My teacher’s claim that no one would score above 90% shook my confidence. This anxiety was multiplied at home, where my father voiced his concerns over my flat SAT progress, a necessity for a celebrated university. The final catalyst for my breakdown was an unexpected rejection from the Regional Red Cross Youth Council. As vice president of my school’s chapter, I had never considered this possibility. The Red Cross was my passion and what I relied on to set me apart from other applicants. This rejection made my future seem dark, and I broke like a rubber band stretched beyond its limit. I found my mother, the woman who had sacrificed (牺牲) her own career and life for my opportunities and poured out my fears. She listened attentively before drawing a circle on the tablecloth. “This is your time,” she began, “eighty percent is schoolwork, ten percent the SAT, and ten percent extracurriculars.” She then looked at me with deep emotion and said, “But most importantly, at one hundred percent, is your mental health.” “Nothing is more important than your health,” she continued, “We want you to have a good job so you’ll be less stressed. If this path makes you so unhappy, it isn’t worth it. If you’re happier flipping burgers, so be it.” Her insight was a big relief. I realized a rubber band doesn’t have to keep stretching. A rubber band that wraps around your hair during the day and is allowed to rest on your nightstand at night won’t ever break. Though my routine remained the same — studying hard and pursuing excellence — my perspective was forever changed. The fear of failure lost its power, I am still reaching for the moon, but I am no longer afraid. For I know that if I miss, I will land right in my mother’s arms. 4. Why does the author mention her experiences in paragraph 1? A. To prove the difficulty of IB programs. B. To highlight her great academic pressure. C. To show the necessity of a good university. D. To complain about her strict teacher and father. 5. What does the underlined word “catalyst” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Cause. B. Symbol. C. Solution. D. Foundation. 6. From the author’s rubber band metaphor, we can infer that ________. A. flexibility is her most valued quality B. timely relaxation is essential to avoid breaking C. constant stretching leads to better performance D. success requires working under extreme pressure 7. What gives the author the courage to “reach for the moon” without fear? A. Her mastery of effective learning methods. B. Her final acceptance of her academic talent. C. Her mother’s unconditional love and support. D. Her realization of the importance of a flexible schedule. C At any bus stop or in a queue, most people couldn’t help keeping their heads down, scrolling (滚屏) on their phones. But studies suggest that if you resist that urge and let your mind wander instead, you may gain some surprising benefits. We seem to do anything to avoid being alone with our thoughts. Social psychology professor Erin Westgate compares the common mindless scrolling to “brain candy” which offers temporary pleasure, yet is of little meaning. She adds that what is of real meaning is high-order thinking leading to human achievements. Many people fear boredom, but this fear is often overstated. In a 2022 study conducted by Murayama, university students were asked to sit alone for 20 minutes with nothing to do but think. Though they had expected the wait to be unbearable, most ended up enjoying it far more than predicted — finding the empty time just as pleasant as scrolling on a phone would have made it. We badly underestimate how rewarding it can be to simply follow our own thoughts. Mind-wandering is a distinct human gift that boosts learning. In one study, Vékony and her colleagues(2023) found that when learners’ minds wandered, their brains slipped into brief, sleep-like “offline” moments. In these quiet pauses, freshly learned material was strengthened and allowed to take root. Mind-wandering is also key to problem-solving. People often find solutions better after unfocused thinking than intentional effort alone, especially during routine tasks like driving or showering. Even when people are not actively thinking, their brains remain active in a so-called default mode (默认模式), allowing ideas to connect in new ways. It’s especially helpful for complex problems. Daydreaming boosts social and emotional connections too. A study found that imagining pleasant interactions with loved ones made people feel closer. Social daydreaming allows individuals to practice conversations, reflect on past interactions, and prepare for future social situations. Murayama says he now tries to resist checking his phone during short waits and lets his thoughts wander. He finds that simply entertaining oneself mentally can be both satisfying and meaningful. 8. Why is mindless phone scrolling compared to “brain candy”? A. It does harm to the brain over time. B. It replaces higher-order thinking. C. It pleases us instantly but lacks meaning. D. It tastes sweet but is extremely hard to give up. 9. Why does the author mention the 2022 study? A. To reveal the pleasure of daydreaming. B. To show the fear of boredom is exaggerated. C. To state that the fear of boredom is common. D. To highlight the limits of mindless scrolling. 10. What does paragraph 5 imply about the “default mode”? A. Unfocused thinking sparks ideas. B. Intentional effort brings new ideas. C. Complex tasks require active minds. D. Routines involve little brain activity. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Stay Focused in the Age of Smartphones. B. Rediscover the Joy of Being Truly Alone. C. Unlock the Power of Your Wandering Mind. D. Uncover the Hidden Benefits of Social Daydreaming. D Throughout history, trees have played a crucial role in maintaining ecological balance. They absorb CO2 and transform it into oxygen. But one of the challenges with this traditional carbon absorption is that the CO2 trees store can be released back into the atmosphere when they die. However, the discovery of certain trees in Kenya adds a new dimension to this natural process. These trees, also found in several other countries, have been observed to transform CO2 into calcium oxalate. Then bacteria present in the trees and surrounding soil transform it further into calcium carbonate (碳酸钙), a primary component of limestone and chalk. The unique process ensures that the CO2 is kept in solid form for much longer, even after the tree’s life ends. This finding was emphasized by Mike Rowley from the University of Zurich at the Goldschmidt Conference. While the scientific community is optimistic about these findings, several challenges remain. The primary concern is determining the exact amount of CO2 that these trees can transform throughout their lifetime. Without this accurate data, it is challenging to assess the full impact of this method globally. Understanding the ecological balance and ensuring the preservation of biodiversity are crucial before worldwide planting of these trees. Cooperative research efforts are needed to explore these aspects and develop a comprehensive strategy for using these trees as a natural solution to climate change. This discovery in Kenya invites us to reconsider the potential of natural processes in addressing environmental challenges. While technological solutions to climate change are vital, integrating natural methods offers an alternative approach. The unique ability of these trees presents a promising method for exploration. The journey to fighting climate change is complex. As we dig deeper into understanding natural phenomena like the Kenyan trees, we must ask ourselves: How can we make the best of the power of nature to create a sustainable future for generations to come? 12. What is special about the trees found in Kenya? A. They help turn CO2 into solids. B. They can absorb more CO2. C. They can release oxygen quickly. D. They live in harmony with bacteria. 13. Why is the accurate data on CO2 transformation of the trees important? A. To grow more trees in Kenya quickly. B. To carry out more cooperative researches. C. To keep the ecological balance and increase biodiversity. D. To evaluate the global impact of the CO2 transformation. 14. What does the author try to explore in the last two paragraphs? A. The method of green development. B. The role of nature in climate solutions. C. The prospect of scientific approaches. D. The seriousness of global climate change. 15. What does the passage tell us? A. Kenyan trees are a natural carbon lock. B. A defensive strategy in nature is found. C. Tree planting is a key to ecological balance. D. A recent advance in CO2 research is achieved. 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。 The Happy Person’s Retreat (退让) Principle Many people regard giving in to conflicts as weakness or surrender. Yet psychologists put forward a meaningful concept: the Happy Person’s Retreat Principle. ____16____ It is a wise, rational and intelligent choice rather than timidity (怯懦). The core logic behind this principle is easy to understand. People living stable, fulfilling lives have precious things to cherish: warm families, healthy bodies, steady careers and inner peace. ____17____ In contrast, those trapped in negative lives have little to lose, so they tend to argue fiercely over trivial things and risk everything to win a fight. ____18____ Imagine you encounter a rude fight on the road. If you choose to fight back angrily, you may get caught in a fierce argument or even physical conflict. The momentary sense of victory will cost you your good mood, precious time and even personal safety. However, stepping back calmly helps you skip unnecessary trouble immediately. This principle never means blind tolerance for all unfair treatment. ____19____ When your basic rights, personal safety or moral bottom line are seriously violated, you have every reason to defend yourself firmly. Retreat only works when the conflict is meaningless and brings no positive value to your life. Learning to apply this psychological rule brings lasting benefits. It saves you from endless emotional consumption and keeps your inner world peaceful. ____20____ True happiness lies in guarding your own happy life instead of winning every meaningless dispute. A. Here is a typical daily example to illustrate this principle clearly. B. It finally allows you to focus energy on what truly matters to you. C. Many people misunderstand the real meaning of personal happiness. D. We should never give up our principles to avoid temporary conflicts. E. Blind giving-in will only encourage others to treat you improperly. F. It explains why happy people prefer to retreat from pointless conflicts. G. Getting involved in quarrels will make them lose more valuable happiness. 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。 When I was in Grade 9, I used to believe that great achievements or expensive gifts could bring the most happiness. However, a small act of kindness changed my ____21____ completely. One cold winter morning, I was in a ____22____ to get to school. I ran as fast as I could, but I still ____23____ the school bus. I stood at the bus stop, shivering in the wind and feeling ____24____. I had no money for a taxi, and my parents had already left for work. I was afraid I would be late for class and get into ____25____. Just then, an old man who sold breakfast nearby ____26____ me. He walked over and asked, “Young man, are you OK? You look worried.” I told him my ____27____. Without thinking twice, he took out some change and said, “Here’s the ____28____ for the next bus. Hurry up, or you’ll be late.” I was ____29____ and refused at first. But he smiled and insisted, “Don’t worry about paying me back. Just pass the kindness on when you can.” I thanked him ____30____ and took the money. I caught the bus on time and got to school ____31____ the bell rang. Since that day, I have never forgotten the old man’s ____32____. I began to notice small acts of ____33____ around me: a classmate sharing an umbrella on a rainy day, a stranger holding the door for me, or a teacher staying late to help me with my homework. These small moments are simple, but they ____34____ my heart with warmth. Now I understand that true happiness does not always come from big things. It lives in small, kind acts that connect people. Even the smallest kindness can ____35____ someone’s whole day. When we give warmth to others, we also receive happiness in return. 21. A. habit B. emotion C. mind D. mood 22. A. hurry B. mess C. choice D. temper 23. A. passed B. entered C. followed D. missed 24. A. useless B. helpless C. careless D. meaningless 25. A. danger B. trouble C. fear D. silence 26.

A. deeply B. suddenly C. carefully D. patiently 31. A. after B. since C. before D. until 32. A. stories B. words C. presents D. wishes 33. A. politeness B. sadness C. happiness D. kindness 34. A. agree B. fill C. cover D. argue 35. A. wake up B. take up C. light up D. make up 第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 School Bamboo Weaving Courses A school has offered students bamboo-weaving after-school courses ____36____ (spread) traditional Chinese craft culture.

I nodded my head and said in a low voice, “Yes, sir.” What a mistake I had made! I had completed my math homework. But when I headed for school, I forgot to put it into my schoolbag. Now my homework is still lying on the desk at home. “You will have a get a zero then,” math teacher said. I was shocked. I had never received a zero in a math class before. But the school had rules, and the teacher had to let everyone follow them. I was immediately worried about my final math average, which was based on my homework and the tests. Would I get a C or even a D at the end of the term? If so, what should I do? My next class was a gym class. During that gym class, my mind was affected by the math homework and I was worried about my final math average. So I failed to devote my attention to my gym teacher, Ms. Brown’s direction.

To complain about her strict teacher and father. 5. What does the underlined word “catalyst” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Cause. B. Symbol. C. Solution. D. Foundation. 6. From the author’s rubber band metaphor, we can infer that ________. A. flexibility is her most valued quality B. timely relaxation is essential to avoid breaking C. constant stretching leads to better performance D. success requires working under extreme pressure 7. What gives the author the courage to “reach for the moon” without fear? A. Her mastery of effective learning methods. B. Her final acceptance of her academic talent. C. Her mother’s unconditional love and support. D. Her realization of the importance of a flexible schedule. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了作者在IB课程、SAT考试和课外活动等多重压力下崩溃，母亲的开导让她重新找回勇气和希望的故事。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“The unforgiving demands of the IB program became my reality on the third day of school with an extremely strict physics lab. My teacher’s claim that no one would score above 90% shook my confidence. This anxiety was multiplied at home, where my father voiced his concerns over my flat SAT progress, a necessity for a celebrated university. (国际文凭课程严苛的要求，在开学第三天，就因一堂极其严格的物理实验课而成为我的现实。老师断言没有人能拿到90分以上的成绩，这动摇了我的信心。回到家，父亲对我停滞不前的SAT成绩（进入名牌大学的必要条件）表示担忧，更加剧了我的焦虑)”可知，作者提到这些经历是为了突出她巨大的学业压力。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“The final catalyst for my breakdown was an unexpected rejection from the Regional Red Cross Youth Council. (我崩溃的最终catalyst是来自地区红十字青年委员会的一次意外的拒绝)”和“The Red Cross was my passion and what I relied on to set me apart from other applicants. This rejection made my future seem dark, and I broke like a rubber band stretched beyond its limit.(红十字会是我的热情所在，也是我赖以区别于其他申请者的支柱。这次拒绝让我的未来一片黯淡，我就像一根被拉伸到极限的橡皮筋一样，彻底崩溃了)”可知，因为被红十字青年委员会拒绝，作者彻底崩溃了，说明“被拒绝”是作者崩溃的“诱因”，划线词与“Cause”同义。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中“I realized a rubber band doesn’t have to keep stretching. A rubber band that wraps around your hair during the day and is allowed to rest on your nightstand at night won’t ever break. (我意识到橡皮筋不必一直拉伸。白天缠在头发上、晚上被允许放在床头柜上休息的橡皮筋永远不会断裂)”可推知，橡皮筋需要适当放松，人也是如此，适时放松对于避免崩溃是必要的。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The fear of failure lost its power, I am still reaching for the moon, but I am no longer afraid. For I know that if I miss, I will land right in my mother’s arms.(对失败的恐惧失去了它的力量。我仍在追寻月亮，但我不再害怕。因为我知道，如果我没能触及，我会正好落在母亲的怀里)”可知，母亲无条件的爱和支持给了作者无畏追求的勇气。 C At any bus stop or in a queue, most people couldn’t help keeping their heads down, scrolling (滚屏) on their phones. But studies suggest that if you resist that urge and let your mind wander instead, you may gain some surprising benefits. We seem to do anything to avoid being alone with our thoughts. Social psychology professor Erin Westgate compares the common mindless scrolling to “brain candy” which offers temporary pleasure, yet is of little meaning. She adds that what is of real meaning is high-order thinking leading to human achievements. Many people fear boredom, but this fear is often overstated. In a 2022 study conducted by Murayama, university students were asked to sit alone for 20 minutes with nothing to do but think. Though they had expected the wait to be unbearable, most ended up enjoying it far more than predicted — finding the empty time just as pleasant as scrolling on a phone would have made it. We badly underestimate how rewarding it can be to simply follow our own thoughts. Mind-wandering is a distinct human gift that boosts learning. In one study, Vékony and her colleagues(2023) found that when learners’ minds wandered, their brains slipped into brief, sleep-like “offline” moments. In these quiet pauses, freshly learned material was strengthened and allowed to take root. Mind-wandering is also key to problem-solving. People often find solutions better after unfocused thinking than intentional effort alone, especially during routine tasks like driving or showering. Even when people are not actively thinking, their brains remain active in a so-called default mode (默认模式), allowing ideas to connect in new ways. It’s especially helpful for complex problems. Daydreaming boosts social and emotional connections too. A study found that imagining pleasant interactions with loved ones made people feel closer. Social daydreaming allows individuals to practice conversations, reflect on past interactions, and prepare for future social situations. Murayama says he now tries to resist checking his phone during short waits and lets his thoughts wander. He finds that simply entertaining oneself mentally can be both satisfying and meaningful. 8. Why is mindless phone scrolling compared to “brain candy”? A. It does harm to the brain over time. B. It replaces higher-order thinking. C. It pleases us instantly but lacks meaning. D. It tastes sweet but is extremely hard to give up. 9. Why does the author mention the 2022 study? A. To reveal the pleasure of daydreaming. B. To show the fear of boredom is exaggerated. C. To state that the fear of boredom is common. D. To highlight the limits of mindless scrolling. 10. What does paragraph 5 imply about the “default mode”? A. Unfocused thinking sparks ideas. B. Intentional effort brings new ideas. C. Complex tasks require active minds. D. Routines involve little brain activity. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Stay Focused in the Age of Smartphones. B. Rediscover the Joy of Being Truly Alone. C. Unlock the Power of Your Wandering Mind. D. Uncover the Hidden Benefits of Social Daydreaming. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了人们习惯刷手机逃避独处思考的现状，通过多项研究证明，放空走神、思绪漫游并非浪费时间，反而能够巩固所学知识、解决难题、增进情感联结，拥有诸多隐藏益处。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第二段“Social psychology professor Erin Westgate compares the common mindless scrolling to “brain candy” which offers temporary pleasure, yet is of little meaning.(社会心理学教授Erin Westgate将常见的无意识刷手机行为比作“大脑糖果”，它只能带来短暂的愉悦，却毫无实质意义。)”可知，无意识刷手机即时取悦大脑但缺乏内涵，因此被比作“大脑糖果”。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第三段“Many people fear boredom, but this fear is often overstated. In a 2022 study conducted by Murayama, university students were asked to sit alone for 20 minutes with nothing to do but think. Though they had expected the wait to be unbearable, most ended up enjoying it far more than predicted (许多人惧怕无聊，但这种恐惧往往被夸大了。Murayama开展了一项2022年的研究，实验要求大学生独自静坐20分钟，全程只能放空思考。尽管他们原本以为这段煎熬的时光难以忍受，但绝大多数人最后发现，独处思考远比自己预想的要愉悦得多)”可知，作者列举2022年的研究，是为了证明人们对无聊、放空独处的恐惧是言过其实的。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第五段“Even when people are not actively thinking, their brains remain active in a so-called default mode, allowing ideas to connect in new ways.(即使人们没有主动思考，大脑仍会在所谓的默认模式下保持活跃，让想法以全新的方式产生联结。)”可知，非专注的放空思考能够激发新思路、产生新想法。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据原文第一段“But studies suggest that if you resist that urge and let your mind wander instead, you may gain some surprising benefits.(但多项研究表明，如果你克制住刷手机的冲动，转而放空思绪、任由大脑自由漫游，你或许能收获一些意想不到的益处。)”并通读全文可知，文章层层阐述思绪漫游、放空走神在学习记忆、解决问题、社交情绪等方面的多重积极作用，核心是挖掘并介绍大脑放空思考的强大力量；因此最佳标题为“解锁思绪漫游的力量”。 D Throughout history, trees have played a crucial role in maintaining ecological balance. They absorb CO2 and transform it into oxygen. But one of the challenges with this traditional carbon absorption is that the CO2 trees store can be released back into the atmosphere when they die. However, the discovery of certain trees in Kenya adds a new dimension to this natural process. These trees, also found in several other countries, have been observed to transform CO2 into calcium oxalate. Then bacteria present in the trees and surrounding soil transform it further into calcium carbonate (碳酸钙), a primary component of limestone and chalk. The unique process ensures that the CO2 is kept in solid form for much longer, even after the tree’s life ends. This finding was emphasized by Mike Rowley from the University of Zurich at the Goldschmidt Conference. While the scientific community is optimistic about these findings, several challenges remain. The primary concern is determining the exact amount of CO2 that these trees can transform throughout their lifetime. Without this accurate data, it is challenging to assess the full impact of this method globally. Understanding the ecological balance and ensuring the preservation of biodiversity are crucial before worldwide planting of these trees. Cooperative research efforts are needed to explore these aspects and develop a comprehensive strategy for using these trees as a natural solution to climate change. This discovery in Kenya invites us to reconsider the potential of natural processes in addressing environmental challenges. While technological solutions to climate change are vital, integrating natural methods offers an alternative approach. The unique ability of these trees presents a promising method for exploration. The journey to fighting climate change is complex. As we dig deeper into understanding natural phenomena like the Kenyan trees, we must ask ourselves: How can we make the best of the power of nature to create a sustainable future for generations to come? 12. What is special about the trees found in Kenya? A. They help turn CO2 into solids. B. They can absorb more CO2. C. They can release oxygen quickly. D. They live in harmony with bacteria. 13. Why is the accurate data on CO2 transformation of the trees important? A. To grow more trees in Kenya quickly. B. To carry out more cooperative researches. C. To keep the ecological balance and increase biodiversity. D. To evaluate the global impact of the CO2 transformation. 14. What does the author try to explore in the last two paragraphs? A. The method of green development. B. The role of nature in climate solutions. C. The prospect of scientific approaches. D. The seriousness of global climate change. 15. What does the passage tell us? A. Kenyan trees are a natural carbon lock. B. A defensive strategy in nature is found. C. Tree planting is a key to ecological balance. D. A recent advance in CO2 research is achieved. 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，讲述了肯尼亚某些树木能将二氧化碳转化为固态钙化合物，这一能力为应对气候变化带来了新机遇。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“These trees, also found in several other countries, have been observed to transform CO2 into calcium oxalate. Then bacteria present in the trees and surrounding soil transform it further into calcium carbonate (碳酸钙), a primary component of limestone and chalk. The unique process ensures that the CO2 is kept in solid form for much longer, even after the tree’s life ends.(这些树木也在其他几个国家发现，已被观察到将二氧化碳转化为草酸钙。然后，树木和周围土壤中的细菌将其进一步转化为碳酸钙，这是石灰岩和白垩的主要成分。这一独特的过程确保二氧化碳以固体形式保持更长时间，即使在树木生命结束后也是如此。)”可知，肯尼亚的这些树能够将二氧化碳转化为草酸钙，进而由细菌转化为碳酸钙，最终成为固体被长期封存。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The primary concern is determining the exact amount of CO2 that these trees can transform throughout their lifetime. Without this accurate data, it is challenging to assess the full impact of this method globally.(人们最关心的是确定这类树木在其生命周期内可转化的二氧化碳精确量。若缺乏这一准确数据，将难以评估该方法在全球范围内的整体影响。)”可知，在全球应用这一发现前，最重要的是确定这类树木在生命周期内转化二氧化碳的精确量，以便评估这一转化过程的全球影响。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“This discovery in Kenya invites us to reconsider the potential of natural processes in addressing environmental challenges. (肯尼亚的这一发现促使我们重新思考自然过程在应对环境挑战中的潜力。)”以及最后一段中的“As we dig deeper into understanding natural phenomena like the Kenyan trees, we must ask ourselves: How can we make the best of the power of nature to create a sustainable future for generations to come?(当我们深入研究肯尼亚树木这类自然现象时，我们必须反问自己：如何充分利用自然的力量，为子孙后代创造一个可持续发展的未来？)”可推知，作者通过肯尼亚树木的发现，探讨了自然在解决气候问题中的作用。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段中的“However, the discovery of certain trees in Kenya adds a new dimension to this natural process. These trees, also found in several other countries, have been observed to transform CO2 into calcium oxalate. Then bacteria present in the trees and surrounding soil transform it further into calcium carbonate (碳酸钙), a primary component of limestone and chalk. The unique process ensures that the CO2 is kept in solid form for much longer, even after the tree’s life ends.(然而，在肯尼亚发现的一类特殊树木，为这一自然过程增添了新维度。这些树木也在其他几个国家发现，已被观察到将二氧化碳转化为草酸钙。然后，树木和周围土壤中的细菌将其进一步转化为碳酸钙，这是石灰岩和白垩的主要成分。这一独特的过程确保二氧化碳以固体形式保持更长时间，即使在树木生命结束后也是如此。)”以及全文内容可知，全文围绕肯尼亚发现的特殊树木能将二氧化碳转化为固态钙长期封存展开，先对比传统树木固碳的不足，再介绍该类树木的独特固碳过程、当前研究挑战，最后强调其对利用自然应对气候变化的意义，核心主题是肯尼亚树木的天然固碳作用。选项A“Kenyan trees are a natural carbon lock(肯尼亚树木是天然的碳锁。)”符合题意。故选A。 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。 The Happy Person’s Retreat (退让) Principle Many people regard giving in to conflicts as weakness or surrender. Yet psychologists put forward a meaningful concept: the Happy Person’s Retreat Principle. ____16____ It is a wise, rational and intelligent choice rather than timidity (怯懦). The core logic behind this principle is easy to understand. People living stable, fulfilling lives have precious things to cherish: warm families, healthy bodies, steady careers and inner peace. ____17____ In contrast, those trapped in negative lives have little to lose, so they tend to argue fiercely over trivial things and risk everything to win a fight. ____18____ Imagine you encounter a rude fight on the road. If you choose to fight back angrily, you may get caught in a fierce argument or even physical conflict. The momentary sense of victory will cost you your good mood, precious time and even personal safety. However, stepping back calmly helps you skip unnecessary trouble immediately. This principle never means blind tolerance for all unfair treatment. ____19____ When your basic rights, personal safety or moral bottom line are seriously violated, you have every reason to defend yourself firmly. Retreat only works when the conflict is meaningless and brings no positive value to your life. Learning to apply this psychological rule brings lasting benefits. It saves you from endless emotional consumption and keeps your inner world peaceful. ____20____ True happiness lies in guarding your own happy life instead of winning every meaningless dispute. A. Here is a typical daily example to illustrate this principle clearly. B. It finally allows you to focus energy on what truly matters to you. C. Many people misunderstand the real meaning of personal happiness. D. We should never give up our principles to avoid temporary conflicts. E. Blind giving-in will only encourage others to treat you improperly. F. It explains why happy people prefer to retreat from pointless conflicts. G. Getting involved in quarrels will make them lose more valuable happiness. 【答案】16. F 17. G 18. A 19. D 20. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了心理学家提出的“快乐者退让原则”（The Happy Person’s Retreat Principle），阐明了其核心逻辑、适用边界与人生智慧。 【16题详解】 前文“Yet psychologists put forward a meaningful concept: the Happy Person’s Retreat Principle.(然而，心理学家提出了一种有意义的概念：快乐者的退让原则。)”刚提出“快乐者退让原则”这一概念，空后“It is a wise, rational and intelligent choice rather than timidity (怯懦).(这是一种明智、理性且富有智慧的选择，而非怯懦。)”紧接着说“这是明智、理性、智慧的选择，而非怯懦”。F 项“It explains why happy people prefer to retreat from pointless conflicts.(这也解释了为什么快乐的人更愿意远离毫无意义的争执。)”承接概念名称，进一步阐明该原则的核心内涵，即“快乐的人为什么选择退让”，与后文对其“明智而非怯懦”的评价形成自然衔接。 【17题详解】 前文“People living stable, fulfilling lives have precious things to cherish: warm families, healthy bodies, steady careers and inner peace.(拥有稳定、充实生活的人，往往珍视一些宝贵的东西：温暖的家庭、健康的身体、稳定的职业以及内心的平静。)”说生活稳定充实的人有家庭、健康、事业、内心平静等珍贵之物要珍惜；后文“In contrast, those trapped in negative lives have little to lose, so they tend to argue fiercely over trivial things and risk everything to win a fight.(相反，那些陷入负面生活状态的人几乎没有可失去的，因此他们往往为琐碎小事激烈争执，并不惜一切代价赢得一场争吵。)”用“In contrast（相比之下）”转而说生活消极的人没什么可失去，所以容易为小事激烈争吵。G项“Getting involved in quarrels will make them lose more valuable happiness.(卷入争吵会让他们失去更多珍贵的幸福。)”正好解释了为什么生活幸福的人不愿纠缠于冲突 —— 因为争吵会让他们失去更宝贵的东西，与后文“没什么可失去的人”构成鲜明对比。 【18题详解】 空后“Imagine you encounter rude fight on the road. If you choose to fight back angrily, you may get caught in a fierce argument or even physical conflict. The momentary sense of victory will cost you your good mood, precious time and even personal safety. However, stepping back calmly helps you skip unnecessary trouble immediately.(想象一下，你在路上遇到一场粗鲁的争执。如果你选择愤怒地反击，可能会陷入激烈的争吵，甚至引发肢体冲突。短暂的胜利感将让你失去好心情、宝贵的时间，甚至个人安全。而冷静地后退，则能让你立即避免不必要的麻烦。)”整段描述了“路上遇到粗鲁的人，愤怒反击vs冷静退让”的具体场景，是一个完整的日常事例。A 项“Here is a typical daily example to illustrate this principle clearly.(以下是一个典型的日常例子，用来清晰地说明这一原则。 )”起到了引出下文例子的过渡作用，逻辑衔接紧密。 【19题详解】 前文“This principle never means blind tolerance for all unfair treatment.(这一原则并不意味着盲目容忍所有不公。)”明确指出这个原则绝不意味着盲目容忍所有不公，后文“When your basic rights, personal safety or moral bottom line are seriously violated, you have every reason to defend yourself firmly.(当你的基本权利、人身安全或道德底线受到严重侵犯时，你完全有理由坚定地捍卫自己。)”说“当基本权利、人身安全或道德底线被严重侵犯时，你完全有理由坚定自卫”。D 项“We should never give up our principles to avoid temporary conflicts.(我们绝不能为了回避暂时的冲突而放弃自己的原则。)”承上启下，既呼应了“不盲目容忍”，又强调了坚守原则的重要性，与后文“捍卫底线”的论述高度一致。 【20题详解】 前文“It saves you from endless emotional consumption and keeps your inner world peaceful.(它能避免你陷入无休止的情绪消耗，保持内心世界的平静。)”列举了退让原则的两大好处：免于无尽的情绪消耗、保持内心平静；后文“True happiness lies in guarding your own happy life instead of winning every meaningless dispute.(真正的幸福在于守护属于自己的快乐生活，而非赢得每一次毫无意义的争执。)”升华到“真正的快乐在于守护自己的幸福生活，而不是赢得每一场无意义的争论”。B 项“It finally allows you to focus energy on what truly matters to you.(它最终能让你将精力集中在真正对你重要的事情上。)”继续补充第三个好处，且“专注于真正重要的事”与后文“守护幸福生活”形成递进，逻辑连贯。 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。 When I was in Grade 9, I used to believe that great achievements or expensive gifts could bring the most happiness.

I nodded my head and said in a low voice, “Yes, sir.” What a mistake I had made! I had completed my math homework. But when I headed for school, I forgot to put it into my schoolbag. Now my homework is still lying on the desk at home. “You will have a get a zero then,” math teacher said. I was shocked. I had never received a zero in a math class before. But the school had rules, and the teacher had to let everyone follow them. I was immediately worried about my final math average, which was based on my homework and the tests. Would I get a C or even a D at the end of the term? If so, what should I do? My next class was a gym class. During that gym class, my mind was affected by the math homework and I was worried about my final math average. So I failed to devote my attention to my gym teacher, Ms. Brown’s direction. And clearly, I was sad. I guessed that Ms. Brown found there was something wrong with me. When it was near the end of the gym class, she walked to me. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为100左右； 2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: She sat down to comfort me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: I felt relaxed and decided to work harder at math. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 She sat down to comfort me. “Are you okay?” she asked. I told her about my trouble. Then Ms. Brown said to me, “We all make mistakes.” She told me what happened to her several days ago. I was surprised that she also made mistakes since I had thought she was perfect. She told me the world didn’t end because I got a zero in a math class and encouraged me to study hard. I felt relaxed and decided to work harder at math. In math classes, I paid more attention to the teacher’s lectures. After reaching home after school, I would do the math homework more carefully. And I left notes to remind me not to forget to bring my homework to school again. At the end of that term, based on my good daily performances and test scores, my final math average was an A. This experience taught me a lesson: as long as we learn from mistakes, we’re making progress. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在一次数学课上忘记带作业而得了零分，这意味着基于家庭作业和考试的期末评分会是C或D，作者很伤心，以至于在接下来的体育课上没能专心听讲，体育老师Brown夫人发现了作者有问题，所以体育课快结束的时候，她向作者走来。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“她坐下来安慰我。”可知，第一段可描写体育老师安慰鼓励作者。 ②由第二段首句内容“我感到轻松，决定更加努力地学习数学。”可知，第二段可描写作者受到鼓励后更加努力，最后数学取得了好成绩和作者的感悟。 2.续写线索：作者向老师倾诉——老师分享自己的经历鼓励作者——努力学习——取得好成绩——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①结束：end/come to an end ②鼓励：encourage/inspire ③到达：reach/get to 情绪类 ①惊讶：surprised/astonished ②轻松：relaxed/relieved 【点睛】[高分句型1] I was surprised that she also made mistakes since I had thought she was perfect.（由连接词that引导的宾语从句和since引导的原因状语从句） [高分句型2] This experience taught me a lesson: as long as we learn from mistakes, we’re making progress. （由as long as引导条件状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
