A篇
主要介绍了三种不含糖或者含糖量低的果干杏子干、无花果干和西梅干。
第21题 D。 根据文章内容，apricots提供95卡路里，figs提供105卡路里，因此105+95=200，故选择D选项。
第22题 B。 根据题目定位最后一段，“prunes may help build up bones，...”由此可以得出西梅干可以提高骨质，故选择B选项。
第23题 A。 根据文章第一段“The key to getting the most out of it are to keep portions small and avoid those with added augers.（充分利用它的关键是保持份量小，避免添加糖）”，由此看出选择果干要少量并避免额外添加糖的种类。故选择A选项。
B篇
B篇 主要介绍了作者在放学途中观看麻雀并引发的一系列人与自然的关系的思考。
第24题 D。 结合第一段“Each day I stop to hear music coming from the ivy Sparrow song，a loud glorious sound.（每天我都会停下来听长春藤麻雀的歌声，那是一种响亮而辉煌的声音）”可以看出作者每天停下来听麻雀唱歌，故选择D选项。
第25题 C。 定位到原文的“ubiquitous”，从前句“The ivy is pulsing below a leafless tree，decorating around the lower trunk like a celebration. Nervous flittings，in and out，pecking at the branches. This ivy is a home for them，harboring an entire flock.”可以看出麻雀在常春藤树里忙碌的生态，这是它们的家。从后句“Numbers have declined by almost 70% in the UK since...”可以看出麻雀数量锐减，因此可以推测出之前麻雀在常春藤中进进出出、自由飞翔是十分常见的画面，而随着麻雀靠近人类栖息地数量锐减后，这一场景不再常见。故选择C选项。
第26题 B。 结合第二段内容“In Greek mythology，sparrows are sacred and often associated with the godness Aphrodite，symbolizing true and spiritual connection.（在希腊神话中，麻雀是神圣的，经常与女神阿佛洛狄忒联系在一起，象征着真爱和精神联系。）”可以看出在希腊神话中，麻雀是神圣的，代表着真爱和精神联系。故选择B选项。
第27题 C。 结合第四段中提及的“Nature sparks creativity. All we have to do is to start with the question，why？（大自然激发创造力。我们所要做的就是从一个问题开始，为什么？）”可以看出自然可以催生创造力。再结合第四段提及的数学家与科学家可以看出，自然是灵感的源泉，故选择C选项。
C篇
C篇主要讲述了《蒙娜丽莎》，它和其他艺术、文学、音乐经典并非永恒不变，其地位受时代、批评家和公众品味的影响，文化的发展依赖于对经典不断的讨论和争议。
第28题 A。文章提到“直到1911年一名工人偷走了这幅杰作，它仍然鲜为人知”，说明是盗窃事件使得《蒙娜丽莎》变得出名。B. The semi-smile（神秘的微笑）是这幅画的一个特征，但并非其名声大噪的原因。C. The report（报道）和D. The painter（画家）虽然与画作相关，但文章中并未提及它们是画作变得出名的原因。
第29题 C。 根据文章中Rochelle Gurstein的观点，她认为“经典之作并非永恒不变，而是会随时间改变的”，因此C选项“可变的”是正确的。A. Enduring（持久的）和B. Fading（逐渐消失的）都与文章中的观点相反。D. Admirable（令人钦佩的）虽然经典之作可能值得钦佩，但文章中讨论的是它们的状态，而非价值。
第30题 B。 第四段通过提供米开朗基罗的《大卫》和《维纳斯·德·米洛》等艺术作品的例子来发展论点，说明经典之作并非总是被固定不变地认为是经典。A. By making a comparison（通过比较）不是主要的论述方式。C. By giving an explanation（通过解释）和D. By giving a description（通过描述）虽然段落中有所涉及，但主要方式是举例。
第31题 D。 文章最后一段提到“只要人们继续争论什么算是经典，文化就会继续存在”，暗示缺乏批评和讨论是经典作品发展的最大敌人。A. The ignorance of culture（对文化的无知）、B. The course of time（时间的流逝）和C. The evolution of tastes（品味的演变）虽然对经典作品有影响，但文章强调的是批评的重要性。
D篇
D篇主要讲述了脑震荡的认识和治疗随时间演变，现代推荐“积极休息”恢复法，逐渐增加活动量以促进恢复，正确的管理和指导对预防长期症状至关重要。
第32题 A。 第一段主要描述了脑震荡的工作原理，即大脑在颅骨内如何因冲击而加速、减速或旋转，造成一系列冲击（In a concussion (脑震荡).the brain bounces around in the skull, accelerating, decelerating or revolving.）。B. The causes of concussion（脑震荡的原因）、C. The symptoms of concussion（脑震荡的症状）和D. The effects of concussion（脑震荡的影响）虽然在文中有所提及，但第一段的核心是描述脑震荡的工作机制。
第33题 C。 文章中提到，when you stop doing activity altogether, that actually affects your recovery process。长时间在暗室中的人更有可能经历焦虑、抑郁和睡眠问题，并且由于缺乏使用，他们的身体也会变弱。A. The dark environment（黑暗的环境）、B. Their physical pain（他们的身体疼痛）和D. Their mental disorder（他们的精神障碍）虽然可能是暗室治疗中的问题，但文章明确指出是由于“不足的活动”导致的身体虚弱。
第34题A。文章中提到了“active-rest approach to concussion recovery”（积极的休息方法治疗脑震荡），建议从轻微的日常活动开始，逐渐增加活动量，直至完全恢复正常、不受限制的活动。这与A选项“首先制定一个循序渐进的健身计划”相符，强调了逐步增加活动的重要性。
第35题 B。文章讨论了从过去对脑震荡的“暗室治疗”到现在更积极的恢复方法的转变。B选项“从黑暗到光明：脑震荡恢复”恰当地概括了这一转变。其中A选项貌似更多是介绍脑震荡这个病，没有B选项中的恢复，C、D虽然与脑震荡有关，但没有B选项那么准确地反映文章的主要内容。
七选五
本篇主要讲了智能家电能提高能源效率、简化家务、增强家居安全，并帮助环保。从智能照明到清洁机器人，逐步引入智能灯、插座、Wi-Fi等，不仅提升生活质量，还促进环保。
第36题 B。 这里采取的是欲抑先扬的写作手法，现讲冬天吹暖气很爽，非常过瘾，但是画风一转，冬天的空调和暖气带来的电费真是无比震惊，然后B选项也和后面的inefficient appliances形成一个衔接和呼应，因为家用电器的低效，所以才导致电费的高昂。
第37题 F。 根据后面那个smart lighting systems. smart door 等，我们知道此处也需要引出高级节能的家用电器，同时，也能够和上一段低效的家用电器形成对比，F选项满足此需求，同时F选项也是一个总起句，后面的smart lighting systems, smart door locks 都是分论点，这里可以形成一个很好的总分结构 。
第38题 D。 根据后面的playing a romantic comedy movie on that smart TV ,可知第38空需要有一个smart TV 才可以和the smart TV 形成呼应。只有D满足此要求。
第39题 G。 根据后面的small lights, switches, plugs, smart hubs 都是小物件，即smaller items, 而且前面那句话是approach this gradually ,所以我们转向环保设备是一步一步，并不是一蹴而就的，一步一步来，就是从小的设备开始，而且是逐步开始，选G。
第40题 C。 more than just 表示不仅仅是，同时也是，后面需要一个肯定句 ，整句话的意思是“从传统低效的家电切换到智能家电不仅仅是现代便捷性的体现，更是一个迈向可持续未来的重大步骤。” 大家要注意，保证主语一致，这个it's a significant step 中的it 代指的是switching from traditional from inefficient home appliances to smart ones这件事。
完形填空
本篇讲述了作者与母亲驱车前往宾夕法尼亚州观赏日全食，尽管天气多变，最终在日全食时分云开雾散，展现了壮丽的天文奇观，实现了母亲的心愿。
第41题B. 六年作为太空记者的经历教会了我，混乱统治着一切。没有什么是完全可预测或可控的。我见证了足够多的错误，知道没有任何天象是可以向我们地球上的观测者保证的。observer和前面的watch形成呼应。
第42题B. 从后文的我的信念是我们会成为victims of the randomness 而我母亲的信念是 order would win. 所以我们的信念体系是完全相反的，有冲突的，选B。
第43题C. 因为我觉得天象是无法预测的，我们会成为受害者，所以我是比较悲观的。选C。
第44题A. 我妈妈和我的态度完全想法，她不相信混乱，她相信秩序会赢。
第45题B. 我告诉她不要依赖宇宙会给我们看日食，她告诉我她不会依赖其他任何事物，count on 和后面的depend on 呼应。
第46题 C. 我再次被教诲（lesson) 所屈服，这个教训我一次又一次地学到：母亲总是对的。
第47题 D. 根据后面的but 其后的内容可知，日食真的发生了，but后面是好的，那么but前面是不好的，所以Erie这个城市的预测是不好的，贬义的，选D。
第48题A. 通过日食观测镜，我能看到黄白色的太阳迅速地升起、集中，变成炽烈的橙色光芒。因为是concentrating所以会变得很炽烈，选A。
第49题D. 发生 用struck 相当于happen. 和 occur.
第50题C. 像太阳下山一样的色彩，用the sunset-like colors.只有色彩才能闪耀。
第51题A. in 后面加颜色，即in slightly bright red and pink. 整句话的翻译是：远处的景象如同日落一般闪耀并绽放。我可以看到太阳两侧突出的太阳珥，呈现出稍微明亮的红色和粉色。
第52题C. bear witness to 是一个固定搭配，表示见证。见证了一个近乎是奇迹的东西。
第53题D. 4分钟以后，日食结束了。
第54题B. 根据第三段的the clouds over the city's bay began to clear, 这里又出现云层，所以前面云层是散尽，现在云层又回来了，回来是returned ,这里需要形成一个前后对比。
第55题A. make good on a promise. 表示兑现承诺。类似于live up to 或者meet one's promise 或者deliver on a promise.
语法填空
本篇主要讲了苏绣起源于苏州，其工艺特色受当地经济文化及贵族女性审美影响，在宋朝达黄金时期，清朝受皇室喜爱并得名，1954 年苏州丝绸刺绣研究所成立，苏绣传承人邹英姿能灵活运用针法创作。
56. an 考察冠词。根据句意，苏州只是中国好几个经济文化中心之一，所以非特指用不定冠词，元音发音之前用an。
57. for 考察介词和固定搭配。had a taste for的意思是“爱好，有兴趣”。
58. Featuring 考察非谓语动词。feature这个词经常考察，要高度重视。该句做非谓语动词，主动含义用ing形式。
59. has reflected/has been reflecting 考察时态语态。因为后面有since，所以需要用现在完成时。
60. that/which 考察定语从句。该句是一个定语从句，修饰冠检测city，后面的从句缺少主语，所以which或者that都可以。
61. its 考察代词。此处用形容性物主代词，修饰age，所以是its。
62. royalty/royals 考察词性转换。本题较难，本句意思是“这个工艺在清朝的宫廷很受皇室或者皇家贵族的喜爱。 ”皇室用royalty, 皇家贵族用royals。
63.was coined 考察动词的时态语态。本句suxiu是主语，was coined 是谓语，coin. 表示被发明，被创造，这是一个熟词生意。
64. to follow 考察非谓语动词。make it + possible + to do sth意思是“使做某事成为可能”。
65. flexibly 考察词性转换。修饰后面的动词apply用副词形式，所以是flexibly，意思是“灵活地；有弹性地；柔软地；易曲地”。

W: I’m not sure. What would you recommend based on my face shape
M: You have a very round face, so you should definitely avoid round glasses. You would look good in square ones. On the other hand, heart-shaped glasses don’t really match any face shape, but always look modern.

M: It’s a holiday for fans and enthusiasts of William Shakespeare.
W: When is the holiday
M: It falls on April 23 each year.
W: How do people celebrate the day
M: Well, there are many different kinds of celebrations. People can watch a Shakespeare-inspired movie, pick a speech or passage to memorize, or meet with other Shakespeare fans and share their favorite Shakespeare moments with each other. W: Do you celebrate this holiday every year
M: Yes. But it’s a pity that I haven’t got a chance to go back and celebrate it ever since I came to China two years ago.

Today’s show begins in South America, where a deadly natural disaster has hit the nation of Colombia. It started in rain, heavy rain on Friday night. That caused three rivers to overflow around the city of Mocoa, which is located in the southwestern part of Colombia.
The flooding washed a stream of mud into Mocoa. Many people were sleeping when the disaster came. People said it was moving so fast that they had to run for their lives.
Colombia officials say more than 200 people were killed, hundreds more injured and more than 100 people still missing. But Colombia’s president expects those numbers to increase as rescuers search for survivors. More than 1,000 soldiers and police officers were involved in that effort.
They say that 80 percent of the roads around the area have problems. So it’s hard to get to people who might be trapped. Rescuers are racing against the clock to save lives.平江县2025届高三入学考试

Let's get the bad news out of the way fruit: Dried first is a concentrated source of calories and sugars. The keys to getting the most out of it are to keep portions (份额) small and avoid those with added sugars. And choose the fruits that offer the biggest benefits, like the three here.
1. Apricots
PORTION SIZE 5 apricots CALORIES 95
These orange orbs(圆形物) supply vitamin E, which helps to protect cells against the kind of damage that can trigger cancer and other chronic diseases. You also get 3 grams of fiber and 10 percent of the Daily Value.
2. Figs
PORTION SIZE 5 figs CALORIES 105
Figs have more fiber than many other dried fruits, and they supply a decent amount of calcium. They may sometimes look like they're sprinkled with sugar, but they're not. The natural fruit sugar in the figs can crystallize and leave a white coating.
3. Prunes
PORTION SIZE 4 prunes CALORIES 92
Research suggests the mix of antioxidants and other nutrients in prunes may help build up bones, helping to prevent osteoporosis. One serving of prunes has about 20 percent of the Daily Value for vitamin K. The low intakes have been linked to painful blood vessel(血管) problems.
21. How many calories will you get if you have a portion of apricots and figs
A. 116. B.118. C.124. D.200.
22. What is a benefit of prunes
A. Relieve pain. B. Improve bone strength.
C. Prevent cancer. D. Promote calcium absorption.
23. What advice is offered on dried fruit
A. Take small servings. B. Add some sugar.
C. Mix with other nutrients. D. Stay away from it.

Walking home from school, I am enjoying my day. Each day I stop to hear music coming from the ivy(常春藤) sparrow(麻雀) song, a loud glorious sound. The ivy is pulsing below a leafless tree, decorating around the lower trunk like a celebration. Nervous flittings, in and out, pecking at the branches. This ivy is a home for them, harboring an entire flock. But this scene is no longer ubiquitous. Numbers have declined by almost 70% in the UK since 1970. Sparrows make their homes near human places and finding a tree like this is a blessing. Happily, the ivy is still full of chatter and twitter.
In Greek mythology, sparrows are sacred and often associated with the goddess Aphrodite, symbolizing true love and spiritual connection. I wonder how many people look at sparrows and feel that depth of connection. All birds live brightly in our imagination, connecting us to the natural world, opening up all kinds of creativity.
As I stand there, fluffed-up sparrows in conversation among themselves, there is a spark. Noticing nature is the start of it all. Slow down to listen, to watch. Take the time, despite mountains of homework.
Take the time to observe nature, to immerse oneself in its patterns, structures, happenings and rhythms. It is how mathematicians and scientists are nurtured. Alan Turing studied the patterns in nature: the arrangement of petals on the flower, spots on a leopard and stripes on a zebra. He was looking for a mathematical formula (公式) for the development of cells in living things. Nature sparks creativity. All we have to do is start with the question, Why The way my mind whirrs and whirls in nature, or even when “daydreaming” is way more productive than the work I do in school.
I consolidate myself by thinking and thinking while intensely watching the movements of sparrows. Who knows where watching sparrows will lead
24.What do I do on the way home from school
A. Listen to pop music. B. Decorate the tree. C. Clean up the trunk. D. Observe the sparrows
25. What does the underlined word “ubiquitous” in paragraph l probably mean
A. Unusual. B. Delightful. C. Common. D. Horrible.
26. What is the author's purpose in mentioning Greek mythology
A. To show the imagination of humans. B. To stress the significance of sparrows.
C. To introduce the power of Aphrodite. D. To demonstrate the diversity of species.
27. What can we learn from paragraph 4 of the text
A. Nature facilitates cell development. B. Nature follows rigid patterns.
C. Nature is a source of inspiration. D. Nature offers companionship
C
After Taylor Swift, the “Mona Lisa” is probably the most recognizable female face in the world. Every day around 20,000 people stare at the Leonardo da Vinci's painting in the Louvre. Yet it became famous not because of a tempting semi-smile. Until a worker stole the masterpiece in 1911, it was still mostly unknown; viewers flooded in to see what a French newspaper called “an enormous, horrific, gaping void (空自)”.
Classics of art, literature and music are supposed to carry some mysterious appeal that endures across the ages. But as Rochelle Gurstein, a historian, writes in a new book, the “timeless classic” is anything but “What I believed was written in stone was actually written in water”, she argues. Classics come and go.
Take other celebrated works of art. Until the end of the 19th century Michelangelo's “David” had only his fig leaf to protect him from the weather in Piazza della Signoria in Florence. He attracted more pigeons than visitors; visitors preferred the artist's sculpture of Moses in Rome. Before the famous “Venus de Milo” was discovered in 1820, viewers were crazy about “Venus de Medici”, a delicate sculpture most people alive today have never heard of.
Much as in art, the classics of music and literature have not always been set in stone either. Today Johann Sebastjan Bach is often regarded as the master of classical music. But after his death in 1750,Bach's compositions fell out of fashion until Felix Mendelssohn, a German composer, rediscovered them in the 1820s. Herman Melville's masterpiece “Moby Dick” was largely forgotten until critics such as Raymond Weaver, a professor at Columbia University rescued him from the depth of a nobody around the centenary of his birth in 1919.
“The status of classics” depends on critics and shows the power of passionate writers to change the way people look at art. Tastes evolve, and they should. But culture lives on only as long as people continue to argue over what counts as a classic today. The true enemy of the classic is not relativism or awakening. It is silence.
28.What made the painting “Mona Lisa” famous
A. The theft. B. The semi-smile. C. The report. D. The painter.
29.What does Rochelle think of classics
A. Enduring. B. Fading. C. Changeable. D. Admirable.
30.How does the author develop paragraph 4
A. By making a comparison. B. By offering examples.
C. By giving an explanation. D. By giving a description.
31. What might ultimately discourage the development of classics
A. The ignorance of culture. B. The course of time.
C. The evolution of tastes. D. The lack of criticism.
D
The brain is protected by shock-absorbing fluid and, outside that, the skull. In a concussion (脑震荡).the brain bounces around in the skull, accelerating, decelerating or revolving. This creates a series of impacts, The neurons (神经元) in the brain are disturbed, and between those neurons, the axons – thin fibers that transmit electrical impulses -- stretch or break, Inside the brain, it's like an earthquake that has happened. Everything is still standing, but there are cracks in the roads and in building foundations.
This extremely small damage has big consequences. But decades ago, the public had a “walk it off” attitude towards concussions. That's changed, thanks in part to an increased awareness about the long-term effects. The 2015 film “Concussion” tells the true story of Dr Bennet Omalu, a forensic pathologist studying chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a brain disorder caused by repeated head injuries.
Until recently, the dark-room treatment was the standard prescribed by most doctors, involving patients resting in darkness and without any mental stimulation, until their symptoms eased off. This suggestion came out of studies in the 1990s and early 2000s that found when athletes with concussions continued with high levels of activity, they recovered more slowly than those who rested.
But people who spend more time in a dark room - sometimes called “cocooning”- are also more likely to experience anxiety, depression and sleep problems. Their bodies get weaker due to underuse, as well.
“Science and research have evolved over the past decade, showing that when you stop doing activity altogether, that actually affects your recovery process,” says Babul, a sports-injury specialist. The active-rest approach to concussion recovery promotes a slow increase in activity, starting with a day or two of light daily movement, and gradually adding activity, building to a full return to normal, unrestricted activity.
“People who follow the right guidance and management tend to recover uneventfully, and those who don't and continue to do their activities continue to tax their brain and are likely to have long-term, persisting symptoms,” Babul says, “The key is to recognize it immediately and know what to do.”
32.What is the first paragraph mainly about
A. The workings of concussion. B. The causes of concussion.
C. The symptoms of concussion. D. The effects of concussion.
33. What leads to people's weaker bodies in the dark-room treatment
A. The dark environment. B. Their physical pain.
C. Their insufficient activity. D. Their mental disorder.
34. Which practice is advised to help with concussion, according to the passage
A. Setting a progressive fitness plan first. B. Doing heavy housework daily.

Six years as a space reporter taught me that chaos rules everything. Nothing is completely predictable or controlled. I have watched enough go wrong to know that no view of a celestial (天空的) event is ever truly promised to us 41 on the earth.
So when my mother and I decided to drive out to Erie, Pennsylvania, to see the April 8 total solar eclipse(日全食) this year, I knew this would be a trip of two 42 attitudes. I'd be 43 about the weather and convinced we'd be victims of the randomness that governs the world while my mom would have strong faith that order would 44 and the skies would let us glimpse an eclipse like this for the first time in our lives. I told her not to 45 the universe for this one, she told me she wouldn't depend on anything else.
I was once again humbled into a 46 I've learned time and time again: Mama knows best. Erie's forecast that morning was looking 47 , but by the time first contact between the sun and the moon began a little after 2 p.m., the clouds over the city's bay began to clear. The pale yellow sun under the eclipse lenses rapidly crested(达到顶峰),concentrating into a 48 orange glow.
The eclipse 49 at 3:16 p.m. A thin white glow pierced out from the edge of a clean black circle. The sunset-like 50 glowed and bloomed in the distance. I could spot solar prominences(日珥) sticking out from the sides of the sun 51 slightly bright red and pink. Jupiter and Venus also played roles in this performance. It felt like bearing 52 to something close to a miracle. Four minutes later, the eclipse 53 .The sun brightened again. And the clouds 54 violently, swallowing up the moon and the sun and the sky in gray. But for four incredible minutes, the universe seems to have 55 a promise to my mother.

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。
When I was in middle school, my social studies teacher asked me to enter a writing contest, I said no without thinking. I did not love writing. My family came from Brazil, so English was only my second language. Writing was so difficult and painful for me that my teacher had allowed me to present my paper on the sinking of the Titanic by acting out a play, where I played all the parts. No one laughed harder than he did.
So, why did he suddenly force me to do something at which I was sure to fail His reply: “Because I love your stories. If you’re willing to apply yourself, I think you have a good shot at this.” Encouraged by his words, I agreed to give it a try.
I chose Paul Revere’s horse as my subject. Paul Revere was a silversmith (银匠) in Boston who rode a horse at night on April 18, 1775 to Lexington to warn people that British soldiers were coming. My story would come straight from the horse’s mouth. Not a brilliant idea, but funny, and unlikely to be anyone else’s choice.
What did the horse think, as he sped through the night Did he get tired Have doubts Did he want to quit I sympathized immediately. I got tired. I had doubts. I wanted to quit. But, like Revere’s horse, I kept going. I worked hard. I checked my spelling. I asked my older sister to correct my grammar. I checked out a half-dozen books on Paul Revere from the library. I even read a few of them.
When I handed in the essay to my teacher, he read it, laughed out loud and said, “Great. Now, write it again.” I wrote it again, and again and again. When I finally finished it, the thought of winning had given way to the enjoyment of writing. If I didn’t win, I wouldn’t care.注意:
1. 续写词数为 150左右;
2. 请按照如下格式在答题卡的相应位置做答。
A few weeks later, when I almost forgot the contest, there came the news. _______________________
