She realized reliable transport and poverty were closely linked. For those struggling to get by, a car repair could not only stretch their budgets but also ruin their lives. Cathy often found herself thinking that someone should do something about the lack of affordable car repairs. Then one day, it hit her — maybe that someone was her. In 2008, she quit her full-time job and entered automotive school at 38. She had no experience working with cars, but she had plenty of resolve. If the community needed a garage (修车厂) that made repairs accessible to people in need, she was determined to learn. It wasn’t an easy road, but in 2010 Cathy graduated with a degree in Automotive Service Technology. Over the next few years, she rolled up her sleeves (袖子), gaining experience and learning how to start a nonprofit. By 2013, her vision had become a reality: Cathy officially opened The Lift Garage, a nonprofit auto repair shop that provides low-cost services for low-income Minnesotans. The Lift Garage operates with financial aid and donations, which cover most repair costs. The approach is simple: Cathy sells parts with no markup, and only charges part of the standard labor fee. As word spread, the garage quickly outgrew its original space. By 2018, The Lift Garage had moved into a new five-bay facility, and in 2020, it expanded again with an addition to the building. Today, the organization employs 16 people, many of whom have firsthand experience with poverty or homelessness. They provide affordable repairs, free pre-purchase car inspections, and honest advice. To Cathy, it’s not just about cars. “We’re stronger together. No one has to do it all, but everyone can help. I’m glad to do my part.” 4. What first made Cathy consider fixing cars for others? A. Her interest in car repairs. B. Lack of car repair services. C. Expensive car repair costs. D. Her boredom with social work. 5. How does The Lift Garage keep running? A. By selling auto supplies. B. By using second-hand parts. C. By hiring untrained workers. D. By getting financial support. 6. Why does the author describe the garage’s expansion? A. To prove car repairs are becoming cheaper. B. To show demand for its service grew quickly. C. To suggest garages should move to larger cities. D. To explain why auto repair schools are more popular now. 7. What is the main idea of the text? A. A garage offers free car inspections. B. A garage grew into a famous brand. C. A woman uplifts her community with car repairs. D. A social worker quit her job to learn auto repair. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述社工Cathy Heying创办非营利修车厂，为低收入人群提供平价修车服务的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“For those struggling to get by, a car repair could not only stretch their budgets but also ruin their lives.(对于那些勉强度日的人来说，一次汽车维修不仅会让他们的预算紧张，还可能毁掉他们的生活。)”以及第二段 “Cathy often found herself thinking that someone should do something about the lack of affordable car repairs.(凯茜经常想，应该有人为解决缺乏负担得起的汽车维修服务做点什么。)”可知，Cathy开始考虑为别人修车是因为修车费用太高，低收入人群负担不起。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The Lift Garage operates with financial aid and donations, which cover most repair costs.(The Lift Garage依靠经济援助和捐赠运营，这些资金覆盖了大部分维修成本。)”可知，修车厂是通过获得财政支持来维持运转的。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“As word spread, the garage quickly outgrew its original space. By 2018, The Lift Garage had moved into a new five-bay facility, and in 2020, it expanded again with an addition to the building.(随着消息传开，修车厂很快就超出了原有的空间。到2018年，The Lift Garage已经搬进了一个拥有五个车位的新设施，并在2020年通过对建筑进行扩建而再次扩大了规模。)”可知，描述扩建是为了表明对其服务的需求增长迅速。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。综合全文，文章讲述Cathy从社会工作者转变为汽修师、创办非营利修车厂帮助低收入群体的故事，核心是一位女性通过修车服务提升/帮扶整个社区。C项“A woman uplifts her community with car repairs.(一位女性通过汽车修理提升了她的社区。)”符合。 C As people pay more attention to their own health data, such as step counts and heart rates, pet activity trackers are rapidly entering the market. According to a recent report, the global market for these gadgets is expected to reach $450 million by 2035. However, experts remain split on whether this technology truly benefits animals or is just a costly trend. For some owners, these devices prove highly valuable. Bryan Becker, a resident of Wisconsin, used a tracker for his two-year-old rescue dog, Kodak, who suffered from anxiety and deafness. By monitoring Kodak’s activity and sleep patterns, Becker and his veterinarian (兽医) could find the right amount of medicine to treat his dog’s anxiety. This ensured the dog remained happy and active instead of being overly sleepy. Similarly, companies producing these devices argue that pets naturally hide signs of pain. Therefore, trackers can detect slight changes in vital signs early, alerting owners before a condition becomes critical. Jonathan Bensamoun, CEO of Fi, which develops smart pet technology, emphasizes that artificial intelligence helps interpret complex data, catching gradual health changes that human eyes might miss. Furthermore, supporters suggest trackers can help fight pet obesity (肥胖) by setting clear exercise goals. Despite the enthusiasm, some professionals urge caution. Dr. Elizabeth Mullineaux from the British Veterinary Association warns that these devices can be expensive and unnecessary. She believes owners can gather essential health information through daily observation, such as watching eating or sleeping habits. Over-interpreting the data may cause unnecessary panic. Most importantly, she stresses that these devices should never replace professional medical advice or be used for self-diagnosis (自我诊断). If worried, owners must consult a veterinarian. In addition, Amanda Boag from the Royal Veterinary College acknowledges the potential of this new field. While admitting the technology is still in its early stages, she is cheerful about its future. Her college is even developing an experimental tracker. She believes these tools could significantly improve animal welfare, assist in managing specific diseases, and strengthen communication between veterinarians and pet owners. Ultimately, while pet trackers offer exciting possibilities, they work best as an addition to, rather than a replacement for, professional care and human observation. 8. What does the underlined word “gadgets” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Toys. B. Reports. C. Devices. D. Medicines. 9. Why does the author mention Bryan Becker’s case in paragraph 2? A. To question the overuse of medication. B. To prove the positive role of the tracker. C. To show deaf dogs require special attention. D. To illustrate the high cost of pet healthcare. 10. What can be inferred about pet owners from Jonathan Bensamoun’s words? A. They dislike professional advice. B. They prefer costly trendy devices. C. They tend to ignore pets’ obesity. D. They may miss slight health changes. 11. What is Amanda Boag’s attitude to pet trackers according to paragraph 5? A. Doubtful but tolerant. B. Negative and critical. C. Enthusiastic and positive. D. Optimistic but cautious. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍宠物活动追踪器逐渐走入市场，不同专业人士对该设备的利弊持不同看法，指出它只能作为专业医疗护理和人工观察的补充，不能替代它们。 【8题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第一段“As people pay more attention to their own health data, such as step counts and heart rates, pet activity trackers are rapidly entering the market. According to a recent report, the global market for these gadgets is expected to reach $450 million by 2035.(随着人们越来越关注自身健康数据，比如步数和心率，宠物活动追踪器正迅速进入市场。根据近期一份报告，这类设备的全球市场规模预计到2035年将达到4.5亿美元。)”可知，划线词gadgets指代上文的pet activity trackers，也就是设备。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“For some owners, these devices prove highly valuable. Bryan Becker, a resident of Wisconsin, used a tracker for his two-year-old rescue dog, Kodak, who suffered from anxiety and deafness. By monitoring Kodak’s activity and sleep patterns, Becker and his veterinarian (兽医) could find the right amount of medicine to treat his dog’s anxiety.(对一些主人来说，这些设备非常有价值。威斯康星州居民布莱恩・贝克尔为他两岁的救援犬柯达佩戴追踪器，这只狗患有焦虑症且失聪。通过监测柯达的活动和睡眠模式，贝克尔和兽医能够找到合适剂量的药物来治疗狗的焦虑症。)”可知，作者举Bryan Becker的例子是为了证明追踪器的积极作用。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Jonathan Bensamoun, CEO of Fi, which develops smart pet technology, emphasizes that artificial intelligence helps interpret complex data, catching gradual health changes that human eyes might miss.(研发宠物智能设备的Fi公司首席执行官乔纳森・本萨蒙强调，人工智能有助于解读复杂数据，捕捉到人类肉眼可能忽视的缓慢健康变化。)”可知，宠物主人有可能忽略宠物细微的健康变化。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“In addition, Amanda Boag from the Royal Veterinary College acknowledges the potential of this new field. While admitting the technology is still in its early stages, she is cheerful about its future. Her college is even developing an experimental tracker. She believes these tools could significantly improve animal welfare, assist in managing specific diseases, and strengthen communication between veterinarians and pet owners.(此外，皇家兽医学院的阿曼达・博格认可这个新领域的潜力。尽管她承认这项技术仍处在早期阶段，但她对它的前景十分看好。她所在的学院甚至正在研发一款实验性追踪器。她认为这些工具能够极大改善动物福利，助力特定疾病的管理，并增进兽医与宠物主人之间的沟通。)”可知，Amanda Boag认可宠物追踪器的发展潜力，对这项技术抱有很高期待，态度热情且积极。 D Nowadays, almost everyone stores thousands of photos on their mobile phones, covering daily dinners, beautiful sunsets and travel scenery. However, most of these pictures are never viewed again. People mostly take photos to document experiences and preserve memories of meaningful moments. Surprisingly, scientific research has found that this common habit may do harm to our memory instead of protecting it. A new study published in Memory & Cognition has provided powerful evidence for this idea. The researchers carried out seven different experiments on 892 participants to explore the influence of screenshotting on people’s memory. The results were consistent: participants failed to remember the details of the pictures they had taken, while they performed much better on the images they only watched carefully without taking any photos. The research team also tried to find possible benefits of photo-taking to make up for the memory loss, but they got no positive results. Scientists refer to this strange situation as the “photo-taking impairment (损害) effect” and have put forward two key reasons. First, taking photos distracts (分散) people’s attention, stopping their brains from fully processing and storing information. More importantly, it leads to “cognitive (认知的) offloading”. Once people save moments as photos, their brains will stop working hard to keep those memories, since they believe the photos can serve as permanent records. This is just like the “Google effect”, in which people may be less likely to memorize knowledge that can be easily searched online. Further experiments proved that different testing time periods do not change this result. Even if people know they will take a memory test soon, screenshotting still weakens their memory. Though a few earlier studies hold opposite opinions, this new study reminds us that over-reliance on photos may gradually make us lose the ability to remember precious life moments by heart. 12. How does the author introduce the topic? A. By giving scientific data. B. By telling a personal story. C. By comparing different studies. D. By presenting a common phenomenon. 13. What did the seven experiments show about screenshotting? A. It helped recall small details. B. It affected memory for the pictures. C. It reduced people’s judgement. D. It brought clear learning benefits. 14. What does “cognitive offloading” basically mean? A. Brains fail to process complex information quickly. B. Taking photos occupies people’s mental resources. C. People ignore the importance of daily memory training. D. People depend on photos instead of memorizing actively. 15. Why does the author write the text? A. To report a memory risk. B. To teach photo skills. C. To praise real-life memories. D. To criticize screenshotting. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍了一个科学发现，人们习惯用手机拍照记录生活，但这种行为反而可能损害记忆，即“拍照损害效应”，并分析了其背后的两个原因。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。文章第一段开头讲到“Nowadays, almost everyone stores thousands of photos on their mobile phones, covering daily dinners, beautiful sunsets and travel scenery. However, most of these pictures are never viewed again.(如今，几乎每个人的手机里都存着成千上万张照片，涵盖日常晚餐、美丽的日落和旅行风景。然而，这些照片大多再也不会被翻看)”，此处通过呈现一个普遍存在的社会现象来引出话题，随后才引出研究发现。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The researchers carried out seven different experiments on 892 participants to explore the influence of screenshotting on people’s memory. The results were consistent: participants failed to remember the details of the pictures they had taken, while they performed much better on the images they only watched carefully without taking any photos. (研究人员对892名参与者开展了七项不同的实验，以探究截图行为对人们记忆的影响。结果一致表明：参与者对自己拍过的照片，反而记不清细节；而对于那些只认真看过但没有拍照的图像，他们的记忆表现则明显更好。)”可知，截图（拍照）影响了人们对这些图片的记忆。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“Once people save moments as photos, their brains will stop working hard to keep those memories, since they believe the photos can serve as permanent records.(一旦人们把瞬间保存为照片，他们的大脑就会停止努力去保留这些记忆，因为他们认为照片可以作为永久的记录。)”可知，人们把瞬间保存为照片后，他们的大脑就会停止努力去保留这些记忆，可推理出“cognitive offloading”指的是人们依赖照片，而不再主动去记忆。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“scientific research has found that this common habit may do harm to our memory instead of protecting it(科学研究发现，这种常见的习惯可能会损害我们的记忆，而不是保护记忆)”和最后一段“this new study reminds us that over-reliance on photos may gradually make us lose the ability to remember precious life moments by heart(这项新研究提醒我们，过度依赖照片可能会逐渐让我们失去用心记住珍贵生活瞬间的能力)”可知，这种常见的习惯可能会损害我们的记忆，它提醒我们，过度依赖照片可能会逐渐让我们失去用心记住珍贵生活瞬间的能力，可推理出作者写这篇文章是为了报告一种记忆风险。 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。 Yesterday I went for a walk along a forest path in Morvern, Scotland. ____16____ Then it runs through a quiet valley, climbs the hillside, passes a nature reserve with mountains on the other side, and soon enters a rainforest. After a while the path rises to a viewpoint, where a chair lets me catch my breath. Then it goes down to the ruins of an old village. Long ago a landlord (地主) who lived far away had forced the villagers to leave their homes. One villager, Mary Cameron, later told a moving story of being driven away. ____17____ Even her sad story seemed to sink into the quiet around me. ____18____ Of course, there are sounds — streams, a distant waterfall, wind in trees — but all sit in deep silence. This silence comes from the absence of the noise that fills the world most of us live in today. That noise, from traffic, machines, planes, and electronics, is everywhere and hard to get away from. ____19____ In nearly every public place, it is made even louder by piped music, which anaesthetizes (使麻木) us as we go about our daily business. We are lucky in Scotland to still have quiet spaces where we can go to feel the peace and the calming power of silence. But silence, like clean air or clean water, is something that needs to be protected. ____20____ People often speak of a “deafening silence”, but this expression is misleading. Silence does not deafen us — it awakens us. A. The path starts near the shore of a lake. B. In today’s world, silence has become so valuable. C. But what strikes me most about the walk is the silence. D. This ever-growing noise never stops in towns and cities. E. Her words, recorded in a book, still touch us deeply today. F. It is easy to destroy silence in the pursuit of economic gain. G. Feeling tired after climbing, I sat down and enjoyed the peace. 【答案】16. A 17. E 18. C 19. D 20. F 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了作者在苏格兰莫文的林间小径散步的经历。 【16题详解】 下文“Then it runs through a quiet valley, climbs the hillside, passes a nature reserve with mountains on the other side, and soon enters a rainforest.( 然后穿过幽静的山谷，爬上山坡，经过一片自然保护区，保护区对面群山连绵，没多久就进入一片雨林。)”中的Then it runs…是小路行进的后续路线，所以空格处交代小路起点。A 选项“小路从湖岸附近开始”和下文then承接，构成路线顺序。 【17题详解】 根据上文“One villager, Mary Cameron, later told a moving story of being driven away.(一位名叫玛丽・卡梅伦的村民后来讲述了自己被驱赶的感人故事。)”和下文“Even her sad story seemed to sink into the quiet around me.(就连她悲伤的故事，也仿佛融入了周遭的静谧之中。)”可知，上文提到Mary讲述了被驱逐的动人故事，E选项“她的文字被收录在书中，至今依然深深打动我们。”中的Her words指代Mary的故事文字，承接她的故事，和下文her sad story呼应。 【18题详解】 根据下文“Of course, there are sounds — streams, a distant waterfall, wind in trees — but all sit in deep silence.( 当然这里并非毫无声响 —— 溪流声、远处瀑布声、林间风声，但是所有这些声音都笼罩在深沉的安静里。)”可知，整段围绕 silence（寂静）展开。上文写沿途风景、村庄往事，本段转向核心感受：寂静。C选项“但是这次散步最触动我的，是这份寂静。”起到承上启下的作用，引出本段主题silence。 【19题详解】 根据上文“That noise, from traffic, machines, planes, and electronics, is everywhere and hard to get away from.(交通、机器、飞机、电子设备带来的噪音无处不在，难以躲避。)”和下文“In nearly every public place, it is made even louder by piped music, which anaesthetizes (使麻木) us as we go about our daily business.(几乎在所有公共场所，背景音乐还会让噪音变得更加嘈杂，在我们日常做事的时候，慢慢让我们变得麻木。)”可知，上文指出现代社会的噪音无处不在，难以摆脱。D选项“在城镇里，这种不断增多的噪音永不停歇。”中This ever-growing noise承接上文的that noise，继续讲城镇里噪音持续不断，下文再进一步补充公共场所背景音乐加剧噪音。 【20题详解】 上文“But silence, like clean air or clean water, is something that needs to be protected.(但是寂静，就像洁净的空气、洁净的水源一样，是需要被保护的东西。)”提到寂静需要保护，F选项“在追逐经济利益的过程中，寂静很容易被破坏。”解释原因，逻辑顺承。 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。 I was born in California and raised mostly between Southern California and Miami.

She had spent years saying yes to others; now she wanted time to breathe. Yet when she and her husband moved into a small house in Corvallis, Oregon, the patch (一小片) of grass behind the house did not look like wasteland to her — it looked like a promise. The house was modest, with a narrow kitchen and a porch (门廊) that caught the afternoon sun. The grass, though untidy and full of weeds, stretched back toward open sky. She would stand at the window with her coffee, studying it. To her husband, it was simply a yard where the grass needed cutting. To Jean-Marie, it was space waiting to be used well. For much of her life, Jean-Marie had worked in public service. She once gathered volunteers for community programs, organizing food drives, after-school activities and neighborhood clean-ups. Later, she worked with Child Protective Services, where she listened to families in crisis and tried to connect them with help. Later still, she went to a Native American reservation in South Dakota to give out food. But that experience troubled her deeply. Much of the donated food was heavily processed cheese and canned meat that hardly looked tasty or healthy. Seeing families accept such food with quiet gratitude broke her heart. She kept wondering why help so often felt like leftovers rather than care. Tired and let down by the hard reality, she left the job and started making soap by hand to earn money for her two sons’ college education. Neighbors bought her soap, and the small business gave her purpose, but it did not fully answer the question she kept asking herself: how could she feed people well? Life became much calmer, and the house was full of the fresh smell of flowers and fruit. Yet the strong wish to help people in need never disappeared. It stayed with her during quiet mornings and long walks, waiting for a way to become real. 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。 One day, looking at the patch of grass, she said, “It’s time to grow something real and useful.” __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With so much fresh produce, Jean-Marie began donating it to food banks.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 One day, looking at the patch of grass, she said, “It’s time to grow something real and useful.” The land sat just one mile from the Marys River, and hundreds of years of river floods had left the soil thick and full of nutrients. With her two sons and a kind neighbor’s help, she spent three full months turning the wild land into farmland. They dug deep into the ground, removed stones and broke the hard earth into soft, loose soil. Half of this new land became a vegetable garden, while the other half was turned into a small fruit garden planted with young apple trees. Soon, the garden produced plenty of vegetables and fruit. With so much fresh produce, Jean-Marie began donating it to food banks. Every week, she loaded baskets of ripe tomatoes, greens and peppers into her old pickup, driving them straight to local food banks. Volunteers there were surprised at how fresh and colorful the vegetables looked, far different from the usual canned goods on their shelves. Soon, families coming for supplies started asking where the lovely produce came from, and many left with bags full of the first truly fresh food they had gotten in months. Word of the small garden’s gift spread quickly across the town. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了Jean-Marie长期从事公共服务，热心帮扶弱势群体，但在印第安保留地分发援助食物时，发现捐赠食品多是不健康的加工食品，这份援助缺少真正的关怀，这件事令她十分难过。之后她离职手工制皂，过上平静生活，可如何给有需要的人提供优质食物的困惑与助人的心愿一直萦绕心头。搬到新家后，屋后那片杂草丛生的空地，在她眼里是实现这份心愿的希望。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写让-玛丽发现这片土地土质肥沃，在儿子和邻居的帮助下，耗时三个月把荒地开垦成菜园和果园，很快收获了大量蔬果。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写她将新鲜蔬果捐赠给食物救济站。这些新鲜食材和罐头食品差别很大，深受受助家庭欢迎，花园善举迅速在镇上传开。 2.续写线索：开垦荒地——收获大量蔬果——捐赠蔬果——深受欢迎——善举传开 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①把……变成……：turn…into…/transform…into… ②移除：remove/get rid of 情绪类 ①感到惊讶的：surprised/amazed ②可爱的：lovely/adorable 【点睛】[高分句型1] Every week, she loaded baskets of ripe tomatoes, greens and peppers into her old pickup, driving them straight to local food banks.（运用了现在分词短语作状语） [高分句型2] Soon, families coming for supplies started asking where the lovely produce came from, and many left with bags full of the first truly fresh food they had gotten in months.（运用了where引导宾语从句，省略了that的定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高三年级过程性作业评价 英语 注意事项： 1．答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、班级、考场号、座位号、考生号填写在答题卡上。 2．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动,用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3．考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。 1.

B In the early 2000s, social worker Cathy Heying noticed a common situation: a single car problem could set off a chain reaction, risking people’s jobs, health and housing. She realized reliable transport and poverty were closely linked. For those struggling to get by, a car repair could not only stretch their budgets but also ruin their lives. Cathy often found herself thinking that someone should do something about the lack of affordable car repairs. Then one day, it hit her — maybe that someone was her. In 2008, she quit her full-time job and entered automotive school at 38. She had no experience working with cars, but she had plenty of resolve. If the community needed a garage (修车厂) that made repairs accessible to people in need, she was determined to learn. It wasn’t an easy road, but in 2010 Cathy graduated with a degree in Automotive Service Technology. Over the next few years, she rolled up her sleeves (袖子), gaining experience and learning how to start a nonprofit. By 2013, her vision had become a reality: Cathy officially opened The Lift Garage, a nonprofit auto repair shop that provides low-cost services for low-income Minnesotans. The Lift Garage operates with financial aid and donations, which cover most repair costs. The approach is simple: Cathy sells parts with no markup, and only charges part of the standard labor fee. As word spread, the garage quickly outgrew its original space. By 2018, The Lift Garage had moved into a new five-bay facility, and in 2020, it expanded again with an addition to the building. Today, the organization employs 16 people, many of whom have firsthand experience with poverty or homelessness. They provide affordable repairs, free pre-purchase car inspections, and honest advice. To Cathy, it’s not just about cars. “We’re stronger together. No one has to do it all, but everyone can help. I’m glad to do my part.” 4. What first made Cathy consider fixing cars for others? A. Her interest in car repairs. B. Lack of car repair services. C. Expensive car repair costs. D. Her boredom with social work. 5. How does The Lift Garage keep running? A. By selling auto supplies. B. By using second-hand parts. C. By hiring untrained workers. D. By getting financial support. 6. Why does the author describe the garage’s expansion? A. To prove car repairs are becoming cheaper. B. To show demand for its service grew quickly. C. To suggest garages should move to larger cities. D. To explain why auto repair schools are more popular now. 7. What is the main idea of the text? A. A garage offers free car inspections. B. A garage grew into a famous brand. C. A woman uplifts her community with car repairs. D. A social worker quit her job to learn auto repair. C As people pay more attention to their own health data, such as step counts and heart rates, pet activity trackers are rapidly entering the market. According to a recent report, the global market for these gadgets is expected to reach $450 million by 2035. However, experts remain split on whether this technology truly benefits animals or is just a costly trend. For some owners, these devices prove highly valuable. Bryan Becker, a resident of Wisconsin, used a tracker for his two-year-old rescue dog, Kodak, who suffered from anxiety and deafness. By monitoring Kodak’s activity and sleep patterns, Becker and his veterinarian (兽医) could find the right amount of medicine to treat his dog’s anxiety. This ensured the dog remained happy and active instead of being overly sleepy. Similarly, companies producing these devices argue that pets naturally hide signs of pain. Therefore, trackers can detect slight changes in vital signs early, alerting owners before a condition becomes critical. Jonathan Bensamoun, CEO of Fi, which develops smart pet technology, emphasizes that artificial intelligence helps interpret complex data, catching gradual health changes that human eyes might miss. Furthermore, supporters suggest trackers can help fight pet obesity (肥胖) by setting clear exercise goals. Despite the enthusiasm, some professionals urge caution. Dr. Elizabeth Mullineaux from the British Veterinary Association warns that these devices can be expensive and unnecessary. She believes owners can gather essential health information through daily observation, such as watching eating or sleeping habits. Over-interpreting the data may cause unnecessary panic. Most importantly, she stresses that these devices should never replace professional medical advice or be used for self-diagnosis (自我诊断). If worried, owners must consult a veterinarian. In addition, Amanda Boag from the Royal Veterinary College acknowledges the potential of this new field. While admitting the technology is still in its early stages, she is cheerful about its future. Her college is even developing an experimental tracker. She believes these tools could significantly improve animal welfare, assist in managing specific diseases, and strengthen communication between veterinarians and pet owners. Ultimately, while pet trackers offer exciting possibilities, they work best as an addition to, rather than a replacement for, professional care and human observation. 8. What does the underlined word “gadgets” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Toys. B. Reports. C. Devices. D. Medicines. 9. Why does the author mention Bryan Becker’s case in paragraph 2? A. To question the overuse of medication. B. To prove the positive role of the tracker. C. To show deaf dogs require special attention. D. To illustrate the high cost of pet healthcare. 10. What can be inferred about pet owners from Jonathan Bensamoun’s words? A. They dislike professional advice. B. They prefer costly trendy devices. C. They tend to ignore pets’ obesity. D. They may miss slight health changes. 11. What is Amanda Boag’s attitude to pet trackers according to paragraph 5? A. Doubtful but tolerant. B. Negative and critical. C. Enthusiastic and positive. D. Optimistic but cautious. D Nowadays, almost everyone stores thousands of photos on their mobile phones, covering daily dinners, beautiful sunsets and travel scenery. However, most of these pictures are never viewed again. People mostly take photos to document experiences and preserve memories of meaningful moments. Surprisingly, scientific research has found that this common habit may do harm to our memory instead of protecting it. A new study published in Memory & Cognition has provided powerful evidence for this idea. The researchers carried out seven different experiments on 892 participants to explore the influence of screenshotting on people’s memory. The results were consistent: participants failed to remember the details of the pictures they had taken, while they performed much better on the images they only watched carefully without taking any photos. The research team also tried to find possible benefits of photo-taking to make up for the memory loss, but they got no positive results. Scientists refer to this strange situation as the “photo-taking impairment (损害) effect” and have put forward two key reasons. First, taking photos distracts (分散) people’s attention, stopping their brains from fully processing and storing information. More importantly, it leads to “cognitive (认知的) offloading”. Once people save moments as photos, their brains will stop working hard to keep those memories, since they believe the photos can serve as permanent records. This is just like the “Google effect”, in which people may be less likely to memorize knowledge that can be easily searched online. Further experiments proved that different testing time periods do not change this result. Even if people know they will take a memory test soon, screenshotting still weakens their memory. Though a few earlier studies hold opposite opinions, this new study reminds us that over-reliance on photos may gradually make us lose the ability to remember precious life moments by heart. 12. How does the author introduce the topic? A. By giving scientific data. B. By telling a personal story. C. By comparing different studies. D. By presenting a common phenomenon. 13. What did the seven experiments show about screenshotting? A. It helped recall small details. B. It affected memory for the pictures. C. It reduced people’s judgement. D. It brought clear learning benefits. 14. What does “cognitive offloading” basically mean? A. Brains fail to process complex information quickly. B. Taking photos occupies people’s mental resources. C. People ignore the importance of daily memory training. D. People depend on photos instead of memorizing actively. 15. Why does the author write the text? A. To report a memory risk. B.

After a while the path rises to a viewpoint, where a chair lets me catch my breath. Then it goes down to the ruins of an old village. Long ago a landlord (地主) who lived far away had forced the villagers to leave their homes. One villager, Mary Cameron, later told a moving story of being driven away. ____17____ Even her sad story seemed to sink into the quiet around me. ____18____ Of course, there are sounds — streams, a distant waterfall, wind in trees — but all sit in deep silence. This silence comes from the absence of the noise that fills the world most of us live in today. That noise, from traffic, machines, planes, and electronics, is everywhere and hard to get away from. ____19____ In nearly every public place, it is made even louder by piped music, which anaesthetizes (使麻木) us as we go about our daily business. We are lucky in Scotland to still have quiet spaces where we can go to feel the peace and the calming power of silence. But silence, like clean air or clean water, is something that needs to be protected. ____20____ People often speak of a “deafening silence”, but this expression is misleading. Silence does not deafen us — it awakens us. A. The path starts near the shore of a lake. B. In today’s world, silence has become so valuable. C. But what strikes me most about the walk is the silence. D. This ever-growing noise never stops in towns and cities. E. Her words, recorded in a book, still touch us deeply today. F. It is easy to destroy silence in the pursuit of economic gain. G. Feeling tired after climbing, I sat down and enjoyed the peace. 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。 I was born in California and raised mostly between Southern California and Miami.

She had spent years saying yes to others; now she wanted time to breathe. Yet when she and her husband moved into a small house in Corvallis, Oregon, the patch (一小片) of grass behind the house did not look like wasteland to her — it looked like a promise. The house was modest, with a narrow kitchen and a porch (门廊) that caught the afternoon sun. The grass, though untidy and full of weeds, stretched back toward open sky. She would stand at the window with her coffee, studying it. To her husband, it was simply a yard where the grass needed cutting. To Jean-Marie, it was space waiting to be used well. For much of her life, Jean-Marie had worked in public service. She once gathered volunteers for community programs, organizing food drives, after-school activities and neighborhood clean-ups. Later, she worked with Child Protective Services, where she listened to families in crisis and tried to connect them with help. Later still, she went to a Native American reservation in South Dakota to give out food. But that experience troubled her deeply. Much of the donated food was heavily processed cheese and canned meat that hardly looked tasty or healthy. Seeing families accept such food with quiet gratitude broke her heart. She kept wondering why help so often felt like leftovers rather than care. Tired and let down by the hard reality, she left the job and started making soap by hand to earn money for her two sons’ college education. Neighbors bought her soap, and the small business gave her purpose, but it did not fully answer the question she kept asking herself: how could she feed people well? Life became much calmer, and the house was full of the fresh smell of flowers and fruit. Yet the strong wish to help people in need never disappeared. It stayed with her during quiet mornings and long walks, waiting for a way to become real. 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。 One day, looking at the patch of grass, she said, “It’s time to grow something real and useful.” __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With so much fresh produce, Jean-Marie began donating it to food banks.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
