Salamanca is Spain’s most famous college town, and certainly the oldest. Universidad de Salamanca was established all the way back in 1218, making it one of the first higher education institutions in the world! You can either enroll at the Universidad de Salamanca through API for an entire year or just one semester. Healthcare students have the rare opportunity to take courses related to their majors. The program also includes courses in advanced Spanish language and culture. It’s also one of the best study abroad programs for business students if health and medicine aren’t your thing. I studied in this university for one semester last year. It opened doors for me that I didn’t even know existed. It provided me with helpful skills that I could use in my everyday life. I learned so much about the world and about myself abroad. Now I come back to my own university. The experience helps me a lot in my study. I hope you can benefit from such an experience, too. 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，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。 A In celebration of World Reading Day 2026, City Central Library invites the public to submit creative activity proposals for its April events.

Golden, autumn leaves look beautiful at first, but they soon turn brown and mushy, making many people want to throw them away. However, gardening and wildlife experts say this is unnecessary and even harmful. To those so inclined (有倾向的), Jon Stokes, the director of the Tree Council, shares his experience. “It’s not necessary. In 35 years of having a garden, I’ve never once swept a leaf, because I’ve never had to. They disappear within a week because the earthworms get them. The garden is completely full of wildlife and my grass has never suffered because of it,” he says. “Don’t take them away and drop them at the landfill, because you’ll have just taken all that goodness out of your garden. If you can’t bear to leave them where they are, get the kids to kick them into a corner, stick them in a pile, or let the hedgehogs (刺猬) and earthworms (蚯蚓) use them.” While gardens covered with fallen leaves may look like a mess (脏乱) to humans, to wildlife they are a vital source of nutrients and shelter. For an earthworm, a fallen leaf is a snack to be rolled up and pulled down into the soil. For an elephant hawkmoth caterpillar, it is a roof under which to shelter until spring. For a hedgehog, it is a bed to roll around in and turn into a nest. Even for a tree, the leafy covering is a source from which to “drink” during dry periods. Experts offer easy ways to balance neatness and nature. Oliver Fry from Surrey Wildlife Trust suggests piling leaves in dry areas for hedgehogs or wet areas for frogs. Leave some leafcovered areas for insects, but keep others tidy. If you hate rotting leaves, cut them into small pieces — worms will carry them away faster, boosting the soil microorganisms. Adrian Thomas from the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds stresses keeping leaves in the garden instead of landfills. Every gardener’s small effort with leaves can help nature a lot. Leaves aren’t waste; they’re free, natural helpers for healthy plants. 24. What does “a mixed blessing” imply in paragraph 1? A. Gardening is fun but time-consuming. B. Autumn is pleasant but heart-breaking. C. Fallen leaves are beautiful but mess-making. D. Wildlife is appealing but garden-harming. 25. What can be inferred about Jon Stokes from his words? A. He values nature’s process. B. He finds leaves damage grass. C. He thinks worms harm grass. D. He enjoys sweeping leaves. 26. According to Oliver Fry, what should we do with fallen leaves? A. Throw them into landfills. B. Place them in certain areas. C. Sweep them away right away. D. Leave them where they are entirely. 27. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Feed the Fields B. Warm the Worms C. Guard the Gardens D. Leave the Leaves 【答案】24. C 25. A 26. B 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了秋季落叶对花园生态的重要作用，专家建议不要清除落叶而应合理利用，以帮助野生动物和土壤健康。 【24题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“Golden, autumn leaves look beautiful at first, but they soon turn brown and mushy, making many people want to throw them away. (金黄的秋叶起初看起来很美，但很快变得又棕又烂，让许多人想把它们扔掉。)”可知，a mixed blessing指的是落叶既美丽又会造成脏乱。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段““It’s not necessary. In 35 years of having a garden, I’ve never once swept a leaf, because I’ve never had to. They disappear within a week because the earthworms get them. The garden is completely full of wildlife and my grass has never suffered because of it,” he says. (他说：“没必要。在35年的花园里，我从来没有扫过一片叶子，因为我从来不需要这么做。它们会在一周内消失，因为蚯蚓会把它们吃掉。花园里到处都是野生动物，我的草从来没有因此而受损。”。)”可知，Jon Stokes重视自然过程，不干预落叶的自然分解。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Oliver Fry from Surrey Wildlife Trust suggests piling leaves in dry areas for hedgehogs or wet areas for frogs. (萨里野生动物信托基金会的奥利弗·弗莱建议将叶子堆放在干燥区域给刺猬，或堆放在潮湿区域给青蛙。)”可知，Oliver Fry建议将落叶放置在特定区域。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，尤其是最后一段“Leaves aren’t waste; they’re free, natural helpers for healthy plants. (落叶不是废物；它们是健康植物的免费天然帮手。)”及全文反复强调不要清除落叶可知，“留下落叶”适合作为文章标题。 C In recent years, consumers have increasingly sought “clean-label” foods — products made with natural ingredients. This trend has driven scientists to search for safe, natural preservatives (防腐剂，保护剂). They have turned their attention to a part of the cashew nut (腰果) that is often thrown away — the shell. From it, they extract Cashew Nut Shell Liquid (CNSL) and find that it contains special natural substances that can fight bacteria and prevent decay (变质). While this dark liquid has been studied for use in industries like paint and medicine, its potential for preserving food had not been fully explored until now. The scientists designed a careful experiment to test whether CNSL could help preserve beef, one of the most widely consumed meats globally. They applied the liquid to beef samples at different concentrations (含量、浓度). Some meat was left untreated as controls. The samples were then stored under different conditions — some at room temperature and others in refrigeration — for two weeks. During storage, a detailed microbiological evaluation was conducted to quantify total viable (活菌) counts and specific spoilage organisms (腐败菌), including Pseudomonas spp., Clostridium spp., and Proteus spp. Physicochemical analyses monitored changes in pH and water activity, while bacteria growth was assessed during storage at room temperature. The scientists discovered that the CNSL-treated meat showed significantly less bacterial growth than untreated meat. The effect was strongest at higher concentrations, with a 2.0% solution providing excellent protection while maintaining meat quality. Even at room temperature, it effectively delayed the meat’s souring process and reduced bacteria growth, helping the beef stay fresh-looking longer. The researchers note that further studies are needed to understand whether the liquid affects the taste and texture of the beef, and how it might be combined with modern packaging for even better results. Still, this study opens a window into nature’s own way of keeping food fresh — hidden inside a humble cashew shell. 28. Why are scientists studying cashew nut shells? A. To reduce waste in the food industry. B. To improve the taste of processed foods. C. To find natural alternatives to artificial preservatives. D. To develop new industrial materials for paint and medicine. 29. What was the primary focus of the microbiological evaluation? A. The variety of cashew species. B. The safety of refrigerated beef. C. The changes in pH and water activity. D. The effectiveness of CNSL against bacteria. 30. What does the experiment suggest about CNSL? A. It can improve meat quality over time. B. It performs best at room temperature. C. It speeds up the meat’s souring process. D. Its concentration and the storage life are closely related. 31. What is the author’s attitude towards the future of CNSL? A. Fully convinced. B. Cautiously optimistic. C. Hesitant and doubtful. D. Neutral and objective. 【答案】28. C 29. D 30. D 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了科学家从腰果壳提取CNSL，探究其作为天然食品防腐剂保鲜牛肉的相关实验与研究前景。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“In recent years, consumers have increasingly sought “clean-label” foods — products made with natural ingredients. This trend has driven scientists to search for safe, natural preservatives (防腐剂，保护剂). They have turned their attention to a part of the cashew nut (腰果) that is often thrown away — the shell. (近年来，消费者越来越青睐“配料表干净”食品，即使用天然原料制成的产品。这一趋势促使科学家寻找安全的天然防腐剂。他们将目光投向腰果中常被丢弃的部分——腰果壳。)”可知，科学家研究腰果壳是为寻找人工防腐剂的天然替代品。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“During storage, a detailed microbiological evaluation was conducted to quantify total viable (活菌) counts and specific spoilage organisms (腐败菌), including Pseudomonas spp., Clostridium spp., and Proteus spp. (储存期间，研究开展详尽微生物评估，统计活菌总数与特定腐败菌，包括假单胞菌、梭菌、变形杆菌。)”可知，微生物评估主要检测CNSL的抑菌效果。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The effect was strongest at higher concentrations, with a 2.0% solution providing excellent protection while maintaining meat quality. (浓度越高，效果越强，2.0%的溶液可提供极佳防护效果，同时保持肉质。)”可知，CNSL的浓度和保鲜时长密切相关。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。第一段介绍背景，引出腰果壳液CNSL这种潜在天然防腐剂；第二段说明科学家设计牛肉保鲜实验；第三段阐述实验结果，证实CNSL可以抑制细菌、延缓牛肉变质；第四段指出仍需进一步研究，但该研究为天然食品保鲜打开新思路。由此可知，作者认为CNSL前景可期，但还有待更多研究，态度是谨慎乐观的。 D As global temperatures continue to rise, the demand for air conditioning is growing rapidly. According to the International Energy Agency, traditional air conditioning uses about 20% of all electricity consumed by buildings worldwide, and most of this energy comes from fossil fuels. Clearly, our comfort is coming at too high a cost. Interestingly, the solution might come from an unexpected source: termite mounds (白蚁丘). These structures, built by tiny insects using mud and plant fibers, are considered engineering wonders in nature. Even in hot and dry environments, termite mounds can remain relatively cool inside, with air circulating (循环) through their internal structures without any external power source. But how do they achieve this? Scientists have long been puzzled by this question. To investigate, researchers David Andréen and Rupert Soar carried out a study. They proposed that slight changes in the airflow above the mound create uneven air movements inside it. These air movements, they believed, help drive air through the network and contribute to maintaining a suitable internal environment. The team built simple 3D-printed models based on the narrow, interconnected channel networks found inside termite mounds. They also built a second set of models with straight channels of the same length. When the researchers applied gentle air movements to one end, air flowed through the branching network with significantly less resistance than through the straight channels, just as they had predicted. This suggested that it was the complex structure, rather than the total channel length, that improved airflow. By making air movement more efficient, the structure helps termite mounds regulate their internal conditions and remain comfortable living spaces even in extreme environments. According to the researchers, this structure could be incorporated into building walls in the future. Unlike traditional air conditioning, which relies on fans and consumes large amounts of energy, this system would require only tiny amounts of power to control airflow. “This might be groundbreaking,” said Andréen. “For the first time, we may be able to design buildings that breathe like living organisms rather than function like machines. The potential is enormous if we continue to explore what nature has to offer.” 32. What phenomenon is described in paragraph 1? A. The inefficient use of electricity. B. The heavy dependence on fossil fuels. C. The growing impact of climate change. D. The unsustainability of traditional cooling. 33. Why are termite mounds described as “engineering wonders”? A. They can stay naturally cool. B. They are built by tiny insects. C. They have power sources inside. D. They are made of renewable materials. 34. Why did the team build straight-channel models? A. To measure the speed of airflow. B. To reduce the resistance of channels. C. To observe how air traveled through channels. D. To test whether the structure influenced airflow. 35. What does the underlined phrase “breathe like living organisms” in the last paragraph mean? A. Function effectively with sufficient energy. B. Provide fresh air through electronic controls. C. Circulate automatically by built-in structures. D. Adjust airflow by energy-efficient machines. 【答案】32. D 33. A 34. D 35. C 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍了研究人员对白蚁丘内部结构能够保持自然凉爽的研究，从而有望将其运用于建筑物的冷却系统。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“According to the International Energy Agency, traditional air conditioning uses about 20% of all electricity consumed by buildings worldwide, and most of this energy comes from fossil fuels. Clearly, our comfort is coming at too high a cost.(根据国际能源署的数据，传统空调消耗了全球建筑物约20%的电力，其中大部分来自化石燃料。显然，我们的舒适付出了太高的代价)”可知，第一段描述了传统空调制冷的不可持续性。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Even in hot and dry environments, termite mounds can remain relatively cool inside, with air circulating through their internal structures without any external power source.(即使在炎热干燥的环境中，白蚁丘内部也可以保持相对凉爽，空气在没有任何外部电源的情况下通过其内部结构循环)”可知，白蚁丘之所以被称为“工程奇迹”是因为其内部能够保持自然凉爽。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“The team built simple 3D-printed models based on the narrow, interconnected channel networks found inside termite mounds. They also built a second set of models with straight channels of the same length. When the researchers applied gentle air movements to one end, air flowed through the branching network with significantly less resistance than through the straight channels, just as they had predicted. This suggested that it was the complex structure, rather than the total channel length, that improved airflow.(该团队基于白蚁巢穴内部狭窄且相互连通的通道网络，制作了简易的3D打印模型。他们还制作了第二组模型，模型内是同等长度的笔直通道。当研究人员在一端施加微弱气流时，空气在分支网络中流动受到的阻力远小于在笔直通道中流动的阻力，这与他们此前的预测一致。这表明，改善空气流动的是复杂的结构，而非通道的总长度)”可知，制作直通道模型是为了对照测试通道结构本身是否会对气流流通产生影响。 【35题详解】 词句猜测题。根据最后一段“According to the researchers, this structure could be incorporated into building walls in the future. Unlike traditional air conditioning, which relies on fans and consumes large amounts of energy, this system would require only tiny amounts of power to control airflow. (据研究人员称，这种结构将来可能会被纳入建筑墙体。与依赖风扇并消耗大量能源的传统空调不同，该系统只需要少量的电力来控制气流)”以及“rather than function like machines(而不是像机器一样运作)”可知，“像生物体一样呼吸”指的是类似于白蚁丘内部结构的“内置结构自动循环”。 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。 We tend to respect and even idolize those who exhibit a lot of willpower. That colleague who manages to stay calm and focused in nearly every situation. The social media influencer who maintains a particularly decorated, camera-ready home. ____36____ Research suggests that these people are not only viewed as trustworthy but also morally superior. How can we mere mortals (凡人) compare? It seems that some are born with stronger self-control. ____37____ Traditionally, psychologists have defined self-control as the ability to wait for later, larger rewards. But it can also be thought of as a way to alter your thoughts, feelings and behaviors to reach a specific goal. When we have self-control, we can resist unhealthy impulses and persevere when we feel like quitting, experts say. ____38____ To improve willpower, it boils down to “just try harder,” said Kentaro Fujita, a professor of psychology at Ohio State University who studies self-regulation and decision making. ____39____ Preparation, mind-set and the ability to either avoid or reframe temptation (诱惑) can be far more effective than trying to “force that desire down,” Dr. Fujita said. There are multiple strategies for improving self-control. Research suggests that trying several is more effective than picking just one. First, create routines. People who are good at self-control tend to structure their lives and avoid having to make decisions in the moment. This could be by scheduling the same activity at the same time each day. Second, monitor your progress. Keep notes tracking what you have done each day toward your goal. ____40____ Also, edit your inner circle. People who support you and lift you up will give you a greater capacity for self-control. A. What is self-control and why does it matter? B. The friend who hits up the gym five times a week. C. Willpower shouldn’t be confused with self-control. D. Research indicates that willpower is the best strategy. E. And it takes both efforts and time to develop willpower. F. But self-control involves a set of skills that can be learned. G. Monitoring is the easiest and fastest way to improve self-control. 【答案】36. B 37. A 38. C 39. F 40. G 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章指出人们推崇有意志力的人，介绍了自控力的定义与作用，说明其虽有天生差异但可后天学习，还给出了建立习惯、监测进度等提升自控力的具体策略。 【36题详解】 根据上文“We tend to respect and even idolize those who exhibit a lot of willpower. That colleague who manages to stay calm and focused in nearly every situation. The social media influencer who maintains a particularly decorated, camera-ready home.(我们往往会尊重甚至崇拜那些展现出强大意志力的人。比如那位能够在各种情况下都保持冷静和专注的同事。还有那位拥有精心布置、随时准备拍照的家的社交媒体红人)”可知，前文列举了“冷静专注的同事”、“家居精致的网红”两类展现意志力的人，空格处需延续“举例”逻辑，补充同类人物。选项B“每周去五次健身房的朋友”符合“展现自控力/意志力”的举例场景，与前文结构一致，故选B。 【37题详解】 根据后文“Traditionally, psychologists have defined self-control as the ability to wait for later, larger rewards. But it can also be thought of as a way to alter your thoughts, feelings and behaviors to reach a specific goal. When we have self-control, we can resist unhealthy impulses and persevere when we feel like quitting, experts say.(传统上，心理学家将自我控制定义为能够等待更长远、更大的回报的能力。但也可以将其视为一种改变思想、情绪和行为的方式，以实现特定目标。专家表示，当我们拥有自我控制能力时，就能抵制不良冲动，并在想要放弃时坚持下去)”可知，空格后先介绍心理学家对自控力的传统定义，再补充其另一层含义，最后说明自控力的作用（抵抗冲动、坚持目标），核心围绕 “自控力是什么”、“为什么重要”展开。选项 A 直接点明这两个核心问题，能总领后文内容，故选A。 【38题详解】 根据后文“To improve willpower, it boils down to “just try harder,” said Kentaro Fujita, a professor of psychology at Ohio State University who studies self-regulation and decision making.(俄亥俄州立大学的心理学教授藤田太郎表示，要增强意志力，关键在于“再努力一把”。他研究的是自我调节和决策制定方面的问题)”和“Preparation, mind-set and the ability to either avoid or reframe temptation (诱惑) can be far more effective than trying to “force that desire down,” Dr. Fujita said. (藤田博士表示，做好准备、调整心态以及学会如何避开或重新解读诱惑，往往比试图“强行压制这种欲望”要有效得多。)”可知，空处表示的是意志力和自控之间的不同；结合选项可知，选项C.Willpower shouldn’t be confused with self-control.(不要将意志力与自控力混淆。)与后文描述呼应，切题。故选C。 【39题详解】 根据后文“There are multiple strategies for improving self-control. Research suggests that trying several is more effective than picking just one.(改善自我控制能力的方法有很多。研究表明，尝试多种方法比只采用一种方法更为有效)”可知，前文提到如何提高自我控制；结合选项可知，选项F.But self-control involves a set of skills that can be learned.（但自我控制涉及一系列可以习得的技能。)与下午呼应，切题。故选 F。 【40题详解】 根据上文“First, create routines. People who are good at self-control tend to structure their lives and avoid having to make decisions in the moment. This could be by scheduling the same activity at the same time each day. Second, monitor your progress. Keep notes tracking what you have done each day toward your goal.(首先，制定常规。善于自我控制的人往往会规划好自己的生活，避免在当下仓促做决定。这可以通过每天在同一时间进行相同的活动来实现。其次，监测自己的进展。记录每天朝着目标所完成的事情)”可知，前文提出“监测自己的进步”这一策略，空格处需进一步说明该策略的价值或作用，保持话题一致。选项G“监测是提升自控力最简单、最快的方式”直接呼应“monitor your progress”，强化该策略的有效性，故选 G。 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） 阅读短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可填入空白处的最佳选项。 Earlier this year, a graduate student visited me.

This new form of mental support has obvious advantages. AI is always available and can protect students’ privacy perfectly, making them more willing to share their troubles. However, it also has shortcomings. It lacks real emotional communication and cannot give warm, targeted guidance like professional teachers. In my opinion, AI is a useful tool but not a replacement for humans. Schools should combine AI counseling with offline psychological guidance to offer students better mental health support. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达要求考生就校园AI辅助心理咨询这一现象给校英文报投稿，阐述该方式的利弊并表达个人观点、给出相关建议。 【详解】1.词汇积累 保护：protect → safeguard 缺点：shortcoming → drawback/downside 缺乏：lack → be void of 替代：replacement → substitute 2.句式拓展 同义句转换 原句：Recently, many schools have begun to offer AI-assisted psychological counseling to help students deal with mental pressure. 拓展句：Recently, a number of schools have started to provide AI-powered psychological counseling, whose aim is to help students handle mental pressure. 【点睛】【高分句型1】AI is always available and can protect students’ privacy perfectly, making them more willing to share their troubles.

The tightly sealed (密封) envelope contained all his hard-earned part-time savings and his parents’ modest earnings, which meant everything for his upcoming college admission. With the rain pouring down, he got on a crowded bus, grasping the envelope tightly in his pocket. The bus shook constantly with noisy passengers chatting and rushing. Focused on avoiding the rain and counting the stops, Javin got off in a hurry when he reached his destination. It was not until he stood under the shelter and reached for the envelope that his heart sank deeply. The pocket was empty. Panic flooded his mind instantly. The money was gone. He tried to recall every detail, but could only remember pushing through the crew d during the rush to get off. There was no personal information of him in the envelope. Even if someone picked it up and hoped to return it, they couldn’t contact him. Desperate and anxious, Javin ignored the heavy rain and ran after the departing bus. Cold rain streamed down his face, clouding his sight. Fortunately, the bus stopped at a red light two blocks ahead. He rushed ahead and knocked hard on the bus door, begging the driver to open it. Hearing his voice, the warm-hearted driver let him on and listened patiently to his urgent explanation. After hearing Javin’s description, the driver pulled out a brown envelope from the console (中控台). “A girl named Elowen picked this up on the seat and left it here before she got off,” the driver said gently. Relief washed over Javin, and he thanked the driver repeatedly, feeling grateful for the stranger’s kindness. He reached out to take his envelope eagerly. However, the moment Javin’s fingers touched the envelope, his smile froze. The sealed edge of the envelope had been roughly torn open, not in the neat way he had sealed it. 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。 Javin stared at the opened envelope in shock. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Following the driver’s advice, Javin checked the envelope and found a message in it. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Javin stared at the opened envelope in shock. His heart sank again when he saw the envelope was torn roughly. He was filled with suspicion and doubt. He thought the girl must have opened it and taken the money before putting it back. He was about to question the driver when he saw a girl coming towards them. It was the girl who picked up the envelope on the bus. The driver explained that the girl was very anxious to find the owner of the envelope and asked him for advice. Following the driver’s advice, Javin checked the envelope and found a message in it. It read, “I found an envelope with a college registration fee inside on the bus. I thought the owner must be very worried, so I didn’t touch it. I hope the owner can check it carefully after getting it. Sincerely, Elowen.” Javin read the words carefully, and all his suspicion disappeared. He felt a sense of shame, which was so overwhelming, and his face turned red. He was so moved by the girl’s sincere heart that he thanked the girl repeatedly. He finally realized that kindness has no boundaries. 【解析】 【导语】本文以事件发展为线索展开，讲述高中生 Javin带着积攒的大学报名费乘车，下车时不慎丢失装钱的信封，在公交车司机帮助下找回信封，却发现信封被拆开，由此产生误会，最终了解真相、感受到陌生人善意的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写Javin看到信封被撕后心生怀疑，司机告知他女孩留了信封后已离开，建议他核对信封内的财物。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写Javin阅读纸条后消除怀疑、心生愧疚与感动，以及他向女孩致谢并有所感悟的内容。 2.续写线索：发现信封被撕——心生怀疑——司机帮忙解释——查看纸条——消除误解——表达感谢——感悟善意 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①询问：question/inquire ②寻找：find/track down 情绪类 ①感到着急的：be worried/be seized with anxiety ②被感动的：be moved/be touched/be affected 【点睛】[高分句型1] It was the girl who picked up the envelope on the bus.（使用了“It is/was +被强调部分+其他成分”强调句结构） [高分句型2] He felt a sense of shame, which was so overwhelming, and his face turned red.（使用了关系代词which引导的定语从句，先行词为a sense of shame） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $这是2026年邵阳市高二拔尖创新班第二次英语考试听力部分。听力部分分为第一第2两个小节，回答听力部分时，请先将答案标注在试卷上。听力部分结束前，你将有两分钟的时间将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?

B For gardeners who love neatness, autumn is a bit of a mixed blessing. Golden, autumn leaves look beautiful at first, but they soon turn brown and mushy, making many people want to throw them away. However, gardening and wildlife experts say this is unnecessary and even harmful. To those so inclined (有倾向的), Jon Stokes, the director of the Tree Council, shares his experience. “It’s not necessary. In 35 years of having a garden, I’ve never once swept a leaf, because I’ve never had to. They disappear within a week because the earthworms get them. The garden is completely full of wildlife and my grass has never suffered because of it,” he says. “Don’t take them away and drop them at the landfill, because you’ll have just taken all that goodness out of your garden. If you can’t bear to leave them where they are, get the kids to kick them into a corner, stick them in a pile, or let the hedgehogs (刺猬) and earthworms (蚯蚓) use them.” While gardens covered with fallen leaves may look like a mess (脏乱) to humans, to wildlife they are a vital source of nutrients and shelter. For an earthworm, a fallen leaf is a snack to be rolled up and pulled down into the soil. For an elephant hawkmoth caterpillar, it is a roof under which to shelter until spring. For a hedgehog, it is a bed to roll around in and turn into a nest. Even for a tree, the leafy covering is a source from which to “drink” during dry periods. Experts offer easy ways to balance neatness and nature. Oliver Fry from Surrey Wildlife Trust suggests piling leaves in dry areas for hedgehogs or wet areas for frogs. Leave some leafcovered areas for insects, but keep others tidy. If you hate rotting leaves, cut them into small pieces — worms will carry them away faster, boosting the soil microorganisms. Adrian Thomas from the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds stresses keeping leaves in the garden instead of landfills. Every gardener’s small effort with leaves can help nature a lot. Leaves aren’t waste; they’re free, natural helpers for healthy plants. 24. What does “a mixed blessing” imply in paragraph 1? A. Gardening is fun but time-consuming. B. Autumn is pleasant but heart-breaking. C. Fallen leaves are beautiful but mess-making. D. Wildlife is appealing but garden-harming. 25. What can be inferred about Jon Stokes from his words? A. He values nature’s process. B. He finds leaves damage grass. C. He thinks worms harm grass. D. He enjoys sweeping leaves. 26. According to Oliver Fry, what should we do with fallen leaves? A. Throw them into landfills. B. Place them in certain areas. C. Sweep them away right away. D. Leave them where they are entirely. 27. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Feed the Fields B. Warm the Worms C. Guard the Gardens D. Leave the Leaves C In recent years, consumers have increasingly sought “clean-label” foods — products made with natural ingredients. This trend has driven scientists to search for safe, natural preservatives (防腐剂，保护剂). They have turned their attention to a part of the cashew nut (腰果) that is often thrown away — the shell. From it, they extract Cashew Nut Shell Liquid (CNSL) and find that it contains special natural substances that can fight bacteria and prevent decay (变质). While this dark liquid has been studied for use in industries like paint and medicine, its potential for preserving food had not been fully explored until now. The scientists designed a careful experiment to test whether CNSL could help preserve beef, one of the most widely consumed meats globally. They applied the liquid to beef samples at different concentrations (含量、浓度). Some meat was left untreated as controls. The samples were then stored under different conditions — some at room temperature and others in refrigeration — for two weeks. During storage, a detailed microbiological evaluation was conducted to quantify total viable (活菌) counts and specific spoilage organisms (腐败菌), including Pseudomonas spp., Clostridium spp., and Proteus spp. Physicochemical analyses monitored changes in pH and water activity, while bacteria growth was assessed during storage at room temperature. The scientists discovered that the CNSL-treated meat showed significantly less bacterial growth than untreated meat. The effect was strongest at higher concentrations, with a 2.0% solution providing excellent protection while maintaining meat quality. Even at room temperature, it effectively delayed the meat’s souring process and reduced bacteria growth, helping the beef stay fresh-looking longer. The researchers note that further studies are needed to understand whether the liquid affects the taste and texture of the beef, and how it might be combined with modern packaging for even better results. Still, this study opens a window into nature’s own way of keeping food fresh — hidden inside a humble cashew shell. 28. Why are scientists studying cashew nut shells? A. To reduce waste in the food industry. B. To improve the taste of processed foods. C. To find natural alternatives to artificial preservatives. D. To develop new industrial materials for paint and medicine. 29. What was the primary focus of the microbiological evaluation? A. The variety of cashew species. B. The safety of refrigerated beef. C. The changes in pH and water activity. D. The effectiveness of CNSL against bacteria. 30. What does the experiment suggest about CNSL? A. It can improve meat quality over time. B. It performs best at room temperature. C. It speeds up the meat’s souring process. D. Its concentration and the storage life are closely related. 31. What is the author’s attitude towards the future of CNSL? A. Fully convinced. B. Cautiously optimistic. C. Hesitant and doubtful. D. Neutral and objective. D As global temperatures continue to rise, the demand for air conditioning is growing rapidly. According to the International Energy Agency, traditional air conditioning uses about 20% of all electricity consumed by buildings worldwide, and most of this energy comes from fossil fuels. Clearly, our comfort is coming at too high a cost. Interestingly, the solution might come from an unexpected source: termite mounds (白蚁丘). These structures, built by tiny insects using mud and plant fibers, are considered engineering wonders in nature. Even in hot and dry environments, termite mounds can remain relatively cool inside, with air circulating (循环) through their internal structures without any external power source. But how do they achieve this? Scientists have long been puzzled by this question. To investigate, researchers David Andréen and Rupert Soar carried out a study. They proposed that slight changes in the airflow above the mound create uneven air movements inside it. These air movements, they believed, help drive air through the network and contribute to maintaining a suitable internal environment. The team built simple 3D-printed models based on the narrow, interconnected channel networks found inside termite mounds. They also built a second set of models with straight channels of the same length. When the researchers applied gentle air movements to one end, air flowed through the branching network with significantly less resistance than through the straight channels, just as they had predicted. This suggested that it was the complex structure, rather than the total channel length, that improved airflow. By making air movement more efficient, the structure helps termite mounds regulate their internal conditions and remain comfortable living spaces even in extreme environments. According to the researchers, this structure could be incorporated into building walls in the future. Unlike traditional air conditioning, which relies on fans and consumes large amounts of energy, this system would require only tiny amounts of power to control airflow. “This might be groundbreaking,” said Andréen. “For the first time, we may be able to design buildings that breathe like living organisms rather than function like machines. The potential is enormous if we continue to explore what nature has to offer.” 32. What phenomenon is described in paragraph 1? A. The inefficient use of electricity. B. The heavy dependence on fossil fuels. C. The growing impact of climate change. D. The unsustainability of traditional cooling. 33. Why are termite mounds described as “engineering wonders”? A. They can stay naturally cool. B. They are built by tiny insects. C. They have power sources inside. D. They are made of renewable materials. 34. Why did the team build straight-channel models? A. To measure the speed of airflow. B. To reduce the resistance of channels. C. To observe how air traveled through channels. D. To test whether the structure influenced airflow. 35. What does the underlined phrase “breathe like living organisms” in the last paragraph mean? A. Function effectively with sufficient energy. B. Provide fresh air through electronic controls. C. Circulate automatically by built-in structures. D. Adjust airflow by energy-efficient machines. 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。 We tend to respect and even idolize those who exhibit a lot of willpower. That colleague who manages to stay calm and focused in nearly every situation. The social media influencer who maintains a particularly decorated, camera-ready home. ____36____ Research suggests that these people are not only viewed as trustworthy but also morally superior. How can we mere mortals (凡人) compare? It seems that some are born with stronger self-control. ____37____ Traditionally, psychologists have defined self-control as the ability to wait for later, larger rewards. But it can also be thought of as a way to alter your thoughts, feelings and behaviors to reach a specific goal. When we have self-control, we can resist unhealthy impulses and persevere when we feel like quitting, experts say. ____38____ To improve willpower, it boils down to “just try harder,” said Kentaro Fujita, a professor of psychology at Ohio State University who studies self-regulation and decision making. ____39____ Preparation, mind-set and the ability to either avoid or reframe temptation (诱惑) can be far more effective than trying to “force that desire down,” Dr. Fujita said. There are multiple strategies for improving self-control. Research suggests that trying several is more effective than picking just one. First, create routines. People who are good at self-control tend to structure their lives and avoid having to make decisions in the moment. This could be by scheduling the same activity at the same time each day. Second, monitor your progress. Keep notes tracking what you have done each day toward your goal. ____40____ Also, edit your inner circle. People who support you and lift you up will give you a greater capacity for self-control. A. What is self-control and why does it matter? B. The friend who hits up the gym five times a week. C. Willpower shouldn’t be confused with self-control. D. Research indicates that willpower is the best strategy. E. And it takes both efforts and time to develop willpower. F. But self-control involves a set of skills that can be learned. G. Monitoring is the easiest and fastest way to improve self-control. 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） 阅读短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可填入空白处的最佳选项。 Earlier this year, a graduate student visited me.

The tightly sealed (密封) envelope contained all his hard-earned part-time savings and his parents’ modest earnings, which meant everything for his upcoming college admission. With the rain pouring down, he got on a crowded bus, grasping the envelope tightly in his pocket. The bus shook constantly with noisy passengers chatting and rushing. Focused on avoiding the rain and counting the stops, Javin got off in a hurry when he reached his destination. It was not until he stood under the shelter and reached for the envelope that his heart sank deeply. The pocket was empty. Panic flooded his mind instantly. The money was gone. He tried to recall every detail, but could only remember pushing through the crew d during the rush to get off. There was no personal information of him in the envelope. Even if someone picked it up and hoped to return it, they couldn’t contact him. Desperate and anxious, Javin ignored the heavy rain and ran after the departing bus. Cold rain streamed down his face, clouding his sight. Fortunately, the bus stopped at a red light two blocks ahead. He rushed ahead and knocked hard on the bus door, begging the driver to open it. Hearing his voice, the warm-hearted driver let him on and listened patiently to his urgent explanation. After hearing Javin’s description, the driver pulled out a brown envelope from the console (中控台). “A girl named Elowen picked this up on the seat and left it here before she got off,” the driver said gently. Relief washed over Javin, and he thanked the driver repeatedly, feeling grateful for the stranger’s kindness. He reached out to take his envelope eagerly. However, the moment Javin’s fingers touched the envelope, his smile froze. The sealed edge of the envelope had been roughly torn open, not in the neat way he had sealed it. 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。 Javin stared at the opened envelope in shock. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Following the driver’s advice, Javin checked the envelope and found a message in it. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
