第二部分：阅读（共两节，满分５０分）
第一节（共１５小题；每小题２．５分，满分３７．５分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 Ａ、Ｂ、Ｃ和 Ｄ四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Nowadays, more and more emphasis is being placed on a building’s “green” certification. On Earth Day, look through four noteworthy green buildings from around the world.
One Central Park (Sydney, Australia)
A park at the foot of the building literally continues up the structure, as vegetation of 250 species of Australian plants and flowers cover One Central Park. An architectural website says it has 25% less energy consumption compared with a conventional building of its size.
Shanghai Tower (Shanghai, China)
Shanghai Tower has a transparent second skin wrapped around the building which creates a zone of captured air that serves as natural ventilation (通风), reducing energy costs. Besides, 270 wind devices incorporated into the right side power its outside lights.
Marco Polo Tower (Hamburg, Germany)
Each floor of Marco Polo Tower is turned a few degrees away from the one below, around an axis (轴线). This allows for recessed (嵌入式) buildings that protect residents from direct sun. This tower also includes many other green features. There is a heat exchanger on the roof that turns warm air into a cooling system. And the natural ventilation can make residents sleep soundly without being disrupted by outside noise.
Torre Reforma (Mexico City, Mexico)
Torre Reforma rises to 807 feet and stands tall on energy-saving measures, too. The tower’s slimness maximizes the amount of natural light let in, which in turn cuts down on the need for electric lights. And when the weather permits, controls can automatically open windows to let air in.
21．What do we know about One Central Park
A．It makes full use of solar energy.
B．It uses a great cooling system.
C．It has many plants and flowers.
D．It has self-control windows.
22．What do the Shanghai Tower and Marco Polo Tower have in common
A．They are naturally ventilated.
B．They are both transparent.
C．They generate electricity by wind.
D．They harvest energy from sunshine.
23．Where can the text be found
A．In science fiction. B．In an architectural magazine.
C．In an autobiography. D．In a weather report.
B
On a recent trip through the Himalayas, my bruises (淤伤) became the truest souvenirs. More personal than anything bought, they carry a unique memory. Over time, my desire for typical souvenirs has faded; I now value experiences over objects. But maybe that’s just me. Two out of three Americans bring back a souvenir from their travels, with US sales topping $21bn in 2022.
Humans have long collected objects to remember experiences. With the rise of industrialization and tourism, souvenirs became more common. Souvenirs bring back happy memories, serving as a simple way to say, “I was there.” “At the heart of our actions is a desire to feel heard, seen and connected,” explains Madarkal, a professor in India.
Travellers today are more aware of their impact on local community, but the problems caused by travel souvenirs are often overlooked. In a 2022 Australian report, up to 75% of souvenirs marketed as “local” are made overseas. Real goods are expensive due to time-consuming labour involved, so some shops sell cheap fakes (假货) with most customers giving little regard to their origins. While buying fakes may seem to support local sellers, it often minimizes the profit of the traditional handicrafts, creating a negative cycle.
So, how can you buy meaningful souvenirs “Be curious... it’s not just about buying or choosing carefully, it’s about rejecting and explaining why,” said Madarkal. Asking where an item comes from and how it is made is a good first step. Choosing unique designs over mass-produced goods at fair-trade markets helps support local communities. Intentions also matter, as souvenirs should be chosen for personal meaning rather than habit. And souvenirs don’t always have to be objects — journals or skills gained can become lasting reminders.
Ultimately, there’s no universal rule for a “meaningful” souvenir. But next time you’re grabbing a quick airport souvenir, pause and reflect.
24．What changed the author’s view on souvenirs
A．A search for adventures. B．A desire for experiences.
C．Fear of physical injuries. D．Changes in life stages.
25．What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A．The increasing popularity of souvenirs. B．The psychological need for souvenirs.
C．The importance of modern tourism. D．The memories tourism brings back.
26．What is the consequence of the negative cycle in paragraph 3
A．Tourism becomes more profitable. B．Local sellers gain long-term benefits.
C．Traditional handicrafts lose the market. D．Souvenir design becomes standardized.
27．What does the author suggest about buying meaningful souvenirs
A．Picking timeless common designs. B．Following your own shopping habits.
C．Choosing intention over convenience. D．Weighing possession over remembrance.
C
A new major study suggests that maintaining healthy eating habits in midlife is linked to better aging in later years. Conducted by researchers from Harvard, the University of Copenhagen, and the University of Montreal, this study does not just focus on living a long life. Instead, it looks at “healthy aging,” which is defined as living to age 70 or older without major chronic diseases while maintaining good cognitive, physical, and mental health.
The team observed over 105,000 female and male health professionals in midlife for 30 years. Participants regularly completed detailed dietary questionnaires. The researchers scored these answers based on eight different healthy dietary patterns. These patterns, such as the Mediterranean diet or the DASH diet, generally encourage high intakes of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats, while limiting red and processed meats. They also carefully examined the amount of ultra-processed foods participants consumed.
The results are promising. A total of 9.3% of the population aged healthily. Overall, those who stuck to any of these healthy dietary patterns were more likely to age well. The top performer was the AHEI diet. People with high scores were much more likely to live past 70 in good health than those with low scores. Another strong option was the PHDI, which emphasizes plant-based foods while considering planetary health. In contrast, eating too much processed meat and sugary drinks lowered the chances of healthy aging.
The researchers emphasize that there is no “one-size-fits-all” diet. Healthy diets can be adapted to fit individual needs and preferences. The main goal is to eat mostly plant-based foods with a moderate inclusion of healthy animal products. This flexibility helps people maintain an independent and active quality of life as they age, which is a priority for both individuals and public health.
However, the study has some limitations. The participants were all health professionals, meaning their socioeconomic status and education levels might be higher than average. To apply the results more widely, future studies should repeat the research in populations with more diverse backgrounds.
28．How does the study define “healthy aging”
A．By living a long life without any illnesses.
B．By maintaining physical and mental health at 70.
C．By following a strict diet plan in midlife.
D．By avoiding animal-based foods totally.
29．What is a common feature of the recommended dietary patterns
A．They are high in red meat intake.
B．They strictly exclude all dairy products.
C．They encourage eating more plant-based foods.
D．They focus mainly on environmental protection.
30．What does the author suggest about healthy diets
A．They require people to eat the same foods.
B．They can be adapted to individual needs.
C．They are difficult to follow for young people.
D．They are better than medicine for diseases.
31．Why does the author mention the study’s limitation
A．To prove the study is unscientific.
B．To suggest the need for more diverse subjects.
C．To show health professionals eat poorly.
D．To indicate the diet is harmful.
D
As is known to us all, reading books is good for children. Now, a new study suggests that just being around books has its benefits (益处). A team of researchers in Australia finds that growing up with a large library at home improves literacy (读写能力), number-sense, and even technological skills in later life. It appeared in Social Science Research.
The researchers were exploring the advantages of scholarly culture. They were interested in an extra finding that some call the “radiation effect”. “The radiation effect is a situation where children grow up around books, but they don’t read books. But somehow books benefit them, even though they don’t read them as much as their parents wish them to,” said Joanna Sikora, a scientist in Australia. Joanna and her workmates studied information collected between 2015 and 2019 by the Organization for Economic Development. The survey tested the literacy, numeracy (计算能力) and technological abilities of more than 160,000 adults from 31 countries. And it included a question about how many books participants (参加者) had in their homes during adolescence (青春期). “What we were able to make clear was that people growing up around books had better literacy, numeracy and technological problem-solving skills than people who had fewer books growing up but had similar education levels, similar jobs, and even similar adult habits in connection with reading or working at numeracy-improving activities,” she said.
In fact, teens who only made it through high school but were raised in a bookish environment did as well in adulthood as college graduates who grew up in a house without books. Now, how might a simple display lead to intellectual (智力的) improvement “If we grow up in a house, in a home where parents enjoy books, where books are given as birthday presents and valued, this is something that becomes a wealth of knowledge and gives us this lifelong driving force (驱动力) to always come close to books and read more than we would.”
So keep shelves filled with books. Your kids will not only be thankful, they’ll be more likely to be able to spell “thankful” correctly as well.
32．What’s “the radiation effect” according to the text
A．The terrible influence of radiation on men and things.
B．The negative influence of giving teens birthday presents which are not valued.
C．The beneficial influence of reading books on adolescents.
D．The good influence of the bookish environment on adolescents.
33．What can we learn about the participants from Paragraph 2
A．They all graduated from college.
B．They had only one answer to the survey.
C．They had all been to a sizable library at least once.
D．They were brought up in different growth environments.
34．How does the display of books improve intellect
A．Books help to provide a chance to come close to society.
B．Books are always given to adolescents as valuable presents.
C．Books will offer teens a drive to make great achievements.
D．Books bring a sense of being rich in knowledge and longing to read more.
35．What’s the best title for the text
A．Reading More Helps Improve Children’s Abilities
B．Reading at Home Brings Children Many Advantages
C．Growing Up Around Books Benefits Children a Lot
D．Creating a Bookish Environment for Children Ts of Much Importance

第二节：读后续写（满分２５分）
67．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。
Lily stared at the wrinkled rejection letter from the national art competition, her watercolor phoenix (凤凰) lying untouched beside her. As a senior three student struggling with college application stress and endless exams, she’ d poured every ounce of frustration and hidden hope into the artwork — its blazing flames a metaphor for her desire to rise above overwhelming academic pressure. Yet the letter’s cold judgment crushed her: “Looks seemingly flawless (完美的), yet lacks artistic expression, depth and meaning.” In that moment, her confidence fell apart, the phoenix’s fire fading as sharply as her own spirit.
For weeks, Lily locked her paintbrushes away, convinced her lifelong passion for art was a meaningless distraction from her college dreams. The studio she once frequented became a place of shame; she would quicken her pace whenever she passed, unable to face the reminder of her failure.
One afternoon after self-study, Lily entered the classroom to find a book on her desk, left by her art teacher Ms. Hale. Put inside was a short note: “Growth isn’t about never falling — it’s about learning to rise, just like your phoenix.” Curiosity overcame her despair as she leafed through the pages, discovering an article titled Reflections on Reflecting. Its words struck a chord: “Self-awareness grows when we face our doubts, not flee from them.”
As Lily re-read the note and article, she realized the judges’ words weren’t disapproval of her talent, but a challenge to dig deeper. In her pursuit of a “flawless” victory symbol, she had polished away the raw edges of her own struggle, leaving the phoenix technically impressive but emotionally distant. With renewed purpose, slowly, she took out her paintbrushes from the drawer. Instead of starting a new piece immediately, she felt a strong urge to revisit the phoenix — the very symbol of her failure, ready to fill it with the raw, authentic emotion she’d hidden before — rising, like her phoenix, from the ashes of self-doubt.
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。
That evening, Lily spread the phoenix painting on the desk.

Weeks later, Lily submitted the revised painting to a local youth exhibition without much expectation.

66．【答案】Dear Jeremy,
I’m writing to respond to your proposal of using AI to draft our experiment report. Honestly, I have to decline it politely.
Using AI may save time, but it can’t reflect our real understanding of the experiment. Worse still, we might miss the chance to practice analyzing data and organizing ideas independently, which is vital for our study.
How about we finish the draft together We can discuss the experiment process first and then divide the work reasonably. This way, we can learn from each other and improve our abilities.
Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua

67．【答案】That evening, Lily spread the phoenix painting on the desk. As she picked up the brush, she remembered what the judges had said, which made her determined to show the real emotion in the painting. She carefully added strokes that represented her struggles with college applications and exams. The phoenix, which she had once thought was a failure, now seemed to come alive with the emotions she had integrated into it. She worked late into the night, losing track of time as she poured her heart into the artwork.
Weeks later, Lily submitted the revised painting to a local youth exhibition without much expectation. What she didn’t expect was that her painting received a lot of praise at the exhibition. Many people were touched by the raw emotion and depth in the phoenix. Lily felt a surge of excitement and confidence as she realized that her hard work had paid off. She realized that the journey of art was not just about creating perfect pieces, but about expressing herself and growing through challenges.

M: Hello, Ms. Parkinson. Are you here for the brochures you asked us to print
W: Yes. And I really appreciate that you were able to print them so quickly. I'm going to mail them out to all my customers on my mailing list next week.
M: No problem. I hope they prove to be helpful to your business. Here are the brochures.
W: Thanks. Oh ... I think you gave me an extra one. I just ordered a hundred 10-page ones, but there seems to be a 20-page one here as well. Have I been charged for that one
M: Oh, sorry, yes . . I'm not sure how that happened. I'll give that amount back to you now if you give me your credit card again. While I'm doing that, my colleague will carry these out to your car for you.
W: Thanks a lot.

W: Chris, you're looking a bit tired. What have you been occupied with
M: I'm tired, actually. I've started going to evening classes three times a week and
W: Evening classes. But Chris, how can you manage You already have to spend much overtime at work without taking up a hobby as well.
M: It’s not exactly a hobby. I'm doing my higher accounting diploma and it's quite a lot of extra work. But, well, you know, I don't like my job and I've been looking for another one, but everyone wants a higher diploma, so I decided that.
W: You have a strong will. I'm not brave enough to accept more work at this stage in my life.
M: I have to. If I don't, Ill have no hope of making progress for the rest of my life. Actually, I quite enjoy these classes. The other people attending the courses are really friendly and the teachers are excellent. I really feel I'm benefiting. I think when I finish this I might study a foreign language and then I'll be really well qualified.

M: Many friends say I look refreshed and cheerful recently. I guess it's due to volunteering. I've felt an incredible change after taking part in volunteer work over the past three months. It's such magic. I've met new people and learned valuable knowledge. What's more, while helping others, I've also received a lot of appreciation from others, which gives me a sense of fulfillment.
Many people want to do volunteer work but fail to take action for various reasons. Most people claim they are too busy to volunteer. I used to think so. However, when I started volunteering, such a barrier naturally disappeared. I could arrange my schedule and balance volunteer work and other issues quite well. Apart from that, people are also concerned about lacking the skills and experience to match with volunteer work. Actually, there are different kinds of volunteer work, and most of the work does not require special skills at all. What really matters is the time you give. Some people may also think it is difficult to find the groups that need help because they have no such connections with them. But the truth is that the right volunteer groups are rather easy to approach. So, if you have any interest in volunteering, just take action, and it will change your life.
