For most students, it’s the first time they’re living away from home and managing their own life. Not surprisingly, adapting to this new lifestyle can be challenging. The following four tips will make high school graduates better prepared for college life. Goal setting When setting goals, whether they’re academic, career, or personal, remember they should be attainable but not too easy, so that you really have to push yourself to achieve them, and feel rewarded when you do. Writing down your goals and breaking down each huge, long-term goal into smaller more practical ones can help make it feel more real, and writing out a plan for achieving it can give you a roadmap to success. Interpersonal skills At college, you will interact with fellow students, professors, librarians, and many others. Strong interpersonal skills will help you build relationships during this time, and get more out of them. If you feel that your interpersonal skills need some work, practice asking thoughtful questions and listening closely, develop your understanding by putting yourself in someone else’s shoes, and enhance your self-confidence. Studying With fewer in-class hours and more on-your-own learning, you’re required to really digest learning material rather than simply memorize facts. To be successful in college you’ll need to learn how to integrate large amounts of information obtained through reading, do research, and write papers. Organization is the key, so if you are not someone who is naturally organized, set up your study schedule. Budgeting Managing money is a critical life skill, and for many, it is at college that they develop it for the first time. Start by estimating your financial balance. Then give high priority to the expenses on basic needs and determine how much money to set aside every month to cover those costs. Don’t forget about savings … and the fun stuff(movies, dinners out), too. 1. Who is this passage most probably written for? A. College teachers. B. University graduates. C. High school teachers. D. Would-be college students. 2. What is the key to successful college study according to the author? A. Being well-organized. B. Being well-informed. C. Effective reading skills. D. Reliable research methods. 3. To learn how to manage money, the first thing to do is ________. A. save money for financial investment B. estimate one’s income and expenses C. set aside money for fun activities D. open a personal bank account 【答案】1. D 2. A 3. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了高中毕业生如何为大学生活做更好准备的四个技巧。 【1题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段首句“Getting into college is a big step for high school graduates, and it comes with a lot of changes. (对于高中毕业生来说，进入大学是一大步，随之而来的是很多变化)”和最后—句“The following four tips will make high school graduates better prepared for college life. (以下四个技巧将使高中毕业生为大学生活做好更好的准备)”可知，本文主要是为即将步入大学的高中毕业生如何做更好准备所提的一些技巧。由此可推测出，该文主要针对于即将成为大学生的高中毕业生。故选D项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Studying”下面的“Organization is the key, so if you are not someone who is naturally organized, set up your study schedule. (组织是关键，所以如果你不是一个天生有条理的人，那就制订你的学习时间表)”可知，在大学成功学习的关键是要学会成为一个有条理性的人，并科学安排自己的时间。故选A项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Managing money is a critical life skill, and for many, it is at college that they develop it for the first time. Start by estimating your financial balance. (管理资金是一项至关重要的生活技能，对许多人来说，他们正是在大学第一次培养这种技能。首先估计你的财务收支平衡状况)”可知，大学生学会自主管理金钱的第一步是要对自己的收入和支出情况进行评估。故选B项。 B Topiary, the practice of training plants into defined shapes, might remind people of scenes from Alice in Wonderland. Michael Gibson believes its lessons go beyond the aesthetic (审美). “Topiary teaches patience. After trimming (修剪), you have to wait for new growth,” he explained. “It can also reduce anxiety and improve focus.” In other words, it benefits both plants and humans. To that end, Gibson uses his training in therapeutic horticulture (疗愈园艺) to serve communities. He is known for his distinctive style, based on what he calls the “Gibson method,” which has five elements: storytelling; geometry for balance and harmony; a special tree-trimming technique that shapes trees; visual effects for striking appearances; and directional trimming, which smooths the surface like brushing hair. Depending on the plant variety and location, a single tree can take 5 to 10 hours to complete, while larger projects may take 20 to 30 hours and need to be maintained two or three times a year. At home in South Carolina, he retrims his topiaries every six to eight weeks, and a design can take years to fully develop. Gibson started developing his signature method early in life. His mother, a beautician, taught him to cut hair, and his artist father introduced him to the fundamentals of art — geometric shapes, proportional faces, and 3D images. After years of practice in the yard, he turned topiary into a side job while doing other work. Gradually, clients and neighbors noticed his vision, and by 2021 he transformed it into a full-time career, focusing on and continuing to refine his topiary art. Gibson is now creating a therapeutic sensory garden. He hopes it will be a place both children and adults keep returning to, while teaching them lessons in horticulture they can apply in everyday life. “When we’re throwing away dead wood and branches we don’t need anymore, think of those as bad habits,” he said. “You need to cut off the bad habits so they don’t affect your design later. That’s a life lesson.” 4. Which aspect of topiary does Gibson stress in paragraph 1? A. Its aesthetic value. B. Its psychological benefits. C. Its traditional methods. D. Its commercial potential. 5. Which of the following best describes the Gibson method? A. Tech-driven. B. Time-efficient. C. Straightforward. D. Multidimensional. 6. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The impact of family education. B. Gibson’s path to his craft. C. The challenge of topiary career. D. The popularity of topiary art. 7. What is the life lesson from horticulture according to Gibson? A. Life is a journey of rises and falls. B. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. C. Removing what holds us back helps us grow. D. What doesn’t defeat you makes you stronger. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了迈克尔·吉布森（Michael Gibson）的树木整形艺术，讲述了他的从业经历，并阐释造型园艺兼具疗愈作用与人生启示。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Michael Gibson believes its lessons go beyond the aesthetic (审美). “Topiary teaches patience. After trimming (修剪), you have to wait for new growth,” he explained. “It can also reduce anxiety and improve focus.” In other words, it benefits both plants and humans.(迈克尔·吉布森认为，它的意义不仅仅在于审美。‘整形树木教会人们耐心。修剪后，你必须等待新的生长，’他解释道。‘它还可以减少焦虑，提高注意力。’换句话说，它对植物和人类都有益。)”可知，吉布森在第一段强调了整形树木对人的心理益处。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“He is known for his distinctive style, based on what he calls the “Gibson method,” which has five elements: storytelling; geometry for balance and harmony; a special tree-trimming technique that shapes trees; visual effects for striking appearances; and directional trimming, which smooths the surface like brushing hair.(他以其独特的风格而闻名，这种风格基于他所谓的‘吉布森方法’，该方法有五个要素：讲故事；用于平衡与和谐的几何学；一种塑造树木的特殊修剪技术；视觉效果，打造引人注目的外观；以及定向修剪，使表面像梳头一样光滑。)”可知，“吉布森方法”涉及多个方面，包括讲故事、几何学、修剪技术、视觉效果和定向修剪，因此它是多维度的。 【6题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“Gibson started developing his signature method early in life. His mother, a beautician, taught him to cut hair, and his artist father introduced him to the fundamentals of art — geometric shapes, proportional faces, and 3D images. After years of practice in the yard, he turned topiary into a side job while doing other work. Gradually, clients and neighbors noticed his vision, and by 2021 he transformed it into a full-time career, focusing on and continuing to refine his topiary art.(吉布森在很小的时候就开始发展他的标志性方法。他的母亲是一名美容师，教他理发，他的艺术家父亲向他介绍了艺术的基础知识——几何形状、比例脸和三维图像。经过多年的庭院实践，他在做其他工作的同时将整形树木变成了一份兼职工作。渐渐地，客户和邻居注意到了他的远见，到2021年，他将其转变为全职工作，专注于并不断完善他的整形树木艺术。)”可知，第四段主要讲述了吉布森如何发展他的整形树木艺术，以及他如何将其从兼职转变为全职工作。因此，本段主要讲述的是吉布森的工艺之路。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“‘When we’re throwing away dead wood and branches we don’t need anymore, think of those as bad habits,’ he said. ‘You need to cut off the bad habits so they don’t affect your design later. That’s a life lesson.’(‘当我们扔掉不再需要的枯木和树枝时，就把它们当作坏习惯吧，’他说。‘你需要改掉坏习惯，这样它们以后才不会影响你的设计。这是一个人生教训。’)”可知，吉布森认为，就像修剪掉不需要的枯木和树枝一样，我们需要改掉坏习惯，这样它们才不会影响我们未来的发展。因此，根据吉布森的观点，园艺给我们的人生教训是去除阻碍我们成长的东西有助于我们成长。 C Cats aren’t known for their sensitivity. But a new study published in the journal Applied Animal Behaviour Science suggests that our feline friends may care more about us and other pets in the house than we give them credit for. What it found was that cats responded to the loss in a way that looked strikingly similar to mourning. To dig deeper into this phenomenon, a team led by psychologist Jennifer Vonk and her co-author Brittany Greene embarked on a comprehensive investigation. They surveyed 412 cat owners or caregivers, asking them how their cat reacted after the death of another pet in the house. Participants used a five-point scale to indicate changes in the cats’ behaviours in the days and weeks after the death. The recorded behaviours were numerous: altered sleep, eating and playing habits, increased vocalisation, spending more time alone, seeking human attention by sitting or lying near them, showing fear or curiosity, interacting with remaining pets, grooming changes, and even searching for the lost pet by sniffing its usual spots. Respondents were also asked to describe the relationships between the cat and the deceased pet, as well as their own bonds and grief. This indicated that cats form connections and respond emotionally to loss. It seems cats get sad when a companion dies, though it’s hard to prove this. Some cats changed their eating and playing habits. Others sought more human interaction. And some even searched the house for their missing family members, lingering around the places where they used to play or sleep. Still, Jennifer cautions that there could be other reasons for the changes in the behaviour besides cats’ grief. They might be eating more because they now have more access to the food bowl, or they might be playing less because they no longer have a playmate. But, she says, even if they do experience grief, it’s probably different from the kind that humans feel. It’s more likely they’re noticing that something has changed in their social environment, and they are responding to the change with feelings of fear or anxiety. 8. What is the main finding of the study on cats? A. Cats are very emotionally stable animals. B. Cats react only by changing their eating habits. C. Cats avoid interaction with humans after a pet dies. D. Cats might display mourning behaviours like humans. 9. What was the method used by researchers to gather data? A. Conducting interviews with professionals. B. Asking cat owners about their cats’ changes. C. Studying the cats’ interactions with their owners. D. Observing the cats in a controlled environment. 10. According to the study, which of the following behaviours may be unrelated to grief? A. Sitting or lying near humans. B. Seeking more interaction with humans. C. Eating more when there is food around. D. Searching the house for the missing pet. 11. Why does Jennifer think cats react emotionally to another pet’s loss? A. They are experiencing the same grief as humans. B. They feel abandoned and fearful when left alone. C. They respond to changes in their social environment. D. They have developed strong friendships with other pets. 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项研究表明猫与家中的人类和其他宠物之间可能有更深的情感联系，它们会在同伴或家中其他宠物死亡后表现出类似于人类的哀悼行为，但猫表现出的这种悲伤与人类的悲伤不同，而是以恐惧或焦虑等情绪对社会环境变化作出的反应。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“What it found was that cats responded to the loss in a way that looked strikingly similar to mourning.(研究发现，猫对损失的反应与哀悼惊人地相似。)”可知，研究发现猫对家中成员的离世作出的反应看起来与哀悼极为相似。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“They surveyed 412 cat owners or caregivers, asking them how their cat reacted after the death of another pet in the house. Participants used a five-point scale to indicate changes in the cats’ behaviours in the days and weeks after the death. (他们调查了412名猫主人或看护者，询问他们的猫在家里另一只宠物死亡后的反应。参与者使用五分制来指示猫在死后几天和几周内的行为变化。)”可知，研究人员对412名养猫人士展开调查，询问他们在家中另一只宠物死后，他们的猫有何反应、行为有何变化，然后据此进行数据收集。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“Still, Jennifer cautions that there could be other reasons for the changes in the behaviour besides cats’ grief. They might be eating more because they now have more access to the food bowl, or they might be playing less because they no longer have a playmate. (不过，珍妮弗提醒说，除了猫的悲伤之外，可能还有其他原因导致猫的行为变化。他们可能会吃得更多，因为他们现在有更多的机会接触到食物碗，或者他们可能会玩得更少，因为他们不再有玩伴。)”可知，猫的行为变化可能还有其他原因，比如因为更容易获取食物而吃得更多，但这一行为和悲伤无关。故选C。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“But, she says, even if they do experience grief, it’s probably different from the kind that humans feel. It’s more likely they’re noticing that something has changed in their social environment, and they are responding to the change with feelings of fear or anxiety. (但是，她说，即使它们确实经历了悲伤，也可能与人类的感受不同。更有可能的是，他们注意到他们的社会环境发生了变化，他们对这种变化的反应是恐惧或焦虑。)”可知，珍妮弗认为猫的确有悲伤情绪，但这种情绪与人类的可能不同，猫之所以会有悲伤情绪可能是因为在其他宠物死亡后，它们注意到自己所处的社会环境发生了变化，并正在以悲伤和焦虑等情绪对这种变化作出反应。故选C。 D Can a small group of drones (无人机) guarantee the safety and reliability of railways and, at the same time, help railway operators save billions of euros each year? That is the very likely future of applying today’s “eyes in the sky” technology to make sure that the millions of kilometres of rail tracks and infrastructure (基础设施) worldwide are safe for trains on a 24/7 basis. Drones are already being used to examine high-tension electrical lines. They could do precisely the same thing to inspect railway lines and other vital aspects of rail infrastructure such as the correct position of railway tracks and switching points. The more regularly they can be inspected, the more railway safety, reliability and on-time performance will be improved. Costs would be cut and operations would be more efficient (高效) across the board. That includes huge savings in maintenance costs and better protection of railway personnel safety. It is calculated that European railways alone spend approximately 20 billion euros a year on maintenance, including sending maintenance staff, often at night, to inspect and repair the rail infrastructure. That can be dangerous work that could be avoided with drones assisting the crews’ efforts. By using the latest technologies, drones could also start providing higher-value services for railways, detecting faults in the rail or switches, before they can cause any safety problems. To perform these tasks, drones for rail don’t need to be flying overhead. Engineers are now working on a new concept: the rail drones of the future. They will be moving on the track ahead of the train, and programmed to run autonomously. Very small drones with advanced sensors and AI and travelling ahead of the train could guide it like a co-pilot. With their ability to see ahead, they could signal any problem, so that fast-moving trains would be able to react in time. 12. What makes the application of drones to rail lines possible? A. The use of drones in checking on power lines. B. Drones’ ability to work at high altitudes. C. The reduction of cost in designing drones. D. Drones’ reliable performance in remote areas. 13. What does “maintenance” underlined in paragraph 3 refer to? A. Personnel safety. B. Assistance from drones. C. Inspection and repair. D. Construction of infrastructure. 14. What function is expected of the rail drones? A. To provide early warning. B. To make trains run automatically. C. To earn profits for the crews. D. To accelerate transportation. 15. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. What Faults Can Be Detected with Drones B. How Production of Drones Can Be Expanded C. What Difficulty Drone Development Will Face D. How Drones Will Change the Future of Railways 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。应用今天的“空中之眼”的技术，无人机能在保证铁路安全可靠的同时又能帮助铁路运营商每年节省数十亿欧元。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Drones are already being used to examine high-tension electrical lines. They could do precisely the same thing to inspect railway lines and other vital aspects of rail infrastructure such as the correct position of railway tracks and switching points.(无人机已经被用于检查高压电线。他们完全可以做同样的事情来检查铁路线路和铁路基础设施的其他重要方面，如铁路轨道和换乘点的正确位置)”可推知，无人机在高压电线检测中的应用，为其应用到铁路线路提供了可行性。故选A。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据后文“It is calculated that European railways alone spend approximately 20 billion euros a year on maintenance, including sending maintenance staff, often at night, to inspect and repair the rail infrastructure. (据统计，仅欧洲铁路公司每年在铁路维护上的花费就约为200亿欧元，其中包括经常在夜间派遣维修人员检查和维修铁路基础设施)”可知，花在maintenance上的费用是用于“inspect and repair the rail infrastructure （检查和维修铁路基础设施”。由此可知“That includes huge savings in maintenance costs and better protection of railway personnel safety”是指大幅节省检修成本和更好地保护铁路人员安全，划线词和 C项：Inspection and repair(检修)含义相近。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段 “Very small drones with advanced sensors and AI and travelling ahead of the train could guide it like a co-pilot. With their ability to see ahead, they could signal any problem, so that fast-moving trains would be able to react in time.(带有先进传感器和人工智能的非常小的无人机可以像副驾驶一样在火车前面行驶。凭借它们的预见能力，它们可以发出任何问题的信号，以便快速行驶的火车能够及时做出反应)”可推知，对于无人机期待的功能是提前发现问题。故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Can a small group of drones(无人机)guarantee the safety and reliability of railways and, at the same time, help railway operators save billions of euros each year? That is the very likely future of applying today’s “eyes in the sky” technology to make sure that the millions of kilometers of rail tracks and infrastructure(基础设施)worldwide are safe for trains on a24/7 basis.(一小群无人机能否在保证铁路安全可靠的同时，帮助铁路运营商每年节省数十亿欧元？这很可能是应用今天的“空中之眼”技术的未来，以确保全球数百万公里的铁路轨道和基础设施全天候安全运行。)”以及后文第二段讲到了使用无人机检查电力线路使无人机应用于铁路线路成为可能;第三段讲到了使用无人机大幅节省维护成本和更好地保护铁路人员安全；第四段讲到了通过使用最新的技术，无人机还可以开始为铁路提供更高的价值，可知文章主要讲述了无人机将如何改变铁路的未来，所以D项“无人机将如何改变铁路的未来。”符合文章中心思想，适合作为本文的最佳标题。故选D。 【点睛】 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 For most of my life, I always treated taste as fixed. When I moved to London, I threw myself into work while my housemates were endlessly trying new things. My automatic “no” to anything that “wasn’t my thing” only kept me trapped in the same daily routine. That left me feeling flat and a little empty. I began to question whether my taste is fixed or could be trained. I once read that children need eight to fifteen tries to accept a new food. ___16___ I decided to start small. When a friend invited me to a book club, I resisted the instinct (本能) to dismiss it despite my longstanding dislike of reading and went anyway. ___17___ Now I spend mornings reading physical books instead of wandering aimlessly. Then came music and performance — all things I had previously disregarded. ___18___ Gradually, I became fascinated by the unfamiliar rhythms and movements and felt proud of my survival in the end. ___19___ However, I stopped saying no before I had even begun. Most recently, I tried out my local library’s chess club. I was easily 30 years younger than everyone else, but that didn’t matter. Sitting opposite people with wildly different life stories made me realize how rarely I speak with other generations. We talked about their past careers, local news and new chess moves. Interestingly, I felt more connected there than with people of my age. Research suggests that engaging your curiosity in new activities can help protect against age - related cognitive (认知的) decline. ___20___ Getting outside my comfort zone now gives me a rush. A. Yet, I was eager for engagement. B. I didn’t love everything straight away. C. For me, it is far more than brain health. D. Initially, I was awkward and sometimes confused. E. As expected, new tastes rarely come without discomfort. F. To my surprise, I enjoyed the discussion and the people there. G. Why shouldn’t the same principle apply to social activities for adults? 【答案】16. G 17. F 18. D 19. B 20. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者过去固守固有喜好、生活单调空虚，后来效仿儿童尝试新事物的道理，主动参与读书、音乐、象棋等活动，收获快乐与归属感，也认识到尝试新事物意义远超健康本身。 【16题详解】 前文“I once read that children need eight to fifteen tries to accept a new food.( 我曾经读到过，孩子需要八到十五次尝试才能接受一种新的食物。)”提到儿童需要多次尝试才能接受新食物，后文“I decided to start small. When a friend invited me to a book club, I resisted the instinct (本能) to dismiss it despite my longstanding dislike of reading and went anyway.( 我决定从小事做起。当一个朋友邀请我参加一个读书俱乐部时，尽管我长期以来一直讨厌阅读，但我还是抑制住了拒绝的冲动，还是去了。)”作者开始尝试新的社交活动，G选项“Why shouldn’t the same principle apply to social activities for adults?( 为什么同样的原则不能适用于成年人的社交活动呢？)”将“食物接受原理”类比到成人社交活动，形成逻辑衔接。故选G项。 【17题详解】 前文“When a friend invited me to a book club, I resisted the instinct to dismiss it despite my longstanding dislike of reading and went anyway.( 当一个朋友邀请我参加读书俱乐部时，尽管我长期以来一直讨厌阅读，但我还是抑制住了拒绝的冲动，还是去了。)”提到作者本不喜欢阅读却参加了读书俱乐部，后文“Now I spend mornings reading physical books instead of wandering aimlessly.( 现在，我早上会花时间阅读实体书籍，而不是漫无目的地闲逛。)”提到如今养成晨读习惯，此处应说明意外地喜欢上了读书俱乐部的氛围。F选项“To my surprise, I enjoyed the discussion and the people there.( 让我惊讶的是，我享受了这次讨论以及那里的每一个人。)”符合此推断，上下文语意连贯。故选F项。 【18题详解】 前文“Then came music and performance — all things I had previously disregarded. (接下来是音乐和表演——这些都是我之前不屑一顾的东西。)”作者尝试此前忽视的音乐和表演，后文“Gradually, I became fascinated by the unfamiliar rhythms and movements and felt proud of my survival in the end.( 逐渐地，我对那些陌生的节奏和动作产生了兴趣，并最终为自己的坚持感到自豪。)”“Gradually（逐渐地）”体现从生疏到适应的过程，此处应描述初期的窘迫与困惑。D选项“Initially, I was awkward and sometimes confused.( 起初，我感到有些笨拙和困惑。)”符合此推断，起到上下文的承上启下作用。故选D项。 【19题详解】 后文“However, I stopped saying no before I had even begun.( 然而，在我甚至还没开始之前，我就不再说“不”了。)”“However”表转折，说明作者不再轻易拒绝新事物，前文应体现不会立刻爱上所有新事物的客观事实。B选项“I didn’t love everything straight away.( 我并非一开始就喜欢上所有的东西。)”符合此推断，和下文紧密连接，符合语境。故选B项。 【20题详解】 前文“Research suggests that engaging your curiosity in new activities can help protect against age - related cognitive (认知的) decline.( 研究表明，对新活动保持好奇心有助于预防与年龄相关的认知能力下降。)”提到新活动利于大脑认知健康，后文“Getting outside my comfort zone now gives me a rush.( 现在走出自己的舒适区让我感到兴奋不已。)”强调走出舒适区带来的精神愉悦，说明意义远超大脑健康本身。C选项“For me, it is far more than brain health.( 对我而言，这远不止关乎大脑健康。)”起到上下文的承上启下作用，符合语境。故选C项。 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（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四个选项（A、B、C和D）中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 I am an elderly man with a severe fear of technology. For years, my adult children served as my tech support. They were efficient and capable but increasingly ___21___. I suspect that when my name appeared on their phones, they probably let the call go to voicemail. And their tone carried obvious ___22___ when they did respond. Out of ___23___, I redirected my distress calls to my eleven-year-old grandchildren. One day, my computer lost internet connection. I tried my usual fixes like restarting the machine, but everything ___24___. My granddaughter suggested, “Try AI.” So, staring at my smartphone, I ___25___ typed out my problem, not sure whether I was using it right. Within seconds, the AI replied with the solution. For the next hour, it guided me through a(an) ___26___ process. Click here. Quit that. Open System Settings. Select Network. Advanced. Change numbers. Restart. At one point, I suddenly couldn’t find the menu bar. Then the AI calmly ___27___ me and told me where to look. When frustration came, it responded, “I understand. Take a deep breath. We are almost there.” It never made me feel ___28___. Eventually, we ___29___ the internet issue. In recent years, fast-evolving technology has often made me feel ____30____, which quietly ruined my confidence. Yet, this digital companion offered assistance without any ____31____.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了作者是一名对科技极度恐惧的老年人，在遇到技术问题求助成年子女时他们往往不耐烦，在孙女建议下转而求助AI，最终成功解决网络问题并消除对科技的焦虑。 【21题详解】 考查形容词。句意：他们效率很高，很能干，但变得越来越联系不上了。A. unavailable难以获得的，抽不开身的；B. independent独立的；C. unfit不合适的；D. demanding要求高的。根据后文“I suspect that when my name appeared on their phones, they probably let the call go to voicemail.”可知，子女看到作者的电话会转去语音信箱，说明作者越来越难联系上子女帮忙解决技术问题。 【22题详解】 考查名词。句意：当他们确实回复的时候，语气里带着明显的不耐烦。A. stress压力；B. impatience不耐烦；C. tiredness疲惫；D. doubt怀疑。结合前文“They were efficient and capable but increasingly ______. I suspect that when my name appeared on their phones, they probably let the call go to voicemail.”子女不接作者电话的语境，可知作者找子女帮忙时，子女的回复会流露出不耐烦。 【23题详解】 考查名词。句意：出于无助，我把求助电话转给了我11岁的孙子孙女。A. curiosity好奇心；B. habit习惯；C. helplessness无助；D. pity怜悯。根据后文“I redirected my distress calls to my eleven-year-old grandchildren”并结合前文作者找成年子女帮忙屡屡碰壁可知，作者没办法才转而向孙辈求助，out of helplessness表示“出于无助”。 【24题详解】 考查动词。句意：我试了我常用的解决方法，比如重启机器，但一切方法都没用。A. changed改变；B. failed失败；C. mattered重要；D. disappeared消失。根据前文“I tried my usual fixes like restarting the machine”和转折连词but可知，作者常用的方法都没能解决问题，都失败了。 【25题详解】 考查副词。句意：所以，我盯着我的智能手机，犹豫地打出了我的问题，不确定我有没有用对AI。A. hesitantly犹豫地；B. desperately绝望地；C. secretly秘密地；D. casually随意地。根据后文“not sure whether I was using it right”可知，作者不确定自己操作对不对，所以打字的时候是犹豫的。 【26题详解】 考查形容词。句意：接下来的一个小时里，它一步步引导我完成了一个复杂的过程。A. complex复杂的；B. familiar熟悉的；C. mysterious神秘的；D. automatic自动的。根据后文列出的“Click here. Quit that. Open System Settings. Select Network. Advanced. Change numbers. Restart.”一系列操作以及作者本身不懂科技，可知这个过程对作者来说很复杂。 【27题详解】 考查动词。句意：然后AI冷静地安慰我，告诉我该去哪里找。A. convinced说服；B. entertained娱乐；C. inspired激励；D. comforted安慰。根据前文“I suddenly couldn’t find the menu bar”和后文“I understand. Take a deep breath. We are almost there.”可知，作者找不到菜单栏，遇到了问题，此时AI冷静地安慰了作者。 【28题详解】 考查形容词。句意：它从来不会让我感到焦虑。A. guilty愧疚的；B. confused困惑的；C. anxious焦虑的；D. strange奇怪的。根据前文“I understand. Take a deep breath. We are almost there.”和“I am an elderly man with a severe fear of technology.”以及下文“My severe anxiety about technology”可知，作者本身对科技就有严重恐惧，遇到问题本来就容易焦虑，而AI一直耐心引导，从未让作者感到焦虑。 【29题详解】 考查动词。句意：最终，我们解决了网络问题。A. ignored忽略；B. understood理解；C. fixed修理，解决；D. encountered遇到。根据前文“my computer lost internet connection”和“I tried my usual fixes”可知，作者断网了，这是网络问题，最终在AI的引导下解决了这个问题。 【30题详解】 考查动词短语。句意：近年来，快速发展的科技常常让我觉得被落在后面，这悄悄摧毁了我的信心。A. taken over接管；B. left behind落后；C. let down使失望；D. worn out使疲惫。根据后文“which quietly ruined my confidence”并结合作者经常需要求助技术问题可知，作者是跟不上科技发展的老年人，科技快速发展让作者觉得自己被时代落下了。 【31题详解】 考查名词。句意：然而，这个数字伙伴提供帮助，没有任何评判。A. reward奖励；B. purpose目的；C. condition条件；D. judgment评判。根据后文“It didn’t roll its eyes or complain like humans sometimes do.”可知，AI不会像人类那样翻白眼抱怨，也就是不会对作者的笨拙做出评判。 【32题详解】 考查动词。句意：我对科技的严重焦虑终于消退了。A. worsened恶化；B. faded消退；C. remained保持；D. appeared出现。根据上文“It never made me feel ______. Eventually, we _______ the internet issue.”和“Yet, this digital companion offered assistance without any ______.”可知，AI帮作者解决了问题，还一直耐心引导，不加评判地提供帮助，作者原本对科技的焦虑终于消退了。 【33题详解】 考查名词。句意：我没想到会在聊天机器人这里得到如此真正的解脱。A. excitement兴奋；B. bitterness痛苦；C. relief解脱，安心；D. anger愤怒。根据上文“My severe anxiety about technology has finally ______.”可知，作者原本对科技有严重焦虑，现在焦虑消退了，终于得到了解脱。 【34题详解】 考查名词。句意：更重要的是，它给我的晚年带来了一份美好的连接：一座通往年轻人世界的安静桥梁。A. escape逃避；B. adventure冒险；C. discovery发现；D. connection连接。根据后文“a quiet bridge to the world of the young”可知，AI成为连接作者老年世界和年轻人世界的桥梁，带来了美好的连接。 【35题详解】 考查形容词。句意：在他们的世界和我的世界之间，住着一个耐心的数字精灵，随时准备给我解释什么是侧边栏。A. digital数字的；B. physical物理的；身体的；C. spiritual精神的；D. domestic家庭的；国内的。根据前文“this digital companion”和常识可知，AI本身就是数字技术产物，所以这里是一个耐心的数字精灵。 第二节 语法填空（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。 In the Mid-Autumn Festival season of 2025, specialty coffee brand M Stand ___36___ (partner) with Zhang Dingjuan, a 30-year-old inheritor (继承人) of Daoming bamboo weaving (编织) . Recognized ___37___ our national intangible cultural heritage, the craft, the roots of ___38___ date back to the Qin Dynasty, comes from Daoming Town in Sichuan Province. “During our ___39___ (collaborate) with a brand, we always look for shared elements between their identity and bamboo weaving,” Zhang explained. “With M Stand, we focused on patterns and simplicity. The Z-shaped weave echoes the ‘M’ in their logo, and the neutral colors match their clean, minimalist style.” Zhang grew up watching her grandfather weave baskets. After studying product design at university, she chose ___40___ (explore) the craft even further. She traveled to Daoming in person to receive training from Zhao Sijin, the master inheritor of Daoming bamboo weaving. One of the most ___41___ (wide) used materials in Daoming weaving is Yinshan cizhu bamboo ___42___ (harvest) at two or three years old. With long joints, thin walls and strong flexibility, it produces durable products. ___43___ makes the process painstaking is that it involves dozens of complicated steps — scraping (刮) , splitting, slicing, thinning and stretching the fibers. So far, Zhang, together with other designers, ___44___ (diversify) the craft beyond traditional baskets into earrings, phone cases and even car seat backs. A gourd-shaped bookmark she designed brought in over 100, 000 yuan in a single month. Last year, she launched her own brand. “I spent a decade ___45___ (learn) in Daoming. From making small pieces to taking on complex, customized projects, it’s been a long and tough journey,” Zhang said. 【答案】36. partnered 37. as 38. which 39. collaboration 40. to explore 41. widely 42. harvested 43. What 44. has diversified 45. learning 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了道明竹编传承人张定娟与品牌合作及推动竹编工艺创新发展。 【36题详解】 考查动词时态。句意：在2025年中秋节期间，精品咖啡品牌M Stand与30岁的道明竹编传承人张定娟合作。根据时间状语“In the Mid-Autumn Festival season of 2025”可知，句子描述的是过去发生的动作，应用一般过去时，动词使用过去式形式。故填partnered。 【37题详解】 考查介词。句意：该工艺被认定为我们国家的非物质文化遗产，其根源可追溯到秦朝，来自四川省道明镇。结合语意可知，此处表示“被认定为我们国家的非物质文化遗产”，应用介词as，recognize as表示“认为……是……”。故填as。 【38题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：该工艺被认定为我们国家的非物质文化遗产，其根源可追溯到秦朝，来自四川省道明镇。“the roots of ____ date back to the Qin Dynasty”为定语从句，修饰先行词the craft，指物，关系词在从句中作of的宾语，所以应用关系代词which。故填which。 【39题详解】 考查名词。句意：“在与一个品牌的合作中，我们总是寻找他们的品牌特色与竹编之间的共同元素，”张解释说。根据空前的“our”和空后的“with a brand”可知，空处应用名词“collaboration”，表示“合作”，作“During”的宾语。故填collaboration。 【40题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：在大学学习产品设计后，她选择进一步探索这门工艺。choose to do sth.为固定短语，意为“选择做某事”，所以空处应用动词不定式“to explore”。故填to explore。 【41题详解】 考查副词。句意：道明编织中使用最广泛的材料之一是两三岁时收割的阴山慈竹。空处修饰动词“used”，应用副词“widely”，表示“广泛地”，作状语。故填widely。 【42题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：道明编织中使用最广泛的材料之一是两三岁时收割的阴山慈竹。空处作非谓语动词，“harvest”与逻辑主语“Yinshan cizhu bamboo”之间是被动关系，所以应用过去分词“harvested”作后置定语。故填harvested。 【43题详解】 考查主语从句。句意：让这个过程极其费力的是，它涉及几十个复杂的步骤——刮、劈、切片、变薄和拉伸纤维。空处引导主语从句，从句中缺少主语，表示“……的东西”，所以应用连接代词“what”引导该从句。句首单词首字母大写，故填What。 【44题详解】 考查动词时态。句意：到目前为止，张和其他设计师一起，将这门工艺从传统篮子扩展到耳环、手机壳甚至汽车座椅靠背。根据时间状语“So far”可知，句子应用现在完成时，其结构为“have/has +过去分词”，主语“Zhang, together with other designers”的中心词是“Zhang”，为单数，所以助动词应用“has”，“diversify”的过去分词是“diversified”。故填has diversified。 【45题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：“我在道明学习了十年。从制作小物件到承接复杂、定制的项目，这是一段漫长而艰难的旅程，”张说。spend time (in) doing sth.为固定短语，意为“花费时间做某事”，所以空处应用动名词“learning”。故填learning。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节 书面表达（满分15分） 46. 假定你是高中生李华，你班计划举办一场英语演讲比赛。外教Jenny提供了“The Beauty of Art”和“The Charm of Sports”两个话题，征求大家的意见。请给她写一封邮件，内容包括： 1．说明你支持的话题； 2．阐述理由。 注意：1．词数80字左右； 2．可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Dear Jenny, I’m writing to share my opinion on the two speech topics you offered.

It wasn’t until late that afternoon that we remembered our two ducks, a male and a female, were still at our poorly-built small farm. “Could they have frozen to death?” we wondered anxiously. My mother and I hurried through the snow to the farm and, to our relief, found them still alive. Their bodies were covered with snow, and they were too cold even to quack (叫). Huddling closely together for warmth, they looked weak and exhausted. We quickly wrapped them in an old blanket and carried them home. Back home, we took the ducks down to the basement and settled them in a warm corner with food, water and some old towels. In the dim light, shadows fell across old tools, ropes, broken baskets, fishing nets and other unused farm supplies that had been left there for years. The ducks soon rested quietly side by side. We decided to leave the ducks alone so they could recover peacefully. Since they already had enough food and water, we didn’t go downstairs again for the rest of the day. Everything seemed peaceful until that evening, when we were reading by the fire in the living room and a strange sound suddenly came from downstairs. It was a dull thumping noise, followed by a long pause. A few moments later, the sound returned, slow but urgent. “Could that be the ducks?” my mother asked. Curious and slightly worried, we got up and went to check. It was indeed one of the ducks. Much to our surprise, the duck brother had climbed nearly to the top of the basement stairs. Struggling to stay upright, he flapped his wings wildly. Then, gathering all his remaining strength, he finally pulled himself onto the highest step and fixed his eyes on us. 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。 Paragraph 1: Seeing us, he let out a few panicked quacks and shot a look back downstairs. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Only then did we understand why he had struggled so desperately to climb up. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 Paragraph 1: When he saw us, he let out several anxious quacks and glanced back toward the basement. Without waiting for us, he immediately turned around and struggled back down the stairs. Confused by his unusual behavior, we hurried after him. In the dim basement, the duck brother rushed toward the corner where the ducks had been resting, flapping his wings wildly and quacking over and over again. A weak rustling sound soon caught our attention. Through the shadows and scattered supplies, we could barely make out another duck struggling helplessly among the ropes and fishing nets. Paragraph 2: We finally understood why the duck had tried so hard to climb upstairs. I quickly rushed to the kitchen for a pair of scissors while my mother gently tried to calm the trapped duck. Back in the basement, I knelt beside her and carefully cut through the tangled net strand by strand. After several tense moments, the final piece finally fell away. Freed at last, the duck sister weakly moved toward her brother, and the duck brother immediately quieted down and stayed close beside her. Watching the two ducks lean against each other once again in the warm basement, I felt a lump rise in my throat. That night, I realized animals may not speak our language, but they understand love, trust and family far more deeply than we often imagine. 【解析】 【导语】本文以两只鸭子的经历为线索展开，讲述了一个大雪降温天，作者和母亲发现留守农场的雌雄鸭子冻得虚弱不堪，便将它们带回地下室悉心安置。傍晚二人听到楼下异响，前去查看后惊讶发现，雄鸭拼尽全力奋力爬上楼梯最高处，望向客厅的两人。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首可知，第一段可以描写雄鸭见到主人后焦急鸣叫、回望地下室、折返下楼的反常举动，以及作者和母亲心生疑惑、紧随其后查看，最终发现雌鸭被绳索渔网困住、无力挣扎的危急场景。 ②由第二段句首可知，第二段可以描写作者和母亲知晓雄鸭爬楼求救的缘由，二人分工协作解救被困的雌鸭，细致描写解救过程与鸭子获救后的温情互动，最后通过作者的感悟升华主旨：动物虽不会言语，却深谙爱与亲情。 2.续写线索：雄鸭见人焦急鸣叫回望地下室——雄鸭折返下楼——家人疑惑紧随其后——发现雌鸭被困杂物中——家人分工解救雌鸭——感悟动物之间的温情与亲情 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①匆忙追赶他：hurry after him/rush to follow him ②猛拍他的翅膀：flap his wings wildly/beat its wings vigorously 情绪类 ①使困惑：confuse/puzzle ②无助地挣扎：struggle helplessly/struggle in despair 【点睛】【高分句型1】In the dim basement, the duck brother rushed toward the corner where the ducks had been resting, flapping his wings wildly and quacking over and over again.

For most students, it’s the first time they’re living away from home and managing their own life. Not surprisingly, adapting to this new lifestyle can be challenging. The following four tips will make high school graduates better prepared for college life. Goal setting When setting goals, whether they’re academic, career, or personal, remember they should be attainable but not too easy, so that you really have to push yourself to achieve them, and feel rewarded when you do. Writing down your goals and breaking down each huge, long-term goal into smaller more practical ones can help make it feel more real, and writing out a plan for achieving it can give you a roadmap to success. Interpersonal skills At college, you will interact with fellow students, professors, librarians, and many others. Strong interpersonal skills will help you build relationships during this time, and get more out of them. If you feel that your interpersonal skills need some work, practice asking thoughtful questions and listening closely, develop your understanding by putting yourself in someone else’s shoes, and enhance your self-confidence. Studying With fewer in-class hours and more on-your-own learning, you’re required to really digest learning material rather than simply memorize facts. To be successful in college you’ll need to learn how to integrate large amounts of information obtained through reading, do research, and write papers. Organization is the key, so if you are not someone who is naturally organized, set up your study schedule. Budgeting Managing money is a critical life skill, and for many, it is at college that they develop it for the first time. Start by estimating your financial balance. Then give high priority to the expenses on basic needs and determine how much money to set aside every month to cover those costs. Don’t forget about savings … and the fun stuff(movies, dinners out), too. 1. Who is this passage most probably written for? A. College teachers. B. University graduates. C. High school teachers. D. Would-be college students. 2. What is the key to successful college study according to the author? A. Being well-organized. B. Being well-informed. C. Effective reading skills. D. Reliable research methods. 3. To learn how to manage money, the first thing to do is ________. A. save money for financial investment B. estimate one’s income and expenses C. set aside money for fun activities D. open a personal bank account B Topiary, the practice of training plants into defined shapes, might remind people of scenes from Alice in Wonderland. Michael Gibson believes its lessons go beyond the aesthetic (审美). “Topiary teaches patience. After trimming (修剪), you have to wait for new growth,” he explained. “It can also reduce anxiety and improve focus.” In other words, it benefits both plants and humans. To that end, Gibson uses his training in therapeutic horticulture (疗愈园艺) to serve communities. He is known for his distinctive style, based on what he calls the “Gibson method,” which has five elements: storytelling; geometry for balance and harmony; a special tree-trimming technique that shapes trees; visual effects for striking appearances; and directional trimming, which smooths the surface like brushing hair. Depending on the plant variety and location, a single tree can take 5 to 10 hours to complete, while larger projects may take 20 to 30 hours and need to be maintained two or three times a year. At home in South Carolina, he retrims his topiaries every six to eight weeks, and a design can take years to fully develop. Gibson started developing his signature method early in life. His mother, a beautician, taught him to cut hair, and his artist father introduced him to the fundamentals of art — geometric shapes, proportional faces, and 3D images. After years of practice in the yard, he turned topiary into a side job while doing other work. Gradually, clients and neighbors noticed his vision, and by 2021 he transformed it into a full-time career, focusing on and continuing to refine his topiary art. Gibson is now creating a therapeutic sensory garden. He hopes it will be a place both children and adults keep returning to, while teaching them lessons in horticulture they can apply in everyday life. “When we’re throwing away dead wood and branches we don’t need anymore, think of those as bad habits,” he said. “You need to cut off the bad habits so they don’t affect your design later. That’s a life lesson.” 4. Which aspect of topiary does Gibson stress in paragraph 1? A. Its aesthetic value. B. Its psychological benefits. C. Its traditional methods. D. Its commercial potential. 5. Which of the following best describes the Gibson method? A. Tech-driven. B. Time-efficient. C. Straightforward. D. Multidimensional. 6. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The impact of family education. B. Gibson’s path to his craft. C. The challenge of topiary career. D. The popularity of topiary art. 7. What is the life lesson from horticulture according to Gibson? A. Life is a journey of rises and falls. B. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. C. Removing what holds us back helps us grow. D. What doesn’t defeat you makes you stronger. C Cats aren’t known for their sensitivity. But a new study published in the journal Applied Animal Behaviour Science suggests that our feline friends may care more about us and other pets in the house than we give them credit for. What it found was that cats responded to the loss in a way that looked strikingly similar to mourning. To dig deeper into this phenomenon, a team led by psychologist Jennifer Vonk and her co-author Brittany Greene embarked on a comprehensive investigation. They surveyed 412 cat owners or caregivers, asking them how their cat reacted after the death of another pet in the house. Participants used a five-point scale to indicate changes in the cats’ behaviours in the days and weeks after the death. The recorded behaviours were numerous: altered sleep, eating and playing habits, increased vocalisation, spending more time alone, seeking human attention by sitting or lying near them, showing fear or curiosity, interacting with remaining pets, grooming changes, and even searching for the lost pet by sniffing its usual spots. Respondents were also asked to describe the relationships between the cat and the deceased pet, as well as their own bonds and grief. This indicated that cats form connections and respond emotionally to loss. It seems cats get sad when a companion dies, though it’s hard to prove this. Some cats changed their eating and playing habits. Others sought more human interaction. And some even searched the house for their missing family members, lingering around the places where they used to play or sleep. Still, Jennifer cautions that there could be other reasons for the changes in the behaviour besides cats’ grief. They might be eating more because they now have more access to the food bowl, or they might be playing less because they no longer have a playmate. But, she says, even if they do experience grief, it’s probably different from the kind that humans feel. It’s more likely they’re noticing that something has changed in their social environment, and they are responding to the change with feelings of fear or anxiety. 8. What is the main finding of the study on cats? A. Cats are very emotionally stable animals. B. Cats react only by changing their eating habits. C. Cats avoid interaction with humans after a pet dies. D. Cats might display mourning behaviours like humans. 9. What was the method used by researchers to gather data? A. Conducting interviews with professionals. B.

D Can a small group of drones (无人机) guarantee the safety and reliability of railways and, at the same time, help railway operators save billions of euros each year? That is the very likely future of applying today’s “eyes in the sky” technology to make sure that the millions of kilometres of rail tracks and infrastructure (基础设施) worldwide are safe for trains on a 24/7 basis. Drones are already being used to examine high-tension electrical lines. They could do precisely the same thing to inspect railway lines and other vital aspects of rail infrastructure such as the correct position of railway tracks and switching points. The more regularly they can be inspected, the more railway safety, reliability and on-time performance will be improved. Costs would be cut and operations would be more efficient (高效) across the board. That includes huge savings in maintenance costs and better protection of railway personnel safety. It is calculated that European railways alone spend approximately 20 billion euros a year on maintenance, including sending maintenance staff, often at night, to inspect and repair the rail infrastructure. That can be dangerous work that could be avoided with drones assisting the crews’ efforts. By using the latest technologies, drones could also start providing higher-value services for railways, detecting faults in the rail or switches, before they can cause any safety problems. To perform these tasks, drones for rail don’t need to be flying overhead. Engineers are now working on a new concept: the rail drones of the future. They will be moving on the track ahead of the train, and programmed to run autonomously. Very small drones with advanced sensors and AI and travelling ahead of the train could guide it like a co-pilot. With their ability to see ahead, they could signal any problem, so that fast-moving trains would be able to react in time. 12. What makes the application of drones to rail lines possible? A. The use of drones in checking on power lines. B. Drones’ ability to work at high altitudes. C. The reduction of cost in designing drones. D. Drones’ reliable performance in remote areas. 13. What does “maintenance” underlined in paragraph 3 refer to? A. Personnel safety. B. Assistance from drones. C. Inspection and repair. D. Construction of infrastructure. 14. What function is expected of the rail drones? A. To provide early warning. B. To make trains run automatically. C. To earn profits for the crews. D. To accelerate transportation. 15. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. What Faults Can Be Detected with Drones B. How Production of Drones Can Be Expanded C. What Difficulty Drone Development Will Face D. How Drones Will Change the Future of Railways 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 For most of my life, I always treated taste as fixed. When I moved to London, I threw myself into work while my housemates were endlessly trying new things. My automatic “no” to anything that “wasn’t my thing” only kept me trapped in the same daily routine. That left me feeling flat and a little empty. I began to question whether my taste is fixed or could be trained. I once read that children need eight to fifteen tries to accept a new food. ___16___ I decided to start small. When a friend invited me to a book club, I resisted the instinct (本能) to dismiss it despite my longstanding dislike of reading and went anyway. ___17___ Now I spend mornings reading physical books instead of wandering aimlessly. Then came music and performance — all things I had previously disregarded. ___18___ Gradually, I became fascinated by the unfamiliar rhythms and movements and felt proud of my survival in the end. ___19___ However, I stopped saying no before I had even begun. Most recently, I tried out my local library’s chess club. I was easily 30 years younger than everyone else, but that didn’t matter. Sitting opposite people with wildly different life stories made me realize how rarely I speak with other generations. We talked about their past careers, local news and new chess moves. Interestingly, I felt more connected there than with people of my age. Research suggests that engaging your curiosity in new activities can help protect against age - related cognitive (认知的) decline. ___20___ Getting outside my comfort zone now gives me a rush. A. Yet, I was eager for engagement. B. I didn’t love everything straight away. C. For me, it is far more than brain health. D. Initially, I was awkward and sometimes confused. E. As expected, new tastes rarely come without discomfort. F. To my surprise, I enjoyed the discussion and the people there. G. Why shouldn’t the same principle apply to social activities for adults? 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（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四个选项（A、B、C和D）中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 I am an elderly man with a severe fear of technology.

It wasn’t until late that afternoon that we remembered our two ducks, a male and a female, were still at our poorly-built small farm. “Could they have frozen to death?” we wondered anxiously. My mother and I hurried through the snow to the farm and, to our relief, found them still alive. Their bodies were covered with snow, and they were too cold even to quack (叫). Huddling closely together for warmth, they looked weak and exhausted. We quickly wrapped them in an old blanket and carried them home. Back home, we took the ducks down to the basement and settled them in a warm corner with food, water and some old towels. In the dim light, shadows fell across old tools, ropes, broken baskets, fishing nets and other unused farm supplies that had been left there for years. The ducks soon rested quietly side by side. We decided to leave the ducks alone so they could recover peacefully. Since they already had enough food and water, we didn’t go downstairs again for the rest of the day. Everything seemed peaceful until that evening, when we were reading by the fire in the living room and a strange sound suddenly came from downstairs. It was a dull thumping noise, followed by a long pause. A few moments later, the sound returned, slow but urgent. “Could that be the ducks?” my mother asked. Curious and slightly worried, we got up and went to check. It was indeed one of the ducks. Much to our surprise, the duck brother had climbed nearly to the top of the basement stairs. Struggling to stay upright, he flapped his wings wildly. Then, gathering all his remaining strength, he finally pulled himself onto the highest step and fixed his eyes on us. 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。 Paragraph 1: Seeing us, he let out a few panicked quacks and shot a look back downstairs. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Only then did we understand why he had struggled so desperately to climb up. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
