The retrospective will take visitors on a virtual tour to the very moment 150 years ago. During the 40-minute immersive (沉浸的) tour, visitors will spend a virtual evening with the famous impressionists and travel by steam train to Bougival, west of Paris, where many of them worked. Visitors will then tour the main exhibition, which opens into a gallery with Renoir’s La Parisienne and La Danseuse that featured in the 1874 exhibition, and other impressionist paintings, drawings and sculptures. “The immersive experience is unique and innovative. You can go into this exhibition and relive the evening with the artists and discover the origin of this movement. We want to recreate the emotion for visitors of the 1874 exhibition.” said Abastado, director of digital development at the Musée d’Orsay. Guidelines: * The experience is suitable for children of 11 y/o and above; children under 8 y/o are prohibited. * We remind you that, in view of the technology used, virtual reality experiences are not recommended for people with balance or vision disorders. * Walkers and motorized wheelchairs are not permitted in the space, but manual wheelchairs are accepted. 1. What’s the retrospective mainly aimed at? A. Protecting cultural diversity. B. Fueling people’s love for art. C. Showing honor to late artists. D. Marking the birth of a movement. 2. What can be experienced during the virtual tour? A. Painting a picture on the spot. B. Driving a steam train in person. C. Meeting famous impressionists. D. Staying overnight in the gallery. 3. Who is the most suitable to visit the exhibition? A. An eight-year-old boy. B. An adult with a walker. C. A visually-challenged girl. D. A teenager in a manual wheelchair. B Travelling seemed like falsehood to me. I grew tired of backpackers expressing too much praise about how petting a baby elephant in Thailand “transformed” them. Globe-traveling to me held no more promise than finding a few bills in the pocket of an old coat. I needed something deeper than an Eat, Play, Love moment. One day, Vasilis, my Greek best friend, reminded me of our decade-old promise: after our final exams, I would visit his hometown in Athens. Maybe, it was time to make good on that promise. I finally boarded the plane. Vasilis picked me up at the airport. I smiled, thinking how improbable this moment seemed all those years ago. The decade-long wait proved to be well worth it. Every step through the ancient streets revealed new wonders. However, none of them truly mattered. What would forever alter my perception of travel was a chance encounter with a local. Vasilis and I were wandering Athens when a special sound caught our attention — a rhythmic clinking disturbing the quietness of the residential street. Curiously, we followed the sound to a humble workshop. Inside, a welder (焊工) gave no mind to our presence behind him. He wore no flashy protective suit — this was just another day for him, another dance with fire and metal that had become second nature. Under the sunshade, his orange cat rested in the comforting warmth... As the man continued welding, I felt a bit of envy. I envied his peace and contentment. I admired the simplicity he embodied. I imagined the welder happy, finding fulfillment in his craft (手艺) and returning to his loving family...The moment moved me to tears. Leaving the workshop, rain blending with tears, I realized how easily life’s poetry could pass unnoticed. Home again in Montreal, I stop simply pursuing better things, better experiences and better people that are never grasped. I realize the real journey is inward — to appreciate life’s ordinary magic. That sure beats petting any baby elephant. I may not have returned home “transformed,” but I’ll always think of the welder and his cat. 4. Which aspect of travelling makes the author feel uneasy? A. Shortage of adequate funds. B. Discomfort in dietary habits. C. Overstatement of travel’s effects. D. Danger of petting baby animals. 5. What drove the author to go to Athens? A. Meeting a commitment. B. Exploring a unique landscape. C. Receiving further education. D. Escaping from the current life. 6. What does the underlined word “poetry” in paragraph 6 probably refer to? A. Poems written by masters. B. Peace and simplicity. C. Spirit of craftsmanship. D. Special sound in the street. 7. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. Friendship Lasts Forever B. Travelling Shapes a Better Self C. Pursuit of Happiness Never Stops D. The Ordinary Makes Extraordinary C In 2022, the Nature Conservancy launched two 5-year pilot projects at working ranches (牧场) in Kansas and New Mexico to determine if virtual fences enable land managers to better perform regenerative management practices and to assess potential benefits for biodiversity and for ranchers’ bottom lines, as well as impacts on soil carbon storage. Applauded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture as a climate adaption strategy, virtual fencing is an innovative technology that enables ranchers to use a smartphone or web app to remotely monitor and control where and when cattle graze (吃草). Virtual fences can reduce the need for physical fences, which require significant time, expense and labor to maintain. Physical fences also limit land managers in their ability to change grazing boundaries to adapt to seasonal changes in vegetation or to exclude cattle from ecologically sensitive areas. The cows are outfitted with battery-operated, GPS-enabled collars that send out a radio frequency to communicate with reception towers, creating virtual grazing boundaries set by a rancher. When a cow approaches the edge of the virtual boundary, the collar produces a sound signaling it to turn around. If the cow proceeds to cross the boundary, it receives a momentary mild shock, signaling that it’s gone too far and should rejoin its group. Grasslands are the least protected habitat on earth and one of the most effective carbon sinks, storing up to 20% of the world’s soil organic carbon. Unfortunately, grasslands are continuing to rapidly disappear for several reasons. For ecological health, most grassland ecosystems need periods of disturbance to aerate (使透气) the soil, stimulate plant growth and recycle nutrients into the soil. Ranchers complete this disturbance-rest cycle by managing the timing, location, herd size and intensity of grazing activities, all of which can be time-consuming and painstaking. “Currently, the costs of virtual fencing are still high, but in the long run it can help land managers better carry out management practices that regenerate land health, help address climate change and biodiversity loss,” said William Burnidge, director of the Nature Conservancy. 8. What’s stressed concerning virtual fencing in paragraph 2? A. Its smart design. B. Its major advantages. C. Its wide application. D. Its working principles. 9. What does the mild shock indicate to the cow? A. It’s time to return. B. It’s time to graze. C. It’s in danger. D. It’s in a wrong direction. 10. What’s unavoidable for ranchers to complete the disturbance-rest cycle? A. Intense efforts. B. Polluted soil. C. Financial failure. D. Ecological imbalance. 11. What’s Mr. Burnidge’s attitude to virtual fencing? A. Intolerant. B. Objective. C. Doubtful. D. Conservative. D Over the past few months, I’ve been invited to speak with well-known writers, musicians and film producers regarding my recent book, Extraterrestrial. Prior to these conversations, I was on the receiving (and admiring) end of their artistic work, but now they were curious about my own research as a scientist. The reverse led me to recognize the similarities between innovation in the arts and the sciences. In sciences and arts alike, creativity appears magically as an unpredictable fountain of inspiration from the subconscious (潜意识). Its unexpected content breaks routines within traditional thinking. It delivers something new that is distinct from common practices, often taking people out of their comfort zone because it is ahead of its time. As a result, many innovators are laughed at and denied the recognition they deserve when they need it the most. There are many examples of such circumstances. In 1933 Fritz Zwicky inferred the existence of “dark matter”, but it took four decades for this concept to gain recognition within the astronomy community. Vincent van Gogh was considered a madman and a failure throughout his life. Today, his paintings are among the most expensive ever sold, though. Typically, life offers two ways of acquiring objects. One is by collecting available items, and the other is by creating things that never existed before. Whereas most items on the shelves of supermarkets are mass-produced, products that are newly created by artists or scientists are originally unique. Just like aging wine, a product of creative work acquires quality over time. It is colored by the response of the audience as well as by imitations. The initial circumstances are a reminder of an admirable baby. It is fascinating for a scientist or an artist to watch the interaction of their creation with the world, just as it is for parents to watch their children. Creativity in arts and sciences establishes a backdrop for human existence, as the content it invents gives pleasure and meaning to our lives. The human act of creation is an infinite-sum game, from which all of us benefit. And we can all participate in the creative process. 12. Which can best replace the underlined word “reverse” in paragraph 1? A. Priority. B. Assumption. C. Shift. D. Preference. 13. What can best describe creativity in sciences and arts? A. It tends to be forecastable. B. It mirrors common beliefs. C. It usually leads the times. D. It enjoys instant acceptance. 14. What can be inferred from paragraph 4? A. Creative works withstand the test of time. B. Mass-produced items are preferable. C. Old wine can’t be put into new bottles. D Inventiveness starts from childhood. 15. What’s the purpose of the last paragraph? A. To clarify a concept. B. To launch an appeal. C. To offer an entertainment. D. To advocate a lifestyle. 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。 Providing feedback is an essential part of personal and career development. ____16____ One of the most effective and classic methods to make it easier for both the giver and receiver is the feedback sandwich technique, sometimes also referred to as a compliment (赞美) sandwich. If you are seeking to enhance your career growth, learning about the feedback sandwich can be a game-changer. ____17____ Rather than simply focusing on what went wrong, it ensures that the person receiving the feedback also knows what went well. The process can be broken into three parts. A manager or superior starts by providing positive feedback to encourage a person to continue their good work. Afterward, they communicate constructive feedback for the person to improve. This feedback aims to be specific, behavioral, and relevant to the situation. ____18____ The feedback sandwich technique is a highly useful method. It can help soften the blow of criticism. By starting and ending with positive feedback, it’s easier for the recipient to receive the constructive criticism without feeling attacked. ____19____ As we all know, criticism is awkward, but when you’re giving potentially negative feedback, it’s easier when you’re also serving it up with two compliments. Additionally, it enables the meeting or an interaction to end on a positive note. ____20____ Many people are knowledgeable about this technique, which might make it sound insincere or predictable if not done correctly. Also, when feedback becomes a routine, employees can start to perceive positive feedback as simply a form of sugarcoating the negatives, thus reducing its value. Hence, positive feedback should not simply be seen as something to cushion the negative, but should be delivered so as to reinforce and encourage good performance. A. It’s essential to be aware of its limitations, though. B. Similarly it is also easier for the giver to offer feedback. C. The manager then ends the feedback session with positive feedback. D. The technique may lead to unclear and indirect personal communication. E. Delivering constructive criticism, however, can be challenging if not done correctly. F. It may not be for every situation, but it can make negative feedback more digestible. G. This technique involves using constructive feedback wrapped between two layers of positive feedback. 第二部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共15 小题;每小题1分,满分 15 分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I’d been exploring the 40-hectare woods around our cottage my whole life and I knew the way well.

As a newcomer, she’d come up with a special title for each classmate to remember the other kids. There was Kevin, Champion of the Clean Desk. Lynnie, Champion of Knowing the Answer First… Thinking hard, she finally decided her own title: Champion of Quiet. Maggie felt blue as Tuesday fell again. Mr. Murphy, the gym teacher, asked for volunteer captains to pick their own basketball teams. The usual hands shot into the air. Maggie sighed and glanced to her right. She caught the eye of Jasmine. Champion of Awkward, a girl who was sometimes picked last, too. Then Maggie had an idea. So when Mr. Murphy asked if anyone else wanted to volunteer, Maggie felt her hand slowly rise. Looking again at Jasmine, she took a big breath. Maybe it was time for her to use her voice. “Maggie?” Mr. Murphy smiled. “You want a turn?” “Yes,” she said. The class whispered. Maggie leading a team? “Yes,” she answered again, louder this time. Mr. Murphy waved Maggie to the front, where the other three captains—Champion of Jumping Rope, Champion of Never Misses a Shot, and Champion of Doesn’t Know How to Lose—stood, ready to choose their teams. “Maggie, you get first pick,” said Mr. Murphy. “Jasmine,” announced Maggie. The class snickered. A joke? More than once, Jasmine had tried to score on the wrong basket. Eyes wide, Jasmine took her place beside Maggie. The other three captains called out familiar names—the best players on the basketball court. It was Maggie’s turn again. “I choose Frank.” Frank (Champion of the Untied Shoelace) could not throw, or catch. He knew what it felt like to be the last pick. But not today. Three very talented teams took shape. And then there was Maggie’s team. Maggie looked at her teammates. There stood Jasmine and Frank, plus Gillian (Champion of Chatter) and George (Champion of Sleepy). “I have chosen the worst team in the history of the world,” Maggie thought to herself. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Hand in hand, the Maggie team walked onto the court. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ They did lose big, but something positive began to unfold in them. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 济宁市2024年高考模拟考试 英语试题 注意事项： 1.答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号等填写在答题卡和试卷指定位置上。 2.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。 回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3.考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节 (共15 小题;每小题2.5分,满分 37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A For the 150th anniversary of the first Impressionist exhibition, the Musée d’Orsay, which houses the world’s largest collection of this current, is offering a major retrospective (回顾展) of this artistic trend with Paris 1874: Inventing Impressionism from March 26 to July 14. 150 years ago, on April 15, 1874, in a luxurious photographer Nadar’s studio in northern Paris, Berthe Morisot, Edouard Degas and Claude Monet came together as a cooperative limited company to open the first Impressionist exhibition, a movement that would forever change the course of art history.

Globe-traveling to me held no more promise than finding a few bills in the pocket of an old coat. I needed something deeper than an Eat, Play, Love moment.

Friendship Lasts Forever B. Travelling Shapes a Better Self C. Pursuit of Happiness Never Stops D. The Ordinary Makes Extraordinary 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了作者对旅行的深刻反思，从最初对旅行改变人生的夸张说法感到厌倦，到在希腊雅典一次偶遇当地焊工的经历中，感悟到生活中平凡之美的诗意与满足，从而意识到真正的旅程是向内寻找，珍惜生活中的平凡奇迹。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第一段中“Travelling seemed like falsehood to me. I grew tired of backpackers expressing too much praise about how petting a baby elephant in Thailand “transformed” them.(对我来说，旅行似乎是骗人的。我已经厌倦了背包客们对在泰国抚摸小象如何“改变”了他们的赞不绝口。)”可知，旅行影响的过度陈述让作者感到不安，觉得是骗人的。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第二段中“One day, Vasilis, my Greek best friend, reminded me of our decade-old promise: after our final exams, I would visit his hometown in Athens. Maybe, it was time to make good on that promise.(有一天，我最好的希腊朋友瓦西里斯让我想起了我们十年前的约定：期末考试结束后，我要去他的家乡雅典。也许，是时候兑现这个承诺了。)”可知，为了兑现履行承诺，作者去了雅典。故选A。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。由文章倒数第二段“As the man continued welding, I felt a bit of envy. I envied his peace and contentment. I admired the simplicity he embodied. I imagined the welder happy, finding fulfillment in his craft (手艺) and returning to his loving family...The moment moved me to tears. Leaving the workshop, rain blending with tears, I realized how easily life’s poetry could pass unnoticed.(当那个人继续焊接时，我感到有点嫉妒。我羡慕他的平静和满足。我钦佩他所体现的纯朴。我想象着焊工快乐，在他的手艺中找到满足，回到他爱的家庭……那一刻我感动得流下了眼泪。离开车间，雨中夹杂着泪水，我意识到生活的诗意是多么容易被忽视。)”可知，这里的“诗意”并非指具体的诗歌，而是指前文描述的焊工那种平和、满足的生活状态，以及他对工艺的热爱和简单生活的美好。故选B。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由文章最后一段“Home again in Montreal, I stop simply pursuing better things, better experiences and better people that are never grasped. I realize the real journey is inward — to appreciate life’s ordinary magic. That sure beats petting any baby elephant. I may not have returned home “transformed,” but I’ll always think of the welder and his cat.(回到蒙特利尔的家，我不再简单地追求更好的事物、更好的经历和更好的人，而这些都是永远无法抓住的。我意识到真正的旅程是内在的——去欣赏生活平凡的魔力。这可比抚摸小象强多了。我回家时也许没有“变了”，但我总会想起那个焊工和他的猫。)”可知，文章通过作者的旅行经历，特别是雅典之行中与当地焊工的邂逅，让作者领悟到了平凡生活中的不平凡之美，改变了对旅行意义的看法，因此最合适的标题是选项D. “The Ordinary Makes Extraordinary平凡造就非凡”，它贴切地反映了作者的心路历程和文章的核心思想。故选D。 C In 2022 the Nature Conservancy launched two 5-year pilot projects at working ranches (牧场) in Kansas and New Mexico to determine if virtual fences enable land managers to better perform regenerative management practices and to assess potential benefits for biodiversity and for ranchers’ bottom lines, as well as impacts on soil carbon storage.

Ranchers complete this disturbance-rest cycle by managing the timing, location, herd size and intensity of grazing activities, all of which can be time-consuming and painstaking. “Currently, the costs of virtual fencing are still high, but in the long run it can help land managers better carry out management practices that regenerate land health, help address climate change and biodiversity loss,” said William Burnidge, director of the Nature Conservancy. 8. What’s stressed concerning virtual fencing in paragraph 2? A. Its smart design. B. Its major advantages. C. Its wide application. D. Its working principles. 9. What does the mild shock indicate to the cow? A. It’s time to return. B. It’s time to graze. C. It’s in danger. D. It’s in a wrong direction. 10. What’s unavoidable for ranchers to complete the disturbance-rest cycle? A. Intense efforts. B. Polluted soil. C. Financial failure. D. Ecological imbalance. 11. What’s Mr. Burnidge’s attitude to virtual fencing? A. Intolerant. B. Objective. C. Doubtful. D. Conservative. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了美国大自然保护协会启动虚拟围栏试点项目，利用智能项圈控制牛群放牧，旨在评估其对草地管理、生物多样性及土壤碳储存的潜在益处，助力可持续农业与气候适应。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第二段“Applauded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture as a climate adaption strategy, virtual fencing is an innovative technology that enables ranchers to use a smartphone or web app to remotely monitor and control where and when cattle graze (吃草). Virtual fences can reduce the need for physical fences, which require significant time, expense and labor to maintain. Physical fences also limit land managers in their ability to change grazing boundaries to adapt to seasonal changes in vegetation or to exclude cattle from ecologically sensitive areas. (虚拟围栏被美国农业部誉为一项气候适应战略，它是一项创新技术，使牧场主能够使用智能手机或网络应用程序远程监控和控制牛在何时何地吃草。虚拟围栏可以减少对物理围栏的需求，物理围栏需要大量的时间、费用和人力来维护。物理围栏也限制了土地管理者改变放牧边界以适应植被的季节性变化或将牛排除在生态敏感地区的能力。)”可知，第2段强调了虚拟围栏的主要优势。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第三段中“If the cow proceeds to cross the boundary, it receives a momentary mild shock, signaling that it’s gone too far and should rejoin its group. (如果母牛继续越过边界，它会受到短暂的轻微电击，这表明它走得太远了，应该重新加入它的群体。)”可知，轻微的电击对奶牛意味着是时候回来了。故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第四段中“For ecological health, most grassland ecosystems need periods of disturbance to aerate (使透气) the soil, stimulate plant growth and recycle nutrients into the soil. Ranchers complete this disturbance-rest cycle by managing the timing, location, herd size and intensity of grazing activities, all of which can be time-consuming and painstaking. (为了生态健康，大多数草地生态系统需要扰动期来给土壤通风，刺激植物生长，并将养分循环到土壤中。牧场主通过管理放牧活动的时间、地点、牧群规模和强度来完成这种干扰-休息循环，所有这些都是费时费力的。)”可知，牧场主完成扰动休息周期不可避免的是付出巨大努力，包括管理放牧的时间、地点、畜群大小和强度，这些都是费时费力的工作。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。由文章最后一段““Currently, the costs of virtual fencing are still high, but in the long run it can help land managers better carry out management practices that regenerate land health, help address climate change and biodiversity loss,” said William Burnidge, director of the Nature Conservancy. (“目前，虚拟围栏的成本仍然很高，但从长远来看，它可以帮助土地管理者更好地实施管理措施，使土地恢复健康，帮助应对气候变化和生物多样性丧失，”大自然保护协会主任威廉·伯尼奇说。)”可知，威廉·伯尼奇在评估其利弊时持有一个平衡的看法，对于虚拟围栏的态度是客观的。故选B。 D Over the past few months, I’ve been invited to speak with well-known writers, musicians and film producers regarding my recent book, Extraterrestrial. Prior to these conversations, I was on the receiving (and admiring) end of their artistic work, but now they were curious about my own research as a scientist. The reverse led me to recognize the similarities between innovation in the arts and the sciences. In sciences and arts alike, creativity appears magically as an unpredictable fountain of inspiration from the subconscious (潜意识). Its unexpected content breaks routines within traditional thinking. It delivers something new that is distinct from common practices, often taking people out of their comfort zone because it is ahead of its time. As a result, many innovators are laughed at and denied the recognition they deserve when they need it the most. There are many examples of such circumstances. In 1933 Fritz Zwicky inferred the existence of “dark matter”, but it took four decades for this concept to gain recognition within the astronomy community. Vincent van Gogh was considered a madman and a failure throughout his life. Today, his paintings are among the most expensive ever sold, though. Typically, life offers two ways of acquiring objects. One is by collecting available items, and the other is by creating things that never existed before. Whereas most items on the shelves of supermarkets are mass-produced, products that are newly created by artists or scientists are originally unique. Just like aging wine, a product of creative work acquires quality over time. It is colored by the response of the audience as well as by imitations. The initial circumstances are a reminder of an admirable baby. It is fascinating for a scientist or an artist to watch the interaction of their creation with the world, just as it is for parents to watch their children. Creativity in arts and sciences establishes a backdrop for human existence, as the content it invents gives pleasure and meaning to our lives. The human act of creation is an infinite-sum game, from which all of us benefit. And we can all participate in the creative process. 12. Which can best replace the underlined word “reverse” in paragraph 1? A. Priority. B. Assumption. C. Shift. D. Preference. 13. What can best describe creativity in sciences and arts? A. It tends to be forecastable. B. It mirrors common beliefs. C. It usually leads the times. D. It enjoys instant acceptance. 14. What can be inferred from paragraph 4? A. Creative works withstand the test of time. B. Mass-produced items are preferable. C. Old wine can’t be put into new bottles. D. Inventiveness starts from childhood. 15. What’s the purpose of the last paragraph? A. To clarify a concept. B. To launch an appeal. C. To offer an entertainment. D. To advocate a lifestyle. 【答案】12 C 13. C 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章探讨了艺术和科学中的创新与创造性，指出这两者常常领先于时代，并能随时间积累价值，倡导大家参与创造性活动。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词的上文“Prior to these conversations, I was on the receiving (and admiring) end of their artistic work, but now they were curious about my own research as a scientist. (在这些对话之前，我是他们艺术作品的接受者(和欣赏者)，但现在他们对我作为科学家的研究感到好奇。)”可知，作者和这些艺术家之间的身份发生了转变，因此画线词指这种“转变”，与shift意思相近。故选C项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Its unexpected content breaks routines within traditional thinking. It delivers something new that is distinct from common practices, often taking people out of their comfort zone because it is ahead of its time. (它意想不到的内容打破了传统思维的常规。它提供了一些不同于常规做法的新东西，经常把人们带出他们的舒适区，因为它超前于时代。)”可知，科学和艺术的创新常常超前于时代，是引领时代的。故选C项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Just like aging wine, a product of creative work acquires quality over time. It is colored by the response of the audience as well as by imitations. (就像陈年的葡萄酒一样，创造性工作的产物会随着时间的推移而获得品质。观众的反应和模仿都为它增添了色彩。)”可知，创造性的作品能够随时间提升其价值。由此可知，它们能经受时间的考验。故选A项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Creativity in arts and sciences establishes a backdrop for human existence, as the content it invents gives pleasure and meaning to our lives. The human act of creation is an infinite-sum game, from which all of us benefit. And we can all participate in the creative process. (艺术和科学的创造力为人类的生存奠定了基础，因为它创造的内容给我们的生活带来了乐趣和意义。人类的创造行为是一个无限求和的游戏，我们所有人都从中受益。我们都可以参与到创造过程中来。)”可知，这一段旨在倡导一种生活方式，即鼓励大家参与到创造性工作中，享受创造带来的乐趣和意义。因此，其目的是发起一项呼吁。故选B项。 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。 Providing feedback is an essential part of personal and career development. ____16____ One of the most effective and classic methods to make it easier for both the giver and receiver is the feedback sandwich technique, sometimes also referred to as a compliment (赞美) sandwich. If you are seeking to enhance your career growth, learning about the feedback sandwich can be a game-changer. ____17____ Rather than simply focusing on what went wrong, it ensures that the person receiving the feedback also knows what went well. The process can be broken into three parts. A manager or superior starts by providing positive feedback to encourage a person to continue their good work. Afterward, they communicate constructive feedback for the person to improve. This feedback aims to be specific, behavioral, and relevant to the situation. ____18____ The feedback sandwich technique is a highly useful method. It can help soften the blow of criticism. By starting and ending with positive feedback, it’s easier for the recipient to receive the constructive criticism without feeling attacked. ____19____ As we all know, criticism is awkward, but when you’re giving potentially negative feedback, it’s easier when you’re also serving it up with two compliments. Additionally, it enables the meeting or an interaction to end on a positive note. ____20____ Many people are knowledgeable about this technique, which might make it sound insincere or predictable if not done correctly. Also, when feedback becomes a routine, employees can start to perceive positive feedback as simply a form of sugarcoating the negatives, thus reducing its value. Hence, positive feedback should not simply be seen as something to cushion the negative, but should be delivered so as to reinforce and encourage good performance. A. It’s essential to be aware of its limitations, though. B. Similarly, it is also easier for the giver to offer feedback. C. The manager then ends the feedback session with positive feedback. D. The technique may lead to unclear and indirect personal communication. E. Delivering constructive criticism, however, can be challenging if not done correctly. F. It may not be for every situation, but it can make negative feedback more digestible. G. This technique involves using constructive feedback wrapped between two layers of positive feedback. 【答案】16. E 17. G 18. C 19. B 20. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了三明治反馈法，包括其含义、实施步骤、优势和局限性等。 【16题详解】 前文“Providing feedback is an essential part of personal and career development. (提供反馈是个人和职业发展的重要组成部分。)”表明提供反馈的重要性，后文“One of the most effective and classic methods to make it easier for both the giver and receiver is the feedback sandwich technique, sometimes also referred to as a compliment (赞美) sandwich. (对给予者和接受者来说，最有效和最经典的方法之一就是三明治反馈法，有时也被称为赞美三明治。)”引出有效和经典的三明治反馈法，因此E项“Delivering constructive criticism, however, can be challenging if not done correctly. (然而，如果做得不好，提出建设性的批评可能会很有挑战性。)”符合语境，指出提供反馈有时会带来挑战，和前文构成转折，引出后文的话题。故选E。 【17题详解】 前文“If you are seeking to enhance your career growth, learning about the feedback sandwich can be a game-changer. (如果你正在寻求促进你的职业发展，学习三明治反馈法可以改变游戏规则。)”提到三明治反馈法的重要作用，后文“Rather than simply focusing on what went wrong, it ensures that the person receiving the feedback also knows what went well. (它不是简单地关注哪里出了问题，而是确保接受反馈的人也知道哪里做得好。)”指出三明治反馈法的重要特点，因此G项“This technique involves using constructive feedback wrapped between two layers of positive feedback. (这个技巧涉及到在两层积极反馈之间使用建设性反馈。)”符合语境，简要概括这个反馈法的核心内容，承前启后，其中的This technique指代前文的the feedback sandwich。故选G。 【18题详解】 前文“A manager or superior starts by providing positive feedback to encourage a person to continue their good work. Afterward, they communicate constructive feedback for the person to improve. This feedback aims to be specific, behavioral, and relevant to the situation. (经理或上级首先要提供积极的反馈，鼓励员工继续做好工作。之后，他们沟通建设性的反馈意见，让这个人改进。这种反馈的目的是具体的、行为的和与情况相关的。)”具体介绍管理者负责的前两个步骤，因此C项“The manager then ends the feedback session with positive feedback. (然后，经理以积极的反馈结束反馈会话。)”符合语境，介绍第三个步骤，承接前文。故选C。 【19题详解】 前文“By starting and ending with positive feedback, it’s easier for the recipient to receive the constructive criticism without feeling attacked. (通过以积极的反馈开始和结束，接受者更容易接受建设性的批评，而不会感到受到攻击。)”从接受者的角度指出这一反馈法的优势，因此B项“Similarly, it is also easier for the giver to offer feedback. (同样，给予者也更容易提供反馈。)”符合语境，从给予者的角度指出这一反馈法的优势，和前文是平行关系。故选B。 【20题详解】 空处位于段首，是段落主旨句，需统领段落内容。根据后文“Many people are knowledgeable about this technique, which might make it sound insincere or predictable if not done correctly. Also, when feedback becomes a routine, employees can start to perceive positive feedback as simply a form of sugarcoating the negatives, thus reducing its value. (许多人都知道这个方法，如果做得不对，可能会让它听起来不真诚或可预测。此外，当反馈成为一种惯例时，员工会开始将积极的反馈视为一种粉饰消极的形式，从而降低了消极反馈的价值。)”可知，本段主要介绍了这一反馈法存在的问题，因此A项“It’s essential to be aware of its limitations, though. (不过，必须意识到它的局限性。)”符合语境，指出这一方法有局限性，契合后文内容。故选A。 第二部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共15 小题;每小题1分,满分 15 分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I’d been exploring the 40-hectare woods around our cottage my whole life and I knew the way well.

As a newcomer, she’d come up with a special title for each classmate to remember the other kids. There was Kevin, Champion of the Clean Desk. Lynnie, Champion of Knowing the Answer First… Thinking hard, she finally decided her own title: Champion of Quiet. Maggie felt blue as Tuesday fell again. Mr. Murphy, the gym teacher, asked for volunteer captains to pick their own basketball teams. The usual hands shot into the air. Maggie sighed and glanced to her right. She caught the eye of Jasmine. Champion of Awkward, a girl who was sometimes picked last, too. Then Maggie had an idea. So when Mr. Murphy asked if anyone else wanted to volunteer, Maggie felt her hand slowly rise. Looking again at Jasmine, she took a big breath. Maybe it was time for her to use her voice. “Maggie?” Mr. Murphy smiled. “You want a turn?” “Yes,” she said. The class whispered. Maggie leading a team? “Yes,” she answered again, louder this time. Mr. Murphy waved Maggie to the front, where the other three captains—Champion of Jumping Rope, Champion of Never Misses a Shot, and Champion of Doesn’t Know How to Lose—stood, ready to choose their teams. “Maggie, you get first pick,” said Mr. Murphy. “Jasmine,” announced Maggie. The class snickered. A joke? More than once, Jasmine had tried to score on the wrong basket. Eyes wide, Jasmine took her place beside Maggie. The other three captains called out familiar names—the best players on the basketball court. It was Maggie’s turn again. “I choose Frank.” Frank (Champion of the Untied Shoelace) could not throw, or catch. He knew what it felt like to be the last pick. But not today. Three very talented teams took shape. And then there was Maggie’s team. Maggie looked at her teammates. There stood Jasmine and Frank, plus Gillian (Champion of Chatter) and George (Champion of Sleepy). “I have chosen the worst team in the history of the world,” Maggie thought to herself. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Hand in hand, the Maggie team walked onto the court. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ They did lose big, but something positive began to unfold in them. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Hand in hand, the Maggie team walked onto the court. The other teams looked at them with scornful smiles, assuming that the game would be a quick and easy victory. As the game began, Maggie’s team displayed a surprising lack of skill, but they played with heart and determination, Jasmine’s awkward attempts at scoring drew laughter, but she persevered, Frank’s untied shoelaces tripped him up repeatedly, but he never gave up. Gillian’s chatter turned into encouraging shouts, and George’s sleepy eyes lit up with the excitement of the game. Hard as they tried, they lost the game. They did lose big, but something positive began to unfold in them. For the first time, they tasted the fulfillment and joy of being an integral part of a team. They transformed from a group of individuals to a cohesive unit, supporting and celebrating each other. As the final buzzer sounded, Maggie turned towards her team, beaming with pride. “We are, indeed, the Champions of No Score!” she declared and her teammates erupted into cheers. It enlightened them that victory was not solely determined by the scoreboard, but about the journey and the spirit of teamwork. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了Maggie刚来到这个学校，她很讨厌星期二，因为她在学校体育课上总是被最后选中。她根据同学们的性格特点，给每个人起了特别的名字，把自己称为“安静冠军”。这天是星期二，在体育课上，Maggie鼓起勇气自愿成为篮球队的队长，她选择了一支由不太擅长体育的同学组成的队伍。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Maggie的队伍手拉手走进球场”可知，第一段可描写其他队伍轻视Maggie的队伍，认为会轻松取胜，但是没想到Maggie的队员们都很努力，积极表现。 ②由第二段首句内容“他们确实输得很惨，但一些积极的东西开始在他们身上展现出来”可知，第二段可描写Maggie的队伍体现出的积极的品质，以及比赛结束后大家虽然失败了，但是非常开心，他们从中获得的感悟。 2. 续写线索：Maggie的队伍进入球场——受到轻视——努力表现——输掉比赛——积极品质——赛后行为——感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①认为：assume/think ②展现：display/present/demonstrate ③放弃：give up/quit ④转变：transform/shift/change ⑤宣布：declare/announce ⑥决定：determine/decide 情绪类 ①兴奋：excitement/thrill ②快乐：joy/delight/happiness 【点睛】[高分句型1] The other teams looked at them with scornful smiles, assuming that the game would be a quick and easy victory.
