There are plenty of places around the world when it comes to colourful autumn scenery. Here are 4 for you to explore. The Cotswolds, England People who come to England searching for classic countryside scenes usually head to the Cotswolds. The rolling hills, narrow roads and historic villages are attractive. The orange, red and gold leaves add to the scenery (风景) and not surprisingly, the Cotswolds is most famous for its long-distance hiking paths. You can visit the historic university town of Oxford. Bavaria, Germany Bavaria often has Oktoberfest (啤酒节) in fall. Smaller towns might have their own Oktoberfest, but you can also see some of Europe’s most beautiful fall colours in Bavaria’s non-urban (非城市的) regions. There are several paths that run through the region’s forests. A couple of these paths pass near Neuschwanstein Castle, a beautiful structure that is the perfect backdrop for the sea of orange and red leaves. Pitlochry, Scotland The Scottish Highlands can be the perfect place to see fall leaves. Parts of the place are famous for their treeless landscapes, but the land around Pitlochry is covered by forests. Apart from gazing at the leaves, there are plenty of other activities in Pitlochry. You can see lots of animals. The salmon make their run upriver in the fall as well. Transylvania, Romania Tourists who visit Transylvania in fall will see plenty of colourful trees. Like other cities in Eastern Europe, parts of Transylvania’s capital are very urban. The city can serve as a base for exploring the area, but you can also see some picturesque leaves without travelling to the countryside. 1. What is Cotswold best-known for? A. Rolling hills. B. Narrow roads. C. Small villages. D. Hiking paths. 2. Where can you see animals according to the text? A. In the Cotswolds. B. In Bavaria. C. In Pitlochry. D. In Transylvania. 3. What do the four places have in common? A. They all have a long history. B. They all offer treeless scenery. C. They are places where you can enjoy beaches. D. They offer chances to enjoy colourful leaves. 【答案】1. D 2. C 3. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。这是一篇介绍秋季旅行目的地的文章。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The orange, red and gold leaves add to the scenery (风景) and not surprisingly, the Cotswolds is most famous for its long-distance hiking paths.(橙色、红色和金色的树叶增添了风景，毫不奇怪，科茨沃尔德以其长途徒步旅行路线而闻名)”可知，科茨沃尔德最著名的是它的长途徒步小径。故选D。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Apart from gazing at the leaves, there are plenty of other activities in Pitlochry. You can see lots of animals.(除了看树叶，在Pitlochry还有很多其他的活动。你可以看到很多动物)”可知，在皮特洛赫里可以看到动物。故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The orange, red and gold leaves add to the scenery (风景) and not surprisingly, the Cotswolds is most famous for its long-distance hiking paths.(橙色、红色和金色的树叶增添了风景，毫不奇怪，科茨沃尔德以其长途徒步旅行路线而闻名)”；第三段“A couple of these paths pass near Neuschwanstein Castle, a beautiful structure that is the perfect backdrop for the sea of orange and red leaves.(其中几条小路经过新天鹅堡附近，这座美丽的建筑是橙色和红色树叶海洋的完美背景)”；第四段“The Scottish Highlands can be the perfect place to see fall leaves.(苏格兰高地是观赏落叶的绝佳地点)”以及最后一段“Tourists who visit Transylvania in fall will see plenty of colourful trees.(秋天来特兰西瓦尼亚旅游的游客会看到许多五颜六色的树木)”可知，它们都提供欣赏多彩树叶的机会。故选D。 B As Ginni Bazlinton reached Antarctica, she found herself greeted by a group of little Gentoo penguins (企鹅) longing to say hello. These gentle, lovely gatekeepers welcomed her and kick-started what was to be a trip Ginni would never forget. Ever since her childhood, Ginni, now 71, has had a deep love for travel. Throughout her career (职业) as a professional dancer, she toured in the UK, but always longed to explore further. When she retired from dancing and her sons eventually flew the nest, she decided it was time to take the plunge. After taking a degree at Chichester University in Related Arts, Ginni began to travel the world, eventually getting work teaching English in Japan and Chile. And it was in Chile she discovered she could get last-minute cheap deals on ships going to Antarctica from the islands off Tierra del Fuego, the southernmost tip of the South American mainland. “I just decided I wanted to go,” she says. “I had no idea about what I’d find there and I wasn’t nervous, I just wanted to do it. And I wanted to do it alone as I always prefer it that way.” In March 2008, Ginni boarded a ship with 48 passengers she’d never met before, to begin the journey towards Antarctica. “From seeing the wildlife to witnessing sunrises, the whole experience was amazing. Antarctica left an impression on me that no other place has,” Ginni says. “I remember the first time I saw a humpback whale; it just rose out of the water like some prehistoric creature and I thought it was smiling at us. You could still hear the operatic sounds it was making underwater.” The realization that this is a precious land, to be respected by humans, was one of the biggest things that hit home to Ginni. 4. Which of the following best explains “take the plunge” underlined in paragraph 2? A. Try challenging things. B. Take a degree. C. Bring back lost memories. D. Stick to a promise. 5. What made Ginni decide on the trip to Antarctica? A. Lovely penguins. B. Beautiful scenery. C. A discount fare. D. A friend’s invitation. 6. What does Ginni think about Antarctica after the journey? A. It could be a home for her. B. It should be easily accessible. C. It should be well preserved. D. It needs to be fully introduced. 7. What is the text mainly about? A. A childhood dream. B. An unforgettable experience. C. Sailing around the world. D. Meeting animals in Antarctica. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了71岁的Ginni Bazlinton从小就对旅行有着深深的热爱，渴望探险，不再跳舞和孩子们成家立业之后，她开始周游世界，并在2008年开始了前往南极洲的旅程。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段第一句“After taking a degree at Chichester University in Related Arts, Ginni began to travel the world, eventually getting work teaching English in Japan and Chile.(在奇切斯特大学获得相关艺术学位后，Ginni开始周游世界，最终在日本和智利找到了教英语的工作。)”可知，此处是指做有挑战性的事情，所以take the plunge意为“尝试有挑战性的事情”。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“And it was in Chile she discovered she could get last-minute cheap deals on ships going to Antarctica from the islands off Tiera del Fuego. (正是在智利，她发现自己可以在最后一刻买到从火地岛附近岛屿前往南极洲的廉价船票)”可知，是折扣的票价让Ginni决定去南极洲旅行的。故选C。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“The realization that this is a precious land, to be respected by humans, was one of the biggest things that hit home to Ginni. (意识到这是一块宝贵的土地，应该受到人类的尊重，这是Ginni最深刻的感受之一)”可知，旅行结束后，Ginni认为南极洲应该得到很好的保护。故选C。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要讲述了Ginni Bazlinton去南极旅行的经历，再根据第一段“These gentle lovely gatekeepers welcomed her and kick-started what was to be a trip Ginni would never forget. (这些温柔可爱的看门人欢迎了她，并开始了一次Ginni永远不会忘记的旅行)”和倒数第二段Ginni Bazlinton对南极之旅的评价可知，文章主要介绍了Ginni Bazlinton的南极洲之旅让她非常难忘。由此可知，An unforgettable experience. (一次难忘的经历) 能够概括文章主旨。故选B。 【点睛】 C Nowadays, there are pet pampering (宠爱) packages at hotels, menus with dog-friendly roast dinners and animal-friendly charter flights. This is the “pawprint (爪印) economy” — and it’s booming. Pet travel isn’t just a trend, it’s something of a transformation. The benefits are real for both parties: strengthened bonds, shared experiences and opportunities to build skills and confidence. But there’s a growing gap between what the industry is offering and what people and pets need. Here’s where the disconnect emerges. While providers advertise “pawsecco” and pet spas, research has shown that people prioritize practical care over “extras”. Studies identify six key qualities that people are looking for: service design, activity support, safety, pet-friendly staff, transparent policies with fair fees, and lastly, amenities (便利设施). Crucially, green spaces drive pet travel planning, boosting wellbeing for both human and animal. After all, this is the real reason why people choose to travel with pets. Yet many people with pets say they don’t believe any accommodation is truly pet friendly, signalling a trust gap. Many properties advertise as “pet friendly” but place restrictions, surprise fees or go no further than simply allowing pets to stay. Part of the problem seems to be one-size-fits-all thinking. Research identifies three distinct groups of people travelling with dogs. There are those seeking basic, convenience-focused accommodation. High-quality experience seekers are willing to pay for luxury. And activity-loving travellers prioritize outdoor adventures. A chihuahua on a city break has different needs to a labrador on a hiking trip, yet many providers offer generic (通用的) packages that delight no one. The evidence from both researchers and industry is clear: people will pay more to travel with their pets. For tourism providers, the opportunities are significant. The travel industry faces a choice: continue offering superficial “pet-friendly” experiences or genuinely adapt and ease the stress for travellers and their pets. The evidence shows that pet-friendly facilities, support with activities, and attentive service outweigh add-ons. Delivering this means providing transparent online information so travellers can assess facilities and policies confidently, designing spaces that genuinely welcome pets, and training staff to deliver a knowledgeable service. 8. What is the first paragraph intended to do? A. Show the rise and advantages of pet travel. B. Compare traditional and modern pet care. C. Promote animal-friendly hotels and flights. D. List reasons why pets travel with owners. 9. What is the real reason for pet travel planning according to paragraph 2? A. Advertising extra services. B. Construction of green spaces. C. Enjoying extra services. D. Access to green spaces. 10. What is the disadvantage of one-size-fits-all thinking? A. It ignores pet safety rules. B. It causes environmental pollution. C. It fails to meet different needs. D. It promotes irresponsible pet ownership. 11. How can the travel industry offer genuine pet-friendly experiences according to the evidence? A. By reducing travel costs. B. By advertising for good pet trainers. C. By providing luxury facilities. D. By offering satisfactory service. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了宠物友好相关的爪印经济正蓬勃发展，但行业服务与养宠者需求存在脱节，且存在信任和一刀切的问题，旅游业需优化服务打造真正的宠物友好体验。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Nowadays, there are pet pampering (宠爱) packages at hotels, menus with dog-friendly roast dinners and animal-friendly charter flights. This is the “pawprint (爪印) economy” — and it’s booming. Pet travel isn’t just a trend, it’s something of a transformation. The benefits are real for both parties: strengthened bonds, shared experiences and opportunities to build skills and confidence.(如今，酒店里有宠物宠爱服务套餐，菜单上有适合狗狗享用的烤肉餐，还有对宠物友好的包机服务。这就是“爪印经济”——并且它正在蓬勃发展。宠物旅行不仅是一种潮流，更是一次重大的转变。这对双方都有实实在在的好处：加深彼此之间的感情、共享美好经历以及获得培养技能和增强自信的机会)”可知，第一段的目的是展示宠物旅行的兴起及其优势。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Crucially, green spaces drive pet travel planning, boosting wellbeing for both human and animal. After all, this is the real reason why people choose to travel with pets.(至关重要的是，绿色空间促进了宠物的出行规划，从而提升了人类和宠物的身心健康。毕竟，这就是人们选择带着宠物出行的真正原因)”可知，宠物旅行规划的真正原因是便于接触绿地。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Part of the problem seems to be one-size-fits-all thinking. Research identifies three distinct groups of people travelling with dogs. There are those seeking basic, convenience-focused accommodation. High-quality experience seekers are willing to pay for luxury. And activity-loving travellers prioritize outdoor adventures. A chihuahua on a city break has different needs to a labrador on a hiking trip, yet many providers offer generic (通用的) packages that delight no one.(问题的部分原因似乎在于“一刀切”的思维模式。研究发现，带着狗狗出行的人群可以分为三个不同的类别。有那些追求基本、注重便利的住宿需求的人；有那些追求高品质体验的人；还有那些热衷于户外活动的旅行者。在城市度假时，吉娃娃的需求与徒步旅行时的拉布拉多犬的需求是不同的，然而许多供应商提供的通用套餐却无法满足任何一方的需求)”可知，“一刀切”的思维方式无法满足不同的需求。故选C。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“The evidence from both researchers and industry is clear: people will pay more to travel with their pets. For tourism providers, the opportunities are significant. The travel industry faces a choice: continue offering superficial “pet-friendly” experiences or genuinely adapt and ease the stress for travellers and their pets. The evidence shows that pet-friendly facilities, support with activities, and attentive service outweigh add-ons. Delivering this means providing transparent online information so travellers can assess facilities and policies confidently, designing spaces that genuinely welcome pets, and training staff to deliver a knowledgeable service.(来自研究人员和业界的证据表明：人们愿意为带着宠物出行支付更高的费用。对于旅游服务提供商而言，这是一大机遇。旅游业面临着一个选择：是继续提供表面性的“宠物友好型”体验，还是切实做出调整，减轻游客及其宠物的压力。证据显示，宠物友好型设施、活动支持以及周到的服务比附加服务更为重要。要实现这一点，就需要提供透明的在线信息，以便游客能够放心地评估设施和政策；设计真正欢迎宠物的空间；并培训员工提供专业的服务)”可知，旅游业可以提供令人满意的服务。故选D。 D In the digital age, many people feel unable to focus on anything demanding, yet can spend hours scrolling on their phones. Neuroscience suggests this is not a sign of weak character but the result of how the brain’s reward system works. The brain is constantly doing a cost-benefit calculation: Which action will bring the greatest reward for the least effort? This process relies heavily on a chemical called dopamine. Contrary to popular belief, dopamine is not the “pleasure chemical” but the “wanting chemical”. It rises mainly in anticipation of a reward, pushing us to keep searching, clicking, and consuming. Modern apps, games and snacks are carefully designed to deliver quick, effortless rewards. When the brain receives too many of these “easy hits”, it adapts. Dopamine receptors are downregulated, meaning more stimulation is needed to achieve the same level of interest. Activities that once felt satisfying — reading, studying, exercising — begin to seem dull or even painful by comparison. Like a drug user developing tolerance, the constant seeker of instant satisfaction becomes increasingly unmotivated. The good news is that the brain is plastic; its circuits can be reshaped. One suggested method is a “dopamine detox (多巴胺戒断)”. This does not remove dopamine itself, but temporarily cuts down on the most intense, low-effort sources of stimulation, such as social media, online games and junk food. During this period, people are encouraged to replace them with slower, effortful activities: walking without a phone, cooking, writing by hand or doing focused work. At first, these activities feel boring, and withdrawal symptoms like restlessness or irritability (易怒) are common. However, as time passes, the brain recalibrates (重新校准). Dopamine receptors become more sensitive, and natural rewards — finishing a task, understanding a concept, completing a workout — start to feel enjoyable again. The balance shifts from seeking short-lived pleasure to building deeper satisfaction. Over time, choosing difficult but meaningful tasks can become easier than escaping into distraction. Each decision to concentrate rather than click strengthens brain regions responsible for self-control and weakens those driven by impulse (冲动). In this way, changing our everyday habits and environments may gradually turn discipline from a constant struggle into a more natural way of living. 12. Which of the following best describes dopamine in paragraph 2? A. It is released after receiving a guaranteed reward. B. It is a cost-benefit calculation that the brain is doing. C. It is the “wanting chemical” that motivates behaviors. D. It is the “pleasure chemical” in anticipation of a reward. 13. Why do “effortful activities” feel painful to instant satisfaction seekers? A. They give little dopamine for the brain. B. The brain expects high reward with low effort. C. The brain no longer feels any real satisfaction. D. Social media has broken the brain’s reward system. 14. What might be helpful for practicing a “dopamine detox”? A. Cooking or walking without a phone. B. Seeking short-lived pleasure actively. C. Escaping into distraction deliberately. D. Clicking and consuming in moderation. 15. What is the core purpose of a dopamine detox? A. To avoid all modern technology and social life. B. To remove dopamine production permanently. C. To increase the brain’s sensitivity to natural rewards. D. To force the brain to choose pleasure over satisfaction. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要从神经科学角度解释了人们沉迷手机而难以专注的原因，并介绍了“多巴胺戒断”这一重塑大脑奖励系统的方法。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Contrary to popular belief, dopamine is not the “pleasure chemical” but the “wanting chemical”. It rises mainly in anticipation of a reward, pushing us to keep searching, clicking, and consuming. (与普遍看法相反，多巴胺不是“快乐化学物质”，而是“渴望化学物质”。它主要在期待奖励时升高，促使我们不断搜索、点击和消费)”可知，多巴胺是驱动行为的“渴望化学物质”。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“When the brain receives too many of these “easy hits”, it adapts. Dopamine receptors are downregulated, meaning more stimulation is needed to achieve the same level of interest. Activities that once felt satisfying — reading, studying, exercising — begin to seem dull or even painful by comparison. (当大脑接收到太多这些“轻易的刺激”时，它会适应。多巴胺受体下调，意味着需要更多刺激才能达到同样的兴趣水平。曾经令人满足的活动——阅读、学习、锻炼——相比之下开始显得乏味甚至痛苦)”可知，追求即时满足的人觉得需要付出努力的活动痛苦，是因为大脑习惯了低努力高回报，对努力活动的回报预期失衡。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“One suggested method is a “dopamine detox (多巴胺戒断)”. This does not remove dopamine itself, but temporarily cuts down on the most intense, low-effort sources of stimulation, such as social media, online games and junk food. During this period, people are encouraged to replace them with slower, effortful activities: walking without a phone, cooking, writing by hand or doing focused work. (一种被建议的方法是“多巴胺戒断”。这并非去除多巴胺本身，而是暂时减少那些最强烈、最低努力的刺激来源，比如社交媒体、网络游戏和垃圾食品。在此期间，人们被鼓励用更缓慢、更费力的活动来替代它们：不带手机散步、做饭、手写或做需要专注的工作)”可知，做饭或不带手机散步有助于实践“多巴胺戒断”。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中“At first, these activities feel boring, and withdrawal symptoms like restlessness or irritability (易怒) are common. However, as time passes, the brain recalibrates (重新校准).Dopamine receptors become more sensitive, and natural rewards — finishing a task, understanding a concept, completing a workout — start to feel enjoyable again. The balance shifts from seeking short-lived pleasure to building deeper satisfaction. (起初，这些活动会让人感到无聊，而烦躁不安或易怒等戒断症状也很常见。然而，随着时间推移，大脑会重新校准。多巴胺受体变得更加敏感，自然奖励——完成一项任务、理解一个概念、完成一次锻炼——会重新开始让人感到愉悦。这种平衡从追求短暂的快感转向构建更深层的满足感)”可知，多巴胺戒断的核心目的是提高大脑对自然奖励的敏感性。 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。 One of the most common mistakes in communication is trying to do too much. ____16____ There’s no value in delivering any kind of communication, whether written, spoken, formal, or informal, if the message doesn’t come across clearly. Being clear and brief — while maintaining interest and including everything your listeners need to know — is a high-level communication skill. Here are some tips worth following in order to communicate more effectively. Keep your audience in mind. Your audience will naturally be more interested and engaged when you tailor your communications to their interests. ____17____ This will engage their desire to understand and interact with the information. Don’t use ten words when one will do. Even the most engaged and committed audience will eventually get bored. Keeping your message simple and clear will make it easier for people to understand. ____18____ However, they’re hearing it for the first time. Keep it simple. ____19____ If you’ve ever worked as an instructor, manager, trainer or coach, you’ll know that there are few better ways to learn new information than to teach it. Ask the audience to contribute their ideas or to take a role in explaining new concepts and policies to others. Allow them to lead discussions and meetings to develop their communication skills. Consider the best method to deliver your message. If the information you’re communicating isn’t urgent, consider sending an email. Written communication will give your audience more time to review it, think it over, and follow up with questions. ____20____ Building effective communication skills takes time, but the effects are worth the effort. A. Be patient. B. Get the audience involved. C. The best messages are often simple. D. Speak directly to what matters to them. E. You may be surprised by what your listeners offer. F. It will also give them a handy record to refer back to. G. As the speaker, you already know what you’re going to say. 【答案】16. C 17. D 18. G 19. B 20. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一些更有效地进行沟通的技巧。 【16题详解】 上文“One of the most common mistakes in communication is trying to do too much.(沟通中最常见的错误之一就是试图做得太多)”指出“做得太多”是沟通中易犯的错误，C选项“The best messages are often simple.(最好的信息往往是简单的)”承接上文，明确正确沟通方法，即不要“做得太多”，要避免复杂，追求简单，句中“simple”与上文“too much”形成对比。故选C项。 【17题详解】 上文“Your audience will naturally be more interested and engaged when you tailor your communications to their interests.(当你根据受众的兴趣来调整你的沟通内容时，他们自然会更感兴趣、更投入)”强调要迎合受众兴趣，D选项“Speak directly to what matters to them.(直接谈论对他们重要的事情)”进一步说明了具体做法，即直接针对受众关心的事情进行交流，与上文逻辑一致。故选D项。 【18题详解】 下文“However, they’re hearing it for the first time.(然而，他们是第一次听到这些)”与设空句之间是转折关系。G选项“As the speaker, you already know what you’re going to say.(作为演讲者，你已经知道你要说什么了)”与下文构成转折，演讲者自己熟悉内容，但听众是初次接触，同时，句中“what you’re going to say”与下文中指示代词“it”构成指代关系，上下文逻辑连贯。故选G项。 【19题详解】 下文“If you’ve ever worked as an instructor, manager, trainer or coach, you’ll know that there are few better ways to learn new information than to teach it. Ask the audience to contribute their ideas or to take a role in explaining new concepts and policies to others.(如果你曾经当过导师、经理、培训师或教练，你就会知道，没有比教别人更好的学习新信息的方法了。让听众贡献他们的想法，或者让他们扮演向他人解释新概念和政策的角色)”建议让受众参与其中，B选项“Get the audience involved.(让受众参与进来)”能概括这部分内容，适合作段首小标题。故选B项。 【20题详解】 上文“If the information you’re communicating isn’t urgent, consider sending an email. Written communication will give your audience more time to review it, think it over, and follow up with questions.(如果你传达的信息不紧急，考虑发电子邮件。书面沟通会给你的受众更多时间来复习、思考，并跟进提问)”说明了发邮件这种书面沟通的好处，F选项“It will also give them a handy record to refer back to.(它还会给他们提供一个方便查阅的记录)”进一步补充了发邮件的另一个好处，与上文逻辑紧密。故选F项。 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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Manuela Ribeiro has a healthy addiction.

As a shy and often unnoticed student, he felt like a lone wolf, struggling against the complexities of high school life. Ms. Lau, his Chinese teacher, was a light in his otherwise dark world. Her warm smile and gentle manner made her stand out in the sea of teachers. She was the only one who seemed to understand his reserved nature, always encouraging him to step out of his comfort zone. One day, after class, Ms. Lau approached Alex with a shine of excitement in her eyes. “Alex, I have an offer for you,” she said, her voice filled with enthusiasm. “I am organizing a cultural exchange program to China, and I believe it would be a great opportunity for you to explore a new world.” Alex’s heart skipped a beat. The prospect of traveling to a foreign country was both exciting and terrifying. He hesitated, unsure if he had the courage to go on such an adventure. But Ms. Lau’s firm belief in him gave him the push he needed to take a leap of faith. Under Ms. Lau’s guidance, Alex began preparing for the trip. He became deeply interested in Chinese culture and learned about its long history and traditions. Ms. Lau became his mentor (导师), teaching him not only the language but also invaluable life lessons. She taught him the importance of being confident and not giving up, reminding him that growth only happens outside one’s comfort zone. The day of departure soon arrived, and Alex found himself on a plane headed for China. He couldn’t help but feel amazed as he stepped off the plane and into a world so different from his own. The busy streets, bright colors, and unfamiliar sounds flooded his senses. Yet, Ms. Lau’s comforting presence by his side provided him with the strength to face the unknown. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 During their time in China, Alex wholeheartedly enjoyed the experience. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Back in his home country, Alex was a completely changed person. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 During their time in China, Alex wholeheartedly enjoyed the experience. He visited ancient temples, tasted delicious local food, and communicated with Chinese students with the help of Ms. Lau. He was deeply attracted by the profound Chinese culture and the warmth of the local people. When he struggled to speak Chinese, the Chinese students patiently helped him, which made him more confident. He even joined a traditional paper-cutting class, and his clumsy but sincere works won praise from everyone. Every day was filled with new discoveries and joys, and he gradually got rid of his shyness. Back in his home country, Alex was a completely changed person. He became active and outgoing, daring to raise his hand in class and make friends with his classmates. He often shared his experience in China with others, spreading Chinese culture. He also kept the lessons Ms. Lau taught him in mind, bravely challenging himself and stepping out of his comfort zone. It was this trip that made him realize that courage and openness can bring more possibilities to life. 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文以人物Alex的成长为线索展开，讲述了内向腼腆、不被关注的高中生Alex，在温柔鼓励他的语文老师Ms. Lau的帮助下，鼓起勇气参加中国文化交流项目，从最初的胆怯犹豫，到在China体验中逐渐自信，最终完成自我蜕变的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“在他们在中国的那段时间里，Alex完全享受了这段经历。”可知，第一段可描写Alex在中国的具体经历，包括参观的景点、参与的活动、与当地人的互动，以及这些经历如何让他逐渐摆脱腼腆，变得自信。 ②由第二段首句内容“回到自己的祖国后，Alex完全变了一个人。” 可知，第二段可描写Alex回国后的变化，包括在学校的表现、与人相处的态度，以及他对这次中国之行和Ms. Lau帮助的感悟。 2.续写线索：中国体验（参观+交流+参与活动）—— 逐渐自信 —— 回国之后的变化（主动开朗）—— 分享感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①交流：communicate with/interact with/exchange with ②帮助：help/assist/support ③摆脱/克服：get rid of/ get over ④铭记：keep in mind/remember/held in mind ⑤意识到：realize/(be) aware of/perceive 情绪类 ①深深地/极大地：deeply/greatly/profoundly/entirely/thoroughly ②笨拙生疏的：clumsy/awkward/unskilled/inexperienced ③真挚的：sincere/genuine/earnest/heartfelt 【点睛】【高分句型1】When he struggled to speak Chinese, the Chinese students patiently helped him, which made him more confident.（when引导时间状语从句，which引导非限制性定语从句） 【高分句型2】It was this trip that made him realize that courage and openness can bring more possibilities to life.（使用了强调句型“It was...that...”；第二个that引导宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 荆州中学2025级高二年级9月收心考 英语试题 （试卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟） 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号等填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用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。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3. 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） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上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段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。 1.

There are plenty of places around the world when it comes to colourful autumn scenery. Here are 4 for you to explore. The Cotswolds, England People who come to England searching for classic countryside scenes usually head to the Cotswolds. The rolling hills, narrow roads and historic villages are attractive. The orange, red and gold leaves add to the scenery (风景) and not surprisingly, the Cotswolds is most famous for its long-distance hiking paths. You can visit the historic university town of Oxford. Bavaria, Germany Bavaria often has Oktoberfest (啤酒节) in fall. Smaller towns might have their own Oktoberfest, but you can also see some of Europe’s most beautiful fall colours in Bavaria’s non-urban (非城市的) regions. There are several paths that run through the region’s forests. A couple of these paths pass near Neuschwanstein Castle, a beautiful structure that is the perfect backdrop for the sea of orange and red leaves. Pitlochry, Scotland The Scottish Highlands can be the perfect place to see fall leaves. Parts of the place are famous for their treeless landscapes, but the land around Pitlochry is covered by forests. Apart from gazing at the leaves, there are plenty of other activities in Pitlochry. You can see lots of animals. The salmon make their run upriver in the fall as well. Transylvania, Romania Tourists who visit Transylvania in fall will see plenty of colourful trees. Like other cities in Eastern Europe, parts of Transylvania’s capital are very urban. The city can serve as a base for exploring the area, but you can also see some picturesque leaves without travelling to the countryside. 1. What is Cotswold best-known for? A. Rolling hills. B. Narrow roads. C. Small villages. D. Hiking paths. 2. Where can you see animals according to the text? A. In the Cotswolds. B. In Bavaria. C. In Pitlochry. D. In Transylvania. 3.

They offer chances to enjoy colourful leaves. B As Ginni Bazlinton reached Antarctica, she found herself greeted by a group of little Gentoo penguins (企鹅) longing to say hello. These gentle, lovely gatekeepers welcomed her and kick-started what was to be a trip Ginni would never forget. Ever since her childhood, Ginni, now 71, has had a deep love for travel. Throughout her career (职业) as a professional dancer, she toured in the UK, but always longed to explore further. When she retired from dancing and her sons eventually flew the nest, she decided it was time to take the plunge. After taking a degree at Chichester University in Related Arts, Ginni began to travel the world, eventually getting work teaching English in Japan and Chile. And it was in Chile she discovered she could get last-minute cheap deals on ships going to Antarctica from the islands off Tierra del Fuego, the southernmost tip of the South American mainland. “I just decided I wanted to go,” she says. “I had no idea about what I’d find there and I wasn’t nervous, I just wanted to do it. And I wanted to do it alone as I always prefer it that way.” In March 2008, Ginni boarded a ship with 48 passengers she’d never met before, to begin the journey towards Antarctica. “From seeing the wildlife to witnessing sunrises, the whole experience was amazing. Antarctica left an impression on me that no other place has,” Ginni says. “I remember the first time I saw a humpback whale; it just rose out of the water like some prehistoric creature and I thought it was smiling at us. You could still hear the operatic sounds it was making underwater.” The realization that this is a precious land, to be respected by humans, was one of the biggest things that hit home to Ginni. 4. Which of the following best explains “take the plunge” underlined in paragraph 2? A. Try challenging things. B. Take a degree. C. Bring back lost memories. D. Stick to a promise. 5. What made Ginni decide on the trip to Antarctica? A. Lovely penguins. B. Beautiful scenery. C. A discount fare. D. A friend’s invitation. 6. What does Ginni think about Antarctica after the journey? A. It could be a home for her. B. It should be easily accessible. C. It should be well preserved. D. It needs to be fully introduced. 7. What is the text mainly about? A. A childhood dream. B. An unforgettable experience. C. Sailing around the world. D. Meeting animals in Antarctica. C Nowadays, there are pet pampering (宠爱) packages at hotels, menus with dog-friendly roast dinners and animal-friendly charter flights. This is the “pawprint (爪印) economy” — and it’s booming. Pet travel isn’t just a trend, it’s something of a transformation. The benefits are real for both parties: strengthened bonds, shared experiences and opportunities to build skills and confidence. But there’s a growing gap between what the industry is offering and what people and pets need. Here’s where the disconnect emerges. While providers advertise “pawsecco” and pet spas, research has shown that people prioritize practical care over “extras”. Studies identify six key qualities that people are looking for: service design, activity support, safety, pet-friendly staff, transparent policies with fair fees, and lastly, amenities (便利设施). Crucially, green spaces drive pet travel planning, boosting wellbeing for both human and animal. After all, this is the real reason why people choose to travel with pets. Yet many people with pets say they don’t believe any accommodation is truly pet friendly, signalling a trust gap. Many properties advertise as “pet friendly” but place restrictions, surprise fees or go no further than simply allowing pets to stay. Part of the problem seems to be one-size-fits-all thinking. Research identifies three distinct groups of people travelling with dogs. There are those seeking basic, convenience-focused accommodation. High-quality experience seekers are willing to pay for luxury. And activity-loving travellers prioritize outdoor adventures. A chihuahua on a city break has different needs to a labrador on a hiking trip, yet many providers offer generic (通用的) packages that delight no one. The evidence from both researchers and industry is clear: people will pay more to travel with their pets. For tourism providers, the opportunities are significant. The travel industry faces a choice: continue offering superficial “pet-friendly” experiences or genuinely adapt and ease the stress for travellers and their pets. The evidence shows that pet-friendly facilities, support with activities, and attentive service outweigh add-ons. Delivering this means providing transparent online information so travellers can assess facilities and policies confidently, designing spaces that genuinely welcome pets, and training staff to deliver a knowledgeable service. 8. What is the first paragraph intended to do? A. Show the rise and advantages of pet travel. B. Compare traditional and modern pet care. C. Promote animal-friendly hotels and flights. D. List reasons why pets travel with owners. 9. What is the real reason for pet travel planning according to paragraph 2? A. Advertising extra services. B. Construction of green spaces. C. Enjoying extra services. D. Access to green spaces. 10. What is the disadvantage of one-size-fits-all thinking? A. It ignores pet safety rules. B. It causes environmental pollution. C. It fails to meet different needs. D. It promotes irresponsible pet ownership. 11. How can the travel industry offer genuine pet-friendly experiences according to the evidence? A. By reducing travel costs. B. By advertising for good pet trainers. C. By providing luxury facilities. D. By offering satisfactory service. D In the digital age, many people feel unable to focus on anything demanding, yet can spend hours scrolling on their phones. Neuroscience suggests this is not a sign of weak character but the result of how the brain’s reward system works. The brain is constantly doing a cost-benefit calculation: Which action will bring the greatest reward for the least effort? This process relies heavily on a chemical called dopamine. Contrary to popular belief, dopamine is not the “pleasure chemical” but the “wanting chemical”. It rises mainly in anticipation of a reward, pushing us to keep searching, clicking, and consuming. Modern apps, games and snacks are carefully designed to deliver quick, effortless rewards. When the brain receives too many of these “easy hits”, it adapts. Dopamine receptors are downregulated, meaning more stimulation is needed to achieve the same level of interest. Activities that once felt satisfying — reading, studying, exercising — begin to seem dull or even painful by comparison. Like a drug user developing tolerance, the constant seeker of instant satisfaction becomes increasingly unmotivated. The good news is that the brain is plastic; its circuits can be reshaped. One suggested method is a “dopamine detox (多巴胺戒断)”. This does not remove dopamine itself, but temporarily cuts down on the most intense, low-effort sources of stimulation, such as social media, online games and junk food. During this period, people are encouraged to replace them with slower, effortful activities: walking without a phone, cooking, writing by hand or doing focused work. At first, these activities feel boring, and withdrawal symptoms like restlessness or irritability (易怒) are common. However, as time passes, the brain recalibrates (重新校准). Dopamine receptors become more sensitive, and natural rewards — finishing a task, understanding a concept, completing a workout — start to feel enjoyable again. The balance shifts from seeking short-lived pleasure to building deeper satisfaction. Over time, choosing difficult but meaningful tasks can become easier than escaping into distraction. Each decision to concentrate rather than click strengthens brain regions responsible for self-control and weakens those driven by impulse (冲动). In this way, changing our everyday habits and environments may gradually turn discipline from a constant struggle into a more natural way of living. 12. Which of the following best describes dopamine in paragraph 2? A. It is released after receiving a guaranteed reward. B. It is a cost-benefit calculation that the brain is doing. C. It is the “wanting chemical” that motivates behaviors. D. It is the “pleasure chemical” in anticipation of a reward. 13. Why do “effortful activities” feel painful to instant satisfaction seekers? A. They give little dopamine for the brain. B. The brain expects high reward with low effort. C. The brain no longer feels any real satisfaction. D. Social media has broken the brain’s reward system. 14. What might be helpful for practicing a “dopamine detox”? A. Cooking or walking without a phone. B. Seeking short-lived pleasure actively. C. Escaping into distraction deliberately. D. Clicking and consuming in moderation. 15. What is the core purpose of a dopamine detox? A. To avoid all modern technology and social life. B. To remove dopamine production permanently. C. To increase the brain’s sensitivity to natural rewards. D. To force the brain to choose pleasure over satisfaction. 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。 One of the most common mistakes in communication is trying to do too much. ____16____ There’s no value in delivering any kind of communication, whether written, spoken, formal, or informal, if the message doesn’t come across clearly. Being clear and brief — while maintaining interest and including everything your listeners need to know — is a high-level communication skill. Here are some tips worth following in order to communicate more effectively. Keep your audience in mind. Your audience will naturally be more interested and engaged when you tailor your communications to their interests. ____17____ This will engage their desire to understand and interact with the information. Don’t use ten words when one will do. Even the most engaged and committed audience will eventually get bored. Keeping your message simple and clear will make it easier for people to understand. ____18____ However, they’re hearing it for the first time. Keep it simple. ____19____ If you’ve ever worked as an instructor, manager, trainer or coach, you’ll know that there are few better ways to learn new information than to teach it. Ask the audience to contribute their ideas or to take a role in explaining new concepts and policies to others. Allow them to lead discussions and meetings to develop their communication skills. Consider the best method to deliver your message. If the information you’re communicating isn’t urgent, consider sending an email. Written communication will give your audience more time to review it, think it over, and follow up with questions. ____20____ Building effective communication skills takes time, but the effects are worth the effort. A. Be patient. B. Get the audience involved. C. The best messages are often simple. D. Speak directly to what matters to them. E. You may be surprised by what your listeners offer. F. It will also give them a handy record to refer back to. G. As the speaker, you already know what you’re going to say. 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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Manuela Ribeiro has a healthy addiction. It’s ____21____.

As a shy and often unnoticed student, he felt like a lone wolf, struggling against the complexities of high school life. Ms. Lau, his Chinese teacher, was a light in his otherwise dark world. Her warm smile and gentle manner made her stand out in the sea of teachers. She was the only one who seemed to understand his reserved nature, always encouraging him to step out of his comfort zone. One day, after class, Ms. Lau approached Alex with a shine of excitement in her eyes. “Alex, I have an offer for you,” she said, her voice filled with enthusiasm. “I am organizing a cultural exchange program to China, and I believe it would be a great opportunity for you to explore a new world.” Alex’s heart skipped a beat. The prospect of traveling to a foreign country was both exciting and terrifying. He hesitated, unsure if he had the courage to go on such an adventure. But Ms. Lau’s firm belief in him gave him the push he needed to take a leap of faith. Under Ms. Lau’s guidance, Alex began preparing for the trip. He became deeply interested in Chinese culture and learned about its long history and traditions. Ms. Lau became his mentor (导师), teaching him not only the language but also invaluable life lessons. She taught him the importance of being confident and not giving up, reminding him that growth only happens outside one’s comfort zone. The day of departure soon arrived, and Alex found himself on a plane headed for China. He couldn’t help but feel amazed as he stepped off the plane and into a world so different from his own. The busy streets, bright colors, and unfamiliar sounds flooded his senses. Yet, Ms. Lau’s comforting presence by his side provided him with the strength to face the unknown. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 During their time in China, Alex wholeheartedly enjoyed the experience. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Back in his home country, Alex was a completely changed person. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
