M：Thanks for the wonderful weekend，Kate.
W：That's okay.Bob and I are glad you came to see us.
M：Oh，I have to go in.My flight will take off soon.Do contact me when you're in Sydney.
W：Sure，we will.
Text 2
W：Paul，listen to the radio.It's You've Stolen My Heart，one of the songs played at our
wedding.
M：Yeah，how beautiful! It's been popular for almost two decades.
Text 3
W：David，forget about Mark.His aunt is in town，so he can't go with us today.M：Oh，what a pity! It's the last day of the art show.
Text 4
W：How may I help you?
M：I bought a desk and asked for it to be delivered to my house this Friday.
W：Yes，what's the problem?
M：I need to have it delivered this Saturday.
Text 5
W：Next，please.
M：Oh，hi，I missed my 9 o'clock train to Bedford.Do I have to buy another ticket?
W：No.The next train leaves at a quarter to ten at Platform 11.
M：Thank you.
Text 6
W：Honey，have you checked today's weather forecast?
M：Yes，it's cold and wet.There is a warning for strong winds up to 100 kilometers per hour.
W：What are we going to do then?
M：Nothing much.Just stay indoors.There is a risk of falling trees and power lines.
W：Right.
M：And the low temperatures could bring snow to the forest area.
W：I hope it's over quickly.
M：Well，it won't get better until late Wednesday.Anyway，I have to move the car away from
the trees.
W：Yeah，you cannot be too careful.
Text 7
W：Hello，Dave.This is Kathy from Sunny California.
M：Hi，Kathy.You finally called.How was the move? All settled in?
W：Sorry，I hadn't called sooner，but it's been a busy month.We're slowly getting things set up
in our new home.
M：Yeah，I understand.How are Jeff and the children?
W：Jeff is doing well with his new job.Tom has made many new friends here and has a lot to
do.Fiona is fine，though she misses her grandma.By the way，thank you for looking in on my
mother from time to time.I call her every week，but it isn't the same as seeing her.
M：No problem.Betty and I are friends now.How is the weather there?
W：It's nice and warm，and we are able to spend some time every week on the beach with the
children.
M：That's great.
Text 8
W：Jack，how did you get to school when you were in primary school?M：I lived close to my school，so I walked every day.Why?
W：Well，I remember that when we were kids，we often walked，rode a bike or caught the bus
to school.Few of us were dropped off at the school gate by our parents.
M：I see what you mean.These days you can see traffic jams around schools at drop-off and pick-
up times，but it's hard to blame the parents.They have good reasons for driving their kids to
school，mostly to do with safety and convenience.
W：You have a point there，but it could also mean children are missing out on much needed
exercise and other life skills.Some parents are just being over-protective with their children
learning nothing，but living in fear of everything.Studies have found that children who spend more
time outside tend to be healthier，better adjusted and better at dealing with stress.
Text 9
M：So Marie，your kitchen garden looks excellent.What made you turn to social media to record
your vegetable growing?
W：Initially，I used the online platform as a diary，something to look back on，giving me a
sense of achievement and keeping me motivated and moving forward.As time went by，other
gardeners and like-minded people began to follow my progress，too.
M：I know you grow lots of fruit on your land.Which would you recommend to beginners as the
best to grow?
W：Strawberries would be a good choice.They produce a lot of fruit in their first season.
M：That's cool.Well，do you have plans to try new or any particular crops next year?
W：Next season I will be adding some pear trees to the fruit area.I will be adding more herbs
which I can use in the kitchen.And after a couple of years of failure，I will try growing carrots
again.
M：What advice would you offer someone thinking of doing kitchen gardening?
W：Have a plan of what you want your kitchen garden to look like.Don't be too discouraged if
things don't go according to plan.Learn from your mistakes and move on.There's always next
season.

“I am not crazy，” says Dr.William Farber，shortly after performing acupuncture(针灸)
on a rabbit.“I am ahead of my time.” If he seems a little defensive，it might be because even
some of his co-workers occasionally laugh at his unusual methods.But Farber is certain he'll have
the last laugh.He's one of a small but growing number of American veterinarians(兽医) now
practicing “holistic” medicine—combining traditional Western treatments with acupuncture，
chiropractic(按摩疗法) and herbal medicine.
Farber，a graduate of Colorado State University ，started out as a more conventional
veterinarian.He became interested in alternative treatments 20 years ago when he suffered from
terrible back pain.He tried muscle-relaxing drugs but found little relief.Then he tried acupuncture，
an ancient Chinese practice，and was amazed that he improved after two or three treatments.What
worked on a veterinarian seemed likely to work on his patients.So，after studying the techniques
for a couple of years，he began offering them to pets.
Leigh Tindale's dog Charlie had a serious heart condition.After Charlie had a heart attack，
Tindale says，she was prepared to put him to sleep，but Farber's treatments eased her dog's
suffering so much that she was able to keep him alive for an additional five months.And Priscilla
Dewing reports that her horse，Nappy，“moves more easily and rides more comfortably” after
a chiropractic adjustment.
Farber is certain that the holistic approach will grow more popular with time，and if the past
is any indication，he may be right：Since 1982，membership in the American Holistic VeterinaryMedical Association has grown from 30 to over 700.“Sometimes it surprises me that it works so
well，” he says.“I will do anything to help an animal.That's my job.”
语篇解读 本文是记叙文，较易。文章讲述兽医威廉·法伯William Farber博士在从针灸中
受益后，将中西医结合的整体医疗应用于动物，并取得了初步成效。
24．What do some of Farber's co-workers think of him?
A．He's odd. B．He's strict.
C．He's brave. D．He's rude.
答案 A
解析 观点态度题。根据第一段开头“I am not crazy”以及下文“If he seems a little
defensive，it might be because even some of his co-workers occasionally laugh at his unusual
methods.”可知，法伯的同事们有时会嘲笑他不寻常的方法，即认为他很奇怪。故选A。
25．Why did Farber decide to try acupuncture on pets?
A．He was trained in it at university.
B．He was inspired by another veterinarian.
C．He benefited from it as a patient.
D．He wanted to save money for pet owners.
答案 C
解析 细节理解题。根据第二段的“...when he suffered from terrible back pain...Then he tried
acupuncture...he improved after two or three treatments. What worked on a veterinarian seemed
likely to work on his patients.”可知，法伯自己在遭受严重背痛时尝试了针灸，并取得很好的
治疗效果。他受此启发，将此疗法应用于宠物。故选C。
26．What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A．Steps of a chiropractic treatment.
B．The complexity of veterinarians' work.
C．Examples of rare animal diseases.
D．The effectiveness of holistic medicine.
答案 D
解析 段落大意题。根据第三段第二、三句“...but Farber's treatments eased her dog's
suffering so much that she was able to keep him alive for an additional five months...her horse，
Nappy，‘moves more easily and rides more comfortably’ after a chiropractic adjustment.”可
知，本段主要通过两个具体的治疗案例说明整体医学的有效性。故选D。
27．Why does the author mention the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association?
A．To prove Farber's point.
B．To emphasize its importance.
C．To praise veterinarians.D．To advocate animal protection.
答案 A
解析 推理判断题。最后一段第一句“Farber is certain that the holistic approach will grow
more popular with time”提出法伯的观点，他认为整体医学会越来越受欢迎，随后作者列举
了美国综合兽医协会的会员已经从 30个增加到700多个的例子来证明法伯的观点。故选
A。
C
Is comprehension the same whether a person reads a text onscreen or on paper? And are
listening to and viewing content as effective as reading the written word when covering the same
material? The answers to both questions are often “no”．The reasons relate to a variety of
factors，including reduced concentration，an entertainment mindset(心态) and a tendency to
multitask while consuming digital content.
When reading texts of several hundred words or more，learning is generally more successful
when it's on paper than onscreen.A large amount of research confirms this finding.The benefits of
print reading particularly shine_through when experimenters move from posing simple tasks—like
identifying the main idea in a reading passage—to ones that require mental abstraction—such as
drawing inferences from a text.
The differences between print and digital reading results are partly related to paper's physical
properties.With paper，there is a literal laying on of hands，along with the visual geography of
distinct pages.People often link their memory of what they've read to how far into the book it was
or where it was on the page.
But equally important is the mental aspect.Reading researchers have proposed a theory called
“shallowing hypothesis(假说)”．According to this theory，people approach digital texts with a
mindset suited to social media，which are often not so serious，and devote less mental effort than
when they are reading print.
Audio(音频) and video can feel more engaging than text，and so university teachers
increasingly turn to these technologies—say，assigning an online talk instead of an article by the
same person.However，psychologists have demonstrated that when adults read news stories，they
remember more of the content than if they listen to or view identical pieces.
Digital texts ，audio and video all have educational roles ，especially when providing
resources not available in print.However ，for maximizing learning where mental focus and
reflection are called for，educators shouldn't assume all media are the same，even when they
contain identical words.
语篇解读 本文是说明文，中等难度。文章探讨了在纸上阅读与在屏幕上阅读的区别，以及
音视频内容与读文字在学习效果上的差异，强调了在需要精神专注和反思的情况下，传统的
纸质阅读可能更为有效。
28．What does the underlined phrase “shine through” in paragraph 2 mean?A．Seem unlikely to last.
B．Seem hard to explain.
C．Become ready to use.
D．Become easy to notice.
答案 D
解析 词义猜测题。根据第二段前两句可知，在阅读几百字的文本时，纸质阅读比屏幕阅读
的学习效果更好。根据画线词所在句可知，当实验人员把任务从易(比如找到阅读文章的主
旨)到难(需要抽象思维，比如从文本中推断出结论)推进时，纸质阅读的优势尤为明显，也就
是变得容易被人注意到(become easy to notice)。故选D。
29．What does the shallowing hypothesis assume?
A．Readers treat digital texts lightly.
B．Digital texts are simpler to understand.
C．People select digital texts randomly.
D．Digital texts are suitable for social media.
答案 A
解析 推理判断题。根据第四段第三句“According to this theory，people approach digital
texts with a mindset suited to social media，which are often not so serious，and devote less
mental effort than when they are reading print.”可知，shallowing hypothesis认为读者在阅读数
字文本时会持有一种轻松的心态，不会像阅读纸质书籍那样投入太多的心理努力。故选A。
30．Why are audio and video increasingly used by university teachers?
A．They can hold students' attention.
B．They are more convenient to prepare.
C．They help develop advanced skills.
D．They are more informative than text.
答案 A
解析 细节理解题。根据第五段第一句“Audio (音频) and video can feel more engaging than
text，and so university teachers increasingly turn to these technologies...”可知，音频和视频比
文本更能吸引学生的注意力，所以大学教师越来越多地使用这些技术。故选A。
31．What does the author imply in the last paragraph?
A．Students should apply multiple learning techniques.
B．Teachers should produce their own teaching material.
C．Print texts cannot be entirely replaced in education.
D．Education outside the classroom cannot be ignored.
答案 C
解析 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“However，for maximizing learning where mentalfocus and reflection are called for，educators shouldn't assume all media are the same，even
when they contain identical words.”可知，当需要精神专注和反思的学习中，教育者不应假定
所有媒体都是相同的，即使它们包含相同的文字。这表明作者认为纸质文本在教育中的作用
仍然不可替代。故选C。
D
In the race to document the species on Earth before they go extinct，researchers and citizen
scientists have collected billions of records.Today，most records of biodiversity are often in the
form of photos，videos，and other digital records.Though they are useful for detecting shifts in
the number and variety of species in an area，a new Stanford study has found that this type of
record is not perfect.
“With the rise of technology it is easy for people to make observations of different species
with the aid of a mobile application，” said Barnabas Daru，who is lead author of the study and
assistant professor of biology in the Stanford School of Humanities and Sciences.“These
observations now outnumber the primary data that comes from physical specimens(标本)，and
since we are increasingly using observational data to investigate how species are responding to
global change，I wanted to know：Are they usable？”
Using a global dataset of 1.9 billion records of plants，insects，birds，and animals，Daru
and his team tested how well these data represent actual global biodiversity patterns.
“We were particularly interested in exploring the aspects of sampling that tend to bias(使有
偏差) data，like the greater likelihood of a citizen scientist to take a picture of a flowering plant
instead of the grass right next to it，” said Daru.
Their study revealed that the large number of observation-only records did not lead to better
global coverage.Moreover，these data are biased and favor certain regions，time periods，and
species.This makes sense because the people who get observational biodiversity data on mobile
devices are often citizen scientists recording their encounters with species in areas nearby.These
data are also biased toward certain species with attractive or eye-catching features.
What can we do with the imperfect datasets of biodiversity?
“Quite a lot，” Daru explained.“Biodiversity apps can use our study results to inform
users of oversampled areas and lead them to places—and even species—that are not well-
sampled.To improve the quality of observational data，biodiversity apps can also encourage users
to have an expert confirm the identification of their uploaded image.”
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文，较难。文章主要介绍了斯坦福大学的一项研究发现：当前生
物多样性记录存在偏差，分析了造成这些偏差的原因，并在最后说明如何完善生物采样数据
的科学性。
32．What do we know about the records of species collected now?
A．They are becoming outdated.B．They are mostly in electronic form.
C．They are limited in number.
D．They are used for public exhibition.
答案 B
解析 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Today，most records of biodiversity are often in the
form of photos，videos，and other digital records.”可知，现在收集的物种记录大多是以电子
形式存在的。故选B。
33．What does Daru's study focus on?
A．Threatened species.
B．Physical specimens.
C．Observational data.
D．Mobile applications.
答案 C
解析 推理判断题。第二段中“These observations... I wanted to know：Are they usable？”以
及第三段中“Daru and his team tested how well these data represent actual global biodiversity
patterns”表明了Daru想要知道观测数据是否可用，并测试这些数据如何代表全球生物多样
性模式。故选C。
34．What has led to the biases according to the study?
A．Mistakes in data analysis.
B．Poor quality of uploaded pictures.
C．Improper way of sampling.
D．Unreliable data collection devices.
答案 C
解析 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“...like the greater likelihood...right next to it”和第五段
中的“Moreover，these data are biased and favor certain regions，time periods, and species.”可
知，收集生物采样数据的人对于采样区域、采样时段以及采样物种的选择有一定主观性，这
些不当的采样方式会导致收集到的数据产生偏差。故选C。
35．What is Daru's suggestion for biodiversity apps?
A．Review data from certain areas.
B．Hire experts to check the records.
C．Confirm the identity of the users.
D．Give guidance to citizen scientists.
答案 D
解析 推理判断题。最后一段中Daru解释说生物多样性应用可以利用他们的研究结果告知
用户被过度采样的区域，并引导他们前往未被充分采样的地区和物种；另外，应用也可以鼓励用户让专家确认他们上传图片的物种名称。因此，Daru建议biodiversity apps提供给采样
人员一些指导意见。故选D。
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。
Not all great writers are great spellers.If you want to be published，it's vital to submit a
perfect，professionally presented manuscript(原稿)． 36 No editor is likely to tolerate a writer
who does not take the trouble to spell words correctly.
I keep two reference books close-by on my desk：dictionary and thesaurus(同义词词典)．I
don't trust my laptop's spellchecker. 37 Of course，these days there are plenty of online
dictionaries and thesauruses，but I'm old-fashioned enough to prefer a hard cover and pages I can
leaf through with my fingers.I use the Concise Oxford Dictionary and the Collins Thesaurus.
38 It should give you a precise definition of each word，thus differentiating it from
other words whose meanings are similar，but not identical.It will also usually show how the word
is pronounced.
In addition，I have an old two-volume copy of the Shorter Oxford Dictionary，picked up a
few years ago in a bookshop sale for just 99 pence.Of course，with its 2,672 pages，it's not
exactly short.It contains around 163,000 words，plus word combinations and idiomatic phrases.
39 However，if I need to check the origin of a word or to look up examples of its usage，
there's nothing better.
For well over a hundred years the most influential English dictionary was Samuel Johnson's
Dictionary of the English Language published in 1755.“To make dictionaries is dull(乏味)
work，” wrote Johnson，illustrating one definition of “dull”． 40 A few minutes spent
casting your eye over a page or two can be a rewarding experience.
A．I don't often use this dictionary.
B．It takes no account of the context.
C．But I still don't want to replace them.
D．But a dictionary can be a pleasure to read.
E．Of course，a dictionary is not only for spelling.
F．That means good grammar and no spelling mistakes.
G．Dictionaries don't always give you enough information.
语篇解读 这是一篇说明文，中等难度。文章主要介绍了作者使用英语词典的经验和心得以
及从中获得的乐趣。
36．答案 F
解析 空白处前一句提到提交完美、专业呈现的原稿对于出版的重要性，后一句讲的是“编
辑不太可能容忍不愿花心思把单词拼写正确的作家”。F项是对上文的进一步解释，指出提交完美原稿的要求是良好的语法和没有拼写错误。故选F。
37．答案 B
解析 上文“I don't trust my laptop's spellchecker.”提到作者不相信笔记本电脑的拼写检查
器。B选项“它不考虑上下文”解释了作者不相信的原因。故选B。
38．答案 E
解析 下文提到了字典的多重作用和功能，E选项(当然，字典不仅仅是用来拼写的)能引起
下文内容。故选E。
39．答案 A
解析 A选项“我不经常用这本字典”中的指示代词this dictionary指的就是上文中作者提
到的the Shorter Oxford Dictionary。同时与下文“However，if I need to check the origin of a
word or to look up examples of its usage，there's nothing better.”构成转折关系，提到了字典
的使用情况，虽不常用，但却是查单词的来源或者例句的好帮手，A选项承上启下，故选
A。
40．答案 D
解析 上文“‘To make dictionaries is dull(乏味) work，’ wrote Johnson，illustrating one
definition of ‘dull’．”提到了 Johnson 认为编写字典是件乏味的工作，下文“A few
minutes spent casting your eye over a page or two can be a rewarding experience.”提到浏览字典
也是一种阅读的乐趣，D选项(但是一本字典读起来是一种乐趣)是作者对字典的评价，与上
文的“乏味”形成对比，与上文构成转折关系。故选D。
第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分)
第一节 (共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分)
阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
I've been motivated—and demotivated—by other folks' achievements all my life.
When I was a teenager，a neighborhood friend 41 a marathon race.Feeling motivated，
I started running 42 ，but then two things happened.First，a girl I met one day told me she
was 43 for a “super”，referring to a 52.4-mile double marathon.Then，the next day I
went on my longest run—15 miles.To be honest，I 44 it! Between the girl making my 45
seem small and the pure boredom of jogging，I decided that the only 46 I'd ever run again
is if a big dog was running after me!
So I 47 cycling.I got a good bike and rode a lot.I 48 of entering cycle races until I

Dear Chris ，
I ' m writing to share with you an art class I had in a park last Friday. You cannot imagine how
meaningful and interesting it was!
We were tasked to draw or paint something that impressed us most.Inspired by the fantastic
scenery，I decided to create a watercolor painting of the small bridge over the park's pond，
surrounded by blooming flowers.
The entire experience was incredibly refreshing.Being surrounded by nature not only sparked
my creativity but also offered a much-needed break from the usual hustle and bustle of school life.I
felt a deep sense of peace as I painted.
In a word，it was not just an art class; it was a moment of connection with nature that I truly
cherished.
How have your classes been lately? I would love to hear about them.
Take care and write back soon!
Yours ，
Li Hua
第二节 (满分25分)
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。
I met Gunter on a cold，wet and unforgettable evening in September.I had planned to fly to
Vienna and take a bus to Prague for a conference.Due to a big storm，my flight had been delayed
by an hour and a half.I touched down in Vienna just 30 minutes before the departure of the last bus
to Prague.The moment I got off the plane，I ran like crazy through the airport building and jumpedinto the first taxi on the rank without a second thought.
That was when I met Gunter.I told him where I was going，but he said he hadn't heard of the
bus station.I thought my pronunciation was the problem，so I explained again more slowly，but
he still looked confused.When I was about to give up，Gunter fished out his little phone and rang
up a friend.After a heated discussion that lasted for what seemed like a century，Gunter put his
phone down and started the car.
Finally，with just two minutes to spare we rolled into the bus station.Thankfully，there was a
long queue(队列) still waiting to board the bus.Gunter parked the taxi behind the bus，turned
around，and looked at me with a big smile on his face.“We made it，” he said.
Just then I realised that I had zero cash in my wallet.I flashed him an apologetic smile as I
pulled out my Portuguese bank card.He tried it several times，but the card machine just did not
play along.A feeling of helplessness washed over me as I saw the bus queue thinning out.
At this moment，Gunter pointed towards the waiting hall of the bus station.There，at the
entrance，was a cash machine.I jumped out of the car，made a mad run for the machine，and
popped my card in，only to read the message：“Out of order.Sorry.”
注意：
(1)续写词数应为150个左右；
(2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。

I ran back to Gunter and told him the bad news.“Sorry，I can't take cash out，” I said
embarrassedly，with my face burning.Hearing my words，Gunter replied with the familiar smile
on his face，“That's OK；just go ahead.You can pay me at your convenience.” So surprised
and moved was I that I couldn't say a word out.I took out my notebook，asked Gunter's number
and wrote it down hurriedly，promising I would call him back.Then I made a mad run for the bus
and left.
Four days later，when I was back in Vienna，I called Gunter as promised.The moment
Gunter picked up the phone，he seemed to know I was going to call.“I know it's you，” he
said softly.As we met the following day at the departure place，I expressed my great gratitude tohim.I paid him the fare and offered an extra $10 tip；however，he refused the tip，saying “It is
not a big deal.”Suddenly，a warm current washed over me.It was at that time that I felt blessed to
have met such a warm-hearted man like Gunter who has a heart of gold.
