Born in Torquay, England in 1890, Agatha Christie became, and remains, the bestselling novelist of all time.
She is best known for her 66 detective novels and 14 short story collections, as well as the world’s longest-running
play — The Mousetrap. Her books have sold over a billion copies in the English language and a billion in
translation.
What made Agatha’s upbringing unusual was that she was home-schooled in those early years. Agatha’s
father, Frederick Miller was a wealthy American man and her mother Clara was an excellent storyteller. Her
mother’s imaginative stories and her love for books inspired her creativity.
At 18, Agatha began writing short stories. During World War I, she worked as a nurse and later in a hospital
dispensary (药房), where she learned about poisons — knowledge she later used in her novels. In 1912, she met
Archie Christie, marrying him in 1914. During the war, she created her famous detective, Hercule Poirot, a Belgian
refugee (难民), for her first novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles (1920).
The 1920s brought success and sorrow. In 1926, her mother died, and her marriage collapsed (破裂). Agatha
disappeared for 11 days, sparking a national search. She was found in a hotel, possibly suffering from amnesia (健
忘症). After divorcing Archie, she focused on writing, introducing Miss Marple in 1927.
In 1930 Agatha married archaeologist Max Mallowan. Travelling with him to the Middle East inspired
novels like Murder in Mesopotamia and Death on the Nile. Both of these stories took place in the Middle East. She
balanced writing and archaeology (考古学), producing two to three books yearly. In 1938, she bought Greenway,
her beloved Devon home.
Agatha Christie’s life — filled with adventure, heartbreak, and creativity — shaped her into the world’s
most famous mystery writer.
4. What inspired Agatha’s creativity as a child
A. Her father’s wealth. B. Her mother’s storytelling.
C. Her school’s books. D. Her parents’ encouragement.
5. Why did Agatha’s wartime work help her writing
A. She met famous detectives. B. She learned about poisons.
C. She travelled to Belgium. D. She studied medicine deeply.
6. How did Agatha’s Middle East travels influence her books
A. She wrote textbooks about archaeology. B. She coloured her books with joy.
C. She set stories in the Middle East. D. She added plots about Greenway.
7. Which words can best describe Agatha
A. Determined and creative. B. Positive and humorous.
C. Adventurous and honest. D. Hardworking and critical.
C
Past research suggested drinking alcohol (酒) in moderate (适中的) amounts could be good for the heart. But
a growing number of public health experts now advise people to limit alcohol intake as much as possible to
improve health.
Earlier in 2025, US Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy called for changing his agency’s existing health
warning on alcoholic drinks to include cancer risks. Alcohol breaks down in the body into a substance called
acetaldehyde. This chemical can damage cells and stop them from repairing themselves. The process can create
conditions for cancer to grow.
Estimates show thousands of US deaths could be prevented each year if people followed government dietary
guidelines on drinking alcohol. The guidelines advise men to limit themselves to two drinks or fewer per day and
women to one drink or fewer per day. An example of one drink would be equal to one 12-ounce can of beer, a
5-ounce glass of wine or one serving of liquor.
Medical experts say the idea that moderate drinking can cause health improvements, or benefits, came from
imperfect studies. The research compared groups of people based on how much they drank, with amounts usually
measured at only one point in time. Since some earlier studies did not follow rules about what groups were
measured, researchers say they did not effectively prove cause and effect. People who report drinking moderately
generally have higher levels of education, higher earnings and better resources for health care.
Another problem was that most studies did not include younger people. Almost half of people who die from
alcohol-related causes do so before the age of 50. The studied groups did not effectively represent all drinkers. This
likely created “an appearance” of a benefit for moderate drinkers that is not real.
Health guidelines related to alcohol intake have wide differences from country to country. But the overall
message today is that drinking less is better for health. Britain, France, Denmark, Holland and Australia recently
examined new evidence and lowered their guidelines for safe amounts of alcohol. Ireland plans to begin requiring
cancer warnings on alcohol containers starting in 2026.
8. What does Vivek Murthy think of the existing alcohol warnings in the US
A. They are reasonable. B. They are baseless.
C. They need to be ended. D. They need further improvement.
9. What does the underlined word “liquor” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A. Strong alcoholic drink. B. A substance that causes cancer.
C. A soft drink similar to fruit juice. D. A food containing alcohol.
10. What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about
A. Limitations of original studies about moderate drinking.
B. How alcohol affects your health.
C. Alcohol abuse among young people.
D. Potential risks related to drinking alcohol.
11 What is the author’s purpose in writing the last paragraph
A. To encourage people to do more studies.
B. To warn people to give up bad lifestyle habits.
C. To show most countries suggest drinking less for health.
D. To provide readers with more knowledge.
D
With climate change increasing and an El Nino weather pattern in effect for the western hemisphere, heat
island effect (热岛效应) has become a real problem for cities under the summer sun. GAF created a product called
StreetBond Pavement Coating (路面涂层) that aims to turn that heat island effect around by reflecting heat back
into space.
The GAF Cool Community project is working to help ease urban heat island effects by painting hot city
surfaces such as pavement that absorbs heat and can cause burns on contact. GAF StreetBond pavement coatings
feature an innovative technology called Invisible Shade — named by TIME magazine as one of its Best Inventions
of 2022. It’s a product that can reduce temperatures of hot paved surfaces. And, of course, it comes in all shades
and colours so you can coat a playground to make it less dangerously hot as easily as you could paint your city
parking lots and streets to avoid the worst of a heat wave.
It’s possible to coat more than just the road surfaces. Rooftops also account for a large portion of heat island
effect through radiation absorption. By painting city streets, roofs and other large surface areas with reflective
coatings, it is possible to significantly reduce the heat island effect and keep citizens much more comfortable in the
summer sun. “The US has four million miles of roads and 61 billion square feet of roofing on commercial buildings
(roughly equivalent to one million football fields), trapping heat at increasingly dangerous levels as global
temperatures rise,” GAF reported.
And this isn’t just about comfort: heat worldwide is getting dangerous as temperatures push into the triple
figures beyond what the human body can deal with: From heat stroke (中暑) to excessive heat deaths now
numbering in the millions worldwide every year to social impacts like depression and suicide (自杀), excessive
heat is a threat to a peaceful society if it continues to rise. There have even been reports of increased crimes and
even hate speech is going up during heat waves.
12. What is the working principle of StreetBond Pavement Coating
A. Absorbing the sunlight. B. Reflecting heat into space.
C. Increasing the rainwater. D. Smoothing the road surface.
13. What can we know about the reflective coating from Paragraph 2
A. It’s out of date. B. It brings some risks.
C. It’s the greatest invention to date. D. It’s very practical.
14. What gets worse in extreme heat according to the last paragraph
A. Air quality. B. Social stability.
C. Water supply. D. Birth rate.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Coating Streets and Roofs to Minimize Heat Island Effect
B. The Severe Dangers of Global Climate Change
C New Smart Inventions for Truly Cooling Homes
D. Why Urban Roads Regularly Need Carefully Repainting
第二节(共 5 小题;每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分)
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。
Getting a high grade in an exam depends partly on how much you can remember. ____16____ But is there
anything that we can do about it One solution might be walking backwards.
According to a new study, walking backwards can improve the brainpower in the short term. In the study, 114
volunteers were asked to watch a video in which a woman had her bag stolen. Then they answered 20 questions
about the details shown in the video. ____17____ The first two groups were told to move forwards or backwards
10 metres while the third group was asked to stay still on the same point.
The researchers found that the backwards-walking group got two more correct answers on average than the
other two groups. This suggests that a relationship between the concepts of time and space is essential to the way
our minds form memories.
____18____ It almost always means that our brain needs to be more active and alert in the limited time.
Naturally, our short-term memory will be improved significantly.
Apart from improving our memory, walking in reverse (相反地) also plays an important role in physical
health, especially fitness. A study found backward walking puts less strain and requires a smaller range of
movements from the knee joints. ____19____ In addition, walking in reverse (倒着走), compared to forward
walking, is more challenging. It requires you to use muscles and movements that you probably rarely use, making it
a perfect way to change your exercise routine for greater fitness gains. ____20____
A. Thus, there’s less pressure and pain in the knees.
B. Walking every day is good for your physical health.
C. So, improving memory is crucial to success in studying.
D. Don’t volunteer anything, only answer questions asked.
E. When we walk backwards, everything we learn becomes strange to us.
F. Ten minutes after watching the video, the volunteers were divided into three groups.
G. Meanwhile, by making people put in extra effort, it naturally burns more fat and calories.

For most people, daily routines form the solid backbone of life, and 78-year-old Charlie Hicks is no exception.
For a full decade, he had been a regular fixture at the Shrimp Basket restaurant in Pensacola, Florida. Without fail,
he visited the eatery twice each day, ordering his beloved go-to meal: a cup of gumbo (秋葵) served with just a
small portion of rice. The restaurant staff, especially chef Donell Stallworth, knew him extremely well. To them,
Charlie was far more than a customer — he was like a cherished member of their big family. As Donell later
shared with CBS News, Charlie had never skipped a single day. “The moment we unlock the door each morning,
Mr. Hicks is right there to greet us warmly,” he recalled.
However, an unexpected change took place last September: Charlie suddenly stopped showing up at the
restaurant. At the very beginning, the staff assumed he might have gone on a brief trip. But as days rolled by
without any trace of him, Donell Stallworth became more and more anxious. He just couldn’t get rid of the unease,
fully aware of how consistent Charlie’s daily routine always was.
Finally, Donell could no longer hold back his worry. He made up his mind to take a short break from his work
shift to check on his old friend. He rushed to Charlie’s house and knocked heavily on the door over and over again,
his heart sinking deeper with every passing second as he feared the worst possible outcome. Just as he was about to
turn away to call for help, a faint, weak voice came from inside, whispering, “Help.” Donell wasted no time prying
(撬) the door open and found Charlie lying motionless on the floor. He felt a sharp wave of terror wash over him,
not having the slightest idea how severe Charlie’s condition actually was.
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。
It turned out that Charlie had two broken ribs (肋骨) and was severely dehydrated (脱水的).

Born in Torquay, England in 1890, Agatha Christie became, and remains, the bestselling novelist of all time.
She is best known for her 66 detective novels and 14 short story collections, as well as the world’s longest-running
play — The Mousetrap. Her books have sold over a billion copies in the English language and a billion in
translation.
What made Agatha’s upbringing unusual was that she was home-schooled in those early years. Agatha’s
father, Frederick Miller was a wealthy American man and her mother Clara was an excellent storyteller. Her
mother’s imaginative stories and her love for books inspired her creativity.
At 18, Agatha began writing short stories. During World War I, she worked as a nurse and later in a hospital
dispensary (药房), where she learned about poisons — knowledge she later used in her novels. In 1912, she met
Archie Christie, marrying him in 1914. During the war, she created her famous detective, Hercule Poirot, a Belgian
refugee (难民), for her first novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles (1920).
The 1920s brought success and sorrow. In 1926, her mother died, and her marriage collapsed (破裂). Agatha
disappeared for 11 days, sparking a national search. She was found in a hotel, possibly suffering from amnesia (健
忘症). After divorcing Archie, she focused on writing, introducing Miss Marple in 1927.
In 1930 Agatha married archaeologist Max Mallowan. Travelling with him to the Middle East inspired
novels like Murder in Mesopotamia and Death on the Nile. Both of these stories took place in the Middle East. She
balanced writing and archaeology (考古学), producing two to three books yearly. In 1938, she bought Greenway,
her beloved Devon home.
Agatha Christie’s life — filled with adventure, heartbreak, and creativity — shaped her into the world’s
most famous mystery writer.
4. What inspired Agatha’s creativity as a child
A. Her father’s wealth. B. Her mother’s storytelling.
C. Her school’s books. D. Her parents’ encouragement.
5. Why did Agatha’s wartime work help her writing
A. She met famous detectives. B. She learned about poisons.
C. She travelled to Belgium. D. She studied medicine deeply.
6. How did Agatha’s Middle East travels influence her books
A. She wrote textbooks about archaeology. B. She coloured her books with joy.
C. She set stories in the Middle East. D. She added plots about Greenway.
7. Which words can best describe Agatha
A. Determined and creative. B. Positive and humorous.
C. Adventurous and honest. D. Hardworking and critical.
【答案】4. B 5. B 6. C 7. A
C
Past research suggested drinking alcohol (酒) in moderate (适中的) amounts could be good for the heart. But
a growing number of public health experts now advise people to limit alcohol intake as much as possible to
improve health.
Earlier in 2025, US Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy called for changing his agency’s existing health
warning on alcoholic drinks to include cancer risks. Alcohol breaks down in the body into a substance called
acetaldehyde. This chemical can damage cells and stop them from repairing themselves. The process can create
conditions for cancer to grow.
Estimates show thousands of US deaths could be prevented each year if people followed government dietary
guidelines on drinking alcohol. The guidelines advise men to limit themselves to two drinks or fewer per day and
women to one drink or fewer per day. An example of one drink would be equal to one 12-ounce can of beer, a
5-ounce glass of wine or one serving of liquor.
Medical experts say the idea that moderate drinking can cause health improvements, or benefits, came from
imperfect studies. The research compared groups of people based on how much they drank, with amounts usually
measured at only one point in time. Since some earlier studies did not follow rules about what groups were
measured, researchers say they did not effectively prove cause and effect. People who report drinking moderately
generally have higher levels of education, higher earnings and better resources for health care.
Another problem was that most studies did not include younger people. Almost half of people who die from
alcohol-related causes do so before the age of 50. The studied groups did not effectively represent all drinkers. This
likely created “an appearance” of a benefit for moderate drinkers that is not real.
Health guidelines related to alcohol intake have wide differences from country to country. But the overall
message today is that drinking less is better for health. Britain, France, Denmark, Holland and Australia recently
examined new evidence and lowered their guidelines for safe amounts of alcohol. Ireland plans to begin requiring
cancer warnings on alcohol containers starting in 2026.
8. What does Vivek Murthy think of the existing alcohol warnings in the US
A. They are reasonable. B. They are baseless.
C. They need to be ended. D. They need further improvement.
9. What does the underlined word “liquor” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A. Strong alcoholic drink. B. A substance that causes cancer.
C. A soft drink similar to fruit juice. D. A food containing alcohol.
10. What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about
A. Limitations of original studies about moderate drinking.
B. How alcohol affects your health.
C. Alcohol abuse among young people.
D. Potential risks related to drinking alcohol.
11 What is the author’s purpose in writing the last paragraph
A. To encourage people to do more studies.
B. To warn people to give up bad lifestyle habits.
C. To show most countries suggest drinking less for health.
D. To provide readers with more knowledge.

With climate change increasing and an El Nino weather pattern in effect for the western hemisphere, heat
island effect (热岛效应) has become a real problem for cities under the summer sun. GAF created a product called
StreetBond Pavement Coating (路面涂层) that aims to turn that heat island effect around by reflecting heat back
into space.
The GAF Cool Community project is working to help ease urban heat island effects by painting hot city
surfaces such as pavement that absorbs heat and can cause burns on contact. GAF StreetBond pavement coatings
feature an innovative technology called Invisible Shade — named by TIME magazine as one of its Best Inventions
of 2022. It’s a product that can reduce temperatures of hot paved surfaces. And, of course, it comes in all shades
and colours so you can coat a playground to make it less dangerously hot as easily as you could paint your city
parking lots and streets to avoid the worst of a heat wave.
It’s possible to coat more than just the road surfaces. Rooftops also account for a large portion of heat island
effect through radiation absorption. By painting city streets, roofs and other large surface areas with reflective
coatings, it is possible to significantly reduce the heat island effect and keep citizens much more comfortable in the
summer sun. “The US has four million miles of roads and 61 billion square feet of roofing on commercial buildings
(roughly equivalent to one million football fields), trapping heat at increasingly dangerous levels as global
temperatures rise,” GAF reported.
And this isn’t just about comfort: heat worldwide is getting dangerous as temperatures push into the triple
figures beyond what the human body can deal with: From heat stroke (中暑) to excessive heat deaths now
numbering in the millions worldwide every year to social impacts like depression and suicide (自杀), excessive
heat is a threat to a peaceful society if it continues to rise. There have even been reports of increased crimes and
even hate speech is going up during heat waves.
12. What is the working principle of StreetBond Pavement Coating
A. Absorbing the sunlight. B. Reflecting heat into space.
C. Increasing the rainwater. D. Smoothing the road surface.
13. What can we know about the reflective coating from Paragraph 2
A. It’s out of date. B. It brings some risks.
C. It’s the greatest invention to date. D. It’s very practical.
14. What gets worse in extreme heat according to the last paragraph
A. Air quality. B. Social stability.
C. Water supply. D. Birth rate.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Coating Streets and Roofs to Minimize Heat Island Effect
B. The Severe Dangers of Global Climate Change
C New Smart Inventions for Truly Cooling Homes
D. Why Urban Roads Regularly Need Carefully Repainting

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。
Getting a high grade in an exam depends partly on how much you can remember. ____16____ But is there
anything that we can do about it One solution might be walking backwards.
According to a new study, walking backwards can improve the brainpower in the short term. In the study, 114
volunteers were asked to watch a video in which a woman had her bag stolen. Then they answered 20 questions
about the details shown in the video. ____17____ The first two groups were told to move forwards or backwards
10 metres while the third group was asked to stay still on the same point.
The researchers found that the backwards-walking group got two more correct answers on average than the
other two groups. This suggests that a relationship between the concepts of time and space is essential to the way
our minds form memories.
____18____ It almost always means that our brain needs to be more active and alert in the limited time.
Naturally, our short-term memory will be improved significantly.
Apart from improving our memory, walking in reverse (相反地) also plays an important role in physical
health, especially fitness. A study found backward walking puts less strain and requires a smaller range of
movements from the knee joints. ____19____ In addition, walking in reverse (倒着走), compared to forward
walking, is more challenging. It requires you to use muscles and movements that you probably rarely use, making it
a perfect way to change your exercise routine for greater fitness gains. ____20____
A. Thus, there’s less pressure and pain in the knees.
B. Walking every day is good for your physical health.
C. So, improving memory is crucial to success in studying.
D. Don’t volunteer anything, only answer questions asked.
E. When we walk backwards, everything we learn becomes strange to us.
F. Ten minutes after watching the video, the volunteers were divided into three groups.
G. Meanwhile, by making people put in extra effort, it naturally burns more fat and calories.

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。
For most people, daily routines form the solid backbone of life, and 78-year-old Charlie Hicks is no exception.
For a full decade, he had been a regular fixture at the Shrimp Basket restaurant in Pensacola, Florida. Without fail,
he visited the eatery twice each day, ordering his beloved go-to meal: a cup of gumbo (秋葵) served with just a
small portion of rice. The restaurant staff, especially chef Donell Stallworth, knew him extremely well. To them,
Charlie was far more than a customer — he was like a cherished member of their big family. As Donell later
shared with CBS News, Charlie had never skipped a single day. “The moment we unlock the door each morning,
Mr. Hicks is right there to greet us warmly,” he recalled.
However, an unexpected change took place last September: Charlie suddenly stopped showing up at the
restaurant. At the very beginning, the staff assumed he might have gone on a brief trip. But as days rolled by
without any trace of him, Donell Stallworth became more and more anxious. He just couldn’t get rid of the unease,
fully aware of how consistent Charlie’s daily routine always was.
Finally, Donell could no longer hold back his worry. He made up his mind to take a short break from his work
shift to check on his old friend. He rushed to Charlie’s house and knocked heavily on the door over and over again,
his heart sinking deeper with every passing second as he feared the worst possible outcome. Just as he was about to
turn away to call for help, a faint, weak voice came from inside, whispering, “Help.” Donell wasted no time prying
(撬) the door open and found Charlie lying motionless on the floor. He felt a sharp wave of terror wash over him,
not having the slightest idea how severe Charlie’s condition actually was.
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。
It turned out that Charlie had two broken ribs (肋骨) and was severely dehydrated (脱水的).

Months later, Charlie finally returned to the Shrimp Basket for his first in-person cup of gumbo.

____________________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________________
had fallen at home a few days before and couldn't move to call for help, surviving only on a little water. Donell
immediately called an ambulance, staying by Charlie’s side until it arrived, holding his hand and comforting him
softly. The restaurant staff took turns visiting Charlie in the hospital, bringing him small gifts and his favorite
gumbo when he could eat. Their care made the lonely old man feel the warmth of a big family, helping him recover
quickly with hope and joy.
Months later, Charlie finally returned to the Shrimp Basket for his first in-person cup of gumbo. The
moment he walked in, the whole restaurant burst into warm cheers. Donell rushed over and gave him a tight hug,
his eyes filled with joy. Charlie sat at his usual seat, and the familiar gumbo was served right away. He took a slow
sip, a big smile spreading across his face. "This tastes just like home," he said softly. From then on, Charlie was
back to his daily routine, and the restaurant felt complete again — for he was not just a customer, but a beloved
family member they would always care for.
