic. B. Reasonably doubtful. C. Entirely opposed. D. Completely indifferent. 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】文章先介绍全球心理健康专业人员短缺的现状，引出人工智能聊天机器人成为心理健康辅助新选择，阐述其优势，接着点明AI心理治疗存在的各类隐患，最后说明科研人员与政府正携手完善管控AI心理工具，作者对其发展持谨慎乐观态度。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“In response to this crisis, AI-powered chatbots have emerged as a promising alternative, offering round-the-clock, low-cost support to millions worldwide.(为应对这一危机，人工智能聊天机器人成为极具前景的替代方案，为全球数百万人提供全天候、低成本的帮扶。)”可知，AI心理治疗师全天候可用、价格低廉，拥有更高的可获得性，这是它流行的原因。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Worse still, their overly agreeable replies may stop them from handling mental problems such as eating disorders properly.(更糟糕的是，它们一味附和式的回复会使其无法妥善处理进食障碍等心理问题。)”可知，AI心理工具存在一味轻易认同用户言论的问题。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“To strike a balance between safety and technological innovation, researchers are polishing professional AI models and equipping them with crisis detection functions. Meanwhile, governments are also taking active measures.(为在安全保障与技术创新二者之间取得平衡，研究人员在优化专业AI模型、搭载危机识别功能，与此同时政府也在采取积极举措。)”可知，科研方与政府正共同发力改进AI心理治疗。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Although AI therapy cannot fully take the place of human therapists at present, it can act as a valuable first-line support for people in need. It will offer reliable mental health care to those who would otherwise have no access to professional help, as long as it is properly regulated and continuously improved.(尽管目前AI治疗无法完全取代人类治疗师，但它可为有需求的人提供重要的一线帮扶。只要加以规范管控、持续优化升级，它就能为原本无法获得专业救助的人群提供可靠心理健康服务。)”可知，作者既看到弊端、保持谨慎，又看好其后续发展，态度为谨慎且乐观。 E Renewable energy sources are abundant, regenerated by nature, and emit little to no greenhouse gases. Yet fossil fuels still account for nearly 60% of electricity generation. ____16____ Between 2015 and 2024, renewable electricity capacity jumped by 140%, while fossil fuel capacity grew only 16%. So why is there still an urgent need to accelerate the renewable energy transition? Renewables are all around us. About 80% of the global population lives in countries that are net-importers of fossil fuels. ____17____ The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) estimates that 90 percent of the world’s electricity can and should come from renewable energy by 2050. Renewable energy creates jobs. ____18____ For every dollar invested, renewables create three times as many jobs as fossil fuels. The IEA estimates that the transition towards net-zero emissions will lead to an overall increase in energy sector jobs: while about 5 million jobs in fossil fuel production could be lost by 2030, an estimated 14 million new jobs would be created in clean energy. ____19____ In 2024, $2 trillion (万亿) went into clean energy — $800 billion more than fossil fuels and up almost 70 per cent in ten years. Furthermore, energy-related carbon dioxide emissions are growing more slowly than the global economy. ____20____ However, investments in renewables will finally pay off. A. Renewable energy makes economic sense. B. The good news is that cleaner sources are gaining ground. C. Clean energy sector jobs already outnumber fossil fuel jobs. D. In contrast, renewable energy sources are available in all countries. E. The initial cost can be overwhelming for countries with limited resources. F. This means that more than 30 million jobs could be created in clean energy. G. Emissions growth slowed while the global economy expanded by 3 percent. 【答案】16. B 17. D 18. C 19. A 20. E 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍了发展可再生能源的多重价值，并指出当前清洁能源的发展已取得进展，但转型仍需加速，初期成本是部分国家的阻碍，但长期投资终将获得回报。 【16题详解】 上文“Renewable energy sources are abundant, regenerated by nature, and emit little to no greenhouse gases. Yet fossil fuels still account for nearly 60% of electricity generation. (可再生能源资源丰富，由自然再生，且几乎不排放或极少排放温室气体。然而，化石燃料仍占电力生产总量的近60%。)”提出化石能源占比高的现状，下文“Between 2015 and 2024, renewable electricity capacity jumped by 140%, while fossil fuel capacity grew only 16%. (2015年至2024年间，可再生电力装机容量增长了140%，而化石燃料发电装机容量仅增长了16%。)”用数据说明可再生能源的快速增长，空处需承上启下，引出清洁能源发展的积极趋势。因此B项“The good news is that cleaner sources are gaining ground. (好消息是，清洁能源正逐步占据上风。)”符合语境，既承接上文的转折逻辑，又引出下文的增长数据。 【17题详解】 上文“About 80% of the global population lives in countries that are net-importers of fossil fuels. (全球约80%的人口居住在化石燃料净进口国。)”说明化石能源分布不均、依赖进口的局限，下文“The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) estimates that 90 percent of the world’s electricity can and should come from renewable energy by 2050. (国际可再生能源机构(IRENA)估计，到2050年，全球90%的电力可以且应当来自可再生能源。)”展望可再生能源的发展前景，空处需对比二者的分布差异。因此D项“In contrast, renewable energy sources are available in all countries. (相比之下，可再生能源在所有国家都可获取。)”符合语境，承接上文化石能源的分布劣势，点明可再生能源的普适性，为下文的发展前景做铺垫。 【18题详解】 本段主旨句是“Renewable energy creates jobs. (可再生能源创造就业机会。)”，下文“For every dollar invested, renewables create three times as many jobs as fossil fuels. (每投资一美元，可再生能源创造的就业岗位是化石燃料的三倍。)”用投入产出数据佐证可再生能源的优势，空处需衔接主题与数据，说明就业岗位的现状。因此C项“Clean energy sector jobs already outnumber fossil fuel jobs. (清洁能源领域的岗位数量已超过化石燃料领域。)”符合语境，承接创造就业的主题，下文的效率数据为其提供支撑。 【19题详解】 下文“In 2024, $2 trillion (万亿) went into clean energy — $800 billion more than fossil fuels and up almost 70 per cent in ten years. Furthermore, energy-related carbon dioxide emissions are growing more slowly than the global economy. (2024年，全球投入清洁能源的资金达到2万亿美元，比化石燃料多出8000亿美元，十年间增长近70%。此外，与能源相关的二氧化碳排放增长速度也低于全球经济增速。)”和下文“However, investments in renewables will finally pay off. (然而，对可再生能源的投资终将获得回报。)”主要围绕可再生能源的投资与经济价值展开，空处为段首主旨句，需概括本段核心。因此A项“Renewable energy makes economic sense. (可再生能源具备经济价值。)”符合语境，能够总领全段，契合下文投资规模与长期回报的内容。 【20题详解】 下文“However, investments in renewables will finally pay off. (然而，对可再生能源的投资终将获得回报。)”含转折，肯定可再生能源具有长期回报，空处应提及发展可再生能源的挑战与难题。因此E项“The initial cost can be overwhelming for countries with limited resources. (对于资源有限的国家而言，初期成本可能高得难以承担。)”符合语境，点明了可再生能源发展的初期成本障碍，与下文投资终将回报形成转折关系。 第二节 完形填空(共15小题 满分15分) My father has always loved playing baseball since he was a child.

For Sun, tea has long been an essential part of daily life in China, which made her eager to discover ____36____ fresh tea leaves turn into the drink we enjoy. Visiting during spring, a season associated with renewal, also ____37____ (offer) her a chance to experience nature up close. Sun is not alone. On China’s lifestyle-sharing platform Xiaohongshu, ____38____ (post) about tea garden visits and tea culture experiences across the country are increasingly common. The ____39____ (enthusiastic) about tea-picking experiences reflects a growing desire among young Chinese ____40____ (step) into tradition in a more tangible way, said Zhu Yi, an associate professor at China Agricultural University in Beijing. Zhang Menglu, head of Pu’er Tengyi Tea Co, oversees about 240 hectares of tea gardens in Pu’er. During peak season, 80 to 120 participants pour into her tea garden daily where staff members teach them to identify the right buds (花芽), pick carefully, ____41____ work through each step of processing, so that they leave ____42____ the tea they have made themselves. Experiential tea picking in these gardens typically focuses on ____43____ (young) plantation trees, which are easier to manage and better suited for both educational tours and photo-oriented visits. By contrast, access to ancient tea trees ____44____ (keep) within specified zones to minimize human impact, which allows visitors to take part in immersive experiences while also ______45______ (gain) an awareness of ecological protection, according to Zhang. 【答案】36. how 37. offered 38. posts 39. enthusiasm 40. to step 41. and 42. with 43. younger 44. is kept 45. gaining 【解析】 【导语】这篇文章主要介绍了清明假期年轻人热衷茶园采茶体验，纷纷线上分享，渴望真切感受传统茶文化。茶园区分新式茶树与古茶树游览范围，兼顾游玩体验与生态保护。 【36题详解】 考查宾语从句。句意：对孙来说，茶叶早已是中国日常生活中不可或缺的一部分，这让她十分渴望了解新鲜茶叶是如何变成我们所享用的饮品的。动词discover后接宾语从句，从句结构完整，不缺主语/宾语，结合语义“新鲜茶叶如何变成我们饮用的茶”，缺少方式状语，故填连接副词how。 【37题详解】 考查动词时态。句意：春天是万物复苏的季节，这次出行也让她有机会近距离感受大自然。句子主语为动名词短语Visiting during spring，动名词作主语时谓语用单数；全文讲述清明假期的过往经历，整体为一般过去时，故填offer的过去式offered。 【38题详解】 考查名词复数形式。句意：在中国的生活方式分享平台小红书上，关于全国各地茶园探访和茶文化体验的帖子日益增多。空格处在句中作主语，后文谓语为are，说明主语是复数；post作名词意为“帖子”，故填复数形式posts。 【39题详解】 考查名词。句意：北京中国农业大学副教授朱毅表示，人们对采茶体验的热情，反映出越来越多的中国年轻人希望以更切实的方式走进传统。定冠词The后需接名词，在句中作主语；形容词enthusiastic的名词形式为enthusiasm（热情），为不可数名词。 【40题详解】 考查动词不定式。句意：北京中国农业大学副教授朱毅表示，人们对采茶体验的热情，反映出越来越多的中国年轻人希望以更切实的方式走进传统。分析句子可知，此处为固定搭配desire to do sth. 表示“做某事的渴望”，不定式作后置定语修饰desire，所以为动词不定式to step。 【41题详解】 考查连词。句意：在旺季期间，每天有80至120名参与者涌入她的茶园，工作人员会教他们如何识别合适的嫩芽、仔细采摘，并指导完成每一道加工工序，最终让参与者亲手制作出属于自己的茶叶。分析句子可知，句中identify the right buds、pick carefully、work through each step of processing是三个并列的动作，作teach的宾语补足语，并列结构中最后一个动作前需加并列连词and。 【42题详解】 考查介词。句意：在旺季期间，每天有80至120名参与者涌入她的茶园，工作人员会教他们如何识别合适的嫩芽、仔细采摘，并指导完成每一道加工工序，最终让参与者亲手制作出属于自己的茶叶。此处为固定搭配leave with sth. 表示“带着某物离开”，符合“游客带着自己亲手制作的茶离开”的语义，所以此处为介词with。 【43题详解】 考查形容词比较级。句意：这些茶园的体验式采茶活动通常以较年轻的种植树为主，这类树木更易于管理，更适合开展教育参观和摄影游览。后文By contrast（相比之下）引出对比对象ancient tea trees（古茶树），因此此处指“树龄更小的种植茶树”，需用形容词比较级younger。 【44题详解】 考查动词时态和语态。句意：相比之下，古茶树的进入区域被限制在指定范围内，以减少人为干扰，使游客既能参与沉浸式体验，又能增强对生态保护的认识，张表示。此处为谓语动词，描述客观规则用一般现在时，句子主语access to ancient tea trees（进入古茶树的权限 / 区域）和动词keep是被动关系，此处为一般现在时被动语态，主语为单数概念，所以谓语动词为is kept。 【45题详解】 考查状语从句的省略用法。句意：相比之下，古茶树的进入区域被限制在指定范围内，以减少人为干扰，使游客既能参与沉浸式体验，又能增强对生态保护的认识，张表示。分析句子可知，此处为while引导时间状语，从句主语与主句主语visitors一致，且与gain是主动关系，可省略主语和be动词，保留现在分词，所以此处为gaining。 第三部分 写作表达(共两节 满分40分) 第一节 书信写作(满分15分) 46. 假定你是李华，你校于近期成功举办了首届“职业规划体验周”（Career Planning Experience Week）活动，作为参与者，请你向校英文报投稿，介绍此次活动。内容包括： 1．活动概况； 2．体验与收获。 注意： 1．写作词数应为80个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Last week our school held the first Career Planning Experience Week, which turned out a great success.

It was a chaotic Friday evening; the smell of roasted beans mixed with the impatient murmurs of a long queue. When the “Closed” sign was finally turned over, Mark’s muscles ached for hours of standing. He dragged his tired feet to the counter, wiping away the spilled coffee and counting the cash register. While checking the cash register, his heart suddenly skipped a beat. There, nestled among the bills, was an extra one hundred dollars — crisp, unfolded, and clearly out of place. The memory hit him instantly. Earlier, a distracted businessman in a sharp gray suit had paid for his order with a large bill. Overwhelmed by endless orders and urgent shouts, Mark had been in a hurry to serve the next customer and forgot to give him the full change. The man, preoccupied with his phone calls, had hurried out without noticing. To an ordinary person, it was just a mistake. But to Mark, it was a lifeline. That crisp bill represented his overdue rent and several days of groceries. The shop’s daily earnings were already substantial, and his manager rarely double-checked the extra cash carefully. He could easily slip the money into his pocket, and the difference would likely disappear into the store’s unclear accounts, unnoticed by anyone. However, a heavy sense of guilt quickly clouded his mind, weighing him down like a stone. He glanced up at the blinking red light of the security camera in the corner, feeling as though it were judging him. He thought of his parents, who had always reminded him of the value of honesty despite their own financial struggles. Standing in the silent, dimly lit shop, Mark found himself trapped in a fierce internal battle: the desperate relief of financial security against the heavy, inescapable weight of his morality. 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。 Taking a deep breath, Mark made a decision. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A week later, a familiar figure walked into the coffee shop. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Taking a deep breath, Mark made a decision. Instead of pocketing the money to cover his rent and living costs, he resolved to return the hundred dollars to its owner. He searched through the store’s sales records and the surveillance footage, carefully noting down the time the businessman placed his order. He then reported the whole incident to his manager right away. Moved by his honesty, the manager helped him post a notice outside the shop with detailed information to look for the customer. Though still worried about his tight budget, Mark felt a huge load lifted off his chest, proud that he stuck to his principle. A week later, a familiar figure walked into the coffee shop. It was exactly the businessman in the gray suit. He had realized he never received his full change days ago and came to check the shop. Mark greeted him warmly and handed back the one hundred dollars, explaining the whole accident. Deeply impressed by Mark’s integrity, the businessman praised him sincerely. What’s more, he offered Mark a well-paid weekend tutoring job for his child. Honesty not only brought Mark peace of mind but also rewarded him with a brighter way to ease his financial trouble. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索，讲述大学生马克在咖啡店打工，打烊对账时发现多收了顾客一百美元，这笔钱刚好能解决他房租和伙食难题。他本可以悄悄私藏，但内心愧疚涌上心头，想起父母一直教导他诚实。独自留在店里的他，在金钱诱惑与道德底线之间激烈挣扎。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，本段可以写马克选择归还钱款，和店长一同寻找失主，坚守本心后内心豁然轻松。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，本段可以写一周后失主前来，马克归还钱款，对方十分赞赏并给了他高薪家教工作。 2.续写线索：选择归还钱款——寻找失主——归还钱款——失主十分赞赏——为马克提供高薪家教工作 3.词类激活： 行为类： ①决定： resolve/decide/determine ②帮助：help/assist/aid 情绪类： ①感动的：moved/touched ②担心的：be worried about/be concerned about 【点睛】【高分句型1】 Mark greeted him warmly and handed back the one hundred dollars, explaining the whole accident.

The Vertical Forest Gallery — Singapore This eight-story gallery looks like a living tower. The building uses recycled wood and self-cleaning glass, while rainwater is collected to water the plants. Inside, the main exhibit, “Rainforest Dreams,” features large-scale light projections of endangered animals combined with real preserved leaves and soil samples. Visitors can also step into a sound room to enjoy bird calls from Borneo. Opening Hours: 10:00 — 19:00. Entry: $15. The Silk Road Echo — Samarkand, Uzbekistan Housed in a beautifully restored 15th-century caravanserai, this museum brings ancient trade routes to life. The highlight is a 3D interactive map showing how silk, spices, and paper travelled from China to Rome. Visitors can touch digital replicas of Sogdian coins, ceramic bowls, and a fragment of a 1,000-year-old camel bell. Opening Hours: 9:00 — 18:00 (closed Mondays). Entry: $8. The Ice Typography Museum — Helsinki, Finland Open only from December to March, this seasonal museum is rebuilt each winter using ice blocks harvested from local lakes and supported by steel frames.

Visitors are given heat-sensitive gloves to trace disappearing letters. Opening Hours: 12:00 — 20:00 (closed Christmas Eve). Entry: $2. The Afro-Futurist Centre — Lagos, Nigeria Designed to look like a spaceship landing in a garden, this centre uses woven bamboo panels and recycled metal sheets.

B Dreams often take root in the smallest corners of our lives, long before we realize that they are quietly guiding us toward something extraordinary. In Yerramala Palle, a quiet village in Andhra Pradesh’s Kadapa district, a young girl once threw a cricket (板球) ball into the air, never knowing this simple act would one day reshape her life. Shree Charani grew up in a modest family with her parents and elder sister. From an early age, she showed a keen interest in sports and tried badminton, volleyball and cricket. “I started playing cricket when I was in Grade one. My family all loved the sport, and that’s how my journey began.” Charani recalled. “I used to play with them in our yard. It was not until Grade 7 that my father bought me my first cricket kit, which made me even more determined to keep playing.” Charani’s daily life centered entirely on cricket practice. She got up early every morning to train, even on weekends. Injuries were unavoidable, yet she never let them stop her. Once, she fell heavily and broke her right arm while playing, but she didn’t cry or tell anyone. “Later, we noticed her discomfort and rushed her to the hospital. She was so tough that she didn’t complain at all,” recalled her elder sister. However, her greatest challenge was not on the field. Villagers often questioned Charani, asking why she had a boyish hairstyle and spent all her time on a boy’s sport. The message was clear: as a girl, her future should be marriage and family, not sports, dreams or ambition. But Charani ignored these voices and stuck firmly to her dream. From her quiet village to world cricket stadiums, Charani’s journey vividly proves what can be achieved when talent meets perseverance. Today, Shree Charani is not just an outstanding athlete, but a symbol of courage and determination. She shows the world that a dream nurtured in silence can light the way for anyone who dares to believe and pursue. 4. Why did Shree Charani start playing cricket? A. She had a natural talent for it. B. She wanted to prove girls could play. C. Her father forced her to play. D. Her family fueled her interest. 5. Why does the author mention Charani’s broken arm? A. To show the risks of playing cricket. B. To highlight her toughness and persistence. C. To explain why family support matters. D. To prove girls face more challenges in sports. 6. What was the biggest difficulty Charani faced? A. Frequent injuries in training. B. Pressures from competitions. C. Social prejudice against girls. D. Lack of professional coaches. 7. What message does the text want to convey? A. All people are born equal. B. Actions speak louder than words. C. Talent cannot guarantee greatness. D. Where there is a will, there is a way. C In the classic story The Little Engine That Could, a small blue train engine laboriously moves up a hill. She’s dragging cars stuffed full of toys and food for children on the other side. The train engine wills herself up the steep (陡峭的) hill by singing: “I think I can, I think I can, I think I can.” Stories of sticking things out, often under tough circumstances, are common in the United States and other industrial countries. “As a society, we value perseverance (坚持),” says Andreea Gavrila, a psychology expert at Université du Québec à Montréal in Canada. The new year is a time people often set resolutions. Clean out your house. Start a new hobby. Exercise more. But rather than always choose something new to do, researchers suggest, maybe consider the opposite. “It’s time to reassess at the end of the year, ‘What is something I don’t need in my life anymore?’” says Rachit Dubey, who studies human motivation at the University of California. “Past goals may have become impractical to work toward. Maybe they felt too hard or cost too much. Or they just no longer match what you want for your life now. Continuing to work toward goals that don’t fit can cause physical and mental health problems.” But the idea of quitting has a bad reputation. So sometimes, letting go can be tougher than persevering. It’s natural to resist giving up. Once you’ve spent time, money or energy on something, you want to see it pay off. This is called a “sunk-cost” bias. This bias may be hardwired in our brains. People don’t just wake up one day and say, “I’m done.” and seamlessly (无缝地) move on to their next adventure. “There’s all this difficulty in letting go of the goal,” says Gavrila. But what’s clear is that sticking to an outgrown goal can do more harm than good. Cutting some ties can clear space in your life to pursue things that really matter to you. And finding a new path forward may first require the courage to say, “I think I can’t.” 8. What does the author want to show by telling the classic story? A. Self-trust is the key to success. B. Perseverance is a treasured quality. C. Tough circumstances are nothing to fear. D. Stories are commonly used to show social values. 9. What does Rachit Dubey think people should do at the end of the year? A. Set new resolutions. B. Remove unfit resolutions. C. Keep track of their old resolutions. D. Assess their progress in the past year. 10. Which of the following best describes the “sunk-cost” bias? A. Giving up can bring benefits. B. More efforts lead to better outcomes. C. We tend to prefer a new goal to the old one. D. The more we invest, the less we want to quit. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Power of Goal Setting B. The Psychology Behind Giving Up C. Best Way to Reach a Goal: Quit One D. New Year Resolutions: To Keep or to Abandon D According to the World Health Organization, there is a severe shortage of mental health professionals. Roughly one-third of people with mental health conditions, especially in poor countries, receive no treatment at all. Even in wealthy nations, many cannot afford or access timely care. In response to this crisis, AI-powered chatbots have emerged as a promising alternative, offering round-the-clock, low-cost support to millions worldwide. Powered by large language models (LLMs), modern chatbots have become more advanced, able to hold natural conversations and adjust replies to suit individual users. To boost their therapeutic effects, researchers have developed specialized tools such as Therabot and Ash. Therabot, trained with simulated dialogues between therapists and patients, cut depressive symptoms by 51% in clinical trials, while Ash can select proper therapeutic methods according to users’ real feelings. Researchers also found users tend to feel less pressured to share personal troubles with an AI than with a human therapist, making the tools a dependable choice for daily mental health care. Yet AI therapy still carries obvious risks. In some extreme cases, chatbots may offer inappropriate and even harmful advice to emotionally fragile users. Besides, they often fail to spot risky crisis thoughts like suicidal tendency or intervene to correct users’ unhealthy behaviors. Worse still, their overly agreeable replies may stop them from handling mental problems such as eating disorders properly. To strike a balance between safety and technological innovation, researchers are polishing professional AI models and equipping them with crisis detection functions. Meanwhile, governments are also taking active measures. Several US states have already introduced laws to regulate AI mental health tools and guard against potential risks. Although AI therapy cannot fully take the place of human therapists at present, it can act as a valuable first-line support for people in need. It will offer reliable mental health care to those who would otherwise have no access to professional help, as long as it is properly regulated and continuously improved. 12.

It was a chaotic Friday evening; the smell of roasted beans mixed with the impatient murmurs of a long queue. When the “Closed” sign was finally turned over, Mark’s muscles ached for hours of standing. He dragged his tired feet to the counter, wiping away the spilled coffee and counting the cash register. While checking the cash register, his heart suddenly skipped a beat. There, nestled among the bills, was an extra one hundred dollars — crisp, unfolded, and clearly out of place. The memory hit him instantly. Earlier, a distracted businessman in a sharp gray suit had paid for his order with a large bill. Overwhelmed by endless orders and urgent shouts, Mark had been in a hurry to serve the next customer and forgot to give him the full change. The man, preoccupied with his phone calls, had hurried out without noticing. To an ordinary person, it was just a mistake. But to Mark, it was a lifeline. That crisp bill represented his overdue rent and several days of groceries. The shop’s daily earnings were already substantial, and his manager rarely double-checked the extra cash carefully. He could easily slip the money into his pocket, and the difference would likely disappear into the store’s unclear accounts, unnoticed by anyone. However, a heavy sense of guilt quickly clouded his mind, weighing him down like a stone. He glanced up at the blinking red light of the security camera in the corner, feeling as though it were judging him. He thought of his parents, who had always reminded him of the value of honesty despite their own financial struggles. Standing in the silent, dimly lit shop, Mark found himself trapped in a fierce internal battle: the desperate relief of financial security against the heavy, inescapable weight of his morality. 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。 Taking a deep breath, Mark made a decision. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A week later, a familiar figure walked into the coffee shop. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
