What is the fastest land animal? W: The answer is the lion. M: Oh, Julie, I’m afraid that’s incorrect. W: Wait, I just remembered. It’s the cheetah. M: Yes, the cheetah. I’m afraid I have to take your first answer. But you still leave with $100,000. W: At least it’s not nothing. M: True. Give a big hand to Julie! 8.B 9.C 【原文】W: I’m really glad we’ve taken up tennis. M: Yes. But to avoid getting hurt, I don’t want to overdo it. W: That sounds like a good excuse. However, we need a lot of practice if we want to win the tournament. That is our goal after all. M: I’m not denying that. Anyway, to increase our chances, I suggest we get some new shoes. W: Let’s consider that when we’ve won the first round, shall we? If we can’t win with what we have at the moment, I don’t think we’ll win with anything. 10.C 11.B 12.A 【原文】M: It’s time to get the guest room ready. W: Why do you say that? M: Well, my mom is coming to visit, and I want her to be comfortable. W: But I thought she was staying in a local hotel. M: She wanted to, but I offered to let her stay here.

W: It is to me. I guess I’ll find a way to deal with it... But it will be nice if you can defend me sometimes when she criticizes me. M: Oh. Don’t worry, honey. You’re just too sensitive. You shouldn’t take the things people say so seriously. She likes you. 13.A 14.B 15.C 16.A 【原文】W: Turn up the volume. The news is talking about a major forest fire. M: Oh, that’s terrible.

The dry conditions and strong winds are making it spread rapidly. M: Do they know how it started? W: Some suspected it might have been started by a cigarette. But according to the investigation, the root cause is the severe drought the region has had for months. M: Are firefighters able to bring it under control soon? W: Hard to say. They’re sending more teams and using helicopters to help. But the strong wind keeps spreading the fire to new areas. M: I hope the fire will be put out quickly and the rain will come soon. 17.A 18.C 19.B 20.C 【原文】M：So Marie，your kitchen garden looks excellent.What made you turn to social media to record your vegetable growing?

Let’s explore the top picks for travel destinations in 2025.” 以及全文内容可知，文章客观列举并介绍了四个具体的旅游目的地及其特色，旨在向读者传递旅游资讯。A 项“娱乐”、B 项“分析”和 D 项“报道（通常指新闻事件）”均不符合本文客观介绍旅游目的地的行文目的，C 项“提供信息（To inform）”准确概括了文章意图。由此可知，故选 C 项 语篇解读：这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了80岁的Natalie Grabow在59岁时为了挑战自我开始学习游泳，最终不仅学会了游泳，还成为完成夏威夷铁人三项世锦赛的最年长女性。她的故事展现了顽强的毅力和对运动的热爱。 24.B【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段中的“At 59, she decided to learn so she could face an even bigger challenge: a triathlon (铁人三项).”可知，Natalie Grabow在59岁时决定学习游泳，是为了迎接一个更大的挑战——铁人三项比赛。A项“激励年轻人”、C项“避免受伤”及D项“创造世界纪录”均不是她学游泳的直接目的。B项“为铁人三项比赛做准备”准确对应了原文信息。由此可知，故选 B 项。 25.D【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段中的“In the race, she swam 2.4 miles in the ocean, then biked 112 miles on a road through lava fields and windy coasts. Finally, she ran a full marathon — 26.2 miles — on hilly roads.”可知，Natalie在比赛中完成了游泳、骑行和跑马拉松三个项目。A项“未能在规定时间内完成比赛”与原文“well within the 17-hour cutoff time”相悖；B项“认为获胜对运动员最重要”与原文“enjoy the journey”不符；C项“因经常受伤而感到气馁”在文中未提及。D项“她完成了包括游泳、骑车和跑步在内的三个比赛项目”准确概括了原文信息。由此可知，故选 D 项。 26.A【解析】推理判断题。通读全文可知，Natalie在59岁高龄克服不会游泳的障碍，并在80岁时完成了极其艰苦的铁人三项世锦赛，这充分展现了她坚韧不拔、意志坚定的品质。B项“热心的”、C项“有创造力的”及D项“慷慨的”均不能准确概括她的核心特质。A项“意志坚定的（Determined）”最符合人物形象。由此可知，故选 A 项。 27.C【解析】主旨大意题。通读全文，第一段“At 59, she decided to learn so she could face an even bigger challenge: a triathlon.” 及第二段“Now 80, Grabow has become an inspiration. She not only learned to swim and completed a triathlon but also became the oldest woman to finish the tough Ironman World Championship in Hawaii.” 可知，文章的核心事件是Natalie Grabow 59岁学游泳，80岁，不惧困难坚持运动，成为完成夏威夷铁人三项世锦赛的最年长女性。A项“59岁学游泳：一个晚的开始”仅涵盖了文章的开头部分；B项“世界上最艰难的比赛：夏威夷铁人”偏离了人物主线；D项“铁人三项训练中避免受伤的建议”仅是文章末尾的一个细节。C项“80岁老人成为完成铁人三项的最年长女性”准确且全面地概括了文章的核心内容，是最佳标题。由此可知，故选 C 项。 语篇解读：这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了竞走这项运动，指出其虽在体能消耗上与跑步相似，但因其特殊的规则要求，不仅能减少部分跑步带来的损伤，同时也对脚踝和髋部提出了新的挑战。 28.B【解析】细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“But the sport’s rules require that a race walker’s knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and one foot remain in contact (接触) with the ground at all times. ” 可知，竞走不仅距离长，而且有着严格的规则限制（如膝盖必须伸直、脚不能离地等），正是这些特殊的规则要求使得竞走运动员需要具备极高的身体素质（conditioned athletes）。A 项“他们必须跑长距离”与原文竞走（race walking）概念不符；C 项“他们有资格参加马拉松”在文中无依据；D 项“他们擅长摆腿”过于片面。由此可知，故选 B 项。 29.C【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段 “while most likely contributing to fewer injuries.” 以及最后一段 “As a result, she says, some of the injuries associated with running, such as runner’s knee, are uncommon among race walkers.” 可知，竞走相比于跑步，能减少跑步者膝盖等损伤的发生。A 项“在奥运会上更受欢迎”、B 项“对身体的挑战更小”在文中均未提及；D 项“在塑身方面更有效”与第三段 “fewer than running, which would probably burn about 1,000 or more calories per hour” 不符。由此可知，故选 C 项。 30.D【解析】细节理解题。根据最后一段 “In fact, anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first consult a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique, she says.” 可知，Norberg 博士建议任何想尝试竞走的人都应该先咨询教练或有经验的选手以学习正确的技术。A 项“定期锻炼”过于宽泛；B 项“进行体检”在文中未提及；C 项“雇佣有经验的教练”表述不准确，原文是 “consult（咨询）” 而非 “hiring（雇佣）”；D 项“获取专家的意见”准确概括了向教练或经验丰富的选手请教的建议。由此可知，故选 D 项。 31.A【解析】主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running, research shows, while most likely contributing to fewer injuries.” 可知，文章首先指出了竞走与跑步一样具有“健身益处”（低损伤、高燃脂），以及第三段中“Like running, race walking is physically demanding, she says.” 以及最后一段中“But the sport’s strange form does place considerable stress on the ankles and hips, so people with a history of such injuries might want to be cautious in adopting the sport.” 可知，竞走与跑步一样，对体能要求很高。文章分析了其特殊的运动形式带来的“挑战” (特殊规则、脚踝和臀部压力），A项“竞走：健身益处与形式挑战”全面概括了全文内容。B项仅聚焦热量消耗，C项只谈安全性，D项只提特殊性，均不完整。由此可知，故选A项。 语篇解读：这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项关于祖父母照顾孙辈与其认知健康之间联系的最新研究。研究表明，参与照顾孙辈的祖父母在记忆力和语言流利度方面表现更好，且认知能力下降的速度更慢，强调了隔代照料对老年人身心健康的积极影响。 32.B【解析】词义猜测题。根据第一段 “whether caregiving for grandchildren may also benefit grandparents themselves”及 “particularly in decelerating cognitive decline”可知，研究旨在探索照料孙辈是否对祖父母自身有益，特别是在 “decelerating”认知衰退方面。结合语境，此处应指减缓认知衰退， “decelerating”意为 “减慢、延缓”。A项 “促进”、C项 “检查”、D项 “预期”均不符合与 “cognitive decline”搭配的逻辑。 B项“Slowing（减缓）”准确对应了“decelerating”的含义。由此可知，故选 B 项。 33.D【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段 “Participants answered survey questions and underwent cognitive assessments three times from 2016 to 2022”及 “The survey inquired about the frequency of their caregiving”可知，研究者通过多次问卷调查和认知评估来收集信息，即反复调查和评估。A项 “单次访谈”与文中 “three times”矛盾；B项 “直接观察照料行为”与文中survey方式矛盾；C项 “分析长期健康记录”与文中实时调查和评估的方式不符。D项“通过反复调查和评估”准确概括了原文信息。由此可知，故选 D 项。 34.A【解析】主旨大意题。根据第四段中的“What stood out most to us was that being a caregiving grandparent seemed to matter more for cognitive functioning than how often grandparents provided care or what exactly they did with their grandchildren” 及 “This suggests that the joy and experience of being involved in caregiving may be more beneficial than the specifics of the activities”可知，参与照料本身比照料频率和具体活动内容更重要，即参与比细节更重要。B项 “频率起决定性作用”与文中 “mattered more than how often”矛盾；C项 “具体活动产生影响”与文中 “more beneficial than the specifics”矛盾；D项 “情感快乐更持久”虽涉及 “joy”但非本段核心论点。A项“参与（的身份）比细节更重要”准确概括了本段的核心观点。由此可知，故选 A 项。 35.C【解析】主旨大意题。通读全文，并结合第一段中“This research aimed to explore the potential health advantages for grandparents who dedicate time to their grandchildren, particularly in decelerating cognitive decline.” 可知，研究发现参与照料孙辈的祖父母认知表现更好、衰退更慢，核心结论是照料孙辈有助于保持祖父母大脑敏锐。A项 “祖父母：孩子最佳照料者”侧重对孙辈的益处，偏离研究重点；B项 “如何改善祖父母健康”过于宽泛，未聚焦认知和照料孙辈的关系；D项 “祖父母照料的上升趋势”文中未涉及趋势话题。C项 “照料孩子保持祖父母大脑敏锐”准确概括全文核心。由此可知，故选 C 项。 语篇解读：这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者在步入中年陷入绝望时，通过练习芭蕾舞重新找回自我，学会了接纳身体的不完美，并在追求完美的过程中体会到生命无限可能的成长故事。 36.B【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段 “Then, at the height of my despair, I decided to sign up for a ballet class.” 可知，作者在极度绝望（despair）的时候决定报名上芭蕾舞课，其目的是为了摆脱这种负面情绪，即为了振奋精神。A项 “跟随时尚”文中未提及；C项 “保持苗条身材”文中未涉及身材动机；D项 “寻找志同道合的朋友”文中未提及社交目的。B 项“为了振奋精神”是对原文 “escape the despair” 的同义替换。由此可知，故选 B 项。 37.A【解析】推理判断题。根据第二段 “And though I’d thought my classes to be physically demanding, I hadn’t expected that my teacher’s command to ‘take up more space’ would change my way of being in the world.” 以及第三段 “Slowly, I started becoming more comfortable with the body in the mirror... I am now amazed at what my body is capable of.” 可知，芭蕾舞训练虽然身体要求高、动作难度大，但给作者带来了快乐和人生视角的转变，即艰辛但有收获。B项 “充满挑战但徒劳”与文中 “brought me joy”矛盾；C项 “要求高但暖心”中 “暖心”未能体现艰辛与收获的张力；D项 “舒适且愉快”与文中 “physically demanding”矛盾。由此可知，故选 A 项。 38.C【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段 “But it encourages me that my body isn’t stiff and still functions well. Instead of noticing only the signs of aging, I am now amazed at what my body is capable of. As for the imperfections? They’re part of being alive.” 可知，鼓励作者坚持跳舞的是对身体机能的惊叹以及对 “不完美是活着的一部分”这一认知的体悟，核心在于对生命活力的关注。A 项“完美的动作”与原文 “my jumps are never as high as they feel” 不符；B 项“老师的严厉”在文中未体现；D 项“依然灵活的身体条件”表述片面，C 项“对生命存在的关注”涵盖了原文对衰老、身体能力和不完美的接纳，最契合原文 “They’re part of being alive” 的核心思想。由此可知，故选 C 项。 39.B【解析】主旨大意题。根据第二段“When I sighed over my lack of grace in the seemingly simple act, my teacher reminded me that ballet isn’t about perfection. Rather, it’s about striving for perfection.” 以及最后一段“Because when I do my daily ballet class, I focus on my breathing and move my body in ways that always challenge me and remind me of everything that is possible.” 可知，作者通过芭蕾舞领悟到，重要的不是达到完美的境界，而是不断追求完美的过程（striving），以及在这个过程中挑战自我、感受生命的无限可能。A项 “亡羊补牢犹未晚”侧重时机，偏离主旨；C项 “熟能生巧”与文中 “never as high as they feel”和 “lifelong advanced beginner”矛盾；D项 “有志者事竟成”侧重意志力，未触及 “追求过程胜于结果”的核心。B 项“追求比结果更重要”完美契合了原文 “striving for perfection” 的主旨。由此可知，故选 B 项。 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章针对长途飞行中睡眠困难的问题，从心态调整、座位选择及饮食控制三个方面提供了改善机上睡眠质量的实用建议。 40.C【解析】前文指出在飞机上坐着睡觉会伤害颈背，下文引出改善机上睡眠的建议。C 项 “Frequent travelers agree sleeping upright is no easy task.” 承接上文对坐姿睡眠不适的描述，确认了“坐着睡确实不易”这一共识，从而自然引出下文的解决策略，逻辑连贯。故选 C 项。 41.B【解析】空处位于段首，为本段主旨句。后文睡眠专家建议不要强迫自己入睡，应顺应身体的自然生理过程。B 项 “Arrive well-rested and don’t try to force it.” 中的 “don’t try to force it” 与后文 “shouldn’t try to force yourself to sleep” 形成同义复现，精准概括了本段核心观点。故选 B 项。 42.D【解析】本段主题为“谨慎选择座位”。前文建议避开服务区等繁忙地带，此处应补充其他选座建议。D 项 “You should also try to select seats with extra legroom if you can.” 中的 “also” 表示递进，补充了“选择腿部空间更大的座位”这一具体建议，丰富了选座策略，衔接自然。故选 D 项。 43.E【解析】前文指出含糖、咖啡因及酒精等物质会影响睡眠，后文则具体说明酒精虽助眠但负面影响睡眠。E 项 “Alcohol may help you fall asleep initially, which can be confusing.” 起到了承上启下的作用，既回应了前文提到的酒精，又通过 “initially” 与后文的 “negative effect” 形成转折逻辑，解释了为何酒精具有迷惑性。故选 E 项。 44.G【解析】空处位于段尾，应为总结句。前文列举了多种改善睡眠的方法，G 项 “In short, sleeping on a plane doesn’t have to be as bad as it may seem.” 以 “In short” 进行总结，呼应文章开头提到的飞行睡眠痛苦，给出积极结论，使文章结构完整。故选 G 项。 三、完形填空 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。作者在国外留学时，朋友们为照顾她而一直说英语，这让她感到内疚。最终她意识到真正的联系在于双方的共同努力，并开始学习对方的语言，以回报这份善意。 45.C【解析】reflect 反映；refuse 拒绝；choose 选择；prevent 阻止。根据后文 “我想生活在一个可以只靠英语应付的国家” 可知，这是作者“选择”学校的标准。由此可知，故选 C 项。 46.B【解析】make up for 弥补；get by on 靠……过活，勉强应付；live up to 不辜负；stick with 坚持。根据后文 “只靠英语” 以及语境 “独自用英语应付生活” 可知，他希望仅凭英语就能生存下去。由此可知，故选 B 项。 47.D【解析】performance 表现；impression 印象；reaction 反应；communication 交流。根据前文 “我更专注于游戏” 可知，作者没有太多地进行社交“交流”。由此可知，故选 D 项。 48.B【解析】promise 承诺；realize 意识到；argue 争论；adapt 适应。根据后文 “大多数小组成员都在说英语” 可知，作者突然“意识到”了这一点。由此可知，故选 B 项。 49.A【解析】language 语言；power 权力；origin 起源；custom 习俗。根据前文 “他们显然在努力确保……不会成为我们之间的障碍” 以及语境 “说英语是为了避免语言障碍” 可知，此处指语言。由此可知，故选 A 项 50.D【解析】united 联合的；divided 分裂的；fixed 固定的；mixed 混合的。根据后文 “几个丹麦学生、一个德国学生和两个冰岛学生” 可知，这是一个由不同国籍成员组成的混合群体。由此可知，故选 D 项。 51.C【解析】personally 亲自地；gradually 逐渐地；immediately 立即；frequently 频繁地。根据前文 “但我一坐下” 可知，他们“立即”切换到了英语。由此可知，故选 C 项。 52.A【解析】guilty 内疚的；lucky 幸运的；angry 生气的；crazy 疯狂的。根据后文 “整天用英语一定很累” 可知，作者为此感到“内疚”。由此可知，故选 A 项。 53.D【解析】helpful 有帮助的；dangerous 危险的；native 本地的；foreign 外国的。根据语境，作者对于这群丹麦和冰岛学生来说是“外国”学生。由此可知，故选 D 项。 54.B【解析】encourage 鼓励；comfort 安慰；warn 警告；blame 责备。根据前文 “别担心，这真的不麻烦” 可知，朋友在“安慰”她。由此可知，故选 B 项。 55.A【解析】ignore 忽视；remind 提醒；discover 发现；find 发现。根据后文 “我从未冒险走到另一边” 可知，作者长期以来忽视了这一点。由此可知，故选 A 项。 56.D【解析】even 甚至；always 总是；only 仅仅；never 从不。根据前文 “他们为我搭建了一座桥——然而我却……冒险走到另一边” 可知，作者从未尝试过去说他们的语言。由此可知，故选 D 项。 57.B【解析】familiar 熟悉的；blind 盲目的；devoted 投入的；sensitive 敏感的。根据后文 “对这个礼物——以及对这份亏欠” 可知，固定短语 be blind to 意为 “对……视而不见”。由此可知，故选 B 项。 58.C【解析】strong-willed 意志坚强的；well-known 著名的；native-like 像母语一样的；open-minded 思想开放的。根据前文 “请Augusta教我几句丹麦语” 以及后文 “但真正的联系不在于轻松” 可知，作者可能永远无法说得像母语者一样好。由此可知，故选 C 项。 59.C【解析】habit 习惯；dream 梦想；effort 努力；goal 目标。根据前文 “真正的联系不在于安逸” 可知，真正的联系在于共同的“努力”。由此可知，故选 C 项。 四、语法填空 语篇解读：本文是一篇新闻报道。主要介绍了冰岛四天工作制试验的成功经验及其在全球范围内引发的关注和效仿。 60.remarkably【解析】考查副词。空格处修饰形容词 successful，应用副词形式作状语。remarkable 的副词形式为 remarkably。故填 remarkably。 61.moving【解析】考查非谓语动词。固定结构 lead to sb. doing sth.，意为“导致某人做某事”，move 用动名词形式。故填 moving。 62.and【解析】考查连词。空格处连接 gained popularity 和 is possible 两个并列的谓语部分，表并列关系。故填 and。 63.where【解析】考查定语从句。此处引导定语从句，先行词为 trials，关系词在从句中作地点状语，应用关系副词 where。故填 where。 64.remained【解析】考查时态。主句 was reported 为过去时，从句动作发生在主句之前或同时，应用一般过去时。remain 的过去式为 remained。故填 remained。 65.majority【解析】考查名词。固定短语 the majority of，意为“大多数”。故填 majority。 66.less【解析】考查形容词比较级。根据句意“压力更小”，且 were 后接形容词作表语，应用 little 的比较级 less。故填 less。 67.a【解析】考查冠词。success 为可数名词单数，此处表泛指，意为“一次完全的成功”。complete 以辅音音素开头，应用不定冠词 a。故填 a。 68.are being run【解析】考查时态与语态。时间状语 now 提示动作正在进行，主语 trials 与 run 为被动关系，应用现在进行时的被动语态。主语为复数，谓语用 are being run。故填 are being run。 69.Without【解析】考查介词。根据句意“在不影响薪资的情况下”，应用介词 without。句首单词首字母大写。故填 Without。 五、应用文写作 70. Dear Tom, Knowing that you are confused about choosing between free running and group dancing for the colorful break activity, I’m writing to give you some suggestions. I strongly recommend you choose group dancing. Firstly, group dancing is a team activity, which offers you a great chance to communicate and cooperate with classmates. It can help you make more new friends and better adapt to school life. Secondly, dancing with cheerful music can effectively relieve your study pressure and lift your spirits. Besides, it requires regular practice, which helps you develop good living habits. Free running is fun but lacks interaction. I believe group dancing will bring you a more rewarding experience. Yours, Li Hua 六、读后续写 71. 【参考例文】 Paragraph 1: That night, Sophia lay in bed, worried about their relationship and the project. She stared at the ceiling, replaying the harsh words she had thrown at Melody. Guilt gnawed at her heart—Melody had always been there for her, cheering her up when she felt down, and now she had pushed her away without even listening to her explanation. She realized that her need for control had blinded her to her friend’s feelings. Perhaps Melody had a good reason for being late. Sophia sat up and grabbed her phone, typing a message: “I’m sorry for what I said. Can we talk tomorrow?” Her thumb hovered over the send button, but she hesitated, fearing the reply. Finally, she took a deep breath and pressed send, hoping it wasn’t too late. Paragraph 2: The next day, Melody arrived early at the cafe, hoping to continue her interrupted explanation. She ordered two cups of hot chocolate—Sophia's favorite—and waited nervously. When Sophia walked in, they exchanged awkward glances. Then Melody spoke first. “I'm really sorry I was late. My little brother had an accident on his bike, and I had to take him to the clinic. I should have texted you.” Sophia’s eyes widened. All her anger melted away. “I’m the one who should apologize. I didn’t give you a chance to explain,” she said softly. They both laughed through teary eyes and hugged tightly. Over steaming cups, they finished the project together, realizing that their friendship was far more important than any grade. From that day on, they promised to always listen first and judge later. 第1页 共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026年下学期高三开学考试 英语试题 一、听力(共20小题,共30分) 1.（1.5分）What does the woman think of the ski area?

(共4小题，每小题2.5分，满分10分) For most of her life, Natalie Grabow didn’t know how to swim. At 59, she decided to learn so she could face an even bigger challenge: a triathlon (铁人三项). “It was a big barrier I had to overcome,” she says. Now 80, Grabow has become an inspiration. She not only learned to swim and completed a triathlon but also became the oldest woman to finish the tough Ironman World Championship in Hawaii. In the race, she swam 2.4 miles in the ocean, then biked 112 miles on a road through lava fields and windy coasts. Finally, she ran a full marathon—26.2 miles—on hilly roads. She finished in 16:45:26, well within the 17-hour cutoff time. “I’m happy and thankful I can still race at my age,” Grabow says. “Triathlon makes me feel strong in mind and body, and it satisfies my competitive spirit.” Growing up, girls had few sports chances. During her career as a software engineer, Grabow became a dedicated runner but often suffered setbacks from injuries. The triathlon’s cross-training lowered her injury risk. Asked whether she has any tips for athletes, Grabow said, “Listen to your body, rest when needed, and most importantly, enjoy the journey.” 24.（2.5分）Why did Natalie Grabow decide to learn swimming at 59? A.To inspire the young. B.To prepare for a triathlon. C.To avoid getting hurt. D.To set a world record. 25.（2.5分）What do we know about Natalie? A.She failed to finish the race within the required time. B.She believed winning is the most important for athletes. C.She felt discouraged because she often suffered injuries in training. D.She finished three parts of the race including swimming, biking and running. 26.（2.5分）Which of the following best describes Natalie? A.Determined. B.Warm-hearted. C.Creative. D.Generous. 27.（2.5分）Which of the following would be the most suitable title for the passage? A.Learning to swim at 59: A Late Start B.The Hardest Race in the World: Ironman Hawaii C.80-year-old Becomes Oldest Woman to Finish Ironman D.Tips on Avoiding Injuries in Triathlon Training (共4小题，每小题2.5分，满分10分) Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running, research shows, while most likely contributing to fewer injuries. It does, however, have its own problem. Race walkers are conditioned athletes. The longest track and field event at the Summer Olympics is the 50-kilometer race walk, which is about five miles longer than the marathon. But the sport’s rules require that a race walker’s knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and one foot remain in contact (接触) with the ground at all times. However, it’s this strange form that makes race walking such an attractive activity, says Jaclyn Norberg, an assistant professor of exercise science at Salem State University in Salem, Mass. Like running, race walking is physically demanding, she says. According to most calculations, race walkers moving at a pace of six miles per hour would burn about 800 calories (卡路里) per hour, which is approximately twice as many as they would burn when walking, although fewer than running, which would probably burn about 1,000 or more calories per hour. However, race walking does not pound the body as much as running does, Dr. Norberg says. In her research, runners hit the ground with as much as four times their body weight per step, while race walkers, who do not leave the ground, create only about 1.4 times their body weight with each step. As a result, she says, some of the injuries associated with running, such as runner’s knee, are uncommon among race walkers. But the sport’s strange form does place considerable stress on the ankles and hips, so people with a history of such injuries might want to be cautious in adopting the sport. In fact, anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first consult a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique, she says. It takes some practice. 28.（2.5分）Why are race walkers conditioned athletes? A.They must run long distances. B.They have to follow special rules. C.They are qualified for the marathon. D.They are good at swinging their legs. 29.（2.5分）What advantage does race walking have over running? A.It’s more popular at the Olympics. B.It’s less challenging physically. C.It’s less likely to cause knee injuries. D.It’s more effective in body building. 30.（2.5分）What is Dr. Norberg’s suggestion for someone trying race walking? A.Doing regular exercises. B.Having a medical checkup. C.Hiring an experienced coach. D.Getting experts’ opinions. 31.（2.5分）What’s the best title of the passage? A.Race Walking: Fitness Benefits and Form Challenges B.Running VS. Race Walking: Which Burns More Calories? C.Avoiding Injuries: Why Race Walking Might be safer Than Running? D.The Unusual Feature of Race Walking (共4小题，每小题2.5分，满分10分) A recent study has revealed an uplifting connection between grandparents and their cognitive (认知) well-being. Lead researcher Chereches expressed the interest surrounding this vital question: “Many grandparents provide regular care for their grandchildren, but an open question is whether caregiving for grandchildren may also benefit grandparents themselves.” This research aimed to explore the potential health advantages for grandparents who dedicate time to their grandchildren, particularly in decelerating cognitive decline. Chereches and her team analyzed data from 2,887 grandparents in England. Participants answered survey questions and underwent cognitive assessments three times from 2016 to 2022. The survey inquired about the frequency of their caregiving — whether they were spending nights with grandchildren, caring for them during illness, engaging in play, assisting with homework, or even preparing meals. The results were heartening! Grandparents who actively participated in childcare, regardless of how often or in what capacity, performed better in memory and verbal fluency tests compared to those who did not engage in caregiving. Excitingly, grandmothers who provided care displayed a slower decline in cognitive performance throughout the study. “What stood out most to us was that being a caregiving grandparent seemed to matter more for cognitive functioning than how often grandparents provided care or what exactly they did with their grandchildren,” Chereches noted. This suggests that the joy and experience of being involved in caregiving may be more beneficial than the specifics of the activities undertaken. Age UK has highlighted the immense benefits of this so-called “gran-nannying,” which keeps older adults mentally and physically active while combating loneliness — as long as the caregiving experience remains enjoyable and fulfilling. This research illuminates the beautiful cycle of care and connection that exists within families, proving that the act of being a grandparent not only enriches the lives of grandchildren but also enhances the lives of grandparents, fostering happiness and vitality in their golden years. Let’s share this wonderful news, encouraging families to embrace the joys of grandparenting! 32.（2.5分）Which can replace the underlined word “decelerating” in paragraph 1? A.Facilitating. B.Slowing. C.Examining. D.Anticipating. 33.（2.5分）How did the study gather information from the grandparents? A.By conducting single interviews. B.By directly observing their caregiving. C.By analysing long-term health records. D.By surveying and assessing repeatedly. 34.（2.5分）What does the author want to emphasize in paragraph 4? A.Engagement matters more than details. B.Frequency has a decisive role. C.Specific activities make a difference. D.Emotional joy is more lasting. 35.（2.5分）What could be a suitable title for the text? A.Grandparents: Best Caregivers for Kids B.How to Improve Grandparents’ Well-being C.Childcare Keeps Grandparents’ Minds Sharp D.The Rising Trend of Grandparent Caregiving (共4小题，每小题2.5分，满分10分) By my early 40s, I had attempted all the hobbies meant to make me feel better about entering middle age. I had taken an improv (即兴表演) class, started learning a new language, and given yoga a second chance. Then, at the height of my despair, I decided to sign up for a ballet class. “But you’re not very flexible,” my husband gently reminded me. He wasn’t wrong. Yet I was determined to give it a try. I hadn’t expected any of it to stick. But this time, the exact same things that had made me escape the studio as a 10-year-old now brought me joy. And though I’d thought my classes to be physically demanding, I hadn’t expected that my teacher’s command to “take up more space” would change my way of being in the world. When I sighed over my lack of grace in the seemingly simple act, my teacher reminded me that ballet isn’t about perfection. Rather, it’s about striving for perfection. Slowly, I started becoming more comfortable with the body in the mirror. My posture still needs work, my jumps are never as high as they feel. But it encourages me that my body isn’t stiff and still functions well. Instead of noticing only the signs of aging, I am now amazed at what my body is capable of. As for the imperfections? They’re part of being alive. Eight years into my ballet classes, I’m what you would call a lifelong advanced beginner. At the age of 50, I am finally a ballerina, though not the kind that anybody would pay to see on stage. I kept on dancing. Because when I do my daily ballet class, I focus on my breathing and move my body in ways that always challenge me and remind me of everything that is possible. 36.（2.5分）Why did the author finally attend the ballet class? A.To follow the fashion. B.To lift her spirits up. C.To keep a slim figure. D.To seek like-minded friends. 37.（2.5分）What was the author’s dancing experience like? A.Tough but rewarding. B.Challenging and fruitless. C.Demanding but heartwarming. D.Comforting and enjoyable. 38.（2.5分）What encourages the author to persist in dancing according to paragraph 3? A.Her perfect movements. B.The teacher’s strictness. C.The focus on being alive. D.Her still flexible condition. 39.（2.5分）What message does the passage want to express? A.Better late than never. B.Better to strive than to arrive. C.Practice makes perfect. D.Where there’s a will, there’s a way. (共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) Long-distance flights can feel never-ending, particularly if you don’t get any sleep. Counting down the hours or minutes until you can finally get some relief off the plane becomes an obsession (执念). And, even if you do manage to get some rest, sitting upright can harm your neck and back.       40       Here are some tips to help you sleep better on airplanes.       41       Colin Espie, a sleep expert, says you shouldn’t try to force yourself to sleep. Even though it may seem against common sense, it’s important to try and let yourself fall asleep naturally. Sleep is a natural biological process, and it is much easier to let your body naturally take over. Choose your seat carefully. If you get the chance to select your own seat, Espie says you should be choosy when it comes to where you sit. Specifically, try to secure a seat away from busy areas on the plane, such as near the service areas where flight attendants may move around at all hours.       42       Choose your in-flight refreshments wisely. Many frequent flyers like to bring travel snacks along, especially on long flights. However, snacks with sugar and substances like caffeine, chocolate and alcohol can all affect sleep.       43       However, alcohol can have a negative effect on sleep, even if it helps with the onset of sleep.       44       If you come prepared in the right mindset and with the right tools, catching some Zs in the air may be easier than you think. A.Keep the same sleeping schedule. B.Arrive well-rested and don’t try to force it. C.Frequent travelers agree sleeping upright is no easy task. D.You should also try to select seats with extra legroom if you can. E.Alcohol may help you fall asleep initially, which can be confusing. F.You can use various online tools to track changes in seat availability. G.In short, sleeping on a plane doesn’t have to be as bad as it may seem. 三、完形填空(共15小题,共15分) (共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分) Last fall, I studied abroad at the Technical University. My main criterion (标准) for       45       a school was that I wanted to live in a country where I could       46       English alone.

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. ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________   第1页 共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
