They had a mind of their own他们有自己的想法；D. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time我全程看得激动不已。结合上文Did the game stay exciting until the end?提到比赛刺激，可知，这里指全程都很激动。 2. Tom is the only one of the students who ________ a scholarship since last year. A. has won B. have won C. is winning D. wins 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查主谓一致和时态。句意：汤姆是这些学生中唯一一个自去年以来获得奖学金的人。先行词被the only one of修饰时，定语从句的谓语动词要与the only one保持一致，用单数形式，排除B，且时间状语since last year表示从过去持续到现在的动作，需用现在完成时，排除C和D，因此用has won符合语法和语境，故选A。 3. ______ which competitor could have launched such a highly competitive product in such a short time, the CEO of the company called an urgent meeting with the marketing and research teams. A. Left wondering B. Leaving wondering C. Leaving wondered D. Left wondered 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：公司CEO不知道哪个竞争对手能在这么短的时间内推出如此有竞争力的产品，于是召集营销和研发团队召开紧急会议。“leave…”作原因状语，leave(让……处于)用非谓语动词形式，与其逻辑主语the CEO之间是被动关系，用过去分词left表被动；wonder(想知道，好奇)作主语补足语，与其逻辑主语the CEO之间是主动关系，用现在分词表主动。 4. ________ makes the team’s story touching is that they turned failure into success with mutual help and perseverance. A. That B. Whether C. Which D. What 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】考查主语从句。句意：让这支队伍的故事如此感人的是，他们凭借互助与毅力，把失败转化成了成功。“________ makes the team’s story touching”为名词性从句作主语，此空引导主语从句，在从句中作主语，指代“让这支队伍的故事如此感人的事情”，用连接代词what引导。故选D项。 5. The main reason ________ he gave for his poor performance in the debate was that he failed to make himself ________. A. why; understand B. that; understand C. why; understood D. that; understood 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】考查定语从句和非谓语动词。句意：他为自己在辩论中表现不佳给出的主要原因是他没能让别人理解自己。第一空引导定语从句，先行词是the main reason，关系词在定语从句中作gave的宾语，应用关系代词that；第二空为“make+宾语+宾补”结构，himself与understand之间为被动关系，所以此处使用过去分词形式，表示“让自己被理解”，应用过去分词understood。故选D项。 6. It is believed that by 2032, the importance of bilingual education _______ widely in the educational system. A. will be recognized B. has been recognized C. will have been recognized D. will recognize 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：人们认为到2032年，双语教育的重要性将会在教育体系中得到广泛认可。根据时间标志by 2032可知，句子需用将来完成时；主语the importance和recognize是被动关系，使用被动语态，即will have been recognized。 7. Credits (学分) in Advanced Placement classes can greatly help students gain _______ to competitive universities. A. adoption B. admission C. adaptation D. adjustment 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：大学预修课程的学分可以极大地帮助学生获得进入有竞争力的大学的录取资格。A. adoption采用；B. admission录取；C. adaptation适应；D. adjustment调整。结合空前的gain和空后的to competitive universities可知，要填固定短语gain admission to，意为“获准进入”，admission符合本句语境。 8.

A. relieved B. cautious C. curious D. anxious 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：汤姆对他的工作面试结果感到焦虑，并不断查看他的电子邮件以获取任何消息。A. relieved感到宽慰的；B. cautious谨慎的；C. curious好奇的；D. anxious焦虑的。根据后半句constantly checked his email for any news可知，汤姆非常急切地想知道结果，因此感到焦虑。 9.

A. original B. complex C. convenient D. inexhaustible 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：该地区热带植物的多样性代表着一个看似取之不尽的原材料来源，其中只有少数已被利用。A. original原来的；B. complex复杂的；C. convenient方便的；D. inexhaustible取之不尽的。根据only a few have been employed可知，此处指原料资源很多、用不完，inexhaustible符合语境。 10. The books on the shelf over there are not as interesting as ______ in our library. A. them B. ones C. that D. those 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】考查代词辨析。句意：那边书架上的书没有我们图书馆里的那些书有趣。A. them它们，指代特定名词，可替代前文同一事物；B. ones一些，泛指同类事物，需搭配形容词使用；C. that那个，特指单数名词；D. those那些，特指复数名词，可替代前文同类事物。在本句中应用“those”指代“the books”，用于比较“那边书架上的书”和“我们图书馆里的书”，替代同类事物。故选D。 11. This exhibition is to ________ the traditional images and show that there are no limits to what you are capable of. A. hand down B. break down C. turn down D. put down 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：这个展览的目的是要打破传统形象，表明你的能力无可限量。A. hand down传递；B. break down 打破；C. turn down拒绝；D. put down放下。由题干中的“show that there are no limits to what you are capable of（表明你的能力无可限量）”可知，此处表示“打破”传统形象符合语境。 12. This moment is an opportunity to build a sharper UNESCO, a UNESCO with better service, _______ its ambitions and in line with the needs of the 21st century. A. in tune with B. in favor of C. in honor of D. at expense of 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：此刻是契机，打造一个更精干、服务更优质的联合国教科文组织，契合其目标，并且符合21世纪的需求。A. in tune with与……契合；B. in favor of支持；C. in honor of为纪念；D. at expense of以……为代价。根据in line with可知，此处表达“契合目标”，in tune with符合语境。 13.

A. being struck, were trapped B. being struck, trapped C. struck, having been trapped D. having been struck, were trapped 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：在遭受特大洪水袭击后，河南省的景点遭受了严重的破坏，许多游客被困在灾区。第一空，介词after后应接动名词形式作宾语，动词strike与逻辑主语Henan province之间为被动关系，故使用动名词的被动式being struck；第二空，逗号前后没有连词，空处作非谓语动词，动词trap与逻辑主语many tourists之间为被动关系，故使用过去分词trapped，与many tourists构成独立主格结构，作伴随状语。 14. There were no signs that the fire had been set on purpose. It _______ by a cigarette end, I guess. A. should have been caused B. need have been caused C. might have been caused D. must have been caused 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：没有任何迹象表明这场火灾是有人故意纵火的，我猜它可能是由一个烟头引发的。A. should have been caused本应该被引发（实际并未发生）；B. need have been caused本需要被引发（实际并未发生）；C. might have been caused可能已经被引发；D. must have been caused一定已经被引发。结合前文没有故意纵火的迹象，以及后文“I guess”体现出的说话人不确定的委婉推测语气，此处表达对过去发生事件的可能性较低的推测，might have done符合语境。 15.

A. brave the elements B. kill two birds with one stone C. have butterflies in our stomach D. throw the baby out with the bathwater 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】考查习语辨析。 句意：当我们谈论在学校禁止使用手机时，我们也应该看到其好的一面。总之，我们不应该因噎废食。 A. brave the elements不顾天气恶劣而外出，顶风冒雨；B. kill two birds with one stone一举两得，一箭双雕； C. have butterflies in our stomach心里紧张，七上八下；D. throw the baby out with the bathwater不分好坏全盘否定，因噎废食。根据When we talk about banning mobile phones in school, we should also look at the good side.可知，我们不应该因噎废食。故选D。 第二节：完形填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分，满分30分) 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从16-35各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 British Cycling had recently hired Dave Brailsford as its new director.

(到达伊丽莎白港机场后，JC 班车会接你。)”可知，学生们在伊丽莎白港机场被建议乘坐等待的 JC 班车。 【37题详解】 词句猜测题。根据Airport Collection部分第一段“Upon arrival at the Port Elizabeth Airport, you will be collected by JC Shuttles (班车). They drive white vehicles with red writing on them (到达伊丽莎白港机场后，你会由JC班车接走。他们驾驶的白色车辆上写有红色文字)”，从前文可知是JC班车来接学生，这里描述的是班车驾驶的车辆情况，所以“them”指代的就是JC班车，即“JC Shuttles”。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据Arrival in Grahamstown部分第一段“On arrival in Grahamstown, you’ll be dropped off at your accommodation. We will place all exchange or study abroad students in temporary accommodation. (到达格雷厄姆斯敦后，你会被送到你的住处。我们将安排所有交换生或留学生入住临时住所。)”以及“After settling in briefly, please get ready for the next important step of your registration.

(一旦注册，你将可以享用膳食，两天内，你将可以上网。)”可知，学生在进行行政注册后的一两天内就可以上网了。 B I enjoy the virtue I get from walking to the library to pick up my book. The space devoted to holds (预约图书) is almost as big as the rest of the shelves now. They don’t have as many books out on the main bookshelves anymore. It feels like an orphanage for books nobody wants to put a hold on. I am certain the books I order gossip about me while waiting. The nonfiction looks down on the popular novels, and the literary classics on everything else. They have plenty of time. When I place a hold, I’m number 257 in line for 22 copies. This convinces me that others want to read it, too. Since everything is done on the honor system now and there are no overdue fines, I have to try really hard to get the little princesses read and returned. The other day, I returned a book with nothing new to pick up, so I wandered the shelves like in the old days. Anyway, there was a novel I hadn’t read, by an author I admire! I checked it out and sneaked away as though I’d found a diamond ring in a dark alley. I started reading it that night. It was not that good. This author had won the Pulitzer Prize, but not for this sad little one. Still, I gave it every chance. Maybe it would prove itself on the last page. It did not. And it was almost overdue. But the library wasn’t urging me to do it. Apparently, word was out: Nobody else wanted to read it, either. And, when I went to return it, the library was closed. The sign directed me to the renewed location, 3 miles from home. Renovations were complete. It was gorgeous. There was art; there was light; there were cozy chairs, community rooms, and large windows. In a world where facts are sometimes manufactured to order and the truth can twist out of reach, there is comfort and harmony in a library that stays put. I returned my book, four weeks late. No one was in line to check it out. As I slipped the book into the return slot, I gave it a gentle pat. “Find a shelf and make yourself at home.” I whispered. The library is my home now, too. 41. This personification of books gossiping and looking down on each other is mainly used to ________. A. emphasizes the author’s boredom of waiting for the hold B. provides facts about strictly categorized book arrangement C. illustrates the competitive nature of the publishing industry D. adds humor and vitality to the gentle and reflective narration 42. It can be inferred from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 that the author ________. A. regretted not discovering the book earlier B. was afraid of being noticed with a rare book C. thought the book could be traded for jewelry D. felt secretly thrilled and lucky about the find 43. What is the main purpose of describing the renewed library in Paragraph 6? A. To show the real necessity of library renovation work. B. To make a comparison between the old and new library systems. C. To highlight the emotional value the library brings to the author. D. To stress the great convenience of the modern library service. 44. The author’s act of giving the book a “gentle pat” and whispering to it primarily demonstrates ________. A. an affection and care for books and the library B. a silent protest against the library’s new hold system C. a childish habit of communicating with lifeless objects D. a pitiful expression of not enjoying the masterpiece 45. What is the best title for the passage? A. My Overdue Book and Amusing Experiences B. The Hold System: A Modern Library Dilemma C. Beyond the Hold: Finding Home in the Library D. An Unpleasant Encounter with a Library Novel 【答案】41. D 42. D 43. C 44. A 45. C 【解析】 【导语】文章讲述了作者与图书馆的相关经历，从预约图书到偶遇心仪作家的作品、体验翻新后的图书馆，满含对书籍与图书馆的喜爱与眷恋。 【41题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“I am certain the books I order gossip about me while waiting.(我确信我预约借阅的书籍在等待时会八卦我。)”可推知，这段话为了表达作者在等待预约图书时的无聊和想象，作者把书籍拟人化为会闲聊、互相轻视的形象，是用充满想象力的趣味写法，给整体温和抒怀的叙事增添了幽默感和生动感。 【42题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“Anyway, there was a novel I hadn’t read, by an author I admire!(无论如何，有一本我没读过的小说，是我欣赏的作家写的！)”和划线句“I checked it out and sneaked away as though I’d found a diamond ring in a dark alley.(我把它借了出来，然后偷偷溜走了，就像在黑暗的小巷里发现了一枚钻戒一样。)”可知，划线句把意外找到心仪作者的小说比作在暗巷里捡到钻戒，还偷偷溜走，体现出作者意外收获这本书时暗自庆幸、又惊又喜的心情。 【43题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段“There was art; there was light; there were cozy chairs, community rooms, and large windows. In a world where facts are sometimes manufactured to order and the truth can twist out of reach, there is comfort and harmony in a library that stays put.(这里有艺术，有光明，有舒适的椅子，有社区活动室，还有大窗户。在一个事实有时被按需捏造、真相可能扭曲到无法触及的世界里，一座静静伫立的图书馆给人带来慰藉与和谐。)”可知，该段说明在真假难辨的世界里，图书馆能带来安宁与慰藉，重点突出图书馆带给作者的情绪价值和精神归属感。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段““Find a shelf and make yourself at home.” I whispered. The library is my home now, too.(“找一个架子，就像在家里一样。”我低声说道。现在图书馆也是我的家了。)”可知，作者在还书时轻轻拍一拍书、小声跟书说话，并把图书馆当成自己的家，体现了作者对书籍、图书馆的喜爱与温情。 【45题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中的“I enjoy the virtue I get from walking to the library to pick up my book. The space devoted to holds (预约图书) is almost as big as the rest of the shelves now.(我享受步行去图书馆取书所收获的美好，如今图书馆里预约图书的区域几乎和其他书架一样大。)”、第三段中的“Anyway, there was a novel I hadn’t read, by an author I admire! I checked it out and sneaked away as though I’d found a diamond ring in a dark alley.(无论如何，有一本我没读过的小说，是我欣赏的作家写的！我把它借了出来，然后偷偷溜走了，就像在黑暗的小巷里发现了一枚钻戒一样。)”、第六段中的“It was gorgeous. There was art; there was light; there were cozy chairs, community rooms, and large windows. In a world where facts are sometimes manufactured to order and the truth can twist out of reach, there is comfort and harmony in a library that stays put.(它美极了，这里有艺术，有光明，有舒适的椅子，有社区活动室，还有大窗户。在一个事实有时被按需捏造、真相可能扭曲到无法触及的世界里，一座静静伫立的图书馆给人带来慰藉与和谐。)”以及最后一段中的“The library is my home now, too.(现在图书馆也是我的家了。)”可知，文章围绕作者在图书馆的预约图书、偶遇书籍、图书馆翻新等经历展开，核心是跳出预约制度的局限，表达对图书馆的深厚情感和在图书馆找到心灵归宿的感悟，所以“Beyond the Hold: Finding Home in the Library(超越图书预约之外：在图书馆寻觅心灵归宿)”最能概括全文核心，适合作为最佳标题。 C A new study has found that breathing does more than just move air in and out of your lungs — it could even be used to identify who you are. Scientists at Israel’s Weizmann Institute of Science discovered that each person has a distinct breathing pattern, known as a nasal (鼻的) breathing “fingerprint” a unique pattern that reveals clues about a person’s physical and mental health. Notably, brain scientist Timna Soroka shared, “We were able to identify differences between less depressed and non-depressed individuals.” The researchers originally set out to better understand how our sense of smell works. In humans, the brain processes smell during inhalation (吸入), and this close connection between the brain and breathing led the team to wonder: could our breathing patterns reflect the way our brains are wired — and be unique to each of us? To explore this question, they developed a lightweight, wearable device that tracks nasal airflow continuously for 24 hours. The study, published in the journal Current Biology, tested 100 healthy young adults as they went about their regular routines — running, studying, resting, and more. The results showed breathing patterns can identify individuals with 96. 8 percent accuracy. “I thought it would be really hard to identify someone because everyone is doing different things,” said Soroka. “But it turns out their breathing patterns were remarkably distinct!” Beyond individual identification, the study also found clear links between breathing patterns and body mass index (BMI), sleep-wake cycles, and mental health traits such as anxiety and depression. For example, people who scored higher on anxiety tests tended to have shorter inhalation periods. Importantly, the researchers noted that they only know there is an association between breathing and mood, but they don’t know the cause-and-effect direction — whether feeling anxious changes breathing, or a certain breathing pattern causes anxiety. If the latter is true, changing how we breathe could potentially improve mood. However, the current device has drawbacks: it uses soft tubes under the nose that can be uncomfortable to wear and may slip during sleep, and it doesn’t track mouth breathing. The team is working on improving the device and further exploring the breathing-mood connection to unlock more practical applications. 46. Why is breathing “fingerprint” mentioned? A. To explain how the brain processes smell. B. To introduce a newly-invented tracking device. C. To show a link between breathing and depression. D. To stress the uniqueness of personal breathing pattern. 47. What does the underlined word in paragraph 2 mean? A. Connected. B. Powered. C. Controlled. D. Trained. 48. What can we infer about the relationship between breathing and mood? A. Changes in breath cure anxiety. B. Their exact relationship remains unclear. C. Anxiety always causes abnormal breathing. D. Breathing is responsible for negative mood. 49. What is a limitation of the current wearable device? A. It cannot track nasal airflow for 24 hours straight. B. It is too heavy to be worn during daily activities. C. It fails to monitor breathing through the mouth. D. It can only be used to test healthy young adults. 50. What is the main finding of this research? A. Our fingerprints tell a lot about our health. B. Breathing patterns link to identity and health. C. A groundbreaking device reveals mental health. D. Anxiety levels link to shorter inhalation periods. 【答案】46. D 47. A 48. B 49. C 50. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项新研究发现呼吸模式具有独特性，可用于身份识别，且与身心健康指标存在关联。 【46题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Scientists at Israel’s Weizmann Institute of Science discovered that each person has a distinct breathing pattern, known as a nasal (鼻的) breathing “fingerprint” a unique pattern that reveals clues about a person’s physical and mental health.(以色列魏茨曼科学研究所的科学家发现，每个人都有独特的呼吸模式，即鼻呼吸“指纹”，这是一种独特的模式，能揭示一个人的身心健康状况)”可推知，提到呼吸“指纹”是为了强调个人呼吸模式的独特性。故选D。 【47题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“In humans, the brain processes smell during inhalation (吸入), and this close connection between the brain and breathing led the team to wonder: could our breathing patterns reflect the way our brains are wired — and be unique to each of us?(人类的大脑在吸气过程中处理气味信息，大脑与呼吸之间的这种紧密联系让研究团队产生了一个疑问：我们的呼吸模式是否能反映出大脑的wired——并且每个人的模式都是独一无二的呢？)”可知，此处“wired”指的是大脑内部的神经连接方式，与“connected”意思相近。故选A。 【48题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Importantly, the researchers noted that they only know there is an association between breathing and mood, but they don’t know the cause-and-effect direction — whether feeling anxious changes breathing, or a certain breathing pattern causes anxiety.(重要的是，研究人员指出，他们只知道呼吸与情绪之间存在关联，但并不清楚因果关系的方向——是感到焦虑改变了呼吸，还是某种呼吸模式导致了焦虑)”可推知，呼吸和情绪之间的确切关系目前仍不明确。故选B。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“However, the current device has drawbacks: it uses soft tubes under the nose that can be uncomfortable to wear and may slip during sleep, and it doesn’t track mouth breathing.(然而，目前的这款设备存在一些缺陷：其在鼻子下方使用的软管佩戴起来可能会让人感到不适，而且在睡眠时还容易滑落，而且它也无法监测出是通过嘴巴呼吸的)”可知，当前可穿戴设备的一个局限性是无法通过监测口腔呼吸来进行监测。故选C。 【50题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“A new study has found that breathing does more than just move air in and out of your lungs— it could even be used to identify who you are. (一项新研究发现，呼吸的作用绝不仅仅是让空气在肺部进出——它甚至还能用来识别个人身份)”以及第四段“Beyond individual identification, the study also found clear links between breathing patterns and body mass index (BMI), sleep-wake cycles, and mental health traits such as anxiety and depression.(除了用于身份识别外，该研究还发现呼吸模式与身体质量指数、睡眠-觉醒周期以及焦虑、抑郁等心理健康特征之间存在明显关联)”可知，这项研究的主要发现是呼吸模式与身份识别和健康状况都存在关联。故选B。 第四部分：写作(共两节，满分35分) 第一节：阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 In the early 2010s, I was sent to live in rural Florida. One day, I received a bowl full of wild turkey eggs from a tractor driver. I had to act fast, buying an incubator (孵化器) at short notice and turning the eggs twice a day, as a turkey hen would. I would regularly “talk” to them, recreating the sounds a wild turkey would make on its nest, in order to get the eggs accustomed to my voice. A week or so into the experiment, I started to hear responses from them and the first tiny beak (喙) broke through. Soon, I had a new family of 16 wild turkeys. I built a large pen (围栏) to protect these lovely birds, complete with upright branches for them to rest on; at a week and a half old, they could already fly. During the day we explored the surrounding countryside. I quickly became familiar with each bird’s personality: Little Friend, who always wanted to be by my side; Sweet Pea, who enjoyed being held and softly touched; Rosita, who was fascinated by squirrels. While living with the turkeys, I discovered their communication was far subtler than I’d realised. For example, we encountered many snakes as we explored and I was soon able to discern the different sounds they made. I also identified various sounds of snakes. After six months, I had a good ear for different sounds, though occasionally I’d miscall and get a very different reaction from the one I’d expected. The project lasted two years. The turkeys grew fast, but my separation from them began when they started roosting in trees outside their pen, where I could not follow. I felt a sense of relief at having kept them alive long enough to become independent. In the end, I reached the conclusion that turkeys were clever birds. 51. What did the author do with those eggs? (no more than 10 words) ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 52. What was special about Rosita? (no more than 10 words) ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 53. What does the underlined word “discern” probably mean in Para. 3? (1 word) ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 54. What made the author feel relieved when he separated from the birds? (no more than 10 words) ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 55. Why should we protect wild animals? Please explain it in your own words. (no more than 20 words) ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】51. He made an effort to help them hatch. 52. It was fascinated by squirrels./ It was drawn to squirrels./ It showed much interest in squirrels. 53. Tell/ Distinguish. 54. Having kept them alive long enough to become independent. 55. Wild animals are a key part of the ecosystem. We can’t maintain the balance. 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述作者孵化并饲养了16只野生火鸡，观察它们的性格与交流方式，共同生活两年后放手让其独立，最终认为火鸡十分聪明。 【51题详解】 考查细节理解。由文章第一段中“I had to act fast, buying an incubator (孵化器) at short notice and turning the eggs twice a day, as a turkey hen would. I would regularly “talk” to them, recreating the sounds a wild turkey would make on its nest, in order to get the eggs accustomed to my voice.(我必须立刻行动，临时紧急购置了一台孵化器，并且像雌火鸡那样，每天把鸡蛋翻动两次。我还会经常对着蛋轻声说话，模仿野生火鸡在巢中发出的声音，好让这些蛋熟悉我的声音。)”可知，作者努力帮助这些蛋孵化。 【52题详解】 考查细节理解。由文章第二段中“I quickly became familiar with each bird’s personality: Little Friend, who always wanted to be by my side; Sweet Pea, who enjoyed being held and softly touched; Rosita, who was fascinated by squirrels.(我很快摸清了每只小火鸡的性情：小伙伴总爱寸步不离跟在我身旁；甜豆喜欢被人抱在怀里、轻轻抚摸；罗西塔则对松鼠格外着迷。)”可知，罗西塔的特别之处是它对松鼠很着迷。 【53题详解】 考查词句猜测。由文章第三段中“While living with the turkeys, I discovered their communication was far subtler than I’d realised. For example, we encountered many snakes as we explored and I was soon able to discern the different sounds they made. I also identified various sounds of snakes. (和这些小火鸡相处期间，我发现它们的交流方式远比我想象的更细腻微妙。比如，我们外出活动时常会遇到蛇，我很快就能discern出它们发出的不同叫声。我还能辨别出蛇发出的各类声响。)”可知，discern应与后文identified意思相近。 为“辨别、区分”。 【54题详解】 考查细节理解。由文章最后一段中“I felt a sense of relief at having kept them alive long enough to become independent.(让它们活到能够独立生活，我感到很欣慰。)”可知，让作者感到欣慰的是他把火鸡养到了能够独立生存。 【55题详解】 开放性题目，此题要求回答：我们为什么要保护野生动物？请用你自己的话解释一下。（不超过20字）答案不唯一，合理即可。例如：野生动物是生态系统的重要组成部分，没有它们我们无法维持生态平衡。 第二节：书面表达(满分25分) 56. 假定你是李津，加拿大某中学交换生。当地博物馆面向中学生招募中文志愿讲解员，向华人游客介绍展品。请写邮件自荐，要点： 1. 自我介绍； 2. 你的优势； 3. 可服务时间。 要求： 1. 词数不少于100（开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数）； 2. 可适当增加细节，行文连贯； 3. 文中不要出现真实校名和姓名。 Dear organizer, I’m Li Jin, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours sincerely, Li Jin 【答案】Dear organizer, I’m Li Jin, an exchange student from China studying at your local high school.

B I enjoy the virtue I get from walking to the library to pick up my book. The space devoted to holds (预约图书) is almost as big as the rest of the shelves now. They don’t have as many books out on the main bookshelves anymore. It feels like an orphanage for books nobody wants to put a hold on. I am certain the books I order gossip about me while waiting. The nonfiction looks down on the popular novels, and the literary classics on everything else. They have plenty of time. When I place a hold, I’m number 257 in line for 22 copies. This convinces me that others want to read it, too. Since everything is done on the honor system now and there are no overdue fines, I have to try really hard to get the little princesses read and returned. The other day, I returned a book with nothing new to pick up, so I wandered the shelves like in the old days. Anyway, there was a novel I hadn’t read, by an author I admire! I checked it out and sneaked away as though I’d found a diamond ring in a dark alley. I started reading it that night. It was not that good. This author had won the Pulitzer Prize, but not for this sad little one. Still, I gave it every chance. Maybe it would prove itself on the last page. It did not. And it was almost overdue. But the library wasn’t urging me to do it. Apparently, word was out: Nobody else wanted to read it, either. And, when I went to return it, the library was closed. The sign directed me to the renewed location, 3 miles from home. Renovations were complete. It was gorgeous. There was art; there was light; there were cozy chairs, community rooms, and large windows. In a world where facts are sometimes manufactured to order and the truth can twist out of reach, there is comfort and harmony in a library that stays put. I returned my book, four weeks late. No one was in line to check it out. As I slipped the book into the return slot, I gave it a gentle pat. “Find a shelf and make yourself at home.” I whispered. The library is my home now, too. 41. This personification of books gossiping and looking down on each other is mainly used to ________. A. emphasizes the author’s boredom of waiting for the hold B. provides facts about strictly categorized book arrangement C. illustrates the competitive nature of the publishing industry D. adds humor and vitality to the gentle and reflective narration 42. It can be inferred from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 that the author ________. A. regretted not discovering the book earlier B. was afraid of being noticed with a rare book C. thought the book could be traded for jewelry D. felt secretly thrilled and lucky about the find 43. What is the main purpose of describing the renewed library in Paragraph 6? A. To show the real necessity of library renovation work. B. To make a comparison between the old and new library systems. C. To highlight the emotional value the library brings to the author. D. To stress the great convenience of the modern library service. 44. The author’s act of giving the book a “gentle pat” and whispering to it primarily demonstrates ________. A. an affection and care for books and the library B. a silent protest against the library’s new hold system C. a childish habit of communicating with lifeless objects D. a pitiful expression of not enjoying the masterpiece 45. What is the best title for the passage? A. My Overdue Book and Amusing Experiences B. The Hold System: A Modern Library Dilemma C. Beyond the Hold: Finding Home in the Library D. An Unpleasant Encounter with a Library Novel C A new study has found that breathing does more than just move air in and out of your lungs — it could even be used to identify who you are. Scientists at Israel’s Weizmann Institute of Science discovered that each person has a distinct breathing pattern, known as a nasal (鼻的) breathing “fingerprint” a unique pattern that reveals clues about a person’s physical and mental health. Notably, brain scientist Timna Soroka shared, “We were able to identify differences between less depressed and non-depressed individuals.” The researchers originally set out to better understand how our sense of smell works. In humans, the brain processes smell during inhalation (吸入), and this close connection between the brain and breathing led the team to wonder: could our breathing patterns reflect the way our brains are wired — and be unique to each of us? To explore this question, they developed a lightweight, wearable device that tracks nasal airflow continuously for 24 hours. The study, published in the journal Current Biology, tested 100 healthy young adults as they went about their regular routines — running, studying, resting, and more. The results showed breathing patterns can identify individuals with 96. 8 percent accuracy. “I thought it would be really hard to identify someone because everyone is doing different things,” said Soroka. “But it turns out their breathing patterns were remarkably distinct!” Beyond individual identification, the study also found clear links between breathing patterns and body mass index (BMI), sleep-wake cycles, and mental health traits such as anxiety and depression. For example, people who scored higher on anxiety tests tended to have shorter inhalation periods. Importantly, the researchers noted that they only know there is an association between breathing and mood, but they don’t know the cause-and-effect direction — whether feeling anxious changes breathing, or a certain breathing pattern causes anxiety. If the latter is true, changing how we breathe could potentially improve mood. However, the current device has drawbacks: it uses soft tubes under the nose that can be uncomfortable to wear and may slip during sleep, and it doesn’t track mouth breathing. The team is working on improving the device and further exploring the breathing-mood connection to unlock more practical applications. 46. Why is breathing “fingerprint” mentioned? A. To explain how the brain processes smell. B. To introduce a newly-invented tracking device. C. To show a link between breathing and depression. D. To stress the uniqueness of personal breathing pattern. 47. What does the underlined word in paragraph 2 mean? A. Connected. B. Powered. C. Controlled. D. Trained. 48. What can we infer about the relationship between breathing and mood? A. Changes in breath cure anxiety. B. Their exact relationship remains unclear. C. Anxiety always causes abnormal breathing. D. Breathing is responsible for negative mood. 49. What is a limitation of the current wearable device? A. It cannot track nasal airflow for 24 hours straight. B. It is too heavy to be worn during daily activities. C. It fails to monitor breathing through the mouth. D. It can only be used to test healthy young adults. 50. What is the main finding of this research? A. Our fingerprints tell a lot about our health. B. Breathing patterns link to identity and health. C. A groundbreaking device reveals mental health. D. Anxiety levels link to shorter inhalation periods. 第四部分：写作(共两节，满分35分) 第一节：阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 In the early 2010s, I was sent to live in rural Florida. One day, I received a bowl full of wild turkey eggs from a tractor driver. I had to act fast, buying an incubator (孵化器) at short notice and turning the eggs twice a day, as a turkey hen would. I would regularly “talk” to them, recreating the sounds a wild turkey would make on its nest, in order to get the eggs accustomed to my voice. A week or so into the experiment, I started to hear responses from them and the first tiny beak (喙) broke through. Soon, I had a new family of 16 wild turkeys. I built a large pen (围栏) to protect these lovely birds, complete with upright branches for them to rest on; at a week and a half old, they could already fly. During the day we explored the surrounding countryside. I quickly became familiar with each bird’s personality: Little Friend, who always wanted to be by my side; Sweet Pea, who enjoyed being held and softly touched; Rosita, who was fascinated by squirrels. While living with the turkeys, I discovered their communication was far subtler than I’d realised. For example, we encountered many snakes as we explored and I was soon able to discern the different sounds they made. I also identified various sounds of snakes. After six months, I had a good ear for different sounds, though occasionally I’d miscall and get a very different reaction from the one I’d expected. The project lasted two years. The turkeys grew fast, but my separation from them began when they started roosting in trees outside their pen, where I could not follow. I felt a sense of relief at having kept them alive long enough to become independent. In the end, I reached the conclusion that turkeys were clever birds. 51. What did the author do with those eggs?
