【导语】这是一篇应用文。本文主要介绍了四款用于保护孩子在线安全的应用程序，并对比了它们的功能和
价格。
【21题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段第二句“To find out which app is the best to keep your kids safe online, we
tested four apps over five weeks.(为了找出最能保证你的孩子上网安全的应用，我们在五周内测试了四个应
用。)”可知，这篇文章的目标读者是父母。故选B。
【22题详解】细节理解题。根据“Mobicip Premium”部分中的“$8 per month (billed annually at $96) for 20
managed devices at Mobicip(Mobicip的20台托管设备每月8美元（按年计费96美元）)”，“Net Nanny”部分中
的“$90 per year (billed annually) for 20 managed devices at Net Nanny(Net Nanny 的20台托管设备每年90美元
（按年计费）)”，“OurPact Premium+”部分中的“$100 per year (billed annually) for 20 managed devices at
OurPact(在OurPact上管理20台设备，每年支付100美元（按年计费）)”和“Qustodio Premium Small”部分中
的“$55 per year (billed annually) for 20 managed devices at Qustodio(Qustodio 管理的20台设备每年 55美元
（按年计费）)”可知，Qustodio Premium Small对于每年20台托管设备来说是最便宜的。故选A。
【23题详解】细节理解题。根据“Net Nanny”部分中的“The user interface (界面) of this app is family-friendly
and visually engaging, featuring cartoons of parents and casual language.(这个应用程序的用户界面是家庭友好的，

24—27. CAAB
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了科学家Asel Sartbaeva受童年偶像影响，致力于解决疫苗保存难
题并取得突破性成果的成长与科研历程。
【24题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段中“Unfortunately, most vaccines need to be kept cool to stop them from going off. This
makes it difficult to transport them to remote areas, because if they get too warm they won’t work. (遗憾的是，大多
数疫苗需要冷藏以防止going off。这使得将它们运输到偏远地区变得困难，因为如果温度过高，疫苗就会失
去作用)”可知，疫苗需冷藏以防 “失效”。“going off”在此处意为“失效”，与“Failing(失去效力)”语义相
符。故选C。

学科网（北京）股份有限公司【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Growing up, Asel Sartbaeva always looked up to scientists like Michael Faraday and
Marie Curie. When she studied at Cambridge University in England, she met an award-winning physicist called Brian
Josephson. “My jaw dropped,” she said, “It felt like a ‘big thing’ for me to be working in the same place as scientists I
had looked up to for so long.”(从小到大，Asel Sartbaeva一直敬仰Michael Faraday和Marie Curie这样的科学家。
当她在英国剑桥大学学习时，遇到了一位名叫Brian Josephson的获奖物理学家。她说：“我惊讶得合不拢嘴，
能和我敬仰已久的科学家在同一个地方工作，对我来说是件‘大事’)” 可推知，当Sartbaeva在剑桥大学遇到
获奖物理学家Brian Josephson时，她感到非常荣幸。故选A。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“When she got home, she started reading about it online and found that there are places
around the world where vaccines can’t be delivered because they can’t be refrigerated for the whole journey — meaning
some people miss out on getting vaccines. Sartbaeva wanted to invent a way to keep vaccines stable at all temperatures, so
she came up with ensilication.(回到家后，她开始在网上查阅相关信息，发现世界上有些地方无法送达疫苗，因
为疫苗在整个运输过程中无法冷藏——这意味着一些人错过了接种疫苗的机会。Sartbaeva想发明一种能让疫
苗在所有温度下都保持稳定的方法，于是她提出了ensilication的想法)”可知，疫苗储存的局限性（需冷藏才
能运输）启发了她的ensilication的想法。故选A。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“One of these experiments involved sending some vaccines in the post from Bath to
Newcastle. The journey is more than 300 miles, which can take a day or two by post, but the vaccines were still safe to
use when they arrived.(其中一项实验包括将一些疫苗通过邮政从巴斯寄往纽卡斯尔。这段路程超过300英里，
邮寄可能需要一两天时间，但疫苗抵达时仍可安全使用)”可推知，该实验是为了证明ensilication技术能让疫
苗在非冷藏条件下保持稳定，即展示其有效性。故选B。
C
28—31. DACB
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章作者认为工作不应该影响真正的生活，我们要过一种真实的生活。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段第二句“I have tried never to let my profession stand in the way of being a good
parent.”（我一直努力不让我的职业妨碍我成为一个好家长。）可知，作者认为工作不应该影响真正的生活。
故选D。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“Get a life. A real life, not a desire of the next promotion(提升), the bigger paycheck, the
larger house.”（获得一种生活。一种真实的生活，而不是对下一次晋升、更高的薪水、更大的房子的渴望。）
以及第五段第五句和第六句“And what I learned from it is what, today, seems to be the hardest lesson of all: I learned
to love the journey, not the destination. I learned to look at all the good in the world and try to give some of it back
because I believed in it, completely and totally. ”（我从中学到的，在今天看来，似乎是最艰难的一课：我学会
了热爱过程，而不是目的地。我学会了去看世界上所有美好的事物，并试着将其中的一些回报给他人，因为
我完全、完全地相信它。）可知，“It is so easy to exist instead of to live.”的意思是活着很容易，但过真正的生
活却不容易。故选A。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒第二段第三句和第四句“I learned to live many years ago. Something really bad happened to
me, something that changed my life in ways that, if I had my choice, it would never have been changed at all. ”（我很
多年前就学会了生活。一件非常糟糕的事情发生在我身上，它改变了我的生活，如果当时我有选择的话，它
永远不会改变。）可知，通过一次不幸的经历，作者形成了她的人生观。故选C。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“Get a life. A real life, not a desire of the next promotion(提升), the bigger paycheck, the
larger house.”（获得一种生活。一种真实的生活，而不是对下一次晋升、更高的薪水、更大的房子的渴望。）

types.(宾夕法尼亚大学的网络科学家丹妮・巴西特（Dani Bassett）是近期一项关于这些好奇心类型研究的共
同资深作者，她表示：“好奇心实际上是通过将信息片段相互关联来发挥作用的，而不仅仅是获取信息”)

故选D。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“Princeton University psychologist Erik Nook praised the study’s “incredibly large” range.
The authors, he says, brought together knowledge from various fields to reveal deep insights into human behavior.(普

示转折，说明空处应进一步阐述过度思考的负面影响。D选项“Once you start overthinking, it is often hard to

overthinking”与上文衔接，“hard to stop”和“seriously distressing”体现了过度思考的不良后果，符合语境。故

吗？)”是在引导读者识别自己的情绪。E选项“Naming your emotions is one of the most effective measures you
can take(说出你的情绪是你能采取的最有效措施之一)”中的“Naming your emotions”与空前的“ask yourself what
you are feeling”相呼应，且对这一方法进行了总结，符合语境。故选E项。
【38题详解】
本段小标题是“Do Something for Somebody(为某人做些事)”，空前提到“Another thing you can do to help reduce
your negative thoughts is to do something to help someone else.(另一件可以帮助减少消极想法的事情是做一些帮
助别人的事情)”帮助别人，空后举例说明帮助他人的具体行为及其带来的积极影响。C选项“Happiness is
often stored in being of service to others(幸福往往存在于为他人服务之中)”中的“being of service to others”与本
3
学科网（北京）股份有限公司段主题一致，解释了帮助他人能减少消极想法的原因，符合语境。故选C项。
【39题详解】

those negative thoughts is to cease to judge. Try to observe yourself and the world around you from a non-judgmental
position.(然而，停止那些消极想法的关键之一是停止评判。试着从非评判的角度观察自己和周围的世界)”可
知，本段主要讲述的是要停止评判。A选项“Quit Judging(停止评判)”简洁明了，能准确概括本段主题，适合
作本段小标题。故选A项。
【40题详解】
空前“One of the more troublesome aspects of overthinking is the tendency anxious thoughts have to overshadow any
positive thoughts.(过度思考的一个更麻烦的方面是，焦虑的想法往往会掩盖任何积极的想法)”说明过度思考会
让人忽视积极的方面。空后“Making your bed in the morning is enough to count as a success.(早上整理床铺就足
以算作成功)”举例说明了生活中的小成功。F选项“That is why you should start tracing your successes when caught
in negativity(这就是为什么当你陷入消极情绪时，你应该开始追溯自己的成功)”中的“tracing your successes”与
空后的“count as a success”相呼应，且“that is why”承接上文，解释了为什么在消极时要关注成功，符合语境。

应用文范文：
Possible version 1
“War and Peace” is a classic topic. While war destroys lives and spreads disagreement, peace promotes growth and
encourages unity.
The Second World War, with its extensive destruction, teaches me the importance of understanding between nations.
The ruin brought by war serves as a cruel reminder that war is a terrible failure of humanity’s duty to preserve life. The
real stories and vivid memories of survivors leave a lasting impression on me, reminding me to do my part to prevent
such tragedies in the future.
As students, we should remember the horrors of war and cherish the peace we have now. Let’s work collectively
toward cooperation rather than conflict.
Possible version 2
War and peace shape humanity’s destiny. War destroys lives and shatters hope, while peace rebuilds trust and
creates harmony. History has repeatedly shown that violence only deepens wounds, never healing them. A tragic
6
学科网（北京）股份有限公司example is World War II. It caused around 70 million deaths, destroyed countless cities, and left lasting scars. However, it
also inspired global unity, leading to the establishment of the United Nations to prevent future conflicts.
Therefore, let us cherish peace. Every small action matters: rejecting hatred, embracing dialogue, and protecting
the innocent. Together, we can honor history’s lessons and build a future where war exists only in textbooks. Peace
begins with you and me.

Possible version 1
Looking over my shoulder, I stared into the flashing lights of a truck. Peeking through the mounting rain, I struggled
to make out the vague figure over there. It was Joe that shouted and waved violently. “Joe, I’m here!” I wound down
the window, tears of horror mixed with rain streaming down my face. My car began to shake increasingly wildly.
Picturing the road cracked and the car was flooded away, I felt more frightened and sensed death was waiting for me.
“Jump out of the car and ran to me!” Joe yelled and got off the truck, waiting for my action.
I screamed that I couldn’t make it. Yelling at the top of his lung, Joe tried to soothe me and convince me that it was
the best way to escape the danger. I opened the door, reached out my foot, trying to find a proper land point. After
confirming the safety, I inched forward in the muddy water and eventually rushed frantically towards my husband. Joe
also ran in my direction, gathered me into his arms and kept patting my back. Sobbing in relief, I was overwhelmed by
waves of guilt and remorse. I murmured sorry, reflecting that I should have taken his warning seriously.
Possible version 2
Paragraph 1:
Looking over my shoulder, I stared into the flashing lights of a truck. It was Joe! I couldn’t help bursting into tears.
Joe shouted to me not to be frightened. Then he threw a thick rope so that I could hang on to it and walk straight toward
him. I opened the door, grabbed it and inched out. However, a sudden fall left me in the rushing water. I struggled to my
feet, only to find a branch blocking the way right in front of me.
Paragraph 2:
I screamed that I couldn’t make it. Joe, however, remained calm! He urged me to take one step at a time and assured
me I could make it. I moved forward slowly and cautiously before I fell into his arms. Sobbing against his chest, I
apologized that I shouldn’t have taken the shortcut. Joe patted me saying his primary concern was my safety. Only then
did I realize Joe actually understood how to take care of me despite his trouble with the housework.

W: Well, we’ll have a competition to see who can make the highest tower.
M: Great.
W: And they’re learning all the time as well as having fun. For example, one thing they do is design and build a balloon-
powered car.
M: OK, all this sounds fascinating. I wouldn’t mind doing that myself!

学科网（北京）股份有限公司M: Good morning, Kenton Festival box office. How can I help you?
W: Hello, I’m coming to Kenton for vacation next month, and a friend told me there’s a festival. Could you tell me more
about it?
M: The festival begins on the 16th of May and goes on till the 19th. On the first day, there’s the opening of the festival.
People start gathering around 2 o’clock to get a good place, and the events will start at 2:45, and finish at about 5:30.
W: OK, thanks.
M: To begin with, the organizer will give a brief speech at the city theater. Then there’ll be a performance by a band.
After that, a community group will perform a short play. And later, as the sun sets, there’ll be a firework display. You
should go to the park to watch, as you’ll get the best view from there, and the display takes place on the beach.
W: Sounds great. And what’s happening on the other days?

W: Welcome to the Roman baths. My name is Amanda and I’m your guide for today. If you don’t want to carry your
coats and bags around with you, there is a coatroom behind the reception. Also, does anyone want to use the bathroom?
There’s one here in the reception hall, opposite the ticket office. OK, let’s begin our tour. The bath you can see from
here is called the Great Bath, not very imaginative, but it is the biggest. The bath itself is 1.6 meters deep, ideal for
bathing, and has steps leading down to the water on all sides. Let’s move on to the spring. This is in the heart of the site
where the hot water comes from the ground at a temperature of 46℃. The water is rich in minerals and it’s said that it
would cure various illnesses. Next, we will pass through the site of the temple. Here, we are. This temple is one of the
only two known classical Roman temples in Britain. The other is the temple of Claudius at Colchester. This temple is
said to have been built for centuries, and over time, due to serious damage caused by human activities, what you can
see here are just bits of the original temple. Okay, let’s move on.
