(本题10分)On a Saturday morning, five teenage reporters filed into a busy New York office, red pens in hand, for a two-hour working session. They carefully improved articles for The Ditch Weekly — a seasonal newspaper entirely written and edited by 13-to-17-year-olds — tightening awkward sentences and changing adjectives to perfect their first issue of the year.
Fifteen-year-old editor Billy Stern monitored progress using a color-coded planning document on his computer, which tracked completed articles including features on local summer camps and the construction of a new hospital on a former baseball field. Turning to his 15-year-old friend Teddy Rattray, the paper’s best columnist (专栏作者), he sought ideas for an upcoming restaurant review. “We still haven’t done hot dogs,” Teddy suggested with a smile.
The operation has grown significantly smoother since the boys launched their newspaper last year. Billy initially sought a summer job more challenging than his usual work at a food truck, and after publishing 10 successful issues last summer, the team continued this year — plotting their comeback during English class discussions and late-night FaceTime calls.
Now with a staff of 20 teenagers, their ambitious goals include distributing (分配) 2,000 weekly copies funded entirely through local advertising. Determined to maintain complete independence from parental involvement, they have a deeper mission: to encourage young people to disconnect from screens and revive (复苏) the print journalism.
Though launching a print publication amid (处于……状况中) industry-wide decline might seem unconventional, Billy conducted thorough research before launching in 2023. After giving up ideas like beach food vending, he asked printers for production costs and studied The Star’s advertising rates to create a practical business model. “The numbers worked out,” he noted confidently.
Despite ongoing industry challenges, The Ditch Weekly has achieved remarkable profits. While declining to reveal exact figures, the paper says staff writers earn $50-$70 per article, with weekly printing costs averaging $9,000.
24.(2.5分)The author uses the example of “tracking completed articles with a color-coded document” in Paragraph 2 mainly to ______.
A.highlight Billy’s organizational skills
B.criticize inefficient editing processes
C.compare teenage and adult work habits
D.explain the newspaper’s digital transition
25.(2.5分)Which of the following best describes Billy Stern based on the passage?
A.Impractical. B.Ambitious. C.Cautious. D.Stubborn.
26.(2.5分)What do the teenagers emphasize in running The Ditch Weekly?
A.Parental financial support for printing costs.
B.Digital expansion over print distribution.
C.Complete independence and community impact.
D.Maximizing profits for personal gain.
27.(2.5分)What is the main idea of the passage?
A.The decline of traditional print media in New York.
B.Challenges faced by young businessmen in media.
C.The history of student-run newspapers in the United States.
D.Teenagers’ innovative approach to independent journalism.
(本题10分)A letter from a prime minister, a child’s notebook, a prized sporting medal: what do these things have in common? On the surface, not much at all. But for Tony Armstrong’s Extra-Ordinary Things, that doesn’t matter in the slightest.
In this five-part ABC TV series and accompanying exhibition at the National Museum of Australia, it’s not really the objects themselves that matter; it’s the stories and people behind them that construct a story about the nation and its past. This project sees popular television presenter Tony Armstrong travel the country in search of items for his special exhibition.
Some objects capture major moments in Australian history. The anti-Iraq war protest that saw the words NO WAR painted on the sails of the Sydney Opera House in 2003 is represented by the paint tray used for the act. Through a memorial pin held by Harbour Bridge construction worker George Killen’s great-granddaughter, we hear the forgotten story of how one worker selflessly dived into the cold waters of the harbour below to save a friend. Turns out, the ordinary can be extra-ordinary.
This doesn’t mean the project shies away from the dark aspects of our past. In one episode, Armstrong speaks from the edge of the “exclusion (排斥) zone” that marked the area in Perth where First Nations people, only seventy years ago, were not permitted to enter freely.
Sometimes light-hearted, sometimes heart-breaking, Extra-Ordinary Things is largely optimistic in tone. It is an example of how storytelling can bridge divides, allow us to confront realities, and enable us to make choices that might go some way to addressing wrongs.
When I asked Armstrong what he hoped the project would achieve, he said: “I hope it gets people telling stories.” Whether you’re asking your grandma or your friends to share their extraordinary things, his advice is to “be eager to discover, be curious.”
28.(2.5分)What do we know about the objects listed in paragraph 1?
A.Rare but tie to everyday life. B.Tiny but represent official records.
C.Ordinary but hold special meaning. D.Historic but mask personal connections.
29.(2.5分)Why is the memorial pin mentioned in paragraph 3?
A.To present a fact. B.To illustrate a point.
C.To explore a rule. D.To clarify a concept.
30.(2.5分)What message does Armstrong want to convey in his project?
A.History is full of injustice. B.History is made up of fun stories.
C.Painful things should be left behind. D.All historical facts should be acknowledged.
31.(2.5分)What does Armstrong encourage viewers to do?
A.Seek stories with an inquiring mind. B.Engage their family with better stories.
C.Collect ordinary items for the exhibition. D.Study professional storytelling techniques.
(本题10分)In Kenerson’s after-school classroom, Sandi takes out a piece of paper and fills up a whole line to spell words that allow her to practice cursive (草书) — her new favorite method of writing.
She is a proud member of the Holmes Middle School cursive club in Virginia. Cursive has been on the rise for years now. More than two dozen states now require cursive instruction in schools after the 2010 Common Core standards left out the skill.
Kenerson started the middle school club when students couldn’t read her writing on the board. They just stared at her blankly, she said. For an educator who firmly believes that quotes deserve to be written in cursive, Kenerson wanted to give students a chance to understand the magic of the cursive.
The club exploded in popularity this past winter, with the Washington Post crediting it for “keeping cursive alive”. Kenerson’s after-school club is a local example of a nationwide trend — cursive handwriting is back in many classrooms across the country. Teachers and legislators credit the return to nostalgia (怀旧) and some evidence of educational benefits. But surprisingly, the curves and swoops are contentious among experts, and some argue that cursive does not add any real value for students, especially in the age of AI.
“I have seen no evidence that cursive brings any particular cognitive (认知的) or learning benefit beyond that brought by hand printing,” wrote Mark.
Much of the cursive debate centers around time in the classroom. Should educators spend precious minutes teaching another way to write on paper when technology is so readily available?
Datchuk, a professor of special education at the University of Iowa, said the answer does not have to be one or the other. In his college classroom, he sees students increasingly using tablets to take notes.“What that means is that as a country, we likely need to help our students become multi-modal,” Datchuk said. They need to not only be able to handwrite using print, but also use cursive, type, and interact with technology, he said.
32.(2.5分)What drove Kenerson to set up the cursive club?
A.Other educators’ appeal.
B.Students’ interest in cursive.
C.Students’ ignorance of cursive.
D.The desire to stand out among workmates.
33.(2.5分)What is the current situation of cursive in the US?
A.It lacks official support. B.It is regaining popularity.
C.It remains unknown to the public. D.It is a required subject in all schools.
34.(2.5分)What does the underlined word "contentious" in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A.Easily forgotten. B.Rapidly changed.
C.Widely accepted. D.Deeply questioned.
35.(2.5分)What does Datchuk advise students to do?
A.Focus only on printed handwriting in class.
B.Give up handwriting and turn to technology.
C.Spend more time practicing cursive every day.
D.Master different ways of writing and learning.
(本题12.5分)Judging a Book by Its Cover
The English idiom “Don’t judge a book by its cover” is a metaphor. It means one should not judge the worth or value of something by its outward appearance alone.
36(2.5分) I agree that you shouldn’t judge a book only by its cover, but please don’t ignore the cover either. The cover is the all-important first impression. Everything on that cover, front and back, is purposefully designed to persuade you to buy and read the book. 37(2.5分) From the cover you learn the title and author, either of which might be enough to convince you to read it. There’s also a plot summary on the back, and maybe some reviews. The cover picture, colors, and font (字体) style all give a potential reader an idea of what the book is about.
As an author, I recognize the need for an impressive cover. Several years ago, I published Under the Almond Trees. 38(2.5分) I wanted color rather than black and white, though. I was very happy with the result. Later, though, I realized something was missing. I liked the blue sky, the blossoms on the trees, the color of the font, but the feel just didn’t scream, “Pick me up!” 39(2.5分) I remember telling her that I liked the design, but something was off. Her resulting design was similar. The almond trees were still there, as was the horse and cart. The colors and font were better. It was nothing I could have described, but the new cover was breathtaking. It was even a finalist in a cover design competition.
So whether you are told to judge a book by its cover or not, I know such judging occurs. A potential reader decides whether to pick up a book or not based on the cover information. 40(2.5分)
A.So I hired a different designer to undo it.
B.But the proverb doesn’t tell the whole story.
C.In fact, many authors underestimate the cover design.
D.Therefore, it’s important to remember that the cover matters.
E.The cover is only part of the book, but it’s an important part.
F.A truly great story, however, will always succeed regardless of its cover.
G.I asked a cover designer to use an old photo as the model for the cover.

六、书面表达
67.(本题25分)阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Mr. Smith’s poetry competition was the highlight of the school year. For weeks, the students worked hard on their poems. The classroom was full of whispers and crossed-out lines as students worked hard to create something meaningful. It was all about expressing real feelings, but there was one person who wasn’t quite on the same page — Janet.
Janet was not into poetry. She liked things that made sense, like math problems or coding. In those subjects, she followed a clear path and arrived at an answer. But poetry? It seemed confusing, full of feelings and abstract (抽象的) ideas. Janet didn’t understand how words could be so powerful even when they didn’t seem to make sense.
The night before the competition, Janet’s paper was still blank, and she had no idea what to write. Feeling hopeless, she turned to an AI writer for help. With a few clicks, a perfect poem appeared on her screen. It had beautiful words and flowing lines, far better than anything she could have written. Janet felt guilty (愧疚的), but she copied the poem, put her name at the top and printed it out.
The next day in class, students took turns reading their poems. Some were nervous, their voices shaking, while others read with more confidence. Their poems might not have been perfect, but they were honest. Then Janet stood up. Her voice was shaky too, but for a different reason. Her poem was perfect, as though it had come from a book of poetry. When she finished, the room was silent for a moment, then everyone clapped. They were impressed by how beautiful her poem was. But Mr. Smith didn’t clap. He just looked at Janet with a quiet, thoughtful expression. After class, he asked her to stay. Janet had butterflies in her stomach.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“This poem is perfect, but it doesn’t sound like you,” Mr. Smith said softly.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After the conversation, Janet made up her mind to create her own work.

(本题10分)On a Saturday morning, five teenage reporters filed into a busy New York office, red pens in hand, for a two-hour working session. They carefully improved articles for The Ditch Weekly — a seasonal newspaper entirely written and edited by 13-to-17-year-olds — tightening awkward sentences and changing adjectives to perfect their first issue of the year.
Fifteen-year-old editor Billy Stern monitored progress using a color-coded planning document on his computer, which tracked completed articles including features on local summer camps and the construction of a new hospital on a former baseball field. Turning to his 15-year-old friend Teddy Rattray, the paper’s best columnist (专栏作者), he sought ideas for an upcoming restaurant review. “We still haven’t done hot dogs,” Teddy suggested with a smile.
The operation has grown significantly smoother since the boys launched their newspaper last year. Billy initially sought a summer job more challenging than his usual work at a food truck, and after publishing 10 successful issues last summer, the team continued this year — plotting their comeback during English class discussions and late-night FaceTime calls.
Now with a staff of 20 teenagers, their ambitious goals include distributing (分配) 2,000 weekly copies funded entirely through local advertising. Determined to maintain complete independence from parental involvement, they have a deeper mission: to encourage young people to disconnect from screens and revive (复苏) the print journalism.
Though launching a print publication amid (处于……状况中) industry-wide decline might seem unconventional, Billy conducted thorough research before launching in 2023. After giving up ideas like beach food vending, he asked printers for production costs and studied The Star’s advertising rates to create a practical business model. “The numbers worked out,” he noted confidently.
Despite ongoing industry challenges, The Ditch Weekly has achieved remarkable profits. While declining to reveal exact figures, the paper says staff writers earn $50-$70 per article, with weekly printing costs averaging $9,000.
24.(2.5分)The author uses the example of “tracking completed articles with a color-coded document” in Paragraph 2 mainly to ______.
A.highlight Billy’s organizational skills
B.criticize inefficient editing processes
C.compare teenage and adult work habits
D.explain the newspaper’s digital transition
25.(2.5分)Which of the following best describes Billy Stern based on the passage?
A.Impractical. B.Ambitious. C.Cautious. D.Stubborn.
26.(2.5分)What do the teenagers emphasize in running The Ditch Weekly?
A.Parental financial support for printing costs.
B.Digital expansion over print distribution.
C.Complete independence and community impact.
D.Maximizing profits for personal gain.
27.(2.5分)What is the main idea of the passage?
A.The decline of traditional print media in New York.
B.Challenges faced by young businessmen in media.
C.The history of student-run newspapers in the United States.
D.Teenagers’ innovative approach to independent journalism.
【答案】24.A 25.B 26.C 27.D
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了以比利·斯特恩为首的一群青少年,在纽约创办并运营一份完全由13-17岁年轻人撰稿和编辑的独立季节性报纸《The Ditch Weekly》的故事,展示了他们在数字时代对纸媒的探索、坚持独立运营的决心以及展现出的企业家精神。
【详解】24.推理判断题。根据第二段中“Fifteen-year-old editor Billy Stern monitored progress using a color-coded planning document on his computer, which tracked completed articles including features on local summer camps and the construction of a new hospital on a former baseball field.(15岁的编辑比利·斯特恩(Billy Stern)在电脑上使用颜色编码的规划文件来监控进度,该文件跟踪已完成的文章,包括关于当地夏令营和在以前的棒球场上新建医院的专题报道)”可知,作者通过描述比利使用彩色编码文件跟踪文章进度,主要是为了展现作为青少年编辑的比利·斯特恩在组织和项目管理方面的能力。故选A项。
25.推理判断题。根据第四段中“Now with a staff of 20 teenagers, their ambitious goals include distributing (分配) 2,000 weekly copies funded entirely through local advertising.(现在,他们拥有20名青少年员工,雄心勃勃的目标包括每周发行2000份,资金全部来自当地广告)”以及第五段中“After giving up ideas like beach food vending, he asked printers for production costs and studied The Star’s advertising rates to create a practical business model.(在放弃海滩食品销售等想法后,他向印刷商询问生产成本,并研究了《星报》的广告费率,以创建一个可行的商业模式)”可知,比利不仅有远大的目标,还通过实际行动来实现这些目标,体现出了他的雄心壮志。故选B项。
26.细节理解题。根据第四段中“Determined to maintain complete independence from parental involvement, they have a deeper mission: to encourage young people to disconnect from screens and revive (复苏) the print journalism.(他们决心保持完全独立,不依赖父母,他们有一个更远大的使命:鼓励年轻人远离屏幕,复兴印刷新闻业)”可知,青少年在运营《The Ditch Weekly》时强调完全独立和对社区(特别是年轻人)的影响。故选C项。
27.主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是根据第一段“On a Saturday morning, five teenage reporters filed into a busy New York office, red pens in hand, for a two-hour working session. They carefully improved articles for The Ditch Weekly — a seasonal newspaper entirely written and edited by 13-to-17-year-olds — tightening awkward sentences and changing adjectives to perfect their first issue of the year.(一个周六的早晨,五名青少年记者手持红笔,鱼贯步入繁忙的纽约办公室,开始了为期两小时的工作会议。他们正为《The Ditch Weekly》精心修改稿件——这份季节性报纸完全由13至17岁的青少年撰稿编辑。通过精炼生硬的句子、调整形容词,他们将共同完善本年度的首期报纸)”以及文章后续描述他们如何创办、运营这份独立报纸,并实现盈利和扩大影响可知,文章主要讲述了一群青少年如何创新地创办并独立运营一份实体报纸,展现了年轻一代对新闻业的热情和探索。故D项“Teenagers’ innovative approach to independent journalism. (青少年对独立新闻业的创新探索)”能概括文章主旨。故选D项。
(本题10分)A letter from a prime minister, a child’s notebook, a prized sporting medal: what do these things have in common? On the surface, not much at all. But for Tony Armstrong’s Extra-Ordinary Things, that doesn’t matter in the slightest.
In this five-part ABC TV series and accompanying exhibition at the National Museum of Australia, it’s not really the objects themselves that matter; it’s the stories and people behind them that construct a story about the nation and its past. This project sees popular television presenter Tony Armstrong travel the country in search of items for his special exhibition.
Some objects capture major moments in Australian history. The anti-Iraq war protest that saw the words NO WAR painted on the sails of the Sydney Opera House in 2003 is represented by the paint tray used for the act. Through a memorial pin held by Harbour Bridge construction worker George Killen’s great-granddaughter, we hear the forgotten story of how one worker selflessly dived into the cold waters of the harbour below to save a friend. Turns out, the ordinary can be extra-ordinary.
This doesn’t mean the project shies away from the dark aspects of our past. In one episode, Armstrong speaks from the edge of the “exclusion (排斥) zone” that marked the area in Perth where First Nations people, only seventy years ago, were not permitted to enter freely.
Sometimes light-hearted, sometimes heart-breaking, Extra-Ordinary Things is largely optimistic in tone. It is an example of how storytelling can bridge divides, allow us to confront realities, and enable us to make choices that might go some way to addressing wrongs.
When I asked Armstrong what he hoped the project would achieve, he said: “I hope it gets people telling stories.” Whether you’re asking your grandma or your friends to share their extraordinary things, his advice is to “be eager to discover, be curious.”
28.(2.5分)What do we know about the objects listed in paragraph 1?
A.Rare but tie to everyday life. B.Tiny but represent official records.
C.Ordinary but hold special meaning. D.Historic but mask personal connections.
29.(2.5分)Why is the memorial pin mentioned in paragraph 3?
A.To present a fact. B.To illustrate a point.
C.To explore a rule. D.To clarify a concept.
30.(2.5分)What message does Armstrong want to convey in his project?
A.History is full of injustice. B.History is made up of fun stories.
C.Painful things should be left behind. D.All historical facts should be acknowledged.
31.(2.5分)What does Armstrong encourage viewers to do?
A.Seek stories with an inquiring mind. B.Engage their family with better stories.
C.Collect ordinary items for the exhibition. D.Study professional storytelling techniques.
【答案】28.C 29.B 30.D 31.A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一档电视节目及其展览,这一项目通过普通物品背后的故事展现澳大利亚的历史,既包含感人瞬间也直面黑暗过往,旨在鼓励人们以好奇心发掘和分享故事。
【详解】28.细节理解题。根据第一段中“A letter from a prime minister, a child’s notebook, a prized sporting medal: what do these things have in common? On the surface, not much at all. (一封首相的信,一个孩子的笔记本,一枚珍贵的体育奖牌:这些东西有什么共同之处?从表面上看,没什么)”和第二段中“it’s not really the objects themselves that matter; it’s the stories and people behind them that construct a story about the nation and its past (真正重要的并非这些物件本身,而是它们背后的人物和故事——正是这些构建了一个关于国家及其历史的故事)”可知,这些物品看似普通但有特殊意义。故选C项。
29.推理判断题。根据第三段中“Through a memorial pin held by Harbour Bridge construction worker George Killen’s great-granddaughter, we hear the forgotten story of how one worker selflessly dived into the cold waters of the harbour below to save a friend. Turns out, the ordinary can be extra-ordinary. (通过海港大桥建筑工人George Killen的曾孙女拿着的纪念别针,我们听到了一个被遗忘的故事:一名工人如何无私地跳入冰冷的海港拯救朋友。事实证明,平凡也可以变得非凡)”可知,别针的例子用于阐明后文的观点——普通物品因其背后的人物和故事而变得非凡。故选B项。
30.推理判断题。根据第三段中“Some objects capture major moments in Australian history. (一些物品记录了澳大利亚历史上的重要时刻)”、第四段中“This doesn’t mean the project shies away from the dark aspects of our past. (这并不意味着该项目回避了我们过去的黑暗面)”和第五段中“It is an example of how storytelling can bridge divides, allow us to confront realities, and enable us to make choices that might go some way to addressing wrongs. (这是一个例子,说明讲故事可以弥合分歧,让我们面对现实,让我们做出可能在某种程度上纠正错误的选择)”可知,该项目既记录正面的重要时刻,也直面历史黑暗,希望人们可以面对现实,可推知Armstrong传达的讯息是“所有的历史事实都应该被承认”。故选D项。
31.细节理解题。根据最后一段“When I asked Armstrong what he hoped the project would achieve, he said: “I hope it gets people telling stories.” Whether you’re asking your grandma or your friends to share their extraordinary things, his advice is to “be eager to discover, be curious.” (当我问Armstrong他希望这个项目能达到什么目的时,他说:“我希望它能让人们讲故事。”无论你是让你的奶奶还是你的朋友分享他们非凡的事情,他的建议是“渴望发现,保持好奇。”)”可知,他鼓励观众以好奇心寻找故事。故选A项。
(本题10分)In Kenerson’s after-school classroom, Sandi takes out a piece of paper and fills up a whole line to spell words that allow her to practice cursive (草书) — her new favorite method of writing.
She is a proud member of the Holmes Middle School cursive club in Virginia. Cursive has been on the rise for years now. More than two dozen states now require cursive instruction in schools after the 2010 Common Core standards left out the skill.
Kenerson started the middle school club when students couldn’t read her writing on the board. They just stared at her blankly, she said. For an educator who firmly believes that quotes deserve to be written in cursive, Kenerson wanted to give students a chance to understand the magic of the cursive.
The club exploded in popularity this past winter, with the Washington Post crediting it for “keeping cursive alive”. Kenerson’s after-school club is a local example of a nationwide trend — cursive handwriting is back in many classrooms across the country. Teachers and legislators credit the return to nostalgia (怀旧) and some evidence of educational benefits. But surprisingly, the curves and swoops are contentious among experts, and some argue that cursive does not add any real value for students, especially in the age of AI.
“I have seen no evidence that cursive brings any particular cognitive (认知的) or learning benefit beyond that brought by hand printing,” wrote Mark.
Much of the cursive debate centers around time in the classroom. Should educators spend precious minutes teaching another way to write on paper when technology is so readily available?
Datchuk, a professor of special education at the University of Iowa, said the answer does not have to be one or the other. In his college classroom, he sees students increasingly using tablets to take notes.“What that means is that as a country, we likely need to help our students become multi-modal,” Datchuk said. They need to not only be able to handwrite using print, but also use cursive, type, and interact with technology, he said.
32.(2.5分)What drove Kenerson to set up the cursive club?
A.Other educators’ appeal.
B.Students’ interest in cursive.
C.Students’ ignorance of cursive.
D.The desire to stand out among workmates.
33.(2.5分)What is the current situation of cursive in the US?
A.It lacks official support. B.It is regaining popularity.
C.It remains unknown to the public. D.It is a required subject in all schools.
34.(2.5分)What does the underlined word "contentious" in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A.Easily forgotten. B.Rapidly changed.
C.Widely accepted. D.Deeply questioned.
35.(2.5分)What does Datchuk advise students to do?
A.Focus only on printed handwriting in class.
B.Give up handwriting and turn to technology.
C.Spend more time practicing cursive every day.
D.Master different ways of writing and learning.
【答案】32.C 33.B 34.D 35.D
【导语】本文主要介绍美国草书教学重新兴起的校园现象,讲述教师Kenerson创办草书社团的缘由,同时介绍专家对于草书教学的价值争议以及相关教育学者给出的折中教育观点。
【详解】32.细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Kenerson started the middle school club when students couldn’t read her writing on the board. They just stared at her blankly, she said.(Kenerson说,当学生们看不懂她写在黑板上的字时,她创办了这个中学俱乐部。他们只是茫然地盯着她。)”可知,促使Kenerson创办草书俱乐部的原因是学生们对草书一无所知。
33.细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Kenerson’s after-school club is a local example of a nationwide trend — cursive handwriting is back in many classrooms across the country.(Kenerson的课后社团是全国趋势的一个缩影——草书书写正在全国众多课堂中再度回归。)”可知,美国草书如今正在重新流行、恢复热度。
34.词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“Teachers and legislators credit the return to nostalgia (怀旧) and some evidence of educational benefits. But surprisingly, the curves and swoops are contentious among experts, and some argue that cursive does not add any real value for students, especially in the age of AI.(教师和立法者将草书的回归归因于怀旧情结以及其具备一定教育价值,但令人意外的是,草书在专家群体中是contentious的,部分专家认为在人工智能时代,草书无法为学生带来实际价值。)”可知,对于草书的价值,专家们看法不一、存在诸多质疑,contentious意为“备受争议、遭到深度质疑”,与Deeply questioned意思相近。
35.细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“They need to not only be able to handwrite using print, but also use cursive, type, and interact with technology, he said.(他表示,学生不仅需要会印刷体手写,还需要掌握草书、打字以及运用各类科技工具。)”可知,Datchuk建议学生掌握多种书写与学习方式,实现多元学习模式。
(本题12.5分)Judging a Book by Its Cover
The English idiom “Don’t judge a book by its cover” is a metaphor. It means one should not judge the worth or value of something by its outward appearance alone.
36(2.5分) I agree that you shouldn’t judge a book only by its cover, but please don’t ignore the cover either. The cover is the all-important first impression. Everything on that cover, front and back, is purposefully designed to persuade you to buy and read the book. 37(2.5分) From the cover you learn the title and author, either of which might be enough to convince you to read it. There’s also a plot summary on the back, and maybe some reviews. The cover picture, colors, and font (字体) style all give a potential reader an idea of what the book is about.
As an author, I recognize the need for an impressive cover. Several years ago, I published Under the Almond Trees. 38(2.5分) I wanted color rather than black and white, though. I was very happy with the result. Later, though, I realized something was missing. I liked the blue sky, the blossoms on the trees, the color of the font, but the feel just didn’t scream, “Pick me up!” 39(2.5分) I remember telling her that I liked the design, but something was off. Her resulting design was similar. The almond trees were still there, as was the horse and cart. The colors and font were better. It was nothing I could have described, but the new cover was breathtaking. It was even a finalist in a cover design competition.
So whether you are told to judge a book by its cover or not, I know such judging occurs. A potential reader decides whether to pick up a book or not based on the cover information. 40(2.5分)
A.So I hired a different designer to undo it.
B.But the proverb doesn’t tell the whole story.
C.In fact, many authors underestimate the cover design.
D.Therefore, it’s important to remember that the cover matters.
E.The cover is only part of the book, but it’s an important part.
F.A truly great story, however, will always succeed regardless of its cover.
G.I asked a cover designer to use an old photo as the model for the cover.
【答案】36.B 37.E 38.G 39.A 40.D
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章探讨了“不要以貌取人”这句谚语在图书领域的应用,作者通过个人经历论证了封面设计对图书的重要性,指出封面虽不是全部,但却是影响读者决策的重要部分。
【详解】36.根据上文“The English idiom “Don’t judge a book by its cover” is a metaphor. It means one should not judge the worth or value of something by its outward appearance alone. (英语习语“不要以貌取人”是一个比喻的说法。其含义是,人们不应仅仅根据事物的外表来评判其价值或意义)”可知,文章开篇引出谚语及其含义,和下文“I agree that you shouldn’t judge a book only by its cover, but please don’t ignore the cover either.(我同意不能仅仅根据封面来评判一本书,但同时也不应忽视封面的作用)”可知,作者表示部分赞同并提出转折观点,故空格处需起到承上启下的作用。B选项“But the proverb doesn’t tell the whole story.(但这个谚语并没有说明全部真相)”中的“But“形成语义转折,一方面承接了谚语本身,另一方面自然地引出了作者认为该观点不全面的论述,为下文的展开奠定了基调。故选B。
37.根据上文“The cover is the all-important first impression. Everything on that cover, front and back, is purposefully designed to persuade you to buy and read the book.(封面是至关重要的第一印象。封面的正反两面所呈现的一切,都是经过精心设计的,目的是为了说服你购买并阅读这本书)”可知,强调封面的重要性,结合下文“From the cover you learn the title and author, either of which might be enough to convince you to read it. There’s also a plot summary on the back, and maybe some reviews. The cover picture, colors, and font (字体) style all give a potential reader an idea of what the book is about.(从封面上,你可以了解到书名和作者,这两者中的任何一个都可能足以让你决定去阅读这本书。封底上还有一段简短的故事情节概述,或许还有一些书评。封面图片、颜色和字体风格都能让潜在读者对这本书的内容有个大致的了解)”可知,下文具体列举封面提供的各类信息,是对空格处观点的详细阐释和例证。E选项“封面只是书的一部分,但它是重要的一部分”精准地概括了该段的核心思想。“only part”与“important part”的转折结构,与上文“shouldn’t only… but don’t ignore…”的逻辑完美呼应,且“important part”是下文细节的总述。故选E。
38.根据下文“I wanted color rather than black and white, though. I was very happy with the result. (我想要彩色而不是黑白,并对结果很满意)”可推知,空格处需要描述一个让作者最初感到满意的、具体的封面设计决策。G选项“我要求封面设计师使用一张老照片作为封面的模型”明确交代了封面的设计灵感来源,正是这一具体行动产生了让她初期满意的“result”。选项中的“cover designer”也与本段首句“an impressive cover”形成词汇关联。故选G。
39.根据上文“Later, though, I realized something was missing. I liked the blue sky, the blossoms on the trees, the color of the font, but the feel just didn’t scream, “Pick me up!”(不过后来我意识到有些东西是缺失的。我喜欢那湛蓝的天空、树上的花朵、字体的颜色,但那种感觉就是没有那种“选我吧!”的强烈召唤力)”和下文“I remember telling her that I liked the design, but something was off. Her resulting design was similar. The almond trees were still there, as was the horse and cart. The colors and font were better. It was nothing I could have described, but the new cover was breathtaking. It was even a finalist in a cover design competition.(我记得曾跟她说过我喜欢这个设计,但总觉得有些地方不太对劲。她最终完成的设计与我之前说的差不多。那些杏树还在,还有那匹马和马车。色彩和字体都更好了。这东西我根本无法用言语形容,但这个新封面实在太出色了。它甚至在封面设计比赛中获得了决赛入围资格)”可知,在发现不满后,作者采取了行动。A选项“所以我另雇了一位设计师来修正这个问题。”准确描述了这一关键举措。下文的“her”正是指代这位“different designer”。故选A。
40.根据上文“So whether you are told to judge a book by its cover or not, I know such judging occurs. A potential reader decides whether to pick up a book or not based on the cover information.(所以,无论是否有人告诉你要“以貌取人”,我知道这种判断行为确实存在。潜在的读者会根据封面的信息来决定是否拿起一本书)”可知,这是作者在结合自身经历后得出的最终结论。空格位于篇末,需要是一个总结性的句子。D选项“因此,记住封面至关重要”中的“Therefore”是强有力的总结性信号词,“the cover matters”精准地提炼并重申了全文的中心论点,与文章开头和中间的论述形成首尾呼应,有力地升华了主题。故选D。

四、语法填空

【答案】
56.Launched 57.accessible 58.engagement 59.had hosted 60.with 61.featuring 62.that/which 63.an 64.was recognized 65.What
【导语】本文介绍了重庆开州“壹圆剧场”于2025年6月由当地政府推出,以低价票吸引观众,采用可持续模式。已举办多场演出,带动当地旅游,其模式获认可,民众支持让努力有价值。
【详解】56.考查非谓语动词。句意:该项目由当地政府于2025年6月推出,提供仅需一元的演出门票,使艺术对所有人开放,并促进当地旅游和社区参与。句中offers为谓语动词,launch在句中应用非谓语动词形式,与逻辑主语this initiative构成被动关系,用过去分词launched作状语,设空处置于句首,开头单词首字母需大写。
57.考查形容词。句意同上。此处作宾语补足语,修饰名词art,表示“可获得的、可接近的”,应用access的形容词形式accessible,构成make sth. accessible结构。
58.考查名词。句意同上。and连接并列成分,与tourism并列作boosting的宾语,应用engage的名词形式engagement,表示“参与、互动”,community engagement为常见搭配,意为“社区参与”。
59.考查动词时态。句意:截至6月底,该剧院已举办147场演出,吸引18万名观众,并获得超过600万线上粉丝。此处时间状语By the end of June指2025年6月底,为过去的时间点,需与过去完成时连用,表示在该时间之前已完成的动作,过去完成时构成为had done,host的过去分词为hosted。
60.考查介词。句意:6月30日晚,开州剧院以一场两小时的年度晚会吸引了观众,节目包括丰富多彩的戏剧表演、传统重庆相声、川剧、歌舞等。fascinate sb. with sth.为固定搭配,意为“以某物使某人着迷”,所以此处使用介词with。
61.考查非谓语动词。句意同上。句中fascinated为谓语动词,feature在句中应用非谓语动词形式,与逻辑主语gala构成主动关系,表示“包含、以……为特色”,所以用现在分词featuring作后置定语。
62.考查定语从句。句意:如今,剧院采用了一种可持续的模式,该模式结合了商业赞助、相关文创产品销售以及广告位出租。此处引导定语从句,先行词为a sustainable model,指物,在从句中作主语,可用关系代词that或which引导定语从句。
63.考查冠词。句意:数据显示,汉丰湖旅游区游客数量增长了85%,为该区域贡献了29.3亿元(约合4.31亿美元)的收入。increase为可数名词,此处表示“一个85%的增长”,85以元音音素开头,应用不定冠词an。
64.考查动词时态和语态。句意:该剧院在公共文化服务方面的创新做法于2025年被认定为重庆基层改革的典范。主语The theater’s innovative approach与recognize之间为被动关系,且时间状语in 2025表明动作发生在过去,所以用一般过去时的被动语态,主语为第三人称单数,所以谓语动词为was recognized。
65.考查主语从句。句意:“让所有努力都值得的是参与者和观众的热情支持,”一位爱好者说道。空格引导主语从句,在从句中作主语,表示“……的事物”,应用连接代词what,开头单词首字母需大写。

六、书面表达
67.(本题25分)阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Mr. Smith’s poetry competition was the highlight of the school year. For weeks, the students worked hard on their poems. The classroom was full of whispers and crossed-out lines as students worked hard to create something meaningful. It was all about expressing real feelings, but there was one person who wasn’t quite on the same page — Janet.
Janet was not into poetry. She liked things that made sense, like math problems or coding. In those subjects, she followed a clear path and arrived at an answer. But poetry? It seemed confusing, full of feelings and abstract (抽象的) ideas. Janet didn’t understand how words could be so powerful even when they didn’t seem to make sense.
The night before the competition, Janet’s paper was still blank, and she had no idea what to write. Feeling hopeless, she turned to an AI writer for help. With a few clicks, a perfect poem appeared on her screen. It had beautiful words and flowing lines, far better than anything she could have written. Janet felt guilty (愧疚的), but she copied the poem, put her name at the top and printed it out.
The next day in class, students took turns reading their poems. Some were nervous, their voices shaking, while others read with more confidence. Their poems might not have been perfect, but they were honest. Then Janet stood up. Her voice was shaky too, but for a different reason. Her poem was perfect, as though it had come from a book of poetry. When she finished, the room was silent for a moment, then everyone clapped. They were impressed by how beautiful her poem was. But Mr. Smith didn’t clap. He just looked at Janet with a quiet, thoughtful expression. After class, he asked her to stay. Janet had butterflies in her stomach.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“This poem is perfect, but it doesn’t sound like you,” Mr. Smith said softly.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After the conversation, Janet made up her mind to create her own work.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】例文
“This poem is perfect, but it doesn’t sound like you,” Mr. Smith said softly. Janet’s heart skipped a beat. She felt a wave of guilt rush over her. She had hoped the AI-written poem would go unnoticed, but Mr. Smith figured it out. He pointed to a particular line and explained, “This line sounds too perfect, like it came from a machine.” Janet’s cheeks turned red, and she looked down at her feet, but Mr. Smith wasn’t angry. He just gave her an encouraging smile. “What I want to hear is your voice, Janet. That’s what makes poetry special.”
After the conversation, Janet made up her mind to create her own work. Instead of trying to force the perfect lines, she decided to write about something she truly cared for — her love for solving problems and coding. She thought about the sense of satisfaction she felt when she solved a tough puzzle or fixed a bug in her program. Slowly, words started to flow. They weren’t perfect, but real and they came from her. When she finished, Mr. Smith smiled and clapped. “Now, that’s you, Janet,” he said. Janet felt proud, knowing that she had found her own voice.
【导语】本文讲述了史密斯老师举办诗歌比赛,同学们都认真创作。珍妮特不擅长诗歌,偏爱逻辑清晰的数学和编程。比赛前夜她毫无头绪,便借助 AI 生成一首优美的诗歌并署上自己名字。课堂朗读时,惊艳全场,但史密斯老师察觉出诗作并非出自她手。老师没有发怒,而是鼓励她写出属于自己的心声。之后珍妮特结合自己热爱编程、解题的真实感受创作诗歌,终于写出真实动人的作品,找到了属于自己的表达。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容可知,第一段可描写珍妮特被老师点破诗作并非原创后愧疚认错,老师对她进行鼓励,引导她明白诗歌重在表达个人真实心声。
②由第二段首句内容可知,第二段可描写珍妮特结合自身热爱的编程、解题的真实感受创作诗歌,完成后得到老师肯定,领悟到真情实感的重要性。
2.续写线索:AI作弊→被老师发现→老师开导→决心重写→结合爱好创作→朗读原创诗歌→获得认可→感悟诗歌贵在真情
3.词汇激活
行为类
①尝试:try/attempt
②解释:explain/illustrate
情绪类
①满足:satisfaction/content
②热爱:love/affection
【点睛】[高分句型1] Janet felt proud, knowing that she had found her own voice.(运用了现在分词作状语,that引导宾语从句)
[高分句型2] When she finished, Mr. Smith smiled and clapped.(运用了when引导时间状语从句)
