There must be few occasions when it would be really rude to refuse an invitation to hit
someone you’ve just met with your fist! But I’m in one of those right now. I’m in a rehearsal room in a theatre with a group of actors, facing up to stage fighting director Kate Waters. She wants me to hit her with my fist. But fear not, this is all strictly pretend! Kate, known in the industry as
Kombat Kate, is giving a lesson on how actors fight each other without getting hurt.
Already a passionate martial arts expert from childhood, Kate did drama at university, and one of her courses introduced her to stage fighting. When she made inquiries about the possibility of teaching it as a career, she was told about the register of stage fight directors and the
qualifications she’d need to be accepted into it. It was no small order: as well as a certificate in advanced stage fighting, she would need a black belt in karate (空手道) and skill in fencing, a sport she’d never tried before. But she rose to the challenge and finally successfully became one of only two women on the official register.
Of course, a stage fight is just smoke and mirrors. In our lesson, Kate shows me how an
actor will stand with his or her back to the audience ahead of a planned slap (拍). When the slap
comes it makes contact not with the skin but with the air: the actor hits his chest or leg to make the sound of the slap.
In the rehearsal room, I can’t resist asking Kate how she thinks she would do in a real
fight.Would she give her attacker a hard time She laughs,“Oh, I’d be awful,” she says.“I only know how to pretend.” I can’t help thinking, however, that she's just being rather humble.
4 .Why does Kate ask the author to hit her
A .To show actors stage fighting skills. B .To teach actors to defend themselves.
C .To help actors rehearse an action scene. D .To attract actors' interest in martial arts.
5 .What was a challenge Kate faced in becoming a stage fight director
A .She could not find a female teacher. B .She had no prior experience in drama.
C .She had to master an unfamiliar sport. D .She had trouble obtaining a certificate.
6 .What do the underlined words“smoke and mirrors” in paragraph 3 mean
A .A difficult technique. B .A dangerous situation.
C .A well-planned lesson. D .A misleading performance.
7 .What does the author imply about Kate’s real fighting ability
A .She relies a lot on tricks.
B .She may lack confidence in herself.
C .She might be better than she admits.
D .She excels more at performing than fighting.
C
Biologist E.O. Wilson once wrote that “ants are the most warlike of all animals”, noting
that fights between ant colonies (蚁群) were far bigger than the human battles at Waterloo and
Gettysburg. But sometimes ant colonies get taken over not by direct warfare, but by secret action. In fact, sometimes the members of an ant colony can get tricked into murdering their own precious queen.
The role of queen is the most important in an ant colony — she produces all the eggs, and she’s cared for by workers. As a colony matures and grows, it generates reproductive females that fly off to found new colonies.
But to do this, these females face great danger outside the nest, so some take shortcuts. Ant expert Keizo Takasuka and his team lab-observed ant species and uncovered their queen-killing
strategies. First, the female ant needs some hiding methods so that she can enter the targeted
colony without being detected as an outsider. Since ants mainly tell friend from enemy using
chemical signals, the female ant can pick up the necessary smell by coming into contact with some of the colony’s workers. The experts gave females the opportunity to do this in the lab, letting
them interact with workers from two other species.
Then, the scientists discovered a female made her way through a colony towards its queen. Once she reached the queen, she shot some liquid to cover the queen, and then pulled back. “My guess is that it was a kind of chemical,” says Takasuka. That’s used by some ants as a defense, or to signal danger. Whatever it was, putting this chemical onto the queen had a dramatic effect.
Large groups of workers who had been loyal, ready to lay down their lives to protect their queen — who was their biological mother — suddenly turned on her, attacking her violently until she was dead.
After that, the colony’s ants accepted the new female as their new queen and began serving her, protecting her and helping raise her young.
8 .What is the author’s purpose by mentioning Waterloo and Gettysburg
A .To compare war strategies. B .To show ants’ war size.
C .To highlight war’s cruelty. D .To explain ants’ war signals.
9 .What did the experts make the female ants do in the lab
A .Build up a new nest. B .Kill the queen directly.
C .Contact foreign workers. D .Produce chemical liquids.
10 .Why did the ant workers kill their queen
A .They followed a natural order. B .They wanted to have a new queen.
C .They were threatened by outsiders. D .They were misled by her new smell.
11 .What is the best title for the text
A .Conflicts among Ant Colonies B .The Important Roles of a Queen
C .Chemical Tricks for New Queens D .The Rules within Ant Colonies
D
When Martin Roth began his career as a forest ranger in the 1980s, his job was to care for the forest in a way that would ensure continuity for decades, even centuries. Now, with climate change, it’s more about planning for an uncertain future. “It’s turned into disaster management,” says Roth, for whom the 3,000 acres of forest along the northeastern shore of Lake Constance in Germany act as testing ground for high-tech solutions, earning him the nickname “digital forest ranger” in the German forestry community.
After a disastrous storm, the clock starts ticking: damaged trees need to be removed before the arrival of bark beetles (甲虫), which breed in dead trees and can go on to destroy entire forests. While it used to take Roth two and a half hours to cover an acre of forest on foot, drones (无人机) now let him survey the entire 3,000 acres in a matter of days, so he can quickly locate damaged
trees, identify and inform the owners of affected plots, and send information to workers on the ground.
His most recent project is combining body camera footage with AI. “Usually you mark the trees, they’re cut down, and you have no idea how much timber you’ll end up with-how many
cubic meters, what quality, which tree species,” he explains. Now AI, “looking” through his body camera, automatically recognizes the tree species he has marked and estimates the amount of
timber it will produce, sending the information to his phone in real time.
Roth’s experience in tackling the challenges of modern forestry with technology is
increasingly sought after-colleagues reach out for advice, and he lectures on digitalization in
forestry at the Rottenburg University of Applied Forest Sciences. But he warns that technology
can never replace a walk through the forest: “I should never believe that the digital twin is reality. I always have to do a reality check.”
12 .What effect has climate change on Martin Roth’s work
A .It made his job focus on long-lasting forest continuity.
B .It reduced the importance of traditional forestry skills.
C .It required him to abandon technology-based methods.
D .It shifted his role toward managing unexpected disasters.
13 .How do drones help Roth after a disastrous storm
A .Kill bark beetles quickly. B .Assess forest damage efficiently.
C .Predict the future climate change. D .Replace the work of ground workers.
14 .What does Roth imply by mentioning “reality check” in the last paragraph
A .Digital tools must be tested in extreme weather.
B .AI’s calculations are often unsafe and unreliable.
C .Technology will soon make forest rangers unnecessary.
D .Virtual models cannot fully replace on-site inspections.
15 .What is the purpose of the text
A .To describe the life story of a German forest ranger.
B .To warn about the dangers of climate change to forests.
C .To introduce how technology transforms modern forestry.
D .To criticize the overuse of drones in environmental protection.
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。
If you have ever added an extra item to your cart just to get free shipping, you have fallen victim to what is known as “spaving”, defined as the act of“spending more to save more”.
16 Here are some tips and tricks you might turn to next time you are tempted to spend a little more just to secure some savings.
Take a second to do the math. The language of advertising may lead you to believe you are about to-get a great deal. 17 For example, for some “buy more, save more” deals, the
percent discount is often the same. However, the original price of a product acts as an anchor, making the discount appear more valuable than it actually is. By doing the math, you’ll quickly realize that the savings aren’t as significant as they seem.
18 You won’t feel the impulse to shop sales ifyou don’t know about them.
Consider taking yourself off the email lists from favorite brands so you are not getting informed every time a special is happening. Similarly, don’t walk into a store if you know there is a sale going on.
Stay focused on your shopping list. You can avoid adding extra items to your cart if you have a shopping list in hand that you’ve created ahead of time. 19 Keep a full list of products that you intend to buy at some point and refer to it when you come across a sale.
Pause before purchasing. 20 Carry out a 24-hour waiting period before making a purchase as well as to shop around, compare prices or even look for a renewed option. This gives you time to ensure you don’t already own the item or something similar, helping to avoid
unnecessary repetition.
A .Tum off sales alerts.
B .Spave with a purpose.
C .But the numbers tell a different story.
D .But consider all the potential ways to save the money.
E .It can also help you to use sales more to your advantage.
F .Just take a moment to decide whether the buy is needed or not.
G .To avoid such a trap. it matters quite a lot to interrupt the urge.

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。
Sell products at a loss and call it a strategy That is the concept of a loss leader (低价引流产品) : a certain product that is sold below its cost 36 (attract) customers to the store, where they are likely to buy other 37 (profit) products. The most famous example is
Costco’s $1. 50 hot dog-and-soda combination, 38 deal so successful that it sells 130 million a year.
But over the past year, across the Pacific, a new king 39 (emerge). It is an ice
cream cone (甜筒) 40 typically costs 40 cents — and customers buy about 700 million a year. The Chinese company behind the cone, Mixue Ice Cream & Tea, has topped McDonald’s
and Starbucks 41 the world's largest fast-food chain by the number of stores, 42 (most) in Asia.
It did so by perfecting the modern science of making money by losing money. The classic version of the loss leader is to price a product at a low price 43 put it in the far back of the store. Chances are that customers are going to pick up other full-priced items in the store while buying that loss leader. However, Mixue stores, often small 44 (stand) , can’t direct
customers through a shopping maze (迷宫) . Instead, they put the ice cream on top of the menu, 45 (follow) by about 35 items that make money.
Though Mixue calls the cone its signature item, it sells many more drinks — more than 7billion last year. Those typically cost closer to a dollar.

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。
I reached into my backpack, feeling for my cellphone. I was tired ofAunt Letty talking on and on about her chickens, horses and cows. Worse, I was afraid of having to spend spring break at her farm.
In spite of my protest, my parents decided that spending time at the farm would be a great experience for me. My parents both grew up on farms and believed that responsibility, hard work and respect for the land were valuable lessons. “Lessons you need to learn, son,” they said.
“So, have you ever ridden a horse ” Aunt Letty asked, trying to turn my attention away from my phone.
“Hmmm, no. But I’ve seen horses on TV,” I answered, absent-minded.
“Well, we’ve got a nice horse I think you’ll like. Hercules — sounds like a beast, but he’s a gentle giant. The other animals have names too, but don’t worry, you won’t have to remember
their names. If you show up at the gate with feed, they’re happy!” she said smiling.
I glanced at my aunt, angry that I was expected to work. Vacations were meant for sleeping late, playing video games, and maybe skateboarding. I tried to text a friend.
“Phones don’t work well out here. With all the hills and valleys, it’s hard to get a connection.”
I continued texting, but she was right — there was no cell reception.
The next few days were busy. We had breakfast before dawn. Then we went out to the barn to get the feed while the animals waited to be fed. The afternoons were occupied with hauling hay,
clean-up, and caring for the animals. The animals depended on Aunt Letty, but they also provided her with affection and necessities such as eggs, milk and cheese.
At dusk, when the farm was finally quiet, Aunt Letty stretched her arms out and said, “Just take a deep breath of the sweet country air!” I, exhausted, was unable to appreciate my work.
1.续写词数应为 150 左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
On the fourth day, Aunt Letty announced, “It’s time to meet Hercules.”
After the ride, time at the farm seemed to be different.

本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍了 SmartSip 这款 500 毫升的双层不锈钢杯子,适用 于日常使用,可盛装冷热饮品,具备内置温度显示、防漏等功能,详细说明了其关键功能、组成部件、使用方法以及安全维护小贴士。
1.细节理解题。根据“Key Functions”部分中“Heat & Cold Retention(保持): The double - walled vacuum design keeps hot drinks warm for up to 12 hours and cold drinks cool for up to 24
hours.”(保温与保冷:双层真空设计可使热饮保温长达 12 小时,冷饮保冷长达 24 小时)可知, SmartSip 杯子的主要优势是能长时间将饮品保持在理想温度。故选 D 项。
2 .细节理解题。根据“Usage Instructions”部分“5. After use, empty the cup promptly. For
stubborn stains (like coffee residues), use the cleaning brush with a small amount of baking soda
to scrub gently.”(5. 使用后,及时清空杯子。对于顽固污渍(如咖啡残渣),使用清洁刷蘸少量小苏打轻轻擦洗)可知,使用 SmartSip 杯子时可以用软刷清洁杯子。故选 A 项。
3.推理判断题。根据第一段“The SmartSip is a 500ml double-walled stainless-steel cup designed for daily use, suitable for both hot and cold drinks. It features a built-in temperature display and a leak-proof lid, making it ideal for commuting, office work, and outdoor activities.(SmartSip 是一款 500 毫升的双层不锈钢杯,专为日常使用设计,冷热饮品皆适用。它配备内置温度显示屏和防漏盖,是通勤、办公及户外活动的理想之选)”可知,文章详细介绍了 SmartSip 杯子的功能、部件、使用方法以及安全维护小贴士,是对一款产品的全面介绍,最有可能出现在产品指南中。故选 B 项。
4 .A 5 .C 6 .D 7 .C
文章主要讲述了舞台格斗指导 Kate Waters 的职业经历,以及作者在她的课堂上学习舞台格斗技巧的经历,展现了 Kate 如何将武术与戏剧结合,成为一名成功的女性舞台格
斗指导。
4.细节理解题。根据文章第一段的“She wants me to hit her with my fist. But fear not, this is all strictly pretend! Kate, known in the industry as Kombat Kate, is giving a lesson on how actors
fight each other without getting hurt. 她想让我用拳头揍她。但别担心,这一切都是完全假扮出来的!业内被称为 “格斗凯特” 的凯特正在上一堂课,教演员们如何在不受伤的情况下打斗。)” 可知,Kate 让作者打她是为了展示舞台格斗技巧,教演员如何安全地进行舞台打斗。
5 .细节理解题。根据文章第二段的“It was no small order: as well as a certificate in advanced stage fighting, she would need a black belt in karate (空手道) and skill in fencing, a sport she’d
never tried before.(这可不是个小任务:除了需要高级舞台格斗证书外,她还需要空手道黑带,以及掌握一项她从未尝试过的运动 —— 击剑技能。)”可知,Kate 面临的挑战之一是必须掌握一项她不熟悉的运动 —— 击剑。
6 .词句猜测题。根据下文“In our lesson, Kate shows me how an actor will stand with his or her back to the audience ahead of a planned slap (拍). When the slap comes it makes contact not with the skin but with the air: the actor hits his chest or leg to make the sound of the slap.(在我们的课上,凯特向我展示了演员在计划好的拍打动作前如何背对观众。当拍打动作发生时,手掌并没有接触皮肤,而是打在空气中:演员会拍打自己的胸部或腿部来制造拍打声。)”可知,舞台格斗并不是真实的打斗,而是通过技巧制造出逼真的效果,具有误导性。因此 “smoke and mirrors” 在此处意为 “一种误导性的表演”。
7.推理判断题。根据文章第四段的“She laughs, “Oh, I’d be awful,” she says. “I only know how to pretend.” I can’t help thinking, however, that she’s just being rather humble.(她笑着说:“ 哦,那我会很糟糕的。”她说道,“我只会懂得如何假装罢了。”然而,我不禁觉得她只是太谦虚了。)”可知,作者认为 Kate 说自己在真实打斗中会很糟糕,其实是一种谦虚的说法,暗示她的真实打斗能力可能比她自己承认的要好。
8 .B 9 .C 10 .D 11 .C
本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍雌性蚂蚁通过化学手段潜入蚁群、诱杀蚁后并取而代之的秘密策略。
8 .推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Biologist E.O. Wilson once wrote that “ants are the most
warlike of all animals”, noting that fights between ant colonies (蚁群) were far bigger than the
human battles at Waterloo and Gettysburg.(生物学家 E.O.威尔逊曾写道“蚂蚁是所有动物中最好战的” ,他指出蚁群之间的战斗规模远比滑铁卢战役和葛底斯堡战役这些人类战役要大得多。)”可知,作者提及这两场人类战役,是为了通过对比突出蚁群争斗的规模之大。故选 B项。
9.细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The experts gave females the opportunity to do this in the lab, letting them interact with workers from two other species.(专家们在实验室里为雌性蚂蚁提供了这样做的机会,让它们与另外两个物种的工蚁进行接触。)”可知,专家在实验室中让雌性蚂蚁和外来物种的工蚁产生接触。故选 C 项。
10 .推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Then, the scientists discovered a female made her way
through a colony towards its queen. Once she reached the queen, she shot some liquid to cover the
queen, and then pulled back. “My guess is that it was a kind of chemical,” says Takasuka. That’s
used by some ants as a defense, or to signal danger. Whatever it was, putting this chemical onto
the queen had a dramatic effect. Large groups of workers who had been loyal, ready to lay down
their lives to protect their queen — who was their biological mother — suddenly turned on her,
attacking her violently until she was dead.(随后,科学家们发现一只雌性蚂蚁穿过蚁群,径直走向蚁后。它一靠近蚁后,就喷射出某种液体覆盖在蚁后身上,随即退到一旁。“我猜测这是一种化学物质,”Takasuka 表示,“这种物质被一些蚂蚁用作防御手段,或是用来发出危险信号。” 不管这种物质究竟是什么,将它附着在蚁后身上产生了极具戏剧性的效果。那些原本忠心耿耿、甘愿舍命保护身为自己生母的蚁后的大批工蚁,突然反过来攻击蚁后,对其猛烈撕咬,直至蚁后死亡)”可知,工蚁是因为蚁后身上被覆盖了外来的化学液体,气味发生改变,才被误导攻击并杀死蚁后的。故选 D 项。
11.主旨大意题。通读全文以及根据第一段“Biologist E.O. Wilson once wrote that “ants are the most warlike of all animals”, noting that fights between ant colonies (蚁群) were far bigger than
the human battles at Waterloo and Gettysburg. But sometimes ant colonies get taken over not by
direct warfare, but by secret action. In fact, sometimes the members of an ant colony can get
tricked into murdering their own precious queen.(生物学家 E.O. 威尔逊曾写道,“蚂蚁是所有 动物中最好战的” ,他指出蚁群之间的争斗规模,远比滑铁卢战役和葛底斯堡战役这两场人类战役要大得多。但有时,蚁群的覆灭并非源于正面厮杀,而是来自隐秘的计谋。事实上,蚁群中的成员甚至会被诱骗,亲手杀死自己宝贵的蚁后)”可知,短文内容是雌性蚂蚁利用化学信号伪装自己,再通过喷射化学液体改变蚁后气味,诱使工蚁杀死蚁后,从而成功篡夺蚁后位置。因此 C 选项 Chemical Tricks for New Queens“新蚁后的化学诡计”为最佳标题。故选 C 项。

本文是一篇说明文,主要讲的是护林员 Martin Roth 如何利用高科技手段应对现代林业面临的挑战。
12 .细节理解题。根据第一段“Now, with climate change, it’s more about planning for an
uncertain future. “It’s turned into disaster management,” says Roth, for whom the 3,000 acres of
forest along the northeastern shore of Lake Constance in Germany act as testing ground for
high-tech solutions, earning him the nickname “digital forest ranger” in the German forestry
community.(现在,随着气候变化,更多的是关于为不确定的未来做计划。“它已经变成了灾
难管理,”Roth 说,对他来说,德国康斯坦茨湖东北岸的 3000 英亩森林是高科技解决方案的试验场,在德国林业界,他赢得了“数字护林员” 的绰号)”可知,气候变化使 Martin Roth的工作转向了管理意外灾难。故选 D 项。
13.细节理解题。根据第二段“While it used to take Roth two and a half hours to cover an acre of forest on foot, drones (无人机) now let him survey the entire 3,000 acres in a matter of days, so he can quickly locate damaged trees, identify and inform the owners of affected plots, and send
information to workers on the ground.(过去,罗斯需要两个半小时才能步行覆盖一英亩的森林,而现在,无人机可以让他在几天内调查整个 3000 英亩的森林,这样他就可以快速定位受损的树木,识别并通知受影响地块的所有者,并将信息发送给地面工作人员)”可知,无人机可以有效评估森林损害。故选 B 项。
14 .词句猜测题。根据前文“But he warns that technology can never replace a walk through the forest: “I should never believe that the digital twin is reality.(但他警告称,技术永远无法替代漫步森林的体验:“我绝不认为数字孪生就是现实。”)”可知,Roth 认为技术永远无法替代漫步森林的体验,不认为数字孪生就是现实,所以他需要现实检查,所以 reality check 意为“虚拟模型不能完全取代现场检查” 。故选 D 项。
15.推理判断题。根据第一段“When Martin Roth began his career as a forest ranger in the 1980s, his job was to care for the forest in a way that would ensure continuity for decades, even centuries. Now, with climate change, it’s more about planning for an uncertain future. “It’s turned into
disaster management,” says Roth, for whom the 3,000 acres of forest along the northeastern shore of Lake Constance in Germany act as testing ground for high-tech solutions, earning him the
nickname “digital forest ranger” in the German forestry community.(当 Martin Roth 在 20 世纪 80年代开始他的护林员职业生涯时,他的工作就是以一种能够确保森林在几十年甚至几个世纪内保持连续性的方式来照顾森林。现在,随着气候变化,更多的是关于为不确定的未来做计划。“它已经变成了灾难管理,”Roth 说,对他来说,德国康斯坦茨湖东北岸的 3000 英亩森林是高科技解决方案的试验场,在德国林业界,他赢得了“数字护林员” 的绰号)”以及纵观全文可知,本文主要讲述了护林员 Martin Roth 如何利用高科技手段应对现代林业面临的挑战,所以本文目的是介绍科技如何改变现代林业。故选 C 项。

“numbers”与下文的“doing the math”相呼应。故选 C 项。

benefit global health, and practices such as acupuncture have been widely accepted worldwide. As a bright pearl of world civilization, TCM boosts our cultural confidence and keeps contributing to human well-being.
47 .Para 1: On the fourth day, Aunt Letty announced, “It’s time to meet Hercules.” “You must be joking!” I responded, a flush of fright sweeping over me. Aunt Letty, grinning, headed to the
stable. Then in front of me was Hercules, standing over 2 meters high. A horrible dark giant! I
backed away, shooting an angry glance at my aunt. “Oh, man, come on! He’s anything but a
beast!” she encouraged me. Sensing her insistence, I scratched my head and shuffled to Hercules. Aunt Letty helped me mount the horse and handed me the rein. Flicking his head and shaking his body, Hercules moved off, with a stiff me on it. "Relax!" Aunt said, trotting just beside us.
Gradually, I adjusted myself, following Aunt’s instructions. And then, I was enjoying the gentle rhythmic jolts.
Para 2: After the ride, time at the farm seemed to be different. I had a friend, Hercules. The gentle giant, every evening, immersed in the setting sun, gracefully carried me strolling or galloping at
the farm. And I had Aunt Letty. She, from dawn to dusk, tirelessly, cared for the animals and did the manual work, showing me responsibility, hard work and respect. And she did enjoy the busy and seemingly boring routine. Infected, I also began to appreciate my labor. It paid to work hard! Life was fulfilling and the animals rewarded us with affection and nice food. One day after
enjoying some tasty cheese my dear aunt made, I picked up the phone, prepared to tell my parents the spring break would be a great experience.
