I use a smartwatch, order groceries online, and can even park using my car’s sensors. So, when my 15-year-old daughter, Emma, declared my wardrobe (衣橱) a “disaster zone” and offered a “digital makeover”, I foolishly agreed. It started with a simple app. Emma took photos of all my clothes, and the app promised the perfect daily outfit based on the weather, my calendar, and a color-matching algorithm (算法). I was impressed. For the first week, it was a game-changer. “Wear the blue shirt with the grey trousers,” the app would command, and I’d walk into the office feeling like a fashion star. Trouble began quietly. The app, perhaps influenced by Emma’s own tastes, started suggesting items I’d forgotten — a pair of bright orange shorts I’d bought for a holiday ten years ago. When I ignored it, the app lowered my “style score”, meaningless but frustrating. Then, the weather update failed, insisting snow in July and telling me to wear my heaviest coat. My colleagues thought I had lost my mind. I tried to override the app, but Emma had locked me out of “Expert Mode”. Feeling defeated, I told all of this to my wife. She laughed and reminded me of something I’d forgotten: I don’t have a style score; I have a mirror. I don’t have an algorithm for rain; I have a weather app on my phone. And most importantly, I don’t need a digital Emma; I have a real one, and her opinion matters far more than any app’s. So, I uninstalled the app. My wardrobe is back to its old, familiar chaos. And it feels just right. The only opinion that still counts is the one I hear from the hallway every morning: “Dad, you’re wearing that?” 24. How did the author find the app’s first-week suggestions? A. Helpful and exciting. B. Complex and costly. C. Practical and creative. D. Confusing and risky. 25. Why did the author’s colleagues think he had lost his mind? A. He ignored the app’s suggestions. B. He wore his thickest clothes in July. C. He wore orange shorts to the office. D. He locked himself out of Expert Mode. 26. How does the author’s wife view the app? A. It makes unreliable predictions. B. It badly needs improvement. C. It fully replaces human judgement. D. It only serves as a reference. 27. What message is conveyed in the text? A. Digital tools can ruin our daily style. B. Teenagers know more about technology. C. Real-life connections beat digital advice. D. Wardrobes should not be managed by apps. 【答案】24. A 25. B 26. D 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述作者使用穿搭软件搭配衣物，经历一系列麻烦后，选择舍弃软件回归真实生活的故事。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“For the first week, it was a game-changer. “Wear the blue shirt with the grey trousers,” the app would command, and I’d walk into the office feeling like a fashion star.(在第一周，它带来了巨大改变。软件会吩咐“穿上蓝衬衫搭配灰色裤子”，然后我走进办公室，感觉自己像一位时尚明星。)”可知，作者认为软件一开始给出的建议有用，还让自己十分开心。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Then, the weather update failed, insisting snow in July and telling me to wear my heaviest coat. My colleagues thought I had lost my mind.(之后天气更新出错，坚称七月会下雪，并让我穿上最厚的外套。我的同事们都认为我疯了。)”可知，作者在七月穿上厚重外套，所以同事觉得他不正常。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“She laughed and reminded me of something I’d forgotten: I don’t have a style score; I have a mirror. I don’t have an algorithm for rain; I have a weather app on my phone. And most importantly, I don’t need a digital Emma; I have a real one, and her opinion matters far more than any app’s.(她笑了，提醒了我一件已经忘记的事：我没有风格评分，我有镜子；我不需要降雨算法，手机上就有天气软件；最重要的是，我不需要一个虚拟的Emma，我拥有真实的她，她的看法远比软件重要。)”可知，妻子认为软件不能替代人，只能当作参考。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第四段中的“And most importantly, I don’t need a digital Emma; I have a real one, and her opinion matters far more than any app’s.(最重要的是，我不需要一个虚拟的Emma，我拥有真实的她，她的看法远比软件重要。)”可知，文章想要告诉我们真实的人际陪伴与建议胜过数字软件给出的意见。 C Will there be another Harry Potter? Between 1997 and 2007, it seemed like every child was reading J.K. Rowling’s fantasy novels about a teenager’s adventures. Kids worldwide spent long hours reading the thick hardcovers many times. But when digital reading began replacing print reading, we may never again see another book series attract kids’ attention as Harry Potter did. In addition, the switch to digital reading may be affecting kids’ reading comprehension skills, a recently published study finds. Scientists at the University of Valencia in Spain analyzed 26 previous studies, each exploring the effect of leisure-time digital reading on comprehension. They found that digital reading does improve comprehension skills, but the beneficial effect of deep reading is between six and seven times smaller than that of print reading, and it’s smallest for children. Great exposure to digital reading activities may prevent early readers from building firm reading basics in a critical period. Digital texts tend to be much shorter and have worse linguistic (语言学的) quality compared to printed works. Phones and computers also expose readers to distractions from social media, YouTube, and video games. Because youth tend to have poor impulse (冲动) control, they are more likely to be distracted than adults when engaging in digital reading. They also are less likely to have mastered vocabulary and grammar rules. With paper, there is a literal laying on of hands, along with the visual geography of distinct pages. People often link their memory of what they’ve read to how far into the book it was or where it was on the page. The more kids are exposed to print reading, the better able they are to understand and recall what they are reading. Moreover, as young readers consume longer and more complex texts, their reading skills improve, further boosting their abilities. It is therefore recommended that parents and teachers limit kids’ time with digital content, or at least emphasize printed works or using basic e-readers with ink-screens. 28. Why does the author mention Harry Potter at the beginning? A. To praise its writer. B. To show its popularity. C. To introduce the topic. D. To compare book series. 29. What does the author focus on in the first two paragraphs? A. The loss of deep reading. B. The importance of reading. C. The appeal of print reading. D. The benefits of digital reading. 30. What makes print reading beneficial to kids’ reading abilities according to the study? A. Parents’ reading skills. B. Paper’s physical properties. C. Social media’s support. D. Kids’ consumption of easy texts. 31. Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A. Print Reading Still Has a Place B. How Kids Learn to Read C. Why Harry Potter Still Matters D. Digital Reading Fails Young Readers 【答案】28. C 29. A 30. B 31. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要研究对比数字阅读与纸质阅读，指出纸质阅读更利于孩子阅读理解能力发展。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“But when digital reading began replacing print reading, we may never again see another book series attract kids’ attention as Harry Potter did.(但是当数字阅读开始取代纸质阅读时，我们或许再也看不到另一套丛书能像《哈利・波特》那样吸引孩子们的目光。)”可知，作者开篇提到《哈利・波特》是为了引出数字阅读和纸质阅读的话题。 【29题详解】 主旨大意题。通读前两段，尤其是根据第二段中“They found that digital reading does improve comprehension skills, but the beneficial effect of deep reading is between six and seven times smaller than that of print reading, and it’s smallest for children.(他们发现数字阅读确实能提升理解能力，但数字阅读带来的深度阅读增益效果仅为纸质阅读的六到七分之一，且这种增益效应对儿童来说是最低的。)”可知，前两段重点讲深度阅读在数字阅读中有所缺失。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“With paper, there is a literal laying on of hands, along with the visual geography of distinct pages. People often link their memory of what they’ve read to how far into the book it was or where it was on the page. The more kids are exposed to print reading, the better able they are to understand and recall what they are reading. Moreover, as young readers consume longer and more complex texts, their reading skills improve, further boosting their abilities.(阅读纸质书时，我们可以实实在在触摸书页，同时感受不同页面带来的视觉位置感。人们常常把读过内容的记忆，和它在书中的位置、在页面上的地方联系起来。孩子接触纸质阅读越多，理解和回忆阅读内容的能力就越强。此外，当青少年阅读篇幅更长、内容更复杂的文本时，他们的阅读水平会得到提升，能力也会进一步增强。)”可知，纸质读物本身的物理特性对孩子阅读能力有益。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第四段中“The more kids are exposed to print reading, the better able they are to understand and recall what they are reading.(孩子接触纸质阅读越多，理解和回忆阅读内容的能力就越强。)”可知，文章核心是说明纸质阅读依然有其价值和地位。“Print Reading Still Has a Place(纸质阅读依然有它的一席之地)”符合题意。 D Plants can detect potential dangers by means of smell. However, their ability to recognize threats varies. New research indicates that young leaves of corn plants are far more sensitive to danger signals than mature ones. Lei Wang, a plant biologist at the University of Bern in Switzerland, explains that plants can sense approaching risks and activate their defense systems in advance. He and his colleagues published the new findings in Current Biology. Many plants strengthen their chemical defenses when facing insect attacks. One important way for plants to perceive threats is through scent (气味). They are capable of detecting scent molecules (分子) in the air, which may come from insects’ saliva (口水) or nearby damaged plants. Nevertheless, scientists have not yet clarified which parts of plants are responsible for detecting dangers, as plants have no noses. They also know little about the internal mechanism by which plants process danger signals. Wang’s team intended to explore this warning system in corn. However, they ran into an unexpected obstacle early on: when exposed to threat-related scents, fully grown corn leaves showed almost no detectable response. The researchers then focused on young leaves instead. Lab experiments showed that young corn leaves performed much better in sensing dangers than older ones, with a stronger reaction to a typical danger-signaling scent, which smells like freshly cut grass. The reason is still unclear. Being in the early growth stage, young leaves need extra defense, so it may be a natural protection for these more susceptible young leaves. Besides, young leaves, usually growing at the top of plants, might be more exposed to scents carried over long distances. These assumptions require further study. Wang hopes his research will contribute to the breeding of insect-resistant crops, which will gradually reduce the use of poisonous pesticides in agriculture. “My parents are farmers,” Wang says. “This research is not just to satisfy curiosity. I truly expect to solve some practical agricultural problems.” 32. What is special about young corn leaves according to the new research? A. They give off warning scents. B. They grow faster than mature leaves. C. They react better to danger signals. D. They attract insects from long distances. 33. What problem did Wang’s team meet at first? A. Corn plants failed to grow well. B. Insects’ saliva damaged the young leaves. C. Danger-related scents were hard to detect. D. Mature leaves reacted little to warning smells. 34. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “susceptible” in paragraph 5? A. Slow to grow. B. Hard to reach. C. Easily harmed. D. Quickly recovered. 35. What does Wang expect from this research? A. It may explain corn’s faster growth. B. It may reveal how plants process signals. C. It may lead to greener crop protection. D. It may make pesticide use more efficient. 【答案】32. C 33. D 34. C 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了瑞士伯尔尼大学植物生物学家王磊团队的新研究发现——玉米幼叶比成熟叶片对危险信号更敏感，并探讨其在培育抗虫作物、减少农药使用方面的潜在应用价值。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“New research indicates that young leaves of corn plants are far more sensitive to danger signals than mature ones.(新的研究表明，玉米植株的幼叶对危险信号的敏感度远高于成熟叶片)”可知，幼叶对危险信号的反应更强。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“However, they ran into an unexpected obstacle early on: when exposed to threat-related scents, fully grown corn leaves showed almost no detectable response.(然而，他们在早期遇到了一个意外的障碍：当暴露在威胁相关的气味中时，完全成熟的玉米叶片几乎没有表现出可检测到的反应)”可知，成熟叶片对预警气味几乎无反应。 【34题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第五段“Being in the early growth stage, young leaves need extra defense, so it may be a natural protection for these more susceptible young leaves. (由于处于早期生长阶段，幼叶需要额外的防御，因此这可能是对这些更susceptible幼叶的自然保护)”可知，幼叶需要额外保护，说明它们更容易受到伤害，susceptible意为“易受伤害的”。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Wang hopes his research will contribute to the breeding of insect-resistant crops, which will gradually reduce the use of poisonous pesticides in agriculture.(王磊希望他的研究能促进抗虫作物的培育，从而逐步减少农业中毒性农药的使用)”可推知，他期待这项研究带来更环保的作物保护方式。 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。 Communication begins long before you open your mouth. The way you stand, the position of your arms, and your facial expressions all tell a story that can be read immediately. By adopting the following habits, you can project confidence, openness, and charm with your nonverbal cues. ___36___ When you are truly engaged in a movie or a game, you lean forward. The same applies to conversation. Slightly leaning your upper body toward the speaker is a loud nonverbal cue that says, “I am interested in what you are saying.” ___37___ Just be mindful of personal space, because a deep lean can feel like impoliteness. Find the eye contact “sweet spot”. ___38___ However, there is a fine line between “engaged” and “uncomfortable”. Unbroken staring can cause a fight-or-flight response in others. To avoid this, try the 50/70 rule: maintain eye contact for 50% of the time while you are speaking and maintain eye contact for 70% of the time while you are listening. Adopt an open posture. When you cross your arms or legs, you are physically protecting your vital organs. ___39___ To appear more approachable, keep your chest open. Let your arms hang relaxed at your sides and angle your body toward the person you are speaking with. Subtly (巧妙地) mirror their movements. Have you ever noticed that when you are really clicking with someone, you naturally start doing the same things they are? This is called mirroring, and it creates an unconscious sense of familiarity and trust. You can intentionally use this by reflecting your conversation partner’s posture or gestures. The warning: The key word is subtle. ___40___ A. Lean in to listen. B. Be an active observer with a deep lean in. C. This closes the physical distance and builds connection. D. You want to mirror their energy, not copy their every move. E. Looking someone in the eye conveys confidence and engagement. F. Mirroring can make the interaction more genuine when done frequently. G. While comfortable, this primitive defensive position signals to others that you are closed off. 【答案】36. A 37. C 38. E 39. G 40. D 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍了通过非语言信号（如姿势、眼神、动作等）来展现自信、开放和魅力的几种习惯。 【36题详解】 根据后文“When you are truly engaged in a movie or a game, you lean forward. The same applies to conversation. Slightly leaning your upper body toward the speaker is a loud nonverbal cue that says, “I am interested in what you are saying.”(当你真正沉浸在一部电影或游戏中时，你会身体前倾。这同样适用于对话。微微将上半身倾向说话者是一个强烈的非语言信号，表示“我对你说的话感兴趣”。)”可知，本段主要讲述“身体前倾倾听”这一习惯。A选项“Lean in to listen.(前倾身体去倾听。)”适合作本段小标题，概括全段主旨。 【37题详解】 根据前文“Slightly leaning your upper body toward the speaker is a loud nonverbal cue that says, “I am interested in what you are saying.”(微微将上半身倾向说话者是一个强烈的非语言信号，表示“我对你说的话感兴趣”。)”以及后文“Just be mindful of personal space, because a deep lean can feel like impoliteness.(只是要注意个人空间，因为过度前倾可能会显得不礼貌。)”可知，前文提到前倾的好处，后文提醒注意分寸，此处应补充前倾带来的积极效果。C选项“This closes the physical distance and builds connection.(这缩短了身体距离并建立了联系。)”承接前文，说明前倾的好处，与后文的提醒形成转折，符合语境。 【38题详解】 根据本段小标题“Find the eye contact “sweet spot”.(找到眼神交流的“最佳平衡点”。)”以及后文“However, there is a fine line between “engaged” and “uncomfortable”.(然而，“投入”和“不舒服”之间只有一线之隔。)”可知，本段讨论眼神交流。E选项“Looking someone in the eye conveys confidence and engagement.(看着别人的眼睛传递出自信和投入。)”承接小标题，说明眼神交流的积极意义，与后文“However”形成转折，指出过度直视的问题，符合语境。 【39题详解】 根据前文“When you cross your arms or legs, you are physically protecting your vital organs.(当你交叉双臂或双腿时，你是在物理上保护你的重要器官。)”以及后文“To appear more approachable, keep your chest open.(为了显得更平易近人，保持胸部敞开。)”可知，前文描述交叉手臂的姿势，后文建议打开姿势，此处应说明交叉手臂姿势传递的负面信号。G选项“While comfortable, this primitive defensive position signals to others that you are closed off.(虽然舒服，但这种原始的防御姿势向他人传递出你封闭自我的信号。)”承接前文，解释交叉手臂的隐含意义，与后文的改进建议形成对比，符合语境。 【40题详解】 根据前文“The warning: The key word is subtle.(警告：关键词是“巧妙”。)”以及本段主题“Subtly mirror their movements.(巧妙地模仿他们的动作。)”可知，此处强调模仿要适度。D选项“You want to mirror their energy, not copy their every move.(你要模仿的是他们的能量，而不是复制他们的每一个动作。)”承接前文的警告，具体说明“巧妙”的含义——即模仿整体状态而非机械复制动作，符合语境。 第三部分 语言知识运用（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，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Like most teenagers growing up in the digital age, I relied on my phone for photos. These were mostly quick snaps (快照) that were ___41___ but rarely revisited. My profile on Instagram was a polished collection of such photos intended to ___42___ my peers. The transition from sharing images to ___43___ memories for myself was a gradual one. It began with a simple ___44___: flipping (翻阅) through family photo albums. I was attracted by the images from my family’s ___45___. They weren’t polished, but they held stories that words often couldn’t ___46___ — of birthdays, ceremonies and family portraits. In those photographs, I saw ___47___. I realized that every image was a piece of something ___48___: a history that had been passed down. It was this ___49___ that led me to pick up my film camera. With just 36 exposures per roll, each photo required ___50___, a slowing down to see the world around me. I now take photos of the things that matter most: friends’ weddings, holidays and small moments of joy. If a picture didn’t turn out as I had hoped, it didn’t matter. The ___51___ became part of the story. They weren’t meant for ___52___ or comments — they were meant for me, for family and friends. There’s a sense of ___53___ when I finally open an envelope of developed prints. I’m ___54___ those moments. And in that sense, my ___55___ to film photography feels like a desire to regain the permanence and closeness that comes with holding a memory in your hands. 41.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍作者从在社交平台分享手机快照取悦同龄人，受家庭相册启发转而使用胶片相机记录珍贵记忆，重拾记忆的永恒与温情。 【41题详解】 考查动词。句意：这些大多是随手拍的快照，被分享出去却很少再回看。A. copied复制；B. printed打印；C. shared分享；D. downloaded下载。根据下文“My profile on Instagram was a polished collection of such photos intended to ____ my peers.”可知，这些照片会发布在社交平台上进行分享。 【42题详解】 考查动词。句意：我在Instagram上的个人资料是一组精心整理的照片，目的是给同龄人留下深刻印象。A. control控制；B. impress给……留下深刻印象；C. support支持；D. instruct指导。根据上文“My profile on Instagram was a polished collection of such photos”可知，作者在社交平台精心打理主页背景，发照片是为了给同龄人留下印象。 【43题详解】 考查动词。句意：从分享照片到为自己留存记忆，这个转变是循序渐进的。A. keeping保存，留存；B. remembering记住；C. blocking阻挡；D. erasing擦除。根据下文“I realized that every image was a piece of something ____: a history that had been passed down.”以及第三段“I now take photos of the things that matter most: friends’ weddings, holidays and small moments of joy.”可知，作者翻阅家庭相册，开始记录回忆，所以此处表示作者开始留存记忆。 【44题详解】 考查名词。句意：这一切始于一个简单的举动：翻阅家庭相册。A. fact事实；B. act举动，行为；C. task任务；D. experiment实验。根据下文“flipping (翻阅) through family photo albums.”以及常识可知，翻阅相册是一个简单的行为。 【45题详解】 考查名词。句意：我被来自家人过往的照片吸引。A. tradition传统；B. business生意；C. past过去；D. origin起源。根据下文“They weren’t polished, but they held stories that words often couldn’t ____ — of birthdays, ceremonies and family portraits.”可知，相册里记录的都是过去发生的事情。 【46题详解】 考查动词。句意：它们没有经过打磨，但它们承载着言语往往无法传达的故事——生日、仪式和全家福。A. prove证明；B. convey传达；C. change改变；D. continue继续。根据上文“they held stories”以及下文“of birthdays, ceremonies and family portraits”可知，此处表示照片承载故事，传达文字难以表达的内容。 【47题详解】 考查名词。句意：在这些照片里，我看见了联系。A. hopes希望；B. items物品；C. conventions惯例；D. connections联系，羁绊。根据下文“I realized that every image was a piece of something ____: a history that had been passed down.”可知，此处表示照片串联起家人之间的情感联结。 【48题详解】 考查形容词。句意：我意识到，每一张照片都是更宏大事物的一部分：代代传承的一段历史。A. larger更大的，更宏大的；B. stranger更陌生的；C. simpler更简单的；D. fresher更新鲜的。根据下文“a history that had been passed down”可知，单张照片属于更宏大的事物的一小部分。 【49题详解】 考查名词。句意：正是这一感悟促使我拿起胶片相机。A. imagination想象；B. passion热爱；C. realization感悟，认识；D. prediction预测。根据上文“I realized that every image was a piece of something ____: a history that had been passed down.”可知，作者从相册中得到的思考，这是作者的感悟。 【50题详解】 考查名词。句意：一卷胶卷只有36次曝光，每一张照片都需要用心构思，慢下来观察身边的世界。A. improvement改善；B. intention打算，意图；C. inspiration灵感；D. development发展。根据上文“With just 36 exposures per roll”可知，胶卷拍摄次数有限，所以拍照前要想好、用心构思。 【51题详解】 考查名词。句意：这些不完美也成了故事的一部分。A. colors色彩；B. errors错误；C. patterns图案；D. imperfections不完美。根据上文“If a picture didn’t turn out as I had hoped”可知，照片达不到预期，这是一种不完美。 【52题详解】 考查名词。句意：它们不是为了点赞或者评论——它们是为我、家人和朋友而拍的。A. likes点赞；B. jokes玩笑；C. deals交易；D. games游戏。根据第一段“My profile on Instagram was a polished collection of such photos intended to ____ my peers.”可知，此处是Instagram社交平台的背景，平台上照片常见互动形式是点赞和评论。 【53题详解】 考查名词。句意：当我终于打开一个装有冲印好的照片信封时，有一种重新发现的感觉。A. gratitude感激；B. emptiness空虚；C. relief宽慰；D. rediscovery重新发现。根据下文“when I finally open an envelope of developed prints”以及胶片的特点可知，拍摄之后不能立刻看到成片，拿到冲印照片相当于重新看见过往瞬间。 【54题详解】 考查动词短语。句意：我仿佛回到了那些时刻。A. transported back to被带回；B. carried away by被……迷住；C. led into引入；D. stuck in困于。根据上文“There’s a sense of ____ when I finally open an envelope of developed prints.”可知，看到冲印好的旧照片，照片会把人带回当时的场景。 【55题详解】 考查名词。句意：从这个意义上说，我转向胶片摄影，感觉就像是一种渴望，想要重新获得将记忆握在手中所带来的永恒感与亲近感。A. claim宣称；B. response回应；C. shift转变，转向；D. shortcut捷径。根据第一段“The transition from sharing images to ____ memories for myself was a gradual one.”可知，此处表示从手机快照到胶片摄影的转变。 第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)，或括号内单词的正确形式。 If you’re a tea lover ____56____ (travel) to Beijing, come and visit the Lao She Tea House, one of China’s most famous tea houses.

The house was near the beautiful blue sea. At the seaside stood thick and tall palm trees with green coconuts (椰子) hanging from them. When the coconuts fell down, Sami would break them open and drink the coconut water. Sami liked to play under the trees. It was always great fun to spend the holidays at Grandpa’s place. This winter vacation, Sami was surprised when he came to his grandfather’s village. There were hardly any trees left. He saw houses built near the sea. People had cut down many palm trees and there was hardly any greenery left. Grandpa’s house was different. He never allowed his trees to be cut. He hugged each palm tree in his courtyard. He also named the two big trees near the front door — one was Petu, and the other Betu. He had planted them with his own hands and today they had become large trees with thick trunks. They were tall and green and gave the sweetest, juiciest coconuts. One night, Sami was awakened by a strange sound. He could not sleep. He tossed (辗转) and turned in bed. Suddenly, the ground shook as if the earth was splitting. He sat up straight and then ran to Grandpa. He clung (依附) to his grandpa tightly. Grandpa cried out, “It’s an earthquake! It’s an earthquake!” They ran outside the house. They thought that would be safe. Suddenly, there was a loud sound; the earth was not splitting but the sea was roaring. People were shouting, screaming and crying, “The sea is rising. The sea is rising.” The villagers started running away from the beach. Sami watched dumbstruck (呆若木鸡). The waves were rising higher and higher. Sami thought, “How big the waves are!” He went into the house again and saw water coming in from all sides. He was scared. Sami remembered his mother telling him long ago, “You must always get out of the house if the floods come too near.” He ran outside the house with Grandpa. But the water came surging (汹涌) in. Waves about twelve meters high came rushing in, drowning everything. Water was all around and everywhere. 注意：1. 词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Grandpa held Sami’s hand tightly, but a huge wave separated them. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Sami, Sami!” Grandpa cried. “Don’t be scared, little one. Hold on and climb up!” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 Grandpa held Sami’s hand tightly, but a huge wave separated them. Sami struggled desperately to keep his head above the surface. Just as he felt himself losing strength, his fingers brushed against something rough and solid — a palm tree trunk. With all his remaining energy, he grabbed hold of it and clung on tightly. It was Petu, one of Grandpa’s beloved trees. He remembered Grandpa’s words, “These trees stand strong against any storm.” Gasping for breath, Sami wrapped his arms and legs around the thick trunk, praying that the water would not pull him away. “Sami, Sami!” Grandpa cried. “Don’t be scared, little one. Hold on and climb up!” Hearing Grandpa’s voice, Sami gathered his courage. Slowly, inch by inch, he managed to climb higher, away from the raging waves below. From above, he saw Grandpa also holding onto Betu, the other big tree. The water began to recede after what felt like hours. When the sea finally calmed, Grandpa waded over to Petu and looked up at Sami with tears of relief. That night, Sami understood why Grandpa had never cut down his trees — they were not just trees; they were guardians of life. 【解析】 【导语】本文以Sami为线索展开，主要讲述了祖孙俩在海啸中靠爷爷精心保护的棕榈树脱险的故事，让Sami领悟到保护树木就是守护生命的道理。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句可知，本段可描写Sami被浪冲散后挣扎求生，抓住爷爷种的棕榈树Petu求生。 ②由第二段首句可知，本段可描写Sami在爷爷鼓励下爬上树，最终获救并感悟树木的意义。 2.续写线索：​ 巨浪冲散→抓住树干→爷爷呼喊→爬树避险→海水退去→感悟树木守护生命 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①抓住：grab hold of/take hold of ②理解：understand/comprehend 情绪类 ①勇气：courage/bravery ②如释重负：with tears of relief /feeling relieved 【点睛】【高分句型1】The water began to recede after what felt like hours.

So, when my 15-year-old daughter, Emma, declared my wardrobe (衣橱) a “disaster zone” and offered a “digital makeover”, I foolishly agreed. It started with a simple app. Emma took photos of all my clothes, and the app promised the perfect daily outfit based on the weather, my calendar, and a color-matching algorithm (算法). I was impressed. For the first week, it was a game-changer. “Wear the blue shirt with the grey trousers,” the app would command, and I’d walk into the office feeling like a fashion star. Trouble began quietly. The app, perhaps influenced by Emma’s own tastes, started suggesting items I’d forgotten — a pair of bright orange shorts I’d bought for a holiday ten years ago. When I ignored it, the app lowered my “style score”, meaningless but frustrating. Then, the weather update failed, insisting snow in July and telling me to wear my heaviest coat. My colleagues thought I had lost my mind. I tried to override the app, but Emma had locked me out of “Expert Mode”. Feeling defeated, I told all of this to my wife. She laughed and reminded me of something I’d forgotten: I don’t have a style score; I have a mirror. I don’t have an algorithm for rain; I have a weather app on my phone. And most importantly, I don’t need a digital Emma; I have a real one, and her opinion matters far more than any app’s. So, I uninstalled the app. My wardrobe is back to its old, familiar chaos. And it feels just right. The only opinion that still counts is the one I hear from the hallway every morning: “Dad, you’re wearing that?” 24. How did the author find the app’s first-week suggestions? A. Helpful and exciting. B. Complex and costly. C. Practical and creative. D. Confusing and risky. 25. Why did the author’s colleagues think he had lost his mind? A. He ignored the app’s suggestions. B. He wore his thickest clothes in July. C. He wore orange shorts to the office. D. He locked himself out of Expert Mode. 26. How does the author’s wife view the app? A. It makes unreliable predictions. B. It badly needs improvement. C. It fully replaces human judgement. D. It only serves as a reference. 27. What message is conveyed in the text? A. Digital tools can ruin our daily style. B. Teenagers know more about technology. C. Real-life connections beat digital advice. D. Wardrobes should not be managed by apps. C Will there be another Harry Potter? Between 1997 and 2007, it seemed like every child was reading J.K. Rowling’s fantasy novels about a teenager’s adventures. Kids worldwide spent long hours reading the thick hardcovers many times. But when digital reading began replacing print reading, we may never again see another book series attract kids’ attention as Harry Potter did. In addition, the switch to digital reading may be affecting kids’ reading comprehension skills, a recently published study finds. Scientists at the University of Valencia in Spain analyzed 26 previous studies, each exploring the effect of leisure-time digital reading on comprehension. They found that digital reading does improve comprehension skills, but the beneficial effect of deep reading is between six and seven times smaller than that of print reading, and it’s smallest for children. Great exposure to digital reading activities may prevent early readers from building firm reading basics in a critical period. Digital texts tend to be much shorter and have worse linguistic (语言学的) quality compared to printed works. Phones and computers also expose readers to distractions from social media, YouTube, and video games. Because youth tend to have poor impulse (冲动) control, they are more likely to be distracted than adults when engaging in digital reading. They also are less likely to have mastered vocabulary and grammar rules. With paper, there is a literal laying on of hands, along with the visual geography of distinct pages. People often link their memory of what they’ve read to how far into the book it was or where it was on the page. The more kids are exposed to print reading, the better able they are to understand and recall what they are reading. Moreover, as young readers consume longer and more complex texts, their reading skills improve, further boosting their abilities. It is therefore recommended that parents and teachers limit kids’ time with digital content, or at least emphasize printed works or using basic e-readers with ink-screens. 28. Why does the author mention Harry Potter at the beginning? A. To praise its writer. B. To show its popularity. C. To introduce the topic. D. To compare book series. 29. What does the author focus on in the first two paragraphs? A. The loss of deep reading. B. The importance of reading. C. The appeal of print reading. D. The benefits of digital reading. 30. What makes print reading beneficial to kids’ reading abilities according to the study? A. Parents’ reading skills. B. Paper’s physical properties. C. Social media’s support. D. Kids’ consumption of easy texts. 31. Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A. Print Reading Still Has a Place B. How Kids Learn to Read C. Why Harry Potter Still Matters D. Digital Reading Fails Young Readers D Plants can detect potential dangers by means of smell. However, their ability to recognize threats varies. New research indicates that young leaves of corn plants are far more sensitive to danger signals than mature ones. Lei Wang, a plant biologist at the University of Bern in Switzerland, explains that plants can sense approaching risks and activate their defense systems in advance. He and his colleagues published the new findings in Current Biology. Many plants strengthen their chemical defenses when facing insect attacks. One important way for plants to perceive threats is through scent (气味). They are capable of detecting scent molecules (分子) in the air, which may come from insects’ saliva (口水) or nearby damaged plants. Nevertheless, scientists have not yet clarified which parts of plants are responsible for detecting dangers, as plants have no noses. They also know little about the internal mechanism by which plants process danger signals. Wang’s team intended to explore this warning system in corn. However, they ran into an unexpected obstacle early on: when exposed to threat-related scents, fully grown corn leaves showed almost no detectable response. The researchers then focused on young leaves instead. Lab experiments showed that young corn leaves performed much better in sensing dangers than older ones, with a stronger reaction to a typical danger-signaling scent, which smells like freshly cut grass. The reason is still unclear. Being in the early growth stage, young leaves need extra defense, so it may be a natural protection for these more susceptible young leaves. Besides, young leaves, usually growing at the top of plants, might be more exposed to scents carried over long distances. These assumptions require further study. Wang hopes his research will contribute to the breeding of insect-resistant crops, which will gradually reduce the use of poisonous pesticides in agriculture. “My parents are farmers,” Wang says. “This research is not just to satisfy curiosity. I truly expect to solve some practical agricultural problems.” 32. What is special about young corn leaves according to the new research? A. They give off warning scents. B. They grow faster than mature leaves. C. They react better to danger signals. D. They attract insects from long distances. 33. What problem did Wang’s team meet at first? A. Corn plants failed to grow well. B. Insects’ saliva damaged the young leaves. C. Danger-related scents were hard to detect. D. Mature leaves reacted little to warning smells. 34. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “susceptible” in paragraph 5? A. Slow to grow. B. Hard to reach. C. Easily harmed. D. Quickly recovered. 35. What does Wang expect from this research? A. It may explain corn’s faster growth. B. It may reveal how plants process signals. C. It may lead to greener crop protection. D. It may make pesticide use more efficient. 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。 Communication begins long before you open your mouth. The way you stand, the position of your arms, and your facial expressions all tell a story that can be read immediately. By adopting the following habits, you can project confidence, openness, and charm with your nonverbal cues. ___36___ When you are truly engaged in a movie or a game, you lean forward. The same applies to conversation. Slightly leaning your upper body toward the speaker is a loud nonverbal cue that says, “I am interested in what you are saying.” ___37___ Just be mindful of personal space, because a deep lean can feel like impoliteness. Find the eye contact “sweet spot”. ___38___ However, there is a fine line between “engaged” and “uncomfortable”. Unbroken staring can cause a fight-or-flight response in others. To avoid this, try the 50/70 rule: maintain eye contact for 50% of the time while you are speaking and maintain eye contact for 70% of the time while you are listening. Adopt an open posture. When you cross your arms or legs, you are physically protecting your vital organs. ___39___ To appear more approachable, keep your chest open. Let your arms hang relaxed at your sides and angle your body toward the person you are speaking with. Subtly (巧妙地) mirror their movements. Have you ever noticed that when you are really clicking with someone, you naturally start doing the same things they are? This is called mirroring, and it creates an unconscious sense of familiarity and trust. You can intentionally use this by reflecting your conversation partner’s posture or gestures. The warning: The key word is subtle. ___40___ A. Lean in to listen. B. Be an active observer with a deep lean in. C. This closes the physical distance and builds connection. D. You want to mirror their energy, not copy their every move. E. Looking someone in the eye conveys confidence and engagement. F. Mirroring can make the interaction more genuine when done frequently. G. While comfortable, this primitive defensive position signals to others that you are closed off. 第三部分 语言知识运用（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，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Like most teenagers growing up in the digital age, I relied on my phone for photos.

The transition from sharing images to ___43___ memories for myself was a gradual one. It began with a simple ___44___: flipping (翻阅) through family photo albums. I was attracted by the images from my family’s ___45___. They weren’t polished, but they held stories that words often couldn’t ___46___ — of birthdays, ceremonies and family portraits. In those photographs, I saw ___47___. I realized that every image was a piece of something ___48___: a history that had been passed down. It was this ___49___ that led me to pick up my film camera. With just 36 exposures per roll, each photo required ___50___, a slowing down to see the world around me. I now take photos of the things that matter most: friends’ weddings, holidays and small moments of joy. If a picture didn’t turn out as I had hoped, it didn’t matter. The ___51___ became part of the story. They weren’t meant for ___52___ or comments — they were meant for me, for family and friends. There’s a sense of ___53___ when I finally open an envelope of developed prints. I’m ___54___ those moments. And in that sense, my ___55___ to film photography feels like a desire to regain the permanence and closeness that comes with holding a memory in your hands. 41.

The house was near the beautiful blue sea. At the seaside stood thick and tall palm trees with green coconuts (椰子) hanging from them. When the coconuts fell down, Sami would break them open and drink the coconut water. Sami liked to play under the trees. It was always great fun to spend the holidays at Grandpa’s place. This winter vacation, Sami was surprised when he came to his grandfather’s village. There were hardly any trees left. He saw houses built near the sea. People had cut down many palm trees and there was hardly any greenery left. Grandpa’s house was different. He never allowed his trees to be cut. He hugged each palm tree in his courtyard. He also named the two big trees near the front door — one was Petu, and the other Betu. He had planted them with his own hands and today they had become large trees with thick trunks. They were tall and green and gave the sweetest, juiciest coconuts. One night, Sami was awakened by a strange sound. He could not sleep. He tossed (辗转) and turned in bed. Suddenly, the ground shook as if the earth was splitting. He sat up straight and then ran to Grandpa. He clung (依附) to his grandpa tightly. Grandpa cried out, “It’s an earthquake! It’s an earthquake!” They ran outside the house. They thought that would be safe. Suddenly, there was a loud sound; the earth was not splitting but the sea was roaring. People were shouting, screaming and crying, “The sea is rising. The sea is rising.” The villagers started running away from the beach. Sami watched dumbstruck (呆若木鸡). The waves were rising higher and higher. Sami thought, “How big the waves are!” He went into the house again and saw water coming in from all sides. He was scared. Sami remembered his mother telling him long ago, “You must always get out of the house if the floods come too near.” He ran outside the house with Grandpa. But the water came surging (汹涌) in. Waves about twelve meters high came rushing in, drowning everything. Water was all around and everywhere. 注意：1. 词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Grandpa held Sami’s hand tightly, but a huge wave separated them. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Sami, Sami!” Grandpa cried. “Don’t be scared, little one. Hold on and climb up!” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
