W: Actually, I was assigned to design this house by my neighbors for their children. And I loved the challenge of integrating the house in among the branches. M: What started you off on this type of design? W: I’ve always had a passion for small buildings since I was a little girl. Then I found a book about historical telephone boxes, which absorbed me — some looked like traditional cottages; others like Greek temples. But it didn’t last long; they had to be standardized and made more practical. M: You went to architecture school. Did you know you would work on small buildings? W: Yes, my final year project was on small and temporary buildings around major building sites. They all meet safety standards, and why shouldn’t they have some style? I designed them to look better, and also to be put up and taken apart more quickly. M: Where did you get your creativity from? W: I think I’m more practical than creative. I was visiting some clients abroad a few years ago, and saw some brilliant stands there. They were little metal folding houses and completely waterproof. I did drawings of them and made one when I got home as my parents had a really heavy market stand. 听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 18. What is special about Slugbot? A. It runs on batteries. B. It consumes no energy. C. It hunts insects for energy. 19. Why did Chris Melhuish come up with his idea? A. To build robots more like animals. B. To invent robots for tough environments. C. To design robots to guard against danger. 20. What problem did Ecobot II have? A. It failed to digest flies. B. It couldn’t run for long. C. It couldn’t remove its own waste. 【答案】18. C 19. B 20. C 【解析】 【原文】W: Hello, everybody. Today, I’d like to talk about robots. Robots are supposed to run on batteries, right? But scientists in England have built a series of small robots that get their energy from dead flies or sugar. One robot, called Slugbot, was even designed to hunt garden insects for dinner! Scientists at the Bristol Robotics Laboratory want to invent robots that can operate for long periods of time in dark, dirty, or dangerous places. Many of those spots, like the seafloor or Antarctica, don’t have electrical equipment to connect power supply. So inventor Chris Melhuish came up with a better idea-build robots that get their energy just like animals do. The robots digest their food in the stomach-like equipment full of bacteria! As the bacteria eat up the food, they produce something that is very important to form electricity. One robot, called Ecobot II, could run for 12 days on a diet of eight flies! But it seems that after an eight-fly dinner, Ecobot II couldn’t get rid of the leftover “waste”. Melhuish says his team is now working on a new and improved robot. Maybe restrooms in the future will have signs for boys, girls and robots. 第二部分 阅读理解（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，选出最佳答案。 A California Museum: Admission and Hours The California Museum welcomes visitors from Tuesday to Sunday to explore the rich history and diverse culture of the state.

Each day I left early in the morning while my family slept, and returned with just enough time to say good night to my little boys. We loved our home but could not afford it. To break free from this tiring trap, I made a risky plan: I gave up my job and turned to the wilderness of Alaska. This madness was inspired by my discovery of Walden by Henry David Thoreau, who had returned to nature in search of a simpler life in the 1840s. His philosophy was the inspiration I needed. In Alaska, despite facing extreme cold and hunger, I lived in a small wooden hut and finally achieved my dream. A year later, though unemployed, I felt internally rich. Recently, I made a journey to Walden Pond in Massachusetts, the very lake that inspired Thoreau. I was worried that modern changes would damage my romantic vision of the place. My heart indeed dropped when the GPS system directed me to an orderly, tarmac (沥青铺的) car park, and a sign saying no woodfires. The presence of joggers and tourists threatened to ruin my sense of personal discovery. For a moment, I even regretted coming. But then a fish jumped, creating widening circles across the water. I reached up, pulled some green needles from a pine tree, and pressed them between my fingers, catching their clean smell. I realized that while the surface world had sped up, the necessary, slow forces of nature remained unchanged. There was still space to feel what had inspired Thoreau. My trip was worth the risk. Most of us will never have enough money, but nature offers limitless wealth to fill our spiritual banks. 24. What made the author decide to leave his job? A. Spiritual crisis. B. Wild adventure. C. Financial stress. D. Family tension. 25. What does the underlined word “internally” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Fully. B. Mentally. C. Colorfully. D. Terribly. 26. Why did the author regret coming to Walden Pond at first? A. He disliked the local rules. B. Woodfires were not allowed. C. He was tired of meeting tourists. D. The place lost its natural wilderness. 27. What does the author try to convey in the text? A. Hard work leads to success. B. Dreams demand brave pursuits. C. Nature offers spiritual wealth. D. True joy comes from a simple life. 【答案】24. A 25. B 26. D 27. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了作者受梭罗影响辞职赴阿拉斯加，后探访瓦尔登湖感悟自然精神财富的经历。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Six years ago, I was trapped in a heart-breaking office job in Edinburgh. Each day I left early in the morning while my family slept, and returned with just enough time to say good night to my little boys. We loved our home but could not afford it. To break free from this tiring trap, I made a risky plan: I gave up my job and turned to the wilderness of Alaska. This madness was inspired by my discovery of Walden by Henry David Thoreau, who had returned to nature in search of a simpler life in the 1840s. His philosophy was the inspiration I needed. In Alaska, despite facing extreme cold and hunger, I lived in a small wooden hut and finally achieved my dream. A year later, though unemployed, I felt internally rich.(六年前，我被困在爱丁堡一份令人心碎的办公室工作中。每天清晨，当家人还在熟睡时，我便早早离开，回来时只留有足够的时间和小儿子们道晚安。我们热爱自己的家，却负担不起它。为了摆脱这个疲惫的束缚，我做出了一项冒险的决定：辞去工作，前往阿拉斯加的荒野。这个疯狂的想法源于我读到亨利·戴维·梭罗的《瓦尔登湖》。19世纪40年代，他重返自然，追寻一种更简单的生活。他的哲学思想正是我内心所需的精神启迪。在阿拉斯加，尽管面临极端的寒冷与饥饿，我住在一间简陋的小木屋里，终于实现了梦想。一年后，虽然失业了，但我内心却感到无比富足)”和最后一段“My trip was worth the risk. Most of us will never have enough money, but nature offers limitless wealth to fill our spiritual banks.(我的旅程是值得冒这个险的。我们大多数人永远都不会有足够的钱，但大自然却提供了无限的财富，足以填满我们的精神账户)”可知，精神危机促使作者决定辞职。 【25题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中“A year later, though unemployed, I felt internally rich.(一年后，尽管失业，我却感到internally丰盈)”可知，此处与物质上的“失业”形成对比，指精神上的富足，“internally”意为“精神上地”。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“I was worried that modern changes would damage my romantic vision of the place.(我担心现代变迁会破坏我对这处地方的浪漫想象)”及“My heart indeed dropped when the GPS system directed me to an orderly, tarmac (沥青铺的) car park, and a sign saying no woodfires.(当GPS导航把我引到一个规整的沥青铺就的停车场，还立着一块“禁止篝火”的牌子时，我的心一下子凉了半截)”可知，作者起初后悔是因为瓦尔登湖失去了原本的自然野趣。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Most of us will never have enough money, but nature offers limitless wealth to fill our spiritual banks.(我们大多数人永远不会有足够的钱，但自然提供了无限的财富来充实我们的精神账户)”可知，作者试图传达自然能提供精神财富的哲理。 C For lots of kids, toddlerhood (幼儿期) is an important time for friendship. Studies show the earlier kids learn to form positive relationships, the better they are at relating to others as teenagers and adults. Playing together also helps these kids practice social behaviors, such as kindness, sharing, and cooperation. Even so, how quickly your child develops into a social creature may also depend on his temperament (性格). Some toddlers are very social, but others are shy. In addition, the way that toddlers demonstrate that they like other children is obviously different from what adults think of as expressions of friendship. Research at Ohio State University in Columbus found that a toddler’s way of saying “I like you” during play is likely to come in the form of copying a friend’s behavior. This seemingly unusual way of demonstrating fondness can result in unpleasant behavior. No matter how much they like a playmate, they may still grab his toys, refuse to share, and get bossy. But experts say that this is a normal and necessary part of friendship for kids this age. Through play experiences, toddlers learn social rules. That’s why it’s so important to take an active role in your toddler’s social encounters by setting limits and offering frequent reminders of what they are. When you establish these guidelines, explain the reasons behind them. Begin by helping your child learn sympathy (“Ben is crying. What’s making him so sad?”), and then suggest how he could resolve the problem (“Maybe he would feel better if you let him play the ball.”). When your child shares or shows empathy (同理心) toward a friend, praise him (“Ben stopped crying! You made him feel better.”). Another way to encourage healthy social interaction is by encouraging kids to use words — not fists — to express how they feel. It’s also important to be mindful of how your child’s personality affects playtime. Kids are easy to get angry when they’re sleepy or hungry, so schedule playtime when they’re refreshed. 28. What does it indicate when toddlers copy their playmates’ behavior? A. They want to lead the play. B. They are too shy to express themselves. C. They are fond of their playmates. D. They are competing against each other. 29. What does the author suggest parents do for their kids? A. Design games for them. B. Find them suitable playmates. C. Play together with them. D. Help them understand social rules. 30. What is the function of the quoted (引用的) statements in paragraph 4? A. Giving examples. B. Explaining concepts. C. Providing evidence. D. Making comparisons. 31. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. How Children Adapt to Changes B. How to Be a Role Model for Children C. How Toddlers Learn Social Skills D. How to Communicate with Your Kid 【答案】28. C 29. D 30. A 31. C 【解析】 【导语】主要介绍幼儿期是建立友谊与社交能力的关键时期，讲解幼儿独特的交友方式及家长引导孩子学习社交技巧的方法。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Research at Ohio State University in Columbus found that a toddler’s way of saying “I like you” during play is likely to come in the form of copying a friend’s behavior.(哥伦布市俄亥俄州立大学的研究发现，幼儿在玩耍时表达“我喜欢你”的方式，往往是模仿玩伴的行为。)”可知，幼儿模仿玩伴行为，代表他们喜欢自己的玩伴。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Through play experiences, toddlers learn social rules. That’s why it’s so important to take an active role in your toddler’s social encounters by setting limits and offering frequent reminders of what they are.(幼儿在玩耍中学习社交规则，因此家长要在孩子社交活动中主动介入，设立界限并时常提醒孩子社交规则。)”可知，作者建议家长帮助孩子理解并学会遵守社交规则。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Begin by helping your child learn sympathy (“Ben is crying. What’s making him so sad?”), and then suggest how he could resolve the problem (“Maybe he would feel better if you let him play the ball.”).(先帮孩子学会同情（“本在哭呢，是什么事让他这么难过呀？”），再引导孩子想出解决办法（“要是你把球借他玩，说不定他就好受多了。”）。)”可知，本段引用的语句是为家长提供具体沟通示例，用来举例说明如何引导孩子。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中的“Playing together also helps these kids practice social behaviors, such as kindness, sharing, and cooperation.(一起玩耍有助于幼儿练习友善、分享、合作等社交行为。)”以及后文介绍幼儿交友特点、家长引导方法可知，文章围绕幼儿如何学习社交技巧展开论述，适合作为标题的是“幼儿如何学习社交技能”。 D Expert birdwatchers have changes in their brain structure (结构) compared with beginners, which probably help them better identify birds and slow age-related cognitive (认知的) loss. When learning or practising a skill, the brain reorganises itself. This ability is called neuroplasticity. For example, professional musicians show structural changes in brain regions related to hearing. To understand whether birding also shapes the brain, Erik Wing at York University in Canada and his colleagues analysed brain structure and function in 48 hobbyist birders, half experts and half beginners. They were aged 22 to 79 and both groups were similar in terms of sex, age and education. During brain scans (扫描), the birders were shown a bird image for less than 4 seconds. About 10 seconds later, they tried identifying the same bird in one of four images, each showing a different species. “We intentionally picked highly confusable bird species,” said Wing. The task was repeated 72 times, using images of 18 bird species, six of which were local and 12 of which weren’t. As expected, expert birders performed better. On average, they correctly identified 83% of local birds and 61% of non-local ones. In contrast, beginners got only 44% correct for both. While identifying non-local birds, three brain regions became more active in expert birders, but not in beginners. These regions are related to object identification, image processing, attention and working memory. Moreover, these brain regions appeared more structurally complex (复杂的) and organised in expert birdwatchers, suggesting building expertise in birding reshapes the brain. As we age, brain structure normally becomes less complex. But this change was less noticeable in expert birders, suggesting birding may help build cognitive reserve, the brain’s ability to protect itself against ageing and adapt to damage. “Maintaining brain activity with specialised abilities may reduce the effects of ageing,” said Robert Zatorre at McGill University in Canada. However, to really know whether the brain changes are due to birding, researchers would have to scan the brain over months to years. 32. Why does the author mention professional musicians? A. To talk about different life skills. B. To illustrate the idea of neuroplasticity. C. To show musicians’ great talent. D. To compare music with birdwatching. 33. What made it hard for the birders to identify the birds in the task? A. Much repetition of the task itself. B. Inclusion of more non-local birds. C. Close similarity among bird species. D. Improper timing for image viewing. 34. What did the brain scans find about expert birders? A. No brain changes related to ageing. B. Quicker brain responses to local birds. C. The same complexity of the brain as beginners’. D. Greater activity and finer organization of the brain. 35. What is the author’s attitude towards the findings? A. Fair. B. Supportive. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear. 【答案】32. B 33. C 34. D 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了一项关于观鸟对大脑结构影响的研究，探讨了专家级观鸟者与初学者在大脑活动、结构复杂性以及认知老化方面的差异。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。 根据第二段“When learning or practising a skill, the brain reorganises itself. This ability is called neuroplasticity. For example, professional musicians show structural changes in brain regions related to hearing.(当学习或练习一项技能时，大脑会自我重组。这种能力被称为神经可塑性。例如，专业音乐家在与听力相关的大脑区域表现出结构性变化)”可知，作者提到专业音乐家是为了用具体例子说明神经可塑性这一概念。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。 根据第三段““We intentionally picked highly confusable bird species,” said Wing.(“我们有意选择了非常容易混淆的鸟类品种，”Wing说)”可知，使观鸟者在任务中难以识别鸟类的原因是不同鸟类之间的高度相似性。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。 根据第四段“While identifying non-local birds, three brain regions became more active in expert birders, but not in beginners. These regions are related to object identification, image processing, attention and working memory. Moreover, these brain regions appeared more structurally complex and organised in expert birdwatchers.(在识别非本地鸟类时，专家级观鸟者大脑中有三个区域变得更加活跃，而初学者则没有。这些区域与物体识别、图像处理、注意力和工作记忆有关。此外，这些大脑区域在专家级观鸟者中表现出更复杂的结构和更有组织性)”可知，大脑扫描发现专家级观鸟者的大脑活动更强且组织性更好。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。 据最后一段，作者既指出了研究的积极发现——“birding may help build cognitive reserve, the brain’s ability to protect itself against ageing and adapt to damage(观鸟可能有助于建立认知储备，即大脑保护自身免受衰老影响和适应损伤的能力)”，又指出了研究的局限性——“to really know whether the brain changes are due to birding, researchers would have to scan the brain over months to years(要真正了解大脑的变化是否源于观鸟，研究人员还需要对大脑进行数月乃至数年的扫描)”。同时，作者还引用了外部专家Robert Zatorre的观点来支撑研究价值，可知作者既没有过分夸大研究的意义，也没有全盘否定研究的价值，而是客观呈现了研究的正面发现和待完善之处，这种“正反两面都说到”的写法体现了客观公正的态度。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 We often miss life’s small blessings because they seem too minor to matter. The common saying goes, “Stop making a big deal out of little things.” But what if we did the opposite? ____36____ That is what micro gratitude means. ____37____ For example, the warm drink you enjoy every morning, or the comfortable bed you sleep in every night. ____38____ First, they are so familiar that our brain stops noticing them. Second, we save gratitude only for big events, so most ordinary days go unappreciated. Micro gratitude can be practiced in five areas: conveniences (like your car), simple pleasures (the taste of favorite food), positive interactions (a friend’s joke), physical environment (sunlight), and small wins (progress on a project). ____39____ First, find small positive moments on your calendar. Second, slow down and notice what’s around you. Third, look at familiar things as if for the first time. The greatest benefit of micro gratitude is that it brings us back to the present. It helps us enjoy what we have now. ____40____ It frees us from worrying about the future. By practicing micro gratitude, we realize we have much more to be thankful for than we ever knew. A. Why do we miss these little gifts? B. It stops us from regretting the past. C. To develop this habit, try the following. D. What if we only cared about big events in life? E. Feel thankful only for life-changing moments. F. What if we treated these little things as treasures? G. Give thanks for the ordinary things we take for granted. 【答案】36. F 37. G 38. A 39. C 40. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍微感恩的内涵、被忽略的原因及实践方法与益处。 【36题详解】 由上文“We often miss life’s small blessings because they seem too minor to matter. The common saying goes, “Stop making a big deal out of little things.” But what if we did the opposite? (我们常常忽视生活里微小的美好，只因它们看起来太过微不足道。俗话说：“别小题大做。”可如果我们反其道而行之，又会怎样？)”及下文“That is what micro gratitude means. (这就是微感恩的含义。)”可知，上文提出对“小事不必在意”的反向假设，下文引出“微感恩”的定义，本空应具体说明这种反向做法是什么。F选项“如果我们把这些小事当作珍宝会怎样？”承接上文的假设，并与下文“微感恩”的概念直接对应，符合语境。 【37题详解】 由上文“That is what micro gratitude means. (这就是微感恩的含义。)”及下文“For example, the warm drink you enjoy every morning, or the comfortable bed you sleep in every night. (例如，你每天早上享用的热饮，或者你每晚安睡的舒适床铺。)”可知，上文点明“微感恩”的主题，下文列举日常小事作为例子，本空应是对这些例子的概括性说明。G选项“为我们视为理所当然的平凡事物心存感激。”准确概括了下文例子的共性，能承上启下，符合语境。 【38题详解】 由下文“First, they are so familiar that our brain stops noticing them. Second, we save gratitude only for big events, so most ordinary days go unappreciated. (首先，这些事物太过熟悉，以至于我们的大脑不再留意它们。其次，我们只在重大事情发生时心怀感恩，因此大多数平凡的日子都得不到珍视。)”可知，下文从两个角度分析了原因，本空应为该段的主题句，引出对原因的探讨。A选项“为什么我们会忽略这些小馈赠呢？”引出下文的原因分析，符合语境。 【39题详解】 由下文“First, find small positive moments on your calendar. Second, slow down and notice what’s around you. Third, look at familiar things as if for the first time. (首先，在日历上找到微小的积极时刻。其次，慢下来，留意周围的事物。第三，像第一次那样看待熟悉的事物。)”可知，下文列出了三个具体的实践步骤，本空应为该部分的引领句。C选项“要养成这个习惯，可以尝试以下几点。”总领下文的方法介绍，符合语境。 【40题详解】 由上文“It helps us enjoy what we have now. (它帮助我们享受当下拥有的一切。)”及下文“It frees us from worrying about the future. (它将我们从对未来的焦虑中解脱出来。)”可知，上下文分别阐述了微感恩对“现在”和“未来”的积极影响，本空应补充其对“过去”的作用，形成完整的时间维度。B选项“它让我们不再沉溺于对过去的悔恨。”能承上启下，符合语境。 第三部分 语言知识运用（共三节，满分40分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处，的最佳选项。 When Leo’s best friend, Mia, invited him to join a hiking trip, he ____41____.

B 【解析】 【导语】文章讲述了Leo因害怕迷路编造诸多借口拒绝徒步，好友Mia安抚陪伴他同行。旅途十分愉快，Leo感悟：隐瞒恐惧编造借口不可取，坦诚内心的恐惧才能获得朋友帮助。 【41题详解】 考查动词。句意：当利奥最好的朋友米娅邀请他参加徒步旅行时，他犹豫不决。A. agreed同意；B. waited等待；C. hesitated犹豫；D. complained抱怨。后文“First, he said his boots were worn out. Then he claimed the forecast showed a lot of rain.”利奥不断编造各种借口推脱徒步，说明他一开始就很犹豫。 【42题详解】 考查副词。句意：在那之后，他又担心毒葛过敏，最后，他坚称自己把水瓶落在学校了。A. finally最后；B. instead相反；C. suddenly突然；D. immediately立刻。前文First、Then、After that依次列举借口，此处是最后一条理由，用finally。 【43题详解】 考查名词。句意：米娅主动提出借给他靴子、带一把雨伞、带上止痒药膏，还和他共用自己的水。A. hat帽子；B. umbrella雨伞；C. suit套装；D. stick木棍。上文“Then he claimed the forecast showed a lot of rain.”利奥之前借口天气预报说会下大雨，对应雨伞umbrella。 【44题详解】 考查动词。句意：即便如此，利奥还是摇了摇头。A. shook摇晃；B. dropped丢下；C. moved移动；D. held握住。根据后文“What’s really going on?”可知，利奥坚持拒绝，短语shake one’s head是固定搭配，意为“摇头”，表示拒绝。 【45题详解】 考查形容词。句意：利奥起初一言不发。A. puzzled困惑的；B. sad伤心的；C. annoyed恼怒的；D. silent沉默的。根据后文“Then he admitted”可知，米娅追问真实原因，利奥一开始不愿坦白，保持沉默。 【46题详解】 考查形容词。句意：随后他坦白，他害怕迷路。A. aware意识到的；B. frightened害怕的；C. ashamed羞愧的；D. confident自信的。后文“couldn’t find his group for twenty minutes”回忆他曾经走失的经历，说明他内心恐惧迷路。 【47题详解】 考查介词和副词。句意：有一次学校实地出行，他偏离步道，二十分钟都找不到队伍。A. along沿着；B. on在……上面；C. across穿过；D. off离开。根据后文“the track and couldn’t find his group for twenty minutes”可知，偏离步道导致迷路，wander off the track为固定搭配，表示“偏离小路”。 【48题详解】 考查动词。句意：察觉到利奥的紧张，米娅放柔了语气。A. softened使柔和；B. lost丢失；C. raised提高；D. deepened加深。根据后文“I’ll bring a map and we will stay on the main path the whole time.”可知，米娅想要安抚紧张的利奥，因此放柔说话的声音。 【49题详解】 考查形容词。句意：而且，一刻都不会让你独处。A. bored无聊的；B. upset沮丧的；C. tired疲惫的；D. alone孤单的，独自的。利奥害怕独自迷路，米娅承诺全程相伴，不会让他独自一人。 【50题详解】 考查动词。句意：徒步当天，小路标记清晰，利奥立刻放松下来。A. finished完成；B. stopped停下；C. relaxed放松；D. remembered记得。根据上文“the path was so clearly marked”可知，清晰的路标打消了利奥迷路的担忧，他随之放松。 【51题详解】 考查动名词。句意：利奥最终步行了数月以来最多的路程，几乎走了十英里。A. talking交谈；B. walking行走；C. shouting大喊；D. laughing大笑。根据后文“more than he had in months, covering almost 10 miles”以及本段讲述徒步过程，后半句提及里程，对应走路walk。 【52题详解】 考查名词。句意：如今我明白了：编造借口能让你暂时安全，却会局限自己。A. choices选择；B. excuses借口；C. apologies道歉；D. decisions决定。前文“First, he said his boots were worn out. Then he claimed the forecast showed a lot of rain.”利奥一开始不断编造各种理由推脱徒步，此处对应excuses。 【53题详解】 考查名词。句意：坦诚说出你的恐惧，才能让朋友帮你克服它。A. failure失败；B. joy快乐；C. fear恐惧；D. preference偏好。根据后文“lets your friends help you overcome it”以及上文可知，利奥真正的困扰是害怕迷路，此处指内心的恐惧。 【54题详解】 考查名词。句意：所以诚实并不会让你软弱！A. anxiety焦虑；B. desire渴望；C. honesty诚实；D. shyness害羞。结合上文“Then he admitted: he was ____ of getting lost.”可知，此处点明诚实的意义。 【55题详解】 考查形容词。句意：此外我发现，就算最勇敢的朋友，也会有几件害怕的事。A. best最好的；B. bravest最勇敢的；C. happiest最快乐的；D. oldest最年长的。根据后文“friends have a couple things they’re afraid of”对比自身胆小，利奥感慨再勇敢的人也有畏惧的事物。 第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Indonesian students at East China University of Science and Technology recently took part in a dragon and lion dance activity, ___56___ they gained hands-on experience with this traditional Chinese art form. ___57___ began as a small interest group has grown into a remarkable cultural brand, involving thousands of students across the university.

International students are now participating in ___63___ (increasing) large numbers, and the group aims to share Chinese culture with ___64___ wider range of audiences, demonstrating that tradition and youthful energy can go hand ____65____ hand. 【答案】56. where 57. What 58. strengthening 59. to shape 60. experienced 61. has held 62. accessible 63. increasingly 64. a 65. in 【解析】 【导语】这篇文章主要报道了华东理工大学的印尼留学生参与舞龙舞狮、制作龙灯等活动。该兴趣社团举办百余场活动，借助线上平台向外传播中华传统文化。 【56题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：华东理工大学的印尼学生最近参加了一场舞龙舞狮活动，在那里他们亲身体验了这一中国传统艺术形式。分析句子可知，设空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是a dragon and lion dance activity，在从句中充当地点状语（相当于 in the activity），因此用关系副词where引导。 【57题详解】 考查主语从句。句意：这个最初只是一个小兴趣小组，如今已发展成一个颇具影响力的校园文化品牌，吸引了全校数千名学生参与。空格处引导主语从句且在从句中作主语，指代 “这个社团/事物”，表示 “……的东西”，用连接代词What，句首首字母大写。 【58题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：一位参与者表示，这项舞蹈不仅教会了他表演技巧，更塑造了他的性格，增强了他的耐心和团队精神。句子已有谓语had shaped，空格处为伴随状语，逻辑主语 it（the dance）与 strengthen是主动关系，因此用现在分词strengthening。 【59题详解】 考查动词不定式。句意：在活动中，学生们还尝试制作龙灯，这需要他们将竹条塑造成框架。此处为固定搭配require sb. to do sth.表示“要求某人做某事”，因此填动词不定式to shape。 【60题详解】 考查形容词。句意：尽管任务看似困难，但在经验丰富的成员指导下，他们耐心地不断精进技艺。空格处修饰名词members，需用形容词作定语，experience的形容词形式为 experienced，意为“有经验的”。 【61题详解】 考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：自2020年成立以来，该组织已举办了130多场活动。since+过去时间点是现在完成时的标志，主语the group为单数，因此填has held。 【62题详解】 考查形容词。句意：在这些活动的同时，还推出了一个在线平台，在全球范围内覆盖了5万多人，使文化更加普及。make sth. + adj.为固定结构，意为“使某物处于某种状态”；access的形容词形式为accessible，意为“可接触的、易获得的”。 【63题详解】 考查副词。句意：如今，越来越多的国际学生加入其中，该团体致力于向更广泛的受众传播中华文化，展现传统与青春活力可以相辅相成。空格处修饰形容词large，需用副词形式；increasing的副词为increasingly，意为“越来越多地”，increasingly large numbers表示 “数量越来越多”。 【64题详解】 考查冠词。句意：如今，越来越多的国际学生加入其中，该团体致力于向更广泛的受众传播中华文化，展现传统与青春活力可以相辅相成。此处为固定搭配a range of表示“一系列、广泛的”，wider是比较级，仍需搭配不定冠词a，a wider range of意为“更广泛的”。 【65题详解】 考查固定短语。句意：如今，越来越多的国际学生加入其中，该团体致力于向更广泛的受众传播中华文化，展现传统与青春活力可以相辅相成。此处为固定短语hand in hand，意为“手拉手；携手并进”，符合语境。 第三节（共10题；每题1分，满分10分） 根据句意，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。（用Welcome Unit和Unit 1所学词汇） 66. Artificial intelligence, or AI for short, is being adopted at a __________ (令人害怕的) rate. (根据汉语提示单词拼写) 【答案】frightening 【解析】 【详解】考查形容词。句意：人工智能，简称AI，正在以令人害怕的速度被采用。“令人害怕的”修饰名词rate，用形容词frightening作定语。故填frightening。 67. They say it is important to educate not only __________ (女性) but also males about this question. （根据汉语提示单词拼写） 【答案】females 【解析】 【详解】考查名词。句意：他们说，重要的是不仅要教育女性，也要教育男性关于这个问题。根据汉语提示可知，空处可使用名词female (女性)在句中作宾语，根据males和语境可知，空处表示复数概念，应使用其复数形式。故填females。 68. His passion for________ (探索) new possibilities has inspired many people online. (根据汉语提示单词拼写） 【答案】exploring 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：他对探索新可能性的热情启发了许多网民。根据汉语提示“探索”和前文介词for可知，此处应用动词explore的动名词形式exploring，作介词宾语。故填exploring。 69. We encourage normal technological __________ (交流) and cooperation between Chinese and foreign companies. (根据汉语提示单词拼写) 【答案】exchange 【解析】 【详解】考查名词。句意：我们鼓励中外公司之间进行正常的技术交流与合作。“交流”与名词cooperation是并列关系，用名词exchange作宾语。故填exchange。 70. I know I should stop smoking-don’t give me a ___________________ (训斥)about it. （根据汉语意思单词拼写） 【答案】lecture 【解析】 【详解】考查名词。句意：我知道我应该戒烟，不要因此教训我。根据所给句子和汉语提示可推出是名词lecture“训斥”，此处作give的直接宾语，give sb. a lecture是固定短语，意为“教训某人”。故填lecture。 71. The new library was d________ (设计) by a famous architect from France. (根据中英文提示单词拼写) 【答案】designed##esigned 【解析】 【详解】句意：这座新图书馆是由一位来自法国的著名建筑师设计的。根据汉语提示“设计”和首字母d可知，此处应填入动词design，主语The new library与动词design之间为被动关系，且空前有be动词was，构成一般过去时的被动语态（was + 过去分词），故填入其过去分词形式designed。 72. It’s hard to c________ (集中注意力) on studying when the room is so noisy. (根据中英文提示单词拼写) 【答案】concentrate##oncentrate 【解析】 【详解】句意：当房间这么吵的时候，很难集中注意力学习。空处应填动词原形，与前面的不定式符号to构成动词不定式作真正的主语。结合首字母c和汉语提示“集中注意力”可知，动词concentrate符合题意，且concentrate on（集中注意力于……）为固定搭配。 73. She felt ________ (annoy) because her brother kept interrupting her. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】annoyed 【解析】 【详解】句意：她感到很恼火，因为弟弟一直打扰她。空前felt为系动词，此处为形容词作表语，annoyed：形容词，意为“感到恼火的”，用来描述人的感受（主语是人she）；annoying：“令人恼火的”，修饰事物，所以此处为形容词annoyed。 74. I’m ________ (anxious) waiting for the result of the competition. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】anxiously 【解析】 【详解】句意：我正焦急地等待比赛结果。空处修饰动词waiting，需用副词作状语；anxious的副词形式为anxiously，意为“焦急地”。 75. The little boy looked at the astronaut with ________(curious). (所给词的适当形式填空） 【答案】curiosity 【解析】 【详解】考查名词。句意：小男孩好奇地看着宇航员。介词with后接名词形式。根据句意，故填curiosity。curiosity为不可数名词。故填curiosity。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5句：每句2分，满分10分） 按给出的中文意思，翻译下列句子。（用Welcome Unit和Unit 1所学词汇） 76. 这就是了——终于到了高中！ So this is it—— __________ __________ school at last. 【答案】 ①. senior ②. high 【解析】 【详解】根据句意以及句子结构可知，此处为名词短语senior high school，意为“高中”。形容词修饰名词。 77. 这男孩好的行为给在场的人留下了好的印象。 The boy’s good deed __________ __________ __________ __________ __________ the people present. 【答案】 ①. made/left ②. a ③. good ④. impression ⑤. on 【解析】 【详解】对比中英文提示，空处为“给某人留下好印象”，英文表达为make/leave a good impression on sb.，句中描述的是已经发生的动作，需使用一般过去时。 78. 作为班干部，你必须对自己的工作负责并且认真履行职责。 As a class leader, you must __________ __________ __________ your work and perform your duties carefully. 【答案】 ①. be ②. responsible ③. for 【解析】 【详解】根据句意以及句子结构可知，此处为固定短语be responsible for，意为“对…… 负责”，符合语境，结合空前must情态动词可知，为动词原形。 79. 我真想对他说：请安静点，别打扰我。 I really wanted to tell him to please be __________ and __________ __________ __________. 【答案】 ①. quiet ②. leave ③. me ④. alone 【解析】 【详解】根据句意以及句子结构可知，该句第一处为形容词quiet“安静的”作表语，符合语境；该句第二处应为固定短语leave me alone“别打扰我”，符合语境，它与前面的be quiet并列，共同作tell的宾语补足语，共用不定式符号to，因此leave用动词原形。 80. 千里之行，始于足下。 A thousand—mile journey ________ the first step. 【答案】starts/begins with 【解析】 【详解】考查短语、主谓一致和时态。根据汉语提示可知，空处的内容为“开始于”，短语：start/begin with“开始于”，符合题意，主语A thousand—mile journey为单数，且表示客观事实，所以空处用一般现在时的单数。故填starts/begins with。 第二节：（满分20分：写作15分，卷面5分。） 81. 仿照课文，利用所学知识写一篇自我介绍，包括以下要素：English name, age, grade, school, personality, favorite subject, learning style/strategies, hobbies, future plans and dreams。（80词左右） My profile ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】My profile Hello everyone!

B Six years ago, I was trapped in a heart-breaking office job in Edinburgh. Each day I left early in the morning while my family slept, and returned with just enough time to say good night to my little boys. We loved our home but could not afford it. To break free from this tiring trap, I made a risky plan: I gave up my job and turned to the wilderness of Alaska. This madness was inspired by my discovery of Walden by Henry David Thoreau, who had returned to nature in search of a simpler life in the 1840s. His philosophy was the inspiration I needed. In Alaska, despite facing extreme cold and hunger, I lived in a small wooden hut and finally achieved my dream. A year later, though unemployed, I felt internally rich. Recently, I made a journey to Walden Pond in Massachusetts, the very lake that inspired Thoreau. I was worried that modern changes would damage my romantic vision of the place. My heart indeed dropped when the GPS system directed me to an orderly, tarmac (沥青铺的) car park, and a sign saying no woodfires. The presence of joggers and tourists threatened to ruin my sense of personal discovery. For a moment, I even regretted coming. But then a fish jumped, creating widening circles across the water. I reached up, pulled some green needles from a pine tree, and pressed them between my fingers, catching their clean smell. I realized that while the surface world had sped up, the necessary, slow forces of nature remained unchanged. There was still space to feel what had inspired Thoreau. My trip was worth the risk. Most of us will never have enough money, but nature offers limitless wealth to fill our spiritual banks. 24. What made the author decide to leave his job? A. Spiritual crisis. B. Wild adventure. C. Financial stress. D. Family tension. 25. What does the underlined word “internally” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Fully. B. Mentally. C. Colorfully. D. Terribly. 26.

Studies show the earlier kids learn to form positive relationships, the better they are at relating to others as teenagers and adults. Playing together also helps these kids practice social behaviors, such as kindness, sharing, and cooperation. Even so, how quickly your child develops into a social creature may also depend on his temperament (性格). Some toddlers are very social, but others are shy. In addition, the way that toddlers demonstrate that they like other children is obviously different from what adults think of as expressions of friendship. Research at Ohio State University in Columbus found that a toddler’s way of saying “I like you” during play is likely to come in the form of copying a friend’s behavior. This seemingly unusual way of demonstrating fondness can result in unpleasant behavior. No matter how much they like a playmate, they may still grab his toys, refuse to share, and get bossy. But experts say that this is a normal and necessary part of friendship for kids this age. Through play experiences, toddlers learn social rules. That’s why it’s so important to take an active role in your toddler’s social encounters by setting limits and offering frequent reminders of what they are. When you establish these guidelines, explain the reasons behind them. Begin by helping your child learn sympathy (“Ben is crying. What’s making him so sad?”), and then suggest how he could resolve the problem (“Maybe he would feel better if you let him play the ball.”). When your child shares or shows empathy (同理心) toward a friend, praise him (“Ben stopped crying! You made him feel better.”). Another way to encourage healthy social interaction is by encouraging kids to use words — not fists — to express how they feel. It’s also important to be mindful of how your child’s personality affects playtime. Kids are easy to get angry when they’re sleepy or hungry, so schedule playtime when they’re refreshed. 28. What does it indicate when toddlers copy their playmates’ behavior? A. They want to lead the play. B. They are too shy to express themselves. C. They are fond of their playmates. D. They are competing against each other. 29. What does the author suggest parents do for their kids? A. Design games for them. B. Find them suitable playmates. C. Play together with them. D. Help them understand social rules. 30. What is the function of the quoted (引用的) statements in paragraph 4? A. Giving examples. B. Explaining concepts. C. Providing evidence. D. Making comparisons. 31. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. How Children Adapt to Changes B. How to Be a Role Model for Children C. How Toddlers Learn Social Skills D. How to Communicate with Your Kid D Expert birdwatchers have changes in their brain structure (结构) compared with beginners, which probably help them better identify birds and slow age-related cognitive (认知的) loss. When learning or practising a skill, the brain reorganises itself. This ability is called neuroplasticity. For example, professional musicians show structural changes in brain regions related to hearing. To understand whether birding also shapes the brain, Erik Wing at York University in Canada and his colleagues analysed brain structure and function in 48 hobbyist birders, half experts and half beginners. They were aged 22 to 79 and both groups were similar in terms of sex, age and education. During brain scans (扫描), the birders were shown a bird image for less than 4 seconds. About 10 seconds later, they tried identifying the same bird in one of four images, each showing a different species. “We intentionally picked highly confusable bird species,” said Wing. The task was repeated 72 times, using images of 18 bird species, six of which were local and 12 of which weren’t. As expected, expert birders performed better. On average, they correctly identified 83% of local birds and 61% of non-local ones. In contrast, beginners got only 44% correct for both. While identifying non-local birds, three brain regions became more active in expert birders, but not in beginners. These regions are related to object identification, image processing, attention and working memory. Moreover, these brain regions appeared more structurally complex (复杂的) and organised in expert birdwatchers, suggesting building expertise in birding reshapes the brain. As we age, brain structure normally becomes less complex. But this change was less noticeable in expert birders, suggesting birding may help build cognitive reserve, the brain’s ability to protect itself against ageing and adapt to damage. “Maintaining brain activity with specialised abilities may reduce the effects of ageing,” said Robert Zatorre at McGill University in Canada. However, to really know whether the brain changes are due to birding, researchers would have to scan the brain over months to years. 32. Why does the author mention professional musicians? A. To talk about different life skills. B. To illustrate the idea of neuroplasticity. C. To show musicians’ great talent. D. To compare music with birdwatching. 33. What made it hard for the birders to identify the birds in the task? A. Much repetition of the task itself. B. Inclusion of more non-local birds. C. Close similarity among bird species. D. Improper timing for image viewing. 34. What did the brain scans find about expert birders? A. No brain changes related to ageing. B. Quicker brain responses to local birds. C. The same complexity of the brain as beginners’. D. Greater activity and finer organization of the brain. 35. What is the author’s attitude towards the findings? A. Fair. B. Supportive. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 We often miss life’s small blessings because they seem too minor to matter. The common saying goes, “Stop making a big deal out of little things.” But what if we did the opposite? ____36____ That is what micro gratitude means. ____37____ For example, the warm drink you enjoy every morning, or the comfortable bed you sleep in every night. ____38____ First, they are so familiar that our brain stops noticing them. Second, we save gratitude only for big events, so most ordinary days go unappreciated. Micro gratitude can be practiced in five areas: conveniences (like your car), simple pleasures (the taste of favorite food), positive interactions (a friend’s joke), physical environment (sunlight), and small wins (progress on a project). ____39____ First, find small positive moments on your calendar. Second, slow down and notice what’s around you. Third, look at familiar things as if for the first time. The greatest benefit of micro gratitude is that it brings us back to the present. It helps us enjoy what we have now. ____40____ It frees us from worrying about the future. By practicing micro gratitude, we realize we have much more to be thankful for than we ever knew. A. Why do we miss these little gifts? B. It stops us from regretting the past. C. To develop this habit, try the following. D. What if we only cared about big events in life? E. Feel thankful only for life-changing moments. F. What if we treated these little things as treasures? G. Give thanks for the ordinary things we take for granted. 第三部分 语言知识运用（共三节，满分40分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处，的最佳选项。 When Leo’s best friend, Mia, invited him to join a hiking trip, he ____41____.

One robot called slug bot was even designed to hunt garden insects for dinner. Scientists at the wrestle robotics laboratory want to invent robots that can Operate for long periods of time in dark, dirty or dangerous places. Many of those spots, like the sea floor or at arca, don't have electrical equipment to connect power supply. So inventer Chris mell sh came up with a Better idea, build robots that get their energy, just like animals do. The robots digest their food in the stomach, like equipment full of bacteria. As the bacteria eat up the food, they produce something that is very important to form electricity.
