It’s called the Friendship Kitchen, and we hold it twice a week here at the community center. It gets more popular by the week, so we are truly grateful for any extra hands. The Friendship Kitchen was set up two years ago by Helen. She lived in a nearby village and would often visit an old man named Frank, who lived on his own. They would spend afternoons talking and having tea together, but Helen soon realized Frank needed more social interaction with people around his age or with the same hobbies. So she contacted the authorities to help start a weekly event. At first, it was only held on Sundays, but only a few people came. It was then changed to Wednesdays and Saturdays, which has worked wonders. Finally, let me conclude with an introduction of your main responsibilities in this volunteer work. Take orders politely, serve food and drinks, and generally keep everyone happy. Let’s get started. 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 Greenfield Public Library — Events This Week Welcome to a week of stories, flavors and hands-on fun at Greenfield Public Library.

(厨房只能容纳20人，所以请到前台登记。)”可知，Cook the Story活动需要提前登记报名。根据Book Swap Corner部分“No registration is needed — just drop in. (无需登记——随时来就行。)”可知，图书交换角不需要提前报名。根据Story Hour for Kids部分未提及需要提前报名。根据Evening with a Storyteller部分“entry is on a first-come, first-served basis (先到先得)”可知，该活动不需要提前报名。 22．细节理解题。根据Cook the Story部分“Every participant receives a set of recipe cards to take home. (每位参与者都会收到一套食谱卡片带回家。)”可知，参与Cook the Story的人可以免费获得食谱卡片。根据Evening with a Storyteller部分“Saturday, 7: 00 p. m. (周六晚上7点)”和“Doors open at 6: 30 p. m. (6:30 p.m.开门)”可知，活动7点开始而非6:30，A项错误。根据Story Hour for Kids部分“each child must come with an adult (每个孩子必须有大人陪同)”可知，孩子不能独自参加，B项错误。根据Book Swap Corner部分“Bring up to five books in good condition (带最多五本状况良好的书)”可知，要求书的状况良好，并非任何条件都接受，C项错误。 23．细节理解题。根据Evening with a Storyteller部分“Award-winning storyteller Amina Yusuf shares tales from West Africa and invites the audience to build a brand-new story together. (获奖讲故事者Amina Yusuf分享来自西非的故事，并邀请观众一起创作一个全新的故事。)”可知，带领观众创作故事的是Amina Yusuf。 B The summer I turned 10, the camp counselors talked us into a game of street hockey on the gym’s squeaky floor. I was chubby and uncoordinated（不协调的）— useless under pressure — and rushing to steal the ball, I took a stick directly to the mouth and tasted blood at once. Mike, one of the counselors, hurried over and put a hand on my shoulder. “You’re okay, buddy. Just walk it off.” Then I leaned forward and spat the broken pieces of my tooth into my palm. “Okaaaaay,” said Mike, backing away. “I’ll go call your mom.” At the dentist’s office, Dr. Iriana built up layer upon layer of composite resin（复合树脂）until he had shaped something roughly toothlike. To me it looked like a little white tombstone. The cap, he explained, was temporary. Naive boy that I was, I believed my tooth trouble was behind me. Then, in junior high, it began to discolor. My tooth seemed to age, fading like a paperback（平装书）left in the sun. I hated it because I was certain everyone else hated it too. So began my long era of tight-lipped, toothless grins. Decades later, I finally had it fixed. The new dentist was calm and kind. As she built up layers of tooth-colored resin, she asked now and then whether I was all right. The whole thing took less than an hour. Driving home, I kept opening and closing my mouth, my eyes moving between the road ahead and my reflection in the rear view mirror. For the first time in decades, I smiled an unbroken smile. More than three years have passed. No one seemed to care. I waited for people to notice, the way they do when you get a new pair of glasses or lose weight. But nothing. I was surprised, then a little wounded. It seems ridiculous, but I sometimes miss the snaggletooth that made my smile wild and singular. And I wonder: What are we trying to change — our teeth or ourselves? 24．How did the author break his front tooth? A．He fell and hit the wall. B．A stick struck him in the mouth. C．He bit something hard at a meal. D．A hockey hit him during the game. 25．Why does the author mention the counselor’s change of words — from “Just walk it off” to “I’ll go call your mom”? A．To criticise the camp for poor safety standards. B．To add humour and show the injury was serious. C．To explain why he gave up hockey for good. D．To show how calm and professional they were. 26．What does the underlined word“wounded” in the last paragraph most likely mean? A．Hurt in one’s feelings. B．Injured in the body. C．Made extremely angry. D．Damaged beyond repair. 27．What is the main message of the Text ? A．It is unwise to repair a tooth too early. B．People notice our looks less than we think. C．What needs changing is how we see ourselves. D．Modern dentistry easily repairs childhood dental damage 【答案】24．B 25．B 26．A 27．C 【语篇导读】文章主要讲述作者童年磕断牙的经历以及由此产生的感悟。 【详解】24．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“I was chubby and uncoordinated（不协调的）— useless under pressure — and rushing to steal the ball, I took a stick directly to the mouth and tasted blood at once.(我当时胖胖的，动作还不协调 —— 压力之下完全发挥不出水平。在我冲上去抢球的时候，球杆直接打到我的嘴上，我立刻尝到了血腥味。)” 可知，一根球杆打到作者的嘴，造成门牙断裂。 25．推理判断题。根据第一段中的““You’re okay, buddy. Just walk it off.” Then I leaned forward and spat the broken pieces of my tooth into my palm. “Okaaaaay,” saidMike, backing away. “I’ll go call your mom.”(“没事的，孩子，忍一忍就过去了。”接着我俯身，把碎牙吐到掌心。“好吧好吧，”迈克一边后退一边说，“我去给你妈妈打电话。”)”可知，辅导员前后话语形成强烈反差，增添幽默效果，同时表明伤势比预想的严重。 26．词句猜测题。根据最后一段中的“I waited for people to notice, the way they do when you get a new pair of glasses or lose weight. But nothing. I was surprised, then a little wounded. (我一直等着别人发现，就像人们看到你换新眼镜或者瘦了的时候那样。但是没有人注意。我很惊讶，随后心里有点wounded。)”可知，此处不是身体受伤，而是情感、内心受到伤害。Hurt in one’s feelings（情感上受伤）符合词义。 27．主旨大意题。文章主要讲述作者童年磕断牙的经历以及由此产生的感悟。根据最后一段中的“And I wonder: What are we trying to change — our teeth or ourselves? (我不禁思考：我们想要改变的，是我们的牙齿，还是我们自己？)”可知，文章的主要信息是真正需要改变的是我们看待自己的方式。 C Athletic footwear has entered a new era of ambition. No longer content to promise just comfort or performance, Nike claims its shoes can activate the brain, heighten sensory awareness and even improve concentration by stimulating the bottom of the feet. “By studying perception, attention, and sensory feedback, we’re using the brain-body connection in new ways,” said Nike’s chief science officer. “It’s not just about running faster; it’s about feeling more focused and resilient.” It’s a convincing idea: The feet are rich in sensory receptors, so could stimulating them really sharpen the mind? Neuroscience suggests the reality is more complicated — and far less dramatic — than the marketing implies. The bottom of the feet contains thousands of mechanoreceptors that detect pressure, vibration and movement. Signals from these receptors travel through nerves up to an area of the brain called the somatosensory cortex, which maintains a map of the body. The feet occupy a meaningful part of this map, reflecting their importance in balance, posture, and movement. Because posture and movement are tightly linked to attention and stimulation, changes in sensory feedback from the feet can influence how stable, alert or sensible a person feels. In view of this, neurologists and physicians pay close attention to footwear in patients with balance disorders, neuropathy, or gait problems. Changing sensory input can alter (改变) how people move. But is influencing movement the same thing as enhancing cognition? Sensory input from the feet activates somatosensory regions of the brain, not meaning cognitive enhancement. Focus, attention, and executive function depend on distributed networks involving various other areas of the brain. They also rely on hormones that adjust the nervous system, such as dopamine and norepinephrine. Some studies suggest that mild sensory input may increase alertness in specific populations, such as older adults training to improve their balance or people in recovery from sensory loss, but these effects are modest and highly dependent on context. The most meaningful “mind-altering” effects a person can experience through physical fitness still come from sustained movement, training, sleep and attention, not from sense alone. Footwear may shape how the journey feels, but it is unlikely to change the destination. 28．What is the feature of Nike’s shoes in its claim? A．Offering treatment for patients. B．Stressing comfort and performance. C．Enhancing wearers’ cognition. D．Proving the brain-body connection. 29．What can we learn from Paragraph 4? A．The feet occupy the largest part in the brain’s body map. B．Foot-sensory signals can bring a certain sense of alertness. C．Mechanoreceptors are created inside people’s athletic footwear. D．Somatosensory cortex is mainly responsible for hormone release. 30．Which of the following might neurologists agree with? A．Shoes may not change real cognitive ability. B．Nike has opened a new era of sports science. C．Solid evidence can help Nike expand the market. D．All mind-altering effects come from footwear. 31．What can be implied from the last sentence of the text? A．Nike’s claim is partially overstated. B．Keeping fit is a final destination in life. C．The shape of footwear may be tailored. D．A long journey begins with suitable shoes. 【答案】28．C 29．B 30．A 31．A 【语篇导读】本文介绍了耐克宣称新款鞋可通过刺激足底提升认知，神经学方面的研究指出其效果微弱，真正改善认知需靠长期运动等，鞋子的作用被营销夸大。 【详解】28．细节理解题。根据第一段“No longer content to promise just comfort or performance, Nike claims its shoes can activate the brain, heighten sensory awareness and even improve concentration by stimulating the bottom of the feet.(耐克不再满足于承诺舒适或性能，而是宣称其鞋款能够通过刺激足底来激活大脑、增强感官意识，甚至提升专注力)”可知，耐克宣称自家鞋子不局限于传统的舒适、运动表现属性，还能通过刺激足底激活大脑、提升感知甚至改善专注力，而这些都属于认知能力提升的范畴。 29．细节理解题。根据第四段“Because posture and movement are tightly linked to attention and stimulation, changes in sensory feedback from the feet can influence how stable, alert or sensible a person feels.(由于姿势和运动与注意力和刺激密切相关，足部感觉反馈的变化会影响一个人感到的稳定度、警觉性或感知能力)”可知，来自足部的感官反馈变化会影响人感到警觉的程度，和B选项表述吻合。 30．推理判断题。根据第五段“But is influencing movement the same thing as enhancing cognition?(但影响运动是否等同于提升认知功能呢)”及第七段“Some studies suggest that mild sensory input may increase alertness in specific populations, such as older adults training to improve their balance or people in recovery for sensory loss, but these effects are modest and highly dependent on context.(一些研究表明，轻微的感觉输入可能在特定人群中提高警觉性，例如正在训练以改善平衡的老年群体，或正从感官丧失中恢复的人群。但这些效果较为有限，且高度依赖于具体情境)”可知，神经相关研究指出足部感官输入只能激活大脑的躯体感觉区域，不等于认知增强，真正的认知提升效果非常有限，因此神经科医生会认同“鞋子无法真正改变认知能力”的观点。 31．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Footwear may shape how the journey feels, but it is unlikely to change the destination.(鞋子或许会影响旅途的感受，但不太可能改变目的地)”可推测，这是比喻说法：这里的“旅途体感”指穿鞋时的表层感官感受，“目的地”指耐克宣称的大幅提升专注力、强化认知的效果，结合前文提到的耐克宣传的效果远夸张于实际神经科学结论，可推知耐克的说法存在夸大成分。 D More than 100,000 people in the United States are currently waiting for organ transplants, and many face long delays or rejection even when a suitable donor is found. One promising alternative is regenerative medicine, which aims to grow personalized organs using a patient’s own cells. Ensuring that oxygen and nutrients can reach every part of a newly grown organ is an ongoing challenge. Researchers at Stanford have created new tools to design and 3D print the incredibly complex vascular (血管的) trees needed to carry blood throughout an organ. The researchers built an algorithm (算法) to create vascular trees similar to native organ blood vessel structures. They ensured that the vasculature would evenly distribute blood and successfully shorten the time needed to generate the network. While 3D printers aren’t yet up to the task of printing such a fine-scale network, the researchers were able to design and print a vascular model with 500 branches. Using a 3D bio-printer, the researchers created a thick ring loaded with human cells and built a network of 25 vessels running through it. The researchers are quick to note that these vascular networks are not yet functional blood vessels — they don’t have muscle cells or anything else that they would need to work on their own. “This is the first step toward generating really complex vascular networks,” said Dominic Rütsche, one of the researchers. “We can print them at never-before-seen complexities, but they are not yet fully functional vessels. We’re working on that.” Turning these designs into functioning blood vessels is just one of the many tasks that the researchers are working on. “This is a critical step in the process,” Dominic said. “We have successfully generated enough heart cells from human stem cells to print the whole human heart, and now we can design a good, complex vascular tree to keep them fed and living. We are now actively putting the two together: cells and vasculature, at organ scale.” 32．What does Stanford’s research mainly focus on? A．Increasing available donor organs. B．Removing deadly organ rejections. C．Designing workable vascular networks. D．Developing personalized 3D bio-printers. 33．What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about concerning the research? A．Its principles. B．Its achievements. C．Its objectives. D．Its process. 34．How does Dominic describe the research? A．Practical but costly. B．Worthwhile but risky. C．Fruitful but questionable. D．Promising but immature. 35．What will the researchers do next? A．Employ stem cells to print whole organs. B．Integrate cells and vessels on a larger scale. C．Generate more cells for further experiments. D．Produce vascular trees to sustain heart cells. 【答案】32．C 33．B 34．D 35．B 【语篇导读】本文主要讲述了斯坦福大学研究团队针对再生医学领域人造器官的氧气与营养输送难题，研发出可设计并3D打印复杂血管树的技术工具，介绍了该研究的阶段性成果、现存功能局限以及未来的研究方向。 【详解】32．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Researchers at Stanford have created new tools to design and 3D print the incredibly complex vascular (血管的) trees needed to carry blood throughout an organ.(斯坦福大学的研究人员研发出了新型工具，用以设计并3D打印能够在器官内部输送血液的、结构极其复杂的血管树。)”可知，斯坦福的这项研究主要聚焦于设计可应用于人造器官的可行血管网络。 33．段落大意题。根据第二段中的“The researchers built an algorithm (算法) to create vascular trees similar to native organ blood vessel structures. They ensured that the vasculature would evenly distribute blood and successfully shorten the time needed to generate the network. While 3D printers aren’t yet up to the task of printing such a fine-scale network, the researchers were able to design and print a vascular model with 500 branches. Using a 3D bio-printer, the researchers created a thick ring loaded with human cells and built a network of 25 vessels running through it.(研究人员构建了一种算法，可生成与天然器官血管结构相似的血管树，确保血管系统能够均匀输送血液，并成功缩短了生成血管网络的时间。尽管3D打印机目前还无法打印精度如此之高的网络，但研究人员已经设计并打印出一个拥有500个分支的血管模型。借助3D生物打印机，研究人员制作出一个载有人体细胞的厚环组织，并在其中构建了包含25条血管的网络。)”可知，该段依次介绍了算法研发、血管模型打印、细胞与血管结合打印三项技术进展，核心内容为该研究已取得的成就。 34．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“We can print them at never-before-seen complexities, but they are not yet fully functional vessels. We’re working on that.(我们能够打印出复杂度前所未有的血管结构，但它们还不是具备完整功能的血管，我们正致力于攻克这一问题。)”可知，Dominic认为这项研究已经取得了前所未有的技术突破，具备发展潜力，但目前技术尚未成熟，血管还不具备完整功能，相关研究仍在推进。 35．细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“We are now actively putting the two together: cells and vasculature, at organ scale.(我们目前正积极推进二者的结合：在器官尺度上整合细胞与血管系统。)”可知，研究人员下一步将在更大规模上实现细胞与血管网络的整合。 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。 Why Being Sensitive is a Strength There are plenty of traits we take pride in but being “sensitive” is usually perceived as a weakness. It’s used to mean you’re fragile, thin-skinned, or just overreacting. The message sensitive people get is that they should “overcome” their sensitivity and “toughen up.” 36 Sensitive people are born to process information more deeply than others do, enabling them to notice what others miss, and have a vivid inner life. Such depth is profitable. 37 Many artists, musicians, and actors are themselves sensitive people. But it doesn’t end with the arts. The same ability translates to innovation. Many of our greatest thinkers and scientists have been sensitive people. They tend to be deep thinkers and end up seeing more possibilities and solutions. Another strength sensitive people have is their decision-making ability, which may give them an evolutionary advantage. In a computer simulation (模拟) of natural selection, creatures who spent more resources considering their options and comparing them to past results, as sensitive people do, came out ahead in the long term compared to less sensitive creatures. 38 In the wilderness, that might mean tracking down wild animals when everyone is hungry. But perhaps the greatest advantage of sensitive people is what we call the “Boost Effect.” The “Boost Effect” means that sensitive people get more of a boost from the same things that help anyone. 39 If you’re a sensitive person, you can activate this ability by cultivating a supportive environment around yourself and by seeking out resources such as training, therapy, or coaching. If any of this sounds like you, you might be more sensitive than you realize. If so, you have probably felt the pressure to hide it. But that’s a trap. 40 So stop hiding. Embrace it, and show it to the world. A．Trying to do so only cuts you off from your gift. B．However, sensitivity is not necessarily a drawback. C．They are energized by any form of training or support. D．The most well-known sensitive gift is perhaps creativity. E．That is because they are more knowledgeable and open-minded. F．They accumulated more resources over time and out-survived others. G．One of the benefits of sensitivity is that it makes people more committed. 【答案】36．B 37．D 38．F 39．C 40．A 【语篇导读】本文主要介绍了敏感人群拥有的多项长处。 【详解】36．上文“There are plenty of traits we take pride in but being “sensitive” is usually perceived as a weakness. It’s used to mean you’re fragile, thin-skinned, or just overreacting. The message sensitive people get is that they should “overcome” their sensitivity and “toughen up.”(有很多特质是我们引以为傲的，但“敏感”通常被看作一种弱点。它常常被解读为脆弱、脸皮薄，或是反应过激。敏感的人接收到的信息往往是：他们应当“克服”敏感，变得坚强。)”说明人们通常把敏感看作弱点，认为敏感人群需要克服敏感、变得坚强；下文“Sensitive people are born to process information more deeply than others do, enabling them to notice what others miss, and have a vivid inner life. Such depth is profitable.(敏感的人天生比其他人处理信息更为深入，这让他们能够留意到别人忽略的细节，拥有丰富鲜活的内心世界。这种深度感知是有益的。)”介绍敏感带来的各类优势。B选项“However, sensitivity is not necessarily a drawback.(然而，敏感未必是一个缺点。)”承接上文人们对敏感的负面认知，引出下文对敏感各项优势的论述。 37．上文“Sensitive people are born to process information more deeply than others do, enabling them to notice what others miss, and have a vivid inner life. Such depth is profitable.(敏感的人天生比其他人处理信息更为深入，这让他们能够留意到别人忽略的细节，拥有丰富鲜活的内心世界。这种深度感知是有益的。)”说明敏感人群处理信息更深入，这种特质是有益的；下文“Many artists, musicians, and actors are themselves sensitive people. But it doesn’t end with the arts. The same ability translates to innovation.(许多艺术家、音乐家和演员本身都是敏感的人。但这种特质并不仅限于艺术领域，同样也体现在创新之中。)”列举艺术领域的敏感人群，还延伸到创新方面。D选项“The most well-known sensitive gift is perhaps creativity.(最著名的敏感天赋或许就是创造力。)”中“creativity”对应下文“artists, musicians, and actors”以及“innovation”，实现上下文内容衔接。38．上文“In a computer simulation (模拟) of natural selection, creatures who spent more resources considering their options and comparing them to past results, as sensitive people do, came out ahead in the long term compared to less sensitive creatures.(在一项自然选择的计算机模拟实验中，有些生物会投入更多精力权衡选择、对照过往经验，就像敏感的人一样。从长远来看，它们相比不那么敏感的生物更占上风。)”介绍自然选择的计算机模拟实验，敏感特质的生物长期表现更占优势，空格处应该承接模拟实验结果，F选项“They accumulated more resources over time and out-survived others.(它们随着时间的推移积累了更多资源，比其他生物存活得更久。)”中的“out-survived others”承接上文“came out ahead in the long term”，同时引出下文“In the wilderness, that might mean tracking down wild animals when everyone is hungry.(在野外，这或许就意味着在众人饥肠辘辘时追踪到猎物。)”野外场景的举例。 39．上文“But perhaps the greatest advantage of sensitive people is what we call the “Boost Effect.” The “Boost Effect” means that sensitive people get more of a boost from the same things that help anyone.(但敏感者最大的优势或许是所谓的“助推效应”。“助推效应”指：同样的有益事物，能给敏感人群带来更大的正向增益。)”解释“助推效应”含义，C选项“They are energized by any form of training or support.(他们能从任何形式的训练或支持中获得能量。)”承接上文指出“主推效应”在敏感的人身上的表现。 40．上文“If any of this sounds like you, you might be more sensitive than you realize. If so, you have probably felt the pressure to hide it. But that’s a trap.(如果你发现上面这些描述和你很像，那你或许比自己想象中更加敏感。如果是这样，你大概率承受过压力，想要隐藏这份敏感。但这是一个陷阱。)”说明敏感者常会迫于压力隐藏自己的敏感特质，这是一个误区，下文“So stop hiding. Embrace it, and show it to the world.(所以不要再隐藏了，接纳它，向世界展现它。)”呼吁接纳自身的敏感特质。A选项“Trying to do so only cuts you off from your gift.(试图这样做只会让你与自己的天赋相隔绝。)”中的“Trying to do so”指代上文“hide it”，解释陷阱的危害，顺承引出下文的呼吁。 第三部分 语言运用(共二节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分) Something magical is happening this summer: a group of high school students from the Golden Connections Club gather at Olive Community Services and learn some new skills — not from videos, but from real grandmas. The concept is quite simple: seniors teach kids 41 skills that once filled every household: sewing, ironing, cooking, and more. For Leena Albinali, a high school student and the club’s founder, this isn’t just an activity. It’s a 42 to bridge the gap between generations, while giving her peers (同龄人) a chance to 43 with elders, twice a week, in a(n) 44 way. “There is so much wisdom that lives in our 45 ,” she says. “So when I 46 many teens had never learned how to sew on a button or iron a shirt, I saw a(n) 47 : what if seniors could teach them? And so I recruited (招募) some peers to 48 the new group.” Every week involves both a craft and 49 session. One day, kids practice stitching (针脚). Another day, they learn how to make apple pies. There is laughter and burnt cookies, 50 buttons, spilled flour..., but it’s not about 51 . It’s about connection — where generations meet to share the 52 of creating something with their hands. This activity is part of Olive Community Services’ ongoing 53 to reduce senior loneliness. And now they’re also 54 youth. As one camper said, “Together, we’re not just 55 traditions — we’re creating new ones.” 41．A．interpersonal B．practical C．survival D．theoretical 42．A．mission B．compromise C．right D．struggle 43．A．match B．compete C．connect D．exercise 44．A．old-fashioned B．hands-on C．self-educated D．off-site 45．A．peers B．families C．teens D．seniors 46．A．assumed B．realized C．remembered D．admitted 47．A．opportunity B．challenge C．request D．priority 48．A．approve B．join C．train D．assess 49．A．fitness B．sewing C．designing D．cooking 50．A．misplaced B．fixed C．worn D．decorated 51．A．wisdom B．perfection C．enthusiasm D．creativity 52．A．burden B．memory C．delight D．truth 53．A．effort B．dream C．guidance D．initiative 54．A．comforting B．reuniting C．entertaining D．empowering 55．A．reflecting on B．adapting to C．passing down D．figuring out 【答案】41．B 42．A 43．C 44．B 45．D 46．B 47．A 48．B 49．D 50．A 51．B 52．C 53．A 54．D 55．C 【语篇导读】本文主要介绍一个俱乐部组织老人向高中生传授生活实操技能，拉近代际距离，减轻老人孤独感。 【详解】41．考查形容词。句意：这个理念十分简单：老年人教孩子们曾经遍布家家户户的实用技能：缝纫、熨烫、烹饪等等。A. interpersonal人际的；B. practical实用的；C. survival生存的；D. theoretical理论的。根据后文“sewing, ironing, cooking, and more”可知，缝纫、烹饪这些都属于实用生活技能。 42．考查名词。句意：对于高中生、俱乐部创始人莉娜·阿尔比纳利而言，这不仅仅是一项活动，这是一项弥合代际鸿沟的使命。A. mission使命；B. compromise妥协；C. right权利；D. struggle艰难的事。根据后文“to bridge the gap between generations”可知，弥合代际差距是她想要完成的使命。 43．考查动词。句意：同时让她的同龄人有机会每周两次，以动手实操的方式与老年人建立联系。A. match匹配；B. compete竞争；C. connect联系；D. exercise锻炼。根据后文“It’s about connection”可知，活动目的是让年轻人和老人建立联系。 44．考查形容词。句意：同时让她的同龄人有机会每周两次，以动手实操的方式与老年人建立联系。A. old-fashioned老式的；B. hands-on动手实操的；C. self-educated自学的；D. off-site场外的。根据前文“seniors teach kids ________ skills that once filled every household: sewing, ironing, cooking, and more.”可知，活动是学习缝纫、烹饪这类动手实操技能，所以采用动手实践的方式。 45．考查名词。句意：她说：“老年人身上蕴藏着无穷的智慧。”A. peers同龄人；B. families家人；C. teens青少年；D. seniors老年人。根据前文“seniors teach kids”可知，是老年人拥有很多人生智慧。 46．考查动词。句意：所以当我意识到许多青少年从来没有学会缝纽扣或者熨衬衫时，我看到了一个机会：老年人可不可以教他们？A. assumed假定；B. realized意识到；C. remembered记得；D. admitted承认。根据后文“many teens had never learned how to sew on a button or iron a shirt”可知，这是她观察之后意识到的现状。 47．考查名词。句意：所以当我意识到许多青少年从来没有学会缝纽扣或者熨衬衫时，我看到了一个机会：老年人可不可以教他们？A. opportunity机会；B. challenge挑战；C. request请求；D. priority优先事项。根据后文“And so I recruited (招募) some peers”可知，她发现了开展这项活动的机会。 48．考查动词。句意：于是我招募了一些同龄人加入这个新团体。A. approve赞成；B. join加入；C. train训练；D. assess评估。根据前文“And so I recruited (招募) some peers”可知，招募同伴来加入俱乐部。 49．考查名词。句意：每周的活动都包含手工制作和烹饪环节。A. fitness健身；B. sewing缝纫；C. designing设计；D. cooking烹饪。根据后文“Another day, they learn how to make apple pies”可知，制作苹果派属于烹饪环节。 50．考查形容词。句意：现场充满欢声笑语，烤糊的饼干、放错位置的纽扣、撒出来的面粉……但这无关完美。A. misplaced放错位置的；B. fixed修好的；C. worn磨损的；D. decorated装饰的。根据后文“spilled flour”可知，此处描述的是失误场景，由此可知，这里指纽扣放错位置，是手工过程里的小差错。 51．考查名词。句意：现场充满欢声笑语，烤糊的饼干、放错位置的纽扣、撒出来的面粉……但这无关完美。A. wisdom智慧；B. perfection完美；C. enthusiasm热情；D. creativity创造力。根据前文“burnt cookies, ______ buttons, spilled flour”可知，前文列举各类制作过程中的失误，结合后文“It’s about connection”可知，活动重点是代际之间的联结，而非追求完美。 52．考查名词。句意：重点在于人与人之间的联结，不同代际的人相聚，分享亲手创造事物带来的喜悦。A. burden负担；B. memory记忆；C. delight喜悦；D. truth真相。根据前文的“There is laughter”可知，亲手制作东西带来喜悦。 53．考查名词。句意：这项活动是奥利弗社区服务为缓解老年人孤独感而持续开展的一项努力。A. effort努力；B. dream梦想；C. guidance指导；D. initiative倡议。根据后文“to reduce senior loneliness”可知，该活动是为减轻老人孤独所做的努力。 54．考查动词。句意：而现在这项活动同样赋能年轻人。A. comforting安慰；B. reuniting重聚；C. entertaining使娱乐；D. empowering赋能，使有能力。根据前文“seniors teach kids ______ skills”以及俱乐部给青少年机会和老人交流、学习生活技能可知，这项活动让年轻人收获技能与成长，赋能青少年。 55．考查动词短语。句意：正如一名参与者所说：“我们在一起，不只是传承传统，我们还在创造新的传统。”A. reflecting on反思；B. adapting to适应；C. passing down传承；D. figuring out弄明白。根据后文“traditions”可知，老人传授手艺，是传承传统。 第二节(共10小题；每小题1.5分 ，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 At Hopson One Mall in Yangpu district, Shanghai, hundreds of visitors line up at a popup store.

After returning home, 59 they resell the toys at doubled prices, the products are still in great demand. In Yiwu, millions of bun-shaped decompression toys are about to board trucks for Zhoushan Port, waiting 60 (ship) to Europe and North America. China’s toy export data sends a signal: Chinese toy exports will reach where emotional 61 (consume) takes root worldwide. What drives this export trend is a mix of factors, including “China-Chic” design breakthroughs, sound supply chains and the appeal of emotional spending. Li Weiqing, 62 brand Molynk is one of the producers of squishy cake toys, says the brand aims for global layout. “ 63 (found) in 2024, our company set up branches in America, Japan and Spain with Shanghai as headquarters.” Dong Peng, 64 analyst, said: “In the past, Chinese toy exports did rely heavily on low-end OEM. Now these squishy toys act as cross-border 65 (hit), evolving from emotional goods into cultural carriers to meet people’s emotional needs.” 【答案】56．are drawn 57．Unlike 58．shopping 59．while/although/though 60．to be shipped 61．consumption 62．whose 63．Founded 64．an 65．hits 【语篇导读】文章介绍了上海捏捏蛋糕玩具走红，吸引东南亚游客专程来华购买。中国玩具出口借“国潮”设计与情感消费趋势，从低端代工转向文化载体，正加速全球布局。 【详解】56．考查动词时态和语态。句意：他们被一种热门商品——捏捏蛋糕玩具所吸引——这是一种色彩丰富的泡沫捏捏乐，既能缓解压力，又很时尚。设空处使用动词作谓语，句中主语They与动词draw之间是被动关系，且根据上文“line up”及语境可知，描述的是当前发生的状态或经常性动作，故用一般现在时的被动语态。主语they为复数，be动词用are，draw的过去分词为drawn。 57．考查介词。句意：与超软玩具不同，这款商品有着更紧实的泡沫质地，非常适合用作桌面装饰、派对礼物，或是帮大人和小孩缓解压力。根据下文“this item has a firmer foam texture”可知，此处是将该商品与“ultra-squishy toys”进行对比，表示“不像……”或“与……不同”用介词unlike，且位于句首首字母需大写。 58．考查非谓语动词。句意：这些玩具非常受欢迎，目前许多东南亚游客纷纷专程前往中国，在上海的线下商店购物。句中谓语动词是are paying，shop与逻辑主语tourists之间是主动关系，故用现在分词形式shopping。 59．考查连词。句意：虽然他们回国后以双倍价格转售这些玩具，但产品仍然供不应求。根据句意，前后分句之间存在让步或转折关系，“即使/虽然”用连词while / although / though引导让步状语从句。 60．考查非谓语动词。句意：在义乌，数百万个包子形减压玩具即将装上卡车，发往舟山港，准备运往欧洲和北美。wait to do sth.为固定搭配，意为“等待做某事”；此处ship与逻辑主语toys之间是被动关系，故用不定式的被动式to be shipped。 61．考查名词。句意：中国的玩具出口数据传递了一个信号：中国玩具出口将延伸至全球情感消费的发源地。此处作where引导的宾语从句的主语，且被形容词emotional修饰，应使用consume的名词形式consumption，其为不可数名词。 62．考查定语从句。句意：Li Weiqing的Molynk品牌是捏捏蛋糕玩具的生产商之一，他表示该品牌致力于全球布局。设空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词Li Weiqing与brand之间是所属关系，在从句中作定语，故用关系代词whose。 63．考查非谓语动词。句意：公司成立于2024年，已在美洲、日本和西班牙设立分支机构，总部位于上海。句中谓语动词是set up，found在句中作状语，与逻辑主语our company之间是被动关系，故用过去分词Founded，且位于句首首字母需大写。 64．考查冠词。句意：分析师董鹏表示：“过去，中国玩具出口很大程度上依赖低端代工。如今，这些软质玩具已成为跨境热门商品，从情感类产品发展为文化载体，满足人们的情感需求。”analyst是可数名词单数，此处表示泛指“一位分析师”，且analyst发音以元音音素开头，故用不定冠词an。 65．考查名词。句意同上。hit在此处作可数名词，意为“成功、爆款”，根据主语these squishy toys可知，此处指代多个爆款产品，应用hit复数形式hits作宾语。 第四部分 写作(共两节, 满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) 你校英文报“Time Management”栏目正在征稿，请同学们就如何有效利用碎片时间，对复盘（reflect）、阅读（read）、放松（relax）这三件事按重要性进行排序，并阐述理由。 注意： （1）写作词数应为80个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Ranking My Spare Time Priorities ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【参考范文】 Ranking My Spare Time Priorities To maximize limited spare moments, I rank reflection first, reading second, and relaxation third. I put reflection above all because it helps me learn from past mistakes and plan ahead. A few minutes of silent thinking can save hours of repeated errors. Reading comes second — it broadens my horizons without demanding much mental effort. Relaxation ranks last. While a short rest is necessary, it only restores energy rather than creating value, making it less significant than reflection and reading. The key, after all, lies not in keeping busy, but in making every spare minute count. 【语篇导读】本篇书面表达要求考生为校英文报“Time Management”栏目投稿，就如何有效利用碎片时间，对复盘、阅读、放松三件事按重要性排序并阐述理由。 【详解】1.词汇积累 帮助：help → aid 提前：ahead → in advance 需要：demand → require 重要的：significant → crucial 2.句式拓展 同义句转换 原句：A few minutes of silent thinking can save hours of repeated errors. 拓展句：Only with a few minutes of silent thinking can we prevent hours of repeated errors. 【点睛】【高分句型1】To maximize limited spare moments, I rank reflection first, reading second, and relaxation third.(运用了不定式短语作目的状语) 【高分句型2】While a short rest is necessary, it only restores energy rather than creating value, making it less significant than reflection and reading.(运用了while引导的让步状语从句和现在分词短语作结果状语) 第二节(满分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。 By the time I’d realized my Kindle was gone, I was already on my next flight. The year was 2014 and I was treating myself to a trip to South Africa before starting my first graduate job, but this was not an auspicious (吉兆的) beginning. I’d left the Kindle in the seat pocket in front of me during the 14-hour Sydney to Johannesburg leg and I was horrified. My e-reader was my constant companion and comfort, living under my pillow after I read myself to sleep every night. I had spent months curating (精心挑选) a selection of my favourite books, and now it was gone. Still, I was almost in Cape Town, and I couldn’t let it ruin my holiday. To me, South Africa was both foreign and familiar, the place of my parents’ birth but not my own. A few days later, my phone pinged (响了一下). An unauthorized user had tried to send a document to my Kindle account. A Google search of the email suggested it belonged to a young man from Pakistan. I thought it curious that my Kindle had resurfaced with a person who, like me, was from somewhere far away from the place it had been lost. I wondered what had brought him to South Africa and if he found the country as beautiful and vibrant as I did. I sent him an email, asking if he had found my Kindle and, if so, could he please return it. Almost instantly, I received a reply. He had bought the Kindle from someone and loved my book collection. He asked if he could keep it — he’d be happy to pay me for it but, if not, he would return it. I was touched by his enthusiasm for my book collection. Now that there was a prospect of getting my beloved Kindle back, I was eager to seize it. 注意： （1）写作词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 I replied, thanking him for his honesty. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ In the end, we met in person. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【参考范文】 I replied, thanking him for his honesty. I told him that my Kindle was more than just a device to me — it held my favourite books and years of memories. He responded almost immediately, saying he completely understood and would return it. I offered to pay him for his kindness, but he politely refused. He explained that keeping someone else’s treasured possession had never felt right to him. We exchanged a few more emails, and he suggested we meet at a café near my hotel before my flight back home. I agreed with relief and gratitude, counting the hours until our meeting. In the end, we met in person. He handed me the Kindle with both hands, smiling warmly. I offered him money as a token of gratitude, but he shook his head firmly. “Your books are precious to you — I could tell from your emails,” he said. I thanked him from the bottom of my heart, and in return, I gave him a book from my collection as a gift. He hesitated, then accepted with shining eyes. We parted with a handshake and a promise to stay in touch. I walked away, holding my Kindle close, knowing that the kindness of a stranger had given it back to me — and that was worth more than anything. 【语篇导读】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在南非旅行时遗失了Kindle电子书阅读器，发邮件询问后，从他人手中购得该阅读器的巴基斯坦年轻人主动回复邮件，并愿意归还。作者与对方邮件沟通后，两人相约线下见面，最终作者拿回Kindle，收获了陌生人带来的温暖。 【详解】 1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写作者回复邮件，向对方说明Kindle对自己的特殊意义，对方表示愿意归还，作者提出给予报酬被婉拒，二人约定线下见面。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写两人见面的场景，年轻人归还Kindle，作者再次想要给予报酬遭到拒绝，作者赠送一本书作为答谢，二人握手告别，作者感悟陌生人善意的珍贵。 2. 续写线索： 回复邮件→说明Kindle的意义→约定见面→线下相见→归还Kindle→赠送礼物→感悟善意 3.词汇激活： 行为类① 回应：respond/react② 拒绝：refuse/turn down③ 交换：exchange/swap 情绪类 ① 感激：gratitude/appreciation ② 笑：smile/grin 【点睛】【高分句型1】He explained that keeping someone else’s treasured possession had never felt right to him.(运用了that引导的宾语从句和动名词短语keeping…作主语) 【高分句型2】I walked away, holding my Kindle close, knowing that the kindness of a stranger had given it back to me — and that was worth more than anything.(运用了现在分词短语holding…, knowing…作伴随状语和that引导的宾语从句) 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。Excuse me, sir, visiting hours or over now.

The friendship kitchen was set up two years ago by Helen SHE, lived in a nearby village and would often visit in all men named Frank who lived on his own. They would spend afternoons talking and having tea together. But Helen soon realized Frank needed more social interaction with people around his age or with the same hobbies, so he contacted the authorities to help start a weekly event. At first, I was only held on sundays, but only a few people came. IT was then change to wednesdays and saturdays, which has worked wonders. Finally, let me conclude with an introduction of your main responsibility, ie. s. In this volunteer work, take orders, politely serve food and drinks, and generally keep everyone happy. Let's get started. 听力部分到此结束。 2026-2027学年江苏苏州上学期期中自编模拟卷 高三英语 (考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：150分) 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号等填写在答题卡和试卷指定位置上。 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7.5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．Where does this conversation take place?

I was chubby and uncoordinated（不协调的）— useless under pressure — and rushing to steal the ball, I took a stick directly to the mouth and tasted blood at once. Mike, one of the counselors, hurried over and put a hand on my shoulder. “You’re okay, buddy. Just walk it off.” Then I leaned forward and spat the broken pieces of my tooth into my palm. “Okaaaaay,” said Mike, backing away. “I’ll go call your mom.” At the dentist’s office, Dr. Iriana built up layer upon layer of composite resin（复合树脂）until he had shaped something roughly toothlike. To me it looked like a little white tombstone. The cap, he explained, was temporary. Naive boy that I was, I believed my tooth trouble was behind me. Then, in junior high, it began to discolor. My tooth seemed to age, fading like a paperback（平装书）left in the sun. I hated it because I was certain everyone else hated it too. So began my long era of tight-lipped, toothless grins. Decades later, I finally had it fixed. The new dentist was calm and kind. As she built up layers of tooth-colored resin, she asked now and then whether I was all right. The whole thing took less than an hour. Driving home, I kept opening and closing my mouth, my eyes moving between the road ahead and my reflection in the rear view mirror. For the first time in decades, I smiled an unbroken smile. More than three years have passed. No one seemed to care. I waited for people to notice, the way they do when you get a new pair of glasses or lose weight. But nothing. I was surprised, then a little wounded. It seems ridiculous, but I sometimes miss the snaggletooth that made my smile wild and singular. And I wonder: What are we trying to change — our teeth or ourselves? 24．How did the author break his front tooth? A．He fell and hit the wall. B．A stick struck him in the mouth. C．He bit something hard at a meal. D．A hockey hit him during the game. 25．Why does the author mention the counselor’s change of words — from “Just walk it off” to “I’ll go call your mom”? A．To criticise the camp for poor safety standards. B．To add humour and show the injury was serious. C．To explain why he gave up hockey for good. D．To show how calm and professional they were. 26．What does the underlined word“wounded” in the last paragraph most likely mean? A．Hurt in one’s feelings. B．Injured in the body. C．Made extremely angry. D．Damaged beyond repair. 27．What is the main message of the Text ? A．It is unwise to repair a tooth too early. B．People notice our looks less than we think. C．What needs changing is how we see ourselves. D．Modern dentistry easily repairs childhood dental damage C Athletic footwear has entered a new era of ambition. No longer content to promise just comfort or performance, Nike claims its shoes can activate the brain, heighten sensory awareness and even improve concentration by stimulating the bottom of the feet. “By studying perception, attention, and sensory feedback, we’re using the brain-body connection in new ways,” said Nike’s chief science officer. “It’s not just about running faster; it’s about feeling more focused and resilient.” It’s a convincing idea: The feet are rich in sensory receptors, so could stimulating them really sharpen the mind? Neuroscience suggests the reality is more complicated — and far less dramatic — than the marketing implies. The bottom of the feet contains thousands of mechanoreceptors that detect pressure, vibration and movement. Signals from these receptors travel through nerves up to an area of the brain called the somatosensory cortex, which maintains a map of the body. The feet occupy a meaningful part of this map, reflecting their importance in balance, posture, and movement. Because posture and movement are tightly linked to attention and stimulation, changes in sensory feedback from the feet can influence how stable, alert or sensible a person feels. In view of this, neurologists and physicians pay close attention to footwear in patients with balance disorders, neuropathy, or gait problems. Changing sensory input can alter (改变) how people move. But is influencing movement the same thing as enhancing cognition? Sensory input from the feet activates somatosensory regions of the brain, not meaning cognitive enhancement. Focus, attention, and executive function depend on distributed networks involving various other areas of the brain. They also rely on hormones that adjust the nervous system, such as dopamine and norepinephrine. Some studies suggest that mild sensory input may increase alertness in specific populations, such as older adults training to improve their balance or people in recovery from sensory loss, but these effects are modest and highly dependent on context. The most meaningful “mind-altering” effects a person can experience through physical fitness still come from sustained movement, training, sleep and attention, not from sense alone. Footwear may shape how the journey feels, but it is unlikely to change the destination. 28．What is the feature of Nike’s shoes in its claim? A．Offering treatment for patients. B．Stressing comfort and performance. C．Enhancing wearers’ cognition. D．Proving the brain-body connection. 29．What can we learn from Paragraph 4? A．The feet occupy the largest part in the brain’s body map. B．Foot-sensory signals can bring a certain sense of alertness. C．Mechanoreceptors are created inside people’s athletic footwear. D．Somatosensory cortex is mainly responsible for hormone release. 30．Which of the following might neurologists agree with? A．Shoes may not change real cognitive ability. B．Nike has opened a new era of sports science. C．Solid evidence can help Nike expand the market. D．All mind-altering effects come from footwear. 31．What can be implied from the last sentence of the text? A．Nike’s claim is partially overstated. B．Keeping fit is a final destination in life. C．The shape of footwear may be tailored. D．A long journey begins with suitable shoes. D More than 100,000 people in the United States are currently waiting for organ transplants, and many face long delays or rejection even when a suitable donor is found. One promising alternative is regenerative medicine, which aims to grow personalized organs using a patient’s own cells. Ensuring that oxygen and nutrients can reach every part of a newly grown organ is an ongoing challenge. Researchers at Stanford have created new tools to design and 3D print the incredibly complex vascular (血管的) trees needed to carry blood throughout an organ. The researchers built an algorithm (算法) to create vascular trees similar to native organ blood vessel structures. They ensured that the vasculature would evenly distribute blood and successfully shorten the time needed to generate the network. While 3D printers aren’t yet up to the task of printing such a fine-scale network, the researchers were able to design and print a vascular model with 500 branches. Using a 3D bio-printer, the researchers created a thick ring loaded with human cells and built a network of 25 vessels running through it. The researchers are quick to note that these vascular networks are not yet functional blood vessels — they don’t have muscle cells or anything else that they would need to work on their own. “This is the first step toward generating really complex vascular networks,” said Dominic Rütsche, one of the researchers. “We can print them at never-before-seen complexities, but they are not yet fully functional vessels. We’re working on that.” Turning these designs into functioning blood vessels is just one of the many tasks that the researchers are working on. “This is a critical step in the process,” Dominic said. “We have successfully generated enough heart cells from human stem cells to print the whole human heart, and now we can design a good, complex vascular tree to keep them fed and living. We are now actively putting the two together: cells and vasculature, at organ scale.” 32．What does Stanford’s research mainly focus on? A．Increasing available donor organs. B．Removing deadly organ rejections. C．Designing workable vascular networks. D．Developing personalized 3D bio-printers. 33．What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about concerning the research? A．Its principles. B．Its achievements. C．Its objectives. D．Its process. 34．How does Dominic describe the research? A．Practical but costly. B．Worthwhile but risky. C．Fruitful but questionable. D．Promising but immature. 35．What will the researchers do next? A．Employ stem cells to print whole organs. B．Integrate cells and vessels on a larger scale. C．Generate more cells for further experiments. D．Produce vascular trees to sustain heart cells. 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。 Why Being Sensitive is a Strength There are plenty of traits we take pride in but being “sensitive” is usually perceived as a weakness. It’s used to mean you’re fragile, thin-skinned, or just overreacting. The message sensitive people get is that they should “overcome” their sensitivity and “toughen up.” 36 Sensitive people are born to process information more deeply than others do, enabling them to notice what others miss, and have a vivid inner life. Such depth is profitable. 37 Many artists, musicians, and actors are themselves sensitive people. But it doesn’t end with the arts. The same ability translates to innovation. Many of our greatest thinkers and scientists have been sensitive people. They tend to be deep thinkers and end up seeing more possibilities and solutions. Another strength sensitive people have is their decision-making ability, which may give them an evolutionary advantage. In a computer simulation (模拟) of natural selection, creatures who spent more resources considering their options and comparing them to past results, as sensitive people do, came out ahead in the long term compared to less sensitive creatures. 38 In the wilderness, that might mean tracking down wild animals when everyone is hungry. But perhaps the greatest advantage of sensitive people is what we call the “Boost Effect.” The “Boost Effect” means that sensitive people get more of a boost from the same things that help anyone. 39 If you’re a sensitive person, you can activate this ability by cultivating a supportive environment around yourself and by seeking out resources such as training, therapy, or coaching. If any of this sounds like you, you might be more sensitive than you realize. If so, you have probably felt the pressure to hide it. But that’s a trap. 40 So stop hiding. Embrace it, and show it to the world. A．Trying to do so only cuts you off from your gift. B．However, sensitivity is not necessarily a drawback. C．They are energized by any form of training or support. D．The most well-known sensitive gift is perhaps creativity. E．That is because they are more knowledgeable and open-minded. F．They accumulated more resources over time and out-survived others. G．One of the benefits of sensitivity is that it makes people more committed. 第三部分 语言运用(共二节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分) Something magical is happening this summer: a group of high school students from the Golden Connections Club gather at Olive Community Services and learn some new skills — not from videos, but from real grandmas. The concept is quite simple: seniors teach kids 41 skills that once filled every household: sewing, ironing, cooking, and more. For Leena Albinali, a high school student and the club’s founder, this isn’t just an activity. It’s a 42 to bridge the gap between generations, while giving her peers (同龄人) a chance to 43 with elders, twice a week, in a(n) 44 way. “There is so much wisdom that lives in our 45 ,” she says. “So when I 46 many teens had never learned how to sew on a button or iron a shirt, I saw a(n) 47 : what if seniors could teach them? And so I recruited (招募) some peers to 48 the new group.” Every week involves both a craft and 49 session. One day, kids practice stitching (针脚). Another day, they learn how to make apple pies. There is laughter and burnt cookies, 50 buttons, spilled flour..., but it’s not about 51 . It’s about connection — where generations meet to share the 52 of creating something with their hands. This activity is part of Olive Community Services’ ongoing 53 to reduce senior loneliness. And now they’re also 54 youth. As one camper said, “Together, we’re not just 55 traditions — we’re creating new ones.” 41．A．interpersonal B．practical C．survival D．theoretical 42．A．mission B．compromise C．right D．struggle 43．A．match B．compete C．connect D．exercise 44．A．old-fashioned B．hands-on C．self-educated D．off-site 45．A．peers B．families C．teens D．seniors 46．A．assumed B．realized C．remembered D．admitted 47．A．opportunity B．challenge C．request D．priority 48．A．approve B．join C．train D．assess 49．A．fitness B．sewing C．designing D．cooking 50．A．misplaced B．fixed C．worn D．decorated 51．A．wisdom B．perfection C．enthusiasm D．creativity 52．A．burden B．memory C．delight D．truth 53．A．effort B．dream C．guidance D．initiative 54．A．comforting B．reuniting C．entertaining D．empowering 55．A．reflecting on B．adapting to C．passing down D．figuring out 第二节(共10小题；每小题1.5分 ，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 At Hopson One Mall in Yangpu district, Shanghai, hundreds of visitors line up at a popup store. They 56 (draw) by a popular item—squishy (捏捏) cake toys—colorful foam squeezables for stress relief and fashion. 57 ultra-squishy toys, this item has a firmer foam texture, great for desk decor (装饰), party gifts or easing pressure for kids and adults. The toys are so popular that many Southeast Asian tourists are paying special visits to China currently, 58 (shop) in Shanghai offline stores. After returning home, 59 they resell the toys at doubled prices, the products are still in great demand. In Yiwu, millions of bun-shaped decompression toys are about to board trucks for Zhoushan Port, waiting 60 (ship) to Europe and North America. China’s toy export data sends a signal: Chinese toy exports will reach where emotional 61 (consume) takes root worldwide. What drives this export trend is a mix of factors, including “China-Chic” design breakthroughs, sound supply chains and the appeal of emotional spending. Li Weiqing, 62 brand Molynk is one of the producers of squishy cake toys, says the brand aims for global layout. “ 63 (found) in 2024, our company set up branches in America, Japan and Spain with Shanghai as headquarters.” Dong Peng, 64 analyst, said: “In the past, Chinese toy exports did rely heavily on low-end OEM. Now these squishy toys act as cross-border 65 (hit), evolving from emotional goods into cultural carriers to meet people’s emotional needs.” 第四部分 写作(共两节, 满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) 你校英文报“Time Management”栏目正在征稿，请同学们就如何有效利用碎片时间，对复盘（reflect）、阅读（read）、放松（relax）这三件事按重要性进行排序，并阐述理由。 注意： （1）写作词数应为80个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Ranking My Spare Time Priorities ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第二节(满分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。 By the time I’d realized my Kindle was gone, I was already on my next flight. The year was 2014 and I was treating myself to a trip to South Africa before starting my first graduate job, but this was not an auspicious (吉兆的) beginning. I’d left the Kindle in the seat pocket in front of me during the 14-hour Sydney to Johannesburg leg and I was horrified. My e-reader was my constant companion and comfort, living under my pillow after I read myself to sleep every night. I had spent months curating (精心挑选) a selection of my favourite books, and now it was gone. Still, I was almost in Cape Town, and I couldn’t let it ruin my holiday. To me, South Africa was both foreign and familiar, the place of my parents’ birth but not my own. A few days later, my phone pinged (响了一下). An unauthorized user had tried to send a document to my Kindle account. A Google search of the email suggested it belonged to a young man from Pakistan. I thought it curious that my Kindle had resurfaced with a person who, like me, was from somewhere far away from the place it had been lost. I wondered what had brought him to South Africa and if he found the country as beautiful and vibrant as I did. I sent him an email, asking if he had found my Kindle and, if so, could he please return it. Almost instantly, I received a reply. He had bought the Kindle from someone and loved my book collection. He asked if he could keep it — he’d be happy to pay me for it but, if not, he would return it. I was touched by his enthusiasm for my book collection. Now that there was a prospect of getting my beloved Kindle back, I was eager to seize it. 注意： （1）写作词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 I replied, thanking him for his honesty. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ In the end, we met in person. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
