二、阅读单选(4题)(本大题共3小题)
Guillermo Galetti sees junk art as a creative way to maximize limited resources. With a tight budget, he searches for deserted materials, turning them into new pieces while promoting sustainability.
Guillermo’s passion for creativity started early. As a child, he earned the nickname “Junk Thief” for collecting deserted materials and turning them into handmade toys in his father’s workshop. Surrounded by creativity and inspired by his father’s generosity, he became a physical education teacher in Patagonia, Argentina.
Guillermo combined his love for blacksmithing (锻造) with teaching by creating metal models that imitate sports movements without using electricity or motors. Guillermo used metalwork to bring sports movements to life, creating sculptures with realistic motion. Each design captures movement in slow motion, giving viewers a deeper look at the mechanics behind every action. His commitment to originality has led to meaningful moments in his work, including one that made a lasting impact.
A mother approached him for help after her son Juan’s 3D-printed prosthetic arm (假肢) proved too fragile for everyday use. Determined to create a stronger alternative, Guillermo took precise measurements and designed a custom fit. He carefully cut, molded, and shaped the material with heat using a durable polyethylene (聚乙烯) plastic bucket, crafting a simple yet functional prosthetic arm. The process was time-consuming. Still, his focus remained on practicality—improving the hand’s movement into a basic pincer (镊子) action.
When Guillermo gave Juan his new prosthetic arm, he was amazed to see the boy immediately using it to pick up and hand him objects. The design worked perfectly on the first try, bringing joy and excitement. Since then, more people have reached out, seeking similar help.
Guillermo remains dedicated to his passion for inventing, constantly working on new designs. “My happiness comes from the simplicity of my creations, driven by three important factors: my ideas, the material, and a sense of purpose,” he said.
4.Why was Guillermo known as “Junk Thief”
A.He excelled in teaching handicrafts class at school.
B.He helped his father repair deserted tools in the workshop.
C.He collected abandoned materials to create handmade toys.
D.He frequently took items from local shops without permission.
5.What was the characteristic of Guillermo’s creations
A.They were made of iron and bronze.
B.They worked depending on electricity.
C.They were created by traditional methods.
D.They were modelled after sport practices.
6.The prosthetic arm Guillermo made for Juan was ________.
A.unique in design B.lasting and practical
C.appealing in appearance D.detailed and time-saving
7.What can we learn from the last paragraph
A.Guillermo turns junk into art for making profits.
B.Guillermo favors complex designs over practical ones.
C.Guillermo values plain and purpose-driven innovations.
D.Guillermo focuses on high-tech solutions for disabilities.
Alongside the crisps in the snack aisle, supermarkets are now stacking shelves with roasted chickpeas, cheese bites, and beef jerky. An array of high-protein alternatives is appearing alongside low-fat and low-sugar foods. Dairy sections are packed with hard-to-pronounce fare such as skyr and kefir. High-protein diets have become mainstream.
On social media, food and fitness influencers recommend protein. Celebrities have made it trendy to look strong, rather than skinny. A trend is close to an obsession. Google searches for “high-protein diet” reached their highest point ever in January. Some 64% of Americans want to increase the amount of protein they eat. In Britain, Ocado, an online supermarket, figures over 40% of consumers have increased their protein intake over the past year. So what explains the constant appetite
Gym enthusiasts have been wolfing down protein for decades. More recently the less strong have also realised that protein can help them build muscle while feeling fuller for longer. Juergen Esser at Danone, a French dairy giant, says hunger for protein first took off among youngsters who want to look muscular. It soon spread to older people eager to stay strong and healthy. The pandemic got people worrying about their health and increased demand.
High-protein products are helping firms expand. Revenues at Danone increased by 4.3% in 2024, driven by high-protein yoghurts and drinks. The question is whether the trend has gone too far. The World Health Organisation recommends 0.83 grams a day per kilogram of body weight. By that measure, the average American or Briton consumes too much.
For food firms already, struggling to meet multiple requirements, it is yet another challenge. Consumers do not only want more protein and less/ultra-processing, but also more plant-based food and anything good for the gut (肠道). The Curators, a British snackmaker, has a balancing act to perform. When the firm began making soya and lentil chips, it settled on ten grams of protein per bag. Recipes with more were not as tasty. And as food crazes come and go, a pleasant flavour may be the most enduring requirement of all.
8.What can we learn about high-protein diets
A.High-protein foods on supermarket shelves are always low in fat and sugar.
B.Their popularity was largely driven by social media and celebrity influence.
C.The majority of Google users are obsessed with adopting high-protein diets.
D.The consumption of high-protein diets in America is higher than that in Britain.
9.How does the author develop the idea in Paragraph 3
A.By presenting a series of statistical data.
B.By tracing the spread of the trend over time.
C.By analyzing the benefits through expert opinions.
D.By comparing the attitudes across different groups.
10.What is the main challenge food companies face in the high-protein market
A.Ensuring that high-protein products satisfy nutritional guidelines.
B.Reducing the costs of protein-rich products to remain competitive.
C.Balancing the dietary preferences and health concerns of consumers.
D.Convincing consumers that high-protein diets are universally healthy.
11.What can be a suitable title for the text
A.Fueling the Future: The Science Behind the Protein Obsession
B.Protein Revolution: Whether Modern Diets Have Gone Too Far
C.The Rise of Protein: How Demand Reshaped Consumer Behavior
D.from Gym to Shelves: A Growing Appetite for High-Protein Diets
Just off the Florida Keys lies the world’s third-largest coral reef (珊瑚礁), which was once an energetic habitat for millions of plants and animals. But an outbreak of stony coral tissue loss disease threatens to destroy 20 of the 45 species found there, including larger reef-building corals.
“This disease that is burning through the Florida Keys is an unbelievable event that is happening,” said Andrew Stamper, conservation science manager at Disney’s Animals, Science and Environment. “It’s like a wildfire.” Stamper said that would endanger Florida’s fishing industry and food supply. “Unfortunately, we do not know exactly what is causing this,” he said.
In order to save the reef, scientists have moved some species hundreds of miles away to a lab in Orlando. Scientists work to simulate breeding (繁殖) conditions in the lab. The conditions are exactly the same as the living conditions of the coral. The work needs a lot of care, effort and attention to detail. LED lights exactly copy the sun and moon cycles. Volunteers feed the coral in water treated to mimic its real habitat.
“This essentially is a gene bank,” said Jim Kinsler, leader of SeaWorld Orlando. “We’re trying to protect the genetics of these corals so that their offspring(后代)can eventually be returned back to the Florida reef area.”
The task of relocating the lab-grown coral to the sea is also a detailed task. Kinsler, who is part of a team of private and public partners operating the Florida Coral Rescue Center, said, “It’s the first time that many of them have been involved in rescuing an entire ecosystem,”
“We think the real challenge is just growing them out to a size, so we can test them in those waters, test their disease resistance (抵抗力), and then breed the successful corals by the hundreds of thousands literally,” said Andrew Walker, president of the Fish & Wildlife Foundation of Florida.
12.What do we know about the Florida Keys
A.It owns the world’s largest coral reef.
B.A disease broke out among people there.
C.The world’s third-largest coral reef is close to it.
D.It is now the habitat of millions of plants and animals.
13.What do Andrew Stamper’s words mean
A.The root of the disease is unclear.
B.A wildfire broke out in the Florida Keys.
C.The disease will spread across the Earth.
D.The disease has caused a great loss to the locals.
14.What does the underlined word “simulate” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A.Copy. B.Contrast. C.Escape. D.Feature.
15.What is the purpose of the research according to Andrew Walker
A.To restore the coral in the lab.
B.To sell the coral in the normal size.
C.To make more people involved in protecting the ecosystem.
D.To produce masses of disease-resistant coral back to the sea.

Are You a Prisoner of Perfection
Do you struggle for a goal that is beyond your reach 16 Are you setting yourself up for failure and shame when you can’t achieve the unachievable Understanding what drives perfectionism is the first step toward releasing this self-created anchor that keeps us stuck.
Shame and fear are often the hidden drivers of perfectionism. We believe that if we can fashion a perfectly polished personality, flash our intelligence, and perfect our humour, then no one can hurt us with criticism and we’ll win respect and approval.
17 Politicians who display a desperate need to be right and refuse to acknowledge mistakes or uncertainty are often driven by a secret shame. They fear that showing vulnerability(弱点) will expose them to the accusation that they’re weak. They stick to a desire to be right, perfect, and polished, even when it’s obvious that the emperor has no clothes.
Perfectionism keeps us leaning toward the future. We’re constantly evaluating ourselves in order to do better. 18 However, if we can’t relax and enjoy lighter moments, then we become prisoners of our perfectionism. We get painfully self-conscious and take ourselves too seriously. Sadly, we deprive(剥夺) ourselves of the simple pleasure of enjoying the moment and being ourselves.
19 We realize that failing at any enterprise doesn’t mean that we are a failure. Without failures, we’ll never learn from our mistakes; we’ll never move forward in our lives. Those who succeed have made countless mistakes. The important thing is to learn from our error, forgive ourselves and move on.
Being human, perfection is impossible. 20 Releasing ourselves from the desire to protect our image, we’re freed to sail gracefully through our successes and failures—and enjoy our precious life.
A.Do you hold an idealized vision that is impossible to realize
B.A cure to perfectionism is to make room for our human shortcomings.
C.Do you fear that others will be horrified by what you judge about yourself
D.The addiction to staying perfect protects us from any sign of being imperfect.
E.There’s nothing wrong with wanting to do our best and self-correcting along the way.
F.People who are addicted to perfection are often isolated, even if they seem outgoing and popular.
G.By accepting ourselves as we are and doing our best, we begin to rid the shame that drives perfectionism.

Praise for Pioneers in Science
In memory of Marie Curie on her birthday on Saturday, the official website of the Nobel Prize posted a photograph of her notebook saying. “Marie Curie died of aplastic anaemia (再生障碍性贫血) on 4 July 1934, a result of years of exposure to radiation through her work. Even today her laboratory notebook from 1899-1902, is 21 and will be for 1.500 years.”
The tales of Marie and other scientists of her time are in some sense very 22 .

However, the 25 effects of radioactivity were not discovered until decades later. Marie and her 26 scientists dealt with radioactive substances for decades using little or no protection. Marie’s death is a reminder about the risks pioneers in science 27 . It was only after people handling radioactive substances began to get similar 28 that medical experts asked people to use protection. Today, medical health workers and patients wear heavy protective 29 during X-rays.
It is almost 30 that those exploring new frontiers for science are exposing themselves to unknown dangers. There is a(n) 31 for better protection for the pioneers, but that is not possible until the dangers are fully known. For example, the space suits astronauts wear 32 them against radiation. However, only 33 will tell if there are some other unknown dangers.
The contributions and sacrifices by such pioneers to the field of science are 34 and deserving of our respect. Because the pioneers not only 35 new frontiers, but also help us better protect ourselves from unknown surroundings.

七、读后续写(本大题共1小题)
47.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。
My wife and I wanted to share our new home with family and friends by hosting a small gathering in the early summer. She had prepared lots of snacks, while my job was to have the backyard in order.
There was plenty of space for the kids to run and play. There was just one thing I hadn’t counted on: My brother chose to bring his dog Toby, a 50-pound ball of fire. Though friendly, he could easily knock over my niece’s small boys and my six-month-old granddaughter. So, when my brother showed up, I asked him to watch Toby and keep him outside.
My plan was working out just fine. Toby was using up his energy by running back and forth in the backyard and giving the kids plenty of room. Unexpectedly, after supper, the weather changed. It started to rain and everyone went indoors.
It was an awkward moment. I didn’t want Toby to be running around in the house, and my brother wasn’t happy with driving home with a wet dog. Eventually, my brother decided to leave rather than force the issue.
A few days passed, and I hadn’t heard anything from my brother. I texted him and expressed wishes for him to come out again. His reply came as a surprise — a shock, actually: “Not a chance.” Clearly, he was unhappy over the way we had parted. After all, I had left him little choice. Well, he’ll get over it, I reasoned.
Two months passed. My wife suggested I get in touch with my brother, but I resisted, thinking he should call first. However, my conscience (良心) kept bothering me. I tried to put myself in my brother’s shoes. He was facing health issues and his wife of thirty-five years had passed away a few months earlier. Toby was his constant companion, the one who kept him going.

五、语篇
【答案】36.involving 37.to 38.is marked 39.its 40.whom 41.less 42.compared 43.limitations 44.the 45.potentially
【分析】本文主要介绍了研究表明,练习太极能够减缓帕金森病的发展,并减少对药物的依赖,但仍需进一步研究来确认练习太极对帕金森病患者的长期好处。
【详解】
36.考查非谓语动词。句意为:最近的一项研究表明,练习太极(一种需要动作缓慢且轻盈的中国武术形式)可能有助于减缓帕金森病的发展,从而随着时间的推移减少对药物的需求。分析句子成分可知,that引导的宾语从句中已有谓语may help,设空处和该谓语之间没有连词连接,故设空处应用非谓语动词;involve与其逻辑主语a form of Chinese martial arts之间是主动关系,应用现在分词形式作后置定语。故填involving。
37.考查介词。句意见上一题解析。lead to为固定搭配,意为“导致,造成”。故填to。
38.考查动词的时态和语态及主谓一致。句意为:帕金森病以行动迟缓、肌肉僵硬和身体颤抖等症状为特征。分析句子成分并结合句意可知,设空处为本句的谓语,此处陈述客观事实,应用一般现在时;主语 Parkinson’s disease与mark之间为被动关系,应用被动语态;且主语Parkinson’s disease不可数,助动词用is。故填is marked。
39.考查代词。句意为:先前的研究表明,太极对帕金森病患者有益,但其长期效果尚不清楚。分析句子成分并结合句意可知,设空处作定语,修饰名词effects,应用形容词性物主代词,表示“它的”。故填its。
40.考查定语从句。句意为:参与者被分为两组,其中147名患者每周练习两次太极,每次一小时,而其余187名患者继续他们的标准护理,不练习太极。分析句子成分可知,此处为“介词+关系代词”引导的非限制性定语从句,先行词participants指人,关系词在从句中作of的宾语,应用关系代词whom。故填whom。
41.考查形容词的比较等级。句意为:结果显示,与不练习太极的那组相比,练习太极的那组患者的疾病发展较慢,对额外医疗护理的需求较少,认知功能、睡眠和生活质量得到改善。分析句子成分并结合句意和slower可知,此处是和另一组进行比较,设空处应填形容词的比较级。故填less。
42.考查非谓语动词。句意见上一题解析。分析句子成分可知,设空处所在的宾语从句中已有谓语experienced,其与设空处之间没有连词连接,故设空处应用非谓语动词;compare与其逻辑主语the T’ai Chi group之间是被动关系,应用过去分词形式作状语。故填compared。
43.考查词性转换和名词单复数。句意为:然而,研究人员承认这项研究有一定的局限性。分析句子成分可知,设空处作acknowledge的宾语,且被形容词certain修饰,应用名词limitation,意为“局限性”,此时为可数名词。结合空后的One of its drawbacks可知,不止一处局限,应用复数形式。故填limitations。
44.考查冠词。句意为:该研究的缺点之一是它属于观察性研究,参与者的数量相对较少。根据句意和空后的is可知,此处表示“参与者的数量”。the number of… 为固定搭配,意为“……的数量”。故填the。
45.考查词性转换。句意为:然而,这项研究表明,太极可能对帕金森病的运动症状和非运动症状都有长期的好处,可能延缓了该疾病的发展。分析句子成分可知,此处修饰动词delaying,作状语,应用副词。故填potentially。
六、应用文写作
46.【答案】Dear Ryan,
I’m Li Hua from Class 3. I think it’s not a good idea to randomly pair up students for the spoken English training after class. The reasons are as follows.
To begin with, randomly pairing up students may lead to unbalanced language abilities within the groups. This can hinder the progress of students as the more advanced one may dominate the conversation, leaving little room for the other students to improve. Besides, students may feel uncomfortable or less motivated if paired with someone who they don’t get along with or have difficulty communicating with.
My suggestion is to group students based on their language abilities or to let students choose their own partners. This way, everyone can feel more comfortable practicing and improving their spoken English together.
Thank you for considering my suggestion.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
【分析】本篇是应用文写作,要求考生给外教写一封邮件,告诉他将学生随机分为两人一组,让大家课后练习口语,你认为这样分组存在问题。
【详解】1. 词汇积累
首先:to begin with → first of all
提高:improve → progress
建议:suggestion → advice
选择:choose → select
2. 句式拓展
简单句变复合句
原句:My suggestion is to group students based on their language abilities or to let students choose their own partners.
拓展句:My suggestion is that we are supposed to group students based on their language abilities or to let students choose their own partners.
七、读后续写
47.【答案】One possible version:
I realized it was me who was at fault. I had been so focused on keeping the party under control that I failed to consider how important Toby was to my brother during this difficult time. My pride had kept me from reaching out, and now months had passed without a proper conversation. One evening, I picked up the phone and left him a voice message, apologizing for my behavior and asking if we could meet. To my relief, he called back the next day, and we agreed to get together soon.
With the biscuits my wife had made, I arrived at my brother’s door. He opened it with a surprised smile, and for a moment, neither of us spoke. Then we hugged — something we hadn’t done since before his wife passed away. We sat on the porch with Toby resting beside us, and I handed him the box of biscuits. “Thank you,” he said quietly. We talked for hours, laughing, remembering old times, and slowly rebuilding what had been lost. As I watched Toby gently rest his head on my brother’s leg, I knew we were finally on the path to healing.
【分析】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了作者因担心弟弟的狗Toby影响聚会,要求弟弟看好狗,后因天气变化导致弟弟提前离开并心生芥蒂。两个月后作者意识到自己的过错,主动带着妻子做的饼干登门道歉,最终兄弟俩和解的故事,展现了亲情中理解与包容的重要性。
【详解】
1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“我意识到是我错了。” 可知,第一段可描写作者反思自己在聚会上只顾控制局面,忽视了Toby对弟弟的重要性,因骄傲迟迟未联系弟弟,最终通过电话留言道歉并约定见面。
②由第二段首句内容“带着妻子做的饼干,我来到了弟弟家门口。”可知,第二段可描写弟弟开门时的惊讶与沉默,兄弟俩拥抱和解,坐在门廊上谈心,看着Toby依偎在弟弟腿边,明白亲情修复的意义。
2.续写线索:反思过错——电话留言道歉——约定见面——带饼干登门——拥抱沉默——谈心和解——领悟亲情
3.词汇激活
行为类
①道歉:apologize/say sorry/make an apology
