It can remind people to sort waste. C. It can store different kinds of waste. 12. What is the key advantage of the collected data? A. Studying the types of waste. B. Improving waste collection efficiency. C. Monitoring people’s waste-sorting behavior. 13. What does the man say about the system? A. It has been widely used. B. It uses the latest technology. C. It helps to make a greener city. 【答案】11. A 12. B 13. C 【解析】 【原文】W: How is this new “smart bin” different from a regular recycling bin? M: It’s not just a container; it’s an AI-powered sorting system. Inside, a camera identifies the material of each item you throw in—plastic, paper, metal—and then a mechanical arm sorts the item into the correct section. W: Isn’t that a bit unnecessary? And what if it makes a mistake? M: Actually, its accuracy rate is over 99%, far better than human sorting. The real benefit is the data. It sends real-time information to the management company. W: What’s the point of that data? M: It allows for super-efficient collection routes. Instead of sending out trucks on a fixed schedule, they only dispatch them when a specific bin is nearly full. This saves fuel, reduces traffic, and cuts down carbon emissions significantly. W: So the intelligence isn’t just for sorting, but for improving the entire collection process. M: Exactly. It’s a small part of building a smarter, more sustainable city. 听下面一段对话，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 14. What is the woman doing? A. Hosting a program. B. Having a job interview. C.

He was devoted to environmental protection. C. He had great passion for the ocean ecosystem. 【答案】14. A 15. A 16. B 17. C 【解析】 【原文】W: Good evening, everyone! Our guest is Kevin Olsen. Kevin works on the coast. His job is to rescue whales, fish, and seabirds when they get into trouble with pollution. Welcome to the program, Kevin. M: Glad to be here, thank you. W: What do you do in your job? M: I spend a lot of time with sea animals, trying to learn what things they need in the environment. If we know that, we can help them survive in the future. W: Can you tell us something about the disaster a short time ago? M: OK. What happened recently is the oil disaster. The birds had oil on their wings, so they couldn’t fly. And they couldn’t eat the fish because the fish were covered with oil. W: Why did you choose this job? It seems quite tough, especially since you often have to work outdoors in difficult conditions. M: Well, I was always interested in the world of the ocean and how the plants and animals fit together in their system. W: Thank you for coming and sharing your story with our audience, Kevin.

Temperatures should drop below ten degrees, so be careful when going outside. If you have to go out, dress warmly and don’t go too far from home. The road conditions might be poor, so avoid driving if you can. You should stock up on food and other necessary items quickly, just in case it’s difficult to leave your house once the storm hits. It looks like the storm should let up by Thursday night, with light rain expected this weekend. Next week it looks dry, but we won’t be getting a break in the cold weather any time soon. On Monday, it looks like a high of five degrees below zero, and on Tuesday, we’ll have a high of three degrees below zero. Sorry for all the bad news, sports fans! And that’s your weather report. Have a great evening, folks! Stay warm and dry! Now, back to Drew with tonight’s business news. 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每小题所给你A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项 A The Most Magical Christmas Cities in the USA Prescott, AZ Prescott has no shortage of Christmas festivities during the holiday season, making it a fun, memorable place to visit in the winter months. On the first Saturday of December, Prescott hosts an annual Christmas Parade and Courthouse Lighting. Once it gets dark, you can gather around the Courthouse to watch the magical lights turn on to kick off the holiday season. Leavenworth, WA One of the most magical places to celebrate the spirit of Christmas is in the Bavarian-themed town of Leavenworth, WA. With over half a million Christmas lights, you are sure to be impressed. See St. Nikolas and visit the Leavenworth Reindeer farm when the reindeer are taking a break from flying practice. Reserve an afternoon sleigh ride or go sledding right on the hills along the main-street. Chicago, IL Chicago is one of the most festive US cities during Christmas.

One of the top things to do is to visit Christkindlmarket where you can purchase decorations and gifts. Other fun activities include skating at outdoor skating rinks and riding on a Christmas-themed train. New York City New York City is one of the most iconic and magical Christmas cities in the USA. There are an endless number of Christmas festivities to partake in and sites to see. Some must-see attractions include the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree and the light show across the street at Saks Fifth Avenue. Also located in midtown are the famous holiday window displays and building decorations. 21. Which city is recommended for sledding lovers? A. Prescott. B. Leavenworth. C. Chicago. D.

Which section of a newspaper is this text most likely from? A. Business. B. Sports. C. Nature. D. Travel. 【答案】21. B 22. A 23. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了美国四个最具魔幻色彩的圣诞城市。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。 根据Leavenworth, WA部分中的“Reserve an afternoon sleigh ride or go sledding right on the hills along the main-street.(预定一个下午的雪橇之旅，或者沿着主要街道去山上滑雪)”可知，对于喜欢滑雪橇的人来说，利文沃斯（Leavenworth）是推荐的城市。故选B。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Prescott, AZ部分中的“Once it gets dark, you can gather around the Courthouse to watch the magical lights turn on to kick off the holiday season.(夜幕降临后，你可以聚集在法院周围，观看神奇的灯光点亮，拉开节日的序幕)”； Leavenworth, WA部分中的“With over half a million Christmas lights, you are sure to be impressed.(这里有超过50万盏圣诞彩灯，你一定会印象深刻)”；Chicago, IL部分中的“You can find many holiday activities and events including an authentic Christmas market, holiday light displays, and more.(你可以找到许多节日活动和事件，包括一个真正的圣诞市场，节日灯展，等等)”以及New York City部分中的“Some must-see attractions include the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree and the light show across the street at Saks Fifth Avenue.(一些必看的景点包括洛克菲勒中心的圣诞树和街对面萨克斯第五大道的灯光秀)”可知，这些地方的共同点是它们都有灯光展示。故选A。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章标题The Most Magical Christmas Cities in the USA及下文内容可知，文章主要介绍了美国四个最具魔幻色彩的圣诞城市及其在圣诞节期间的特色活动和景点。由此推知，这篇文章最有可能来自报纸的旅游板块。故选D。 B Two friends are seated in a busy restaurant. They acknowledge it has been “too long” since they last caught up. Then a tense silence follows. One friend asks, “So, how are you?” Such a simple question weighs heavily on the other. She forces a smile and replies, “I’m fine. How are you?” The strange part is that she doesn’t say it intentionally. “Fine” seems to arrive on its own before she even questions if it’s true. For many of us, being “fine” is a reflex, like pulling our hands back from something hot before we feel the pain. This behavioral pattern sticks because it works, at least on a surface level. It keeps the childhood dinner table calm, or a boss from further asking personal questions. “Fine” creates a boundary without us having to voice the need for space. There is a trade-off, of course. “I’m fine” isn’t so much a lie. Rather, it’s a stand-in for something more authentic (真实的) and complicated. Often we lack the time, safety or language to name what is under “fine”. The reflex to be “fine” becomes so automatic that rarely does anyone get a real answer, including ourselves. This “I’m fine” reflex is seldom built in a single event. Instead it’s incubated in moments when “fine” keeps things working: with easily stressed parents, or in a household where no one truly cares to listen when asking “how are you”. None of the exchanges has to be dramatic to leave a mark; enough repetition tells the nervous system that honesty here is unsafe or unwanted. Fortunately, once identified, the reflex can be changed — just a brief pause (暂停) before saying “fine”. In that pause, you don’t even have to voice the truth to break the habit; start simply by noticing the gap between the automatic answer and the real one. Then start with one low-pressure person, like a friend, to practise honest replies before opening up to others. 24. Why does the author mention the two friends in paragraph 1? A. To share communication skills. B. To give a reason for small talk. C. To introduce a response pattern. D. To illustrate the safe social distance. 25. What can we infer about the “I’m fine” reflex? A. It allows people some personal space. B. It is a white lie meant to hide bad moods. C. It does more harm than good in daily life. D. It efficiently expresses complicated emotions. 26. What does the underlined word “incubated” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Hidden. B. Replaced. C. Developed. D. Discovered. 27. What is suggested in the last paragraph? A. Questioning the honesty of others. B. Sharing pressure with trusted friends. C. Avoiding simple answers in conversations. D. Examining automatic replies before speaking. 【答案】24. C 25. A 26. C 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文深入剖析了人们在被问“你好吗”时习惯性回答“我很好（I’m fine）”这一普遍社交现象，探讨了其形成原因、潜在代价以及改变方法。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“One friend asks, “So, how are you?” Such a simple question weighs heavily on the other. She forces a smile and replies, “I’m fine. How are you?”(其中一位朋友问道：“那你怎么样？”这个简单问题让对方感到沉重。她强挤出一丝微笑，回答道：“我挺好的，你呢？”)”可知，作者在第一段中提到两位朋友的原因是为了介绍一种回应模式。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“It keeps the childhood dinner table calm, or a boss from further asking personal questions. “Fine” creates a boundary without us having to voice the need for space.(它能让童年时的餐桌保持平静，也能让上司不再追问私密问题。“挺好的”创造了一种界限，而我们无需明确表达自己需要空间。)”可知，“我很好”这一句回答为人们提供了一些个人空间。 【26题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“This “I’m fine” reflex is seldom built in a single event.(这种“我挺好的”的反应，通常并非源于单一事件。)”和“moments when “fine” keeps things working: with easily stressed parents, or in a household where no one truly cares to listen when asking “how are you”(那些说“很好”就能让事情维持运转的时刻：面对容易焦虑的父母，或是在一个问“你怎么样”却没人真正愿意倾听的家庭里)”可知，“I’m fine”这句话不是在单一事件中养成的，而是在“说‘很好’就能让事情维持运转”的时刻养成，incubated的意思是“养成”，和developed意思相近。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“In that pause, you don’t even have to voice the truth to break the habit; start simply by noticing the gap between the automatic answer and the real one. Then start with one low-pressure person, like a friend, to practise honest replies before opening up to others.(在那个停顿里，你甚至不必说出真相就能打破这个习惯；先从留意自动化回答和真实回答之间的差距开始。然后从一个让你感到压力小的人（比如朋友）开始，练习诚实的回答，之后再向其他人敞开心扉。)”可知，最后一段建议在说话前检查自动化回答。 C Recently, the Solvia ED AI Binoculars (双筒望远镜), created by Shenzhen-based Matatalab, is an all-in-one outdoor tool that redefines what a telescope can do. Launched on Kickstarter, it quickly exploded onto global trending lists, celebrated by overseas users as a “game-changer” and “absolute legend” for integrating high-end optics (光学), real-time photography, and instant AI recognition into one portable device and dominating tech discussions across TikTok, Twitter, and international forums. Unlike common telescopes, this signature product with AI technology solves the age-old problem of “can see but can’t shoot.” It can help users watch clearly, take high-quality photos and videos easily, and recognize different living things at the same time, without switching devices, manual focus or delay. What users see through the telescope is recorded at once without any delay. Besides, built-in AI image stabilization, and low-light enhancement ensure excellent shots even in challenging conditions. Wi-Fi lets you instantly share photos / videos to your phone or social media. Trained on over 100 GB of wildlife data, the binoculars identifies more than 10,000 species of birds, plants, and wildlife in one second with 98% accuracy. It is very helpful for nature lovers, hikers and students. Even beginners instantly become nature experts, with species information popping up on the connected phone app. The product is light and easy to carry, and it works well in different outdoor situations. But this isn’t just a small device — it’s a tremendous shift in outdoor exploration. By combining “see + shoot + identify” in one device, it turns casual observers into documentarians and nature lovers into instant experts. As one foreign blogger put it, “This isn’t just a telescope. It’s a pocket naturalist and a high-end camera rolled into one — absolutely legendary.” This creative invention has become a new example of how Chinese products surprise the world. 28. What has made the Shenzhen AI telescope famous abroad? A. Its low price. B. Its large size. C. Its multiple functions. D. Its eye-catching appearance. 29. What is an advantage the AI telescope has over the previous ones? A. It can be easily carried outdoors. B. It can be used only in good weather. C. It can record the view in real time. D. It can work without Internet access. 30. What does the underlined word “documentarians” mean? A. Those who enjoy watching documentary. B. Those who are fond of going outdoors. C. Those who have great passion for nature. D. Those who specialize in recording life. 31. From which is the passage probably taken? A. A news report. B. A science fiction. C. A survey paper. D. An academic essay. 【答案】28. C 29. C 30. D 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文摘自一篇新闻报道，介绍深圳一款火爆外网的AI双筒望远镜，能够能帮助用户清晰观看画面的同时，无需切换设备、手动对焦或延时就可以实现轻松拍摄高清照片和视频，还能同时识别不同生物的功能。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Launched on Kickstarter, it quickly exploded onto global trending lists, celebrated by overseas users as a “game-changer” and “absolute legend” for integrating high-end optics (光学), real-time photography, and instant AI recognition into one portable device and dominating tech discussions across TikTok, Twitter, and international forums.(它在Kickstarter平台上启动后，迅速登上了全球热门榜单，海外用户将其誉为“游戏规则改变者”和“绝对传奇”，称赞其将高端光学、实时摄影以及即时AI识别功能整合到了一款便携设备中，并在TikTok、推特和国际论坛上主导了科技讨论)”可知，它将高端光学（光学）、实时摄影和即时AI识别整合到一个便携设备中”，正是融合了这三大功能让它走红。故选C。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Unlike common telescopes, this signature product with AI technology solves the age-old problem of “can see but can’t shoot.”(与普通望远镜不同，这款融合了人工智能技术的特色产品解决了“能看但不能拍摄”的长期难题)”和“What users see through the telescope is recorded at once without any delay.(用户通过望远镜看到的内容会立即被记录下来，没有任何延迟)”可知，它解决传统望远镜的固有缺陷——虽然能清晰观测，却难以拍摄出优质图像，并且用户通过望远镜所见内容可立刻实时记录，无需任何延迟。故选C。 【30题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四“By combining “see + shoot + identify” in one device, it turns casual observers into documentarians and nature lovers into instant experts.(通过将“观察+拍摄+识别”功能集于一体，它将普通观察者转变为documentarians，将热爱自然的人转变为即时专家)”可知，通过将“观察+拍摄+识别”功能集成于单一设备，它让普通观察者也能成为纪录片制作者，也能让自然爱好者瞬间成为专家，所以划线单词意为“专门记录生活的人”。故选D。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据全文内容，结合第一段中“Recently, the Solvia ED AI Binoculars (双筒望远镜), created by Shenzhen-based Matatalab, is an all-in-one outdoor tool that redefines what a telescope can do.(最近，由深圳Matatalab公司研发的Solvia ED人工智能双筒望远镜，是一款集多种功能于一体的户外工具，它重新定义了望远镜所能实现的功能)”可知，本文介绍近期火上外网的由深圳Matatalab（玛塔创想）研发的Solvia ED双筒望火爆，并引用了外国网络博主的点评说明该产品的惊艳，所以是一篇新闻报道，故选A。 D Decision fatigue (决策疲劳) is a psychological phenomenon where the quality of decisions declines after a long session of decision-making. It is caused by the limited mental energy we have for making choices each day. While many of us believe we are logical beings capable of weighing every option carefully, decision fatigue shows how our mental resources can be used up over time. One of the key studies on this phenomenon was conducted in the context of parole hearings (假释听证会). Researchers found that judges were more likely to approve of parole early in the day or after a meal break. As the day progressed and the judges made more decisions, they were increasingly likely to maintain their previous decisions, denying parole simply because it required less mental effort. Decision fatigue affects not only major life choices but also everyday decisions. For instance, people often report struggling to decide what to eat for dinner after a long day. Similarly, too many choices, such as when looking through streaming platforms or online stores, can leave individuals feeling confused, leading them to abandon the process entirely or settle for a less satisfying option. To overcome decision fatigue, some well-known figures have adopted strategies to simplify their daily routines. For example, Nobel Prize-winning physicist Albert Einstein was known for owning multiple identical suits to avoid wasting energy on deciding what to wear each day. In a different context, author Haruki Murakami has shared that he maintains a strict daily routine, including specific writing hours and exercise, to free up mental capacity for his creative work. Understanding decision fatigue can help us structure our lives more effectively. Prioritizing important decisions earlier in the day or setting up routines to minimize unnecessary choices are strategies to preserve mental energy. By managing our mental resources wisely, we can make sound decisions and reduce the stress associated with overwhelming choices. 32. What leads to decision fatigue according to the text? A. The lack of time to make decisions. B. The difficulty of making logical choices. C. The stress from making important decisions. D. The limited mental energy for decision-making. 33. What does the study on parole hearings reveal? A. Judges are much stricter after long breaks. B. Decision fatigue can lead to unfair outcomes. C. Fatigue causes judges to avoid complicated cases. D. External factors have no impact on decision-making. 34. What does the author suggest readers shopping online do? A. Make quick decisions. B. Compare different products. C. Limit the number of choices. D. Choose the most popular products. 35. What is the purpose of adopting routines? A. To reduce the stress of daily work. B. To increase decision-making quality. C. To enhance overall life satisfaction. D. To create more decision-making chances. 【答案】32. D 33. B 34. C 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了决策疲劳这一心理学现象，即长时间做决策导致决策质量下降，并探讨了其原因、影响及应对策略。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“It is caused by the limited mental energy we have for making choices each day.(它是由我们每天做选择的有限的精神能量造成的。)”可知，决策疲劳是由有限的决策精力导致的。故选D。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Researchers found that judges were more likely to approve of parole early in the day or after a meal break. As the day progressed and the judges made more decisions, they were increasingly likely to maintain their previous decisions, denying parole simply because it required less mental effort.(研究人员发现，法官更有可能在当天早些时候或用餐休息后批准假释。随着时间的推移，法官们做出了更多的决定，他们越来越有可能维持之前的决定，拒绝假释只是因为这需要更少的脑力劳动。)”可知，随着法官做出的决定越来越多，他们因为决策疲劳而倾向于维持之前的决定，这可能导致不公平的假释结果。由此可推知，关于假释听证会的研究揭示了决策疲劳可能导致不公平的结果。故选 B。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Similarly, too many choices, such as when looking through streaming platforms or online stores, can leave individuals feeling confused, leading them to abandon the process entirely or settle for a less satisfying option.(同样，太多的选择，比如通过流媒体平台或在线商店，会让个人感到困惑，导致他们完全放弃这个过程，或者满足于一个不太令人满意的选择。)”可知，作者提到网购时太多的选择会让人困惑。由此可推知，作者建议限制选择的数量。故选C。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Prioritizing important decisions earlier in the day or setting up routines to minimize unnecessary choices are strategies to preserve mental energy.(在一天的早些时候优先考虑重要的决定，或者建立日常生活，以尽量减少不必要的选择，这些都是保持精神能量的策略。)”可知，制定常规流程的目的是保存精神能量，从而提高决策质量。故选B。 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。 Four Things You Must Know About College Degrees Are you getting ready to begin college, to head back to school after a few years off, or are you just exploring your options? ____36____ Here’s a quick overview of several key facts that will serve you well as you aim for an education certificate. Online study can ‘save you big bucks In modern society, it’s becoming easier to attend school online. If you choose a school’s online program, it’s possible to save as much as 50 percent over in-person. ____37____ Be aware that institutions that offer online study sometimes have a more limited range of courses and majors for those e-degree programs. Check if your desired subjects are part of the e-curriculum. ____38____ Getting your degree and paying for it are two completely different challenges. That’s why it’s essential to get financing arranged before you choose your college or pick your major. If you don’t have the money situation taken care of, schools simply won’t let you begin the coursework. The good news is that you can take out a student loan from a private lender and get the entire payment issue resolved quickly. Do career research before choosing a major It’s important to choose a major that has realistic job prospects for graduates. You might love art history or linguistic philosophy. ____39____ Accounting, IT, advertising and engineering are all sensible choices. Ask the school administrators what their most popular majors are, what job placement rates are，and whether they offer internships for seniors in their fields of study. Concentrate on application essays When you fill out applications for the schools that interest you, don’t just rush through the paperwork. Some of it is merely standard, fill-in-the-blank information. ____40____ You’ll need to be careful when filling out these kinds of items as admissions offices tend to focus on your essay, scores on standardized tests, grades, and job history. A. Arrange financing first B. Work while earning a degree C. Therefore, spend at least one hour on each essay D. But most applications usually contain at least one essay-type question E.

D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文总结了关于获取大学学位期间对你有用的几项相关事实。 【36题详解】 根据上文“Are you getting ready to begin college, to head back to school after a few years off, or are you just exploring your options?(你是准备好上大学了吗？是休学几年后重返校园，还是只是在探索自己的选择？)”以及后文“Here’s a quick overview of several key facts that will serve you well as you aim for an education certificate.(以下是对几个关键事实的快速概述，这些事实将有助于你获得教育证书)”可知，首段总领全文，本句为过渡句，旨在引出后文的几项基本事实。选项E“了解关于当今社会学位的几项基本事实十分重要”符合题意。故选E。 【37题详解】 由第一个小标题“Online study can ‘save you big bucks(在线学习可以帮你省下一大笔钱)”以及上文“In modern society, it’s becoming easier to attend school online. If you choose a school’s online program, it’s possible to save as much as 50 percent over in-person.(在现代社会，网上上学变得越来越容易。如果你选择学校的在线课程，可能会比亲自去学校节省50%的费用)”可知，本段主要围绕“大学在线学习能够帮助省钱”这一点展开，且上文提到了选择在线课程可以省钱，即建议不必亲自去学校，故F选项“若非有必须亲身参加课程的理由，可以权衡各种选择”符合段意。故选F。 【38题详解】 根据本段内容“Getting your degree and paying for it are two completely different challenges. That’s why it’s essential to get financing arranged before you choose your college or pick your major. If you don’t have the money situation taken care of, schools simply won’t let you begin the coursework. The good news is that you can take out a student loan from a private lender and get the entire payment issue resolved quickly.(获得学位和支付学费是两种完全不同的挑战。这就是为什么在你选择大学或专业之前安排好资金是很重要的。如果你不考虑钱的问题，学校根本不会让你开始课程。好消息是，你可以从私人贷款机构申请学生贷款，很快就能解决整个付款问题)”可知，本段主要谈及获取学位之前，安排好经济问题也很重要。A选项“先安排经济”符合题意。故选A。 【39题详解】 由第三个小标题“Do career research before choosing a major(在选择专业前做职业调查)”可知，本段强调了选择专业之前的职业调研的重要性。空格前句“It’s important to choose a major that has realistic job prospects for graduates. You might love art history or linguistic philosophy.(选择一个对毕业生来说有现实就业前景的专业是很重要的。你可能喜欢艺术史或语言哲学)”所谈人文专业与教学行业有关，而后句“Accounting, IT, advertising and engineering are all sensible choices.(会计、IT、广告和工程都是明智的选择)”所指为更加实用的专业，两句间构成转折关系，G选项“然而，除非你的目标是把你的职业局限在教学上，否则你可以选择一些更实用的专业”承上启下，符合题意。故选G。 【40题详解】 根据第四个小标题“Concentrate on application essays(专注于申请论文)”可知，作者强调专注申请大学表格中的长段文论部分，而空格前一句为“Some of it is merely standard，fill-in-the-blank information.(有些申请表只是标准的信息填空)”可知，本句主要是在说明申请表的常规内容，D选项“大部分申请表都会包含至少一个长篇论述的问题”承上启下，呼应标题，符合题意。故选D。 第三部分 语言运用 完形填空（共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Last spring, my grandmother gave me a small box of tomato seeds. “Plant them in the yard,” she said, “and you’ll have your own tomatoes in summer.” I was ____41____ and couldn’t wait to start.

In short, Chinese companies are no longer defined by low prices. They are building brands, adapting to local markets ____65____ going head-to-head with established global players. 【答案】56. to find 57. increasingly 58. recognised 59. competition 60. has been 61. from 62. which 63. countries 64. an 65. and 【解析】 【导语】本文主要以霸王茶姬、蜜雪冰城、名创优品、比亚迪为例，讲述中国企业从过去低成本的“世界工厂”，转型打造国际知名品牌；国内激烈竞争促使企业出海，它们因地制宜打造品牌，和国际老牌企业展开竞争。 【56题详解】 考查不定式。句意：走进新加坡任意一家购物中心，你很可能看到一些店名吸睛、招牌色彩鲜亮的店铺外排着蜿蜒的长队。sb. be likely to do是固定短语，意为“某人可能做某事”，因此空格处用不定式to find。 【57题详解】 考查副词。句意：霸王茶姬、蜜雪冰城等中国品牌不仅在亚洲吸引大量顾客，在全球范围内也越来越受欢迎。空格处用副词increasingly修饰形容词worldwide，increasingly意为“越来越多地”。 【58题详解】 考查形容词。句意：除时装品牌和玩具店外，这些茶饮连锁品牌代表着一种转变：中国正从低成本制造，转向打造获得全球认可的消费品牌。空格处用形容词recognised作定语，修饰名词短语consumer brands，recognised意为“被认可的”。 【59题详解】 考查名词。句意：然而，国内激烈的竞争，让出海扩张成为必然选择。domestic是形容词，修饰名词，此处表示“竞争”，名词是competition，是不可数名词，作主语。 【60题详解】 考查时态和主谓一致。句意：过去几十年，中国一直是“世界工厂”，为西方企业生产商品。由over the past decades可知，句子时态是现在完成时，主语China是一个国家，助动词用has。 【61题详解】 考查介词。句意：名创优品这类企业就得益于这类技术经验。benefit from是固定短语，意为“从……获益”，因此空格处用介词from。 【62题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：这家主营玩具与影视周边产品的连锁店，目前在全球半数以上国家开店，把消费者体验放在首位。空格处引导非限制性定语从句，从句中缺少主语，先行词The chain store是物，因此用关系代词which引导定语从句。 【63题详解】 考查名词的复数。句意：这家主营玩具与影视周边产品的连锁店，目前在全球半数以上国家开店，把消费者体验放在首位。country是可数名词，有很多，因此用复数。 【64题详解】 考查冠词。句意：除消费品领域外，比亚迪已成为全球最大电动汽车制造商，目前正在研发超快充系统，力图围绕自家汽车打造一个生态体系。ecosystem是可数名词的单数形式，表泛指“一个生态体系”，ecosystem是元音音素开头，因此不定冠词用an。 【65题详解】 考查连词。句意：它们正在打造品牌、适配各地本土市场，与老牌国际巨头正面竞争。building brands, adapting to local markets和going head-to-head with established global players之间是并列关系，因此用and表并列。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 66. 假定你是高中生李华，你校英语报正在开展关于“社区服务是否该列入毕业条件”的讨论，请你写一篇文章投稿，内容包括： (1)你的观点； (2)你的理由。 注意： (1)写作词数应为80左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Should Community Service be a Requirement for Graduation? ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Should Community Service be a Requirement for Graduation? As a high school student, I firmly believe that community service should be included as a graduation requirement. Firstly, community service should be a graduation requirement because it benefits society and promotes students’ growth. By volunteering, students develop empathy and social responsibility, which are crucial for personal development. Additionally, they gain invaluable skills like teamwork and problem-solving. If schools mandate community service, students will contribute more to their communities. This requirement fosters compassion and strengthens society, making it essential for education. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文。要求考生给校英语报投稿，发表对“社区服务是否该列入毕业条件”的看法。 【详解】1.词汇积累 同情：empathy→sympathy 关键的：crucial→essential 宝贵的：invaluable→precious 强制要求：mandate→require 2.句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：This requirement fosters compassion and strengthens society, making it essential for education. 拓展句：This requirement, which fosters compassion and strengthens society, should be made essential for education. 【点睛】【高分句型1】As a high school student, I firmly believe that community service should be included as a graduation requirement.（运用了that引导的宾语从句） 【高分句型2】If schools mandate community service, students will contribute more to their communities.（运用了if引导的条件状语从句） 第二节 读后续写（满分25分） 67. 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。 On the first Sunday of summer vacation, Mia and Prisha were waiting at Mia’s house for a special delivery — the newest issue of their favourite comic book (漫画书), Galatia Woman. It was about a superheroine who fought the enemies of the Earth. When the bell rang, the friends quickly greeted the postman and grabbed the envelope from his hand. Mia opened it and surprisingly found a letter from the publisher. She read, “Dear readers, we’re sorry to inform you that the comic series, Galatia Woman, has been discontinued.” Both of them looked up in horror. Their favourite comic, which they had been reading since they were twelve, had been cancelled! Losing the comic felt like losing a part of themselves. They couldn’t sit around and do nothing. The next morning, they found the writer’s address printed inside the comic and decided to find the writer, Lekha. When they knocked at the door, a girl slightly older than them opened it. After introducing themselves, the girls were astonished to find it was Lekha herself. Still in astonishment, the girls couldn’t wait to ask Lekha what would happen next in the story. Lekha let out a deep sigh and explained she could not tell them because she was completely stuck. Upon hearing this, the girls’ hearts sank with disappointment. Even so, they still voiced the question that had been weighing on their minds: Why didn’t Galatia seek help from her knights (骑士) to defeat the enemies? Lekha insisted firmly that the heroine herself was powerful enough and didn’t need any help. “But I can’t even imagine stepping out of my house without my friends. Everyone needs a friend or someone to rely on,” Prisha spoke up. “I… never had any friends. That’s why I wanted Galatia to fight alone and never need help,” Lekha said weakly. Mia seemed to realize something. She spoke softly, “Perhaps we could become your friends and help you continue the story.” Hearing this, Lekha fell silent and then nodded slowly. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Over the next few hours, the kids worked out various storylines. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A month later, Mia and Prisha received the latest comic titled Galatia with Two Knights. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Over the next few hours, the kids worked out various storylines. They shared their own experiences of supporting each other through tough moments, adding vivid details that Galatia finally turned to her two loyal knights for help when facing a powerful enemy. Lekha’s eyes lit up, and the previously stuck plot flowed smoothly. The three laughed and brainstormed, and the lonely writer soon felt the warmth of friendship she had never experienced before. A month later, Mia and Prisha received the latest comic titled Galatia with Two Knights. The comic’s ending was far more touching than they had ever expected. At the end of the book, there was a special note from Lekha: “This story’s two knights are not fictional characters — they are two lovely girls who gave me friendship and new inspiration.” The three little friends knew their adventure with Galatia would never end. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述女孩Mia和Prisha是漫画Galatia Woman的忠实读者，得知该漫画停刊后，两人决定去找作者Lekha，Lekha解释说自己没有朋友，创作陷入困境，听完后Mia提出她们可以成为Lekha的朋友，一起帮助完成创作。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写三人共同创作的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可点明两人读漫画、收到作者Lekha的感谢，并点明“人人都需要友谊”的主题。 2.续写线索：共同创作——感受到友情温暖——漫画结局感人——作者感谢——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①支持：support/back up ②期待：expect/anticipate 情绪类 ①孤独的：lonely/solitary ②感人的：touching/moving 【点睛】[高分句型1] They shared their own experiences of supporting each other through tough moments, adding vivid details that Galatia finally turned to her two loyal knights for help when facing a powerful enemy.（由连接词that引导同位语从句和when引导的状语从句的省略） [高分句型2] This story’s two knights are not fictional characters — they are two lovely girls who gave me friendship and new inspiration.（由关系代词who引导定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $英语科听力部分，该部分分为第一第二两节。注意回答听力部分时，请先将答案标在试卷上。听力部分结束前，你将有两分钟的时间将你的答案转涂到答题卡上。现在是听力试音时间。Hello. international friends club, can I help you?

It's not just a container. It's an AI powered sorting system. Inside, a camera identifies the material of each item you to win plastic, paper, metal, and then a mechanical ARM sorts the item into the correct section. Isn't that a bit unnecessary? And what if IT makes a mistake? Actually, its accuracy rate is over ninety nine percent, far Better than human sorting. The real benefit is the data. IT sends a real time information to the management company. What's the point of that data? IT allows for super efficient collection routes. Instead of sending out trucks on a fixed schedule, they only dispatch them when a specific bin is nearly full. This saves fuel, reduces traffic and cuts down carbon emissions significantly. So the intelligence isn't just for sorting, but for improving the entire collection process exactly. It's a small part of building a smarter, more sustainable city. How is this news?

Although we thought we were in the clear after a week of dry weather, there's a huge storm coming in from the east. We should expect heavy snowfall by tomorrow morning. Temperatures should reach below ten degrees, so be careful when going outside. If you have to go out to dress warmly and don't go too far from home, the road condition might be poor, so avoid driving if you can. You should stock up on food and other necessary items quickly, just in case it's difficult to leave your house. Once the storm hits, IT looks like the storm should let up by thursday night, with light rain expected this weekend. Next week, IT looks dry, but we won't be getting a break in the cold weather any time soon. On monday, IT looks like a higher five degrees below zero. And on tuesday, we'll have a high of three degrees below zero. Sorry for all the bad news sports fans, and that's your weather report. Have a great evening, folks. Stay warm and dry. Now back to drew with tonight's business news. Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. This is mark Harris here with this week's weather report.

On the first Saturday of December, Prescott hosts an annual Christmas Parade and Courthouse Lighting. Once it gets dark, you can gather around the Courthouse to watch the magical lights turn on to kick off the holiday season. Leavenworth, WA One of the most magical places to celebrate the spirit of Christmas is in the Bavarian-themed town of Leavenworth, WA. With over half a million Christmas lights, you are sure to be impressed. See St. Nikolas and visit the Leavenworth Reindeer farm when the reindeer are taking a break from flying practice. Reserve an afternoon sleigh ride or go sledding right on the hills along the main-street. Chicago, IL Chicago is one of the most festive US cities during Christmas. You can find many holiday activities and events including an authentic Christmas market, holiday light displays, and more. One of the top things to do is to visit Christkindlmarket where you can purchase decorations and gifts. Other fun activities include skating at outdoor skating rinks and riding on a Christmas-themed train. New York City New York City is one of the most iconic and magical Christmas cities in the USA. There are an endless number of Christmas festivities to partake in and sites to see. Some must-see attractions include the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree and the light show across the street at Saks Fifth Avenue. Also located in midtown are the famous holiday window displays and building decorations. 21. Which city is recommended for sledding lovers? A. Prescott. B. Leavenworth. C. Chicago. D. New York City. 22. What do the listed places have in common? A. They have light displays. B. They host winter sports events. C. They have Christmas markets. D. They have holiday window displays. 23. Which section of a newspaper is this text most likely from? A. Business. B. Sports. C. Nature. D. Travel. B Two friends are seated in a busy restaurant. They acknowledge it has been “too long” since they last caught up. Then a tense silence follows. One friend asks, “So, how are you?” Such a simple question weighs heavily on the other. She forces a smile and replies, “I’m fine. How are you?” The strange part is that she doesn’t say it intentionally. “Fine” seems to arrive on its own before she even questions if it’s true. For many of us, being “fine” is a reflex, like pulling our hands back from something hot before we feel the pain. This behavioral pattern sticks because it works, at least on a surface level. It keeps the childhood dinner table calm, or a boss from further asking personal questions. “Fine” creates a boundary without us having to voice the need for space. There is a trade-off, of course. “I’m fine” isn’t so much a lie. Rather, it’s a stand-in for something more authentic (真实的) and complicated. Often we lack the time, safety or language to name what is under “fine”. The reflex to be “fine” becomes so automatic that rarely does anyone get a real answer, including ourselves. This “I’m fine” reflex is seldom built in a single event. Instead it’s incubated in moments when “fine” keeps things working: with easily stressed parents, or in a household where no one truly cares to listen when asking “how are you”. None of the exchanges has to be dramatic to leave a mark; enough repetition tells the nervous system that honesty here is unsafe or unwanted. Fortunately, once identified, the reflex can be changed — just a brief pause (暂停) before saying “fine”. In that pause, you don’t even have to voice the truth to break the habit; start simply by noticing the gap between the automatic answer and the real one. Then start with one low-pressure person, like a friend, to practise honest replies before opening up to others. 24. Why does the author mention the two friends in paragraph 1? A. To share communication skills. B. To give a reason for small talk. C. To introduce a response pattern. D. To illustrate the safe social distance. 25. What can we infer about the “I’m fine” reflex? A. It allows people some personal space. B. It is a white lie meant to hide bad moods. C. It does more harm than good in daily life. D. It efficiently expresses complicated emotions. 26. What does the underlined word “incubated” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Hidden. B. Replaced. C. Developed. D. Discovered. 27. What is suggested in the last paragraph? A. Questioning the honesty of others. B. Sharing pressure with trusted friends. C. Avoiding simple answers in conversations. D. Examining automatic replies before speaking. C Recently, the Solvia ED AI Binoculars (双筒望远镜), created by Shenzhen-based Matatalab, is an all-in-one outdoor tool that redefines what a telescope can do. Launched on Kickstarter, it quickly exploded onto global trending lists, celebrated by overseas users as a “game-changer” and “absolute legend” for integrating high-end optics (光学), real-time photography, and instant AI recognition into one portable device and dominating tech discussions across TikTok, Twitter, and international forums. Unlike common telescopes, this signature product with AI technology solves the age-old problem of “can see but can’t shoot.” It can help users watch clearly, take high-quality photos and videos easily, and recognize different living things at the same time, without switching devices, manual focus or delay. What users see through the telescope is recorded at once without any delay. Besides, built-in AI image stabilization, and low-light enhancement ensure excellent shots even in challenging conditions. Wi-Fi lets you instantly share photos / videos to your phone or social media. Trained on over 100 GB of wildlife data, the binoculars identifies more than 10,000 species of birds, plants, and wildlife in one second with 98% accuracy. It is very helpful for nature lovers, hikers and students. Even beginners instantly become nature experts, with species information popping up on the connected phone app. The product is light and easy to carry, and it works well in different outdoor situations. But this isn’t just a small device — it’s a tremendous shift in outdoor exploration. By combining “see + shoot + identify” in one device, it turns casual observers into documentarians and nature lovers into instant experts. As one foreign blogger put it, “This isn’t just a telescope. It’s a pocket naturalist and a high-end camera rolled into one — absolutely legendary.” This creative invention has become a new example of how Chinese products surprise the world. 28. What has made the Shenzhen AI telescope famous abroad? A. Its low price. B. Its large size. C. Its multiple functions. D. Its eye-catching appearance. 29. What is an advantage the AI telescope has over the previous ones? A. It can be easily carried outdoors. B. It can be used only in good weather. C. It can record the view in real time. D. It can work without Internet access. 30. What does the underlined word “documentarians” mean? A. Those who enjoy watching documentary. B. Those who are fond of going outdoors. C. Those who have great passion for nature. D. Those who specialize in recording life. 31. From which is the passage probably taken? A. A news report. B. A science fiction. C. A survey paper. D. An academic essay. D Decision fatigue (决策疲劳) is a psychological phenomenon where the quality of decisions declines after a long session of decision-making. It is caused by the limited mental energy we have for making choices each day. While many of us believe we are logical beings capable of weighing every option carefully, decision fatigue shows how our mental resources can be used up over time. One of the key studies on this phenomenon was conducted in the context of parole hearings (假释听证会). Researchers found that judges were more likely to approve of parole early in the day or after a meal break. As the day progressed and the judges made more decisions, they were increasingly likely to maintain their previous decisions, denying parole simply because it required less mental effort. Decision fatigue affects not only major life choices but also everyday decisions. For instance, people often report struggling to decide what to eat for dinner after a long day. Similarly, too many choices, such as when looking through streaming platforms or online stores, can leave individuals feeling confused, leading them to abandon the process entirely or settle for a less satisfying option. To overcome decision fatigue, some well-known figures have adopted strategies to simplify their daily routines. For example, Nobel Prize-winning physicist Albert Einstein was known for owning multiple identical suits to avoid wasting energy on deciding what to wear each day. In a different context, author Haruki Murakami has shared that he maintains a strict daily routine, including specific writing hours and exercise, to free up mental capacity for his creative work. Understanding decision fatigue can help us structure our lives more effectively. Prioritizing important decisions earlier in the day or setting up routines to minimize unnecessary choices are strategies to preserve mental energy. By managing our mental resources wisely, we can make sound decisions and reduce the stress associated with overwhelming choices. 32. What leads to decision fatigue according to the text? A. The lack of time to make decisions. B. The difficulty of making logical choices. C. The stress from making important decisions. D. The limited mental energy for decision-making. 33. What does the study on parole hearings reveal? A. Judges are much stricter after long breaks. B. Decision fatigue can lead to unfair outcomes. C. Fatigue causes judges to avoid complicated cases. D. External factors have no impact on decision-making. 34. What does the author suggest readers shopping online do? A. Make quick decisions. B. Compare different products. C. Limit the number of choices. D. Choose the most popular products. 35. What is the purpose of adopting routines? A. To reduce the stress of daily work. B. To increase decision-making quality. C. To enhance overall life satisfaction. D. To create more decision-making chances. 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。 Four Things You Must Know About College Degrees Are you getting ready to begin college, to head back to school after a few years off, or are you just exploring your options? ____36____ Here’s a quick overview of several key facts that will serve you well as you aim for an education certificate.

It was about a superheroine who fought the enemies of the Earth. When the bell rang, the friends quickly greeted the postman and grabbed the envelope from his hand. Mia opened it and surprisingly found a letter from the publisher. She read, “Dear readers, we’re sorry to inform you that the comic series, Galatia Woman, has been discontinued.” Both of them looked up in horror. Their favourite comic, which they had been reading since they were twelve, had been cancelled! Losing the comic felt like losing a part of themselves. They couldn’t sit around and do nothing. The next morning, they found the writer’s address printed inside the comic and decided to find the writer, Lekha. When they knocked at the door, a girl slightly older than them opened it. After introducing themselves, the girls were astonished to find it was Lekha herself. Still in astonishment, the girls couldn’t wait to ask Lekha what would happen next in the story. Lekha let out a deep sigh and explained she could not tell them because she was completely stuck. Upon hearing this, the girls’ hearts sank with disappointment. Even so, they still voiced the question that had been weighing on their minds: Why didn’t Galatia seek help from her knights (骑士) to defeat the enemies? Lekha insisted firmly that the heroine herself was powerful enough and didn’t need any help. “But I can’t even imagine stepping out of my house without my friends. Everyone needs a friend or someone to rely on,” Prisha spoke up. “I… never had any friends. That’s why I wanted Galatia to fight alone and never need help,” Lekha said weakly. Mia seemed to realize something. She spoke softly, “Perhaps we could become your friends and help you continue the story.” Hearing this, Lekha fell silent and then nodded slowly. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Over the next few hours, the kids worked out various storylines. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A month later, Mia and Prisha received the latest comic titled Galatia with Two Knights. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
