C 【解析】 【原文】Good morning, listeners. Today we are focusing on Abby, who once worked as a teacher in Nunavut, a northern territory of Canada. In Nunavut Abby lived in a remote small community where most goods have to be shipped or flown in from distant areas. So food and housing cost a great deal. Though life there shares some similarities with her hometown in southern Canada, it also brings unique challenges. Houses there have no running water, so both drinking water and waste water must be carried by workers, meaning people have to use water wisely. Also goods in local shops are very limited, offering fewer choices than she had in her hometown. But the hardest thing to get used to is the lack of sunlight in winter. It gets dark very early each afternoon. However, Abby truly enjoyed the Christmas community activities there, such as ice sculpting and traditional skating races. She also liked the local traditional food served during celebrations. Actually she truly treasured this unique experience, which broadened her cultural horizons, and she hopes to visit there again someday. 第二部分 阅读理解 (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 The Future of Clean Energy in Homes Heating, cooling, and powering homes contribute significantly to global CO₂ emissions. As nations strive to reduce their carbon footprints, residential energy use — responsible for nearly 20% of energy-related emissions — poses unique challenges. Below is the 2022 breakdown of household emissions by source. ELECTRICITY 52% HEATING 28% COOLING 12% APPLIANCES 6% LIGHTING 2% Clean energy solutions for homes must be affordable, efficient, and adaptable to diverse climates. While technologies vary, here are key innovations driving the shift toward sustainability. HEAT PUMPS — Efficient Heating/Cooling Replacing gas boilers, electric heat pumps transfer warmth from air or ground, cutting heating emissions by 50%. Hybrid models, hopefully, might be able to work in sub-zero temperatures in the near future. SMART GRIDS (电网) — Dynamic Electricity Management AI-powered grids optimize energy use, storing surplus solar power during peak hours and reducing reliance on fossil-fuel backups. SOLAR PANELS — Rooftop Revolution Solar energy is the most accessible renewable source for households. Advances in photovoltaic cells have cut costs by 80% since 2010, making them viable in numerous regions. WIND TURBINES — Community Microgrids Small-scale turbines (涡轮机) in windy areas can power neighborhoods, though land use debates persist. “The scale of this transition is staggering,” says Dr. Elena Torres, a climate scientist at MIT. Residential renewables like solar and heat pumps could meet 90% of global household demand by 2050 — but only if investments triple within this decade. Recent studies show that every $1 invested in green homes today saves $5 in future climate adaptation costs. This isn’t just an environmental imperative; it’s economically inevitable. 21. Which two categories combined account for over three-quarters of total household emissions? A. Electricity and Heating. B. Heating and Cooling. C. Appliances and Lighting. D. Cooling and Appliances. 22. Which technology is highlighted as cost-effective for diverse climates? A. Heat pumps. B. Smart grids. C. Solar panels. D. Wind turbines. 23. What does Dr. Torres emphasize about the energy transition? A. The dominance of gas boilers. B. The increase in solar efficiency. C. The need for higher investment. D. The breakthrough in heat pump technology. 【答案】21. A 22. C 23. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要讲述了家庭清洁能源的未来，包括家庭排放来源、清洁能源技术及投资需求。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Below is the 2022 breakdown of household emissions by source. ELECTRICITY 52%，HEATING 28%(以下是2022年家庭排放来源的细分。电力占52%，供暖占28%)”可知，电力和供暖两个类别加起来占家庭总排放量的四分之三以上。故选A。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据SOLAR PANELS — Rooftop Revolution部分中“Solar energy is the most accessible renewable source for households. Advances in photovoltaic cells have cut costs by 80% since 2010, making them viable in numerous regions.(太阳能是家庭最容易获得的可再生能源。自2010年以来，光伏电池的进步使成本降低了80%，使其在许多地区都可行)”可知，太阳能电池板被强调为适用于不同气候的成本效益高的技术。故选C。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据WIND TURBINES — Community Microgrids部分中“Residential renewables like solar and heat pumps could meet 90% of global household demand by 2050 — but only if investments triple within this decade.(到2050年，太阳能和热泵等住宅可再生能源可以满足全球90%的家庭需求，但前提是未来十年的投资要增加两倍)”可知，Torres博士强调了能源转型需要更高的投资。故选C。 B Many of us suffer from a wish to be special. We usually assume that a special person is a better person and a special life is a better life. However, my experience has helped me to understand the high cost I have paid to be special: the extra time spent trying to impress others, the meals I was too tired to cook but I still cooked, the newspaper column that I just couldn’t stop working with... I’ve been thinking about the cost a lot since becoming a mother. I know it is very natural to want our children to feel special, perhaps more special than others, so they can develop self-confidence. But I don’t think real self-confidence comes from being raised above others. It should come from being themselves and feeling loved for that in an ordinary way. It is not believing that they are the best and trying to be that. It is understanding that they have value for being them. It is very easy to give our children the impression that to be special, they need to try to be somebody else. Perhaps the most valuable gift we can give them is the permission to be ordinary. Trying to be special or to live a special life can in reality take them further and further away from better ones. It can also lead them to lose sight of the precious moments of the life they are actually living. Since I have become aware of this, I start to enjoy cooking simpler meals. I also feel much more freedom when writing this column. I feel less of a need to perform than I used to. And when I do feel that need, I can recognize it and respond differently (sometimes). At first, it might be a little bit boring to be ordinary. Now, I’ve become much more aware of the beauty of ordinary moments that I am fortunate enough to experience every day: the naughty smiles from my daughter; the funny sounds my cat makes in the middle of the night... 24. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. Cost. B. Self-confidence. C. Being themselves. D. Trying to be special. 25. What does the author do now when she feels a need to perform? A. occupy herself with her work. B. Try to hold back the desire. C. Do what she is expected to do. D. Turn her attention to her family. 26. What does the author say about her current life? A. It is unnatural. B. It is boring. C. It is stressful. D. It is enjoyable. 27. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Why Should We Celebrate Being Ordinary? B. Why Do Many of Us Try So Hard to Be Special? C. How Does Children’s Self-Confidence Develop? D. How Can Parents Help Kids Enjoy the Real Life? 【答案】24. C 25. B 26. D 27. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。作者从自身经历出发，反思“追求特殊”的代价，进而探讨如何培养孩子真正的自信，最后得出结论：接受平凡，享受平凡生活中的美好瞬间。 【24题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线单词上文的“But I don’t think real self-confidence comes from being raised above others. It should come from being themselves and feeling loved for...”可知，作者认为自信应该来自于以一种平凡的方式做自己，并为做自己感到被爱。所以that代指的上文的being themselves。故选C项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段的句子“I feel less of a need to perform than I used to. And when I do feel that need,I can recognize it and respond differently (sometimes). (我觉得不像以前那么需要表演了。当我感到需要的时候，我能意识到它并做出不同的反应（有时）。)”可知，作者现在当有表现欲时，会意识到并尝试以不同方式应对，即克制这种欲望。故选B项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段的句子“Now, I’ve become much more aware of the beauty of ordinary moments that I am fortunate enough to experience every day: the naughty smiles from my daughter; the funny sounds my cat makes in the middle of the night...(现在，我更加意识到我有幸每天都能经历的平凡时刻的美好：女儿调皮的微笑；我的猫在半夜发出的奇怪的声音……)”可知，作者现在的生活更自由、更享受。故选D项。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，特别是第一段的句子“However, my experience has helped me to understand the high cost I have paid to be special: the extra time spent trying to impress others, the meals I was too tired to cook but I still cooked, the newspaper column that I just couldn’t stop working with... (然而，这段经历让我看清了为变得出类拔萃所付出的高昂代价：那些为博人眼球额外耗费的时间，那些精疲力竭却仍要强撑下厨的餐食，那项令我欲罢不能的报纸专栏工作……)”及最后一段“At first, it might be a little bit boring to be ordinary. Now, I’ve become much more aware of the beauty of ordinary moments that I am fortunate enough to experience every day: the naughty smiles from my daughter; the funny sounds my cat makes in the middle of the night... (起初，平凡生活或许略显平淡。现在，我更加意识到我有幸每天都能经历的平凡时刻的美好：女儿调皮的微笑；我的猫在半夜发出的奇怪的声音……)”可知，作者从自身经历出发，反思“追求特殊”的代价，进而探讨如何培养孩子真正的自信，最后得出结论：接受平凡，享受平凡生活中的美好瞬间。所以，用A项“Why Should We Celebrate Being Ordinary? (为什么我们要庆祝平凡？)”作为本文的题目，与文章主题相符合。故选A项。 C Chocolate is a popular snack, but the price of it continues to rise. Cocoa from the cacao tree is the basic ingredient of chocolate; the trees thrive in warm and damp climates but are struggling due to increasing aridity — a slow but non-stop drying of the land. This issue extends to producers around the globe, threatening cocoa production and livelihoods of farmers. Over the past 30 years, more than three-quarters of the Earth’s landmass has become drier. This dryness is a long-term transformation with disastrous consequences for ecosystems, agriculture, and livelihoods. Aridity arises from human-driven factors, including greenhouse gas emissions, unsustainable land use, and natural resource degradation. Climate change, primarily caused by fossil fuel consumption and deforestation, increases global temperatures, accelerating evaporation (蒸发) and heightening water shortage — even in regions with moderate rainfall. Unsustainable land use further intensifies aridity. Practices like deforestation and industrial farming degrade soils, removing them from protective vegetation and essential nutrients. In cocoa-producing regions, deforestation upsets local water cycles and wears away the topsoil. Degraded soils hold less water, deepening drought conditions. Cocoa is just one crop at risk. Major agricultural zones are also affected. By 2100, up to 5 billion people may live in dry lands, stretching food systems to their limit and forcing migration. Aridity also threatens ecosystems. Wildlife struggles to adapt, and plant species suited to warm and damp conditions fail to survive. Economic losses are overwhelming — Africa saw a 12% GDP decline from 1990 to 2015 due to rising aridity. Governments face additional burdens from sandstorms, wildfires, and water shortages. While aridity’s effects are severe, they are not entirely changeless. Restoring degraded lands, improving soil health, and adopting sustainable farming practices can help. Efficient water management, investment in renewable energy, and international cooperation are essential in battling aridity. As chocolate prices hit record highs in early 2025 due to dry conditions in Africa, addressing aridity is a matter of urgency. Beyond saving chocolate, it’s about preserving the planet’s ability to sustain life. 28. What’s the main reason for the rising price of chocolate? A. The decline of cocoa production. B. The high cost of basic ingredients. C. The increasing demand for chocolate. D. The shortage of cocoa tree plantations. 29. What do we know about aridity? A. It is mainly caused by natural factors. B. It only affects cocoa-producing regions. C. It has a wide-ranging impact on various aspects. D. It will disappear if sustainable land use is adopted. 30. Why is Africa’s GDP decline mentioned in paragraph 5? A. To show aridity only causes economic losses in Africa. B. To prove Africa is the most severely affected by aridity. C. To criticize Africa lacks effective measures against aridity. D. To illustrate aridity has a significant influence on economy. 31. Which of the following can fight against aridity? A. Cutting off water supplies. B. Replacing renewable energy. C. Promoting soil conservation. D. Practicing industrial farming. 【答案】28. A 29. C 30. D 31. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了全球干旱化加剧对可可种植、农业生产及生态系统的威胁，并导致巧克力价格上涨。但干旱化不仅是巧克力危机，也同时威胁农业、生态和经济。土地修复，可持续农业，资源管理以及国际合作是对抗干旱的有效措施。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段内容“… the trees thrive in warm and damp climates but are struggling due to increasing aridity—a slow but non-stop drying of the land. This issue extends to producers around the globe, threatening cocoa production and livelihoods of farmers.(……可可树在温暖潮湿的气候中生长旺盛，但由于土地逐渐变得干旱，它们的生长状况正面临困境。这一问题波及全球的生产者，威胁着可可的产量以及农民的生计。)”可知，土地逐渐变得干旱使得巧克力的原料来源可可树的生长状况面临困境，从而导致可可的产量减少，最终导致巧克力价格上涨。故选A项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段内容“This dryness is a long-term transformation with disastrous consequences for ecosystems, agriculture, and livelihoods.(这种干旱是一种长期的转变，对生态系统、农业和生计造成灾难性后果。)”可知，干旱的影响不仅限于单一区域或作物，而是广泛涉及生态、农业、经济等多方面。故选C项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第五段内容“Economic losses are overwhelming—Africa saw a 12%GDP decline from 1990 to 2015 due to rising aridity. (经济损失极为严重——自1990年至2015年，非洲的国内生产总值下降了 12%，原因是干旱加剧。)”可知，导致非洲的国内生产总值下降的原因之一是干旱加剧，由此推知，作者以非洲为例是为了说明干旱对经济的显著影响。故选D项。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第六段内容“Restoring degraded lands, improving soil health, and adopting sustainable farming practices can help. Efficient water management, investment in renewable energy, and international cooperation are essential in battling aridity.(恢复退化的土地、改善土壤质量以及采用可持续的耕作方式都有助于缓解干旱问题。有效的水资源管理、对可再生能源的投资以及国际间的合作对于对抗干旱至关重要。)”可知，缓解或对抗干旱问题的方式有恢复退化的土地，改善土壤质量，采用可持续的耕作方式，进行有效的水资源管理，对可再生能源投资以及国际合作。因此可知，选项C“Promoting soil conservation.(促进土壤保护。)”是对抗干旱的措施。故选C项。 D New era requires a new vocabulary. Will we still talk about the “mobile” phone when all phones are mobile, or when they are implanted within us? Technology is everywhere nowadays, especially at work. Some people are really good at using all the cool new tools that keep popping up. They have something called a TQ, or technology quotient. Think of it like a superpower for understanding the latest tech stuff that our great-grandparents would have found really impossible. Having a high TQ means you’re good at using all the cool new things that not everyone knows about yet. The examples are common and becoming more and more frequent. For the parents it might be a home-school video class. For the brand manager it might be search engine boosting, which helps the brand’s content rank higher in search results. And for the doctor, it might be the role of artificial intelligence in supporting the analysis of a CT scan. TQ tries to quantify our ability to make wise use of present technologies and to quickly adapt, embrace and make use of future creations. This adoption is of great importance from a variety of perspectives, from social to business. One trip into the world of ChatGPT and we can see how the way AI and search interact and operate is changing for just about everyone. Any Mom or Dad can understand the value of IQ and EQ in predicting the potential for a child’s success. But what about technology? The ability for the child and the teacher to understand, embrace and assimilate technology will be a key aspect of their lives as we speed into the future. We are increasingly defined by technology and our active participation in everything from smartphones to Facebook. It might just be time for the basic human needs of food, water and shelter to include technology too. And when that happens, it just might be a good idea to measure it. While this shift brings challenges, it’s unstoppable. As TQ rises, it will combine with IQ and EQ, reshaping how we live, work, and learn — turning adaptability with tech into a measurable advantage. 32. What is TQ according to the text? A. Ability to use new technologies. B. Skill of repairing high-tech products. C. Talent to follow modern changes. D. Speed of learning new languages. 33. Which of the following people has a high TQ? A. A doctor who analyzes CT scans with AI assistance. B. A manager who often uses modern search engines. C. A grandparent who finds new tech devices challenging. D. A mom who watches videos of her child’s school life. 34. What does the underlined word “assimilate” in the fourth paragraph mean? A. Depend on. B. Take in. C. Lie in. D. Insist on. 35. What might be the best title for the passage? A. Why Are IQ and EQ Important for TQ? B. What Makes TQ the New Intelligence? C. How Has TQ Changed in the Modern Era? D. Where to Start Adapting to TQ Changes? 【答案】32. A 33. A 34. B 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了新时代背景下“技术商数（TQ）”的定义、应用场景、重要性，以及其与智商（IQ）、情商（EQ）结合对人类生活工作的重塑作用。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“They have something called a TQ, or technology quotient. Think of it like a superpower for understanding the latest tech stuff that our great-grandparents would have found really impossible. Having a high TQ means you’re good at using all the cool new things that not everyone knows about yet.(他们拥有一种叫做TQ(技术商数)的东西。你可以把它看作一种超能力，能理解我们曾祖父母辈会觉得完全无法想象的最新科技事物。拥有高TQ意味着你擅长使用那些还不是所有人都了解的酷炫新事物)”以及第三段中的“TQ tries to quantify our ability to make wise use of present technologies and to quickly adapt, embrace and make use of future creations.(TQ试图量化我们明智运用现有技术、快速适应、接纳并利用未来创新成果的能力)”可知，TQ指的是使用新技术的能力。故选A项。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“TQ tries to quantify our ability to make wise use of present technologies and to quickly adapt, embrace and make use of future creations.(TQ试图量化我们明智运用现有技术、快速适应、接纳并利用未来创新成果的能力)”以及“And for the doctor, it might be the role of artificial intelligence in supporting the analysis of a CT scan.(对于医生来说，这可能是人工智能在辅助CT扫描分析中发挥的作用)”可知，利用人工智能辅助CT扫描分析的医生，体现了对现有技术的明智运用，符合高TQ的特征。故选A项。 【34题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“The ability for the child and the teacher to understand, embrace and assimilate technology will be a key aspect of their lives as we speed into the future.(随着我们快速步入未来，孩子和教师理解、接纳并assimilate技术的能力将成为他们生活中的关键一环)”可知，“assimilate”与“understand(理解)”“embrace(接纳)”为并列关系，语义相近，结合语境可推测其意为“吸收、掌握”，与“Take in”表意一致。故选B项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，第一段引出新时代需要新词汇的话题，第二段定义TQ（技术商数），第三段列举TQ在不同职业中的应用场景，第四段强调TQ对个人未来的重要性，第五段指出TQ与IQ、EQ结合将重塑人类生活工作方式。全文核心围绕TQ作为一种新的“智能”，其定义、价值和影响展开。由此可知，“是什么让TQ成为新的智能？”概括了文章的主旨，适合作为最佳标题。故选B项。 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，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。 Every day, we speak to and spend time with the people who mean the most to us. However, think about how many people you interact with in a typical week are the ones you wouldn’t consider as close connections. ____36____. In sociology, these are known as our “weak ties”, referred to as such to differentiate them from our strong ties, like close friends and family members. ____37____. For example, if you spoke about your job hunt to a group of close friends, they might only be aware of the same job opportunities as you because you move in the same circles. However, mentioning it to an acquaintance, like a regular waiter, connects you to people outside your own social circle, which can provide unexpected job opportunities. “Weak ties can serve special functions not served by close ties, including providing access to unique information and resources,” says Susan Sprecher, distinguished professor at Illinois State University. “Additionally, many people interact with more weak ties throughout a day than they do with close ties. ____38____.” Indeed, weak ties can give us a real mental health boost. A recent study done by Sprecher indicated people with wider connections of weak ties tend to be happier. ____39____. They reported feeling more happiness and greater feelings of belonging on days when they interacted with more classmates than usual. Given they have such a strong impact on our lives, why not create weak ties? ____40____. Often, this will mean going outside and speaking to people, whether it’s those you pass in the street, who serve you in shops, or with whom you share a class. A. The research involved students B. You find yourself in a better mood C. We just need to engage with other people D. Weak ties can have a smaller effect than you might think E. This diverse social network is related with good health and well-being F. For example, you chat with the guys who regularly serve you at the store G. Strong ties tend to form closed social groups with limited new information 【答案】36. F 37. G 38. E 39. A 40. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了社会学中的“弱连接”概念（指非亲密朋友或家人的人际关系），阐述了其在提供独特信息资源、促进心理健康等方面的作用，并给出建立弱连接的建议。 【36题详解】 根据上文“However, think about how many people you interact with in a typical week are the ones you wouldn’t consider as close connections.(然而，想一想在一个典型的星期里，你与之互动的人中有多少是你认为不亲密的人)”可知，上文提到了你认为不亲密的人，可推理出空白处在举例说明那些不亲密的人，与F项“For example, you chat with the guys who regularly serve you at the store(例如，你和经常在商店为你服务的人聊天)”表达的含义一致，故选F项。 【37题详解】 根据下文“For example, if you spoke about your job hunt to a group of close friends, they might only be aware of the same job opportunities as you because you move in the same circles. However, mentioning it to an acquaintance, like a regular waiter, connects you to people outside your own social circle, which can provide unexpected job opportunities.(例如，如果你和一群亲密的朋友谈论你的求职，他们可能只知道和你一样的求职机会，因为你们在同一个圈子里。然而，如果你对一个熟人，比如一个经常为你服务的服务员提起这件事，就会把你和你社交圈之外的人联系起来，这可能会提供意想不到的工作机会)”可知，此处是在对比亲密关系和弱连接在信息获取上的不同，与G项“Strong ties tend to form closed social groups with limited new information(牢固的关系往往形成封闭的社会群体，导致新信息有限)”表达的含义一致，通过对比说明弱连接的优势，故选G项。 【38题详解】 根据上文““Weak ties can serve special functions not served by close ties, including providing access to unique information and resources,” says Susan Sprecher, distinguished professor at Illinois State University. “Additionally, many people interact with more weak ties throughout a day than they do with close ties (伊利诺伊州立大学的杰出教授苏珊·斯普雷彻说：“弱连接可以发挥亲密关系无法发挥的特殊功能，包括提供独特的信息和资源。”“此外，许多人一天中与弱连接的互动比与亲密关系的互动更多”)”可知，此处是在说明弱连接的好处，与E项“This diverse social network is related with good health and well-being(这种多样化的社交网络与良好的健康和幸福有关)”表达的含义一致，进一步阐述弱连接带来的积极影响，故选E项。 【39题详解】 根据下文“They reported feeling more happiness and greater feelings of belonging on days when they interacted with more classmates than usual.(他们报告说，在与比平时更多的同学互动的日子里，他们感到更快乐，更有归属感)”可知，此处是在说明研究的对象，与A项“The research involved students(这项研究涉及学生)”表达的含义一致，引出下文对研究结果的描述，故选A项。 【40题详解】 根据上文“Given they have such a strong impact on our lives, why not create weak ties?(鉴于它们对我们的生活有如此大的影响，为什么不建立弱连接呢？)”以及下文“Often, this will mean going outside and speaking to people, whether it’s those you pass in the street, who serve you in shops, or with whom you share a class.(通常，这意味着走出去和别人交谈，无论是你在街上遇到的人，在商店里为你服务的人，还是和你一起上课的人)”可知，此处是在说明建立弱连接的方法，与C项“We just need to engage with other people(我们仅仅需要和其他人交往即可)”表达的含义一致，承接上文的问题，引出下文具体的做法，故选C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。 I used to be a writer and editor.

I always enjoyed long journeys in my father’s car with my family. However, things went different that time. We were moving to a new town, not for any tourist destination, but to settle down, for my father had a new job there. My mother, sitting on the passenger seat in the front, was talking with my father. She looked excited for the coming new life. But I was down, feeling nervous about starting a new school life. Entering a new school meant adapting to a completely different environment and meeting new classmates and teachers, which I was not good at. On my first day at the new school, I felt lost and out of place. The students already knew each other well, and they chatted happily during breaks. I missed my old friends terribly and wished I could go back to my old school. Feeling lonely. I often spent time alone during breaks and after classes, reading books in the library or drawing pictures in the art room. I missed the good days I had with my old friends and longed for that sense of belonging. As the days went by, I still found it hard to fit in. I was shy and found it difficult to strike up conversations with my classmates. Some of the kids in my class noticed my discomfort and tried to be friendly, but I couldn’t shake off the feeling of being an outsider. I only had words with my desk mate, Alex, when necessary. Things took a turn for the worse when I knocked off Alex’s water bottle by accident, although I picked up the bottle immediately and apologized to him. He got mad at me and seemed not to forgive me. Soon I found we were avoiding each other. 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.

Reluctantly, we started working together. I was worried that working with Alex would be very difficult because of our previous relationship. But to my surprise, as the work progressed, we found that we shared many common interests. We put a lot of efforts into the drawings and texts, and finally we completed a quite outstanding poster. Alex seemed to forgive me. He appreciated my efforts and began to care about my feelings. The teacher highly praised our work and our classmates were amazed at the picture on the poster. Alex proudly introduced that the fantastic picture was drawn by me. I smiled shyly but happily as my classmates crowned me and gave me a thumbs-up. Slowly but surely, I started feeling more comfortable in my new school. I made new friends, including Alex, and began to participate in activities in and after classes. By the end of the school year, I had fully adapted to the new environment. Moving to a new town was not only challenging, but it also opened up a world of opportunities and new experiences for me. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者一家搬到一个陌生的城市，但作者很难适应作者新的学校生活，作者感到孤独和不适应。一天，当作者不小心撞翻了同桌亚历克斯的水瓶时，事情变得更糟了，尽管作者立即捡起了瓶子并向他道歉。他生作者的气，似乎不打算原谅作者。很快作者发现他们都在回避对方。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“然而，我被分配与亚历克斯合作设计海报”可知，第一段可描写作者原以为和亚历克斯一起工作会很困难，但是他们配合的很好，他们有很多共同之处。他们的海报设计的也很出色，得到了老师的赞扬。同学们对海报上的画感到惊叹。 ②由第二段首句内容“亚历克斯自豪地介绍说，这幅奇妙的画是我画的。”可知，第二段可描写作者得到了同学们的认可，作者结交了很多新朋友并适应了新环境以及感悟。 2. 续写线索：原以为和亚历克斯一起工作会很困难——配合的很好，海报设计的很出色——得到老师赞扬，同学认可，结交新朋友——适应环境——感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 完成：complete/finish 参加：participate in /take part in 开始：begin /start 进步：progress/advance 情绪类 惊讶的：amazed/astonished 担忧的：worried/concerned 【点睛】【高分句型1】But to my surprise, as the work progressed, we found that we shared many common interests.

As nations strive to reduce their carbon footprints, residential energy use — responsible for nearly 20% of energy-related emissions — poses unique challenges. Below is the 2022 breakdown of household emissions by source. ELECTRICITY 52% HEATING 28% COOLING 12% APPLIANCES 6% LIGHTING 2% Clean energy solutions for homes must be affordable, efficient, and adaptable to diverse climates. While technologies vary, here are key innovations driving the shift toward sustainability. HEAT PUMPS — Efficient Heating/Cooling Replacing gas boilers, electric heat pumps transfer warmth from air or ground, cutting heating emissions by 50%. Hybrid models, hopefully, might be able to work in sub-zero temperatures in the near future. SMART GRIDS (电网) — Dynamic Electricity Management AI-powered grids optimize energy use, storing surplus solar power during peak hours and reducing reliance on fossil-fuel backups. SOLAR PANELS — Rooftop Revolution Solar energy is the most accessible renewable source for households. Advances in photovoltaic cells have cut costs by 80% since 2010, making them viable in numerous regions. WIND TURBINES — Community Microgrids Small-scale turbines (涡轮机) in windy areas can power neighborhoods, though land use debates persist. “The scale of this transition is staggering,” says Dr. Elena Torres, a climate scientist at MIT. Residential renewables like solar and heat pumps could meet 90% of global household demand by 2050 — but only if investments triple within this decade. Recent studies show that every $1 invested in green homes today saves $5 in future climate adaptation costs. This isn’t just an environmental imperative; it’s economically inevitable. 21. Which two categories combined account for over three-quarters of total household emissions? A. Electricity and Heating. B. Heating and Cooling. C. Appliances and Lighting. D. Cooling and Appliances. 22. Which technology is highlighted as cost-effective for diverse climates? A. Heat pumps. B. Smart grids. C. Solar panels. D. Wind turbines. 23. What does Dr. Torres emphasize about the energy transition? A. The dominance of gas boilers. B. The increase in solar efficiency. C. The need for higher investment. D. The breakthrough in heat pump technology. B Many of us suffer from a wish to be special. We usually assume that a special person is a better person and a special life is a better life. However, my experience has helped me to understand the high cost I have paid to be special: the extra time spent trying to impress others, the meals I was too tired to cook but I still cooked, the newspaper column that I just couldn’t stop working with... I’ve been thinking about the cost a lot since becoming a mother. I know it is very natural to want our children to feel special, perhaps more special than others, so they can develop self-confidence. But I don’t think real self-confidence comes from being raised above others. It should come from being themselves and feeling loved for that in an ordinary way. It is not believing that they are the best and trying to be that. It is understanding that they have value for being them. It is very easy to give our children the impression that to be special, they need to try to be somebody else. Perhaps the most valuable gift we can give them is the permission to be ordinary. Trying to be special or to live a special life can in reality take them further and further away from better ones. It can also lead them to lose sight of the precious moments of the life they are actually living. Since I have become aware of this, I start to enjoy cooking simpler meals. I also feel much more freedom when writing this column. I feel less of a need to perform than I used to. And when I do feel that need, I can recognize it and respond differently (sometimes). At first, it might be a little bit boring to be ordinary. Now, I’ve become much more aware of the beauty of ordinary moments that I am fortunate enough to experience every day: the naughty smiles from my daughter; the funny sounds my cat makes in the middle of the night... 24.

Cocoa from the cacao tree is the basic ingredient of chocolate; the trees thrive in warm and damp climates but are struggling due to increasing aridity — a slow but non-stop drying of the land. This issue extends to producers around the globe, threatening cocoa production and livelihoods of farmers. Over the past 30 years, more than three-quarters of the Earth’s landmass has become drier. This dryness is a long-term transformation with disastrous consequences for ecosystems, agriculture, and livelihoods. Aridity arises from human-driven factors, including greenhouse gas emissions, unsustainable land use, and natural resource degradation. Climate change, primarily caused by fossil fuel consumption and deforestation, increases global temperatures, accelerating evaporation (蒸发) and heightening water shortage — even in regions with moderate rainfall. Unsustainable land use further intensifies aridity. Practices like deforestation and industrial farming degrade soils, removing them from protective vegetation and essential nutrients. In cocoa-producing regions, deforestation upsets local water cycles and wears away the topsoil. Degraded soils hold less water, deepening drought conditions. Cocoa is just one crop at risk. Major agricultural zones are also affected. By 2100, up to 5 billion people may live in dry lands, stretching food systems to their limit and forcing migration. Aridity also threatens ecosystems. Wildlife struggles to adapt, and plant species suited to warm and damp conditions fail to survive. Economic losses are overwhelming — Africa saw a 12% GDP decline from 1990 to 2015 due to rising aridity. Governments face additional burdens from sandstorms, wildfires, and water shortages. While aridity’s effects are severe, they are not entirely changeless. Restoring degraded lands, improving soil health, and adopting sustainable farming practices can help. Efficient water management, investment in renewable energy, and international cooperation are essential in battling aridity. As chocolate prices hit record highs in early 2025 due to dry conditions in Africa, addressing aridity is a matter of urgency. Beyond saving chocolate, it’s about preserving the planet’s ability to sustain life. 28. What’s the main reason for the rising price of chocolate? A. The decline of cocoa production. B. The high cost of basic ingredients. C. The increasing demand for chocolate. D. The shortage of cocoa tree plantations. 29. What do we know about aridity? A. It is mainly caused by natural factors. B. It only affects cocoa-producing regions. C. It has a wide-ranging impact on various aspects. D. It will disappear if sustainable land use is adopted. 30. Why is Africa’s GDP decline mentioned in paragraph 5? A. To show aridity only causes economic losses in Africa. B. To prove Africa is the most severely affected by aridity. C. To criticize Africa lacks effective measures against aridity. D. To illustrate aridity has a significant influence on economy. 31. Which of the following can fight against aridity? A. Cutting off water supplies. B. Replacing renewable energy. C. Promoting soil conservation. D. Practicing industrial farming. D New era requires a new vocabulary. Will we still talk about the “mobile” phone when all phones are mobile, or when they are implanted within us? Technology is everywhere nowadays, especially at work. Some people are really good at using all the cool new tools that keep popping up. They have something called a TQ, or technology quotient. Think of it like a superpower for understanding the latest tech stuff that our great-grandparents would have found really impossible. Having a high TQ means you’re good at using all the cool new things that not everyone knows about yet. The examples are common and becoming more and more frequent. For the parents it might be a home-school video class. For the brand manager it might be search engine boosting, which helps the brand’s content rank higher in search results. And for the doctor, it might be the role of artificial intelligence in supporting the analysis of a CT scan. TQ tries to quantify our ability to make wise use of present technologies and to quickly adapt, embrace and make use of future creations. This adoption is of great importance from a variety of perspectives, from social to business. One trip into the world of ChatGPT and we can see how the way AI and search interact and operate is changing for just about everyone. Any Mom or Dad can understand the value of IQ and EQ in predicting the potential for a child’s success. But what about technology? The ability for the child and the teacher to understand, embrace and assimilate technology will be a key aspect of their lives as we speed into the future. We are increasingly defined by technology and our active participation in everything from smartphones to Facebook. It might just be time for the basic human needs of food, water and shelter to include technology too. And when that happens, it just might be a good idea to measure it. While this shift brings challenges, it’s unstoppable. As TQ rises, it will combine with IQ and EQ, reshaping how we live, work, and learn — turning adaptability with tech into a measurable advantage. 32. What is TQ according to the text? A. Ability to use new technologies. B. Skill of repairing high-tech products. C. Talent to follow modern changes. D. Speed of learning new languages. 33. Which of the following people has a high TQ? A. A doctor who analyzes CT scans with AI assistance. B. A manager who often uses modern search engines. C. A grandparent who finds new tech devices challenging. D. A mom who watches videos of her child’s school life. 34. What does the underlined word “assimilate” in the fourth paragraph mean? A. Depend on. B. Take in. C. Lie in. D. Insist on. 35. What might be the best title for the passage? A. Why Are IQ and EQ Important for TQ? B. What Makes TQ the New Intelligence? C. How Has TQ Changed in the Modern Era? D. Where to Start Adapting to TQ Changes? 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，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。 Every day, we speak to and spend time with the people who mean the most to us. However, think about how many people you interact with in a typical week are the ones you wouldn’t consider as close connections. ____36____. In sociology, these are known as our “weak ties”, referred to as such to differentiate them from our strong ties, like close friends and family members. ____37____. For example, if you spoke about your job hunt to a group of close friends, they might only be aware of the same job opportunities as you because you move in the same circles. However, mentioning it to an acquaintance, like a regular waiter, connects you to people outside your own social circle, which can provide unexpected job opportunities. “Weak ties can serve special functions not served by close ties, including providing access to unique information and resources,” says Susan Sprecher, distinguished professor at Illinois State University. “Additionally, many people interact with more weak ties throughout a day than they do with close ties. ____38____.” Indeed, weak ties can give us a real mental health boost. A recent study done by Sprecher indicated people with wider connections of weak ties tend to be happier. ____39____. They reported feeling more happiness and greater feelings of belonging on days when they interacted with more classmates than usual. Given they have such a strong impact on our lives, why not create weak ties? ____40____. Often, this will mean going outside and speaking to people, whether it’s those you pass in the street, who serve you in shops, or with whom you share a class. A. The research involved students B. You find yourself in a better mood C. We just need to engage with other people D. Weak ties can have a smaller effect than you might think E. This diverse social network is related with good health and well-being F. For example, you chat with the guys who regularly serve you at the store G. Strong ties tend to form closed social groups with limited new information 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。 I used to be a writer and editor.

I always enjoyed long journeys in my father’s car with my family. However, things went different that time. We were moving to a new town, not for any tourist destination, but to settle down, for my father had a new job there. My mother, sitting on the passenger seat in the front, was talking with my father. She looked excited for the coming new life. But I was down, feeling nervous about starting a new school life. Entering a new school meant adapting to a completely different environment and meeting new classmates and teachers, which I was not good at. On my first day at the new school, I felt lost and out of place. The students already knew each other well, and they chatted happily during breaks. I missed my old friends terribly and wished I could go back to my old school. Feeling lonely. I often spent time alone during breaks and after classes, reading books in the library or drawing pictures in the art room. I missed the good days I had with my old friends and longed for that sense of belonging. As the days went by, I still found it hard to fit in. I was shy and found it difficult to strike up conversations with my classmates. Some of the kids in my class noticed my discomfort and tried to be friendly, but I couldn’t shake off the feeling of being an outsider. I only had words with my desk mate, Alex, when necessary. Things took a turn for the worse when I knocked off Alex’s water bottle by accident, although I picked up the bottle immediately and apologized to him. He got mad at me and seemed not to forgive me. Soon I found we were avoiding each other. 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. However, I was assigned to pair up with Alex to design a poster. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Alex proudly introduced that the fantastic picture was drawn by me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $英语试卷第一部分听力注意回答听力部分时，请先将答案标在试卷上。听力部分结束前，你将有两分钟的时间将你的答案转涂到答题卡上。第一节听下面五段录音，每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题，每段录音播放两遍。听下面的录音，回答第一小题。will you volunteer at the city nursing home this weekend?
