Every seat was taken, with more students standing against the wall. I had never seen a humanities class so full. A student whispered that the waitlist was closed. I was puzzled and curious — what made this class so popular? When the instructor walked in and introduced the course, I realized my mistake. This course was about writing stories, not analyzing them, and it wouldn’t count toward my major. Yet, I felt a surprising pull to stay — perhaps from the energetic atmosphere, or my curiosity about how stories were made. But with no spot available, joining seemed impossible. Then the instructor asked, “Who will volunteer to submit the first workshop story?” The room fell silent. To go first meant writing a complete story in a week — a challenging task. No one raised a hand. Seeing an opportunity, I gathered my courage and asked, “If I volunteer to go first, could I join the class? ” After a pause, the instructor nodded. I had talked my way in. Years later, while working on a novel, I met a literary agent who asked to see part of my manuscript. Conventional wisdom warned against contacting agents before completing a full draft. But I remembered what I had learned from that writing class: sometimes you must speak up before you feel ready. I sent her the first three chapters. A month later, she agreed to represent me based on those alone. Determination helped me finish what I started. But the best opportunities came from raising my hand at the right moment — saying yes before I felt completely ready. 4. What might be the reason for the author to stay in the class? A. The need for credits. B. The mistake she made. C. The lively spirit on site. D. The famous instructor. 5. How did the author manage to join the class? A. By volunteering to be an assistant. B. By asking the instructor a question. C. By writing a touching story draft. D. By being the first to hand in the work. 6. What did the author do when writing a novel? A. Applying the lesson learned from the class. B. Following the conventional wisdom. C. Sending the full draft to a famous press. D. Delaying contacting a literary agent. 7. What message does the author mainly convey in the text? A. Success depends more on luck than planning. B. Step forward before the time is ripe. C. Choosing the right course decides your career. D. Determination is the key to opportunities. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了作者误打误撞进入热门写作课堂，靠着主动争取获得听课资格，多年后又将课堂上学到的“在准备充分之前主动出击”的经验运用到写作事业中，最终获得成功的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Yet, I felt a surprising pull to stay — perhaps from the energetic atmosphere, or my curiosity about how stories were made.(然而，我感到一种意外的吸引力让我留下——或许是来自充满活力的氛围，或许是来自我对故事如何创作的好奇心)”可知，作者被现场活跃的气氛吸引，于是留下。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Then the instructor asked, “Who will volunteer to submit the first workshop story?”...Seeing an opportunity, I gathered my courage and asked, “If I volunteer to go first, could I join the class?” After a pause, the instructor nodded. I had talked my way in.(然后讲师询问：“谁自愿提交第一篇研讨课故事？”……看到一个机会，我鼓起勇气问道：“如果我自愿第一个交，我能加入这个班吗？”停顿之后，讲师点头同意了。我靠主动争取说服了老师，获得了入班资格)”可知，作者通过主动提出成为第一个提交作业的人获得了入班资格。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Conventional wisdom warned against contacting agents before completing a full draft. But I remembered what I had learned from that writing class: sometimes you must speak up before you feel ready.(传统认知警告不要在完成完整草稿之前联系经纪人。但我想起了我从那门写作课上学到的东西：有时候你必须在觉得自己准备好之前大胆说出来)”可知，作者没有遵循传统观点，而是应用了从写作课上学到的经验，主动联系了文学经纪人。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“But the best opportunities came from raising my hand at the right moment — saying yes before I felt completely ready.(但最好的机会来自于在正确的时刻举起我的手——在我觉得完全准备好之前就说出“我愿意”)”并结合全文可知，作者在写作课堂上主动提出第一个交作业赢得了入班资格，多年后又提前将稿件交给文学经纪人而获得了出版资格，所以作者想要传递的核心信息是，不要等到完全准备好、时机完全成熟再行动，在时机成熟前就迈出脚步才能抓住最好的机会。 C If you read just one book in 2025, you belong to an endangered species. According to a recent survey, fewer than half of Americans had read a single book in the past year. As the population of readers declines, educators have been worrying about this trend. Now, some try a new method: persuading people to read to save their community spirit. They argue that reflective reading helps citizens handle complexity and recover attention. The problem with these arguments is that they misunderstand why people become readers. Telling someone to love literature because it is good for society is like telling someone to believe in God because religion is good for social stability. It is a practical argument for something that should be a personal passion. Instead of describing reading as a public duty, it should be seen as a private pleasure — even a “vice” (恶习). Historically, when literature was considered dangerous or “bad”, moralists could not stop people from buying books. Now, when books are seen as virtuous and educational, those same moralists cannot persuade anyone to pick one up. By making reading a “must-do” task for self-improvement, we have taken away its primary attraction: the thrill of doing something for its own sake, rather than for its usefulness. In fact, becoming a reader means cultivating a relationship with the world that seems counterproductive. Reading is “unprofitable”; it does not teach transferable skills or provide networking opportunities. It is, in a sense, an anti-social activity. You turn your back on the real world to enter an imaginary one. Yet, it is precisely this “uselessness” that makes reading powerful. It offers an inner freedom that cannot be measured by social value. If we want to save reading, we should stop praising its benefits and start celebrating its delightful worthlessness. 8. What is the educators’ real purpose in using the new method? A. To strengthen social stability. B. To fulfill social duties. C. To handle complex problems. D. To stop the decline in reading. 9. What does the author think of the “practical argument”? A. It is quite convincing. B. It is socially responsible. C. It is practically ineffective. D. It is morally wrong. 10. What can we infer about reading from the last paragraph? A. It helps readers avoid social duties. B. It functions as a tool for networking. C. Its power comes from its lack of profit. D. Its value lies in creating a better world. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. The Benefit of Social Reading B. Reading: A Duty or a Vice? C. How to Build Inner Freedom D. The Decline of American Literature 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。调查显示美国人读书人数减少，教育者试图以社会责任劝人阅读。作者认为这无效，阅读的魅力在于其“无用”与内在乐趣，而非功利价值。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“As the population of readers declines, educators have been worrying about this trend. Now, some try a new method: persuading people to read to save their community spirit.(随着读者数量的减少，教育工作者们一直对这一趋势感到担忧。如今，一些人尝试了一种新的方法：通过劝说人们阅读来维护他们的社区精神)”可知，教育者采用这种新方法的真正目的是阻止阅读水平的下降。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The problem with these arguments is that they misunderstand why people become readers. Telling someone to love literature because it is good for society is like telling someone to believe in God because religion is good for social stability. It is a practical argument for something that should be a personal passion. Instead of describing reading as a public duty, it should be seen as a private pleasure — even a “vice”(恶习).(这些论点存在的问题在于，它们误解了人们成为读者的原因。比如，告诉某人要热爱文学，因为文学对社会有益，这就好比告诉某人要信仰上帝，因为宗教对社会的稳定有好处。这是一种针对某种应属个人热爱之事的实用论点，但实际上它应该被视为一种个人的愉悦——甚至可以视为一种“恶习”。而不是将阅读描述为一种公共责任)”可知，作者认为“实用论点”实际上毫无效果。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Reading is “unprofitable”; it does not teach transferable skills or provide networking opportunities. It is, in a sense, an anti-social activity. You turn your back on the real world to enter an imaginary one. Yet, it is precisely this “uselessness” that makes reading powerful.(阅读“无利可图”；它既无法传授实用技能，也无法提供社交机会。从某种意义上说，阅读是一种反社会的行为。你将自己与现实世界隔离开来，进入一个虚构的世界。然而，正是这种“无用性”使得阅读具有强大的力量)”可知，阅读的力量源于其无利可图性。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“It is a practical argument for something that should be a personal passion. Instead of describing reading as a public duty, it should be seen as a private pleasure — even a “vice”(恶习).(这是一种针对某种应属个人热爱之事的实用论点，但实际上它应该被视为一种个人的愉悦——甚至可以视为一种“恶习”。而不是将阅读描述为一种公共责任)”结合文章主要说明了调查显示美国人读书人数减少，教育者试图以社会责任劝人阅读。作者认为这无效，阅读的魅力在于其“无用”与内在乐趣，而非功利价值。可知，B选项“阅读：一种责任还是恶习？”最符合文章标题。故选B。 D Planting trees alone won’t stop global warming, and nature-based climate solutions are not a licence to keep emitting (排放). That’s the underlying message of a paper published last fall in Nature by a group of climate scientists. Increasingly, Weaver, one of the scientists says, fossil (化石) fuel companies and major polluters are buying carbon credits to offset (抵消) their greenhouse gas emissions — but this reflects a faulty understanding of what it will take to achieve net-zero emissions and stop runaway warming. Weaver discusses the backwards logic of offsets. Nature-based climate solutions and carbon offsets distract from what we know is the problem: the emission of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. They go up, and we need them to come down. The best thing to do is stop letting them go up in the first place. But we also have to get them down — permanently, not attached to a tree. Claiming “I’m not going to cut down that tree over there if you give me money” is not a carbon offset. It’s like me saying to you, “Please give me $10, 000; otherwise, I’m going to go to my car dealer and buy a big, gas-heavy SUV.” It’s just silly. The problem with our current understanding of net zero is that it doesn't reflect the time periods involved. When we burn fossil carbon, really what we’re doing is taking ancient forests that died and became coal over tens of millions of years — at high pressures deep under the Earth's surface — and we’re putting that up in the atmosphere in just a few decades and expecting a tree to grow and somehow be an offset. A tree lives for 100 years and then dies and gives the carbon back to the atmosphere. That’s why we refer to geological (地质的) net zero. It means that emissions from fossil fuels must be balanced by carbon that is permanently sequestered in geological reserves, whether it be through carbon capture and storage or direct air capture and storage. 12. What is the idea of the group of scientists? A. Planting trees is the best way to stop global warming. B. Nature-based climate solutions really work very well. C. Buying carbon credits is effective net-zero emissions. D. The logic of offsets, maybe imperfect, is to be discussed. 13. How does the writer explain not cutting down a tree for money as a silly idea in para.3? A. By definition. B. By comparison. C. By analysis. D. By description. 14. What is the problem when people try to understand net zero? A. They turn a blind eye to the relevant durations. B. They overemphasize the direct air capture ability. C. They overestimate the number of trees needed. D. They fail to consider the geological reserve ability. 15. What does the underlined word “sequestered” in the last paragraph mean? A. Released. B. Produced. C. Stored. D. Destroyed. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要论述了科学家认为仅靠植树不能阻止全球变暖，碳抵消逻辑存在问题，应实现地质净零。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Increasingly, Weaver, one of the scientists says, fossil (化石) fuel companies and major polluters are buying carbon credits to offset (抵消) their greenhouse gas emissions — but this reflects a faulty understanding of what it will take to achieve net-zero emissions and stop runaway warming. Weaver discusses the backwards logic of offsets.(其中一位科学家韦弗表示，化石燃料公司和主要污染者越来越多地购买碳信用额来抵消其温室气体排放，但这反映出他们对实现净零排放和阻止全球变暖失控所需付出的努力存在误解。韦弗讨论了抵消的逆逻辑)”可知，科学家们认为碳抵消的逻辑有待讨论，也许并不完美。故选D。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“It’s like me saying to you, “Please give me $10, 000; otherwise, I’m going to go to my car dealer and buy a big, gas-heavy SUV.” It’s just silly.(这就像我对你说：“给我1万美元；否则，我就去汽车经销商那里买一辆大型、高油耗的SUV。”这太愚蠢了)”可知，作者通过比较来解释不砍树换钱是个愚蠢的想法。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“The problem with our current understanding of net zero is that it doesn’t reflect the time periods involved.(我们目前对净零的理解存在的问题是，它没有反映所涉及的时间段)”可知，人们在试图理解净零时存在的问题是他们忽视了相关的时间段。故选A。 【15题详解】 词句猜测题。根据最后一段中“It means that emissions from fossil fuels must be balanced by carbon that is permanently sequestered in geological reserves, whether it be through carbon capture and storage or direct air capture and storage.(这意味着化石燃料的排放必须通过永久_____在地质储备中的碳来平衡，无论是通过碳捕获和储存还是直接空气捕获和储存)”可知，碳捕获和储存或直接空气捕获和储存都是为了将碳储存起来，因此可以推断出“sequestered”在此处的意思是“储存”。故选C。 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。 Do you struggle to focus in a world full of digital distractions? You start a task, but within minutes, your phone steals your attention. This is a common modern struggle. ____16____. Here’s how the experts say you can take it back. Use the 5-minute test We often interrupt ourselves out of habit when a random thought enters our mind. Acting on every thought strengthens the habit, signaling to the brain that distractions are important. ____17____. To break this cycle, instead of acting without thinking, tell yourself to wait five minutes before switching tasks. If after five minutes you are still struggling to focus, take an intentional break to reset. Set clear boundaries ____18____. Being aware of these signs is the first step toward regaining control of your time and energy. It’s also time to set boundaries when you’re busy, distracted, or overwhelmed. At these points, set clear limits — such as not using your phone after a certain time in the evening and setting a limit on your total duration of tech use. ____19____ The brain is an association machine. We naturally link locations with specific actions, like associating the bathroom with brushing our teeth. Create a “focus zone” by choosing a desk, library, or coffee shop where you only do focused work. Avoid using this space for distractions to reinforce the habit of concentration. Pay attention to self-care Eating well, making time for physical activity, and sticking to a good sleep routine all help boost our ability to pay attention for longer. ____20____ So reclaiming or improving your attention requires feeding all these needs. A. Choose a dedicated location for focus B. Pay attention to increased stress or mood changes C. Make the most of the brain’s association machine D. But the good news is that attention can be retrained E. This, in turn, leads to even more random thoughts surfacing F. The key is to recognize when your attention is starting to wander G. These habits help support cognitive function, directly impacting attention 【答案】16. D 17. E 18. B 19. A 20. G 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了在数字干扰下，可通过多种方法重新训练并提升自身注意力。 【16题详解】 上文“Do you struggle to focus in a world full of digital distractions? You start a task, but within minutes, your phone steals your attention. This is a common modern struggle.(在一个充满数字干扰的世界里，你是否很难集中注意力？你开始了一项任务，但几分钟内，你的手机就吸引了你的注意力。这是一场普遍的现代斗争)”提到在充满数字干扰的世界里，人们很难集中注意力，这是一个普遍的现代问题，D选项“但好消息是注意力是可以重新训练的”承接上文，指出虽然存在问题，但有解决办法，引出下文“Here’s how the experts say you can take it back.(以下是专家给出的重新集中注意力的方法)”，符合语境。 【17题详解】 上文“We often interrupt ourselves out of habit when a random thought enters our mind. Acting on every thought strengthens the habit, signaling to the brain that distractions are important. (当一个随机的想法进入我们的脑海时，我们经常出于习惯而打断自己。对每一个想法采取行动都会强化这种习惯，向大脑发出信号，表明干扰事项很重要)”说明出于习惯，脑海中闪过的随意想法时，我们会打断自己，采取行动强化这个习惯，这是恶性循环，E选项“这反过来又会导致更多随意的想法浮现”中This指代上文提及的做法，E选项承接上文，进一步说明这种行为带来的后果，符合语境。 【18题详解】 下文“Being aware of these signs is the first step toward regaining control of your time and energy. It’s also time to set boundaries when you’re busy, distracted, or overwhelmed.(意识到这些迹象是重新控制时间和精力的第一步。当你忙碌、分心或不堪重负时，也是时候设定界限了)”说明重新掌控时间和精力的第一步是意识到一些迹象，忙碌、分心或不知所措的时候是设定界限的时候，B选项“注意压力增加或情绪变化”中“increased stress or mood changes”与下文“these signs”相呼应，指出要注意这些迹象，符合语境。 【19题详解】 下文“The brain is an association machine. We naturally link locations with specific actions, like associating the bathroom with brushing our teeth. Create a “focus zone” by choosing a desk, library, or coffee shop where you only do focused work.(大脑是一个联想机器。我们自然会将地点与特定的行为联系起来，比如把浴室和刷牙联系起来。通过选择一张桌子、图书馆或咖啡馆来创建一个“专注区”，在那里你只做专注的工作)”说明本段介绍的方法是找到一个专门的区域，作为“专注区”，在那里专注做专注的工作，A选项“选择一个专门用于专注的地方”概括了下文内容，适合作为段落主旨句。 【20题详解】 上文“Eating well, making time for physical activity, and sticking to a good sleep routine all help boost our ability to pay attention for longer.(吃得好，腾出时间进行体育活动，坚持良好的睡眠习惯，都有助于提高我们更长时间的注意力)”说明有助于提高长时间集中注意力能力的习惯，G选项“这些习惯有助于支持认知功能，直接影响注意力”中These habits是关键词，承接上文，对上文提到的习惯进行总结，说明这些习惯对注意力的影响，符合语境。 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，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I never thought I could be a writer.

The Solar Trees Marketplace not only imitates (模仿) nature but respects it with solar panels to power the development, further _____45_____ (combine) historical relevance with modern innovation. 【答案】36. forms 37. led 38. as 39. inspiration 40. that##which 41. greener 42. honors 43. to gather 44. and 45. combining 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了上海闵行区在建项目“太阳能树市场”的设计理念、功能定位与创新细节。 【36题详解】 考查名词复数。句意：建筑学涵盖了所有形式，代表着文化、历史、功能与创新。form是可数名词，前面有all修饰，因此需要用复数形式forms。 【37题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：该项目由高田浩一建筑事务所主持，是一个多用途开发项目，是天安中国打造的上海天安漕宝路新片区住宅总体规划的门户。空格处需要非谓语动词作后置定语修饰The project，The project和动词lead之间是被动关系，因此用过去分词形式led。 【38题详解】 考查固定搭配。句意同上。固定搭配act as意为“充当、担任”。 【39题详解】 考查名词。句意：开发商希望这片过渡区域能体现自然，因此他们从森林中获得了灵感。空格前有不定冠词an，需要填入名词单数，inspire是动词，对应的名词inspiration表示“灵感，启发灵感的人（或事物）”。 【40题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：最终的成果是32棵人造建筑树构成的顶篷，这些建筑树可以提供自然光与遮荫。本句中先行词是32 human-made architectural trees，指物，关系词在定语从句中作主语，因此用关系代词that或者which。 【41题详解】 考查形容词比较级。句意：目标是以身作则，努力打造更宜居、更绿色的城市空间，契合中国2060年实现碳中和的承诺。此处和前面的more liveable并列，共同修饰urban spaces，因此用形容词green的比较级形式greener。 【42题详解】 考查主谓一致和时态。句意：该开发项目以市集设计致敬中国悠久的商贸历史。此处描述项目的客观设计理念，用一般现在时，主语The development是第三人称单数，因此谓语动词用honors。 【43题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：模块化市集摊位为市民提供了聚集的空间，目标是拉近人与人的距离，同时与历史连接。此处用不定式to gather作后置定语，修饰spaces，用来明确说明所提供的空间的具体用途：供市民聚集。 【44题详解】 考查连词。句意：我们希望让片区内的建筑更具人性化，推动社区更新。空格前后“让建筑人性化”和“推动社区更新”是顺承并列关系，因此用并列连词and连接。 【45题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：太阳能树市场不仅模仿自然，还通过太阳能板为该开发项目供电来尊重自然，进一步将历史意义与现代创新结合在一起。此处指太阳能树市场模仿自然和尊重自然带来的自然而然的结果，因此用现在分词combining作结果状语。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 46. 假定你是李华，外教Kate计划将你们班的英语作文汇编成册。请给Kate写封邮件，内容包括： (1)建议配图。 (2)自荐承担画图工作。 注意： (1)写作词数应为80个左右。 (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Kate, It’s a great idea to make a collection of our English essays. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Kate, It’s a great idea to make a collection of our English essays.

As a delivery rider, he had just finished a few smooth orders, his hands warm from the hot milk tea cups he’d been carrying, and his spirits fairly good. Stepping out of a milk tea shop, he found the spot where his second-hand electric bike had been parked now empty. In an instant, his heart sank, and a wave of hopelessness swept over him, turning his calm evening into a nightmare. That bike was far more than just a vehicle; it was his lifeline, the only way for him to earn daily income and cover his living expenses. Panic set in as he remembered the undelivered orders — especially a cup of hot milk tea for Ms. White, a regular customer. His hand trembled as he pressed the voice button, his words laced with sorrow and anxiety as he apologized repeatedly, offering to pay for the undelivered drink. To his great surprise, Ms. White did not respond with anger or complaint, but with gentle kindness. Ms. White told him not to worry and to take his time finding his bike. Her understanding words calmed him, but also deepened his sense of responsibility. “She is so kind. I cannot let her down,” he thought. For nearly two hours, he searched every nearby street, but there was no sign of his bike. As night grew darker and the wind bit harder, Jack clenched his fists and made a firm decision. He took out his poor savings, bought a bag of fresh apples and a new cup of hot milk tea, then set off on foot to Ms. White’s apartment, several kilometers away. The wind bit into his thin jacket, and his old shoes grew heavy with mud, but the thought of keeping his promise and maintaining his integrity kept him moving forward through the dimly lit urban landscape. 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。 Finally, breathless, Jack reached Ms. White’s doorstep and rang the bell. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Deeply moved by Jack’s action, Ms. White decided to share the story online that night. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Finally, breathless, Jack reached Ms. White’s doorstep and rang the bell. The door opened, revealing a woman whose expression shifted from curiosity to surprise and then to heartfelt sympathy as she saw the exhausted man before her. His clothes were dusty, but the gifts in his hands were held with care. “Ms. White, these are for you,” he grinned, offering the apples and milk tea. “Wishing you happiness and good health. I am truly sorry about the delay.” Tears welled up in Ms. White’s eyes. “Oh, Jack! You shouldn’t have walked such a long way just for this!” she said, her voice soft with emotion for his unshakable honesty, even amid his own misfortune! Deeply moved by Jack’s action, Ms. White decided to share the story online that night. She posted a video describing what happened, writing, “Even when caught in his own storm, he still reached out to warm others.” The post quickly went viral, receiving millions of likes and shares. Strangers were touched by the ordinary man’s extraordinary act. The wave of kindness soon reached his delivery company. They promptly responded, providing Jack with a brand-new e-bike and a cash reward to support his honest work. Even more wonderfully, with the help of numerous alert eyes online, his original bike was located and returned. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述外卖骑手Jack在11月的一个寒冷夜晚，赖以谋生的二手电动车被盗，陷入绝望；但他仍牢记未完成的订单，心怀愧疚；在得到顾客White女士谅解后，他步行数公里，自费送上苹果与热奶茶赔礼道歉，用行动坚守诚信与责任的暖心故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容 “终于，Jack气喘吁吁地赶到了White女士家门口，按响了门铃。” 可知，第一段可描写Jack见到 White女士后的场景，包括他疲惫的状态、送上礼物与真诚道歉，以及White女士的惊讶与感动。 ②由第二段首句内容 “White女士被Jack的举动深深打动，决定当晚在网上分享这个故事。” 可知，第二段可描写故事发布到网上后引发的热烈反响，以及Jack最终获得公司帮助、丢失的电动车被找回的圆满结局。 2.续写线索：电动车被盗→心怀愧疚致歉→顾客谅解→步行送赔礼→顾客深受感动→网络分享走红→获得公司奖励与帮助→丢失车辆找回 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①展示：reveal/show/display ②走红：go viral/spread widely/become popular ③定位，找到：locate/find/discover/track down 情绪类 ①由衷的同情：heartfelt sympathy/sincere concern/genuine pity ②疲惫不堪的：exhausted/tired out/worn-out/fatigued 【点睛】[高分句型1] The door opened, revealing a woman whose expression shifted from curiosity to surprise and then to heartfelt sympathy as she saw the exhausted man before her. (运用了现在分词revealing作状语，whose引导的定语从句和as引导的时间状语从句) [高分句型2] Even when caught in his own storm, he still reached out to warm others.(运用了when引导的时间状语从句的省略) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高三英语 （时间：120分钟 满分：150分） 注意事项： 1．本卷分第Ⅰ卷（选择题）和第Ⅱ卷（非选择题）两部分。答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2．回答第Ⅰ卷时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。写在本试卷上无效。 3．回答第Ⅱ卷时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 4．考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 注意，回答听力部分时，请先将答案标在试卷上。听力部分结束前，你将有两分钟的时间将你的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

B As a confused second-year student, I walked into what I thought was a literature class, only to find a crowded creative writing course. Every seat was taken, with more students standing against the wall. I had never seen a humanities class so full. A student whispered that the waitlist was closed. I was puzzled and curious — what made this class so popular? When the instructor walked in and introduced the course, I realized my mistake. This course was about writing stories, not analyzing them, and it wouldn’t count toward my major. Yet, I felt a surprising pull to stay — perhaps from the energetic atmosphere, or my curiosity about how stories were made. But with no spot available, joining seemed impossible. Then the instructor asked, “Who will volunteer to submit the first workshop story?” The room fell silent. To go first meant writing a complete story in a week — a challenging task. No one raised a hand. Seeing an opportunity, I gathered my courage and asked, “If I volunteer to go first, could I join the class? ” After a pause, the instructor nodded. I had talked my way in. Years later, while working on a novel, I met a literary agent who asked to see part of my manuscript. Conventional wisdom warned against contacting agents before completing a full draft. But I remembered what I had learned from that writing class: sometimes you must speak up before you feel ready. I sent her the first three chapters. A month later, she agreed to represent me based on those alone. Determination helped me finish what I started. But the best opportunities came from raising my hand at the right moment — saying yes before I felt completely ready. 4. What might be the reason for the author to stay in the class? A. The need for credits. B. The mistake she made. C. The lively spirit on site. D. The famous instructor. 5. How did the author manage to join the class? A. By volunteering to be an assistant. B. By asking the instructor a question. C. By writing a touching story draft. D. By being the first to hand in the work. 6. What did the author do when writing a novel? A. Applying the lesson learned from the class. B. Following the conventional wisdom. C. Sending the full draft to a famous press. D. Delaying contacting a literary agent. 7. What message does the author mainly convey in the text? A. Success depends more on luck than planning. B. Step forward before the time is ripe. C. Choosing the right course decides your career. D. Determination is the key to opportunities. C If you read just one book in 2025, you belong to an endangered species. According to a recent survey, fewer than half of Americans had read a single book in the past year. As the population of readers declines, educators have been worrying about this trend. Now, some try a new method: persuading people to read to save their community spirit. They argue that reflective reading helps citizens handle complexity and recover attention. The problem with these arguments is that they misunderstand why people become readers. Telling someone to love literature because it is good for society is like telling someone to believe in God because religion is good for social stability. It is a practical argument for something that should be a personal passion. Instead of describing reading as a public duty, it should be seen as a private pleasure — even a “vice” (恶习). Historically, when literature was considered dangerous or “bad”, moralists could not stop people from buying books. Now, when books are seen as virtuous and educational, those same moralists cannot persuade anyone to pick one up. By making reading a “must-do” task for self-improvement, we have taken away its primary attraction: the thrill of doing something for its own sake, rather than for its usefulness. In fact, becoming a reader means cultivating a relationship with the world that seems counterproductive. Reading is “unprofitable”; it does not teach transferable skills or provide networking opportunities. It is, in a sense, an anti-social activity. You turn your back on the real world to enter an imaginary one. Yet, it is precisely this “uselessness” that makes reading powerful. It offers an inner freedom that cannot be measured by social value. If we want to save reading, we should stop praising its benefits and start celebrating its delightful worthlessness. 8. What is the educators’ real purpose in using the new method? A. To strengthen social stability. B. To fulfill social duties. C. To handle complex problems. D. To stop the decline in reading. 9. What does the author think of the “practical argument”? A. It is quite convincing. B. It is socially responsible. C. It is practically ineffective. D. It is morally wrong. 10. What can we infer about reading from the last paragraph? A. It helps readers avoid social duties. B. It functions as a tool for networking. C. Its power comes from its lack of profit. D. Its value lies in creating a better world. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. The Benefit of Social Reading B. Reading: A Duty or a Vice? C. How to Build Inner Freedom D. The Decline of American Literature D Planting trees alone won’t stop global warming, and nature-based climate solutions are not a licence to keep emitting (排放). That’s the underlying message of a paper published last fall in Nature by a group of climate scientists. Increasingly, Weaver, one of the scientists says, fossil (化石) fuel companies and major polluters are buying carbon credits to offset (抵消) their greenhouse gas emissions — but this reflects a faulty understanding of what it will take to achieve net-zero emissions and stop runaway warming. Weaver discusses the backwards logic of offsets. Nature-based climate solutions and carbon offsets distract from what we know is the problem: the emission of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. They go up, and we need them to come down. The best thing to do is stop letting them go up in the first place. But we also have to get them down — permanently, not attached to a tree. Claiming “I’m not going to cut down that tree over there if you give me money” is not a carbon offset. It’s like me saying to you, “Please give me $10, 000; otherwise, I’m going to go to my car dealer and buy a big, gas-heavy SUV.” It’s just silly. The problem with our current understanding of net zero is that it doesn't reflect the time periods involved. When we burn fossil carbon, really what we’re doing is taking ancient forests that died and became coal over tens of millions of years — at high pressures deep under the Earth's surface — and we’re putting that up in the atmosphere in just a few decades and expecting a tree to grow and somehow be an offset. A tree lives for 100 years and then dies and gives the carbon back to the atmosphere. That’s why we refer to geological (地质的) net zero.

As a delivery rider, he had just finished a few smooth orders, his hands warm from the hot milk tea cups he’d been carrying, and his spirits fairly good. Stepping out of a milk tea shop, he found the spot where his second-hand electric bike had been parked now empty. In an instant, his heart sank, and a wave of hopelessness swept over him, turning his calm evening into a nightmare. That bike was far more than just a vehicle; it was his lifeline, the only way for him to earn daily income and cover his living expenses. Panic set in as he remembered the undelivered orders — especially a cup of hot milk tea for Ms. White, a regular customer. His hand trembled as he pressed the voice button, his words laced with sorrow and anxiety as he apologized repeatedly, offering to pay for the undelivered drink. To his great surprise, Ms. White did not respond with anger or complaint, but with gentle kindness. Ms. White told him not to worry and to take his time finding his bike. Her understanding words calmed him, but also deepened his sense of responsibility. “She is so kind. I cannot let her down,” he thought. For nearly two hours, he searched every nearby street, but there was no sign of his bike. As night grew darker and the wind bit harder, Jack clenched his fists and made a firm decision. He took out his poor savings, bought a bag of fresh apples and a new cup of hot milk tea, then set off on foot to Ms. White’s apartment, several kilometers away. The wind bit into his thin jacket, and his old shoes grew heavy with mud, but the thought of keeping his promise and maintaining his integrity kept him moving forward through the dimly lit urban landscape. 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。 Finally, breathless, Jack reached Ms. White’s doorstep and rang the bell. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Deeply moved by Jack’s action, Ms. White decided to share the story online that night. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
