B
This summer, my fellow musicians and I listened to the slow movement of Beethoven’s String Quartet. From the first notes of this profound music, I was in tears. What I had experienced was complete immersion (沉浸) in music. Most of life’s great moments are like this. We give our full attention to one thing and wonder at its beauty. Past disappointments and future worries disappear.
But in today’s world, such moments are increasingly hard to come by. Our digital existence aims to distract our attention, flooding us with more information in less time than the human mind was designed to absorb. Music provides a unique escape from this constant flood of information. A great performance of music both takes us out of our heads and puts us in touch with our deepest selves. That’s the magic of music.
That phrase — “the magic of music” — is used frequently by the marketing teams of musical organizations. But often, their efforts to support that music reflect different priorities. Some teams have encouraged audiences to live-tweet performances. If you watch a concert on a live stream, you are often invited to chat with other viewers. Engagement first; listening second. Meanwhile, multidisciplinary and multimedia projects are increasingly in fashion. The message from programmers is clear: Audiences supposedly don’t want to be immersed in the music. They are the customers, and the customer is always right.
This is not a black-and-white issue. An art form should evolve, and some mixed-media projects are excellent. But if we lose our capacity to focus deeply on music, we lose one of the greatest gifts we are granted as human beings. When promotion focuses only on supply and demand, it creates a vicious cycle: The less we are able to pay attention, the less we are asked to pay attention, which only degrades our attention further.
While marketing teams talk about magic, classical music organizations try hard to present themselves as relevant. This is understandable. No one wants to be irrelevant. Yet true relevance isn’t just keeping up with the times by driving us deeper into our devices. It comes from embracing music’s power to immerse us in a world of possibility and wonder.
4. What does the underlined phrase “such moments” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Listening to Beethoven’s music.B. Being totally lost in one thing.
C. Crying over profound music.D. Being flooded with information.
5. What do some musical marketing teams emphasize?
A. Music’s power.B. Live performances.
C. Customers’ rights.D. Audience interaction.
6. What does the author imply in paragraph 4?
A. Art forms are undergoing diverse changes.
B. Customers’ demands should be a top priority.
C. Poor marketing strategies worsen people’s concentration.
D. Human beings are losing their ability to appreciate music.
7. What does the author mainly want to tell us?
A. Digital devices disturb full concentration.
B. The magic of music deserves our full attention.
C. Music organizations advocate digital promotion.
D. Mixed-media projects ruin listening experiences.
【答案】4. B5. D6. C7. B
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍了数字时代下，古典音乐营销团队以“参与互动”替代深度聆听，但作者认为音乐真正的魔力在于让人沉浸其中，暂时忘却过去与未来。
【4题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段“Most of life’s great moments are like this. We give our full attention to one thing and wonder at its beauty. Past disappointments and future worries disappear.(大多数人生中的重大时刻都是如此。我们全神贯注于一件事，并惊叹于它的美妙之处。过去的失望和未来的忧虑都会消失)”可知，划线部分指代上文作者陈述的人生美好时刻，全身心投入一件事，忘却过往失望和未来焦虑。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Some teams have encouraged audiences to live-tweet performances. If you watch a concert on a live stream, you are often invited to chat with other viewers. Engagement first; listening second.(有些团队鼓励观众在直播观看演出时进行实时微博互动。如果你通过直播观看一场音乐会，通常会被邀请与其他观众交流。互动优先；聆听其次)”可知，他们实际强调的是观众互动参与。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“But if we lose our capacity to focus deeply on music, we lose one of the greatest gifts we are granted as human beings. When promotion focuses only on supply and demand, it creates a vicious cycle: The less we are able to pay attention, the less we are asked to pay attention, which only degrades our attention further(但如果我们失去了对音乐进行深入专注的能力，我们就失去了作为人类所拥有的最伟大的天赋之一。当推广仅仅关注供需关系时，就会形成一个恶性循环：我们越难以集中注意力，就越少被要求去集中注意力，这只会进一步降低我们的注意力水平)”可知，作者认为只迎合需求的营销会形成恶性循环，不断降低人们的专注力。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Yet true relevance isn’t just keeping up with the times by driving us deeper into our devices. It comes from embracing music’s power to immerse us in a world of possibility and wonder.(然而，真正的相关性不仅仅是通过让我们更深入地沉浸在设备中来跟上时代步伐。它来自于拥抱音乐让我们沉浸在可能性和奇迹的世界中的力量)”并纵观全文可知，作者开篇点出全身心沉浸音乐的美好，随后批判当下音乐行业分散注意力、弱化沉浸式聆听的错误营销，最后点明核心：音乐真正的价值在于它能让人沉浸式感受美好，音乐的魔力值得我们全身心专注。
C
While “chaos gardening” became a viral social media trend in 2023, its core philosophy of letting nature lead has come to stay — it’s a return to time-honored ecological gardening principles, reimagined for modern homeowners. Unlike strictly planned, pesticide-reliant gardens, this approach rejects inflexible design, instead sowing a diverse mix of seeds and embracing the unpredictability of natural growth.
Far from mere “messy gardening”, the practice is rooted in ecological science: a diverse plant community creates layered habitats that support pollinators (授粉者), soil microbes, and native wildlife. As climate anxiety and biodiversity loss grow, chaos gardening has emerged as an accessible solution for ordinary people to contribute to ecosystem restoration. It eliminates the need for artificial chemicals, reduces water pollution, and captures carbon. As Dr. Rebecca Hartman, an ecologist at Washington University, puts it, “What looks like randomness to the untrained eye is actually a complicated web of ecological relationships. Chaos gardening taps into that complexity instead of fighting it.”
Critics often dismiss it as unmanaged neglect (忽视), but successful chaos gardening requires intentionality, not inaction. The key lies in selecting native, locally adapted seed mixes: non-native invasive species can outcompete native plants, disturbing local ecosystems, while carefully chosen native plants provide sustained food and shelter for local pollinators. Results are naturally variable — some gardens bloom into lively wildflower fields, others evolve into food-producing landscapes, making each space a unique ecological experiment. Landscape designer Marcus Chen, who has applied chaos gardening principles to over fifty residential projects, notes, “People are surprised when I tell them that a ‘wild’ garden often takes more thoughtful planning than a traditional one. You’re not abandoning care — you’re redirecting it toward the right plant choices and then stepping back.”
For beginners, it offers a low-pressure entry to gardening, free from the pressure of perfection. It’s more than a gardening style; it’s a mindset shift, inviting people to observe, adapt, and coexist with nature, rather than control it. In an era of environmental crisis, chaos gardening turns small, personal outdoor spaces into agents of ecological hope.
8. How does the author present the core idea of chaos gardening in the first paragraph?
A. By listing its benefits.B. By introducing its origin.
C. By showing its popularity.D. By describing its practices.
9. What does Dr. Hartman say about chaos gardening?
A. It restores the ecological balance.B. It upsets ecological relationships.
C. It employs ecological networks.D. It reduces ecological complexity.
10. Why does the author quote Marcus Chen?
A. To highlight intentional efforts.B. To support critics’ opinions.
C. To advise growing native seeds.D. To show the benefits of wild gardens.
11. What can be the suitable title for the text?
A. Messy Ways, Clear ResultsB. Chaos Planted, Hope Grown
C. Wild Looks, Wise PlanningD. Nature Leading, Diversity Lost
【答案】8. D9. C10. A11. C
【解析】
【导语】主要说明了混沌园艺顺应自然、种植多样本土植物，依托生态原理保护生物多样性、改善环境。它并非放任荒芜，而是精心规划，以自然方式为生态保护带来希望。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“While “chaos gardening” became a viral social media trend in 2023, its core philosophy of letting nature lead has come to stay — it’s a return to time-honored ecological gardening principles, reimagined for modern homeowners. Unlike strictly planned, pesticide-reliant gardens, this approach rejects inflexible design, instead sowing a diverse mix of seeds and embracing the unpredictability of natural growth.(在 2023年，“混沌园艺”成为了一种在社交媒体上广为流传的潮流现象，但其“让自然主导”的核心理念却得以延续——这实际上是对古老生态园艺原则的回归，只不过这些原则是为现代房主们重新诠释的。与那些严格按照规划、依赖农药的花园不同，这种做法摒弃了僵化的设计模式，而是播撒各种各样的种子，并接纳自然生长的不确定性)”可知，作者在第一段通过描述其实践方式阐述“混沌园艺”这一核心理念。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“As Dr. Rebecca Hartman, an ecologist at Washington University, puts it, “What looks like randomness to the untrained eye is actually a complicated web of ecological relationships. Chaos gardening taps into that complexity instead of fighting it.”(正如华盛顿大学的生态学家丽贝卡·哈特曼博士所说：“对于未经训练的眼睛而言看似毫无规律的现象，实际上却是一张错综复杂的生态关系网。而‘混沌园艺’正是利用了这种复杂性，而非与之对抗。”)”可知，哈特曼博士认为“混沌园艺”运用了生态网络。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Landscape designer Marcus Chen, who has applied chaos gardening principles to over fifty residential projects, notes, “People are surprised when I tell them that a ‘wild’ garden often takes more thoughtful planning than a traditional one. You’re not abandoning care — you’re redirecting it toward the right plant choices and then stepping back.”(景观设计师马库斯·陈将混沌园艺理念应用于超过五十个住宅项目中。他指出：“当我告诉人们‘野生’花园往往比传统花园需要更精心的规划时，他们都会感到惊讶。实际上，并非放弃对植物的照料，而是将精力重新分配到正确的植物选择上，然后退一步观察。”)”可知，作者引用马库斯·陈的观点是为了强调有意为之的努力。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“While “chaos gardening” became a viral social media trend in 2023, its core philosophy of letting nature lead has come to stay — it’s a return to time-honored ecological gardening principles, reimagined for modern homeowners. Unlike strictly planned, pesticide-reliant gardens, this approach rejects inflexible design, instead sowing a diverse mix of seeds and embracing the unpredictability of natural growth.(在 2023年，“混沌园艺”成为了一种在社交媒体上广为流传的潮流现象，但其“让自然主导”的核心理念却得以延续——这实际上是对古老生态园艺原则的回归，只不过这些原则是为现代家庭主妇们重新诠释的。与那些严格按照规划、依赖农药的花园不同，这种做法摒弃了僵化的设计模式，而是播撒各种各样的种子，并接纳自然生长的不确定性)”结合文章主要说明了混沌园艺顺应自然、种植多样本土植物，依托生态原理保护生物多样性、改善环境。它并非放任荒芜，而是精心规划，以自然方式为生态保护带来希望。可知，C选项“狂野的外表，明智的规划”最符合文章标题。
D
Every time you crowd into a packed plane, you might wonder if you will catch something from the person sitting next to you — or a few rows away. You’re not alone: researchers share that curiosity.
Erica, associate professor at Northwestern University, and her colleagues tried to find out by testing face masks worn by passengers on flights to document what kinds of bugs they trapped. The team was also interested in the air circulating in hospitals and tested face masks worn by hospital staff. They collected 53 masks for analysis.
They detected 407 total microbial (微生物) species from both the plane and hospital settings, with similar populations of bugs from each. The vast majority of these came from skin and are harmless, says Erica. She says most airborne microbes come from our skin, as we shed (使掉落) them everywhere we go.
The kits that the team used were designed to collect DNA, so that meant the researchers primarily captured bacteria — not viruses, many of which have RNA as their genetic base (like influenza). Erica says that viruses likely make up a smaller proportion of microbes in the air than bacteria, since people shed more skin bacteria than virus particles. She notes that viruses tend to heavily depend on the right habitat in order to thrive, and once outside the body and away from cells that they can infect, they can become slightly less pernicious.
The results of the study highlight the importance of developing better ways to monitor the air for disease-causing pathogens (病原体), including viruses, using sensing systems that could provide more real-time readings. “Imagine something like a gas alarm that, depending on the levels of microbes present, could automatically increase air-exchange rates or alert people to put on masks,” says Erica.
Erica hopes people will remember that the air — even in tight places like a plane or hospital — may not be as full of disease-causing bacteria as we think. Still, if you are worried about getting sick, face masks are an effective way to protect yourself from pathogens, as well as protecting you from spreading bacteria to others if you are ill.
12. Why did Erica and her colleagues carry out the study?
A. To compare bugs in different settings.B. To design a new air conditioning system.
C. To explore infection risks in specific places.D. To prove that using face masks is ineffective.
13. How did the team collect data for their research?
A. By examining DNA from skin samples.B. By tracking viruses spread among patients.
C. By checking air quality inside the airplanes.D. By testing face masks from different groups.
14. What does the underlined word “pernicious” most probably mean in paragraph 4?
A. Rare.B. Harmful.C. Visible.D. Stable.
15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Viruses are the main microbes in the air.B. Real-time air monitoring is now widely used.
C. Shed skin spreads more bacteria than viruses.D. People needn’t overreact to the air in tight spaces.

【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Erica, associate professor at Northwestern University, and her colleagues tried to find out by testing face masks worn by passengers on flights to document what kinds of bugs they trapped. (西北大学的艾丽卡副教授及其团队通过测试飞往目的地航班上的乘客所佩戴的口罩，试图弄清楚这些口罩上究竟捕获了何种病菌。)”可知，埃丽卡和她的同事们开展这项研究是为了探究特定区域的感染风险。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The team was also interested in the air circulating in hospitals and tested face masks worn by hospital staff. They collected 53 masks for analysis. (该团队还对医院内的空气流动情况进行了研究，并对医院工作人员所佩戴的口罩进行了检测。他们收集了53个口罩用于分析。)”可知，该团队通过测试来自不同群体的口罩收集研究数据。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“viruses tend to heavily depend on the right habitat in order to thrive, and once outside the body and away from cells that they can infect, they can become slightly less (病毒往往非常依赖适宜的生存环境才能繁衍，一旦离开人体并远离它们能够感染的细胞，他们就会变得没那么……)”可知，病毒离开人体与宿主细胞后，生存条件变差，危害性下降。故划线词意思是“有害的”。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Erica hopes people will remember that the air — even in tight places like a plane or hospital — may not be as full of disease-causing bacteria as we think. (埃丽卡希望人们能明白，即便是在像飞机或医院这样的密闭环境中，空气里可能也不像我们想象的那样充满致病细菌。)”可知，人们不必对密闭空间内的空气过度担忧。

Do you treat new attempts like jumping into a cold pool? You stand there for ages, thinking about it, planning for it, making emotional speeches about it, yet you still don’t jump in. ___16___This way of thinking means you stop waiting for the perfect time, or the perfect idea or the perfect version of yourself. You simply start — even if your work is a little messy.
Many people think perfectionism is a good thing. It sounds impressive, and it makes you seem serious and thoughtful. But sometimes perfectionism is just fear wearing glasses and carrying a clipboard, telling you, “Don’t begin until everything is just right.” ___17___
This is true in almost every part of life. Maybe you want to be a videographer, writer, or musician — or perhaps you just want to speak in public without feeling like your soul has left your body. ___18___First attempts rarely are. The good news is that action teaches faster than overthinking. When you actually do something, you get feedback. ___19___That’s how we grow: not by waiting until we’re “naturally good,” but by being brave enough to be a little bad first.
___20___It involves doing your best, sending it out, and learning from the result. We’re all works in progress. So go ahead. Start before you feel ready because, in real life, done beats perfect almost every time. Jump in. The water is just fine.
A. You see what works and what doesn’t.
B. Taking action anyway doesn’t mean being careless.
C. But you’re worried that your work won’t be remarkable.
D. Finishing and presenting something slightly messy is fine.
E. A perfect start is surely better than completed imperfect effort.
F. The problem is that nothing becomes excellent without a beginning.

第二节（满分25分）
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。
Elara had long been well-known for her sympathy and willingness to reach out to the marginalized (边缘群体). On many weekends, she devoted her spare time to a local charity, assisting with the distribution of daily supplies and providing company to those living rough.
One bitterly cold evening in late January, a sharp wind swept through the streets. Passersby buried their chins in their scarves and hurried along, desperate to escape the bitter cold. As she passed an abandoned alley (小巷), Elara caught sight of a thin figure in the corner. It was a middle-aged woman, wrapped in a ragged blanket that hardly protected her from the freezing wind. Her cheeks were flushed with cold, and beside her lay only a few worn belongings. It was obvious that she had been homeless for a long time.
A surge of pity overwhelmed Elara. She thought of her warm home, the steaming meals prepared by her family, and the warm bed she had always taken for granted. In sharp contrast, this stranger had none of these comforts. “Are you okay?” she approached gently and asked. The woman lifted her head, her eyes clouded with weariness. “Just trying to get through the night,” she whispered. “And I’ve been wandering the streets for months, going hungry and struggling to survive the cold nights.”
Elara’s heart ached. “Wait here,” she said. She rushed to a nearby shop and used her savings to buy a cup of hot soup, a warm bread roll and a thick pair of gloves. Handing them over, she said, “This should warm you up a bit — take your time, it’s all yours.” The woman’s eyes watered with tears, her lower lip trembling slightly as she took the items. “Thank you, dear — you have no idea how much this means,” she murmured, her voice thick with emotion.
注意：

But to Elara’s surprise, the woman did not rush to eat or drink.
Witnessing the woman’s selflessness, Elara decided to do more.
【答案】参考范文
But to Elara’s surprise, the woman did not rush to eat or drink. Instead, she struggled to her feet and limped deeper into the dark alley, holding the warm food tightly. Curious and concerned, Elara followed quietly and saw several other homeless figures crouched in the shadows — an elderly man, a young mother with a child. The woman knelt down and shared the bread and soup among them, her face lit with a warm kind smile. “We look after each other here,” she said softly. Seeing such extraordinary generosity from someone who had nothing, Elara stood frozen, tears welling up in her eyes.
Witnessing the woman’s selflessness, Elara decided to do more. She immediately pulled out her mobile phone and contacted the charity she worked for, proposing an emergency relief program for the homeless. With her colleagues’ support, she organized a weekend donation drive, calling on the community to donate blankets, warm clothes, and ready-to-eat meals. She also shared the woman’s story on social media, which touched thousands of hearts. Within a week, supplies flooded in, and volunteers lined up to help. Elara realized that one small act of kindness could inspire a wave of compassion powerful enough to change people’s lives.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索，讲述了善良的Elara在一个寒冷的冬夜给一位无家可归的中年妇女送去热汤、面包和手套，而这位妇女却将食物分享给其他流浪者，这位妇女的无私让Elara深受感动，她发起了志愿活动并将这件事发到网上，激励许多人来帮助，展现了困境中人性的光辉以及善意传递的力量。
【详解】1. 段落续写：
①由第一段首句可知，第一段应续写：这位妇女没有立刻吃喝，而是做了什么（走向小巷深处），Elara跟随发现了什么（其他无家可归者），妇女如何分享食物，Elara的内心感受（被深深触动）。
②由第二段首句可知，第二段应续写：Elara采取了哪些具体行动（联系慈善机构、组织捐赠活动、在社交媒体分享故事），社区反响如何（物资涌入、志愿者加入），最终感悟（小善举能激发大爱心）。
2. 续写线索：妇女未立刻进食——起身走向小巷深处——Elara跟随发现其他流浪者——妇女分享食物——Elara深受触动——决定做更多——联系慈善机构提议救助计划——组织周末捐赠活动——社交媒体分享故事——引发社区响应——物资和志愿者涌入——感悟善举的力量。
