Students will love exploring while also gaining invaluable experience by designing and conducting experiments. Sunscreen Experiment Kids often don’t enjoy being told they need sunscreen, so showing its power through demonstration can help them see its value. This science fair project uses simple white beads (珠子) that change color when exposed to UV rays (紫外线) so children can compare the effectiveness of different sunscreen products. Start this experiment by applying some of each sunscreen type on paper and placing both pieces of paper in direct sunlight for several hours. Sundial (日晷) Experiment Using a sundial to tell time is a fascinating science activity that helps students gain knowledge of shadows and the movement of sunlight across the sky. Through this hands-on experiment, students gain an opportunity to see how people in previous times knew time without clocks or watches. Start this experiment by asking students to identify an outdoor spot that receives sunlight all day, placing a flat board there, tracing the shadows onto it and noting where the shadows will fall at certain points of the day. Mineral Experiment Students learn to identify rocks and minerals through this simple experiment. They use a plate to test the hardness of various common minerals. They also observe how these minerals form crystals (晶体) and how they break apart differently from others. This lesson helps students understand the characteristics and uses of different minerals. Students can even form “companies” and compete to mine different types of rocks with specific features. 1. What is the main purpose of using beads in the sunscreen experiment? A. To compare the prices of sunscreen. B. To show the effectiveness of sunscreen. C. To analyze the impact of sunscreen on skin. D. To demonstrate chemical reactions in sunscreen. 2. How do students begin the sundial experiment? A. By building a sundial from beginning. B. By comparing different types of sundials. C. By measuring the length of their shadows. D. By identifying a sunny spot and using a flat board. 3. What does the mineral experiment allow students to do? A. Observe crystal formation. B. Learn geological history. C. Sell rocks they mine. D. Form companies. 【答案】1. B 2. D 3. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是应用文。文章介绍了几个适合学生做的科学实验。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Sunscreen Experiment下的“This science fair project uses simple white beads (珠子) that change color when exposed to UV rays (紫外线) so children can compare the effectiveness of different sunscreen products.(这个科学展览项目使用简单的白色珠子，当暴露在紫外线下时会改变颜色，这样孩子们就可以比较不同防晒产品的效果)”可知，在防晒实验中使用珠子的主要目的是来展示防晒霜的功效。故选B项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Sundial (日晷) Experiment下的“Start this experiment by asking students to identify an outdoor spot that receives sunlight all day, placing a flat board there, tracing the shadows onto it and noting where the shadows will fall at certain points of the day.(实验开始时，让学生们找出一个整天都能接受阳光的户外地点，在那里放一块平板，在上面画出阴影，并注意到阴影在一天中的特定时间会落在哪里)”可知，学生找一个阳光充足的地方，用一块平板来开始日晷实验。故选D项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Mineral Experiment下的“They also observe how these minerals form crystals (晶体) and how they break apart differently from others.(他们还观察这些矿物质是如何形成晶体的，以及它们是如何以不同的方式分裂的)”可知，Mineral Experiment允许学生观察晶体形成。故选A项。 B I have always enjoyed travelling. Having learned that my father was seriously ill, I immediately returned from London to care for him and spend precious time together. After he passed away, I felt an emptiness and longed to “be on the move” again. In early 2023, I visited the Galapagos Islands for a much-needed break. On Floreana Island, I came across Post Office Bay, where a barrel (桶) has served as an informal postbox since 1793. It was first used by sailors to send mail back home: they would leave letters there, and other sailors finding mail addressed to their home ports would take and deliver it when they returned. Today, tourists keep the tradition alive. The barrel was full of letters and postcards waiting for delivery. I brought home two postcards: one from a student to a teacher, and the other from a girl to her friend. The joy they brought to the recipients gave me great satisfaction and pleasure and planted an idea in my mind - to spend a year delivering such letters while keeping my remote job. In March 2024, I returned to the Galapagos Islands and selected 55 letters addressed to people across seven continents. Relying mainly on the addresses, I lost my way sometimes and asked locals for help. Most people were shocked at first, but their surprise soon turned into smiles when they understood. There were challenges as well as touching moments. In Norway, a woman mistook my selfie (自拍照) stick for a weapon and called the police. In Belize, a love letter reached a man who had broken up with his partner — and they reunited weeks later. My favourite delivery was in Mexico City — it was a letter from a daughter to her ill mother, thanking her for encouraging her to follow her dreams. The journey ended in March this year, but the desire to explore and connect continues to define my path forward. 4. What does the phrase “be on the move” refer to in the first paragraph? A. Begin a journey. B. Return to work. C. Take a break. D. Explore the unknown. 5. What is special about Post Office Bay? A. Sailors made it for contact. B. It serves tourists specifically. C. It was inspired by a barrel. D. Everyone can be the postman. 6. What motivated the author to start his year-long letter delivery? A. Encounters with the recipients. B. Flexibility of his remote job. C. Delight from his initial deliveries. D. Traditions of Post Office Bay. 7. Which can best describe the author’s delivery journey? A. Simple but heart-warming. B. Eventful but far-reaching. C. Dangerous but life-changing. D. Expensive but eye-opening. 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者在父亲去世后，通过旅行寻找慰藉，并在加拉帕戈斯群岛的邮局湾发现了传统邮筒，由此萌生了用一年时间投递信件的念头，最终完成了这一充满挑战与感动的旅程。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“I have always enjoyed travelling. Having learned that my father was seriously ill, I immediately returned from London to care for him and spend precious time together. After he passed away, I felt an emptiness and longed to “be on the move” again.(我一直喜欢旅行。得知父亲病重后，我立即从伦敦回来照顾他，共度宝贵时光。他去世后，我感到空虚，渴望再次be on the move)”可知，作者一直喜欢旅行，便为了照顾病重的父亲，放弃了旅行。父亲去世后，作者希望摆脱空虚感，渴望重新开始。因此，划线短语be on the move意为“开始旅程”。故选A项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“On Floreana Island, I came across Post Office Bay, where a barrel (桶) has served as an informal postbox since 1793. It was first used by sailors to send mail back home: they would leave letters there, and other sailors finding mail addressed to their home ports would take and deliver it when they returned. Today, tourists keep the tradition alive.(在弗洛雷纳岛上，我偶然发现了邮局湾，那里自1793年以来一直有一个桶作为非正式邮箱。它最初被水手们用来寄信回家：他们会把信留在那里，其他水手发现寄往他们家乡港口的邮件时，会在返回时取走并投递。如今，游客们让这一传统得以延续)”可知，邮局湾的特别之处在于它是一个非正式的邮递系统，任何人都可以成为邮递员，为他人传递信件。故选D项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The barrel was full of letters and postcards waiting for delivery. I brought home two postcards: one from a student to a teacher, and the other from a girl to her friend. The joy they brought to the recipients gave me great satisfaction and pleasure and planted an idea in my mind - to spend a year delivering such letters while keeping my remote job.(桶里装满了等待投递的信件和明信片。我带回家两张明信片：一张是学生写给老师的，另一张是一个女孩写给她朋友的。它们给收件人带来的快乐给了我极大的满足和愉悦，并在我的脑海中种下了一个念头——花一年时间投递这样的信件，同时继续我的远程工作)”可知，作者最初投递信件时获得的喜悦激发了他开始为期一年的信件投递。故选C项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“In March 2024, I returned to the Galpagos Islands and selected 55 letters addressed to people across seven continents. Relying mainly on the addresses, I lost my way sometimes and asked locals for help. Most people were shocked at first, but their surprise soon turned into smiles when they understood. There were challenges as well as touching moments. In Norway, a woman mistook my selfie (自拍照) stick for a weapon and called the police. In Belize, a love letter reached a man who had broken up with his partner — and they reunited weeks later. My favourite delivery was in Mexico City — it was a letter from a daughter to her ill mother, thanking her for encouraging her to follow her dreams.(2024年3月，我回到加拉帕戈斯群岛，挑选了55封寄给七大洲人们的信。主要依靠地址，我有时会迷路，并向当地人求助。大多数人一开始都很震惊，但当他们明白后，惊讶很快就变成了微笑。有挑战，也有感人的时刻。在挪威，一名女子把我的自拍杆误认为是武器，于是报警。在伯利兹，一封情书送到了一名与伴侣分手的男子手中——几周后他们重归于好。我最喜欢的投递是在墨西哥城——那是一封女儿写给她生病的母亲的信，感谢她鼓励自己追逐梦想)”以及最后一段“The journey ended in March this year, but the desire to explore and connect continues to define my path forward.(旅程于今年3月结束，但探索和联系的渴望继续定义着我前进的道路)”可知，这些经历表明，作者的旅程充满了各种事件（有迷路、有误会、有感人重逢），且其影响深远（改变了他人生活，也影响了作者自己）。故选B项。 C Tearing up, sweating, nose running and other bodily functions are all signs when you’re eating spicy foods. Yet, millions of people worldwide actively seek out this burning feeling. The explanation lies not in our sense of taste, but in our complex nervous system and psychology. The heat we perceive from chili peppers originates from capsaicin (辣椒素), a compound that acts as the plant’s chemical defense. It specifically targets TRPV1, a receptor (受体) present on nociceptors — the special nerve cells that detect potentially harmful factors, such as heat above 42℃. When activated, these cells trigger an instant alarm response, causing the body to react as if it’s been burned. This begs the question: why would we enjoy a feeling signaling potential danger? The enjoyment of spicy food is learned through adaptation of the neural system. Initially, the brain misinterprets the capsaicin-caused heat as a potential threat, triggering an alarm-like response. Through repeated exposure, however, it receives consistent feedback indicating no actual tissue damage occurs. The feeling is gradually reassessed as non-threatening and manageable, transforming the initial pain into a form of “benign masochism”. Much like the thrill of a roller coaster side, the perceived danger — now under our command — becomes an internal part of the pleasure. Individual tolerance varies. Genetics can influence how sensitive one’s TRPV1 receptors are to capsaicin. More importantly, people can gradually build up a tolerance, essentially training their bodies and brains to handle higher levels of spiciness. The receptors themselves become less responsive over time, and the brain’s predictive system becomes more accurate. 8. Why does eating chili peppers give people the burning feeling? A. Capsaicin briefly hurts taste buds. B. Chilli peppers bring potential danger. C. Capsaicin triggers the reaction of TRPV1. D. Chilli peppers raise the body’s temperature. 9. Which experience is most similar to enjoying spicy food? A. Listening to music. B. Smoking cigarettes. C. Exploring the wilderness. D. Watching a horror film. 10. What does building a high spice tolerance involve? A. Conscious efforts. B. Genetic adaptation. C. Blocking spiciness signals. D. Keeping receptors from responding. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Capsaicin’s Trick: A False Burning Alarm B. The Spice Lover’s Dilemma: Pleasure in Pain C. The Body’s Signal: Physical Reactions to Spice D. The Art of Endurance: Building Spice Tolerance 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文解释人们喜爱辣食的原因：辣椒素刺激神经产生灼烧感，经反复接触，大脑将其判定为可控刺激，转化为快感。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The heat we perceive from chili peppers originates from capsaicin (辣椒素), a compound that acts as the plant’s chemical defense. It specifically targets TRPV1, a receptor (受体) present on nociceptors—the special nerve cells that detect potentially harmful factors, such as heat above 42℃.(我们从辣椒中感受到的热感源自辣椒素，这是一种植物的化学防御物质。它专门作用于TRPV1受体，该受体存在于伤害感受器（能够感知潜在有害因素，如超过42℃的高温）上)”可知，吃辣椒会让人们产生灼烧感是因为辣椒素会触发TRPV1受体的反应。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“The feeling is gradually reassessed as non-threatening and manageable, transforming the initial pain into a form of “benign masochism”. Much like the thrill of a roller coaster side, the perceived danger — now under our command — becomes an internal part of the pleasure.(这种感觉逐渐被重新评估为安全且可控的，从而将最初的痛苦转化为一种“良性受虐狂”的体验。就像乘坐过山车时的刺激感一样，我们所感知到的危险——如今已处于我们的掌控之中——成为了愉悦的一部分)”可知，享受辣食的快感属于“良性受虐”——明知没有实际伤害，却因可控的“危险感”获得刺激，和看恐怖片的体验逻辑一致（恐惧但安全）。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Individual tolerance varies. Genetics can influence how sensitive one’s TRPV1 receptors are to capsaicin. More importantly, people can gradually build up a tolerance, essentially training their bodies and brains to handle higher levels of spiciness. The receptors themselves become less responsive over time, and the brain’s predictive system becomes more accurate.(个体的耐受性各不相同。基因会影响一个人的 TRPV1 受体对辣椒素的敏感程度。更重要的是，人们可以逐渐形成耐受性，即通过训练让身体和大脑能够更好地应对更高的辣度。随着时间的推移，这些受体本身的反应会减弱，而大脑的预测系统也会变得更加准确)”可知，增强对辛辣食物的耐受能力需要积极主动的努力。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Tearing up, sweating, nose running and other bodily functions are all signs when you’re eating spicy foods. Yet, millions of people worldwide actively seek out this burning feeling. The explanation lies not in our sense of taste, but in our complex nervous system and psychology.(吃辛辣食物时，会出现流泪、出汗、流鼻涕等生理反应。然而，全球数以百万计的人却热衷于这种令人不适的感觉。其原因并非在于味觉，而是源于我们复杂的神经系统和心理状态)”结合本文解释人们喜爱辣食的原因：辣椒素刺激神经产生灼烧感，经反复接触，大脑将其判定为可控刺激，转化为快感，还介绍了耐辣方法与解辣妙招。可知，B选项“辣味爱好者面临的困境：在痛苦中寻求愉悦”最符合文章标题。 D Second place is just the first loser. While the competitive spirit may be as natural as breathing air, it doesn’t always lead to human flourishing and can create misery. Fortunately, there is a formula to solve this problem: instead of always going for gold, shoot for the bronze. Though second place may be the first loser, third place can be the real winner regarding happiness and longevity. In a 1995 study, scholars systematically coded the emotional reactions of silver and bronze medalists in the 1992 Summer Olympic Games. Using slow-motion footage captured both immediately after their events and later on the awards podium (领奖台), researchers found the bronze winners appeared consistently happier on average than the silver medalists. Over 80% of bronze medalists exhibited genuine smiles, a figure that was nearly double that observed among silver medalists. Moreover, every bronze medalist’s smile lasted longer than the average smile observed among the silver medalists. More recent research has looked at the life span of all three medalist categories. A 2018 study found that the athlete whose best performance was silver lived to 72. Gold medalists beat this by four years, living to 76. But first prize in longevity went to the bronze medalists, who lived to 78. The study had a handy explanation for this discrepancy: “Unsatisfactory competition outcomes may adversely affect health.” In other words, silver medalists see themselves as the first loser because they look up to the top step and compare themselves only with the gold medalists, whereas the bronze winners compare themselves favorably with all the others who never made it onto the podium at all. This theory shows the difference between upward and downward social comparison. The worldly happiness strategy of striving for gold every day is foolish. It tends to lower the intrinsic motivation, and thus enjoyment that people obtain from their activities. The principle at work here is trying to improve your own past performance and the only person to whom you will have to compare yourself is you. 12. What can be learned from the 1995 study? A. Both medalists’ emotions were unchanged from the events to the podium. B. Silver medalists smiled as frequently as bronze medalists. C. Bronze medalists’ smile lasted longer than every silver medalist’s. D. Bronze winners appeared happier than silver medalists. 13. What is the cause of the difference in medalists’ life span? A. The stress from downward social comparison. B. The effect of different types of social comparison. C. The motivation from upward social comparison. D. The failure to look up to the top after the competition. 14. What does the writer advise us to do to achieve happiness? A. Learn from the top performers. B. Strengthen our achievement motivation. C. Try to be the best in every field. D. Commit to our consistent personal growth. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. Social Comparison: A Double-Edged Sword for Athletes B. Coming in Third: The Advantages of Being “Good Enough” C. Coming in Third: The Unexpected Secret to Longevity D. Social Comparison: The Root of Misery in Human Competition 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】文章通过奥运奖牌研究，指出铜牌得主比银牌得主更幸福长寿，并建议人们放下争第一的执念，专注于自我成长。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Using slow-motion footage captured both immediately after their events and later on the awards podium (领奖台), researchers found the bronze winners appeared consistently happier on average than the silver medalists. (通过分别在比赛刚结束时以及之后颁奖台上拍摄的慢镜头，研究人员发现铜牌获得者平均来看始终显得比银牌获得者更开心。)”可知，该研究发现铜牌得主看起来比银牌得主更快乐。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“In other words, silver medalists see themselves as the first loser because they look up to the top step and compare themselves only with the gold medalists, whereas the bronze winners compare themselves favorably with all the others who never made it onto the podium at all. This theory shows the difference between upward and downward social comparison. (换句话说，银牌得主把自己视为第一失败者，因为他们仰望最高领奖台，只与金牌得主比较；而铜牌得主则会和所有根本没能站上领奖台的人进行更有利的自我比较。这一理论显示了向上社会比较与向下社会比较之间的差异。)”可知，这种寿命差异的原因在于不同社会比较类型的影响。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The principle at work here is trying to improve your own past performance and the only person to whom you will have to compare yourself is you. (这里适用的原则是努力提升你过去的表现，而唯一需要与之比较的人，就是你自己。)”可知，作者建议我们致力于持续的个人成长。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“Fortunately, there is a formula to solve this problem: instead of always going for gold, shoot for the bronze. (幸运的是，这个问题有一个解决方法：与其总是追求金牌，不如争取铜牌。)”可知，文章基于奥运奖牌研究，指出获得铜牌的优势，建议采纳铜牌代表的人生智慧——满足于“足够好”，并专注于自我成长。因此，“获得第三名：‘足够好’的优势”最契合文章主旨，适合作为文章标题。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从选项中选出填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The number of cars on UK roads is growing. Finding places for people to park their vehicles is often difficult. Problems include old, narrow roads with no parking bays; the increasing size of cars such as SUVs (cars that are generally bigger and taller than a standard car); and families often having more than one vehicle. ____16____ Therefore, some people have turned to parking their cars on the pavement (人行道). ____17____ It is designed as a dedicated zone for pedestrians (行人), allowing individuals to travel to school, work, or shops. Is it ever OK to park on a pavement? Some think people need cars and they have to park somewhere. It would be great if everyone could travel by public transport but that isn’t always practical. ____18____ For most people, a monthly season ticket to a major city can cost hundreds of pounds. Others argue parking on the pavement is not fair. It means people might have to walk out into busy roads to get past. ____19____ For people with disabilities or blindness, this risk is even greater. In fact, parking on pavements is simply not acceptable as it prioritizes driver convenience over pedestrian safety. The long-term solution lies with urban designers. Increasing the supply of parking must be a top priority for them. ____20____ Additionally, improving reliable and affordable public transport would reduce our reliance on cars. Our streets need to be designed for everyone, not just for vehicles. A. This can probably cause accidents. B. Safety is the main concern for this. C. The issues have made finding somewhere to park a car tricky. D. They should make proper schedules to limit pavement parking. E. For example, they must invest in building more multi-storey car parks. F. The primary function of a pavement is to provide a safe path for people. G. Lots of places aren’t served by public transport and fares can be quite expensive. 【答案】16. C 17. F 18. G 19. A 20. E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要探讨英国停车难问题及人行道停车现象，分析利弊并提出改善停车与公交系统的解决方案。 【16题详解】 上文“The number of cars on UK roads is growing. Finding places for people to park their vehicles is often difficult. Problems include old, narrow roads with no parking bays; the increasing size of cars such as SUVs (cars that are generally bigger and taller than a standard car); and families often having more than one vehicle. (英国道路上的汽车数量正在增加。为人们寻找停车的地方往往很困难。问题包括没有停车位的老旧狭窄道路、运动型多用途汽车这类体型越来越大的车辆，以及很多家庭拥有不止一辆车。)”说明英国存在多种停车难题。空处需要承接上文，引出“人行道停车”的结果。C项“The issues have made finding somewhere to park a car tricky. (这些问题使得找地方停车变得很棘手。)”中的“The issues”与上文提到的停车难题相呼应，且句义能自然引出下文人们在人行道停车的行为，空处和前文为顺接关系。故选C。 【17题详解】 下文“It is designed as a dedicated zone for pedestrians (行人), allowing individuals to travel to school, work, or shops. (它被设计成行人的专用区域，方便人们上学、上班或购物。)”中的“It”指代前文内容，且描述的是某一场所的功能。F项“The primary function of a pavement is to provide a safe path for people. (人行道的主要功能是为人们提供一条安全的通道。)”直接点明人行道的功能，与下文对人行道用途的描述相契合，空处和后文为解释说明关系。故选F。 【18题详解】 上文“It would be great if everyone could travel by public transport but that isn’t always practical. (如果每个人都能乘坐公共交通工具出行当然很好，但这并不总是可行的。)”提出公共交通出行不切实际的观点。下文“For most people, a monthly season ticket to a major city can cost hundreds of pounds. (对大多数人来说，去大城市的月票可能要花几百英镑。)”提到公共交通费用高昂。G项“Lots of places aren’t served by public transport and fares can be quite expensive. (很多地方没有公共交通服务，而且车费相当昂贵。)”既解释了公共交通不切实际的原因，又与下文的费用内容相呼应，空处和前文为因果关系，和后文为并列关系。故选G。 【19题详解】 上文“It means people might have to walk out into busy roads to get past. (这意味着人们可能不得不走到繁忙的马路上才能通过。)”说明人行道停车会迫使行人走入车流。下文“For people with disabilities or blindness, this risk is even greater. (对于残疾人或盲人来说，这种风险更大。)”中的“this risk”指代前文提到的危险情况。A项“This can probably cause accidents. (这很可能会导致事故。)”承接上文行人走入车流的情况，点明该行为存在的风险，且与下文的 “risk”相呼应，空处和前文为因果关系，和后文为递进关系。故选A。 【20题详解】 上文“Increasing the supply of parking must be a top priority for them. (增加停车位供应必须是他们的首要任务。)”中的“them”指代前文的“urban designers (城市规划者)”，提出要增加停车位的观点。E项“For example, they must invest in building more multi-storey car parks. (例如，他们必须投资建设更多的多层停车场。)”中的“they”与“urban designers”对应，且用举例的方式说明增加停车位的具体措施，空处和前文为举例论证关系。故选E。 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。 “Would you say you are more of a scientist or an artist?” I always ____21____ this question, particularly after I told my scientific peers (同行) that I’m ____22____ writing poetry.

One day, I headed to the downtown for an interview. I sat down in the streetcar, and there against the seat was a beautiful silk umbrella with a silver handle decorated with gold scrolls, among which there was a name carved. On impulse (冲动) I determined to find the owner myself. I got off the streetcar in the heavy rain and thankfully opened the umbrella to protect myself. Then I searched a telephone book for the name, I found it immediately and called it, waiting patiently, and then a lady answered. “Yes,” she said in surprise, with extreme excitement. “It was my umbrella which had been stolen a year ago.” So appealing was her pleasure that I forgot I was looking for a job and went directly to her small house. She took the umbrella, with teary eyes, explaining with choking voice that the umbrella was given by her parents, now dead. Her happiness at retrieving (找回) this special possession was such that to have accepted her reward would have spoiled something, so I refused her offer and left. The following months were hard. I can only obtain temporary employment, for a small salary. What was worse, I had just lost my last job before Christmas, with only fifteen dollars left. Unless a miracle happened, I would be homeless in January, foodless and jobless. I had prayed steadily for weeks, and there had been no answer but this coldness and darkness. The air was full of Christmas merriment, with the bells ringing and children shouting in the bitter dusk of the evening. But there should be no Christmas for me, I knew, no gifts, no remembrance whatsoever. Thinking of this, I couldn’t control my tears on my way home, but I managed a smile so I could greet my little daughter. She opened the door for me and threw herself in my arms, screaming joyously and demanding desirably for her Christmas gift. There I stood, frozen, overwhelmed by misery. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Suddenly, the doorbell rang and Peggy rushed to answer it, calling that it must be Santa Claus. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Suddenly, a note attached to one package caught my eyes. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Suddenly, the doorbell rang and Peggy rushed to answer it, calling that it must be Santa Claus. Then I heard a man talking heartily to her and went to the door. He was a delivery man, and his arms were full of parcels. “This is a mistake,” I said, but he read the name on the parcels and they were for me. When he had gone, I didn’t know what to do. Later, Peggy and I sat on the floor looking at each other. What a surprise! I looked for the name of the sender. Suddenly, a note attached to one package caught my eyes. I picked up the note, which read “Thanks for returning of the umbrella. Merry Christmas! “It was sent by the lady. Holding the note tightly, I was on the verge of tears, with a stream of warmth spreading through my body. On that cold Christmas, I forgot I had no money for the rent and only fifteen dollars in my pocket. We just sat in our small apartment unwrapping the gifts one by one in happiness. A sweet peace flooded me like a blessing which made me hopeful again. 【解析】 【导语】本文以作者这位单身母亲的经历为线索，讲述了作者生活拮据，在电车上捡到一把珍贵的丝绸伞并归还给失主。圣诞节前作者失业，身无分文，无法给女儿佩吉准备圣诞礼物，陷入绝望的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“突然，门铃响了，佩吉冲过去开门，喊着一定是圣诞老人来了。”可知，第一段可描写门铃响起，佩吉以为是圣诞老人，结果是快递员送来许多包裹，作者疑惑不解，查看寄件人信息的经过。 ② 由第二段首句内容“突然，一个附在包裹上的便条吸引了我的目光。”可知，第二段可描写作者发现包裹上的便条，得知是伞的主人送来的圣诞礼物，内心充满温暖，与女儿开心拆礼物，重燃希望的情景。 2. 续写线索：门铃响起——快递送包裹——查看寄件人——发现便条——知晓送礼人——感受温暖——重燃希望 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①归还：return/give back ②紧握：hold/grab/seize ③拆礼物：unwrap the gifts/take apart the presents 情绪类 ①惊喜：surprise/wonderment ②几乎要流泪了：be on the verge of tears/be close to tears 【点睛】[高分句型1] I picked up the note, which read “Thanks for returning of the umbrella.

Students will love exploring while also gaining invaluable experience by designing and conducting experiments. Sunscreen Experiment Kids often don’t enjoy being told they need sunscreen, so showing its power through demonstration can help them see its value. This science fair project uses simple white beads (珠子) that change color when exposed to UV rays (紫外线) so children can compare the effectiveness of different sunscreen products. Start this experiment by applying some of each sunscreen type on paper and placing both pieces of paper in direct sunlight for several hours. Sundial (日晷) Experiment Using a sundial to tell time is a fascinating science activity that helps students gain knowledge of shadows and the movement of sunlight across the sky. Through this hands-on experiment, students gain an opportunity to see how people in previous times knew time without clocks or watches. Start this experiment by asking students to identify an outdoor spot that receives sunlight all day, placing a flat board there, tracing the shadows onto it and noting where the shadows will fall at certain points of the day. Mineral Experiment Students learn to identify rocks and minerals through this simple experiment. They use a plate to test the hardness of various common minerals. They also observe how these minerals form crystals (晶体) and how they break apart differently from others. This lesson helps students understand the characteristics and uses of different minerals. Students can even form “companies” and compete to mine different types of rocks with specific features. 1. What is the main purpose of using beads in the sunscreen experiment? A. To compare the prices of sunscreen. B. To show the effectiveness of sunscreen. C. To analyze the impact of sunscreen on skin. D. To demonstrate chemical reactions in sunscreen. 2. How do students begin the sundial experiment? A. By building a sundial from beginning. B. By comparing different types of sundials. C. By measuring the length of their shadows. D. By identifying a sunny spot and using a flat board. 3. What does the mineral experiment allow students to do? A. Observe crystal formation. B. Learn geological history. C. Sell rocks they mine. D. Form companies. B I have always enjoyed travelling. Having learned that my father was seriously ill, I immediately returned from London to care for him and spend precious time together. After he passed away, I felt an emptiness and longed to “be on the move” again. In early 2023, I visited the Galapagos Islands for a much-needed break. On Floreana Island, I came across Post Office Bay, where a barrel (桶) has served as an informal postbox since 1793. It was first used by sailors to send mail back home: they would leave letters there, and other sailors finding mail addressed to their home ports would take and deliver it when they returned. Today, tourists keep the tradition alive. The barrel was full of letters and postcards waiting for delivery. I brought home two postcards: one from a student to a teacher, and the other from a girl to her friend. The joy they brought to the recipients gave me great satisfaction and pleasure and planted an idea in my mind - to spend a year delivering such letters while keeping my remote job. In March 2024, I returned to the Galapagos Islands and selected 55 letters addressed to people across seven continents. Relying mainly on the addresses, I lost my way sometimes and asked locals for help. Most people were shocked at first, but their surprise soon turned into smiles when they understood. There were challenges as well as touching moments. In Norway, a woman mistook my selfie (自拍照) stick for a weapon and called the police. In Belize, a love letter reached a man who had broken up with his partner — and they reunited weeks later. My favourite delivery was in Mexico City — it was a letter from a daughter to her ill mother, thanking her for encouraging her to follow her dreams. The journey ended in March this year, but the desire to explore and connect continues to define my path forward. 4. What does the phrase “be on the move” refer to in the first paragraph? A. Begin a journey. B. Return to work. C. Take a break. D. Explore the unknown. 5. What is special about Post Office Bay? A. Sailors made it for contact. B. It serves tourists specifically. C. It was inspired by a barrel. D. Everyone can be the postman. 6. What motivated the author to start his year-long letter delivery? A. Encounters with the recipients. B. Flexibility of his remote job. C. Delight from his initial deliveries. D. Traditions of Post Office Bay. 7. Which can best describe the author’s delivery journey? A. Simple but heart-warming. B. Eventful but far-reaching. C. Dangerous but life-changing. D. Expensive but eye-opening. C Tearing up, sweating, nose running and other bodily functions are all signs when you’re eating spicy foods. Yet, millions of people worldwide actively seek out this burning feeling. The explanation lies not in our sense of taste, but in our complex nervous system and psychology. The heat we perceive from chili peppers originates from capsaicin (辣椒素), a compound that acts as the plant’s chemical defense. It specifically targets TRPV1, a receptor (受体) present on nociceptors — the special nerve cells that detect potentially harmful factors, such as heat above 42℃. When activated, these cells trigger an instant alarm response, causing the body to react as if it’s been burned. This begs the question: why would we enjoy a feeling signaling potential danger? The enjoyment of spicy food is learned through adaptation of the neural system. Initially, the brain misinterprets the capsaicin-caused heat as a potential threat, triggering an alarm-like response. Through repeated exposure, however, it receives consistent feedback indicating no actual tissue damage occurs. The feeling is gradually reassessed as non-threatening and manageable, transforming the initial pain into a form of “benign masochism”. Much like the thrill of a roller coaster side, the perceived danger — now under our command — becomes an internal part of the pleasure. Individual tolerance varies. Genetics can influence how sensitive one’s TRPV1 receptors are to capsaicin. More importantly, people can gradually build up a tolerance, essentially training their bodies and brains to handle higher levels of spiciness. The receptors themselves become less responsive over time, and the brain’s predictive system becomes more accurate. 8. Why does eating chili peppers give people the burning feeling? A. Capsaicin briefly hurts taste buds. B. Chilli peppers bring potential danger. C. Capsaicin triggers the reaction of TRPV1. D. Chilli peppers raise the body’s temperature. 9. Which experience is most similar to enjoying spicy food? A. Listening to music. B. Smoking cigarettes. C. Exploring the wilderness. D. Watching a horror film. 10. What does building a high spice tolerance involve? A. Conscious efforts. B. Genetic adaptation. C. Blocking spiciness signals. D. Keeping receptors from responding. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Capsaicin’s Trick: A False Burning Alarm B. The Spice Lover’s Dilemma: Pleasure in Pain C. The Body’s Signal: Physical Reactions to Spice D. The Art of Endurance: Building Spice Tolerance D Second place is just the first loser. While the competitive spirit may be as natural as breathing air, it doesn’t always lead to human flourishing and can create misery. Fortunately, there is a formula to solve this problem: instead of always going for gold, shoot for the bronze. Though second place may be the first loser, third place can be the real winner regarding happiness and longevity. In a 1995 study, scholars systematically coded the emotional reactions of silver and bronze medalists in the 1992 Summer Olympic Games. Using slow-motion footage captured both immediately after their events and later on the awards podium (领奖台), researchers found the bronze winners appeared consistently happier on average than the silver medalists. Over 80% of bronze medalists exhibited genuine smiles, a figure that was nearly double that observed among silver medalists. Moreover, every bronze medalist’s smile lasted longer than the average smile observed among the silver medalists. More recent research has looked at the life span of all three medalist categories. A 2018 study found that the athlete whose best performance was silver lived to 72. Gold medalists beat this by four years, living to 76. But first prize in longevity went to the bronze medalists, who lived to 78. The study had a handy explanation for this discrepancy: “Unsatisfactory competition outcomes may adversely affect health.” In other words, silver medalists see themselves as the first loser because they look up to the top step and compare themselves only with the gold medalists, whereas the bronze winners compare themselves favorably with all the others who never made it onto the podium at all. This theory shows the difference between upward and downward social comparison. The worldly happiness strategy of striving for gold every day is foolish. It tends to lower the intrinsic motivation, and thus enjoyment that people obtain from their activities. The principle at work here is trying to improve your own past performance and the only person to whom you will have to compare yourself is you. 12. What can be learned from the 1995 study? A. Both medalists’ emotions were unchanged from the events to the podium. B. Silver medalists smiled as frequently as bronze medalists. C. Bronze medalists’ smile lasted longer than every silver medalist’s. D. Bronze winners appeared happier than silver medalists. 13. What is the cause of the difference in medalists’ life span? A. The stress from downward social comparison. B. The effect of different types of social comparison. C. The motivation from upward social comparison. D. The failure to look up to the top after the competition. 14. What does the writer advise us to do to achieve happiness? A. Learn from the top performers. B. Strengthen our achievement motivation. C. Try to be the best in every field. D. Commit to our consistent personal growth. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. Social Comparison: A Double-Edged Sword for Athletes B. Coming in Third: The Advantages of Being “Good Enough” C. Coming in Third: The Unexpected Secret to Longevity D. Social Comparison: The Root of Misery in Human Competition 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从选项中选出填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The number of cars on UK roads is growing. Finding places for people to park their vehicles is often difficult. Problems include old, narrow roads with no parking bays; the increasing size of cars such as SUVs (cars that are generally bigger and taller than a standard car); and families often having more than one vehicle. ____16____ Therefore, some people have turned to parking their cars on the pavement (人行道). ____17____ It is designed as a dedicated zone for pedestrians (行人), allowing individuals to travel to school, work, or shops. Is it ever OK to park on a pavement? Some think people need cars and they have to park somewhere. It would be great if everyone could travel by public transport but that isn’t always practical. ____18____ For most people, a monthly season ticket to a major city can cost hundreds of pounds.

In fact, parking on pavements is simply not acceptable as it prioritizes driver convenience over pedestrian safety. The long-term solution lies with urban designers. Increasing the supply of parking must be a top priority for them. ____20____ Additionally, improving reliable and affordable public transport would reduce our reliance on cars. Our streets need to be designed for everyone, not just for vehicles. A. This can probably cause accidents. B. Safety is the main concern for this. C. The issues have made finding somewhere to park a car tricky. D. They should make proper schedules to limit pavement parking. E. For example, they must invest in building more multi-storey car parks.

One day, I headed to the downtown for an interview. I sat down in the streetcar, and there against the seat was a beautiful silk umbrella with a silver handle decorated with gold scrolls, among which there was a name carved. On impulse (冲动) I determined to find the owner myself. I got off the streetcar in the heavy rain and thankfully opened the umbrella to protect myself. Then I searched a telephone book for the name, I found it immediately and called it, waiting patiently, and then a lady answered. “Yes,” she said in surprise, with extreme excitement. “It was my umbrella which had been stolen a year ago.” So appealing was her pleasure that I forgot I was looking for a job and went directly to her small house. She took the umbrella, with teary eyes, explaining with choking voice that the umbrella was given by her parents, now dead. Her happiness at retrieving (找回) this special possession was such that to have accepted her reward would have spoiled something, so I refused her offer and left. The following months were hard. I can only obtain temporary employment, for a small salary. What was worse, I had just lost my last job before Christmas, with only fifteen dollars left. Unless a miracle happened, I would be homeless in January, foodless and jobless. I had prayed steadily for weeks, and there had been no answer but this coldness and darkness. The air was full of Christmas merriment, with the bells ringing and children shouting in the bitter dusk of the evening. But there should be no Christmas for me, I knew, no gifts, no remembrance whatsoever. Thinking of this, I couldn’t control my tears on my way home, but I managed a smile so I could greet my little daughter. She opened the door for me and threw herself in my arms, screaming joyously and demanding desirably for her Christmas gift. There I stood, frozen, overwhelmed by misery. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Suddenly, the doorbell rang and Peggy rushed to answer it, calling that it must be Santa Claus. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Suddenly, a note attached to one package caught my eyes. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
