一、阅读理解
Fall is one of the best times to visit Europe because of the vast variety of interests the season can cater to. If you’re ready for a different take on Europe this fall, we’ve got ideas.
● Alentejo, Portugal
The Douro Valley, known for the production of port wine, is the obvious autumn choice in Portugal. But head instead to the Alentejo region, Portugal’s rural heartland. Here, you can see Roman remains in its UNESCO-protected capital Evora, go on a road trip through peaceful countryside planted with cork trees and olive groves, and enjoy the wild coast.
● Romania
Spending Halloween at “Dracula’s castle” is just one of the reasons to consider visiting Romania in autumn, which offers volunteer trips that might see you helping conservation efforts with rescued bears in Brasov. In addition to autumn’s changing leaves, the season marks the start of all kinds of foodie events.
● Thessaloniki, Greece
Fall is considered a great time to visit Thessaloniki, Greece’s gateway city to the Balkans, not for its beaches but for its rich Jewish history. The city is also known for its flavorful and diverse food scenes. Travelers can embark on an adventure, enjoying local delicacies, including bougatsa, loukoumades, and fresh seafood from the Aegean Sea.
● Malta
The Mediterranean archipelago of Malta — consisting of three inhabited islands, Malta, Gozo and Comino — is another summertime oven that becomes far more pleasant to visit once temperatures drop. Malta is always popular with scuba divers who explore the many World War II shipwrecks lying offshore, as well as the Blue Hole — a 50-foot-deep tube-like rock formation filled by the sea, with an archway and cave at its bottom.
1．Who would be attracted to Alentejo and Thessaloniki
A．History enthusiasts. B．Beach lovers. C．Foodies. D．Environmentalists.
2．What do we know about Malta from the text
A．It’s inhabited by various wildlife. B．It’s extremely hot in the summer.

3．What's the purpose of writing the text
A．To explain why autumn is a good season to visit Europe.
B．To recommend European destinations for autumn escapes.
C．To provide a guide on some unique tours around Europe.
D．To compare autumn travel with travel during other seasons.
One wet November evening in the late 1960s, a married couple named Maurice and Maralyn Bailey — he a hot-metal typesetter, she a tax officer — hit on the idea of escaping their dull, suburban lives by sailing to New Zealand. With the proceeds from the sale of their Derby bungalow, they bought a 31-foot Bermuda boat, which they named Auralyn (a combination of their names). They finally set sail across the Atlantic in June 1972 — having decided against buying a radio transmitter (信号发射机), as Maurice wanted to sail “by his wits and the stars”.
All went well for the first nine months, but then one morning, 300 miles east of the Galápagos, a 40-foot whale rose up under their boat, and cracked a hole in its hull. As Sophie Elmhirst relates in her “superb” debut, Maurice and Maralyn, the couple grabbed a few essentials and climbed onto an inflatable raft (充气筏) from which they watched Auralyn being “silently swallowed”. On this inadequate vessel — too small for either of them to lie down in — they would spend the next 117 days.
At the heart of Maurice and Maralyn is an “astonishing” tale of endurance. Once the couple’s food ran out, they survived in the raft by eating raw sea turtles and small sharks, caught with a fishing rod made from safety pins and cord. Dysentery (痢疾), dehydration and near-starvation followed. While Maurice, a “glass-half-empty type of man”, quietly resigned himself to dying, Maralyn remained optimistic, which sparked Maurice’s will to live. The couple were eventually picked up by a South Korean ship passing by.
Along with its “man-versus-the-elements survival aspect”, Elmhirst’s book is “also a love story”, said Francesca Angelini in The Sunday Times. She traces the couple’s marriage — both how it led them into their Pacific adventure, and how it was changed by what they went through. It’s a remarkable story that had been all but forgotten.
4．What’s the meaning of the underlined word “proceeds” in paragraph 1
A．Purchases. B．Expenses.
C．Gains. D．Contracts.
5．What do we know about the couple’s sail
A．They used a radio transmitter for the first nine months.
B．They abandoned the raft damaged by a whale.
C．Starvation followed when the boat sank.
D．Survival skills contributed to their survival.
6．What was Maurice like according to paragraph 3
A．Pessimistic. B．Ambitious.
C．Modest. D．Unconfident.
7．What kind of writing is the text
A．A news report. B．A book review.
C．A journal. D．A biography.
King Shahryar, betrayed (背叛) by his wife, decides to marry a new woman each night and have her killed by morning to ensure he is never betrayed again. Scheherazade volunteers to marry the king. Each evening, she begins an engaging story but stops at dawn, leaving him eager for more. Night after night, she keeps him attracted with new tales, and over 1,001 nights, the king falls in love with her and abandons his cruel ways.
This ancient tale from One Thousand and One Nights highlights storytelling’s impact. Our recent research shows that strong storytelling skills can dramatically improve someone’s well-being.
At its core, storytelling helps people find meaning from life’s chaos. Studies show we shape our identities by turning experiences into personal stories. Skilled storytellers excel at two key skills: they need to connect events logically and they must learn to see the world through the eyes of their characters, understanding the “why” of what drives people. Applying these two skills to their own lives, skillful storytellers use the first to identify and pursue what gives their life meaning, while the second develops a mindset that prioritizes the “why” behind their actions over just the “how”.
To illustrate this point, we conducted studies with 800 participants. We measured storytelling ability through self-reports, friend evaluations and expert reviews on lab experiments where each participant told one story about himself and the other with three given random words. In addition to these assessments of storytelling skills, we asked participants questions to get a sense of how meaningful they found life and whether they approached decisions with a “why” mindset rather than a “how” mindset.
Results consistently linked storytelling skills to stronger life meaning and goal clarity. Personality also mattered: people open to new experiences collected more interesting life stories, while shy people used storytelling to balance out their limited social interaction.
A strong “why” mindset connects with reduced stress and extended life. Storytelling also builds social connections. By helping people express their purpose and build relationships, stories may indirectly strengthen both mental and physical health.
Storytelling workshops, now popular globally, may do more than teach communication they could help participants redefine their life’s direction.
8．Why does the author mention Scheherazade’s stories in the first paragraph
A．To show Scheherazade’s cleverness. B．To entertain readers with a classic tale.
C．To introduce the topic of storytelling. D．To compare ancient and modern stories.
9．What does the “why” mindset primarily focus on
A．Completing daily tasks efficiently. B．Avoiding stressful situations.
C．Memorizing random life events. D．Understanding life’s purpose.
10．What were participants asked to do in the lab experiment
A．Share personal interests in a group.
B．Tell a story with words provided.
C．Reflect on the “why” behind their actions.
D．Connect events into a meaningful story.
11．Which can be the best title for the text
A．Scheherazade’s Survival in an Ancient Tale
B．How People’s Storytelling Abilities Develop
C．Living a Meaningful Life through Storytelling
D．Why Shy People Attend Storytelling Workshops
Nietzsche (尼采) was wrong: When you gaze long enough into the abyss (深渊), the abyss does not gaze back into you. Instead, the cosmic void (空洞) remains silent, relentless and frightening in its vastness.
When looking at the vast universe, there is a temptation (诱惑) to look at our tiny world with nihilism, feeling that our great achievements amount to nothing, that our history fails to leave a mark, and that our concerns and anxieties are pointless.
I’m a cosmologist, the kind of scientist who studies the origin, history and evolution of the universe. I have spent my career researching one special part of the universe called cosmic voids: the vast expanses of nothing that stretch between the galaxies. Most of our universe is void — somewhere around 80 percent of the volume of the cosmos is made of nothing at all. I have spent years working to understand what cosmic voids teach us about the wider universe and its dowry. And in the course of my studies, I have learned to reject that temptation.
It’s true that Earth is neither large nor long-lived, but that is only one way of measuring pared with the cosmic voids, there is something special happening on our planet. Earth is still the only known place in the entire universe where conscious beings raise their curious eyes to the sky and wonder. Earth is the only known place where humans can exist. It is the only known place where laughter, love, anger and joy exist. The only known place where we can find dance, music, and art. Our disagreements and all the beautiful complexities that make us human aren’t meaningless. The experiences in our lives are special because they will never happen in the empty expanse of most of the universe.
The same lessons that cosmic voids teach us are found in the voids we encounter in our own lives. The presence of voids guarantees the opposite; they create contrast; they are full of potential. The pain we feel from loss is the last reminder of the gift of a life deeply loved. The silence before a performance is full of electric expectation. Our choice to ignore stressful news is necessary to allow us to focus on what truly matters.
Artists have long understood the power of the void. The 12th-century poet Saigyo noted that the pauses between raindrops were as important as the drops themselves. The famed architect Rem celebrated the utility of negative spaces, proclaiming, “Where there is nothing, everything is possible.”
The universe won’t do anything for us except give us the freedom to exist. It is our job to fill the universe with meaning and purpose.
12．What does the underlined word “nihilism” in Paragraph 2 mean
A．Hope. B．Admiration. C．Emptiness. D．Purpose.
13．Why does the author reject the temptation
A．Because he is a cosmologist who believes science.
B．Because he thinks Earth is special as it is small and short-lived.
C．Because he thinks human experiences differ from those in voids.
D．Because he thinks Earth is the only place for human experiences.
14．What's the author’s purpose in writing Paragraph 5
A．To reflect on how voids enrich our lives.
B．To show how pain can be created from loss.
C．To claim that voids serve as obstacles to human growth.
D．To argue emotional voids should be filled for more significance.
15．Which would be the best title for the passage
A．Listening to the Abyss: Nietzsche Revisited
B．Questioning the Belief in Human Significance
C．Beyond the Stars: The Science of Cosmic Voids
D．Finding Meaning in Vast Silence of the Universe
The Art of Giving Compliments (称赞)
Compliments create a positive impact, uplifting both the giver and receiver. Let’s start lifting each other up more often with encouraging words.
One important aspect of giving compliments is to acknowledge the small things in life. You don’t need to wait around for some big achievement to offer a compliment to somebody. If it’s something really obvious, they’ve probably been complimented on it plenty of times before. 16 What may seem unimportant to you might mean a lot to somebody else. Like somebody’s jacket Let them know! Impressed with someone’s handwriting Tell them.
Additionally, when giving compliments, it’s crucial to be specific. If you want to encourage positive change in someone, give them specific compliments. The more specific your compliments are, the more likely they are to continue the positive behavior. This helps them identify what they’re doing right. For this reason, children who grew up with parents who gave them a lot of general praise, “You’re so smart!” or, “You’re so special!” tend to feel lost in adulthood. 17
Another key element in the art of complimenting is sincerity. Compliments that are clearly insincere won’t win you any points. 18 If a person knows you’re lying, that will destroy their trust in you and de-value your future compliments. So, always keep in mind that honesty is the best policy when it comes to giving compliments.
19 Non-present compliments are those you yourself offer about someone else when they’ re not around. Repeating them always works wonders. For example, I was recently talking to my brother about working on the blog. I mentioned how I really admire Kate’s determination to finish an article on a tight deadline, even if it means staying up all night to do it. When I got home, I told her about that conversation. 20
A．Kate thanked us sincerely.
B．Kate said it really meant a lot.
C．In fact, they’ll have the opposite effect.
D．So offer your admiration for the small stuff.
E．At-present compliments are equally important.
F．They haven’t learned to recognize their talents.
G．Repeating non-present compliments is also valuable.
二、完形填空
Every New Year’s Day, I have a little tradition. I buy a really nice 21 with beautiful pictures, motivational quotes and stickers to 22 appointments and events.

三、语法填空
阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
March 14 is right around the comer, and math learners know 36 that means. It’s Pi Day, a holiday honoring one of math’s most famous constants (常量): pi.
The number pi, or π, is equal to the circumference (圆周长) of a circle 37 (divide) by the circle’s diameter (直径). That comes out to about 3.14159. This is true for circles of all sizes, from 38 (penny) to pizzas to planets. Pi’s value is often rounded to 3.14. That’s why Pi Day 39 (celebrate) on March 14. It’s also why one Earth-sized planet orbiting another star every 3.14 days is nicknamed “Pi Earth.”
But the exact value of pi is 40 (actual) impossible to write out. Last year, a 41 (power) computer calculated pi to record-breaking 62.8 trillion (万亿) figures. And in 2005, one 23-year-old used clever mental tricks to recite nearly 68,000 of those figures from memory. No one, though, will ever get to 42 end of pi.
Historians aren’t sure when people first 43 (discover) the concept of pi. But it’s been known in some form 44 almost 4,000 years. Ancient Greeks and Babylonians knew estimates of it. The Egyptians may have used pi 45 (build) the pyramids. And still today, pi is used in just about all math involving circles.

五、书面表达
47．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。
When Judy was younger, she thought that her grandmother was the best cook in the entire world. Every time she visited her grandmother with her family she would be treated to lots of delicious food — buttery shortbread cookies and plates of crispy cheese crackers to snack on; piles of pancakes for breakfast; golden fried chickens and thick, hearty soups for dinner. No one would ever leave hungry or sad when they visited grandmother’s house.
But, as Judy grew older, she started to notice that her grandmother had begun to cook less and less.The complicated meals grew simpler, and the visits to her grandmother’s beautiful life-filled home grew fewer. Eventually, Samantha’s parents told her the truth: her grandmother had arthritis (关节炎) in her hands, which meant it was too painful for her to cook the elegant dishes.
“Why don’t we visit grandmother and just get food from a restaurant ” she asked. It seemed to her too cruel just to visit when her grandmother could cook for them and to pay no visit when her grandmother was sick.
Her parents smiled, appreciating their daughter’s kind heart, and told her they had suggested this but the idea had been rejected, “Your grandmother loves cooking. It saddens her to be reminded that she can’t share her food any more because of her illness.” Judy told her parents she understood, but she silently determined to find a way to help.
A few weeks later, Judy stopped by her grandmother’s house to deliver some groceries. As she carefully put away the boxes and cans in the kitchen cabinets, Judy discovered something she had never seen before. Sitting on one of the highest shelves was a small wooden box. Her curiosity aroused, Judy took the box down from the shelf and opened the lid.
Inside were hundreds of index cards and on each one was a hand-written recipe (食谱)! Her hands shaking with excitement, Judy flipped through the cards. She recognized all of her grandmother’s classic recipes — the cookies, the pancakes, the soups. They were all here!
注意：(1) 续写词数应为150个左右；(2) 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Judy knew now what she would do to cheer her grandmother up.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Judy smiled at her grandmother, who was looking at the scene in surprise.

【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了称赞的艺术，包括关注小事、具体称赞、真诚称赞以及重复非当面称赞的重要性。
【详解】16．由上文“One important aspect of giving compliments is to acknowledge the small things in life. You don’t need to wait around for some big achievement to offer a compliment to somebody. If it’s something really obvious, they’ve probably been complimented on it plenty of times before. (称赞的一个重要方面是认可生活中的小事。你不需要等到别人取得什么大成就才给予称赞。如果某件事真的很明显，他们可能已经被称赞过很多次了。)”可知，上文提到要认可生活中的小事并给予称赞，本空应承接上文，进一步强调要对小事表示赞赏。D选项“So offer your admiration for the small stuff. (所以要对小事表示你的赞赏。)”能承接上文，符合题意。故选D。
17．由上文“Additionally, when giving compliments, it’s crucial to be specific. If you want to encourage positive change in someone, give them specific compliments. The more specific your compliments are, the more likely they are to continue the positive behavior. This helps them identify what they’re doing right. For this reason, children who grew up with parents who gave them a lot of general praise, “You’re so smart!” or, “You’re so special!” tend to feel lost in adulthood. (此外，在给予称赞时，具体性至关重要。如果你想鼓励某人做出积极的改变，就给他们具体的称赞。你的称赞越具体，他们就越有可能继续积极的行为。这有助于他们明确自己做得对的地方。出于这个原因，那些成长在父母经常给予一般性称赞，如“你真聪明！”或“你真特别！”的家庭中的孩子，在成年后往往会感到迷茫。)”可知，上文提到一般性称赞会让孩子在成年后感到迷茫，本空应承接上文，说明这些孩子迷茫的原因。F选项“They haven’t learned to recognize their talents.

【分析】本文是说明文。文章介绍了数学里面最著名的常量之一：圆周率π。作为一个无限不循环小数，有人挑战记忆它的巨长的数字，但是无人能背到它的最后一个数字。它的作用很大，被运用到很多领域之中。
【详解】36．考查宾语从句。句意：3月14日即将到来，数学学习者知道这意味着什么。分析句子可知，know“知道”后接宾语从句，需要使用关系代词what引导，在从句中作主语。故填what。
37．考查过去分词。句意：π等于圆的周长除以圆的直径。分析句子可知，此处divide“除以”需要使用过去分词形式，作the circumstance of a circle“圆的周长”的后置定语，即被除以直径的圆周长。故填divided。
38．考查名词复数。句意：这适用于各种大小的圆圈，从便士到披萨，再到行星。分析句子可知，此处无表示单数的量词或冠词修饰的可数名词penny“便士”需要填写复数形式pennies。故填pennies。
39．考查被动语态。句意：这就是为什么在3月14日庆祝圆周率日。分析句子可知，此处动词celebrate“庆祝”作表语从句的谓语动词，使用一般现在时的被动语态表示“被庆祝”。故填is celebrated。
40．考查副词。句意：但π的确切值实际上不可能写出。分析句子可知，此处形容词actual“实际的”需要使用副词形式，修饰后面的形容词impossible“不可能”。故填actually。
41．考查形容词。句意：去年，一台强大的计算机计算出了破纪录的62.8万亿数字。分析句子可知，此处名词power“力量”需要改为形容词powerful “强大的”作定语修饰computer“电脑”。故填powerful。
42．考查定冠词。句意：然而，没有人会算到圆周率的最后一个数字。分析句子可知，此处需要添加定冠词the表示特指圆周率这个数字的终点。故填the。
43．考查动词时态。句意：历史学家不确定人们何时首次发现圆周率的概念。分析句子可知，此处discover“发现”作宾语从句的谓语动词，与主语people构成主动关系，且是过去发生的事情，故使用一般过去时。故填discovered。
44．考查介词。句意：但它已经以某种形式被知道了近4000年。分析句子可知，此处时间状语almost 4,000 years“将近4,000年”表示持续的时间，使用介词for连接符合语法规则。故填for。
45．考查不定式。句意：埃及人可能使用了圆周率修筑金字塔。分析句子可知，动词build“修建”需要使用不定式，表示使用圆周率的目的。故填to build。

47．【答案】One possible version:
Judy knew now what she would do to cheer her grandmother up. She searched through the box of cards until she found her grandmother’s recipe for pancakes — everyone’s favorite. Then, moving quietly so that she wouldn’t disturb her grandmother in the next room, she began to gather the ingredients and cook her first pancake. As the wonderful smell of fresh pancakes began to fill the kitchen, Judy smiled. She couldn’t cook any of the more complicated dishes, but pancakes were always a wonderful treat. There came a soft sound from the door to the kitchen. It was her grandmother.
Judy smiled at her grandmother, who was looking at the scene in surprise. “Cooking food for someone is a way to say I love you,” Judy chuckled but was shocked to see tears glistening in the corners of her grandmother’s eyes. Her grandmother hurried to reassure her these were tears of joy. As they sat down to enjoy their plates of pancakes together, her grandmother offered to teach Judy how to cook the rest of the elegant dishes in the recipe box. Cooking together is, after all, just as much of an expression of love as cooking for someone.

【详解】1. 段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“Judy现在知道该怎么做才能让祖母高兴起来了”可知，第一段可描写Judy找到了一道菜的食谱，跟着食谱做菜，享受烹饪的愉快，然后祖母出现，发现了Judy在做菜。
②由第二段首句内容“Judy微笑着看着祖母，她的祖母正惊讶地看着这一幕”可知，第二段可描写Judy向祖母解释自己在做什么，祖母深受感动，然后两人一起享用这道菜，祖母还提出要教Judy做更多的菜肴。
