Although it is easy to operate, students should not step onto it without reading the safety label first. The machine should be used only after basic instruction. If you feel faint, dizzy or in pain during exercise, stop at once and tell the teacher or fitness room staff. ★Treadmill Quick Guide STAGE WHAT TO DO Before starting Stand on the two top steps located on each side of the running belt. Safety check Attach the emergency-stop clip to clothing. Starting Tap Quick Start and wait. During exercise Use handrails for support and balance. Stopping Press STOP to stop the running belt. After use Remove the emergency-stop key if asked. ★Treadmill Safety Information ★Key Reminders Before and After Use The emergency-stop key is especially important. Before starting, attach the emergency-stop clip firmly to your clothing. Make sure the clip engages enough clothing so it does not fall off. The line should be free of knots and long enough for you to work out comfortably with the key in place. If you move too far back, the key can be pulled out of the console (控制台) and the treadmill will stop. After exercise, students should leave the treadmill clean and safe for the next user. Wait until the belt has completely stopped, step onto the side steps, and wipe the console or handrails if necessary. The rule is simple: use the treadmill not only to train your body, but also to practise safe and responsible use of shared equipment. 1. What is the main purpose of the text? A.

But Kyle Lybarger, born and raised in Alabama, has found unexpected Internet fame by introducing his followers to the overlooked world of southeastern plants. In an interview, Lybarger credits his success to stubbornness, to a positive energy he gained from his late dad and, largely, to not worrying about what others think. “I was a deer hunter, a forester, a man posting about flowers,” he says. “You have to really care the least about what people think of you to do that.” About a decade ago, Lybarger cleared a small area of land in a forest to grow plants whose fruits would attract deer and wild turkeys. He even applied some herbicide (除草剂) and cut down the surrounding trees to let in more light. The next summer, he found the additional sunlight brought a beautiful surprise: an amazing variety of wild flowers. After he posted the flowers on Facebook, a local botanist and science teacher got in touch, confirming some rare and endangered species, such as Alabama larkspur. Lybarger suddenly realized that the grassland he had cleared was ideal for attracting wildlife itself. This experience inspired him to dive into a body of research indicating that historically the Southeast was home to expansive grasslands as well as those wild flowers. It was then that Lybarger found his mission: to save the remaining grasslands and plant species. Together with a botanist from Auburn University, he appealed on all the major social media platforms to forest owners and farmers to stop mowing (修剪草坪) and using herbicides. In 2023 he partnered with an artist to design a T-shirt featuring the rare plants, hoping to raise public awareness and help pay for conservation. The project ended up raising over $100,000 in less than a year, most of which went to his conservation efforts. “My biggest contribution comes through education on social media, influencing people to grow the native plants that best support declining pollinators (授粉昆虫) and other insects.” he says, “One person, one yard, one-tenth of an acre can make a bigger difference than you think.” 4. According to Lybarger, he mainly owes his success to . A. his enthusiasm about native plants B. the development of internet industry C. the spiritual support from his late dad D. his freedom from others’ judgement 5. What led Lybarger to discover the value of the wild flowers? A. His being brought up in Alabama. B. His being a sociable forester. C. His working experience as a hunter. D. The feedback from a local botanist. 6. Why does the writer mention the money in paragraph 4? A. To indicate the difficulty of their project. B. To show the artistic value of their design. C. To prove the success of the project. D. To explain the ambition of his team. 7. What message does Lybarger want to convey in the last paragraph? A. Virtue is its own reward. B. Many drops make a shower. C. Roses given, fragrance in hand. D. Wisdom begins in wonder. 【答案】4. D 5. D 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文以网红Kyle Lybarger保护本土野生植物的经历为线索，讲述他偶然发现野花的价值，借助社交媒体宣传草原与珍稀植物保护，汇聚微小力量助力生态保护的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“In an interview, Lybarger credits his success to stubbornness, to a positive energy he gained from his late dad and, largely, to not worrying about what others think.(在一次采访中，莱巴格将自己的成功归功于执着、从已故父亲那里获得的积极能量，而很大程度上是因为不在意别人的看法。)”可知，莱巴格认为自己成功主要在于不受他人评价的束缚。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“After he posted the flowers on Facebook, a local botanist and science teacher got in touch, confirming some rare and endangered species, such as Alabama larkspur.(他把这些野花照片发到脸书后，当地一位植物学家兼科学老师联系了他，确认其中有一些珍稀濒危物种，比如阿拉巴马飞燕草。)”可知，当地植物学家给出的反馈让他发现了这些野花的价值。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“The project ended up raising over $100,000 in less than a year, most of which went to his conservation efforts.(该项目最终在不到一年的时间里筹集了超过 10 万美元，大部分资金用于他的保护工作。)”可知，作者提到筹款数额是为了证明这个项目取得了成功。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“One person, one yard, one-tenth of an acre can make a bigger difference than you think.(一个人、一个庭院、十分之一英亩的土地，所能带来的改变远超你的想象。)”可知，他想表达滴水汇流，终成大雨的道理。 C A new study out of King’s College London is giving people more of a reason than ever to plan a museum date. It was conducted by the researchers from the university, who got half of the participants, including 50 volunteers, aged 18 to 40, to view pieces by world-famous artists Manet, Van Gogh, and Gauguin in The Courtauld Gallery in London. The control group, on the other hand, looked at copies of the same artworks in a non-gallery environment. All of the participants’ heart rate variability and skin temperatures were measured with sensors throughout the 20-minute art-viewing sessions, and saliva (唾液) samples were also taken before and after viewing. The researchers found that cortisol levels — a key stress hormone (荷尔蒙) in the human body — fell by an average of 22% in the gallery group, compared to just 8% in the control group. The participants viewing original art in the gallery also had more active heart activity, which shows that art attracts the body. Another key finding was that pro-inflammatory (促炎症) proteins IL-6 and TNF-alpha also dropped by 30% and 28% respectively for those viewing art in galleries, with no observable changes for the control group. “Stress hormones and inflammatory markers like IL-6 and TNF-alpha are related to many health problems, from heart disease to anxiety and depression,” explained Dr. Tony Woods, the study’s senior author. “The fact that viewing original art lowered these markers suggests that cultural experiences may play a real role in protecting both mind and body.” Other previous studies have linked regular gallery visits to long-term well-being, but this study is the first to “capture real-time physiological benefits”, which shows an immediate positive impact. “This study proves for the first time that art really is good for you. What’s particularly exciting is that the findings show these benefits are pervasive — they can be experienced by anyone,” said Jenny Waldman, the director of Art Fund. “We want to encourage everyone to make time to visit their local museum or gallery, and discover just how good art can make you feel.” 8. What does the new study focus on? A. Differences between artistic styles. B. Participants’ preferences for artists. C. Effects of art on various environments. D. Participants’ physical reactions to art. 9. What is a finding of the study about viewing original art? A. It mainly improves creative thinking. B. It changes participants’ health indicators. C. It demands a certain art appreciation level. D. It has the greatest impact on mental health. 10. What does the underlined word “pervasive” in the last paragraph mean? A. Surprising. B. Predictable. C. Universal. D. Continuous. 11. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. Museum Trips Bring Immediate Benefits. B. Copying Masterpieces Lowers Stress. C. London Leads World Gallery Tours. D. Sensors Reveal Visitors’ Secrets. 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了伦敦国王学院的一项新研究发现，观赏原创艺术作品能够带来即时的生理益处，如降低压力激素和促炎蛋白水平。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“All of the participants’ heart rate variability and skin temperatures were measured with sensors throughout the 20-minute art-viewing sessions, and saliva (唾液) samples were also taken before and after viewing.(在20分钟的艺术观赏过程中，所有参与者的心率变异性和皮肤温度都用传感器进行了测量，并且在观赏前后还采集了唾液样本)”可知，这项新研究关注的是参与者对艺术的生理反应。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The researchers found that cortisol levels — a key stress hormone (荷尔蒙) in the human body — fell by an average of 22% in the gallery group, compared to just 8% in the control group.(研究人员发现，画廊组参与者体内的一种关键压力激素——皮质醇水平平均下降了22%，而对照组仅为8%)”以及“Another key finding was that pro-inflammatory (促炎症) proteins IL-6 and TNF-alpha also dropped by 30% and 28% respectively for those viewing art in galleries, with no observable changes for the control group.(另一个关键发现是，对于在画廊观看艺术作品的人来说，促炎蛋白IL-6和TNF-alpha也分别下降了30%和28%，而对照组没有观察到变化)”可知，观赏原创艺术改变了参与者的健康指标。故选B。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词后文“they can be experienced by anyone(任何人都可以体验到)”可知，任何人都可以体验到这些益处，即这些益处是普遍存在的，故画线词意思是“普遍的”。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Other previous studies have linked regular gallery visits to long-term well-being, but this study is the first to “capture real-time physiological benefits”, which shows an immediate positive impact.(其他先前的研究已经将定期参观画廊与长期健康联系起来，但这项研究是第一个“捕捉到实时生理益处”的研究，显示了即时的积极影响)”结合文章主要说明了伦敦国王学院的一项新研究发现，观赏原创艺术作品能够带来即时的生理益处，如降低压力激素和促炎蛋白水平。可知，A选项“参观博物馆能带来立竿见影的好处”最符合文章标题。故选A。 D Current treatments for stroke patients — people suffering from sudden brain blood supply disorders — often involve drugs that break down the blockage known as a thrombus in the blood vessel (血管). Given the vast nature of the circulatory system, the procedure frequently requires large amounts of medication to ensure that a proper amount reaches the target area. This makes the procedure itself potentially dangerous, with possible serious side effects including internal bleeding. Robotics researchers at Switzerland’s ETH Zurich now believe that alternative strategies may be on the way. They’ve designed a capsule full of a kind of chemical to magnetize (使磁化) the capsule. “Because the vessels in the human brain are so small, there is a limit to how big the capsule can be. The technical challenge is to ensure that a capsule this small also has sufficient magnetic properties,” study co-author Fabian Landers said. Landers and his team added special substances to allow for X-ray tracking. It’s taken years to find the right balance of components, but the researchers say they now have a magnetic microrobot capable of reliably moving through the roughly 360 vessels in the human body. To test their invention, researchers first used a catheter (导管) to put the microrobot into artificial models of both human and animal blood vessels. Based on an already available design, the specialized catheter includes an internal guide wire that helps release the microrobot. However, it’s not as simple as slowly guiding the device at a single speed until it reaches its destination. “The speed of blood flow in the human system varies a lot depending on location, which makes moving a microrobot very complex,” said study co-author Bradley Nelson. Using one turning magnetic field, the team successfully and precisely guided the microrobot at speeds of up to 4 millimeters per second. After successful lab demonstrations, researchers moved on to animal trials using pigs. In 95% of test cases, the microrobot delivered the thrombus medication to the correct destination. The procedure also showed promise in a sheep’s head, indicating it could be used for many other medical applications. 12. Why do traditional stroke treatments carry risks? A. They use plenty of medicine. B. They fail to clear vessel blocks. C. They damage outer body tissues. D. They slow down blood flow. 13. What is the key design factor when it comes to the capsule? A. It is rather economic. B. It is easily replaceable. C. It is obviously visible. D. It is magnetic enough. 14. What complicates the microrobot’s movement? A. The unstable blood pressure states. B. The changeable blood flow speed. C. The limited head treatment areas. D. The working hours of the catheter. 15. Which is the best title for the text? A. Various Ways to Fight Against Strokes B. Useful Steps to Identify Stroke Symptoms C. Progress of Clinical Drug Tests for Strokes D. Tiny Magnetized Robots for Stroke Treatment 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍传统中风药物疗法存在风险，科研人员研发出磁化微型机器人，精准输送溶栓药物，实验效果良好，有望用于医疗。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Given the vast nature of the circulatory system, the procedure frequently requires large amounts of medication to ensure that a proper amount reaches the target area.(考虑到循环系统分布范围广，该治疗过程往往需要大量药物，以保证有适量药物到达目标区域。)”以及“This makes the procedure itself potentially dangerous, with possible serious side effects including internal bleeding.(这使得该治疗过程本身存在潜在危险，可能会出现包括内出血在内的严重副作用。)”可知，传统中风治疗需要使用大量药物，因此带来风险。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Because the vessels in the human brain are so small, there is a limit to how big the capsule can be. The technical challenge is to ensure that a capsule this small also has sufficient magnetic properties,(因为人脑内的血管非常细小，胶囊的尺寸受到限制。技术难点在于要保证如此小巧的胶囊也具备充足的磁性，)”可知，胶囊设计的关键因素是拥有足够的磁性。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The speed of blood flow in the human system varies a lot depending on location, which makes moving a microrobot very complex,(人体内的血流速度会随位置不同而发生很大变化，这让微型机器人的移动变得十分复杂，)”可知，变化不定的血流速度加大了微型机器人移动的难度。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文特别是根据第二段“They’ve designed a capsule full of a kind of chemical to magnetize (使磁化) the capsule.(他们设计了一个装满某种化学物质的胶囊，用来使胶囊磁化。)”以及第五段“In 95% of test cases, the microrobot delivered the thrombus medication to the correct destination.(在95%的测试案例中，该微型机器人将溶栓药物送到了正确的位置。)”可知，文章介绍一种磁化微型机器人，用于中风血栓治疗。所以D选项“Tiny Magnetized Robots for Stroke Treatment(用于中风治疗的磁化微型机器人)”为最佳标题。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The concept of so-called “biorhythms”, or periods of 23, 28, and 33 days is all over social media. ___16___. But it’s essentially nonsense. The idea behind so-called “biorhythms” is that over the course of month-long periods, your physical, emotional, and intellectual states are up and down, so you should adjust your personal schedule and act when each of them is at the top of one of its cycles. This thinking dictates (使人相信) that you are productive only on certain days in a month and it gives you permission to relax when you perceive yourself to be on the low end of these so-called rhythms. ___17___: If you’re patiently waiting for a biorhythm to peak, your responsibilities and tasks can add up, which will leave you with a bunch of stuff to do — and much of it, left alone for so long, will likely become urgent. Scientists have looked into this and proven it wrong, but the enduring belief in this phenomenon has led to some money grabs when some people try to sell you products that seemingly can help you control your own biorhythms to maximize your energy, productivity, and happiness. Now, you might have heard of circadian rhythms (昼夜节律) and assumed biorhythms are roughly the same thing. ___18___. According to the National Institute of General Medical Sciences, circadian rhythms are physical, mental, and behavioral changes that flow along a day-long cycle and they’re influenced by light and dark. There’s a whole science behind it, which amounts to this: ___19___, since your body sleeps at night, and you will be awake in daylight to get stuff done, ideally feeling alert. ___20___. You’ll be more productive if you get consistent and good sleep. You don’t need to track peaks or subscribe to apps to master this. Instead, focus on getting quality sleep and maximizing what you are doing during those precious daylight hours. A. The problem is obvious B. In fact, they’re quite different C. You get tired when it gets dark D. You should take a break when you feel tired E. You might think there’s some science behind it F. So-called “biorhythms” aren’t real, but circadian rhythms are G. There are, however, other ways to track your peaks in productivity 【答案】16. E 17. A 18. B 19. C 20. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了所谓的“生物节律”并不真实存在，而昼夜节律才是科学上认可的生理现象，并建议人们关注昼夜节律以提升生产力。 【16题详解】 由上文“The concept of so-called “biorhythms”, or periods of 23, 28, and 33 days is all over social media.(所谓的“生物节律”的概念，即23天、28天和33天的周期，在社交媒体上随处可见。)”及下文“But it’s essentially nonsense.(但这本质上是无稽之谈。)”可知，上文说明了“生物节律”的概念在社交媒体上广泛传播，下文指出这一概念本质上是无稽之谈，本空应说明人们可能认为这一概念背后有科学依据。E选项“You might think there’s some science behind it.(你可能会认为这背后有一些科学依据)”能承上启下，符合语境。故选E。 【17题详解】 由上文“This thinking dictates (使人相信) that you are productive only on certain days in a month and it gives you permission to relax when you perceive yourself to be on the low end of these so-called rhythms.(这种想法使人相信，你一个月中只有某些天是高效的，并且当你觉得自己处于这些所谓节奏的低谷时，它允许你放松。)”及下文“If you’re patiently waiting for a biorhythm to peak, your responsibilities and tasks can add up, which will leave you with a bunch of stuff to do — and much of it, left alone for so long, will likely become urgent.(如果你耐心地等待生物节律达到高峰，你的责任和任务会不断增加，这会让你有一堆事情要做——而且其中很多事情，如果长时间搁置不管，很可能会变得紧急。)”可知，上文说明了“生物节律”理论允许人们在低谷时放松，下文指出这种等待会导致任务堆积并变得紧急，本空应说明这种做法的问题所在。A选项“The problem is obvious.(问题显而易见)”能承上启下，符合语境。故选A。 【18题详解】 由上文“Now, you might have heard of circadian rhythms (昼夜节律) and assumed biorhythms are roughly the same thing.(现在，你可能听说过昼夜节律，并认为生物节律大致是同一回事。)”及下文“According to the National Institute of General Medical Sciences, circadian rhythms are physical, mental, and behavioral changes that flow along a day-long cycle and they’re influenced by light and dark.(根据国家普通医学研究所的说法，昼夜节律是沿着一天周期流动的生理、心理和行为变化，它们受光明和黑暗的影响。)”可知，上文说明了人们可能认为“生物节律”和“昼夜节律”是同一回事，下文对“昼夜节律”进行了科学解释，本空应说明两者实际上并不相同。B选项“In fact, they’re quite different.(事实上，它们相当不同)”能承上启下，符合语境。故选B。 【19题详解】 由上文“According to the National Institute of General Medical Sciences, circadian rhythms are physical, mental, and behavioral changes that flow along a day-long cycle and they’re influenced by light and dark. There’s a whole science behind it, which amounts to this:(根据美国国家普通医学科学研究所的说法，昼夜节律是沿着一天的周期流动的身体、心理和行为变化，它们受到光和暗的影响。这背后有一个完整的科学，相当于：)”及下文“since your body sleeps at night, and you will be awake in daylight to get stuff done, ideally feeling alert.(因为你的身体在晚上睡觉，你会在白天醒来完成事情，理想情况下会感到警觉。)”可知，上文说明了昼夜节律背后有科学依据，下文解释了这种节律如何影响人们的睡眠和清醒状态，本空应说明这种节律与黑暗的关系。C选项“You get tired when it gets dark(天黑时你会感到疲倦)”能承上启下，符合语境。故选C。 【20题详解】 由下文“You’ll be more productive if you get consistent and good sleep. You don’t need to track peaks or subscribe to apps to master this. Instead, focus on getting quality sleep and maximizing what you are doing during those precious daylight hours.(如果你得到持续且良好的睡眠，你会更有效率。你不需要追踪高峰或订阅应用程序来掌握这一点。相反，专注于获得高质量的睡眠，并充分利用那些宝贵的白天时间。)”可知，本段总结全文，否定生物节律的作用，强调昼夜节律相关的睡眠的重要性，本空应起到总领全段的作用。F选项“So-called “biorhythms” aren’t real, but circadian rhythms are(所谓的“生物节律”并不真实，但昼夜节律是真实的)”能够概括本段核心观点，符合语境。故选F。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Twice a week, 73-year-old Dave Whitlow walks into the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) at Children’s Hospital of Richmond with one goal: to comfort some of the hospital’s weakest patients, one cuddle (拥抱) at a time.

I firmly believe life skills classes are absolutely necessary for students. Initially, these classes fill a gap in traditional education. Subjects like cooking, budgeting, and basic home repairs are rarely taught in regular lessons, but they are essential for independent adult life. For example, learning to manage money helps us avoid financial troubles later. Secondly, life skills boost confidence. Mastering practical tasks, such as sewing a button or fixing a broken lamp, makes us feel capable of handling real-life challenges. In short, life skills classes prepare us for the future beyond exams. Schools should definitely include them in the curriculum. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文。要求考生以“Are Life Skills Classes Necessary?”为题，给学校英文报投稿，明确表达对“是否应开设生活技能课程”的看法，并说明理由。 【详解】1. 词汇积累 坚定：firmly→strongly 必要的：necessary→essential 提升：boost→enhance 掌握：master→grasp 2. 句式拓展 同义句转换 原句：I firmly believe life skills classes are absolutely necessary for students. 拓展句：I hold a firm belief that life skills classes are absolutely necessary for students. 【点睛】【高分句型1】I firmly believe life skills classes are absolutely necessary for students.（运用了省略连接词that的宾语从句） 【高分句型2】For example, learning to manage money helps us avoid financial troubles later.（运用了动名词短语作主语） 第二节（满分25分） 47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 In a small town in Michigan, there stood an independent bookstore called Serendipity Books — a beloved gathering place for over twenty years. Children had learned to read in its cozy corners, surrounded by piles of picture books. Old friends had met there for coffee and conversation, losing themselves among the shelves on rainy afternoons. The owner, Michelle, had poured her heart into the store since 2017, working alongside three part-time employees who felt more like family. Then came the news. The old building where the bookstore had stood for decades was scheduled for demolition (拆迁) to make way for a new development. Michelle had to move — but the only available space nearby was a smaller storefront just a block away. The thought of packing, transporting, and reorganizing over 9,100 books was paralyzing (令人瘫痪的). Each book, after all, held a memory: the worn copy of a childhood favorite, the signed edition a customer had treasured for years. Hiring a moving company would cost thousands, money she simply didn’t have. For weeks, Michelle lay awake at night, wondering if she should just close the doors forever. She shared her despair with a few regular customers — a retired teacher who came in every Tuesday, a young mother whose daughter had learned to read there. ”I don’t know how I’ll ever move all these books,” she sighed (叹气), her voice breaking. They nodded sympathetically but couldn’t think of easy answers. Still, word began to spread through the town. People talked in the grocery store, at the school pickup line, over morning coffee. The moving day came. Michelle stood outside the old store, staring at the endless shelves, her heart a knot of fear and hopelessness. She had no idea how she would get a single book to the new location, let alone nine thousand. She half-expected to spend the day alone, boxing and crying. Then she heard footsteps — first a few, then dozens, then a crowd. When she turned around, her breath caught in her throat. 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: A human chain of nearly 300 residents lined up from the old bookstore to the new one. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: When the last book found its place on the new shelf, Michelle stepped forward, holding back tears. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 A human chain of nearly 300 residents lined up from the old bookstore to the new one. Book after book traveled hand to hand along the sidewalk. Michelle recognized the retired teacher who came in every Tuesday, passing picture books with a gentle smile. “I read this in high school,” a teenager said, holding up a worn novel. “This one is signed by the author,” an elderly woman added. Laughter and memories flowed like the books themselves. In less than two hours, all 9,100 books had reached their new home. Michelle’s three employees stood at the door, tears streaming down their faces. When the last book found its place on the new shelf, Michelle stepped forward, holding back tears. “I almost closed this store,” she said, her voice barely above a whisper. “I thought I would be boxing these books alone. But you turned my darkest day into something I will never forget.” A young mother stepped forward. “This store belongs to all of us,” she said. One by one, hands went up — offers to volunteer, to help, to keep the story going. That day, the community didn’t just move 9,100 books. They carried their own story into a new home. 【解析】 【导语】本文以书店搬迁为线索展开，讲述了密歇根小镇老牌独立书店Serendipity Books面临拆迁困境时，全镇居民自发组成人链传递书籍，帮助店主Michelle完成搬迁，共同守护社区精神记忆的暖心故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写近三百名居民组成人链传递书籍的现场场景，不同身份的居民边传书边分享与书店的回忆，高效完成了九千余本书的搬运。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写最后一本书归位后Michelle向居民含泪致谢，居民们纷纷表态支持书店延续，书店升华为全镇共同的精神家园。 2.续写线索：居民自发集结→组成传书人链→书籍手手相传→温情回忆交织→书籍全数送达→主题情感升华 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①认出：recognize/identify ②举起：hold up/brandish ③走上前：step forward/advance 情绪类 ①欢笑：laughter/mirth ②泪水顺着他们的脸颊流下： tears streaming down their faces/tears pouring down their cheeks 【点睛】【高分句型1】Michelle recognized the retired teacher who came in every Tuesday, passing picture books with a gentle smile.

Although it is easy to operate, students should not step onto it without reading the safety label first. The machine should be used only after basic instruction. If you feel faint, dizzy or in pain during exercise, stop at once and tell the teacher or fitness room staff. ★Treadmill Quick Guide STAGE WHAT TO DO Before starting Stand on the two top steps located on each side of the running belt. Safety check Attach the emergency-stop clip to clothing. Starting Tap Quick Start and wait. During exercise Use handrails for support and balance. Stopping Press STOP to stop the running belt. After use Remove the emergency-stop key if asked. ★Treadmill Safety Information ★Key Reminders Before and After Use The emergency-stop key is especially important. Before starting, attach the emergency-stop clip firmly to your clothing. Make sure the clip engages enough clothing so it does not fall off. The line should be free of knots and long enough for you to work out comfortably with the key in place. If you move too far back, the key can be pulled out of the console (控制台) and the treadmill will stop. After exercise, students should leave the treadmill clean and safe for the next user. Wait until the belt has completely stopped, step onto the side steps, and wipe the console or handrails if necessary. The rule is simple: use the treadmill not only to train your body, but also to practise safe and responsible use of shared equipment. 1. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To compare treadmill safety features. B. To promote safe treadmill use. C. To highlight a new fitness facility. D. To explain emergency-stop procedures. 2. Which action may be risky? A. Stopping when you feel unwell. B. Setting 9 kph and 10% grade. C. Ignoring abnormal machine noises. D. Holding the handrails when necessary. 3.

A user who leaves knots in the line. B Posting photos of local plants may not seem like a normal way to success as a social media influencer. But Kyle Lybarger, born and raised in Alabama, has found unexpected Internet fame by introducing his followers to the overlooked world of southeastern plants. In an interview, Lybarger credits his success to stubbornness, to a positive energy he gained from his late dad and, largely, to not worrying about what others think. “I was a deer hunter, a forester, a man posting about flowers,” he says. “You have to really care the least about what people think of you to do that.” About a decade ago, Lybarger cleared a small area of land in a forest to grow plants whose fruits would attract deer and wild turkeys. He even applied some herbicide (除草剂) and cut down the surrounding trees to let in more light. The next summer, he found the additional sunlight brought a beautiful surprise: an amazing variety of wild flowers. After he posted the flowers on Facebook, a local botanist and science teacher got in touch, confirming some rare and endangered species, such as Alabama larkspur. Lybarger suddenly realized that the grassland he had cleared was ideal for attracting wildlife itself. This experience inspired him to dive into a body of research indicating that historically the Southeast was home to expansive grasslands as well as those wild flowers. It was then that Lybarger found his mission: to save the remaining grasslands and plant species. Together with a botanist from Auburn University, he appealed on all the major social media platforms to forest owners and farmers to stop mowing (修剪草坪) and using herbicides. In 2023 he partnered with an artist to design a T-shirt featuring the rare plants, hoping to raise public awareness and help pay for conservation. The project ended up raising over $100,000 in less than a year, most of which went to his conservation efforts. “My biggest contribution comes through education on social media, influencing people to grow the native plants that best support declining pollinators (授粉昆虫) and other insects.” he says, “One person, one yard, one-tenth of an acre can make a bigger difference than you think.” 4. According to Lybarger, he mainly owes his success to . A. his enthusiasm about native plants B. the development of internet industry C. the spiritual support from his late dad D. his freedom from others’ judgement 5. What led Lybarger to discover the value of the wild flowers? A. His being brought up in Alabama. B. His being a sociable forester. C. His working experience as a hunter. D. The feedback from a local botanist. 6. Why does the writer mention the money in paragraph 4? A. To indicate the difficulty of their project. B. To show the artistic value of their design. C. To prove the success of the project. D. To explain the ambition of his team. 7. What message does Lybarger want to convey in the last paragraph? A. Virtue is its own reward. B. Many drops make a shower. C. Roses given, fragrance in hand. D. Wisdom begins in wonder. C A new study out of King’s College London is giving people more of a reason than ever to plan a museum date. It was conducted by the researchers from the university, who got half of the participants, including 50 volunteers, aged 18 to 40, to view pieces by world-famous artists Manet, Van Gogh, and Gauguin in The Courtauld Gallery in London. The control group, on the other hand, looked at copies of the same artworks in a non-gallery environment. All of the participants’ heart rate variability and skin temperatures were measured with sensors throughout the 20-minute art-viewing sessions, and saliva (唾液) samples were also taken before and after viewing. The researchers found that cortisol levels — a key stress hormone (荷尔蒙) in the human body — fell by an average of 22% in the gallery group, compared to just 8% in the control group. The participants viewing original art in the gallery also had more active heart activity, which shows that art attracts the body. Another key finding was that pro-inflammatory (促炎症) proteins IL-6 and TNF-alpha also dropped by 30% and 28% respectively for those viewing art in galleries, with no observable changes for the control group. “Stress hormones and inflammatory markers like IL-6 and TNF-alpha are related to many health problems, from heart disease to anxiety and depression,” explained Dr. Tony Woods, the study’s senior author. “The fact that viewing original art lowered these markers suggests that cultural experiences may play a real role in protecting both mind and body.” Other previous studies have linked regular gallery visits to long-term well-being, but this study is the first to “capture real-time physiological benefits”, which shows an immediate positive impact. “This study proves for the first time that art really is good for you. What’s particularly exciting is that the findings show these benefits are pervasive — they can be experienced by anyone,” said Jenny Waldman, the director of Art Fund. “We want to encourage everyone to make time to visit their local museum or gallery, and discover just how good art can make you feel.” 8. What does the new study focus on? A. Differences between artistic styles. B. Participants’ preferences for artists. C. Effects of art on various environments. D. Participants’ physical reactions to art. 9. What is a finding of the study about viewing original art? A. It mainly improves creative thinking. B. It changes participants’ health indicators. C. It demands a certain art appreciation level. D. It has the greatest impact on mental health. 10. What does the underlined word “pervasive” in the last paragraph mean? A. Surprising. B. Predictable. C. Universal. D. Continuous. 11. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. Museum Trips Bring Immediate Benefits. B. Copying Masterpieces Lowers Stress. C. London Leads World Gallery Tours. D. Sensors Reveal Visitors’ Secrets. D Current treatments for stroke patients — people suffering from sudden brain blood supply disorders — often involve drugs that break down the blockage known as a thrombus in the blood vessel (血管). Given the vast nature of the circulatory system, the procedure frequently requires large amounts of medication to ensure that a proper amount reaches the target area. This makes the procedure itself potentially dangerous, with possible serious side effects including internal bleeding. Robotics researchers at Switzerland’s ETH Zurich now believe that alternative strategies may be on the way. They’ve designed a capsule full of a kind of chemical to magnetize (使磁化) the capsule. “Because the vessels in the human brain are so small, there is a limit to how big the capsule can be. The technical challenge is to ensure that a capsule this small also has sufficient magnetic properties,” study co-author Fabian Landers said. Landers and his team added special substances to allow for X-ray tracking. It’s taken years to find the right balance of components, but the researchers say they now have a magnetic microrobot capable of reliably moving through the roughly 360 vessels in the human body. To test their invention, researchers first used a catheter (导管) to put the microrobot into artificial models of both human and animal blood vessels. Based on an already available design, the specialized catheter includes an internal guide wire that helps release the microrobot. However, it’s not as simple as slowly guiding the device at a single speed until it reaches its destination. “The speed of blood flow in the human system varies a lot depending on location, which makes moving a microrobot very complex,” said study co-author Bradley Nelson. Using one turning magnetic field, the team successfully and precisely guided the microrobot at speeds of up to 4 millimeters per second. After successful lab demonstrations, researchers moved on to animal trials using pigs. In 95% of test cases, the microrobot delivered the thrombus medication to the correct destination. The procedure also showed promise in a sheep’s head, indicating it could be used for many other medical applications. 12. Why do traditional stroke treatments carry risks? A. They use plenty of medicine. B. They fail to clear vessel blocks. C. They damage outer body tissues. D. They slow down blood flow. 13. What is the key design factor when it comes to the capsule? A. It is rather economic. B. It is easily replaceable. C. It is obviously visible. D. It is magnetic enough. 14. What complicates the microrobot’s movement? A. The unstable blood pressure states. B.

But it’s essentially nonsense. The idea behind so-called “biorhythms” is that over the course of month-long periods, your physical, emotional, and intellectual states are up and down, so you should adjust your personal schedule and act when each of them is at the top of one of its cycles. This thinking dictates (使人相信) that you are productive only on certain days in a month and it gives you permission to relax when you perceive yourself to be on the low end of these so-called rhythms. ___17___: If you’re patiently waiting for a biorhythm to peak, your responsibilities and tasks can add up, which will leave you with a bunch of stuff to do — and much of it, left alone for so long, will likely become urgent. Scientists have looked into this and proven it wrong, but the enduring belief in this phenomenon has led to some money grabs when some people try to sell you products that seemingly can help you control your own biorhythms to maximize your energy, productivity, and happiness. Now, you might have heard of circadian rhythms (昼夜节律) and assumed biorhythms are roughly the same thing. ___18___. According to the National Institute of General Medical Sciences, circadian rhythms are physical, mental, and behavioral changes that flow along a day-long cycle and they’re influenced by light and dark. There’s a whole science behind it, which amounts to this: ___19___, since your body sleeps at night, and you will be awake in daylight to get stuff done, ideally feeling alert. ___20___. You’ll be more productive if you get consistent and good sleep. You don’t need to track peaks or subscribe to apps to master this. Instead, focus on getting quality sleep and maximizing what you are doing during those precious daylight hours. A. The problem is obvious B. In fact, they’re quite different C. You get tired when it gets dark D. You should take a break when you feel tired E. You might think there’s some science behind it F. So-called “biorhythms” aren’t real, but circadian rhythms are G. There are, however, other ways to track your peaks in productivity 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Twice a week, 73-year-old Dave Whitlow walks into the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) at Children’s Hospital of Richmond with one goal: to comfort some of the hospital’s weakest patients, one cuddle (拥抱) at a time.

Children had learned to read in its cozy corners, surrounded by piles of picture books. Old friends had met there for coffee and conversation, losing themselves among the shelves on rainy afternoons. The owner, Michelle, had poured her heart into the store since 2017, working alongside three part-time employees who felt more like family. Then came the news. The old building where the bookstore had stood for decades was scheduled for demolition (拆迁) to make way for a new development. Michelle had to move — but the only available space nearby was a smaller storefront just a block away. The thought of packing, transporting, and reorganizing over 9,100 books was paralyzing (令人瘫痪的). Each book, after all, held a memory: the worn copy of a childhood favorite, the signed edition a customer had treasured for years. Hiring a moving company would cost thousands, money she simply didn’t have. For weeks, Michelle lay awake at night, wondering if she should just close the doors forever. She shared her despair with a few regular customers — a retired teacher who came in every Tuesday, a young mother whose daughter had learned to read there. ”I don’t know how I’ll ever move all these books,” she sighed (叹气), her voice breaking. They nodded sympathetically but couldn’t think of easy answers. Still, word began to spread through the town. People talked in the grocery store, at the school pickup line, over morning coffee. The moving day came. Michelle stood outside the old store, staring at the endless shelves, her heart a knot of fear and hopelessness. She had no idea how she would get a single book to the new location, let alone nine thousand. She half-expected to spend the day alone, boxing and crying. Then she heard footsteps — first a few, then dozens, then a crowd. When she turned around, her breath caught in her throat. 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: A human chain of nearly 300 residents lined up from the old bookstore to the new one. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: When the last book found its place on the new shelf, Michelle stepped forward, holding back tears. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
