The China-Laos Railway is a landmark project of high-quality Belt and Road cooperation. It began operations in December 2021 and started cross-border passenger service two years later. The railway connects Yunnan’s capital Kunming with Vientiane. “It takes only about five hours by train to get from Pu’er to Vientiane, and the railway station is close to the university,” said Khounsavath. 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A Here are some museums in honor of famous writers you can visit. The Shakespeare Birthplace Trust William Shakespeare, perhaps the greatest playwright in English literature, is celebrated at the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust. You can visit his childhood home, explore exhibits about his life and works, and experience live performances in the Royal Shakespeare Theatre. You can also visit Anne Hathaway’s house, where Shakespeare courted her. Location: Stratford-upon-Avon, England Reading suggestion: Macbeth The Louisa May Alcott’s Orchard House Discover the literary legacy (遗产) of Louisa May Alcott, author of Little Women, at her former home, Orchard House. Explore the rooms where Alcott penned her famous novel and learn about the inspirations behind her beloved characters. There have been no major changes to the house, so the rooms look much the same. Location: Concord, the US Reading suggestion: Little Women The Hans Christian Andersen Museum Enjoy the fairy tales that have attracted generations at the Hans Christian Andersen Museum. Explore the life and imagination of the Danish author behind his short stories like The Little Mermaid. From the moment you step into the building, the exhibition takes you deeper into Andersen’s fairy tales. Location: Odense, Denmark Suggested reading: The Little Mermaid The Pablo Neruda House Bury yourself in the poetry of Pablo Neruda, the Chilean poet. The Pablo Neruda House showcases his collection of art, poetry, and personal artifacts, offering a poetic journey through his life and creative expressions.

A．It is totally the same as it was before B．It lies in Santiago, Chile C．It was built for famous playwrights D．It has the largest art collection in the US 【答案】21．D 22．B 23．A 【导语】本文介绍了四座纪念知名作家的特色博物馆，分别介绍场馆位置、参观内容与对应代表作品。 【详解】21．细节理解题。根据The Shakespeare Birthplace Trust部分“Location: Stratford-upon-Avon, England (地址：英国埃文河畔斯特拉特福)”可知，莎士比亚出生地博物馆位于英国。 22．细节理解题。根据The Louisa May Alcott’s Orchard House部分“author of Little Women (《小妇人》的作者)”与“Reading suggestion: Little Women (推荐读物：《小妇人》)”可知，《小妇人》和Louisa May Alcott相关。 23．细节理解题。根据The Louisa May Alcott’s Orchard House部分“There have been no major changes to the house, so the rooms look much the same. (这栋房子没有经过大规模改造，房间和从前几乎一模一样)”可知，Orchard House的特别之处在于它和过去几乎完全相同。 B “When you heat iron to a certain point, it moves like water,” says Tom Joyce, whose 45-year career could be seen to last several lifetimes. When he speaks of iron, you can hear the respect in the voice of this soft-spoken artist. He uses every tool available — from basic sketchbooks to CT scanning and 3-D printing — to reveal the metal’s rare character. Joyce was born in Oklahoma, where his parents taught him that every part contains a clue to the whole, whether that’s a color, shape, or handicraft of civilization. Joyce found his medium when family affairs took him to El Rito, New Mexico. A third grade teacher there changed the course of his life when she allowed him into the studio one day after school, gave him a piece of clay, and let his hands do the talking. At 13, Joyce wandered into the workshops of Peter Wells, who was restoring historic printing equipment for the Museum of New Mexico. Wells decided to give the earnest kid a try. After watching Joyce work for several days, Wells, one day, handed Joyce the shop keys and left. In the end, Joyce landed a summer job there. From then on, Joyce decided to work full time and struck a deal with the Museum of New Mexico to let him spend hours in their basement with objects that he refers to as “teachers”. He learned techniques by tracking the marks made by smiths and built a collection of potential design solutions. In his early 20s, Joyce moved to Santa Fe and opened his own shop. Graduating to more demanding custom architectural metal work, he continued to seek out teachers. For the past decade, Joyce has taken his work to an industrial scale through a rare relationship with a large factory outside of Chicago. As for what’s to come, whether it’s new collaborations with industries or different tools in his hands, Joyce will continue to track, with keen precision, the character of iron. 24．What can we infer about Tom Joyce’s artistic approach? A．A rejection of modern machines. B．A complete reliance on computers. C．A combination of tradition and technology. D．A focus on chemical changes. 25．What is the second paragraph mainly about? A．The early inspirations for his artistic journey. B．The influence of his parents’ life philosophy. C．The process of finding his working medium. D．The influence of his teacher’s trust. 26．What drove Joyce’s growth from a teenager to a shop owner? A．His continuous pursuit of the craft. B．His desire for great wealth. C．Financial support from museums. D．Growing demand for metal works. 27．What can we learn from Tom Joyce’s story? A．Well begun is half done. B．Experience is the best teacher. C．Opportunity knocks only once. D．Strike while the iron is hot. 【答案】24．C 25．A 26．A 27．B 【导语】这篇文章主要讲述了铁艺艺术家汤姆·乔伊斯的成长与创作之路。他年少受启发入行，不断向传统工艺学习，结合现代科技打磨技艺，多年深耕铁艺艺术并持续探索创新。 【详解】24．推理判断题。根据第一段““When you heat iron to a certain point, it moves like water,” says Tom Joyce, whose 45-year career could be seen to last several lifetimes. When he speaks of iron, you can hear the respect in the voice of this soft-spoken artist. He uses every tool available — from basic sketchbooks to CT scanning and 3-D printing — to reveal the metal’s rare character.( “当你把铁加热到某个温度时，它就像水一样流动。”汤姆·乔伊斯说道。他45年的职业生涯内容极为丰富，抵得上常人好几辈子的经历。当他谈起铁时，这位说话柔声细语的艺术家声音中流露出深深的敬意。他运用各种工具——从简单的素描本到CT扫描和3D打印——来展现这种金属独特的特质。)”可知，汤姆・乔伊斯会运用从基础速写本到 CT 扫描、3D 打印的各类工具展现金属的独特特质；后文也提到他钻研传统铁匠技艺、梳理古法工艺。由此可见，他的创作路径是传统工艺与现代技术相结合。 25．主旨大意题。根据第二段“Joyce was born in Oklahoma, where his parents taught him that every part contains a clue to the whole, whether that’s a color, shape, or handicraft of civilization. Joyce found his medium when family affairs took him to El Rito, New Mexico. A third grade teacher there changed the course of his life when she allowed him into the studio one day after school, gave him a piece of clay, and let his hands do the talking.( 乔伊斯出生于俄克拉荷马州，父母在那里教他：每一个部件都蕴含着整体的线索，无论是颜色、形状，还是文明的手工艺。乔伊斯在家庭事务带他前往新墨西哥州埃尔里托时，找到了自己的创作媒介。在那里，一位三年级教师改变了他的人生轨迹——某天放学后，她允许他进入工作室，给了他一块黏土，让他的双手去表达一切。)”可知，第二段主要讲的是乔伊斯艺术旅程的早期灵感来源。 26．细节理解题。根据第三段“At 13, Joyce wandered into the workshops of Peter Wells, who was restoring historic printing equipment for the Museum of New Mexico. Wells decided to give the earnest kid a try. After watching Joyce work for several days, Wells, one day, handed Joyce the shop keys and left. In the end, Joyce landed a summer job there.( 13岁时，乔伊斯偶然走进了彼得·威尔斯的工作室。当时，威尔斯正在为新墨西哥博物馆修复历史印刷设备。威尔斯决定给这个认真努力的孩子一个机会。在观察乔伊斯工作数日之后，有一天，威尔斯将工作室的钥匙交给了他，便离开了。最终，乔伊斯在那里找到了一份暑期工作。)”以及第四段中“In his early 20s, Joyce moved to Santa Fe and opened his own shop. Graduating to more demanding custom architectural metal work, he continued to seek out teachers.( 二十出头时，乔伊斯搬到了圣菲，开设了自己的工作室。随着他逐步承接难度更高的定制建筑金属加工工作，他继续寻找那些能指导他的“老师”。)”可知，乔伊斯从 13岁进入工坊当学徒，到主动在博物馆地下室钻研古法铁艺、积累设计方案，再到20多岁开设个人工作室，推动他持续成长的核心动力是对铁艺工艺的不懈钻研与追求。 27．推理判断题。根据文章大意以及第四段中“From then on, Joyce decided to work full time and struck a deal with the Museum of New Mexico to let him spend hours in their basement with objects that he refers to as “teachers”.( 从那时起，乔伊斯决定全职工作，并与新墨西哥博物馆达成协议，获准在他们的地下室里花费数小时，与他称之为“老师”的物件为伴。)”可知，文中提到乔伊斯将博物馆的老物件称作“老师”，通过追踪前人留下的工艺痕迹学习技法，在长期实践中积累经验、打磨技艺，最终形成个人风格。这一成长历程正印证了“经验是最好的老师”的道理。 C A corn plant knows how to find water in soil with the very tips of its roots, but some varieties appear to have lost some of that ability, according to a Stanford-led study. With climate change intensifying droughts, the findings are vital for developing corn varieties with stronger adaptability. An essay, published in the journal Science, notes how plant roots branch toward water and avoid dry spaces in soil. “Plants are wise in the way they ‘see’ where water is in soil, and the genes (基因) that are responsible for that play an important role in helping the plant create a root system that is enhanced for efficient water uptake,” said Jose Dinneny, the study’s senior author and a professor of biology in Stanford’s School of Humanities and Sciences. The Dinneny lab had previously revealed the fine sensitivity of corn roots for spotting water, and further studies showed that this sensitivity heavily depended on the specific variety of corn. For this study, the researchers developed a new, simplified way to study water sensitivity in roots, making it possible to analyze the responses of 250 corn varieties that reflect the genetic pool present in modern corn reproducing. They discovered that corn varieties adapting to grow in tropical (热带的) or subtropical areas like Mexico were very good at making new root branches toward water and avoiding dry areas. In contrast, the varieties adapting to temperate (温带的) regions of North America frequently grew roots in many directions without distinguishing between dry and wet areas in the soil. This work was made possible through an international cooperation of several research groups. “Researchers need to better understand the interaction of these genetic pathways before corn varieties can be developed with more drought-adaptive root systems, but the findings highlight the importance of studying these localized responses at root tips”, said lead author Johannes Scharwies, a postdoctoral scholar in Dinneny’s lab. 28．Which of the following drives the research on more adaptable corns? A．Worsened soils. B．More severe droughts. C．Poorer water quality. D．Greater demand for corn. 29．What does paragraph 2 focus on about the research? A．Its procedure. B．Its significance. C．Its theoretical basis. D．Its practical value. 30．What can be inferred about corn varieties from temperate regions? A．They exhibit stronger drought resistance. B．They tend to grow roots deeper into the soil. C．They are genetically superior in water absorption. D．They are less efficient in adapting to water distribution. 31．What is the suitable title for the text? A．Farm Innovation: Corn Grown in Localized Soil B．Genetic Differences in Corn Varieties’ Root Growth C．Corn Roots: Adaptability and Genetic Insights in Drought D．New Methods in Researching Corn Root Water-Sensitivity 【答案】28．B 29．C 30．D 31．C 【导语】文章主要介绍研究发现不同玉米品种根系寻水能力存在基因差异，该研究助力培育耐旱玉米品种。 【详解】28．细节理解题。根据第一段中“With climate change intensifying droughts, the findings are vital for developing corn varieties with stronger adaptability. (随着气候变化加剧干旱，这些研究结果对于培育适应性更强的玉米品种至关重要。)”可知，日益严重的干旱推动了适应性更强的玉米相关研究。 29．主旨大意题。根据第二段“An essay, published in the journal Science, notes how plant roots branch toward water and avoid dry spaces in soil. “Plants are wise in the way they ‘see’ where water is in soil, and the genes (基因) that are responsible for that play an important role in helping the plant create a root system that is enhanced for efficient water uptake,” said Jose Dinneny, the study’s senior author and a professor of biology in Stanford’s School of Humanities and Sciences. (发表在《科学》期刊上的一篇论文阐释了植物根系如何朝着水源方向分支生长，并避开土壤中的干燥区域。该研究资深作者、斯坦福大学人文与科学学院生物学教授Jose Dinneny说道：“植物很聪明，它们能够‘感知’土壤中水的位置。调控这一能力的基因十分重要，可以帮助植物发育出根系，提升吸水效率。”)”可知，本段阐述植物根系寻水的原理以及相关基因的作用，也就是本次研究的理论依据。 30．推理判断题。根据第四段“For this study, the researchers developed a new, simplified way to study water sensitivity in roots, making it possible to analyze the responses of 250 corn varieties that reflect the genetic pool present in modern corn reproducing. They discovered that corn varieties adapting to grow in tropical (热带的) or subtropical areas like Mexico were very good at making new root branches toward water and avoiding dry areas. In contrast, the varieties adapting to temperate (温带的) regions of North America frequently grew roots in many directions without distinguishing between dry and wet areas in the soil. (在本次研究中，研究人员研发出一套简便的全新方法研究根系对水分的敏感度，得以分析250个玉米品种的反应，这些品种涵盖现代玉米育种所拥有的基因库。研究人员发现，适应墨西哥等热带、亚热带地区生长的玉米品种，很擅长朝着水源长出新根须，避开干旱区域。与之相反，适应北美温带地区的玉米品种，根系常常向四面八方生长，无法区分土壤的干燥区域与湿润区域。)”可推知，它们适应水分分布的效率更低。 31．主旨大意题。文章围绕玉米根系、干旱环境适应性展开，介绍相关研究及背后的基因原理。C选项《玉米根系：干旱环境下的适应性与基因研究》可以概括全文。 D In a crowded subway, Alaina Demopoulos was immersed in her book when a passenger’s ironic comment broke her concentration,“I wish I had your confidence doing this in public.” While Demopoulos’s engagement was genuine, the comment highlighted a widespread trend: performative reading — acts of public reading motivated not by simple personal enjoyment, but by a desire for intentional social display. “You can still observe people reading physical books on subway,” says Emily Foster, a cultural analyst at the Urban Communication Institute.“But our recent study shows that 68% of commuters(通勤者) choose to read in part for how it might be seen by others.” This behavior, she explains, is driven by the influence of social media, which encourages individuals to increasingly curate their personal image in every public place. In this trend, a book, traditionally a source of knowledge, becomes a carefully picked fashion item, allowing readers to silently present their interests and cultural preferences,even though the primary motivation may often be an urge to appear smart and cultured. However, this public performance of reading still generates measurable social benefits.“Simply seeing people engage with serious books in public makes reading seem more common and accepted,”noted Foster, who views this return of print books to public spaces as a positive development. This increased visibility not only promotes conversations about literature but also leads to more book recommendations among commuters, creating informal learning opportunities and finally fostering a broader cultural appreciation for reading throughout the community. Last month, a non-profit organization placed public service advertisements in over 20 subway stations, aiming to inspire passengers to“Dive into a Book”. For those inspired to begin their own public reading journey, the key is simply to focus on personal growth rather than public performance. By choosing material they genuinely enjoy, readers can find a balance between personal satisfaction and the identity they wish to show. 32．When does a person engage in performative reading? A．When reading for personal enjoyment. B．When aiming to impress others publicly. C．When choosing to read during travel time. D．When showing genuine engagement in reading. 33．Which word can best replace the underlined word“curate” in Paragraph 2? A．Shape. B．Mask. C．Simplify. D．Monitor. 34．How does Emily Foster view the public reading trend? A．She sees it as a problematic act in public. B．She recognizes its valuable social impact. C．She stresses personal reading satisfaction. D．She views it as a sign of spreading personal image 35．What does the author suggest readers do in the last paragraph? A．Choose books according to their popularity. B．Put inner fulfillment before social impression. C．Balance personal growth with public performance. D．Read books recommended by non-profit organizations. 【答案】32．B 33．A 34．B 35．B 【导语】这篇文章主要探讨了“表演式阅读”现象，不少人当众读书只为塑造文雅形象，但此举有积极社会价值，作者建议阅读应重在自我提升而非刻意展示。 【详解】32．细节理解题。根据第一段中“While Demopoulos’s engagement was genuine, the comment highlighted a widespread trend: performative reading——acts of public reading motivated not by simple personal enjoyment, but by a desire for intentional social display.( 尽管德莫普洛斯的阅读态度是真诚的，但这句话揭示了一个普遍现象：表演式阅读——即并非出于单纯的个人乐趣，而是为了刻意展示社交形象而进行的公开阅读行为。)”可知，“表演式阅读”的核心动机不是单纯的个人享受，而是刻意进行社交展示，即希望在公众面前给他人留下印象、塑造自身形象。 33．词句猜测题。根据划线单词句中“This behavior, she explains, is driven by the influence of social media, which encourages individuals to increasingly .. their personal image in every public place.( 她解释说，这种行为是由社交媒体的影响所驱动的，社交媒体鼓励人们越来越多地在每个公共场所……自己的个人形象。)”可知，curate 本义为“精心策划、打理”，句中搭配“个人形象”，表示人们在社交媒体影响下，会在公共场合精心塑造自己的对外形象。A选项shape意为“塑造、打造”，语义最贴合。 34．推理判断题。根据第三段中“However, this public performance of reading still generates measurable social benefits. Simply seeing people engage with serious books in public makes reading seem more common and accepted,” noted Foster, who views this return of print books to public spaces as a positive development.( 然而，这种公开的阅读表演仍带来了可观的社会效益。“仅仅看到人们在公共场所阅读严肃书籍，就让阅读显得更加普遍和被接受。”福斯特指出，她认为纸质书籍重新回归公共空间是一种积极的发展。)”可知，艾米丽·福斯特认为这种公共阅读趋势能带来显著社会效益：让阅读更普遍、更易被接受，促进文学交流与书籍推荐，最终培养社群的阅读文化。可见她认可这一趋势具备积极的社会价值。 35．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“For those inspired to begin their own public reading journey, the key is simply to focus on personal growth rather than public performance. By choosing material they genuinely enjoy, readers can find a balance between personal satisfaction and the identity they wish to show.( 对于那些希望开启公开阅读之旅的人而言，关键在于专注于个人成长，而非公众表现。通过选择真正喜爱的内容，读者能够在个人满足感与展示自我身份之间找到平衡。)”可知，作者在最后一段给出核心建议：公共阅读的关键是专注个人成长，而非公开表演；选择自己真正喜爱的读物，在此基础上实现个人满足与形象展示的平衡，本质是将内在满足放在社交印象之前。 第二节（共5小题：每小题2. 5分, 满分12. 5分） 阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The Benefits of Reading for Teenagers In an age filled with digital distractions, it is difficult for people to read a book. 36 Regular reading shapes teenagers into more thoughtful, empathetic, and positive individuals. Reading improves teenagers’ academic performance and thinking abilities. When teenagers read widely, they expand their vocabulary, improve their language expression, and strengthen their logical thinking. 37 These benefits not only boost their grades in subjects like Chinese and English, but also develop their ability to analyze and solve problems. Reading develops teenagers’ emotional intelligence and empathy. Teenage years are a critical period for emotional growth, and books serve as windows to different lives and feelings. 38 Through following characters’ experiences, teenagers learn to recognize and understand various emotions. This helps them better handle their own feelings and relate to others. 39 Many books for teenagers convey themes of courage, kindness, determination, and responsibility. They learn from characters’ experiences and apply these lessons to their own lives. Reading also introduces them to diverse life choices, helping them clarify their own ambitions and develop a positive life attitude.

G．Developing a reading habit from a young age can benefit teenagers for a lifetime. 【答案】36．B 37．E 38．A 39．C 40．G 【导语】文章主要阐述了阅读对青少年学业提升、情商培养及价值观塑造的多重益处，倡导养成良好阅读习惯。 【详解】36．上文“In an age filled with digital distractions, it is difficult for people to read a book.(在一个充满数字干扰的时代，人们很难静下心来读一本书)”指出了当下阅读的困境；下文“Regular reading shapes teenagers into more thoughtful, empathetic, and positive individuals.(经常阅读能把青少年塑造成更深思熟虑、更有同理心和更积极的人)”转而强调阅读的积极意义。空处与上文构成转折关系，引出阅读的好处。所以B项“然而，阅读对青少年有许多积极影响。”符合语境。 37．上文“When teenagers read widely, they expand their vocabulary, improve their language expression, and strengthen their logical thinking.(当青少年广泛阅读时，他们会扩大词汇量，提高语言表达能力，加强逻辑思维)”列举了阅读带来的多种具体技能；下文“These benefits not only boost their grades in subjects like Chinese and English, but also develop their ability to analyze and solve problems.(这些好处不仅提高了他们在中文和英文等科目的成绩，还培养了他们分析和解决问题的能力)”中的“These benefits”指代空处内容。空处和前文为顺接关系，对前文提到的各项能力做总结延伸。所以E项“这些技能对他们的学业成功和终身学习至关重要。”符合语境。E项中的“These skills”与上文的“vocabulary, language expression, logical thinking”相呼应。 38．上文“Teenage years are a critical period for emotional growth, and books serve as windows to different lives and feelings.(青少年时期是情感成长的关键时期，书籍是不同生活和感受的窗口)”指出书籍能让青少年接触不同的情感；下文“Through following characters’ experiences, teenagers learn to recognize and understand various emotions.(通过了解书中角色的经历，青少年学会了识别和理解各种情绪)”具体描述了这一过程。空处和前文为顺接关系，承接读书带来的共情能力提升。所以A项“这种体验让他们能够设身处地为他人着想。”符合语境。A项中的“This experience”承接上文，“step into others’ shoes”对应下文的“recognize and understand various emotions”。 39．下文“Many books for teenagers convey themes of courage, kindness, determination, and responsibility. They learn from characters’ experiences and apply these lessons to their own lives. Reading also introduces them to diverse life choices, helping them clarify their own ambitions and develop a positive life attitude.(许多青少年书籍传达了勇气、善良、决心和责任的主题。他们从角色的经历中学习，并将这些经验应用到自己的生活中。阅读还向他们介绍了多样化的生活选择，帮助他们明确自己的抱负，培养积极的生活态度)”主要讨论了阅读对青少年价值观和人生观的影响。空处为本段主题句，总结本段核心内容。所以C项“阅读引导青少年树立积极的价值观和人生观。”概括了本段主旨。 40．上文“In summary, reading offers countless benefits to teenagers — improving academic skills, cultivating empathy, and shaping positive values.(总之，阅读为青少年提供了无数的好处——提高学术技能，培养同理心，塑造积极的价值观)”对全文进行了总结。空处位于文章末尾，应起到总结升华或发出倡议的作用。所以G项“从小养成阅读习惯将使青少年受益终生。”符合语境。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Mr. Vedder has impacted my life in ways even I cannot imagine.

In some understandings, Prometheus, 57 took fire away from the gods, clearly shows the deep conflicts between new 58 (arrive) and local people. Later, writers like Percy Shelley (1792-1822) rewrote him as a 59 (fear) hero who went against rulers. This figure touched Chinese thinkers in the early 1900s. They used Prometheus to stand for brave revolutionaries 60 (bring) Marxism into China. “Prometheus remains 61 (wide) known because generation after generation has continued to tell his story. People have interpreted 62 shared it in different ways.” says Huang Yue, a professor of comparative mythology at Beijing University. Traditionally 63 (define) as the study, translation and interpretation of ancient Greek and Roman texts, classical studies 64 (become) active again in recent years, especially after the World Conference of Classics held in Beijing in 2024. The event brought together more than 400 scholars from over 30 countries and regions 65 (discuss) the contemporary relevance and global significance of classical studies. 【答案】 56．the 57．who 58．arrivals 59．fearless 60．bringing 61．widely 62．and 63．defined 64．have become 65．to discuss 【导语】这篇文章主要介绍了普罗米修斯的故事历经不断重新解读。正如黄悦所说，经典作品持续吸引人。近些年古典研究再度兴起，各国学者汇聚探讨其当代价值。 【详解】56．考查冠词。句意：普罗米修斯的故事历经数个世纪的重述，已从一场权力斗争演变为革命与新思想传播的象征。此处特指“普罗米修斯的故事”，后有of Prometheus作限定修饰，表特指用定冠词the。 57．考查定语从句。句意：在某些解读中，普罗米修斯夺走神火的行为，清晰地展现了外来者与本地居民之间的深刻矛盾。分析句子可知，设空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是 Prometheus，从句中缺少主语，非限制性定语从句指人作主语用关系代词who，不可用that。 58．考查名词。句意：在某些解读中，普罗米修斯夺走神火的行为，清晰地展现了外来者与本地居民之间的深刻矛盾。形容词 new后接名词，与后文local people对应，表“新来者”；arrive的名词形式为 arrival，此处表一类人，用复数arrivals。 59．考查形容词。句意：后来，珀西·雪莱（1792–1822）等作家将他重新塑造为一位反抗统治者的无畏英雄。修饰名词hero需用形容词；结合后文“反抗统治者”的语境，此处表示 “无畏的英雄”，将名词fear变为形容词 fearless（无畏的）。 60．考查非谓语动词。句意：他们用普罗米修斯来代表把马克思主义带到中国的勇敢的革命者。句中已有谓语stand for，此处作后置定语修饰revolutionaries；革命者与 “传播马克思主义”是主动关系，用现在分词bringing。 61．考查副词。句意：普罗米修斯之所以至今仍广为人知，是因为代代相传不断讲述他的故事。修饰形容词known需用副词；wide 的副词形式为widely，widely known表示“广为人知的”。 62．考查连词。句意：北京大学比较神话学教授黄悦表示：“人们以各式各样的方式解读并传播这个故事。”分析句子可知，interpreted（解读）与 shared（传播）是两个并列的谓语动词，动作顺承，用并列连词and连接。 63．考查非谓语动词。句意：传统上，古典研究被定义为对古希腊和罗马文献的研究、翻译与阐释。近年来，尤其是2024年在北京举行的“世界古典学大会”之后，古典研究再度活跃起来。分析句子可知，此处为非谓语动词作状语，句子主语 classical studies，与define（定义）是被动关系，即“被定义为”，用过去分词作状语，构成defined as...结构。 64．考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：传统上，古典研究被定义为对古希腊和罗马文献的研究、翻译与阐释。近年来，尤其是2024年在北京举行的“世界古典学大会”之后，古典研究再度活跃起来。时间标志in recent years（近年来）是现在完成时的典型标志；主语classical studies为复数，所以为have become的填入。 65．考查动词不定式。句意：此次活动汇集了来自30多个国家和地区的400多位学者，讨论古典研究的当代相关性和全球意义。根据句意可知，学者齐聚一堂的目的是“讨论古典研究的当代价值”，表目的用不定式to discuss作目的状语。 第四部分 写作（共两节, 满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 66．假定你是李华，你校英语报计划组织一场以“The Joy of Reading”为主题的演讲比赛，请你写一篇演讲稿参赛。 内容包括： 1. 阅读的重要性； 2. 个人经历； 3. 发出倡议。 注意： 1. 写作词数应为80词左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The Joy of Reading Good morning, everyone.

Interestingly, this lifetime passion was awakened by a casual contest when I was a child. At a family picnic for employees of the company where my father worked, they held contests for the children. I was 13, full of enthusiasm and the spirit of competition, so I launched myself into the contests. The grand final, the handkerchief-throwing contest, I realize now, was not meant to demonstrate any real skill, but simply for laughs. But it stirred my love of thinking outside the box. The host gave each of the dozen children a cloth handkerchief and told us the winner would be the one who threw it the farthest. The first throwers, the little ones, took mighty wind-ups, but when the cloth left their hands, it opened and flew to the ground a few inches in front of them. The next kids threw harder and harder, but with no better results. The older the children, the more the crowd laughed at the poor results. It was obvious that using the same technique would not work. “Think out of the box!” I said to myself. Suppose I tied a rock inside the handkerchief? No, it was “throw a handkerchief,” not a rock  and a handkerchief. When they inspected it, I’d be disqualified. The secret was not to throw harder but to keep the cloth from opening. I had to make the handkerchief fly like a rock. Like a rock! That was it! I began tying the handkerchief around itself to make it small and hard, like a rock. When I approached the line, people were laughing already, anticipating a tall, big boy like me throwing it a few inches. I took a long wind-up, and the balled handkerchief rocketed off into the trees maybe 60 feet away. 注意： (1) 续写词数应为150左右。 (2) 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: “That’s not fair,” a man said. “It’s cheating.”   _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Inspired, the rest kids started to explore other ways to throw farther.   _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】    Paragraph 1: “That’s not fair,” a man said. “It’s cheating.” Murmurs of agreement rippled through the crowd. My face burned with embarrassment — had I really broken the rules? But the host stepped forward and picked up my handkerchief. He examined it carefully, then turned to the audience. “The rule said ‘throw a handkerchief,’” he announced. “It didn’t say you couldn’t fold it. This young man used his brain. That’s not cheating — that’s creativity!” A round of applause replaced the complaints. That moment taught me a lesson: constraints are not walls, but invitations to think differently.     Paragraph 2: Inspired, the rest kids started to explore other ways to throw farther. One girl tied her handkerchief to a small stick and flung it like a spear. Another boy wet his handkerchief and twisted it into a tight rope, sending it spinning through the air like a propeller. Each child experimented with wild, imaginative methods. Even the little ones, who had failed earlier, now ran back to the line with newfound determination. That day, a simple contest transformed into a celebration of ingenuity. And for me, it ignited a lifelong passion for creative thinking. 【导语】本文以童年野餐会上的一场手帕投掷比赛为线索展开，讲述了作者13岁时参加父亲公司家庭野餐会上的手帕投掷比赛，面对“手帕难以扔远”的困境，他没有像其他孩子一样用蛮力硬扔，而是跳出思维定势，将手帕折叠成球状，使其像石头一样飞出很远，其创造性做法获得主持人认可，由此激发了对创造性思维的终身热爱。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，本段可描写有人质疑作者作弊，引发人群骚动，作者感到尴尬不安，但主持人出面解围，肯定作者的创造性思维，人群由抱怨转为鼓掌，作者内心涌起自豪感并领悟到“约束是邀请我们换个角度思考”的人生道理。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，本段可描写其他孩子受到启发后纷纷尝试各种富有想象力的投掷方法（如绑在木棍上、拧成绳状旋转飞出等），比赛变成一场创意庆典，甚至之前失败的小孩子也重拾信心，最后点明这次经历点燃了作者对创造性思维的终身热情，升华主题。 2. 续写线索：质疑作弊——尴尬不安——主持解围——掌声雷动——深受启发——创意庆典——终身热爱 3. 词汇激活 行为类： ①检查：examine/inspect ②拧：twist/wring ③旋转：spin/rotate 情绪类： ①尴尬：embarrassment/awkwardness ②决心：determination/resolution 【点睛】【高分句型1】Another boy wet his handkerchief and twisted it into a tight rope, sending it spinning through the air like a propeller.

When he speaks of iron, you can hear the respect in the voice of this soft-spoken artist. He uses every tool available — from basic sketchbooks to CT scanning and 3-D printing — to reveal the metal’s rare character. Joyce was born in Oklahoma, where his parents taught him that every part contains a clue to the whole, whether that’s a color, shape, or handicraft of civilization. Joyce found his medium when family affairs took him to El Rito, New Mexico. A third grade teacher there changed the course of his life when she allowed him into the studio one day after school, gave him a piece of clay, and let his hands do the talking. At 13, Joyce wandered into the workshops of Peter Wells, who was restoring historic printing equipment for the Museum of New Mexico. Wells decided to give the earnest kid a try. After watching Joyce work for several days, Wells, one day, handed Joyce the shop keys and left. In the end, Joyce landed a summer job there. From then on, Joyce decided to work full time and struck a deal with the Museum of New Mexico to let him spend hours in their basement with objects that he refers to as “teachers”. He learned techniques by tracking the marks made by smiths and built a collection of potential design solutions. In his early 20s, Joyce moved to Santa Fe and opened his own shop. Graduating to more demanding custom architectural metal work, he continued to seek out teachers. For the past decade, Joyce has taken his work to an industrial scale through a rare relationship with a large factory outside of Chicago. As for what’s to come, whether it’s new collaborations with industries or different tools in his hands, Joyce will continue to track, with keen precision, the character of iron. 24．What can we infer about Tom Joyce’s artistic approach? A．A rejection of modern machines. B．A complete reliance on computers. C．A combination of tradition and technology. D．A focus on chemical changes. 25．What is the second paragraph mainly about? A．The early inspirations for his artistic journey. B．The influence of his parents’ life philosophy. C．The process of finding his working medium. D．The influence of his teacher’s trust. 26．What drove Joyce’s growth from a teenager to a shop owner? A．His continuous pursuit of the craft. B．His desire for great wealth. C．Financial support from museums. D．Growing demand for metal works. 27．What can we learn from Tom Joyce’s story? A．Well begun is half done. B．Experience is the best teacher. C．Opportunity knocks only once. D．Strike while the iron is hot. C A corn plant knows how to find water in soil with the very tips of its roots, but some varieties appear to have lost some of that ability, according to a Stanford-led study. With climate change intensifying droughts, the findings are vital for developing corn varieties with stronger adaptability. An essay, published in the journal Science, notes how plant roots branch toward water and avoid dry spaces in soil. “Plants are wise in the way they ‘see’ where water is in soil, and the genes (基因) that are responsible for that play an important role in helping the plant create a root system that is enhanced for efficient water uptake,” said Jose Dinneny, the study’s senior author and a professor of biology in Stanford’s School of Humanities and Sciences. The Dinneny lab had previously revealed the fine sensitivity of corn roots for spotting water, and further studies showed that this sensitivity heavily depended on the specific variety of corn. For this study, the researchers developed a new, simplified way to study water sensitivity in roots, making it possible to analyze the responses of 250 corn varieties that reflect the genetic pool present in modern corn reproducing. They discovered that corn varieties adapting to grow in tropical (热带的) or subtropical areas like Mexico were very good at making new root branches toward water and avoiding dry areas. In contrast, the varieties adapting to temperate (温带的) regions of North America frequently grew roots in many directions without distinguishing between dry and wet areas in the soil. This work was made possible through an international cooperation of several research groups. “Researchers need to better understand the interaction of these genetic pathways before corn varieties can be developed with more drought-adaptive root systems, but the findings highlight the importance of studying these localized responses at root tips”, said lead author Johannes Scharwies, a postdoctoral scholar in Dinneny’s lab. 28．Which of the following drives the research on more adaptable corns? A．Worsened soils. B．More severe droughts. C．Poorer water quality. D．Greater demand for corn. 29．What does paragraph 2 focus on about the research? A．Its procedure. B．Its significance. C．Its theoretical basis. D．Its practical value. 30．What can be inferred about corn varieties from temperate regions? A．They exhibit stronger drought resistance. B．They tend to grow roots deeper into the soil. C．They are genetically superior in water absorption. D．They are less efficient in adapting to water distribution. 31．What is the suitable title for the text? A．Farm Innovation: Corn Grown in Localized Soil B．Genetic Differences in Corn Varieties’ Root Growth C．Corn Roots: Adaptability and Genetic Insights in Drought D．New Methods in Researching Corn Root Water-Sensitivity D In a crowded subway, Alaina Demopoulos was immersed in her book when a passenger’s ironic comment broke her concentration,“I wish I had your confidence doing this in public.” While Demopoulos’s engagement was genuine, the comment highlighted a widespread trend: performative reading — acts of public reading motivated not by simple personal enjoyment, but by a desire for intentional social display. “You can still observe people reading physical books on subway,” says Emily Foster, a cultural analyst at the Urban Communication Institute.“But our recent study shows that 68% of commuters(通勤者) choose to read in part for how it might be seen by others.” This behavior, she explains, is driven by the influence of social media, which encourages individuals to increasingly curate their personal image in every public place. In this trend, a book, traditionally a source of knowledge, becomes a carefully picked fashion item, allowing readers to silently present their interests and cultural preferences,even though the primary motivation may often be an urge to appear smart and cultured. However, this public performance of reading still generates measurable social benefits.“Simply seeing people engage with serious books in public makes reading seem more common and accepted,”noted Foster, who views this return of print books to public spaces as a positive development. This increased visibility not only promotes conversations about literature but also leads to more book recommendations among commuters, creating informal learning opportunities and finally fostering a broader cultural appreciation for reading throughout the community. Last month, a non-profit organization placed public service advertisements in over 20 subway stations, aiming to inspire passengers to“Dive into a Book”. For those inspired to begin their own public reading journey, the key is simply to focus on personal growth rather than public performance. By choosing material they genuinely enjoy, readers can find a balance between personal satisfaction and the identity they wish to show. 32．When does a person engage in performative reading? A．When reading for personal enjoyment. B．When aiming to impress others publicly. C．When choosing to read during travel time. D．When showing genuine engagement in reading. 33．Which word can best replace the underlined word“curate” in Paragraph 2? A．Shape. B．Mask. C．Simplify. D．Monitor. 34．How does Emily Foster view the public reading trend? A．She sees it as a problematic act in public. B．She recognizes its valuable social impact. C．She stresses personal reading satisfaction. D．She views it as a sign of spreading personal image 35．What does the author suggest readers do in the last paragraph? A．Choose books according to their popularity. B．Put inner fulfillment before social impression. C．Balance personal growth with public performance. D．Read books recommended by non-profit organizations. 第二节（共5小题：每小题2. 5分, 满分12. 5分） 阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The Benefits of Reading for Teenagers In an age filled with digital distractions, it is difficult for people to read a book. 36 Regular reading shapes teenagers into more thoughtful, empathetic, and positive individuals. Reading improves teenagers’ academic performance and thinking abilities. When teenagers read widely, they expand their vocabulary, improve their language expression, and strengthen their logical thinking. 37 These benefits not only boost their grades in subjects like Chinese and English, but also develop their ability to analyze and solve problems. Reading develops teenagers’ emotional intelligence and empathy. Teenage years are a critical period for emotional growth, and books serve as windows to different lives and feelings. 38 Through following characters’ experiences, teenagers learn to recognize and understand various emotions. This helps them better handle their own feelings and relate to others. 39 Many books for teenagers convey themes of courage, kindness, determination, and responsibility. They learn from characters’ experiences and apply these lessons to their own lives. Reading also introduces them to diverse life choices, helping them clarify their own ambitions and develop a positive life attitude. In summary, reading offers countless benefits to teenagers — improving academic skills, cultivating empathy, and shaping positive values. 40 A．This experience allows them to step into others’ shoes. B．However, reading has many positive impacts on teenagers. C．Reading guides teenagers to establish positive values and life views. D．It helps teenagers relax and relieve stress from school and daily life. E．These skills are essential for their academic success and lifelong learning. F．Unlike short-form digital content, reading requires focus and deep thinking. G．Developing a reading habit from a young age can benefit teenagers for a lifetime. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Mr. Vedder has impacted my life in ways even I cannot imagine.

In some understandings, Prometheus, 57 took fire away from the gods, clearly shows the deep conflicts between new 58 (arrive) and local people. Later, writers like Percy Shelley (1792-1822) rewrote him as a 59 (fear) hero who went against rulers. This figure touched Chinese thinkers in the early 1900s. They used Prometheus to stand for brave revolutionaries 60 (bring) Marxism into China. “Prometheus remains 61 (wide) known because generation after generation has continued to tell his story.

Interestingly, this lifetime passion was awakened by a casual contest when I was a child. At a family picnic for employees of the company where my father worked, they held contests for the children. I was 13, full of enthusiasm and the spirit of competition, so I launched myself into the contests. The grand final, the handkerchief-throwing contest, I realize now, was not meant to demonstrate any real skill, but simply for laughs. But it stirred my love of thinking outside the box. The host gave each of the dozen children a cloth handkerchief and told us the winner would be the one who threw it the farthest. The first throwers, the little ones, took mighty wind-ups, but when the cloth left their hands, it opened and flew to the ground a few inches in front of them. The next kids threw harder and harder, but with no better results. The older the children, the more the crowd laughed at the poor results. It was obvious that using the same technique would not work. “Think out of the box!” I said to myself. Suppose I tied a rock inside the handkerchief? No, it was “throw a handkerchief,” not a rock  and a handkerchief. When they inspected it, I’d be disqualified. The secret was not to throw harder but to keep the cloth from opening. I had to make the handkerchief fly like a rock. Like a rock! That was it! I began tying the handkerchief around itself to make it small and hard, like a rock. When I approached the line, people were laughing already, anticipating a tall, big boy like me throwing it a few inches. I took a long wind-up, and the balled handkerchief rocketed off into the trees maybe 60 feet away. 注意： (1) 续写词数应为150左右。 (2) 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: “That’s not fair,” a man said. “It’s cheating.”   _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Inspired, the rest kids started to explore other ways to throw farther.   _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司1 / 23 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。Let's meet at twenty to five.

I’m Li Hua. It’s my great honor to talk about the joy of reading. Reading, which plays an important role in our life, can not only help us learn more but also improve our skills. I didn’t like reading in junior high school. But after reading some interesting stories, I gradually fell in love with it. Now whenever I feel tired or upset, reading calms me down and brings me joy and confidence. It has become my best friend. Reading is a lifelong journey. Let’s read more and enjoy its beauty. Thank you! 67．    Paragraph 1: “That’s not fair,” a man said. “It’s cheating.” Murmurs of agreement rippled through the crowd. My face burned with embarrassment — had I really broken the rules? But the host stepped forward and picked up my handkerchief. He examined it carefully, then turned to the audience. “The rule said ‘throw a handkerchief,’” he announced. “It didn’t say you couldn’t fold it. This young man used his brain. That’s not cheating — that’s creativity!” A round of applause replaced the complaints. That moment taught me a lesson: constraints are not walls, but invitations to think differently.     Paragraph 2: Inspired, the rest kids started to explore other ways to throw farther. One girl tied her handkerchief to a small stick and flung it like a spear. Another boy wet his handkerchief and twisted it into a tight rope, sending it spinning through the air like a propeller. Each child experimented with wild, imaginative methods. Even the little ones, who had failed earlier, now ran back to the line with newfound determination. That day, a simple contest transformed into a celebration of ingenuity. And for me, it ignited a lifelong passion for creative thinking. 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司1 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $………………○………………外………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○………………线………………○……………… ………………○………………内………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○………………线………………○……………… 此卷只装订不密封 ………………○………………内………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○………………线………………○……………… ………………○………………外………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○………………线………………○……………… … 学校：______________姓名：_____________班级：_______________考号：______________________ 2026-2027学年高一必修第二册英语单元自测 Unit 4 Exploring Literature·单元自测卷 学校:___________班级：___________姓名：___________分数：___________ （时间：120分钟，满分：150分） 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分1.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 1．When will the speakers meet?

When he speaks of iron, you can hear the respect in the voice of this soft-spoken artist. He uses every tool available — from basic sketchbooks to CT scanning and 3-D printing — to reveal the metal’s rare character. Joyce was born in Oklahoma, where his parents taught him that every part contains a clue to the whole, whether that’s a color, shape, or handicraft of civilization. Joyce found his medium when family affairs took him to El Rito, New Mexico. A third grade teacher there changed the course of his life when she allowed him into the studio one day after school, gave him a piece of clay, and let his hands do the talking. At 13, Joyce wandered into the workshops of Peter Wells, who was restoring historic printing equipment for the Museum of New Mexico. Wells decided to give the earnest kid a try. After watching Joyce work for several days, Wells, one day, handed Joyce the shop keys and left. In the end, Joyce landed a summer job there. From then on, Joyce decided to work full time and struck a deal with the Museum of New Mexico to let him spend hours in their basement with objects that he refers to as “teachers”. He learned techniques by tracking the marks made by smiths and built a collection of potential design solutions. In his early 20s, Joyce moved to Santa Fe and opened his own shop. Graduating to more demanding custom architectural metal work, he continued to seek out teachers. For the past decade, Joyce has taken his work to an industrial scale through a rare relationship with a large factory outside of Chicago. As for what’s to come, whether it’s new collaborations with industries or different tools in his hands, Joyce will continue to track, with keen precision, the character of iron. 24．What can we infer about Tom Joyce’s artistic approach? A．A rejection of modern machines. B．A complete reliance on computers. C．A combination of tradition and technology. D．A focus on chemical changes. 25．What is the second paragraph mainly about? A．The early inspirations for his artistic journey. B．The influence of his parents’ life philosophy. C．The process of finding his working medium. D．The influence of his teacher’s trust. 26．What drove Joyce’s growth from a teenager to a shop owner? A．His continuous pursuit of the craft. B．His desire for great wealth. C．Financial support from museums. D．Growing demand for metal works. 27．What can we learn from Tom Joyce’s story? A．Well begun is half done. B．Experience is the best teacher. C．Opportunity knocks only once. D．Strike while the iron is hot. C A corn plant knows how to find water in soil with the very tips of its roots, but some varieties appear to have lost some of that ability, according to a Stanford-led study. With climate change intensifying droughts, the findings are vital for developing corn varieties with stronger adaptability. An essay, published in the journal Science, notes how plant roots branch toward water and avoid dry spaces in soil. “Plants are wise in the way they ‘see’ where water is in soil, and the genes (基因) that are responsible for that play an important role in helping the plant create a root system that is enhanced for efficient water uptake,” said Jose Dinneny, the study’s senior author and a professor of biology in Stanford’s School of Humanities and Sciences. The Dinneny lab had previously revealed the fine sensitivity of corn roots for spotting water, and further studies showed that this sensitivity heavily depended on the specific variety of corn. For this study, the researchers developed a new, simplified way to study water sensitivity in roots, making it possible to analyze the responses of 250 corn varieties that reflect the genetic pool present in modern corn reproducing. They discovered that corn varieties adapting to grow in tropical (热带的) or subtropical areas like Mexico were very good at making new root branches toward water and avoiding dry areas. In contrast, the varieties adapting to temperate (温带的) regions of North America frequently grew roots in many directions without distinguishing between dry and wet areas in the soil. This work was made possible through an international cooperation of several research groups. “Researchers need to better understand the interaction of these genetic pathways before corn varieties can be developed with more drought-adaptive root systems, but the findings highlight the importance of studying these localized responses at root tips”, said lead author Johannes Scharwies, a postdoctoral scholar in Dinneny’s lab. 28．Which of the following drives the research on more adaptable corns? A．Worsened soils. B．More severe droughts. C．Poorer water quality. D．Greater demand for corn. 29．What does paragraph 2 focus on about the research? A．Its procedure. B．Its significance. C．Its theoretical basis. D．Its practical value. 30．What can be inferred about corn varieties from temperate regions? A．They exhibit stronger drought resistance. B．They tend to grow roots deeper into the soil. C．They are genetically superior in water absorption. D．They are less efficient in adapting to water distribution. 31．What is the suitable title for the text? A．Farm Innovation: Corn Grown in Localized Soil B．Genetic Differences in Corn Varieties’ Root Growth C．Corn Roots: Adaptability and Genetic Insights in Drought D．New Methods in Researching Corn Root Water-Sensitivity D In a crowded subway, Alaina Demopoulos was immersed in her book when a passenger’s ironic comment broke her concentration,“I wish I had your confidence doing this in public.” While Demopoulos’s engagement was genuine, the comment highlighted a widespread trend: performative reading — acts of public reading motivated not by simple personal enjoyment, but by a desire for intentional social display. “You can still observe people reading physical books on subway,” says Emily Foster, a cultural analyst at the Urban Communication Institute.“But our recent study shows that 68% of commuters(通勤者) choose to read in part for how it might be seen by others.” This behavior, she explains, is driven by the influence of social media, which encourages individuals to increasingly curate their personal image in every public place. In this trend, a book, traditionally a source of knowledge, becomes a carefully picked fashion item, allowing readers to silently present their interests and cultural preferences,even though the primary motivation may often be an urge to appear smart and cultured. However, this public performance of reading still generates measurable social benefits.“Simply seeing people engage with serious books in public makes reading seem more common and accepted,”noted Foster, who views this return of print books to public spaces as a positive development. This increased visibility not only promotes conversations about literature but also leads to more book recommendations among commuters, creating informal learning opportunities and finally fostering a broader cultural appreciation for reading throughout the community. Last month, a non-profit organization placed public service advertisements in over 20 subway stations, aiming to inspire passengers to“Dive into a Book”. For those inspired to begin their own public reading journey, the key is simply to focus on personal growth rather than public performance. By choosing material they genuinely enjoy, readers can find a balance between personal satisfaction and the identity they wish to show. 32．When does a person engage in performative reading? A．When reading for personal enjoyment. B．When aiming to impress others publicly. C．When choosing to read during travel time. D．When showing genuine engagement in reading. 33．Which word can best replace the underlined word“curate” in Paragraph 2? A．Shape. B．Mask. C．Simplify. D．Monitor. 34．How does Emily Foster view the public reading trend? A．She sees it as a problematic act in public. B．She recognizes its valuable social impact. C．She stresses personal reading satisfaction. D．She views it as a sign of spreading personal image 35．What does the author suggest readers do in the last paragraph? A．Choose books according to their popularity. B．Put inner fulfillment before social impression. C．Balance personal growth with public performance. D．Read books recommended by non-profit organizations. 第二节（共5小题：每小题2. 5分, 满分12. 5分） 阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The Benefits of Reading for Teenagers In an age filled with digital distractions, it is difficult for people to read a book. 36 Regular reading shapes teenagers into more thoughtful, empathetic, and positive individuals. Reading improves teenagers’ academic performance and thinking abilities. When teenagers read widely, they expand their vocabulary, improve their language expression, and strengthen their logical thinking. 37 These benefits not only boost their grades in subjects like Chinese and English, but also develop their ability to analyze and solve problems. Reading develops teenagers’ emotional intelligence and empathy. Teenage years are a critical period for emotional growth, and books serve as windows to different lives and feelings. 38 Through following characters’ experiences, teenagers learn to recognize and understand various emotions. This helps them better handle their own feelings and relate to others. 39 Many books for teenagers convey themes of courage, kindness, determination, and responsibility. They learn from characters’ experiences and apply these lessons to their own lives. Reading also introduces them to diverse life choices, helping them clarify their own ambitions and develop a positive life attitude. In summary, reading offers countless benefits to teenagers — improving academic skills, cultivating empathy, and shaping positive values. 40 A．This experience allows them to step into others’ shoes. B．However, reading has many positive impacts on teenagers. C．Reading guides teenagers to establish positive values and life views.

In some understandings, Prometheus, 57 took fire away from the gods, clearly shows the deep conflicts between new 58 (arrive) and local people. Later, writers like Percy Shelley (1792-1822) rewrote him as a 59 (fear) hero who went against rulers. This figure touched Chinese thinkers in the early 1900s. They used Prometheus to stand for brave revolutionaries 60 (bring) Marxism into China. “Prometheus remains 61 (wide) known because generation after generation has continued to tell his story.

Interestingly, this lifetime passion was awakened by a casual contest when I was a child. At a family picnic for employees of the company where my father worked, they held contests for the children. I was 13, full of enthusiasm and the spirit of competition, so I launched myself into the contests. The grand final, the handkerchief-throwing contest, I realize now, was not meant to demonstrate any real skill, but simply for laughs. But it stirred my love of thinking outside the box. The host gave each of the dozen children a cloth handkerchief and told us the winner would be the one who threw it the farthest. The first throwers, the little ones, took mighty wind-ups, but when the cloth left their hands, it opened and flew to the ground a few inches in front of them. The next kids threw harder and harder, but with no better results. The older the children, the more the crowd laughed at the poor results. It was obvious that using the same technique would not work. “Think out of the box!” I said to myself. Suppose I tied a rock inside the handkerchief? No, it was “throw a handkerchief,” not a rock  and a handkerchief. When they inspected it, I’d be disqualified. The secret was not to throw harder but to keep the cloth from opening. I had to make the handkerchief fly like a rock. Like a rock! That was it! I began tying the handkerchief around itself to make it small and hard, like a rock. When I approached the line, people were laughing already, anticipating a tall, big boy like me throwing it a few inches. I took a long wind-up, and the balled handkerchief rocketed off into the trees maybe 60 feet away. 注意： (1) 续写词数应为150左右。 (2) 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: “That’s not fair,” a man said. “It’s cheating.”   _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Inspired, the rest kids started to explore other ways to throw farther.   ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试题 第3页（共12页） 试题 第4页（共12页） 试题 第1页（共12页） 试题 第2页（共12页） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
