Though I’d used binoculars (望远镜), field guides and song identification apps all summer while hiking, this was the first time I only watched birds. I’ve always cared about birds and have written about them as a science writer, but the moment I decided with purpose to devote time and energy to bird-watching marked my transformation into a birder. Seven months later, I’ve seen 452 species, learned dozens of calls, tracked rare birds, and even went looking for owls at night. I didn’t start from zero. My career spent writing about nature taught me about the habitats; journalism allowed me to quickly familiarize myself with new topics and new people. I crowdsourced tips on social media platforms and went out with experienced birders. I used tools available to beginners. Many regard birding as just turning lives into checklist numbers, but even that is harder without knowledge. To find the birds, you have to know them. And in doing that, much else falls into space. Birding has boosted my time outdoors, pushing me to explore my neighborhood in ways I never would have: amazing hot spots in industrial areas, wastewater treatment plants, and random parks. I seem imperious to heat, cold, hunger, and thirst. My mind quiets, focusing only on the present. I also feel a much deeper connection to nature, which I’ve long written about but always remained slightly distant from. Every bird I meet gives color and sound to the facts I once knew only from books. Birds I assumed lived far away — golden eagles, cranes — have all appeared within an hour of my house. People call birding an escape from reality. I reject that. Instead, I see it as involvement with the true reality. I don’t need to know social media drama when I can spend an hour hunting for a rare bird. The choice is obvious. Spring is coming. New birds will soon flood the Bay Area. I can’t wait. 24. What is paragraph 1 mainly about? A. When the author became a birder. B. The author’s early interest in birding. C. An ideal destination for new birders. D. A memorable birding trip without tools. 25. What does the author emphasize in paragraph 3? A. Why new birders can never start from zero. B. How prior skills have aided his/ her birding. C. The difficulties of birding without guidance. D. The use of effective bird identification tools. 26. What does the underlined phrase “imperious to” mean in paragraph 5? A. extremely afraid of B. strongly opposed to C. easily contented with D. completely unaffected by 27. What is the author’s main message? A. Birding is an escape from reality. B. Technology kills real experience. C. Simple joys like birding enrich life. D. Hobbies require a lot of knowledge. C Have you ever escaped taking on a role or opportunity because you didn’t feel confident enough? Perhaps the voice in your head asked: “Why me? I am not yet ready, not capable enough, or don’t have enough experience.” If you can relate, you’re among the majority of women with whom I’ve worked. I recently asked more than 120 women, from areas including the U. S., UK, Australia, Georgia, Italy, India, Jamaica, and Bermuda: If you’ve ever avoided risks, what factors and reasons contributed to this? More than 70% reported that self-doubt, or not having enough belief in themselves, their capabilities, or their skills, was a driving factor. As one well-known executive told me: “Every day I doubt myself. I doubt that I am good enough to be where I am.” This shouldn’t come as a surprise. We know self-doubt is a pervasive and often paralyzing concern, particularly for women. A study by psychologists at Cornell and Washington State highlighted higher levels of self-doubt in women. Research has also shown that women will apply for a job only if they meet all of the qualifications, while men will apply when they fulfill only 60%. Another recent study identified a considerable gender gap when it comes to self-promotion, with women providing less favorable assessments of their own past performance and potential future ability. Ultimately, men take more chances on themselves, and that pays dividends in the long run. While this pattern of self-doubt emerged again and again in studies, my interactions, and my client work, I also noticed another commonality: These women’s self-doubts weren’t sabotaging their success. The vast majority of successful women leaders I’ve interviewed and coached have built exciting and satisfying careers even while facing self-doubt. What these women also had in common is courage in the absence of confidence — a trait that is often weaponized against women and used to explain why they fail to achieve career goals. My work has found that successful women take decisive action to move forward even while grappling with fears and doubts and questioning their own “readiness”. “As women, we often feel like we have to be 100% ready in order to move forward. But, if you are 50% or 75% there, jump. Just do it,” said Megan Costello, former executive director of the Boston Mayor’s Office for Women’s Advancement. 28. What is the real factor for women to escape taking on a role? A. Higher risks. B. Different beliefs. C. Inner feelings. D. Related experiences. 29. What is typical of women in terms of self-promotion? A. They tend to be less optimistic. B. They prefer to be well qualified. C. They try to be favorably assessed. D. They hope to be clearly identified. 30. Which can best replace the underlined word “sabotaging” in Paragraph 5? A. Promoting. B. Weakening. C. Achieving. D. Balancing. 31. How do women with self-doubts succeed? A. By keeping themselves weaponized. B. By ignoring fears and doubts. C. By stopping questioning their readiness. D. By being bold and decisive. D Visit an antique shop and you may find photographs, letters, or old brochures from decades ago. These objects were never designed to last forever, yet many have survived. Their physical form gives them a chance to remain part of the historical record. This raises an important question: will today’s digital information survive as successfully? For centuries, historians have relied on physical objects that endured even when their creators made no special effort to preserve them. A letter or photograph carries its information in the object itself. Digital information is different. It depends on devices, software, and file formats, all of which may become outdated. Saving a digital object, therefore, does not always mean saving the information inside it. Libraries and archives (档案馆) have long organized, preserved, and provided access to information. By digitizing physical collections, librarians allow researchers around the world to search materials quickly. Yet this success can make libraries seem less necessary. When people say that “everything is on a phone,” they often forget the careful work that made such access possible and the continuing effort required to maintain it. The danger becomes clear when we think about an old ZIP disk. The disk may still exist, but the files on it may be impossible to open because the necessary equipment or software has disappeared. Without regularly moving digital information into new formats, parts of the historical record may suddenly become unreadable. Future researchers could face a serious gap beginning when digital materials replaced physical ones. No complete solution to digital preservation yet exists. However, librarians and archivists are working to identify, organize, transfer, and protect digital materials. They also understand how researchers search for and use information. Their work cannot guarantee that every digital record will survive, but it can prevent the digital past from becoming inaccessible. Preserving digital history will remain difficult, yet professional care can ensure that future researchers find it challenging rather than impossible. In this sense, preservation is not an automatic process but a continuing responsibility. 32. What causes digital information to be at risk of loss? A. Its huge amount of data. B. Its high cost of daily maintenance. C. Its poor storage conditions. D. Its reliance on changing technology. 33. What misconception about libraries does the author point out? A. Digital access makes them unnecessary. B. They prefer to store physical materials. C. Researchers no longer need archives. D. Digitizing collections is very easy. 34. Why does the author mention the old ZIP disk? A. To introduce a popular storage device. B. To show the short lifespan of hardware. C. To prove the necessity of format updates. D. To compare different digital saving methods. 35. What is the main idea of the text? A. Accessing databases is essential to researchers. B. Keeping digital historical records is a challenge. C. Hard work should be done to preserve artifacts. D. The contribution of libraries should be recognized. 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Have you ever found yourself lost in a book, turning pages without really processing the words? It happens to the best of us. 36 For them, reading isn’t just about understanding the text; it’s about thinking critically, making connections, and engaging with what they’re reading. This is where questioning techniques come into play in reading instruction. At its core, questioning techniques are strategies used to inspire readers to think critically about what they are reading. 37 Just like how exercise strengthens muscles, asking questions while reading strengthens comprehension skills. It pushes readers to not only understand the story but to analyze it, evaluate it, and sometimes even challenge it. 38 The types of questions asked can vary depending on the level of engagement required. There are easy literal questions that ask for information directly from the text and also inferential and evaluative questions that require readers to read between the lines. There are even predictive questions that encourage readers to make predictions about what will happen next. 39 But together, they create a rich, engaging reading experience that goes beyond just decoding words on a page. You might be wondering, “Why does this matter?” Can’t students just read and understand on their own? Well, the truth is, reading is more than just recognizing words. 40 In a world overloaded with information, teaching students how to think critically about what they read is more important than ever. Questioning techniques in reading instruction provide students with the tools they need to become thoughtful, engaged, and reflective readers. A. Each type serves a different purpose. B. It’s about making sense of those words. C. Of course, all questions aren’t created equal. D. They can totally transform the reading experience. E. But imagine students who are just learning to read. F. Think of questioning techniques as a mental workout for the brain. G. Be aware that these techniques can be tailored based on reading levels. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（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。 The charm of the ocean has always been a powerful force, and among its most grand inhabitants is the humpback whale (驼背鲸). My personal encounter with a humpback whale is an experience that has 41 my understanding of the natural world and my place within it. That morning, our research ship floated quietly in the Gulf of Alaska. After hours of patient 42 , a huge humpback whale suddenly 43 just meters away.

It’s closely linked with a Chinese tradition-drinking tea and enjoying the 57 (taste) snacks together. In Chinese, “dim sum” translates to “touch the heart”, reflecting the idea that the small, delicate dish 58 (mean) to delight diners, not to serve as a full meal but to bring a moment of pleasure. The tradition is believed to have grown out of the teahouses of southern China, 59 travelers came for a cup of tea, particularly in Guangdong province. 60 (serve) in small portions (份额), dim sum started as simple refreshments and gradually developed into a more organized style of dining. Later, chefs treated dim sum as an art form. Skill was shown not only in flavor but also in shape and 61 (present). Some dishes remain simple and comforting, while others become 62 (increasing) delicate. This creative tension between tradition and innovation 63 (allow) dim sum to adapt to different eras and regions 64 losing its essential character. Today, its global spread continues that creative spirit. Local chefs often adjust recipes to suit local tastes, 65 (give) rise to fusion (融合) dim sum, which pairs classic forms with international ingredients. Yet at its heart, enjoying dim sum remains a Chinese tradition of time spent together. 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 你校英文报“Opinion”栏目正在征稿。请你就“同伴一起学习”（peer learning）与“自主学习”（independent learning）哪一种学习效果更好发表看法，并阐述你的理由。请你写一篇短文向该栏目投稿。 注意： （1）写作词数应为80左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Which Works Better: Peer Learning or Independent Learning? ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第二节（满分25分） 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 The tip of my fishing pole jerked twice and then bent in half as the line went tight. “Hey, Grandpa!” I shouted. “It’s Walter!” “Can’t be Walter,” he said, walking to my side. “I’ve had him on my line many times, but he’s always managed to slip the hook.” While Grandpa was talking, Walter was swimming. He swam down deep, and then he swam to the surface and cleared out of the river, flapping his tail and shaking his head. Just before he fell back with a mighty white splash, I thought I saw him wink at me. It was such a human gesture that for a moment I forgot he was a fish — he was just another creature fighting for his life, and somehow I admired him for it. But that didn’t make me want him any less, at least then. “That’s a good-sized trout (鳟鱼), though,” Grandpa said. “Keep your rod (鱼竿) tip up and your line tight.” Then he disappeared back down the riverbank. “No, Grandpa, wait!” I called, but he was already gone. My arm was getting tired and my heart was beating wildly in my chest. I tried my best to do as I was told. But try as I might, something went wrong. My rod went straight and my line went loose, and when I reeled (卷线) in the hook, Walter was gone. As we walked back home, Grandpa said, “You’re almost as fine a fisherman as I am, did you know that? Yet some fish are meant to stay in the river.” But I was hardly listening. I felt robbed, as if someone had stolen my bike or something. My eyes were burning, and there was a hot hard knot in my throat. “It’s just not fair,” I moaned. “Maybe you just need a little bit of luck.” Grandpa said, putting his big warm hand on my shoulder and drawing me close. I felt better. That night I tossed and turned and I dreamed of Walter — I pulled him up on the riverbank, carried him home and got my picture in the newspaper, becoming a world-famous fisherman. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Then at dawn I slipped from my bed and went down to the river. ____________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When I lifted him from the water, he seemed to stare at me with a sad, wet eye. _________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
