A

If you’re concerned about the cost of gas and the environmental impact of gas-powered cars, and don’t want to worry about the charging challenges associated with the pure electric vehicle (EV), it’s time to take a closer look at a hybrid (混合的) electric vehicle (HEV). While salespeople might simply advise you to “plug in daily and use gas for longer trips,” understanding the underlying mechanics is key to determining if an HEV truly fits your needs. Essentially, an HEV offers you the best of gas cars and EVs.

An HEV has two sources of power: an internal combustion (燃烧) engine (ICE) and at least one electric motor. There are two main types of HEV: parallel (并联式) hybrid and series hybrid.

The parallel hybrid (PHEV) aims to keep the core designs of the conventional gas-powered vehicles while lowering the operation costs and improving the environmental performance. Reduced to its basics, its system uses ICE and electric motors to power the wheels — either together or independently. This structure performs reliably on long-distance journeys and complex road conditions, where the combustion engine operates efficiently.

In the case of series hybrid (SHEV), the vehicle runs only on electricity, which is from the battery. When the battery is exhausted, the ICE switches on — not to drive the wheels directly, but to power the generator and charge the battery. This setup offers smoother and quieter driving operation which is similar to pure electric vehicles. It’s generally more eco-friendly, and further reduces the cost of use.

In today’s market, conventional gas cars are going significantly cheaper, while stylish pure electric vehicles have become symbols of modern status. The HEV, striking a practical balance between these two extremes, certainly deserves a closer look.

21. What is an advantage of HEVs compared with other types of vehicles?

A. They’re simpler in design.B.They’re cheaper to purchase.

C. They’re more eco-friendly.D.They’re more practical to use.

22. What does the ICE in a series hybrid car directly work on?

A. Replacing the generator.B. Driving the wheels.C. Starting the electric motor.D. Charging the battery.

23. In which aspect are PHEVs generally better than SHEVs?

A. Mountain road driving.B. In-city transportation.C. Waste gases production.D. Vehicle running costs.

B

To see Garnett Puett’s latest sculpture at the Hammer Museum, you have to enter a dark room protected by a series of heavy curtains. Inside, glowing red light lights up a glass cage. Within the cage are three human figures with a large group of insects crawling over them. The bees move slowly over the faces of the figures. The colony of bees is so thick in places, it looks like fur (毛皮) growing on the statue — fur that moves.

“Woah.” “I’ve never seen.” Visitors say as they enter the silent room.

Puett has been making his “apisculptures”, using metal, beeswax (蜂蜡) and colonies of live bees, for four decades now. It’s art with a purpose: Puett wants to remind viewers of the power and creativity of bees, whose survival is under threat around the world. “It’s sort of subconscious advertising,” Puett said. “Bees are good.”

In the 1980s, when Puett’s bee sculptures first became an art world hit, people just thought he was a guy playing with bees. Actually, his use of bees came from a deep family tradition. He grew up as a fourth-generation beekeeper, whose family had worked with bees since the 1700s. His great-grandfather raised queen bees, passing the business down to his son and grandson. Puett worked on those farms as a teenager, starting with the simplest tasks. His bee farm experience has resulted in precision in the art he makes with bee colonies.

In the four decades since the eco-artist withdrew somewhat from the art world, he moved to Hawaii, where he and his family have spent three decades running an organic honey farm. The work is challenging and labor intensive. That work has put him on the frontlines of dealing with threats to bee populations. Foreign species have killed numerous bees on his family’s farm, shrinking the number of surviving beehives (蜂巢) from 4,000 to about 2,000 in the past 15 years.

“People used to call me up really mad saying words I can’t repeat if the hives were bothering them,” relates Puett with a laugh. “But since we lost half the bee population within two years, people are more aware of their importance and are far more understanding and appreciative. That’s been the one bright side to all this difficulty.”

24. What do visitors think of Puett’s bee sculpture?

A. It is controversial.B. It is revolutionary.C. It is innovative.D. It is educational.

25. Why did Puett make his “apisculptures”?

A. To commercialize bee products.B.To advocate for bees through art.

C. To offer a shelter for threatened bees.D.To illustrate a new method of sculpture.

26. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 4?

A. Introduce the background of the bee art.B.Summarize the history of beekeeping.

C. Provide bee-themed activities for kids.D.Add four generations under one roof.

27. What was the impact of the bee population loss?

A. People became tolerant of Puett.B.Puett downsized his beekeeping.

C. Puett shifted his focus to his sculptures.D.Public perception of bees has been improved.

C

Are you an open book, your face broadcasting every passing emotion, or more of a poker face, not showing what you are feeling? Scientists at Nottingham Trent University (NTU) say that wearing your heart on your face could actually give you a significant social advantage.

The study, led by Eithne Kavanagh, a research fellow at NTU’s School of Social Sciences, involving over 1,300 participants, noticed striking variations in how much people moved their faces during conversations. Importantly, this expressiveness emerged as a stable individual quality. People displayed similar levels of facial expressiveness across different contexts, with different social partners, and even over time periods up to four months.

The researchers say that facial expressiveness is linked to personality, with more agreeable individuals displaying more lively faces. Facial expressiveness can also translate into concrete social benefits. In a negotiation task, more expressive individuals are more likely to secure a larger slice of a reward. The researchers suggest that agreeable, dynamic facial expressions may serve as a tool for building good relationships and smoothing over conflicts. Across the board, the results point to facial expressiveness serving an “affiliative (有亲和力的) function”, or a social glue that develops liking and smoother interactions.

Expressiveness is also linked to being seen as more “readable”, suggesting that a lively face makes one’s intentions and mental states easier for others to decipher. Beyond frequency of facial movements, people who employ facial expressions more strategically to suit social goals, such as looking friendly in a greeting, are also more well-liked.

The findings challenge the “poker face” common belief that a still and unemotional appearance is always most advantageous. Instead, they suggest that for most people, allowing one’s face to mirror inner states and intentions can invite warmer reactions. As the researchers conclude, “Being facially expressive is socially advantageous.” So, next time you catch yourself making lines on your forehead, or flashing a smile, know that your face just might be working on your behalf.

28. What can we learn about the study from the first two paragraphs?

A. Poker faces bring social edge.B.1,300 participants hid emotions.

C. Expressiveness is a consistent trait.D.Contexts change facial movements.

29. What may facial expressiveness serve as in negotiation settings?

A. A method to hide personality.B.A way to frighten competitors.

C. A strategy to settle disagreement.D.A tool to show personal qualities.

30. What does the underlined word “decipher” in paragraph 4 probably mean?

A. Imitate.B. Overlook.C.Convey.D.Interpret.

31. What may the author advise based on the findings of the study?

A. Always wearing a still face.B.Learning to be an open book.

C. Speaking out inner emotions.D.Forcing a smile through tears.

D

MIAMI BEACH — South Florida is seeing a wave of new cars, but they won’t add to traffic. That’s because the cars are made of marine-grade (海洋级) concrete and were placed underwater. Over several days late last month, 22 life-size cars were lowered into the ocean, several hundred feet off South Beach. 

The project, called “Concrete coral”, was organized by the nonprofit REEFLINE, a group known for building underwater sculpture parks as a way to create human-made coral reefs (珊瑚礁). And 2,200 native corals grown in a nearby Miami lab will soon be added to the underwater structure, which will serve as a habitat rich in ocean biodiversity. “I think we are making history here,” said Ximena Caminos, the group’s founder. “It’s a kind of underwater reef that’s teaming up with science, teaming up with art.”

Colin Foord, who runs the Miami coral lab, explained that they will soon start the planting process to create a forest of soft corals over the car sculptures. He said, “Nature will take over again, and we’re helping by growing the soft corals.” Foord is confident that the native Gorgon corals will boom because they were grown from survivors of the 2023 marine heat crisis which destroyed vast quantities of Florida corals. 

Besides the project serving as a testing ground for new coral transplantation, Miami Beach governor Steven Meiner expects it to generate local jobs through ecotourism activities. The nonprofit also offers community education programs, where volunteers can plant corals alongside scientists, and a floating ocean learning center, where participants can gain firsthand experience in coral protection. 

Caminos acknowledges that the underwater structure won’t fix all the problems — such as climate change and sea level rise — but she said it can serve as a driving force for dialogue about the value of coastal ecosystems.

32. Why were the concrete cars placed underwater?

A. To ease the traffic pressure.B.To breathe life into the ocean.

C. To promote a new art form.D.To make a home for corals.

33. What is the main reason for Foord’s growing the Gorgon corals?

A. Its soft nature.B.Its fast reproduction rate.

C. Its unique beauty.D.Its strong ability to survive.

34. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?

A. Solutions to potential problems.B.Chain benefits of the project.

C. Expectations for new experiences.D.Responsibilities of the nonprofit.

35. What is Caminos’ attitude towards the project?

A. Concerned.B. Optimistic.C. Doubtful.D.Opposed.

Martin Luther King, Jr. once said, “Only when it is dark enough can you see the stars.” ___36___ Darkness and fear may cloud our vision, but moments of light — like flashes in a storm — reveal that our goals and dreams remain.

When overwhelmed by uncertainty, helplessness often takes over. Yet, as Thich Naht Hanh teaches, “The only way out is in.” ___37___ Positive psychology shows that trusting yourself depends on cultivating inner peace and recognizing your character strengths.

Researchers studied 16,716 individuals from over 50 countries to understand traits linked to self-trust during uncertainty. They found that those with strong trust consistently reported greater inner peace. This group excelled in three emotional character strengths — gratitude, love, and hope. ___38___

Gratitude, the most studied of the three, is particularly powerful. It focuses on what has already happened, requiring no invention or manipulation. ___39___ Instead of recalling only average events, asking for “three things you were grateful for yesterday” directs the brain to retrieve positive experiences. Over time, this reshapes our perspective, helping us savor moments and feel better. Daily challenges — political, financial, or personal — are unavoidable, but they need not consume us. By practicing gratitude, we train our minds to notice what uplifts us. This shift in perception fosters self-trust, reminding us that peace and strength lie within. 

___40___ Savor them. This simple practice opens the door to inner peace, proving that storms may rage, but stars still shine. With gratitude comes self-trust, and with self-trust comes a life of resilience and meaning.

A. Practicing gratitude changes how our brain searches memories.

B. This reminds us that even in difficult times, we can find guidance and hope.

C. Inner strength allows us to shift our focus inwardfinding calm amid chaos.

E. They promote harmony and resilience, and importantly, they can be taught and developed.

F. These strengths are valuable as they arise naturally in times of crisis and play a vital role in hardship.

G. It mainly helps people forget negative experiences, allowing the brain to erase unpleasant memories over time.

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。

When I arrived home from school, night was falling. A call came from the public: a bird of unknown species was being attacked by a group of noisy children in his front garden. He scared them off and grabbed their victim. I immediately called for my classmate Jack to the spot.

We were standing in front of a stranger’s house in an unfamiliar streetrescue box in hand. My head full of instructions to follow. “The bird would be our first test as a volunteer wildlife rescuer!” Jack said excitedly. We had completed the two-day intensive training course the previous month and learned the basic skills of rescuing animals in various situations.

But we were anxious, too. After all, it was the first time for us to rescue a bird. Would I be able to transfer the bird neatly into my rescue box? Many worries flashed in my mind. Sensing my unease about the act ahead, Jack said, “These things are pretty easy to deal with!”

I was wondering what kind of bird it was when a kind-looking man appeared and led us inside to see our very first patient. I lifted the edge of the shoe box very slightly to see an angry-looking bird standing to attention on very thin and long legs, together with a slice of banana and a small dish of water. He didn’t know its true name but the folks called the creature Red Fan. “It’s eaten some banana,” said the man proudly. The poor soul seemed rather nervous, so l decided not to grab it by hand but just transfer the whole shoe box into my rescue box.

Back home, we could only see some minor injuries in the left wing, but there was no blood on its feathers. Jack managed to treat the injuries with some iodophor (碘伏药水). We assessed its condition to find out if it was appropriate to release the bird the next day. How could we help it spend the night peacefully? We hadn’t seen this species of bird before, let alone its habits.

注意：

1. 续写词数要求应为150左右；

2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

“Why not do a search on the Internet?” suggested Jack.

The next day, we were glad to see the bird was well enough.

【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者访问北京，被长城、美食和文化震撼。游览胡同、故宫等地标后，他对中国历史与现代共存的景象印象深刻，也更客观地认识世界。

【56题详解】

考查动词时态和语态。句意：我被拥有五千多年历史的古老文化以及友好的人民所深深打动，从而更加欣赏中国社会的传统和生活方式。主语I与动词 impress（给……留下深刻印象）之间是被动关系，即“我被……所打动”。be impressed by...（对……印象深刻）为固定短语，结合上文时态可知，该句应为陈述过去发生的事情，为一般过去时。故填was impressed。

【57题详解】

考查名词。句意：当我探索北京的老胡同，体验当地生活和传统时，我对中国的文化与历史有了新的认识。空格前有不定冠词an，说明此处需要填入一个名词作made的宾语。故填exploration。

【58题详解】

考查动名词。句意：漫步于小巷，参观当地人家，让我对传统生活以及中国人对自身文化遗产的自豪感有了深刻的认识。句子的谓语动词是offered，因此空格处需要填入动名词形式作主语。Walking through... and visiting... 是并列的动名词短语作主语。故填Walking。

【59题详解】

考查固定短语。句意：漫步于小巷，参观当地人家，让我对传统生活以及中国人对自身文化遗产的自豪感有了深刻的认识。分析句子可知，have pride in...（为……感到自豪）为固定短语。故填in。

【60题详解】

考查名词复数形式。句意：在北京的参观之旅中，比如参观故宫、天安门广场和长城等著名景点，让我对现代建筑与保存完好的历史遗迹和谐共存的景象印象深刻。空格前是介词with，需要填入名词作宾语。作者参观了多个地标（故宫、天安门、长城），因此用复数形式visits。故填visits。

【61题详解】

考查副词。句意：在北京的参观之旅中，比如参观故宫、天安门广场和长城等著名景点，让我对现代建筑与保存完好的历史遗迹和谐共存的景象印象深刻。空格修饰动词coexists（共存），修饰动词需要用副词harmoniously。故填harmoniously。

【62题详解】

考查主语从句。句意：到达那里时，我被眼前的景象所震撼。分析句子可知，介词 by后面是一个宾语从句，从句中 see 缺少宾语（看到的东西）。连接代词what在从句中作宾语，指代“所……的事物”。故填what。

【63题详解】

考查连词。句意：这不仅仅是一项工程上的奇迹，更是一座连接中国历史与现代的桥梁，让我深刻意识到中国的历史远比我的国家悠久。分析句子可知，此处为固定句型not just... but (also)...（不仅……而且……），所以此处为连词but。故填but。

【64题详解】

考查非谓语动词。句意：这不仅仅是一项工程上的奇迹，更是一座连接中国历史与现代的桥梁，让我深刻意识到中国的历史远比我的国家悠久。分析句子可知，此处为非谓语动词作状语，compare和逻辑主语China为被动关系，所以为过去分词形式。故填compared。

【65题详解】

考查形容词。句意：我对中国之行让我能够客观地看待世界，而且我不再对那些只在书中读到过的国家一无所知了。空格前是系动词 am，需要填入形容词作表语。构成固定短语be ignorant about...（对……一无所知 / 不了解）。故填ignorant。

One possible version:

“Why not do a search on the Internet?” suggested Jack. We acted quickly and surfed the Internet to figure out the relevant information about the bird, such as its species and habits. Following the given advice, we put some cotton at the bottom of the box to keep it warm and placed it near the fireplace. In order to recover its energy, we gave it some food and water. The bird looked a bit more comfortable, and soon it fell asleep. Having ensured the bird was in good condition, we felt relieved.

The next day, we were glad to see the bird was well enough.It was singing and bouncing around in the rescue box. Obviously, it had regained its energy! Realizing it was fully ready for freedom, we took the box outside, placed the bird in my palm and petted it softly with mixed feelings. I held the bird up and let it go. The bird was circling above us as if to express gratitude. Jack and I looked at each other with a broad smile, feeling that we were qualified volunteer wildlife rescuers now.

W: Are you going to the book fair tomorrow?

M: I wouldn’t miss it for the world. My favorite writer is going to recommend a new book then.

W: But I think your history project needs to be finished tomorrow.

M: Well, there’s no rush.

Text 2

M: Jennifer, you just clocked your fastest time ever! If you had been three seconds faster, you would have broken the school record this year.

W: My time is 10 seconds slower than the national record. I still have a lot of work to do.

Text 3

W: Tom, are you going to talk with Allen’s parents?

M: Yes. Allen is doing well in his studies. And he gets on well with his classmates. But he is always late.

W: Yeah, I caught him coming late for my class several times.

Text 4

W: The five of you will give a presentation on Thursday. Each presentation should be about 10 minutes. I expect to see all of you at 3:00 p.m.,but the first presentation won’t start until 3:15 p.m.

M: Am I going first, Mrs. Roberts?

W: Yes.

M: You should have a good weekend break, like going for a picnic.

W: But the weather forecast said it was going to be cold.

M: Oh, that’s a shame. Do you think it will rain?

Text 6

M: Have you applied for the field trip?

W: Not yet, but I’m definitely going to do it tomorrow.

M: Make sure you submit the application on time. It’s due this Friday.

W: Thanks. Actually, I’ve never been to the Natural Science Museum before.

M: Me neither. I just checked out their website and a temporary exhibition called Wisdom of Plants caught my interest.

W: Cool, but I’m more excited that they’re inviting well-known researchers to give talks on life and wellness.

M: Indeed, I hope we’re lucky enough to have some discussions after that.

M: Hi, I’d like to check in for Flight 328. Here is my passport.

W: Thank you. I’m afraid your checked bag is overweight by 6 kilos. The limit is 20 kilos.

M: Oh dear. What are my options here?

W: You can pay $180, or perhaps repack some items into your carry-on. But remember the carry-on limit.

M: I’ll just pay the money. Also, can I change to a window seat if possible?

W: Let me check. We have a standard window seat in row 25, and an exit row window seat in row 12 with extra legroom.

M: I prefer the one closer to the front.

W: That is the one in row 12. You must be physically able and willing to assist in case of emergency, right?

M: Yes, that’s perfectly fine.

W: Excellent. Here’s your boarding pass.

M: I hear you went to Paris last week. How did you get there?

W: I got the train from London. It was really quick and very comfortable, even in standard class.

M: That’s a bit of a comedown for you.

W: I must admit that I like traveling in style, but I also can’t resist an attractive price. I saw a very good deal online and just had to go for it!

M: Then you stayed in an expensive hotel?

W: I actually found somewhere that was also good value for money. It wasn’t right in the center but very close to a subway station.

M: Did you visit art galleries and go on a boat trip on the Seine River?

W: Absolutely not! With the money I’d saved, I ended up going to some wonderful restaurants. The bills were more than what I spent on my train ticket or the hotel.

M: Hi, Lily! I heard you’re running a second-hand market this Saturday.

W: Actually, we decided to move it to Sunday because of the expected heavy rain on Friday and Saturday. It’ll be in the school stadium from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Are you planning to join?

M: Yes, I have some old textbooks and homemade cookies to sell.

W: Textbooks are perfect, but food isn’t allowed because we can’t check if it’s safe or fresh. You can sell used books, sports things, or handmade crafts. You can also exchange your things if both people agree. Oh, we’re also encouraging talent-based fundraising — like singing or drawing for donations.

M: That sounds fun! So what should I do to get a table?

W: Just complete a simple online form by Thursday night. We’ll tell you your table number on Friday.

M: Okay. How are you letting people know about the change and the talent part?

W: We’re putting up new posters and sending updates in the student chat group. Could you help spread the word?

M: Of course! I’ll tell my classmates.

W: Thanks for your help. Let’s make the market fun and green!

M: Good morning, everyone, and welcome to the Annual Ski and Snowboard Exhibition held from April 8th to 17th. I am Mark Granger, organizer of the event this year. The event features many highlights.

This might be the first time some of you have come here. So for those who are still wondering about the right accommodation, I recommend Sky Hotel. It has its own health and sports clubs just like most of the hotels here, but I love it because of its incredibly comfortable beds which guarantee a good rest after a tiring day of exploration.

Many have posed the question as to how to enter the skiing and snowboarding competition. Well, rather than filling out the back of the entrance ticket or flooding the committee with emails, the most effective method is by paying attention to the exhibition newsletter delivered every month for availability.

As the most beloved local event, the exhibition has also drawn attention from the press. Last year, massive media expressed concern over the low snowfall. In order to avoid the same situation, several artificial ski runs have been built. With more participants this year, we have lowered the entrance fee, which has been widely reported by local newspapers.

21—23. DDA

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了混合动力汽车的工作原理、主要类型以及两种类型在不同方面的差异。

【21题详解】

细节理解题。根据第一段“While salespeople might simply advise you to “plug in daily and use gas for longer trips,” understanding the underlying mechanics is key to determining if an HEV truly fits your needs. Essentially, an HEV offers you the best of gas cars and EVs.(虽然销售人员可能只是建议你“每天插电，长途旅行使用汽油”，但了解其基本原理是确定混合动力汽车是否真正符合你需求的关键。从本质上讲，混合动力汽车为你提供了汽油车和电动汽车的最佳性能)”和最后一段“The HEV, striking a practical balance between these two extremes, certainly deserves a closer look. (HEV在这两个极端之间达到了实用的平衡，当然值得更仔细地审视)”可知，文章强调HEV结合了燃油车和电动车的优点，达到了实用性的平衡。因此，与其他类型车辆相比，HEV的优势在于更实用。故选D项。

【22题详解】

细节理解题。根据第四段“When the battery is exhausted, the ICE switches on — not to drive the wheels directly, but to power the generator and charge the battery.(当电池耗尽时，内燃机启动——不是直接驱动车轮，而是为发电机提供动力并为电池充电)”可知，串联混合动力汽车中的内燃机直接为电池充电。故选D项。

【23题详解】

推理判断题。根据第三段“The parallel hybrid (PHEV) aims to keep the core designs of the conventional gas-powered vehicles while lowering the operation costs and improving the environmental performance. Reduced to its basics, its system uses ICE and electric motors to power the wheels — either together or independently. This structure performs reliably on long-distance journeys and complex road conditions, where the combustion engine operates efficiently.(并联混合动力(PHEV)旨在保持传统汽油动力汽车的核心设计，同时降低运营成本，提高环保性能。从根本上说，它的系统使用内燃机和电动机为车轮提供动力——可以一起使用，也可以独立使用。这种结构在长途旅行和复杂路况下表现可靠，内燃机在这种情况下运行效率很高)”和表格中关于Parallel Hybrid(PHEV插电式混合动力汽车)和Series hybrid(SHEV串联式混合动力)的对比可知，PHEV更适合长途和复杂路况驾驶。而“Mountain road driving (山路驾驶)”属于典型的复杂路况，需要更高的动力性能和可靠的长途适应性，因此PHEV在这方面比SHEV更好。故选A项。

【24题详解】

推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Within the cage are three human figures with a large group of insects crawling over them. The bees move slowly over the faces of the figures. The colony of bees is so thick in places, it looks like fur (毛皮) growing on the statue — fur that moves. (笼子里有三尊人体雕塑，身上爬满了一大群昆虫。蜜蜂在雕塑的脸上缓缓移动，各处的蜂群密集得像雕塑上长出的毛皮——会动的毛皮。)”以及第二段中的““Woah.” “I’ve never seen.” Visitors say as they enter the silent room. (参观者走进这个安静的房间时，都会发出“哇”“我从没见过这样的东西”的惊叹。)”可知，参观者从未见过以活蜜蜂为创作元素的雕塑作品，对这种新颖的艺术形式感到惊叹，体现出他们认为该作品极具创新性。故选C项。

【25题详解】

细节理解题。根据第三段中的“It’s art with a purpose: Puett wants to remind viewers of the power and creativity of bees, whose survival is under threat around the world. “It’s sort of subconscious advertising,” Puett said. “Bees are good.” (这是带有使命的艺术：普埃特希望提醒观者蜜蜂所拥有的力量与创造力，而如今蜜蜂的生存正受到全球范围的威胁。普埃特说；“这算是一种潜意识的宣传，想让大家知道蜜蜂是有益的”)”可知，普埃特创作蜜蜂雕塑的核心目的是通过艺术形式倡导人们关注蜜蜂、重视蜜蜂的生存现状。故选B项。

【26题详解】

推理判断题。根据第四段中的“In the 1980s, when Puett’s bee sculptures first became an art world hit, people just thought he was a guy playing with bees. Actually, his use of bees came from a deep family tradition. (上世纪80年代，普埃特的蜜蜂雕塑首次在艺术界走红时，人们只觉得他是个玩蜜蜂的人。而事实上，他将蜜蜂融入创作源于深厚的家族传统。)”、“He grew up as a fourth-generation beekeeper, whose family had worked with bees since the 1700s. (他是第四代养蜂人，自18世纪起，他的家族就以养蜂为生。)”以及“His bee farm experience has resulted in precision in the art he makes with bee colonies. (他的养蜂场经历，让他创作的蜜蜂主题艺术作品兼具专业性与精准度。)”可知，作者写该段的核心目的是介绍普埃特创作蜜蜂艺术的背景，解释其为何能将蜜蜂与艺术结合，让读者理解其创作的由来。故选A项。

【27题详解】

细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Foreign species have killed numerous bees on his family’s farm, shrinking the number of surviving beehives from 4,000 to about 2,000 in the past 15 years. (外来物种在他家的养蜂场害死了大量蜜蜂，过去15年里，存活的蜂巢数量从4000个锐减至约2000个。)”以及最后一段“But since we lost half the bee population within two years, people are more aware of their importance and are far more understanding and appreciative. (但在两年内蜜蜂数量减少一半后，人们愈发意识到它们的重要性，也变得更加理解和珍惜蜜蜂。)”可知，蜜蜂数量的锐减带来的直接影响是公众对蜜蜂的认知和看法发生了积极转变，开始重视蜜蜂的价值。故选D项。

【28题详解】

细节理解题。根据第2段中“Importantly, this expressiveness emerged as a stable individual quality. People displayed similar levels of facial expressiveness across different contexts, with different social partners, and even over time periods up to four months.(重要的是，这种面部表达能力是一种稳定的个人特质。人们在不同情境、与不同社交对象相处时，甚至在长达四个月的时间里，都表现出相似程度的面部表达能力。)”可知，面部表达能力是一种始终如一的特质。故选C。

【29题详解】

推理判断题。根据第3段中“In a negotiation task, more expressive individuals are more likely to secure a larger slice of a reward. The researchers suggest that agreeable, dynamic facial expressions may serve as a tool for building good relationships and smoothing over conflicts.(在谈判任务中，面部表情更丰富的人更有可能获得更多的奖励。研究人员认为，亲和、生动的面部表情可以成为建立良好关系和化解冲突的工具。)”可知，面部表达能力在谈判场景中可作为化解分歧的策略。故选C。

【30题详解】

词句猜测题。根据第4段中“Expressiveness is also linked to being seen as more ‘readable’, suggesting that a lively face makes one’s intentions and mental states easier for others to decipher.(面部表达能力还与被认为更‘可读’相关，这意味着生动的面部表情能让他人更容易……一个人的意图和心理状态。)”可知，前文提到“可读”，后文应表示“理解、解读”之意，故“decipher”与“readable”语义相近，意为“解读、破译”。故选D。

【31题详解】

推理判断题。根据第1段中“Scientists at Nottingham Trent University (NTU) say that wearing your heart on your face could actually give you a significant social advantage.(诺丁汉特伦特大学的科学家表示，把情绪写在脸上实际上能给你带来显著的社交优势。)”以及最后一段中“Instead, they suggest that for most people, allowing one’s face to mirror inner states and intentions can invite warmer reactions.(相反，他们认为对大多数人来说，让面部反映出内心的状态和意图能获得更热情的回应。)”可知，作者基于研究发现会建议人们学会把情绪写在脸上。故选B。

【33题详解】

推理判断题。根据第三段“Foord is confident that the native Gorgon corals will boom because they were grown from survivors of the 2023 marine heat crisis which destroyed vast quantities of Florida corals. (福德相信这种本地柳珊瑚会大量繁殖，因为它们是从2023年海洋热危机的幸存者中培育出来的，那场危机摧毁了佛罗里达州大量的珊瑚。)”可知，福德选择培育柳珊瑚的主要原因是它具有强大的生存能力。故选D项。

【34题详解】

主旨大意题。根据第四段“Besides the project serving as a testing ground for new coral transplantation, Miami Beach governor Steven Meiner expects it to generate local jobs through ecotourism activities. The nonprofit also offers community education programs, where volunteers can plant corals alongside scientists, and a floating ocean learning center, where participants can gain firsthand experience in coral protection.(除了作为新珊瑚移植技术的试验场之外，迈阿密滩州长史蒂文・迈纳还期望该项目能借助生态旅游活动创造本地就业岗位。这家非营利机构还推出了社区教育项目—— 志愿者可与科学家并肩参与珊瑚种植工作，同时设立了一座海上浮动海洋科普中心，参与者能在这里获得珊瑚保护的第一手实践经验。)”可知，该段主要讲述了这个项目带来的一系列连带益处。故选B项。

【35题详解】

推理判断题。根据第二段“I think we are making history here, (我认为我们正在创造历史，)”以及最后一段“Caminos acknowledges that the underwater structure won’t fix all the problems — such as climate change and sea level rise — but she said it can serve as a driving force for dialogue about the value of coastal ecosystems.(卡米诺斯承认，这座水下构筑物无法解决所有问题——例如气候变化和海平面上升等问题——但她表示，该构筑物可以成为推动人们探讨海岸生态系统价值的驱动力。)”可知，卡米诺斯对这个项目的态度是乐观的。故选B项。

Yet, as Thich Naht Hanh teaches, “The only way out is in.” (当被不确定性淹没时，无助感往往会取而代之。然而，正如一行禅师所说，“唯一的出路在内。”)”提到无助感与一行禅师的“出路在内”，后文“Positive psychology shows that trusting yourself depends on cultivating inner peace and recognizing your character strengths. (积极心理学表明，信任自己取决于培养内心平静和认识到自己的性格优势)”引出培养内心平静的研究，因此C项“Inner strength allows us to shift our focus inward, finding calm amid chaos. (内在力量让我们转向内心，在混乱中找到平静)”符合语境，解释“出路在内”的含义，承前启后，其中的Inner在后文有同词复现。故选C。

Over time, this reshapes our perspective, helping us savor moments and feel better. (问“昨天你感激的三件事”，而不是只回忆一般的事情，可以引导大脑检索积极的经历。随着时间的推移，这会重塑我们的观点，帮助我们品味时刻，感觉更好)”介绍具体的训练感恩的方法，以及这一做法的好处，因此A项“Practicing gratitude changes how our brain searches memories.

考查连词。句意：这不仅仅是一项工程上的奇迹，更是一座连接中国历史与现代的桥梁，让我深刻意识到中国的历史远比我的国家悠久。分析句子可知，此处为固定句型not just... but (also)...（不仅……而且……），所以此处为连词but。故填but。

【64题详解】

考查非谓语动词。句意：这不仅仅是一项工程上的奇迹，更是一座连接中国历史与现代的桥梁，让我深刻意识到中国的历史远比我的国家悠久。分析句子可知，此处为非谓语动词作状语，compare和逻辑主语China为被动关系，所以为过去分词形式。故填compared。

【65题详解】

考查形容词。句意：我对中国之行让我能够客观地看待世界，而且我不再对那些只在书中读到过的国家一无所知了。空格前是系动词 am，需要填入形容词作表语。构成固定短语be ignorant about...（对……一无所知 / 不了解）。故填ignorant。

Dear Jack,

I’m Li Hua from Class 3. I am writing to seek your help as I’ll participate in the school’s English impromptu speech competition. 

The competition rules state that we must give a 3-minute speech on a randomly given topic with only 10 minutes for preparation. Judges will closely assess our language proficiency, logical thinking, and how well we perform on stage. 

Given your outstanding expertise in public speaking, I really hope you can share some impromptu speaking tips with me, like how to quickly structure my speech logically, which expressions can make it more engaging, and how to conquer stage fright?

Your guidance will be extremely valuable to me. Thank you so much in advance!

Yours sincerely,

Li Hua

第二节（满分25分）

One possible version:

“Why not do a search on the Internet?” suggested Jack. We acted quickly and surfed the Internet to figure out the relevant information about the bird, such as its species and habits. Following the given advice, we put some cotton at the bottom of the box to keep it warm and placed it near the fireplace. In order to recover its energy, we gave it some food and water. The bird looked a bit more comfortable, and soon it fell asleep. Having ensured the bird was in good condition, we felt relieved.

The next day, we were glad to see the bird was well enough.It was singing and bouncing around in the rescue box. Obviously, it had regained its energy! Realizing it was fully ready for freedom, we took the box outside, placed the bird in my palm and petted it softly with mixed feelings. I held the bird up and let it go. The bird was circling above us as if to express gratitude. Jack and I looked at each other with a broad smile, feeling that we were qualified volunteer wildlife rescuers now.
