Student discounts apply only on weekdays. To avoid harming the fragile rock environment and local wildlife, visitors are strictly forbidden from stepping off marked paths. Groups with over 12 members must submit a booking form two days ahead. Camping anywhere in the valley is banned to preserve its natural ecosystem. Sunset Cliff This open cliff offers wide, amazing views of the distant lake and rolling hills. Student tickets are available all year except major public holidays. All visitors must stay inside safety fences, for unmarked cliff edges are extremely slippery after rain. Small parties do not need advance reservation. Overnight camping is forbidden here to prevent wildfire risks on the dry hillside. Ancient Tea Hamlet This old mountain village has kept traditional tea-making skills alive for centuries. Students with valid ID can enjoy reduced prices every day. Free walking maps are provided at the village gate. Reservations are required only for guided group tours. Visitors can put up tents in a special camping zone far away from old wooden buildings to reduce fire danger. Lotus Wetland Park It is most attractive in summer when lotus flowers are in full bloom. Student discounts are not available on weekends or holidays. Visitors can walk along wooden boardwalks through reed beds and observe water birds. All groups, whatever their size, must book entry ahead of time. Camping is not permitted anywhere within the wetland protection area. 21. What preparation should a student group of 15 make before visiting Mist Valley Waterfall on Sunday? A. Book a professional guide. B. Pay the full price for admission. C. Find a proper camping area. D. Get free maps at the entrance. 22. What can we infer about Ancient Tea Hamlet? A. It values the protection of its ancient buildings. B. Free maps are designed mainly for student groups. C. Visitors must join guided tours to enter. D. Student discounts are limited to weekdays. 23. What do Sunset Cliff and Lotus Wetland Park have in common? A. Student discounts are unavailable on holidays. B. Visitors must stay within safety fences all the time. C. Any group needs to make reservations in advance. D. Camping activities are not allowed on the sites. 【答案】21. B 22. A 23. D 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍四处适合短途一日游的景点，分别说明各景点优惠、预约、露营及游览规定等信息。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据Mist Valley Waterfall部分“Student discounts apply only on weekdays.(学生优惠仅在工作日适用。)”可知，周日没有学生折扣，这个15人的学生团需要付全价。 【22题详解】 推理判断题。根据Ancient Tea Hamlet部分“Visitors can put up tents in a special camping zone far away from old wooden buildings to reduce fire danger.(游客可以在远离老旧木质建筑的专属露营区域搭帐篷，以此降低火灾风险。)”可知，古茶村重视古建筑的保护。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据Sunset Cliff部分“Overnight camping is forbidden here to prevent wildfire risks on the dry hillside.(这里禁止过夜露营，避免干燥山坡发生野火。)”以及Lotus Wetland Park部分“Camping is not permitted anywhere within the wetland protection area.(湿地保护区内任何地方都不允许露营。)”可知，两处景点都禁止露营。 B Last week, I emerged from the Tube in central London for a day that would once have been unthinkable. First, I bought a morning coffee. Then I went out for a box of sushi. A few hours later, I dropped into a mini-supermarket to buy some tea bags. Each time, I had zero contact with a human. Instead, I ordered and paid for everything using one of the touchscreens that now pepper our life. Looking back, I find it hard to remember the last time I bought anything entirely from a person. The business logic is obvious: screens reduce staff costs, shorten waiting lines, and encourage more purchases through appealing food photos and non-judgmental ordering. I believe that customers often prefer the ease and speed of touchscreens and that not all human interactions are enjoyable. Yet, I still prefer a world with more time-consuming people than machines. It’s not just because machines often fail, but because finding a human can be exciting. That’s why I was surprised during a recent trip to Brazil, where I found so many staff in a local supermarket — at checkouts, in aisles, upstairs — that I took photos to show people back home. Two men even helped me decide which umbrella suited me best. That novel experience heartened me so much that I wasn’t surprised to learn some European retailers (零售商) are boosting such human interaction. The Dutch chain Jumbo introduced a slower “chat checkout” for customers to talk with cashiers and expanded it to about 200 stores, especially in places where loneliness was a big problem. Earlier this year, an expert noted software engineers felt lonely when they turned to AI instead of their co-workers. I find this easy to imagine. Technology can lead us down many paths, but that does not mean all should be taken. 24. What is a feature of the author’s shopping habit in London? A. Interacting with store staff. B. Placing orders on the phone. C. Using self-service machines. D. Avoiding mini-supermarkets. 25. Which word best describes the author’s shopping experience in Brazil? A. Pleasing. B. Annoying. C. Disappointing. D. Amusing. 26. Why did Jumbo introduce “chat checkout”? A. To expand its business. B. To simplify the checkout process. C. To help its employees fight loneliness. D. To encourage interpersonal communication. 27. What message does the author deliver in the text? A. The best is yet to come. B. Convenience comes at a cost. C. All roads lead to Rome. D. Every cloud has a silver lining. 【答案】24. C 25. A 26. D 27. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述作者在伦敦自助购物的经历，表达科技便利的同时，人际交流不可或缺。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Each time, I had zero contact with a human. Instead, I ordered and paid for everything using one of the touchscreens that now pepper our life.(每一次，我都没有和任何人接触。取而代之的是，我通过如今遍布我们生活的触摸屏下单并支付所有东西。)”可知，作者在伦敦购物使用自助设备。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“That novel experience heartened me so much that I wasn’t surprised to learn some European retailers are boosting such human interaction.(这段新奇的经历让我备受鼓舞，所以当得知一些欧洲零售商正在促进这类人际互动时，我并不感到意外。)”可知，巴西的购物经历令人愉悦。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“The Dutch chain Jumbo introduced a slower “chat checkout” for customers to talk with cashiers and expanded it to about 200 stores, especially in places where loneliness was a big problem.(荷兰连锁超市Jumbo推出更慢的“聊天收银台”，让顾客可以和收银员交谈，并推广到约200家门店，尤其是在孤独问题突出的地区。)”可知，该举措是为鼓励人际交流。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文以及最后一段“Earlier this year, an expert noted software engineers felt lonely when they turned to AI instead of their co-workers. I find this easy to imagine. Technology can lead us down many paths, but that does not mean all should be taken.(今年早些时候，一位专家注意到：软件工程师在求助人工智能而非同事时，会感到孤独。我对此不难想象。科技可以引领我们走向许多不同的道路，但这并不意味着所有道路都该去走)”可知，作者认为自助设备带来便利，但也缺失人与人之间的交流，这种便利是有代价的。“Convenience comes at a cost.(便利是有代价的)”符合题意。 C In an age where short videos and quick online comments flood our daily life, many of us have formed a habit of jumping to conclusions the moment we receive new information. This habit of fast thinking, which feels efficient and satisfying, has gradually weakened our ability to practise slow thinking — a deliberate process of weighing evidence, recognizing hidden assumptions and examining our own biases before reaching a final judgment. Though slow thinking is often mistaken for being slow-witted or hesitant, it is actually a skill that demands great mental effort. When we are trapped in fast thinking mode, we tend to rely on first impressions and popular opinions, which can easily lead us to make shallow or even wrong decisions. Slow thinking, by contrast, encourages us to pause, dig deeper into complex problems and separate reliable facts from persuasive but misleading remarks. It does not mean putting off decisions endlessly; instead, it means refusing to let automatic reactions take control of our judgment. Some people argue that slow thinking is a luxury that few students can afford, given the tight schedules and frequent exams they face. This argument overlooks an important truth: training ourselves to think slowly does not require hours of free time. It can be practised in small moments, such as when we read a news story, discuss a controversial topic or work out a difficult problem. Each time we force ourselves to question “Is this solid enough?” rather than accepting an idea instantly, we are strengthening this valuable thinking muscle. The greatest barrier to slow thinking is not lack of time, but our discomfort with uncertainty. Our brains are naturally eager to settle on a clear answer as quickly as possible, even if the available information is incomplete. If we can tolerate this temporary state of uncertainty and resist the urge for instant answers, we will grow into more careful, rational thinkers who are less likely to be misled by online rumors and one-sided views. 28. The underlined word “biases” in Paragraph 1 most probably means ______. A. solid evidence B. unfair prejudices C. hidden dangers D. instant reactions 29. What can we infer from Paragraph 2? A. Slow thinking equals being slow in response. B. Fast thinking always helps us make quick correct decisions. C. Slow thinking helps us tell true facts from misleading information. D. People with slow thinking habits usually delay decisions on purpose. 30. Why is slow thinking hard for most people? A. Their brains hate staying in an uncertain state. B. They have too many exams to finish on time. C. They believe fast thinking is more reliable. D. They are not able to understand complex problems. 31. What is the author’s main purpose of the text? A. To compare the advantages and disadvantages of fast thinking. B. To warn students of the pressure brought by tight study schedules. C. To explain the value of slow thinking and encourage readers to develop it. D. To introduce the research on how our brain deals with online information. 【答案】28. B 29. C 30. A 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文指出快思考习惯的弊端，阐释慢思考的内涵与价值，分析践行慢思考的阻碍，呼吁读者练习慢思考。 【28题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“a deliberate process of weighing evidence, recognizing hidden assumptions and examining our own biases before reaching a final judgment (在做出最终判断前，权衡证据、识别隐藏预设、审视自身____)”可知，biases与前文的“权衡证据”和“识别预设”构成并列的理性思考步骤。在做出最终判断前，需要审视自身固有的偏向或成见，由此推断biases意为“偏见”，与unfair prejudices意义相近。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Slow thinking, by contrast, encourages us to pause, dig deeper into complex problems and separate reliable facts from persuasive but misleading remarks. (相反，慢思考促使我们停下脚步，深入探究复杂问题，将可靠事实与有说服力但具有误导性的言论区分开。)”可知，慢思考可以帮助我们分辨事实和误导信息。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The greatest barrier to slow thinking is not lack of time, but our discomfort with uncertainty. Our brains are naturally eager to settle on a clear answer as quickly as possible (慢思考最大的阻碍不是缺少时间，而是我们难以接受不确定性。我们的大脑天生急于尽快得到明确答案)”可知，大脑不愿处于不确定状态，导致慢思考很难实现。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“If we can tolerate this temporary state of uncertainty and resist the urge for instant answers, we will grow into more careful, rational thinkers who are less likely to be misled by online rumors and one-sided views. (如果我们能够忍受这种暂时的不确定状态，克制立刻得到答案的冲动，我们就能成为更审慎、理性的思考者，不容易被网络谣言和片面观点误导。)”可知，本文旨在阐释慢思考的价值并鼓励读者培养该思维方式。 D The Chinese money plant, Pilea peperomioides, is a popular houseplant famous for round, bright green leaves that bring gentle warmth to indoor spaces. Plant lovers often place it on desks or windowsills, admiring its neat coin-shaped foliage and keeping it as a decorative companion for years. For a long time, people only appreciated its pleasing beauty, unaware that a precise structure shaped by long-term natural selection hides inside its leaves. Recent biophysical research has uncovered this clever design, which helps the plant keep normal life activities going during long periods of hot, dry weather, when many similar shade plants struggle to stay alive. Elijah Blum first caught sight of this feature while caring for his sister’s plant, which stayed alive through several dry spells with little regular watering. Working part-time in a plant physiology lab then, he had learned to spot tiny structural differences most ordinary observers would easily ignore. What amazed him was that its leaf veins grew in a well-organized pattern, totally different from the random branching veins of most broad-leaf plants. Later lab tests proved this special vein system transports water and nutrients steadily to support steady leaf growth. To figure out how this special structure works, the research team tracked leaf development over months and carried out repeated evaporation tests. Unlike many plants with disordered vein networks, its veins are arranged around tiny leaf pores called stomata — the openings from which water escapes into the air. Instead of stretching toward these pores, veins keep a safe distance, forming a balanced network across the whole leaf. This simple arrangement brings clear survival benefits. Since water-carrying veins stay away from stomata, the plant avoids rapid water loss on hot dry days. It can store enough water in leaf tissues to maintain necessary biological functions even if soil moisture drops sharply. Scientists see this evolved structure as a valuable natural model. Plants’ smart ways of moving water and energy have inspired engineers to improve water-saving irrigation systems and develop passive cooling materials for green buildings. Nature, after millions of years of natural selection, offers low-energy solutions that human designers are still exploring and learning from. 32. What can we infer about the Chinese money plant from the first two paragraphs? A. Its attractive appearance makes it survive dry hot conditions easily. B. Most plant lovers have known its special leaf structure for a long time. C. Blum found its unique vein pattern when doing formal lab experiments. D. It has a hidden evolved structure that helps it survive dry conditions. 33. What is the author’s purpose in writing Paragraph 3? A. To explain the way researchers explored the function of the structure. B. To show how stomata control the growth rate of this houseplant. C. To compare the pore sizes of different kinds of household plants. D. To recommend new shade plants suitable for dry living environments. 34. What message can we get from the description of the structure’s survival advantage? A. Most broad-leaf plants possess neatly arranged vein networks. B. The special layout of veins slows the rate of water loss in hot conditions. C. Engineers have widely adopted this structure to produce building materials. D. Stomata serve as the main storage area to hold water inside plant leaves. 35. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Natural Structures Fueling Breakthroughs in Modern Engineering B. A Hidden Smart Design in a Houseplant’s Leaves C. How Stomata Control Water Loss in Broad-leaf Plants D. Survival Skills for Houseplants in Hot Dry Environments 【答案】32. D 33. A 34. B 35. B 【解析】 【导语】文章讲述镜面草叶片藏有精巧叶脉结构，助其耐旱，该结构还可为工程设计提供灵感。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Recent biophysical research has uncovered this clever design, which helps the plant keep normal life activities going during long periods of hot, dry weather, when many similar shade plants struggle to stay alive.(近期的生物物理研究发现了这一巧妙构造，它能帮助该植物在漫长炎热干旱的天气里维持正常生命活动，而很多同类喜阴植物都难以存活。)”可知，镜面草拥有隐秘的进化结构，帮助它在干旱环境存活。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“To figure out how this special structure works, the research team tracked leaf development over months and carried out repeated evaporation tests.(为弄清楚这种特殊结构如何发挥作用，研究团队连续数月追踪叶片发育，并开展多次蒸发实验。)”可知，本段介绍研究者探究该结构功能的方式。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Since water-carrying veins stay away from stomata, the plant avoids rapid water loss on hot dry days.(因为输水叶脉远离气孔，这种植物可以在炎热干旱的日子避免水分快速流失。)”可知，叶脉特殊布局减缓高温环境下水分流失速度。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文特别是根据第一段“For a long time, people only appreciated its pleasing beauty, unaware that a precise structure shaped by long-term natural selection hides inside its leaves.(长期以来人们只欣赏它好看的外形，不知道叶片内部藏着经长期自然选择形成的精巧结构。)”可知，文章围绕镜面草叶片里隐藏的巧妙结构展开，B项“A Hidden Smart Design in a Houseplant’s Leaves(室内植物叶片中一项暗藏的精巧设计)”最适合作为标题。 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。 Touching movies, stressful events at home or work, and even good news like a wedding or a baby might bring on the waterworks. ____36____ But you might not know that crying can have a big effect on your body and mind — here’s how. ● Crying relieves stress. Humans are the only species to weep from emotions, but scientists still don’t know exactly how the physical act of crying is connected to our feelings. ____37____ Maybe it helps relieve the physical tension of feeling upset. In other words, crying occurs as our body returns from an aroused “fight or flight” state to a calm “rest and digest” state. ● ____38____ You might think that crying would make you feel better if it means your stress is relieved — it does, sometimes. “In surveys about two-thirds of people generally report feeling better after crying,” says Jonathan Rottenberg, a professor at the University of South Florida. In many cases, however, the better mood after having cried is the consequence of receiving emotional support and comfort. ● Crying strengthens bonds. When we communicate with others through tears, we are revealing our own vulnerability (脆弱). “With supportive people, it can create an increased feeling of bonding and connection,” Dr. Orloff says. “You trust the person enough to cry around them.” ____39____ And this can promote an empathetic response and an emotional connection. ● Crying helps us get what we want. Tears can be a way to cause a specific reaction that works in our favor. ____40____ Even if we don’t mean to control others, our crying may have the result of easing anger and making others feel guilty or more willing to bend to our will. A. Crying boosts mood. B. Crying lets you release emotions in private. C. Sometimes, you just need to let the tears flow. D. Why do we cry when we’re sad (and sometimes happy)? E. Crying is, therefore, a signal that we feel close to someone. F. So, it may take a while before crying makes you feel better. G. Anyone who’s ever cried after getting pulled over for speeding knows that. 【答案】36. C 37. D 38. A 39. E 40. G 【解析】 【导语】主要说明了感人影片、悲喜大事都能让人落泪，哭泣可减压、改善情绪、拉近人际，还能促使他人让步，对身心有多方面影响。 【36题详解】 根据上文“Touching movies, stressful events at home or work, and even good news like a wedding or a baby might bring on the waterworks.(感人的电影、家庭或工作中的压力事件，甚至像婚礼或新生儿这样的好消息，都可能引发情绪波动)”以及后文“But you might not know that crying can have a big effect on your body and mind — here’s how.(但你可能不知道，哭泣会对你的身体和心理产生重大影响——具体是这样)”可知，第一段开头提到多种场景都会引发哭泣，空后转折指出人们大多不了解哭泣对身心的好处，C项“有时候你就是需要让眼泪流出来”符合上下文衔接。 【37题详解】 根据上文“Humans are the only species to weep from emotions, but scientists still don’t know exactly how the physical act of crying is connected to our feelings.(人类是唯一会因情绪而流泪的物种，但科学家至今仍不清楚哭泣这一物理行为与我们的情感之间究竟存在怎样的联系)”以及后文“Maybe it helps relieve the physical tension of feeling upset. In other words, crying occurs as our body returns from an aroused “fight or flight” state to a calm “rest and digest” state.(也许这有助于缓解因情绪低落而产生的身体紧张。换句话说，哭泣是身体从被唤醒的“战斗或逃跑”状态恢复到平静的“休息与消化”状态时的一种表现)”可知，第二段提到科学家尚不清楚哭泣和情绪的具体关联，空后给出“哭泣帮助缓解情绪紧张”的可能解释，D项“为什么我们悲伤时、有时开心也会哭？”引出问题衔接后文解释。 【38题详解】 根据后文“You might think that crying would make you feel better if it means your stress is relieved — it does, sometimes. “In surveys about two-thirds of people generally report feeling better after crying,” says Jonathan Rottenberg, a professor at the University of South Florida. In many cases, however, the better mood after having cried is the consequence of receiving emotional support and comfort.(你可能会认为，如果哭泣意味着压力得到了缓解，那么哭泣会让你感觉更好——有时确实如此。南佛罗里达大学教授乔纳森·罗滕伯格表示：“在调查中，三分之二的人普遍报告称，哭泣后心情变好了”然而，在许多情况下，哭泣后情绪好转其实是由于获得了情感支持和安慰的结果)”可知，第三段整段内容围绕“哭泣后大多人会感觉更好、改善心情”展开，A项“哭泣提升情绪”符合段落小标题要求。 【39题详解】 根据上文“When we communicate with others through tears, we are revealing our own vulnerability (脆弱). “With supportive people, it can create an increased feeling of bonding and connection,” Dr. Orloff says. “You trust the person enough to cry around them.”(当我们通过泪水与他人交流时，实际上是在展现自身的脆弱。“在有支持性的人身边，人们会感受到更强的联结和亲密感，”奥罗夫博士说，“你信任对方到足以在他们身边哭泣。”)”以及后文“And this can promote an empathetic response and an emotional connection.(这可以促进共情反应和情感联结)”可知，第四段提到“只有足够信任对方才会在对方面前哭泣”，空后指出这能促进情绪连接，E项“因此，哭泣是我们对对方心存亲近的信号”用therefore衔接前文逻辑，引出下文。 【40题详解】 根据上文“Tears can be a way to cause a specific reaction that works in our favor.(泪水可能是一种引发特定反应的方式，而这种反应对我们有利)”可知，第五段提到“眼泪是帮我们获得对自己有利反应的方式”，G项用“超速被交警拦截后哭泣的人都懂这个道理”举实例衔接观点。 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。 Last summer, immediately after my final exams, I volunteered at a remote primary school deep in the mountains of Guizhou. Like many of my classmates, I had ____41____ the experience as a chance to make my college application look ____42____ — six weeks of “meaningful” work. I had never expected, however, that the mountains would teach me far more than I could ever teach the children. The school was poorer than any photograph could have ____43____. The classroom had no running water, only a bare bulb that flickered whenever the wind ____44____, and the windows were so cracked that rain leaked in during storms. Half of my students walked two hours each morning along muddy paths just to ____45____ their seats. On my first weekend alone, I almost ____46____ — I missed my family, my bed, and the convenience of city life that I had never once ____47____ before. It was a ten-hour bus ride back to Guiyang, and I stood at the ticket window before I ____48____ turned away. What stopped me was Xiao Yu, a quiet ten-year-old girl with a gap-toothed smile. One evening, she ____49____ to my dorm with a notebook she had filled with English words, each one copied in neat, careful handwriting. “Teacher,” she said softly, “I want to be a doctor one day, so I can ____50____ the medical needs of people like my grandma, who lives two hours from the nearest clinic.” In that moment, something ____51____ inside me. I had come to the mountains to teach grammar; ____52____, I was being shown what a dream looks like when it is held by a child who has almost nothing. The following weeks were hard but ____53____. I stayed up late preparing lessons with a dying flashlight, and I learned to ____54____ the cold showers, the noisy dorm, and the constant mosquitoes. Slowly, the children began to open up, laugh, and trust me; some even started to share stories about their families and their dreams after class. By the final morning, when I packed my bag, several of them had gathered outside my door, holding small gifts — a handful of wild flowers, a drawn picture, a rough stone. I had come into those mountains as a ____55____ student; I left as someone who finally understood what it means to give. 41. A. appointed B. pictured C. employed D. praised 42. A. crucial B. objective C. feasible D. impressive 43. A. conveyed B. presented C. captured D. represented 44. A. picked up B. died away C. blew out D. settled down 45.

B 54. C 55. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述一名大学生赴贵州山区小学支教，从最初动摇到最终收获成长与感动的经历。 【41题详解】 考查动词。句意：和我的很多同学一样，我曾把这段经历想象成一个能让我的大学申请看起来更亮眼的机会——六周的“有意义”的工作。A. appointed任命，指定；B. pictured想象，构想；C. employed雇佣，使用；D. praised赞扬，夸赞。根据后文“the experience as a chance to make my college application look ____ — six weeks of “meaningful” work. I had never expected, however, that the mountains would teach me far more than I could ever teach the children.”可知，作者最初只是想让申请更有优势，并未真正深入体验支教可知，此处是他之前对这段经历的预设想象。 【42题详解】 考查形容词。句意同上。A. crucial关键的；B. objective客观的；C. feasible可行的；D. impressive令人印象深刻的，亮眼的。根据前文“the experience as a chance to make my college application”和后文“six weeks of “meaningful” work”并结合大学生申请大学时丰富履历、让材料更有竞争力的普遍动机可知，此处指让申请给招生方留下更好的印象。 【43题详解】 考查动词。句意：这所学校比任何照片所能捕捉到的样子都要贫困。A. conveyed传达，传递；B. presented呈现，展示；C. captured捕捉，记录；D. represented代表，象征。根据后文“The classroom had no running water, only a bare bulb that flickered whenever the wind picked up, and the windows were so cracked that rain leaked in during storms.”可知，实景的贫困程度远超照片能定格记录的画面，此处用capture精准描述照片对实景的拍摄记录作用。 【44题详解】 考查动词短语。句意：教室里没有自来水，只有一个光秃秃的灯泡，每当风增强时它就会闪烁。A. picked up捡起，（风）增强；B. died away逐渐消失；C. blew out吹灭；D. settled down定居，安定。根据前文“only a bare bulb that flickered”和后文“and the windows were so cracked that rain leaked in during storms”可知，漏风的窗户让风力变大，带动灯泡闪烁，此处指风力增强。 【45题详解】 考查动词。句意：我的学生中有一半人每天早上要沿着泥泞的小路走两个小时，只为坐到自己的座位上。A. reserve预留，保留；B. occupy占据，使用；C. take拿走，带走；D. book预订。根据前文“Half of my students walked two hours each morning along muddy paths just to”和后文“their seats”可知，长途跋涉的学生最终抵达教室、坐到自己的座位上，occupy seats是固定表达，意为“落座、占住座位”，强调孩子们克服困难努力来占到自己的座位，take one’s seat也可以表示表示“就座”，语义不如occupy seats贴切。 【46题详解】 考查动词。句意：在我独自待在那里的第一个周末，我几乎就要放弃了——我想念我的家人、我的床，以及我以前从未珍惜过的城市生活的便利。A. escaped逃跑；B. fled逃离；C. withdrew退出，撤回；D. quit放弃，半途而废。根据后文“I missed my family, my bed, and the convenience of city life that I had never once ____ before. It was a ten-hour bus ride back to Guiyang, and I stood at the ticket window”可知，作者因极度不适应艰苦环境，差点终止自己的支教计划。 【47题详解】 考查动词。句意同上。A. appreciated珍惜，感激；B. admitted承认；C. advocated倡导，拥护；D. abandoned抛弃，遗弃。根据前文“I missed my family, my bed, and the convenience of city life”和后文作者身处山区才感知到城市生活的珍贵可知，此前他一直身处便利环境，从未刻意留意和珍惜过这些日常条件。 【48题详解】 考查副词。句意：回到贵阳要坐十个小时的大巴，我站在售票窗口前，最终转身准备返程离开。A. accidentally意外地；B. desperately绝望地；C. eventually最终；D. deliberately故意地。根据前文作者站在售票窗口前经历了激烈的内心挣扎，后文“What stopped me was Xiao Yu, a quiet ten-year-old girl with a gap-toothed smile.”小女孩的出现让他彻底打消了返程的念头可知，此处描述他经过思想斗争后做出决定的最终结果。 【49题详解】 考查动词。句意：一天晚上，她拿着一个写满英语单词的笔记本走向我的宿舍。A. marched行进，齐步走；B. wandered漫步，闲逛；C. hurried匆忙赶路；D. headed朝……方向走去。根据后文“to my dorm with a notebook she had filled with English words, each one copied in neat, careful handwriting”可知，小女孩特意带着自己的笔记本，朝着作者的宿舍方向走去，head to是固定搭配，意为“前往、朝……行进”。 【50题详解】 考查动词。句意：我将来想成为一名医生，这样我就能满足像我奶奶这样的人的医疗需求，她家离最近的诊所还有两个小时的路程。A. recognize认出，识别；B. meet满足，遇见；C. identify确认，鉴定；D. ensure确保，保证。根据前文“I want to be a doctor one day, so I can”和后文“the medical needs of people like my grandma”可知，小女孩想成为医生来解决山区村民看病难的问题，meet the needs of sb.是固定搭配，意为“满足某人的需求”。 【51题详解】 考查动词。句意：在那一刻，我内心有什么东西被触动了。A. stirred搅动，触动；B. arose出现，升起；C. raised举起，抬高；D. lifted抬起，提升。根据前文“I want to be a doctor one day, so I can ____ the medical needs of people like my grandma, who lives two hours from the nearest clinic.”可知，小女孩质朴又坚定的梦想给原本动摇的作者带来强烈的内心冲击，他原本只为履历而来的心态被彻底改变，stirred inside me精准描述内心被触动、泛起波澜的状态。 【52题详解】 考查副词。句意：我来到山里本来是想教语法，相反，那个几乎一无所有的孩子向我展现了梦想的模样。A. therefore因此；B. otherwise否则；C. instead相反，取而代之的是；D. meanwhile与此同时。根据前文“I had come to the mountains to teach grammar”和后文“I was being shown what a dream looks like when it is held by a child who has almost nothing.”可知，作者最初的目的和他实际收获的精神成长完全相反，instead用于衔接前后内容的强烈反差。 【53题详解】 考查形容词。句意：接下来的几周很辛苦，但也很有收获。A. demanding要求高的；B. rewarding有回报的，有收获的；C. overwhelming压倒性的；D. appealing有吸引力的。根据前文“The following weeks were hard but”和后文“Slowly, the children began to open up, laugh, and trust me; some even started to share stories about their families and their dreams after class”可知，虽然支教的生活条件十分艰苦，但作者收获了孩子们的信任，也找到了支教的真正意义，这段经历充满了正向的精神回报。 【54题详解】 考查动词短语。句意：我熬夜用快没电的手电筒备课，也学会了忍受冷水澡、嘈杂的宿舍和没完没了的蚊子。A. come up with提出，想出；B. keep up with跟上，追上；C. put up with忍受，容忍；D. make up with和……和解。根据前文“I stayed up late preparing lessons with a dying flashlight”和后文“the cold showers, the noisy dorm, and the constant mosquitoes”可知，作者在后续的支教生活中慢慢适应、接纳了这些此前无法忍受的艰苦条件，put up with精准描述他对不便环境的包容和忍耐。 【55题详解】 考查形容词。句意：我初入大山时是一个带着好奇心的学生，离开时却终于理解了付出的真正意义。A. cautious谨慎的；B. particular挑剔的；C. potential有潜力的；D. curious好奇的。根据前文“Like many of my classmates, I had ____ the experience as a chance to make my college application look ____ — six weeks of “meaningful” work.”可知，作者最初只是把支教当作丰富大学申请履历的新奇体验，并未真正理解这段经历的重量可知，他初到山区时只是一个怀揣新鲜感和好奇心的普通学生。 第二节（共10小题；每小题1. 5分, 满分15分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 In the city of Jinan, capital of Shandong Province, a new trend is emerging. Young citizens seized by “green fever” are seeking out the simple ____56____ (satisfy) of growing their own tomatoes. Demand at Zhang’s Fields, ____57____ newly opened shared vegetable garden, is striking: 204 small areas of land, ____58____ (measure) about 30 square meters each, were quickly taken by enthusiastic renters within 10 days. For many of these new urban “farmers”, the experience feels like a realization of virtual games they once ____59____ (play). This shared vegetable garden is already taking shape. Each area of land ____60____ (equip) with stone slabs (厚板) and tea tables looks like a real-life version of QQ Farm which refers to the once-popular social media game ____61____ the players managed virtual crops. The business model ____62____ (tailor) for busy citizens with three options. A self-managed area costs 1,299 yuan a year, while semi-managed ____63____ fully managed options can range up to 1,599 and 1,899 yuan ____64____ (annual), with garden staff helping with weeding, watering and even harvesting. _____65_____ the convenience of full management, the majority of renters choose the self-managed option, attracted by the healing value of manual labor. 【答案】56. satisfaction 57. a 58. measuring 59. played 60. equipped 61. where 62. is tailored 63. and 64. annually 65. Despite 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍济南出现共享菜园的新潮流，市民租赁小块土地种菜，体验类似QQ农场的现实农耕乐趣。 【56题详解】 考查名词。句意：受到“绿色热潮”影响的年轻市民正在追寻亲手种植西红柿带来的简单满足感。seeking out后面需要接名词作宾语，satisfy是动词，其名词形式satisfaction意为“满足感”。 【57题详解】 考查冠词。句意：在新开业的共享菜园“张氏田园”，需求十分惊人：204块小块土地，每块大约30平方米，十天之内就被热情的租赁者抢租一空。shared vegetable garden为可数名词单数，空前无限定词，所以此处使用冠词，结合句意，此处表示“一家新开的共享菜园”，为泛指，且newly是以辅音音素开头的单词，所以用不定冠词a。 【58题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：在新开业的共享菜园“张氏田园”，需求十分惊人：204块小块土地，每块大约30平方米，十天之内就被热情的租赁者抢租一空。此处为非谓语动词作后置定语，measure表示“（尺寸、面积）为……”时，无被动形式，与逻辑主语land之间是主动关系，所以用现在分词measuring。 【59题详解】 考查动词时态。句意：对于这些新兴的城市“农夫”而言，这段体验如同实现了他们曾经玩过的虚拟游戏。此处为定语从句的谓语动词，根据时间状语once可知动作发生在过去，用一般过去时，所以谓语动词为played。 【60题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：每一块配有石板和茶桌的土地，看起来就像是现实版QQ农场，这是一款曾经热门的社交媒体游戏，玩家在游戏里打理虚拟作物。此处为非谓语动词作后置定语，equip与逻辑主语Each area of land之间是被动关系，所以用过去分词equipped。 【61题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：每一块配有石板和茶桌的土地，看起来就像是现实版QQ农场，这是一款曾经热门的社交媒体游戏，玩家在游戏里打理虚拟作物。此处引导定语从句，先行词game表示抽象地点，关系词在从句中作地点状语，所以用关系副词where。 【62题详解】 考查动词语态。句意：这套商业模式专为忙碌的市民定制，设有三种方案。此处为谓语动词，主语The business model和tailor之间为被动关系，陈述客观事实，用一般现在时的被动语态，主语是单数，所以谓语动词为is tailored。 【63题详解】 考查并列连词。句意：自管地块每年1299元，半托管和全托管方案价格最高可达1599元和1899元，菜园工作人员会帮忙除草、浇水甚至采摘。此处semi-managed与fully managed为并列关系，意为“半托管和全托管”，所以使用并列连词and。 【64题详解】 考查副词。句意：自管地块每年1299元，半托管和全托管方案价格最高可达1599元和1899元，菜园工作人员会帮忙除草、浇水甚至采摘。此处修饰前面的价格，要用副词形式，annual的副词annually意为“每年地”。 【65题详解】 考查介词。句意：尽管全托管模式十分便利，大多数租赁者仍然选择自管方案，被手工劳作带来的治愈价值所吸引。此处后接名词短语the convenience of full management，表示让步含义，介词despite意为“尽管”，位于句首，首字母需大写。 第四部分 写作（共两节, 满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 66. 假定你是李华，你的英国交换生好友 Tom 即将来中国学习半年。他查阅资料后发现肢体语言在不同文化中含义差别很大，十分担心在交流中产生误会，特意写信向你求助。请你给他写一封回信，内容包括： 1.安慰他并热烈欢迎他来华； 2.介绍几种在中国常见的肢体语言及其含义； 3.给出跨文化交际方面的实用建议。 注意： 1.词数不少于100； 2.可适当增加细节，使行文连贯； 3.开头、结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Tom, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours sincerely, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Tom, Learning that you feel anxious about possible misunderstandings caused by body language during your stay in China, I’m writing to comfort you and offer some practical suggestions. It is totally normal for newcomers to worry about such cultural barriers, since gestures and non-verbal signals vary greatly across cultures. There is no need to be too nervous. Generally speaking, we Chinese nod our heads gently to show agreement or approval, and a sincere handshake is the typical way to greet people we meet for the first time. However, staring straight at others for a long time is considered impolite, and patting adults on the head is not proper, though it is acceptable for little kids. When you are confused about certain gestures, never hesitate to ask politely. By the way, after you settle down, I plan to take you to a breathtaking national park nearby, where we can enjoy amazing natural scenery and talk more about cultural differences. I’m convinced that as long as we treat cultural diversity rationally, body language will never become a barrier to communication. Yours sincerely Li Hua 【解析】 【导语】要求考生回信安慰Tom并介绍中国肢体语言，给出交际建议。 【详解】1.词汇积累 困惑的：confused→puzzled 障碍：barrier→obstacle 真诚的：sincere→genuine 合理地：rationally→reasonably 2.句式拓展 同义句 原句：Learning that you feel anxious about possible misunderstandings caused by body language during your stay in China, I’m writing to comfort you and offer some practical suggestions. 拓展句：I learn that you feel anxious about possible misunderstandings caused by body language during your stay in China, so I’m writing to comfort you and offer some practical suggestions. 【点睛】【高分句型 1】By the way, after you settle down, I plan to take you to a breathtaking national park nearby, where we can enjoy amazing natural scenery and talk more about cultural differences.(运用了after引导的时间状语从句和where引导的非限制性定语从句） 【高分句型 2】However, staring straight at others for a long time is considered impolite, and patting adults on the head is not proper, though it is acceptable for little kids.(运用了though引导的让步从句) 第二节 读后续写（满分25分） 67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Mrs. Thompson often reminded her daughter, Amy, that helping with housework was not only a responsibility, but also a way of showing care for the family. But to Amy, household chores were a tiresome burden and a waste of her precious time. Every time her mother asked her to wash the dishes after dinner, Amy would protest, “It’s unfair! Why should I have to do the dishes?” Usually, Mrs. Thompson would sigh and do it herself. One Monday evening, as Amy got up from the table, Mrs. Thompson began coughing violently and her face grew very pale. “I’m not feeling well,” she said and went to her bedroom without even mentioning the dishes. Amy was about to leave the dirty plates in the sink as usual, but something stopped her. She remembered her mother’s tired eyes and weak voice, and it struck her how tired her mother had looked lately — doing a demanding job and taking care of the household all by herself. Quietly, Amy walked her mother to her room, and then returned to the kitchen. She stared at the mountain of dishes, took a deep breath, and rolled up her sleeves. Just as she was drying the last plate, she heard a gentle voice from behind. “Amy?” Mrs. Thompson, who was standing in the doorway, her eyes wide with surprise and warmth, said very gently. Amy turned around and, feeling a little embarrassed, she mumbled, “Well... Since you’re not feeling well, I thought I’d help out tonight.” “Thank you, sweetheart,” Mrs. Thompson said very gently. “That means a lot to me.” That night, as Amy lay in bed, she couldn’t stop thinking about the gentleness in her mother’s voice. “Maybe, Mom was right,” Amy thought. “Doing housework isn’t just a chore. It is a way to show love.” 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。 Before sleeping, Amy set the clock 40 minutes earlier. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As time went on, Amy’s attitude to household work began to change. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version： Before sleeping, Amy set the clock 40 minutes earlier. The next morning, Amy sprang out of bed as soon as the alarm rang and tiptoed into the kitchen. She boiled eggs and made toasts. She even squeezed fresh orange juice on the bread. When her mother came to the kitchen, Amy said cheerfully, “Surprise, Mom! I find I am very good at preparing breakfast! Now, you could rest a bit more until you’re fully recovered.” As time went on, Amy’s attitude to household work began to change. She no longer saw it as a duty but a way to contribute to the family. She took on more tasks — sweeping the floors, tidying the living room, and even joining her mother in the garden on weekends. Mrs. Thompson was overjoyed by the change. What’s more, Amy discovered that working side by side with her mother had become their special time to talk and bond — and their relationship grew closer than ever. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了艾米原本认为做家务是负担，但母亲生病后她主动洗碗，意识到做家务是表达爱的方式的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“睡觉前，艾米把闹钟调早了40分钟。”可知，第一段可描写艾米早起后主动为母亲做早餐，以及母亲的反应。 ②由第二段首句内容“随着时间的推移，艾米对家务的态度开始改变。”可知，第二段可描写艾米对家务态度的具体转变，以及她从中获得的成长和感悟。 2.续写线索： 艾米早起——准备早餐——母亲惊喜——艾米态度转变——主动承担家务——感悟成长 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①踮起脚尖走进厨房：tiptoe into the kitchen/walk into the kitchen on tiptoe ②打扫地板：sweep the floors/clean the floors ③承担任务：take on tasks/undertake tasks/accept tasks 情绪类 ①高兴地：cheerfully/happily/joyfully ②高兴的：overjoyed/delighted/pleased 【点睛】【高分句型1】When her mother came to the kitchen, Amy said cheerfully, “Surprise, Mom!

Student discounts apply only on weekdays. To avoid harming the fragile rock environment and local wildlife, visitors are strictly forbidden from stepping off marked paths. Groups with over 12 members must submit a booking form two days ahead. Camping anywhere in the valley is banned to preserve its natural ecosystem. Sunset Cliff This open cliff offers wide, amazing views of the distant lake and rolling hills. Student tickets are available all year except major public holidays. All visitors must stay inside safety fences, for unmarked cliff edges are extremely slippery after rain. Small parties do not need advance reservation. Overnight camping is forbidden here to prevent wildfire risks on the dry hillside. Ancient Tea Hamlet This old mountain village has kept traditional tea-making skills alive for centuries. Students with valid ID can enjoy reduced prices every day. Free walking maps are provided at the village gate. Reservations are required only for guided group tours. Visitors can put up tents in a special camping zone far away from old wooden buildings to reduce fire danger. Lotus Wetland Park It is most attractive in summer when lotus flowers are in full bloom. Student discounts are not available on weekends or holidays. Visitors can walk along wooden boardwalks through reed beds and observe water birds. All groups, whatever their size, must book entry ahead of time. Camping is not permitted anywhere within the wetland protection area. 21. What preparation should a student group of 15 make before visiting Mist Valley Waterfall on Sunday? A. Book a professional guide. B. Pay the full price for admission. C. Find a proper camping area. D. Get free maps at the entrance. 22. What can we infer about Ancient Tea Hamlet? A. It values the protection of its ancient buildings. B. Free maps are designed mainly for student groups. C. Visitors must join guided tours to enter. D. Student discounts are limited to weekdays. 23. What do Sunset Cliff and Lotus Wetland Park have in common? A. Student discounts are unavailable on holidays. B. Visitors must stay within safety fences all the time. C. Any group needs to make reservations in advance. D. Camping activities are not allowed on the sites. B Last week, I emerged from the Tube in central London for a day that would once have been unthinkable. First, I bought a morning coffee. Then I went out for a box of sushi. A few hours later, I dropped into a mini-supermarket to buy some tea bags. Each time, I had zero contact with a human. Instead, I ordered and paid for everything using one of the touchscreens that now pepper our life. Looking back, I find it hard to remember the last time I bought anything entirely from a person. The business logic is obvious: screens reduce staff costs, shorten waiting lines, and encourage more purchases through appealing food photos and non-judgmental ordering. I believe that customers often prefer the ease and speed of touchscreens and that not all human interactions are enjoyable. Yet, I still prefer a world with more time-consuming people than machines. It’s not just because machines often fail, but because finding a human can be exciting. That’s why I was surprised during a recent trip to Brazil, where I found so many staff in a local supermarket — at checkouts, in aisles, upstairs — that I took photos to show people back home. Two men even helped me decide which umbrella suited me best. That novel experience heartened me so much that I wasn’t surprised to learn some European retailers (零售商) are boosting such human interaction. The Dutch chain Jumbo introduced a slower “chat checkout” for customers to talk with cashiers and expanded it to about 200 stores, especially in places where loneliness was a big problem. Earlier this year, an expert noted software engineers felt lonely when they turned to AI instead of their co-workers. I find this easy to imagine. Technology can lead us down many paths, but that does not mean all should be taken. 24. What is a feature of the author’s shopping habit in London? A. Interacting with store staff. B. Placing orders on the phone. C. Using self-service machines. D. Avoiding mini-supermarkets. 25. Which word best describes the author’s shopping experience in Brazil? A. Pleasing. B. Annoying. C. Disappointing. D. Amusing. 26. Why did Jumbo introduce “chat checkout”? A. To expand its business. B. To simplify the checkout process. C. To help its employees fight loneliness. D. To encourage interpersonal communication. 27. What message does the author deliver in the text? A. The best is yet to come. B. Convenience comes at a cost. C. All roads lead to Rome. D. Every cloud has a silver lining. C In an age where short videos and quick online comments flood our daily life, many of us have formed a habit of jumping to conclusions the moment we receive new information. This habit of fast thinking, which feels efficient and satisfying, has gradually weakened our ability to practise slow thinking — a deliberate process of weighing evidence, recognizing hidden assumptions and examining our own biases before reaching a final judgment. Though slow thinking is often mistaken for being slow-witted or hesitant, it is actually a skill that demands great mental effort. When we are trapped in fast thinking mode, we tend to rely on first impressions and popular opinions, which can easily lead us to make shallow or even wrong decisions. Slow thinking, by contrast, encourages us to pause, dig deeper into complex problems and separate reliable facts from persuasive but misleading remarks. It does not mean putting off decisions endlessly; instead, it means refusing to let automatic reactions take control of our judgment. Some people argue that slow thinking is a luxury that few students can afford, given the tight schedules and frequent exams they face. This argument overlooks an important truth: training ourselves to think slowly does not require hours of free time. It can be practised in small moments, such as when we read a news story, discuss a controversial topic or work out a difficult problem. Each time we force ourselves to question “Is this solid enough?” rather than accepting an idea instantly, we are strengthening this valuable thinking muscle. The greatest barrier to slow thinking is not lack of time, but our discomfort with uncertainty. Our brains are naturally eager to settle on a clear answer as quickly as possible, even if the available information is incomplete. If we can tolerate this temporary state of uncertainty and resist the urge for instant answers, we will grow into more careful, rational thinkers who are less likely to be misled by online rumors and one-sided views. 28. The underlined word “biases” in Paragraph 1 most probably means ______. A. solid evidence B. unfair prejudices C. hidden dangers D. instant reactions 29. What can we infer from Paragraph 2? A. Slow thinking equals being slow in response. B. Fast thinking always helps us make quick correct decisions. C. Slow thinking helps us tell true facts from misleading information. D. People with slow thinking habits usually delay decisions on purpose. 30. Why is slow thinking hard for most people? A. Their brains hate staying in an uncertain state. B. They have too many exams to finish on time. C. They believe fast thinking is more reliable. D. They are not able to understand complex problems. 31. What is the author’s main purpose of the text? A. To compare the advantages and disadvantages of fast thinking. B. To warn students of the pressure brought by tight study schedules. C. To explain the value of slow thinking and encourage readers to develop it. D. To introduce the research on how our brain deals with online information. D The Chinese money plant, Pilea peperomioides, is a popular houseplant famous for round, bright green leaves that bring gentle warmth to indoor spaces. Plant lovers often place it on desks or windowsills, admiring its neat coin-shaped foliage and keeping it as a decorative companion for years. For a long time, people only appreciated its pleasing beauty, unaware that a precise structure shaped by long-term natural selection hides inside its leaves. Recent biophysical research has uncovered this clever design, which helps the plant keep normal life activities going during long periods of hot, dry weather, when many similar shade plants struggle to stay alive. Elijah Blum first caught sight of this feature while caring for his sister’s plant, which stayed alive through several dry spells with little regular watering. Working part-time in a plant physiology lab then, he had learned to spot tiny structural differences most ordinary observers would easily ignore. What amazed him was that its leaf veins grew in a well-organized pattern, totally different from the random branching veins of most broad-leaf plants. Later lab tests proved this special vein system transports water and nutrients steadily to support steady leaf growth. To figure out how this special structure works, the research team tracked leaf development over months and carried out repeated evaporation tests. Unlike many plants with disordered vein networks, its veins are arranged around tiny leaf pores called stomata — the openings from which water escapes into the air. Instead of stretching toward these pores, veins keep a safe distance, forming a balanced network across the whole leaf. This simple arrangement brings clear survival benefits. Since water-carrying veins stay away from stomata, the plant avoids rapid water loss on hot dry days. It can store enough water in leaf tissues to maintain necessary biological functions even if soil moisture drops sharply. Scientists see this evolved structure as a valuable natural model. Plants’ smart ways of moving water and energy have inspired engineers to improve water-saving irrigation systems and develop passive cooling materials for green buildings. Nature, after millions of years of natural selection, offers low-energy solutions that human designers are still exploring and learning from. 32. What can we infer about the Chinese money plant from the first two paragraphs? A. Its attractive appearance makes it survive dry hot conditions easily. B. Most plant lovers have known its special leaf structure for a long time. C. Blum found its unique vein pattern when doing formal lab experiments. D. It has a hidden evolved structure that helps it survive dry conditions. 33. What is the author’s purpose in writing Paragraph 3? A. To explain the way researchers explored the function of the structure. B. To show how stomata control the growth rate of this houseplant. C. To compare the pore sizes of different kinds of household plants. D. To recommend new shade plants suitable for dry living environments. 34. What message can we get from the description of the structure’s survival advantage? A. Most broad-leaf plants possess neatly arranged vein networks. B. The special layout of veins slows the rate of water loss in hot conditions. C. Engineers have widely adopted this structure to produce building materials. D. Stomata serve as the main storage area to hold water inside plant leaves. 35. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Natural Structures Fueling Breakthroughs in Modern Engineering B. A Hidden Smart Design in a Houseplant’s Leaves C. How Stomata Control Water Loss in Broad-leaf Plants D. Survival Skills for Houseplants in Hot Dry Environments 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。 Touching movies, stressful events at home or work, and even good news like a wedding or a baby might bring on the waterworks. ____36____ But you might not know that crying can have a big effect on your body and mind — here’s how. ● Crying relieves stress. Humans are the only species to weep from emotions, but scientists still don’t know exactly how the physical act of crying is connected to our feelings. ____37____ Maybe it helps relieve the physical tension of feeling upset. In other words, crying occurs as our body returns from an aroused “fight or flight” state to a calm “rest and digest” state. ● ____38____ You might think that crying would make you feel better if it means your stress is relieved — it does, sometimes. “In surveys about two-thirds of people generally report feeling better after crying,” says Jonathan Rottenberg, a professor at the University of South Florida. In many cases, however, the better mood after having cried is the consequence of receiving emotional support and comfort. ● Crying strengthens bonds. When we communicate with others through tears, we are revealing our own vulnerability (脆弱). “With supportive people, it can create an increased feeling of bonding and connection,” Dr. Orloff says. “You trust the person enough to cry around them.” ____39____ And this can promote an empathetic response and an emotional connection. ● Crying helps us get what we want. Tears can be a way to cause a specific reaction that works in our favor. ____40____ Even if we don’t mean to control others, our crying may have the result of easing anger and making others feel guilty or more willing to bend to our will. A. Crying boosts mood. B. Crying lets you release emotions in private. C. Sometimes, you just need to let the tears flow. D. Why do we cry when we’re sad (and sometimes happy)? E. Crying is, therefore, a signal that we feel close to someone. F. So, it may take a while before crying makes you feel better. G. Anyone who’s ever cried after getting pulled over for speeding knows that. 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。 Last summer, immediately after my final exams, I volunteered at a remote primary school deep in the mountains of Guizhou.

It was a ten-hour bus ride back to Guiyang, and I stood at the ticket window before I ____48____ turned away. What stopped me was Xiao Yu, a quiet ten-year-old girl with a gap-toothed smile. One evening, she ____49____ to my dorm with a notebook she had filled with English words, each one copied in neat, careful handwriting. “Teacher,” she said softly, “I want to be a doctor one day, so I can ____50____ the medical needs of people like my grandma, who lives two hours from the nearest clinic.” In that moment, something ____51____ inside me. I had come to the mountains to teach grammar; ____52____, I was being shown what a dream looks like when it is held by a child who has almost nothing. The following weeks were hard but ____53____. I stayed up late preparing lessons with a dying flashlight, and I learned to ____54____ the cold showers, the noisy dorm, and the constant mosquitoes. Slowly, the children began to open up, laugh, and trust me; some even started to share stories about their families and their dreams after class. By the final morning, when I packed my bag, several of them had gathered outside my door, holding small gifts — a handful of wild flowers, a drawn picture, a rough stone. I had come into those mountains as a ____55____ student; I left as someone who finally understood what it means to give. 41. A. appointed B. pictured C. employed D. praised 42. A. crucial B. objective C. feasible D. impressive 43. A. conveyed B. presented C. captured D. represented 44. A. picked up B. died away C. blew out D. settled down 45.

But to Amy, household chores were a tiresome burden and a waste of her precious time. Every time her mother asked her to wash the dishes after dinner, Amy would protest, “It’s unfair! Why should I have to do the dishes?” Usually, Mrs. Thompson would sigh and do it herself. One Monday evening, as Amy got up from the table, Mrs. Thompson began coughing violently and her face grew very pale. “I’m not feeling well,” she said and went to her bedroom without even mentioning the dishes. Amy was about to leave the dirty plates in the sink as usual, but something stopped her. She remembered her mother’s tired eyes and weak voice, and it struck her how tired her mother had looked lately — doing a demanding job and taking care of the household all by herself. Quietly, Amy walked her mother to her room, and then returned to the kitchen. She stared at the mountain of dishes, took a deep breath, and rolled up her sleeves. Just as she was drying the last plate, she heard a gentle voice from behind. “Amy?” Mrs. Thompson, who was standing in the doorway, her eyes wide with surprise and warmth, said very gently. Amy turned around and, feeling a little embarrassed, she mumbled, “Well... Since you’re not feeling well, I thought I’d help out tonight.” “Thank you, sweetheart,” Mrs. Thompson said very gently. “That means a lot to me.” That night, as Amy lay in bed, she couldn’t stop thinking about the gentleness in her mother’s voice. “Maybe, Mom was right,” Amy thought. “Doing housework isn’t just a chore. It is a way to show love.” 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。 Before sleeping, Amy set the clock 40 minutes earlier. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As time went on, Amy’s attitude to household work began to change. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
