B They say that nursing is one of the most sacred professions out there. I think that the saying is more than true. Nurses might be the only individuals on this earth that hold back their own tears to give a smile to others. If you were asked to name history’s greatest nurses, you would almost certainly mention Florence Nightingale, the privileged woman who gave everything to serve the needy of her time. Yet while many remember her as a nurse, few recognize her as the “borderline genius”. Born on May 12, 1820, Florence possessed a once-in-a-generation mind — a polymath who mastered several languages and pioneered statistical concepts still in use today. Her parents were different too. At that time, being female typically destined one for a domestic life of knitting, but her immensely wealthy father was really dedicated to the education of his two daughters. On February 5, 1837, the teenage Florence declared that God had commanded her to end suffering in this world and this was when she joined nursing. Both parents objected fiercely; even her liberal father refused to accept it. Nursing wasn’t then a respected profession. For over twelve years, Florence persisted, unable to sway them. Only when she turned thirty, her father exhausted by resistance, did he finally send her to Germany for formal nursing training. Her defining moment came in the Crimean War. Leading 38 nurses to a British military hospital, she faced cold rejection from doctors unwilling to work with women. Yet through steady determination, her team introduced cleanliness, care, and hope — reducing the death rate dramatically. Nightingale was known for carrying a lamp and checking on the soldiers at night, and that is how she earned herself the title of “the Lady with the Lamp”. Though she passed away in 1910, her spirit endures through International Nurses Day and the Florence Nightingale Medal, honoring caregivers worldwide long after her death. 24．What is the main purpose of the first paragraph? A．To reflect nurses’ emotional challenges. B．To introduce the topic by praising nurses. C．To show the evolution of nursing. D．To compare nursing with other professions. 25．What do we know about Florence’s early experience? A．She pursued nursing following God’s calling. B．She showed early talent in medicine. C．Her parents opposed education for daughters. D．She trained, to be a nurse in England. 26．Why did Florence gain the name “the Lady with the Lamp”? A．For tending to soldiers at night with a lamp. B．For lighting up hospital rooms. C．For guiding others with a lamp in emergencies. D．For using a lamp during surgery. 27．Which of the following can best describe Florence? A．Influential and honest. B．Legendary and easygoing. C．Humorous and innovative. D．Intelligent and determined. C You can almost see scientists becoming excited or annoyed whenever a new Hollywood film rolls out, riddled with scientific errors. But one astronomer voiced a suggestion — maybe it’s OK if a movie makes mistakes in the facts, as long as it gets the big picture right about science and scientists. Seth Shostak of the SETI Institute gains his own experience on Hollywood sets. His biggest problem wasn’t with the technology from other planets. Instead, he fought for the filmmakers to stop showing the scientists as data-calculating stereotypes (刻板印象). “Real scientists don’t describe an object entering the solar system as notable for the fact that it was not moving in a normal orbit ... but moving at the speed of three times ten to the seventh meters per second,” said Shostak. “More likely, they would say that there was ‘a rock headed our way.’” Besides trying to make his fictional versions more approachable human, he emphasized the need for films to focus on conveying the scientific method rather than arguing about details. Another scientist disagreed. Wayne Grody, a physician at UCLA, suggested that wrong description of medicine could confuse viewers. “Perhaps some people do take away more science than they should from their favorite films or television shows, although I’d like to see the court case where someone successfully charges the TV series Grey’s Anatomy with misleading them on a medical condition.” However, Shostak’s point seems reasonable on the whole. Even medical educators have used shows to engage medical students to deal with bioethical issues. The power of big or small screen drama comes from persuasive characters that may represent brilliant doctors or scientific geniuses, but also have unusual human characteristics that allow viewers to empathize. Such stories serve the purpose of helping demystify science. After all, science fiction writer Isaac Asimov once remarked that science could become as mysterious and impossible to understand as magic. Storytellers may help shine a light into the foggy temple by creating characters that practice science. 28．What is Seth Shostak’s major concern about movie production? A．The inaccuracy of alien technology. B．The rigid representation of scientists. C．The insufficiency of the scientific terms. D．The misapplication of scientific methods. 29．What can be inferred from Wayne Grody’s quote? A．Courts play a role in monitoring scientific content. B．TV dramas are responsible for medical popularization. C．Viewers are particular about scientific details in shows. D．Medical errors in fictional works can do real-world harm. 30．What does the underlined word “demystify” in the last paragraph mean? A．Advance. B．Prove. C．Illustrate. D．Complicate. 31．Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A．Scientific Accuracy in Films: Does It Really Matter? B．Seth Shostak: A Scientific Consultant in Hollywood C．The Hidden Risks of the Inaccurate Medical Dramas D．Scientists’ Objections to Stereotypes in Some Movies D Supportive relationships with friends and family contribute positively to health and mental well-being. In contrast, toxic (有毒的) individuals — those who are overly aggressive or deliberately difficult — can become significant sources of stress. Chronic stress is known to produce various negative effects on both mental and physical health. Research has demonstrated that prolonged stress can accelerate aging and increase inflammation (炎症) throughout the body. This raises a curious question: Do toxic people merely worsen our mental state, or might they also produce a measurable effect on biological age? A newly published study sought to investigate this issue. Researchers used an advanced technique called DNA methylation to measure how old volunteers’ bodies really are. For each participant, they mapped social networks and identified whether they had any “hasslers”, people who caused the person too much stress and difficulty. Moreover, saliva samples (唾液样本) were collected from volunteers to assess biological age, and participants filled out additional questionnaires about their health. The findings revealed that 28.8 percent of volunteers reported having at least one toxic individual in their social network, with women more likely than men to report such relationships. The analysis indicated that each toxic person was associated with a 1.5 percent acceleration in the aging process. On average, the biological age of volunteers with toxic social ties was nine months higher than that of individuals of the same chronological age who lacked such relationships. Interestingly, toxic family members or friends had stronger effects on aging than a toxic partner. Researchers suggest this may occur because the positive aspects of marriage, such as reduced loneliness, partially offset the negative impacts of a difficult partner. The study clearly demonstrates that toxic friends or family members yield observable biological consequences. They not only reduce mental well-being but also accelerate aging and increase bodily inflammation. These findings suggest that for those seeking healthy aging and overall wellness, reducing contact with toxic individuals may be a highly important consideration. 32．Which person’s behavior is most toxic? A．A parent limiting your screen time. B．A teacher pointing out your mistakes. C．A friend pushing you to achieve goals. D．A colleague taking credit for your work. 33．How does the author introduce the topic of the passage? A．By raising a question. B．By defining a concept. C．By giving an example. D．By making a comparison. 34．What did researchers use DNA methylation to do? A．To collect saliva samples. B．To map the social networks. C．To identify toxic volunteers. D．To determine the biological age. 35．What can be learned from the study’s findings? A．Toxics speed biological aging. B．Men face more difficult people. C．Women report high social status. D．Life partners cause the most harm. 第二节（共5小题，每小题2.5分；共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。选项中有两项多余选项。 People perceive happiness differently, with some seeing the glass half full while others half empty. Sonja Lyubomirsky, a social psychologist, explained that happiness comprises positive emotions and life satisfaction. 36 Can you change your set range to be a happier person? She believes that we can change how we think and how we behave and also we can change our habits or develop a new habit. Happy people tend to have such certain habits. Go with the “flow”. Be absorbed in what you do. “When you’re so fully engaged in what you’re doing that you don’t notice the passage of time, you are in a state called ‘flow’, which is associated with joy,” Lyubomirsky explained. “ 37 On the contrary, try something as casual and relaxing as completing a group project at the office or enjoying a hobby with your partner.” 38 When it comes to your happiness level, personal relationships have a bigger impact than money, a job title or even your health. “Spending more quality time with your partner, spouse, or kids, or reconnecting with old friends, are sure-fire ways to increase your own and others’ average levels of joy.” Lyubomirsky said “pick a relationship in need of strengthening, and invest time and energy in healing, cultivating and enjoying it.” 39 Practice random acts of kindness and express gratitude. Take a moment to do nice things for others. “Being kind to other people brings on a lot of positive results. It makes you feel generous and capable, leads you to feel grateful about your own situation, and gives you a greater sense of interconnectedness with the world,” Lyubomirsky said. “ 40 And, in turn, the benefit helps nurture your own self- esteem and help get you through the rest of the day or week.” We hope these three tips help you elevate your happiness game. A．Manage your circles. B．Celebrate good news. C．This small investment may go a long way. D．It also gives joy to other people and leads them to like you more. E．Researchers measure those components by asking people such questions. F．The question for researchers returns to that glass half-full or half-empty issue. G．You don’t have to compete in a high- risk game of tennis or climb Mount Everest. 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题，每小题1分；共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。 Nearly five years after her rescue dog disappeared, Patricia, who lives in Sacramento, California, still thought about Choco every day.

In my primary school years, I regarded exercise as a source of fun. As I entered my secondary school years, exercise started to be more than mere enjoyment. I started learning Muay Thai (泰拳) at a gym near my school. Exercising through Muay Thai became a way of relaxation. As I trained regularly, the hours spent kicking and punching (拳击) sandbags boosted my mood so that I would not experience anxiety and stress. A particular experience at the Muay Thai gym one day, however, made me realize how important exercise was to my life, going beyond fun and relaxation. It was nearing the exam season, and many students were rushing to absorb as much last-minute information as possible. I had not gone to the gym for two weeks by then, busy preparing for the exams. There was an air of tension and anxiety. I was particularly upset that my recent maths revision was not going well, as I was getting many questions wrong in the practice papers given out by my teacher. I started feeling that I was not improving, and that I was meant to fail. I poured my worries to my trainer on the phone and he joked he had a trick up his sleeves. So I decided to head to the gym. Despite starting off unsatisfactorily, my punches and kicks soon were on the right track. The moves of my kicks fueled me to be sharper and more precise in my techniques. Punching the sandbags was done accurately and swiftly as I maintained my power and form. Time flew, and an hour’s session felt like a mere 15 minutes. I was surprised to realize my frustration melted away once I put on my gloves. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 As I concluded the session, my trainer approached me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day, stepping into the classroom, I pulled out the maths practice papers confidently. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第12页（共12页） 第1页（共12页） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 英语参考答案 题号 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 答案 C B A A C A B B C C 题号 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 答案 B A C B B C A C B A 题号 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 答案 C C B B A A D B D C 题号 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 答案 A D A D A F G A C D 题号 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 答案 C B B A D C A C A D 题号 51 52 53 54 55 答案 B B A D D 56．greater 57．to create 58．as 59．attracted 60．recognition 61．gains 62．an 63．while/and 64．benefiting 65．treated 1．C 【知识点】庆祝活动 、计划 【原文】W: Are you free on Saturday evening?

They may scream if you treat them badly, according to an article published in a magazine in Cell. Plants can make sounds when they are stressed. Plants interact with insects and other animals all the time, and many of these insects and animals use sounds for communication, so it would be very inconvenient for plants not to use sounds at all. Lilach Hadany told BBC Science Focus. With this in mind, the research team started by recording plants' sounds. They divided the plants into three groups. One group wasn’t watered for five days, another group had the stems cut off and the last group remained untouched. The microphones caught sounds at a frequency of 40 to 80 kilohertz from the first two groups. The sounds grew louder and louder during the five days of water stress. They then began to decline as the plants dried out. The researchers haven’t yet discovered how the sounds are made. After the experiment, the team gathered the data and made software that could tell how plants feel. It could be useful for farmers in monitoring the conditions of their crops. 21．C 22．C 23．B 【知识点】广告/布告、职业内容、应用文 【导语】这篇文章主要介绍了大英博物馆的活动助理招聘公告，介绍了岗位地点、薪资等基本信息，说明了工作职责、任职要求，同时列出了假期、养老金、文化福利等员工待遇。 【详解】21．细节理解题。根据About the role中“This role provides essential administrative support to the Events team.

The ideal candidate should be organized and able to manage multiple tasks at once in a fast-paced environment.( 您应具备良好的沟通能力，能够与各类同事和访客顺畅合作。理想的候选人需条理清晰，在快节奏环境中同时处理多项任务。)”可知，理想的候选人需要具备多任务处理和沟通能力。 23．推理判断题。通读全文以及标题“Vacancy: Events Assistant at the British Museum(职位：大英博物馆活动助理  )”可知，全文包含岗位概述、职责、任职要求、福利待遇，是典型的招聘启事，目的是发布岗位招聘信息。 24．B 25．A 26．A 27．D 【知识点】记叙文、其他著名人物 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文介绍了护理先驱南丁格尔的生平。她虽出身优渥且极具才智，但为了遵从神召，克服家庭阻力投身护理，在克里米亚战争中通过改善卫生条件挽救生命，被誉为“提灯女神”。 【详解】24．推理判断题。根据第一段“They say that nursing is one of the most sacred professions out there. I think that the saying is more than true. Nurses might be the only individuals on this earth that hold back their own tears to give a smile to others.(他们说护理工作是世上最神圣的职业之一。我认为这种说法非常正确。护士可能是这个世界上唯一能够强忍住自己的泪水，却还能向他人展露笑容的人)”可知，第一段的主要目的是通过赞扬护士来引入文章话题。故选B。 25．细节理解题。根据第四段“On February 5, 1837, the teenage Florence declared that God had commanded her to end suffering in this world and this was when she joined nursing.( 1837年2月5日，十几岁的弗洛伦斯宣称上帝命令她终结这个世界上的痛苦，也正是从那时起，她投身于护理事业)”可知，弗洛伦斯早期是受上帝的召唤而投身护理事业的。故选A。 26．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Nightingale was known for carrying a lamp and checking on the soldiers at night, and that is how she earned herself the title of “the Lady with the Lamp”.(南丁格尔因夜间手持灯盏巡视士兵而闻名，也正是由于这一事迹，她才获得了“提灯女神”的称号)”可知，弗洛伦斯被称为“提灯女神”是因为她曾在夜间为士兵们照明护理。故选A。 27．推理判断题。根据第三段“Born on May 12, 1820, Florence possessed a once-in-a-generation mind — a polymath who mastered several languages and pioneered statistical concepts still in use today.(弗洛伦斯于1820年5月12日出生，她拥有独一无二的非凡才智——一位多才多艺的学者，精通多种语言，并开创了至今仍在使用的统计学概念)”以及第四段“For over twelve years, Florence persisted, unable to sway them.(整整十二年里，弗洛伦斯一直坚持着，却始终未能说服他们)”可知，弗洛伦斯智慧且坚毅。故选D。 28．B 29．D 30．C 31．A 【知识点】电影与戏剧、科普知识 、议论文 【导语】文章主要讨论了电影中科学准确性的问题，介绍了科学家对影视中科学家形象及科学内容的不同看法。 【详解】28．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Seth Shostak of the SETI Institute gains his own experience on Hollywood sets. His biggest problem wasn’t with the technology from other planets. Instead, he fought for the filmmakers to stop showing the scientists as data-calculating stereotypes (刻板印象).(SETI研究所的Seth Shostak在好莱坞片场有自己的经历。他最大的问题并非来自外星科技。相反，他努力争取让电影制作人停止把科学家塑造成只会计算数据的刻板形象。)”可知，Seth Shostak对电影制作的主要担忧是对科学家的刻板呈现。 29．推理判断题。根据第三段中“Wayne Grody, a physician at UCLA, suggested that wrong description of medicine could confuse viewers. “Perhaps some people do take away more science than they should from their favorite films or television shows, although I’d like to see the court case where someone successfully charges the TV series Grey’s Anatomy with misleading them on a medical condition.”(加州大学洛杉矶分校的医生Wayne Grody提出，对医学的错误描述可能会让观众产生困惑。“也许有些人确实从他们最喜欢的电影或电视节目中吸收了过多的‘科学’内容，尽管我倒想看看有谁能在法庭上成功起诉电视剧《实习医生格蕾》在某个医学问题上误导了他们。”)”可知，Grody认为影视作品中的医学错误可能给现实世界带来危害。 30．词句猜测题。根据最后一段中“Such stories serve the purpose of helping demystify science. After all, science fiction writer Isaac Asimov once remarked that science could become as mysterious and impossible to understand as magic. Storytellers may help shine a light into the foggy temple by creating characters that practice science.(这类故事有助于demystify科学。毕竟，科幻作家艾萨克·阿西莫夫曾说过，科学可能变得像魔法一样神秘而难以理解。讲故事的人可以通过创造从事科学的角色，帮助照亮这座迷雾笼罩的殿堂。)”可知，画线词“demystify”与后文“science could become as mysterious and impossible to understand as magic”形成对比，意为“使科学不再神秘、使科学易于理解”，与“Illustrate(阐明、说明)”最接近。 31．主旨大意题。根据第一段中“But one astronomer voiced a suggestion — maybe it’s OK if a movie makes mistakes in the facts, as long as it gets the big picture right about science and scientists.(但一位天文学家提出了一个建议——也许电影在事实方面犯错没关系，只要它对科学和科学家的大方向把握正确。)”以及最后一段中“Storytellers may help shine a light into the foggy temple by creating characters that practice science.(讲故事的人可以通过创造从事科学的角色，帮助照亮这座迷雾笼罩的殿堂。)”可知，全文围绕电影中科学准确性的问题展开讨论，A项“Scientific Accuracy in Films: Does It Really Matter?(电影中的科学准确性：真的重要吗?)”最能概括文章内容，最适合做文章标题。 32．D 33．A 34．D 35．A 【知识点】社会关系、科普知识 、说明文 【导语】文章主要探讨了有毒人际关系对生物年龄的影响。 【详解】32．推理判断题。根据第一段“Toxic individuals — those who are overly aggressive or deliberately difficult — can become significant sources of stress.(有毒的人——那些过于咄咄逼人或故意刁难的人——会成为压力的重要来源。)”可知，有毒的人指的是那些故意刁难别人的人。选项D“同事抢你的功劳”属于故意刁难别人。 33．推理判断题。根据第二段“This raises a curious question: Do toxic people merely worsen our mental state, or might they also produce a measurable effect on biological age?(这就提出了一个有趣的问题：有毒的人仅仅是恶化了我们的精神状态，还是也会对我们的生物年龄产生可衡量的影响？)”可知，作者通过提出问题来引入文章的主题。 34．细节理解题。根据第三段“Researchers used an advanced technique called DNA methylation to measure how old volunteers’ bodies really are.(研究人员使用一种称为DNA甲基化的先进技术来测量志愿者的身体到底有多老。)”可知，研究人员使用DNA甲基化来确定生物年龄。 35．细节理解题。根据第四段“The analysis indicated that each toxic person was associated with a 1.5 percent acceleration in the aging process.(分析表明，每个有毒的人与衰老过程加速1.5%有关。)”可知，我们从研究发现中知道有毒的人加速生物衰老。 36．F 37．G 38．A 39．C 40．D 【知识点】方法/策略 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了一些培养乐观精神，改变我们思维习惯的方法。 36．根据上文“People perceive happiness differently, with some seeing the glass half full while others half empty. Sonja Lyubomirsky, a social psychologist, explained that happiness comprises positive emotions and life satisfaction.(人们对幸福的看法不同，有些人看到的是半满的杯子，而有些人看到的是半空的杯子。社会心理学家Sonja Lyubomirsky解释说，幸福包括积极的情绪和生活满意度)”以及后文“Can you change your set range to be a happier person? She believes that we can change how we think and how we behave and also we can change our habits or develop a new habit. Happy people tend to have such certain habits.(为了成为一个更快乐的人，你能改变你的设定范围吗？她相信我们可以改变我们的思维方式和行为方式，我们也可以改变我们的习惯或养成一个新的习惯。快乐的人往往有这样的习惯)”可知，上文提到人们对幸福的看法不同，有些人看到的是半满的杯子，而有些人看到的是半空的杯子，且社会心理学家Sonja Lyubomirsky解释说，幸福包括积极的情绪和对生活的满意度，由此可说明研究者又回到了到半满杯水还是半空杯水这个问题上。故F选项“研究人员面临的问题又回到了半杯水还是半空的问题”符合语境，故选F。 37．根据后文“On the contrary, try something as casual and relaxing as completing a group project at the office or enjoying a hobby with your partner.(相反，尝试一些随意和放松的事情，比如在办公室完成一个小组项目，或者和你的同伴一起享受一个爱好)”可知，后文提到了相反的做法是尝试一些随意和放松的事情，推测本句是在说明从事冒险活动。故G选项“你不必参加高风险的网球比赛或攀登珠穆朗玛峰”符合语境，故选G。 38．根据后文“When it comes to your happiness level, personal relationships have a bigger impact than money, a job title or even your health. “Spending more quality time with your partner, spouse, or kids, or reconnecting with old friends, are sure-fire ways to increase your own and others’ average levels of joy.” Lyubomirsky said “pick a relationship in need of strengthening, and invest time and energy in healing, cultivating and enjoying it.”(当涉及到你的幸福水平时，人际关系比金钱、职位甚至你的健康都有更大的影响。“花更多的时间与你的同伴、配偶或孩子在一起，或者与老朋友重新联系，这些都是提高你自己和他人平均快乐水平的可靠方法。”柳博米尔斯基说：“选择一段需要加强的关系，投入时间和精力来修复、培养和享受它。”)”可知，这一整段的大意是经营一段良好的人际关系可以提升人的幸福感，与A选项“Manage your circles”这一段落主题句构成解释关系。故A选项“管理好你的圈子”符合语境，故选A。 39．根据上文“Lyubomirsky said “pick a relationship in need of strengthening, and invest time and energy in healing, cultivating and enjoying it.”(柳博米尔斯基说：“选择一段需要加强的关系，投入时间和精力来修复、培养和享受它。”)”可知，上文建议投入一段需要加强的关系，即对关系投入，C选项中的代词this指代的就是前一句话的内容，这个小小的投资会带来长远的影响。故C选项“这个小投资可能带来很大的影响”符合语境，故选C。 40．根据上文“Practice random acts of kindness and express gratitude. Take a moment to do nice things for others. “Being kind to other people brings on a lot of positive results. It makes you feel generous and capable, leads you to feel grateful about your own situation, and gives you a greater sense of interconnectedness with the world,” Lyubomirsky said.(偶尔做些善事，表达感激之情。花点时间为别人做些好事。“善待他人会带来很多积极的结果。它让你感到慷慨和有能力，让你对自己的处境感到感激，并给你一种与世界更紧密相连的感觉，”柳博米尔斯基说)”以及后文“And, in turn, the benefit helps nurture your own self- esteem and help get you through the rest of the day or week.(反过来，这种好处有助于培养你的自尊，并帮助你度过一天或一周的剩余时间)”可知，横线前一句的内容是表达做好事所能带来的益处，横线后一句中的in turn以及 helps这两个词说明横线部分依旧在表达做好事所能带来的益处，前后句构成层层递进的关系。D选项中的also也应证了答案。故D选项“它也给别人带来快乐，让他们更喜欢你”符合语境，故选D。 41．C 42．B 43．B 44．A 45．D 46．C 47．A 48．C 49．A 50．D 51．B 52．B 53．A 54．D 55．D 【知识点】记叙文、善行义举（个人） 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲的是Patricia的救援犬Choco失踪近五年后在Penny Scott和另一位社区成员的帮助下与Patricia团聚的故事。

【详解】56．考查形容词比较级。句意：与许多传统零售商相比，它更加重视满足顾客的真实需求，并提供更周到的服务来营造宜人的购物环境。句中出现Compared with many traditional retailers，存在比较范围，需要用形容词great的比较级形式greater修饰名词importance。 57．考查非谓语动词。句意：与许多传统零售商相比，它更加重视满足顾客的真实需求，并提供更周到的服务来营造宜人的购物环境。此处需用动词不定式to create作目的状语，说明提供更周到服务的目的。 58．考查介词。句意：官方援引胖东来作为典型案例，展示优质服务如何助力提振消费者信心。固定搭配cite sth. as sth.表示“援引……作为……”，符合语境逻辑，故用介词as。

This city-wide campaign was launched last month to raise public awareness about environmental protection and promote low-carbon lifestyles. As a participant, I joined in a community cycling event.

You know, exercising and maths aren’t that different. I saw that determination in you. Why don’t you apply it to maths?” At that moment, all my confusion and anxiety ceased. It dawned on me how the simple act of exercising translated all my uneasiness into lessons for growth and self-improvement. Feeling relieved, I walked out of the gym. The next day, stepping into the classroom, I pulled out the maths practice papers confidently. I took a deep breath, settled myself like putting on gloves and started to analyze the questions. Challenging as they still were, I was determined to tackle them, one at a time. Surprisingly, I figured out some of them, and this time I definitely punched maths in the face. I resolved that I needed to keep practicing the maths questions, stay focused and aim for accuracy. 【知识点】学习、体育健身 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在父母的鼓励下从小就开始锻炼，中学时在学校附近的一家健身房学习泰拳，在考试季来临时作者忙着准备考试有两个星期没去健身房，但数学复习不太顺利，在作者向教练倾诉后他让作者来健身房，虽然训练时开始有点困难，但随着时间的流逝，作者发现自己一旦戴上手套沮丧就消失了。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“当我结束训练时，我的教练走近我。”可知，第一段可描写教练鼓励作者将练拳的决心应用到数学上，作者有所感悟，如释重负地走出健身房。 ②由第二段首句内容“第二天，我走进教室，自信地拿出数学练习卷。”可知，第二段可描写作者像练拳时一样静下心来解出了一些题目，决定继续保持专注。 2.续写线索：陪走路——帮助——感谢——陪回家——拒绝——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①停止：cease/stop ②解决：tackle/solve ③计算出：figure out/work out 情绪类 ①困惑：confusion/puzzlement ②惊讶：surprisingly/astonishingly 【点睛】[高分句型1] It dawned on me how the simple act of exercising translated all my uneasiness into lessons for growth and self-improvement.（由it作形式主语，how引导主语从句） [高分句型2] Challenging as they still were, I was determined to tackle them, one at a time.（由as引导的让步状语从句的倒装句） [高分句型3] I resolved that I needed to keep practicing the maths questions, stay focused and aim for accuracy.（由that引导的宾语从句） 答案第12页（共12页） 答案第1页（共12页） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。Are you free on saturday evening?

Oh, check out that piece on the table. It's stunning. That's actually a gold cup from the tongue dynasty, probably used by the wealthy. I saw a silver soup earlier. Do you think this one was used for tea? Probably not. IT was mainly used for drinking wine, especially during toast, with people of higher status. So IT was a kind of status symbol. exactly. And surprisingly, it's considered even more valuable today. Then IT was back then. Why is that? Well. only a few gold cups like this still exist in the world. amazing. Jim, could you take a picture of me pretending to drink from IT? Sorry. but photography isn't aloud in this museum. Oh, right. Maybe i'll buy a postcard of that gold cup from the souvenir shop later. That's a good idea. Come on, let's go and see what else they have here. Oh, check out that piece on the table. It's stunning.

They may scream if you treat them badly, according to an article publish in a magazine. So plants can make sounds when they are stress. Plants interact with insects and other animals all the time, and many of these insects and animals use sales for communication. So IT would be very inconvenient for plans not to use sounds at all. I lac had any told B. B. C. Science focus. With this in mind, the research team started by recording plants sounds. They divided the plants into three groups. One group wasn't watered for five days, another group had the stems cut off, and the last group remained untouched. The microphones caught sounds at a frequency of forty to eighty kilo hearts from the first two groups. The sounds grew louder and louder during the five days of water stress. They then began to decline as the plants dried out. The researchers haven't yet discovered how the sounds are made. After the experiment, the team gathered the data and made software that could tell how plants feel IT could be useful for farmers and monitoring the conditions of their crops.
