【详解】Once there was a pianist in a bar. People came just to hear him play. But one night, a lady was tired of listening to the piano and asked him to sing a song. So he did. He had never sung in public before. Now he was singing for the very first time! Nobody had expected he could sing so beautifully! All the people present had a good time and the pianist was also very happy because he found that he could sing well.
He may have lived the rest of his life as a no-name pianist in a no-name bar. Now he found, by accident, his ability to sing, so he went on working hard on singing. Later, the pianist became one of the best-known singers in the US. His name was Nat King Cole. You, too, have skills and abilities that you haven’t found. You may not feel that your talent is great, but it may be better than you think. With hard work, most skills can be improved. Besides, you may have no success at all if you do nothing about your talent.
第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分）
第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
he following 4 famous paintings — from Jan van Eyck’s portrait to Pablo Picasso’s masterpiece — have stood the test of time.
The Arnolfini Portrait
The Arnolfini Portrait of Jan van Eyck, an oil painting on wood produced in 1434, in which a man and a woman hold hands with a window behind him and a bed behind her, is undoubtedly one of the masterpieces in the National Gallery, London. This painting is as visually interesting as it is famed. It is also an informative document on fifteenth-century society, through van Eyck’s heavy use of symbolism — while husbands went out to engage in business, wives concerned themselves with domestic duties.
The Starry Night
Vincent Willem van Gogh painted The Starry Night, an oil on canvas (油画布), a moderately abstract landscape painting of an expressive night sky over a small hillside village, during his 12-month stay at the mental hospital near Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, France between 1889 and 1890. When the Museum of Modern Art in New York City purchased the painting from a private collector in 1941, it was not well known, but it has since become one of van Gogh’s most famous works.
The Harvesters
The Harvesters is an oil painting on wood completed by Pieter Bruegel the Elder in 1565.It depicts the harvest time which most commonly emerged within the months of August and September. Nicolaes Jonghelinck, a merchant banker and art collector from Antwerp, commissioned this painting. The painting has been at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City since 1919.
Guernica
Guernica, a large black-and-white oil painting, was painted by the Cubist Spanish painter, Pablo Picasso in 1937.The title “Guernica” refers to the city that was bombed by Nazi planes during the Spanish Civil War. The painting depicts the horrors of war and as a result, has come to be an anti-war symbol and a reminder of the tragedies of war. Today, the painting is housed at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia in Madrid.
21．Which of the following paintings was produced earliest
A．Guernica. B．The Harvesters. C．The Starry Night. D．The Amolfini Portrait.
22．What do we know about the painting The Starry Night
A．It was painted on wood in oils.
B．It described the painter’s life in hospital.
C．It wasn’t widely recognized before 1941.
D．It was given away to the Museum of Modern Art in New York City by a collector.
23．Who created the painting describing the harvest seasons
A．Pieter Bruegel the Elder. B．Vincent van Gogh. C．Jan van Eyck. D．Pablo Picasso.
【答案】21．D 22．C 23．A
【导语】这是一篇应用文。主要介绍了四幅著名画作：《阿尔诺芬尼夫妇像》、《星月夜》、《收割者》和《格尔尼卡》。
21．细节理解题。根据The Arnolfini Portrait中“The Arnolfini Portrait of Jan van Eyck, an oil painting on wood produced in 1434(1434年制作的木面油画《阿尔诺芬尼夫妇像》)”；The Starry Night中“during his 12-month stay at the mental hospital near Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, France between 1889 and 1890(1889年至1890年，文森特·威廉·梵高在法国普罗旺斯圣-雷姆米附近的精神病院住了12个月，期间创作了一幅油画《星月夜》)”；The Harvesters中“The Harvesters is an oil painting on wood completed by Pieter Bruegel the Elder in 1565.( 《收割者》是彼得·勃鲁盖尔创作于1565年的木本油画。)”和Guernica中“Guernica, a large black-and-white oil painting, was painted by the Cubist Spanish painter, Pablo Picasso in 1937.( 《格尔尼卡》是一幅大型黑白油画，由西班牙立体派画家巴勃罗·毕加索于1937年创作。)”可知，《阿尔诺芬尼夫妇像》创作于 1434 年；《星月夜》创作于 1889 - 1890 年；《收割者》创作于 1565 年；《格尔尼卡》创作于 1937 年。所以创作时间最早的是《阿尔诺芬尼夫妇像》。故选D项。
22．细节理解题。根据The Starry Night中“When the Museum of Modern Art in New York City purchased the painting from a private collector in 1941, it was not well known, but it has since become one of van Gogh’s most famous works.( 1941年，纽约现代艺术博物馆（Museum of Modern Art）从一位私人收藏家手中买下这幅画时，它并不为人所知，但它后来成为梵高最著名的作品之一。)”可知，在 1941 年之前，《星月夜》并不广为人知。故选C项。
23．细节理解题。根据The Harvesters中“The Harvesters is an oil painting on wood completed by Pieter Bruegel the Elder in 1565. It depicts the harvest time which most commonly emerged within the months of August and September.( 《收割者》是彼得·勃鲁盖尔创作于1565年的木本油画。它描绘了收获季节，通常出现在8月和9月。)”可知，是彼得 勃鲁盖尔（Pieter Bruegel the Elder）创作了这幅描绘丰收季节的画。故选A项。
B
Decades ago, my friend Caetlin received a special assignment from the poet Robert L. Hass, who instructed each student to memorize three poems of their choosing from The Norton Anthology of American Literature—not for any urgent exam reason, he claimed, but instead to prepare them for their unavoidable future occasions when you’re going to be alone, and poetry is going to be all you have.
If the task was as a strange one, it’s because the act of memorizing a poem feels curiously old-fashioned in an era when few of us encounter poetry at all. When I was in graduate school, working toward a degree in English literature, I mostly limited myself to essays. It was only in my 40s that I began to change my ways. It happened in a flight to Seattle. For hours, I read nothing else but a poem. Sometimes I spoke its lines aloud, my voice masked by the airplane’s thrum. Sometimes I went through the whole poem at once, and sometimes I repeated a single stanza (诗节) over and over, and by the time my plane landed on the West Coast, I had the whole thing, all 40 lines of it, in my head. Because the process is as simple as it is very boring, memorizing a great poem always begins as a crime. The boredom of repetition reduces the great charm it has. But as you run your hands through the rock, the lines at last come together again, and the scattered text transforms back into a treasure.
In other words, poetry survives continuously by becoming a part of those who read it. It can do so only because it is so specific, so entirely different from us, that taking it in expands our own sense of what we are.
Some of the poems I’ve memorized are already fading, and that’s fine. I know that if I spend a little time with them, they’ll sing in me again. Others keep beating in me like a new pulse. I won’t promise you that memorizing poetry will make your life better, but it will make you more: more in touch with language, with other minds, maybe with what you might yet become.
24．Why did Robert L. Hass advise students to read poems
A．To become literature professors. B．To prepare for the coming exams.
C．To compose more original poems. D．To relieve their future loneliness.
25．Why does the author say that memorizing a poem begins as a crime
A．It’s out of date to recite poems. B．Repetition wastes a lot of time.
C．Repetition ruins the poem’s beauty. D．It’s a shame to read poems on plane.
26．How does understanding poetry influence us
A．By broadening self-understanding. B．By refreshing our good memories.
C．By helping us survive the hard life. D．By reminding us to forget the past.
27．What is the author’s attitude towards memorizing poetry in the last paragraph
A．Doubtful. B．Reserved. C．Appreciative. D．Critical.
【答案】24．D 25．C 26．A 27．C
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲述了作者朋友多年前被诗人Robert L. Hass布置了一项特别任务——背诵三首诗，以及作者自己后来开始背诵诗歌的经历和感悟。
24．细节理解题。根据文章第一段中“not for any urgent exam reason, he claimed, but instead to prepare them for their unavoidable future occasions when you’re going to be alone, and poetry is going to be all you have(他声称，这不是因为任何紧急的考试原因，而是为了让他们为将来不可避免的孤独时刻做好准备，届时诗歌将成为你唯一拥有的东西)。”可知，Robert L. Hass的目的是为了让学生在未来孤独时有所依靠，以缓解孤独感。故选D。
25．细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“Because the process is as simple as it is very boring, memorizing a great poem always begins as a crime. The boredom of repetition reduces the great charm it has(因为这个过程既简单又无聊，背诵一首伟大的诗总是开始得像是一种罪过。重复的无聊减少了它所具有的巨大魅力)。”可知，作者认为背诵诗歌的过程中，重复的无聊会破坏诗歌的魅力，因此开始背诵诗歌时就像是一种罪过。故选C。
26．推理判断题。根据文章第三段中“In other words, poetry survives continuously by becoming a part of those who read it. It can do so only because it is so specific, so entirely different from us, that taking it in expands our own sense of what we are(换句话说，诗歌通过成为读者的一部分而不断存在。它之所以能做到这一点，是因为它是如此的具体，与我们如此的不同，以至于接受它扩展了我们对自己是什么的感觉)。”可知，理解诗歌可以扩展我们对自我的认识，影响我们对自我的理解。A选项“By broadening self-understanding.(通过拓宽自我理解)”符合题意。故选A。
27．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中“I won’t promise you that memorizing poetry will make your life better, but it will make you more: more in touch with language, with other minds, maybe with what you might yet become(我不会向你保证背诵诗歌会让你的生活变得更好，但它会让你变得更多：更多地接触语言，接触其他思想，也许还有你可能成为的样子)。”可知，作者对背诵诗歌持赞赏的态度，认为背诵诗歌可以让人更多地接触语言、其他思想和可能的自我。故选C。
C
We may think we’re a culture that gets rid of our worn technology at the first sight of something shiny and new, but a new study shows that we keep using our old devices well after they go out of style. That’s bad news for the environment — and our wallets — as these obsolete devices consume much more energy than the newer ones that do the same things.
To figure out how much power these devices are using, Callie Babbitt and her colleagues at the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York tracked the environmental costs for each product throughout its life — from when its minerals are mined to when we stop using the device. This method provided a readout for how home energy use has evolved since the early 1990s. Devices were grouped by generation. Desktop computers, basic mobile phones, and box set TVs defined 1992. Digital cameras arrived on the scene in 1997. And MP3 players, smart phones, and LCD TVs entered homes in 2002, before tablets and e-readers showed up in 2007. As we accumulated more devices, however, we didn’t throw out our old ones. “The living-room television is replaced and gets planted in the kids’ room, and suddenly one day, you have a TV in every room of the house,” said one researcher. The average number of electronic devices rose from four per household in 1992to 13 in 2007. We’re not just keeping these old devices — we continue to use them. According to the analysis of Babbitt’s team, old desktop monitors and box TVs with cathode ray tubes are the worst devices with their energy consumption and contribution to greenhouse gas emissions more than doubling during the 1992 to 2007 window.
So what’s the solution The team’s data only went up to 2007, but the researchers also explored what would happen if consumers replaced old products with new electronics that serve more than one function, such as a tablet for word processing and TV viewing. They found that more on-demand entertainment viewing on tablets instead of TVs and desktop computers could cut energy consumption by 44%.
28．What does the underlined word “obsolete” mean in the first paragraph
A．Outdated. B．Eco-friendly.
C．Moderate. D．Sensitive.
29．Why did Babbitt’s team conduct the research
A．To reduce the cost of minerals.
B．To test the life cycle of a product.
C．To update consumers on new technology.
D．To find out electricity consumption of the devices.
30．Which of the following uses the least energy
A．The box-set TV. B．The tablet.
C．The LCD TV. D．The desktop computer.
31．What does the text suggest people do about old electronic devices
A．Stop using them. B．Take them apart.
C．Upgrade them. D．Recycle them.
【答案】28．A 29．D 30．B 31．A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章揭示人们持续使用旧电子设备这一现象及其带来的负面影响，并提出相应的解决建议。
28．词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“We may think we’re a culture that gets rid of our worn technology at the first sight of something shiny and new, but a new study shows that we keep using our old devices well after they go out of style. That’s bad news for the environment — and our wallets (我们可能会认为，在我们的文化中，一看到闪亮的新东西，我们就会扔掉旧的技术，但一项新的研究表明，即使旧设备过时了，我们也会继续使用它们。这对环境和我们的钱包来说是个坏消息)”可推测下文意思是因为这些过时的设备比做同样事情的新设备消耗更多的能源。所以obsolete意为“过时的”，和Outdated同义，故选A。
29．细节理解题。根据第二段“To figure out how much power these devices are using, Callie Babbitt and her colleagues at the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York tracked the environmental costs for each product throughout its life (为了弄清楚这些设备的耗电量，纽约罗切斯特理工学院的Callie Babbitt和她的同事们追踪了每个产品在其整个生命周期中的环境成本)”可知，Babbitt 团队进行研究是为了弄清楚这些设备使用多少电量，也就是找出设备的电力消耗情况，故选D。
30．细节理解题。根据最后一段“They found that more on-demand entertainment viewing on tablets instead of TVs and desktop computers could cut energy consumption by 44%. (他们发现，在平板电脑上观看更多的点播娱乐节目，而不是电视和台式电脑，可以减少44%的能源消耗。)”可知，用平板电脑观看娱乐节目比电视和台式电脑能削减 44% 的能源消耗，由此可知平板电脑使用的能源最少，故选B。
31．推理判断题。根据最后一段“So what’s the solution The team’s data only went up to 2007, but the researchers also explored what would happen if consumers replaced old products with new electronics that serve more than one function, such as a tablet for word processing and TV viewing. They found that more on-demand entertainment viewing on tablets instead of TVs and desktop computers could cut energy consumption by 44%. (那么解决方案是什么呢？研究小组的数据只持续到2007年，但研究人员也探索了如果消费者用新电子产品取代旧产品会发生什么，这些新电子产品具有多种功能，比如用于文字处理和看电视的平板电脑。他们发现，在平板电脑上观看更多的点播娱乐节目，而不是电视和台式电脑，可以减少44%的能源消耗。)”可知如果消费者用新的多功能电子产品取代旧产品，能削减能源消耗，故推断建议人们停止使用旧电子设备，故选A。
D
Twentieth-century mathematician Alan Turing theorized that data could be encoded in binary (二维码) logic, yet modern quantum computing reveals its fluid nature. Today’s algorithms process information in dynamic states, proving that data’s essence depends on how we frame its purpose. Like time for St. Augustine, data goes against absolute definition.
What if we measured data not by its storage capacity but by its ecological cost What if “ data footprints”—— the environmental toll of servers and e-waste——dictated our digital consumption As AI’s energy demands equal small nations’ electricity use, we’re realizing that taming tech’s environmental impact requires reimagining our relationship with information. Could recalibrating (校准)data’s value enhance planetary health
My team has prototyped a “Biosphere Clock” tracking real-time emissions from global cloud servers. Hosted at the Singapore Science Centre, it synchronizes with conventional network timestamps when emissions stay within Paris Agreement targets. Should server farms exceed carbon limits, the clock accelerates, making our binge-streaming habits visible. If green energy adoption progresses, it slows, rewarding eco-conscious data practices.
This system exposes both sudden energy spikes and decade-long trends. Like ancient Sundials relating human activity to solar cycles, it lets users observe digital consumption through an ecological lens. Citizens adopting Biosphere Time might postpone non-urgent uploads during high-emission periods, while enterprises could optimize server loads. Early tests in Stockholm (瑞典首都) showed a 17% drop in peak-hour data traffic when the clock turned “red”.
Though innovative in its metrics (衡量标准), this approach echoes pre-industrial societies that scheduled harvests by seasons. The Biosphere Clock, much like Andean farmers reading stars for planting, grounds our digital age in Earth’s rhythms. By making abstract emissions seen, it might spark the cultural shift needed to sustain both our virtual and natural worlds.
When Turing cracked the Enigma code, he demonstrated data’s contextual power. Similarly, every data framework gains meaning through its chosen perspective. Whether measuring in bits, joules (焦耳), or ecosystem impacts, each metric reveals truths——and hides others——based on what we prioritize.
32．What is the main idea of Paragraph 1
A．Data storage has evolved beyond binary systems.
B．Data’s nature changes with measurement frameworks.
C．Quantum computing revolutionized information theory.
D．Mathematics struggles to define information absolutely.
33．The author raises questions in Paragraph 2 primarily to ________.
A．challenge a technical standard.
B．criticize energy-inefficient AI models.
C．propose an ecological methodology.
D．highlight historical measurement errors.
34．What can be inferred about the Biosphere Clock
A．It restricts data access during high-emission periods.
B．Its speed inversely relates to green energy adoption.
C．It replaces network timestamps with emission metrics.
D．Its Stockholm trial eliminated unnecessary data traffic.
35．Which message does the passage emphasize
A．Technological progress must respect ecological boundaries.
B．Historical data practices outperform modern algorithms.
C．Data’s true value lies in its commercial applications.
D．Absolute measurement systems guarantee sustainability.
【答案】32．B 33．C 34．B 35．A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要探讨了数据的本质与衡量方式，提出用数据的生态成本来衡量数据，介绍了“生物圈时钟”这一创新系统及其作用，强调技术进步应尊重生态界限。
32．主旨大意题。根据第一段“Twentieth-century mathematician Alan Turing theorized that data could be encoded in binary (二维码) logic, yet modern quantum computing reveals its fluid nature. Today’s algorithms process information in dynamic states, proving that data’s essence depends on how we frame its purpose. Like time for St. Augustine, data goes against absolute definition(20世纪的数学家艾伦 图灵提出理论，认为数据可以用二进制逻辑进行编码，然而现代量子计算揭示了数据的流动性本质。如今的算法以动态状态处理信息，证明了数据的本质取决于我们如何界定其用途。就像圣奥古斯丁对时间的理解一样，数据无法被绝对定义)”可知，第一段先提到图灵认为数据可用二进制编码，接着指出量子计算显示数据的流动性，如今算法处理信息的状态表明数据本质取决于用途界定，说明数据的本质会随着衡量框架的变化而改变。故选B。
33．推理判断题。根据第二段“What if we measured data not by its storage capacity but by its ecological cost What if “ data footprints”—— the environmental toll of servers and e-waste——dictated our digital consumption As AI’s energy demands equal small nations’ electricity use, we’re realizing that taming tech’s environmental impact requires reimagining our relationship with information. Could recalibrating (校准)data’s value enhance planetary health ( 如果我们不是根据数据的存储容量，而是根据其生态成本来衡量数据会怎样呢？如果“数据足迹”—— 服务器和电子垃圾对环境造成的损害 —— 决定了我们的数字消费又会怎样呢？随着人工智能的能源需求相当于一些小国家的用电量，我们意识到，要控制技术对环境的影响，就需要重新审视我们与信息的关系。重新校准数据的价值能否增进地球的健康呢？)”可知，要控制技术对环境的影响，就需要重新审视我们与信息的关系。重新校准数据的价值能否增进地球的健康呢？可推理出作者提出这些问题是为了引出用生态成本衡量数据、重新审视与信息的关系以及通过校准数据价值增进地球健康等观点，也就是提出一种基于生态的方法学。故选C。
34．推理判断题。根据第三段“Should server farms exceed carbon limits, the clock accelerates, making our binge-streaming habits visible. If green energy adoption progresses, it slows, rewarding eco-conscious data practices(如果服务器农场的碳排放超过了限制，这个时钟就会加速，让我们无节制的流媒体播放习惯显现出来。如果绿色能源的采用取得进展，时钟就会变慢，这是对具有生态意识的数据使用行为的奖励)”可知，当绿色能源使用增加时，时钟变慢，说明它的速度与绿色能源的采用成反比关系。故选B。
35．推理判断题。根据第二段“What if we measured data not by its storage capacity but by its ecological cost What if “ data footprints”—— the environmental toll of servers and e-waste——dictated our digital consumption ( 如果我们不是用存储容量来衡量数据，而是用其生态成本来衡量，会怎样呢？如果“数据足迹”——服务器和电子垃圾对环境的影响——决定了我们的数字消费习惯，又会如何呢？)”、第三段“My team has prototyped a “Biosphere Clock” tracking real-time emissions from global cloud servers. Hosted at the Singapore Science Centre, it synchronizes with conventional network timestamps when emissions stay within Paris Agreement targets. Should server farms exceed carbon limits, the clock accelerates, making our binge-streaming habits visible. If green energy adoption progresses, it slows, rewarding eco-conscious data practices(我的团队已经开发了一个“生物圈时钟”原型，实时追踪全球云服务器的排放量。该时钟设在新加坡科学中心，当排放量保持在《巴黎协定》目标内时，它会与常规网络时间戳同步。如果服务器集群超过碳排放限制，时钟就会加速，使我们的狂看流媒体习惯变得显而易见。如果绿色能源的采用取得进展，时钟就会减速，以奖励环保的数据实践)”以及倒数第二段“By making abstract emissions seen, it might spark the cultural shift needed to sustain both our virtual and natural worlds(通过让抽象的排放变得可见，它可能会引发维持我们的虚拟世界和自然世界所需的文化转变)”可知，文章从数据的本质与衡量方式引出用生态成本衡量数据的观点，介绍了“生物圈时钟”这一系统来让人们关注数据使用的生态影响，最后强调通过这种方式可能引发文化转变，维持虚拟世界和自然世界的可持续发展，整体强调技术进步必须尊重生态界限。故选A。

Ways to Boost Your Energy
Are you sleepy as the afternoon wears on When low energy drags you down, don’t look to a candy bar, a cup of coffee, or an energy drink for a lift. The sugar and caffeine might give you an immediate pick-me-up, but after that quick high wears off, you’ll crash and feel even more tired.What you need is a lasting solution to helping you feel refreshed. What you need is a lasting solution to helping you feel refreshed. 36
Let the sunshine in.
Research suggests that just a few minutes of walking outside on a warm, clear day may enhance mood, memory, and the ability to absorb new information. Going outside can even improve your self-esteem. 37
Chew a piece of sugar-free gum.
It’s not exactly clear why, but numerous studies have shown that chewing gum increases attentiveness. Even before science confirmed it, during World War I, American soldiers were issued gum to help them focus.
38
When you’re stressed, it’s natural to breathe shallowly, which can decrease the amount of oxygen that reaches cells. To counteract that, try breathing in through your nose for four seconds, holding your breath for four seconds, and then slowly breathing out for four seconds.
Have a drink of water.
You don’t necessarily have to follow the “eight glasses a day” rule. But you do want to drink enough water to keep your body functioning well. 39 The walk there will also help you wake up.
Belt out your favorite tune.
40 So grab a hairbrush, put on your favorite song, and sing away. If you’re at work and don’t want to face others’ puzzled stares, you might want to save your beautiful voice for the car.
A．Have a bite.
B．Take a few deep breaths.
C．Singing reduces levels of stress in your body.
D．If you really can’t get out, at least open the shades.
E．Here are some ways.
F．Try to get to the fridge or water cooler for a refill every few hours.
G．Expose yourself to natural sunlight, especially in the early morning.
【答案】36．E 37．D 38．B 39．F 40．C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了提升精力的几种方法，包括让阳光照进来、嚼无糖口香糖、深呼吸、喝水以及唱歌等，旨在为读者提供实用、有效的提升精力的方法。
36．根据上文“What you need is a lasting solution to helping you feel refreshed.(你需要的是一个持久的解决方案，帮助你感到精神焕发。)”可知，接下来要介绍提升精力的方法。选项E“Here are some ways.(以下是一些方法。)”起到了承上启下的作用，引出下文具体的方法。故选E。
37．根据上文“Research suggests that just a few minutes of walking outside on a warm, clear day may enhance mood, memory, and the ability to absorb new information. Going outside can even improve your self-esteem.(研究表明，在温暖、晴朗的日子里，只需在户外散步几分钟，就可能改善情绪、增强记忆力，并提升吸收新信息的能力。到户外走走甚至还能提升你的自尊心。)”可知，上文提到了户外散步的好处。选项D“If you really can’t get out, at least open the shades.(如果你实在无法外出，至少拉开窗帘。)”是针对无法外出的情况提出的替代方法，与小标题“Let the sunshine in.(让阳光照进来)”相呼应。故选D。
38．空处为本段小标题，为本段主要内容。根据下文“When you’re stressed, it’s natural to breathe shallowly, which can decrease the amount of oxygen that reaches cells. To counteract that, try breathing in through your nose for four seconds, holding your breath for four seconds, and then slowly breathing out for four seconds.(当你感到压力时，自然会浅呼吸，这会减少到达细胞的氧气量。为了应对这种情况，试着用鼻子吸气四秒钟，屏住呼吸四秒钟，然后慢慢地呼气四秒钟。)”可知，本段讲述的是深呼吸的方法。选项B“Take a few deep breaths.(做几次深呼吸)”符合本段主旨大意。故选B。
39．根据小标题“Have a drink of water(喝点水)”可知，本段主要建议人们喝水。根据空前“You don’t necessarily have to follow the “eight glasses a day” rule. But you do want to drink enough water to keep your body functioning well.(你不一定非要遵循“每天八杯水”的原则。但你确实需要饮用足够的水，以保证身体正常运转。)”可知，上文建议要饮用足够的水。选项F“Try to get to the fridge or water cooler for a refill every few hours.(尽量每隔几个小时就去冰箱或饮水机那里再接些水。)”延续上文内容，具体说明了获取水的方式，同时“get to the fridge or water cooler”和空后的“The walk there will also help you wake up.(走去那里的过程也会帮助你清醒过来。)”中的“the walk”保持一致。故选F。
40．根据下文“So grab a hairbrush, put on your favorite song, and sing away.(所以拿起一把梳子，播放你最喜欢的歌曲，尽情歌唱吧。)”中的“so”可推测，空处说明了这样做的原因。选项C“Singing reduces levels of stress in your body.(唱歌能降低你身体的压力水平。)”解释了唱歌能减轻身体压力，与下文形成逻辑关系。故选C。

【答案】
56．dates 57．bordered 58．but 59．to 60．to preserve 61．recognition 62．most remarkable 63．that 64．offering 65．has witnessed
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是蒙特利尔唐人街的历史背景、文化特色及其对当地社区的影响。
56．考查动词时态。句意：蒙特利尔唐人街位于Ville-Marie区，是一个历史和文化中心，其历史可以追溯到19世纪90年代初期。此处为定语从句的谓语动词，date back to表示“追溯到”，本句描述一般事实，时态用一般现在时，且主语that代替先行词a historic and cultural hub (中心)为第三人称单数，所以谓语动词用第三人称单数dates。故填dates。
57．考查非谓语动词。句意：它坐落在一个区域，东至Saint Dominique街，北至René Lévesque大道，南至Viger街，西至Jeanne-Mance街。本句谓语为is situated in，此处为非谓语动词，且border“环绕，与……接壤”和an area之间是被动关系，即“区域被街道环绕”，所以用过去分词作后置定语。故填bordered。
58．考查连词。句意：蒙特利尔唐人街不仅是一个商业中心，也是社区聚集在一起庆祝各种节日和活动的地方。此处是固定搭配not only…but also…，意为“不仅……而且……”符合句意，所以此处使用连词but。故填but。
59．考查固定短语。句意：这里有蒙特利尔最大的中文学校、一家华人医院，还有众多弘扬中华文化的组织。此处是固定短语be home to，意为”是……的所在地，有……存在”，其中to为介词。故填to。
60．考查非谓语动词。句意：尽管面临房地产开发等挑战，该地区还是成功保留了自己的文化遗产。本句谓语为has managed，此处为非谓语动词，manage to do sth.是固定搭配，意为“设法做成某事”，所以用动词preserve“保留”的不定式to preserve。故填to preserve。
61．考查名词。句意：事实上，为了表彰其历史价值，蒙特利尔唐人街的部分区域在2023年7月被授予文化遗产地位。本空作介词in的宾语，recognize的名词recognition，意为“承认，表彰”，in recognition of是固定短语，意为“为了表彰，鉴于”。故填recognition。
62．考查形容词最高级。句意：唐人街（最）引人注目的特色之一是孙中山古典中式园林，它体现了传统的中国建筑和设计风格。本空修饰名词features，形容词remarkable 意为“引人注目的”符合；结合句意和定冠词the可知，此处应用形容词最高级。故填most remarkable。
63．考查定语从句。句意：唐人街引人注目的特色之一是孙逸仙古典中式园林，它体现了传统的中国建筑和设计风格。本空引导限制性定语从句，先行词是不定代词one，指物，在从句中作主语，所以此处应用关系代词that引导。故填that。
64．考查非谓语动词。句意：它是城市景观中一处独特的地方，让人们得以一窥中国园艺艺术。本句谓语为is，此处为非谓语动词，且offer“提供”与逻辑主语it之间为主动关系，应用现在分词作状语。故填offering。
65．考查动词时态。句意：蒙特利尔的唐人街见证了这座城市过去几个世纪的文化多样性以及华人社区的发展。根据时间状语over the past centuries可知，句子时态应用现在完成时，又因主语Montreal’s Chinatown是第三人称单数，所以助动词用has。故填has witnessed。

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。
It was a sunny afternoon when I first heard the whispers.
I was the most popular girl in my school. I had a lot of friends, and I had a best friend, Isabella. You might think she was the second most popular girl in school, but apparently she was not. I had a lot of admirers, which made some people very eager for my popularity, like Jess. But she tried everything to embarrass me. Once, I saw her crying in the classroom, and I was surprised by her difficulty, so I tried to talk to her, but she was still crying, somehow louder. Soon, people entered the classroom for the class, and Jess quickly started saying things loudly like “Please forgive me, Amy! I will definitely make your homework better next time!” I was so shocked!
The laughter that once occurred in the school corridors had turned into a low whisper. People I once called friends began to drift away. Every interaction felt like navigating a minefield (雷区) except Isabella, who didn’t leave me. My messages in group chats went unanswered. During class, the seat next to me sat empty. A heavy feeling came over me, like something pressing on my chest. I tried to ignore the words, but they seemed like an invisible shadow, following me wherever I went. Actually, people just didn’t know me — they only saw the surface and thought I was just a girl having double faces. What they didn’t know was that I had been studying good manners at a young age, day after day, year after year.
My loneliness was getting deeper and deeper, but no one seemed to understand. One particularly painful afternoon, I locked myself in my room as soon as I got home. I lay in bed, on my stomach, tears streaming silently down my cheeks.

Isabella listened intently, never interrupting.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文：
Just as darkness threatened to envelop me, the phone on the bedside table rang. I ignored it because I felt too hopeless to care. But the constant ringing bothered my loneliness, and I glanced at it impatiently. It was a message from Isabella. Without thinking, I typed, “I’m not okay.” She called right away, sounding really worried. For the first time in weeks, I couldn’t hold back my emotions. Sobbing deeply, I told her everything — the whispers, the rumors, and how lonely I felt.
Isabella listened intently, never interrupting. “I don’t know who started it,” she whispered after I finished talking. “But I know you are kind, strong, and can bounce back. I’ll always be there for you.” From then on, Isabella made me feel more sure of myself. She stayed with me when others were mean. She sat with me at meals, talking softly to block out the whispers. Slowly, people started smiling at me instead of whispering. Even Jess said sorry to me!
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，文章主要讲述了主人公在学校因人气高而遭到嫉妒，尤其是Jess的针对，导致她失去很多朋友，陷入孤独。但在最好的朋友Isabella的支持和陪伴下，主人公逐渐走出困境，重拾自信，周围人对她的态度也慢慢好转。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句“正当黑暗似乎要将我吞噬时，床头的电话响了。”可知，本段描述了主人公在孤独和无助时，接到了来自好友Isabella的电话，并向她倾诉了自己的困境。
②由第二段首句“Isabella聚精会神地听着，从不打断。”可知，本段主要描绘了Isabella对主人公的倾听、鼓励和支持，以及之后主人公心境和周围人态度的转变。
2.续写线索：
接到电话——倾诉困境——倾听鼓励——重拾自信——态度转变——感悟友情

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
he following 4 famous paintings — from Jan van Eyck’s portrait to Pablo Picasso’s masterpiece — have stood the test of time.
The Arnolfini Portrait
The Arnolfini Portrait of Jan van Eyck, an oil painting on wood produced in 1434, in which a man and a woman hold hands with a window behind him and a bed behind her, is undoubtedly one of the masterpieces in the National Gallery, London. This painting is as visually interesting as it is famed. It is also an informative document on fifteenth-century society, through van Eyck’s heavy use of symbolism — while husbands went out to engage in business, wives concerned themselves with domestic duties.
The Starry Night
Vincent Willem van Gogh painted The Starry Night, an oil on canvas (油画布), a moderately abstract landscape painting of an expressive night sky over a small hillside village, during his 12-month stay at the mental hospital near Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, France between 1889 and 1890. When the Museum of Modern Art in New York City purchased the painting from a private collector in 1941, it was not well known, but it has since become one of van Gogh’s most famous works.
The Harvesters
The Harvesters is an oil painting on wood completed by Pieter Bruegel the Elder in 1565.It depicts the harvest time which most commonly emerged within the months of August and September. Nicolaes Jonghelinck, a merchant banker and art collector from Antwerp, commissioned this painting. The painting has been at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City since 1919.
Guernica
Guernica, a large black-and-white oil painting, was painted by the Cubist Spanish painter, Pablo Picasso in 1937.The title “Guernica” refers to the city that was bombed by Nazi planes during the Spanish Civil War. The painting depicts the horrors of war and as a result, has come to be an anti-war symbol and a reminder of the tragedies of war. Today, the painting is housed at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia in Madrid.
21．Which of the following paintings was produced earliest
A．Guernica. B．The Harvesters. C．The Starry Night. D．The Amolfini Portrait.
22．What do we know about the painting The Starry Night
A．It was painted on wood in oils.
B．It described the painter’s life in hospital.
C．It wasn’t widely recognized before 1941.
D．It was given away to the Museum of Modern Art in New York City by a collector.
23．Who created the painting describing the harvest seasons
A．Pieter Bruegel the Elder. B．Vincent van Gogh. C．Jan van Eyck. D．Pablo Picasso.

Decades ago, my friend Caetlin received a special assignment from the poet Robert L. Hass, who instructed each student to memorize three poems of their choosing from The Norton Anthology of American Literature—not for any urgent exam reason, he claimed, but instead to prepare them for their unavoidable future occasions when you’re going to be alone, and poetry is going to be all you have.
If the task was as a strange one, it’s because the act of memorizing a poem feels curiously old-fashioned in an era when few of us encounter poetry at all. When I was in graduate school, working toward a degree in English literature, I mostly limited myself to essays. It was only in my 40s that I began to change my ways. It happened in a flight to Seattle. For hours, I read nothing else but a poem. Sometimes I spoke its lines aloud, my voice masked by the airplane’s thrum. Sometimes I went through the whole poem at once, and sometimes I repeated a single stanza (诗节) over and over, and by the time my plane landed on the West Coast, I had the whole thing, all 40 lines of it, in my head. Because the process is as simple as it is very boring, memorizing a great poem always begins as a crime. The boredom of repetition reduces the great charm it has. But as you run your hands through the rock, the lines at last come together again, and the scattered text transforms back into a treasure.
In other words, poetry survives continuously by becoming a part of those who read it. It can do so only because it is so specific, so entirely different from us, that taking it in expands our own sense of what we are.
Some of the poems I’ve memorized are already fading, and that’s fine. I know that if I spend a little time with them, they’ll sing in me again. Others keep beating in me like a new pulse. I won’t promise you that memorizing poetry will make your life better, but it will make you more: more in touch with language, with other minds, maybe with what you might yet become.
24．Why did Robert L. Hass advise students to read poems
A．To become literature professors. B．To prepare for the coming exams.
C．To compose more original poems. D．To relieve their future loneliness.
25．Why does the author say that memorizing a poem begins as a crime
A．It’s out of date to recite poems. B．Repetition wastes a lot of time.
C．Repetition ruins the poem’s beauty. D．It’s a shame to read poems on plane.
26．How does understanding poetry influence us
A．By broadening self-understanding. B．By refreshing our good memories.
C．By helping us survive the hard life. D．By reminding us to forget the past.
27．What is the author’s attitude towards memorizing poetry in the last paragraph
A．Doubtful. B．Reserved. C．Appreciative. D．Critical.
C
We may think we’re a culture that gets rid of our worn technology at the first sight of something shiny and new, but a new study shows that we keep using our old devices well after they go out of style. That’s bad news for the environment — and our wallets — as these obsolete devices consume much more energy than the newer ones that do the same things.
To figure out how much power these devices are using, Callie Babbitt and her colleagues at the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York tracked the environmental costs for each product throughout its life — from when its minerals are mined to when we stop using the device. This method provided a readout for how home energy use has evolved since the early 1990s. Devices were grouped by generation. Desktop computers, basic mobile phones, and box set TVs defined 1992. Digital cameras arrived on the scene in 1997. And MP3 players, smart phones, and LCD TVs entered homes in 2002, before tablets and e-readers showed up in 2007. As we accumulated more devices, however, we didn’t throw out our old ones. “The living-room television is replaced and gets planted in the kids’ room, and suddenly one day, you have a TV in every room of the house,” said one researcher. The average number of electronic devices rose from four per household in 1992to 13 in 2007. We’re not just keeping these old devices — we continue to use them. According to the analysis of Babbitt’s team, old desktop monitors and box TVs with cathode ray tubes are the worst devices with their energy consumption and contribution to greenhouse gas emissions more than doubling during the 1992 to 2007 window.
So what’s the solution The team’s data only went up to 2007, but the researchers also explored what would happen if consumers replaced old products with new electronics that serve more than one function, such as a tablet for word processing and TV viewing. They found that more on-demand entertainment viewing on tablets instead of TVs and desktop computers could cut energy consumption by 44%.
28．What does the underlined word “obsolete” mean in the first paragraph
A．Outdated. B．Eco-friendly.
C．Moderate. D．Sensitive.
29．Why did Babbitt’s team conduct the research
A．To reduce the cost of minerals.
B．To test the life cycle of a product.
C．To update consumers on new technology.
D．To find out electricity consumption of the devices.
30．Which of the following uses the least energy
A．The box-set TV. B．The tablet.
C．The LCD TV. D．The desktop computer.
31．What does the text suggest people do about old electronic devices
A．Stop using them. B．Take them apart.
C．Upgrade them. D．Recycle them.
D
Twentieth-century mathematician Alan Turing theorized that data could be encoded in binary (二维码) logic, yet modern quantum computing reveals its fluid nature. Today’s algorithms process information in dynamic states, proving that data’s essence depends on how we frame its purpose. Like time for St. Augustine, data goes against absolute definition.
What if we measured data not by its storage capacity but by its ecological cost What if “ data footprints”—— the environmental toll of servers and e-waste——dictated our digital consumption As AI’s energy demands equal small nations’ electricity use, we’re realizing that taming tech’s environmental impact requires reimagining our relationship with information. Could recalibrating (校准)data’s value enhance planetary health
My team has prototyped a “Biosphere Clock” tracking real-time emissions from global cloud servers. Hosted at the Singapore Science Centre, it synchronizes with conventional network timestamps when emissions stay within Paris Agreement targets. Should server farms exceed carbon limits, the clock accelerates, making our binge-streaming habits visible. If green energy adoption progresses, it slows, rewarding eco-conscious data practices.
This system exposes both sudden energy spikes and decade-long trends. Like ancient Sundials relating human activity to solar cycles, it lets users observe digital consumption through an ecological lens. Citizens adopting Biosphere Time might postpone non-urgent uploads during high-emission periods, while enterprises could optimize server loads. Early tests in Stockholm (瑞典首都) showed a 17% drop in peak-hour data traffic when the clock turned “red”.
Though innovative in its metrics (衡量标准), this approach echoes pre-industrial societies that scheduled harvests by seasons. The Biosphere Clock, much like Andean farmers reading stars for planting, grounds our digital age in Earth’s rhythms. By making abstract emissions seen, it might spark the cultural shift needed to sustain both our virtual and natural worlds.
When Turing cracked the Enigma code, he demonstrated data’s contextual power. Similarly, every data framework gains meaning through its chosen perspective. Whether measuring in bits, joules (焦耳), or ecosystem impacts, each metric reveals truths——and hides others——based on what we prioritize.
32．What is the main idea of Paragraph 1
A．Data storage has evolved beyond binary systems.
B．Data’s nature changes with measurement frameworks.
C．Quantum computing revolutionized information theory.
D．Mathematics struggles to define information absolutely.
33．The author raises questions in Paragraph 2 primarily to ________.
A．challenge a technical standard.
B．criticize energy-inefficient AI models.
C．propose an ecological methodology.
D．highlight historical measurement errors.
34．What can be inferred about the Biosphere Clock
A．It restricts data access during high-emission periods.
B．Its speed inversely relates to green energy adoption.
C．It replaces network timestamps with emission metrics.
D．Its Stockholm trial eliminated unnecessary data traffic.
35．Which message does the passage emphasize
A．Technological progress must respect ecological boundaries.
B．Historical data practices outperform modern algorithms.
C．Data’s true value lies in its commercial applications.
D．Absolute measurement systems guarantee sustainability.

Ways to Boost Your Energy
Are you sleepy as the afternoon wears on When low energy drags you down, don’t look to a candy bar, a cup of coffee, or an energy drink for a lift. The sugar and caffeine might give you an immediate pick-me-up, but after that quick high wears off, you’ll crash and feel even more tired.What you need is a lasting solution to helping you feel refreshed. What you need is a lasting solution to helping you feel refreshed. 36
Let the sunshine in.
Research suggests that just a few minutes of walking outside on a warm, clear day may enhance mood, memory, and the ability to absorb new information. Going outside can even improve your self-esteem. 37
Chew a piece of sugar-free gum.
It’s not exactly clear why, but numerous studies have shown that chewing gum increases attentiveness. Even before science confirmed it, during World War I, American soldiers were issued gum to help them focus.
38
When you’re stressed, it’s natural to breathe shallowly, which can decrease the amount of oxygen that reaches cells. To counteract that, try breathing in through your nose for four seconds, holding your breath for four seconds, and then slowly breathing out for four seconds.
Have a drink of water.
You don’t necessarily have to follow the “eight glasses a day” rule. But you do want to drink enough water to keep your body functioning well. 39 The walk there will also help you wake up.
Belt out your favorite tune.
40 So grab a hairbrush, put on your favorite song, and sing away. If you’re at work and don’t want to face others’ puzzled stares, you might want to save your beautiful voice for the car.
A．Have a bite.
B．Take a few deep breaths.
C．Singing reduces levels of stress in your body.
D．If you really can’t get out, at least open the shades.
E．Here are some ways.
F．Try to get to the fridge or water cooler for a refill every few hours.
G．Expose yourself to natural sunlight, especially in the early morning.

It was a sunny afternoon when I first heard the whispers.
I was the most popular girl in my school. I had a lot of friends, and I had a best friend, Isabella. You might think she was the second most popular girl in school, but apparently she was not. I had a lot of admirers, which made some people very eager for my popularity, like Jess. But she tried everything to embarrass me. Once, I saw her crying in the classroom, and I was surprised by her difficulty, so I tried to talk to her, but she was still crying, somehow louder. Soon, people entered the classroom for the class, and Jess quickly started saying things loudly like “Please forgive me, Amy! I will definitely make your homework better next time!” I was so shocked!
The laughter that once occurred in the school corridors had turned into a low whisper. People I once called friends began to drift away. Every interaction felt like navigating a minefield (雷区) except Isabella, who didn’t leave me. My messages in group chats went unanswered. During class, the seat next to me sat empty. A heavy feeling came over me, like something pressing on my chest. I tried to ignore the words, but they seemed like an invisible shadow, following me wherever I went. Actually, people just didn’t know me — they only saw the surface and thought I was just a girl having double faces. What they didn’t know was that I had been studying good manners at a young age, day after day, year after year.
My loneliness was getting deeper and deeper, but no one seemed to understand. One particularly painful afternoon, I locked myself in my room as soon as I got home. I lay in bed, on my stomach, tears streaming silently down my cheeks.
