He has sold over ninety-seven million copies worldwide, with over sixty-five million of them within the United States alone. He lives with his family in North Carolina. He is also considered to be very generous with his money. In twenty eleven, he created the Nicholas Sparks Foundation to make more opportunities available to children from poor families. His foundation, which he started with his wife, creates scholarships for children from low-income families in rural communities. Sparks has had a very successful career, and he owes that to education. “The education I received prepared me for the world I would be facing in the future,” he said. Even though he is worth an estimated seventy-five million dollars or so, Sparks seems to live the values he presents in his books. 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Fight climate change while traveling Whether you’re commuting or vacationing, travel can cause a lot of pollution, for most vehicles are powered by burning gas. As the pie chart illustrates, the transportation sector accounted for a major share of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions in 2022. Tourism also contributes to climate pollution, with transportation making up the majority of tourism-related emissions. But that doesn’t mean you have to stop traveling for fun altogether. You can make a difference by focusing on greener transportation options and fuel efficiency. ·Use Greener Transportation Air travel emissions can be reduced by choosing direct flights or taking the train or a bus instead of flying. Even if a bus is gas-powered, it’s better for the climate than a car because it can transport many people with a single engine. If a car is the best option, consider replacing your traditional car with an electric or hybrid vehicle at the end of its life. (And drive the speed limit!). Clean energy helps avoid additional emissions. ·Focus on Efficiency If available, minimizes fuel use, saving money and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.  Drive smart and improve your fuel economy by going easy on the brakes and gas and keeping your car well-maintained.  Vehicle Selection and Efficiency Strategies Selection Key Feature Website for information Energy-efficient vehicle Higher miles per gallon Environmental Protection Agency Electric vehicle Less greenhouse gas emissions than average new gasoline-powered cars Department of Energy Energy-saving electric vehicle charger Improve efficiency and receive benefits like lower electricity bills. EPA’s Energy Star 21. Which sector emitted the most greenhouse gases in the U.S. in 2022? A. Agriculture. B. Industry. C. Transportation. D. Electric Power Industry. 22. What makes gas-powered buses a better choice than electric cars? A. They use clean energy. B. They produce no waste. C. They consume less fuel per person. D. They travel with no speed limit. 23. Which website offers details about rewards for driving smart? A. EPA’s Energy Star. B. Department of Energy. C. Environmental Protection Agency. D. Department of Transportation. 【答案】21. C 22. C 23. A 【难度】0.85 【导语】文章主要介绍旅行中交通和旅游业对气候的污染，以及选择更环保的交通方式、注重燃油效率来应对气候变化的方法。 【详解】21. 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“As the pie chart illustrates, the transportation sector accounted for a major share of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions in 2022.(如图表所示，2022年美国交通运输部门占温室气体排放的主要份额)”可知，2022年美国温室气体排放量最大的部门是交通运输部门。 22. 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Even if a bus is gas-powered, it’s better for the climate than a car because it can transport many people with a single engine.(即使公交车是汽油动力的，它也比汽车更有利于气候，因为它可以用一个发动机运送很多人)”可知，燃气动力公交车比汽车更好的原因是它每人消耗的燃油更少。 23. 细节理解题。根据表格中的“Energy-saving electric vehicle charger: Improve efficiency and receive benefits like lower electricity bills. Website for information: EPA’s Energy Star.(节能电动汽车充电器：提高效率并获得诸如降低电费等好处。信息查询网站：EPA的能源之星)”可知，EPA的能源之星网站提供关于合理驾驶（使用节能充电器提升效率）相关奖励的详细信息。 B In a village a few kilometres from the West Flanders coast, Nele Bekaert fetches one of several Brabant horses that her family owns. Weighing about a ton, the powerful horse is ideal for pulling a drag net to catch tiny, grey shrimp (虾) in the North Sea. Bekaert rides the horse to the seaside of Oostduinkerke, Belgium. Upon arrival, she puts on bright yellow waterproof overalls and ties ropes and a large net behind the horse. Two baskets are placed at the animal’s sides. Bekaert skillfully seats herself between the baskets. She leads the horse into the sea until the water reaches the top parts of its legs and they slowly move parallel to the coastline, causing a unique scene. A metal chain attached to the front of the net over the sand, creating “shockwaves” that cause shrimp to jump into the net, while water pressure pushes the catch to the back. After about 30 minutes, Bekaert and her “co-worker” return to shore. She empties the net, washes and sorts the catch, keeping shrimp and fish that are fully grown, while releasing the small-sized shrimp and baby crabs back into the sea. This helps maintain biodiversity and prevents the unintentional capture of non- target species. Bekaert is part of a team of 14 active horseback shrimp fishers, formerly known as East Dunkirk Horse Fishers. Each year in Oostduinkerke, they give 36 public demonstrations and participate in a Shrimp Festival, events funded by the government to keep the craft alive. Nowadays, the old-fashioned method has been entirely replaced by commercial development except in Oostduinkerke. That is thanks to former mayor (市长) Honoré Loones, who saved horseback shrimp fishing from extinction in 1950 by making it a tourist attraction with the first Shrimp Festival. The craft has been supported by the government ever since. The East Dunkirk Horse Fishers play a vital role in promoting the craft. Members travel for demonstrations at events across Europe. “The tradition is very important,” Bekaert notes. “I’m happy to help preserve and share it.” 24. What makes Bekaert’s shrimp fishing unusual? A. Her fishing on horseback. B. Her plastic fishing net. C. Her protective equipment. D. Her fishing off the coast. 25. Which word can best describe Bekaert’s method of sorting the catch? A. Labor-saving. B. Profit-oriented. C. Sustainable. D. Efficient. 26. Why do the shrimp fishers give so many public demonstrations? A. To work hard to survive. B. To pass down the ancient fishing skill. C. To raise funds for the government. D. To commercialize the Shrimp Festival. 27. What can we infer about horseback shrimp fishing? A. It is expected to die out soon. B. It boosts the global tourism industry. C. It faced extinction in the past. D. It has threatened commercial fishing. 【答案】24. A 25. C 26. B 27. C 【难度】0.87 【导语】本文通过跟随一位捕虾人，看她当天的渔获情况，介绍了北海沿岸历史悠久的骑马捕虾传统，这种古老的捕捞方法除了在Oostduinkerke之外，在其他地方几乎已经消失了。社区和政府的认可使这种做法得以延续。 【详解】24. 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Bekaert skillfully seats herself between the baskets. She leads the horse into the sea until the water reaches the top parts of its legs and they slowly move parallel to the coastline, causing a unique scene.(Bekaert灵巧地坐在篮子之间。她将马儿引向大海，直到海水淹没马腿的上部，它们缓缓与海岸线平行移动，形成了一幅独特的景象)”可知，Bekaert捕虾的方式之所以独特是因为她骑在马背上捕虾。 25. 推理判断题。根据第三段内容“She empties the net, washes and sorts the catch, keeping shrimp and fish that are fully grown, while releasing the small-sized shrimp and baby crabs back into the sea. This helps maintain biodiversity and prevents the unintentional capture of non-target species.(她将网中的渔获倒出，清洗并分类，保留完全成熟的虾和鱼，同时将体型较小的虾和幼蟹放回海中。这有助于维持生物多样性，并防止意外捕获非目标物种)”可知，Bekaert在捕捞时只留下那些完全长成的鱼和虾。其他小虾和小蟹放归大海，这有助于维持生物多样性，是一种可持续的渔获分类方式。 26. 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Each year in Oostduinkerke, they give 36 public demonstrations and participate in a Shrimp Festival, events funded by the government to keep the craft alive.(每年在Oostduinkerke，他们都会举办36场面向公众的骑马捕虾技艺演示，并参加捕虾节，这些活动由政府资助，以维持这项手工艺的传承)”和最后一段中““The tradition is very important,” Bekaert notes. “I’m happy to help preserve and share it.”(“传统非常重要，”Bekaert指出，“我很乐意帮助保护和传承它。”)”可知，Bekaert和其他的渔民们每年进行多场马背捕虾表演的目的是延续这种古老的传统。 27. 推理判断题。根据第五段中“That is thanks to former mayor (市长) Honoré Loones, who saved horseback shrimp fishing from extinction in 1950 by making it a tourist attraction with the first Shrimp Festival.(这要归功于前市长Honoré Loones，他在1950年通过举办第一届虾节使骑马捕虾成为旅游景点，从而使其免于灭绝。)”可知，这要感谢前任市长洛内斯，他在1950年创办了第一届虾节，使马背捕虾成为一个旅游热点，免于灭绝。这说明在过去马背捕虾曾面临灭绝的风险。 C Currently, most packaging is single-use and is made with plastic materials obtained from nonrenewable resources like fossil oil that take hundreds of years to break down in the environment. On top of this, only 9% of plastic is recycled. This has resulted in the formation of floating piles of plastic garbage in the ocean, called “the Great Pacific Garbage Patch”. Perhaps the biggest contributor to plastic waste, at least in the United States, is plastic bags, the kind found at most stores. These bags, while sometimes recycled, are often only used once and can be found littered throughout the environment. To address this problem, Srinivas Janaswamy from South Dakota State University is working towards developing a plastic-like bag that will break down in the environment. The key ingredient of Janaswamy’s work? Cellulose (纤维素) . It’s a common organic substance on Earth and is found, primarily, in the cell walls of plants. Cellulose gives plants structural strength and firmness thanks to its chemical makeup and long, chain-like form. “By obtaining cellulose from agricultural products, value-added products can be created,” Janaswamy said. Janaswamy then met Anne Fennell, a leading researcher in the study of grapevines (葡萄藤) which are rich in cellulose. Every year, after the majority of new branches on the vine are cut off, they are either cut into pieces and buried in the soil or burned in some areas. “Since grapevines are plentiful and have insignificant use after harvest, why not use this for value-added films (薄膜) ?” Janaswamy thought. Janaswamy’s idea led to cooperation, and soon he was getting cellulose which looks almost like cotton — from grapevines. Janaswamy’s grapevine films are transparent (透明的) and strong, and break down within 17 days in the soil — leaving behind no harmful remains. “High transparency enhances product visibility and allows a quick check of the quality without even opening the package. These films demonstrate excellent promise for food packaging, ” Fennell said. 28. What does the author try to illustrate by mentioning “the Great Pacific Garbage Patch” in Paragraph 1? A. The severe plastic pollution. B. The limits of recycling technology. C. The improper shopping habits. D. The promise of renewable resources. 29. Why is cellulose essential to Janaswamy’s plastic-like bags? A. It can be found everywhere. B. It can be recycled from food waste. C. It helps form strong structures. D. It breaks down into usable materials. 30. What advantage of the grapevine films does Fennell highlight in the last paragraph? A. Their low expenses. B. Their user-friendliness. C. Their easy production. D. Their energy-efficiency. 31. Which of the following is the most suitable title for the passage? A. The Plastic Pollution in the Pacific Ocean B. The Treatment of Grapevines After Harvest C. Cellulose: A Vital Organic Substance in Plant D. Grapevine Films: Eco-Friendly Plastic Alternative 【答案】28. A 29. C 30. B 31. D 【难度】0.82 【导语】本文介绍塑料包装污染严重的现状，科研人员利用葡萄藤中的纤维素研发可降解环保包装薄膜。 【详解】28. 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“This has resulted in the formation of floating piles of plastic garbage in the ocean, called “the Great Pacific Garbage Patch”.(这导致海洋中形成了漂浮的塑料垃圾堆，被称为“太平洋垃圾带”)”可知，作者提到太平洋垃圾带，是为了说明塑料污染问题十分严重。 29. 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Cellulose gives plants structural strength and firmness thanks to its chemical makeup and long, chain-like form.(纤维素因其化学结构和长链形态，能够为植物提供结构强度和硬度)”可知，纤维素能够形成坚固结构，是制作仿塑料包装袋的关键材料。 30. 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“High transparency enhances product visibility and allows a quick check of the quality without even opening the package.(高透明度提升产品可视度，不用打开包装就能快速检查物品质量)”可知，Fennell突出强调的是其高透明度带来的方便——不用打开包装就能快速检查食品质量，即对使用者非常友好。 31. 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，首段提出塑料污染问题，接着介绍利用纤维素，特别是葡萄藤中的纤维素，制成可降解的“薄膜/塑料袋”，最后强调这种葡萄藤薄膜透明、结实且可在土壤中快速降解，适合做食品包装。文章重点在于介绍一种以葡萄藤纤维素为原料的环保型塑料替代品。D项“葡萄藤薄膜：环保型塑料替代品”能概括文章主旨，适合作标题。 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. 32. 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. 33. 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. 34. 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. 35. 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】32. C 33. B 34. A 35. C 【难度】0.53 【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。 【详解】32. 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”。 33. 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。 34. 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”。 35. 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. 36 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. 37 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. 38 However, they’re hearing it for the first time. Keep it simple. 39 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. 40       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】36. C 37. D 38. G 39. B 40.

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。 40.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。 A few years ago, a close friend of mine told me that she didn’t think of me as a creative person.

At some point, I get stuck. The ideas just don’t come, or I 50 with the right perspective. When I feel this way, I ask myself: Why am I stuck? — Until I uncover the 51 of the problem. If I’m still blocked, I will 52 physical movement — a walk or a run — to 53 my head. Often, the simple act of stepping away and reconnecting with myself 54 that creative tension.

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. 【难度】0.65 【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.

As the pie chart illustrates, the transportation sector accounted for a major share of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions in 2022. Tourism also contributes to climate pollution, with transportation making up the majority of tourism-related emissions. But that doesn’t mean you have to stop traveling for fun altogether. You can make a difference by focusing on greener transportation options and fuel efficiency. ·Use Greener Transportation Air travel emissions can be reduced by choosing direct flights or taking the train or a bus instead of flying. Even if a bus is gas-powered, it’s better for the climate than a car because it can transport many people with a single engine. If a car is the best option, consider replacing your traditional car with an electric or hybrid vehicle at the end of its life. (And drive the speed limit!). Clean energy helps avoid additional emissions. ·Focus on Efficiency If available, minimizes fuel use, saving money and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.  Drive smart and improve your fuel economy by going easy on the brakes and gas and keeping your car well-maintained.  Vehicle Selection and Efficiency Strategies Selection Key Feature Website for information Energy-efficient vehicle Higher miles per gallon Environmental Protection Agency Electric vehicle Less greenhouse gas emissions than average new gasoline-powered cars Department of Energy Energy-saving electric vehicle charger Improve efficiency and receive benefits like lower electricity bills. EPA’s Energy Star 21. Which sector emitted the most greenhouse gases in the U.S. in 2022? A. Agriculture. B. Industry. C. Transportation. D. Electric Power Industry. 22. What makes gas-powered buses a better choice than electric cars? A. They use clean energy. B. They produce no waste. C. They consume less fuel per person. D. They travel with no speed limit. 23. Which website offers details about rewards for driving smart? A. EPA’s Energy Star. B. Department of Energy. C. Environmental Protection Agency. D. Department of Transportation. B In a village a few kilometres from the West Flanders coast, Nele Bekaert fetches one of several Brabant horses that her family owns. Weighing about a ton, the powerful horse is ideal for pulling a drag net to catch tiny, grey shrimp (虾) in the North Sea. Bekaert rides the horse to the seaside of Oostduinkerke, Belgium. Upon arrival, she puts on bright yellow waterproof overalls and ties ropes and a large net behind the horse. Two baskets are placed at the animal’s sides. Bekaert skillfully seats herself between the baskets. She leads the horse into the sea until the water reaches the top parts of its legs and they slowly move parallel to the coastline, causing a unique scene. A metal chain attached to the front of the net over the sand, creating “shockwaves” that cause shrimp to jump into the net, while water pressure pushes the catch to the back. After about 30 minutes, Bekaert and her “co-worker” return to shore. She empties the net, washes and sorts the catch, keeping shrimp and fish that are fully grown, while releasing the small-sized shrimp and baby crabs back into the sea. This helps maintain biodiversity and prevents the unintentional capture of non- target species. Bekaert is part of a team of 14 active horseback shrimp fishers, formerly known as East Dunkirk Horse Fishers. Each year in Oostduinkerke, they give 36 public demonstrations and participate in a Shrimp Festival, events funded by the government to keep the craft alive. Nowadays, the old-fashioned method has been entirely replaced by commercial development except in Oostduinkerke. That is thanks to former mayor (市长) Honoré Loones, who saved horseback shrimp fishing from extinction in 1950 by making it a tourist attraction with the first Shrimp Festival. The craft has been supported by the government ever since. The East Dunkirk Horse Fishers play a vital role in promoting the craft. Members travel for demonstrations at events across Europe. “The tradition is very important,” Bekaert notes. “I’m happy to help preserve and share it.” 24. What makes Bekaert’s shrimp fishing unusual? A. Her fishing on horseback. B. Her plastic fishing net. C. Her protective equipment. D. Her fishing off the coast. 25. Which word can best describe Bekaert’s method of sorting the catch? A. Labor-saving. B. Profit-oriented. C. Sustainable. D. Efficient. 26. Why do the shrimp fishers give so many public demonstrations? A. To work hard to survive. B. To pass down the ancient fishing skill. C. To raise funds for the government. D. To commercialize the Shrimp Festival. 27. What can we infer about horseback shrimp fishing? A. It is expected to die out soon. B. It boosts the global tourism industry. C. It faced extinction in the past. D. It has threatened commercial fishing. C Currently, most packaging is single-use and is made with plastic materials obtained from nonrenewable resources like fossil oil that take hundreds of years to break down in the environment. On top of this, only 9% of plastic is recycled. This has resulted in the formation of floating piles of plastic garbage in the ocean, called “the Great Pacific Garbage Patch”. Perhaps the biggest contributor to plastic waste, at least in the United States, is plastic bags, the kind found at most stores. These bags, while sometimes recycled, are often only used once and can be found littered throughout the environment. To address this problem, Srinivas Janaswamy from South Dakota State University is working towards developing a plastic-like bag that will break down in the environment. The key ingredient of Janaswamy’s work? Cellulose (纤维素) . It’s a common organic substance on Earth and is found, primarily, in the cell walls of plants. Cellulose gives plants structural strength and firmness thanks to its chemical makeup and long, chain-like form. “By obtaining cellulose from agricultural products, value-added products can be created,” Janaswamy said. Janaswamy then met Anne Fennell, a leading researcher in the study of grapevines (葡萄藤) which are rich in cellulose. Every year, after the majority of new branches on the vine are cut off, they are either cut into pieces and buried in the soil or burned in some areas. “Since grapevines are plentiful and have insignificant use after harvest, why not use this for value-added films (薄膜) ?” Janaswamy thought. Janaswamy’s idea led to cooperation, and soon he was getting cellulose which looks almost like cotton — from grapevines. Janaswamy’s grapevine films are transparent (透明的) and strong, and break down within 17 days in the soil — leaving behind no harmful remains. “High transparency enhances product visibility and allows a quick check of the quality without even opening the package. These films demonstrate excellent promise for food packaging, ” Fennell said. 28. What does the author try to illustrate by mentioning “the Great Pacific Garbage Patch” in Paragraph 1? A. The severe plastic pollution. B. The limits of recycling technology. C. The improper shopping habits. D. The promise of renewable resources. 29. Why is cellulose essential to Janaswamy’s plastic-like bags? A. It can be found everywhere. B. It can be recycled from food waste. C. It helps form strong structures. D. It breaks down into usable materials. 30. What advantage of the grapevine films does Fennell highlight in the last paragraph? A. Their low expenses. B. Their user-friendliness. C. Their easy production. D. Their energy-efficiency. 31. Which of the following is the most suitable title for the passage? A. The Plastic Pollution in the Pacific Ocean B. The Treatment of Grapevines After Harvest C. Cellulose: A Vital Organic Substance in Plant D. Grapevine Films: Eco-Friendly Plastic Alternative 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. 32. 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. 33. 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. 34. 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. 35. 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. 36 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. 37 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. 38 However, they’re hearing it for the first time. Keep it simple. 39 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. 40       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。 A few years ago, a close friend of mine told me that she didn’t think of me as a creative person. That really 41 me, because I always felt a creative impulse (冲动) in me: through writing. I always felt the need to create something. It made me 42 : Isn’t writing a form of creation? While writing serves as a communicative tool, it also possesses the 43 to create, express, and stimulate emotions. I felt connected to writing, to the 44 meaning behind the blank page 45 itself under my pen. Sure, I kept a journal and wrote in my notes app. These were the things I was most 46 about: to learn about a topic, 47 it and give it back to the world the way I digested it. My biggest form of inspiration is the outside world: it comes from talking to a friend that has a very different life from mine; from funny 48 with strangers on the bus; from being in nature, 49 plants and insects. At some point, I get stuck. The ideas just don’t come, or I 50 with the right perspective. When I feel this way, I ask myself: Why am I stuck? — Until I uncover the 51 of the problem. If I’m still blocked, I will 52 physical movement — a walk or a run — to 53 my head. Often, the simple act of stepping away and reconnecting with myself 54 that creative tension.

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. __________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试卷第1页（共3页） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。OK maam, may I see your driver's license. please?
