Here, we’ve selected a list of some of the most attractive sunny Christmas destinations around the world. Buenos Aires, Argentina — Sizzling Summer Celebrations At the heart of Argentina’s summer season, Buenos Aires comes alive with Christmas festivities. As the city sizzles under the South American sun, you’ll find locals celebrating with all the passion and their talents that define their culture. Christmas Eve, known as “Nochebuena,” is the highlight, and Argentines gather with friends and family for a grand feast that often includes asado (barbecue) and traditional holiday desserts. One of the most unique aspects of a Buenos Aires Christmas is the lively street celebrations, with fireworks lighting the night sky and tango dancers rushing to the streets. Sydney, Australia — Beachfront Bliss Down under, Christmas falls in the middle of summer, making Sydney an ideal destination for sun-seekers. The city is famous for its dazzling Christmas lights displays, including the iconic lighting of the Christmas tree in Martin Place. Bondi Beach is a popular spot for beachgoers, where you can spend Christmas Day enjoying the sun, surf, and a picnic on the sand. Bali, Indonesia — Tropical Paradise Bali, with its lush landscapes, pristine beaches, and rich cultural heritage, offers a unique tropical Christmas experience. While Christmas isn’t a traditional Balinese holiday, many resorts and restaurants embrace the festive season with special events, dinners, and decorations. You can enjoy a beachfront Christmas dinner, explore ancient temples, or simply relax under the sun. Cancún, Mexico — Mexican Christmas Magic Cancún, on the eastern coast of Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula, is a hotspot for those seeking a festive Christmas.

While Christmas isn’t a traditional Balinese holiday, many resorts and restaurants embrace the festive season with special events, dinners, and decorations. You can enjoy a beachfront Christmas dinner, explore ancient temples, or simply relax under the sun.(巴厘岛，以其郁郁葱葱的风景，原始的海滩，和丰富的文化遗产，提供了一个独特的热带圣诞体验。虽然圣诞节不是巴厘岛的传统节日，但许多度假胜地和餐馆都会举办特别的活动，晚餐和装饰。你可以享受海滨圣诞晚餐，探索古老的寺庙，或简单地在阳光下放松)”可知，如果你对当地的文化遗产感兴趣，你最有可能探索印尼巴厘岛。故选C项。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段内容“If you prefer summer, now is the time to visit NH Hotels web and plan your ideal warm holiday for Christmas. Here, we’ve selected a list of some of the most attractive sunny Christmas destinations around the world.(如果你更喜欢夏天，现在是时候访问NH酒店网站，计划你理想的温暖的圣诞节假期了。在这里，我们选择了一些世界上最具吸引力的阳光圣诞节目的地)”可推知，本文可能选自NH Hotels Web页上的内容。故选A项。 B Earlier this year I made a decision to remove all Internet service from my home. It ended up being the best decision I’ve ever made. I was not content with the time I was wasting —I felt I could do more purposeful things with my time than spend it on the Internet. This doesn’t mean I think the Internet is bad or wrong —it’s not. It is an amazing tool, one that changed my life for the better. How can I go without Internet service at home? The answer is easy: I plan my Internet use. I don’t do so in a strictly controlled way—it’s not like I say, “OK, I’ll be on Twitter from 2: 00 p. m. to 4: 00 p. m. next Thursday.” If I see something I want to research on the Internet, I write it down and use that list when I have Internet access. Now I’m forced to leave the house to access the Internet. I’ll go to the library the coffee shop, or some other place with free public Wi-Fi to work on all the things I need to do online (post writing, check email, read blogs, etc.). No longer am I taking unconscious (无意识的) breaks from my life to surf the Internet. Now when I’m on the Internet, it has a purpose—it is a tool I use to improve my life. Sure, sometimes I watch some funny videos or laugh at funny pictures, but I go to the Internet with the intention of doing these things. When I got rid of the Internet at home, I did it mostly so I could focus on writing--but I have found so many extra benefits. I have more time for friends. I have more time to exercise. I no longer want the Internet badly like I once did. My mind is more focused on important things. And I don’t have a monthly Internet bill. 24. Why did the author remove all Internet service from his home? A. To reduce the cost of living. B. To make good use of his time. C. To enjoy his own company. D. To stay away from technology. 25. What can be learned about the author’s new way of using the Internet? A. He surfs the Internet at a fxed time. B. He watches funny videos more often. C. He has to pay to access public Wi-Fi. D. He uses the Internet more purposefully. 26. How does the author feel about the result of his decision? A. It is upsetting. B. It is satisfying. C. It is discouraging. D. It is embarrassing. 27. What can we infer about the author from the text? A. He is a writer. B. He is short of money. C. He lives alone. D. He likes to stay home. 【答案】24. B 25. D 26. B 27. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是记叙文。讲述了作者决定在家中断开互联网服务后的体验，表达了对这一决定的积极看法，并详细描述了这一变化带来的好处。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“I was not content with the time I was wasting —I felt I could do more purposeful things with my time than spend it on the Internet.(我不满足于我浪费的时间——我觉得我可以用我的时间做更有意义的事情，而不是把时间花在上网上)”可知，作者把家里所有的互联网服务都撤掉，是因为他想好好利用他的时间。故选B项。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“The answer is easy: I plan my Internet use. I don’t do so in a strictly controlled way—it’s not like I say, “OK, I’ll be on Twitter from 2: 00 p. m. to 4: 00 p. m. next Thursday.” If I see something I want to research on the Internet, I write it down and use that list when I have Internet access.(答案很简单：我计划我的互联网使用。我这样做并不是严格控制的——我不会说，“好吧，下周四下午2点到4点我会在Twitter上。”如果我在互联网上看到我想研究的东西，我就把它写下来，在我能上网的时候使用这个列表)”可知，作者会计划互联网的使用，所以学到他会更有目的性地使用互联网。故选D项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“When I got rid of the Internet at home, I did it mostly so I could focus on writing--but I have found so many extra benefits. I have more time for friends. I have more time to exercise. I no longer want the Internet badly like I once did. My mind is more focused on important things. And I don’t have a monthly Internet bill.(当我在家里摆脱互联网时，我这样做主要是为了能专注于写作——但我发现了很多额外的好处。我有更多时间和朋友在一起。我有更多的时间锻炼。我不再像以前那样渴望上网了。我的注意力更集中在重要的事情上。而且我没有每月的网络账单)”可知，作者对他的决定的结果，也就是摆脱互联网的结果是满意的。故选B项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“When I got rid of the Internet at home, I did it mostly so I could focus on writing--but I have found so many extra benefits.(当我在家里摆脱互联网时，我这样做主要是为了能专注于写作——但我发现了很多额外的好处)”可知，作者摆脱互联网是为了能专注于写作，推知她是一位作家。故选A项。 C If you have a chance to go to Finland, you will probably be surprised to find how “foolish” the Finnish people are. Take the taxi drivers for example. Taxis in Finland are mostly high-class Benz with a fare of two US dollars a kilometer. You can go anywhere in one, tell the driver to drop you at any place, say that you have some business to attend to, and then walk off without paying your fare. The driver would not show the least sign of being annoyed and worried. The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests, but also serve outside diners. Hotel guests have their meals free, so they naturally go to the free dining rooms to have their meals. The most they would do to show their good faith is to wave their registration card to the waiter. With such a loose check, you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends to dine free of charge. The Finnish workers are paid by the hour. They are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the boss on the pay. From then on, they just say how many hours they have worked and they will be paid accordingly. With so much carelessness in everyday life, surely Finland must be a heaven to those who love to take “petty advantages” (小便宜). But the strange thing is, all the taxi passengers would always come back to pay their fare after they have attended to their business; not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms. And workers always give an honest account of the exact hours they put in. As the Finns always act on good faith in everything they do, living in such a society has turned everyone into a real “gentleman”. In a society of such high moral practice, what need is there for people to be on guard against others? 28. What might happen when taking a taxi in Finland? A. Taxis can be stopped at any time midway. B. The cost of a Benz is higher than other taxis. C. The driver will feel angry if unpaid on time. D. Only Benz can be used as common taxis. 29. What allows you to enjoy free meals in a hotel? A. Your friend’s invitation. B. Your registration card. C. Your identity information. D. Your good behaviour. 30. Which of the following is true according to this text? A. Finns love to take “pretty advantages”. B. Taxi drivers can get paid after constantly asking. C. Outsiders are often invited to have a free meal. D. Finnish workers keep very honest records of their working hours. 31. How to understand the underlined sentence in the last paragraph? A. Practice makes perfect. B. High effort always lead to great gains. C. Honesty is a good principle of society. D. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart. 【答案】28. A 29. B 30. D 31. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章通过出租车、酒店、工人等介绍了芬兰人民的“愚蠢”，来表明并赞美了芬兰社会的和谐，人民的道德水准之高。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“You can go anywhere in one, tell the driver to drop you at any place, say that you have some business to attend to, and then walk off without paying your fare. (你可以乘车去任何地方，告诉司机在中途任何地方让你下车，说你有一些事情要处理，然后不用付车费就走了)”可知，在芬兰乘坐出租车时，可以在中途随时停车。故选A。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的“The most they would do to show their good faith is to wave their registration card to the waiter. With such a loose check, you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends to dine free of charge.(为了显示他们的诚意，他们最多会向服务员挥舞他们的登记卡。由于检查如此松懈，你可以很容易地使用任何一张旧的登记卡带几个朋友免费用餐)”可知，展示你的登记卡可以让你在酒店享受免费用餐。故选B。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段的“And workers always give an honest account of the exact hours they put in.(工人们总是诚实地说明他们工作的确切时间)”可知，芬兰工人非常诚实地记录他们的工作时间。故选D。 【31题详解】 词句猜测题。根据最后第一段的“As the Finns always act on good faith in everything they do, living in such a society has turned everyone into a real “gentleman(由于芬兰人做任何事情都是出于善意，生活在这样的社会中，每个人都变成了真正的‘绅士’)”可知，由于芬兰人在做任何事情时都秉持诚信原则，生活在这种社会中使每个人都变成了真正的“绅士”。所以划线的句子想要表达诚实是社会的一条良好的原则，在诚信的社会中，人们是没有必要提防他人的。故选C。 D When Senait Lara, a 28-year-old video producer, was questioned by her friends about her lack of communication in their group chat, the blames were as follows: she only caught up every few days; when she did, it was hardly an interaction — Lara spent time “liking” messages instead of responding with words and sometimes she would never respond at all. Lara didn’t deny it. She knew she sometimes preferred to completely avoid her phone rather than deal with a large number of requests. Actually, in person, Lara felt comfortable talking with people, but when communication came down to a text message or an email, she wanted to tap out. While social media and messaging apps keep us more connected to each other many younger users are finding themselves tired out from receiving constant notices and carrying on conversations that can last all day. The after-effect? Delayed responses, forgetting to get back to someone entirely, and a need for frequent breaks. In fact, a 2023 study exploring the effects of information overload and online conversation dynamics (动态) found that “over-exposure to information can suppress the possibility of response by overloading users.” Smartphones have quickly changed into handheld storage units for our conversations, thoughts, music and everything else. That shift to feeling constantly attached to our phones as if they were a limb relates to the burnout, says psychologist Emily Balcetis. As the pressure to be online and always available continues to grow in our society, in-person interactions provide far more real communication than digital ones. From body language to eye contact and all the other social clues that exist in real life that aren’t available in a text message, it’s far easier to be present when you’re face-to-face. As Balcetis notes, “At the end of the day, I think what we’re looking for is not more ways to stay connected, but higher quality ways to be connected.” 32. What dissatisfied Senait Lara’s friends? A. Lara denying her problems. B. Lara avoiding using her phone. C. Lara’s preference for digital communication. D. Lara’s communication style in the group chat. 33. What does paragraph 2 tell us about many young people? A. They are starting to have memory problems. B. They refuse to put down their smartphones. C. They are tired of frequent digital contact. D. They feel more connected to each other. 34. What does the last paragraph mainly stress? A. The need to take a break from digital devices. B. The pressure of always being available online. C. The importance of face-to-face communication. D. The ability to understand clues behind text messages. 35. What is the author’s attitude to digital interaction? A. Negative. B. Unconcerned. C. Supportive. D. Objective. 【答案】32. D 33. C 34. C 35. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了数字时代中年轻人因社交媒体和即时通讯应用产生的交流疲劳现象，以及面对面交流相较于数字交流的优势。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的“When Senait Lara, a 28-year-old video producer, was questioned by her friends about her lack of communication in their group chat, the blames were as follows: she only caught up every few days; when she did, it was hardly an interaction - Lara spent time “liking” messages instead of responding with words and sometimes she would never respond at all. (当28岁的视频制作人Senait Lara被朋友们问及她在群聊中缺乏沟通时，人们的指责如下：她每隔几天就聊一次；当她这样做的时候，这几乎不是一种互动——劳拉花时间“点赞”信息，而不是用言语回应，有时她根本不会回应)”可知，Lara的朋友对她不满是因为她在群聊中的沟通方式，比如几天才参与一次，且多通过点赞而非文字回复，有时甚至完全不回应。故选D。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“While social media and messaging apps keep us more connected to each other, many younger users are finding themselves tired out from receiving constant notices and carrying on conversations that can last all day.(虽然社交媒体和消息应用程序让我们之间的联系更加紧密，但许多年轻用户发现自己已经厌倦了不断收到通知和进行持续一整天的对话)”可知，很多年轻人对频繁的数字化联系感到厌倦。故选C。 【34题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段的“As the pressure to be online and always available continues to grow in our society, in-person interactions provide far more real communication than digital ones. From body language to eye contact and all the other social clues that exist in real life that aren’t available in a text message, it’s far easier to be present when you’re face-to-face. (随着我们社会中在线和随时可用的压力不断增加，面对面交流提供了比数字交流更真实的交流。从肢体语言到眼神交流，以及现实生活中所有其他短信中无法提供的社交线索，当你面对面时，在场要容易得多)”可知，最后一段介绍了面对面交流相比于数字交流的优势，如肢体语言、眼神交流等，所以他强调了面对面交流的重要性。故选C。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“As the pressure to be online and always available continues to grow in our society, in-person interactions provide far more real communication than digital ones.(随着我们社会中在线和随时可用的压力不断增加，面对面交流提供了比数字交流更真实的交流)”以及全文可知，作者描述了数字交互带来的疲劳感、压力以及面对面交流的诸多好处，暗示了作者对数字交流持消极的态度。故选A。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) Classical music is one of the most complex, and beautiful forms of music.

(这些元素包括旋律、和声、节奏、力度和音质。旋律是主要的音乐元素，也是人们在想到音乐时通常会想到的)”和下文“Rhythm is the organization of time, and is created by the pulse or beat of the music. Dynamics are the changes in volume, and timbre is the quality of the sound. (节奏是时间的组织，是由音乐的脉搏或节拍创造的。力度是音量的变化，音质是声音的质量)”可知，本段在介绍古典音乐元素到底包括哪些，只有“和声”还未提及，该空应该具体讲和声，F选项“和声是由两个或多个旋律一起演奏而成的。”切题。故选F项。 【38题详解】 由上文“Once you have a basic understanding of these elements, you can start to appreciate classical music on a deeper level.

Feel the beat, and sense the changes in volume. Try to appreciate the different sounds. (理解它所讲述的故事。试着找出不同的声音是如何协同工作的。感受节拍，感受音量的变化。试着欣赏不同的声音)”也是需要仔细倾听才能获得的。故选A项。 【39题详解】 由下文“Seeing the musicians play, and watching the conductor guide the orchestra can be an amazing experience. You can watch videos of classical music performances online, or attend a live concert. (看音乐家演奏，看指挥指挥管弦乐队，会是一种奇妙的体验。你可以在线观看古典音乐表演的视频，也可以参加现场音乐会)”可知，本段讲述通过观看表演来欣赏古典音乐，G选项“你也可以通过观看古典音乐的表演来欣赏它。”切题。故选G项。 【40题详解】 由上文“Finally, classical music can be appreciated through its history and culture. Learning about the musicians, the pieces, and the different movements in classical music can help you understand and appreciate it more. (最后，古典音乐可以通过其历史和文化来欣赏。了解古典音乐中的音乐家、作品和不同的推动者可以帮助你更好地理解和欣赏它)”提到通过了解音乐家和作品来更好地欣赏古典音乐，C选项“还有很多关于古典音乐的书和文章可以提供帮助。”与上文形成并列关系，讲通过其历史和文化来欣赏古典音乐的方法。故选C项。 第三部分：语言运用(共两节;满分25分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。 The great philosopher Plato said, “Happiness springs from doing good and helping others.” It means that giving help to people in need can also bring ____41____ and enjoyment to ourselves.

If you prefer summer, now is the time to visit NH Hotels web and plan your ideal warm holiday for Christmas. Here, we’ve selected a list of some of the most attractive sunny Christmas destinations around the world. Buenos Aires, Argentina — Sizzling Summer Celebrations At the heart of Argentina’s summer season, Buenos Aires comes alive with Christmas festivities. As the city sizzles under the South American sun, you’ll find locals celebrating with all the passion and their talents that define their culture. Christmas Eve, known as “Nochebuena,” is the highlight, and Argentines gather with friends and family for a grand feast that often includes asado (barbecue) and traditional holiday desserts. One of the most unique aspects of a Buenos Aires Christmas is the lively street celebrations, with fireworks lighting the night sky and tango dancers rushing to the streets. Sydney, Australia — Beachfront Bliss Down under, Christmas falls in the middle of summer, making Sydney an ideal destination for sun-seekers. The city is famous for its dazzling Christmas lights displays, including the iconic lighting of the Christmas tree in Martin Place. Bondi Beach is a popular spot for beachgoers, where you can spend Christmas Day enjoying the sun, surf, and a picnic on the sand. Bali, Indonesia — Tropical Paradise Bali, with its lush landscapes, pristine beaches, and rich cultural heritage, offers a unique tropical Christmas experience. While Christmas isn’t a traditional Balinese holiday, many resorts and restaurants embrace the festive season with special events, dinners, and decorations. You can enjoy a beachfront Christmas dinner, explore ancient temples, or simply relax under the sun. Cancún, Mexico — Mexican Christmas Magic Cancún, on the eastern coast of Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula, is a hotspot for those seeking a festive Christmas.

B Earlier this year I made a decision to remove all Internet service from my home. It ended up being the best decision I’ve ever made. I was not content with the time I was wasting —I felt I could do more purposeful things with my time than spend it on the Internet. This doesn’t mean I think the Internet is bad or wrong —it’s not. It is an amazing tool, one that changed my life for the better. How can I go without Internet service at home? The answer is easy: I plan my Internet use. I don’t do so in a strictly controlled way—it’s not like I say, “OK, I’ll be on Twitter from 2: 00 p. m. to 4: 00 p. m. next Thursday.” If I see something I want to research on the Internet, I write it down and use that list when I have Internet access. Now I’m forced to leave the house to access the Internet. I’ll go to the library, the coffee shop, or some other place with free public Wi-Fi to work on all the things I need to do online (post writing, check email, read blogs, etc.). No longer am I taking unconscious (无意识的) breaks from my life to surf the Internet. Now when I’m on the Internet, it has a purpose—it is a tool I use to improve my life. Sure, sometimes I watch some funny videos or laugh at funny pictures, but I go to the Internet with the intention of doing these things. When I got rid of the Internet at home, I did it mostly so I could focus on writing--but I have found so many extra benefits. I have more time for friends. I have more time to exercise. I no longer want the Internet badly like I once did. My mind is more focused on important things. And I don’t have a monthly Internet bill. 24. Why did the author remove all Internet service from his home? A. To reduce the cost of living. B. To make good use of his time. C. To enjoy his own company. D. To stay away from technology. 25. What can be learned about the author’s new way of using the Internet? A. He surfs the Internet at a fxed time. B. He watches funny videos more often. C. He has to pay to access public Wi-Fi. D. He uses the Internet more purposefully. 26. How does the author feel about the result of his decision? A. It is upsetting. B. It is satisfying. C. It is discouraging. D. It is embarrassing. 27. What can we infer about the author from the text? A. He is a writer. B. He is short of money. C. He lives alone. D. He likes to stay home. C If you have a chance to go to Finland, you will probably be surprised to find how “foolish” the Finnish people are. Take the taxi drivers for example. Taxis in Finland are mostly high-class Benz with a fare of two US dollars a kilometer. You can go anywhere in one, tell the driver to drop you at any place, say that you have some business to attend to, and then walk off without paying your fare. The driver would not show the least sign of being annoyed and worried. The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests, but also serve outside diners. Hotel guests have their meals free, so they naturally go to the free dining rooms to have their meals. The most they would do to show their good faith is to wave their registration card to the waiter. With such a loose check, you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends to dine free of charge. The Finnish workers are paid by the hour. They are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the boss on the pay. From then on, they just say how many hours they have worked and they will be paid accordingly. With so much carelessness in everyday life, surely Finland must be a heaven to those who love to take “petty advantages” (小便宜). But the strange thing is, all the taxi passengers would always come back to pay their fare after they have attended to their business; not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms. And workers always give an honest account of the exact hours they put in. As the Finns always act on good faith in everything they do, living in such a society has turned everyone into a real “gentleman”. In a society of such high moral practice, what need is there for people to be on guard against others? 28. What might happen when taking a taxi in Finland? A. Taxis can be stopped at any time midway. B. The cost of a Benz is higher than other taxis. C. The driver will feel angry if unpaid on time. D. Only Benz can be used as common taxis. 29 What allows you to enjoy free meals in a hotel? A. Your friend’s invitation. B. Your registration card. C. Your identity information. D. Your good behaviour. 30. Which of the following is true according to this text? A. Finns love to take “pretty advantages”. B. Taxi drivers can get paid after constantly asking. C Outsiders are often invited to have a free meal. D. Finnish workers keep very honest records of their working hours. 31. How to understand the underlined sentence in the last paragraph? A. Practice makes perfect. B High effort always lead to great gains. C. Honesty is a good principle of society. D. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart. D When Senait Lara, a 28-year-old video producer, was questioned by her friends about her lack of communication in their group chat, the blames were as follows: she only caught up every few days; when she did, it was hardly an interaction — Lara spent time “liking” messages instead of responding with words and sometimes she would never respond at all. Lara didn’t deny it. She knew she sometimes preferred to completely avoid her phone rather than deal with a large number of requests. Actually, in person, Lara felt comfortable talking with people, but when communication came down to a text message or an email, she wanted to tap out. While social media and messaging apps keep us more connected to each other, many younger users are finding themselves tired out from receiving constant notices and carrying on conversations that can last all day. The after-effect? Delayed responses, forgetting to get back to someone entirely, and a need for frequent breaks. In fact, a 2023 study exploring the effects of information overload and online conversation dynamics (动态) found that “over-exposure to information can suppress the possibility of response by overloading users.” Smartphones have quickly changed into handheld storage units for our conversations, thoughts, music and everything else. That shift to feeling constantly attached to our phones as if they were a limb relates to the burnout, says psychologist Emily Balcetis. As the pressure to be online and always available continues to grow in our society, in-person interactions provide far more real communication than digital ones. From body language to eye contact and all the other social clues that exist in real life that aren’t available in a text message, it’s far easier to be present when you’re face-to-face. As Balcetis notes, “At the end of the day, I think what we’re looking for is not more ways to stay connected, but higher quality ways to be connected.” 32. What dissatisfied Senait Lara’s friends? A.
