The fair, begun in 2016 by Tokini Peterside-Schwebig, has become a cornerstone of the African art every year. The first of its kind in West Africa, ART X Lagos is a special cultural event that goes beyond the traditional art fair. The fair, which hosted over 40 artists and galleries from Africa and worldwide, bridges the gap between continent-based and foreign artists. ART X Lagos has become renowned for its ambitious program, which includes ART X Talks — a lively discussion series; ART X Live—a one-of-a-kind music show; ART X Cinema — a film theatre; and ART Books — a feast to the latest books on art. For its 2024 edition, the fair’s theme “The Dialogue” will place an emphasis in this unique year, on conversation and community, and will see audiences raising their voices on these present challenging times, not just for Nigeria, but on the continent and globally. “We decided to go ahead with this different format for ART X Lagos 2023 due to the current socioeconomic challenges Nigeria is facing, and to fulfill, at the same time, our desire to continue to support the ecosystem in a way that is responsible and sustainable,” said the fair’s founder, Tokini Peterside-Schwebig, in an email exchange, “We want people to take time to talk to each other and this is why we have placed our talks at the center of the fair — we are inviting our audiences to get deeply involved and encourage the act of dialogue, at this key time.” 21．Which is true about ART X Lagos? A．It lasts about a month. B．It is open only to African artists. C．It was the first exhibition in Africa. D．It’ll come to the ninth edition in 2024. 22．If a visitor intends to enjoy music performance, which can be recommended? A．ART X Talks. B．ART X Live. C．ART X Cinema. D．ART Books. 23．What will the ART X Lagos 2024 stress according to Tokini? A．Conservation. B．Economy. C．Entertainment. D．Communication. B Do you ever worry that your kids aren’t getting enough exercise? Maybe they spend a lot of time doing inactive things such as playing computer games or reading books. Do you tend to say, “Go outside and get some fresh air!”? Years ago, I always looked for ways to include physical activity into my kids’ days. They’d go for walks and do hunts along the way. Before we left home, I often wrote a list of things for them to look out for: a black cat, a red car, a bike and a Banksia bush. Or I organized obstacle courses (障碍赛跑) in the park for my children to run around: “Run to the big tree, climb up the ladder and skip to the picnic table.” As my kids have grown to be teenagers, they have become unwilling to follow “Mother’s Orders”. They might get to the point when they no longer want to play outside or go for walks. After trying to force my kids to leave their books and do something that raises their heartbeat, I have learnt that it’s impossible to force kids to exercise. If they don't want to do it, we’ll end up frustrated and angry. So will they. It’s much better if our kids decide for themselves that they want to be fit because this is a healthy and enjoyable thing to do. So should we just hang around waiting for the day to arrive when our child might say, “I think I’ll go for a run... join the gym...go swimming...take up a sport”? Maybe we should reflect on ourselves. We often want our children to do things we’re not prepared to do ourselves. We want them to be fit and healthy, but we make excuses for why we can't exercise. For many years, fitness had been a big part of our family life. However, there are times when we've lost our enthusiasm. Last week, after doing a lot of online searches, I signed up for a free trial of the Walk at Home app. I'm challenging myself to get fitter and stronger. I want to regain my enthusiasm for exercise. I'm doing this for myself and also for my kids. 24．What did the author do to her kids years ago? A．She tried to involve them in exercise. B．She asked them to make exercise plans. C．She trained them to be professional athletes. D．She encouraged them to enjoy inactive things 25．What does the author say about her teen kids? A．They have become less active. B．They have lost interest in reading. C．They always follow her orders. D．They try their best to de sports. 26．What is the author’s current attitude towards forcing kids to exercise? A．Indifferent. B．Unclear. C．Opposed D．Positive. 27．What advice does the author most probably offer to parents? A．Waiting for their kids to be active. B．Setting a good example to their kids. C．Arranging various activities for their kids. D．Finding easier ways to exercise for their kids, C Myopia, also known as nearsightedness, has become a lot more common in recent decades. Some even consider myopia an epidemic (流行病). But what causes myopia and what reduces it? While having two myopic parents does mean you’re more likely to be nearsighted, there’s no single myopia gene. That means the causes of myopia are more behavioral than genetic. Scientists have learned a great deal about the progression of myopia by studying visual development in baby chickens. They do so by putting little hats on baby chickens. Lenses (镜片) on the face of the hats cover the chicks’ eyes and are adjusted to affect how much they see. Just like in humans, if visual input is wrong, a chick’s eyes grow too large, resulting in myopia. And it’s progressive. Blur (模糊) leads to eye growth, which causes more blur, which makes the eye grow even larger, and so on. Two recent studies featuring extensive surveys of children and their parents provide strong support for the idea that an important driver of the increase in myopia is that people are spending more time focusing on objects immediately in front of our eyes, whether a screen, a book or a drawing pad. Other research has shown that this unnatural eye growth can be interrupted by sunlight. A 2022 study, for example, found that myopia rates were more than four times greater for children who didn’t spend much time outdoors — say, once or twice a week — compared with those who were outside daily. At the same time, kids who spent more than three hours a day while not at school reading or looking at a screen close-up were four times more likely to have myopia than those who spent an hour or less doing so. Fortunately, just a few minutes a day with glasses that correct blur stops the progression of myopia, which is why early vision testing and vision correction are important to limit the development of myopia. 28．What can we learn from the study on baby chickens? A．Myopia in chicks is not progressive. B．Myopia is mainly caused by genetic factors. C．Visual input affects the growth of a chick’s eyes. D．Lenses can prevent chicks from developing myopia. 29．What might be the main cause of myopia according to the text? A．Absence of enough sleeping hours. B．Too much screen time. C．Poor and unbalanced diet. D．Lack of high-intense activities. 30．What’s the main idea of paragraph 6? A．Outdoor light helps prevent myopia. B．Reading is the direct cause of myopia. C．Researchers have found a cure for myopia. D．Children should play outdoors twice a week at least. 31．What is the author’s attitude towards early vision testing? A．Unclear. B．Approving. C．Doubtful. D．Dismissive. D “Sating from now on, to be healthy, I will NOT eat any snacks besides granola bars (燕麦棒),” is what I told myself yesterday, and yet here I am today chewing a Chocopie. I’m aware that I’m breaking my own promise to myself. Instead of eating this, I should be working out or something. But the thing is, chocolate is too good at this moment for me to refuse it! As I type this, I’m experiencing what’s called instant gratification — the desire to experience pleasure or fulfillment without delaying it for a future benefit. Essentially, when you want it, you get it. Instant gratification is also the exact opposite of what we’re taught to do-delayed gratification: deciding to put off satisfying our current want to gain something better in the future. We’ve all encountered instant gratification before. Should I sleep in or wake up early to work out? When I get home, should I rest and watch TV first or get started on my homework? All humans have the tendency to seek pleasure and avoid pain, which is a basic but fundamental concept known as the pleasure principle. Originally coined by Sigmund Freud, it clearly states that all humans are driven, to some extent, by pleasure. Constantly seeking quick pleasure may bring subsequent troubles. However pleasant not doing your homework may seem pleasant right now, it only results in pleasure plagued by guilt and last-minute panicking late at night. An inability to resist instant gratification may result in underachieving in the long term and failure to meet certain goals. Instant gratification, however, is not necessarily a bad thing. You don’t always have to say no to things you want at that moment, and it’s good to treat yourself when you need it. In other words, times where you “treat yourself” are only valuable in combination with delayed gratification. While my Chocopie may taste good now, it’ll taste even better if I only eat it after I’ve worked out or done something healthy. 32．How does the author introduce the topic? A．By making a contrast. B．By giving a definition. C．By citing a personal case. D．By listing detailed problems. 33．Which of the following is an example of instant gratification? A．Purchasing items regardless of budgets. B．Exercising regularly for long-term health. C．Limiting time on social media platforms. D．Finishing homework before watching TV. 34．What does the underlined word “plagued” in paragraph 5 probably mean? A．Reminded. B．Highlighted. C．Introduced. D．Bothered. 35．What may the author agree with? A．Delayed gratification is pointless. B．Instant gratification should be prioritized. C．Enjoying the moment brings in endless pleasure. D．Instant treats paired with delayed gratification are sweeter. 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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 With summer fast approaching, it’s time to book your trips. 36 Here is something we can do to avoid them. Fail to disclose pre-existing medical conditions. It’s crucial that you tell your insurance provider about any medical conditions you have. 37 If you fail to disclose the problems, you won’t be covered for any issues related to the condition while you’re on holiday. If you’re not sure if you need to mention a medical condition you have, it’s worth asking your insurance provider. Don’t let your insurance provider know if there are any changes to your pre-existing medical conditions. To make sure you’re not out of pocket during your holiday, you need to inform your insurance provider of any developments in your medical history. 38 If anything changes in health, let your insurer know as soon as possible to avoid any complications. 39 A good rule of thumb is to organize your travel insurance at the same time you book your holiday. Travel insurance covers you for your holiday as well as the period leading up to it. By booking your insurance at the same time as the holiday itself, you’ll be covered if anything changes, or you need to cancel your trip. Make sure you organize insurance well in advance. Get your details wrong when booking travel insurance. Make sure to check your details carefully. You won’t be covered if you’ve given your insurer the wrong information. Double-check everything you’ve entered before finalizing your travel insurance. 40 Make sure you compare key features and benefits of travel insurance policies, and not just the price. Insurance is vital for your trip, so make sure you take the time to understand what you’re paying for. A．Leave buying insurance until the last minute. B．Taking out an annual policy for a long-stay trip. C．This includes any medical problems you have experienced. D．Ensure you check your details as soon as you receive your documents. E．Insurers ask for medical changes in order to give you the right level of cover. F．Make sure you have travel insurance and cards to avoid any unexpected payments. G．However, there are several travel insurance mistakes to stop you from getting a payout. 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，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I entered this world with Poland syndrome, a disease that prevented the formation of my right arm and muscles. My parents believed playing with Lego could enhance my 41 and gifted me my first kit when I was five. Initially I 42 to piece the the components together but finally I crafted my first Lego work – a car. By the age of nine, I had 43 my first prosthetic arm (义肢) using Lego– a simple box that perfectly accommodated my right arm. This early creation sparked my drive for further 44 . Years later, I developed another prosthetic arm called the MK-1, which had fingers, a motor, a pressure sensor, and a grabber capable of 45 things. Before constructing it, I was against traditional prosthetics as they were too 46 . My parents had looked into getting one years earlier, only to be discouraged by the prohibitive price. So, I concluded that I might not need one because I was managing well without. As the years passed, my 47 evolved from MK-1 to the more advanced and comfortable MK-V. One day, a couple with their eight-year-old son, who lost both 48 in an accident, reached out to me after learning about my story. Short of money, they couldn’t afford well-functioning prosthetics. “Daniel,” the father 49 asked, “we were wondering if you could help build a set of prosthetics for our son.” It would be a 50 task, but I responded with a “yes”. Without any delay, I 51 the task. The subsequent days witnessed how I carefully selected the Lego piece and intricately integrated practical components to enhance its dexterity(灵巧). Days 52 into weeks, and the boy-customized prosthetics finally took shape. It’s time for them to fulfill their intended purpose. I rushed to the boy’s home and 53 the prosthetics onto him. They worked! The room erupted with cheers! The boy expressed his gratitude and sprinted to his parents to 54 them in the biggest hug. Never had I imagined that my creations, born out of mere 55 , would someday make such a difference. 41．A．stability B．mobility C．flexibility D．reliability 42．A．learned B．attempted C．managed D．struggled 43．A．equipped B．fashioned C．decorated D．upgraded 44．A．effort B．investment C．application D．exploration 45．A．picking up B．setting up C．pulling up D．rolling up 46．A．unstable B．expensive C．inconvenient D．clumsy 47．A．passions B．creations C．thoughts D．inspirations 48．A．arms B．legs C．hands D．fingers 49．A．gratefully B．desperately C．hurriedly D．earnestly 50．A．frustrating B．promising C．challenging D．embarrassing 51．A．embarked on B．set off C．figured out D．took on 52．A．grew B．followed C．turned D．developed 53．A．secured B．placed C．guaranteed D．stuck 54．A．encounter B．engrave C．engage D．envelop 55．A．awe B．dedication C．fun D．boredom 第二节　(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 On November 14th, 2022, the Paris 2024 Olympics and Paralympics presented their official mascots (吉祥物) — the Phryges. The cartoonish 56 (image) are small cone-shaped caps. Just like the 57 (nation) flag of France, Phryges are in red, white and blue colors. Plus, the golden Paris 2024 logo 58 (print) across their chests. The difference 59 the two mascots is that the Paralympic Phryge wears 60 artificial leg that goes to the knee. The Paralympic committee wants 61 (express) that with the help of man-made devices, disabled people can stand up from 62 (they) wheelchairs and run as fast as lightning. The two mascots share a motto of “Alone we go faster, but together we go 63 (far).” The Olympic Phryge is described as  “skilled in using strategies and 64   (have) a calculating brain”, while the Paralympic one is “open, natural and full of energy and enthusiasm”. The design of the Phryges was inspired by small Phrygian caps, an item of clothing 65 dates back to ancient times and has been part of French history for centuries. Nowadays, the Phrygian cap has become a French symbol of freedom. 第四部分　写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) 假定你是李华，你制作了一本《中国古代诗歌集》送给马上要回国的外教Smith先生，请你给他写一封邮件，内容包括： 1.介绍诗集的特色和内容； 2.诗集的意义。 注意：1.写作词数应为80左右； ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第二节(满分25分) 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 The moment the bell rang, Lek grabbed his school bag and raced towards his destination. When at last he pushed open the door of his parents’ restaurant, he could hardly catch his breath. He ran into the kitchen and reached for a pile of banana leaves on the counter. If he hurried, he might have time to make his krathong (水灯) before the celebration started. Tonight was Loy Krathong (水灯节), the Festival of the Floating Lanterns. In his town, people would send out lighted candles in tiny boats along rivers and canals so that the past year’s problems could sail away with them and be replaced with wishes for the new year. As he wrapped the banana leaves around a bamboo base to form his boat, Lek thought about his sister, Katia. She was too sick to float a krathong on the river tonight. Perhaps a wish on Loy Krathong would take away her illness. Maybe then she would be able to laugh the way she used to. He tucked (塞) four red flowers inside the banana leaves and poked three sticks of incense between their blossoms. In the middle, he placed a tall, white candle. This week, Lek had practiced launching a krathong the way his brother, Fred did. Fred was experienced in launching krathongs and often launched krathongs into the river for each of their customers. Lek had balanced stones on the flat piece of metal at the bottom of a long pole and lowered them into the river until their parents had scolded him for standing too close to the water’s edge. When night fell, Lek and Fred made their way outside through the crowd standing under the full moon. Fred stood on the jetty (突堤), lowering a krathong into the water with his pole. The candlelight danced on the black river as the boat slowly followed the current. A long line of people waited behind Fred. It would take forever before he could help Lek! Lek took matches and lit the candle on his tiny boat. He lowered his krathong toward the water, stretching to reach its surface. 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右。 2.请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 Suddenly, he felt his body shaking on the edge and the krathong dropped from his hand into the dark water. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Fred walked towards weeping Lek with a krathong in his hand. _____________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null备战2025年高考英语之暑假名校模拟试题精练精析 备战2025年高考英语之暑假名校模拟试题精练精析 暑假复习模拟测试2 （考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：150分） 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．Who supports human cloning?

I wonder how he made his discoveries. M: Well, at his time, people believed the earth was the center of the universe. But if that was the case, some things didn’t make sense. So, Copernicus tried to find an answer. He collected observations of the stars, and used all his mathematical knowledge to analyse them. That finally led to his theory. W: Copernicus was great indeed! M: Absolutely! But unfortunately, he didn’t publish his theory until he was dying. W: How come? M: At that time, the Christian Church was extremely strict about ideas. If Copernicus put forward his theory, the theory would certainly have been rejected. And he himself would have been attacked and punished, too. 听第10段材料，回答第17至20题。 17．What quality did Linda show early in her career? A．Her sales ability. B．Her leadership skills.

The fair, begun in 2016 by Tokini Peterside-Schwebig, has become a cornerstone of the African art every year. The first of its kind in West Africa, ART X Lagos is a special cultural event that goes beyond the traditional art fair. The fair, which hosted over 40 artists and galleries from Africa and worldwide, bridges the gap between continent-based and foreign artists. ART X Lagos has become renowned for its ambitious program, which includes ART X Talks — a lively discussion series; ART X Live—a one-of-a-kind music show; ART X Cinema — a film theatre; and ART Books — a feast to the latest books on art. For its 2024 edition, the fair’s theme “The Dialogue” will place an emphasis in this unique year, on conversation and community, and will see audiences raising their voices on these present challenging times, not just for Nigeria, but on the continent and globally. “We decided to go ahead with this different format for ART X Lagos 2023 due to the current socioeconomic challenges Nigeria is facing, and to fulfill, at the same time, our desire to continue to support the ecosystem in a way that is responsible and sustainable,” said the fair’s founder, Tokini Peterside-Schwebig, in an email exchange, “We want people to take time to talk to each other and this is why we have placed our talks at the center of the fair — we are inviting our audiences to get deeply involved and encourage the act of dialogue, at this key time.” 21．Which is true about ART X Lagos? A．It lasts about a month. B．It is open only to African artists. C．It was the first exhibition in Africa. D．It’ll come to the ninth edition in 2024. 22．If a visitor intends to enjoy music performance, which can be recommended? A．ART X Talks. B．ART X Live. C．ART X Cinema.

D．Communication. 【答案】21．D 22．B 23．D 【解析】本文是应用文。文章主要介绍了ART X Lagos艺术展览活动的相关信息，包括其历史、特点、重要性和本年度的主题等。 21．细节理解题。根据第一段“The fair, begun in 2016 by Tokini Peterside-Schwebig, has become a cornerstone of the African art every year.(该艺术节由Tokini Peterside-Schwebig于2016年创办，如今已成为每年非洲艺术的基石)”可知，ART X Lagos艺术节创办于2016年，每年举办一次，所以到2024年，应是第九届。故选D项。 22．细节理解题。根据第二段“ART X Lagos has become renowned for its ambitious program, which includes ART X Talks —a lively discussion series; ART X Live—a one-of-a-kind music show; ART X Cinema—a film theatre; and ART Books—a feast to the latest books on art.(ART X Lagos因其雄心勃勃的项目而闻名，其中包括ART X Talks（一系列生动的讨论）、ART X Live（独一无二的音乐表演）、ART X Cinema（电影剧场）和ART Books（最新艺术书籍的盛宴）)”可知，如果游客想欣赏音乐表演，可以推荐ART X Live。故选B项。 23．细节理解题。根据第三段“For its 2024 edition, the fair’s theme “The Dialogue” will place an emphasis in this unique year, on conversation and community, and will see audiences raising their voices on these present challenging times, not just for Nigeria, but on the continent and globally.(在2024年的艺术节上，主题“对话”将强调这一独特年份中的交流与社群，观众将围绕当前充满挑战的时代发出自己的声音，这不仅关乎尼日利亚，而且关乎整个非洲大陆乃至全球)”可知，根据Tokini的说法，2024年ART X Lagos将强调交流。故选D项。 B Do you ever worry that your kids aren’t getting enough exercise? Maybe they spend a lot of time doing inactive things such as playing computer games or reading books. Do you tend to say, “Go outside and get some fresh air!”? Years ago, I always looked for ways to include physical activity into my kids’ days. They’d go for walks and do hunts along the way. Before we left home, I often wrote a list of things for them to look out for: a black cat, a red car, a bike and a Banksia bush. Or I organized obstacle courses (障碍赛跑) in the park for my children to run around: “Run to the big tree, climb up the ladder and skip to the picnic table.” As my kids have grown to be teenagers, they have become unwilling to follow “Mother’s Orders”. They might get to the point when they no longer want to play outside or go for walks. After trying to force my kids to leave their books and do something that raises their heartbeat, I have learnt that it’s impossible to force kids to exercise. If they don't want to do it, we’ll end up frustrated and angry. So will they. It’s much better if our kids decide for themselves that they want to be fit because this is a healthy and enjoyable thing to do. So should we just hang around waiting for the day to arrive when our child might say, “I think I’ll go for a run... join the gym...go swimming...take up a sport”? Maybe we should reflect on ourselves. We often want our children to do things we’re not prepared to do ourselves. We want them to be fit and healthy, but we make excuses for why we can't exercise. For many years, fitness had been a big part of our family life. However, there are times when we've lost our enthusiasm. Last week, after doing a lot of online searches, I signed up for a free trial of the Walk at Home app. I'm challenging myself to get fitter and stronger. I want to regain my enthusiasm for exercise. I'm doing this for myself and also for my kids. 24．What did the author do to her kids years ago? A．She tried to involve them in exercise. B．She asked them to make exercise plans. C．She trained them to be professional athletes. D．She encouraged them to enjoy inactive things 25．What does the author say about her teen kids? A．They have become less active. B．They have lost interest in reading. C．They always follow her orders. D．They try their best to de sports. 26．What is the author’s current attitude towards forcing kids to exercise? A．Indifferent. B．Unclear. C．Opposed D．Positive. 27．What advice does the author most probably offer to parents? A．Waiting for their kids to be active. B．Setting a good example to their kids. C．Arranging various activities for their kids. D．Finding easier ways to exercise for their kids, 【答案】24．A 25．A 26．C 27．B 【解析】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者对于孩子没有得到足够的锻炼而担心，后来，作者决定自己给孩子树立好榜样，重拾对运动的热情的故事。 24．细节理解题。根据第一段“Do you ever worry that your kids aren't getting enough exercise? Maybe they spend a lot of time doing inactive things such as playing computer games or reading books. Do you tend to say, “Go outside and get some fresh air!”?”（你是否担心过你的孩子没有得到足够的锻炼？也许他们花很多时间做不活跃的事情，如玩电脑游戏或看书。你会不会说：“出去呼吸点新鲜空气！”）以及第二段中“Years ago, I always looked for ways to include physical activity into my kids’ days.”（多年前，我一直在想办法把体育活动纳入孩子们的日常生活。）可知，作者几年前试图让孩子们参与体育锻炼。故选A项。 25．细节理解题。根据第三段中“As my kids have grown to be teenagers, they have become unwilling to follow “Mother's Orders”. They might get to the point when they no longer want to play outside or go for walks. After trying to force my kids to leave their books and do something that raises their heartbeat, I have learnt that it’s impossible to force kids to exercise. If they don’t want to do it, we'll end up frustrated and angry. So will they.”（当我的孩子成长为青少年时，他们变得不愿意听从“母亲的命令”。他们可能会达到不再想在外面玩耍或散步的地步。在试着强迫我的孩子离开书本，做一些让他们心跳加快的事情之后，我明白了强迫孩子锻炼是不可能的。如果他们不想这样做，我们最终会感到沮丧和愤怒。他们也会。）可知，当作者的孩子成长为青少年时，他们变得不那么活跃了。故选A项。 26．推理判断题。根据第三段中“After trying to force my kids to leave their books and do something that raises their heartbeat, I have learnt that it's impossible to force kids to exercise. If they don’t want to do it, we'll end up frustrated and angry. So will they. It’s much better if our kids decide for themselves that they want to be fit because this is a healthy and enjoyable thing to do.”（在试着强迫我的孩子离开书本，做一些让他们心跳加快的事情之后，我明白了强迫孩子锻炼是不可能的。如果他们不想这样做，我们最终会感到沮丧和愤怒。他们也会。如果我们的孩子自己决定他们想要保持健康，那就更好了，因为这是一件健康而愉快的事情。）可推知，作者目前对强迫孩子锻炼的态度是反对的，觉得这是不可能的。故选C项。 27．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Maybe we should reflect on ourselves. We often want our children to do things we’re not prepared to do ourselves. We want them to be fit and healthy, but we make excuses for why we can't exercise.”（也许我们应该反省一下自己。我们常常希望我们的孩子去做我们自己没有准备去做的事情。我们希望他们身体健康，但我们却为自己不能锻炼找借口。）以及最后一段中“I want to regain my enthusiasm for exercise. I'm doing this for myself and also for my kids.”（我想重拾对运动的热情。我这么做是为了我自己，也是为了我的孩子们。）可推知，作者最有可能给父母的建议是给孩子树立好榜样。故选B项。 C Myopia, also known as nearsightedness, has become a lot more common in recent decades. Some even consider myopia an epidemic (流行病). But what causes myopia and what reduces it? While having two myopic parents does mean you’re more likely to be nearsighted, there’s no single myopia gene. That means the causes of myopia are more behavioral than genetic. Scientists have learned a great deal about the progression of myopia by studying visual development in baby chickens. They do so by putting little hats on baby chickens. Lenses (镜片) on the face of the hats cover the chicks’ eyes and are adjusted to affect how much they see. Just like in humans, if visual input is wrong, a chick’s eyes grow too large, resulting in myopia. And it’s progressive. Blur (模糊) leads to eye growth, which causes more blur, which makes the eye grow even larger, and so on. Two recent studies featuring extensive surveys of children and their parents provide strong support for the idea that an important driver of the increase in myopia is that people are spending more time focusing on objects immediately in front of our eyes, whether a screen, a book or a drawing pad. Other research has shown that this unnatural eye growth can be interrupted by sunlight. A 2022 study, for example, found that myopia rates were more than four times greater for children who didn’t spend much time outdoors — say, once or twice a week — compared with those who were outside daily. At the same time, kids who spent more than three hours a day while not at school reading or looking at a screen close-up were four times more likely to have myopia than those who spent an hour or less doing so. Fortunately, just a few minutes a day with glasses that correct blur stops the progression of myopia, which is why early vision testing and vision correction are important to limit the development of myopia. 28．What can we learn from the study on baby chickens? A．Myopia in chicks is not progressive. B．Myopia is mainly caused by genetic factors. C．Visual input affects the growth of a chick’s eyes. D．Lenses can prevent chicks from developing myopia. 29．What might be the main cause of myopia according to the text? A．Absence of enough sleeping hours. B．Too much screen time. C．Poor and unbalanced diet. D．Lack of high-intense activities. 30．What’s the main idea of paragraph 6? A．Outdoor light helps prevent myopia. B．Reading is the direct cause of myopia. C．Researchers have found a cure for myopia. D．Children should play outdoors twice a week at least. 31．What is the author’s attitude towards early vision testing? A．Unclear. B．Approving. C．Doubtful. D．Dismissive. 【答案】28．C 29．B 30．A 31．B 【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了近视近几十年来变得越来越普遍，解释了导致近视的原因和有关研究。 28．细节理解题。根据第四段“Just like in humans, if visual input is wrong, a chick’s eyes grow too large, resulting in myopia. And it’s progressive. Blur (模糊) leads to eye growth, which causes more blur, which makes the eye grow even larger, and so on.(就像人类一样，如果视觉输入错误，小鸡的眼睛就会变得太大，导致近视。它是渐进的。模糊会导致眼睛变大，而眼睛变大又会导致更多的模糊，从而使眼睛变得更大，如此循环)”可知，视觉输入影响小鸡眼睛的发育。故选C。 29．细节理解题。根据第五段“Two recent studies featuring extensive surveys of children and their parents provide strong support for the idea that an important driver of the increase in myopia is that people are spending more time focusing on objects immediately in front of our eyes, whether a screen, a book or a drawing pad.(最近的两项研究对儿童及其父母进行了广泛调查，为以下观点提供了强有力的支持：近视增加的一个重要驱动因素是人们花更多的时间关注眼前的物体，无论是屏幕、书还是画板)”可知，看屏幕时间太长可能是近视的主要原因。故选B。 30．主旨大意题。根据第六段“Other research has shown that this unnatural eye growth can be interrupted by sunlight. A 2022 study, for example, found that myopia rates were more than four times greater for children who didn’t spend much time outdoors — say, once or twice a week — compared with those who were outside daily. At the same time, kids who spent more than three hours a day while not at school reading or looking at a screen close-up were four times more likely to have myopia than those who spent an hour or less doing so.(其他研究表明，这种不自然的眼睛生长可能会被阳光打断。例如，2022年的一项研究发现，不经常户外活动(比如一周一两次)的儿童的近视率是每天户外活动的儿童的四倍多。与此同时，每天在非学校时间阅读或看屏幕特写的时间超过3小时的孩子患近视的可能性是每天阅读或看屏幕特写时间不超过1小时的孩子的4倍)”可知，第6段的主旨是户外光线有助于预防近视。故选A。 31．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Fortunately, just a few minutes a day with glasses that correct blur stops the progression of myopia, which is why early vision testing and vision correction are important to limit the development of myopia.(幸运的是，每天只要戴几分钟矫正模糊的眼镜就能阻止近视的发展，这就是为什么早期视力检查和视力矫正对限制近视的发展很重要)”可推知，作者对早期视力测试的态度是支持。故选B。 D “Sating from now on, to be healthy, I will NOT eat any snacks besides granola bars (燕麦棒),” is what I told myself yesterday, and yet here I am today chewing a Chocopie. I’m aware that I’m breaking my own promise to myself. Instead of eating this, I should be working out or something. But the thing is, chocolate is too good at this moment for me to refuse it! As I type this, I’m experiencing what’s called instant gratification — the desire to experience pleasure or fulfillment without delaying it for a future benefit. Essentially, when you want it, you get it. Instant gratification is also the exact opposite of what we’re taught to do-delayed gratification: deciding to put off satisfying our current want to gain something better in the future. We’ve all encountered instant gratification before. Should I sleep in or wake up early to work out? When I get home, should I rest and watch TV first or get started on my homework? All humans have the tendency to seek pleasure and avoid pain, which is a basic but fundamental concept known as the pleasure principle. Originally coined by Sigmund Freud, it clearly states that all humans are driven, to some extent, by pleasure. Constantly seeking quick pleasure may bring subsequent troubles. However pleasant not doing your homework may seem pleasant right now, it only results in pleasure plagued by guilt and last-minute panicking late at night. An inability to resist instant gratification may result in underachieving in the long term and failure to meet certain goals. Instant gratification, however, is not necessarily a bad thing. You don’t always have to say no to things you want at that moment, and it’s good to treat yourself when you need it. In other words, times where you “treat yourself” are only valuable in combination with delayed gratification. While my Chocopie may taste good now, it’ll taste even better if I only eat it after I’ve worked out or done something healthy. 32．How does the author introduce the topic? A．By making a contrast. B．By giving a definition. C．By citing a personal case. D．By listing detailed problems. 33．Which of the following is an example of instant gratification? A．Purchasing items regardless of budgets. B．Exercising regularly for long-term health. C．Limiting time on social media platforms. D．Finishing homework before watching TV. 34．What does the underlined word “plagued” in paragraph 5 probably mean? A．Reminded. B．Highlighted. C．Introduced. D．Bothered. 35．What may the author agree with? A．Delayed gratification is pointless. B．Instant gratification should be prioritized. C．Enjoying the moment brings in endless pleasure. D．Instant treats paired with delayed gratification are sweeter. 【答案】32．C 33．A 34．D 35．D 【解析】这是一篇议论文。文章通过个人违背健康饮食计划的例子引入即时满足的概念，对比了即时满足与延迟满足，指出即时满足虽带来短期快乐，但可能有负面后果，而与延迟满足结合则更为可取。 32．推理判断题。由文章第一段““Sating from now on, to be healthy, I will NOT eat any snacks besides granola bars (燕麦棒),” is what I told myself yesterday, and yet here I am today chewing a Chocopie. I’m aware that I’m breaking my own promise to myself. Instead of eating this, I should be working out or something. But the thing is, chocolate is too good at this moment for me to refuse it! (“从现在开始，为了健康，除了格兰诺拉燕麦棒，我不会吃任何零食。”这是我昨天告诉自己的，而今天我却在这里嚼着一块Chocopie。我意识到我违背了对自己的承诺。与其吃这个，我还不如去健身什么的。但问题是，巧克力在这个时刻太好了，我无法拒绝它！)”和第二段“As I type this, I’m experiencing what’s called instant gratification — the desire to experience pleasure or fulfillment without delaying it for a future benefit.   Essentially, when you want it, you get it. (当我写这篇文章的时候，我正在体验所谓的即时满足——渴望体验快乐或满足，而不是为了未来的利益而拖延。基本上，当你想要的时候，你就会得到。)”可推知，作者通过讲述自己决定只吃燕麦棒来保持健康，但第二天却违背了这个决定而吃了Chocopie的个人经历来引入关于即时满足的话题。故选C。 33．推理判断题。由文章第二段“As I type this, I’m experiencing what’s called instant gratification — the desire to experience pleasure or fulfillment without delaying it for a future benefit. Essentially, when you want it, you get it. (当我写这篇文章的时候，我正在体验所谓的即时满足——渴望体验快乐或满足，而不是为了未来的利益而拖延。基本上，当你想要的时候，你就会得到)”可推知，即时满足的一个例子是不顾预算购买物品，因为它体现了立即追求快乐或满足而不考虑未来后果的行为。故选A。 34．词句猜测题。由文划线词上文“Constantly seeking quick pleasure may bring subsequent troubles. However pleasant not doing your homework may seem pleasant right now, it only results in pleasure (不断地寻求快速的快乐可能会带来随之而来的麻烦。不管现在不做作业看起来多么愉快，它只会带来快乐)”及下文“guilt and last-minute panicking late at night (内疚和深夜最后一刻的恐慌)”可知，因内疚和最后一刻的慌乱而烦恼，因此plagued的意思为“困扰，折磨”。A. Reminded提醒；B. Highlighted突出显示；C. Introduced介绍；D. Bothered使（某人）烦恼（或担忧、不安），给（某人）造成麻烦（或痛苦）。故选D。 35．推理判断题。由文章最后一段“Instant gratification, however, is not necessarily a bad thing. You don’t always have to say no to things you want at that moment, and it’s good to treat yourself when you need it. In other words, times where you “treat yourself” are only valuable in combination with delayed gratification. While my Chocopie may taste good now, it’ll taste even better if I only eat it after I’ve worked out or done something healthy. (然而，即时满足并不一定是一件坏事。在那一刻，你不必总是对你想要的东西说不，在你需要的时候善待自己是件好事。换句话说，你“善待自己”的时间只有在延迟满足的情况下才有价值。虽然我的巧克力现在可能很好吃，但如果我只在锻炼或做一些健康的事情后吃它，味道会更好)”可知，作者认为虽然即时满足不是坏事，但最好与延迟满足结合使用，例如在完成锻炼或做了有益健康的事情之后再享受Chocopie会感觉更好。由此推知，作者可能同意即时享受与延迟满足相结合会更甜美。故选D。 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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 With summer fast approaching, it’s time to book your trips. 36 Here is something we can do to avoid them. Fail to disclose pre-existing medical conditions. It’s crucial that you tell your insurance provider about any medical conditions you have. 37 If you fail to disclose the problems, you won’t be covered for any issues related to the condition while you’re on holiday.

It’s crucial that you tell your insurance provider about any medical conditions you have. (没有披露已有的就医情况。告诉你的保险公司你的所有就医情况是至关重要的。)”和下文的“If you fail to disclose the problems, you won’t be covered for any issues related to the condition while you’re on holiday. If you’re not sure if you need to mention a medical condition you have, it’s worth asking your insurance provider.(如果你没有披露这些问题，你将不会得到在度假期间任何与疾病相关的赔偿。如果你不确定你是否需要提及你的就医情况，你应该问问你的保险公司。)”可知，C项(这包括你有过的任何医疗问题。)承接上文，说明了你要如实告知你的就医情况，下文指出了如若不告知保险公司事情会带来的后果。故选C项。 38．根据上文的“Don’t let your insurance provider know if there are any changes to your pre-existing medical conditions. To make sure you’re not out of pocket during your holiday, you need to inform your insurance provider of any developments in your medical history. (不要让你的保险公司知道你之前的就医状况有任何变化。为了确保你在度假期间不会赔钱，你需要告知你的保险公司你的病史的任何发展。)”和下文的“If anything changes in health, let your insurer know as soon as possible to avoid any complications.(如果你的健康状况有任何变化，请尽快告知你的保险公司，以避免任何复杂情况发生。)”可知，E项(保险公司要求你进行医疗变更，以便给你适当的保险范围。)承接上文，说明了病情若发生变化要及时报告给保险公司，以便调整保险范围，下文指出了这样做的必要性。故选E项。 39．根据下文的“A good rule of thumb is to organize your travel insurance at the same time you book your holiday. Travel insurance covers you for your holiday as well as the period leading up to it. By booking your insurance at the same time as the holiday itself, you’ll be covered if anything changes, or you need to cancel your trip. Make sure you organize insurance well in advance.(一个好的经验法则是在预订假期的同时安排好旅行保险。旅游保险的时间段包括你的假期以及假期前的一段时间。在度假的同时预订保险，如果有什么变化，或者你需要取消旅行，你就会得到保险。一定要提前准备好保险。)”可知，F项(确保你有旅行保险和银行卡，以避免任何意外支出。)说明了要做好保险以相应的材料，下文具体指出了如何操作。故选F项。 40．根据上文的“Get your details wrong when booking travel insurance. Make sure to check your details carefully. You won’t be covered if you’ve given your insurer the wrong information.

My parents believed playing with Lego could enhance my 41 and gifted me my first kit when I was five. Initially I 42 to piece the the components together but finally I crafted my first Lego work – a car. By the age of nine, I had 43 my first prosthetic arm (义肢) using Lego– a simple box that perfectly accommodated my right arm. This early creation sparked my drive for further 44 . Years later, I developed another prosthetic arm called the MK-1, which had fingers, a motor, a pressure sensor, and a grabber capable of 45 things. Before constructing it, I was against traditional prosthetics as they were too 46 . My parents had looked into getting one years earlier, only to be discouraged by the prohibitive price. So, I concluded that I might not need one because I was managing well without. As the years passed, my 47 evolved from MK-1 to the more advanced and comfortable MK-V. One day, a couple with their eight-year-old son, who lost both 48 in an accident, reached out to me after learning about my story. Short of money, they couldn’t afford well-functioning prosthetics. “Daniel,” the father 49 asked, “we were wondering if you could help build a set of prosthetics for our son.” It would be a 50 task, but I responded with a “yes”. Without any delay, I 51 the task. The subsequent days witnessed how I carefully selected the Lego piece and intricately integrated practical components to enhance its dexterity(灵巧).

When at last he pushed open the door of his parents’ restaurant, he could hardly catch his breath. He ran into the kitchen and reached for a pile of banana leaves on the counter. If he hurried, he might have time to make his krathong (水灯) before the celebration started. Tonight was Loy Krathong (水灯节), the Festival of the Floating Lanterns. In his town, people would send out lighted candles in tiny boats along rivers and canals so that the past year’s problems could sail away with them and be replaced with wishes for the new year. As he wrapped the banana leaves around a bamboo base to form his boat, Lek thought about his sister, Katia. She was too sick to float a krathong on the river tonight. Perhaps a wish on Loy Krathong would take away her illness. Maybe then she would be able to laugh the way she used to. He tucked (塞) four red flowers inside the banana leaves and poked three sticks of incense between their blossoms. In the middle, he placed a tall, white candle. This week, Lek had practiced launching a krathong the way his brother, Fred did. Fred was experienced in launching krathongs and often launched krathongs into the river for each of their customers. Lek had balanced stones on the flat piece of metal at the bottom of a long pole and lowered them into the river until their parents had scolded him for standing too close to the water’s edge. When night fell, Lek and Fred made their way outside through the crowd standing under the full moon. Fred stood on the jetty (突堤), lowering a krathong into the water with his pole. The candlelight danced on the black river as the boat slowly followed the current. A long line of people waited behind Fred. It would take forever before he could help Lek! Lek took matches and lit the candle on his tiny boat. He lowered his krathong toward the water, stretching to reach its surface. 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右。 2.请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 Suddenly, he felt his body shaking on the edge and the krathong dropped from his hand into the dark water. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Fred walked towards weeping Lek with a krathong in his hand. _____________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Suddenly, he felt his body shaking on the edge and the krathong dropped from his hand into the dark water. It rocked on the surface for a moment before tipping on its side. Lek held his breath as the light from the candle flickered. Then it disappeared. Lek’s throat stiffened, tears flooding his eyes. He nearly lost his balance again as he reached toward the river, but it was no use. The wake splashed against the banana leaves and turned the tiny boat upside down. Lek’s tears dropped into the river as he watched Katia’s krathong drift beneath the jetty. Fred walked toward weeping Lek with a krathong in his hand. Fred asked, “What’s wrong?” Lek explained the whole thing. Having heard this, Fred said, “Lek, let’s launch a krathong for Katia together.” Lek nodded, wiping his eyes. Under the guidance of Fred, Lek placed the boat on the edge of his pole, and then inched the boat down into the dark water until it floated on the waves and began its journey to the sea. He thought about Katia lying in bed at home and made his own silent wish. The krathong floated into the current, its candle bright as it sailed down the river. Lek and Fred smiled as they listened to the tiny waves lapping the jetty, convinced that their sister would be better and better. 【解析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了莱克和哥哥弗雷德在水灯节的时候去河边放水灯，结果莱克的水灯沉没了，莱克十分伤心，好在后来哥哥指导他，终于成功放了水灯。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“突然，他觉得自己的身体在河沿上颤抖，水灯从他手中掉到了黑暗的水中。”可知，第一段可描写莱克的水灯沉没，他十分伤心。 ②由第二段首句内容“弗雷德手里拿着一水灯，朝哭泣的莱克走去。”可知，第二段可描写哥哥指导莱克放水灯。 2.续写线索：水灯沉没——莱克伤心——弗雷德帮助——取得成功——许愿——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 解释：explain/illustrate 消失：disappear/vanish 掉落：drop/fall 放置：place/put 情绪类 确信：convinced/sure [高分句型1] Lek held his breath as the light from the candle flickered.
