M: Hello, I’m Maxim Vengerov, and I’m very happy to share with you my connection with Open Tchaikovsky Competition. It was June 1986 when I came to Moscow to participate in Open Tchaikovsky Competition at the age of 10 from Chelyabinsk. This was actually the turning point of my life. Then I attended a world music festival in Berlin. And it was interesting to say that a kid made his breakthrough already at the age of 10. And that was me. Now as a judge of the competition, I can see clearly the huge challenges facing the musicians in the competition. Where else can you see young players playing within ten days classical works and Russian traditional music before coming to the final stage As a musician, it’s important to give maximum attention and time to your own reflections of your own feelings. So, what I’m really looking for in the competition is to meet someone who can touch me musically. I want to see the seed, at least the seed of the great tree that can grow. I would go for this violinist. I would go for this musician.

第一节
A
【文章大意】 这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了南美洲大陆的一些海滩。
21.B　推理判断题。根据Sancho Beach部分中“…but it is difficult to access. It can only be reached by boat or by climbing down the rocky hillsides on each end…”可知,只能乘船或从两端的岩石山坡上爬下来才能进入Sancho海滩,由此推测是因其位置独特而难以进入,故选B。
22.B　细节理解题。根据Vichayito Beach部分中“Just a short distance from the waterfront town of Mancora, this lovely beach is often quiet and peaceful, offering some nice shallow water to swim in for little ones.”可知,Vichayito海滩最适合年幼的孩子游泳,故选B。
23.A　推理判断题。根据Copacabana Beach部分中“…but there are good spots for surfing and windsurfing. Various water activities make it a great beach.”和Jericoacoara Beach部分中“Located near the city centre, this beach is very popular among surfers thanks to its great waves.”可知,两者的共同点是都有水上运动;由此推知,它们对喜欢水上运动的人很有吸引力,故选A。
B
【文章大意】 这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了关于乌鸦计数能力的新研究,研究发现乌鸦的计数能力接近人类婴儿。
24.A　细节理解题。根据第二段关键句“The results show that crows have counting capacity near those of human babies, says lead study author Diana Liao, a researcher at the University of Tbingen in Germany.”可知,该研究结果表明,乌鸦的计数能力接近人类婴儿,由此可知,这项新研究是关于乌鸦的计数能力。故选A项。
25.A　细节理解题。根据第三段关键句“Instead, the birds count by controlling the number of vocalizations (声音) they produce to correspond to associated hints. This is similar to how young children count before learning symbolic numbers, Liao says.”可知,鸟类的计数方式类似于幼儿在学习符号数字之前的计数方式,幼儿数苹果正是幼儿在学习符号数字之前的计数方式,由此可知,作者在第三段中提到幼儿数苹果是为了阐明乌鸦是如何计数的。故选A项。
26.D　推理判断题。根据第四段内容“In the study, Liao and her colleagues presented the crows with randomly ordered hints, four of which were visual-coloured numbers that appeared on a touch screen. And four of them were auditory (听觉的), including sounds made by guitars and drums. Through trial and error, the birds had to figure out the correct number of calls to pair with each hint. If they got it right, they received a worm reward.” (在这项研究中,廖和她的同事们向乌鸦提供了随机排列的提示,其中四个是出现在触摸屏上的视觉彩色数字,还有四个是听觉的,包括吉他和鼓发出的声音。通过反复试验,鸟类必须找出与每个提示配对的正确叫声数量。如果它们做对了,它们会得到蠕虫奖励。)可知,乌鸦是通过将声音与视觉和听觉提示相匹配得到蠕虫奖励的。故选D项。
27.B　推理判断题。根据最后一段内容“Onur Güntürkün, a biopsychologist at Ruhr University Bochum in Germany, who was not involved in the research, says the new paper is ‘excellent’ even if the findings are ‘not unexpected’, given all that scientists already know about crows’ intelligence.” (德国波鸿鲁尔大学的生物心理学家Onur Güntürkün没有参与这项研究,他说,考虑到科学家们对乌鸦智力的所有了解,即使这些发现“并不出乎意料”,这篇新论文也是“优秀的”。)可知,这些发现并不出乎意料,由此可知,从最后一段可以推断出该研究结果与以前的发现一致。故选B项。
C
【文章大意】 这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述一项研究指出,描述自然世界的表情符号树状图并不平衡,脊椎动物被大量偏爱,而植物则几乎没有被提及,生物多样性的一些分支则完全缺失。
28.A　细节理解题。根据第二段“Researchers analysing the comprehensive Emojipedia (表情图标百科) found that vertebrate animals (脊椎动物) are heavily favoured over all other types of life, while plants are hardly featured at all—and some branches of biodiversity are missing entirely.”(研究人员在分析全面的表情图标百科网站时发现,脊椎动物在所有其他生物类型中被大量偏爱,而植物则几乎没有被提及,生物多样性的一些分支则完全缺失。)可知,描述自然的表情符号种类有限。故选A项。
29.B　推理判断题。根据文章第三段中的“‘The paper asks a virtual question,’ he says, noting that past research suggests that including emojis in social media posts can boost positive engagement. Some emojis could help to promote perception of certain biological classifications online, Wijeratne suggests.”(“这篇论文提出了一个实际的问题,”他说道,并指出过去的研究表明,在社交媒体帖子中加入表情符号可以促进积极参与。Wijeratne认为,某些表情符号可以帮助在线促进对某些生物分类的认知。)可以推断,作者暗示表情符号可以拓宽用户对物种的认识。故选B项。
30.A　词义猜测题。根据第五段的“But Lee doesn’t think any of these will make the cut soon. She even previously advocated for a starfish emoji, whose uses proved too limited.”(但Lee认为这些都不会很快投入使用。她甚至之前都主张使用海星表情符号,但它的用途被证明太有限了。)可知,Lee认为海星表情符号用途有限,所以认为它不会很快被使用,由此推断出make the cut意为“投入使用”。故选A项。
31.D　推理判断题。根据文章最后一段的“Despite the difficulty of expanding emojis, big advances in emoji biodiversity have already been made.”(尽管扩展表情符号很困难,但表情符号生物多样性已经取得了很大进展。)和Ficetola的话“‘My personal feeling is that we have a better understanding of biodiversity now, emojis included,’ he says. ‘Still, we can always do better.’”(“我个人的感觉是,我们现在对生物多样性有了更好的理解,包括表情符号,”他说,“不过,我们总是可以做得更好。”)可知,Ficetola对表情符号的扩展持乐观态度。故选D项。
D
【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文,主要探讨了人类舌头的独特性、舌乳头的差异及其潜在的研究价值,特别是在个性化饮食设计和营养健康方面的应用前景。
32.D　段落大意题。根据第二段“Averaging about just 10 cm in length, with only the front two-thirds visible, our tongues are covered in hundreds of small buds, known as papillae, some of which hold our taste buds, whereas others enable our tongues to sense texture (口感), friction, and touch.” (我们的舌头平均仅约有10厘米长,只有前三分之二可见,上面覆盖着数百个小芽,这些小芽被称为舌乳头,其中一些控制着我们的味蕾,而另一些则使我们的舌头能够感知口感、摩擦和触觉。)可知,第二段主要讲了舌乳头在食物感知中的重要作用。故选D。
33.B　细节理解题。根据第三段“But while the taste function of papillae has been well researched, far less is known about the differences in shape, size and patterns of papillae between different people. To investigate, Andreeva and her colleagues thus trained AI computer models to learn from thousands of microscopic scans of individual papillae, taken from silicone moulds (硅胶模型) of 15 people’s tongues, mapping their size, characteristics and location on the tongues’ surfaces.” (尽管舌乳头的味觉功能已得到充分研究,但关于不同人之间舌乳头在形状、大小和排列模式上的差异,我们了解得却很少。为了进行这项研究,Andreeva及其同事训练了人工智能计算机模型,让模型从15个人的舌头硅胶模型中获取的数千个舌乳头的微观扫描图像中学习,绘制出这些舌乳头在舌头表面的大小、特征和位置。)可知,Andreeva和她的同事研究的主要焦点是舌乳头的物理特征如何因人而异。故选B。
34.B　推理判断题。根据第四段“We were surprised to see how unique these tongue features are to each individual…”(我们惊讶地发现,每个人的舌头特征都是独一无二的……)可知,Rik Sarkar可能会同意的是舌乳头可以作为一种识别手段。故选B。
35.C　推理判断题。根据最后一段“Imagine being able to design individually targeted food according to the conditions of specific people and thus ensure they can get proper nutrition while enjoying their food…”(想象一下,能够根据特定人群的情况设计出有针对性的食物,从而确保他们在享受食物的同时获得适当的营养……)可知,这项研究可能通过使食物迎合消费者的需要来使食品生产商受益。故选C。
第二节

37.G　空格处是本段主旨句,由空后“This may be obvious for many—you may feel triggered owing to the stress of social events or gift-giving. But others may have a harder time detecting what is going on.”可知,本段主要讲的是要知道自己为什么感到紧张,G选项 (让我们从找出导致你强烈焦虑的原因开始。)概括了本段主旨,可作为主旨句,故选G。
38.E　空前“If it is money fueling the discomfort, let’s strategize how you can cut down the financial expectations. You can select a thoughtful low-cost decoration or a bunch of flowers.”提到了省钱的送礼物的方法,空格处也应该是关于送比较便宜的礼物的方法,E选项 (你也可以和你爱的人共度有意义的时光。)提到了你可以陪伴爱的人,这也是一种礼物,而且很省钱,承接上文,符合语境,故选E。

第二节
【思路点拨】 本文以人物为线索展开,讲述“我”对家附近的小森林充满了好奇心,但是妈妈总是提醒“我”不能独自进入森林。
【详解】
1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“然而,一天早上,好奇心战胜了我。”可知,本段可以写“我”被小森林里的一切所吸引,越走越远,然后就迷路了。
②由第二段首句内容“‘凯特 ’在夕阳的余晖笼罩下的小森林后面传来了母亲的声音。”可知,本段可以写妈妈找到“我”,“我”明白了父母建议的重要性以及其中的智慧。
2.续写线索:“我”进入小森林深处—迷路—哭泣、后悔—妈妈出现—“我”明白道理
One possible version:
However, curiosity got the better of me one morning. Ignoring my mother’s reminder(现在分词作状语), I slid into the forbidden world. How fascinating(感叹句)!Among various colourful flowers danced butterflies(全部倒装). With excitement, I chased after the graceful creatures, running deeper into the woods(现在分词作状语). Suddenly they flew over trees and disappeared. What was worse, I got lost! I rushed around, crying for help(现在分词作状语), frightened and helpless(形容词作状语), but in vain. I repeated the useless efforts until sunset. “If only I followed mum’s reminder(虚拟条件句)!” I curled up under a tree, in bitter regret and cried again.
“Kate ” Behind the trees covered by the rays of the setting sun came my mother’s voice. “Mum! I’m here!” Wild with joy, I rushed towards where the voice came from(宾语从句). Behind a tree appeared my mother(全部倒装). She dashed up, hugged me tight and checked whether I got hurt(宾语从句). “I’m so sorry! I should have appreciated your suggestion!” I burst into tears. Wiping tears from my muddy face(现在分词作状语), she repeated the reminders, which weren’t boring any more, but wise and affectionate, and were implanted in my life forever(定语从句).单元素养测评卷(五)

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A [2025·湖北武汉高二期中]
South America has a long and interesting coastline. When it comes to beaches, there are some excellent options to be found across the continent.
Sancho Beach
This beach is an amazing stretch of sand with peaceful waters. The clear waters are perfect for swimming but it is difficult to access. It can only be reached by boat or by climbing down the rocky hillsides on each end, so it isn’t particularly good for younger children or people who are physically challenged.
Vichayito Beach
Just a short distance from the waterfront town of Mancora, this lovely beach is often quiet and peaceful, offering some nice shallow water to swim in for little ones. A little further out, the waves pick up, making for fine surfing and windsurfing surroundings, while the charming village offers nice accommodation.
Copacabana Beach
The cold water here means it isn’t an ideal swimming location, but there are good spots for surfing and windsurfing. Various water activities make it a great beach. Visit early, especially in the busy tourist season, not only to avoid crowds, but also to gain admittance—visitors will be turned away once the park reaches peak capacity.
Jericoacoara Beach
Located near the city centre, this beach is very popular among surfers thanks to its great waves. It isn’t too rough to swim for experienced swimmers, although a slightly rocky seafloor means you should be careful. With large crowds of people, the best time to visit is sunset—arrive early to get a good viewing spot.

The rock group Counting Crows(乌鸦) were onto something when they chose their band name. Crows can indeed count, according to research published this week in Science.
The results show that crows have counting capacity near those of human babies, says lead study author Diana Liao, a researcher at the University of Tbingen in Germany. “We think this is the first time that this has been shown for any animal species,” she adds.
Crows do not appear to be capable of symbolic counting, where numbers serve as an exact representation. Instead, the birds count by controlling the number of vocalizations (声音) they produce to correspond to associated hints. This is similar to how young children count before learning symbolic numbers, Liao says. For example, a baby who is asked how many apples are on a tree may answer, “One, one, one.” The baby produces the number of speech sounds which agree with that of the apples, rather than just saying, “Three.”
In the study, Liao and her colleagues presented the crows with randomly ordered hints, four of which were visual-coloured numbers that appeared on a touch screen. And four of them were auditory (听觉的), including sounds made by guitars and drums. Through trial and error, the birds had to figure out the correct number of calls to pair with each hint. If they got it right, they received a worm reward.
After receiving about 180 training sessions, all of the crows were able to produce the correct number of vocalizations associated with the hints—a “pretty cool” finding, Liao says. She suspects, too, that the crows could have mastered numbers higher than four if they were given the opportunity.
Onur Güntürkün, a biopsychologist at Ruhr University Bochum in Germany, who was not involved in the research, says the new paper is “excellent” even if the findings are “not unexpected”, given all that scientists already know about crows’ intelligence.

Many digital characters we call emojis describe the natural world. Yet the emoji tree of life is imbalanced, according to a study published recently in the journal iScience.
Researchers analysing the comprehensive Emojipedia (表情图标百科) found that vertebrate animals (脊椎动物) are heavily favoured over all other types of life, while plants are hardly featured at all—and some branches of biodiversity are missing entirely. The study authors suggest that these gaps could influence digital communication about protection and biology.
Emojis are an increasingly large part of human communication, and it’s worth examining the holes, says Sanjaya Wijeratne, a computer scientist who has studied emoji meaning and use. “The paper asks a virtual question,” he says, noting that past research suggests that including emojis in social media posts can boost positive engagement. Some emojis could help to promote perception of certain biological classifications online, Wijeratne suggests.
But emojis come with costs, says Jennifer Lee, a current member of the non-profit Unicode Consortium’s Emoji Subcommittee, which is responsible for shaping international emoji standards. Every additional emoji requires storage space and adds to keyboard clutter. New emojis must be carefully considered and meet standards of use frequency.
Study co-author Gentile Francesco Ficetola, a biologist at the University of Milan, isn’t advocating for every species to get its cartoon version. Instead, he and his colleagues suggest increasing virtual representation by adding just three new emojis that would significantly boost diversity: a flatworm, a water bear and a starfish. But Lee doesn’t think any of these will make the cut soon. She even previously advocated for a starfish emoji, whose uses proved too limited. “I tried,” she says. “And it’s pretty, but that’s it.”
Despite the difficulty of expanding emojis, big advances in emoji biodiversity have already been made. The number of animal types more than doubled between 2015 and 2022, according to the study, which was a pleasant surprise for Ficetola. “My personal feeling is that we have a better understanding of biodiversity now, emojis included,” he says. “Still, we can always do better.”

Whether they are long, slim, or wide, our tongues may be even more unique than we give them credit for. An analysis suggests that each of us may have a unique “tongue print” just as we have individual fingerprints.
Averaging about just 10 cm in length, with only the front two-thirds visible, our tongues are covered in hundreds of small buds, known as papillae, some of which hold our taste buds, whereas others enable our tongues to sense texture (口感), friction, and touch. “These are critical for interaction and transport of food and liquids in the mouth,” said Rayna Andreeva, a PhD student at the University of Edinburgh, who led the research. “They may also influence our psychological reactions to food—for example, how satisfied we feel after eating appears to be influenced by our perception of friction.”
But while the taste function of papillae has been well researched, far less is known about the differences in shape, size and patterns of papillae between different people. To investigate, Andreeva and her colleagues thus trained AI computer models to learn from thousands of microscopic scans of individual papillae, taken from silicone moulds (硅胶模型) of 15 people’s tongues, mapping their size, characteristics and location on the tongues’ surfaces.
Ultimately, the researchers found that a single papilla could predict someone’s gender and age with moderate accuracy, up to 67%—75%, and even the specific individual could be identified from the 15 study participants with about 48% accuracy (a random predictor would have an accuracy of just 6.66%). “We were surprised to see how unique these tongue features are to each individual,” said Professor Rik Sarkar at the University of Edinburgh.
The research could provide new insights into how tongue features correlate with various foods, according to the researchers. “Imagine being able to design individually targeted food according to the conditions of specific people and thus ensure they can get proper nutrition while enjoying their food,” Andreeva said. “For instance, a better understanding of the physical mechanisms that happen when different people eat chocolate could lead to alternatives that offer a similar feel and sensation but with a lower fat content.”
(　)32.What does the second paragraph mainly talk about
A.The impact of tongue size on food preferences.
B.The functions of the different parts of our tongue.
C.The psychological reactions to food consumption.
D.The significant role of papillae in food perception.
(　)33.What was the primary focus of Andreeva and her colleagues’ research
A.How different patterns of papillae affect people’s taste.
B.How physical features of papillae vary among individuals.
C.What factors contribute to the differences in tongue papillae.
D.What methods can be used to measure the differences in papillae.
(　)34.Which of the following statements might Rik Sarkar agree with
A.People of the same age share similar tongue papillae.
B.Tongue papillae can be used as a means of identification.
C.The size and distribution of tongue papillae change with age.
D.It is hard to predict one’s gender based on tongue papillae alone.
(　)35.How can the research potentially benefit food producers
A.By improving their food production efficiency.
B.By enhancing their food preservation techniques.
C.By making food cater to the consumers’ needs.
D.By having more ways to improve the taste of food.

The holidays can be a divisive season. Because the holidays are full of merriness, some love them. Others can feel troubled by them, affected by the financial pressure and family gatherings often accompanying the holidays. 36.　　　　　　 So, what can you do if you’re feeling like that Roll your sleeves up. We’re going to get real, make a plan and enjoy the holiday atmosphere.
37.　　　　　　 This may be obvious for many—you may feel triggered owing to the stress of social events or gift-giving. But others may have a harder time detecting what is going on.
Begin tracking how you’re feeling on the day-to-day life. You can keep a journal or take a brief walk where you can reflect at the end of your day. Doing this lets you see a pattern of what may be activating your negative feelings.
After getting your triggers written down, let’s make a plan. If it is money fueling the discomfort, let’s strategize how you can cut down the financial expectations. You can select a thoughtful low-cost decoration or a bunch of flowers. 38.　　　　　　 Don’t be afraid to let them know your financial condition. If holiday gatherings are extremely stressful, it is time to see how this can shift. Avoiding holiday gatherings altogether isn’t possible for most.

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。
Undoubtedly, Mother Nature is always attractive to kids. In our childhood, how often did we turn a deaf ear to our parents’ advice Very often! Thus, we landed ourselves in a situation where we greatly regretted our act of not having listened to the advice of the wise.
Such an unforgettable experience I had at the age of 7 gave me an invaluable lesson, after which I deeply understood why my gentle mother was repeating the boring suggestions and I would try to take her suggestions seriously.
In my childhood, I was so crazy about nature that even playing among the colourful flowers in our garden could make my day. Our house was next to the woods which had always stirred up(激起) great curiosity in me in wanting to find out what was within. Every time I saw fascinating butterflies dancing from the woods, my curiosity grew.
But my mother didn’t like me wandering off on my own and always ensured that I was within her sight. Even if she allowed me to explore the surrounding area on my own, it was only to be somewhere near the house. Being as curious as the cat, I always desired to explore the woods. It seemed as if my mother had understood my desire, so she had warned me on lots of occasions never to enter the woods alone.
“Mum, can I go out and play in the garden ” I asked.
“Sure,” she would reply each time. “Kate, you can play in the garden but you must promise me one thing—only when I’m with you can you go into the woods. There are no cases of animal attacks on humans, but it’s still dangerous for a little kid like you. It’s too easy to get lost in the woods.”
“Sure, you’ve said that many times!” I answered without patience at her repeated reminders.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Paragraph 1:
However, curiosity got the better of me one morning.



Paragraph 2:
“Kate ” Behind the trees covered by the rays of the setting sun came my mother’s voice.
