His friends thought he was mad. But he felt it was his inner calling to record the history of the place. Since moving to Port Royal in 1964, he has lived as if he were in the 19th century, writing by hand and ploughing his fields with horses. His eight novels and more than 50 short stories are usually set in Port William, a stand-in (代替物) for Port Royal. Nick Offerman, an actor, wanted to adapt his work for the screen. However, the actor was refused. In Mr Berry’s opinion, humans must take care of the earth that grants them life. “The soil is the greatest connector of lives,” he has written. “Without proper care for it we can have no community.” This philosophy dominates his writings. In The Unsettling of America, published in 1977, Mr Berry criticized the natural damage caused by large agribusinesses. He thinks capitalism has separated farming from culture and disconnected people from nature. Mr Berry’s fiction explores the decline of values by following Port William’s interconnected clans (家族) as they enter the modern age. In Dismemberment, a short story, Andy Catlett loses a hand to a harvesting machine and becomes a loner. He sees his withdrawal is mistaken and reconnects with the town, finding “the wealth of an intimate history” in belonging to “his ancestral place”. In Hannah Coulter, Mr Berry’s seventh novel, the main character Hannah Coulter grows old after a sad life and anticipates loneliness when her children leave to find work in the city. Instead her hope is restored when her grandson returns to run the farm. These stories offer insightful advice for readers living through ecological disaster. Though few can return to farming basics, Mr Berry’s messages of building communities, being a good neighbor and resisting the invitation of modern life are still valuable. 4. Why did Mr Berry’s friends think he was mad? A. He moved to live in the countryside. B. He turned down Offerman’s request. C. He wrote most of his novels by hand. D. He gave up his career as an intellectual. 5. What do Mr Berry’s writings often imply? A. The challenges of farming in old days. B. The harmony between man and nature. C. The real benefits of large agribusinesses. D. The hard lives of his forebears in Kentucky. 6. What do Andy Catlett and Hannah Coulter have in common? A. They are from the same novel. B. They both choose to live alone. C. They are victims of country life. D. They both find their values again. 7. What would be the best title for the text? A. Wendell Berry: a rural writer living a modern life B. Wendell Berry: a strong voice for modern farming C. Discover why Wendell Berry’s rural tales shine D. Find out how Wendell Berry adapts to new environments 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Wendell Berry搬到农村去住，他觉得记录这个地方的历史是他内心的召唤。在此期间他创作了许多作品，在Berry先生看来，人类必须爱护赋予他们生命的地球。他认为资本主义使农业与文化分离，使人与自然分离。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Wendell Berry was almost 30 when he packed up his life as a New York intellectual and moved to Port Royal, a tiny community in Kentucky where generations of his forebears (祖先) had farmed the land. His friends thought he was mad.(Wendell Berry快30岁时结束了他在纽约的作家生涯，搬到了肯塔基州的一个小社区——罗亚尔港，他的祖先几代人都在这里耕种。他的朋友们都认为他疯了)”可知，Berry先生的朋友们认为他疯了因为他搬到农村去住了。故选A项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“In The Unsettling of America, published in 1977, Mr Berry criticized the natural damage caused by large agribusinesses. He thinks capitalism has separated farming from culture and disconnected people from nature.(在1977年出版的《美国的不安》一书中，Berry批评了大型农业综合企业造成的自然破坏。他认为资本主义使农业与文化分离，使人与自然分离)”可知，Berry先生的作品通常暗示了人与自然的和谐。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“In Dismemberment, a short story, Andy Catlett loses a hand to a harvesting machine and becomes a loner. He sees his withdrawal is mistaken and reconnects with the town, finding ‘the wealth of an intimate history’ in belonging to ‘his ancestral place’. In Hannah Coulter, Mr Berry’s seventh novel, the main character Hannah Coulter grows old after a sad life and anticipates loneliness when her children leave to find work in the city. Instead her hope is restored when her grandson returns to run the farm.(在短篇小说《肢解》中，安迪·卡特利特被收割机夺去了一只手，成为了一个孤独的人。他发现自己的撤退是错误的，并重新与小镇联系起来，发现‘祖籍的家族历史财富’。在Berry先生的第七部小说《汉娜·库尔特》中，主人公汉娜·库尔特在经历了一段悲伤的生活后变老，并预料到当她的孩子们去城市找工作时，她会感到孤独。相反，当她的孙子回来经营农场时，她的希望又恢复了)”可知，卡特利特和库尔特的共同点在于两者都重新找到了自己的价值。故选D项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“These stories offer insightful advice for readers living through ecological disaster. Though few can return to farming basics, Mr Berry’s messages of building communities, being a good neighbor and resisting the invitation of modern life are still valuable.(这些故事为生活在生态灾难中的读者提供了深刻的建议。虽然很少有人能回到农耕的基础，但Berry先生所传达的建立社区、做一个好邻居以及抵制现代生活邀请的信息仍然很有价值)”以及上文内容可知，文章主要讲述了Wendell Berry搬到农村去住，他觉得记录这个地方的历史是他内心的召唤。在此期间他创作了许多作品，在Berry先生看来，人类必须爱护赋予他们生命的地球。他认为资本主义使农业与文化分离，使人与自然分离。所以C选项Discover why Wendell Berry’s rural tales shine(探索Wendell Berry的乡村故事为何大放异彩)最符合文章标题。故选C项。 C Years ago, I bought a blouse. That same day, I considered putting it on, but for no particular reason I decided not to. That weekend, I again considered wearing the blouse, but the occasion didn’t seem special enough, so again, I passed it up. Fast forward to today, I have never worn that blouse. What happened here? Why do people own so many unused possessions, treating them as though they are too special to use? To find out, I ran an experiment in which participants imagined buying a bottle of wine. We had half of the participants imagine considering opening it one night, but deciding not to. Then when we measured how special the wine seemed and participants’ intentions to open it later, we found that those who had imagined holding off on opening it were in fact less likely to intend to open it later. When asked the reason, most assumed they were waiting for a future occasion to open it — a more special occasion. Why do people fall into this mental trap? Prior research points to two main reasons. First, when options are presented one at a time, rather than all at once, it can be difficult to know when to make a decision. So people often end up “holding out” for an idealized future occasion. Second, regardless of the actual reasons behind their feelings and actions, people often come up with their own explanations after the fact. Putting these together is a recipe for what psychologists term “specialness spirals”. When you give up using something — for whatever reason — if you believe that you are waiting to use it, the possession will start to feel more special. And as you search for the right occasion day after day, it becomes more tempting to hold out for a future occasion. The less you use it, though, the more special it feels, and the cycle continues. Ultimately, the likelihood of using the possession becomes rarer and rarer. The more this happens, the more stuff you have lying around. How can you fight specialness spirals? Try committing in advance to using an item on a specific occasion. When buying a dress, tell yourself you’ll wear it this weekend. Or when purchasing a candle, plan to light it that day. This strategy encourages you to actually enjoy your possessions. 8. What were the participants asked to imagine doing in the experiment? A. Putting off drinking the wine. B. Evaluating the quality of the wine. C. Listing reasons for drinking the wine. D. Discussing how they would deal with the wine. 9. What does the underlined word “tempting” in paragraph 5 mean? A. Particular. B. Ordinary. C. Inviting. D. Unappealing. 10. What can we learn about specialness spirals? A. They can mislead people into shopping traps. B. They can lead to a collection of unused stuff. C. They result from an optimistic attitude to the future. D. They help explain the psychology of delayed rewards. 11. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To explain a psychological phenomenon. B. To criticize a wrong consumption concept. C. To remind people to enjoy their possessions. D. To encourage people to prepare for a rainy day. 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章通过作者自身经历引入并解释一种心理现象——为什么人们会拥有许多未使用过的物品，并将它们视为过于特别而不愿使用，即“特殊螺旋”效应，并提出对抗这一现象的策略。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第二段中“To find out, I ran an experiment in which participants imagined buying a bottle of wine. We had half of the participants imagine considering opening it one night, but deciding not to. Then when we measured how special the wine seemed and participants’ intentions to open it later, we found that those who had imagined holding off on opening it were in fact less likely to intend to open it later.(为了找出答案，我做了一个实验，让参与者想象自己买了一瓶葡萄酒。我们让一半的参与者想象有一天晚上考虑打开它，但最终决定不打开。然后，当我们测量葡萄酒的特殊程度，以及参与者稍后打开它的意愿时，我们发现，那些想象过要推迟打开它的人，实际上不太可能打算稍后打开它。)”可知，在实验中，参与者被要求想象购买了一瓶酒并将推迟喝那瓶酒。故选A项。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。由文章第五段“And as you search for the right occasion day after day, it becomes more tempting to hold out for a future occasion. The less you use it, though, the more special it feels, and the cycle continues. Ultimately, the likelihood of using the possession becomes rarer and rarer. The more this happens, the more stuff you have lying around.(当你日复一日地寻找合适的场合时，为未来的场合坚持下去变得更加 。然而，你使用它的次数越少，它的感觉就越特别，循环也在继续。最终，使用该东西的可能性越来越小。这种情况发生得越多，你周围的东西就越多。)”可知，最终人们会因为这东西特别而不会使用它，由此推知这里表示“为未来的场合坚持下去决定变得更加有吸引力”，所以猜测tempting表“诱人的;吸引人的”意思，与C项Inviting(吸引人的)意思相近。故选C项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第五段中“Putting these together is a recipe for what psychologists term “specialness spirals”. When you give up using something－for whatever reason－if you believe that you are waiting to use it, the possession will start to feel more special. And as you search for the right occasion day after day, it becomes more tempting to hold out for a future occasion. The less you use it, though, the more special it feels, and the cycle continues. Ultimately, the likelihood of using the possession becomes rarer and rarer. The more this happens, the more stuff you have lying around.(把这些放在一起就是心理学家所说的“特殊螺旋”的秘诀。当你放弃使用某物时——无论出于什么原因——如果你相信你正在等待使用它，那么拥有它就会开始感觉更特别。当你日复一日地寻找合适的场合时，为未来的场合坚持下去变得更加诱人。然而，你使用它的次数越少，它的感觉就越特别，循环也在继续。最终，使用该东西的可能性越来越小。这种情况发生得越多，你周围的东西就越多。)”可知，“特殊螺旋”指的是人们因期待更特殊场合而不断推迟使用某物品的心理现象，这会导致物品越积越多却未被使用。故选B项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第一段“Years ago, I bought a blouse. That same day, I considered putting it on, but for no particular reason I decided not to. That weekend, I again considered wearing the blouse, but the occasion didn’t seem special enough, so again, I passed it up. Fast forward to today, I have never worn that blouse. (几年前，我买了一件衬衫。同一天，我考虑穿上它，但没有特别的原因，我决定不穿。那个周末，我再次考虑穿这件衬衫，但这个场合似乎不够特别，所以我再次拒绝了。快进到今天，我从来没有穿过那件衬衫。)”可知，文章的主要目的是通过作者自身经历引入并解释一种心理现象——为什么人们会拥有许多未使用过的物品，并将它们视为过于特别而不愿使用，即“特殊螺旋”效应，并提出对抗这一现象的策略。故选A项。 D The expression “Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration (汗水)” is often attributed to Thomas Edison. But as we have progressed into the 21st century, I think we should update the saying: “Success is 1% inspiration and 99% preparation.” Indeed, ideas are shooting around faster than ever, but most are worthless because no one does the hard work to implement them. And as we’re in a service economy now, implementation requires hours and hours not of sweat but of preparation. You must do it all: reading, researching, falling into one rabbit hole after another on the Internet to find the right series of test cases and quotes to make your point, and presenting your idea briefly and clearly. Preparation is everything! Watch the amazing 2021 video of the Perseverance rover landing on the surface of Mars. The onboard camera shows the terrain (地形). After the landing, I’m pretty sure one of the scientists exclaims, “Hey, that’s my rock.” In mission preparation, the entire landing area was digitized. The planners knew the placement of every rock and dip in terrain. Churchill famously memorized his speeches and practiced giving them over and over in his bathtub. Some of this was to overcome his stutter (口吃), but it was mainly to get the tone just right. Nothing was off-the-cuff (即兴的). His speeches didn’t sound like they were read from a piece of paper; they felt stream of consciousness. In his finest hours he showed the value of preparation. But, you may ask, why put in any extra effort? ChatGPT can pass Advanced Placement tests, entry exams for law and medical school, and even the bar exam. That probably says more about how poor those tests are than about AI’s ability. But even though AI can answer almost any question you throw at it, it is worthless in an elevator when your boss asks you what you think about new product ideas or sales prospects in Omaha. The only answer comes from that 99% preparation. Study everything, not only the task you’ve been assigned. Dig deep. Come up with ideas and potential solutions. Work on an elevator speech for what excites you. Don’t wing it. Prepare. And trust me, the feeling you get from preparation-induced success is better than anything you can buy at a drugstore. Preparation will make you super great. 12. What can we learn from paragraph 2? A. The service economy makes ideas worthless. B. Implementation does not take much time these days. C. Ideas are worthless without preparation and hard work. D. Implementation requires more inspiration than preparation. 13. How does the author try to persuade readers to accept his argument? A. By listing examples. B. By sharing his experience. C. By providing research results. D. By referring to experts’ words. 14. What point is the author trying to make by mentioning ChatGPT? A. ChatGPT is capable of passing various tests. B. Preparation can help you perform better than AI. C. Elevator conversations require high social skills. D. Standard tests do not fully represent one’s abilities. 15. What does the text mainly talk about? A. How we can achieve success with little sweat. B. How we should make preparation for our future. C. Why perspiration still maters in the 21st century. D. Why preparation can pave the way to your success. 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。本文强调成功更多依赖于99%的准备而非灵感，通过爱迪生名言的更新、火星车着陆准备、丘吉尔演讲准备等例子，论证了充分准备对于成功的重要性。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“Indeed, ideas are shooting around faster than ever, but most are worthless because no one does the hard work to implement them. (事实上，想法的传播速度比以往任何时候都快，但大多数想法都毫无价值，因为没有人努力实施它们)”可知，没有准备和努力的想法是无价值的。故选C项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段中的“Watch the amazing 2021 video of the Perseverance rover landing on the surface of Mars. (观看2021年毅力号火星车在火星表面着陆的精彩视频)”和第三段中的“In mission preparation, the entire landing area was digitized. The planners knew the placement of every rock and dip in terrain. (在任务准备过程中，整个着陆区都被数字化了。规划者知道每一块岩石的位置和地形的倾角)”以及第四段中的“Churchill famously memorized his speeches and practiced giving them over and over in his bathtub. Some of this was to overcome his stutter (口吃), but it was mainly to get the tone just right. Nothing was off-the-cuff (即兴的). (丘吉尔以熟记演讲而闻名，并在浴缸里反复练习演讲。其中一些是为了克服他的口吃，但主要是为了让语气恰到好处。没有什么是即兴的)”可知，作者在文章中通过列举多个例子来支持他的观点，如Perseverance火星探测器着陆前的详尽准备，以及丘吉尔对演讲的精心准备等。故选A项。 14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第五段中的“But even though AI can answer almost any question you throw at it, it is worthless in an elevator when your boss asks you what you think about new product ideas or sales prospects in Omaha. (但是，尽管人工智能几乎可以回答你提出的任何问题，但当你的老板问你对奥马哈的新产品创意或销售前景有何看法时，它在电梯里毫无价值)”可知，在实际的工作场景中，如电梯里老板询问你对新产品想法或销售前景的看法时，AI是无能为力的。这实际上是在突出准备和人的能力的重要性，即准备可以让你在需要时表现得比AI更好。故选B项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段中的“But as we have progressed into the 21st century, I think we should update the saying: “Success is 1% inspiration and 99% preparation.” (但随着我们进入21世纪，我认为我们应该更新这句话：“成功是1%的灵感和99%的准备。”)”以及最后一段中的“The only answer comes from that 99% preparation. (唯一的答案来自99%的准备)”和“ Preparation will make you super great. (准备会让你变得超级棒)”可知，作者认为成功不仅仅是靠灵感，更重要的是准备，整篇文章主要围绕“准备”这一主题展开，通过多个例子和论述来强调准备对于成功的重要性。故选D项。 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 There are different ways to learn and grow, but all of them involve getting feedback about how you are doing. ___16___ But whether it is positive or negative, it can bring a lot of value to your personal development. Why ask for feedback? Because it is the only way you can see yourself through another person’s eyes. You can look at your own work and skills but not see the truth. Sometimes, it’s because you get used to devaluing what you do. At other times, it’s because you overestimate your own ability. ___17___ Here is how you can make this a regular part of your life. You should ask other people what they think and how they see you. ___18___ However, making a habit of it takes the sting out of the experience and allows you to focus on what truly matters. ___19___You don’ have to focus only on the bad things or what is not working. You also need to hear what is going well. What is working is as important as what is not. Don’t be afraid to ask for positive feedback, either. There are a couple of things you can do to ensure you are getting authentic feedback. First, approach people when they are willing to talk to you. ___20___ Second, don’t get angry. When you ask for feedback, you might hear unpleasant things. They may be ridiculous or hurtful, but that’s fine. Thank the person and decide whether the feedback is useful or not. A. Tell different kinds of feedback apart. B. Hearing about yourself may cause some anxiety. C. Be sure to request positive and negative feedback. D. Either way, feedback is of great significance to your growth. E. But you can’t control what feedback others choose to give you. F. Don’t, for example, disturb them when they are rushing or have a lot of stress. G. This can be scary because others will not just say nice things or what you want to hear. 【答案】16. B 17. D 18. G 19. C 20. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述的是寻求反馈的重要性以及如何有效地将其融入个人成长和生活中。 【16题详解】 空前“There are different ways to learn and grow, but all of them involve getting feedback about how you are doing.(学习和成长的方式有很多，但所有的方式都涉及到获得关于你做得如何的反馈。)”说明了对自己做得如何的反馈是学习和成长的方式，空后“But whether it is positive or negative, it can bring a lot of value to your personal development.(但无论是积极的还是消极的，它都能给你的个人发展带来很多价值。)”中的but表转折，说明无论是积极的还是消极的反馈，它都可以给你的个人发展带来很多价值，因此空格处应该说反馈会给人带来不好的感觉，B选项“Hearing about yourself may cause some anxiety.(听到关于你自己的事情可能会引起一些焦虑。)”说明听到关于自己的反馈会引起焦虑，因此承上启下，符合语境，故选B。 【17题详解】 空前“Why ask for feedback? Because it is the only way you can see yourself through another person’s eyes. You can look at your own work and skills but not see the truth. Sometimes, it’s because you get used to devaluing what you do. At other times, it’s because you overestimate your own ability.(为什么要寻求反馈？因为只有这样，你才能通过别人的眼睛看到自己。你可以看到自己的工作和技能，但看不到真相。有时候，是因为你习惯了贬低自己的价值。有时候，这是因为你高估了自己的能力。)”说明的是要获得反馈的原因，D选项“Either way, feedback is of great significance to your growth.(无论哪种方式，反馈对你的成长都非常重要。)”说明了要寻求反馈是因为反馈对成长很重要，这就是为什么要获得反馈，因此承接上文，符合语境，故选D。 【18题详解】 空前“You should ask other people what they think and how they see you.(你应该问问别人对你的看法和他们如何看待你。)”说明了你应该问别人对自己的看法，空格处应该对这一做法进行评论，结合空后的“However, making a habit of it takes the sting out of the experience and allows you to focus on what truly matters.(然而，养成这样的习惯可以让你从痛苦中解脱出来，让你专注于真正重要的事情。)”可知，此空讲述的内容与空后的内容为转折关系，G选项“This can be scary because others will not just say nice things or what you want to hear.(这可能是可怕的，因为其他人不会只说好话或你想听的话。)”说明问别人对自己的看法可能是可怕的，是对空前做法的评论，因此承接上文，且与空后的内容为转折关系，符合逻辑。故选G。 【19题详解】 空格处是本段主题句，空后“You don’ have to focus only on the bad things or what is not working. You also need to hear what is going well.(你不必只关注不好的事情。你还需要了解进展顺利的地方。)”说明了既要关注不好的方面，也要关注好的方面，C选项“Be sure to request positive and negative feedback.(一定要要求积极和消极的反馈。)”说明了要寻求积极的和消极的反馈，概括了本段内容，可作为本段主题句，故选C。 【20题详解】 空前“First, approach people when they are willing to talk to you.(首先，在人们愿意和你说话的时候接近他们。)”说明了在人们愿意和你说话的时候接触对方，空格处应该说在得到他人反馈时的正确做法，F选项“Don’t, for example, disturb them when they are rushing or have a lot of stress.(例如，当他们赶时间或有很大压力时，不要打扰他们。)”说明了当别人赶时间时不要打扰他们，是获得反馈的正确做法，因此承接上文，符合语境。故选F。 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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 My 5-year-old daughter Kai walked around a bus stop in Finland, picking up candy wrappers and plastic bottles and putting them in the waste bin.

An hour later, he noticed a little bike lying beside the road. And a small pink water bottle was lying nearby. He leaned closer and noticed fresh little muddy footprints disappearing into the woods. “What would a kid be doing here all alone?” Richard was puzzled. Anxious, he followed the footprints and walked into the forest. Richard sensed something was wrong, so he called out repeatedly, “Hello, anyone there?” Finally, he heard a faint cry from the heart of the woods. It was a little girl’s cry for help. “Help... I’m stuck...” the girl replied. “I’m coming. Hold on!” Richard yelled back. As he approached nearer and nearer, he heard a trickling (小股流淌的) sound at a distance and then a loud roar. “Oh, my goodness!” he whispered. Tree branches turned around on the muddy-brown river; the strong current rushed through the rocks. “Don’t give up! I’m coming!” he screamed after noticing a little girl and a dog holding onto a log floating on the river. The girl ended up being stuck there after trying to save her dog which ran away from home and fell into the river. The current was washing away everything on its course. Although the girl was lucky the log was stuck onto something under the surface, that wouldn’t hold on for long as the current grew faster and stronger. Richard was running out of time. He couldn’t think of anything immediately. He didn’t know how to pull the two out to the shore before they were washed toward the edge of the waterfall, which was just meters away. “HELP!” the girl screamed again. Just then, Richard’s mind acted fast, and he ran back to get something. “Hold on! I’ll be right back,” he replied. Moments later, Richard returned with a very long, thick jungle vine (藤). He had one end of the vine tied around his waist and had the other end around a tree near the river. 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。 He jumped into the river and swam toward them. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Hold me tight!” he said, carrying the girl in the water. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】He jumped into the river and swam toward them. The current was stronger than he had expected, and since the water was muddy, he could not see clearly. But he kept going, swimming through the fierce water. As he neared the struggling pair, he reached out with one arm, grabbing the dog’s collar while using his other hand to steady the log. The dog screamed in surprise but stopped struggling, sensing the help. With the dog secure, Richard turned his attention to the girl. She was pale and shivering. With a mighty effort, he wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her close to him. “Hold me tight!” he said, carrying the girl in the water. The girl’s arms wrapped around his neck, her grip tight and desperate. Richard kicked harder, using all his strength to battle the raging river. Inch by inch, they made progress. Finally, they made it to the shore. Exhausted, they lay onto the bank, coughing up water and gasping for breath. The dog shook the water off, rubbing against Richard’s face to show gratitude. The girl looked at him, tears rolling down her face, and whispered, “Thank you.” Richard was glad that he showed up and saved them in time. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，以人物为线索。Richard偶然发现了在森林深处一个女孩和一条狗掉进了河里，看到这危急的一幕，Richard跳进河里努力将女孩和狗救了出来。他很高兴自己及时出现并救了女孩和狗。 【详解】1. 续写线索： ①由续写第一段首句“他跳进河里向他们游去。”可知，第一段可以描写Richard下水接近女孩和狗的艰难经过。 ②由续写第二段首句“‘抱紧我！’他说，在水里抱着女孩。”可知，第二段可以描写Richard接到女孩和狗后将她们安全送到岸上。 2. 段落续写： Richard跳进河里——抓到狗和女孩——将狗和女孩安全送上岸——感激Richard 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①抓住：grab/grasp/get hold of ②颤抖：shiver/tremble ③出现：show up/turn up/appear 情绪类 ①惊讶地：in surprise/surprisedly ②绝望的：desperate/hopeless ③感激：gratitude/thankfulness 【点睛】【高分句型1】The current was stronger than he had expected, and since the water was muddy, he could not see clearly.(使用了than引导比较状语从句，since引导原因状语从句) 【高分句型2】As he neared the struggling pair, he reached out with one arm, grabbing the dog’s collar while using his other hand to steady the log. (使用了as引导时间状语从句，现在分词分别作前置定语和状语，while时间状语从句的省略，不定式作目的状语) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024~2025学年第一学期高三期初调研模拟测试 英语 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两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?

His friends thought he was mad. But he felt it was his inner calling to record the history of the place. Since moving to Port Royal in 1964, he has lived as if he were in the 19th century, writing by hand and ploughing his fields with horses. His eight novels and more than 50 short stories are usually set in Port William, a stand-in (代替物) for Port Royal. Nick Offerman, an actor, wanted to adapt his work for the screen. However, the actor was refused. In Mr Berry’s opinion, humans must take care of the earth that grants them life. “The soil is the greatest connector of lives,” he has written. “Without proper care for it we can have no community.” This philosophy dominates his writings. In The Unsettling of America, published in 1977, Mr Berry criticized the natural damage caused by large agribusinesses. He thinks capitalism has separated farming from culture and disconnected people from nature. Mr Berry’s fiction explores the decline of values by following Port William’s interconnected clans (家族) as they enter the modern age. In Dismemberment, a short story, Andy Catlett loses a hand to a harvesting machine and becomes a loner. He sees his withdrawal is mistaken and reconnects with the town, finding “the wealth of an intimate history” in belonging to “his ancestral place”. In Hannah Coulter, Mr Berry’s seventh novel, the main character Hannah Coulter grows old after a sad life and anticipates loneliness when her children leave to find work in the city. Instead her hope is restored when her grandson returns to run the farm. These stories offer insightful advice for readers living through ecological disaster. Though few can return to farming basics, Mr Berry’s messages of building communities, being a good neighbor and resisting the invitation of modern life are still valuable. 4. Why did Mr Berry’s friends think he was mad? A. He moved to live in the countryside. B. He turned down Offerman’s request. C. He wrote most of his novels by hand. D. He gave up his career as an intellectual. 5. What do Mr Berry’s writings often imply? A. The challenges of farming in old days. B. The harmony between man and nature. C. The real benefits of large agribusinesses. D. The hard lives of his forebears in Kentucky. 6. What do Andy Catlett and Hannah Coulter have in common? A. They are from the same novel. B. They both choose to live alone. C. They are victims of country life. D. They both find their values again. 7. What would be the best title for the text? A. Wendell Berry: a rural writer living a modern life B. Wendell Berry: a strong voice for modern farming C. Discover why Wendell Berry’s rural tales shine D. Find out how Wendell Berry adapts to new environments C Years ago, I bought a blouse. That same day, I considered putting it on, but for no particular reason I decided not to. That weekend, I again considered wearing the blouse, but the occasion didn’t seem special enough, so again, I passed it up. Fast forward to today, I have never worn that blouse. What happened here? Why do people own so many unused possessions, treating them as though they are too special to use? To find out, I ran an experiment in which participants imagined buying a bottle of wine. We had half of the participants imagine considering opening it one night, but deciding not to. Then when we measured how special the wine seemed and participants’ intentions to open it later, we found that those who had imagined holding off on opening it were in fact less likely to intend to open it later. When asked the reason, most assumed they were waiting for a future occasion to open it — a more special occasion. Why do people fall into this mental trap? Prior research points to two main reasons. First, when options are presented one at a time, rather than all at once, it can be difficult to know when to make a decision. So people often end up “holding out” for an idealized future occasion. Second, regardless of the actual reasons behind their feelings and actions, people often come up with their own explanations after the fact. Putting these together is a recipe for what psychologists term “specialness spirals”. When you give up using something — for whatever reason — if you believe that you are waiting to use it, the possession will start to feel more special. And as you search for the right occasion day after day, it becomes more tempting to hold out for a future occasion. The less you use it, though, the more special it feels, and the cycle continues. Ultimately, the likelihood of using the possession becomes rarer and rarer. The more this happens, the more stuff you have lying around. How can you fight specialness spirals? Try committing in advance to using an item on a specific occasion. When buying a dress, tell yourself you’ll wear it this weekend. Or when purchasing a candle, plan to light it that day. This strategy encourages you to actually enjoy your possessions. 8. What were the participants asked to imagine doing in the experiment? A. Putting off drinking the wine. B. Evaluating the quality of the wine. C. Listing reasons for drinking the wine. D. Discussing how they would deal with the wine. 9. What does the underlined word “tempting” in paragraph 5 mean? A. Particular. B. Ordinary. C. Inviting. D. Unappealing. 10. What can we learn about specialness spirals? A. They can mislead people into shopping traps. B. They can lead to a collection of unused stuff. C. They result from an optimistic attitude to the future. D. They help explain the psychology of delayed rewards. 11. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To explain a psychological phenomenon. B. To criticize a wrong consumption concept. C. To remind people to enjoy their possessions. D. To encourage people to prepare for a rainy day. D The expression “Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration (汗水)” is often attributed to Thomas Edison. But as we have progressed into the 21st century, I think we should update the saying: “Success is 1% inspiration and 99% preparation.” Indeed, ideas are shooting around faster than ever, but most are worthless because no one does the hard work to implement them. And as we’re in a service economy now, implementation requires hours and hours not of sweat but of preparation. You must do it all: reading, researching, falling into one rabbit hole after another on the Internet to find the right series of test cases and quotes to make your point, and presenting your idea briefly and clearly. Preparation is everything! Watch the amazing 2021 video of the Perseverance rover landing on the surface of Mars. The onboard camera shows the terrain (地形). After the landing, I’m pretty sure one of the scientists exclaims, “Hey, that’s my rock.” In mission preparation, the entire landing area was digitized. The planners knew the placement of every rock and dip in terrain. Churchill famously memorized his speeches and practiced giving them over and over in his bathtub. Some of this was to overcome his stutter (口吃), but it was mainly to get the tone just right. Nothing was off-the-cuff (即兴的). His speeches didn’t sound like they were read from a piece of paper; they felt stream of consciousness. In his finest hours he showed the value of preparation. But, you may ask, why put in any extra effort? ChatGPT can pass Advanced Placement tests, entry exams for law and medical school, and even the bar exam. That probably says more about how poor those tests are than about AI’s ability. But even though AI can answer almost any question you throw at it, it is worthless in an elevator when your boss asks you what you think about new product ideas or sales prospects in Omaha. The only answer comes from that 99% preparation. Study everything, not only the task you’ve been assigned. Dig deep. Come up with ideas and potential solutions. Work on an elevator speech for what excites you. Don’t wing it. Prepare. And trust me, the feeling you get from preparation-induced success is better than anything you can buy at a drugstore. Preparation will make you super great. 12 What can we learn from paragraph 2? A. The service economy makes ideas worthless. B. Implementation does not take much time these days. C. Ideas are worthless without preparation and hard work. D. Implementation requires more inspiration than preparation. 13. How does the author try to persuade readers to accept his argument? A. By listing examples. B. By sharing his experience. C. By providing research results. D. By referring to experts’ words. 14. What point is the author trying to make by mentioning ChatGPT? A. ChatGPT is capable of passing various tests. B. Preparation can help you perform better than AI. C. Elevator conversations require high social skills. D. Standard tests do not fully represent one’s abilities. 15. What does the text mainly talk about? A. How we can achieve success with little sweat. B. How we should make preparation for our future. C. Why perspiration still maters in the 21st century. D. Why preparation can pave the way to your success. 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 There are different ways to learn and grow, but all of them involve getting feedback about how you are doing. ___16___ But whether it is positive or negative, it can bring a lot of value to your personal development. Why ask for feedback? Because it is the only way you can see yourself through another person’s eyes. You can look at your own work and skills but not see the truth.

You should ask other people what they think and how they see you. ___18___ However, making a habit of it takes the sting out of the experience and allows you to focus on what truly matters. ___19___You don’ have to focus only on the bad things or what is not working.

An hour later, he noticed a little bike lying beside the road. And a small pink water bottle was lying nearby. He leaned closer and noticed fresh little muddy footprints disappearing into the woods. “What would a kid be doing here all alone?” Richard was puzzled. Anxious, he followed the footprints and walked into the forest. Richard sensed something was wrong, so he called out repeatedly, “Hello, anyone there?” Finally, he heard a faint cry from the heart of the woods. It was a little girl’s cry for help. “Help... I’m stuck...” the girl replied. “I’m coming. Hold on!” Richard yelled back. As he approached nearer and nearer, he heard a trickling (小股流淌的) sound at a distance and then a loud roar. “Oh, my goodness!” he whispered. Tree branches turned around on the muddy-brown river; the strong current rushed through the rocks. “Don’t give up! I’m coming!” he screamed after noticing a little girl and a dog holding onto a log floating on the river. The girl ended up being stuck there after trying to save her dog which ran away from home and fell into the river. The current was washing away everything on its course. Although the girl was lucky the log was stuck onto something under the surface, that wouldn’t hold on for long as the current grew faster and stronger. Richard was running out of time. He couldn’t think of anything immediately. He didn’t know how to pull the two out to the shore before they were washed toward the edge of the waterfall, which was just meters away. “HELP!” the girl screamed again. Just then, Richard’s mind acted fast, and he ran back to get something. “Hold on! I’ll be right back,” he replied. Moments later, Richard returned with a very long, thick jungle vine (藤). He had one end of the vine tied around his waist and had the other end around a tree near the river. 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。 He jumped into the river and swam toward them. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Hold me tight!” he said, carrying the girl in the water. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
