NAIROBI—Mirriam Wambui, a 13-year-old student, speaks Chinese with the confidence of a seasoned linguist despite having only two years of exposure to the language. She won the Kenyan Chinese Bridge Competition, ranked sixth in Africa and made it to the top 30 globally at the contest in Tianjin in late October.
“I was overjoyed to win in Kenya,” Mirriam says. Her journey with the Chinese language began through her eldest brother, who traveled to China in 2015 to pursue a master’s degree in Chinese. When he returned to visit their family in Nairobi in 2019, Mirriam was impressed by his fluency in Chinese. “My brother came back with a cellphone I had never seen before, and everything he brought, including electronics, was made in China. I became curious about this country that seemed to produce so much,” she says with a giggle.
Inspired, she enrolled in Chinese language classes two years ago. In May, with only two weeks left, she asked to join the school’s Chinese Bridge team. “My teacher was shocked as I wasn’t initially picked, but I believed in myself and went all out to prepare.” she says.
Her confidence paid off. At Kenyatta University, she wowed judges and won a laptop, trophy(奖杯) and a sponsored China trip. In October, she visited China. “People were so nice,” she says.
Her success inspired peers to learn Chinese. Teacher Charity Atunga says Chinese is the most popular of three options, with 90 of 200 students choosing it. “Support from parents and schools makes it great. Students see benefits like scholarships,” Atunga adds. She herself studied in China on a scholarship and later became a teacher.
Kenyatta University, in partnership with Shandong Normal University, hosts the Chinese Bridge Competition for high school students in Kenya. Through this partnership, over 300 Kenyan students have traveled to China.
“I want to become an ambassador in the future and learn more about Chinese language and culture.” says Mirriam.
24. What inspired Mirriam to learn Chinese
A. Attractive scholarships for Chinese learners.
B. Her brother’s wonderful experience in China.
C. Benefits of Chinese learning from her teacher.
D. Eagerness to win the Chinese Bridge Competition.
25. Which of the following best describes Mirriam
A. Confident and ambitious. B. Determined and patriotic.
C. Generous and adventurous. D. Caring and thoughtful.
26. What can we learn from the text
A. Self-belief and efforts count. B. Rome is not built in one day.
C. The early bird catches the worm. D. Actions speak louder than words.
27. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Scholarships Open Doors to Chinese Education in Kenya.
B. A Kenyan Girl Explores Chinese Culture and Innovation.
C. “Made in China” Inspires Kenyan Teens to Embrace Mandarin.
D. Kenyan Teen’s Chinese Bridge Win Fuels National Learning Passion.
C
It is widely recognized that the human brain, particularly brain cells, functions as the central storage site responsible for storing memories. Nevertheless, a team of scientists has discovered that cells in other parts of the body can also exhibit memory capabilities. This discovery provides a new perspective for further investigation of memory mechanisms.
Nikolay V. Kukushkin from New York University, the lead author of the study in Nature Communications, explains, “Learning and memory are usually linked only to brains and brain cells, but our study reveals that other body cells can learn and form memories too.”
The research aimed to explore whether non-brain cells assist memory by using the “massed-spaced effect”—a learning principle where information is remembered more effectively through spaced-interval study periods compared to trying to learn everything in one long, exhausting session, better known as cramming(考前突击) for a test.
Scientists studied two types of non-brain human cells in a lab. They exposed these cells to different chemical signal patterns, similar to how brain cells receive neurotransmitter patterns(神经递质模式) during learning. In response, the non-brain cells activated a “memory gene”—identical to that of the brain cells when detecting patterns and restructuring connections for memories.
To monitor the process, the scientists engineered the non-brain cells to produce a glowing protein, which showed when the memory gene was on or off. The results showed that these cells could distinguish repeated chemical pulses (imitating brain neurotransmitter bursts) from simply continuous ones. When the pulses were spaced out, the “memory gene” was turned on more strongly and for longer.
Kukushkin says, “This shows the ‘massed-spaced effect’ in action. The ability to learn from spaced repetition isn’t unique to brain cells; it might be a fundamental property of all cells. This discovery opens a new door for understanding how memory works and could lead to better ways to enhance learning and treat memory problems.”
28. What is the main finding of the scientific research
A. Brain cells are the most important for storing memories.
B. Chemical signals have no impact on cells’ memory function.
C. Cells from other body parts can also have a memory function.
D. The massed-spaced effect is only related to non-brain cells.
29. What is the massed-spaced effect
A. We learn better by cramming all the material at once.
B. Continuous chemical pulses are more effective for memory.
C. Spaced-interval study leads to better memory of information.
D. Non-spaced study sessions ensure stronger memory.
30. What aspect of the research is discussed in Para 4&5
A. Its challenge. B. Its highlight. C. Its conclusion. D. Its procedure.
31. What can we infer from Kukushkin’s statement in the last paragraph
A. The discovery has little relation to human health.
B. There is a long way to go to apply the findings to practice.
C. The massed-spaced effect is not useful for studying memory.
D. Studying non-brain cells’ memory may help treat memory issues.
D
ADHD is a complex disorder that goes far beyond the stereotypical image(刻板印象) of an overactive child unable to sit still in class. It’s a lifelong condition that affects both children and adults, impacting various aspects of daily life. While its core involves impaired(受损的) mental processes like planning, focusing, and multitasking, an equally critical yet less recognized challenge is emotional dysregulation(失调)—the difficulty in managing and relieving one’s emotional responses, which profoundly impacts work, relationships, and self-esteem.
The emotional experience of ADHD is often described as a rollercoaster, characterized by extreme highs and lows that can change rapidly and unpredictably. During the “highs,” individuals may feel an intense surge of energy, creativity, and enthusiasm. They might embark on new projects with uncontrolled optimism, feeling unbeatable and capable of conquering the world. This state of hyper-focus and excitement can be incredibly productive, leading to bursts of creativity and accomplishment.
However, these peaks are often followed by equally intense “lows”. The drop into this emotional low can be sudden and confusing. Feelings of disappointment, frustration, and self-doubt may overwhelm the individual, leading to a sense of paralysis or hopelessness. These lows can be caused by various factors, including perceived failures, criticism, or simply the natural decline of the initial excitement.
The impact of these emotional fluctuations on daily life and relationships can be profound. At work, the highs might lead to bursts of productivity, while the lows can result in missed deadlines and underperformance. In personal relationships, the intensity of emotions can lead to misunderstandings and conflicts. Partners, friends, and family members may struggle to keep up with the rapid mood changes, leading to strain in these relationships.
Understanding what ADHD feels like is an ongoing process, not just for those who have it, but for society as a whole. By fostering greater awareness and empathy(共鸣), we can create a more inclusive and supportive environment for individuals with ADHD to thrive in all aspects of their lives.
32. What is the “rollercoaster” used to illustrate
A. The thrill-seeking nature of ADHD patients.
B. The fast shifts between emotional extremes.
C. The physical restlessness in classroom settings.
D. The medical treatment process for ADHD.
33. What does the underlined word “fluctuations” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Extension. B. Duration. C. Changes. D. Decreases.
34. What does the author advise people to do to help those with ADHD
A. To develop stricter behavioral guidelines.
B. To promote medication as the primary solution.
C. To focus more research on childhood symptoms.
D. To show them more understanding and support.
35. Where is the text probably taken from
A. A personal blog. B. A book review.
C. A Philosophy book. D. A Mental Health website.
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。
One of the best ways to immerse yourself in art as an art lover is to begin by browsing an art gallery. However, whether it is a lack of information on the walls, the overwhelming size of the collections, or the fear that you somehow aren’t “getting” what you are looking at, an art gallery can be potentially less friendly. 36
Selecting an Art Gallery Show
Selecting an exhibition could be as simple as looking in your own neighborhood or getting to know the arts districts you are planning to visit. 37 Once you find some galleries to visit, check out their websites for different shows and exhibitions. Choose a show or two that interests you or that matches what you’re looking for in terms of a collection.
Do Some Pre-visit Research
38 It is always a good idea to read the exhibition description carefully to understand the scope(范围) and scale of the show. You can also do a small amount of research about the show itself if appropriate to equip yourself with more context.
Do a First Walk Through of the Art Gallery Space
Arriving at the gallery, you will want a viewing strategy. Instinctively(本能地), many people move through an exhibition, reading everything in the order presented. However, walking the entire gallery space quickly will give you an overall sense of the exhibition or show. 39
Have a More Focused Walk Through
Do “once around” more time to close in more on the artworks that spark your interest most. This step is perhaps the most satisfying part of any gallery visit. It is a chance to really take in what first appeals to you. 40 You can look and appreciate the colors and form, or read the descriptions and lean into the context of the artwork. What matters is that you find it interesting, eager to learn more about it.
A. How you do this is entirely up to you.
B. You can find different galleries on Google.
C. Its point is to spark your interest in what is being presented.
D. Thorough research enables you to better understand the artist and works.
E. So learning how to navigate an art gallery is a valuable skill for newcomers.
F. This will guarantee you are fully up to date on the gallery’s upcoming events.
G. Another recommendation would be to sign up for the gallery’s email newsletter.

If a bolt’s(螺栓) stuck, don’t force it. Try a different 46 .”

Grandpa had 49 and said gently, “Let’s find another way.” His hands, 50 from years of gardening, led me to fix the chain.
Now, his digital voice 51 me through my art block(瓶颈). When I’d been stressing about every 52 sketch, “Start with a tiny stroke,” the AI suggested. Trembling, I dipped my brush and drew a line—crooked(弯曲的) but honest. 53 , the canvas(画布) seemed less frightening with Grandpa’ s encouragement.
Months later, my exhibition featured “Bike Lessons.” Viewers praised my 54 , unaware of the phone beneath the frame, quietly 55 Grandpa’s wisdom. A child pointed at the painting, asking, “Why’s there a crack in the bike frame ” I smiled, “Because imperfections tell the best stories.”

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。
It was a sunny morning with clear blue skies and a gentle breeze blowing through the trees in the small neighborhood. Jack, a retired firefighter, was tending to his garden, enjoying the peace and quiet. Suddenly, crazy barking and loud shouts broke the silence, snapping him out of his calm. Concerned, he dropped his gardening tools and rushed towards the source of the noise. As he rounded the corner of his house, his heart sank.
There, on the roof of the neighboring house, a little girl was huddled near the edge, crying loudly. Her small hands were clutching the edge of the wall, and her body was trembling with fear. The height was dizzying, and one wrong move could send her falling down. Below her feet, a small kitten struggled in the tangled(缠结的) wires, its pitiful mews(喵喵声) blending with the child’s sobs. On the ground below, a few neighbors had gathered, their faces filled with worry. They called out to the girl, trying to calm her down and guide her toward safety. But the girl was too terrified to move, paralyzed by the height and her panic.
Memories of his years as a firefighter and the countless rescues he’d been a part of flashed through Jack’s mind. He knew he had the skills and the courage to help. In the chaos, someone pulled out their phone to record. The video that would soon go viral showed Jack, his expression calm yet determined, as he quickly assessed the situation. He noticed fresh scratches on the drainpipe where the girl had attempted to climb after her pet. He spotted a ladder leaned up against the side of the house and, without hesitation, started to climb. Inch by inch, he made his way up. In a heart-stopping moment, Jack reached the girl.

My View on Learning English via Short Videos
Recently, watching short videos to learn English has become popular in our school. As a student, I believe this trend is a double-edged sword.
On the one hand, these short videos make learning fun and convenient. They use catchy music, creative visuals, and real-life dialogues, which can spark our interest in English. For example, learning slang phrases through 30-second clips feels less boring than memorizing textbooks. On the other hand, relying only on short videos has risks. Most videos focus on isolated words or phrases without teaching grammar rules or context. This might lead to incomplete knowledge. Also, endless scrolling can waste time and distract us from deeper learning.
So I recommend selecting high-quality educational accounts and limiting daily video time to 15 minutes. Most importantly, combine short videos with textbook review to build a solid foundation. Let’s make the best use of short videos to improve our English.
读后续写
One possible version:
Paragraph 1: Jack’s voice was soft and steady as he whispered calming words to the little girl. “It’s okay, sweetie. I’ve got you. Let’s save your friend together.” Gently, he loosened her small hands from the tiles and folded her in a secure embrace. With swift movements, he used his pocketknife to cut the wires trapping the kitten, placing the trembling animal into his jacket. The girl buried her face in his shoulder and her sobs gradually sank. With great care, he adjusted his grip and started to go down, making sure each step was steady. As they reached the ground, the neighbors rushed forward, their cheers filling the air.
Paragraph2: The girl’s parents arrived moments later, their faces filled with relief and gratitude. They hugged their daughter tightly, tears streaming down their faces. Turning to Jack, they thanked him over and over, their words choked with emotion. Jack, with a warm smile, handed the kitten to the girl and said, “Next time, tell a grown-up first—we have special tools for helping animals.” In the following days, the video of Jack’s heroic act spread around and the local newspaper even ran a feature on him, making him an inspiration for the entire community.
答案详解：
A篇是应用文（志愿者招募公告）本文是一篇动物收容所的志愿者招募启事，旨在呼吁爱心人士参与救助流浪动物。
21. B 细节理解题 根据文章第二段“Founded ten years ago, the animal shelter serves as a place for countless abandoned, injured, and homeless animals, giving them proper care, medical treatment, and a warm, loving environment until they find their forever homes.”可知，动物收容所是为无数被遗弃、受伤和无家可归的动物提供适当照顾、医疗护理以及温暖有爱的环境的地方，直到它们找到永远的家。这说明收容所的主要功能是为动物提供临时照顾，而不是训练动物执行特殊任务（A选项）、为筹款而饲养动物（C选项）或进行动物行为研究（D选项），所以选B。
22. C 细节理解题 文章中提到志愿者的任务包括:“You’ll be responsible for feeding the animals and keeping their living areas clean at regular intervals, including cleaning cages, and ensuring fresh water availability.”（与B选项“定期照顾动物”相符）；“Volunteers can spend time playing with them, petting them, and helping them become more adoptable especially for shy or scared animals.”（志愿者可以花时间和它们玩耍、抚摸它们，这与 A选项“与动物互动”相符）；“You may assist during adoption events by showing potential adopters around, providing animal information and helping with adoption paperwork.”（与D选项相符）。而文章未提及志愿者需要在动物被领养后进行回访，所以C选项不是志愿者的任务，选C。
23. A 意图推断题 文章的核心目的是推广并招募志愿者(“Our local animal shelter is looking for enthusiastic volunteers”)所以选A Recruit volunteers。
B篇是记叙文（人物报道）文章讲述了13岁肯尼亚学生Mirriam Wambui受哥哥影响学习中文，取得优异成绩并激励同龄人学习中文，展现语言学习对跨文化交流和个人发展的意义。
24. B 推理判断题 根据第二段内容可知，是她哥哥在中国的精彩经历，包括哥哥的中文流利程度以及从中国带回的东西，让她对中国产生了好奇，从而激励她学习中文，所以答案是B。A选项“有吸引力的针对中文学习者的奖学金”，以偏概全；C选项“来自老师讲述的学习中文的好处”文中未提及；D选项“渴望赢得汉语桥比赛”，她是在学习中文之后才参加比赛的，不是学习中文的原因。
25. A 细节理解题 从第三段第二三句可以得出她很自信也很努力，相信自己即使一开始没被选上也能成功加入团队并取得好成绩；从最后一段“‘I want to become an ambassador in the future and learn more about Chinese language and culture,’ says Mirriam.”可知她有远大的志向，想成为一名大使并深入学习中国语言和文化，所以她是自信且有抱负的，A选项正确。B选项“有决心且爱国”，文中未体现她爱国；C选项“慷慨且爱冒险”，文中未提及相关内容；D选项“体贴且周到”，文中也未表现出她这方面的特点。
26. A 推理判断题 Mirriam相信自己能加入团队，并且通过自己的努力最终在汉语桥比赛中取得了好成绩，她的成功证明了自信和努力是很重要的，A选项“自信和努力很重要”符合文意。B选项“罗马不是一天建成的”强调的是做事需要时间和耐心；C选项“早起的鸟儿有虫吃”强调的是要早做准备、积极行动；D选项“行动胜于言语”，均与原文不符。所以答案是A。
27. D 主旨归纳题 文章主要讲述了13岁的Mirriam学习中文的经历，她在汉语桥比赛中取得好成绩，并且她的成功激发了她的同龄人学习中文的兴趣，所以D选项“肯尼亚少年汉语桥夺冠激发全国学习热情”最适合作为文章标题。A和C选项以偏概全，B选项中“创新”无明确依据。
C篇是说明文 纽约大学团队研究，揭示“非脑细胞（如身体细胞）具有记忆功能”。通过模拟脑细胞接收化学信号的方式，科学家发现非脑细胞可激活与脑细胞相同的“记忆基因”，并遵循“集中-间隔效应”（间隔重复学习效果更优）。实验中，细胞对间隔化学脉冲反应更强，基因激活时间更长，表明记忆能力或是所有细胞的共性。这一发现挑战传统认知，为研究记忆机制和开发记忆障碍疗法提供新方向。
28. C 主旨归纳题 根据第一段“Nevertheless, a team of scientists has discovered that body cells in other parts of the body can also exhibit memory capabilities.”以及第二段“Learning and memory are usually linked only to brains and brain cells, but our study reveals that other body cells can learn and form memories too.”可知，这项科学研究的主要发现是身体其他部位的细胞也能表现出记忆能力，即具有记忆功能，C选项正确。A选项“脑细胞对于储存记忆是最重要的”与研究发现不符，研究发现其他细胞也有记忆功能；B选项“化学信号对细胞的记忆功能没有影响”，根据第四段内容可知，细胞对化学信号有反应，化学信号会影响细胞的记忆功能；D选项“集中间隔效应只与非脑细胞有关”，文中未提及这种说法，且根据最后一段“The ability to learn from spaced repetition isn’t unique to brain cells”可知，这种能力并非非脑细胞独有。所以答案是C。
29. C 细节理解题 根据第三段内容可知，集中间隔效应是一种学习原则，即通过间隔学习时段比在一次长时间、令人疲惫的学习过程（也就是考前突击）中更有效地记住信息，也就是间隔学习能更好地记住信息，C选项正确。
30. D 结构归纳题 第四五段详细描述了科学家在实验室研究非脑细胞的过程，包括研究的对象、对细胞做的处理、监测的方法以及得到的结果等，所以这两段讨论的是研究的过程，D选项正确。
31. D 推理判断题 根据最后一段Kukushkin说的话“This discovery open a new door for understanding how memory works and could lead to better ways to enhance learning and treat memory problems.”可知，这项发现为理解记忆如何工作打开了一扇新的大门，并且可能会带来更好的方法来提高学习和治疗记忆问题，由此可以推断出研究非脑细胞的记忆可能有助于治疗记忆问题，D选项正确。
D篇是说明文 文章深入探讨了注意力缺陷多动障碍(ADHD)的复杂性，突破其“儿童多动症”的刻板印象。ADHD不仅表现为注意力不集中、计划与执行功能受损，更伴随情绪失调(emotional dysregulation)这一关键但常被忽视的挑战——患者难以管理情绪，这种情绪波动对工作、人际关系及自我价值感造成深远影响。作者呼吁社会通过提高对ADHD情感维度的理解与共情，构建包容、支持性的环境，帮助患者在多层面实现成长。
32. B 推理判断题 根据第二段第一句“The emotional experience of ADHD is often described as a roller coaster, characterized by extreme highs and lows that can change rapidly and unpredictably.”可知，将ADHD患者的情绪体验比作过山车，是因为其情绪会在极度的高涨和低落之间快速且不可预测地转变，所以“roller coaster”是用来描述情绪极端之间的快速转变的，故选B。
33. C 词义猜测题 根据前文内容可知，ADHD患者的情绪有高涨和低落的变化，结合第四段“The impact of these emotional fluctuations on daily life and relationships can be profound.”可知，这里说的是这些情绪的“变化”对日常生活和人际关系的影响很大，所以“fluctuations”意思是“变化”，与changes意思相近，故选C。
34. D 细节理解题 根据最后一段“By fostering greater awareness and empathy(共鸣), we can create a more inclusive and supportive environment for individuals with ADHD to thrive in all aspects of their lives.”可知，作者建议人们通过培养更多的意识和共鸣，为ADHD患者创造一个更包容和支持性的环境，也就是要给予他们更多的理解和支持，故选D。
35. D 文章出处题 文章主要讲述了ADHD（多动症）这种疾病，包括患者的情绪特点以及对生活和人际关系的影响等，是关于心理健康方面的内容，所以最有可能来自一个心理健康网站。故选D。
七选五 这篇文章主要面向艺术爱好者，为他们提供了一系列参观艺术画廊的实用指南。
36. E。 前文提到作为艺术爱好者沉浸于艺术的最佳方式之一是逛艺术画廊，但又指出画廊存在信息不足、藏品过多让人不知所措、让人担心看不懂作品等不友好的情况，E选项“所以对于新手来说，学习如何畅游艺术画廊是一项很有价值的技能”承接上文的问题，引出下文关于如何更好地参观画廊的具体建议，起到承上启下的过渡作用。
37. B。 这一段讲的是如何选择艺术展览，提到了可以从附近的画廊或计划参观的艺术区开始。选项B提到“可以通过Google找到不同的画廊”，与前文提到的“寻找画廊”内容一致，是一个具体的建议。是对前文找画廊途径的具体补充，告诉人们可以利用网络搜索这一便捷方式，符合语境逻辑。
38. D。 此部分强调参观前做研究，前文说要仔细阅读展览描述，D选项“深入的研究可以让你更好地了解艺术家和作品。”进一步说明做研究要从研读资料开始，与前文的阅读展览描述共同构成参观前做准备工作的递进关系，强化了这部分主旨。
39. C。 该部分讲初次快速浏览画廊空间，前文提到本能地按顺序看展览作品，而快速走完整个画廊空间能有整体印象，C选项“其目的是激发你对所展示内容的兴趣”说明了这种快速浏览做法的目的，解释了为何要这样做，使前后逻辑连贯。
40. A。 这部分讲更专注地参观，前文提到要回到感兴趣的艺术品前深入欣赏，A选项“你怎么做完全取决于你自己”，强调参观者可以根据个人喜好和方式去深入欣赏，给予参观者自主选择的空间，与前文的“满足个人兴趣”和“自由选择”内容一致，强调了参观的个性化体验。与前文呼应，符合这一步骤强调自我感受的语境。
完形填空是一篇记叙文，主人公在祖父去世后收到其旧手机，意外发现祖父的AI语音助手保留了生前的叮嘱与智慧。通过回忆儿时祖父教导修自行车时“换方法而非蛮力”的经历，以及AI语音帮助克服艺术创作瓶颈的过程，主人公领悟到祖父传递的价值观（如接纳不完美、灵活应对挑战）是永恒的指引。
41. B 根据后文作者对爷爷手机的描述以及爷爷手机里留下的信息对作者的影响可知，妈妈说这是爷爷的“宝藏(treasure)”，因为里面有爷爷留下的宝贵的东西和回忆。A选项“debt（债务）”；C选项“hobby（爱好）”；D选项“secret（秘密）”均不符合语境，这里强调手机是有价值的东西，所以选B。
42. A 句子提到“it into a dusty charger”“我”将手机插入一个布满灰尘的充电器。“plug into”是固定搭配，表示“插入”。B选项channel（引导）C.选项integrate（整合）D.选项switch（切换）。
43. B 根据后文提到AI助手模仿了爷爷温暖的声音，A选项dialect（方言）C选项signal（信号）D选项whistle（口哨）,“voice”（声音）是最合适的选项。
44. C 根据上下文,“Mom handed me his outdated smartphone”可知作者是从妈妈那里得到爷爷的手机，爷爷留下的信息是给“我”的，而“我”是他的孙子/孙女，因此“grandchild”符合语境。
45. A 后文提到修理自行车的场景，因此“fixing”（修理）是最合适的选项。
46. D 根据前文“Life’s like fixing a bike. If a bolt’s(螺栓) stuck, don’ t force it.”可知，爷爷说如果螺栓卡住了，不要强行弄，要尝试不同的“方法(route)”。A选项“bike（自行车）”；B选项“regulation（规则；规定）”；C 选项“expedition（远征）”，这里强调换一种方式，所以选D。
47. C 根据语境句子描述“我”在修理生锈的链条时遇到了困难，complained of（抱怨） got through（完成） played with（玩耍），C选项“struggled with”（努力应对）符合语境。
48. C 根据前文“When it broke”以及“tears blurring my vision”可知，链条断了，作者很生气，所以把扳手“扔(threw)”到了房间另一边。A选项“grasped（抓住）”；B选项“tipped（倾斜；给小费）”；D选项“crushed（压碎）”，这里强调生气时的动作，所以选C。
49. A 根据语境“Grandpa had 49 and said gently, ‘Let’ s find another way.’”可知，爷爷“介入，干预(stepped in)”并温柔地说。B选项“walked away（走开）”；C选项“tripped over（被……绊倒）”；D选项“charged in（猛冲）”，这里是爷爷介入来帮忙，所以选A。
50. B 根据“from years of gardening”可知，爷爷因为多年园艺工作，手应该是“粗糙的(rough)”。A选项“sweaty（出汗的）”；C选项“clumsy（笨拙的）”；D选项“flexible（灵活的）”，这里强调多年劳作对手的影响，所以选B。
51. D 根据后文“Gradually, the canvas seemed less frightening with Grandpa’s encouragement.”可知，爷爷的数字声音“引导(guided)”作者度过了艺术瓶颈期。A选项“urged（催促）”B选项“transformed（改变）”，C选项“awaited（等待）”，这里是爷爷的声音给予指导，所以选D。
52. C 根据后文“crooked but honest”，这句话是在讲作者画的线条虽然弯曲但是真实，所以作者画的素描应该是不完美的可知，作者画的线是“不完美的(imperfect)”。A选项“abstract（抽象的）”；B选项“vivid（生动的）”；D选项“colorful（多彩的）”，这里强调不完美，imperfect符合语境，所以选C。
53. A. 句子提到在爷爷的鼓励下，画布逐渐变得不那么可怕，B选项Naturally（自然地）C.选项Abruptly（突地）D.选项Deliberately（故意地）A选项“Gradually”（逐渐地）符合语境。
54. A 根据前文提到的“my exhibition featured ‘Bike Lessons’”可知，作者举办画展，所以观众赞扬的应该是作者的技巧，technique符合语境，其余选项courage意为“勇气”，entry意为“入口”，writing意为“写作”均不符合本句语义，可排除。
55. B 根据语境，手机在画框下，应该是默默地“低语(murmuring)”着爷爷的智慧。A选项“ignoring（忽视）”；C选项“erasing（擦除；抹去）”；D选项“celebrating（庆祝）”，这里把手机拟人化，说它低语爷爷的智慧，所以选B。
语法填空向读者介绍“猫税”这一特定的网络文化现象的含义、起源以及在不同用户群体背后的社交互动。56. where 考察定语从句的关系副词的用法，修饰先行词app，在从句中做状语，表示“在这个人们分享日常生活视频、图片和文字的APP上”。
57. updates 考察名词单复数，意为“最新内容”时是可数名词，用update的复数形式updates.
58. The 这里的tax特指上文提到的“cattax”，所以用定冠词The。
59. offered 考查一般过去时。根据上下文可知，此处并列结构，描述的是过去发生的事情，故用一般过去时；
60. revealing 考察非谓语动词，作结果状语，意为“揭示了不同文化间的语言复杂性”。
61. to browse 考察非谓语动词的用法。allow sb to do sth是固定搭配，表示“允许某人做某事”，所以用不定式to browse。
62. to 考察介词。extend to是固定搭配，表示“扩展到”。
63. affordable 考察形容词，affordable修饰名词fees和insurance，表示“负担得起的”。
64. regarded 考查过去分词作后置定语。此处report与regard之间是被动关系，且表示已经被认为的状态，故用过去分词形式作后置定语。
65. efficiently 考察副词，修饰谓语动词。

M: Lord Howe Island has the look of a destination for over tourism, with green mountains, white-sand beaches and clear blue waters full of colorful fish. But on this island of around 400 people, located 372miles off the east coast of mainland Australia, the beaches are empty. The only sounds on a hike through its rainforests and mountains come from the wildlife. The secret to that unaffected landscape is a strategy used in very few other places: limiting the number of tourists. For over 40 years, Lord Howe has set a maximum of 400 tourists at a time by fixing the number of beds available to visitors. This was to protect Lord Howe’s many unique species, which helped the island earn recognition as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1982.More than 85% of the island is still covered in its native forest, and around 70% is in a Permanent Park Preserve, meaning almost all development is prohibited. “The local families that have been here for five, six, seven generations have always recognized how special their lifestyle is here,” said Ian Hutton, a photographer who has lived on the island since 1980. “There is that strong generational feeling of protecting their island.”

NAIROBI—Mirriam Wambui, a 13-year-old student, speaks Chinese with the confidence of a seasoned linguist despite having only two years of exposure to the language. She won the Kenyan Chinese Bridge Competition, ranked sixth in Africa and made it to the top 30 globally at the contest in Tianjin in late October.
“I was overjoyed to win in Kenya,” Mirriam says. Her journey with the Chinese language began through her eldest brother, who traveled to China in 2015 to pursue a master’s degree in Chinese. When he returned to visit their family in Nairobi in 2019, Mirriam was impressed by his fluency in Chinese. “My brother came back with a cellphone I had never seen before, and everything he brought, including electronics, was made in China. I became curious about this country that seemed to produce so much,” she says with a giggle.
Inspired, she enrolled in Chinese language classes two years ago. In May, with only two weeks left, she asked to join the school’s Chinese Bridge team. “My teacher was shocked as I wasn’t initially picked, but I believed in myself and went all out to prepare.” she says.
Her confidence paid off. At Kenyatta University, she wowed judges and won a laptop, trophy(奖杯) and a sponsored China trip. In October, she visited China. “People were so nice,” she says.
Her success inspired peers to learn Chinese. Teacher Charity Atunga says Chinese is the most popular of three options, with 90 of 200 students choosing it. “Support from parents and schools makes it great. Students see benefits like scholarships,” Atunga adds. She herself studied in China on a scholarship and later became a teacher.
Kenyatta University, in partnership with Shandong Normal University, hosts the Chinese Bridge Competition for high school students in Kenya. Through this partnership, over 300 Kenyan students have traveled to China.
“I want to become an ambassador in the future and learn more about Chinese language and culture.” says Mirriam.
24. What inspired Mirriam to learn Chinese
A. Attractive scholarships for Chinese learners.
B. Her brother’s wonderful experience in China.
C. Benefits of Chinese learning from her teacher.
D. Eagerness to win the Chinese Bridge Competition.
25. Which of the following best describes Mirriam
A. Confident and ambitious. B. Determined and patriotic.
C. Generous and adventurous. D. Caring and thoughtful.
26. What can we learn from the text
A. Self-belief and efforts count. B. Rome is not built in one day.
C. The early bird catches the worm. D. Actions speak louder than words.
27. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Scholarships Open Doors to Chinese Education in Kenya.
B. A Kenyan Girl Explores Chinese Culture and Innovation.
C. “Made in China” Inspires Kenyan Teens to Embrace Mandarin.
D. Kenyan Teen’s Chinese Bridge Win Fuels National Learning Passion.

It is widely recognized that the human brain, particularly brain cells, functions as the central storage site responsible for storing memories. Nevertheless, a team of scientists has discovered that cells in other parts of the body can also exhibit memory capabilities. This discovery provides a new perspective for further investigation of memory mechanisms.
Nikolay V. Kukushkin from New York University, the lead author of the study in Nature Communications, explains, “Learning and memory are usually linked only to brains and brain cells, but our study reveals that other body cells can learn and form memories too.”
The research aimed to explore whether non-brain cells assist memory by using the “massed-spaced effect”—a learning principle where information is remembered more effectively through spaced-interval study periods compared to trying to learn everything in one long, exhausting session, better known as cramming(考前突击) for a test.
Scientists studied two types of non-brain human cells in a lab. They exposed these cells to different chemical signal patterns, similar to how brain cells receive neurotransmitter patterns(神经递质模式) during learning. In response, the non-brain cells activated a “memory gene”—identical to that of the brain cells when detecting patterns and restructuring connections for memories.
To monitor the process, the scientists engineered the non-brain cells to produce a glowing protein, which showed when the memory gene was on or off. The results showed that these cells could distinguish repeated chemical pulses (imitating brain neurotransmitter bursts) from simply continuous ones. When the pulses were spaced out, the “memory gene” was turned on more strongly and for longer.
Kukushkin says, “This shows the ‘massed-spaced effect’ in action. The ability to learn from spaced repetition isn’t unique to brain cells; it might be a fundamental property of all cells. This discovery opens a new door for understanding how memory works and could lead to better ways to enhance learning and treat memory problems.”
28. What is the main finding of the scientific research
A. Brain cells are the most important for storing memories.
B. Chemical signals have no impact on cells’ memory function.
C. Cells from other body parts can also have a memory function.
D. The massed-spaced effect is only related to non-brain cells.
29. What is the massed-spaced effect
A. We learn better by cramming all the material at once.
B. Continuous chemical pulses are more effective for memory.
C. Spaced-interval study leads to better memory of information.
D. Non-spaced study sessions ensure stronger memory.
30. What aspect of the research is discussed in Para 4&5
A. Its challenge. B. Its highlight. C. Its conclusion. D. Its procedure.
31. What can we infer from Kukushkin’s statement in the last paragraph
A. The discovery has little relation to human health.
B. There is a long way to go to apply the findings to practice.
C. The massed-spaced effect is not useful for studying memory.
D. Studying non-brain cells’ memory may help treat memory issues.
D
ADHD is a complex disorder that goes far beyond the stereotypical image(刻板印象) of an overactive child unable to sit still in class. It’s a lifelong condition that affects both children and adults, impacting various aspects of daily life. While its core involves impaired(受损的) mental processes like planning, focusing, and multitasking, an equally critical yet less recognized challenge is emotional dysregulation(失调)—the difficulty in managing and relieving one’s emotional responses, which profoundly impacts work, relationships, and self-esteem.
The emotional experience of ADHD is often described as a rollercoaster, characterized by extreme highs and lows that can change rapidly and unpredictably. During the “highs,” individuals may feel an intense surge of energy, creativity, and enthusiasm. They might embark on new projects with uncontrolled optimism, feeling unbeatable and capable of conquering the world. This state of hyper-focus and excitement can be incredibly productive, leading to bursts of creativity and accomplishment.
However, these peaks are often followed by equally intense “lows”. The drop into this emotional low can be sudden and confusing. Feelings of disappointment, frustration, and self-doubt may overwhelm the individual, leading to a sense of paralysis or hopelessness. These lows can be caused by various factors, including perceived failures, criticism, or simply the natural decline of the initial excitement.
The impact of these emotional fluctuations on daily life and relationships can be profound. At work, the highs might lead to bursts of productivity, while the lows can result in missed deadlines and underperformance. In personal relationships, the intensity of emotions can lead to misunderstandings and conflicts. Partners, friends, and family members may struggle to keep up with the rapid mood changes, leading to strain in these relationships.
Understanding what ADHD feels like is an ongoing process, not just for those who have it, but for society as a whole. By fostering greater awareness and empathy(共鸣), we can create a more inclusive and supportive environment for individuals with ADHD to thrive in all aspects of their lives.
32. What is the “rollercoaster” used to illustrate
A. The thrill-seeking nature of ADHD patients.

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。
One of the best ways to immerse yourself in art as an art lover is to begin by browsing an art gallery. However, whether it is a lack of information on the walls, the overwhelming size of the collections, or the fear that you somehow aren’t “getting” what you are looking at, an art gallery can be potentially less friendly. 36
Selecting an Art Gallery Show
Selecting an exhibition could be as simple as looking in your own neighborhood or getting to know the arts districts you are planning to visit. 37 Once you find some galleries to visit, check out their websites for different shows and exhibitions. Choose a show or two that interests you or that matches what you’re looking for in terms of a collection.
Do Some Pre-visit Research
38 It is always a good idea to read the exhibition description carefully to understand the scope(范围) and scale of the show. You can also do a small amount of research about the show itself if appropriate to equip yourself with more context.
Do a First Walk Through of the Art Gallery Space
Arriving at the gallery, you will want a viewing strategy. Instinctively(本能地), many people move through an exhibition, reading everything in the order presented. However, walking the entire gallery space quickly will give you an overall sense of the exhibition or show. 39
Have a More Focused Walk Through
Do “once around” more time to close in more on the artworks that spark your interest most. This step is perhaps the most satisfying part of any gallery visit. It is a chance to really take in what first appeals to you. 40 You can look and appreciate the colors and form, or read the descriptions and lean into the context of the artwork. What matters is that you find it interesting, eager to learn more about it.
A. How you do this is entirely up to you.
B. You can find different galleries on Google.
C. Its point is to spark your interest in what is being presented.
D. Thorough research enables you to better understand the artist and works.
E. So learning how to navigate an art gallery is a valuable skill for newcomers.
F. This will guarantee you are fully up to date on the gallery’s upcoming events.
G. Another recommendation would be to sign up for the gallery’s email newsletter.

That night, curiosity made me 42 it into a dusty charger. The screen flickered to life with a cheerful “Hello!”—Grandpa’s AI assistant, its 43 mimicking(模仿) his warm tone perfectly. Messages flooded in: “7 AM-water the roses.” “Weekly call to Clara-Sundays.” One note stood out: “For my 44 , if you ever feel lost.” I tapped it, and Grandpa’s voice filled the room: “Life’s like 45 a bike. If a bolt’s(螺栓) stuck, don’t force it. Try a different 46 .”
Memories rushed back. At age 10, I’d invaded his cluttered garage, determined to repair my bike alone. Grease(润滑油) marked my palms as I 47 the rusty chain. When it broke, I angrily 48 the wrench(扳手) across the room, tears blurring my vision. Grandpa had 49 and said gently, “Let’s find another way.” His hands, 50 from years of gardening, led me to fix the chain.
Now, his digital voice 51 me through my art block(瓶颈). When I’d been stressing about every 52 sketch, “Start with a tiny stroke,” the AI suggested. Trembling, I dipped my brush and drew a line—crooked(弯曲的) but honest. 53 , the canvas(画布) seemed less frightening with Grandpa’ s encouragement.
Months later, my exhibition featured “Bike Lessons.” Viewers praised my 54 , unaware of the phone beneath the frame, quietly 55 Grandpa’s wisdom. A child pointed at the painting, asking, “Why’s there a crack in the bike frame ” I smiled, “Because imperfections tell the best stories.”

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。
It was a sunny morning with clear blue skies and a gentle breeze blowing through the trees in the small neighborhood. Jack, a retired firefighter, was tending to his garden, enjoying the peace and quiet. Suddenly, crazy barking and loud shouts broke the silence, snapping him out of his calm. Concerned, he dropped his gardening tools and rushed towards the source of the noise. As he rounded the corner of his house, his heart sank.
There, on the roof of the neighboring house, a little girl was huddled near the edge, crying loudly. Her small hands were clutching the edge of the wall, and her body was trembling with fear. The height was dizzying, and one wrong move could send her falling down. Below her feet, a small kitten struggled in the tangled(缠结的) wires, its pitiful mews(喵喵声) blending with the child’s sobs. On the ground below, a few neighbors had gathered, their faces filled with worry. They called out to the girl, trying to calm her down and guide her toward safety. But the girl was too terrified to move, paralyzed by the height and her panic.
Memories of his years as a firefighter and the countless rescues he’d been a part of flashed through Jack’s mind. He knew he had the skills and the courage to help. In the chaos, someone pulled out their phone to record. The video that would soon go viral showed Jack, his expression calm yet determined, as he quickly assessed the situation. He noticed fresh scratches on the drainpipe where the girl had attempted to climb after her pet. He spotted a ladder leaned up against the side of the house and, without hesitation, started to climb. Inch by inch, he made his way up. In a heart-stopping moment, Jack reached the girl.

My View on Learning English via Short Videos
Recently, watching short videos to learn English has become popular in our school. As a student, I believe this trend is a double-edged sword.
On the one hand, these short videos make learning fun and convenient. They use catchy music, creative visuals, and real-life dialogues, which can spark our interest in English. For example, learning slang phrases through 30-second clips feels less boring than memorizing textbooks. On the other hand, relying only on short videos has risks. Most videos focus on isolated words or phrases without teaching grammar rules or context. This might lead to incomplete knowledge. Also, endless scrolling can waste time and distract us from deeper learning.
So I recommend selecting high-quality educational accounts and limiting daily video time to 15 minutes. Most importantly, combine short videos with textbook review to build a solid foundation. Let’s make the best use of short videos to improve our English.
读后续写
One possible version:
Paragraph 1: Jack’s voice was soft and steady as he whispered calming words to the little girl. “It’s okay, sweetie. I’ve got you. Let’s save your friend together.” Gently, he loosened her small hands from the tiles and folded her in a secure embrace. With swift movements, he used his pocketknife to cut the wires trapping the kitten, placing the trembling animal into his jacket. The girl buried her face in his shoulder and her sobs gradually sank. With great care, he adjusted his grip and started to go down, making sure each step was steady. As they reached the ground, the neighbors rushed forward, their cheers filling the air.
Paragraph2: The girl’s parents arrived moments later, their faces filled with relief and gratitude. They hugged their daughter tightly, tears streaming down their faces. Turning to Jack, they thanked him over and over, their words choked with emotion. Jack, with a warm smile, handed the kitten to the girl and said, “Next time, tell a grown-up first—we have special tools for helping animals.” In the following days, the video of Jack’s heroic act spread around and the local newspaper even ran a feature on him, making him an inspiration for the entire community.
答案详解：
A篇是应用文（志愿者招募公告）本文是一篇动物收容所的志愿者招募启事，旨在呼吁爱心人士参与救助流浪动物。
21. B 细节理解题 根据文章第二段“Founded ten years ago, the animal shelter serves as a place for countless abandoned, injured, and homeless animals, giving them proper care, medical treatment, and a warm, loving environment until they find their forever homes.”可知，动物收容所是为无数被遗弃、受伤和无家可归的动物提供适当照顾、医疗护理以及温暖有爱的环境的地方，直到它们找到永远的家。这说明收容所的主要功能是为动物提供临时照顾，而不是训练动物执行特殊任务（A选项）、为筹款而饲养动物（C选项）或进行动物行为研究（D选项），所以选B。
22. C 细节理解题 文章中提到志愿者的任务包括:“You’ll be responsible for feeding the animals and keeping their living areas clean at regular intervals, including cleaning cages, and ensuring fresh water availability.”（与B选项“定期照顾动物”相符）；“Volunteers can spend time playing with them, petting them, and helping them become more adoptable especially for shy or scared animals.”（志愿者可以花时间和它们玩耍、抚摸它们，这与 A选项“与动物互动”相符）；“You may assist during adoption events by showing potential adopters around, providing animal information and helping with adoption paperwork.”（与D选项相符）。而文章未提及志愿者需要在动物被领养后进行回访，所以C选项不是志愿者的任务，选C。
23. A 意图推断题 文章的核心目的是推广并招募志愿者(“Our local animal shelter is looking for enthusiastic volunteers”)所以选A Recruit volunteers。
B篇是记叙文（人物报道）文章讲述了13岁肯尼亚学生Mirriam Wambui受哥哥影响学习中文，取得优异成绩并激励同龄人学习中文，展现语言学习对跨文化交流和个人发展的意义。
24. B 推理判断题 根据第二段内容可知，是她哥哥在中国的精彩经历，包括哥哥的中文流利程度以及从中国带回的东西，让她对中国产生了好奇，从而激励她学习中文，所以答案是B。A选项“有吸引力的针对中文学习者的奖学金”，以偏概全；C选项“来自老师讲述的学习中文的好处”文中未提及；D选项“渴望赢得汉语桥比赛”，她是在学习中文之后才参加比赛的，不是学习中文的原因。
25. A 细节理解题 从第三段第二三句可以得出她很自信也很努力，相信自己即使一开始没被选上也能成功加入团队并取得好成绩；从最后一段“‘I want to become an ambassador in the future and learn more about Chinese language and culture,’ says Mirriam.”可知她有远大的志向，想成为一名大使并深入学习中国语言和文化，所以她是自信且有抱负的，A选项正确。B选项“有决心且爱国”，文中未体现她爱国；C选项“慷慨且爱冒险”，文中未提及相关内容；D选项“体贴且周到”，文中也未表现出她这方面的特点。
26. A 推理判断题 Mirriam相信自己能加入团队，并且通过自己的努力最终在汉语桥比赛中取得了好成绩，她的成功证明了自信和努力是很重要的，A选项“自信和努力很重要”符合文意。B选项“罗马不是一天建成的”强调的是做事需要时间和耐心；C选项“早起的鸟儿有虫吃”强调的是要早做准备、积极行动；D选项“行动胜于言语”，均与原文不符。所以答案是A。
27. D 主旨归纳题 文章主要讲述了13岁的Mirriam学习中文的经历，她在汉语桥比赛中取得好成绩，并且她的成功激发了她的同龄人学习中文的兴趣，所以D选项“肯尼亚少年汉语桥夺冠激发全国学习热情”最适合作为文章标题。A和C选项以偏概全，B选项中“创新”无明确依据。
C篇是说明文 纽约大学团队研究，揭示“非脑细胞（如身体细胞）具有记忆功能”。通过模拟脑细胞接收化学信号的方式，科学家发现非脑细胞可激活与脑细胞相同的“记忆基因”，并遵循“集中-间隔效应”（间隔重复学习效果更优）。实验中，细胞对间隔化学脉冲反应更强，基因激活时间更长，表明记忆能力或是所有细胞的共性。这一发现挑战传统认知，为研究记忆机制和开发记忆障碍疗法提供新方向。
28. C 主旨归纳题 根据第一段“Nevertheless, a team of scientists has discovered that body cells in other parts of the body can also exhibit memory capabilities.”以及第二段“Learning and memory are usually linked only to brains and brain cells, but our study reveals that other body cells can learn and form memories too.”可知，这项科学研究的主要发现是身体其他部位的细胞也能表现出记忆能力，即具有记忆功能，C选项正确。A选项“脑细胞对于储存记忆是最重要的”与研究发现不符，研究发现其他细胞也有记忆功能；B选项“化学信号对细胞的记忆功能没有影响”，根据第四段内容可知，细胞对化学信号有反应，化学信号会影响细胞的记忆功能；D选项“集中间隔效应只与非脑细胞有关”，文中未提及这种说法，且根据最后一段“The ability to learn from spaced repetition isn’t unique to brain cells”可知，这种能力并非非脑细胞独有。所以答案是C。
29. C 细节理解题 根据第三段内容可知，集中间隔效应是一种学习原则，即通过间隔学习时段比在一次长时间、令人疲惫的学习过程（也就是考前突击）中更有效地记住信息，也就是间隔学习能更好地记住信息，C选项正确。
30. D 结构归纳题 第四五段详细描述了科学家在实验室研究非脑细胞的过程，包括研究的对象、对细胞做的处理、监测的方法以及得到的结果等，所以这两段讨论的是研究的过程，D选项正确。
31. D 推理判断题 根据最后一段Kukushkin说的话“This discovery open a new door for understanding how memory works and could lead to better ways to enhance learning and treat memory problems.”可知，这项发现为理解记忆如何工作打开了一扇新的大门，并且可能会带来更好的方法来提高学习和治疗记忆问题，由此可以推断出研究非脑细胞的记忆可能有助于治疗记忆问题，D选项正确。
D篇是说明文 文章深入探讨了注意力缺陷多动障碍(ADHD)的复杂性，突破其“儿童多动症”的刻板印象。ADHD不仅表现为注意力不集中、计划与执行功能受损，更伴随情绪失调(emotional dysregulation)这一关键但常被忽视的挑战——患者难以管理情绪，这种情绪波动对工作、人际关系及自我价值感造成深远影响。作者呼吁社会通过提高对ADHD情感维度的理解与共情，构建包容、支持性的环境，帮助患者在多层面实现成长。
32. B 推理判断题 根据第二段第一句“The emotional experience of ADHD is often described as a roller coaster, characterized by extreme highs and lows that can change rapidly and unpredictably.”可知，将ADHD患者的情绪体验比作过山车，是因为其情绪会在极度的高涨和低落之间快速且不可预测地转变，所以“roller coaster”是用来描述情绪极端之间的快速转变的，故选B。
33. C 词义猜测题 根据前文内容可知，ADHD患者的情绪有高涨和低落的变化，结合第四段“The impact of these emotional fluctuations on daily life and relationships can be profound.”可知，这里说的是这些情绪的“变化”对日常生活和人际关系的影响很大，所以“fluctuations”意思是“变化”，与changes意思相近，故选C。
34. D 细节理解题 根据最后一段“By fostering greater awareness and empathy(共鸣), we can create a more inclusive and supportive environment for individuals with ADHD to thrive in all aspects of their lives.”可知，作者建议人们通过培养更多的意识和共鸣，为ADHD患者创造一个更包容和支持性的环境，也就是要给予他们更多的理解和支持，故选D。
35. D 文章出处题 文章主要讲述了ADHD（多动症）这种疾病，包括患者的情绪特点以及对生活和人际关系的影响等，是关于心理健康方面的内容，所以最有可能来自一个心理健康网站。故选D。
七选五 这篇文章主要面向艺术爱好者，为他们提供了一系列参观艺术画廊的实用指南。
36. E。 前文提到作为艺术爱好者沉浸于艺术的最佳方式之一是逛艺术画廊，但又指出画廊存在信息不足、藏品过多让人不知所措、让人担心看不懂作品等不友好的情况，E选项“所以对于新手来说，学习如何畅游艺术画廊是一项很有价值的技能”承接上文的问题，引出下文关于如何更好地参观画廊的具体建议，起到承上启下的过渡作用。
37. B。 这一段讲的是如何选择艺术展览，提到了可以从附近的画廊或计划参观的艺术区开始。选项B提到“可以通过Google找到不同的画廊”，与前文提到的“寻找画廊”内容一致，是一个具体的建议。是对前文找画廊途径的具体补充，告诉人们可以利用网络搜索这一便捷方式，符合语境逻辑。
38. D。 此部分强调参观前做研究，前文说要仔细阅读展览描述，D选项“深入的研究可以让你更好地了解艺术家和作品。”进一步说明做研究要从研读资料开始，与前文的阅读展览描述共同构成参观前做准备工作的递进关系，强化了这部分主旨。
39. C。 该部分讲初次快速浏览画廊空间，前文提到本能地按顺序看展览作品，而快速走完整个画廊空间能有整体印象，C选项“其目的是激发你对所展示内容的兴趣”说明了这种快速浏览做法的目的，解释了为何要这样做，使前后逻辑连贯。
40. A。 这部分讲更专注地参观，前文提到要回到感兴趣的艺术品前深入欣赏，A选项“你怎么做完全取决于你自己”，强调参观者可以根据个人喜好和方式去深入欣赏，给予参观者自主选择的空间，与前文的“满足个人兴趣”和“自由选择”内容一致，强调了参观的个性化体验。与前文呼应，符合这一步骤强调自我感受的语境。
完形填空是一篇记叙文，主人公在祖父去世后收到其旧手机，意外发现祖父的AI语音助手保留了生前的叮嘱与智慧。通过回忆儿时祖父教导修自行车时“换方法而非蛮力”的经历，以及AI语音帮助克服艺术创作瓶颈的过程，主人公领悟到祖父传递的价值观（如接纳不完美、灵活应对挑战）是永恒的指引。
41. B 根据后文作者对爷爷手机的描述以及爷爷手机里留下的信息对作者的影响可知，妈妈说这是爷爷的“宝藏(treasure)”，因为里面有爷爷留下的宝贵的东西和回忆。A选项“debt（债务）”；C选项“hobby（爱好）”；D选项“secret（秘密）”均不符合语境，这里强调手机是有价值的东西，所以选B。
42. A 句子提到“it into a dusty charger”“我”将手机插入一个布满灰尘的充电器。“plug into”是固定搭配，表示“插入”。B选项channel（引导）C.选项integrate（整合）D.选项switch（切换）。
43. B 根据后文提到AI助手模仿了爷爷温暖的声音，A选项dialect（方言）C选项signal（信号）D选项whistle（口哨）,“voice”（声音）是最合适的选项。
44. C 根据上下文,“Mom handed me his outdated smartphone”可知作者是从妈妈那里得到爷爷的手机，爷爷留下的信息是给“我”的，而“我”是他的孙子/孙女，因此“grandchild”符合语境。
45. A 后文提到修理自行车的场景，因此“fixing”（修理）是最合适的选项。
46. D 根据前文“Life’s like fixing a bike. If a bolt’s(螺栓) stuck, don’ t force it.”可知，爷爷说如果螺栓卡住了，不要强行弄，要尝试不同的“方法(route)”。A选项“bike（自行车）”；B选项“regulation（规则；规定）”；C 选项“expedition（远征）”，这里强调换一种方式，所以选D。
47. C 根据语境句子描述“我”在修理生锈的链条时遇到了困难，complained of（抱怨） got through（完成） played with（玩耍），C选项“struggled with”（努力应对）符合语境。
48. C 根据前文“When it broke”以及“tears blurring my vision”可知，链条断了，作者很生气，所以把扳手“扔(threw)”到了房间另一边。A选项“grasped（抓住）”；B选项“tipped（倾斜；给小费）”；D选项“crushed（压碎）”，这里强调生气时的动作，所以选C。
49. A 根据语境“Grandpa had 49 and said gently, ‘Let’ s find another way.’”可知，爷爷“介入，干预(stepped in)”并温柔地说。B选项“walked away（走开）”；C选项“tripped over（被……绊倒）”；D选项“charged in（猛冲）”，这里是爷爷介入来帮忙，所以选A。
50. B 根据“from years of gardening”可知，爷爷因为多年园艺工作，手应该是“粗糙的(rough)”。A选项“sweaty（出汗的）”；C选项“clumsy（笨拙的）”；D选项“flexible（灵活的）”，这里强调多年劳作对手的影响，所以选B。
51. D 根据后文“Gradually, the canvas seemed less frightening with Grandpa’s encouragement.”可知，爷爷的数字声音“引导(guided)”作者度过了艺术瓶颈期。A选项“urged（催促）”B选项“transformed（改变）”，C选项“awaited（等待）”，这里是爷爷的声音给予指导，所以选D。
52. C 根据后文“crooked but honest”，这句话是在讲作者画的线条虽然弯曲但是真实，所以作者画的素描应该是不完美的可知，作者画的线是“不完美的(imperfect)”。A选项“abstract（抽象的）”；B选项“vivid（生动的）”；D选项“colorful（多彩的）”，这里强调不完美，imperfect符合语境，所以选C。
53. A. 句子提到在爷爷的鼓励下，画布逐渐变得不那么可怕，B选项Naturally（自然地）C.选项Abruptly（突地）D.选项Deliberately（故意地）A选项“Gradually”（逐渐地）符合语境。
54. A 根据前文提到的“my exhibition featured ‘Bike Lessons’”可知，作者举办画展，所以观众赞扬的应该是作者的技巧，technique符合语境，其余选项courage意为“勇气”，entry意为“入口”，writing意为“写作”均不符合本句语义，可排除。
55. B 根据语境，手机在画框下，应该是默默地“低语(murmuring)”着爷爷的智慧。A选项“ignoring（忽视）”；C选项“erasing（擦除；抹去）”；D选项“celebrating（庆祝）”，这里把手机拟人化，说它低语爷爷的智慧，所以选B。

M: Lord Howe Island has the look of a destination for over tourism, with green mountains, white-sand beaches and clear blue waters full of colorful fish. But on this island of around 400 people, located 372miles off the east coast of mainland Australia, the beaches are empty. The only sounds on a hike through its rainforests and mountains come from the wildlife. The secret to that unaffected landscape is a strategy used in very few other places: limiting the number of tourists. For over 40 years, Lord Howe has set a maximum of 400 tourists at a time by fixing the number of beds available to visitors. This was to protect Lord Howe’s many unique species, which helped the island earn recognition as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1982.More than 85% of the island is still covered in its native forest, and around 70% is in a Permanent Park Preserve, meaning almost all development is prohibited. “The local families that have been here for five, six, seven generations have always recognized how special their lifestyle is here,” said Ian Hutton, a photographer who has lived on the island since 1980. “There is that strong generational feeling of protecting their island.”
