C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了IMA画廊或纽菲尔德园区为3至5岁儿童及其照顾者设计的“Wee Wonders”艺术自然探险活动，包含蜜蜂、鸟类、食物三大主题及相应绘本与手工。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“One adult is included per child ticket. Additional adults are welcome with a General Admission ticket.(每张儿童票包含一名成人。额外的成人欢迎购买普通门票参加。)”可知，每张儿童票包含一个大人陪同，其余的每个大人需购买一张普通票，所以一对夫妇和一个孩子需购买两张票。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据 October 12, 26 | Birds 部分中的 “・On October 26, we’ll read Birds by Laura Dronzek and craft a bird nest.(10 月 26 日，我们将阅读劳拉・德龙泽克的《鸟类》，并手工制作鸟巢。)” 可知，参加者在十月可以制作鸟巢。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Join us for an adventure with art and nature. Participants and their grown-ups will sing songs, read a story, and make art while exploring the IMA Galleries or The Garden at New fields. (加入我们，与艺术和自然一起冒险。参与者和他们的照顾者将在探索IMA画廊或纽菲尔德园区时唱歌、读故事和制作艺术品。)”以及三个主题分别在花园里调查蜜蜂、寻找鸟类和发现食物植物可知，这些主题的共同点是均设置了与自然相关、亲近自然的探索活动。 B In a village a few kilometres from the West Flanders coast, Nele Bekaert fetches one of several Brabant horses that her family owns. Weighing about a ton, the powerful horse is ideal for pulling a drag net to catch tiny, grey shrimp (虾) in the North Sea. Bekaert rides the horse to the seaside of Oostduinkerke, Belgium. Upon arrival, she puts on bright yellow waterproof overalls and ties ropes and a large net behind the horse. Two baskets are placed at the animal’s sides. Bekaert skillfully seats herself between the baskets. She leads the horse into the sea until the water reaches the top parts of its legs and they slowly move parallel to the coastline, causing a unique scene. A metal chain attached to the front of the net over the sand, creating “shockwaves” that cause shrimp to jump into the net, while water pressure pushes the catch to the back. After about 30 minutes, Bekaert and her “co-worker” return to shore. She empties the net, washes and sorts the catch, keeping shrimp and fish that are fully grown, while releasing the small-sized shrimp and baby crabs back into the sea. This helps maintain biodiversity and prevents the unintentional capture of non- target species. Bekaert is part of a team of 14 active horseback shrimp fishers, formerly known as East Dunkirk Horse Fishers. Each year in Oostduinkerke, they give 36 public demonstrations and participate in a Shrimp Festival, events funded by the government to keep the craft alive. Nowadays, the old-fashioned method has been entirely replaced by commercial development except in Oostduinkerke. That is thanks to former mayor (市长) Honoré Loones, who saved horseback shrimp fishing from extinction in 1950 by making it a tourist attraction with the first Shrimp Festival. The craft has been supported by the government ever since. The East Dunkirk Horse Fishers play a vital role in promoting the craft. Members travel for demonstrations at events across Europe. “The tradition is very important,” Bekaert notes. “I’m happy to help preserve and share it.” 4. What makes Bekaert’s shrimp fishing unusual? A. Her fishing on horseback. B. Her plastic fishing net. C. Her protective equipment. D. Her fishing off the coast. 5. Which word can best describe Bekaert’s method of sorting the catch? A. Labor-saving. B. Profit-oriented. C. Sustainable. D. Efficient. 6. Why do the shrimp fishers give so many public demonstrations? A. To work hard to survive. B. To pass down the ancient fishing skill. C. To raise funds for the government. D. To commercialize the Shrimp Festival. 7. What can we infer about horseback shrimp fishing? A. It is expected to die out soon. B. It boosts the global tourism industry. C. It faced extinction in the past. D. It has threatened commercial fishing. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文通过跟随一位捕虾人，看她当天的渔获情况，介绍了北海沿岸历史悠久的骑马捕虾传统，这种古老的捕捞方法除了在Oostduinkerke之外，在其他地方几乎已经消失了。社区和政府的认可使这种做法得以延续。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Bekaert skillfully seats herself between the baskets. She leads the horse into the sea until the water reaches the top parts of its legs and they slowly move parallel to the coastline, causing a unique scene.(Bekaert灵巧地坐在篮子之间。她将马儿引向大海，直到海水淹没马腿的上部，它们缓缓与海岸线平行移动，形成了一幅独特的景象)”可知，Bekaert捕虾的方式之所以独特是因为她骑在马背上捕虾。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段内容“She empties the net, washes and sorts the catch, keeping shrimp and fish that are fully grown, while releasing the small-sized shrimp and baby crabs back into the sea. This helps maintain biodiversity and prevents the unintentional capture of non-target species.(她将网中的渔获倒出，清洗并分类，保留完全成熟的虾和鱼，同时将体型较小的虾和幼蟹放回海中。这有助于维持生物多样性，并防止意外捕获非目标物种)”可知，Bekaert在捕捞时只留下那些完全长成的鱼和虾。其他小虾和小蟹放归大海，这有助于维持生物多样性，是一种可持续的渔获分类方式。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Each year in Oostduinkerke, they give 36 public demonstrations and participate in a Shrimp Festival, events funded by the government to keep the craft alive.(每年在Oostduinkerke，他们都会举办36场面向公众的骑马捕虾技艺演示，并参加捕虾节，这些活动由政府资助，以维持这项手工艺的传承)”和最后一段中““The tradition is very important,” Bekaert notes. “I’m happy to help preserve and share it.”(“传统非常重要，”Bekaert指出，“我很乐意帮助保护和传承它。”)”可知，Bekaert和其他的渔民们每年进行多场马背捕虾表演的目的是延续这种古老的传统。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中“That is thanks to former mayor (市长) Honoré Loones, who saved horseback shrimp fishing from extinction in 1950 by making it a tourist attraction with the first Shrimp Festival.(这要归功于前市长Honoré Loones，他在1950年通过举办第一届虾节使骑马捕虾成为旅游景点，从而使其免于灭绝。)”可知，这要感谢前任市长洛内斯，他在1950年创办了第一届虾节，使马背捕虾成为一个旅游热点，免于灭绝。这说明在过去马背捕虾曾面临灭绝的风险。 C Researchers from Edith Cowan University (ECU) in Western Australia examined data from more than 179,000 UK Biobank participants, looking at their intake of the two main forms of dietary vitamin K: vitamin K1 — which is found mainly in leafy green vegetables — and vitamin K2, found in foods such as meats, eggs and dairy. “We saw a clearer association between higher vitamin K1 intake and lower Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) (慢性阻塞性肺病) risk, as well as better lung function,” lead author Chengfeng Li said. Over an average follow-up period of 10.5 years, 3,135 participants developed COPD, which is an umbrella term for progressive lung diseases, including emphysema and chronic bronchitis that make it increasingly difficult to breathe. “It’s possible that vitamin K1 itself contributes to the observed associations, but it’s also likely that it works as part of a broader healthy dietary pattern”, Li said. It can’t prove that eating leafy greens directly prevents COPD. People who eat more leafy greens may also exercise more, smoke less, have higher incomes, eat less processed food, or have other health behaviors that lower disease risk. The study also found that the association between higher K1 intake and better lung function appeared stronger in smokers and people working in high-risk occupations, such as jobs involving dust or fumes. That could suggest vitamin K1-rich diets are particularly helpful when the lungs are under greater stress, but the researchers are careful not to oversell the finding. “I would not want readers to think that eating greens can prevent or treat COPD on its own,” said Li. “The most important message for lung health remains to avoid smoking, and reduce harmful occupational or environmental exposure where possible.” Still, the findings add to growing evidence that diet may play a meaningful supporting role in lung health. The amount of vitamin K1 associated with better outcomes was achievable through diet: roughly one extra serve of leafy greens could be enough to boost intake. 8. What do we know about vitamin K1? A. It works better with vitamin K2. B. It exists in both plant and animal foods. C. It can completely prevent COPD. D. It is mainly obtained from leafy greens. 9. What does Li mean by saying that “it works as part of a broader healthy dietary pattern”? A. Vitamin K1 is not a key element. B. There is a need for diversity in diet. C. A healthy diet should be redefined. D. Vitamin K1 may not be acting alone. 10. Which groups can get greater help from vitamin K1-rich diets? A. Non-smokers who eat vegetables. B. Groups already at high risk of lung damage. C. Non-smokers with high pressure. D. Groups who grow up in a good environment. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Effective ways to improve lung health B. Major functions of vitamin K1 in diets C. Leafy greens linked to better lung health D. How to reduce the risk of lung disease 【答案】8. D 9. D 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要说明了澳大利亚研究分析17.9万受试者数据，发现摄入更多维生素K1（绿叶菜）与更低COPD风险、更好肺功能相关，该效果在肺部高危人群更显著，但绿叶菜不能单独防治肺病。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Researchers from Edith Cowan University (ECU) in Western Australia examined data from more than 179,000 UK Biobank participants, looking at their intake of the two main forms of dietary vitamin K: vitamin K1 — which is found mainly in leafy green vegetables — and vitamin K2, found in foods such as meats, eggs and dairy.(来自西澳大利亚州伊迪丝·考恩大学（ECU）的研究人员分析了超过17.9万名英国生物银行参与者的数据，研究他们摄入两种主要膳食维生素K的情况：维生素K1，主要存在于绿叶蔬菜中；以及维生素K2，主要存在于肉类、鸡蛋和乳制品等食物中)”可知，维生素K1主要来自绿叶蔬菜。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“It’s possible that vitamin K1 itself contributes to the observed associations, but it’s also likely that it works as part of a broader healthy dietary pattern(维生素K1本身可能与观察到的关联有关，但也很可能它只是更广泛健康饮食模式的一部分)”可知，李所说的“作为更广泛的健康饮食模式的一部分而发挥作用”意思是维生素K1可能并非单独起作用。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The study also found that the association between higher K1 intake and better lung function appeared stronger in smokers and people working in high-risk occupations, such as jobs involving dust or fumes.(研究还发现，吸烟者以及从事粉尘或烟雾相关高风险职业的人群中，维生素K1摄入量更高与肺功能改善之间的关联更为显著)”可知，已经存在高肺部损伤风险的人群可以从富含维生素K1的饮食中获得更大帮助。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Researchers from Edith Cowan University (ECU) in Western Australia examined data from more than 179,000 UK Biobank participants, looking at their intake of the two main forms of dietary vitamin K: vitamin K1 — which is found mainly in leafy green vegetables — and vitamin K2, found in foods such as meats, eggs and dairy.(来自西澳大利亚州伊迪丝·考恩大学（ECU）的研究人员分析了超过17.9万名英国生物银行参与者的数据，研究他们摄入两种主要膳食维生素K的情况：维生素K1，主要存在于绿叶蔬菜中；以及维生素K2，主要存在于肉类、鸡蛋和乳制品等食物中)”结合文章主要说明了澳大利亚研究分析17.9万受试者数据，发现摄入更多维生素K1（绿叶菜）与更低COPD风险、更好肺功能相关，该效果在肺部高危人群更显著，但绿叶菜不能单独防治肺病。可知，C选项“叶类蔬菜与更好的肺部健康相关”最符合文章标题。 D In Hawaii, researchers are literally paving the roads with good intentions. They have come up with an innovative method for putting the island’s plastic pollution to work, covering its roads with asphalt (沥青) mixed with plastic waste. While plastic paving initiatives are happening in places like Missouri and Texas, the project in Hawaii is the first to use marine waste. It is designed to solve the islands’ unique exposure to discarded fishing gear, tourist waste and the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, which completely covers the island chain every few years. To date, 90 tons of plastic trash have been removed from the Pacific Ocean. One key question is whether wear and tear on that pavement might release microplastics into the environment. Initial results show that the asphalt remains largely undamaged, researchers reported on March 22 at the American Chemical Society meeting. “We’re extremely concerned about the releasing of plastics or other chemicals into the environment, because this can expose humans and animals to toxic plastic additives, leading to a series of health problems,” says chemist Jennifer Lynch. The team used a variety of methods to simulate how microplastics would normally be released into the ecosystem, for example, simulating stormwater by pouring pure water onto the road, then sweeping the roads to collect gravel (砂砾) dust to look for microplastics. “There wasn’t significant microplastic release compared with the road with no plastic mixed into the asphalt,” says Jennifer. Bill Buttlar, director of the Innovation Lab at the University of Missouri, says he’s impressed with the program but notes that the challenges with road performance in Hawaii are different from those in the mainland United States. The tropical climate with its heavy rains and volcanism faces underground volatility (波动), and when the ground is constantly shifting, it can cause road cracking. “The main challenge to scaling this is getting the recipe right with the asphalt because what works in Hawaii may be a little different than what works in the Midwest,” Buttlar says. 12. What does the author point out at the beginning of the text? A. Marine pollution is increasingly serious. B. Plastic waste can be used to pave roads. C. Asphalt can be environmentally friendly. D. Plastic is an excellent building material. 13. What does the underlined word “toxic” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Complicated. B. Flexible. C. Rough. D. Poisonous. 14. Why did the team collect the gravel dust? A. To keep the roads clean. B. To examine the road stability. C. To test it for microplastics. D. To remove the underlying risks. 15. What challenges the road performance in Hawaii? A. Climatic and geological conditions. B. The large construction scale. C. New chemicals mixed in the asphalt. D. Land surface temperature changes. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了夏威夷研究人员利用海洋塑料垃圾与沥青混合铺设道路的创新方法，并探讨了微塑料释放风险及当地道路性能挑战。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“They have come up with an innovative method for putting the island’s plastic pollution to work, covering its roads with asphalt (沥青) mixed with plastic waste. (他们想出了一种创新的方法，将岛上的塑料污染利用起来，用混合了塑料垃圾的沥青铺设道路)”可知，作者在文章开头指出塑料垃圾可以被用来铺路。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中“because this can expose humans and animals to toxic plastic additives, leading to a series of health problems (因为这可能使人类和动物接触到toxic塑料添加剂，导致一系列健康问题)”可知，能导致健康问题的添加剂必然是有毒的。故划线词toxic意为“有毒的”，与“Poisonous”同义。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“The team used a variety of methods to simulate how microplastics would normally be released into the ecosystem, for example, simulating stormwater by pouring pure water onto the road, then sweeping the roads to collect gravel (砂砾) dust to look for microplastics.(该团队使用了多种方法来模拟微塑料通常如何被释放到生态系统中，例如，通过将纯净水倒在路面上来模拟雨水，然后清扫路面收集砂砾灰尘以寻找微塑料)”可知，研究团队收集砂砾粉尘的目的是为了检测其中是否含有微塑料。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Bill Buttlar, director of the Innovation Lab at the University of Missouri, says he’s impressed with the program but notes that the challenges with road performance in Hawaii are different from those in the mainland United States. The tropical climate with its heavy rains and volcanism faces underground volatility (波动), and when the ground is constantly shifting, it can cause road cracking. (密苏里大学创新实验室主任比尔·巴特拉尔表示，他对该项目印象深刻，但也指出夏威夷的道路性能挑战与美国本土不同。热带气候及其暴雨和火山活动面临着地下的波动，当地面不断移动时，会导致道路开裂)”可知，夏威夷独特的热带气候和地质条件对当地的道路性能构成了挑战。 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。 Now, “romanticizing your life” has become a popular social media trend. It celebrates slowing down and rediscovering life’s simple pleasures. ____16____ What Does It Mean to Romanticize Your Life? Across social media, people are embracing simple rituals such as baking fresh bread, growing a garden, savoring a morning coffee, and spending more time outdoors. ____17____ It’s not about comparison — it’s about expression. In the midst of “busy” culture, the move toward slow living has become a welcome way to embrace happiness in the present moment instead of waiting to reach the next big goal. The Benefits of Romanticizing Your Life In fact, romanticizing your life has powerful benefits, including helping you focus on the good in life by being grateful for small joys. ____18____ Simple acts of self-care, including buying yourself flowers or cooking yourself a delicious meal, can also help you nurture yourself.

Open your curtains in the morning and bask in the sunshine, dress up for no reason at all, and play soft music while you get ready for the day or before bed. If you’re out in nature for the day, go for a walk and notice beautiful things around you, gaze at the sky or watch a spectacular sunset without your phone. The practice can make life feel more beautiful. In the end, romanticizing your life isn’t about creating a perfect life. ____20____ A. How to Romanticize Your Life B. How to Find the Right Balance in Life C. Your life is mostly made up of ordinary days. D. If that sounds good to you, then keep reading. E. Instead, it’s about realizing that joy is all around you. F. Seeing others create beauty from the ordinary reminds us that we can, too. G. It can also promote mindfulness by encouraging you to slow down and be present. 【答案】16. D 17. F 18. G 19. A 20. E 【解析】 【导语】文章主要说明了“浪漫化生活”是社交媒体流行趋势，倡导慢生活、感受日常小美好。文章介绍其含义、好处，给出实践方式，点明它并非打造完美生活。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Now, “romanticizing your life” has become a popular social media trend. It celebrates slowing down and rediscovering life’s simple pleasures.(如今，“浪漫化你的生活”已成为社交媒体上的流行趋势，它倡导放慢脚步，重新发现生活中简单而美好的乐趣)”可知，空处前引入“浪漫化生活”成为社交媒体流行趋势的话题，后文开始展开介绍其含义、好处等内容，D项“如果你觉得这听起来不错，那就继续读下去”起到自然过渡引出下文的作用，符合语境。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Across social media, people are embracing simple rituals such as baking fresh bread, growing a garden, savoring a morning coffee, and spending more time outdoors.(在社交媒体上，人们正热衷于一些简单的仪式，比如烤制新鲜面包、种植花园、享受早晨的咖啡，以及花更多时间在户外活动)”以及后文“It’s not about comparison — it’s about expression. In the midst of “busy” culture, the move toward slow living has become a welcome way to embrace happiness in the present moment instead of waiting to reach the next big goal.(这并非关于比较，而是关于表达。在“忙碌”的文化氛围中，向慢生活转变已成为一种受欢迎的方式，让我们能够拥抱当下幸福，而非等待实现下一个重大目标)”可知，空处前提到社交媒体上人们分享各类从日常小事获得乐趣的做法，空处后说明这不是攀比而是自我表达，F项“看到别人从平凡中创造美好会提醒我们自己也可以做到”衔接了社交媒体上的相关现象与后文的核心理念，逻辑通顺。 【18题详解】 根据上文“In fact, romanticizing your life has powerful benefits, including helping you focus on the good in life by being grateful for small joys.(事实上，将生活浪漫化具有强大的益处，包括帮助你通过感恩生活中的点滴快乐，从而专注于生命中的美好)”以及后文“Simple acts of self-care, including buying yourself flowers or cooking yourself a delicious meal, can also help you nurture yourself. Finally, the practice creates room for joy by showing that happiness can be found in the quiet, everyday moments if you simply notice them.(简单的自我关爱行为，比如给自己买一束花或亲手做一顿美味的饭菜，也能帮助你滋养身心。最后，这种习惯通过提醒你留意那些安静而平凡的日常时刻，让你明白幸福其实就在其中)”可知，空处前介绍浪漫化生活的好处之一是让人关注生活中的美好、对小确幸心怀感恩，G项“它还能通过鼓励你慢下来活在当下提升正念”是对好处的补充说明，和后文的另一个好处“滋养自我”也衔接顺畅。 【19题详解】 根据后文“You can start romanticizing your life when you wake up or during your nightly routine. Open your curtains in the morning and bask in the sunshine, dress up for no reason at all, and play soft music while you get ready for the day or before bed. If you’re out in nature for the day, go for a walk and notice beautiful things around you, gaze at the sky or watch a spectacular sunset without your phone.(你可以在醒来时或夜间日常中开始浪漫化自己的生活。早晨拉开窗帘，沐浴在阳光下，毫无理由地打扮自己，在准备迎接新的一天或睡前播放轻柔的音乐。如果你白天外出到大自然中，不妨散步，留意身边美丽的景色，仰望天空，或在没有手机的情况下欣赏壮丽的日落)”可知，空处是段落小标题，该段内容全部介绍开启浪漫化生活的具体做法，A项“如何浪漫化你的生活”精准概括段落主旨。 【20题详解】 根据上文“The practice can make life feel more beautiful. In the end, romanticizing your life isn’t about creating a perfect life.(这种习惯能让生活感觉更加美好。归根结底，浪漫化你的生活并不意味着要创造一个完美的生活)”可知，空处前说明浪漫化生活不是要创造完美的生活，E项“相反，它是要意识到快乐一直都在你身边”能够对应上文逻辑，契合文意。 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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 A few years ago, a close friend of mine told me that she didn’t think of me as a creative person.

He was the best dribbler (运球者) and fastest runner, and every team hoped to have him on their side. However, at his new school in Pune, none of that seemed to matter. Nobody here had ever seen him play before. “Trials are Thursday,” his new coach, Mr. Subramaniam, said on his first day. “Everyone starts equal.” Rohan almost laughed. He’d never had to try out for anything in his life. Thursday came, and so did a surprise. There was a boy named Vihaan who could read the game better than anyone Rohan had ever played with — always in the right space, always one step ahead, even though he wasn’t particularly fast or showy. Rohan, used to being the obvious star, found himself constantly a half-second behind. He misjudged a pass, then another. By the end of trials, he wasn’t sure where he stood anymore. The team list was posted on Friday morning. Rohan scanned it twice before he found his name — not in the starting eleven, but on the bench. Second string (替补队员). “You’ll get your chance,” Mr. Subramaniam said, noticing his face. “Use practice this week to learn from Vihaan. He sees things most boys your age don’t.” Rohan wanted to feel annoyed. Instead, watching Vihaan during practice that week, he found himself actually paying attention — really watching, the way he didn’t need to at his old school. He noticed Vihaan checking his shoulder before every pass. He noticed how he never panicked, even under pressure, just moved the ball simply and smartly to someone better placed. By watching and learning from this teammate, he discovered a new way of playing. By Saturday’s match, Rohan came on as a substitute in the second half, his team down by one goal. 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。 He didn’t try to be the star this time. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ But Vihaan jogged over, smiling broadly, and embraced Rohan warmly. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 He didn’t try to be the star this time. He checked his shoulder, the way Vihaan did. He found the meaning of the simple pass instead of the showy run. He felt a connection with his team, knowing exactly when to pass, when to make his decisions. With ten minutes left, he slipped a quiet, perfectly timed pass through to a teammate, who scored a goal that was important in helping them turn the game around. People at the gym cheered for the teammate loudly. Nobody noticed Rohan. Nobody chanted his name. But Vihaan jogged over, smiling broadly, and embraced Rohan warmly. “Good ball,” Vihaan said. “Learned it from you,” Rohan said, and meant it completely. Rohan no longer cared about being the center of attention as he used to. Walking side by side with Vihaan off the field, he sincerely told Vihaan he owed the brilliant assist to his guidance. Walking home that evening, Rohan realised something: being the best had once felt like the whole point. Being useful, it turned out, felt better. 【解析】 【导语】本文以Rohan转学后从球队明星变为替补的经历为线索展开，讲述了Rohan在新学校试训中被Vihaan超越，被列为替补后听从教练建议向Vihaan学习，逐渐领悟团队配合与简单传球的价值。周六比赛中，Rohan作为替补上场。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句可知，第一段可描写Rohan上场后不再追求个人表现，而是模仿Vihaan的观察方式，以简单精准的传球串联球队，最终助攻队友进球扭转局势，但观众只为进球队友欢呼，无人注意到Rohan。 ②由第二段首句可知，第二段可描写Vihaan主动跑来热情拥抱Rohan并称赞他的传球，Rohan真诚表示从Vihaan身上学到了很多。他不再在意成为焦点，领悟到“有用”比“最强”更让人满足。 2. 续写线索：上场不争明星——观察后传球——助攻得分——无人注意——Vihaan拥抱称赞——真诚回应——领悟“有用”胜于“最强” 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①注意：notice/pay attention to ②意识到：realise/be aware of 情绪类 ①真诚：sincerely/genuinely ②欢呼：cheer/hail 【点睛】[高分句型1] With ten minutes left, he slipped a quiet, perfectly timed pass through to a teammate, who scored a goal that was important in helping them turn the game around.

B In a village a few kilometres from the West Flanders coast, Nele Bekaert fetches one of several Brabant horses that her family owns. Weighing about a ton, the powerful horse is ideal for pulling a drag net to catch tiny, grey shrimp (虾) in the North Sea. Bekaert rides the horse to the seaside of Oostduinkerke, Belgium. Upon arrival, she puts on bright yellow waterproof overalls and ties ropes and a large net behind the horse. Two baskets are placed at the animal’s sides. Bekaert skillfully seats herself between the baskets. She leads the horse into the sea until the water reaches the top parts of its legs and they slowly move parallel to the coastline, causing a unique scene. A metal chain attached to the front of the net over the sand, creating “shockwaves” that cause shrimp to jump into the net, while water pressure pushes the catch to the back. After about 30 minutes, Bekaert and her “co-worker” return to shore. She empties the net, washes and sorts the catch, keeping shrimp and fish that are fully grown, while releasing the small-sized shrimp and baby crabs back into the sea. This helps maintain biodiversity and prevents the unintentional capture of non- target species. Bekaert is part of a team of 14 active horseback shrimp fishers, formerly known as East Dunkirk Horse Fishers. Each year in Oostduinkerke, they give 36 public demonstrations and participate in a Shrimp Festival, events funded by the government to keep the craft alive. Nowadays, the old-fashioned method has been entirely replaced by commercial development except in Oostduinkerke. That is thanks to former mayor (市长) Honoré Loones, who saved horseback shrimp fishing from extinction in 1950 by making it a tourist attraction with the first Shrimp Festival. The craft has been supported by the government ever since. The East Dunkirk Horse Fishers play a vital role in promoting the craft. Members travel for demonstrations at events across Europe. “The tradition is very important,” Bekaert notes. “I’m happy to help preserve and share it.” 4. What makes Bekaert’s shrimp fishing unusual? A. Her fishing on horseback. B. Her plastic fishing net. C. Her protective equipment. D. Her fishing off the coast. 5. Which word can best describe Bekaert’s method of sorting the catch? A. Labor-saving. B. Profit-oriented. C. Sustainable. D. Efficient. 6. Why do the shrimp fishers give so many public demonstrations? A. To work hard to survive. B. To pass down the ancient fishing skill. C. To raise funds for the government. D. To commercialize the Shrimp Festival. 7. What can we infer about horseback shrimp fishing? A. It is expected to die out soon. B. It boosts the global tourism industry. C. It faced extinction in the past. D. It has threatened commercial fishing. C Researchers from Edith Cowan University (ECU) in Western Australia examined data from more than 179,000 UK Biobank participants, looking at their intake of the two main forms of dietary vitamin K: vitamin K1 — which is found mainly in leafy green vegetables — and vitamin K2, found in foods such as meats, eggs and dairy. “We saw a clearer association between higher vitamin K1 intake and lower Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) (慢性阻塞性肺病) risk, as well as better lung function,” lead author Chengfeng Li said. Over an average follow-up period of 10.5 years, 3,135 participants developed COPD, which is an umbrella term for progressive lung diseases, including emphysema and chronic bronchitis that make it increasingly difficult to breathe. “It’s possible that vitamin K1 itself contributes to the observed associations, but it’s also likely that it works as part of a broader healthy dietary pattern”, Li said. It can’t prove that eating leafy greens directly prevents COPD. People who eat more leafy greens may also exercise more, smoke less, have higher incomes, eat less processed food, or have other health behaviors that lower disease risk. The study also found that the association between higher K1 intake and better lung function appeared stronger in smokers and people working in high-risk occupations, such as jobs involving dust or fumes. That could suggest vitamin K1-rich diets are particularly helpful when the lungs are under greater stress, but the researchers are careful not to oversell the finding. “I would not want readers to think that eating greens can prevent or treat COPD on its own,” said Li. “The most important message for lung health remains to avoid smoking, and reduce harmful occupational or environmental exposure where possible.” Still, the findings add to growing evidence that diet may play a meaningful supporting role in lung health. The amount of vitamin K1 associated with better outcomes was achievable through diet: roughly one extra serve of leafy greens could be enough to boost intake. 8. What do we know about vitamin K1? A. It works better with vitamin K2. B. It exists in both plant and animal foods. C. It can completely prevent COPD. D. It is mainly obtained from leafy greens. 9. What does Li mean by saying that “it works as part of a broader healthy dietary pattern”? A. Vitamin K1 is not a key element. B. There is a need for diversity in diet. C. A healthy diet should be redefined. D. Vitamin K1 may not be acting alone. 10. Which groups can get greater help from vitamin K1-rich diets? A. Non-smokers who eat vegetables. B. Groups already at high risk of lung damage. C. Non-smokers with high pressure. D. Groups who grow up in a good environment. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Effective ways to improve lung health B. Major functions of vitamin K1 in diets C. Leafy greens linked to better lung health D. How to reduce the risk of lung disease D In Hawaii, researchers are literally paving the roads with good intentions. They have come up with an innovative method for putting the island’s plastic pollution to work, covering its roads with asphalt (沥青) mixed with plastic waste. While plastic paving initiatives are happening in places like Missouri and Texas, the project in Hawaii is the first to use marine waste. It is designed to solve the islands’ unique exposure to discarded fishing gear, tourist waste and the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, which completely covers the island chain every few years. To date, 90 tons of plastic trash have been removed from the Pacific Ocean. One key question is whether wear and tear on that pavement might release microplastics into the environment. Initial results show that the asphalt remains largely undamaged, researchers reported on March 22 at the American Chemical Society meeting. “We’re extremely concerned about the releasing of plastics or other chemicals into the environment, because this can expose humans and animals to toxic plastic additives, leading to a series of health problems,” says chemist Jennifer Lynch. The team used a variety of methods to simulate how microplastics would normally be released into the ecosystem, for example, simulating stormwater by pouring pure water onto the road, then sweeping the roads to collect gravel (砂砾) dust to look for microplastics. “There wasn’t significant microplastic release compared with the road with no plastic mixed into the asphalt,” says Jennifer. Bill Buttlar, director of the Innovation Lab at the University of Missouri, says he’s impressed with the program but notes that the challenges with road performance in Hawaii are different from those in the mainland United States.

He was the best dribbler (运球者) and fastest runner, and every team hoped to have him on their side. However, at his new school in Pune, none of that seemed to matter. Nobody here had ever seen him play before. “Trials are Thursday,” his new coach, Mr. Subramaniam, said on his first day. “Everyone starts equal.” Rohan almost laughed. He’d never had to try out for anything in his life. Thursday came, and so did a surprise. There was a boy named Vihaan who could read the game better than anyone Rohan had ever played with — always in the right space, always one step ahead, even though he wasn’t particularly fast or showy. Rohan, used to being the obvious star, found himself constantly a half-second behind. He misjudged a pass, then another. By the end of trials, he wasn’t sure where he stood anymore. The team list was posted on Friday morning. Rohan scanned it twice before he found his name — not in the starting eleven, but on the bench. Second string (替补队员). “You’ll get your chance,” Mr. Subramaniam said, noticing his face. “Use practice this week to learn from Vihaan. He sees things most boys your age don’t.” Rohan wanted to feel annoyed. Instead, watching Vihaan during practice that week, he found himself actually paying attention — really watching, the way he didn’t need to at his old school. He noticed Vihaan checking his shoulder before every pass. He noticed how he never panicked, even under pressure, just moved the ball simply and smartly to someone better placed. By watching and learning from this teammate, he discovered a new way of playing. By Saturday’s match, Rohan came on as a substitute in the second half, his team down by one goal. 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。 He didn’t try to be the star this time. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ But Vihaan jogged over, smiling broadly, and embraced Rohan warmly. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
