B This year, it was harder than ever to get into Harvard University. The prestigious college announced their lowest acceptance rate ever, welcoming only 1,968 of 57,435 first-year applicants into their hallowed halls. Thanks to Abigail Mack’s moving, insightful essay, she will be one of the lucky students to matriculate this fall. The Massachusetts high school senior used TikTok to share a part of the essay that made her one of the 4 percent of applicants who made the cut. Her essay focused on an unusual theme: the letter “S.” “I hate the letter ‘S’” she read aloud on TikTok. “Of the 164,777 words with ‘S’, I only struggle with one. To condemn an entire letter because of its use 0.0006 percent of the time sounds statistically unreasonable, but that one case changed 100 percent of my life. I used to have two parents, but now I have one, and the ‘S’ in ‘parents’ isn’t going anywhere.” “‘S’ follows me,” she continued. “I can’t get through a day without being reminded that while my friends went out to dinner with their parents, I ate with my parent. As I write this essay, there is a blue line under the word ‘parent’ telling me to check my grammar; even Grammarly assumes that I should have parents, but cancer doesn’t listen to edit suggestions.” She went on to explain that she fled that dreaded letter by throwing herself into school activities. She joined clubs, sports, and performed in theatrical productions, all in an effort to lessen the pain of losing her mom. Eventually, she realized she was hiding from her pain and decided to face it head-on. She took over the “S” for her own purposes. Now, instead of thinking about the “S” in parents, she concentrates on the double “S” in passion. Abigail’s essay earned her a spot at several top colleges and she has officially been accepted into the class of 2025 in Harvard. In the meantime, her essay has gone viral (走红) with over 16 million views! 4. What did the letter “S” mean to Abigail Mack? A. A terrible failure. B. An unfortunate fact. C. A special challenge. D. A meaningful experience. 5. What can we infer from paragraph 4 about Abigail Mack? A. She isn’t good at spelling. B. She has poor grammar. C. She has been struggling with cancer. D. She has lost one of her parents. 6. How did Abigail Mack deal with her situation? A. By writing more and more essays. B. By reading all kinds of books. C. By participating in various activities. D. By competing with others secretly. 7. What would be the best title for the text? A. Teen’s Special Feeling for the Letter “S” B. Teen’s Essay Won Great Popularity Online C. Teen’s Secret to Achieving Academic Success D. Teen Got Admitted to Harvard for Her Essay C Do you believe that most people are greedy or generous? It is easy to come up with examples of stories that could support either conclusion if we are relying on our memories or on our guts (直觉). Recently, a team of researchers sought to investigate this question in partnership with the TED organization. TED generously gave away $10,000 each to 200 lucky individuals (yes, you read that correctly), which essentially means these participants won a lottery. Besides, they were asked to spend all the money in three months rather than save it). These participants were from three low-income countries (Indonesia, Brazil, Kenya) and four high-income countries (Australia, Canada, UK, USA). Over the next three months, participants were asked to track their spending to examine how generously or selfishly this money was spent. They reported their spending to the researchers a few months later. Of the $10000 participants received, they spent $6,431 on other people. To be clear, this also included certain behaviors in which the participants themselves benefited personally (such as taking their friends out to dinner or paying for a family vacation). But still, people are very generous. Participants gave away $1,697 strictly to charity or nonprofit organizations. The researchers expected that if people publicly shared how they spent their money, they would be more generous. To check if this was correct, they asked half of the participants to post on Twitter about how they spent the money. The other half were asked to keep their spending “private”. Surprisingly, the researchers saw that “generous spending was similar” between Twitter and private groups. The mini lottery winners were no more or less generous depending on whether they posted their spending on Twitter or kept it to themselves. The authors admitted they expected the Twitter group to spend more generously, but this prediction was not supported by the data. People did not need to have their spending shown publicly to behave generously. 8. What’s the purpose of the researchers? A. To confirm a scientific theory. B. To research into human nature. C. To analyze people’s economic behaviour. D. To classify people’s spending habits. 9. What do we know about the study conducted by the team? A. It was divided into two stages. B. It focused on low-income people. C. The participants were required to report their spending. D. The participants could spend the money without restriction. 10. What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 4 refer to? A. People’s sharing how they spent. B. People’s keeping their spending private. C. People’s spending habits in private. D. People’s being more generous in public. 11. What does the author intend to tell us? A. Humans are fundamentally generous. B. Money that is easily got will be spent soon. C. Sharing spending online makes people generous. D. People prefer to keep their spending to themselves. D Climate change causes tens of billions of dollars in economic damage in the United States every year. Climate change is expensive, deadly but preventable, according to the new National Climate Assessment, the most sweeping, sophisticated federal analysis of climate change compiled to date. “Climate change affects us all, but it doesn’t affect us all equally,” says climate scientist Katharine Hayhoe, one of the authors of the assessment. “The research indicates that people with lower income have more trouble adapting to climate change, because adaptation comes at a cost,” says Solomon Hsiang, a climate economist at the University of California. For example, one of the simplest ways to adapt to severe heat waves is to run your air conditioner more. But “if people can’t pay for it, then they can’t protect themselves,” explains Hsiang. Weather-related disasters in the U. S. cause about $150 billion each year in direct losses, according to the report. That’s a lot of money and it’s only expected to go up as the Earth gets hotter. And the hotter it gets, the more profound the economic harm. Twice as much planetary warming leads to more than twice as much economic harm, the assessment warns. But it also points out many successful efforts underway to adapt to the new reality and to prevent worse outcomes. “It’s not the message that if we don’t hit 1.5 degrees, we’re all going to die,” says Hayhoe. “It’s the message that everything we do matters. Every 10th of a degree of warming we avoid, there’s a benefit to that.” There’s been a slight shift in the report’s perspective since the last one, says Candis Callison, a sociologist and author of the report. There’s now a clear acknowledgement, development, developed through years of rigorous research, that the fossil fuel-powered society the U. S. built over generations was profoundly unjust. “Climate change actually provides us with an opportunity to address some of those inequities (不公平) and injustices — and to respond to these impacts,” Callison says. “That’s really a powerful thing.” 12. What do Katharine Hayhoe and Solomon Hsiang stress about climate change? A. It results in lower income. B. It leads to new unfairness. C. It needs immediate action. D. It causes economic damage. 13. What does the author intend to show by giving the example of the air conditioner? A. Heat waves can be easily defeated. B. Climate change leads to serious heat. C. Adapting to climate change is time-consuming. D. Dealing with climate change is expensive. 14. What does Katharine Hayhoe focus on in paragraph 6? A. The potential risks of the new reality. B. The consequences of not hitting 1.5 degrees. C. The value of each small effort underway. D. The achievements we have made. 15. What is Candis Callison’s attitude towards climate change? A. Optimistic. B. Doubtful. C. Worried. D. Uncaring. 第二节(共5 小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Gratitude, which is a positive emotional state, can have a profound impact on our mental, emotional, and physical well-being. Gratitude offers us a way of embracing (拥抱) all that makes our lives what they are. ____16____ It includes the willingness to expand our attention so that we perceive more of the goodness we are always receiving. Robert Emmons is one of the world’s leading experts on the science of gratitude. ____17____ The first is an affirmation of goodness: People can learn to wake up to the good around them and notice the gifts they have received. The second part of gratitude is recognizing that the source of this goodness rests outside of oneself — we receive these gifts from other people, and sometimes from fate, or the natural world. ____18____ In one study involving nearly 300 adults seeking counseling services at a university, one group wrote a gratitude letter each week for three weeks. The gratitude group reported significantly better mental health (compared to the control group), 12 weeks after the last writing exercise. ____19____ A study of this practice found that people who wrote down three things that had gone well in their day and identified the causes of those good things were significantly happier and less depressed. ____20____ When you practice gratitude, you shift your thoughts away from negative emotions and uncomfortable sensations. Instead, you begin to focus on good things that you may have overlooked. Rather than focusing on the misfortune of having a flat tire, for example, you consider how your job has made it possible to pay for repairs. Or you shift your focus to how fortunate you are to have close friends who are willing to drive you home. A. He defines gratitude as having two parts. B. A little gratitude can do wonders for your mood. C. Gratitude isn’t just a happy feeling for our present lives. D. However, many people don’t realize the power of gratitude. E. Another type of written gratitude practice is counting blessings. F. Gratitude doesn’t necessarily mean showing appreciation for the things that are around you. G. In other words, gratitude helps realize they wouldn’t be where they are without the help of others. 第三部分 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 I was sitting in the doctor’s office waiting for my annual check-up.

You just have to be persistent (坚持不懈的).” Even though I wasn’t college material, what the doctor said ____28____ me. Three years later, I ____29____ to a college close to my home and soon found myself walking the campus as a new student. I began ____30____ anything that seemed frightening.

Professor James walked into the classroom and announced that he had invited a special guest to class, but his guest had been delayed. “Who’s coming?” someone asked. “Alex Haley, who is the author of one of the books you have read for this class,” he said. “I need a volunteer to meet him in the lobby of the administration building and accompany him here.” To my amazement, my right hand shot up as though it had a mind of its own. What was I doing? I wondered. I never volunteered for anything. “Thank you, David,” Professor James said. “You’d better leave now. He’ll be arriving any minute.” As I walked across campus, my anxiety grew as the massive administration building appeared ahead. I feared that I was about to embarrass myself in front of this famous gentleman by asking stupid questions. I reached the front steps and climbed them slowly. As I pulled open the heavy glass door, I realized why I instinctively raised my hand to volunteer for this job. This man was what I wanted to be: a writer. He was living my dream. I could learn from him. I paced back and forth across the polished lobby floor until a black man with a briefcase entered the building. He stopped and scanned the lobby. His gaze fell on me. I approached him and confirmed he was Mr. Haley. We shook hands and then began our walk across campus. I was struck by how approachable this man was. My fear was replaced by curiosity and purpose. “Do you mind if I ask you a question?” I said. “No. Not at all,” he said. “I’d like to become a writer, but I don’t know if I have the talent,” I said. “How did you discover that you had a gift for writing?” 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。 Mr. Haley laughed and said, “I didn’t. And I don’t.” ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After communicating with Alex Haley, I no longer cared whether I had the “gift”. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力答案：1—5 ABABC 6—10 CCBBA 11—15 CBCCA 16—20 ABCBA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 绝密★启用前 焦作市普通高中2023—2024学年(下)高二年级期中考试 英语 考生注意： 1.答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号填写在试卷和答题卡上，并将考生号条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡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) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有2分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 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。 例:How much is the shirt?

The prestigious college announced their lowest acceptance rate ever, welcoming only 1,968 of 57,435 first-year applicants into their hallowed halls. Thanks to Abigail Mack’s moving, insightful essay, she will be one of the lucky students to matriculate this fall. The Massachusetts high school senior used TikTok to share a part of the essay that made her one of the 4 percent of applicants who made the cut. Her essay focused on an unusual theme: the letter “S.” “I hate the letter ‘S’,” she read aloud on TikTok. “Of the 164,777 words with ‘S’, I only struggle with one. To condemn an entire letter because of its use 0.0006 percent of the time sounds statistically unreasonable, but that one case changed 100 percent of my life. I used to have two parents, but now I have one, and the ‘S’ in ‘parents’ isn’t going anywhere.” “‘S’ follows me,” she continued. “I can’t get through a day without being reminded that while my friends went out to dinner with their parents, I ate with my parent. As I write this essay, there is a blue line under the word ‘parent’ telling me to check my grammar; even Grammarly assumes that I should have parents, but cancer doesn’t listen to edit suggestions.” She went on to explain that she fled that dreaded letter by throwing herself into school activities. She joined clubs, sports, and performed in theatrical productions, all in an effort to lessen the pain of losing her mom. Eventually, she realized she was hiding from her pain and decided to face it head-on. She took over the “S” for her own purposes. Now, instead of thinking about the “S” in parents, she concentrates on the double “S” in passion. Abigail’s essay earned her a spot at several top colleges and she has officially been accepted into the class of 2025 in Harvard. In the meantime, her essay has gone viral (走红) with over 16 million views! 4. What did the letter “S” mean to Abigail Mack? A. A terrible failure. B. An unfortunate fact. C. A special challenge. D. A meaningful experience. 5. What can we infer from paragraph 4 about Abigail Mack? A. She isn’t good at spelling. B. She has poor grammar. C. She has been struggling with cancer. D. She has lost one of her parents. 6. How did Abigail Mack deal with her situation? A. By writing more and more essays. B. By reading all kinds of books. C. By participating in various activities. D. By competing with others secretly. 7. What would be the best title for the text? A. Teen’s Special Feeling for the Letter “S” B. Teen’s Essay Won Great Popularity Online C. Teen’s Secret to Achieving Academic Success D. Teen Got Admitted to Harvard for Her Essay 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了高中毕业生Abigail Mack如何通过一篇关于字母“S”的深情且富有洞察力的申请文章被哈佛大学录取的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“I used to have two parents, but now I have one, and the ‘S’ in ‘parents’ isn’t going anywhere.(我曾有两个父母，但现在只有一个，而在‘parents’这个词中的S是不会消失的)”可知，字母S对她来说是一个不幸的事实，代表了她失去母亲这一痛苦经历。故选B项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“I can’t get through a day without being reminded that while my friends went out to dinner with their parents, I ate with my parent. As I write this essay, there is a blue line under the word ‘parent’ telling me to check my grammar; even Grammarly assumes that I should have parents, but cancer doesn’t listen to edit suggestions.(我每天都会被提醒，当我的朋友和他们的父母出去吃饭时，我和父/母一起吃饭。当我写这篇文章时，“parent”一词下面有一条蓝线，告诉我检查语法；甚至Grammarly也认为我应该有父母，但癌症却不听编辑的建议)”可知，她被提醒与朋友们的不同，即与单亲一起生活，以及Grammarly纠正语法时默认她应该有双亲，这暗示了她失去了一个家长。故选D项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第五段“She went on to explain that she fled that dreaded letter by throwing herself into school activities. She joined clubs, sports, and performed in theatrical productions, all in an effort to lessen the pain of losing her mom.(她接着解释说，她全身心地投入到学校活动中，逃离了那封可怕的字母。她加入了俱乐部、体育运动，并在戏剧作品中表演，所有这些都是为了减轻失去母亲的痛苦)”可知，Abigail Mack通过参与各种活动来应对她的处境。故选C项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全篇，文章围绕着Abigail Mack如何通过一篇关于字母“S”的深刻而感人的申请文书获得哈佛大学录取这一核心事件展开，D项“青少年因论文被哈佛大学录取”适合作为文章的标题。故选D项。 C Do you believe that most people are greedy or generous? It is easy to come up with examples of stories that could support either conclusion if we are relying on our memories or on our guts (直觉). Recently, a team of researchers sought to investigate this question in partnership with the TED organization. TED generously gave away $10,000 each to 200 lucky individuals (yes, you read that correctly), which essentially means these participants won a lottery. Besides, they were asked to spend all the money in three months rather than save it). These participants were from three low-income countries (Indonesia, Brazil, Kenya) and four high-income countries (Australia, Canada, UK, USA). Over the next three months, participants were asked to track their spending to examine how generously or selfishly this money was spent. They reported their spending to the researchers a few months later. Of the $10,000 participants received, they spent $6,431 on other people. To be clear, this also included certain behaviors in which the participants themselves benefited personally (such as taking their friends out to dinner or paying for a family vacation). But still, people are very generous. Participants gave away $1,697 strictly to charity or nonprofit organizations. The researchers expected that if people publicly shared how they spent their money, they would be more generous. To check if this was correct, they asked half of the participants to post on Twitter about how they spent the money. The other half were asked to keep their spending “private”. Surprisingly, the researchers saw that “generous spending was similar” between Twitter and private groups. The mini lottery winners were no more or less generous depending on whether they posted their spending on Twitter or kept it to themselves. The authors admitted they expected the Twitter group to spend more generously, but this prediction was not supported by the data. People did not need to have their spending shown publicly to behave generously. 8. What’s the purpose of the researchers? A. To confirm a scientific theory. B. To research into human nature. C. To analyze people’s economic behaviour. D. To classify people’s spending habits. 9. What do we know about the study conducted by the team? A. It was divided into two stages. B. It focused on low-income people. C. The participants were required to report their spending. D. The participants could spend the money without restriction. 10. What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 4 refer to? A. People’s sharing how they spent. B. People’s keeping their spending private. C. People’s spending habits in private. D. People’s being more generous in public. 11. What does the author intend to tell us? A. Humans are fundamentally generous. B. Money that is easily got will be spent soon. C. Sharing spending online makes people generous. D. People prefer to keep their spending to themselves. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了研究人员通过研究发现人类的本质是慷慨的，解释了研究开展的经过以及发现。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Do you believe that most people are greedy or generous? It is easy to come up with examples of stories that could support either conclusion if we are relying on our memories or on our guts (直觉).(你认为大多数人是贪婪的还是慷慨的？如果我们依靠自己的记忆或直觉，很容易想出支持这两种结论的故事例子)”以及第二段“Recently, a team of researchers sought to investigate this question in partnership with the TED organization. (最近，一组研究人员试图与TED组织合作调查这个问题)”可知，研究人员的目的是研究人性。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Over the next three months, participants were asked to track their spending to examine how generously or selfishly this money was spent. They reported their spending to the researchers a few months later.(在接下来的三个月里，参与者被要求跟踪他们的支出，以检查他们花这些钱是慷慨还是自私。几个月后，他们向研究人员报告了自己的支出情况)”可知，参与者被要求报告他们的支出。故选C。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“The researchers expected that if people publicly shared how they spent their money, they would be more generous.(研究人员预计，如果人们公开分享他们是如何花钱的，他们会更慷慨)”以及后文“they asked half of the participants to post on Twitter about how they spent the money. The other half were asked to keep their spending “private””可知，研究人员为了验证“人们在公共场合变得更加慷慨”是否正确，他们要求一半的参与者在Twitter上发布他们是如何花钱的。另一半则被要求将自己的支出保密。故划线词指的是“人们在公共场合变得更加慷慨”。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Surprisingly, the researchers saw that “generous spending was similar” between Twitter and private groups. The mini lottery winners were no more or less generous depending on whether they posted their spending on Twitter or kept it to themselves. The authors admitted they expected the Twitter group to spend more generously, but this prediction was not supported by the data. People did not need to have their spending shown publicly to behave generously.(令人惊讶的是，研究人员发现推特和私人团体之间的“慷慨支出是相似的”。迷你彩票中奖者的慷慨程度并不取决于他们是在推特上公布了自己的支出，还是把钱留给自己。研究人员承认，他们预计推特用户会更慷慨地花钱，但这一预测并没有得到数据的支持。人们不需要公开展示自己的支出来表现得慷慨大方)”可知，作者想告诉我们人类本质上是慷慨的。故选A。 D Climate change causes tens of billions of dollars in economic damage in the United States every year. Climate change is expensive, deadly but preventable, according to the new National Climate Assessment, the most sweeping, sophisticated federal analysis of climate change compiled to date. “Climate change affects us all, but it doesn’t affect us all equally,” says climate scientist Katharine Hayhoe, one of the authors of the assessment. “The research indicates that people with lower income have more trouble adapting to climate change, because adaptation comes at a cost,” says Solomon Hsiang, a climate economist at the University of California. For example, one of the simplest ways to adapt to severe heat waves is to run your air conditioner more. But “if people can’t pay for it, then they can’t protect themselves,” explains Hsiang. Weather-related disasters in the U. S. cause about $150 billion each year in direct losses according to the report. That’s a lot of money and it’s only expected to go up as the Earth gets hotter. And the hotter it gets, the more profound the economic harm. Twice as much planetary warming leads to more than twice as much economic harm, the assessment warns. But it also points out many successful efforts underway to adapt to the new reality and to prevent worse outcomes. “It’s not the message that if we don’t hit 1.5 degrees, we’re all going to die,” says Hayhoe. “It’s the message that everything we do matters. Every 10th of a degree of warming we avoid, there’s a benefit to that.” There’s been a slight shift in the report’s perspective since the last one, says Candis Callison, a sociologist and author of the report. There’s now a clear acknowledgement, development, developed through years of rigorous research, that the fossil fuel-powered society the U. S. built over generations was profoundly unjust. “Climate change actually provides us with an opportunity to address some of those inequities (不公平) and injustices — and to respond to these impacts,” Callison says. “That’s really a powerful thing.” 12. What do Katharine Hayhoe and Solomon Hsiang stress about climate change? A. It results in lower income. B. It leads to new unfairness. C. It needs immediate action. D. It causes economic damage. 13 What does the author intend to show by giving the example of the air conditioner? A. Heat waves can be easily defeated. B. Climate change leads to serious heat. C. Adapting to climate change is time-consuming. D. Dealing with climate change is expensive. 14. What does Katharine Hayhoe focus on in paragraph 6? A. The potential risks of the new reality. B. The consequences of not hitting 1.5 degrees. C. The value of each small effort underway. D. The achievements we have made. 15. What is Candis Callison’s attitude towards climate change? A. Optimistic. B. Doubtful. C. Worried. D. Uncaring. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了气候变化每年给美国造成数百亿美元的经济损失，同时导致新的不公平。文章主要列举了研究人员对此的报告和看法。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段““Climate change affects us all, but it doesn’t affect us all equally,” says climate scientist Katharine Hayhoe, one of the authors of the assessment.(该评估报告的作者之一、气候科学家凯瑟琳·海霍说“气候变化影响着我们所有人，但它对我们所有人的影响并不平等。”)”以及第三段““The research indicates that people with lower income have more trouble adapting to climate change, because adaptation comes at a cost,” says Solomon Hsiang, a climate economist at the University of California.(加州大学气候经济学家所罗门·向表示：“研究表明，收入较低的人适应气候变化的困难更大，因为适应是有代价的。”)”可知，凯瑟琳·海霍和所罗门·向强调气候变化导致新的不公平。故选B。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“For example, one of the simplest ways to adapt to severe heat waves is to run your air conditioner more. But “if people can’t pay for it, then they can’t protect themselves,” explains Hsiang.(例如，适应严重热浪的最简单方法之一就是多开空调。但是“如果人们付不起钱，他们就无法保护自己，”Hsiang解释说)”可知，作者想通过举空调的例子来说明应对气候变化是昂贵的。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段“But it also points out many successful efforts underway to adapt to the new reality and to prevent worse outcomes. “It’s not the message that if we don’t hit 1.5 degrees, we’re all going to die,” says Hayhoe. “It’s the message that everything we do matters. Every 10th of a degree of warming we avoid, there’s a benefit to that.”(但报告也指出，为适应新的现实和防止更糟糕的结果，正在进行许多成功的努力。“这并不是说，如果我们不达到1.5度，我们都会死，”海霍说。“这是我们所做的一切都很重要的信息。我们每避免10度的变暖，这是有好处的。”)”可知，凯瑟琳·海霍重点集中在小的努力的价值上。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““Climate change actually provides us with an opportunity to address some of those inequities (不公平) and injustices—and to respond to these impacts,” Callison says. “That’s really a powerful thing.”(卡里森说：“气候变化实际上为我们提供了一个解决一些不平等和不公正的机会，并对这些影响做出反应。这真的是一件很强大的事情。”)”可知，坎迪斯·卡里森对气候变化的态度是乐观的。故选A。 第二节(共5 小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Gratitude, which is a positive emotional state, can have a profound impact on our mental, emotional, and physical well-being. Gratitude offers us a way of embracing (拥抱) all that makes our lives what they are. ____16____ It includes the willingness to expand our attention so that we perceive more of the goodness we are always receiving. Robert Emmons is one of the world’s leading experts on the science of gratitude. ____17____ The first is an affirmation of goodness: People can learn to wake up to the good around them and notice the gifts they have received. The second part of gratitude is recognizing that the source of this goodness rests outside of oneself — we receive these gifts from other people, and sometimes from fate, or the natural world. ____18____ In one study involving nearly 300 adults seeking counseling services at a university, one group wrote a gratitude letter each week for three weeks. The gratitude group reported significantly better mental health (compared to the control group), 12 weeks after the last writing exercise. ____19____ A study of this practice found that people who wrote down three things that had gone well in their day and identified the causes of those good things were significantly happier and less depressed. ____20____ When you practice gratitude, you shift your thoughts away from negative emotions and uncomfortable sensations. Instead, you begin to focus on good things that you may have overlooked. Rather than focusing on the misfortune of having a flat tire, for example, you consider how your job has made it possible to pay for repairs. Or you shift your focus to how fortunate you are to have close friends who are willing to drive you home. A. He defines gratitude as having two parts. B. A little gratitude can do wonders for your mood. C. Gratitude isn’t just a happy feeling for our present lives. D. However, many people don’t realize the power of gratitude. E. Another type of written gratitude practice is counting blessings. F. Gratitude doesn’t necessarily mean showing appreciation for the things that are around you. G. In other words, gratitude helps realize they wouldn’t be where they are without the help of others. 【答案】16. C 17. A 18. G 19. E 20. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要解释了什么是感恩以及感恩的积极作用。 16题详解】 根据上文“Gratitude offers us a way of embracing (拥抱) all that makes our lives what they are.(感恩为我们提供了一种拥抱生活的方式)”以及后文“It includes the willingness to expand our attention so that we perceive more of the goodness we are always receiving.(它包括愿意扩大我们的注意力，这样我们就能感受到更多我们一直在接受的美好)”可知，空处应补充说明感恩的含义和带来的感受。故C选项“感恩不仅仅是对我们现在生活的一种快乐的感觉”承上启下，符合语境，故选C。 【17题详解】 根据后文“The first is an affirmation of goodness: People can learn to wake up to the good around them and notice the gifts they have received. The second part of gratitude is recognizing that the source of this goodness rests outside of oneself—we receive these gifts from other people, and sometimes from fate, or the natural world.(首先是对善良的肯定：人们可以学会意识到身边的美好，注意到他们收到的礼物。感恩的第二部分是认识到这些美好的源泉并不在我们自己身上——我们从别人那里得到这些礼物，有时来自命运或自然世界)”可知，后文主要说明了感恩的两个部分，A选项中two parts对应后文的The first和The second。故A选项“他把感恩定义为两部分”引出下文，符合语境，故选A。 【18题详解】 根据上文“The second part of gratitude is recognizing that the source of this goodness rests outside of oneself—we receive these gifts from other people, and sometimes from fate, or the natural world.(感恩的第二部分是认识到这些美好的源泉并不在我们自己身上——我们从别人那里得到这些礼物，有时来自命运或自然世界)”可知，本句总结上文感恩的第二部分，上文提到美好的源泉并不在我们自己身上，即感恩他人。故G选项“换句话说，感恩让他们意识到，如果没有别人的帮助，他们就不会有今天的成就”承接上文，符合语境，故选G。 【19题详解】 根据后文“A study of this practice found that people who wrote down three things that had gone well in their day and identified the causes of those good things were significantly happier and less depressed.(一项关于这种做法的研究发现，那些写下一天中发生的三件好事并找出这些好事的原因的人会明显更快乐，更少抑郁)”可知，后文主要提到了通过计算好事的数量来练习感恩。故E选项“另一种书面感恩练习是计算祝福”引出下文，符合语境，故选E。 【20题详解】 根据本段内容“When you practice gratitude, you shift your thoughts away from negative emotions and uncomfortable sensations. Instead, you begin to focus on good things that you may have overlooked. Rather than focusing on the misfortune of having a flat tire, for example, you consider how your job has made it possible to pay for repairs. Or you shift your focus to how fortunate you are to have close friends who are willing to drive you home.(当你练习感恩时，你会把你的思想从负面情绪和不舒服的感觉中转移开。相反，你开始关注那些你可能忽略的美好事物。例如，你不会把注意力集中在轮胎漏气的不幸上，而是考虑你的工作是如何让你有可能支付维修费用的。或者你把注意力转移到你有多幸运，有愿意开车送你回家的好朋友)”可知，本段主要说明了感恩对心情的积极影响。故B选项“一点感激之情会对你的心情产生奇妙的影响”符合语境，故选B。 第三部分 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 I was sitting in the doctor’s office waiting for my annual check-up.

Professor James walked into the classroom and announced that he had invited a special guest to class, but his guest had been delayed. “Who’s coming?” someone asked. “Alex Haley, who is the author of one of the books you have read for this class,” he said. “I need a volunteer to meet him in the lobby of the administration building and accompany him here.” To my amazement, my right hand shot up as though it had a mind of its own. What was I doing? I wondered. I never volunteered for anything. “Thank you, David,” Professor James said. “You’d better leave now. He’ll be arriving any minute.” As I walked across campus, my anxiety grew as the massive administration building appeared ahead. I feared that I was about to embarrass myself in front of this famous gentleman by asking stupid questions. I reached the front steps and climbed them slowly. As I pulled open the heavy glass door, I realized why I instinctively raised my hand to volunteer for this job. This man was what I wanted to be: a writer. He was living my dream. I could learn from him. I paced back and forth across the polished lobby floor until a black man with a briefcase entered the building. He stopped and scanned the lobby. His gaze fell on me. I approached him and confirmed he was Mr. Haley. We shook hands and then began our walk across campus. I was struck by how approachable this man was. My fear was replaced by curiosity and purpose. “Do you mind if I ask you a question?” I said. “No. Not at all” he said. “I’d like to become a writer, but I don’t know if I have the talent,” I said. “How did you discover that you had a gift for writing?” 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。 Mr. Haley laughed and said, “I didn’t. And I don’t.” ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After communicating with Alex Haley, I no longer cared whether I had the “gift”. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Mr. Haley laughed and said, “I didn’t. And I don’t.” He stopped and gazed at me in the eyes. It seemed like he was no longer in a hurry to get to class and I was the only person who mattered. “Writing is a craft,” he said, “I learned to write through practice and sheer persistence.” He explained that when he was at high school, he wrote every day. As his writing skills improved, he eventually became a journalist. “If you want to become a writer,” he said, “don’t worry about whether you have some magical gift. Put in the work. Write every day, and don’t give up until you succeed.” After communicating with Alex Haley, I no longer cared whether I had the “gift”. Instead, I started a daily writing journey, just like Alex Haley in his high school. Over time, my efforts bore fruit, and within a span of two years, I had the privilege of publishing three stories in nationally renowned children’s magazines. Since then, I have continued to write and publish, finding fulfillment in my craft. Reflecting on this journey, I realize that had I not voluntarily chosen to meet this remarkable individual, I would have missed out on the invaluable wisdom he imparted and the subsequent rewards that followed. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在大学见到了自己喜爱的作家哈利先生，经过交谈之后，作者不再在意自己是否有写作天赋，而是坚持不懈地写作，最终努力取得了成就。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“哈利先生笑着说：‘我过去没有。并且我现在也没有。’”可知，第一段可描写哈利先生交流自己的写作技巧。 ②由第二段首句内容“和亚历克斯·哈利沟通后，我不再在意自己是否有“天赋”。”可知，第二段可描写作者从中得到感悟，开始坚持写作，并且取得了成就。 2.续写线索：哈利先生解释写作——哈利先生讲述写作技巧——作者得到启发——坚持写作——取得成就——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①重要：matter/count ②成功：succeed /make it ③继续：continue/go on 情绪类 ①满足：fulfillment/satisfaction ②无价：invaluable/priceless 【点睛】[高分句型1] He explained that when he was at high school, he wrote every day.
