Today, this island is only accessible by boat. While boat rentals are available, it is highly recommended that visitors book one of the tours that will take you to the island with a local expert who can tell you all about the area’s history and marine life. Huntington Beach State Park Located between Myrtle Beach and Georgetown, Huntington Beach State Park offers historic sites, fishing, hiking, guided walks, and, of course, a three-mile beach.

The experience inside the room differed from a regular movie showing. During gaps between dialogue and sound in the film, detailed audio descriptions explained what was happening — describing the scenery, the action and even the body language. The version screened for these attendees was created by Guangming Cinema. Since it was founded in 2017, the volunteer-driven organization has involved over 800 teachers and students in producing, promoting, and distributing accessible films. To adapt a single 90-minute movie, the team begins by watching it ten times, carefully studying every detail. Only then do they draft audio guidance, typically 20,000 to 30,000 characters long, and bring an accessible version of the movie to life. It is never easy to “tell” a movie to those with vision loss. Hu Fang, a project volunteer, was once asked by a child, “What is the color red?” This question revealed how little sighted narrators understand about the experience of visually impaired moviegoers. From then on, Hu’s team ensured their descriptions fit the film and reflected how the world is perceived through sound. Over the years, the team have organized many screenings nationwide. To reach more audiences, they work closely with local disability organizations and schools. They provide the movies and support, while partners host the screenings and connect with local audiences. These screenings offer more than movies — they also deliver a valuable social experience. “Accessible cinema adds color to our lives and gives us a reason to go out. Chatting with other friends at these events is enjoyable, and it also gives us more to talk about with sighted people,” said Xu Wei. Looking ahead, Xu hopes that increased accessible guidance will allow people with various disabilities to better enjoy films, exhibitions, museums and other cultural experiences, giving everyone equal access to the arts. 24. What can we learn about Xu Wei from paragraph 1? A. He worked as a narrator for the blind. B. He discovered a film’s deeper significance. C. He enjoyed a standard opera screening. D. He watched a film with audio descriptions. 25. What did Hu Fang and her team do after hearing the child’s question? A. They learned how to tell the color. B. They changed their narration way. C. They gave priority to others’ feelings. D. They took the description of colors seriously. 26. What can be inferred from Xu Wei’s words in paragraph 4? A. Audio descriptions still need improvement. B. Accessible cinemas should be more widespread. C. Screening events help build social connections. D. Sighted people lack awareness of the blind’s needs. 27. What is the main idea of the text? A. Volunteers’ filmmaking faces many challenges. B. A movie theater is strongly supporting the disabled. C. Audio descriptions explain movie dialogues clearly. D. A cinema enables visually-impaired audience to watch films. In May 2026, US President Donald Trump paid an official state visit to China from May 13th to 15th. People around the world care deeply about the talks between China and the US, as these two major economies play a vital role in global development. Their decisions can influence nearly all countries on Earth. The US looks rich and strong on the outside, developing fast in new technology. However, it currently faces several domestic challenges. The country spends heavily and owes massive debts, while strict tax rules have led to rising costs for common people, who now have to spend more on daily necessities. Meanwhile, China continues to excel in manufacturing and exporting goods. More and more Chinese products are popular abroad due to their quality and affordability. However, most Chinese people currently choose to save money rather than spend freely, feeling cautious about future economic uncertainties. Friendly talks can bring positive changes for both sides. If the negotiations go well, more jobs and business opportunities will emerge. If not, China is prepared to explore new ways to find more global markets. The visit also highlighted the strong “magnetic effect” (磁吸效应/吸引力) of the Chinese market. Accompanying Trump was a delegation (代表团) of top business leaders, including tech giants like Elon Musk and Jensen Huang. Their presence reflects a reality: despite political tensions, top-tier American enterprises are eager to tap into China’s massive market and maintain their supply chains. As the world watches closely, both nations have shown a willingness to face changes and difficulties with calm and confidence. The visit serves as a reminder that in an interconnected world, cooperation remains the most rational (理性的) choice for mutual benefit (互利共赢). 28. What is the primary reason people worldwide pay close attention to the China-US talks? A. The US is facing severe domestic economic challenges. B. China has become the world’s largest manufacturing country. C. The two countries’ decisions have a significant global impact. D. Top American business leaders are accompanying the US President. 29. According to the text, what is the current spending attitude of most Chinese people? A. They are spending freely on daily necessities. B. They are buying more affordable foreign products. C. They are investing heavily in new technologies. D. They prefer to save money due to future uncertainties. 30. What does the underlined phrase “tap into” in Paragraph 3 most likely mean? A. Avoid completely. B. Keep an eye on. C. Break away from. D. Take advantage of. 31. What can be inferred from the passage about the US business leaders’ visit? A. They are completely unaffected by political tensions. B. They have decided to move all their supply chains back to the US. C. They are more eager for market opportunities than political outcomes. D. They are visiting China mainly to negotiate strict tax rules. The recent discovery of 2025 PN7, a quasi-moon (准卫星) orbiting near Earth, shows both the dynamic nature of our solar system and the advancing capabilities of astronomical observation. This small object, recently detected by the Pan-STARRS telescope, has likely been a faint, unseen companion to our planet for about six decades. Its elusiveness is due to its small size, estimated at 62 feet in diameter, making it the smallest-known object of its kind. It only becomes detectable during its rare close approaches, such as swinging within 186,000 miles from Earth. The existence of 2025 PN7 holds significant scientific value. Firstly, it challenges previous assumptions, suggesting there may be no lower size limit for quasi-satellites, implying many more such small companions could remain undiscovered. Secondly, its origin is of great interest. Like the previously discovered Kamo’oalewa — a target of China’s Tianwen-2 mission — 2025 PN7 is hypothesized to be a rocky, natural object, potentially a fragment from the moon or part of the so-called Arjuna asteroid (小行星) group, which shares Earth-like orbits around the sun. Studying these bodies can unlock secrets of the history of lunar impacts and the composition of near-Earth objects. Furthermore, quasi-moons like 2025 PN7 present practical opportunities for space exploration. As stated by researcher Carlos de la Fuente Marcos, their accessible orbits make them ideal testing grounds for unmanned missions, allowing for the development of planetary exploration technologies with a relatively modest investment. They pose no impact threat, while they serve as convenient stepping stones for deeper space ventures. In conclusion, the discovery of 2025 PN7 is more than merely cataloging a new quasi-satellite. It highlights the endless surprises within our solar system and opens new avenues to understanding planetary formation and advancing space technology, proving that even the smallest astronomical neighbours can yield profound insights. 32. What does the underlined word “elusiveness” in the first paragraph probably mean? A. Hard-to-detect nature. B. Fast-moving characteristic. C. Long-existing property. D. Shape-changing feature. 33. Why does the author mention Kamo’oalewa in the passage? A. To illustrate a possible composition and origin of quasi-moons. B. To compare the exploration plans of different space agencies. C. To prove that all quasi-satellites are targets of space missions. D. To warn about the potential dangers of near-Earth objects. 34. According to the passage, what is a potential practical use for quasi-moons like 2025 PN7? A. Providing rare resources for space research. B. Being used as bases for human space exploration. C. Helping predict the movement of near-Earth asteroids. D. Serving as test sites for technologies of unmanned missions. 35. What can be inferred from the passage about the future study of quasi-moons? A. It may help scientists identify the specific type of 2025 PN7’s origin. B. It will mainly focus on assessing their possible threat to Earth. C. It may deepen scientists’ understanding of the moon’s impact history. D. It will be stopped due to the high cost of developing exploration tools. Most British children go to some kind of nursery school or day care facility between the ages of three and five. This early schooling is paid by the parents, unless the parents are unable to pay the fees. ____36____ Free primary schooling is available to children between the ages of five and twelve. ____37____ Tertiary (第三级的) school is primarily for students between the ages of sixteen and eighteen years who plan to enter the university or who choose some kind of vocational training. Young people who leave school at sixteen may enter the workplace, or they might be apprenticed to a master, such as a bricklayer, builder, or even a lawyer or an accountant. Some students prefer to work during the day and study for advanced degrees by enrolling in evening classes, but others study for a two-year associate degree or a three-year college degree. Some eighteen-year-olds will also go directly to work. ____38____ At age eighteen, a student takes the “A” level (Advanced Level) examinations, a requirement to enter a university. A bachelor’s degree is a three-year program. Both a master’s degree and a doctorate require two additional years of education each. ____39____ Before 8 a.m. and after 3 p.m., the streets fill with these students walking or cycling to and from schools. In urban areas they crowd the public transport system, chatting with their mates. Free education has benefited all citizens, but essentially the school system is designed to keep the classes separate. The upper classes always send their young children to the good “public” schools, such as Eton or Harrow, which actually are very expensive private schools. Some middle-class children also attend these “public” schools; others attend less expensive “public” schools which also provide a very good education. ____40____ After graduation, the brightest students will attend a good secondary school, known as a grammar school, and may receive a scholarship to a good university. A. In this case, the children go to a free state school or day care. B. Primary and secondary school students usually wear school uniforms. C. However, the majority of students go to the state schools which are free. D. About 75% of all British children will attend some form of higher education after secondary school. E. Usually children from working class families will go to the comprehensive schools until age sixteen when they enter the work force. F. Secondary school consists of two programs: the first is “middle school” or “junior high school” and the second program is “high school.” G. Free secondary schooling is for students between the ages of twelve and sixteen. 三、完形填空 Mauna Loa in Hawaii is among the world’s most active volcanoes. However, this ____41____ spot is an ideal place for simulating (模拟) a space mission to Mars. The site was chosen because it is relatively remote and ____42____ to the conditions on Mars.

As the only Chinese student in my Australian high school, I knew this was my chance to share our profound culture. But how could I explain the philosophy behind a simple cup of tea in English? During practices, my hands trembled as I poured boiling water into the teapot. My classmate Liam watched doubtfully. “Why bother with all these steps?” he asked, pointing at the tea tools. “We just dip tea bags in cups.” His words hurt, but I understood — to Australians used to instant coffee, our ceremony seemed unnecessarily complicated. On the presentation day, my throat tightened seeing the packed hall. I took a deep breath and began the ceremony: warming cups, washing leaves, pouring tea in three gentle streams. Halfway through, I noticed Mrs. Wilkins looking impatiently at her wristwatch. Panic surged — were they bored? I almost skipped the crucial “fragrance appreciation” step to hurry up. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Just as I was about to skip the step, I remembered why I started this journey to share our culture. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Slowly, I picked up the tea leaves and began to explain the deeper meaning to the audience. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。It's only two ten P.

Companies are unwilling to accept this for a variety of reasons — because it’s not what they’re used to, because they’re afraid their employees will be lazy if they’re not in the office, because they just don’t see the benefits in allowing their employees to work from home — but those companies that have accepted remote working, and I mean gladly accepted, have seen it for what it is: an excellent opportunity to develop. At my company, about 50% of our full-time, permanent employees now work from home at least three days a week, and the other 50% work from home one day a week, with the exception of departments such as finance, HR and reception. And you know what that means? It means we can rent a smaller space and lower our monthly overhead costs. It means our employees who have children no longer need to quit their jobs to take care of them. They can stay at home with their kids, look after them and at the same time respond to phone calls and emails. It means that our employees are happy, because they save money and time and avoid the stress of traveling to work, and we are happy because they are doing their jobs better as a result of their flexibility. 二、阅读理解 Four Best Beach Spots in South Carolina Morris Island What was once a war fort (堡垒) is now an island without residents in the Charleston Harbor marked by the state’s tallest lighthouse. Today, this island is only accessible by boat.

Visitors can approach the sandy beach from 36 different entry points, some of which provide wheel chair access.”（2016年1月，它被誉为世界上第一个自闭症友好的旅游目的地。游客可以从36个不同的入口进入沙滩，其中一些入口提供轮椅通道。）可知，Surfside Beach最适合需要额外照顾的游客，比如自闭症患者。故选B项。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据Huntington Beach State Park部分中“There are over 300 species of birds here, making the park a wonderland for birders.”（这里有300多种鸟类，使公园成为观鸟者的仙境。）和Fripp Island部分中“Watch some of the 175 species of birds that live along the ocean and salt marsh(沼泽), or other local animals such as alligators, dolphins, and loggerhead turtles.”（观赏175种生活在海洋和盐沼沿岸的鸟类，或其他当地动物，如短吻鳄、海豚和红海龟。）可知，Huntington Beach State Park和Fripp Island都都是观赏野生动物的绝佳地点。故选C项。 On a cold Wednesday morning, Xu Wei, who is visually impaired (受损的), joined 40 other attendees to “watch” the film called One and Only. The experience inside the room differed from a regular movie showing. During gaps between dialogue and sound in the film, detailed audio descriptions explained what was happening — describing the scenery, the action and even the body language. The version screened for these attendees was created by Guangming Cinema. Since it was founded in 2017, the volunteer-driven organization has involved over 800 teachers and students in producing, promoting, and distributing accessible films. To adapt a single 90-minute movie, the team begins by watching it ten times, carefully studying every detail. Only then do they draft audio guidance, typically 20,000 to 30,000 characters long, and bring an accessible version of the movie to life. It is never easy to “tell” a movie to those with vision loss. Hu Fang, a project volunteer, was once asked by a child, “What is the color red?” This question revealed how little sighted narrators understand about the experience of visually impaired moviegoers. From then on, Hu’s team ensured their descriptions fit the film and reflected how the world is perceived through sound. Over the years, the team have organized many screenings nationwide. To reach more audiences, they work closely with local disability organizations and schools. They provide the movies and support, while partners host the screenings and connect with local audiences. These screenings offer more than movies — they also deliver a valuable social experience. “Accessible cinema adds color to our lives and gives us a reason to go out. Chatting with other friends at these events is enjoyable, and it also gives us more to talk about with sighted people,” said Xu Wei. Looking ahead, Xu hopes that increased accessible guidance will allow people with various disabilities to better enjoy films, exhibitions, museums and other cultural experiences, giving everyone equal access to the arts. 24. What can we learn about Xu Wei from paragraph 1? A. He worked as a narrator for the blind. B. He discovered a film’s deeper significance. C. He enjoyed a standard opera screening. D. He watched a film with audio descriptions. 25. What did Hu Fang and her team do after hearing the child’s question? A. They learned how to tell the color. B. They changed their narration way. C. They gave priority to others’ feelings. D. They took the description of colors seriously. 26. What can be inferred from Xu Wei’s words in paragraph 4? A. Audio descriptions still need improvement. B. Accessible cinemas should be more widespread. C. Screening events help build social connections. D. Sighted people lack awareness of the blind’s needs. 27. What is the main idea of the text? A. Volunteers’ filmmaking faces many challenges. B. A movie theater is strongly supporting the disabled. C. Audio descriptions explain movie dialogues clearly. D. A cinema enables visually-impaired audience to watch films. 【答案】24. D 25. B 26. C 27. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要说明了光明影院组织志愿者制作无障碍电影，反复打磨音频解说，联合机构放映，给视障人士社交机会，期盼更多无障碍文化服务。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“The experience inside the room differed from a regular movie showing. During gaps between dialogue and sound in the film, detailed audio descriptions explained what was happening — describing the scenery, the action and even the body language.(房间内的体验与普通电影放映有所不同。在影片对话和声音之间的间隙，会配有详细的音频解说，描述正在发生的情景——包括场景、动作，甚至肢体语言)”可知，Xu Wei观看的是带有音频描述的电影。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“From then on, Hu’s team ensured their descriptions fit the film and reflected how the world is perceived through sound.(从那时起，胡的团队确保他们的描述与电影内容相符，并反映出声音如何呈现世界)”可知，孩子提问后团队改变了解说方式。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Accessible cinema adds color to our lives and gives us a reason to go out. Chatting with other friends at these events is enjoyable, and it also gives us more to talk about with sighted people(无障碍影院为我们的生活增添了色彩，也让我们有了出门的理由。在这些活动中与朋友聊天非常愉快，同时也能让我们与视力正常的人们有更多话题可聊)”可知，放映活动提供了社交机会，帮助建立社交联系。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“The version screened for these attendees was created by Guangming Cinema. Since it was founded in 2017, the volunteer-driven organization has involved over 800 teachers and students in producing, promoting, and distributing accessible films. To adapt a single 90-minute movie, the team begins by watching it ten times, carefully studying every detail.

People around the world care deeply about the talks between China and the US, as these two major economies play a vital role in global development. Their decisions can influence nearly all countries on Earth. The US looks rich and strong on the outside, developing fast in new technology. However, it currently faces several domestic challenges. The country spends heavily and owes massive debts, while strict tax rules have led to rising costs for common people, who now have to spend more on daily necessities. Meanwhile, China continues to excel in manufacturing and exporting goods. More and more Chinese products are popular abroad due to their quality and affordability. However, most Chinese people currently choose to save money rather than spend freely, feeling cautious about future economic uncertainties. Friendly talks can bring positive changes for both sides. If the negotiations go well, more jobs and business opportunities will emerge. If not, China is prepared to explore new ways to find more global markets. The visit also highlighted the strong “magnetic effect” (磁吸效应/吸引力) of the Chinese market. Accompanying Trump was a delegation (代表团) of top business leaders, including tech giants like Elon Musk and Jensen Huang. Their presence reflects a reality: despite political tensions, top-tier American enterprises are eager to tap into China’s massive market and maintain their supply chains. As the world watches closely, both nations have shown a willingness to face changes and difficulties with calm and confidence. The visit serves as a reminder that in an interconnected world, cooperation remains the most rational (理性的) choice for mutual benefit (互利共赢). 28. What is the primary reason people worldwide pay close attention to the China-US talks? A. The US is facing severe domestic economic challenges. B. China has become the world’s largest manufacturing country. C. The two countries’ decisions have a significant global impact. D. Top American business leaders are accompanying the US President. 29. According to the text, what is the current spending attitude of most Chinese people? A. They are spending freely on daily necessities. B. They are buying more affordable foreign products. C. They are investing heavily in new technologies. D. They prefer to save money due to future uncertainties. 30. What does the underlined phrase “tap into” in Paragraph 3 most likely mean? A. Avoid completely. B. Keep an eye on. C. Break away from. D. Take advantage of. 31. What can be inferred from the passage about the US business leaders’ visit? A. They are completely unaffected by political tensions. B. They have decided to move all their supply chains back to the US. C. They are more eager for market opportunities than political outcomes. D. They are visiting China mainly to negotiate strict tax rules. 【答案】28. C 29. D 30. D 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文以2026年美国总统访华为背景，探讨了中美两国在全球经济中的重要角色、各自面临的挑战以及加强合作的必要性，强调了互利共赢的重要性。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“People around the world care deeply about the talks between China and the US, as these two major economies play a vital role in global development. Their decisions can influence nearly all countries on Earth.(全世界人民都高度关注中美之间的会谈，因为这两个主要经济体在全球发展中发挥着至关重要的作用，它们的决定几乎可以影响地球上的所有国家)”可知，全世界关注中美会谈的主要原因是两国的决定对全球有重大影响。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“However, most Chinese people currently choose to save money rather than spend freely, feeling cautious about future economic uncertainties.(然而，目前大多数中国人由于对未来的经济不确定性持谨慎态度，选择存钱而非随意消费)”可知，大多数中国人的消费态度是因未来的不确定性更倾向于存钱。 【30题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“The visit also highlighted the strong “magnetic effect” (磁吸效应/吸引力) of the Chinese market. ...Their presence reflects a reality: despite political tensions, top-tier American enterprises are eager to tap into China’s massive market and maintain their supply chains.(此次访问也凸显出中国市场强大的磁吸效应。……他们的到访反映出一个现实：尽管存在政治紧张局势，美国头部企业仍渴望tap into中国的庞大市场并维持自身供应链)”可知，中国市场强大的磁吸效应，因此美国头部企业想要利用这个庞大的市场，故猜测tap into意为“利用”。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Their presence reflects a reality: despite political tensions, top-tier American enterprises are eager to tap into China’s massive market and maintain their supply chains.(他们的到场反映了一个现实：尽管存在政治紧张局势，美国头部企业仍渴望开发中国的庞大市场并维持自身供应链)”可推知，这些美国商界领袖相比政治层面的结果，更渴望中国市场带来的商业机遇。 The recent discovery of 2025 PN7, a quasi-moon (准卫星) orbiting near Earth, shows both the dynamic nature of our solar system and the advancing capabilities of astronomical observation. This small object, recently detected by the Pan-STARRS telescope, has likely been a faint, unseen companion to our planet for about six decades. Its elusiveness is due to its small size, estimated at 62 feet in diameter, making it the smallest-known object of its kind. It only becomes detectable during its rare close approaches, such as swinging within 186,000 miles from Earth. The existence of 2025 PN7 holds significant scientific value. Firstly, it challenges previous assumptions, suggesting there may be no lower size limit for quasi-satellites, implying many more such small companions could remain undiscovered. Secondly, its origin is of great interest. Like the previously discovered Kamo’oalewa — a target of China’s Tianwen-2 mission — 2025 PN7 is hypothesized to be a rocky, natural object, potentially a fragment from the moon or part of the so-called Arjuna asteroid (小行星) group, which shares Earth-like orbits around the sun. Studying these bodies can unlock secrets of the history of lunar impacts and the composition of near-Earth objects. Furthermore, quasi-moons like 2025 PN7 present practical opportunities for space exploration. As stated by researcher Carlos de la Fuente Marcos, their accessible orbits make them ideal testing grounds for unmanned missions, allowing for the development of planetary exploration technologies with a relatively modest investment. They pose no impact threat, while they serve as convenient stepping stones for deeper space ventures. In conclusion, the discovery of 2025 PN7 is more than merely cataloging a new quasi-satellite. It highlights the endless surprises within our solar system and opens new avenues to understanding planetary formation and advancing space technology, proving that even the smallest astronomical neighbours can yield profound insights. 32. What does the underlined word “elusiveness” in the first paragraph probably mean? A. Hard-to-detect nature. B. Fast-moving characteristic. C. Long-existing property. D. Shape-changing feature. 33. Why does the author mention Kamo’oalewa in the passage? A. To illustrate a possible composition and origin of quasi-moons. B. To compare the exploration plans of different space agencies. C. To prove that all quasi-satellites are targets of space missions. D. To warn about the potential dangers of near-Earth objects. 34. According to the passage, what is a potential practical use for quasi-moons like 2025 PN7? A. Providing rare resources for space research. B. Being used as bases for human space exploration. C. Helping predict the movement of near-Earth asteroids. D. Serving as test sites for technologies of unmanned missions. 35. What can be inferred from the passage about the future study of quasi-moons? A. It may help scientists identify the specific type of 2025 PN7’s origin. B. It will mainly focus on assessing their possible threat to Earth. C. It may deepen scientists’ understanding of the moon’s impact history. D. It will be stopped due to the high cost of developing exploration tools. 【答案】32. A 33. A 34. D 35. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了准卫星2025 PN7的发现及其科学价值，包括对行星形成和太空技术发展的启示。 【32题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中“This small object, recently detected by the Pan-STARRS telescope, has likely been a faint, unseen companion to our planet for about six decades. Its elusiveness is due to its small size, estimated at 62 feet in diameter... It only becomes detectable during its rare close approaches (这个小型天体最近被Pan-STARRS望远镜探测到，可能已经作为我们星球一个暗淡、看不见的伴侣存在了大约六十年。它的elusiveness是由于它的小尺寸，直径估计为62英尺……它只有在罕见的近距离接近时才能被探测到)”可知，2025 PN7难以被探测到。故划线词指的是它“难以探测的特性”，与A项“Hard-to-detect nature”同义。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Like the previously discovered Kamo’oalewa... 2025 PN7 is hypothesized to be a rocky, natural object, potentially a fragment from the moon or part of the so-called Arjuna asteroid (小行星) group (与先前发现的Kamo’oalewa类似……2025 PN7被假设为一个岩石质的自然天体，可能是月球的一块碎片，或者是所谓的Arjuna小行星群的一部分)”可知，作者提及Kamo’oalewa是为了通过比较，说明其可能的组成(岩石质自天体)和起源(月球碎片或Arjuna小行星群的一部分)，即准卫星2025 PN7可能的构成和来源。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“their accessible orbits make them ideal testing grounds for unmanned missions, allowing for the development of planetary exploration technologies with a relatively modest investment.(它们易于接近的轨道使它们成为无人任务的理想试验场，允许以相对适度的投资发展行星探测技术)”可知，像2025 PN7这样的准卫星可以作为无人任务技术的测试点。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Studying these bodies can unlock secrets of the history of lunar impacts and the composition of near-Earth objects.(研究这些天体可以揭示月球撞击历史以及近地天体构成的秘密)”以及最后一段“It highlights the endless surprises within our solar system and opens new avenues to understanding planetary formation and advancing space technology, proving that even the smallest astronomical neighbours can yield profound insights.(它凸显了太阳系内无穷无尽的惊喜，开辟了理解行星形成和推进太空技术的新途径，证明了即便是最微小的天文邻居也能带来深刻的启示)”可推知，对准卫星的未来研究可能加深科学家对月球撞击历史的理解。 Most British children go to some kind of nursery school or day care facility between the ages of three and five. This early schooling is paid by the parents, unless the parents are unable to pay the fees. ____36____ Free primary schooling is available to children between the ages of five and twelve. ____37____ Tertiary (第三级的) school is primarily for students between the ages of sixteen and eighteen years who plan to enter the university or who choose some kind of vocational training. Young people who leave school at sixteen may enter the workplace, or they might be apprenticed to a master, such as a bricklayer, builder, or even a lawyer or an accountant. Some students prefer to work during the day and study for advanced degrees by enrolling in evening classes, but others study for a two-year associate degree or a three-year college degree. Some eighteen-year-olds will also go directly to work. ____38____ At age eighteen, a student takes the “A” level (Advanced Level) examinations, a requirement to enter a university. A bachelor’s degree is a three-year program. Both a master’s degree and a doctorate require two additional years of education each. ____39____ Before 8 a.m. and after 3 p.m., the streets fill with these students walking or cycling to and from schools. In urban areas they crowd the public transport system, chatting with their mates. Free education has benefited all citizens, but essentially the school system is designed to keep the classes separate. The upper classes always send their young children to the good “public” schools, such as Eton or Harrow, which actually are very expensive private schools. Some middle-class children also attend these “public” schools; others attend less expensive “public” schools which also provide a very good education. ____40____ After graduation, the brightest students will attend a good secondary school, known as a grammar school, and may receive a scholarship to a good university. A. In this case, the children go to a free state school or day care. B. Primary and secondary school students usually wear school uniforms. C. However, the majority of students go to the state schools which are free. D. About 75% of all British children will attend some form of higher education after secondary school. E. Usually children from working class families will go to the comprehensive schools until age sixteen when they enter the work force. F. Secondary school consists of two programs: the first is “middle school” or “junior high school” and the second program is “high school.” G. Free secondary schooling is for students between the ages of twelve and sixteen. 【答案】36. A 37. G 38. D 39. B 40. E 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍英国3到5岁早教付费（无力支付者免费），5到12岁小学、12到16岁中学免费，及后续教育路径，还提及教育的阶级差异。 【36题详解】 根据上文“Most British children go to some kind of nursery school or day care facility between the ages of three and five. This early schooling is paid by the parents, unless the parents are unable to pay the fees.(大多数英国儿童在三岁至五岁之间会进入某种托儿所或日托中心接受教育。这种早期教育费用由家长承担，除非家长无力支付费用)”可知，前文提到3到5岁儿童的早期教育通常由父母付费，除非父母无力支付。故本句承接“无力支付”的情况，补充说明免费教育的替代选择，故A选项“在这种情况下，孩子们会去免费的公立学校或日托所”符合语境，故选A。 【37题详解】 根据上文“Free primary schooling is available to children between the ages of five and twelve.(五岁至十二岁的儿童可享受免费的初等教育)”以及后文“Tertiary (第三级的) school is primarily for students between the ages of sixteen and eighteen years who plan to enter the university or who choose some kind of vocational training.(中学主要招收年龄在16至18岁之间的学生，这些学生有的打算进入大学深造，有的则选择接受某种职业培训)”可知，前文介绍5-12岁的免费小学教育，后文转向16-18岁的第三级教育，本句填补小学与第三级教育之间的学段空白，故G选项“免费的中学教育面向12至16岁的学生”符合语境，故选G。 【38题详解】 根据上文“Young people who leave school at sixteen may enter the workplace, or they might be apprenticed to a master, such as a bricklayer, builder, or even a lawyer or an accountant. Some students prefer to work during the day and study for advanced degrees by enrolling in evening classes, but others study for a two-year associate degree or a three-year college degree. Some eighteen-year-olds will also go directly to work.(16岁就离开学校的年轻人可以选择进入职场，或者可以跟随一位师傅学习，比如学砌砖、建筑，甚至学法律或会计。有些学生则喜欢白天工作，晚上参加夜校课程来攻读更高的学位，但也有一些学生会攻读两年制的副学士学位或三年制的大学学位。还有一些 18 岁的年轻人会直接去工作)”以及后文“At age eighteen, a student takes the “A” level (Advanced Level) examinations, a requirement to enter a university. A bachelor’s degree is a three-year program. Both a master’s degree and a doctorate require two additional years of education each.(在十八岁时，学生需要参加“A”级（高级）考试，这是进入大学的必要条件。学士学位是一个为期三年的课程。硕士和博士学位则分别需要额外两年的学习时间)”可知，前文讲16岁和18岁学生的不同选择（工作、学徒、夜校等），后文具体说明 18 岁参加“A level”考试进入大学及学位学制。本句承上启下，既总结前文的升学选择，又引出后文的大学教育细节。故D选项“大约75%的英国儿童在中学毕业后会接受某种形式的高等教育”符合语境，故选D。 【39题详解】 根据后文“Before 8 a.m. and after 3 p.m., the streets fill with these students walking or cycling to and from schools. In urban areas they crowd the public transport system, chatting with their mates.(早上8点前和下午3点后，街道上满是这些学生，他们或步行、或骑自行车往返于学校。在城市地区，他们挤满了公共交通系统，与同伴们交谈着)”可知，后文描述上学和放学时段学生的出行场景（街头、公交、与同伴聊天）。本句通过学生的共同特征（校服）衔接后文的群体场景描写，使段落聚焦于学生日常。故B选项“小学和中学的学生通常要穿校服”符合语境，故选B。 【40题详解】 根据上文“Free education has benefited all citizens, but essentially the school system is designed to keep the classes separate. The upper classes always send their young children to the good “public” schools, such as Eton or Harrow, which actually are very expensive private schools. Some middle-class children also attend these “public” schools; others attend less expensive “public” schools which also provide a very good education.(免费教育惠及了所有公民，但实质上学校系统的设计初衷是将学生分隔开来。上层家庭总是把他们的子女送到优质的“公立”学校，比如伊顿公学或哈罗公学，这些学校实际上就是非常昂贵的私立学校。一些中产阶级的孩子也会就读这些“公立”学校；而另一些则就读费用较低的“公立”学校，这些学校也能提供非常好的教育)”以及后文“After graduation, the brightest students will attend a good secondary school, known as a grammar school, and may receive a scholarship to a good university.(毕业后，成绩最优异的学生将进入一所优质的中学，即所谓的“文法学校”，并且可能会获得进入优秀大学的奖学金)”可知，前文对比上层阶级和中产阶级子女的学校选择，强调教育系统的阶级差异，本句补充了工人阶级的教育路径，完整呈现不同阶级的教育分化，与前文逻辑一致。故E选项“通常，来自工人阶级家庭的孩子会一直就读于综合学校，直到 16 岁时才开始进入职场”符合语境，故选E。 三、完形填空 Mauna Loa in Hawaii is among the world’s most active volcanoes.

As the only Chinese student in my Australian high school, I knew this was my chance to share our profound culture. But how could I explain the philosophy behind a simple cup of tea in English? During practices, my hands trembled as I poured boiling water into the teapot. My classmate Liam watched doubtfully. “Why bother with all these steps?” he asked, pointing at the tea tools. “We just dip tea bags in cups.” His words hurt, but I understood — to Australians used to instant coffee, our ceremony seemed unnecessarily complicated. On the presentation day, my throat tightened seeing the packed hall. I took a deep breath and began the ceremony: warming cups, washing leaves, pouring tea in three gentle streams. Halfway through, I noticed Mrs. Wilkins looking impatiently at her wristwatch. Panic surged — were they bored? I almost skipped the crucial “fragrance appreciation” step to hurry up. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Just as I was about to skip the step, I remembered why I started this journey to share our culture. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Slowly, I picked up the tea leaves and began to explain the deeper meaning to the audience. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Just as I was about to skip the step, I remembered why I started this journey to share our culture. I took a deep breath and invited everyone to smell the tea’s beautiful scent. Slowly, I explained that this step teaches patience and respect for nature — key ideas in Chinese life. Seeing the audience’s curious faces, I felt hope growing inside me. Slowly, I picked up the tea leaves and began to explain the deeper meaning to the audience. “In China,” I said, “tea art connects us to peace and family.” Mrs. Wilkins stopped looking at her watch, and Liam even smiled. By the end, when I shared the tea, many clapped warmly. Later, students asked questions about Chinese traditions, and I realized this small act could spread our culture worldwide. I went home proud, knowing I had helped bridge different worlds through a simple cup of tea. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了身为澳大利亚高中唯一中国学生的“我”，被选中在学校国际文化节上展示中国茶艺，在练习过程中，同学Liam质疑茶艺步骤繁琐，展示当天面对满场观众“我”很紧张，且发现Mrs. Wilkins不耐烦，“我”差点跳过关键的“闻香”步骤。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“就在我准备跳过这一步的时候，我想起了自己开启这场分享文化之旅的初衷。”可知，第一段续写应围绕“我”重拾信心，邀请观众闻茶香并解释这一步骤背后体现的耐心和对自然的尊重展开，展现观众好奇的反应，为下文进一步阐述做铺垫。 ②由第二段首句内容“我缓缓拿起茶叶，开始向观众阐释其更深层次的含义”可知，第二段续写要体现“我”向观众阐述茶艺背后更深层次的意义，如茶艺与平和、家庭的联系，展示观众态度的转变，结尾点明“我”通过这次展示成功传播中国文化，以茶为桥梁连接不同文化的感悟。 2.续写线索：“我”想起分享文化的初衷——邀请观众闻茶香并解释——观众好奇——“我”阐述茶艺深层意义——观众态度转变——“我”成功传播文化，感悟以茶连接不同文化。 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①微笑：smile/beam ②解释：explain /clarify ③意识到：realize /be aware 情绪类 ①好奇的：curious /inquisitive ②热情地：warmly /enthusiastically 【点睛】【高分句型 1】Slowly, I explained that this step teaches patience and respect for nature — key ideas in Chinese life.（运用that引导宾语从句） 【高分句型 2】By the end, when I shared the tea, many clapped warmly.（运用了when引导的时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
