B It took a wave of water full of plastic crashing over Babacar Thiaw as he went out to sea for him to decide to act. By the time his surfboard had carried him back to Virage beach on the north shore (岸) of Senegal’s capital, Dakar, Thiaw had a plan to make use of the surfing community he had built there. Within a year he had turned Copacabana Surf Village, which he founded with his father two decades ago, into a center for young Senegalese eco-surfers, where he organizes beach cleans, environmental courses for children and runs Senegal’s first zero-waste restaurant. Thiaw grew up in a fishing village near the beach, and the Copacabana Surf Village’s foundations (地基) were laid by his fisher father, who after a day’s work would head to Virage beach to surf on a wooden board. They worked hard to turn the Village into a business by renting out surfboards and later offering lessons with the help of visiting overseas surfers. It is now a popular surfing location, attracting tourists. It’s also a place where Thiaw teaches young Senegalese how to surf and care for the ocean they spend so much time in. “When we come to the water to surf, we can see how much plastic is ending up here and it disturbs (使烦恼) us,” says Mohammed Sarr, 17, who Thiaw taught to surf. Sarr says he has become more aware of how he uses and deals with plastic because he and his family, who live near the sea, are directly affected. Thiaw says there was doubt about the plastic-free initiative (倡议), with diners questioning whether it was healthy for him to be serving water in reusable glass bottles. But he stresses that everyone needs to understand the requirement to change .“ Once the environment is getting worse, you and your family and friends will surely suffer,” he says. 4. What caused Thiaw to decide to make a change? A. The attack of seawater. B. The sight of plastic in the sea. C. The dirty Virage beach. D. The needy surfing community. 5. What can we learn about Thiaw? A. He is very good at running a business. B. He founded the Village to save the sea. C. He was the first to develop Village beach. D. He tried hard to get support from the public. 6. Why does the author mention Sarr in paragraph 5? A. To show Thiaw’s influence on him. B. To describe his relationship with Thiaw. C. To share his worries about Thiaw’s efforts. D. To praise his surfing skills taught by Thiaw. 7. What does Thiaw expect of the restaurant-goers? A. They’ll have a healthy diet. B. They’ll donate to locals in need. C. They’ll do their part for the environment. D. They’ll contribute to running the restaurant. C Customers would feel right at home as Chili recently applied Rita the robot to 51 restaurants, in addition to the 10 in which the technology was already being tested. Rita, created by Bear Robotics, can act as a sort of server, guiding guests to their tables, carrying food, even singing “Happy Birthday”. While this type of automation is quickly expanding (扩展) throughout the restaurant industry due to historic labor shortages (劳动力短缺), Wade Allen, Senior Vice President of Innovation, said Rita’s pilot wasn’t performed because of the “economic situation”. Chili’s growth shows the restaurant industry is confident in Rita’s early performance, particularly in utilization (使用) and error rates. Allen said Rita produced “great utilization rates”, based on whether employees (员工) were using and communicating with the technology. Even seemingly unuseful functions such as “singing” provide more opportunities and higher utilization rates that are above 30%. On the error side, Allen said Rita functions without a problem over 99% of the time. However, such technology could be seen as bells and whistles to customers. And, indeed, there is a risk here as most customers have said they prefer to communicate with human workers even as this type of guest-facing technology increases. Allen said the company hasn’t looked deep to see if Rita translates to labor savings. They also don’t know whether Rita’s presence has affected servers’ tips, stating, “We hope to learn more as Rita expands.” “My goal is not to take people out of the service industry; people are what make this industry. My goal is to make our employees’jobs easier, and I absolutely think robotics is a service progress. The future is a world where we still have amazing service, but we can simplify and automate some of the difficult and unnecessary tasks,” Allen said, “We know Rita adds value. We’re not toying with this. Our intention is to go broader.” 8. What do we know about Rita the robot according to the passage? A. It reduces servers’ tips. B. It shakes up the job market. C. It increases labor costs in restaurants. D. It is skilled in the restaurant industry. 9. What made the restaurant industry feel confident in Rita? A. It made a big profit for owners. B. It expanded rapidly worldwide. C. It won the support of employees. D. It was equipped with unique functions. 10. What does the underlined part “bells and whistles” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Practical ideas. B. Strategic plans. C. Attractive but unnecessary things. D. Small but important tools. 11. What can we expect from Rita according to Allen? A. It will hit the service industry. B. It will help speed up robotic research. C. It will become more customer-friendly. D. It will promote the service quality with employees. D Have you ever bought anything useful for the useless item you bought earlier? This cycle just goes on and on, and you will end up with tons of useless stuff. This is a phenomenon we call The Birdcage Effect. You don’t feel like having a pet animal. One day, your friend sends you a birdcage as your birthday present, telling you to put it on your table. Of course, you agreed. Then multiple people pass by asking you where the pet bird is. After you answer no, people suggest you get one for the birdcage. Finally, you buy one bird, then bird treats, toys, and even clothes. You keep adding more items to the bird’s bill. Is there anything wrong? As the name suggested — the birdcage effect holds back people’s ability to think from the outside of a birdcage. You buy a pet bird — which you never thought about having — because of the birdcage. This effect is mainly caused by you voluntarily assuming that the birdcage is part of your table; it acts as one of the conditions instead of a variable — which it is supposed to be. Therefore, you will end up spending the necessary money on something unnecessary. For example, buy 1 get 1 for free — the discount caged you so that you are getting something excess that is unneeded. Now, it comes to how to avoid the birdcage effect. First, we need to be result-oriented: when dealing with a birdcage, telling yourself to consider the result before stepping on the path is a wise approach. Moreover, it’s significant to remember that less is typically better than more. When given a “birdcage”, throwing away the birdcage may seem ignorant and wasteful; however, it will stop you from getting a bird —or in other words, wasting more money on unnecessary things. The birdcage effect is difficult to get rid of. However it can be prevented if we properly control our unreasonable needs. Do not let an object lead your action, but let your logical mind guide your decision. 12. Which is The Birdcage Effect as described in the passage? A. Buy flowers for an unwanted vase. B. Behave better with others’ praise. C. Get a birdcage for your bird pet. D. Throw a birdcage to avoid waste. 13. What do we know about The Birdcage Effect from paragraph 3? A. It leads to the gathering of something necessary. B. It limits our ability to understand outside the box. C. It encourages us to consider the birdcage as a variable. D. It helps us save money by spending on discounted goods. 14. Which of the following may the author agree? A. Keep everything and avoid waste. B. Ignore outcomes and always buy more. C. Consider the discount and add more to the bill. D. Free yourself from ill-suited items and simplify life. 15. What message does the passage mainly convey? A. Get rid of our desires at all times. B. Allow an object to control our choices. C. Make logical and result-driven decisions. D. Make good use of The Birdcage Effect in our life. 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。 It’s a fantastic idea to reread novels. ___16___ For a while, I saw little point in rereading. Why reread a favourite when there are other books waiting for you? Most book lovers have long books waiting to be read. It seems a waste of time to reread a novel. The aspect of time is an important point for readers — a novel simply is not a poem, short story or movie. ___17___ For one, the purpose of reading changes. You are no longer familiarising yourself with the plot, characters or setting. These narrative points were made clear in the first read. Rather, the second and third reading allows greater focus on the theme, literary references, style and the more subtle (细微的) aspects of the novel. This makes for a more enjoyable read. In many ways, a novel is like an endless treasure chest of pirate gold. ___18___ Another delightful part of rereading is the lack of need to “understand” a novel. You’ve already read it and can now determine the extent of your enjoyment. However, there’s a possibility of disliking a novel at second glance. There’s nothing wrong with this! ___19___ It’s through rereading that we develop an understanding of our tastes. I’m not suggesting that rereading is superior to (优于) reading novels for the first time. Yet, it’s worth arranging time for two or three novels a year. You shouldn’t reread any book. Rather, pick a favourite to start with, preferably a story you read over a year ago. ___20___ It’s entirely possible not to enjoy a novel at first but go on to appreciate it at a different stage in your life. Either way — keep reading. A. Our tastes and preferences change. B. However, it wasn’t something I often did. C. Yet plots, characters and settings still matter. D. Still, I must mention the benefits of rereading. E I prefer the latter even though the enjoyment is less. F. Or, pick a novel you are having second thoughts about. G. You’ll always find something previously undiscovered. 第三部分 语言运用（共三节，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，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。 I think about him when I'm out walking, and I, just like him, wave and smile at strangers driving past or walking by.

He ___23___ at around 4: 00 am, waving and calling out, “Good morning ! Have a great day! ” to ___24___ workers, kids, and tourists until 10: 00 am. I ___25___ Johnny about 30 years ago when I was a travel reporter doing stories about Bermuda. I asked him ___26___ he was doing this except on weekends. There were no social media back then, so it wasn’t for ___27___ and follows .“ I’m just trying to make people happy,” he said, smiling. Johnny just wanted to deliver ___28___ . It ___29___ when he had been on foot, crossing this very busy roundabout, and ____30____ trapped him in the middle, so he smiled and waved to the passers-by while ____31____ . He felt so good doing it that he quit his job as a bus driver to become a(n) ____32____ spreader of joy; he was a 60-year-old at the time. Johnny continued his daily ____33____ for more than 30 years. People stopped to talk to him, for they ____34____ how he made them feel. When Johnny died at 93 years old in 2016, Bermudians ____35____ him so much that they put up a statue of him to keep his spirit alive. 21. A. hobby B. desire C. spirit D. courage 22. A. birthday B. weekday C. holiday D. weekend 23. A. dropped in B. checked out C. went on D. showed up 24. A. passing B. laughing C. exercising D. parking 25.

Throughout her school years, she struggled with public speaking, often feeling her heart race and her palms sweat at the me re thought of standing in front of a crowd. This fear held her back in many ways, making her pass up opportunities that came her way, from leading class projects to participating in school debates. Her classmates saw her as the quiet girl in the back row, the one who always had her nose in a book, but seldom raised her hand to answer questions. During her final year of high school, Mia’s English teacher, Mr. Thompson, announced the annual speech competition. The theme was “Overcoming Challenges,” and it was a significant part of the grade. Mia felt a familiar wave of anxiety wash over her. However, this time, something within her stirred. She was tired of letting her fears define her experiences and limit her growth. It was a spark that inspired her determination to change her life. With a newfound determination, Mia decided to face her fear head-on. She chose a topic close to her heart: “The Power of Stepping Out of Your Comfort Zone.” Preparing for the speech became her mission. She researched extensively, wrote and rewrote her speech multiple times, and practiced in front of her mirror, then her family, and gradually, a small group of friends. Each step was a challenge, pushing her beyond the familiar boundaries of her comfort zone. Her friends and family noticed the change in her, the gradual increase in confidence that came with each practice session. The day of the competition arrived, and as Mia waited for her turn, she could feel the familiar symptoms of her anxiety creeping in. But she reminded herself of the journey she had gone through, the effort she had put in, and the support she had received. She realized that regardless of the outcome, she had already overcome the biggest challenge by facing her fear directly. This realization brought a sense of calm over her, a quiet confidence that she had never felt before. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Mia stepped onto the stage. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ What happened next was unforgettable for Mia. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2023级普通高中学科素养水平监测试卷 英语试题 2024.4 本试卷分选择题和非选择题两部分。满分150分。考试用时120分钟。 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号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 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5 小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

(格莱美获奖歌手、诗词作曲家和音乐家Marty Stuart对乡村音乐史津津乐道。他有一个秘密武器：由吉他手Kenny Vaughan、鼓手Harry Stinson和新成员贝斯手Chris Scruggs组成的Fabulous Superlatives。)”可知，喜欢乡村音乐的人可以选择Marty Stuart & His Fabulous Superlatives，故选D。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章One Night of Queen部分“Now in the 13th year of touring the US, One Night of Queen is a big live concert, recreating the look, sound, and showmanship (演艺艺术) of arguably the greatest rock band of all time. (现在已是巡演美国的第13年了，One Night of Queen是一场大型的现场音乐会，重现了可以说是有史以来最大型的摇滚乐队的外观、声音和表演技巧。)”可知，是由摇滚乐队演奏的一场大型现场音乐会，故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章Mutts Gone Nuts Sun, April 30, 2023 1: 00 PM部分“Imagine nine of the world’s most talented 4-legged performers in a funny, comedy dog performance! (想象一下，九位世界上最有才华的四条腿表演者在一场有趣的喜剧狗表演中。)”可知，Mutts Gone Nuts Sun是一场动物演绎的表演，故人们如果想要去看的话，应该选择在2023年4月30日，故选A。 B It took a wave of water full of plastic crashing over Babacar Thiaw as he went out to sea for him to decide to act. By the time his surfboard had carried him back to Virage beach on the north shore (岸) of Senegal’s capital, Dakar, Thiaw had a plan to make use of the surfing community he had built there. Within a year he had turned Copacabana Surf Village, which he founded with his father two decades ago, into a center for young Senegalese eco-surfers, where he organizes beach cleans, environmental courses for children and runs Senegal’s first zero-waste restaurant. Thiaw grew up in a fishing village near the beach, and the Copacabana Surf Village’s foundations (地基) were laid by his fisher father, who after a day’s work would head to Virage beach to surf on a wooden board. They worked hard to turn the Village into a business by renting out surfboards and later offering lessons with the help of visiting overseas surfers. It is now a popular surfing location, attracting tourists. It’s also a place where Thiaw teaches young Senegalese how to surf and care for the ocean they spend so much time in. “When we come to the water to surf, we can see how much plastic is ending up here and it disturbs (使烦恼) us,” says Mohammed Sarr, 17, who Thiaw taught to surf. Sarr says he has become more aware of how he uses and deals with plastic because he and his family, who live near the sea, are directly affected. Thiaw says there was doubt about the plastic-free initiative (倡议), with diners questioning whether it was healthy for him to be serving water in reusable glass bottles. But he stresses that everyone needs to understand the requirement to change .“ Once the environment is getting worse, you and your family and friends will surely suffer,” he says. 4. What caused Thiaw to decide to make a change? A. The attack of seawater. B. The sight of plastic in the sea. C. The dirty Virage beach. D. The needy surfing community. 5. What can we learn about Thiaw? A. He is very good at running a business. B. He founded the Village to save the sea. C. He was the first to develop Village beach. D. He tried hard to get support from the public. 6. Why does the author mention Sarr in paragraph 5? A. To show Thiaw’s influence on him. B. To describe his relationship with Thiaw. C. To share his worries about Thiaw’s efforts. D. To praise his surfing skills taught by Thiaw. 7. What does Thiaw expect of the restaurant-goers? A. They’ll have a healthy diet. B. They’ll donate to locals in need. C. They’ll do their part for the environment. D. They’ll contribute to running the restaurant. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文属于新闻报道。塞内加尔青年Babacar Thiaw发起海滩清洁行动，用行动对抗塑料污染，激励社区共同参与，守护海岸线环境。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第一段中“It took a wave of water full of plastic crashing over Babacar Thiaw as he went out to sea for him to decide to act. (当Babacar Thiaw出海时，一股充满塑料的海浪拍打着他，他才决定采取行动。)”可知，是海中的塑料景象让他决定做出改变。故选B。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Within a year he had turned Copacabana Surf Village, which he founded with his father two decades ago, into a center for young Senegalese eco-surfers, where he organizes beach cleans, environmental courses for children and runs Senegal’s first zero-waste restaurant. (在一年之内，他就把Copacabana Surf Village变成了塞内加尔年轻生态冲浪者的中心，他在那里组织海滩清洁，为儿童举办环保课程，并经营塞内加尔第一家零浪费餐厅。)”和第四段中“It is now a popular surfing location, attracting tourists. It’s also a place where Thiaw teaches young Senegalese how to surf and care for the ocean they spend so much time in. (现在它是一个受欢迎的冲浪地点，吸引着游客。Thiaw也在这里教塞内加尔的年轻人如何冲浪，以及如何照顾他们花了很多时间在里面的海洋。)”可知，他努力传播环保理念，努力争取公众的支持。故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段““When we come to the water to surf, we can see how much plastic is ending up here and it disturbs (使烦恼) us,” says Mohammed Sarr, 17, who Thiaw taught to surf. Sarr says he has become more aware of how he uses and deals with plastic because he and his family, who live near the sea, are directly affected. (17岁的Mohammed Sarr说：“当我们来到水里冲浪时，我们可以看到有多少塑料最终落在这里，这让我们感到不安。”Sarr说，他越来越意识到他是如何使用和处理塑料的，因为他和他的家人住在海边，直接受到影响。)”可知，Thiaw对Sarr产生了积极影响，让他更加意识到塑料使用和处理的问题。因此，提到Sarr是为了展示Thiaw对他的影响。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。由文章最后一段“Thiaw says there was doubt about the plastic-free initiative (倡议), with diners questioning whether it was healthy for him to be serving water in reusable glass bottles. But he stresses that everyone needs to understand the requirement to change .“ Once the environment is getting worse, you and your family and friends will surely suffer,” he says. (Thiaw说，人们对无塑料倡议持怀疑态度，食客们质疑他用可重复使用的玻璃瓶盛水是否健康。但他强调，每个人都需要理解改变的必要性，他说：“一旦环境变得更糟，你和你的家人和朋友肯定会遭殃。”)”可知，Thiaw希望人们能理解改变的必要性，因为环境恶化会影响到每一个人。可以推断Thiaw期望餐厅顾客能为环境保护尽自己的一份力。故选C。 C Customers would feel right at home as Chili recently applied Rita the robot to 51 restaurants, in addition to the 10 in which the technology was already being tested. Rita, created by Bear Robotics, can act as a sort of server, guiding guests to their tables, carrying food, even singing “Happy Birthday”. While this type of automation is quickly expanding (扩展) throughout the restaurant industry due to historic labor shortages (劳动力短缺), Wade Allen, Senior Vice President of Innovation, said Rita’s pilot wasn’t performed because of the “economic situation”. Chili’s growth shows the restaurant industry is confident in Rita’s early performance, particularly in utilization (使用) and error rates. Allen said Rita produced “great utilization rates”, based on whether employees (员工) were using and communicating with the technology. Even seemingly unuseful functions such as “singing” provide more opportunities and higher utilization rates that are above 30%. On the error side, Allen said Rita functions without a problem over 99% of the time. However, such technology could be seen as bells and whistles to customers. And, indeed, there is a risk here as most customers have said they prefer to communicate with human workers even as this type of guest-facing technology increases. Allen said the company hasn’t looked deep to see if Rita translates to labor savings. They also don’t know whether Rita’s presence has affected servers’ tips, stating, “We hope to learn more as Rita expands.” “My goal is not to take people out of the service industry; people are what make this industry. My goal is to make our employees’jobs easier, and I absolutely think robotics is a service progress. The future is a world where we still have amazing service, but we can simplify and automate some of the difficult and unnecessary tasks,” Allen said, “We know Rita adds value. We’re not toying with this. Our intention is to go broader.” 8. What do we know about Rita the robot according to the passage? A. It reduces servers’ tips. B. It shakes up the job market. C. It increases labor costs in restaurants. D. It is skilled in the restaurant industry. 9. What made the restaurant industry feel confident in Rita? A. It made a big profit for owners. B. It expanded rapidly worldwide. C. It won the support of employees. D. It was equipped with unique functions. 10. What does the underlined part “bells and whistles” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Practical ideas. B. Strategic plans. C. Attractive but unnecessary things. D. Small but important tools. 11. What can we expect from Rita according to Allen? A. It will hit the service industry. B. It will help speed up robotic research. C. It will become more customer-friendly. D. It will promote the service quality with employees. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文，文章讲的Chili餐厅最近在51家餐厅中应用了由Bear Robotics创建的机器人Rita，充当服务员，引导客人到他们的桌子，搬运食物，甚至唱“生日快乐”。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Rita, created by Bear Robotics, can act as a sort of server, guiding guests to their tables, carrying food, even singing “Happy Birthday””（由 Bear Robotics 创造的Rita可以充当某种服务员，引导客人到他们的桌子，携带食物，甚至唱“生日快乐”。）可知，Rita具备一定的餐厅服务技能。故选D。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Chili’s growth shows the restaurant industry is confident in Rita’s early performance, particularly in utilization (使用) and error rates. Allen said Rita produced “great utilization rates”, based on whether employees (员工) were using and communicating with the technology.”（Chili 的增长表明，餐饮业对 Rita 的早期表现充满信心，特别是在利用率和错误率方面。Allen 说，根据员工是否在使用和交流这项技术，Rita产生了“很高的利用率”。）可知，员工对 Rita 的使用率很高，可推理出，Rita受到了员工的支持，这让餐饮业对Rita有信心。故选C。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线部分下文“And, indeed, there is a risk here as most customers have said they prefer to communicate with human workers even as this type of guest-facing technology increases.”（而且，事实上，这里存在风险，因为大多数客户表示，即使这种面向客人的技术增加，他们也更喜欢与人类员工交流。）可知，虽然这种技术在增加，但是大部分顾客还是喜欢和人类服务员交流。由此可推知，对于顾客而言，这种技术可能只是吸引人但并非必要的东西。画线短语“bells and whistles”应译为“华丽的点缀”，与选项C“有吸引力但不必要的东西”意思接近。故选C。 11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“My goal is to make our employees’ jobs easier, and I absolutely think robotics is a service progress. The future is a world where we still have amazing service, but we can simplify and automate some of the difficult and unnecessary tasks”（我的目标是让我们员工的工作更轻松，我绝对认为机器人技术是一种服务进步。未来的世界，我们仍然会有令人惊叹的服务，但我们可以简化和自动化一些困难和不必要的任务）以及“We know Rita adds value.”（我们知道Rita增加了价值。）可推知，Allen认为Rita会提升服务质量。故选D。 D Have you ever bought anything useful for the useless item you bought earlier? This cycle just goes on and on, and you will end up with tons of useless stuff. This is a phenomenon we call The Birdcage Effect. You don’t feel like having a pet animal. One day, your friend sends you a birdcage as your birthday present, telling you to put it on your table. Of course, you agreed. Then multiple people pass by asking you where the pet bird is. After you answer no, people suggest you get one for the birdcage. Finally, you buy one bird, then bird treats, toys, and even clothes. You keep adding more items to the bird’s bill. Is there anything wrong? As the name suggested — the birdcage effect holds back people’s ability to think from the outside of a birdcage. You buy a pet bird — which you never thought about having — because of the birdcage. This effect is mainly caused by you voluntarily assuming that the birdcage is part of your table; it acts as one of the conditions instead of a variable — which it is supposed to be. Therefore, you will end up spending the necessary money on something unnecessary. For example, buy 1 get 1 for free — the discount caged you so that you are getting something excess that is unneeded. Now, it comes to how to avoid the birdcage effect. First, we need to be result-oriented: when dealing with a birdcage, telling yourself to consider the result before stepping on the path is a wise approach. Moreover, it’s significant to remember that less is typically better than more. When given a “birdcage”, throwing away the birdcage may seem ignorant and wasteful; however, it will stop you from getting a bird —or in other words, wasting more money on unnecessary things. The birdcage effect is difficult to get rid of. However, it can be prevented if we properly control our unreasonable needs. Do not let an object lead your action, but let your logical mind guide your decision. 12. Which is The Birdcage Effect as described in the passage? A. Buy flowers for an unwanted vase. B. Behave better with others’ praise. C. Get a birdcage for your bird pet. D. Throw a birdcage to avoid waste. 13. What do we know about The Birdcage Effect from paragraph 3? A. It leads to the gathering of something necessary. B. It limits our ability to understand outside the box. C. It encourages us to consider the birdcage as a variable. D. It helps us save money by spending on discounted goods. 14. Which of the following may the author agree? A. Keep everything and avoid waste. B. Ignore outcomes and always buy more. C. Consider the discount and add more to the bill. D. Free yourself from ill-suited items and simplify life. 15. What message does the passage mainly convey? A. Get rid of our desires at all times. B. Allow an object to control our choices. C. Make logical and result-driven decisions. D. Make good use of The Birdcage Effect in our life. 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了“鸟笼效应”的含义、弊端以及相应的解决方法。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Have you ever bought anything useful for the useless item you bought earlier? This cycle just goes on and on, and you will end up with tons of useless stuff. This is a phenomenon we call The Birdcage Effect. (你有没有为之前买的没用的东西买过有用的东西？这样循环往复，最终你会得到大量无用的东西。这种现象我们称之为“鸟笼效应”)”可知，“鸟笼效应”指的是为没用的东西买有用的东西，最终得到大量无用的东西的现象，结合选项可知，“为不想要的花瓶买花”属于“鸟笼效应”。故选A项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“As the name suggested — the birdcage effect holds back people’s ability to think from the outside of a birdcage. You buy a pet bird — which you never thought about having — because of the birdcage. This effect is mainly caused by you voluntarily assuming that the birdcage is part of your table; it acts as one of the conditions instead of a variable — which it is supposed to be. (顾名思义，鸟笼效应阻碍了人们从鸟笼外面思考的能力。你买了一只宠物鸟——这是你从未想过的——因为鸟笼。这种效果主要是由于你自愿地把鸟笼当成你桌子的一部分；它作为一个条件，而不是一个变量——它应该是一个变量)”可知，“鸟笼效应”限制了我们跳出固有思维去理解的能力。故选B项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Moreover, it’s significant to remember that less is typically better than more. When given a “birdcage”, throwing away the birdcage may seem ignorant and wasteful; however, it will stop you from getting a bird —or in other words, wasting more money on unnecessary things. (此外，重要的是要记住，少通常比多好。当有人给你一个“鸟笼”时，扔掉鸟笼可能显得无知和浪费；然而，它会阻止你得到一只鸟，或者换句话说，在不必要的东西上浪费更多的钱)”可知，作者认为少优于多，扔掉鸟笼可以阻止我们购买不必要的东西。因此，作者应该会赞同“把自己从不合适的物品中解放出来，简化生活”的观点。故选D项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第四段中“First, we need to be result-oriented: when dealing with a birdcage, telling yourself to consider the result before stepping on the path is a wise approach. (首先，我们需要以结果为导向：在处理鸟笼时，告诉自己在踏上道路之前考虑结果是一个明智的方法)”和最后一段中“Do not let an object lead your action, but let your logical mind guide your decision. (不要让一个事物引导你的行动，而要让你的逻辑思维引导你的决定)”可知，文章围绕“鸟笼效应”展开，为读者介绍了其含义、弊端以及相应的解决方法，想告诫读者应预防这种效应，尽量做出合乎逻辑的、结果导向的决定。故选C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。 It’s a fantastic idea to reread novels. ___16___ For a while, I saw little point in rereading. Why reread a favourite when there are other books waiting for you? Most book lovers have long books waiting to be read. It seems a waste of time to reread a novel. The aspect of time is an important point for readers — a novel simply is not a poem, short story or movie. ___17___ For one, the purpose of reading changes. You are no longer familiarising yourself with the plot, characters or setting. These narrative points were made clear in the first read. Rather, the second and third reading allows greater focus on the theme, literary references, style and the more subtle (细微的) aspects of the novel. This makes for a more enjoyable read. In many ways, a novel is like an endless treasure chest of pirate gold. ___18___ Another delightful part of rereading is the lack of need to “understand” a novel. You’ve already read it and can now determine the extent of your enjoyment. However, there’s a possibility of disliking a novel at second glance. There’s nothing wrong with this! ___19___ It’s through rereading that we develop an understanding of our tastes. I’m not suggesting that rereading is superior to (优于) reading novels for the first time. Yet, it’s worth arranging time for two or three novels a year. You shouldn’t reread any book. Rather, pick a favourite to start with, preferably a story you read over a year ago. ___20___ It’s entirely possible not to enjoy a novel at first but go on to appreciate it at a different stage in your life. Either way — keep reading. A. Our tastes and preferences change. B. However, it wasn’t something I often did. C. Yet plots, characters and settings still matter. D. Still, I must mention the benefits of rereading. E. I prefer the latter even though the enjoyment is less. F. Or, pick a novel you are having second thoughts about. G. You’ll always find something previously undiscovered. 【答案】16. B 17. D 18. G 19. A 20. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了重读小说的重要性、好处以及开始的方法。 【16题详解】 前文“It’s a fantastic idea to reread novels. (重读小说是个好主意)”认可重读小说的价值，后文“For a while, I saw little point in rereading. (有一段时间，我觉得重读没有什么意义)”提到有一段时间自己未意识到重读的意义，空处应该有转折，可能与并不经常重读相关，B项“However, it wasn’t something I often did.

(首先，阅读的目的改变了)”和“Rather, the second and third reading allows greater focus on the theme, literary references, style and the more subtle (细微的) aspects of the novel. (相反，第二和第三次阅读可以让你更加关注小说的主题、文学参考、风格和更微妙的方面)”，以及下一段中“Another delightful part of rereading is the lack of need to “understand” a novel. (重读的另一个令人愉快的地方是不需要“理解”小说)”具体陈述了重读小说的好处，空处作为段首句，应该指出重读小说是有好处的，从而引出后文，D项“Still, I must mention the benefits of rereading. (不过，我必须提到重读的好处)”符合语境，和上一段构成转折，契合后文内容。故选D。 【18题详解】 前文“In many ways, a novel is like an endless treasure chest of pirate gold. (从很多方面来说，一部小说就像一个装满海盗黄金的无尽宝箱)”把小说比作装满海盗黄金的无尽宝箱，空处应该会指出小说中总会有可以挖掘的东西，G项“You’ll always find something previously undiscovered. (你总会发现一些以前未被发现的东西)”符合语境，承接前文。故选G。 【19题详解】 前文“However, there’s a possibility of disliking a novel at second glance. There’s nothing wrong with this! (然而，也有可能第二眼就不喜欢一本小说。这没有错)”指出重读小说发现不再喜欢是正常的事情，后文“It’s through rereading that we develop an understanding of our tastes.

Throughout her school years, she struggled with public speaking, often feeling her heart race and her palms sweat at the me re thought of standing in front of a crowd. This fear held her back in many ways, making her pass up opportunities that came her way, from leading class projects to participating in school debates. Her classmates saw her as the quiet girl in the back row, the one who always had her nose in a book, but seldom raised her hand to answer questions. During her final year of high school, Mia’s English teacher, Mr. Thompson, announced the annual speech competition. The theme was “Overcoming Challenges,” and it was a significant part of the grade. Mia felt a familiar wave of anxiety wash over her. However, this time, something within her stirred. She was tired of letting her fears define her experiences and limit her growth. It was a spark that inspired her determination to change her life. With a newfound determination, Mia decided to face her fear head-on. She chose a topic close to her heart: “The Power of Stepping Out of Your Comfort Zone.” Preparing for the speech became her mission. She researched extensively, wrote and rewrote her speech multiple times, and practiced in front of her mirror, then her family, and gradually, a small group of friends. Each step was a challenge, pushing her beyond the familiar boundaries of her comfort zone. Her friends and family noticed the change in her, the gradual increase in confidence that came with each practice session. The day of the competition arrived, and as Mia waited for her turn, she could feel the familiar symptoms of her anxiety creeping in. But she reminded herself of the journey she had gone through, the effort she had put in, and the support she had received. She realized that regardless of the outcome, she had already overcome the biggest challenge by facing her fear directly. This realization brought a sense of calm over her, a quiet confidence that she had never felt before. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Mia stepped onto the stage. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ What happened next was unforgettable for Mia. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Mia stepped onto the stage. She took a deep breath, looked up at the audience and began her speech. Her voice was steady and confident, and she delivered each word with conviction. The audience listened attentively, occasionally nodding in agreement or smiling in encouragement. As Mia reached the end of her speech, she felt a sense of pride and accomplishment wash over her. She had done it! She had faced her fear and delivered a powerful message to herself and others. What happened next was unforgettable for Mia. The judges deliberated for a few moments before announcing the winners. When they called out Mia's name as the first-place winner, she could hardly believe her ears. The applause from the audience was deafening, and her classmates rushed to congratulate her. Mr. Thompson beamed with pride, knowing that he had witnessed a true transformation in one of his students. For Mia, this moment marked not only a victory in a speech competition but also a turning point in her life. She had learned that stepping out of her comfort zone could lead to incredible growth and opportunities. 【解析】 【导语】文章以事件发展为线索展开，主要讲述了害羞内向的 Mia 决定克服恐惧参加演讲比赛的故事。 【详解】段落续写： 由第一段首句内容“Mia 走上舞台。”可知，第一段可描写 Mia 在舞台上演讲的表现。 由第二段首句内容“接下来发生的事情对 Mia 来说是难忘的。”可知，第二段可描写比赛结果以及 Mia 的感受和感悟。 续写线索：上台——演讲——结束演讲——等待结果——宣布结果——激动——感悟 词汇激活 行为类 ①深呼吸：take a deep breath / draw a deep breath ②开始演讲：begin her speech / commence her address ③宣布：announce / declare 情绪类 ①骄傲：pride / be proud of ②激动：fear/apprehension 【点睛】[高分句型 1]When they called out Mia's name as the first-place winner, she could hardly believe her ears.（使用了when引导时间状语从句） [高分句型 2]Mr. Thompson beamed with pride, knowing that he had witnessed a true transformation in one of his students.（使用了现在分词短语作状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
