W: Well, there’s little clear scientific evidence that any particular type of music works better: rock music and hip hop can be equally effective. Surprisingly, speed is the most important factor — positive words are a bonus, but they aren’t essential. M: Can you give an example? W: Sure! Some researchers recently analyzed the favorite tracks of 2,000 British people and the happiest song was apparently “Don’t Stop Me Now”. It has a fast speed that creates feel-good chemicals in your body. M: Oh, Dad loved playing it in the car. We all used to sing along! 听下面一段对话，完成下面小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 10.

(Fly-in项目为未来的学生提供了一个亲身体验校园生活的独特机会。)”以及第二段中“Fly-in programs provide an immersive campus experience, making universities and colleges accessible for students in advance. (Fly-in项目提供了一个沉浸式的校园体验，让学生提前了解大学和学院。)”可知，Fly-in项目的主要目的是帮助学生体验校园生活并评估大学。故选D。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据流程图中最后一部分“Submit before the deadline! (Last-minute packing leads to forgotten items.) (在截止日期前提交！最后一刻的匆忙会导致遗漏物品。)”可知，建议Fly-in项目的申请者避免在最后一刻提交资料。故选C。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据表格中Columbia University对应的“Visit Time (游览时间)”、“September 4-6, 2025(2025年9月4-6日)”和“Deadline (截止日期)”、“June 25 (6月25日)”可知，若要申请9月初的校园参观，合适的提交时间应在6月25日之前，6 月20-23日符合题意。故选A。 B My husband, children and I were in Hawaii. Here, we were introduced to the ancient Hawaiian concept of mālama (to care for) which encourages visitors to give back to the environment and local communities through activities like habitat restoration, beach cleanups or food provision. But mālama goes beyond eco-tourism — it’s about leaving a place better than you found it. And after seeking out these experiences during a three-week stay, we found mālama not only improves Hawaii, but it also made our time there much more meaningful. Mālama volunteer experiences are found across the islands. For example, on Maui, you can help restore native forests and volunteer at a nursery; while on O’ahu, visitors can clear invasive algae from Maunalua Bay. In some cases, travelers booking with partnering hotels and participating in designated activities will qualify for a discounted — or even free — night at dozens of hotels and resorts. “Mālama today is more vital than ever,” our guide Rogers said. “Too many tourists walk carelessly on our land, ignoring restrictions and damaging sensitive ecosystems... don’t just think Hawaii is beautiful; help keep it that way. It’s a shared responsibility.” As Rogers explained, mālama isn’t just about seeing or appreciating a landscape; it invites visitors to connect and contribute to it, with the idea that caring for a place fosters a stronger relationship with it. After eight days, we ventured to Molokai, Hawaii’s least developed island. No resorts or chain stores spoiled its wild beauty — just dramatic cliffs meeting rough seas. Deep in the eastern wilderness, we met Greg Solatario, whose family has taken care of this land for generations. His simple off-grid life perfectly embodied mālama. Greg welcomed us warmly before leading us through jungle-covered ruins of ancestral villages. As we approached, his son Devak blew a conch shell — a traditional request to enter. “The land remembers,” Greg explained, showing us medicinal plants and ancient fishing spots. His parting words stayed with me: “Mālama shouldn’t be just Hawaiian — the whole world needs this way of caring.” 24. How does the author present the topic in the first paragraph? A. By quoting an expert. B. By giving examples. C. By explaining a concept. D. By providing statistics. 25. What can Mālama volunteers experience in Hawaii? A. Developing Maunalua Bay. B. Reviving local forests. C. Asking for hotel discounts. D. Organizing big activities. 26. What do we know about Greg Solatario’s family? A. They built new resorts in the wild. B. They have long protected the land. C. They offered guided tours to locals. D. They fixed up the old village ruins. 27. Which of the following best describes the author’s trip in Hawaii? A. The wise improve what they enjoy. B. Where there is a will, there is a way. C. God helps those who help themselves. D. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. 【答案】24. C 25. B 26. B 27. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述作者一家在夏威夷旅行时，接触到古老的夏威夷“mālama(关爱)”理念，通过参与栖息地修复、森林恢复等相关志愿活动，既为当地环境和社区作出贡献，也让自身旅行更具意义，还介绍了不同岛屿的mālama实践及当地人对该理念的解读。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Here, we were introduced to the ancient Hawaiian concept of mālama (to care for) which encourages visitors to give back to the environment and local communities through activities like habitat restoration, beach cleanups or food provision. But mālama goes beyond eco-tourism — it’s about leaving a place better than you found it.(在这里，我们了解到古老的夏威夷“mālama(关爱)”理念，该理念鼓励游客通过栖息地修复、海滩清理或物资供给等活动，回馈环境和当地社区。但mālama不止于生态旅游——它意味着让一个地方比你发现它时更好。)”可知，作者在第一段围绕mālama理念，先介绍其定义，再说明其内涵，是通过解释概念来呈现主题的。故选C。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Mālama volunteer experiences are found across the islands. For example, on Maui, you can help restore native forests and volunteer at a nursery; while on O’ahu, visitors can clear invasive algae from Maunalua Bay.(在夏威夷群岛，随处可见mālama志愿者体验活动。例如在毛伊岛，您可以参与修复原生森林，或在植物苗圃担任志愿者；而在瓦胡岛，游客可以清理马努努阿湾的入侵藻类。)”可知，mālama志愿者能参与恢复当地森林的活动。故选B。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“we met Greg Solatario, whose family has taken care of this land for generations.(我们见到了格雷格・索拉塔里奥，他的家族世世代代都在照料这片土地。)”可知，格雷格的家族长期保护这片土地。故选B。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，结合第一段中“My husband, children and I were in Hawaii. Here, we were introduced to the ancient Hawaiian concept of mālama (to care for) which encourages visitors to give back to the environment and local communities through activities like habitat restoration, beach cleanups or food provision. But mālama goes beyond eco-tourism — it’s about leaving a place better than you found it.(我们全家在夏威夷旅行时，接触到了古老的“mālama(关爱)”理念。这个概念倡导游客通过修复生态栖息地、清洁海滩、捐赠食物等方式回馈当地环境与社区。但mālama的内涵远不止于生态旅游——其核心在于让每个到访之地因你的到来而变得更加美好)”可知，文章核心是作者一家践行mālama理念，通过志愿活动让夏威夷(他们所喜爱的旅行地)变得更好，同时自身旅行也更有意义，体现“改善所喜爱的事物”的内涵。选项 A“The wise improve what they enjoy(智者会改善他们所喜爱的事物)”符合这一主旨。故选A。 C The 18th century German philosopher Immanuel Kant lived very firmly in a world of time. He was so strict about routine that his fellow citizens of Kocnigsberg could set their watches by his afternoon walk. However, in his philosophical work, Kant was doubtful about time. He believed time is created by the human mind. Out there beyond our minds, there is no time. It’s simply a “category” of our minds that helps us to perceive objects and order our experience. The flexibility of our time perception (感知) supports Kant’s doubt. We all know time is not a fixed phenomenon but seems to pass at different speeds in different situations. For example, it seems to go slowly when we travel to unfamiliar places, or when we are bored or in pain. It seems to speed up when we’re absorbed, such as when we play music or paint. Our perception of time can change in a dramatic way. Perhaps, at least once in your life, you’ve had what is called a “Time Expansion Experience (TEE),” when seconds have stretched out into minutes. TEEs happen most frequently in accidents where perception becomes more intense than normal and thus people notice more details. In accident situations, people are often surprised by the amount of time they have to think and act. In fact, many people are convinced that time expansion spared them from their serious injury, or even death. For example, a woman who reported a TEE in which she avoided a metal barrier falling on to her car said, “For me the slowing down of the moment allowed me to decide how to escape the falling metal on us.” All of this suggests that Kant was right. Perhaps the reason why time is variable is because it doesn’t really exist—at least, outside our minds. There is no objective time out there in the universe. What we experience as time is filtered (过滤) through our minds, and so varies according to our state of mind. 28. Which of the following would Immanuel Kant approve of? A. Time is a basic quality of the world. B. Time is a record of human experience. C. Time is a situation measured by daily routine. D. Time is a mental concept generated by humans. 29. What is the main idea of paragraph 2? A. Time progresses at a constant speed. B. Full attention affects people’s sense of time. C. Time perception varies depending on context. D. People feel time slows down on special occasions. 30. What do people think of TEEs in accidents? A. Inspiring. B. Beneficial. C. Temporary. D. Painful. 31. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Secret of Time: A State of Mind B. Time Expansion: Real or Imaginary? C. Time Perception: A Philosophical Exploration D. The Clockwork of the Mind: How to Measure Time? 【答案】28. D 29. C 30. B 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了康德的时间主观性理论及人类时间感知的弹性现象。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“He believed time is created by the human mind. Out there beyond our minds, there is no time. It’s simply a “category” of our minds that helps us to perceive objects and order our experience. (他相信时间是由人类的思想创造的。在我们的意识之外，没有时间。它只是我们思维的一个“范畴”，帮助我们感知物体并安排我们的经验)”可知，康德会认可“时间是人类产生的一种精神概念”这一观点。故选D。 【29题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段中“The flexibility of our time perception (感知) supports Kant’s doubt. We all know time is not a fixed phenomenon but seems to pass at different speeds in different situations. For example, it seems to go slowly when we travel to unfamiliar places, or when we are bored or in pain. It seems to speed up when we’re absorbed, such as when we play music or paint. (我们对时间感知的灵活性支持了康德的怀疑。我们都知道时间不是一个固定的现象，在不同的情况下似乎以不同的速度流逝。例如，当我们去不熟悉的地方旅行时，或者当我们感到无聊或痛苦时，它似乎走得很慢。当我们全神贯注的时候，比如当我们玩音乐或画画的时候，它似乎会加速)”可知，该段主要讲时间感知因情境而异。故选C。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“In accident situations, people are often surprised by the amount of time they have to think and act. In fact, many people are convinced that time expansion spared them from their serious injury, or even death. For example, a woman who reported a TEE in which she avoided a metal barrier falling on to her car said, “For me the slowing down of the moment allowed me to decide how to escape the falling metal on us. ” (在发生事故的情况下，人们常常会惊讶于他们必须思考和行动的时间。事实上，许多人相信时间膨胀使他们免于重伤，甚至死亡。例如，一位女士报告说，她在时间膨胀中避开了掉到她车上的金属障碍物，她说：“对我来说，减速的那一刻让我决定如何逃离落在我们身上的金属)”可知，人们认为在事故中的时间膨胀体验是有益的。故选B。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其根据最后一段“What we experience as time is filtered (过滤) through our minds, and so varies according to our state of mind. (随着时间的流逝，我们所经历的一切都被我们的思维过滤了，因此随着我们的精神状态而变化)”可知，文章开篇介绍康德认为时间是由人类思维创造的，接着通过讲述时间感知的灵活性以及时间膨胀体验等内容，说明了时间是因我们的精神状态而变化的，所以选项A“时间的秘密：一种精神状态”能很好地概括文章主旨。故选A。 D Recycling lithium-ion (锂离子) batteries to recover their critical metals like lithium, nickel and cobalt has significantly lower environmental impacts than mining raw metals, according to a new Stanford University life cycle analysis published in Nature Communications. The study quantifies the environmental footprint of this recycling process, and finds it gives off less than half the greenhouse gases (GHGs) of conventional mining and uses about one-fourth of the water and energy of mining new metals. The environmental benefits are even greater for the scrap (废料) stream, which accounted for about 90% of the recycled supply studied. Battery recycling’s environmental impacts depend heavily on the processing facility’s location and electricity source. “A battery recycling plant in regions that rely heavily on electricity generated by burning coal would see a reduced climate advantage,” said Samantha Bunk e, one of the study’s three lead investigators. “On the other hand, freshwater shortages in regions with cleaner electricity are a great concern,” added Bunk e. Most of the study’s data for battery recycling came from Redwood Materials in Nevada — North America’s largest industrial-scale lithium-ion battery recycling facility — which benefits from the western U.S.’s cleaner energy mix. Redwood, which has since broken ground on a new facility in South Carolina, was one of the first to apply the lessons of this project to their own operations and environmental footprint. Its founder, JB Straubel said that the insights of this research have played a key role in refining Redwood’s battery recycling processes. “Thanks to the researchers’ observations, we have further reduced our environmental footprint,” he noted. While the U.S. now recycles about 50% of available lithium-ion batteries, it has successfully recycled 99% of lead-acid batteries for decades. “Given that used lithium-ion batteries contain materials with up to 10 times higher economic value, the opportunity is significant,” senior author William Tarpeh said. “For a future with a greatly increased supply of used batteries, we need to design and prepare a recycling system today from collection to processing back into new batteries with minimal environmental impact,” he added. “Hopefully, battery producers will consider how to make their batteries more recyclable in their future plans, too.” 32. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The effectiveness of energy use. B. Methods of conducting the study. C. The complexity of the recycling process. D. Advantages of recycling lithium-ion batteries. 33. Why is Redwood Materials mentioned? A. To show the key role of battery industries. B. To highlight its reduced climate advantage. C. To illustrate the practical use of the research. D. To criticize its lasting environmental footprint. 34. What does the underlined word “refining” mean in paragraph 4? A. Shaking. B. Bettering. C. Starting. D. Limiting. 35. What is Tarpeh’s suggestion for battery producers? A. Improve their recycling system. B. Limit the use of lead-acid batteries. C. Focus on their processing cost. D. Prioritize recyclability in their designs. 【答案】32. D 33. C 34. B 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章基于斯坦福大学发表在《自然・通讯》上的生命周期分析，阐述了回收锂离子电池相较于开采原生金属在环境影响方面的显著优势，同时提及回收效果受设施位置和电力来源影响、相关研究成果的实际应用以及未来锂离子电池回收体系建设的建议等内容。 【32题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段中的“The study quantifies the environmental footprint of this recycling process, and finds it gives off less than half the greenhouse gases (GHGs) of conventional mining and uses about one-fourth of the water and energy of mining new metals. (这项研究量化了这种回收过程的环境足迹，发现它排放的温室气体不到传统采矿的一半，消耗的水和能源约为开采新金属的四分之一)”可知，该段主要讨论了回收锂离子电池相较于开采新金属在环境方面的优势，包括减少温室气体排放、降低水和能源消耗等。故选D项。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Most of the study’s data for battery recycling came from Redwood Materials in Nevada — North America’s largest industrial-scale lithium-ion battery recycling facility — which benefits from the western U.S.’s cleaner energy mix. (这项研究的大部分电池回收数据来自内华达州的Redwood Materials公司，这是北美最大的工业规模锂离子电池回收设施，得益于美国西部更清洁的能源组合)”以及第四段中的“Redwood, which has since broken ground on a new facility in South Carolina, was one of the first to apply the lessons of this project to their own operations and environmental footprint. (Redwood已在南卡罗来纳州破土动工建设新的设施，该公司是最早将此项目的经验应用到自身运营和环境足迹的企业之一)”可知，文中提到Redwood Materials这家公司是为了举例说明这项研究的实际应用。故选C项。 【34题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“Its founder, JB Straubel said that the insights of this research have played a key role in refining Redwood’s battery recycling processes. “Thanks to the researchers’ observations, we have further reduced our environmental footprint,” he noted. (其创始人JB Straubel表示这项研究的见解在refining Redwood的电池回收流程中发挥了关键作用。他指出：“由于研究人员的观察，我们进一步减少了我们的环境足迹)”可推知“refining”与“Bettering”意思相近，在句中意为“改进”。故选B项。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的““Hopefully, battery producers will consider how to make their batteries more recyclable in their future plans, too.” (希望电池生产商也能在未来的计划中考虑如何提高电池的可回收性)”可知，Tarpeh建议电池生产商在未来的计划中考虑如何使电池更具可回收性。故选D项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The need for emotional safety evolved from our most fundamental need — physical survival. Our ancestors could only survive by banding together into closely-knit tribes. They likely knew how to maintain relationships. But in our modern world, emotional safety has become harder to come by. Many of us live among strangers, far from people who know us most. ____36____ Before searching for new connections, check what you already have. ____37____ These might be people who remember to ask how your job interview went, or who offer help when you’re overwhelmed. Most potentially safe people need time before they can accept others’ openness. ____38____ Try sharing something simple: “I’m feeling nervous about this presentation,” or “I’m sad that my dog is getting old.” When someone responds to your vulnerability with kindness, it signals that this person might be worth investing in. Your protective instincts aren’t the enemy. ____39____ Often, your bodyguard is reacting to old wounds rather than present realities. Try this: Tell your inner bodyguard, “Thank you for trying to protect me.” An argument can turn into permanent alienation. ____40____ “I think we misunderstood each other” or “Can we try to have a conversation again?” is a good gesture. It means recognizing that imperfect people can still be safe if they’re willing to meet you halfway. A. Such estrangement will keep others at arm’s length. B. People who know us most won’t leave us vulnerable. C. Learning to repair means being willing to compromise. D. Start small with people who’ve already shown they care. E. Think about people who have demonstrated care for you. F. Widening our emotional safety net now seems a necessity. G. The goal isn’t to ignore them but to work with them more skillfully. 【答案】36. F 37. E 38. D 39. G 40. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要讲述了如何获取情感方面的安全感。 【36题详解】 从空格后四段的内容“Before searching for new connections, check what you already have.(在寻找新的联系之前，检查一下你已经有了什么)”、“Most potentially safe people need time before they can accept others’ openness.(大多数有潜在安全感的人需要一段时间才能接受别人的坦诚)”、“ Your protective instincts aren’t the enemy.(你的保护本能并不是敌人)”和“ An argument can turn into permanent alienation.(一场争论可以变成永久的疏远)”可以看出，下文探讨的是如何获取情感方面的安全感，F项“扩大我们的情感安全网现在似乎是必要的”符合语境，引起下文。故选F。 【37题详解】 根据下文“These might be people who remember to ask how your job interview went, or who offer help when you’re overwhelmed.(这些人可能会记得问你面试进行得如何，或者在你不知所措的时候提供帮助)”可知，空格处应该指的是在意或者关心我们的人，E项“想想那些关心过你的人”符合语境，故选E。 【38题详解】 空前“Most potentially safe people need time before they can accept others’ openness.(大多数有潜在安全感的人需要一段时间才能接受别人的坦诚)”说到人们无法轻易接受他人，而后文“Try sharing something simple: “I’m feeling nervous about this presentation,” or “I’m sad that my dog is getting old.”(试着分享一些简单的东西：“我对这次演讲感到紧张，”或者“我很难过，我的狗变老了。”)”则以小事为例说明如何破冰，D项“对于那些已经表示关心的人从小事开始做起”符合语境，故选D。 【39题详解】 空格前后“Your protective instincts aren’t the enemy.(你的保护本能并不是敌人)”、“Often, your bodyguard is reacting to old wounds rather than present realities. Try this: Tell your inner bodyguard, “Thank you for trying to protect me.” (通常，你内心的 “守卫者”是在对过去的伤痛做出反应，而非针对当下的现实。不妨试试这样做：对你内心的 “守卫者” 说：“谢谢你一直努力保护我。”)”谈论的都是如何对待内心的保护本能，G项“我们的目标不是忽略它们，而是更有技巧地与它们合作”符合语境，承上启下。故选G。 【40题详解】 根据空格后的内容““I think we misunderstood each other” or “Can we try to have a conversation again?(“我想我们误解对方了”或者“我们能再谈一谈吗？”)”和“It means recognizing that imperfect people can still be safe if they’re willing to meet you halfway.(这意味着要认识到，如果不完美的人愿意向你妥协，他们仍然可以是安全的)”可知，后文说的都是与“妥协”有关的内容，C项“学会修复关系意味着愿意妥协”符合语境，故选C。 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。 I’ve spent five years as a wheelchair user.

(运用了as引导原因状语从句) 第二节（满分25分） 67. 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。 I’d always been told to take care of my older brother, Brian, who was born weak and small. I’d often tie his shoes or prepare another glass of water for him. My mom saw my larger size and strong body as a sign that I was to be a kind of guardian angel (守护天使) for Brian. However, that was not the case. One day our school sponsored a pumpkin-carving contest. First prize was $100, and I knew just how I would spend it. There was a brand-new game I was dying to own. So I decided the first place bonus definitely had to land in my pocket. When I had to carve the perfect pumpkin I’d picked out, it dawned on me that with my big clumsy fingers I’d surely screw it up (搞砸). I thought of Brian’s smaller, delicate hands and knew he was the man for the job. I immediately begged Brian. Unexpectedly, he asked for a cut. That was fifty-fifty. Quickly doing the math in my head, I figured out even if I split (分摊) the first prize, I’d still have enough cash for the game. So I gave in to Brian’s demands. With skillful hands Brian carved the perfect face, and now we had the best pumpkin ever. Then the unexpected happened: We came in second. Unfortunately, second prize was only $50, and I needed every penny of that to buy the game. The day of the awards ceremony, the principal handed over the money to me because Brian was home, sick with cold. If he really wanted to win, he would have been here today, I thought to myself, justifying stealing the cash from under poor Brian’s runny nose. With hardly a thought, I ran to the store and bought my dream game. That night when Brian asked if we had won, I denied, afraid to look into his eyes. The whole thing was never mentioned again until the day when Brian was packing for college. I played my usual role in helping him pack when I came across an old album filled with photos and one of them caught my eye. 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: It was a picture of the pumpkin-carving contest. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: “You actually knew and didn’t say anything?” I was shocked. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 Paragraph 1: It was a picture of the pumpkin-carving contest. In the photo, we stood proudly beside our perfectly carved pumpkin. Brian’s face was glowing with excitement, and mine was filled with a sense of accomplishment. But then I noticed something I had never seen before — a small note written on the back of the photo. It read, “We did it together. I hope you’re happy.” My heart sank as I realized the weight of my actions all those years ago. I had been so focused on getting what I wanted that I had completely disregarded Brian’s feelings. Thus I apologized to him for my selfishness years ago. Paragraph 2: “You actually knew and didn’t say anything?” I was shocked. Brian had always been the quiet one, but now he looked at me with a mix of disappointment and curiosity. I took a deep breath and decided it was time to come clean. “Brian, I’m so sorry. I was wrong. I should have told you the truth back then.” I handed him the photo and explained everything — how I had taken the money without telling him and how I had lied about the contest results. To my surprise, Brian didn’t seem angry. Instead, he smiled gently and said, “It’s okay, bro. We were kids. What matters is that we’re still here for each other.” His words were like a balm to my conscience, and I realized that true family bonds are stronger than any mistake. 【解析】 【导语】本文以南瓜雕刻比赛为线索展开，主要讲述了作者在南瓜雕刻比赛中让体弱的哥哥Brian帮忙，却独吞奖金，多年后帮哥哥收拾行李，看到了南瓜雕刻比赛的照片。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“这是一张南瓜雕刻比赛的照片。”可知，第一段可描写作者看到照片回忆起当年比赛场景，以及发现照片背后哥哥写的话，内心感到愧疚。 ②由第二段首句内容““你其实知道却没说什么？”我很震惊。”可知，第二段可描写作者向哥哥坦白当年自私行为，哥哥原谅作者，作者感悟到亲情的力量。 2. 续写线索：看到照片——回忆比赛——发现留言——感到愧疚——坦白错误——获得原谅——感悟亲情 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①发光：glow/shine ②不理会：disregard/ignore ③意识到：realize/be aware of 情绪类 ①激动：excitement/thrill ②吃惊：surprise/astonishment 【点睛】【高分句型1】My heart sank as I realized the weight of my actions all those years ago.

B My husband, children and I were in Hawaii. Here, we were introduced to the ancient Hawaiian concept of mālama (to care for) which encourages visitors to give back to the environment and local communities through activities like habitat restoration, beach cleanups or food provision. But mālama goes beyond eco-tourism — it’s about leaving a place better than you found it. And after seeking out these experiences during a three-week stay, we found mālama not only improves Hawaii, but it also made our time there much more meaningful. Mālama volunteer experiences are found across the islands. For example, on Maui, you can help restore native forests and volunteer at a nursery; while on O’ahu, visitors can clear invasive algae from Maunalua Bay. In some cases, travelers booking with partnering hotels and participating in designated activities will qualify for a discounted — or even free — night at dozens of hotels and resorts. “Mālama today is more vital than ever,” our guide Rogers said. “Too many tourists walk carelessly on our land, ignoring restrictions and damaging sensitive ecosystems... don’t just think Hawaii is beautiful; help keep it that way. It’s a shared responsibility.” As Rogers explained, mālama isn’t just about seeing or appreciating a landscape; it invites visitors to connect and contribute to it, with the idea that caring for a place fosters a stronger relationship with it. After eight days, we ventured to Molokai, Hawaii’s least developed island. No resorts or chain stores spoiled its wild beauty — just dramatic cliffs meeting rough seas. Deep in the eastern wilderness, we met Greg Solatario, whose family has taken care of this land for generations. His simple off-grid life perfectly embodied mālama. Greg welcomed us warmly before leading us through jungle-covered ruins of ancestral villages. As we approached, his son Devak blew a conch shell — a traditional request to enter. “The land remembers,” Greg explained, showing us medicinal plants and ancient fishing spots. His parting words stayed with me: “Mālama shouldn’t be just Hawaiian — the whole world needs this way of caring.” 24. How does the author present the topic in the first paragraph? A. By quoting an expert. B. By giving examples. C. By explaining a concept. D. By providing statistics. 25. What can Mālama volunteers experience in Hawaii? A. Developing Maunalua Bay. B. Reviving local forests. C. Asking for hotel discounts. D. Organizing big activities. 26. What do we know about Greg Solatario’s family? A. They built new resorts in the wild. B. They have long protected the land. C. They offered guided tours to locals. D. They fixed up the old village ruins. 27. Which of the following best describes the author’s trip in Hawaii? A. The wise improve what they enjoy. B. Where there is a will, there is a way. C. God helps those who help themselves. D. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. C The 18th century German philosopher Immanuel Kant lived very firmly in a world of time. He was so strict about routine that his fellow citizens of Kocnigsberg could set their watches by his afternoon walk. However, in his philosophical work, Kant was doubtful about time. He believed time is created by the human mind. Out there beyond our minds, there is no time. It’s simply a “category” of our minds that helps us to perceive objects and order our experience. The flexibility of our time perception (感知) supports Kant’s doubt. We all know time is not a fixed phenomenon but seems to pass at different speeds in different situations. For example, it seems to go slowly when we travel to unfamiliar places, or when we are bored or in pain. It seems to speed up when we’re absorbed, such as when we play music or paint. Our perception of time can change in a dramatic way. Perhaps, at least once in your life, you’ve had what is called a “Time Expansion Experience (TEE),” when seconds have stretched out into minutes. TEEs happen most frequently in accidents where perception becomes more intense than normal and thus people notice more details. In accident situations, people are often surprised by the amount of time they have to think and act. In fact, many people are convinced that time expansion spared them from their serious injury, or even death. For example, a woman who reported a TEE in which she avoided a metal barrier falling on to her car said, “For me the slowing down of the moment allowed me to decide how to escape the falling metal on us.” All of this suggests that Kant was right. Perhaps the reason why time is variable is because it doesn’t really exist—at least, outside our minds. There is no objective time out there in the universe. What we experience as time is filtered (过滤) through our minds, and so varies according to our state of mind. 28. Which of the following would Immanuel Kant approve of? A. Time is a basic quality of the world. B. Time is a record of human experience. C. Time is a situation measured by daily routine. D. Time is a mental concept generated by humans. 29. What is the main idea of paragraph 2? A. Time progresses at a constant speed. B. Full attention affects people’s sense of time. C. Time perception varies depending on context. D. People feel time slows down on special occasions. 30. What do people think of TEEs in accidents? A. Inspiring. B. Beneficial. C. Temporary. D. Painful. 31. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Secret of Time: A State of Mind B. Time Expansion: Real or Imaginary? C. Time Perception: A Philosophical Exploration D. The Clockwork of the Mind: How to Measure Time? D Recycling lithium-ion (锂离子) batteries to recover their critical metals like lithium, nickel and cobalt has significantly lower environmental impacts than mining raw metals, according to a new Stanford University life cycle analysis published in Nature Communications. The study quantifies the environmental footprint of this recycling process, and finds it gives off less than half the greenhouse gases (GHGs) of conventional mining and uses about one-fourth of the water and energy of mining new metals. The environmental benefits are even greater for the scrap (废料) stream, which accounted for about 90% of the recycled supply studied. Battery recycling’s environmental impacts depend heavily on the processing facility’s location and electricity source. “A battery recycling plant in regions that rely heavily on electricity generated by burning coal would see a reduced climate advantage,” said Samantha Bunk e, one of the study’s three lead investigators. “On the other hand, freshwater shortages in regions with cleaner electricity are a great concern,” added Bunk e. Most of the study’s data for battery recycling came from Redwood Materials in Nevada — North America’s largest industrial-scale lithium-ion battery recycling facility — which benefits from the western U.S.’s cleaner energy mix. Redwood, which has since broken ground on a new facility in South Carolina, was one of the first to apply the lessons of this project to their own operations and environmental footprint. Its founder, JB Straubel said that the insights of this research have played a key role in refining Redwood’s battery recycling processes. “Thanks to the researchers’ observations, we have further reduced our environmental footprint,” he noted. While the U.S. now recycles about 50% of available lithium-ion batteries, it has successfully recycled 99% of lead-acid batteries for decades. “Given that used lithium-ion batteries contain materials with up to 10 times higher economic value, the opportunity is significant,” senior author William Tarpeh said. “For a future with a greatly increased supply of used batteries, we need to design and prepare a recycling system today from collection to processing back into new batteries with minimal environmental impact,” he added. “Hopefully, battery producers will consider how to make their batteries more recyclable in their future plans, too.” 32. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The effectiveness of energy use. B. Methods of conducting the study. C. The complexity of the recycling process. D. Advantages of recycling lithium-ion batteries. 33. Why is Redwood Materials mentioned? A. To show the key role of battery industries. B. To highlight its reduced climate advantage. C. To illustrate the practical use of the research. D. To criticize its lasting environmental footprint. 34. What does the underlined word “refining” mean in paragraph 4? A. Shaking. B. Bettering. C. Starting. D. Limiting. 35. What is Tarpeh’s suggestion for battery producers? A. Improve their recycling system. B. Limit the use of lead-acid batteries. C. Focus on their processing cost. D. Prioritize recyclability in their designs. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The need for emotional safety evolved from our most fundamental need — physical survival. Our ancestors could only survive by banding together into closely-knit tribes. They likely knew how to maintain relationships. But in our modern world, emotional safety has become harder to come by. Many of us live among strangers, far from people who know us most. ____36____ Before searching for new connections, check what you already have. ____37____ These might be people who remember to ask how your job interview went, or who offer help when you’re overwhelmed. Most potentially safe people need time before they can accept others’ openness. ____38____ Try sharing something simple: “I’m feeling nervous about this presentation,” or “I’m sad that my dog is getting old.” When someone responds to your vulnerability with kindness, it signals that this person might be worth investing in. Your protective instincts aren’t the enemy. ____39____ Often, your bodyguard is reacting to old wounds rather than present realities. Try this: Tell your inner bodyguard, “Thank you for trying to protect me.” An argument can turn into permanent alienation. ____40____ “I think we misunderstood each other” or “Can we try to have a conversation again?” is a good gesture. It means recognizing that imperfect people can still be safe if they’re willing to meet you halfway. A. Such estrangement will keep others at arm’s length. B. People who know us most won’t leave us vulnerable. C. Learning to repair means being willing to compromise. D. Start small with people who’ve already shown they care. E. Think about people who have demonstrated care for you. F. Widening our emotional safety net now seems a necessity. G. The goal isn’t to ignore them but to work with them more skillfully. 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。 I’ve spent five years as a wheelchair user.

I’d often tie his shoes or prepare another glass of water for him. My mom saw my larger size and strong body as a sign that I was to be a kind of guardian angel (守护天使) for Brian. However, that was not the case. One day our school sponsored a pumpkin-carving contest. First prize was $100, and I knew just how I would spend it. There was a brand-new game I was dying to own. So I decided the first place bonus definitely had to land in my pocket. When I had to carve the perfect pumpkin I’d picked out, it dawned on me that with my big clumsy fingers I’d surely screw it up (搞砸). I thought of Brian’s smaller, delicate hands and knew he was the man for the job. I immediately begged Brian. Unexpectedly, he asked for a cut. That was fifty-fifty. Quickly doing the math in my head, I figured out even if I split (分摊) the first prize, I’d still have enough cash for the game. So I gave in to Brian’s demands. With skillful hands Brian carved the perfect face, and now we had the best pumpkin ever. Then the unexpected happened: We came in second. Unfortunately, second prize was only $50, and I needed every penny of that to buy the game. The day of the awards ceremony, the principal handed over the money to me because Brian was home, sick with cold. If he really wanted to win, he would have been here today, I thought to myself, justifying stealing the cash from under poor Brian’s runny nose. With hardly a thought, I ran to the store and bought my dream game. That night when Brian asked if we had won, I denied, afraid to look into his eyes. The whole thing was never mentioned again until the day when Brian was packing for college. I played my usual role in helping him pack when I came across an old album filled with photos and one of them caught my eye. 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: It was a picture of the pumpkin-carving contest. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: “You actually knew and didn’t say anything?” I was shocked. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
