（2025·江城模拟）As I wandered out of my New York apartment, behind me someone called out, "Where can I find peaches " I turned around to see a woman standing outside the greengrocer's. The absurdity of the moment struck me — why would someone want peaches in the middle of winter It is just as absurd as sitting by the pool on a blistering summer day and reaching for a warm, woolly jumper.
I was already aware of the issues facing the food system: industrial farming ruining soils, unclear supply chains leaving citizens powerless in making the right buying decisions, and the dominance of ultra-processed foods with zero nutritional value in supermarkets. But this encounter made me see how normalized it was to expect food out of season.
After graduating, I worked at Wall Street in New York, managing portfolios (投资组合). Despite the breathtaking view and fast-paced stock market, I was troubled by the greed underlying my work. Cooking was my escape. It had always been a passion, whether in Buenos Aires, at university, or in New York.
As I neared my 30s, I knew I needed a change and food became my north star. Through my work visiting markets and farmers around Europe, I saw first-hand why seasonality is critical in our ability to regain control of, and fix, our food system. All around me I could see how quickly flavour was disappearing from our plates. I wanted to reintroduce phenomenal flavour into people's lives, and to re-educate and reconnect consumers with nature. In 2004, I took over Natoora, a French-founded company with a small base in London, determined to reintroduce great flavor to people's lives and reconnect them with nature.
My two-decade-long devotion to flavor, initially a pursuit of personal pleasure, has given my work a deep sense of purpose. Flavor can emotionally connect us to food and bring joy back into our relationship with it. Changing careers opened a new world for me, filled with purpose and love for my work, and I hope it inspires others to fight for a better food-centric world.
4．Why does the author mention the encounter with a woman
A．To illustrate an absurd shopping choice.
B．To highlight a problem in the food system.
C．To compare between peaches and jumpers.
D．To show people's separation from farming.
5．What does the author think of cooking

（2025·江城模拟）Elon Musk has offered a prize of $100m for the best carbon capture proposal. I can save his committee a lot of time. The money should go to Peter Wohlleben, whose book The Hidden Life of Trees was the most encouraging blockbuster of 2015. Wohlleben's idea is this: do nothing about trees. Stop fiddling with them, thinking that we can deal with climate change better than nature. If we fiddle, our Romes will burn.
The Hidden Life of Trees argued that trees are social. It shows that they can be our saviors. But it's terribly hard to let ourselves be saved. We think we can be the authors of our salvation (拯救). Of course, there are things we could and should be doing, but in terms of forestry practice, often what's billed as part of the solution is part of the problem.
Anyone who has planted a tree in their garden knows that it has a far-reaching effect — it makes your garden cooler in summer and warmer in winter. Forests cool by transpiring (蒸发). If there's no water, there's no cooling. Drought can kill trees fast, but trees have many ways of dealing with it, and Wohlleben sets them out. As a species, we have survived many climatic changes by changing our behavior — and that's how trees survive, too. Trees learn from their past harms and produce younger ones programmed with those lessons. They regulate their growth by changing the rate at which they drip (点滴)-feed them with sugar solution through root networks.
Deciduous (落叶的) forests in particular remove greenhouse gases effectively as long as they live. Cut them down and burn them and you're releasing carbon dioxide not just from the wood, but also from the forest floor. Deciduous trees are not "harvest-ready" at 200 years: they are teenagers. We must interrogate comforting expressions such as "renewable energy", and learn the real cost of our toilet paper.
If we don't learn to do nothing about trees, they will eventually be alone anyway—but without us. Wohlleben brilliantly and readably shows us how urgent and how hard it is to do nothing.
8．What does Wohlleben suggest for carbon capture
A．Fight climate change. B．Leave trees alone.
C．Save the earth. D．Change forestry species.
9．How do trees survive the drought
A．They slow their growth. B．They lose all their leaves.
C．They stop absorbing water. D．They get help from humans.
10．What can we infer from the text
A．We can cope with climate change successfully.
B．Trees can adjust their growth by themselves.
C．It is hard to stop releasing carbon dioxide.
D．It is urgent to regulate the growth of trees.
11．What is the author's purpose in writing the text
A．To illustrate the carbon capture system.
B．To give an account of the survival of trees.
C．To clarify a proposal for a reward.
D．To recommend a book.
（2025·江城模拟）A research team, led by Dr. Lee Seung-Hee, Associate Director of the Institute for Basic Science (IBS), has uncovered a fundamental principle of how the brain prioritizes vision and hearing differently depending on whether we are still or in motion. The study provides new insights into the brain's sensory decision-making processes and how they adapt to behavioral states.
In daily life, we constantly process visual and auditory (听觉的) information to explore the world. For example, when watching a movie, the brain integrates images and sounds to create a unified experience. However, during movement-such as walking down a busy street-the brain may prioritize visual input over sound to avoid obstacles.
Until now, the neural mechanisms (神经机制) behind this sensory prioritization remained unclear. Understanding this process is particularly important for individuals with sensory processing disorders. such as autism or schizophrenia, where the brain. may grapple with integrating sensory information effectively. By uncovering how the brain naturally shifts between sensory inputs, researchers hope to pave the way for better treatment for these conditions.
To investigate this phenomenon, the research. team conducted behavioral experiments on mice, monitoring real-time brain activity using miniature microscopes and optogenetics, a technique that uses light to control neurons. The mice were trained to respond to both visual and auditory cues while either stationary or running on a treadmill.
The results revealed a striking shift in sensory reliance: When stationary, the ice relied more on auditory cues to make decisions. When moving, their brains prioritized visual input. This suggests that the brain dynamically adjusts sensory weighting based on behavioral context. Sound may be more useful for detecting nearby events when still, whereas vision becomes critical during movement for spatial navigation and stability.
This discovery could have important implications for understanding and treating sensory processing disorders, where the brain may struggle to properly prioritize sensory inputs. Dr. Lee explained, "Our findings demonstrate how the brain flexibly shifts between vision and hearing depending on behavior. Understanding this natural adaptability could lead to improved treatments for those with sensory integration difficulties."
12．What was the main focus of Dr. Lee's research
A．How behavior boosts the brain function.
B．How physical state affects sensory focus.
C．How information is processed by the brain.
D．How sensory input guides decision-making.
13．What do the underlined words "grapple with" in paragraph 3 probably mean
A．Result in. B．Put off. C．Struggle with. D．Speed up.
14．How did the researchers investigate sensory prioritization in mice
A．By tracking their brain activity during sensory tasks.
B．By monitoring their adaptation to light and sound.
C．By recording their instant reactions to movement.
D．By comparing corresponding human behavior.
15．What is the significance of the research
A．Advancing treatments for sensory processing disorders.
B．Clarifying debates about humans' adaptability.
C．Enhancing the brain's processing efficiency.
D．Developing sensory integration techniques.
二、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。
（2025·江城模拟）A single chopstick breaks easily, but a bundle stays unbroken.　16． 　 For high school seniors facing academic pressure and future uncertainties, learning to cooperate with others is not just a skill — it's a survival tool.
　17． 　 When preparing for exams, study groups allow students to share knowledge. For example, one might explain math concepts clearly, while another is strong in analyzing literature. Together, they fill gaps in understanding. A classmate's different viewpoint can turn a confusing problem into a solvable one, puzzle pieces fitting together to reveal a complete picture.
Cooperation also builds social skills.　18． 　 Imagine planning a class event: some prefer creative ideas, others focus on practical details. Through discussion, students learn to balance innovation and realism-a skill vital for adult life. Even disagreements, if handled calmly, become lessons in understanding others' feelings.
Working together helps overcome challenges. During tough times, like preparing for important exams, classmates can support each other emotionally. A shared laugh during a break or encouraging word before a test reduces stress. Research shows students in supportive teams perform better.　19． 　
However, teamwork requires effort. Avoid relying too much on others or dominating discussions. A good team member contributes actively but also steps back when needed.　20． 　 Think of teamwork as a dance: everyone has a role, and harmony comes from cooperation, not chaos. Regular communication, like weekly check-ins, ensures everyone stays aligned (一致的) while respecting individual strengths.
So, cooperation is a bridge connecting individual talent to collective success. It prepares students not only for exams but also for future careers and relationships.
A. Teamwork makes learning more effective.
B. This simple truth applies to teamwork too.
C. Working on a team, you have the entire group's support.
D. They always stay motivated longer than those working alone.
E. Team members are under heavy pressure to make a decision.
F. Group projects teach us to listen, negotiate and respect differences.
G. For instance, let a teammate lead if he or she understands the topic better.

It was June, the last day of school. My class of first-graders was feverishly anticipating their summer vacation. To add a joyful flavor, I had some balloons brought in, but for me, this holiday was bittersweet. I'd just moved to this city and couldn't afford to fly back to accompany Dad. He was desperately missing me, for it was his first summer without me.
When switching off the light on my way out, I noticed the balloons near the window. Unsure what to do with them, I grabbed the thirteen strings and stuffed them into the backseat of my car. Their rainbow of colors lifted my spirits and gratefully, I didn't feel so alone.
As the city was still foreign to me, I decided to go for a drive and soon found myself winding down a stretch of road where the trees overhead covered each other. The branches reminded me of two friends stretching out to greet each other. Before long, a retirement home appeared. It was a place with a feeling of forgottenness and I spotted a man sitting alone in the shade outside.
I felt a sudden urge to pull in. But the balloons in my backseat blocked my view-then I knew what to do with them. Opening the door and grabbing one of the strings, I waved to the man, and he smiled. His name was Daniel and he was about Dad's age. When I handed him the balloon, he grinned (咧嘴笑)，"Thanks. It gives a little color to my life." While tying it to his chair, he looked happier than when I arrived. So I smiled, "You're welcome, Daniel. Perhaps I'll see you again sometime."
Unexpectedly, he replied, "Perhaps, but probably not. Visitors are always welcome, but rarely come." His words forced me to slide over an old chair next to his. Then we began chatting about our lives and his voice always reminded me of Dad. I'd thought it would be boring talking with a stranger. But it wasn't; it was enlightening — I had been feeling lonely, and so had Daniel, and so had the residents in the retirement home.
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。
Then I remembered the other twelve balloons in the backseat.

【答案】36．have acquired；37．which/that；38．pronunciation；39．for；40．However；41．to represent；42．frightened；43．a；44．extremely；45．be unlocked
【知识点】说明文；社会文化类
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，探讨了中西方文化中动物符号所代表的不同含义。文章通过对比蝙蝠和猫头鹰在中西方文化中的象征意义，展示了文化背景如何影响人们对动物的理解和解读。蝙蝠在中国文化中常被视为好运的象征，而在西方文化中则常与黑暗联系在一起；猫头鹰在中国文化中曾被视为不祥之物，而在西方文化中则常被视为智慧的象征。这些差异反映了不同文化的独特背景，通过探索这些差异，可以更深入地理解世界各地的丰富文化。
【点评】考查语法填空，本题考点涉及时态，定语从句，名词，介词，副词，非谓语动词，形容词，冠词，语态以及固定搭配等多个知识点的考查，是一篇文化类阅读，要求考生在理解细节信息的基础上，进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系，并结合相关语法知识，进行分析推理，从而写出正确的单词形式。
36．句意：在中西方文化中，随着时间的推移，动物有了不同的含义。acquire"获得，得到"，此处是谓语动词。根据时间状语over time可知，此处表示在一段时间内动物获得了不同的含义，强调从过去到现在的变化，所以用现在完成时，且主语animals是复数。故填have acquired。
37．句意：有些元素在一种文化中代表一种东西，而在另一种文化中则完全是另一种东西。 represent one thing to one culture 是限制性定语从句，先行词elements指物，在从句中作主语，所以用关系代词that/which引导。故填which/that。
38．句意："bat"这个词在汉语中（"蝠"）与汉字"幸运、幸福和财富"的发音相同。 pronounce "发音"，动词。the same后接名词，pronounce的名词是 pronunciation，have the same pronunciation as"和……有相同的发音"。故填pronunciation。
39．句意：它们还因其捕捉昆虫的能力而受到赞赏。"be appreciated for...固定短语，"因…… 而被赞赏"，此处表示蝙蝠因能捕捉昆虫而被赞赏。故填for。
40．句意：然而，在西方文化中，蝙蝠通常与黑暗联系在一起。上文提到在中国蝙蝠象征好运，下文说在西方文化中蝙蝠常与黑暗联系在一起，前后是转折关系，且空后有逗号，所以用副词however，位于句首，句首字母大写，表示"然而"。故填However。
41．句意：因此，猫头鹰在诗歌中被用来代表邪恶。"use sth. to do sth."是固定用法，所以此处为动词不定式形式作目的状语。故填to represent。
42．句意：例如，《诗经》中的一首诗是用一只受惊的鸟被猫头鹰欺负的语气写的。 frighten "使害怕"，动词。空后bird是名词，需要用形容词修饰，frightened意为"受惊的，害怕的"，a frightened bird表示"一只受惊的鸟"。故填frightened。
43．句意：然而在西方文化中，猫头鹰通常被视为智慧的象征。symbol"象征"是可数名词，此处是泛指，应用不定冠词。a symbol of.."一种……的象征"。故填a。
44．句意：在流行的哈利波特系列中，猫头鹰是一种非常聪明和乐于助人的鸟。 extreme "非常的，极端的"，形容词。此处修饰形容词wise，需要用副词修饰，extreme的副词形式是extremely。故填extremely。
45．句意：通过探索这些，可以更深入地了解世界各地丰富的文化。 unlock "解锁"，动词，是谓语动词，与主语a deeper understanding of the rich cultures around the world之间是被动关系，且情态动词"can后接动词原形，所以用be unlocked，表示"被解锁，被了解"。故填be unlocked。
46．【答案】One possible version:

47．【答案】Then I remembered the other twelve balloons in the backseat. An idea sparked. I hurried to the car and returned with the vibrant bunch. Knocking on each resident's door, I offered a balloon and a smile. Faces lit up like children receiving candies. An elderly lady tied hers to a walker, murmuring "Just like my granddaughter's birthday." Soon the courtyard bloomed with floating rainbows. Laughter echoed through the once-silent corridors. As twilight painted the sky, I sat surrounded by storytellers sipping lemonade. Their wrinkled hands patted mine gratefully. For the first time since moving here, loneliness dissolved like sugar in warm tea.
Over the next six months, I visited Daniel often. We planted sunflowers by his window, their golden faces tracking the sun like old friends nodding hello. He taught me chess moves from his army days, and I read him newspaper crosswords. Gradually, my students joined our visits, crafting paper cranes with nimble fingers while veterans shared wartime stories. By Christmas, the home buzzed with cookie-baking aromas and carol singers. When Dad finally visited in December, he found me surrounded by silver-haired "adopted grandparents". His eyes glistened as Daniel shook his hand, "Your daughter's brought spring to our winter."
【知识点】文字式记叙文；开放性作文；读后续写
【解析】【分析】本篇书面表达是读后续写。通过阅读文章可知，本文讲述了作者因无法回家陪伴父亲而感到孤独，在离校途中偶遇退休老人Daniel，通过送气球与他交流，最终收获温暖与陪伴的故事。段落续写：①由第一段首句内容"然后我想起了后座的另外十二个气球。"可知，第一段可描写作者利用这些气球逐一拜访养老院里的每一位老人，将气球作为礼物送给他们，观察到这一简单举动带给老人们的喜悦变化。②由第二段首句内容"在接下来的六个月里，我经常去看望Daniel。"可知，第二段可描写作者与Daniel之间相处日常，以及更多人加入看望老人的活动，养老院变得温馨，父亲来访时的感动场景。写作时注意准确运用时态，上下文意思连贯，符合逻辑关系，尽量使用自己熟悉的单词句式，同时也要注意使用高级词汇和高级句型使文章显得更有档次。
【点评】该续写续写通过细腻的情感描写和生动的场景刻画，将原本孤独的个体故事升华为跨越代际的温暖联结。作者成功将个人情感困境转化为社会关怀的叙事，通过气球、向日葵、纸鹤等象征物构建诗意空间。特别值得称赞的是对老年群体精神需求的精准捕捉——他们渴望的不仅是物质关怀，更是被需要、被倾听的存在价值。这种超越血缘的亲情联结，恰是对现代社会原子化生存状态的有力回应。【高分句型1】As twilight painted the sky, I sat surrounded by storytellers sipping lemonade. (运用了As引导的时间状语从句)；【高分句型2】Gradually, my students joined our visits, crafting paper cranes with nimble fingers while veterans shared wartime stories. (运用了现在分词短语作状语和while引导的时间状语从句)。

（2025·江城模拟）As I wandered out of my New York apartment, behind me someone called out, "Where can I find peaches " I turned around to see a woman standing outside the greengrocer's. The absurdity of the moment struck me — why would someone want peaches in the middle of winter It is just as absurd as sitting by the pool on a blistering summer day and reaching for a warm, woolly jumper.
I was already aware of the issues facing the food system: industrial farming ruining soils, unclear supply chains leaving citizens powerless in making the right buying decisions, and the dominance of ultra-processed foods with zero nutritional value in supermarkets. But this encounter made me see how normalized it was to expect food out of season.
After graduating, I worked at Wall Street in New York, managing portfolios (投资组合). Despite the breathtaking view and fast-paced stock market, I was troubled by the greed underlying my work. Cooking was my escape. It had always been a passion, whether in Buenos Aires, at university, or in New York.
As I neared my 30s, I knew I needed a change and food became my north star. Through my work visiting markets and farmers around Europe, I saw first-hand why seasonality is critical in our ability to regain control of, and fix, our food system. All around me I could see how quickly flavour was disappearing from our plates. I wanted to reintroduce phenomenal flavour into people's lives, and to re-educate and reconnect consumers with nature. In 2004, I took over Natoora, a French-founded company with a small base in London, determined to reintroduce great flavor to people's lives and reconnect them with nature.
My two-decade-long devotion to flavor, initially a pursuit of personal pleasure, has given my work a deep sense of purpose. Flavor can emotionally connect us to food and bring joy back into our relationship with it. Changing careers opened a new world for me, filled with purpose and love for my work, and I hope it inspires others to fight for a better food-centric world.
4．Why does the author mention the encounter with a woman
A．To illustrate an absurd shopping choice.
B．To highlight a problem in the food system.
C．To compare between peaches and jumpers.
D．To show people's separation from farming.
5．What does the author think of cooking
A．Healing. B．Troublesome. C．Demanding. D．Instructive.
6．What can we infer from paragraph 4
A．People will improve flavors on their tables soon.
B．Consumers are not willing to get close to nature.
C．Our food system is in need of our great attention.
D．All the markets in Europe sell food out of season.
7．Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text

C．Approaches to Fixing the Food System
D．From Wall Street to the World of Flavor
【答案】4．B
5．A
6．C
7．D

4．细节理解题。根据第二段"I was already aware of the issues facing the food system: industrial farming ruining soils, unclear supply chains leaving citizens powerless in making the right buying decisions, and the dominance of ultra-processed foods with zero nutritional value in supermarkets. But this encounter made me see how normalized it was to expect food out of season. "我已经意识到食品体系面临的问题：工业化农业破坏土壤，不透明的供应链让市民在做出正确购买决定时无能为力，以及超市中零营养价值的超加工食品占据主导地位。但这次相遇让我看到，人们对反季节食品的需求已经变得多么正常。可知，作者提到与女士的相遇是为了突出食品体系中存在的问题，即人们对反季节食品习以为常。故选B。
5．推理判断题。根据第三段中的"Despite the breathtaking view and fast-paced stock market, I was troubled by the greed underlying my work. Cooking was my escape. It had always been a passion, whether in Buenos Aires, at university, or in New York."尽管有令人惊叹的景色和快节奏的股票市场，但我工作背后的贪婪让我烦恼。烹饪是我的避风港。无论是在布宜诺斯艾利斯、大学期间，还是在纽约，烹饪一直是我的爱好。可知，在工作带来烦恼时，烹饪能让作者逃离这种负面情绪，所以作者认为烹饪具有治愈作用。故选A。
6．推理判断题。根据第四段中的"Through my work visiting markets and farmers around Europe, I saw first-hand why seasonality is critical in our ability to regain control of, and fix, our food system. All around me I could see how quickly flavour was disappearing from our plates. I wanted to reintroduce phenomenal flavour into people's lives, and to re-educate and reconnect consumers with nature. "通过我在欧洲各地走访市场和农民的工作，我亲眼看到了为什么季节性对于我们重新掌控和修复食品体系至关重要。在我周围，我看到食物的味道正从我们的盘子里迅速消失。我想把非凡的味道重新引入人们的生活，重新教育消费者，让他们与自然重新建立联系。可知，食品体系存在诸多问题，比如食物味道消失，季节性对修复食品体系很关键，所以我们的食品体系需要我们高度关注。故选C。
7．标题归纳题。通读全文可知，本文讲述作者从在华尔街工作，因对食品体系问题的关注和对烹饪的热爱，转行投身于与食物味道相关的事业，从华尔街走向了味道的世界。"从华尔街到风味世界"概括了文章主旨，适合做本文标题，故选D。
（2025·江城模拟）Elon Musk has offered a prize of $100m for the best carbon capture proposal. I can save his committee a lot of time. The money should go to Peter Wohlleben, whose book The Hidden Life of Trees was the most encouraging blockbuster of 2015. Wohlleben's idea is this: do nothing about trees. Stop fiddling with them, thinking that we can deal with climate change better than nature. If we fiddle, our Romes will burn.
The Hidden Life of Trees argued that trees are social. It shows that they can be our saviors. But it's terribly hard to let ourselves be saved. We think we can be the authors of our salvation (拯救). Of course, there are things we could and should be doing, but in terms of forestry practice, often what's billed as part of the solution is part of the problem.
Anyone who has planted a tree in their garden knows that it has a far-reaching effect — it makes your garden cooler in summer and warmer in winter. Forests cool by transpiring (蒸发). If there's no water, there's no cooling. Drought can kill trees fast, but trees have many ways of dealing with it, and Wohlleben sets them out. As a species, we have survived many climatic changes by changing our behavior — and that's how trees survive, too. Trees learn from their past harms and produce younger ones programmed with those lessons. They regulate their growth by changing the rate at which they drip (点滴)-feed them with sugar solution through root networks.
Deciduous (落叶的) forests in particular remove greenhouse gases effectively as long as they live. Cut them down and burn them and you're releasing carbon dioxide not just from the wood, but also from the forest floor. Deciduous trees are not "harvest-ready" at 200 years: they are teenagers. We must interrogate comforting expressions such as "renewable energy", and learn the real cost of our toilet paper.
If we don't learn to do nothing about trees, they will eventually be alone anyway—but without us. Wohlleben brilliantly and readably shows us how urgent and how hard it is to do nothing.
8．What does Wohlleben suggest for carbon capture
A．Fight climate change. B．Leave trees alone.
C．Save the earth. D．Change forestry species.
9．How do trees survive the drought
A．They slow their growth. B．They lose all their leaves.

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇书评，作者评论了彼得·沃勒本的书《树的隐秘生活》，呼吁人们尊重自然，尤其是树木的自然生长过程，反对过度干预森林管理，并强调树木在应对气候变化中的重要作用。作者建议将埃隆·马斯克提供的碳捕获奖金授予提出"顺应自然，不干预树木"理念的彼得·沃莱本（Peter Wohlleben），因为他的著作《树的隐秘生活》揭示了树木的社会性和它们在应对气候变化中的潜力。作者认为，树木通过自身的适应机制能够应对气候变化，而人类的过度干预往往适得其反。此外，作者还强调了落叶林在吸收温室气体方面的有效性，并警告砍伐和焚烧森林会释放大量二氧化碳，加剧气候变化。最后，作者呼吁人们重新审视"可再生能源"等看似舒适的说法，了解我们日常行为（如使用卫生纸）的真实环境成本，并学会在树木问题上"无为而治"。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和推理判断两个题型的考查，是一篇竖屏，通读全文，理解文章大意，阅读题目后返回原文阅读并找出与题目相对应的内容，仔细核对，选择符合原文原意的答案，完成后再次阅读并检查。
8．细节理解题。根据第一段中的"Elon Musk has offered a prize of $100m for the best carbon capture proposal." 埃隆·马斯克为最佳碳捕获方案提供了1亿美元的奖金；"The money should go to Peter Wohlleben"钱应该给彼得·沃勒本；以及"Wohlleben's idea is this: do nothing about trees." Wohlleben的想法是：只有树木。可知，对与碳捕获，Wohlleben建议仅留下树木。故选B。
9．细节理解题。根据第三段中的"As a species, we have survived many climatic changes by changing our behaviour — and that's how trees survive, too."作为一个物种，我们通过改变我们的行为在许多气候变化中幸存下来——这也是树木生存的方式；以及"They regulate their growth by changing the rate at which they drip (点滴)-feed them with sugar solution through root networks."它们通过改变滴水的速度来调节自己的生长——通过根部网络给它们喂食糖溶液。可知，树木通过减慢生长速度度过干旱时期。故选A。
10．推理判断题。根据第三段中的"Trees learn from their past harms and produce younger ones programmed with those lessons. They regulate their growth by changing the rate at which they drip (点滴)-feed them with sugar solution through root networks."树木从过去的伤害中吸取教训，并根据这些教训生出更年轻的树。它们通过改变滴水的速度来调节自己的生长——通过根部网络给它们喂食糖溶液。可知，树木可以自己调节生长。故选B。
11．推理判断题。根据第一段中的"The money should go to Peter Wohlleben, whose book The Hidden Life of Trees was the most encouraging blockbuster of 2015."奖金应该颁给彼得·沃勒本，他的书《树的隐秘生活》是2015年最令人鼓舞的大片；以及第二段中的"The Hidden Life of Trees argued that trees are social. It shows that they can be our saviours."《树的隐秘生活》认为树是社会性的。这表明他们可以成为我们的救世主；再结合下文内容可知，本文评论了彼得·沃勒本的书《树的隐秘生活》，是为了推荐这本书。故选D。
（2025·江城模拟）A research team, led by Dr. Lee Seung-Hee, Associate Director of the Institute for Basic Science (IBS), has uncovered a fundamental principle of how the brain prioritizes vision and hearing differently depending on whether we are still or in motion. The study provides new insights into the brain's sensory decision-making processes and how they adapt to behavioral states.
In daily life, we constantly process visual and auditory (听觉的) information to explore the world. For example, when watching a movie, the brain integrates images and sounds to create a unified experience. However, during movement-such as walking down a busy street-the brain may prioritize visual input over sound to avoid obstacles.
Until now, the neural mechanisms (神经机制) behind this sensory prioritization remained unclear. Understanding this process is particularly important for individuals with sensory processing disorders. such as autism or schizophrenia, where the brain. may grapple with integrating sensory information effectively. By uncovering how the brain naturally shifts between sensory inputs, researchers hope to pave the way for better treatment for these conditions.
To investigate this phenomenon, the research. team conducted behavioral experiments on mice, monitoring real-time brain activity using miniature microscopes and optogenetics, a technique that uses light to control neurons. The mice were trained to respond to both visual and auditory cues while either stationary or running on a treadmill.
The results revealed a striking shift in sensory reliance: When stationary, the ice relied more on auditory cues to make decisions. When moving, their brains prioritized visual input. This suggests that the brain dynamically adjusts sensory weighting based on behavioral context. Sound may be more useful for detecting nearby events when still, whereas vision becomes critical during movement for spatial navigation and stability.
This discovery could have important implications for understanding and treating sensory processing disorders, where the brain may struggle to properly prioritize sensory inputs. Dr. Lee explained, "Our findings demonstrate how the brain flexibly shifts between vision and hearing depending on behavior. Understanding this natural adaptability could lead to improved treatments for those with sensory integration difficulties."
12．What was the main focus of Dr. Lee's research
A．How behavior boosts the brain function.
B．How physical state affects sensory focus.
C．How information is processed by the brain.
D．How sensory input guides decision-making.
13．What do the underlined words "grapple with" in paragraph 3 probably mean
A．Result in. B．Put off. C．Struggle with. D．Speed up.
14．How did the researchers investigate sensory prioritization in mice
A．By tracking their brain activity during sensory tasks.
B．By monitoring their adaptation to light and sound.
C．By recording their instant reactions to movement.
D．By comparing corresponding human behavior.
15．What is the significance of the research
A．Advancing treatments for sensory processing disorders.
B．Clarifying debates about humans' adaptability.
C．Enhancing the brain's processing efficiency.
D．Developing sensory integration techniques.
【答案】12．B

Symbols of Animals in Chinese and Western Cultures
In Chinese and Western cultures, animals　36． 　 (acquire) different meanings over time. There are some elements　37． 　 represent one thing to one culture, and something else entirely to another.
The word "bat" in Chinese ("fu") has the same　38． 　 (pronounce) as the Chinese character meaning "luck, happiness and fortune". Therefore, images of bats are often symbols of good luck in China. They are also appreciated　39． 　 their ability to catch insects.　40． 　 , in Western cultures, bats are often associated with darkness.
Due to their unpleasant appearance and call, owls (猫头鹰) were for long considered symbols of bad luck in China. In consequence, owls were used in poetry　41． 　( represent) evil. A poem in the Classic of Poetry, for example, was written in the tone of a　42． 　 (frighten) bird being bullied by an owl.

Yet in Western cultures, the owl is often regarded as　43． 　 symbol of wisdom. In the popular Harry Potter series, the owl is an　44． 　 (extreme) wise and helpful bird.
These differences mirror each culture's distinct background. By exploring these, a deeper understanding of the rich cultures around the world can　45． 　 (unlock).
【答案】36．have acquired；37．which/that；38．pronunciation；39．for；40．However；41．to represent；42．frightened；43．a；44．extremely；45．be unlocked
【知识点】说明文；社会文化类
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，探讨了中西方文化中动物符号所代表的不同含义。文章通过对比蝙蝠和猫头鹰在中西方文化中的象征意义，展示了文化背景如何影响人们对动物的理解和解读。蝙蝠在中国文化中常被视为好运的象征，而在西方文化中则常与黑暗联系在一起；猫头鹰在中国文化中曾被视为不祥之物，而在西方文化中则常被视为智慧的象征。这些差异反映了不同文化的独特背景，通过探索这些差异，可以更深入地理解世界各地的丰富文化。
【点评】考查语法填空，本题考点涉及时态，定语从句，名词，介词，副词，非谓语动词，形容词，冠词，语态以及固定搭配等多个知识点的考查，是一篇文化类阅读，要求考生在理解细节信息的基础上，进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系，并结合相关语法知识，进行分析推理，从而写出正确的单词形式。
36．句意：在中西方文化中，随着时间的推移，动物有了不同的含义。acquire"获得，得到"，此处是谓语动词。根据时间状语over time可知，此处表示在一段时间内动物获得了不同的含义，强调从过去到现在的变化，所以用现在完成时，且主语animals是复数。故填have acquired。
37．句意：有些元素在一种文化中代表一种东西，而在另一种文化中则完全是另一种东西。 represent one thing to one culture 是限制性定语从句，先行词elements指物，在从句中作主语，所以用关系代词that/which引导。故填which/that。
38．句意："bat"这个词在汉语中（"蝠"）与汉字"幸运、幸福和财富"的发音相同。 pronounce "发音"，动词。the same后接名词，pronounce的名词是 pronunciation，have the same pronunciation as"和……有相同的发音"。故填pronunciation。
39．句意：它们还因其捕捉昆虫的能力而受到赞赏。"be appreciated for...固定短语，"因…… 而被赞赏"，此处表示蝙蝠因能捕捉昆虫而被赞赏。故填for。
40．句意：然而，在西方文化中，蝙蝠通常与黑暗联系在一起。上文提到在中国蝙蝠象征好运，下文说在西方文化中蝙蝠常与黑暗联系在一起，前后是转折关系，且空后有逗号，所以用副词however，位于句首，句首字母大写，表示"然而"。故填However。
41．句意：因此，猫头鹰在诗歌中被用来代表邪恶。"use sth. to do sth."是固定用法，所以此处为动词不定式形式作目的状语。故填to represent。
42．句意：例如，《诗经》中的一首诗是用一只受惊的鸟被猫头鹰欺负的语气写的。 frighten "使害怕"，动词。空后bird是名词，需要用形容词修饰，frightened意为"受惊的，害怕的"，a frightened bird表示"一只受惊的鸟"。故填frightened。
43．句意：然而在西方文化中，猫头鹰通常被视为智慧的象征。symbol"象征"是可数名词，此处是泛指，应用不定冠词。a symbol of.."一种……的象征"。故填a。
44．句意：在流行的哈利波特系列中，猫头鹰是一种非常聪明和乐于助人的鸟。 extreme "非常的，极端的"，形容词。此处修饰形容词wise，需要用副词修饰，extreme的副词形式是extremely。故填extremely。
45．句意：通过探索这些，可以更深入地了解世界各地丰富的文化。 unlock "解锁"，动词，是谓语动词，与主语a deeper understanding of the rich cultures around the world之间是被动关系，且情态动词"can后接动词原形，所以用be unlocked，表示"被解锁，被了解"。故填be unlocked。

六、第二节（满分25分）
47．（2025·江城模拟）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。
It was June, the last day of school. My class of first-graders was feverishly anticipating their summer vacation. To add a joyful flavor, I had some balloons brought in, but for me, this holiday was bittersweet. I'd just moved to this city and couldn't afford to fly back to accompany Dad. He was desperately missing me, for it was his first summer without me.
When switching off the light on my way out, I noticed the balloons near the window. Unsure what to do with them, I grabbed the thirteen strings and stuffed them into the backseat of my car. Their rainbow of colors lifted my spirits and gratefully, I didn't feel so alone.
As the city was still foreign to me, I decided to go for a drive and soon found myself winding down a stretch of road where the trees overhead covered each other. The branches reminded me of two friends stretching out to greet each other. Before long, a retirement home appeared. It was a place with a feeling of forgottenness and I spotted a man sitting alone in the shade outside.
I felt a sudden urge to pull in. But the balloons in my backseat blocked my view-then I knew what to do with them. Opening the door and grabbing one of the strings, I waved to the man, and he smiled. His name was Daniel and he was about Dad's age. When I handed him the balloon, he grinned (咧嘴笑)，"Thanks. It gives a little color to my life." While tying it to his chair, he looked happier than when I arrived. So I smiled, "You're welcome, Daniel. Perhaps I'll see you again sometime."
Unexpectedly, he replied, "Perhaps, but probably not. Visitors are always welcome, but rarely come." His words forced me to slide over an old chair next to his. Then we began chatting about our lives and his voice always reminded me of Dad. I'd thought it would be boring talking with a stranger. But it wasn't; it was enlightening — I had been feeling lonely, and so had Daniel, and so had the residents in the retirement home.

【答案】Then I remembered the other twelve balloons in the backseat. An idea sparked. I hurried to the car and returned with the vibrant bunch. Knocking on each resident's door, I offered a balloon and a smile. Faces lit up like children receiving candies. An elderly lady tied hers to a walker, murmuring "Just like my granddaughter's birthday." Soon the courtyard bloomed with floating rainbows. Laughter echoed through the once-silent corridors. As twilight painted the sky, I sat surrounded by storytellers sipping lemonade. Their wrinkled hands patted mine gratefully. For the first time since moving here, loneliness dissolved like sugar in warm tea.
Over the next six months, I visited Daniel often. We planted sunflowers by his window, their golden faces tracking the sun like old friends nodding hello. He taught me chess moves from his army days, and I read him newspaper crosswords. Gradually, my students joined our visits, crafting paper cranes with nimble fingers while veterans shared wartime stories. By Christmas, the home buzzed with cookie-baking aromas and carol singers. When Dad finally visited in December, he found me surrounded by silver-haired "adopted grandparents". His eyes glistened as Daniel shook his hand, "Your daughter's brought spring to our winter."
【知识点】文字式记叙文；开放性作文；读后续写
【解析】【分析】本篇书面表达是读后续写。通过阅读文章可知，本文讲述了作者因无法回家陪伴父亲而感到孤独，在离校途中偶遇退休老人Daniel，通过送气球与他交流，最终收获温暖与陪伴的故事。段落续写：①由第一段首句内容"然后我想起了后座的另外十二个气球。"可知，第一段可描写作者利用这些气球逐一拜访养老院里的每一位老人，将气球作为礼物送给他们，观察到这一简单举动带给老人们的喜悦变化。②由第二段首句内容"在接下来的六个月里，我经常去看望Daniel。"可知，第二段可描写作者与Daniel之间相处日常，以及更多人加入看望老人的活动，养老院变得温馨，父亲来访时的感动场景。写作时注意准确运用时态，上下文意思连贯，符合逻辑关系，尽量使用自己熟悉的单词句式，同时也要注意使用高级词汇和高级句型使文章显得更有档次。
【点评】该续写续写通过细腻的情感描写和生动的场景刻画，将原本孤独的个体故事升华为跨越代际的温暖联结。作者成功将个人情感困境转化为社会关怀的叙事，通过气球、向日葵、纸鹤等象征物构建诗意空间。特别值得称赞的是对老年群体精神需求的精准捕捉——他们渴望的不仅是物质关怀，更是被需要、被倾听的存在价值。这种超越血缘的亲情联结，恰是对现代社会原子化生存状态的有力回应。【高分句型1】As twilight painted the sky, I sat surrounded by storytellers sipping lemonade. (运用了As引导的时间状语从句)；【高分句型2】Gradually, my students joined our visits, crafting paper cranes with nimble fingers while veterans shared wartime stories. (运用了现在分词短语作状语和while引导的时间状语从句)。
