The submissions ranged from vivid depictions of bustling school corridors during break times to tranquil scenes of the school garden at sunset. Some paintings captured the intensity of a sports match, while others portrayed the quiet focus in a classroom. The use of color and detail was particularly striking, with each piece telling a unique story of our campus life. Participating in this competition was an enlightening experience. It not only allowed me to express my artistic side but also made me more observant of the beauty on campus. 续写: The man unlocked the passenger door, and Mia quickly climbed inside. The warmth of the car instantly made her feel more comfortable, and she settled into the seat, trying to stop her teeth from chattering. The man, whose name was Tom, introduced himself and asked about her school day. Mia, still a bit nervous, gave short answers at first, but as the car moved smoothly through the streets, she began to relax.Tom was easy to talk to, and soon, Mia found herself telling him about her struggles with school and the pressures she felt to succeed. Tom listened carefully, offering her encouragement and advice. “You‟re doing your best, and that‟s all anyone can ask for. Don‟t be too hard on yourself,” he said, his voice warm and understanding. Before she knew it, they had reached the next bus stop. The man turned to her with a friendly smile. “Here you go,” he said. “I hope the bus arrives soon.” Mia opened the door and stepped out, her feet hitting the wet pavement. “Thank you again,” she called over her shoulder as the man waved from the car. She watched him drive off, feeling a strange sense of warmth in the midst of the gloomy weather. The rain was still pouring down, but somehow, the world felt a little brighter. She glanced at her phone again, and to her surprise, the bus was now only a few minutes away. She pulled her jacket tighter, waiting patiently. 答案详解 阅读理解A 21. 细节理解题。根据文章中“Take a Cooking Vacation”部分提到的“there are trips to local markets to source ingredients before learning how to cook the specialties of the region you visit”,可知烹饪假期的关键特点是学习如何烹饪当地特色菜肴,故选D。 22. 细节理解题。根据“Learn How to Climb Rocks”部分中的“The courses that are designed to teach self-reliance along with new skills run for one to two weeks”,可知攀岩课程持续时间为1到2周,即7-14天,故选A。 23. 细节理解题。根据“Immerse Yourself in History”部分的“You must be at least 18 and physically fit”可知,参加挖掘工作的志 愿者必须年满18岁且身体健康,故选A。 1 {#{QQABDYa4gwgYgFQACawbEwEACwsQkIEQLQoOAVCcuA4CwRFABAA=}#}阅读理解B 这是一篇记叙文,文章主要介绍了新泽西州南部一个非营利性的动物收容所。 24. 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Every animal here is a rescue — abused, abandoned, disabled — and Zaleski has healed and protected more than 600 animals over the last 20 years, from retired racehorses to raucous roosters.(这里的每只动物都是救援对象 ——被虐待的、被遗弃的、残疾的——在过去的20年里,Zaleski治愈并保护了600多只动物,从退役的赛马到喧闹的公鸡)” 可知,Funny Farm里的动物都需要帮助。故选A。 25. 细节理解题。根据第三段中“When you walk through the gates, you can feel the inner peace and harmony, because they all get along here.(当你穿过大门,你可以感受到内心的平静与和谐,因为它们在这里和谐相处)”可知,走进Funny Farm会感受到平 静与和谐。故选B。 26. 细节理解题。根据第四段中“but as friendships go, this bond between Emily the emu(鸸鹋) and a goose named Airplane (because of her wounded wings) is pretty jaw-dropping.(但就友谊而言,鸸鹋Emily和一只名叫Airplane的鹅(因为她的翅膀受伤 了)之间的友谊非常令人瞠目结舌)”可知,Airplane的翅膀受伤了。故选D。 27. 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Even with an animal that‟s blind, another animal may kind of turn into a seeing-eye dog and protect that animal, and show where the food is, and just be the bodyguard, be the helper.(即使是一只失明的动物,另一只动物可能 会变成导盲犬,保护这只动物,告诉它食物在哪里,就像一个保镖,一个帮手)”可知,Funny Farm里面的动物通过彼此社交 而相处。故选C。 阅读理解C 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了Sol Escobar创立的企业Give Your Best为难民提供免费的衣服,并在捐赠者和难民之间建立 了亲密的人际关系。 28. 推理判断题。根第二段“After four years, Kemi was given refugee status and secured her first job interview — unsurprisingly, she had nothing to wear. However, she was referred to a small social enterprise called Give Your Best, which asked her her size and what kind of clothes she liked. „And they gave me three beautiful shirts. Those clothes were like gold to me. They asked me what I actually wanted. That makes you feel valued.‟(四年后,Kemi获得了难民身份,并获得了她的第一次工作面试——不出所料, 她没有衣服穿。但是,她被介绍到一家名为Give Your Best的小型社会企业,该企业询问她的尺码和喜欢什么样的衣服。“他 们给了我三件漂亮的衬衫。那些衣服对我来说就像金子一样珍贵。他们问我到底想要什么。这会让你觉得自己受到重视。”)” 可知,Give Your Best让像Kemi一样的难民可以根据自己的尺码和喜好选择衣服,这种做法给予了难民以选择的尊严。故 选C项。 29. 主旨大意题。根据第三段“The initiative was launched by Sol Escobar, who had spent several years volunteering at refugee camps in northern France. A friend put her in contact with a household of refugee women who couldn‟t access any clothing. Escobar realised she had some clothes she could donate, and appealed to her friends and networks for help. She was flooded with offers, but didn‟t want to overload the women with potentially improper clothing. „So I thought, if I take photos of all of these items and put them on an Instagram page, they can all choose the things that they actually want.‟(这项倡议是由索尔·埃斯科瓦尔发起的,他曾在 法国北部的难民营做过几年志愿者。一个朋友帮她联系了一户没有衣服穿的难民妇女。埃斯科巴意识到她有衣服可以捐赠, 于是她向朋友和网络寻求帮助。她收到了大量的捐赠,但她不想因为可能不合适的服装而让这些女性负担过重。“所以我想, 如果我把所有这些东西都拍下来,放到Instagram主页上,他们就可以选择自己真正想要的东西了。”)”可推知,本段主要讲 是的企业Give Your Best是如何创立的。故选D项。 30. 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Eighteen months later, Give Your Best has processed almost 11,000 items of clothing, and has more than 800 refugee women approved to “shop” for free on its virtual shopfront.(8个月后,Give Your Best已经处理了近1.1万 2 {#{QQABDYa4gwgYgFQACawbEwEACwsQkIEQLQoOAVCcuA4CwRFABAA=}#}件衣服,并有800多名难民妇女获准在其虚拟店面免费“购物”)”可推知,企业Give Your Best深受欢迎。故选A项。 31. 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“As well as giving choice to its users and minimizing fashion waste, Escobar says one consequence has been the small but intimate (亲密的) connections established between donor and shopper.(埃斯科瓦尔说,除了为 用户提供选择并最大限度地减少时尚浪费之外,另一个结果是在捐赠者和购物者之间建立了微小但亲密的联系)”可知,企业 Give Your Best让捐赠者和接受者建立了亲密的人际关系。故选C项。 阅读理解D 本文是一篇说明文,介绍疫情过后,澳大利亚的水果市场面临缺少采摘工,为了解决这一问题,研究人员发明了采摘苹果的 机器人。 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了科学家受仙人掌启发,研发出了可以在干旱地区收集露水的金属结构,为干燥地区提供清洁 水源。 32. 词句猜测题。根据第一段“Weallknow cacti (仙人掌) store water-but to surive, they also adjust their flower positions to gain more sunlight or shade, andso much more. Scientists have been copying the resilient plants‟ methods to help engineer our future. (我 们都知道仙人掌能储存水分,但为了生存,它们还会调整花朵的位置以获得更多阳光或阴凉,诸如此类还有很多。科学家们 一直在模仿这些resilient的植物的方法,以帮助设计我们的未来)”可知,划线词修饰的plants指代Weallknow cacti (仙人掌), 这种植物能在干旱的沙漠中生存下来,所以推断resilient的意思是“能在困难环境中生存下来的”。故选D。 33. 细节理解题。根据第三段“Documented by many scientists, Copiapoas probably survive by “drinking” the salty fog that sweeps in from the sea every morning, as well as the dew — tiny bits of water — that forms on their spines (尖刺) and skin. This has inspired researcher Tegwen Malik from Swansea University to think about whether the dew-collecting process might be reproduced in metal structures. (许多科学家记录到,Copiapoas可能通过“饮用”每天早晨从海上席卷而来的咸雾,以及在其尖刺和皮肤上 形成的露水——微小的水滴——来生存。这启发了来自斯旺西大学的研究者Tegwen Malik思考露水收集过程是否可以在金 属结构中重现)”可知,是仙人掌收集水分的机制启发了Tegwen Malik去研究它。故选B。 34. 推理判断题。根据第五段中“Starting in 2013, she set out to re-create that structure by engineering a flat metal reproduction of the stems and spines of the Copiapoa, which she began testing under a series of different temperatures and humidities. (从2013年开 始,她开始通过制作Copiapoa茎和刺的平面金属复制品来重现这种结构,并在一系列不同的温度和湿度下开始测试)”以及“In 2023, Malik published a study showing that the irregular surface was 8 percent more efficient at harvesting dew than a flat sheet used as a baseline. (2023年,Malik发表了一项研究,研究表明,这种不规则表面收集露水的效率比用作基准的平面高8%)”可知, Malik关于Copiapoa的实验重点是测试它的金属复制品是否有效。故选B。 35. 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Malik imagines desert homes with water-collecting features to provide clean water in dry regions. (Malik设想沙漠中的房屋有集水功能,为干旱地区提供清洁水源)”可知,Malik的金属结构可能被应用于确保干旱地 区的水供应。故选A。 七选五 详解: 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了如何学会有意识地生活。 36. 根据上文“Conscious (有意识的) living is not just a trend.(有意识的生活不仅仅是一种时尚)”中“not just”可知,有意识的生 活不仅仅是一种时尚,因此下文会更一进定义有意识的生活,D“It is a healthy choice that enables you to be happy.(它是一种健 康的选择,能让你快乐)”提出有意识的生活还能带来快乐,与上文构成递进关系,句中代词it指代上文中“Conscious (有意识 的) living”。故选D项。 37. 上文“Time is the most precious thing because there is no way to live a moment again.(时间是最宝贵的东西,因为没有办法让 3 {#{QQABDYa4gwgYgFQACawbEwEACwsQkIEQLQoOAVCcuA4CwRFABAA=}#}一个瞬间重来)”分析了时间宝贵的原因,F项“The way you spend your time determines the course of your life.(你如何利用时间, 决定了你的人生轨迹)”承接上文,说明利用时间对人生的重意义,照应本段主题“Be conscious about your time.(要意识到你的 时间)”,上下文语意连贯一致。故选F项。 38. 设空处是本段标题,根据下文“You cannot achieve them unless you understand your needs and intentions. It is easier said than done because most people fail to make an effort to know themselves. Spend time thinking over and knowing your strengths and weaknesses. Once you know yourself better, you can create a plan to work towards becoming more patient, honest, and forgiving.(除 非你了解自己的需求和意图,否则你无法实现这些目标。这说起来容易做起来难,因为大多数人都没有努力去了解自己。花 点时间思考并了解自己的优点和缺点。一旦你更了解自己,你就可以制定一个计划,让自己变得更有耐心、诚实和宽容)” 可知,本段主要讲要去了解自己,所以A项“Know yourself better.(更好地了解自己)”是最佳标题。故选A项。 39. 上文“Writing a gratitude journal is a good start for counting your blessings. (写感恩日记是一个计算你所拥有的幸福的良好 开端)”提出用写日记的方式来学会感恩,E项“Pick it as a daily habit, and you will notice the difference.(把它作为一种日常习惯, 你会发现其中的不同)”承接上文,建议让写感恩日记变成一种习惯,上下文语意连贯;句中it指代上文中“Writing a gratitude journal”。故选E项。 40. 根据小标题“Believe in yourself.(相信自己)”可知,本段主要讲相信自己,即建立自信,G项“The best way to build self-belief is by reflecting on your own thoughts.(建立自信的最好方法是反思自己的想法)”提出方法,上下语意连贯。故选G项。 第三部分语言运用 第一节 这篇文章叙述了作者作为教师的一次课堂经历,展示了教师在与学生相处过程中如何学习到了重要的沟通和使用语言的技巧。 41. C. discussion(讨论) 根据上下文可知,学生们是在讨论如何将文字比作工具,其他选项如“preparation”(准备)、 “competition”(竞赛)和“celebration”(庆祝)与语境不符。 42. B. destroy(摧毁) 句子对比了文字的两种作用,既可以“构建”,也可以“摧毁”,因此选“destroy”最合适。 43. D. grasp(领会) 学生们“领会”了这个概念,作者感到自豪。其他选项如“question”(质疑)、“ignore”(忽略)和“avoid”(避免) 不符合语境。 44. A. refusing(拒绝) Laura拒绝与她的小组合作,因此选“refusing”最为恰当。 45. C. angrily(生气地) 根据上下文的“stormed out”(冲了出去)可以判断,她是生气地离开的,因此选“angrily”。 46. B. behaviour(行为) “行为”最符合语境,因为Laura的行为让作者感到不满。 47. D. sharp(尖锐的) 根据下文Laura的回应“你在用你的话语对付我”,可以推测作者的语气是尖锐的。 48. A. tool(工具) 这里的“tool”指的是“语言”,与文章开头学生们讨论文字是工具的主题相呼应。 49. C. response(回应) 作者意识到,选择正确的“回应”非常重要。 50. A. admitted(承认) 作者承认了自己的错误,因此选“admitted”。 51. D. sincerity(真诚) Laura的回应非常真诚,打动了作者。 52. B. apologize(道歉) Laura也为自己的行为道歉。 53. A. penned(写下) “penned”意为“写下”,符合语境。 54. B. power(力量) 文章讨论的是语言的力量,因此选“power”最为合适。 55. D. reminder(提醒) 这把钥匙提醒了作者从学生那里学到的这堂课。 第二节 这篇短文介绍了“打铁花”作为一种民间文化表演艺术的历史和文化价值。 4 {#{QQABDYa4gwgYgFQACawbEwEACwsQkIEQLQoOAVCcuA4CwRFABAA=}#}详解: 56. (perform) → performance 表演技能,此处需用名词形式performance 57. (grow) → growing 用动词的分词做状语 58. (most) → mostly 形容词变副词 59. (regard) → is regarded 谓语的被动 60. (burn) → being burnt/burned 介词后动名词的被动 61. (throw) → to be thrown 铁花的形状似乎被抛向四面八方 62. (mass) → masses the masses表示群众 63. → for 祈求,需填入介词for 64. → an 考察不定冠词 65. → and 增强民族自豪感,毫无疑问,增强民族团结,故此处用连词and 写作评分标准: 第一节: 本题总分为15分, 按五个档次进行评分。 1. 评分时, 应主要从内容组织、词汇语法和篇章结构三个方面考虑, 具体为: ⑴对内容要点的覆盖情况以及表述的清楚程度和合理性; ⑵使用词汇和语法结构的准确性、恰当性和多样性; ⑶上下文的衔接和全文的连贯性。 2. 评分时, 先根据作答的整体情况初步确定其所属档次,然后以该档次的要求来综合衡量, 确定或调整档次, 最后给分。 3. 评分时还应注意: ⑴词数少于60酌情扣分。 ⑵单词拼写和标点符号是写作规范的重要方面, 评分时应视其对交际的影响程度予以考虑。英、美拼写及词汇用法均可接受。 第二节: 一、评分原则 1. 本题总分为 25 分, 按 5个档次给分。 2. 评分时, 先根据所续写短文的内容和语言初步确定其所属档次, 然后以该档次的要求来衡量、确定或调整档次, 最后给分。 3. 词数少于120酌情扣分。 4. 评分时, 应主要从以下三个方面考虑: ⑴与所给短文及段落开头语的衔接程度; ⑵内容的丰富性和;应用语法结构和词汇的丰富性和准确性; ⑶上下文的连贯性。 5. 拼写与标点符号是语言准确性的一个重要方面, 评分时, 应视其对交际的影响程度予以考虑。 6. 如书写较差以致影响交际, 可将分数降低一个档次。 二、各档次的给分范围和要求 档 次 描 述 —与所给短文融洽度高, 与所提供各段落开头语衔接合理。 第五档 —内容丰富, 所使用语法结构和词汇丰富、准确, 可能有些许错误, 但完全不影响意 5 {#{QQABDYa4gwgYgFQACawbEwEACwsQkIEQLQoOAVCcuA4CwRFABAA=}#}(21-25) 义表达。 —有效地使用了语句间的连接成分, 使所续写短文结构紧凑。 —与所给短文融洽度较高, 与所提供各段落开头语衔接较为合理。 —内容比较丰富, 所使用语法结构和词汇较为丰富、准确, 可能有些许错误, 但不会 第四档 影响意义表达。 (16-20) 一比较有效地使用了语句间的连接成分, 使所续写短文结构紧凑。 —与所给短文关系较为密切, 与所提供各段落开头语有一定程度的衔接。 —写出了若干有关内容, 应用的语法结构和词汇能满足任务的要求, 虽有一些错误, 第三档 但不影响意义表达。 (11-15) 一应用简单的语句间连接成分, 使全文内容连贯。 —与所给短文有一定的关系, 与所提供各段落开头语有一定程度的衔接。 —写出了一些有关内容, 语法结构单调, 词汇项目有限, 有些语法结构和词汇方面 第二档 的错误, 影响了意义的表达。 (6-10) —较少使用语句间的连接成分, 全文内容缺少内容连贯。 —与所提供短文和开头语的衔接较差。 —产出内容太少, 语法结构单调, 词汇项目很有限, 有较多语法结构和词汇方面的 第一档 错误, 严重影响了意义的表达。 (1-5) —缺乏语句间的连接成分, 全文内容不连贯。 白卷、内容太少无法评判或所写内容与所提供内容无关。或者有抄袭阅读、续写原 0 分 文等现象。 听力原文: Text 1 W: Bill, can you help me in the garden at the weekend?
