(任何老师都可以为学生报名参加比赛。)”可知，BCC对学生没有特殊限制，任何学生都可以通过老师报名参加。而 CAC要求是参与地区的中学生或者高中生，IOI要求是赢得全国竞赛的中学生，USACO要求是美国的中学生或者高中生，所以BCC在参赛资格上与其他三个竞赛不同，它对学生身份限制最少，故选A。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据“International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI)”部分的“However, the real prize is being able to write down “IOI winner” when you apply to a college. (然而，真正的奖励是当你申请一所大学时，能够写下“IOI获奖者”。)”可知，IOI获奖者的真正奖品是在申请大学时有“IOI获奖者”这一优势，能为大学申请增添亮点，故选D。 B I’m 52, and as surprising as it may seem, I’m a gymnast. In a sport for young girls, I have found an unlikely path to joy. When I cross the threshold of the gym, no matter how much stress I might be feeling, my mind clears and I forget my life. I think of nothing but what I am doing. When I was 9, I went every Saturday to a gymnastic academy. The coach had gray hair and wore ballet shoes and had boundless enthusiasm. He would say, “You are going to be a gymnast.” And I believed him. I vividly remember the first time I did a round off back handspring by myself, the weightlessness of it. I lived for Saturday mornings. I only ever did gymnastics recreationally — I didn’t even know real gyms existed — but I always loved it. That long dormant love came roaring back in my forties. It happened in an instant, at parents’ day for my daughter’s beginning gymnastics class. The bars were just sitting there, and I had this overwhelming urge to grab hold and swing. But I couldn’t make it through the warm up at the first adult class I went. I felt bad during conditioning. I was the oldest person there. But that spark of memory glowed with possibility. I went back to class again, and again. It was hard and it was humbling. But soon I was doing back handsprings like I used to. There is nothing like the thrill of getting a new skill. There is an ineffable element, too, something like faith. By the time we reach middle age, most of us have had to deal with our fair share of unwelcome surprises, like illness, family crisis or the death of a beloved parent. But gymnastics has brought the most delightful surprises — I keep getting better, going beyond what I thought was impossible, amazing myself by what I can do. I’m in the best shape of my life. I’m a better gymnast now than I was at 16. 4. What do we know about the author from the first paragraph? A. Competitive. B. Considerate. C. Humble. D. Passionate. 5. Why did the author have gymnastic classes when she was young? A. Her Saturday morning routines. B. Her coach’s boundless enthusiasm. C. Doing gymnastics recreationally. D. Getting pleasure from gymnastics. 6. What made the author go back to gymnastic classes in her forties? A. Achieving success at adult classes. B. Her sweet memory of doing gymnastics. C. Shouldering her duty as a parent. D. The strong urge to grab hold and swing. 7. What is the writer’s intention in writing this passage? A. To inspire people to surpass their limits. B. To explain the way to be a good gymnast. C. To reflect on her strengths and weaknesses. D. To help the readers to discover their potentials. 【答案】4. D 5. D 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者作为中年体操运动员的挑战与成就。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第一段“I’m 52, and as surprising as it may seem, I’m a gymnast. In a sport for young girls, I have found an unlikely path to joy. (我今年 52 岁了，尽管这可能听起来令人惊讶，但我是一名体操运动员。在这项通常属于年轻女孩的运动中，我找到了一条意想不到的通往快乐的道路)”可知，作者虽然52岁了，但仍然是一名体操运动员，并且在这项年轻女孩的运动中找到了快乐的途径。这表明作者对体操充满热情。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第二段中“I only ever did gymnastics recreationally — I didn’t even know real gyms existed — but I always loved it. (我一直只是把体操当作一种业余爱好来做 —— 我甚至都不知道还有真正的专业体操馆存在 —— 但我一直都很热爱它)”可知，作者小时候上体操课是因为从体操中获得乐趣。故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第三段中“That long dormant love came roaring back in my forties. It happened in an instant, at parents’ day for my daughter’s beginning gymnastics class. The bars were just sitting there, and I had this overwhelming urge to grab hold and swing. (那份长久以来沉睡的热爱在我四十多岁的时候又汹涌地回来了。这件事发生在一瞬间，那是我女儿初级体操班的家长开放日。单杠就在那里，我突然有一种强烈的冲动，想要抓住它荡起来)”可知，她做体操的甜蜜回忆让作者在四十多岁时重返体操课。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第一段中“I’m 52, and as surprising as it may seem, I’m a gymnast. (我今年 52 岁了，尽管这可能听起来令人惊讶，但我是一名体操运动员)”和最后一段“There is nothing like the thrill of getting a new skill. There is an ineffable element, too, something like faith. By the time we reach middle age, most of us have had to deal with our fair share of unwelcome surprises, like illness, family crisis or the death of a beloved parent. But gymnastics has brought the most delightful surprises — I keep getting better, going beyond what I thought was impossible, amazing myself by what I can do. I’m in the best shape of my life. I’m a better gymnast now than I was at 16. (没有什么能比得上掌握一项新技能时的那种兴奋感。这其中还有一种难以言喻的东西，有点像信念。到了我们这个中年阶段，我们大多数人都不得不应对过不少令人不快的意外情况，比如疾病、家庭危机或是深爱的父母离世。但体操却带来了最令人愉悦的惊喜 —— 我一直在进步，超越了自己原本认为不可能做到的事情，为自己的能力感到惊叹。我现在的身体状态是一生中最好的。我现在的体操水平比 16 岁的时候还要好)”可知，作者通过分享自己作为中年体操运动员的经历，展现了不断挑战自我、超越极限的精神。因此，作者的写作意图是激励人们超越自己的极限。故选A。 C Frightening as monsters are, they have always fascinated us. From strange combinations of animals to magical beings, creatures have emerged from our imaginations throughout history. Today, they still frequent our cinema screens. Considering how scared we can be of monsters, it seems paradoxical that we keep making them. In fact, there is science behind our love of monsters. Monsters are imaginary creatures that come from our long history of living alongside predators (捕食者). Snakes, for example, were among our ancestors’ first deadly threats, causing them to evolve snake-responsive neurons (神经元) in their brains. This adaptation allowed them to detect snakes with just a quick look. This hardware produced the snake-like monsters, including dragons, that appear in almost all cultures. That is why we get a thrill seeing snake monsters on the screen. Similarly, our ancestors’ minds were shaped by the need to detect bears, lions and other larger predators in tough environments. We evolved to spot predators in the dark between tree trunks or in shadowy corners. With their long teeth and giant claws, these animals have seized our imaginations, appearing in cave paintings over thousands of years. There are psychological benefits to being frightened by monsters. Scary stories with terrifying creatures activate the amygdala, the brain’s fear center, kicking off the fight-or-flight response and releasing adrenaline (肾上腺素). With the story ending in safety, adrenaline levels drop, bringing chemicals that fuel the feeling of relaxation. Such controlled fear experience might help us to manage long-term stress or increase our pain tolerance. As a result, some people with anxiety enjoy watching horror films before bed. The monsters we create today for films and books reflect our deepest fears — whether it’s Godzilla threatening civilisation, or aliens growing within us. Monster media allows us to externalise anxieties into supernatural beings. By understanding our monsters and why we make them, we can learn a great deal about what is going on under the surface of our minds. 8. What does the underlined word “paradoxical” mean in paragraph 1? A. Reasonable. B. Predictable. C. Contradictory. D. Problematic. 9. What is the purpose of paragraphs 2 and 3? A. To honour the wisdom of our ancestors. B. To demonstrate the origin of monsters. C. To compare different deadly creatures. D. To introduce common animals in artworks. 10. How does watching horror films benefit people with anxiety? A. It reduces the brain’s sensitivity to fear. B. It helps people forget anxious experiences. C. It teaches safety lessons in extreme danger. D. It stimulates the body’s relaxation system. 11. What is the author’s attitude towards our love of monsters? A. Favourable. B. Uncertain. C. Ambiguous. D. Skeptical. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要解释了人类为何对怪物既感到害怕又被其吸引的现象，从人类历史、心理机制等方面进行了阐述，说明了怪物在人类文化和心理中的重要作用。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据前文“Considering how scared we can be of monsters(考虑到我们对怪物有多害怕)”以及后文“we keep making them(我们一直制造怪物)”可知，我们害怕怪物，但是又一直在制造怪物，看起来是矛盾的，推知paradoxical为“矛盾的”之意，和C项意思相近。故选C项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Monsters are imaginary creatures that come from our long history of living alongside predators (捕食者). Snakes, for example, were among our ancestors’ first deadly threats, causing them to evolve snake-responsive neurons (神经元) in their brains. This adaptation allowed them to detect snakes with just a quick look. This hardware produced the snake-like monsters, including dragons, that appear in almost all cultures. That is why we get a thrill seeing snake monsters on the screen.(怪物是我们与食肉动物长期共存的历史中想象出来的生物。例如，蛇是我们祖先最早的致命威胁之一，导致他们在大脑中进化出对蛇敏感的神经元。这种适应使它们只需快速看一眼就能发现蛇。这种硬件产生了像蛇一样的怪物，包括龙，几乎在所有文化中都出现过。这就是为什么我们在屏幕上看到蛇怪会感到兴奋)”以及第三段“Similarly, our ancestors’ minds were shaped by the need to detect bears, lions and other larger predators in tough environments. We evolved to spot predators in the dark between tree trunks or in shadowy corners. With their long teeth and giant claws, these animals have seized our imaginations, appearing in cave paintings over thousands of years.(同样，我们祖先的思维也被在恶劣环境中发现熊、狮子和其他大型捕食者的需要所塑造。我们进化到能够在黑暗的树干间或阴暗的角落里发现捕食者。这些动物有着长长的牙齿和巨大的爪子，它们在几千年前的洞穴壁画中出现，抓住了我们的想象力)”可知，这两段从蛇和大型捕食者的角度解释了怪物的起源，指出它们是基于我们祖先与捕食者共存的历史经验演化得来，目的是说明怪物的起源。故选B项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“There are psychological benefits to being frightened by monsters. Scary stories with terrifying creatures activate the amygdala, the brain’s fear center, kicking off the fight-or-flight response and releasing adrenaline (肾上腺素). With the story ending in safety, adrenaline levels drop, bringing chemicals that fuel the feeling of relaxation. Such controlled fear experience might help us to manage long-term stress or increase our pain tolerance. As a result, some people with anxiety enjoy watching horror films before bed.(被怪物吓到有心理上的好处。关于恐怖生物的恐怖故事会激活杏仁核，即大脑的恐惧中心，引发“战或逃”反应，并释放肾上腺素。随着故事在安全的情况下结束，肾上腺素水平下降，产生了促进放松感的化学物质。这种可控的恐惧体验可能有助于我们管理长期压力或提高我们的疼痛耐受力。因此，一些焦虑的人喜欢在睡觉前看恐怖电影)”可知，观看恐怖电影可以刺激肾上腺素分泌，最终通过化学机制让人感到放松，因此恐怖电影帮助激活身体的放松系统。故选D项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Such controlled fear experience might help us to manage long-term stress or increase our pain tolerance.(这种可控的恐惧体验可能有助于我们管理长期压力或提高我们的疼痛耐受力)”以及最后一段“The monsters we create today for films and books reflect our deepest fears — whether it’s Godzilla threatening civilisation, or aliens growing within us. Monster media allows us to externalise anxieties into supernatural beings. By understanding our monsters and why we make them, we can learn a great deal about what is going on under the surface of our minds.(我们今天为电影和书籍创造的怪物反映了我们最深的恐惧——无论是威胁文明的哥斯拉，还是在我们体内生长的外星人。怪物媒体让我们把焦虑外化到超自然生物身上。通过了解我们的怪物以及我们为什么制造它们，我们可以学到很多关于我们思想表面下发生的事情)”可知，作者认为对怪物的喜爱能有助于我们管理长期压力或提高我们的疼痛耐受力，以及学到很多关于我们思想表面下发生的事情，所以应是支持的态度。故选A项。 D Technology with roots going back to the Bronze Age may offer a fast and inexpensive solution to help achieve the United Nations climate goal of net zero emissions by 2050. The technology involves arranging heat-absorbing firebricks in an insulated (隔热的) container, where they store heat generated by solar or wind power for later use and maintain it at the high temperatures required for industrial processes. When needed, the heat can be released by passing air through channels in the layers of the bricks, thus allowing steel, glass, and paper factories to run on renewable energy even when wind and sunlight are unavailable. The bricks are made from the same materials as the insulating bricks used thousands of years ago. Today, about 17% of all carbon dioxide emissions (排放) worldwide come from burning fossil fuels to produce heat for industrial processes. Generating industrial heat from renewable sources could all but remove these emissions. “By storing energy in the form closest to its end use, you reduce inefficiencies in energy transition,” said the researchers. “It’s said in our field that’ if you want hot showers, store hot water’; so this study can be summarized as ‘if you need heat for industry, store it in firebricks.’” The researchers examined the impact of using firebricks to store industrial process heat in149 countries by using computer models to assess costs, land requirements, health impacts, and emissions in two situations for an assumed future where those countries in 2050 are using renewables for all energy purposes. In one situation, firebricks provide 90% of industrial process heat. In the other, there’s zero adoption of firebricks or other heat energy storage for industrial processes. The researchers found firebricks enable a faster and lower-cost transition to renewables. Specifically, the situation with firebricks could cut capital costs by $1.27 trillion across the 149 countries relative to the situation with no firebrick storage, while reducing demand for energy from the electricity supply. “What excites us is that the substantial benefit at low cost from multiple angles, from helping to reduce air pollution related deaths to easing global transition to clean renewables,” researchers commented. 12. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about concerning the firebrick? A. Its key composition. B. Its potential limitations. C. Its working principle. D. Its historical background. 13. What can we learn about the firebrick in paragraph 3? A. It increases the use of fossil fuels. B. It helps to generate industrial heat. C. It contributes to energy sustainability. D. It stores energy in the form of hot water. 14. How did the researchers arrive at their conclusion in paragraph 4? A. By making a comparison. B. By presenting a phenomenon. C. By analyzing cause and effect. D. By building a computer model. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Firebricks Are the Future of Industrial Technology B. The Solar Power Helps Achieve Net Zero Emissions C. Renewable Energy Dominates Industrial Production D. Bronze Age Technology Could Aid Clean Energy Shift 【答案】12. C 13. C 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章通过介绍一种利用火砖储存热能的技术，详细阐述了其工作原理、潜在应用以及对实现联合国2050年净零排放气候目标的可能贡献。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“The technology involves arranging heat-absorbing firebricks in an insulated (隔热的) container, where they store heat generated by solar or wind power for later use and maintain it at the high temperatures required for industrial processes. When needed, the heat can be released by passing air through channels in the layers of the bricks, thus allowing steel, glass, and paper factories to run on renewable energy even when wind and sunlight are unavailable. The bricks are made from the same materials as the insulating bricks used thousands of years ago.(这项技术包括将吸热耐火砖放置在一个隔热容器中，在容器中储存太阳能或风能产生的热量供以后使用，并将其保持在工业过程所需的高温下。当需要时，热量可以通过砖块层中的通道通过空气释放出来，这样即使在没有风和阳光的情况下，钢铁、玻璃和造纸厂也可以使用可再生能源。这些砖的材料与几千年前使用的隔热砖相同)”可知，本段主要讲述了防火砖的工作原理。故选C项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Today, about 17% of all carbon dioxide emissions (排放) worldwide come from burning fossil fuels to produce heat for industrial processes. Generating industrial heat from renewable sources could all but remove these emissions. “By storing energy in the form closest to its end use, you reduce inefficiencies in energy transition,” said the researchers. “It’s said in our field that’ if you want hot showers, store hot water’; so this study can be summarized as ‘if you need heat for industry, store it in firebricks.’”(今天，全世界大约17%的二氧化碳排放来自燃烧化石燃料为工业生产过程供热。利用可再生能源生产工业热几乎可以消除这些排放。研究人员说：“通过以最接近其最终用途的形式储存能量，你可以减少能源转换的低效率。”“在我们的领域里，有人说‘如果你想洗热水澡，就储存热水’；因此，这项研究可以总结为‘如果你需要工业供热，那就把它储存在耐火砖里。’”)”可知，本段提及防火砖能减少能量转换的低效情况，也能减少碳排放，可知其有助于能源可持续性发展。故选C项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“The researchers examined the impact of using firebricks to store industrial process heat in149 countries by using computer models to assess costs, land requirements, health impacts, and emissions in two situations for an assumed future where those countries in 2050 are using renewables for all energy purposes. In one situation, firebricks provide 90% of industrial process heat. In the other, there’s zero adoption of firebricks or other heat energy storage for industrial processes. The researchers found firebricks enable a faster and lower-cost transition to renewables. Specifically, the situation with firebricks could cut capital costs by $1.27 trillion across the 149 countries relative to the situation with no firebrick storage, while reducing demand for energy from the electricity supply.(研究人员对149个国家使用耐火砖储存工业过程热量的影响进行了研究，他们使用计算机模型评估了成本、土地需求、健康影响和两种情况下的排放，假设这些国家在2050年所有能源目的都使用可再生能源。在一种情况下，耐火砖提供了90%的工业过程热量。另一方面，在工业过程中没有采用耐火砖或其他热能储存。研究人员发现耐火砖可以更快、更低成本地过渡到可再生能源。具体来说，与没有耐火砖储能相比，使用耐火砖储能可以在149个国家削减1.27万亿美元的资本成本，同时减少对电力供应的能源需求)”可知，研究人员通过计算有耐火砖和没用耐火砖之间的结果来得出结论，所以是通过比较。故选A项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Technology with roots going back to the Bronze Age may offer a fast and inexpensive solution to help achieve the United Nations climate goal of net zero emissions by 2050.(可以追溯到青铜器时代的技术可能会提供一种快速而廉价的解决方案，帮助实现联合国2050年净零排放的气候目标)”以及纵观全文可知，文章主要围绕一种复古的技术“防火砖”如何帮助清洁能源发展这一主题展开，强调了这一技术对能源转型的重要作用，所以D项“青铜时代的技术有助于清洁能源的转变”是本文最好的标题。故选D项。 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。 “Lazy Girl Jobs” Are Just Healthy Jobs On social media platforms, the term “lazy girl job” is being used to describe jobs with a comfortable salary, reasonable benefits and 9-to-5 working hours. This trend is about flexibility, efficiency and creating healthy boundaries. Employees are working to get this message across. It boils down to the lesson the pandemic taught us: ___16___. It’s primary that business leaders put the well-being and health of workers and their families above everything else. We have to enable employees to succeed in a more independent and self-guided way. Part of that is incorporating work into employees’ lives, not life into their work. ___17___. In reality, commitment is about output, productivity and goal completion. When employees really understand their goals and are completing them effectively, productivity thrives. Here are four key lessons: Output before input ___18___. Shifting to a focus on productivity promotes a more efficient and flexible work environment, where employees are judged by their output. That means companies must have the right tools and processes to document goals and progress. Healthy boundaries Recognize that work is a part of life, not the other way around. This means flexibility in work hours, opportunities for remote work and ensuring that after-hours communications are exception. Build trust and autonomy One crucial aspect of this trend is empowering employees to guide their work autonomously. This autonomy translates into higher job satisfaction and performance. ___19___ Every leader is doing their best to hire smart, motivated and talented people. It’s our responsibility to ensure their well-being. Offering mental health support, promoting physical wellness and cultivating a positive work environment contribute to this goal. The “lazy girl job” trend is not a short-lived craze. We must pay attention to what employees — especially the next generation — are saying about what work should be. Millennials and Gen Z want balance in their lives, not to be the first one in the office and the last one out. ___20___. By doing so, we foster a culture where employees feel cared for, where their lives outside of work are valued and where they can perform at their best. A. Integrate well-being and health B. Prioritize health over responsibility C. Managing employees is not what it used to be D. The “lazy girl job” trend argues for a results-driven culture E. A common mistake leaders make is equating commitment with long hours F. The leaders should create an environment where employees can work at ease G. This trend encourages us to create a workplace that’s in tune with these generations and the modern world 【答案】16. C 17. E 18. D 19. A 20. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“懒女孩工作”趋势的特点、意义及相关启示。 【16题详解】 上文“On social media platforms, the term “lazy girl job” is being used to describe jobs with a comfortable salary, reasonable benefits and 9-to-5 working hours. This trend is about flexibility, efficiency and creating healthy boundaries. Employees are working to get this message across.

When employees really understand their goals and are completing them effectively, productivity thrives.(实际上，奉献体现在产出、生产效率和目标完成上。当员工真正理解他们的目标并有效地完成目标时，生产力就会蓬勃发展)”说明人们对于奉献存在误解，E项“领导者常犯的一个错误是把奉献等同于长时间工作”与后文相呼应，指出了这种错误观念，为后文纠正观念做铺垫，符合语境。故选E。 【18题详解】 上文“Output before input(先产出后投入)”作为本段小标题，应概括本段内容，下文“Shifting to a focus on productivity promotes a more efficient and flexible work environment, where employees are judged by their output.(将重点转移到生产力上，能促进建立一个更高效、灵活的工作环境，在这样的环境中，员工是根据他们的产出被评判的)”强调关注生产力，以产出评判员工，D项“‘懒女孩工作’趋势倡导以结果为导向的文化”与小标题和下文内容一致，符合语境。故选D项。 【19题详解】 下文“Every leader is doing their best to hire smart, motivated and talented people. It’s our responsibility to ensure their well-being. Offering mental health support, promoting physical wellness and cultivating a positive work environment contribute to this goal.(每个领导者都在尽力雇佣聪明、积极且有才华的人。确保他们的幸福是我们的责任。提供心理健康支持、促进身体健康以及营造积极的工作环境有助于实现这一目标)”强调了关注员工身心健康的重要性，A项“融合福祉与健康”概括了下文内容，突出了将员工福祉和健康融入工作中的重要性，适合作为该部分标题。故选A。 【20题详解】 上文“Millennials and Gen Z want balance in their lives, not to be the first one in the office and the last one out.(千禧一代和Z世代希望在生活中实现平衡，而不是成为最早到办公室和最晚离开的人)”说明千禧一代和Z世代希望在生活中取得平衡，下文“By doing so, we foster a culture where employees feel cared for, where their lives outside of work are valued and where they can perform at their best.(通过这样做，我们能够营造一种文化氛围，让员工感受到被关怀，让他们在工作之外的生活得到重视，让他们能够发挥出最佳水平)”表明要营造出一种良好的工作氛围，G项“这一趋势鼓励我们创造一个与这些世代和现代世界相契合的工作场所”承接前文，指出要顺应这种趋势，创建符合年轻一代需求和现代世界特点的工作场所，与下文提到的营造让员工感到被关怀、重视工作外生活并能在工作中发挥最佳表现的文化相呼应，符合语境。故选G 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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I once had a colleague who was a “score keeper”.

There are ____37____ (rough) five million charging units in the country, with more coming. While other E. V. markets are still heavily dependent ____38____ subsidies (补助) and financial incentives, China has entered a new phase: Consumers are weighing the features and prices of electric vehicles against gas-powered cars without much ____39____ (consider) of state support. It took China more than a decade of subsidies, long-term investments and infrastructure spending ____40____ (lay) the foundation for its electric vehicle market to start standing on its own.

The words “award nomination (提名)” glowed on the screen, but my heart raced like a trapped bird. Bianca, my orange cat, jumped onto the desk and rubbed her head against my arm, her soft fur calming me a little. Closing the laptop, I took a deep breath and walked to the kitchen to make coffee. The morning sun painted golden stripes on the floor, and the smell of roasted beans filled the air. Outside, the Pacific Ocean waves crashed gently, a sound I’d loved for years. New York felt like another universe compared to this quiet coastal town. Carrying my mug to the wooden deck, I sat down and watched seagulls circle above the water. A cool breeze blew my hair back, but it couldn’t ease the tightness in my chest. “New York,” I whispered to myself. Tall buildings, crowded streets, and strangers everywhere — how could I survive there? I’d always avoided big cities after moving back from Toronto. My small house by the ocean was my safe harbor, where I wrote mysteries about brave detectives. Now, life was asking me to become as brave as my characters. When Kathy arrived for our usual coffee time, her eyes were wide with excitement. “New York! This is amazing!” she shouted, almost spilling her latte. Her enthusiasm made me shrink into my chair. “I know, but...” I sighed, playing with the handle of my mug. “Last year’s ceremony was in Seattle. I drove there, wore my old blue dress, and nobody cared if I made mistakes. New York is different. What if I get lost? What if I say something stupid in front of famous writers?” My voice grew quieter. “And…what if I lose?” Kathy reached over and patted my hand. “You’ve already won by being nominated. Thousands of writers dream of this chance.” She smiled warmly. “Remember why you started writing? It wasn’t for awards. It was because you love stories.” 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。 Her words lingered in my mind long after she left. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ And then I was there, at the big, scary New York. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文： Her words lingered in my mind long after she left. That night, I sat at my desk, Bianca sleeping peacefully beside my keyboard. Moonlight spilled through the window, turning the ocean silver. I opened my laptop and reread the e-mail. Fear still clawed at me, but beneath it bubbled a strange hope. Maybe New York wasn’t Mars. Maybe it was just another chapter waiting to be written. I booked the plane ticket before I could change my mind. The plane’s engines roared as coastal fog dissolved beneath us, Manhattan’s jagged silhouette rising like a paper-cut cityscape against dawn. And then I was there, at the big, scary New York. Tall buildings blocked the sky, and taxi horns screamed like angry birds. My hands shook as I walked into the hotel. At the award ceremony, I held Bianca’s old collar in my pocket — its rough edges reminded me of home. When my name was called, the crowd’s clapping sounded like ocean waves. I stood at the microphone and said, “Stories help us find bravery.” A man in the front row nodded like Kathy always does. Afterward, someone handed me coffee with a kind smile. It was just Kathy standing there, smiling. The city lights twinkled like stars on water, and I smiled back. 【解析】 【导语】本文以“提名奖”为线索展开，主要讲述了作者收到纽约某奖项提名通知后内心充满恐惧与犹豫，好友Kathy鼓励作者前往纽约参加颁奖典礼。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“她离开后，她的话一直萦绕在我心头”可知，第一段可描写作者在Kathy离开后内心的转变，从恐惧犹豫到下定决心前往纽约。 ②由第二段首句内容“然后，我就到了那个又大又让人害怕的纽约”可知，第二段可描写作者初到纽约时的紧张不安，以及在颁奖典礼上的经历。 2. 续写线索：下定决心——前往纽约——初到纽约的紧张——颁奖典礼的经历——感受到温暖与勇气 3. 词汇激活 行为类： ①坐下：sit/take a seat ②预定：book/order ③走进：walk into/step into 情绪类： ①恐惧：fear/terror ②勇敢：bravery/courage 【点睛】【高分句型1】I booked the plane ticket before I could change my mind.

Students complete the challenge at school, and they can track how their computer science skills grow over time. Eligibility(资格)requirements: Any teacher can sign their students up for the competition. Prizes: Your teacher can print certificates with your level of achievement. Congressional App Challenge (CAC) In this computer science competition, individual students or groups of up to four design an app. The app can be created using any programming language and platform, and it can be on any theme or topic. Eligibility requirements: You must be a middle or high school student in a participating district.

An addition to the college application. B I’m 52, and as surprising as it may seem, I’m a gymnast. In a sport for young girls, I have found an unlikely path to joy. When I cross the threshold of the gym, no matter how much stress I might be feeling, my mind clears and I forget my life. I think of nothing but what I am doing. When I was 9, I went every Saturday to a gymnastic academy. The coach had gray hair and wore ballet shoes and had boundless enthusiasm. He would say, “You are going to be a gymnast.” And I believed him. I vividly remember the first time I did a round off back handspring by myself, the weightlessness of it. I lived for Saturday mornings. I only ever did gymnastics recreationally — I didn’t even know real gyms existed — but I always loved it. That long dormant love came roaring back in my forties. It happened in an instant, at parents’ day for my daughter’s beginning gymnastics class. The bars were just sitting there, and I had this overwhelming urge to grab hold and swing. But I couldn’t make it through the warm up at the first adult class I went. I felt bad during conditioning. I was the oldest person there. But that spark of memory glowed with possibility. I went back to class again, and again. It was hard and it was humbling. But soon I was doing back handsprings like I used to. There is nothing like the thrill of getting a new skill. There is an ineffable element, too, something like faith. By the time we reach middle age, most of us have had to deal with our fair share of unwelcome surprises, like illness, family crisis or the death of a beloved parent. But gymnastics has brought the most delightful surprises — I keep getting better, going beyond what I thought was impossible, amazing myself by what I can do. I’m in the best shape of my life. I’m a better gymnast now than I was at 16. 4. What do we know about the author from the first paragraph? A. Competitive. B. Considerate. C. Humble. D. Passionate. 5. Why did the author have gymnastic classes when she was young? A. Her Saturday morning routines. B. Her coach’s boundless enthusiasm. C. Doing gymnastics recreationally. D. Getting pleasure from gymnastics. 6. What made the author go back to gymnastic classes in her forties? A. Achieving success at adult classes. B. Her sweet memory of doing gymnastics. C. Shouldering her duty as a parent. D. The strong urge to grab hold and swing. 7. What is the writer’s intention in writing this passage? A. To inspire people to surpass their limits. B.

C Frightening as monsters are, they have always fascinated us. From strange combinations of animals to magical beings, creatures have emerged from our imaginations throughout history. Today, they still frequent our cinema screens. Considering how scared we can be of monsters, it seems paradoxical that we keep making them. In fact, there is science behind our love of monsters. Monsters are imaginary creatures that come from our long history of living alongside predators (捕食者). Snakes, for example, were among our ancestors’ first deadly threats, causing them to evolve snake-responsive neurons (神经元) in their brains. This adaptation allowed them to detect snakes with just a quick look. This hardware produced the snake-like monsters, including dragons, that appear in almost all cultures. That is why we get a thrill seeing snake monsters on the screen. Similarly, our ancestors’ minds were shaped by the need to detect bears, lions and other larger predators in tough environments. We evolved to spot predators in the dark between tree trunks or in shadowy corners. With their long teeth and giant claws, these animals have seized our imaginations, appearing in cave paintings over thousands of years. There are psychological benefits to being frightened by monsters. Scary stories with terrifying creatures activate the amygdala, the brain’s fear center, kicking off the fight-or-flight response and releasing adrenaline (肾上腺素). With the story ending in safety, adrenaline levels drop, bringing chemicals that fuel the feeling of relaxation. Such controlled fear experience might help us to manage long-term stress or increase our pain tolerance. As a result, some people with anxiety enjoy watching horror films before bed. The monsters we create today for films and books reflect our deepest fears — whether it’s Godzilla threatening civilisation, or aliens growing within us. Monster media allows us to externalise anxieties into supernatural beings. By understanding our monsters and why we make them, we can learn a great deal about what is going on under the surface of our minds. 8. What does the underlined word “paradoxical” mean in paragraph 1? A. Reasonable. B. Predictable. C. Contradictory. D. Problematic. 9. What is the purpose of paragraphs 2 and 3? A. To honour the wisdom of our ancestors. B. To demonstrate the origin of monsters. C. To compare different deadly creatures. D. To introduce common animals in artworks. 10. How does watching horror films benefit people with anxiety? A. It reduces the brain’s sensitivity to fear. B. It helps people forget anxious experiences. C. It teaches safety lessons in extreme danger. D. It stimulates the body’s relaxation system. 11. What is the author’s attitude towards our love of monsters? A. Favourable. B. Uncertain. C. Ambiguous. D. Skeptical. D Technology with roots going back to the Bronze Age may offer a fast and inexpensive solution to help achieve the United Nations climate goal of net zero emissions by 2050. The technology involves arranging heat-absorbing firebricks in an insulated (隔热的) container, where they store heat generated by solar or wind power for later use and maintain it at the high temperatures required for industrial processes. When needed, the heat can be released by passing air through channels in the layers of the bricks, thus allowing steel, glass, and paper factories to run on renewable energy even when wind and sunlight are unavailable. The bricks are made from the same materials as the insulating bricks used thousands of years ago. Today, about 17% of all carbon dioxide emissions (排放) worldwide come from burning fossil fuels to produce heat for industrial processes. Generating industrial heat from renewable sources could all but remove these emissions. “By storing energy in the form closest to its end use, you reduce inefficiencies in energy transition,” said the researchers. “It’s said in our field that’ if you want hot showers, store hot water’; so this study can be summarized as ‘if you need heat for industry, store it in firebricks.’” The researchers examined the impact of using firebricks to store industrial process heat in149 countries by using computer models to assess costs, land requirements, health impacts, and emissions in two situations for an assumed future where those countries in 2050 are using renewables for all energy purposes. In one situation, firebricks provide 90% of industrial process heat. In the other, there’s zero adoption of firebricks or other heat energy storage for industrial processes. The researchers found firebricks enable a faster and lower-cost transition to renewables. Specifically, the situation with firebricks could cut capital costs by $1.27 trillion across the 149 countries relative to the situation with no firebrick storage, while reducing demand for energy from the electricity supply. “What excites us is that the substantial benefit at low cost from multiple angles, from helping to reduce air pollution related deaths to easing global transition to clean renewables,” researchers commented. 12. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about concerning the firebrick? A. Its key composition. B. Its potential limitations. C. Its working principle. D. Its historical background. 13. What can we learn about the firebrick in paragraph 3? A. It increases the use of fossil fuels. B. It helps to generate industrial heat. C. It contributes to energy sustainability. D. It stores energy in the form of hot water. 14. How did the researchers arrive at their conclusion in paragraph 4? A. By making a comparison. B. By presenting a phenomenon. C. By analyzing cause and effect. D. By building a computer model. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Firebricks Are the Future of Industrial Technology B. The Solar Power Helps Achieve Net Zero Emissions C. Renewable Energy Dominates Industrial Production D. Bronze Age Technology Could Aid Clean Energy Shift 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。 “Lazy Girl Jobs” Are Just Healthy Jobs On social media platforms, the term “lazy girl job” is being used to describe jobs with a comfortable salary, reasonable benefits and 9-to-5 working hours. This trend is about flexibility, efficiency and creating healthy boundaries. Employees are working to get this message across. It boils down to the lesson the pandemic taught us: ___16___. It’s primary that business leaders put the well-being and health of workers and their families above everything else. We have to enable employees to succeed in a more independent and self-guided way. Part of that is incorporating work into employees’ lives, not life into their work. ___17___. In reality, commitment is about output, productivity and goal completion. When employees really understand their goals and are completing them effectively, productivity thrives. Here are four key lessons: Output before input ___18___. Shifting to a focus on productivity promotes a more efficient and flexible work environment, where employees are judged by their output. That means companies must have the right tools and processes to document goals and progress. Healthy boundaries Recognize that work is a part of life, not the other way around. This means flexibility in work hours, opportunities for remote work and ensuring that after-hours communications are exception. Build trust and autonomy One crucial aspect of this trend is empowering employees to guide their work autonomously. This autonomy translates into higher job satisfaction and performance. ___19___ Every leader is doing their best to hire smart, motivated and talented people. It’s our responsibility to ensure their well-being. Offering mental health support, promoting physical wellness and cultivating a positive work environment contribute to this goal. The “lazy girl job” trend is not a short-lived craze. We must pay attention to what employees — especially the next generation — are saying about what work should be. Millennials and Gen Z want balance in their lives, not to be the first one in the office and the last one out. ___20___. By doing so, we foster a culture where employees feel cared for, where their lives outside of work are valued and where they can perform at their best. A. Integrate well-being and health B. Prioritize health over responsibility C. Managing employees is not what it used to be D. The “lazy girl job” trend argues for a results-driven culture E. A common mistake leaders make is equating commitment with long hours F. The leaders should create an environment where employees can work at ease G.

The words “award nomination (提名)” glowed on the screen, but my heart raced like a trapped bird. Bianca, my orange cat, jumped onto the desk and rubbed her head against my arm, her soft fur calming me a little. Closing the laptop, I took a deep breath and walked to the kitchen to make coffee. The morning sun painted golden stripes on the floor, and the smell of roasted beans filled the air. Outside, the Pacific Ocean waves crashed gently, a sound I’d loved for years. New York felt like another universe compared to this quiet coastal town. Carrying my mug to the wooden deck, I sat down and watched seagulls circle above the water. A cool breeze blew my hair back, but it couldn’t ease the tightness in my chest. “New York,” I whispered to myself. Tall buildings, crowded streets, and strangers everywhere — how could I survive there? I’d always avoided big cities after moving back from Toronto. My small house by the ocean was my safe harbor, where I wrote mysteries about brave detectives. Now, life was asking me to become as brave as my characters. When Kathy arrived for our usual coffee time, her eyes were wide with excitement. “New York! This is amazing!” she shouted, almost spilling her latte. Her enthusiasm made me shrink into my chair. “I know, but...” I sighed, playing with the handle of my mug. “Last year’s ceremony was in Seattle. I drove there, wore my old blue dress, and nobody cared if I made mistakes. New York is different. What if I get lost? What if I say something stupid in front of famous writers?” My voice grew quieter. “And…what if I lose?” Kathy reached over and patted my hand. “You’ve already won by being nominated. Thousands of writers dream of this chance.” She smiled warmly. “Remember why you started writing? It wasn’t for awards. It was because you love stories.” 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。 Her words lingered in my mind long after she left. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ And then I was there, at the big, scary New York. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
