At 80 years old, he was enjoying time in the North Texas community of Callisburg. It’s a small town, with a population of about 300 people. The local school district has two campuses, and supports over 1,100 students in the rural area. Although Gailey had no intention of returning to the workforce, he had no choice when his monthly rent was raised by $400. Since he couldn’t afford that cost, “Mr. James,” as the students call him, went back to the local school and restarted working as a school janitor. Three students decided that they could do something about this situation. Greyson Thurman, Banner Tidwell, and Marti Yusko created a GoFundMe web page and shared his story on TikTok. “No 80-year-old should have to work because they have to,” said Tidwell, “It should be because they want to do it. It bothered us that he had to have a place to work to keep his house.” When the students started the campaign, their goal was to get Mr. James some extra money to help with his rent issues. The page was disabled only two weeks later, raising an impressive $270,000. “It’s amazing,” said Jason Hooper, the principal of Callisburg High School. “The need was met because of three kind kids—of all our students who offered help.” Many of the donations to the GoFundMe page are from students and staff at Callisburg, with most of them only $5 or $10 each. “It is crazy to see something like that. We knew people would have wanted to help,” said Yusko, “We didn’t know it would blow up.” At the time of researching and writing this story, Mr. James said that he was ready to return to retirement. “It’s what we’re about,” Hooper said, “We’re a small town. We’re family. We don’t always agree, but we love and help our own.” 24. James Gailey returned to work mainly because of ________. A. his difficulty in paying his rent B. his boredom of the retiring life C. his desire to continue his career D. his ambition to improve himself 25. What did the three kids do for James Gailey? A. Finding him a job at campus B. Giving him support for work. C. Raising money on the website. D. Turning to the school principle. 26. How did Yusko feel after the campaign ? A. Doubtful. B. Astonished. C. Regretful. D. Confused. 27. What can we learn from the story? A. It’s never too late to learn. B. A good turn deserves another. C. Chance favors the prepared mind. D. A small act can make a difference. C Kim found the prospect of learning a new language discouraging, especially as an adult. She saw spending dozens or hours a year on lessons with only slow progress on a new skill as out of reach. This was undoubtedly now Kim felt about her decades’ long ambition to learn Spanish. That all changed, however, when a popular language-learning app presented a more attractive approach: complete one lesson—just six or seven minutes long—every day in order to eventually become bilingual (双语的). This adds up to about 40 hours of study each year, but it is presented as a bite-size daily goal. Actually, this can be applied to almost any ambitious target. But how effective is it? For our study, we partnered with CTL, a nonprofit organization that provides free crisis consultation. All CTL volunteers are asked to complete 200 hours of crisis consultation within a year. We were curious if breaking down this goal could make it more approachable and increase actual working hours. We randomly assigned more than 9,000 CTL volunteers to receive e-mails for three months. One group was encouraged to hit the 200-hour mark with no actual goal breakdown. Two other groups, however, were given clear subgoals: we encouraged one to volunteer for four hours every week and the other to volunteer for eight hours every two weeks. Then we tracked how much time each group spent volunteering during our study. Both groups who were encouraged to focus on a smaller subgoal volunteered 7 to 8 percent more than their peers who were merely encouraged to hit their big goal. We also found suggestive evidence that the more flexible “eight hours every two weeks” framing led to more lasting benefits over time. Although volunteering declined each week during the study across all participants, this decline was slower in the “eight hours every two weeks” condition. It suggests that making modest goals flexible might encourage long-term perseverance. If so, after one year, becoming bilingual is at last within reach for Kim. 28. The author mentions Kim in the first paragraph mainly to ________. A. make a prediction B. introduce a topic C. present an assumption D. evaluate an argument 29. Why did the author and his team cooperate with CLT? A. To calculate the profits of the organization. B. To increase the actual hours of voluntary work. C. To evaluate the effectiveness of a goal-setting strategy. D. To improve the working skills of volunteers in consultation. 30. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. Analysis of the study. B. Process of the study. C. Findings of the study. D. Significance of the study. 31. What does the author intend to tell us? A Making a fixed goal helps longer perseverance. B. Setting a bigger goal drives people to achieve more. C. Sticking to an ambitious goal contributes to success. D. Breaking down a bigger goal leads to better results. D Our planet has just seen its hottest month on record, with many places on fire or flooded. The likelihood of extreme weather keeps increasing—and people are noticing. However, not everyone notices or feels this threat to the same extent. Based on a representative sample of 1,071 survey respondents from across the UK, we found that people in rural areas showed higher degrees of place attachment than people living in cities, as we expected. However, we were surprised to see that the perceived threat of climate change in: most rural locations was lower. We had not expected that outcome, so we started to dig a little deeper for possible reasons. Rural people may be more resilient to change. Rural people may experience climate change like everyone else, but they may have better ways of coping with it than city residents because of their closer relationship with nature. This may have taught them to be more flexible in how they deal with change. After all, nature changes a lot and that could make them less worried about the major changes happening around them. People in rural areas may not be as aware of climate change as people in cities. Looking more closely, the effect is mostly down to education rather than whether people live in rural areas or not. Research shows that general levels of climate awareness in the UK are quite high. But this does not necessarily correspond to readiness for action or behavioural change. It is well documented, though, that rural inhabitants tend to have more conservative views, which could affect the way climate change is interpreted. Conservative views are often associated with less concern about the climate. People in rural areas may not experience climate change in the same wav as people in cities. This is because rural areas have higher levels of green space than urban areas. For example, you will feel the heat less when you are surrounded by trees. So although we were surprised that the higher degree of place attachment in people living rurally did not necessarily lead to a higher perception of climate change threat, we can see there are good reasons for that. 32. What does the word “resilient” underlined in Paragraph 3 most probably mean? A. Easy to adapt. B. Ready to illustrate. C. Difficult to notice. D. Willing to challenge. 33 What can we learn from the passage? A. Conservative views in rural areas lower the perception of climate change. B. Strong rural place attachment results in higher climate change awareness. C. Well-educated people are more likely to take actions for climate change. D Rural people pay more attention to climate change than city residents. 34. Which would be the best title for the passage? A. Who are to blame for climate change? B. How do people perceive climate change? C. Why is climate change perceived differently? D. What can people do to cope with climate change? 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，共10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。 As we carefully select our outfits each day, we may not always realize the influence our clothing choices have on our mood, behavior, and even how others understand us. ___35___ Studies have shown that dressing well can significantly affect how we feel about ourselves and our abilities. When we wear outfits that make us feel confident and comfortable, we are more likely to make a positive impression on others. Our clothing choices are like a personal canvas (画布). ___36___ Whether it’s a vintage-inspired dress or a bold graphic tee, our clothes become a reflection of who we are. Fashion is a powerful tool that helps us communicate with the world and form connections with like-minded individuals. Have you ever noticed how wearing a particular outfit can change your mood? ___37___ For instance, bright colors and cheerful patterns can uplift our spirits and bring a sense of happiness. ___38___ The link between colors and emotions plays a vital role in shaping our outlook on the day. Clothes we wear can also influence our behavior and cognitive processes. For example wearing formal business suit might signal the brain that it’s time to focus and be productive, while more relaxed clothing might encourage a more casual approach. ___39___ So, the next time you dress up, remember the huge influence your outfit can have, and embrace the opportunity to express yourself through the art of fashion. A. Clothing can give rise to various emotional responses. B. Correct clothes conveys that you are interested in the job. C. On the other hand, wearing darker might create a feeling of seriousness. D. Thus, the right outfit can give us confidence needed to conquer the day ahead. E. It allows us to express our beliefs, interests, and emotions without saying a single word. F. Choosing the right for specific occasions can, therefore, enhance our performance and efficiency. G. The phrase “dress for success” holds true when it comes to the impact of clothes on self-confidence. 第三部分 书面表达(共两节，32分) 第一节(共4小题;第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分) 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。 The legendary horror author H. P. Lovecraft wrote that “the oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown.” Uncertainty causes people to see threats everywhere they look, and at the same time it makes them likely to react emotionally. Even minor periods of unpredictability can cause significant negative effects. Research on traffic jam, for example, has found that the lack of control drivers feel sends stress and anger levels through the roof. Uncertain bus, train, and plane delays are also major sources of uncertainty-triggered distress. One study found that giving people up-to-the-minute wait times was an effective way to limit anxiety and frustration. Even if the wait for a bus turned out to be long, removing the element of uncertainty made commuters feel better. Different people respond to uncertainty in different ways. Unfortunately, many are unhelpful coping strategies. People who struggle with uncertainty often respond to it by worrying. They also tend to think that worrying will somehow help them prepare for what’s to come. This is false. The more people engage in worrying, the less they feel confident in their ability to solve a problem and the worse their solutions tend to be. Trying to seek out new and helpful information can also backfire. BMC Public Health found that people can only process and make sense of a limited information, and that consuming too much new information can lead to confusion and increased uncertainty. Still, how to remove the effects of uncertainty is food for thought. 40. According to H. P. Lovecraft, what is the oldest and strongest fear? __________________________________________________________ 41. Why can up-to-the-minute wait times limit anxiety? __________________________________________________________ 42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. ▶People who worry more will feel less confident in problem-solving, while their solutions tend to be better. __________________________________________________________ 43. What uncertainty worries you most and how do you deal with it?

When they see other students doing better than them, they usually believe that those students have a ___12___ (high) IQ and that there is nothing they can do to change their situation. However, new research into EQ suggests that success is not ___13___ (simple) the result of a high IQ. 【答案】11. what 12. higher 13. simply 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过讨论IQ测试在学生生活中的常见现象，引出关于EQ（情商）的新研究，并指出成功不仅仅取决于智商。 【11题详解】 考查表语从句。句意：即使他们从未看到自己的结果，他们也觉得自己的智商决定了他们在生活中会做得多好。本空引导表语从句，从句中缺少主语，且指物，用what引导。故填what。 【12题详解】 考查形容词比较级。句意：当他们看到其他学生比他们做得更好时，他们通常认为那些学生有更高的智商，而他们对此无能为力。根据句中“When they see other students doing better than them”可知，设空处应填high的比较级higher“更高的”，作前置定语，修饰IQ。故填higher。 【13题详解】 考查副词。句意：然而，对情商的新研究表明，成功不仅仅是高智商的结果。本空应填simple的副词形式simply表示“仅仅，只不过”，作状语。故填simply。 B 阅读下列短文，根据短文内容填空。在未给提示词的空白处仅填写1个恰当的单词，在给出提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。 ___14___ (face) with the problems of environment pollution and overdevelopment, people have set up some national parks ___15___ (protect) both natural features and wildlife. A good example of this is the Sanjiangyuan National Park in the south of Qinghai Province. It is home to many species of plants, along with rare animals. In most areas of the reserve, any permitted development ___16___ (monitor) closely. 【答案】14. Faced 15. to protect 16. is monitored 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。面对环境污染和过度开发问题，人们设立了国家公园保护自然和野生动物，三江源国家公园是一个很好的例子，在其中任何允许的开发都受到严密监控。 【14题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：面对环境污染和过度开发问题的出现，人们建立了一些国家公园来保护自然景观和野生动物。分析句子可知，句中存在谓语动词have set up，因此这里使用非谓语动词，且be faced with是固定短语，逻辑主语people与face with之间是被动关系，因此使用过去分词作伴随状语，谓语句首首字母需大写。故填Faced。 【15题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：面对环境污染和过度开发问题的出现，人们建立了一些国家公园来保护自然景观和野生动物。分析句子可知，句中存在谓语动词have set up，因此这里使用非谓语动词，且表示目的性，意为“建立了一些国家公园来保护自然景观和野生动物”，因此使用动词不定式做目的状语。故填to protect。 【16题详解】 考查动词时态、语态和主谓一致。句意：在保护区的大部分地区，任何允许的开发都受到严密监控。根据前句可知，本句使用一般现在时，且主语是any permitted development为单数形式，且与monitor之间是被动关系，因此使用被动语态。故填is monitored。 C 阅读下列短文，根据短文内容填空。在未给提示词的空白处仅填写1个恰当的单词，在给出提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。 Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the ___17___ (day) until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, “better” places.

At 80 years old, he was enjoying time in the North Texas community of Callisburg. It’s a small town, with a population of about 300 people. The local school district has two campuses, and supports over 1,100 students in the rural area. Although Gailey had no intention of returning to the workforce, he had no choice when his monthly rent was raised by $400. Since he couldn’t afford that cost, “Mr. James,” as the students call him, went back to the local school and restarted working as a school janitor. Three students decided that they could do something about this situation. Greyson Thurman, Banner Tidwell, and Marti Yusko created a GoFundMe web page and shared his story on TikTok. “No 80-year-old should have to work because they have to,” said Tidwell, “It should be because they want to do it. It bothered us that he had to have a place to work to keep his house.” When the students started the campaign, their goal was to get Mr. James some extra money to help with his rent issues. The page was disabled only two weeks later, raising an impressive $270,000. “It’s amazing,” said Jason Hooper, the principal of Callisburg High School. “The need was met because of three kind kids—of all our students who offered help.” Many of the donations to the GoFundMe page are from students and staff at Callisburg, with most of them only $5 or $10 each. “It is crazy to see something like that. We knew people would have wanted to help,” said Yusko, “We didn’t know it would blow up.” At the time of researching and writing this story, Mr. James said that he was ready to return to retirement. “It’s what we’re about,” Hooper said, “We’re a small town. We’re family. We don’t always agree, but we love and help our own.” 24. James Gailey returned to work mainly because of ________. A. his difficulty in paying his rent B. his boredom of the retiring life C. his desire to continue his career D. his ambition to improve himself 25. What did the three kids do for James Gailey? A. Finding him a job at campus B. Giving him support for work. C. Raising money on the website. D. Turning to the school principle. 26. How did Yusko feel after the campaign ? A. Doubtful. B. Astonished. C. Regretful. D. Confused. 27. What can we learn from the story? A. It’s never too late to learn. B. A good turn deserves another. C. Chance favors the prepared mind. D. A small act can make a difference. 【答案】24. A 25. C 26. B 27. D 【解析】 【导语】文章的体裁为记叙文。通过讲述老人詹姆斯·盖利因无法支付房租而不得不重返工作岗位的故事，揭示了三名学生发起的筹款活动给他带来的帮助以及小善举所能带来的影响。文章通过这一真实事件展现了爱与帮助的力量，强调了小事可以产生积极的影响。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Although Gailey had no intention of returning to the workforce, he had no choice when his monthly rent was raised by $400. Since he couldn’t afford that cost, “Mr. James,” as the students call him, went back to the local school and restarted working as a school janitor. (尽管盖利没有打算重新投入工作，但当他的每月房租涨价了400美元时，他别无选择。因为他支付不起这笔费用，“詹姆斯先生”就回到当地学校重新开始做学校清洁工。)”可知，他的月租金提高了400美元，他无法承担。因为他无法支付房租，别无选择，盖利重返工作。故选A项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Greyson Thurman, Banner Tidwell, and Marti Yusko created a GoFundMe web page and shared his story on TikTok. (格雷森·瑟曼、班纳·提德威尔和玛蒂·尤斯科创建了一个GoFundMe网页，并在TikTok上分享了他的故事。) ”和第四段“When the students started the campaign, their goal was to get Mr. James some extra money to help with his rent issues. (当学生开始这项运动时，他们的目标是为盖利筹集一些额外的钱以帮助解决他的租金问题。) ”表明格雷森·瑟曼、班纳·蒂德威尔和玛蒂·尤斯科创建了一个GoFundMe网页，并在TikTok上分享了他的故事，在网站上为詹姆斯·盖利筹集资金帮助解决他的房租问题。故选C项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“It is crazy to see something like that. We knew people would have wanted to help,” said Yusko, “We didn’t know it would blow up.” (“看到这样的事情真是太疯狂了。我们知道人们会想要帮助，”尤斯科说，“我们没想到会爆炸般的发展。”) ”表明募捐活动的效果超出预期，让尤斯科感到惊讶。故选B项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Mr. James said that he was ready to return to retirement. (詹姆斯先生表示他准备重新退休。)”表明三名学生发起筹款活动的小举动对詹姆斯先生的生活产生了重大影响，年迈的詹姆斯先生不需要工作了，可以过上退休生活。说明即使是小小的善举也能产生积极影响。故选D项。 C Kim found the prospect of learning a new language discouraging, especially as an adult. She saw spending dozens or hours a year on lessons with only slow progress on a new skill as out of reach. This was undoubtedly now Kim felt about her decades’ long ambition to learn Spanish. That all changed, however, when a popular language-learning app presented a more attractive approach: complete one lesson—just six or seven minutes long—every day in order to eventually become bilingual (双语的). This adds up to about 40 hours of study each year, but it is presented as a bite-size daily goal. Actually, this can be applied to almost any ambitious target. But how effective is it? For our study, we partnered with CTL, a nonprofit organization that provides free crisis consultation. All CTL volunteers are asked to complete 200 hours of crisis consultation within a year. We were curious if breaking down this goal could make it more approachable and increase actual working hours. We randomly assigned more than 9,000 CTL volunteers to receive e-mails for three months. One group was encouraged to hit the 200-hour mark with no actual goal breakdown. Two other groups, however, were given clear subgoals: we encouraged one to volunteer for four hours every week and the other to volunteer for eight hours every two weeks. Then we tracked how much time each group spent volunteering during our study. Both groups who were encouraged to focus on a smaller subgoal volunteered 7 to 8 percent more than their peers who were merely encouraged to hit their big goal. We also found suggestive evidence that the more flexible “eight hours every two weeks” framing led to more lasting benefits over time. Although volunteering declined each week during the study across all participants, this decline was slower in the “eight hours every two weeks” condition. It suggests that making modest goals flexible might encourage long-term perseverance. If so, after one year, becoming bilingual is at last within reach for Kim. 28. The author mentions Kim in the first paragraph mainly to ________. A. make a prediction B. introduce a topic C. present an assumption D. evaluate an argument 29. Why did the author and his team cooperate with CLT? A. To calculate the profits of the organization. B. To increase the actual hours of voluntary work. C. To evaluate the effectiveness of a goal-setting strategy. D. To improve the working skills of volunteers in consultation. 30. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. Analysis of the study. B. Process of the study. C. Findings of the study. D. Significance of the study. 31. What does the author intend to tell us? A. Making a fixed goal helps longer perseverance. B. Setting a bigger goal drives people to achieve more. C. Sticking to an ambitious goal contributes to success. D. Breaking down a bigger goal leads to better results. 【答案】28. B 29. C 30. B 31. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了一个流行的语言学习应用程序通过把学习目标分解成小目标，来完成最后的学习任务。研究表明，将适度的目标变得灵活可能会鼓励长期的毅力。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Kim found the prospect of learning a new language discouraging, especially as an adult. She saw spending dozens or hours a year on lessons with only slow progress on a new skill as out of reach. This was undoubtedly now Kim felt about her decades’ long ambition to learn Spanish. That all changed, however, when a popular language-learning app presented a more attractive approach: complete one lesson—just six or seven minutes long—every day in order to eventually become bilingual (双语的).( Kim发现学习一门新语言的前景令人沮丧，尤其是作为一个成年人。她认为，一年花几十个或几个小时上一门新技能的课，而在这门新技能上只有缓慢的进步是遥不可及的。这无疑是金现在对她几十年来学习西班牙语的夙愿的感受。然而，这一切都改变了，当一个流行的语言学习应用程序提出了一个更有吸引力的方法：为了最终成为双语，每天完成一节课——只要六到七分钟)”可知，作者在第一段提到Kim主要是为了引入话题。故选B。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“For our study, we partnered with CTL, a nonprofit organization that provides free crisis consultation. All CTL volunteers are asked to complete 200 hours of crisis consultation within a year. We were curious if breaking down this goal could make it more approachable and increase actual working hours.(在我们的研究中，我们与CTL合作，这是一个提供免费危机咨询的非营利组织。所有CTL志愿者都被要求在一年内完成200小时的危机咨询。我们很好奇，打破这个目标是否能让它更容易实现，并增加实际工作时间)”可知，作者和他的团队与CLT合作是为了评估目标设定策略的有效性。故选C。 【30题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“We randomly assigned more than 9,000 CTL volunteers to receive e-mails for three months. One group was encouraged to hit the 200-hour mark with no actual goal breakdown. Two other groups, however, were given clear subgoals: we encouraged one to volunteer for four hours every week and the other to volunteer for eight hours every two weeks. Then we tracked how much time each group spent volunteering during our study.(我们随机分配了9000多名CTL志愿者，在三个月内接收电子邮件。其中一组被鼓励在没有实际目标分解的情况下达到200小时的目标。然而，另外两组被赋予了明确的子目标：我们鼓励一组每周做4小时的志愿者，另一组每两周做8小时的志愿者。然后我们追踪了每一组在研究期间做志愿者的时间)”可知，第三段的主要内容是研究过程。故选B。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Both groups who were encouraged to focus on a smaller subgoal volunteered 7 to 8 percent more than their peers who were merely encouraged to hit their big goal. We also found suggestive evidence that the more flexible “eight hours every two weeks” framing led to more lasting benefits over time. Although volunteering declined each week during the study across all participants, this decline was slower in the “eight hours every two weeks” condition. It suggests that making modest goals flexible might encourage long-term perseverance.(两组被鼓励专注于小目标的志愿者比那些只被鼓励实现大目标的同龄人多出7%到8%。我们还发现，随着时间的推移，更灵活的“每两周八小时”框架能带来更持久的好处。尽管在研究期间，所有参与者的志愿活动每周都在减少，但在“每两周8小时”的情况下，这种下降速度较慢。研究表明，将适度的目标变得灵活可能会鼓励长期的毅力)”可知，作者想告诉我们把更大的目标分解会带来更好的结果。故选D。 D Our planet has just seen its hottest month on record, with many places on fire or flooded. The likelihood of extreme weather keeps increasing—and people are noticing. However, not everyone notices or feels this threat to the same extent. Based on a representative sample of 1,071 survey respondents from across the UK, we found that people in rural areas showed higher degrees of place attachment than people living in cities, as we expected. However, we were surprised to see that the perceived threat of climate change in: most rural locations was lower. We had not expected that outcome, so we started to dig a little deeper for possible reasons. Rural people may be more resilient to change. Rural people may experience climate change like everyone else, but they may have better ways of coping with it than city residents because of their closer relationship with nature. This may have taught them to be more flexible in how they deal with change. After all, nature changes a lot and that could make them less worried about the major changes happening around them. People in rural areas may not be as aware of climate change as people in cities. Looking more closely, the effect is mostly down to education rather than whether people live in rural areas or not. Research shows that general levels of climate awareness in the UK are quite high. But this does not necessarily correspond to readiness for action or behavioural change. It is well documented, though, that rural inhabitants tend to have more conservative views, which could affect the way climate change is interpreted. Conservative views are often associated with less concern about the climate. People in rural areas may not experience climate change in the same wav as people in cities. This is because rural areas have higher levels of green space than urban areas. For example, you will feel the heat less when you are surrounded by trees. So, although we were surprised that the higher degree of place attachment in people living rurally did not necessarily lead to a higher perception of climate change threat, we can see there are good reasons for that. 32. What does the word “resilient” underlined in Paragraph 3 most probably mean? A. Easy to adapt. B. Ready to illustrate. C. Difficult to notice. D. Willing to challenge. 33. What can we learn from the passage? A. Conservative views in rural areas lower the perception of climate change. B. Strong rural place attachment results in higher climate change awareness. C. Well-educated people are more likely to take actions for climate change. D. Rural people pay more attention to climate change than city residents. 34. Which would be the best title for the passage? A. Who are to blame for climate change? B. How do people perceive climate change? C. Why is climate change perceived differently? D. What can people do to cope with climate change? 【答案】32. A 33. A 34. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了农村地区的人们相比于城市居民来说对气候变化的感知度较低，并分析了其中的原因。 【32题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第三段“Rural people may experience climate change like everyone else, but they may have better ways of coping with it than city residents because of their closer relationship with nature.(农村人可能会像其他人一样经历气候变化，但他们可能比城市居民有更好的应对方式，因为他们与自然的关系更密切。)”可知，农村人可能更能适应气候变化，所以推断划线词的意思是“容易适应”。故选A项。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“It is well documented, though, that rural inhabitants tend to have more conservative views, which could affect the way climate change is interpreted. Conservative views are often associated with less concern about the climate.(然而，有充分的证据表明，农村居民往往有更保守的观点，这可能会影响对气候变化的解释。保守的观点往往与不太关心气候联系在一起。)”可推知，农村地区的保守观点降低了人们对气候变化的感知度。故选A项。 【34题详解】 主旨大意题。分析全文内容，结合第二段中“However, we were surprised to see that the perceived threat of climate change in: most rural locations was lower.(然而，我们惊讶地发现，大多数农村地区对气候变化威胁的感知程度较低)”可知，文章主要介绍了农村地区的人们相比于城市居民来说对气候变化的感知度较低，并分析了其中的原因，所以C选项“为什么人们对气候变化的看法不同？”适合用作文章标题。故选C项。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，共10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。 As we carefully select our outfits each day, we may not always realize the influence our clothing choices have on our mood, behavior, and even how others understand us. ___35___ Studies have shown that dressing well can significantly affect how we feel about ourselves and our abilities. When we wear outfits that make us feel confident and comfortable, we are more likely to make a positive impression on others. Our clothing choices are like a personal canvas (画布). ___36___ Whether it’s a vintage-inspired dress or a bold graphic tee, our clothes become a reflection of who we are. Fashion is a powerful tool that helps us communicate with the world and form connections with like-minded individuals. Have you ever noticed how wearing a particular outfit can change your mood? ___37___ For instance, bright colors and cheerful patterns can uplift our spirits and bring a sense of happiness. ___38___ The link between colors and emotions plays a vital role in shaping our outlook on the day. Clothes we wear can also influence our behavior and cognitive processes. For example, wearing formal business suit might signal the brain that it’s time to focus and be productive, while more relaxed clothing might encourage a more casual approach. ___39___ So, the next time you dress up, remember the huge influence your outfit can have, and embrace the opportunity to express yourself through the art of fashion. A. Clothing can give rise to various emotional responses. B. Correct clothes conveys that you are interested in the job. C. On the other hand, wearing darker might create a feeling of seriousness. D. Thus, the right outfit can give us confidence needed to conquer the day ahead. E. It allows us to express our beliefs, interests, and emotions without saying a single word. F. Choosing the right for specific occasions can, therefore, enhance our performance and efficiency. G. The phrase “dress for success” holds true when it comes to the impact of clothes on self-confidence. 【答案】35. G 36. E 37. A 38. C 39. F 【解析】 【导语】本文属于说明文，主要讨论了服装选择对个人情绪、行为以及他人印象的影响。 【35题详解】 由上文“As we carefully select our outfits each day, we may not always realize the influence our clothing choices have on our mood, behavior, and even how others understand us. (当我们每天仔细挑选服装时，我们可能并不总是意识到我们的服装选择对我们的情绪、行为甚至别人如何理解我们的影响。)”和下文的“Studies have shown that dressing well can significantly affect how we feel about ourselves and our abilities. When we wear outfits that make us feel confident and comfortable, we are more likely to make a positive impression on others. (研究表明，穿着得体可以显著影响我们对自己和能力的感觉。当我们穿着让我们感到自信和舒适的服装时，我们更有可能给别人留下积极的印象。)”可知，我们的着装选择对自我感觉和能力的影响可知，这里需要一个总结性的话语来概括这种正面影响，尤其是关于自信方面。因此，G选项“The phrase “dress for success” holds true when it comes to the impact of clothes on self-confidence.(“穿着成功”这一说法在衣服对自信心的影响方面是千真万确的）能承上启下，强调了正确着装对于提升自信的作用。故选G。 【36题详解】 根据下文的“Whether it’s a vintage-inspired dress or a bold graphic tee, our clothes become a reflection of who we are. Fashion is a powerful tool that helps us communicate with the world and form connections with like-minded individuals. (无论是复古风格的连衣裙还是大胆的图案t恤，我们的衣服都能反映出我们是谁。时尚是一个强大的工具，它帮助我们与世界交流，并与志同道合的人建立联系。)”可知，下文讨论的是衣物作为个人表达的媒介，需要一个句子说明服装如何无声地传达个人的内在。E选项“It allows us to express our beliefs, interests, and emotions without saying a single word. (它使我们无需说一句话就能表达我们的信念、兴趣和情感。)”能引起下文，强调了服装是一种非言语的表达方式。故选E。 【37题详解】 由下文的“For instance, bright colors and cheerful patterns can uplift our spirits and bring a sense of happiness. (例如，明亮的颜色和欢快的图案可以提升我们的精神，带来一种幸福感。)”可知，此处需要一个句子引出服装与情绪之间的关系，特别是服装如何能够改变我们的心情。A选项“Clothing can give rise to various emotional responses. (服装可以引发各种情绪反应。)”能引起下文，直接指出了服装与情绪反应之间的关联。故选A。 【38题详解】 由上文的“For instance, bright colors and cheerful patterns can uplift our spirits and bring a sense of happiness. (例如，明亮的颜色和欢快的图案可以提升我们的精神，带来一种幸福感。)”可知，上文提到了明亮颜色和欢快图案对提升心情的作用，接下来应该继续讨论颜色对情绪的具体影响。C选项“On the other hand, wearing darker might create a feeling of seriousness. (另一方面，穿深色可能会产生一种严肃感。)”与前文形成对比，补充说明了不同色彩对情绪的不同影响。故选C。 【39题详解】 由上文的“Clothes we wear can also influence our behavior and cognitive processes. For example, wearing formal business suit might signal the brain that it’s time to focus and be productive, while more relaxed clothing might encourage a more casual approach. (我们穿的衣服也会影响我们的行为和认知过程。例如，穿正式的商务套装可能会向大脑发出信号，告诉你是时候集中精力工作了，而更轻松的衣服可能会鼓励你更随意。)”可知，此处需要一个句子总结服装如何影响我们的行为和认知过程，并且与上文中的“正式商务装”和“休闲装”的例子相呼应。F选项“Choosing the right for specific occasions can, therefore, enhance our performance and efficiency. (因此，为特定场合选择合适的着装可以提高我们的表现和效率。)”强调了恰当着装对提升个人效能的重要性，能承接上文，符合题意。故选F。 第三部分 书面表达(共两节，32分) 第一节(共4小题;第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分) 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。 The legendary horror author H. P. Lovecraft wrote that “the oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown.” Uncertainty causes people to see threats everywhere they look, and at the same time it makes them likely to react emotionally. Even minor periods of unpredictability can cause significant negative effects. Research on traffic jam, for example, has found that the lack of control drivers feel sends stress and anger levels through the roof. Uncertain bus, train, and plane delays are also major sources of uncertainty-triggered distress. One study found that giving people up-to-the-minute wait times was an effective way to limit anxiety and frustration. Even if the wait for a bus turned out to be long, removing the element of uncertainty made commuters feel better. Different people respond to uncertainty in different ways. Unfortunately, many are unhelpful coping strategies. People who struggle with uncertainty often respond to it by worrying. They also tend to think that worrying will somehow help them prepare for what’s to come. This is false. The more people engage in worrying, the less they feel confident in their ability to solve a problem and the worse their solutions tend to be. Trying to seek out new and helpful information can also backfire. BMC Public Health found that people can only process and make sense of a limited information and that consuming too much new information can lead to confusion and increased uncertainty. Still, how to remove the effects of uncertainty is food for thought. 40. According to H. P. Lovecraft, what is the oldest and strongest fear? __________________________________________________________ 41. Why can up-to-the-minute wait times limit anxiety? __________________________________________________________ 42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. ▶People who worry more will feel less confident in problem-solving, while their solutions tend to be better. __________________________________________________________ 43. What uncertainty worries you most and how do you deal with it? (In about 40 words) __________________________________________________________ 【答案】40. Fear of the unknown/uncertainty. 41. Because up-to-the-minute wait times can remove the element of uncertainty. 42. People who worry more will feel less confident in problem-solving, while their solutions tend to be better. 43. What uncertainty worries me most is job security. To deal with it, I can enhance my skills, build a strong professional network, and maintain a positive mindset, focusing on what I can control rather than worrying about what I cannot. 【解析】 【导语】本文体裁属于说明文，主要阐述了不确定性对人类情绪的影响，引用了H. P. Lovecraft的观点来引入话题，并通过实例和研究结果讨论了不确定性如何引发人们的恐惧、焦虑和压力，以及人们应对不确定性的不同方式及其效果。 【40题详解】 考查细节理解。由文章第一段“The legendary horror author H. P. Lovecraft wrote that “the oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown.” (传奇恐怖作家H. P. Lovecraft特写道：“人类最古老、最强烈的情感是恐惧，而最古老、最强烈的恐惧是对未知的恐惧。”)”可知，根据H. P. Lovecraft的说法，最古老、最强烈的恐惧是对未知/不确定性的恐惧。故答案为：Fear of the unknown/uncertainty. 【41题详解】 考查细节理解。由文章第二段中的“One study found that giving people up-to-the-minute wait times was an effective way to limit anxiety and frustration. Even if the wait for a bus turned out to be long, removing the element of uncertainty made commuters feel better. (一项研究发现，给人们准确的等待时间是一种有效的方法，可以减少焦虑和沮丧。即使等公共汽车的时间很长，消除不确定因素也会让通勤者感觉更好。)”可知，因为长达一分钟的等待时间可以消除不确定性因素，所以可以限制焦虑。故答案为：Because up-to-the-minute wait times can remove the element of uncertainty. 【42题详解】 考查推理判断。根据倒数第三段中的“The more people engage in worrying, the less they feel confident in their ability to solve a problem and the worse their solutions tend to be. (人们越是担心，他们对自己解决问题的能力就越不自信，他们的解决方案也就越糟糕。)”可知，担心得越多的人会对解决问题缺乏信心，而他们的解决方案往往会越糟糕。故答案为：People who worry more will feel less confident in problem-solving, while their solutions tend to be better. Because the more people engage in worrying, the less they feel confident in their ability to solve a problem and the worse their solutions tend to be. 【43题详解】 开放性问题。不确定性让我最担心的是工作保障。为了应对它，我可以提高自己的技能，建立一个强大的专业网络，并保持积极的心态，专注于我能控制的事情，而不是担心我不能控制的事情。故答案为：What uncertainty worries me most is job security. To deal with it, I can enhance my skills, build a strong professional network, and maintain a positive mindset, focusing on what I can control rather than worrying about what I cannot. 第二节(20分) 44. 假设你是红星中学高二学生李华。近期打算参加你校举办的“职业生涯规划(Career Planning)”主题活动。请给你校英国交换生Jim写一封英文邮件邀请他一起参加。邮件的内容包括： 1. 介绍活动的内容(时间、地点、安排等)； 2. 说明你打算参加的原因； 3. 询问对方意向。 注意：1. 词数100左右； 2. 开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Jim, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Jim, I’m excited to invite you to join in our “Career Planning” event to be held at our school next week.
