We want everyone to be able to explore otherwise inaccessible worlds, from the past to the present, and experience them as if they were unfolding before their eyes. ◆Life Chronicles □40 minutes From the first life forms to dinosaurs, then to large marine species, you explore lost worlds and different geological eras. Guided throughout your journey, you move freely through these fascinating, precisely recreated universes, and discover the great transformations that have shaped life on Earth. ◆Space Explorers □40 minutes The 40-minute immersive virtual reality experience draws from the Emmy Award-winning series of the same name. With 360° 3D shot during actual NASA missions inside and outside the International Space Station, this virtual journey allows the public to experience the “overview effect” live. ◆The Secret of the Builders of Khufu □43 minutes At daybreak, on the Giza plateau (高原), you discover the excitement of building the Great Pyramid. Between the banks of the Nile and the monumental construction sites, you observe the techniques, the know-how, and the women and men who made this extraordinary project possible. ◆Tonight with the Impressionists □45 minutes At the heart of this evening, you will meet Monet, Renoir, Degas and their contemporaries, as they prepare to revolutionize the codes of painting. Between workshops, cafes and exhibition spaces, you observe emerging works and witness the birth of a major artistic movement. Full price: Adults: € 29.50 per person Reduced price: € 24.50 per person (People with reduced mobility, under 18s, or students) From 4 people: € 21.50 per person 1.

C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍Eclipso虚拟现实文化体验项目，包含四类沉浸式体验项目内容以及不同人群对应的票价信息。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“We want everyone to be able to explore otherwise inaccessible worlds, from the past to the present, and experience them as if they were unfolding before their eyes.(我们希望每个人都能够探索原本难以抵达的世界，从过去到现在，仿佛亲眼见证它们展现在眼前一般去体验。)”可知，Eclipso承诺提供接触难以抵达世界的机会。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Space Explorers部分中的“The 40-minute immersive virtual reality experience draws from the Emmy Award-winning series of the same name.(这场40分钟的沉浸式虚拟现实体验改编自获得艾美奖的同名剧集。)”可知，Space Explorers改编自知名电视节目。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据文末票价信息中的“Full price: Adults: € 29.50 per person Reduced price: € 24.50 per person (People with reduced mobility, under 18s, or students)(全价：成人每人29.5欧元；优惠价：每人24.5欧元（行动不便人士、18岁以下青少年或学生）)”可知，一对成人加一名未成年人，总费用为29.5+29.5+24.5=83.5欧元。 B When James Joyce turned up in Paris in 1920, the writer had with him the manuscript-in-progress that would become a landmark of modern literature. At a party Joyce met Sylvia Beach, an American owner of an English-language bookstore called Shakespeare and Company. Beach had been looking to bring herself and her small business to the attention of the literary world, and she recognized the opportunity in the figure of Joyce and his massive work called Ulysses. By the time Joyce showed Beach the manuscript of his boundary-pushing work, he had given up finding a publisher in England or America. Joyce’s style was anything but ordinary, with each episode of the novel having a distinctive experimental approach. Joyce was firm in fighting for his right to use words that went beyond the societal norms of his era. However, many publishers weren’t willing to take the legal risk of printing his works. But the book industry in France operated under different conditions, and it was possible for Ulysses to appear there. Beach decided to publish Ulysses herself. Taking on this tough challenge, Beach overcame numerous obstacles. For one thing, Joyce was losing his eyesight during the time he was composing Ulysses. Often to keep track of the pages, he marked them up with bold colored crayons. Beach had to find typists who could help tame (理顺) Joyce’s messy manuscript into something that could be typeset. With very limited funds, she needed someone who would agree to do the work first and get paid later. And in addition to being his publisher, she provided a multitude of other services for him, acting as his secretary, banker, real estate agent, medical consultant, and more. Ulysses appeared in 1922, just in time for Joyce’s 40th birthday. Today, a century after the publication of Ulysses, Sylvia Beach remains a hero to many: she is the typical bookstore owner, independent publisher, and champion of literature’s freedom to experiment, challenge, and shock. 4. What opportunity did Beach recognize in Joyce and his work? A. To become a famous writer herself. B. To raise the profile of her bookstore. C. To help Joyce win fame worldwide. D. To build a bridge for literary exchange. 5. What made Ulysses hard for publishers to accept? A. Its ordinary writing style. B. Its unconventional language. C. Its illegal experimental approach. D. Its complex French translation. 6. What did Beach manage to do in publishing Ulysses? A. Borrow money from a local bank. B. Persuade Joyce to use a typewriter. C. Find typists willing to be paid later. D. Rewrite the messy manuscript herself. 7. What role is Sylvia Beach cast in by the last paragraph? A. A strict editor. B. A wise observer. C. A devoted secretary. D. A fearless pioneer. 【答案】4. B 5. B 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述西尔维娅·毕奇冒险出版《尤利西斯》，助力现代文学经典诞生。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Beach had been looking to bring herself and her small business to the attention of the literary world, and she recognized the opportunity in the figure of Joyce and his massive work called Ulysses.(毕奇一直希望让自己和这家小店获得文学界的关注，她在乔伊斯和他那部鸿篇巨著《尤利西斯》身上看到了机遇。)”可知，一直希望让自己和书店获得文学界的关注，乔伊斯和他的作品正是提升书店知名度的契机。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Joyce was firm in fighting for his right to use words that went beyond the societal norms of his era. However, many publishers weren’t willing to take the legal risk of printing his works.(乔伊斯坚定捍卫自己的权利，使用那些突破他所处时代社会规范的文字。然而，许多出版商不愿承担出版这部作品带来的法律风险。)”可知，不落俗套、违背常规的语言让出版商难以接受《尤利西斯》。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Beach had to find typists who could help tame (理顺) Joyce’s messy manuscript into something that could be typeset. With very limited funds, she needed someone who would agree to do the work first and get paid later.(毕奇必须找到打字员，帮忙把乔伊斯凌乱的手稿整理成可供排版的文稿。她资金十分有限，需要有人愿意先完成工作、延后领取报酬。)”可知，在出版《尤利西斯》的过程中毕奇成功做到了找到愿意延后拿酬劳的打字员。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Sylvia Beach remains a hero to many: she is the typical bookstore owner, independent publisher, and champion of literature’s freedom to experiment, challenge, and shock.(西尔维娅・毕奇在很多人心中仍是英雄：她是典型的书店店主、独立出版商，捍卫文学自由，支持文学去实验、去挑战、去震撼世人。)”可推知，最后一段把西尔维娅・毕奇塑造成无畏的先驱这个角色。 C Have you ever felt the need to have something unique (aka niche) about yourself, something that makes you stand out from everyone else? On social media today, there is a growing trend around being “niche”. The more specific and unusual your hobbies are, the more interesting you seem as a person. It’s no longer enough to say you like classical literature. It becomes more interesting if you say you only read authors like the Brontë Sisters. The same applies to everyday things. Being a coffee lover is no longer just about liking coffee, but about preferring something more mysterious, like espresso instead of a basic latte. This trend reflects the growth of small communities. People with very specific interests can now find each other more easily, forming fandoms and spaces that feel genuinely personal. It also encourages people to explore their interests more deeply. Instead of staying on the surface, many begin to engage more seriously with what they like. In that sense, niche culture can push people toward growth and discovery. However, there is another side to this trend. What happens if people don’t consider your interests “niche enough”? For example, maybe you genuinely enjoy reading young adult fantasy, something widely popular and not particularly rare. Does that make you less interesting? Should you start presenting yourself differently just to appear more unique? This is where the problem begins. When uniqueness becomes an expectation, it can easily turn into performance. Instead of choosing hobbies based on real interest, people may start choosing them based on how they look to others. At that point, being “niche” becomes a way to build an image rather than express who you are. On the one hand, niche culture helps people find communities, explore new ideas and express themselves more freely. On the other hand, it turns individuality into something performative. So, the actual question we should ask is not how unique our interests are, but how genuinely we engage with them. What makes someone interesting is not how rare their hobbies look online, but how real they are. 8. Which of the following best illustrates being “niche”? A. David enjoys reading classical literature. B. Sarah often jogs in the neighborhood park. C. Emily collects movie posters from the 1960s. D. Michael drinks a basic latte at a chain store daily. 9. How does niche culture benefit people? A. Motivating serious hobby pursuit. B. Regulating behaviors of fandoms. C. Creating more local community jobs. D. Breaking the barriers between groups. 10. When might being “niche” be insincere? A. When one seeks a desired image. B. When people lack real uniqueness. C. When interests grow truly popular. D. When social expectations are dropped. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. How to Stand out Online B. Join a Niche Community C. The Dark Side of Hobbies D. Niche Culture: Trend or Trap 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了当下“小众文化”的流行趋势，既阐述了小众文化能帮助人们找到同好社群、推动人们深入探索兴趣的积极意义，也指出了当独特沦为外在期待时，容易演变成人设表演的潜在问题，最后点明真正的吸引力源于热爱的真诚度而非爱好的稀有度。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“The more specific and unusual your hobbies are, the more interesting you seem as a person. It’s no longer enough to say you like classical literature. It becomes more interesting if you say you only read authors like the Brontë Sisters. (你的爱好越具体、越不寻常，你这个人看起来就越有趣。只说你喜欢古典文学已经不够了。如果你说你只读勃朗特姐妹这类作家的作品，就会显得更有意思。)”可知，“niche”的核心是具体、小众且区别于大众普遍喜好。由此推知，收集20世纪60年代的电影海报属于具体且偏冷门的爱好，最符合“niche”的特征。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“It also encourages people to explore their interests more deeply. Instead of staying on the surface, many begin to engage more seriously with what they like. In that sense, niche culture can push people toward growth and discovery. (它也鼓励人们更深入地探索自己的兴趣。许多人不再停留在表面，而是开始更认真地投入到自己喜欢的事物中。从这个意义上说，小众文化能推动人们成长和探索。)”可知，小众文化能激励人们认真深入地追求爱好，这是其带来的益处。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“When uniqueness becomes an expectation, it can easily turn into performance. Instead of choosing hobbies based on real interest, people may start choosing them based on how they look to others. At that point, being “niche” becomes a way to build an image rather than express who you are. (当独特成为一种期待，它很容易就会变成表演。人们可能不再基于真正的兴趣选择爱好，而是基于这些爱好在别人眼中的样子来选择。在这种情况下，追求‘小众’就成了一种塑造人设的方式，而非表达自我。)”可知，当人们为了打造想要的外在形象而去追求“小众”时，这种行为就是不真诚的。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。文章先引出“小众文化”的流行现象，再分别论述其积极影响与存在的问题，最后在尾段通过主旨句“On the one hand, niche culture helps people find communities, explore new ideas and express themselves more freely. On the other hand, it turns individuality into something performative. (一方面，小众文化帮助人们找到同好社群、探索新想法、更自由地表达自我；另一方面，它将个体特质变成了表演性的人设。)”总结全文，辩证地揭示了小众文化兼具潮流价值与潜在陷阱的双重属性。D项表示“小众文化：潮流还是陷阱”，涵盖本文的主旨，适合作本文的标题。 D You open a free weather app. Seconds later, an ad for running shoes appears. Have you ever wondered how much the advertiser paid to reach you? When you visit a website or open an app, your personal information, including location, device type, and browsing habits, is packaged into an “ad request.” This request is sent to an ad marketplace. Advertisers then bid (竞拍) in real time for the chance to show you an ad. The highest bidder wins, and their ad appears on your screen. All of this happens in less than 100 milliseconds. This brings us to an uncomfortable truth: if you are not paying for the product, you are the product. Instead of charging you money, advertisers collect your data and sell access to your attention. You are what is being traded. So what price do advertisers put on a person? To get reliable figures, researchers ran their own advertising campaigns. They analyzed one full year of mobile browsing data from 1,600 users. It turned out that a typical user cost advertisers only about 2.5 cents over the year. Most people cost advertisers less than 10 cents in total. But about 2% of users cost between one and ten dollars. Who are these valuable individuals? Those who share data about their exact location, frequent purchases, or specific interests are considered far more valuable. Some might say this system works for everyone: users get free content, advertisers, advertisement potential customers, and websites earn money. But privacy experts ask a harder question: How many of us truly understand what we are giving away? Each click, each search, each location update becomes a data point. Together, these points create a detailed picture of who you are — sometimes more detailed than you would ever accept. The team later developed a browser tool to show users their true price. Their goal is simple: transparency (公开透明). After all, if you are the product, should you not know what you are worth? 12. How does an ad reach a user? A. The users choose ads themselves. B. Marketplaces sell the user’s identity. C. Advertisers compete to display ads. D. Apps select one from browsing history. 13. What can we learn about the research findings? A. Richer data increase users’ advertising value. B. Purchase history is the top pricing factor. C. High-value users form a large group. D. Each ad costs about 2.5 cents. 14. Which of the following may privacy experts suggest? A. Compare prices across advertising marketplaces. B. Share details for personalized ads. C. Stop using free online services. D. Weigh free content against data exposure. 15. What is the author’s attitude toward the system? A. Strongly opposed. B. Cautiously critical. C. Largely neutral. D. Generally supportive. 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了免费应用背后的实时广告竞价机制，揭示免费产品中用户本身成为交易商品的事实，通过调研数据说明用户数据丰富度与广告价值的关联，呼吁公众关注个人数据隐私，提升广告定价透明度。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Advertisers then bid (竞拍) in real time for the chance to show you an ad. The highest bidder wins, and their ad appears on your screen.(随后广告主会实时竞拍向你展示广告的机会，出价最高者胜出，其广告就会出现在你的屏幕上)”可知，广告是通过广告商竞争投放广告送到用户面前的。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“It turned out that a typical user cost advertisers only about 2.5 cents over the year. Most people cost advertisers less than 10 cents in total. But about 2% of users cost between one and ten dollars. Who are these valuable individuals? Those who share data about their exact location, frequent purchases, or specific interests are considered far more valuable.(结果显示，一年内，一个普通用户给广告商带来的成本仅约2.5美分。广告商为大多数用户总共支付的费用不到10美分。但大约2%的用户成本在1至10美元之间。这些高价值人群是谁？那些分享精确位置、高频消费记录或是特定兴趣信息的人，被认为价值要高得多)”可知，从研究结果我们能得知更丰富的数据会提升用户的广告价值。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“But privacy experts ask a harder question: How many of us truly understand what we are giving away? Each click, each search, each location update becomes a data point.(但隐私专家提出了一个更尖锐的问题：我们当中有多少人真正明白自己正在交出什么？每一次点击、每一次搜索、每一次位置更新，都会成为一个数据点)”可知，隐私专家可能会提出在免费内容和数据泄露之间权衡这个建议。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“This brings us to an uncomfortable truth: if you are not paying for the product, you are the product.(这让我们面对一个令人不安的真相：如果你没有为产品付费，那么你自己就是产品)”，第五段“Some might say this system works for everyone: users get free content, advertisers find potential customers, and websites earn money. (有些人可能会说这套机制对所有人都有利：用户能获取免费内容，广告主能找到潜在客户，网站也能赚到钱)”以及最后一段“After all, if you are the product, should you not know what you are worth?(说到底，如果你本身就是商品，难道不该知道自己价值多少吗？)”可知，作者承认有人认为这套系统对各方都有利，但同时指出这个体系存在隐私隐患，主张提高透明度，不是全盘否定，是谨慎批判。 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。 For decades, the call to “go green” in cities has often translated into planting more trees and creating parks. However, emerging research suggests that our well-intentioned efforts might sometimes be misplaced. ____16____ It challenges the simple belief that all planting is equally beneficial and pushes for a smarter, science-based approach. One key insight is that not all trees are equal in an urban setting. While native trees are crucial for supporting local wildlife, some non-native species might actually be better suited to city conditions. ____17____ Owing to this, they can better bear pollution, compacted (压实的) soil, and the “heat island” effect, thus surviving longer and providing continuous benefits. ____18____ A study comparing two city squares — one with a few large trees and the other with many thick green bushes — found the latter was often regarded as less safe and welcoming by residents. This highlights that urban greening must balance ecological goals with human psychology and social space needs. Water management is another critical factor often overlooked. Traditional grasslands and many plants for decoration require significant water supply. Therefore, a shift towards water-wise landscape designs, featuring drought-resistant plants and water easy-going surfaces, is gaining wide acceptance. ____19____ Furthermore, the location of green spaces matters greatly. Planting trees in a narrow street canyon (峡谷) might trap pollution at street level, worsening air quality for the local residents. ____20____ Ecologists and urban biologists now use the sustainable modelling to determine the species and placement to maximize air purification and cooling effects in cities. Ultimately, creating truly sustainable cities with the “bio-design” requires integrating ecology, hydrology, and social needs into every greening decision. A. They may have deeper roots or higher tolerance. B. Urban greening often fails to account for people’s needs. C. This is where the concept “bio-design” becomes essential. D. It is necessary to plant more fast-growing trees among high-rises. E. So the cost of maintaining these green spaces gets higher for water use. F. These novel approaches really help conserve and recharge groundwater. G. In contrast, planting a mix of trees and bushes in parks creates clean-air zones. 【答案】16. C 17. A 18. B 19. F 20. G 【解析】 【导语】主要介绍城市绿化不能简单种树，需结合生物设计，兼顾生态、水文与人们的需求。 【16题详解】 根据空前的“However, emerging research suggests that our well-intentioned efforts might sometimes be misplaced.(然而，新研究表明我们善意的举措有时可能并不合适。)”以及空后的“It challenges the simple belief that all planting is equally beneficial and pushes for a smarter, science-based approach.(它挑战了所有植树都同样有益的简单看法，倡导更科学合理的方法。)”可知，前文提出传统城市绿化存在误区，后文介绍新理念带来的改变，空格引出“生物设计”这一核心概念。C选项“This is where the concept “bio-design” becomes essential(这正是“生物设计”理念发挥关键作用的地方)”中的This指代上文传统绿化存在偏差的现状，It指代the concept“bio-design”，前后衔接紧密。 【17题详解】 根据空前的“While native trees are crucial for supporting local wildlife, some non-native species might actually be better suited to city conditions.(虽然本土树木对支撑本地野生动物至关重要，但一些外来树种实际上更适应城市环境。)”以及空后的“Owing to this, they can better bear pollution, compacted (压实的) soil, and the “heat island” effect, thus surviving longer and providing continuous benefits. (正因如此，它们能更好承受污染、压实土壤以及热岛效应，存活更久并持续发挥作用。)”可知，前文指出部分外来树种更适合城市环境，后文说明它们耐受恶劣环境的结果，空格需要介绍这类树种自身优势。A选项“They may have deeper roots or higher tolerance(它们可能拥有更深的根系或更强的耐受能力)”中的They指代上文提到的non-native species，解释后文Owing to this的原因。 【18题详解】 根据空后的“A study comparing two city squares — one with a few large trees and the other with many thick green bushes — found the latter was often regarded as less safe and welcoming by residents. This highlights that urban greening must balance ecological goals with human psychology and social space needs.(一项对比两个城市广场的研究——一处有几棵大树，另一处有茂密灌木丛——发现居民通常认为后者安全性与舒适度更低。这表明城市绿化必须平衡生态目标与人的心理、社会空间需求。)”可知，本段用研究实例说明绿化需要考虑人的感受，空格为本段主题句，点明绿化忽略人的需求这一问题。B选项“Urban greening often fails to account for people’s needs(城市绿化常常忽略人们的需求)”总领本段，引出下文的研究例子。 【19题详解】 根据空前的“Therefore, a shift towards water-wise landscape designs, featuring drought-resistant plants and water easy-going surfaces, is gaining wide acceptance.(因此，转向节水型景观设计，选用耐旱植物和易于排水的表面材料，正被广泛认可。)”可知，前文提出节水景观设计方案，空格说明这类设计带来的水文方面好处。F选项“These novel approaches really help conserve and recharge groundwater(这些新方法有助于涵养和补充地下水)”中的These novel approaches指代前文节水景观设计，承接上文。 【20题详解】 根据空前的“Planting trees in a narrow street canyon (峡谷)might trap pollution at street level, worsening air quality for the local residents.(在狭窄街道峡谷种树可能将污染物困在路面，恶化当地居民空气质量。)”以及空后的“Ecologists and urban biologists now use the sustainable modelling to determine the species and placement to maximize air purification and cooling effects in cities.(生态学家与城市生物学家现在利用可持续模型确定树种与栽种位置，最大限度实现城市空气净化与降温效果。)”可知，前文介绍一种不利的植树选址，后文说明科学选址的做法，空格给出对比之下合理的绿化方案。G选项“In contrast, planting a mix of trees and bushes in parks creates clean-air zones(相比之下，在公园混合种植乔木与灌木可以打造洁净空气区)”中的In contrast与前文不良选址形成对比，逻辑通顺。 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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 When I first picked up a fountain pen, I couldn’t understand why anyone would bother with such an outdated instrument. My grandfather’s eyes ____21____ like a child discovering a hidden treasure. To him, the act of writing wasn’t just about putting words on paper — it was a ____22____ practice. Writing was about carefully ____23____ thoughts and communicating them with precision (精准) and care. As a teenager in the digital age, I found the leaking ink and the scratchy nib (笔尖) more of an ____24____ than anything else. But my view began to change when I cleaned out his roof space last summer. While ____25____ boxes, I came across a wooden box filled with letters — not just letters he had received, but drafts of his own. One letter, written to the local mayor about the ____26____ of a neighborhood park, wasn’t just a list of complaints. Instead, he had ____27____ the scene of elderly men playing chess in the shade, the distant sound of children laughing, and the general peaceful ____28____ of the area. The writing was both elegant and firm, ____29____ the mayor to consider the value of community spaces. It was then that I understood. My grandfather didn’t write simply to communicate information. His letters were a ____30____ of love and respect, intended to give the reader the time and attention they ____31____. He wasn’t writing for quick ____32____ as I often did with my text messages, but for lasting impact. I began using that old fountain pen again. ____33____, my hand seized up, and I found it frustrating to write at the pace my thoughts ____34____. But gradually, the slow ink flow forced me to slow down and think deeply about every word. Writing became more than just a ____35____ — it became a way of truly reflecting on my thoughts, my emotions, and my words. 21. A. narrowed B. lowered C. glowed D. closed 22.

As the running team captain, I took double responsibility. I needed to compete for a top position and help my best friend Ben qualify for the school team. Ben was a fast runner but lacked steady endurance, which caused him to collapse from tiredness and fail to finish last year’s race. To help him achieve his goal, I followed a private arrangement from my coach. I would act as his pacer in the tryout, setting a steady early speed to help him build a comfortable running rhythm and preserve energy for the final stage. The plan was practical, yet it brought me inner unease. Ben always saw me as a fair competitor and trusted me to race side by side with him. The tryout took place on a misty morning. When the starting gun fired, all runners rushed forward at full speed. I kept a proper lead over Ben to control the pace, constantly aware of his heavy breathing behind me. After running two kilometers, I looked back and found Ben struggling with exhaustion but still closely following my footsteps with full trust. An unexpected accident occurred during the race. My left shoelace came loose, making me trip and fall on the grass. Ben slowed down immediately, caught in a dilemma between pursuing his dream and caring for me. I struggled to my feet and signaled for him to keep running. We continued the race soon, but my ankle began to ache badly. I could no longer maintain the steady pace, and we gradually fell behind the leading group. Surprisingly, Ben gave up his competitive speed and adjusted his stride to match my awkward movement. Watching his considerate choice, I felt complicated inside, knowing my well-intentioned plan had put us both in an awkward situation. 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: Hardly holding back the pain, I whispered to Ben, “Go ahead. Win this for us.” __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: When the results were announced later, Ben sought me out, holding the team list. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 Hardly holding back the pain, I whispered to Ben, “Go ahead. Win this for us.” Ben hesitated only a moment, his eyes moving quickly between my badly-twisted ankle and the runners moving ahead. Then, with a deep breath, he rushed forward. Watching him disappear into the mist, I clenched my jaw and pulled myself to my feet. Each step brought sharp pain to my ankle, yet I refused to give up. Step by painful step, I dragged myself on until the finish line came into sight. Crossing it, I fell onto the grass, chest rising and falling fast and my leg aching badly, yet quiet pride rose inside me: I had finished what I had started. When the results were announced later, Ben sought me out, holding the team list. His name stood fourth on the list, yet his face showed no joy, only guilt. “I got in,” he muttered, eyes looking down. “But I left you behind.” Seeing how upset he was, I forced a smile and held his shoulder. “You ran your race; I ran mine. We tried our best separately and celebrated together.” His nervous body slowly relaxed. Thinking back on everything, I realized that while the team list gave Ben a place, our friendship gained something more valuable: true friendship is built by respecting each other’s efforts even when we go different ways. In that sense, we had both won. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作为跑步队长的作者肩负双重责任：既要争取优异成绩，又要帮助好友Ben通过选拔赛。教练安排作者为Ben充当配速员，但作者对此心存不安，因为Ben一直视他为公平的竞争者。比赛中作者不慎扭伤脚踝，Ben放弃追赶机会放慢脚步配合作者，令作者内心复杂。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写Ben在犹豫后听从建议冲向终点，以及作者忍痛坚持完成比赛的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写Ben因自己入选但中途抛下受伤的作者前进感到内疚，以及作者开导他并从中领悟到真正友谊的真谛。 2. 续写线索： 催促Ben前进——Ben犹豫后冲刺——作者忍痛完赛——成绩公布——Ben内疚——作者安慰——领悟友谊真谛 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①猛冲；飞奔：rush/dash ②消失：disappear/vanish/fade 情绪类 ① 痛苦的：painful/bitter ② 难过的；心烦的：upset/gloomy/depressed 【点睛】【高分句型1】Watching him disappear into the mist, I clenched my jaw and pulled myself to my feet.(运用了现在分词作状语) 【高分句型2】Crossing it, I fell onto the grass, chest rising and falling fast and my leg aching badly, yet quiet pride rose inside me: I had finished what I had started.(运用了现在分词作状语、独立主格结构以及what引导的宾语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 颐华高复2026级第三次月考 英语试题 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 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。每段录音读两遍。 1.

B When James Joyce turned up in Paris in 1920, the writer had with him the manuscript-in-progress that would become a landmark of modern literature. At a party Joyce met Sylvia Beach, an American owner of an English-language bookstore called Shakespeare and Company. Beach had been looking to bring herself and her small business to the attention of the literary world, and she recognized the opportunity in the figure of Joyce and his massive work called Ulysses. By the time Joyce showed Beach the manuscript of his boundary-pushing work, he had given up finding a publisher in England or America. Joyce’s style was anything but ordinary, with each episode of the novel having a distinctive experimental approach. Joyce was firm in fighting for his right to use words that went beyond the societal norms of his era. However, many publishers weren’t willing to take the legal risk of printing his works. But the book industry in France operated under different conditions, and it was possible for Ulysses to appear there. Beach decided to publish Ulysses herself. Taking on this tough challenge, Beach overcame numerous obstacles. For one thing, Joyce was losing his eyesight during the time he was composing Ulysses. Often to keep track of the pages, he marked them up with bold colored crayons. Beach had to find typists who could help tame (理顺) Joyce’s messy manuscript into something that could be typeset. With very limited funds, she needed someone who would agree to do the work first and get paid later. And in addition to being his publisher, she provided a multitude of other services for him, acting as his secretary, banker, real estate agent, medical consultant, and more. Ulysses appeared in 1922, just in time for Joyce’s 40th birthday. Today, a century after the publication of Ulysses, Sylvia Beach remains a hero to many: she is the typical bookstore owner, independent publisher, and champion of literature’s freedom to experiment, challenge, and shock. 4. What opportunity did Beach recognize in Joyce and his work? A. To become a famous writer herself. B. To raise the profile of her bookstore. C. To help Joyce win fame worldwide. D. To build a bridge for literary exchange. 5. What made Ulysses hard for publishers to accept? A. Its ordinary writing style. B. Its unconventional language. C. Its illegal experimental approach. D. Its complex French translation. 6. What did Beach manage to do in publishing Ulysses? A. Borrow money from a local bank. B. Persuade Joyce to use a typewriter. C. Find typists willing to be paid later. D. Rewrite the messy manuscript herself. 7. What role is Sylvia Beach cast in by the last paragraph? A. A strict editor. B. A wise observer. C. A devoted secretary. D. A fearless pioneer. C Have you ever felt the need to have something unique (aka niche) about yourself, something that makes you stand out from everyone else? On social media today, there is a growing trend around being “niche”. The more specific and unusual your hobbies are, the more interesting you seem as a person. It’s no longer enough to say you like classical literature. It becomes more interesting if you say you only read authors like the Brontë Sisters. The same applies to everyday things. Being a coffee lover is no longer just about liking coffee, but about preferring something more mysterious, like espresso instead of a basic latte. This trend reflects the growth of small communities. People with very specific interests can now find each other more easily, forming fandoms and spaces that feel genuinely personal. It also encourages people to explore their interests more deeply. Instead of staying on the surface, many begin to engage more seriously with what they like. In that sense, niche culture can push people toward growth and discovery. However, there is another side to this trend. What happens if people don’t consider your interests “niche enough”? For example, maybe you genuinely enjoy reading young adult fantasy, something widely popular and not particularly rare. Does that make you less interesting? Should you start presenting yourself differently just to appear more unique? This is where the problem begins. When uniqueness becomes an expectation, it can easily turn into performance. Instead of choosing hobbies based on real interest, people may start choosing them based on how they look to others. At that point, being “niche” becomes a way to build an image rather than express who you are. On the one hand, niche culture helps people find communities, explore new ideas and express themselves more freely. On the other hand, it turns individuality into something performative. So, the actual question we should ask is not how unique our interests are, but how genuinely we engage with them. What makes someone interesting is not how rare their hobbies look online, but how real they are. 8. Which of the following best illustrates being “niche”? A. David enjoys reading classical literature. B. Sarah often jogs in the neighborhood park. C. Emily collects movie posters from the 1960s. D. Michael drinks a basic latte at a chain store daily. 9. How does niche culture benefit people? A. Motivating serious hobby pursuit. B. Regulating behaviors of fandoms. C. Creating more local community jobs. D. Breaking the barriers between groups. 10. When might being “niche” be insincere? A. When one seeks a desired image. B. When people lack real uniqueness. C. When interests grow truly popular. D. When social expectations are dropped. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. How to Stand out Online B. Join a Niche Community C. The Dark Side of Hobbies D. Niche Culture: Trend or Trap D You open a free weather app. Seconds later, an ad for running shoes appears. Have you ever wondered how much the advertiser paid to reach you? When you visit a website or open an app, your personal information, including location, device type, and browsing habits, is packaged into an “ad request.” This request is sent to an ad marketplace. Advertisers then bid (竞拍) in real time for the chance to show you an ad. The highest bidder wins, and their ad appears on your screen. All of this happens in less than 100 milliseconds. This brings us to an uncomfortable truth: if you are not paying for the product, you are the product. Instead of charging you money, advertisers collect your data and sell access to your attention. You are what is being traded. So what price do advertisers put on a person? To get reliable figures, researchers ran their own advertising campaigns. They analyzed one full year of mobile browsing data from 1,600 users. It turned out that a typical user cost advertisers only about 2.5 cents over the year. Most people cost advertisers less than 10 cents in total. But about 2% of users cost between one and ten dollars. Who are these valuable individuals? Those who share data about their exact location, frequent purchases, or specific interests are considered far more valuable. Some might say this system works for everyone: users get free content, advertisers, advertisement potential customers, and websites earn money. But privacy experts ask a harder question: How many of us truly understand what we are giving away? Each click, each search, each location update becomes a data point. Together, these points create a detailed picture of who you are — sometimes more detailed than you would ever accept. The team later developed a browser tool to show users their true price. Their goal is simple: transparency (公开透明). After all, if you are the product, should you not know what you are worth? 12. How does an ad reach a user? A. The users choose ads themselves. B. Marketplaces sell the user’s identity. C. Advertisers compete to display ads. D. Apps select one from browsing history. 13. What can we learn about the research findings? A. Richer data increase users’ advertising value. B. Purchase history is the top pricing factor. C. High-value users form a large group. D. Each ad costs about 2.5 cents. 14.

However, emerging research suggests that our well-intentioned efforts might sometimes be misplaced. ____16____ It challenges the simple belief that all planting is equally beneficial and pushes for a smarter, science-based approach. One key insight is that not all trees are equal in an urban setting. While native trees are crucial for supporting local wildlife, some non-native species might actually be better suited to city conditions. ____17____ Owing to this, they can better bear pollution, compacted (压实的) soil, and the “heat island” effect, thus surviving longer and providing continuous benefits. ____18____ A study comparing two city squares — one with a few large trees and the other with many thick green bushes — found the latter was often regarded as less safe and welcoming by residents. This highlights that urban greening must balance ecological goals with human psychology and social space needs. Water management is another critical factor often overlooked. Traditional grasslands and many plants for decoration require significant water supply. Therefore, a shift towards water-wise landscape designs, featuring drought-resistant plants and water easy-going surfaces, is gaining wide acceptance. ____19____ Furthermore, the location of green spaces matters greatly. Planting trees in a narrow street canyon (峡谷) might trap pollution at street level, worsening air quality for the local residents. ____20____ Ecologists and urban biologists now use the sustainable modelling to determine the species and placement to maximize air purification and cooling effects in cities. Ultimately, creating truly sustainable cities with the “bio-design” requires integrating ecology, hydrology, and social needs into every greening decision. A. They may have deeper roots or higher tolerance. B. Urban greening often fails to account for people’s needs. C. This is where the concept “bio-design” becomes essential. D. It is necessary to plant more fast-growing trees among high-rises. E. So the cost of maintaining these green spaces gets higher for water use. F. These novel approaches really help conserve and recharge groundwater. G. In contrast, planting a mix of trees and bushes in parks creates clean-air zones. 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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 When I first picked up a fountain pen, I couldn’t understand why anyone would bother with such an outdated instrument.

As the running team captain, I took double responsibility. I needed to compete for a top position and help my best friend Ben qualify for the school team. Ben was a fast runner but lacked steady endurance, which caused him to collapse from tiredness and fail to finish last year’s race. To help him achieve his goal, I followed a private arrangement from my coach. I would act as his pacer in the tryout, setting a steady early speed to help him build a comfortable running rhythm and preserve energy for the final stage. The plan was practical, yet it brought me inner unease. Ben always saw me as a fair competitor and trusted me to race side by side with him. The tryout took place on a misty morning. When the starting gun fired, all runners rushed forward at full speed. I kept a proper lead over Ben to control the pace, constantly aware of his heavy breathing behind me. After running two kilometers, I looked back and found Ben struggling with exhaustion but still closely following my footsteps with full trust. An unexpected accident occurred during the race. My left shoelace came loose, making me trip and fall on the grass. Ben slowed down immediately, caught in a dilemma between pursuing his dream and caring for me. I struggled to my feet and signaled for him to keep running. We continued the race soon, but my ankle began to ache badly. I could no longer maintain the steady pace, and we gradually fell behind the leading group. Surprisingly, Ben gave up his competitive speed and adjusted his stride to match my awkward movement. Watching his considerate choice, I felt complicated inside, knowing my well-intentioned plan had put us both in an awkward situation. 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: Hardly holding back the pain, I whispered to Ben, “Go ahead. Win this for us.” __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: When the results were announced later, Ben sought me out, holding the team list. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
