Tate Modern Sitting on the bank of the River Thames, Tate Modern looks a bit strange at first, but inside you’ll find exciting modern and contemporary paintings, sculptures, and large art displays fill every corner. Here, even the most amateur (业余的) museum-goers can enter the world of modern art and artists. Sir John Soane’s Museum This place is both a historical home and an art gallery. It was the home of John Soane, a famous 19th-century English architect (建筑师). After he died in 1837, his home was kept as it was and was open to the public. Though it’s the smallest national museum, each room is full of the architect’s own things, inspiring visitors with his creativity. National Portrait Gallery The UK’s National Portrait Gallery has the largest collection of portraits in the world. Its collection includes historically important and famous British figures created by painters, drawers, and photographers. From rulers of old times to today’s popular stars, this gallery lets you explore the country’s history through the eyes of the local people. Victoria and Albert Museum The Victoria and Albert Museum is not only a national museum but also the world’s largest museum of applied arts, decorative arts, and design. Your breath will be taken away by objects ranging from Parisian dresses to china from 16th-century China. 1. How is Sir John Soane’s Museum different from the others? A. It is an art gallery. B. It is a national museum. C. It displays its previous owner’s belongings. D. It was open to the public in the 18th century. 2. Which place highlights Chinese art? A. Tate Modern. B. Sir John Soane’s Museum. C. National Portrait Gallery. D. Victoria and Albert Museum. 3. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To compare different art styles in London. B. To introduce English contemporary artists. C. To discuss the history of English museums. D. To recommend art spots in London to tourists. 【答案】1. C 2. D 3. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了伦敦四个富有艺术氛围的景点，包括泰特现代美术馆、约翰·索恩爵士博物馆、国家肖像画廊和维多利亚与阿尔伯特博物馆，旨在为艺术爱好者推荐伦敦的艺术胜地。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Sir John Soane’s Museum部分中“Though it’s the smallest national museum, each room is full of the architect's own things, inspiring visitors with his creativity. (尽管它是最小的国家博物馆，但每个房间都充满了这位建筑师自己的东西，用他的创造力激励着参观者。)”可知，该博物馆与其他博物馆的不同之处在于它展示了其前主人（约翰·索恩）的私人物品。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Victoria and Albert Museum部分中“Your breath will be taken away by objects ranging from Parisian dresses to china from 16th-century China. (从巴黎礼服到16世纪的中国瓷器，这些物品会让你叹为观止。)”可知，维多利亚与阿尔伯特博物馆展示了来自16世纪中国的瓷器，突出了中国艺术。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“If you are an art lover seeking an artistic atmosphere in London, England, whether you are looking for modern art works or amazing historical pieces, the following attractions may fascinate you. (如果你是一位在英国伦敦寻求艺术氛围的艺术爱好者，无论你是在寻找现代艺术作品还是令人惊叹的历史作品，以下景点可能会让你着迷。)”可知，本文的主要目的是向游客推荐伦敦的艺术景点。 B Most of the wild swans (天鹅) on the Thames River are owned by the King or Queen of England, and there’s a tradition to count them every summer. Known as Swan Upping, the five-day event has been around since the 12th century and takes place in the third week of July. This year it started on the 14th. While the King or Queen of England owns most of the swans, two trade associations also have the rights to them: the Vintners and the Dyers. Traditionally, the practice of Swan Upping was to divide the swans among these three owners since they were a delicacy reserved for the tables of the wealthy. Today, however, no one eats them and the practice is more about caring for them. For five days, the swan uppers count and check on the health of the swans, which allows them to identify potential threats. The swan uppers representing the King or Queen, the Vintners and the Dyers go along the Thames River in traditional flat-bottomed boats. Each of the groups wears a different traditional uniform—with the Vintners in black and white, the Dyers in dark blue, and the King or Queen’s swan uppers in red. When the swan uppers come across a family of swans, someone shouts, “All up,” and the crew surround the birds. After their feet or wings are tied, they are moved onto the riverbank to be weighed, measured and inspected for signs of illness or injury, often caused by fishing hooks and lines. Then the Dyers and the Vintners attach a ring to their legs. The King or Queen’s swans remain unmarked. The whole process, as long as there’s no serious injury on the swans, takes about 20 minutes. In recent years, the numbers of baby swans have been declining. In 2023, the number of baby swans weighed, measured and given a health check between Sunbury and Abingdon Bridge was 94 compared to 155 in 2022. This downturn in numbers was due to the outbreak of Avian Influenza in Autumn/Winter 2022 that caused the deaths of many thousands of swans throughout the country, and many hundreds on the Thames River. Now, the swan uppers are sure that the baby swans are in very good condition. 4. What will the swan uppers do nowadays during the event? A. Hunt the swans for fun. B. Cook some swans for the owners. C. Give the swans a check-up. D. Put a mark on the King or Queen’s swans. 5. Who are the representatives of the Dyers? A. Those in dark blue. B. Those in red. C. Those in black and white. D. Those in black. 6. What does the fourth paragraph focus on? A. The history of the event. B. The purpose of the practice. C. The threat to the swans. D. The process of Swan Upping. 7. How do the swan uppers probably feel about the baby swans now? A. Sad. B. Relieved. C. Worried. D. Unconcerned. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要为英国的Swan Upping活动提供了一些背景知识。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Today, however, no one eats them and the practice is more about caring for them. For five days, the swan uppers count and check on the health of the swans, which allows them to identify potential threats.(然而，如今没有人吃它们，这种做法更多的是为了照顾它们。五天来，天鹅计数员一直在统计和检查天鹅的健康状况，这使他们能够识别潜在的威胁。)”可知，如今，天鹅计数员在活动期间会给天鹅做检查。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Each of the groups wears a different traditional uniform — with the Vintners in black and white, the Dyers in dark blue, and the King or Queen’s swan uppers in red.(每个小组都穿着不同的传统制服——葡萄酒商穿着黑白相间的制服，染色工穿着深蓝色的制服，国王或女王的天鹅计数员穿着红色的制服。)”可知，染色工协会的代表是穿深蓝色衣服的人。故选A。 【6题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“When the swan uppers come across a family of swans, someone shouts, “All up,” and the crew surround the birds. After their feet or wings are tied, they are moved onto the riverbank to be weighed, measured and inspected for signs of illness or injury, often caused by fishing hooks and lines. Then the Dyers and the Vintners attach a ring to their legs. The King or Queen’s swans remain unmarked. The whole process, as long as there’s no serious injury on the swans, takes about 20 minutes.(当天鹅计数员遇到一群天鹅时，有人会喊“全体起立”，然后船员们就会把天鹅围起来。在它们的脚或翅膀被绑住后，它们会被移到河岸上称重、测量和检查是否有疾病或受伤的迹象，这些迹象通常是由鱼钩和鱼线造成的。然后染色工和葡萄酒商在它们的腿上套上一个环。国王或女王的天鹅仍然没有标记。整个过程，只要天鹅没有受到严重伤害，大约需要20分钟。)”可知，第四段主要关注的是天鹅计数的过程。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“In recent years, the numbers of baby swans have been declining. In 2023, the number of baby swans weighed, measured and given a health check between Sunbury and Abingdon Bridge was 94 compared to 155 in 2022. This downturn in numbers was due to the outbreak of Avian Influenza in Autumn/Winter 2022 that caused the deaths of many thousands of swans throughout the country, and many hundreds on the Thames River. Now, the swan uppers are sure that the baby swans are in very good condition.(近年来，小天鹅的数量一直在下降。2023年，在桑伯里和阿宾登桥之间称重、测量和接受健康检查的小天鹅数量为94只，而2022年为155只。数量下降的原因是2022年秋冬季节禽流感的爆发，导致全国数千只天鹅死亡，泰晤士河上也有数百只死亡。现在，天鹅计数员确信小天鹅的状况非常好。)”可知，现在天鹅计数员对小天鹅的现状感觉宽慰。故选B。 C The willingness to learn from failures is very important. And there are certainly many people who have overcome failures on their way to success. But, there are still a couple of questions about failures that are worth delving into: Do most people actually learn from failures? Why or why not? These questions were studied in 2024 by Lauren Eskreis-Winkler and Minhee Kim. They started by exploring whether people overestimated (高估) the likelihood that someone who had failed would succeed on their next attempt. In one experiment, the researchers asked participants to estimate the chance that someone who had taken an exam to become a lawyer, nurse, or teacher and failed would pass on the next attempt. This question was interesting, because the actual rates of success were already known (35% for lawyers, 43% for nurses, and 48% for teachers). But in each case, the participants significantly overestimated the likelihood that someone retesting would pass (58% for lawyers, 63% for nurses, and 67% for teachers). In another experiment, they asked the participants to predict the likelihood that a heart attack survivor would make positive changes in their behavior. Without any additional information, they predicted that 62% of survivors would change their behavior. But the actual percentage was 47%. These experiments suggest that the typical opinion about learning from failures needs some revision. As shown in the study, we often confuse what is with what ought to be. Yes, we ought to learn from failures. But often we don’t because it is too painful for us to analyze and learn from our failures. So when we fail to achieve our goals, it is necessary for us to recognize that without significant effort to change our behavior, we are likely to fail again in the future. 8. What does the author mean by “delving into” in paragraph 1? A. Exploring. B. Recommending. C. Forgetting. D. Confusing. 9. What are the statistics in the text mainly about? A. People can’t learn from their failures. B. Failures’ benefits might be overestimated. C. It is very painful for us to face our failures. D. Some people can learn more from their failures. 10. Why do most of us fail to learn from our failures? A. Very little help is available for us. B. We are unaware of the problems. C. The consequences are not serious. D. It is hard to change our behavior. 11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To introduce a rare phenomenon. B. To review a recent study. C. To argue against a typical opinion. D. To show human weakness. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要基于2024年的相关实验研究，探讨人们对“从失败中学习”的认知偏差，指出多数人高估了从失败中成功改进的可能性，并分析背后原因。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线单词所在句“But, there are still a couple of questions about failures that are worth delving into: Do most people actually learn from failures? Why or why not?(但关于失败，仍有两个值得delving into的问题：大多数人真的能从失败中学习吗？若是如此，原因何在？若不能，又为何？)”以及第二段“These questions were studied in 2024 by Lauren Eskreis-Winkler and Minhee Kim.(2024年，Lauren Eskreis-Winkler与Minhee Kim针对这些问题展开了研究)”可推测，此处指关于失败有两个值得探索的问题，于是有了下文的研究。选项A“Exploring”意为“探索”，与此相符。故选A。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“This question was interesting, because the actual rates of success were already known (35% for lawyers, 43% for nurses, and 48% for teachers). But in each case, the participants significantly overestimated the likelihood that someone retesting would pass (58% for lawyers, 63% for nurses, and 67% for teachers).(这个问题的研究价值在于，这些考试的实际通过率是已知的——律师资格考试为35%，护士资格考试为43%，教师资格考试为48%。但在每种情况下，参与者都大幅高估了重考者的通过率，分别给出了 58%（律师）、63%（护士）和 67%（教师）的估算。)”以及第四段“In another experiment, they asked the participants to predict the likelihood that a heart attack survivor would make positive changes in their behavior. Without any additional information, they predicted that 62% of survivors would change their behavior. But the actual percentage was 47%.(在另一项实验中，他们要求参与者预测心脏病幸存者在行为上做出积极改变的可能性。在没有任何额外信息的情况下，他们预测62%的幸存者会改变他们的行为。但实际比例是47%)”可知，参与者对律师、护士、教师重考通过率的预估（58%、63%、67%）远高于实际通过率（35%、43%、48%），对心脏病发作幸存者行为改变概率的预估（62%）也高于实际比例（47%）。这些数据均表明人们高估了失败带来的“益处”——即从失败中改进并成功的可能性。故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第五段“But often we don’t because it is too painful for us to analyze and learn from our failures. So when we fail to achieve our goals, it is necessary for us to recognize that without significant effort to change our behavior, we are likely to fail again in the future.(因为分析失败、从中吸取教训的过程对我们而言太过痛苦。因此，当我们未能实现目标时，必须清醒地认识到：若不付出巨大努力去改变自身行为，未来我们很可能会再次失败)”可知，我们难以从失败中学习，本质是因为分析失败、从中吸取教训的过程很痛苦，而改变自身行为需要付出巨大努力，即改变行为本身存在难度。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“These experiments suggest that the typical opinion about learning from failures needs some revision.(这些实验表明，人们对“从失败中学习”的普遍认知有待修正)”以及全文内容可知，作者通过呈现2024年的两项实验数据，指出人们普遍认为“能从失败中学习”的固有观点存在偏差，需要修正，核心目的是反驳这一典型认知。故选C。 D Sleep experts have noticed that the so-called orthosomnia phenomenon is on the rise alongside the popularity of sleep trackers. “In recent years, more and more people came to me with sleep-tracking devices,” said Kelly Baron, a psychologist who created the term in 2017. “They believed the devices more than their doctors or even their own sense of how they had slept.” After reviewing a series of cases, Kelly Baron concluded that most of the people hadn’t realized that the sleep trackers were not medical devices. “Sleep cannot be measured unless you have electrodes (电极) attached to your head,” she explained. “The sleep trackers that are worn on the wrist or finger typically rely on body temperature, body movement or heartbeat to guess the brain’s activity during sleep.” She added that the biggest trouble with an unhealthy concern about sleep data is that it can increase anxiety. “People who have orthosomnia usually feel too concerned about achieving certain sleep stages such as deep sleep, REM sleep or sleep latency (how long it takes to fall asleep). All these measurements are included on the sleep trackers,” she warned. “As a result, they may end up lying awake longer at night.” “Rather than paying too much attention to the data of your sleep, it’s better to ask yourself whether you want to sleep longer or wake up feeling better rested,” Baron said. “Then, you can use the data you get from a sleep tracker to adjust your behavior — including your eating, drinking, and stress-management habits — to try to set yourself up for a better night’s sleep. Self-monitoring and goal-setting are cornerstones of any sort of behavior change.” But she stressed that there’s no need to check the data every day. Instead, it’s better to look for trends (趋势) or big changes once a week. If, despite taking these steps, you still find yourself feeling anxious about your sleep, it may be time to throw the sleep tracker away. “For some people, paying too much attention to the data backfires,” Baron said. “How you sleep really should be about how you feel.” 12. What can we learn about orthosomnia? A. It is related to an unhealthy lifestyle. B. It is caused by anxiety about sleep data. C. It is a true and serious sleep problem. D. It is ignored by doctors and researchers. 13. What does Kelly Baron say about the sleep trackers? A. They can be used for goal-setting. B. They can monitor our sleep reliably. C. They might be greatly improved. D. They should not be sold at the market. 14. Which statement will Kelly Baron probably agree with? A. Sleep cannot be measured. B. Self-monitoring is unnecessary. C. Sleep quality is determined by REM sleep. D. It is harmful to be too worried about sleep data. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. How Can We Get Some Really Nice Sleep? B. It’s Time to Throw Away the Sleep Trackers! C. Your Sleep Tracker May Be Keeping You Awake! D. Can We Find a Better Way to Cure Orthosomnia? 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了滥用睡眠跟踪器的后果：导致完美睡眠焦虑症。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“She added that the biggest trouble with an unhealthy concern about sleep data is that it can increase anxiety. People who have orthosomnia usually feel too concerned about achieving certain sleep stages such as deep sleep, REM sleep or sleep latency.(她补充说，对睡眠数据的不健康关注带来的最大问题是，它会增加焦虑。患有完美睡眠症的人通常过于关注达到某些睡眠阶段，如深度睡眠、快速眼动睡眠或睡眠潜伏期)”可知，完美睡眠症是由对睡眠数据的焦虑引起的。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“Then, you can use the data you get from a sleep tracker to adjust your behavior — including your eating, drinking, and stress-management habits — to try to set yourself up for a better night’s sleep. Self-monitoring and goal-setting are cornerstones of any sort of behavior change.(然后，你可以利用从睡眠追踪器获得的数据来调整你的行为，包括你的饮食、饮酒和压力管理习惯，努力为自己创造一个更好的睡眠环境。自我监控和目标设定是任何行为改变的基石)”可知，Kelly Baron认为睡眠追踪器可以用于设定目标。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“She added that the biggest trouble with an unhealthy concern about sleep data is that it can increase anxiety.(她补充说，对睡眠数据的不健康关注带来的最大问题是，它会增加焦虑)”和第六段“If, despite taking these steps, you still find yourself feeling anxious about your sleep, it may be time to throw the sleep tracker away.(即使采取了这些措施，你仍然为自己的睡眠感到焦虑，那或许是时候扔掉睡眠追踪器了)”可推知，Kelly Baron可能会同意过于担心睡眠数据是有害的。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。文章主要介绍了滥用睡眠跟踪器的后果：导致完美睡眠焦虑症。由此可知，选项C“你的睡眠追踪器可能让你睡不着觉！”最能概括文章主旨，适合作为文章标题。故选C。 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。 We often think of teamwork in terms of spoken communication. However, nonverbal communication plays an equally vital role in creating an efficient team. ____16____ The foundation of effective team body language is shared awareness. This needs to be aware of your own signals and those of your teammates. ____17____ For example, during a team meeting, if you notice a colleague leaning back with crossed arms while another is passionately explaining an idea, it might signal disagreement or disengagement. Notice this signal and respond with eye contact or a nod to invite them in. This nonverbal response can help make sure all voices are heard. ____18____ Watch a winning basketball team or a skilled surgical team; their movements often flow together naturally. They copy each other’s positions and predict moves without words. This matching of body language is a silent way of showing that you’re “in harmony”. You can encourage this by using open position, matching the group’s energy level, and nodding to show you understand others when they speak. Of course, it’s important to be aware of cultural differences in nonverbal communication. A gesture of approval in one culture might be seen as rude in another. ____19____ The key is to approach these differences with curiosity and respect rather than quick judgment, especially in diverse teams. Ultimately, the goal isn’t to create a team that moves like perfectly matching robots. ____20____ By paying attention to this silent language, teams can solve conflicts faster, build stronger trust, and create an environment where everyone feels safe to contribute. This conscious attention to the unspoken dance can turn a group of individuals into a truly united team. A. Team social activities help build personal connections. B. This means noticing small signals that your teammates keep sending. C. Matching body language is a powerful sign of a united team. D. Rather, develop a shared understanding for better teamwork. E. When many people talk together, it’s hard to hear each person. F. Similarly, comfortable speaking distance varies across cultures. G. These unspoken gestures and eye contact build trust in ways that words sometimes cannot. 【答案】16. G 17. B 18. C 19. F 20. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍非语言沟通对高效团队的重要性，及共享意识、肢体语言匹配和文化差异等相关要点。 【16题详解】 根据上“We often think of teamwork in terms of spoken communication. However, nonverbal communication plays an equally vital role in creating an efficient team.(我们通常从口头沟通的角度来理解团队合作。然而，非语言沟通在打造高效团队中也扮演着同样重要的角色)”可知，此处应承接非语言沟通的重要性，G选项“These unspoken gestures and eye contact build trust in ways that words sometimes cannot.(这些无声的手势和眼神交流能以语言有时无法做到的方式建立信任)”中的unspoken gestures and eye contact对应上文nonverbal communication，进一步说明其作用，符合语境。故选G项。 【17题详解】 根据上文“The foundation of effective team body language is shared awareness. This needs to be aware of your own signals and those of your teammates.(有效的团队肢体语言的基础是共享意识。这需要意识到你自己和队友发出的信号)”以及下文“For example, during a team meeting, if you notice a colleague leaning back with crossed arms while another is passionately explaining an idea, it might signal disagreement or disengagement.(例如，在团队会议上，如果你注意到一个同事双臂交叉靠在椅背上，而另一个同事正在热情地解释一个想法，这可能是不同意或不参与的信号)”可知，此处应衔接“意识到信号”与下文“举例说明信号”，B选项“This means noticing small signals that your teammates keep sending.(这意味着要留意队友不断发出的细微信号)”中this指代上文“意识到信号”，small signals呼应下文例子中的信号，符合语境。故选B项。 【18题详解】 根据下文“Watch a winning basketball team or a skilled surgical team; their movements often flow together naturally. They copy each other’s positions and predict moves without words. This matching of body language is a silent way of showing that you’re “in harmony”.(看看一支获胜的篮球队或一支技艺精湛的外科团队，他们的动作往往自然流畅地配合在一起。他们模仿彼此的姿势，无需言语就能预判动作。这种肢体语言的匹配是表明你“和谐共处”的无声方式)”可知，此处应总领该段，点明“肢体语言匹配”的主题，C选项“Matching body language is a powerful sign of a united team.(肢体语言的匹配是团队团结的有力标志)”点题，与下文内容呼应，符合语境。故选C项。 【19题详解】 根据上文“Of course, it’s important to be aware of cultural differences in nonverbal communication. A gesture of approval in one culture might be seen as rude in another.(当然，了解非语言沟通中的文化差异很重要。在一种文化中表示认可的手势，在另一种文化中可能被视为粗鲁)”可知，此处应继续举例说明非语言沟通的文化差异，F选项“Similarly, comfortable speaking distance varies across cultures.(同样，舒适的说话距离也因文化而异)”中similarly承接上文，speaking distance是非语言沟通的另一表现，符合语境。故选F项。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Ultimately, the goal isn’t to create a team that moves like perfectly matching robots.(归根结底，我们的目标不是打造一支动作完美一致的机器人团队)”以及下文“By paying attention to this silent language, teams can solve conflicts faster, build stronger trust, and create an environment where everyone feels safe to contribute. (通过关注这种无声的语言，团队能够更快地解决冲突，建立更牢固的信任，并营造一个让每个人都感到安全、敢于贡献的环境)”可知，此处应转折说明真正的目标，D选项“Rather, develop a shared understanding for better teamwork.(相反，要培养共同的理解以实现更好的团队合作)”中rather呼应上文isn’t，引出真正目标，与下文团队合作的效果衔接，符合语境。故选D项。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Ryan Neighbors, a fourth grader at Tully Elementary in Louisville, was born with spina bifida (脊柱裂) and has to rely on a wheelchair to get around.

He walks on his tiptoes and often loses balance. Besides, he has a speech delay, so he talks slowly and is sometimes hard to understand. Nevertheless, this little boy completely changed my view on life. Three years ago, I was terribly self-centered and cared little about others. After school one day, my father asked me to watch a short video. In the video, I saw disabled children playing baseball. I learned about the Challenger program, which offers them baseball team chances with the help of volunteer buddies (伙伴). Buddies assist kids with vision, walking or mental problems and give them a sense of belonging they lack in life. After watching the video, my dad, president of our town’s baseball league, decided to introduce this program and asked me to work as a volunteer buddy. I soon became interested in helping special-needs children. On the first Sunday, I waited with other volunteers. Soon the players arrived. Then Jack came with his mother. My dad told shy Jack that I would be his buddy for the season. However, Jack hid behind his mom and looked upset. 注意：1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Apparently, Jack didn’t like to play with me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ To my great joy, my efforts paid off and Jack was beginning to accept me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Apparently, Jack didn’t like to play with me. At first, I felt a little embarrassed and discouraged, wondering if I was wasting my time on a kid who showed no interest in me. However, I reminded myself that my duty was to help him and bring him joy. So I spared no effort to get along with Jack, patiently guiding him to play baseball and adapt to his physical conditions. Most importantly, I treated him sincerely and tried all ways to cheer him up. To my great joy, my efforts paid off and Jack was beginning to accept me. As weeks went by, a unique and warm bond gradually formed between us. Sunday soon became Jack’s favorite day, for he could enjoy baseball games with me on the field. I also gained great happiness from his sincere smiles. It was Jack who made me realize the true meaning of life: devoting ourselves to helping and caring for others. This precious volunteer experience has become the most rewarding part of my life, which I always treasure. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了三年前作者原本以自我为中心，在父亲安排下成为Challenger项目的志愿者伙伴，帮助患有腿部发育问题和语言迟缓的10岁男孩Jack打棒球。初次见面时Jack躲着作者，不愿与他互动。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写作者面对Jack的抗拒时的心理感受，以及他调整心态、耐心尝试各种方法接近Jack的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写两人之间建立信任与友谊的过程，以及这段经历带给作者的感悟与成长。 2. 续写线索： 感到尴尬——自我调整——真诚对待——逐渐接纳——建立纽带——获得快乐——感悟人生意义 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ① 适应：adapt to/be accustomed to ② 珍惜：treasure/cherish 情绪类 ① 沮丧：discouraged/frustrated ② 快乐：joy/delight 【点睛】【高分句型1】I spared no effort to get along with Jack, patiently guiding him to play baseball and adapt to his physical conditions.(运用了现在分词短语guiding...作伴随状语) 【高分句型2】It was Jack who made me realize the true meaning of life: devoting ourselves to helping and caring for others.

Tate Modern Sitting on the bank of the River Thames, Tate Modern looks a bit strange at first, but inside you’ll find exciting modern and contemporary paintings, sculptures, and large art displays fill every corner. Here, even the most amateur (业余的) museum-goers can enter the world of modern art and artists. Sir John Soane’s Museum This place is both a historical home and an art gallery. It was the home of John Soane, a famous 19th-century English architect (建筑师). After he died in 1837, his home was kept as it was and was open to the public. Though it’s the smallest national museum, each room is full of the architect’s own things, inspiring visitors with his creativity. National Portrait Gallery The UK’s National Portrait Gallery has the largest collection of portraits in the world. Its collection includes historically important and famous British figures created by painters, drawers, and photographers. From rulers of old times to today’s popular stars, this gallery lets you explore the country’s history through the eyes of the local people. Victoria and Albert Museum The Victoria and Albert Museum is not only a national museum but also the world’s largest museum of applied arts, decorative arts, and design. Your breath will be taken away by objects ranging from Parisian dresses to china from 16th-century China. 1. How is Sir John Soane’s Museum different from the others? A. It is an art gallery. B. It is a national museum. C. It displays its previous owner’s belongings. D. It was open to the public in the 18th century. 2. Which place highlights Chinese art? A. Tate Modern. B. Sir John Soane’s Museum. C. National Portrait Gallery. D. Victoria and Albert Museum. 3. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To compare different art styles in London. B. To introduce English contemporary artists. C. To discuss the history of English museums. D. To recommend art spots in London to tourists. B Most of the wild swans (天鹅) on the Thames River are owned by the King or Queen of England, and there’s a tradition to count them every summer. Known as Swan Upping, the five-day event has been around since the 12th century and takes place in the third week of July. This year it started on the 14th. While the King or Queen of England owns most of the swans, two trade associations also have the rights to them: the Vintners and the Dyers. Traditionally, the practice of Swan Upping was to divide the swans among these three owners since they were a delicacy reserved for the tables of the wealthy. Today, however, no one eats them and the practice is more about caring for them. For five days, the swan uppers count and check on the health of the swans, which allows them to identify potential threats. The swan uppers representing the King or Queen, the Vintners and the Dyers go along the Thames River in traditional flat-bottomed boats. Each of the groups wears a different traditional uniform—with the Vintners in black and white, the Dyers in dark blue, and the King or Queen’s swan uppers in red. When the swan uppers come across a family of swans, someone shouts, “All up,” and the crew surround the birds. After their feet or wings are tied, they are moved onto the riverbank to be weighed, measured and inspected for signs of illness or injury, often caused by fishing hooks and lines. Then the Dyers and the Vintners attach a ring to their legs. The King or Queen’s swans remain unmarked. The whole process, as long as there’s no serious injury on the swans, takes about 20 minutes. In recent years, the numbers of baby swans have been declining. In 2023, the number of baby swans weighed, measured and given a health check between Sunbury and Abingdon Bridge was 94 compared to 155 in 2022. This downturn in numbers was due to the outbreak of Avian Influenza in Autumn/Winter 2022 that caused the deaths of many thousands of swans throughout the country, and many hundreds on the Thames River. Now, the swan uppers are sure that the baby swans are in very good condition. 4. What will the swan uppers do nowadays during the event? A. Hunt the swans for fun. B. Cook some swans for the owners. C. Give the swans a check-up. D. Put a mark on the King or Queen’s swans. 5. Who are the representatives of the Dyers? A. Those in dark blue. B. Those in red. C. Those in black and white. D. Those in black. 6. What does the fourth paragraph focus on? A. The history of the event. B. The purpose of the practice. C. The threat to the swans. D. The process of Swan Upping. 7. How do the swan uppers probably feel about the baby swans now? A. Sad. B. Relieved. C. Worried. D. Unconcerned. C The willingness to learn from failures is very important. And there are certainly many people who have overcome failures on their way to success. But, there are still a couple of questions about failures that are worth delving into: Do most people actually learn from failures? Why or why not? These questions were studied in 2024 by Lauren Eskreis-Winkler and Minhee Kim. They started by exploring whether people overestimated (高估) the likelihood that someone who had failed would succeed on their next attempt. In one experiment, the researchers asked participants to estimate the chance that someone who had taken an exam to become a lawyer, nurse, or teacher and failed would pass on the next attempt. This question was interesting, because the actual rates of success were already known (35% for lawyers, 43% for nurses, and 48% for teachers). But in each case, the participants significantly overestimated the likelihood that someone retesting would pass (58% for lawyers, 63% for nurses, and 67% for teachers). In another experiment, they asked the participants to predict the likelihood that a heart attack survivor would make positive changes in their behavior. Without any additional information, they predicted that 62% of survivors would change their behavior. But the actual percentage was 47%. These experiments suggest that the typical opinion about learning from failures needs some revision. As shown in the study, we often confuse what is with what ought to be. Yes, we ought to learn from failures. But often we don’t because it is too painful for us to analyze and learn from our failures. So when we fail to achieve our goals, it is necessary for us to recognize that without significant effort to change our behavior, we are likely to fail again in the future. 8. What does the author mean by “delving into” in paragraph 1? A. Exploring. B. Recommending. C. Forgetting. D. Confusing. 9. What are the statistics in the text mainly about? A. People can’t learn from their failures. B. Failures’ benefits might be overestimated. C. It is very painful for us to face our failures. D. Some people can learn more from their failures. 10. Why do most of us fail to learn from our failures? A. Very little help is available for us. B. We are unaware of the problems. C. The consequences are not serious. D. It is hard to change our behavior. 11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To introduce a rare phenomenon. B. To review a recent study. C. To argue against a typical opinion. D. To show human weakness. D Sleep experts have noticed that the so-called orthosomnia phenomenon is on the rise alongside the popularity of sleep trackers. “In recent years, more and more people came to me with sleep-tracking devices,” said Kelly Baron, a psychologist who created the term in 2017. “They believed the devices more than their doctors or even their own sense of how they had slept.” After reviewing a series of cases, Kelly Baron concluded that most of the people hadn’t realized that the sleep trackers were not medical devices. “Sleep cannot be measured unless you have electrodes (电极) attached to your head,” she explained. “The sleep trackers that are worn on the wrist or finger typically rely on body temperature, body movement or heartbeat to guess the brain’s activity during sleep.” She added that the biggest trouble with an unhealthy concern about sleep data is that it can increase anxiety. “People who have orthosomnia usually feel too concerned about achieving certain sleep stages such as deep sleep, REM sleep or sleep latency (how long it takes to fall asleep). All these measurements are included on the sleep trackers,” she warned. “As a result, they may end up lying awake longer at night.” “Rather than paying too much attention to the data of your sleep, it’s better to ask yourself whether you want to sleep longer or wake up feeling better rested,” Baron said. “Then, you can use the data you get from a sleep tracker to adjust your behavior — including your eating, drinking, and stress-management habits — to try to set yourself up for a better night’s sleep. Self-monitoring and goal-setting are cornerstones of any sort of behavior change.” But she stressed that there’s no need to check the data every day. Instead, it’s better to look for trends (趋势) or big changes once a week. If, despite taking these steps, you still find yourself feeling anxious about your sleep, it may be time to throw the sleep tracker away. “For some people, paying too much attention to the data backfires,” Baron said. “How you sleep really should be about how you feel.” 12. What can we learn about orthosomnia? A. It is related to an unhealthy lifestyle. B. It is caused by anxiety about sleep data. C. It is a true and serious sleep problem. D.

Sleep quality is determined by REM sleep. D. It is harmful to be too worried about sleep data. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. How Can We Get Some Really Nice Sleep? B. It’s Time to Throw Away the Sleep Trackers! C. Your Sleep Tracker May Be Keeping You Awake! D. Can We Find a Better Way to Cure Orthosomnia? 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。 We often think of teamwork in terms of spoken communication. However, nonverbal communication plays an equally vital role in creating an efficient team. ____16____ The foundation of effective team body language is shared awareness. This needs to be aware of your own signals and those of your teammates. ____17____ For example, during a team meeting, if you notice a colleague leaning back with crossed arms while another is passionately explaining an idea, it might signal disagreement or disengagement. Notice this signal and respond with eye contact or a nod to invite them in. This nonverbal response can help make sure all voices are heard. ____18____ Watch a winning basketball team or a skilled surgical team; their movements often flow together naturally. They copy each other’s positions and predict moves without words. This matching of body language is a silent way of showing that you’re “in harmony”. You can encourage this by using open position, matching the group’s energy level, and nodding to show you understand others when they speak. Of course, it’s important to be aware of cultural differences in nonverbal communication. A gesture of approval in one culture might be seen as rude in another. ____19____ The key is to approach these differences with curiosity and respect rather than quick judgment, especially in diverse teams. Ultimately, the goal isn’t to create a team that moves like perfectly matching robots. ____20____ By paying attention to this silent language, teams can solve conflicts faster, build stronger trust, and create an environment where everyone feels safe to contribute. This conscious attention to the unspoken dance can turn a group of individuals into a truly united team. A. Team social activities help build personal connections. B. This means noticing small signals that your teammates keep sending. C. Matching body language is a powerful sign of a united team. D. Rather, develop a shared understanding for better teamwork. E. When many people talk together, it’s hard to hear each person. F. Similarly, comfortable speaking distance varies across cultures. G. These unspoken gestures and eye contact build trust in ways that words sometimes cannot. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Ryan Neighbors, a fourth grader at Tully Elementary in Louisville, was born with spina bifida (脊柱裂) and has to rely on a wheelchair to get around.

He walks on his tiptoes and often loses balance. Besides, he has a speech delay, so he talks slowly and is sometimes hard to understand. Nevertheless, this little boy completely changed my view on life. Three years ago, I was terribly self-centered and cared little about others. After school one day, my father asked me to watch a short video. In the video, I saw disabled children playing baseball. I learned about the Challenger program, which offers them baseball team chances with the help of volunteer buddies (伙伴). Buddies assist kids with vision, walking or mental problems and give them a sense of belonging they lack in life. After watching the video, my dad, president of our town’s baseball league, decided to introduce this program and asked me to work as a volunteer buddy. I soon became interested in helping special-needs children. On the first Sunday, I waited with other volunteers. Soon the players arrived. Then Jack came with his mother. My dad told shy Jack that I would be his buddy for the season. However, Jack hid behind his mom and looked upset. 注意：1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Apparently, Jack didn’t like to play with me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ To my great joy, my efforts paid off and Jack was beginning to accept me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
