We support children from underserved backgrounds to have inspiring discussions about the news, which teach them to creatively solve problems, listen with an open mind and speak with confidence. Children who take part in our programme, Topical Talk, can make significant measurable progress compared with their peers in these essential skills, which support them to thrive at school, in employment and as citizens. They practise these skills to engage with the news, learning to form nuanced views on complex issues and constructively have their say. This is especially important at a time of misinformation and polarisation. Our founding Chief Executive, Emily Evans, has decided to move on to tackle new challenges. She will step down next summer, and we are seeking a new Chief Executive to lead the charity as it embarks on a hugely exciting next phase of global growth. Topical Talk has expanded from a UK pilot in 2013 to reaching over 200,000 children across the world today, and we have ambitious plans for the next decade. We have an extraordinary platform to support our growth ambitions: a talented, highly motivated and supportive team; a collaborative, professional, high-trust culture; and clear strategic focus. We are looking for a leader who can build on this platform and realise our potential for scale at the same time as deepening our impact, ensuring that we always stay focused on making a meaningful difference in the lives of children who are most in need of extra support. If you have experience of scaling an organization while taking a collaborative, inclusive and empowering approach to leadership, and you are keen on our mission, we would love to hear from you. The role is based in The Economist’s headquarters in London at least two days per week. Find more information, including details of how to apply, here: economist foundation. org/chiefexecutive 1. What is the aim of The Economist Educational Foundation? A. To involve more citizens in an educational cause. B. To creatively solve global problems. C. To help disadvantaged children develop some core skills. D. To worldwide engage children in wiping out misinformation. 2. What is the charity’s future ambition? A. To boost its growth and influence. B. To cope with new challenges. C. To adopt an inclusive way. D. To move its base to London. 3. What key qualities are expected in the new Chief Executive? A. Being capable and bossy. B. Being modest and experienced. C. Being talented and diligent. D. Being enthusiastic and cooperative. B In 1983, Howard Blatt, an electrical engineer at MIT and a married father, collapsed in his kitchen due to a stroke (中风). This left him with a paralyzed arm and leg and severe aphasia. Aphasia does not affect intellect so some aphasia sufferers liken it to living in a prison within their own brain; their minds work, yet they are unable to express themselves or understand spoken or written language. The condition can prevent them from speaking, reading, writing or comprehending, sometimes a combination of those, sometimes all of them. At least 2 million people in the U. S. have aphasia, commonly as a result of stroke. Describing his condition, Blatt said: “No talking — zip. Speech — zip. One incident. Changed life.” Blatt adapted to his physical disabilities but never fully recovered. Discovering aid networks for people with aphasia were a rarity in the early 1980s, he co- founded the Aphasia Community Group in 1990 with his wife and others. It’s one of the oldest and largest support groups for aphasia patients and their families, offering services like concerts, book groups, health information, and companionship. Mary Borelli, a stroke survivor, described the group as a lifesaver, providing understanding and a sense of belonging. The group helps break the isolation. Jerry Kaplan, a co-founder and Boston University speech- language pathologist, noted that newcomers often express relief at finding others who share their struggles. Thousands have attended since its founding, finding a safe, comfortable space to connect. Blatt focused on regaining function. He moved from a wheelchair to a leg brace, re-camed his driver’s license, and documented cross-country trips. He also pursued sculpting, house restorations, and created a newsletter called The Aphasia Advocate. Within the Group, he was a role model of adaptability and determination. The Aphasia Community Group, which will celebrate its 35th anniversary next year, remains one of Blatt’s enduring legacies. Kaplan emphasized Blatt’s determination, saying “Though given a tough break in midlife, with young children, at the top of his game in his profession, and his communication gifts were largely wiped out, he did not give in to this for 40-plus years. And not only did he survive; he thrived.” 4. What is the second paragraph mainly about? A The consequences of a stroke. B. The huge aphasia sufferers. C The causes of a stroke. D. The symptoms of aphasia. 5. Why did they set up the Aphasia Community Group? A. To provides companionship for lonely people. B. To address the lack of support for aphasia sufferers. C. To work on a medical cure for aphasia. D. To answer the call of MIT. 6. According to the members, what is the significance of the Aphasia Community Group? A. It offers them financial assistance. B. It helps them regain their speech completely. C. It creates a caring community for them. D. It conducts extensive research on their conditions. 7. Which saying effectively highlights Howard Blatt’s life story? A. Turn lemons into lemonade. B. Let nature take its course. C. As you sow, so shall you reap. D. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. C What if there were no lemonade stands selling a cup for a quarter? No paychecks for parents and no allowances for kids? No library fines and no lottery jackpots? How about no tollbooths or parking meters or car payments — no cars at all for that matter, but we’ll get to that later. Imagine, too, if there were no coin tosses to decide who goes first. What would the tooth fairy leave under our pillow? If all this were true, language would be poorer as well. No one would feel like a million bucks. No one would give a penny for your thoughts. And what would be in your wallet? A toothpick, a picture, perhaps a love note, but no credit cards or cold hard cash. Instead of buying, you would have to grow or make whatever you might need. You would do a lot of physical labor in this moneyless world. Want a pair of pants? Then, raise some sheep, shear them, spin the yarn, weave the wool, and sew away. The complex process of manufacturing a car — mining coal, smelting iron, tempering steel, assembling a vehicle — makes it likely that you would have to ride a horse for transportation. You would live like a pioneer on the frontier, everyone more or less equal in the struggle to survive. To stressed-out modern Americans, this simple life may sound appealing, as it seems to create less waste and less greed. Instead of checks, people might spend time writing poems. No money means no rat race, the endless getting and spending, the pressure to keep up with neighbors and friends. In a moneyless world, families and neighbors depend on each other. And, you might have lots of brothers and sisters to share the work. Given how much time it takes to grow and make and fix things, swapping goods and services makes sense. If farmers grow wheat, millers may grind it in return for a share. Barter (物物交换) serves a local economy, but what if people want more — more comfort, more choices? What if they just want to wear something, anything, other than wool and animal skins? The desire for cloth fueled trade in the ancient world. Cotton grows only in warm climates; silkworms develop well in Asia. Traders can transport raw fibers or woven fabric from producers to consumers, but swapping does not work over long distances. Imagine pulling ham and eggs across continents. So, societies developed a portable alternative: money. Money is trust made visible. It does not matter what form it takes — bead or coin or byte in an electronic transaction. It simply represents an agreed-upon value. How did people ever live without it? 8. How does the writer introduce the topic? A. By describing a futuristic society B. By imagining a life without money C. By explaining the origin of money D. By detailing the history of bartering 9. What can we learn from the second paragraph? A. Society values money for its convenience. B. Money greatly enriches expressions. C. Money leads to social disorder. D. People prefer simplicity to money. 10. According to the passage, a moneyless world makes for ________. A. Equality B. Innovation C. Independence D. Competition 11. What is the author’s attitude towards the idea of a modern moneyless world? A. Carefree. B. Unclear. C. Disapproving. D. Supportive. D If a stranger offered you a free cookie, you might well eat it. But what if they offered to also give you$2? You might politely decline and walk away thinking, “Something smells fishy.” In a study published in Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, researchers found that people tend to turn down offers of “free money” as well as unusually high salaries or suspiciously cheap services because they seem“ too good to be true.” The research bridges economics and psychology to explain why financial attraction can backfire. In the initial experiment, nearly 40 percent of participants ate a cookie offered freely — compared with about 20 percent of those offered $2 as well. “People typically imagine things like that someone did something disgusting to the cookie,” says study lead author Andrew J. Vonasch, a psychological scientist at University of Canterbury in New Zealand. If someone seems to violate accepted norms such as self- interest without explanation, we assume they have hidden motives and infer there will be “phantom costs”: imagined consequences that reduce what Vonasch calls an offer’s “psychological value”. Factors beyond the present moment may come into play.“ Understanding that others’ noticeable overgenerosity may put us in their debt could also help explain people’s reluctance,” says Rachel McCloy, a psychologist studying decision-making at England’s University of Reading.“ The old maxim’ there’s no such thing as a free lunch’ is clearly alive and well.” Another experiment found that high scorers on measures of distrust inferred more phantom costs. The researchers also showed how to minimize the effect: simply provide a reason for the deal. The “cheap flights” experiment included a condition where the seats were revealed to be very uncomfortable.“ Uncomfortable seats aren’t typically a selling point,” Vonasch says. “But telling people the seats were uncomfortable made them more willing to take them because it was sufficient clarification.” 12. What is the meaning of the underlined word backfire in the second paragraph? A. Cause a positive outcome unexpectedly. B. Have the opposite effect of the one intended. C. Improve the effectiveness of a strategy. D. Enhance the value of an offer. 13. Why is the saying “there is no such thing as a free lunch” quoted in the last but one paragraph? A. To promote generosity in society. B. To serve as a supporting argument. C. To highlight hidden costs of generous offers. D. To remind people to be cautious of free items. 14. Which case can reduce “Phantom Costs”? A. Offering more money. B. Providing additional unrelated gifts. C. Discounting the price further. D. Giving a plausible explanation. 15. Which could be the best title of the text? A. Phantom Costs: Why Some Deals Seem Too Good to Be True B. Phantom Costs: What Is The Science of Financial Attraction C. Psychological Value: Why People Reject Free Money and Offer D. Psychological Value: How People interpret Overgenerosity in Deals 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分). Top tips from Life Kit on how to make your summer safer and brighter When it comes to bright ideas, our Life Kit experts have a lot of them. This month, they offered timely guidance on summer safety and science-backed strategies on how to boost memory and improve sleep. ● ____16____ One study found that changing your environment in a very simple way, like getting out of your office to work in the kitchen or go for a walk, contributes to your creativity. “Now, the creativity boost that you get from simply changing your environment lasts for only about six minutes. However, those six minutes could be quite important. ____17____ ” says Tali Sharot. If you have a ton on your mind as you’ re trying to fall asleep, quiet the chatter by writing a to-do list. Write out each issue or task and a specific next step that you will take tomorrow to address it, says Allison Harvey. ____18____ “Once people get into problem-solving, that becomes arousing.” ● If the temperature is in the high 90s and you don’t have air conditioning at home, go to a cooling center. “That might be something like a community center, a public library, a coffee shop, a movie theater or a mall,” says Paul Schramm. ____19____ ● Don’t want to forget where you parked your car? Slow down and focus on what you want to remember, says neuroscientist Lisa Genova. ____20____ “The first necessary ingredient in creating a longer-lasting memory is attention. We need that input — otherwise that memory doesn’t get made.” So if you can’t find your parking spot, you probably weren’t paying attention to it in the first place. A. When people complain about having memory problems, they’re often having focus problems. B. That could be the big eureka moment. C. You should have your phone nearby in case you need to call 911. D. Electric fans are not enough — they will just move around hot air. E. If you want to protect your home and loved ones, position your gas or charcoal grill in an open environment. F. If you need a breakthrough at work, move to a different location. G. Don’t try to actually fix the problem, though. 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) It’s one of those things that we don’t see coming and that make life so very interesting.

The produce from their garden was sold at the farmer’s market. This is how they made their living. Sumiko’s job was to make sure the daikon radish (白萝卜) plants were never too dry. Each day Sumiko would push her finger into the soil to test for moisture (水分), and then carefully water any plant that needed it. Sumiko often imagined the plants she tended were beautiful chrysanthemums (菊花), like Mrs. Higaki’s prize flowers. Sumiko envied (羡慕) Mrs. Higaki. If she could sell flowers like Mrs. Higaki, she would be able to buy things for her mother. But chrysanthemums were expensive to start, and Sumiko could only dream about growing them. One day, Sumiko visited Mrs. Higaki to see her flowers. Mrs. Higaki was checking her chrysanthemums when she arrived. The garden of flowers springing up excited Sumiko. “I wish I could grow beautiful chrysanthemums and win a prize at the festival like you.” “You?” Mrs. Higaki laughed. “Child, do you know what’s required to grow such flowers? The secret to growing prize chrysanthemums has been passed down to me from past generations of my family. And you?” She chuckled (轻声笑). “Stick to vegetables, child. Leave flowers to those who know the secret of flowers.” Mrs. Higaki returned to her gardening, ignoring the sad look on Sumiko’s face. Then she pulled up what looked like a weed (杂草). “What’s that?” Sumiko asked. “A shabby (破烂的) plant. Unworthy of my time — too weak to trouble,” Mrs. Higaki said before throwing the shabby plant into the field beside the garden. Sumiko smiled. She had an idea. She politely said goodbye to Mrs. Higaki and went out the garden gate, quickly picking up the shabby plant before rushing home. 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。 Sumiko found a quiet place and planted the shabby plant carefully. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On festival morning, Sumiko jumped with joy upon seeing her little plant flowering. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1-10 ACABBCAABB 11-20ACCAA CBCBC 2024年秋季鄂东南省级示范高中教育教学改革联盟学校起点考试 高二英语试卷 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，并标在试卷的相应位置。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.

Thank you! 第二节(满分25分) 【47题答案】 【答案】Sumiko found a quiet place and planted the shabby plant carefully. She watered it daily, nurturing it with care and attention. She imagined it would one day grow into a beautiful chrysanthemum, and she was determined to prove Mrs. Higaki wrong. With each passing day, the plant grew stronger and taller, but still it did not resemble a chrysanthemum. However, Sumiko did not give up, and she continued to care for it with love and patience. On festival morning, Sumiko jumped with joy upon seeing her little plant flowering. It was not a chrysanthemum, but a vibrant and unique bloom, its petals a soft pink with delicate white edges. She knew she had achieved something special. She took the flower to the festival, and although it did not win a prize, it did win the admiration of many. Mrs. Higaki, seeing Sumiko’s proud face and the unique flower, realized that the secret of flowers was not just passed down from generation to generation, but also found in the hearts of those who cared deeply for them. 1-10 ACABBCAABB 11-20ACCAA CBCBC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
