Hello, everybody. My name’s Ann. Thanks for turning up to listen to me talk about my career. I hope that
some of you will decide to take up nursing in the future because it is a fantastic job. First of all, I’ll tell you a little
bit about how I got started. I had no idea what I wanted to do until I was about 14, when I was listening to a family
conversation. My cousin was talking to my dad and telling him all about how much she enjoyed her work. She was
a nurse in a busy hospital. And I thought, yeah, that’s exactly what I’d like to do. When I told my teachers that’s
what I decided, they were very encouraging. But they did say that although I had always got good marks in English
and biology, I’d have to get a little better at math, or I wouldn’t be able to do the job. Well, I must say, it wasn’t
easy being a student nurse. It involved lots of late nights staying up to do my coursework. But I’d known it would
be like that. Anyway, I think I have one of the best jobs in the world. My sister is an accountant, and although she
earns far more than I do, I think my job is much more rewarding.

2．The festival celebrates traditional music of the host country, as well as _________ of participating nations.
A．one
B．those
C．it
D．that
【答案】D
【详解】考查代词。句意：这个节日不仅庆祝主办国的传统音乐，也庆祝参与国的传统音乐。句中 as well
as 连接两个并列的成分，前半部分是traditional music of the host country（主办国的传统音乐），后半部分
需要指代的是traditional music of participating nations（参与国的传统音乐）。此处指代的是不可数名词
music，需要用代词that 来避免重复。one：用于指代可数名词单数，且指代同类不同物的单数个体，不适
合指代不可数名词music。those：用于指代可数名词复数，对应复数名词的指代场景，不符合此处需求。
it：用于指代同名同物，即前文提到的同一个事物，而本句中主办国音乐和参与国音乐是不同范畴的内容，
不能用it。故选D。

处在句中作谓语，由yesterday 可知，句子描述过去发生的事，应用一般过去时，此处表示“被偷”，主语
Tom’s computer as well as two bags 和动词steal(偷)是被动关系，应用一般过去时的被动；且as well as 连接
并列主语时，其谓语动词单复数取决于其前面的主语，即此处谓语动词单复数与Tom’s computer 保持一致，
be 动词应用was，故选C。
5．Life is a road full of minor inconveniences and major setbacks, which everyone faces, ___________ wealth or
social rank.

“I’ve always enjoyed gardening, but I’ve always been aware from the get-go (从一开始) that there had to be
more to being a professional garden designer than that,” says Karen Martin, who worked in real estate before
changing careers. “I committed to gaining a deeper understanding of the principles of design. To do that I signed up
for a difficult training program that covered everything from the basics of landscape design to more advanced
topics.”
In addition to formal education, gaining practical experience is essential for developing the skills needed to
be a successful garden designer. “I also spent countless hours volunteering at botanical gardens to gain hands-on
experience in the field,” Karen recalls. “It was during these experiences that I learned about plant care and design,
and how they interact to create beautiful outdoor spaces.”
“Those interested in becoming a landscape gardener may try building a collection of photographs, drafts or
computer drawings of garden plans that demonstrate skills and creativity,” Karen suggests. “As I gained
experience, I started building a catalogue ( 目录簿) of my work to show my abilities to potential clients or
employers.”
One of the most rewarding aspects of the job for Karen has been the opportunity to work with clients to turn
their outdoor spaces into something truly unique and beautiful. “I love listening to my clients’ visions and bringing
them to life through thoughtful design and plant selection. Seeing the joy on their faces as they walk through their
newly designed garden is an experience that never gets old,” says Karen.
“Of course, like any profession, there are challenges. The long hours are tiring, and the weather and soil
conditions can all present obstacles (障碍) to creating the perfect outdoor space. But it’s these challenges that make
the job all the more rewarding when you’re able to overcome them and create something truly special.
“All in all, becoming a professional garden designer allows me to combine my love for nature with my
desire to create beauty. Plus, I always end up having a good night’s rest due to the physical parts of the job. I
wouldn’t have it any other way,” Karen concludes.
41．What might Karen think of the training program?
A．It played a key role in her job switch.
B．It was too difficult for her to complete.
C．It focused much on basic designing.

Your favorite foods might not taste the same in the future, and the climate crisis is behind it.
In Spain, the black Iberian pigs, which are very important for making special ham, usually eat acorns (橡子)
and surrounding grass under oak trees. However, because of heatwaves and a five-year drought, these natural-foods
are becoming less. So, the pigs are now fed olives (橄榄), thereby changing the unique flavor of the ham.
Drought also affects how fruits taste. For example, watermelons and cantaloupes (香瓜) taste different when
there’s a drought. Researchers from a Spanish tech center told a Spanish newspaper that sugars and other
compounds build up during droughts, changing the taste of food, sometimes for better, sometimes for worse.
Beyond drought, rising temperatures and sea levels also influence food flavors. Typically, warm days and
cool nights improve the sugar and acid content in fruits, which are essential for the optimal flavor. However,
global-warming makes this hard to achieve. For example, Japanese apples are becoming less acidic, softer, and
drier due to early blooming and high temperatures during growth.
While the food we eat is deeply influenced by the climate crisis, our food choices also cause it. Eating meat
and dairy from cows has a big impact on the climate. Raising livestock (牲畜) produces a lot of greenhouse gases.
Making animal protein also needs more land, energy and water than making plant-based protein.
This may seem like a problem that can’t be solved, but we can break this cycle. The Good Food Institute, a
US group, believes people will choose alternative protein if they are as tasty and affordable as meat.
Meanwhile, more people have started to take action. According to The New York Times, Will Hlmaris, a US
farmer, practices regenerative farming, allowing cows to move around freely, using less chemical use and
disturbing the soil less, which is more environmentally friendly.
46．What changes the flavor of the ham?
A．The unique compounds caused by heatwaves.
B．People’s need to make the flavor special.
C．The harvest of acorns and the surrounding grass.
D．The shortage of food sources and alternative feed.
47．What does the underlined word “optimal” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A．Strange.
B．Common.
C．Best.
D．Worst.
48．Which are the factors leading to the change of foods’ flavor?
A．Rising temperatures and sea levels.
B．Heatwaves and hurricanes.
C．Regenerative farming and researches.
D．Human’s study and choices.
49．According to the Good Food Institute, people will choose alternative protein if ______.
A．the greenhouse gases disappear
B．they are delicious and cheap enough
C．they are cheaper than meat
D．the environment changes
50．What’s the main idea of the passage?
A．Climate crisis changing food taste.
B．Livestock’s role in making protein.
C．Food production affected by climate.
D．Benefits of regenerative farming.

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章指出气候危机正在改变人们喜爱的食物的风味；同时提到人类的饮食选择
也会加剧气候危机，最后介绍了一些可以打破这个恶性循环的解决办法。
46．细节理解题。根据第二段“In Spain, the black Iberian pigs, which are very important for making special
ham, usually eat acorns and surrounding grass under oak trees. However, because of heatwaves and a five-year
drought, these natural foods are becoming less. So, the pigs are now fed olives, thereby changing the unique flavor
of the ham (在西班牙，用于制作特制火腿的伊比利亚黑猪通常以橡树底下的橡子和周边青草为食。但由于
热浪侵袭和长达五年的干旱，这些天然食物的数量不断减少。因此，人们现在用橄榄来喂养这些猪，这就
改变了火腿独特的风味)”可知，是天然食物来源短缺以及改用替代饲料的做法改变了火腿的风味。故选
D。
47．词句猜测题。根据第四段“Typically, warm days and cool nights improve the sugar and acid content in
fruits, which are essential for the optimal flavor. However, global warming makes this hard to achieve (通常来说，
温暖的白天和凉爽的夜晚会提升水果中的糖分和酸含量，这对于形成optimal 风味至关重要。但全球变暖
让这种条件很难实现)”可知，适宜的昼夜温差能提升水果的糖分和酸含量，进而造就好的风味，由此推测
“optimal”的意思是“最佳的”。故选C。
48．细节理解题。根据第四段“Beyond drought, rising temperatures and sea levels also influence food flavors
(除了干旱，气温上升和海平面上升也会影响食物的风味)”可知，导致食物风味改变的因素有干旱、气温上
升和海平面上升。故选A。
49．细节理解题。根据第六段“The Good Food Institute, a US group, believes people will choose alternative
protein if they are as tasty and affordable as meat (美国的The Good Food Institute 认为，如果替代蛋白和肉类
一样美味且价格实惠，人们就会选择它)”可知，满足美味且价格足够便宜这两个条件，人们就会选择替代
蛋白。故选B。

“Knowledge is power. Information is liberating. Education is the premise ( 前提) of progress.” These
profound words by former UN Secretary — General Kofi Annan capture the transformative power of knowledge.
When combined with effort, knowledge drives both personal growth and social advancement. Then, what does
meaningful knowledge acquisition look like in today’s world?
Formal education provides the foundation of knowledge. Schools equip us with the basic skills needed for
personal and intellectual growth — reading, writing and critical thinking. More importantly, they teach us how to
learn. For instance, many schools now include hands-on projects, such as recycling programs, where students apply
science to address real-world issues. One such example is Sarah, a student who was inspired by her classroom
learning, initiated a recycling program that successfully collected over 500 kg of plastic in just three months. This
shows how education can bring about real change when knowledge is applied creatively.
However, classroom learning alone isn’t enough. Real-world experience adds depth and perspective to
textbook knowledge. I recall my first coastal cleanup with NOAA researchers — an eye-opening experience that
allowed me to witness firsthand the disastrous effects of plastic pollution on marine life. Similarly, working with
sustainable farmers taught me practical solutions that no textbook could fully capture. These experiences
transformed abstract concepts into real-world understanding and deepened my commitment to environmental work.
As the saying goes, “Experience is the best teacher” — it tests our knowledge and shows us how to use it
effectively.
Perhaps the most underestimated source of knowledge is the people around us. Every individual we meet
carries unique experiences and insights. My grandmother, though not formally educated, taught me profound
lessons about sustainability through her simple practices of reusing and repairing items. Human connections remind
us that knowledge isn’t just found in books — it lives in stories, traditions, and everyday interactions.
In an era of unprecedented (前所未有的) global challenges, the approaches to gaining knowledge aren’t just
helpful — they’re essential. The students learning about plastic recycling today might become the environmental
scientists of tomorrow. The lessons we gain from personal experiences shape how we tackle problems. The wisdom
we share through human connections builds stronger, more innovative societies.
51．Why does the author quote Kofi Annan at the beginning?
A．To present a historical case.
B．To introduce the topic.
C．To make a comparison.
D．To criticize outdated views.
52．What does the author suggest about formal education?
A．It’s foundational but fails to meet modern challenges.
B．It’s the most trusted source of knowledge in today’s world.
C．It focuses too much on memorization over creativity.
D．It needs real-world application to make an impact.
53．According to the author, what does working with NOAA researchers indicate?
A．How an experience deepens understanding.
B．What the benefits of government support are.
C．Why marine biology is crucial.
D．Where the advantages of classroom learning lie.
54．Which of the following best illustrates the author’s view on knowledge sharing?
A．A researcher documenting discoveries in private journals.
B．A professor withdrawing research data for no reason.
C．Students repeatedly reciting textbook content.
D．Classmates debating environmental solutions.
55．The passage is mainly about ________.
A．the various ways knowledge is acquired in today’s society
B．the reason why experience outweighs classroom learning
C．the key to solving unprecedented global challenges
D．the significance of knowledge in shaping basic life skills
【答案】51．B 52．D 53．A 54．D 55．A

校都开设了动手实践项目，如回收计划，让学生运用科学知识解决现实世界的问题。其中一个例子是莎拉，
她受到课堂学习的启发，发起了一项回收计划，仅三个月就成功收集了500 多公斤塑料。这表明，当知识
得到创造性应用时，教育可以带来真正的变革)”可知，作者认为正规教育需要结合现实应用才能产生影响
力。故选D 项。
53．细节理解题。根据第三段“I recall my first coastal cleanup with NOAA researchers — an eye-opening
experience that allowed me to witness firsthand the disastrous effects of plastic pollution on marine life. Similarly,
working with sustainable farmers taught me practical solutions that no textbook could fully capture. These
experiences transformed abstract concepts into real-world understanding and deepened my commitment to

found in books — it lives in stories, traditions, and everyday interactions.(人与人之间的联系提醒我们，知识不
仅仅存在于书本中——它存在于故事、传统和日常互动中)”可知，作者认为知识分享存在于日常交流互动
中。同学之间讨论环境解决方案属于交流互动式的知识分享，而其他选项均不属于知识分享。故选D 项。
55．主旨大意题。文章第一段引出话题，第二段讲述了正规教育获取知识，第三段讲述了现实经历获取知
识，第四段讲述了从周围人那里获取知识，最后一段总结在当今全球挑战前所未有的时代，这些获取知识
的方法很重要，所以文章核心是论述当今社会中获取知识的多种途径。故选A 项。
第III 卷
第四部分：写作
第一节：阅读表达（共5 小题；每小题2 分，满分10 分）
阅读下面短文，并根据题目要求用英语回答问题(请注意问题后的字数要求)。
It’s after midnight and you’ve been studying all day. Empty energy drinks line the table and you sigh,
“Tomorrow, I’m getting ice cream. I deserve to treat myself.”
This year, the so-called “treat yourself culture” has expanded far beyond what was once a reward-based
mindset. Now, “treating yourself” has become more about stress-caused indulgence (放纵). It represents the more
deep-seated issues with the stress we regularly put ourselves under.
The root of the problem lies in our belief that we should be doing more work if it isn’t hard enough.
Especially at a top university, I constantly find myself wanting to do more. I want more credits, a higher-grade
point average, and more responsibilities I’ll later use as conversation topics in interviews. This drive is by no means
a bad thing. We all are trying to eventually land in a place where we can relax and live a more enjoyable life.
However, there are a lot of problems with this logic. Without sounding completely hopeless and pessimistic, it is
possible that the future we imagine in our twenties will not become reality. Therefore, it is important to integrate
things that make us happy with work, school or life induced stress.
Psychology certainly supports this belief. While having good self-control was positively associated with
happiness, being able to enjoy life’s little pleasures without feeling ashamed of doing so is just as important. For
example, even if you have a busy schedule of work, make time to stop by your favorite coffee shop or spend ten
minutes to go on a walk outdoors.
I cannot urge you to give up your late nights of studying, energy drinks and all. I cannot tell you to always
choose to do something that makes you happy over something you have or should do. Frankly, this is just not the
way life works. We have to put up with the hard work and put in the time. Without pain, we’d also lose happiness
and joy. It’s all about balance.
So, instead of looking at everything as a way to handle the stress and something to “treat myself”, let’s try to
make treating ourselves a far more common practice in the busy lives we lead.
56．What causes the so-called “treat yourself culture”?（no more than 5 words）
57．What does “this logic” in Paragraph 3 refer to?（no more than 30 words）
58．What two factors are mentioned as important for happiness?（no more than 15 words）
59．How should we treat ourselves according to the author?（no more than 20 words）
60．Are you a follower of “treat yourself culture”? Why or why not?（In about 20 words）
【答案】56．Stress. 57．It refers to the idea that if we work hard we will eventually land in a place where we
can relax and live a more enjoyable life. 58．Good self-control and enjoying small pleasures without shame
59．According to the author, we should integrate small daily pleasures into life, make treating ourselves common,
and balance enjoyment with responsibilities. 60．言之有理即可。参考答案：Yes, I am. When stressed by
exams or homework, I treat myself to a piece of cake or a short music break. It eases my pressure and helps me
focus better later without neglecting my tasks.
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“善待自己文化”，呼吁人们在忙碌的生活中更常见地对待自
己。
56 ．考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“ Now, “treating yourself” has become more about stress-caused
indulgence (放纵). It represents the more deep-seated issues with the stress we regularly put ourselves under.(现在，
“善待自己”更多地是关于压力引起的放纵。它代表了我们经常让自己承受的压力的更深层次的问题)”可
知，是压力导致了所谓的“善待自己文化”。故答案为Stress.
57．考查词句猜测。根据第三段中的“We all are trying to eventually land in a place where we can relax and
live a more enjoyable life. However, there are a lot of problems with this logic.(我们都试图最终到达一个我们可
以放松的地方，过上更愉快的生活。然而，这种逻辑存在很多问题)”可知，这种逻辑指的是上文提到的我
们都试图最终到达一个我们可以放松的地方，过上更愉快的生活。故答案为It refers to the idea that if we
work hard we will eventually land in a place where we can relax and live a more enjoyable life.
58．考查细节理解。根据第四段中的“While having good self-control was positively associated with happiness,
being able to enjoy life’s little pleasures without feeling ashamed of doing so is just as important.(拥有良好的自我
控制能力与幸福感之间存在正相关关系，而能够享受生活中的小乐趣，并且不因这样做而感到羞愧，这一
点同样非常重要)”可知，文中提到的对幸福很重要的两个因素为良好的自控力和无愧疚地享受小确幸。故
答案为Good self-control and enjoying small pleasures without shame.
59．考查细节理解。根据第四段的“Psychology certainly supports this belief. While having good self-control
was positively associated with happiness, being able to enjoy life’s little pleasures without feeling ashamed of
doing so is just as important.(心理学确实支持这一观点。拥有良好的自我控制能力与幸福感之间存在正相关
关系，而能够享受生活中的小乐趣，并且不因这样做而感到羞愧，这一点同样非常重要)”，第五段的
“Without pain, we’d also lose happiness and joy. It’s all about balance.(没有痛苦，我们也会失去快乐和喜悦。
这一切都关乎平衡)”以及第六段的“So, instead of looking at everything as a way to handle the stress and
something to “treat myself”, let’s try to make treating ourselves a far more common practice in the busy lives we
lead.(所以，与其将一切事物都视为应对压力的方式以及一种“自我犒劳”的手段，不如让我们尝试将“善
待自己”变成我们忙碌生活中更为常见的行为)”可知，作者建议，在忙碌中享受小乐趣，比如光顾喜欢的
咖啡店、户外散步十分钟，无需为享受小快乐感到羞愧；强调不能放弃努力，也不能只追求快乐，让犒劳
自己成为忙碌生活中的常态。故答案为According to the author, we should integrate small daily pleasures into
life, make treating ourselves common, and balance enjoyment with responsibilities.
60．开放式试题。本题考查你是否为“善待自己”文化的追随者以及原因。言之有理即可。以“是”为例，
结合文章给出理由：当因考试或作业而感到压力时，我会给自己来一块蛋糕或者短暂地休息一下听听音乐。
这样做能缓解我的压力，让我在之后能够更好地集中注意力，而且也不会忽略手头的任务。故参考答案为
Yes, I am. When stressed by exams or homework, I treat myself to a piece of cake or a short music break. It eases
my pressure and helps me focus better later without neglecting my tasks.

How is it going? We plan to form a research-based learning group. I wonder whether you would like to join
us.
Our topic is “A Study on the Differences between British English and American English”. We mainly focus
on their differences in terms of spelling, pronunciation and vocabulary. The aim is to make us familiar with the
underlying causes and effects of the differences so that we can gain a better understanding of the English language.
I know you are a native speaker of British English and you lived in America for several years, so hopefully
you can give us some guidance during the research process. Please inform me of your decision by Friday.
Your involvement will add much joy to our group. Looking forward to your reply.

team.
Here is the detailed information. We intend to compare Chinese literature and English literature in the same
historical period, for example, Shakespeare and Tang Xianzu of the Ming Dynasty. Since there was little chance for
pure literary exchange between nations in history, what we are doing can help great writers from China and Britain
talk spiritually to some extent.
I want you in because I know you have a great passion for British literature. Your professional knowledge
will surely help us in efficiency and accuracy. Also, just imagine the sense of awe you may get from the similarities
and differences we will find. If you are interested, let me know before next Friday.
Looking forward to your reply!

I’m establishing a research-based learning team on English study. I wonder if you would like to be a member
of it.
I plan to study how to improve our English ability by watching English movies. Ten classic movies like
Forrest Gump will be covered. We will analyze the authentic expressions and native pronunciations, and discuss
how to apply them to English study. As watching English movies offers an easy access to English learning, this
project will give students a clue about enjoyable and practical learning methods.
Knowing you have conducted relevant research, I think my project may feed your interest from a different
angle. Moreover, I’m sure your participation will increase the efficiency of completing tasks. If you’d like to come,
please let me know before next Friday.
I sincerely hope we can work together on this project.
