During his early years, his eyes were on the single-engine private planes near his family’s farm and the stars in the night sky, which inspired in him a longing for exploration and opened the door to possibilities. As soon as he could, Dwight applied to join the Air Force, but there was one challenge. Dwight was a quarter-inch too short to pass the physical examination to become a fighter pilot. His teammates came up with a plan to put cardboard in his socks. Though the plan failed, a commanding officer was so impressed by Dwight’s determination that he passed him to join the USAF flight training program. Dwight didn’t waste the opportunity, pouring himself into demanding training. “I got to work a little earlier and stayed a little later. I was taking other people’s missions, trying to build up flying time.” In 1961, Dwight’s excellence caught the attention of America’s newly formed space agency, NASA．He was chosen to become an astronaut in training — the first Black pilot to reach such heights. But in a painful turn, he was eventually not selected for the team that was launched into space. It was disheartening. But as his mother taught him, challenges are simply goals not yet achieved, and anything is possible. That “anything” came true in a full-circle moment in 2023, when Dwight got a very unexpected, life-changing phone call. That call resulted in Ed Dwight boarding a Blue Origin rocket ship on May 19, 2024, to break the bounds (束缚) of Earth’s gravity and become the world’s oldest living astronaut — at 90 years old. 24．What started Ed Dwight’s dream of flying? A．Farming experience. B．Desire for freedom. C．Curiosity about the sky. D．Unfair opportunities. 25．Why was Ed Dwight finally accepted by the Air Force? A．His strong will moved the officer. B．The cardboard plan worked. C．His teammates recommended him. D．He excelled in the examination. 26．What can be inferred from paragraph 3? A．Dwight was the first Black pilot. B．Dwight’s mom influenced his mindset. C．Dwight lost hope after being rejected. D．Dwight’s height prevented his selection. 27．Which of the following can best describe Ed Dwight? A．Creative and intelligent. B．Hard-working and positive. C．Energetic and humorous. D．Open-minded and generous. C Nature words like river, moss and blossom have appeared less frequently in books over the past years. This decline, according to a study by professor Miles Richardson from the University of Derby, mirrors a broader change he has traced through 220 years of records on urbanisation, the loss of wildlife in neighbourhoods, and parents no longer passing on engagement with nature to their children. The computer modelling in the study also predicts an “extinction of experience”, with future generations continuing to lose an awareness of nature because it is not present in increasingly built-up neighbourhoods, while parents no longer pass on an “orientation(倾向)” towards the natural world. This is consistent with findings from other studies, which identify adult nature connectedness as the strongest predictor of whether a child will become close to nature. Richardson said that when he tested policy and urban environmental changes in the model he was surprised at the scale of the changes required to restore the connection to nature. Increasing biodiverse green spaces in a city by 30% might look like significant positive progress for wildlife and people but Richardson said his study suggests a city might need to be 10 times greener to turn around declines in nature connection. Efforts to simply encourage adults to engage with nature are often insufficient for lasting change. More effective are measures that build nature connection from an early age, such as forest schools for young children. Research indicates that government initiatives reshaping early education and urban design must be consistently applied over the next 25 years. Once established, this connection can become self-sustaining. Richardson said the scale of societal change required might not be as challenging as it appeared. A study on people in Sheffield found that they spent just 4 minutes and 36 seconds on average in natural spaces each day. “Increase that by ten, and people are spending 40 minutes outside every day — that may be enough,” he said. “The key is to make these gains last across generations,” he added. 28．What change has Richardson traced in his study? A．Nature words have disappeared from books. B．People have less direct contact with nature. C．Urbanisation has damaged wildlife habitats. D．Parents spend more time outdoors with kids. 29．What might cause future generations to have “extinction of experience” in the model? A．They are raised away from nature. B．They can’t adapt to changes in nature. C．High-rise buildings fill neighbourhoods. D．Schools offer few nature science lessons. 30．What is a most effective solution to the issue according to the text? A．Advancing long-term policies. B．Launching eco-friendly campaigns. C．Focusing on raising adults’ awareness. D．Enlarging green space in certain areas. 31．Richardson mentioned the study on people in Sheffield to show ________. A．nature contact varies from city to city B．people’s living habits are hard to change C．a new way to measure nature time is needed D．small efforts help improve contact with nature D Bacteria (细菌) know how to rough it out all over the earth. Ask most of them where they’d truly prefer to settle, and a kitchen sponge (海绵) would probably top the list. Yes, it turns out that the very tool we use to clean our plates, which is warm, damp, and full of nutritious food pieces, is packed with tiny life. Lingchong You, a biologist at Duke University, along with his team, used computers to model the complex environment of a sponge for a 2022 study. He found that sponges featuring pockets of varying sizes are something that really matters for promoting bacterial growth. This holds significance as certain bacteria tend to grow independently while others demand the companionship of others. Within a sponge filled with holes and pockets, there exist such an abundance of diverse structures that everyone attains a state of satisfaction. Nevertheless, it does not necessarily follow that these tools present a health risk to us as well. Bacteria exist everywhere and not all are harmful; in fact, many perform vital jobs. The important question is, therefore, are the bacteria found in sponges even worth worrying about? In 2017, Jennifer Quinlan, a professor of food safety, and her colleagues, collected kitchen sponges from 100 homes, finding that only 1 to 2% of those sponges contained bacteria linked to food poisoning in humans and the ones that did contained only small amounts of harmful bacteria. “The vast majority of bacteria on sponges do not cause illness, and they’re just going to make them smell.” says Quinlan. “Having said that, there is a possibility that if you use a sponge to wipe up raw meat that you could have some of those disease-causing bacteria on there, and studies have found that those bacteria can be separated from kitchen sponges.” This is not the whole story yet. If dangerous bacteria happen to arrive on the scene, the sponge’s special make-up makes it an ideal place for them to grow and multiply. And there’s evidence this is the case. 32．What can we learn from the first paragraph? A．Sponges are perfect tools in the kitchen. B．Bacteria prefer to live in dry environment. C．Kitchen sponges are good home for bacteria. D．Bacteria affect kitchen sponges’ performance. 33．What did Lingchong You find in his study? A．How sponges are exactly structured. B．What encourages bacterial growth. C．How bacteria react to the environment. D．Why bacteria keep company with each other. 34．What does Quinlan think of bacteria on sponges? A．Relatively harmless. B．Poorly adaptive. C．Surprisingly unpleasant. D．Widely distributed. 35．What will be probably discussed in the following paragraph? A．Proofs of bacterial threat. B．The classification of bacteria. C．Methods to control bacterial growth. D．Research into applications of bacteria. 第二节(共5小题:每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 In discussions about student success, those who have experienced the arts understand the unique value music education holds. 36 Actually, it is a powerful, practical tool that solves challenges far beyond the music room. Here, let’s explore some benefits music education offers students. Being part of a band or choir is a fantastic way to learn about teamwork and cooperation. Students quickly figure out that everyone’s effort contributes to the group’s overall success. 37 You’ll see it when students help each other with difficult parts of the music, or when the group celebrates together after successfully playing a hard piece. Regularly practicing an instrument or voice builds real self-control and teaches patience. Students learn that sticking with something, even when it’s tough, leads to big improvements. When they finally play a challenging piece that they’ve worked so hard on in front of an audience, their confidence will be greatly promoted. 38 The cognitive (认知的) benefits of music are pretty amazing. It actively develops parts of the brain used for language processing and strengthens “spatial-timing skills” important for subjects like math and problem-solving. 39 Additionally, students who take part in music education tend to perform better academically overall and are more likely to graduate. 40 It is therefore a worthwhile investment (投资) in student success, bringing important life skills and supporting all-round personal growth. A．Many others view it just as a creative outlet. B．They also have a unique way to express themselves. C．It shows they can achieve difficult goals with hard work. D．It has the value of being a creative activity for adults to enjoy. E．Clearly, music education offers far more than most people realize. F．This builds a strong sense of shared responsibility and community. G．Research even shows instrument players have greater brain activity. 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分40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。 Eliz Sandalls, a woman in England, has reached a heartwarming milestone after completing her 100th handmade blanket (毯子) for newborn babies.

I’ll never forget the look of relief on his face when he handed me the keys. So I decided to make the best of it. W: How did things turn out? M: I had to manage the cooks and handle daily operations. But my journalism training helped me market the restaurant. W: That’s impressive. And now, 10 years later, how do you feel? M: I couldn’t be happier. I still honor my youthful dream through my successful food blog, which actually draws customers from all over the world to our restaurant. 听下面一段对话，完成第17至第20小题。 17．Why didn’t the speaker paint on rice paper much at first? A．Rice paper was too costly. B．He wasn’t fond of doing that. C．He failed to buy nice rice paper. 18．How was the speaker’s life in Jingdezhen? A．Discouraging. B．Stressful. C．Comfortable. 19．What can the speaker do now? A．Create works on silk. B．Paint on pottery pieces. C．Instruct Australian artists. 20．What is the speaker mainly talking about? A．His efforts to boost cultural exchanges. B．His exploration of traditional Chinese art. C．His travel experiences in China and Australia. 【答案】17．A 18．C 19．B 20．B 【原文】 M: I’m David Reid. I’ve loved traditional Chinese ink art since 1985. That year, I saw ink paintings on paper at a China-Australia art exhibition. But back then, rice paper would cost an arm and a leg in Australia. I couldn’t try painting on it much until 2005. That year, I went to China to join the Shanghai Art Fair. I loved the city and decided to live there. In 2018, I moved to Jingdezhen. I made art. It was a place where the clay, the people, and the slow rhythm of life all came together to make me feel at home — warm, familiar, and full of a sense of belonging. At first, working with clay was hard. If you make a mistake on paper, you can use a new one — but not with clay. After practicing again and again, I finally got the hang of it. Now I can paint smoothly on blue-and-white pottery pieces without following a pattern, and many people love these works. I’m also planning to paint on Chinese silk. I want to help Chinese and Australian artists learn from each other. I’m happy to be a bridge between our two cultures in the future. 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和D四个选项中，选出最佳答案。 A Having a quality first aid kit allows you to treat minor injuries, prevent infections, and even increase the chances of keeping an accident victim alive until proper medical help arrives.

Based on our testing, here are the best ones available online.(我们在实验室里测试了几十个最好用的急救箱。根据我们的测试，这里是网上最好的)”可知，文章主要介绍了经过测试最好的急救箱，故本文目的是介绍一些最好的急救箱，故选A。 22．细节理解题。根据Disaster Zone Kit部分中“Should you have any issues without first aid kit, contact us immediately and our medical team will be in touch.(如果您在没有急救箱的情况下遇到任何问题，请立即与我们联系，我们的医疗团队将与您联系)”可知，灾难急救箱有医疗团队支持，故选C。 23．细节理解题。根据Adventure Medical Kit部分中“It contains a wide range of medications to treat pain, and common allergies (过敏), packed in nylon outer bag with a waterproof inner plastic storage bags.(它包含了广泛的药物治疗疼痛，和常见的过敏，包装在尼龙外袋与防水内塑料储存袋)”和Outdoor Emergency Kit部分中“Weighing only 2 pounds, the waterproof kit is a must-have for your adventures.(这款防水装备只有2磅重，是你冒险的必备装备)”可知，两款急救箱的共同点是防水，故选B。 B Black Americans like Ed Dwight were not given the same opportunities as other Americans. But he didn’t notice. During his early years, his eyes were on the single-engine private planes near his family’s farm and the stars in the night sky, which inspired in him a longing for exploration and opened the door to possibilities. As soon as he could, Dwight applied to join the Air Force, but there was one challenge. Dwight was a quarter-inch too short to pass the physical examination to become a fighter pilot. His teammates came up with a plan to put cardboard in his socks. Though the plan failed, a commanding officer was so impressed by Dwight’s determination that he passed him to join the USAF flight training program. Dwight didn’t waste the opportunity, pouring himself into demanding training. “I got to work a little earlier and stayed a little later. I was taking other people’s missions, trying to build up flying time.” In 1961, Dwight’s excellence caught the attention of America’s newly formed space agency, NASA．He was chosen to become an astronaut in training — the first Black pilot to reach such heights. But in a painful turn, he was eventually not selected for the team that was launched into space. It was disheartening. But as his mother taught him, challenges are simply goals not yet achieved, and anything is possible. That “anything” came true in a full-circle moment in 2023, when Dwight got a very unexpected, life-changing phone call. That call resulted in Ed Dwight boarding a Blue Origin rocket ship on May 19, 2024, to break the bounds (束缚) of Earth’s gravity and become the world’s oldest living astronaut — at 90 years old. 24．What started Ed Dwight’s dream of flying? A．Farming experience. B．Desire for freedom. C．Curiosity about the sky. D．Unfair opportunities. 25．Why was Ed Dwight finally accepted by the Air Force? A．His strong will moved the officer. B．The cardboard plan worked. C．His teammates recommended him. D．He excelled in the examination. 26．What can be inferred from paragraph 3? A．Dwight was the first Black pilot. B．Dwight’s mom influenced his mindset. C．Dwight lost hope after being rejected. D．Dwight’s height prevented his selection. 27．Which of the following can best describe Ed Dwight? A．Creative and intelligent. B．Hard-working and positive. C．Energetic and humorous. D．Open-minded and generous. 【答案】24．C 25．A 26．B 27．B 【导语】文章讲述了埃德·德怀特自幼怀揣飞行梦想，历经挫折仍积极坚持，最终在九十岁高龄圆梦太空的励志人生故事。 【详解】24．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“During his early years, his eyes were on the single-engine private planes near his family’s farm and the stars in the night sky, which inspired in him a longing for exploration and opened the door to possibilities.(在早年，他关注自家农场附近的单发私人飞机和夜空中的星辰，这激发了他的探索渴望，打开了通往可能性的大门。)”可知，对天空的好奇与向往开启了他的飞行梦想。 25．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Though the plan failed, a commanding officer was so impressed by Dwight’s determination that he passed him to join the USAF flight training program.(虽然这个计划失败了，但一名指挥官被德怀特的决心深深打动，准许他加入美国空军飞行训练项目。)”可知，他坚定的意志打动了军官，最终被空军录取。 26．推理判断题。根据第三段中的“But as his mother taught him, challenges are simply goals not yet achieved, and anything is possible.(但正如他母亲教导他的那样，挑战只是尚未实现的目标，一切皆有可能)”可知，母亲的教诲深刻影响了他的心态，让他直面挫折、永不放弃。 27．推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Dwight didn’t waste the opportunity, pouring himself into demanding training. “I got to work a little earlier and stayed a little later. I was taking other people’s missions, trying to build up flying time.”(德怀特没有浪费这次机会，全身心投入高强度的训练。“我总是早一点开工，晚一点结束。我主动承担别人的任务，努力积累飞行时长。”)”可知，他十分勤奋；再根据第三段中的“But in a painful turn, he was eventually not selected for the team that was launched into space. It was disheartening. But as his mother taught him, challenges are simply goals not yet achieved, and anything is possible.(但事态迎来令人难过的转折，他最终没能入选执行太空发射任务的队伍。这件事令人沮丧。但正如他母亲教导他的那样，挑战只是尚未实现的目标，一切皆有可能)”以及第四段“That “anything” came true in a full-circle moment in 2023, when Dwight got a very unexpected, life-changing phone call.(在2023年一个圆满的时刻，那份“一切皆有可能”成为现实，德怀特接到一通出乎意料、改变一生的电话。)”可知，遭遇落选打击后他依旧心态积极，九十岁成功圆梦太空。综上，他勤奋且心态积极。 C Nature words like river, moss and blossom have appeared less frequently in books over the past years. This decline, according to a study by professor Miles Richardson from the University of Derby, mirrors a broader change he has traced through 220 years of records on urbanisation, the loss of wildlife in neighbourhoods, and parents no longer passing on engagement with nature to their children. The computer modelling in the study also predicts an “extinction of experience”, with future generations continuing to lose an awareness of nature because it is not present in increasingly built-up neighbourhoods, while parents no longer pass on an “orientation(倾向)” towards the natural world. This is consistent with findings from other studies, which identify adult nature connectedness as the strongest predictor of whether a child will become close to nature. Richardson said that when he tested policy and urban environmental changes in the model he was surprised at the scale of the changes required to restore the connection to nature. Increasing biodiverse green spaces in a city by 30% might look like significant positive progress for wildlife and people but Richardson said his study suggests a city might need to be 10 times greener to turn around declines in nature connection. Efforts to simply encourage adults to engage with nature are often insufficient for lasting change. More effective are measures that build nature connection from an early age, such as forest schools for young children. Research indicates that government initiatives reshaping early education and urban design must be consistently applied over the next 25 years. Once established, this connection can become self-sustaining. Richardson said the scale of societal change required might not be as challenging as it appeared. A study on people in Sheffield found that they spent just 4 minutes and 36 seconds on average in natural spaces each day. “Increase that by ten, and people are spending 40 minutes outside every day — that may be enough,” he said. “The key is to make these gains last across generations,” he added. 28．What change has Richardson traced in his study? A．Nature words have disappeared from books. B．People have less direct contact with nature. C．Urbanisation has damaged wildlife habitats. D．Parents spend more time outdoors with kids. 29．What might cause future generations to have “extinction of experience” in the model? A．They are raised away from nature. B．They can’t adapt to changes in nature. C．High-rise buildings fill neighbourhoods. D．Schools offer few nature science lessons. 30．What is a most effective solution to the issue according to the text? A．Advancing long-term policies. B．Launching eco-friendly campaigns. C．Focusing on raising adults’ awareness. D．Enlarging green space in certain areas. 31．Richardson mentioned the study on people in Sheffield to show ________. A．nature contact varies from city to city B．people’s living habits are hard to change C．a new way to measure nature time is needed D．small efforts help improve contact with nature 【答案】28．B 29．A 30．A 31．D 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了近年来，书籍中自然词汇减少，反映出人们与自然的接触日益减少。研究表明，城市化、长辈不再引导孩子亲近自然等因素，可能导致后代出现“自然体验的灭绝”。 【详解】28．细节理解题。根据文章第一段内容“This decline, according to a study by professor Miles Richardson from the University of Derby, mirrors a broader change he has traced through 220 years of records on urbanisation, the loss of wildlife in neighbourhoods, and parents no longer passing on engagement with nature to their children.(据德比大学的Miles Richardson教授的一项研究显示，这种下降趋势反映了他所追踪到的更为广泛的变革：220年来的城市化记录、社区内野生动物的减少，以及父母不再将与自然的接触方式传递给子女的现象。)” 可知，Richardson追踪到的核心变化是：城市化、社区野生生物减少、父母不再传递亲近自然的习惯，即，人们和自然的直接接触变少了。故选B项。 29．细节理解题。根据文章第二段内容“The computer modelling in the study also predicts an ‘extinction of experience’, with future generations continuing to lose an awareness of nature because it is not present in increasingly built-up neighbourhoods, while parents no longer pass on an ‘orientation’ towards the natural world.(该研究中的计算机模型还预测会出现“体验灭绝”现象，未来的世代将会逐渐失去对自然界的认知，因为自然环境已不再存在于日益密集的居民区之中，而父母们也不再向孩子们传递对自然世界的“认知导向”。)”可知，“体验灭绝”的原因是：社区逐渐被建筑覆盖，自然消失，同时父母不再传递亲近自然的倾向，即，下一代成长环境本身就远离自然。故选A项。 30．细节理解题。根据文章第四段内容“More effective are measures that build nature connection from an early age, such as forest schools for young children. Research indicates that government initiatives reshaping early education and urban design must be consistently applied over the next 25 years. Once established, this connection can become self-sustaining.(更为有效的是那些能在孩子幼年时期就建立与自然联系的措施，比如为幼儿设立的森林学校。研究表明，政府针对早期教育和城市规划的改革举措必须在未来 25 年内持续推行。一旦这种联系得以确立，它就能实现自我维持。)”可知，更有效的方式是从小培养亲近自然的连接，政府调整早期教育和城市设计的举措，必须在未来25年持续推行，即长期政策才是有效的解决方案。故选A项。 31．推理判断题。根据文章末尾段内容“A study on people in Sheffield found that they spent just 4 minutes and 36 seconds on average in natural spaces each day. ‘Increase that by ten, and people are spending 40 minutes outside every day — that may be enough,’ he said.(一项针对谢菲尔德市民的研究发现，他们平均每天在自然环境中停留的时间仅为4分36秒。“将这个时间增加 10 倍，人们每天就能在户外度过 40 分钟 —— 这或许已经足够了。”)”提及谢菲尔德市民每天只在自然环境中停留4分36秒，而只需增加十倍到四十分钟就够了，即，不用巨大改变，小努力就能提升亲近自然的时间。故选D项。 D Bacteria (细菌) know how to rough it out all over the earth. Ask most of them where they’d truly prefer to settle, and a kitchen sponge (海绵) would probably top the list. Yes, it turns out that the very tool we use to clean our plates, which is warm, damp, and full of nutritious food pieces, is packed with tiny life. Lingchong You, a biologist at Duke University, along with his team, used computers to model the complex environment of a sponge for a 2022 study. He found that sponges featuring pockets of varying sizes are something that really matters for promoting bacterial growth. This holds significance as certain bacteria tend to grow independently while others demand the companionship of others. Within a sponge filled with holes and pockets, there exist such an abundance of diverse structures that everyone attains a state of satisfaction. Nevertheless, it does not necessarily follow that these tools present a health risk to us as well. Bacteria exist everywhere and not all are harmful; in fact, many perform vital jobs. The important question is, therefore, are the bacteria found in sponges even worth worrying about? In 2017, Jennifer Quinlan, a professor of food safety, and her colleagues, collected kitchen sponges from 100 homes, finding that only 1 to 2% of those sponges contained bacteria linked to food poisoning in humans and the ones that did contained only small amounts of harmful bacteria. “The vast majority of bacteria on sponges do not cause illness, and they’re just going to make them smell.” says Quinlan. “Having said that, there is a possibility that if you use a sponge to wipe up raw meat that you could have some of those disease-causing bacteria on there, and studies have found that those bacteria can be separated from kitchen sponges.” This is not the whole story yet. If dangerous bacteria happen to arrive on the scene, the sponge’s special make-up makes it an ideal place for them to grow and multiply. And there’s evidence this is the case. 32．What can we learn from the first paragraph? A．Sponges are perfect tools in the kitchen. B．Bacteria prefer to live in dry environment. C．Kitchen sponges are good home for bacteria. D．Bacteria affect kitchen sponges’ performance. 33．What did Lingchong You find in his study? A．How sponges are exactly structured. B．What encourages bacterial growth. C．How bacteria react to the environment. D．Why bacteria keep company with each other. 34．What does Quinlan think of bacteria on sponges? A．Relatively harmless. B．Poorly adaptive. C．Surprisingly unpleasant. D．Widely distributed. 35．What will be probably discussed in the following paragraph? A．Proofs of bacterial threat. B．The classification of bacteria. C．Methods to control bacterial growth. D．Research into applications of bacteria. 【答案】32．C 33．B 34．A 35．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了细菌在厨房海绵中的生存情况，包括细菌的生长环境、种类、对人类的潜在影响以及海绵的特殊结构如何成为细菌生长的理想场所。 【详解】32．细节理解题。根据第一段前两句“Bacteria (细菌) know how to rough it out all over the earth. Ask most of them where they’d truly prefer to settle, and a kitchen sponge (海绵) would probably top the list.”(细菌知道如何在地球上的各个地方顽强生存。不过，要是问它们最想在哪里定居，厨房海绵可能会高居榜首。)”可知，细菌最想定居的地方是厨房海绵。故选C项。 33．细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“He found that sponges featuring pockets of varying sizes are something that really matters for promoting bacterial growth. (他发现，海绵上那些大小各异的孔隙对于促进细菌生长至关重要。)”可知，这位生物学家发现不同大小孔隙的海绵对促进细菌生长起着重要作用，也就是他发现了什么能促进细菌生长。故选B项。 34．推理判断题。根据第四段第一句话“In 2017, Jennifer Quinlan, a professor of food safety, and her colleagues, collected kitchen sponges from 100 homes, finding that only 1 to 2% of those sponges contained bacteria linked to food poisoning in humans and the ones that did contained only small amounts of harmful bacteria. (2017年，食品安全领域的教授詹妮弗·昆兰（Jennifer Quinlan）和她的同事们从100个家庭中收集了厨房海绵，发现这些海绵中只有1%到2%含有与人类食物中毒相关的细菌，而且确实含有有害细菌的海绵中，有害细菌的含量也很少。)”可知，这位教授及其团队发现海绵上绝大多数细菌不会引发疾病，只有极少数海绵含有与人类食物中毒有关的细菌，且这些细菌的含量也很少，所以她应是认为海绵上的细菌相对无害。故选A项。 35．推理判断题。根据最后一段“This is not the whole story yet. If dangerous bacteria happen to arrive on the scene, the sponge’s special make-up makes it an ideal place for them to grow and multiply. And there’s evidence this is the case. (事情还不止如此。如果危险的细菌碰巧来到了海绵上，海绵特殊的构造会使它成为这些细菌生长和繁殖的理想场所。而且有证据表明情况确实如此。)”可知，有证据表明危险细菌会在海绵上生长繁殖，所以接下来很可能会讨论细菌威胁的证据具体是什么。故选A项。 第二节(共5小题:每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 In discussions about student success, those who have experienced the arts understand the unique value music education holds. 36 Actually, it is a powerful, practical tool that solves challenges far beyond the music room. Here, let’s explore some benefits music education offers students. Being part of a band or choir is a fantastic way to learn about teamwork and cooperation. Students quickly figure out that everyone’s effort contributes to the group’s overall success. 37 You’ll see it when students help each other with difficult parts of the music, or when the group celebrates together after successfully playing a hard piece. Regularly practicing an instrument or voice builds real self-control and teaches patience. Students learn that sticking with something, even when it’s tough, leads to big improvements. When they finally play a challenging piece that they’ve worked so hard on in front of an audience, their confidence will be greatly promoted. 38 The cognitive (认知的) benefits of music are pretty amazing. It actively develops parts of the brain used for language processing and strengthens “spatial-timing skills” important for subjects like math and problem-solving. 39 Additionally, students who take part in music education tend to perform better academically overall and are more likely to graduate. 40 It is therefore a worthwhile investment (投资) in student success, bringing important life skills and supporting all-round personal growth. A．Many others view it just as a creative outlet. B．They also have a unique way to express themselves. C．It shows they can achieve difficult goals with hard work. D．It has the value of being a creative activity for adults to enjoy. E．Clearly, music education offers far more than most people realize. F．This builds a strong sense of shared responsibility and community. G．Research even shows instrument players have greater brain activity. 【答案】36．A 37．F 38．C 39．G 40．E 【导语】文章主要介绍音乐教育不只是艺术形式，还能培养学生团队合作、自控耐心、认知能力等多项能力，助力学生全面成长。 【详解】36．下文“Actually, it is a powerful, practical tool that solves challenges far beyond the music room.(事实上，它是一个强大、实用的工具，能够解决音乐教室之外的诸多难题)”与设空句构成转折关系，纠正大众对音乐教育的片面认知。A选项“Many others view it just as a creative outlet.(许多人仅将其视为一种创意宣泄的方式)”引出大众的片面看法，与下文转折内容逻辑呼应。 37．上文“Students quickly figure out that everyone’s effort contributes to the group’s overall success.(学生们很快明白每个人的努力都关乎团队的整体成功)”讲述音乐学习中的团队协作意义，F选项“This builds a strong sense of shared responsibility and community.(这会培养强烈的集体责任感和团队意识)”承接上文，进一步说明团队协作带来的积极作用。 38．上文“When they finally play a challenging piece that they’ve worked so hard on in front of an audience, their confidence will be greatly promoted.(当学生最终在观众面前演奏出苦练已久的高难度曲目时，他们的自信心会大幅提升)”讲述坚持练习带来的收获与自信提升，C选项“It shows they can achieve difficult goals with hard work.(这证明他们可以通过努力实现艰难的目标)”承接上文，总结苦练攻克难题的意义。 39．上文“It actively develops parts of the brain used for language processing and strengthens “spatial-timing skills” important for subjects like math and problem-solving.(它能有效开发大脑语言处理区域，强化对数学和解决问题等学科至关重要的时空技能)”介绍音乐对大脑和学科学习的认知益处，G选项“Research even shows instrument players have greater brain activity.(研究甚至表明，乐器演奏者的大脑活跃度更高)”递进补充音乐对大脑的积极影响，与后文学业表现更好的内容呼应。 40．下文“It is therefore a worthwhile investment in student success, bringing important life skills and supporting all-round personal growth.(因此，这是助力学生成才的宝贵投资，能培养重要的生活技能、助力个人全面发展)”是对全文的总结升华，E选项“Clearly, music education offers far more than most people realize.(显然，音乐教育的价值远超大多数人的认知)”总括全文音乐教育的多重益处，引出下文总结。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分40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。 Eliz Sandalls, a woman in England, has reached a heartwarming milestone after completing her 100th handmade blanket (毯子) for newborn babies.
