I chose the silver thread and images from traditional Chinese paintings- birds, flowers, hills and rocks- as the patterns. I also added window- frame patterns on the edge to give the entire piece the appearance of lacquerware,” she said. “It is the best- selling piece in our store, with 20,000 pieces sold so far,” Having designed nearly 500 sets of hanfu in just four years, Liu has managed to turn what was once a hobby into a stable source of income. She now runs a studio and focuses on designing horse- face skirts. “I hope that the hanfu pieces I designed can easily fit into people’s everyday lives. This is why I have prioritized horse- face skirts as my flagship (旗舰店) product,” Liu said, adding that the skirt is very adaptable, as it can be matched with tops and fits all age groups. Liu’s passion for hanfu began in college, where she admired the clothing but could barely afford it. Inspired by online design blueprints, she created her own, which a merchant bought for 300 yuan ($42), even before production. The buyer advised her to learn computer- aided design, leading her into the industry. In 2019, she opened a studio, later relocating to Xucun, which is closer to her fabric source. In her new studio, horse- face skirts feature a variety of patterns, such as fireworks, herbal medicines, blue and white porcelain, and Year of the Dragon images. “I draw inspiration mostly from traditional Chinese cultural elements, and at the same time, I integrate modern aesthetics (美学) into the design to highlight the younger generation’s understanding of hanfu,” Liu said. She has not only built a fan base domestically, but has also received orders for her skirts from overseas Chinese and international students. Orders have also been placed by foreigners who are interested in hanfu culture. 24. What inspired Liu Wenyue in designing the horse- face skirt according to Paragraph 2? A. The shell carving process. B. Landscape painting styles. C. Jade carving techniques. D. Traditional Chinese calligraphy. 25. What makes horse- face skirts the top choice for Liu’s flagship product? A. Their uniqueness. B. Their adaptability. C. Their cultural elements. D. Their affordable prices. 26. Why did Liu move her studio to Xucun? A. For better design blueprints. B. For better fabric access. C. To enlarge the production scale. D. To seek creative inspiration. 27. Which of the following can best describe Liu Wenyue? A. Passion moves the world. B. Wisdom comes with experience. C. Honesty is the best policy. D. Actions speak louder than words. 【答案】24. A 25. B 26. B 27. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了刘雯悦以传统文化元素为灵感，设计出畅销的马面裙，结合现代美学，受到国内外追捧。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“I drew inspiration from the shell carving process used to create mother- of- pearl lacquer (漆). (我从用于制作珍珠母漆的贝壳雕刻过程中获得灵感。)”可知，刘雯悦设计马面裙的灵感来源于贝壳雕刻工艺。故选A。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段““I hope that the hanfu pieces I designed can easily fit into people’s everyday lives. This is why I have prioritized horse- face skirts as my flagship (旗舰店) product,” Liu said, adding that the skirt is very adaptable, as it can be matched with tops and fits all age groups. (刘说：“我希望我设计的汉服能够很容易地融入人们的日常生活。这就是为什么我优先选择马面裙作为我的旗舰产品。”并补充说，这条裙子适应性很强，可以搭配上衣，适合所有年龄段的人。)”可知，马面裙成为旗舰店的首选，原因是马面裙具备很强的适应性。故选B。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“In 2019, she opened a studio, later relocating to Xucun, which is closer to her fabric source. (2019年，她开了一家工作室，后来搬到了离她的布料来源更近的许村。)”可知，刘把工作室搬到许村，是因为许村距离她的布料来源更近，可以更方便地使用布料。故选B。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Having designed nearly 500 sets of hanfu in just four years, Liu has managed to turn what was once a hobby into a stable source of income. (在短短四年内设计了近500套汉服后，刘成功地将曾经的爱好变成了稳定的收入来源。)”可知，刘将自己的爱好变成了自己的工作，成为自己的收入来源，由此可推知，热情可以推动世界。故选A。 C Artificial intelligence leader OpenAI introduced a new AI model called Sora which it claims can create “realistic” and “imaginative” 60-second videos from quick text prompts. In a blog post on Wednesday, the company said Sora is capable of generating videos up to 60 seconds in length from text instructions, with the ability to serve up scenes with multiple characters, specific types of motion, and detailed background details. “The model understands not only what the user has asked for in the prompt, but also how those things exist in the physical world,” the blog post said. OpenAI said it intends to train the AI models so it can “help people solve problems that require real- world interaction.” This is the latest effort from the company behind the viral chatbot ChatGPT, which continues to push the generative AI movement forward. Although “multi- modal models” are not new and text- to- video models already exist, what sets this apart is the length and accuracy that OpenAI claims Sora to have. It could have a big impact on digital entertainment markets with new personalized content being streamed across channels. One obvious use case is within TV, creating short scenes to support narratives. At the same time, OpenAI said Sora is still a work in progress with clear “weaknesses,” particularly when it comes to spatial details of a prompt- mixing up left and right- and cause and effect. It gave the example of creating a video of someone taking a bite out of a cookie but it not having a bite mark right after. For now, OpenAI’s messaging remains focused on safety. The company said it plans to work with a team of experts to test the latest model and look closely at various areas including misinformation, hateful content and bias. The company said it is also building tools to help detect misleading information. Sora will first be made available to cybersecurity professors, called “red teamers,” who can assess the product for harm or risks. Afterward, it is also preparing to provide access to some visual artists, designers, and filmmakers to gather feedback on how creative professionals are using it. 28. What does the underlined word “prompt” mean in the passage? A. Format. B. Instruction. C. Analysis. D. Production. 29 What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The abilities of Sora. B. The working principle of Sora. C. The importance of understanding AI. D. The history of video generation technology. 30. Why is the example of cookie biting mentioned in Paragraph 4? A. To stress the importance of spatial details in video generation. B. To emphasize Sora’s potential in creating entertaining videos. C. To show Sora’s weaknesses in understanding cause and effect. D. To highlight OpenAI’s progress in addressing Sora’s weaknesses. 31. Who will have initial access to Sora? A. Designers. B. Filmmakers. C. Visual artists. D. Cybersecurity experts. 【答案】28. B 29. A 30. C 31. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了OpenAI推出新AI模型Sora，能从简短文本提示创作出长达60秒的“逼真”和“富有想象力”的视频，可能对数字娱乐市场产生重大影响。 【28题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“Artificial intelligence leader OpenAI introduced a new AI model called Sora which it claims can create “realistic” and “imaginative” 60- second videos from quick text prompts.(人工智能领导者OpenAI推出了一种名为Sora的新人工智能模型，它声称可以通过快速的文本prompts创建“逼真”和“富有想象力”的60秒视频)”以及第二段“In a blog post on Wednesday, the company said Sora is capable of generating videos up to 60 seconds in length from text instructions, with the ability to serve up scenes with multiple characters, specific types of motion, and detailed background details.(在周三的一篇博客文章中，该公司表示，Sora能够根据文本指令生成长达60秒的视频，并能够提供多个角色、特定类型的动作和详细的背景细节的场景)”可知，Sora能够根据文本指令生成视频，推测划线单词prompts指的是用户给AI模型的指令，与Instruction意义相近。故选B。 【29题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“In a blog post on Wednesday, the company said Sora is capable of generating videos up to 60 seconds in length from text instructions, with the ability to serve up scenes with multiple characters, specific types of motion, and detailed background details. “The model understands not only what the user has asked for in the prompt, but also how those things exist in the physical world,” the blog post said.(在周三的一篇博客文章中，该公司表示，Sora能够根据文本指令生成长达60秒的视频，并能够提供多个角色、特定类型的动作和详细的背景细节的场景。该博客文章称：“该模型不仅能理解用户在提示中的要求，还能理解这些东西在现实世界中的存在方式。”)”可知，本段主要介绍了Sora的能力，包括生成多角色场景、特定类型的动作和详细背景等。故选A。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“At the same time, OpenAI said Sora is still a work in progress with clear “weaknesses,” particularly when it comes to spatial details of a prompt- mixing up left and right- and cause and effect. It gave the example of creating a video of someone taking a bit e out of a cookie but it not having a bite mark right after. (与此同时，OpenAI表示，Sora仍然是一项正在进行的工作，存在明显的“弱点”，特别是在提示的空间细节（左右混淆）以及因果关系方面。它举了一个例子，制作了一段视频，视频中有人咬了一口饼干，但之后没有咬痕)”可知，第四段提到咬饼干的例子是为了说明Sora在理解因果关系方面存在弱点。故选C。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Sora will first be made available to cybersecurity professors, called “red teamers,” who can assess the product for harm or risks.(Sora将首先提供给被称为“红队成员”的网络安全教授，他们可以评估产品的危害或风险)”可知，“红队成员”的网络安全教授将拥有Sora的初始访问权限。故选D。 D Lord Rees and Neil deGrasse Tyson pour cold water on Elon Musk’s plans to transfer a large human population to Mars at a World Government Summit panel in Dubai. The billionaire’s plans to send humans to Mars are a “dangerous vision”, according to Britain’s chief astrophysicist Lord Martin Rees. Back in 2016, Musk outlined his vision of building a colony on Mars “in our lifetimes” — with the first rocket sending humans to the Red Planet by 2025. For many years the company used an image of the Martian surface being terraformed (地球化) in its promotional material. However, a NASA- sponsored study published in 2018 dismissed these plans as impossible with today’s technology. Recently Musk has tweeted that he believed it was “possible to make a self- sustaining city on Mars by 2050, if we start in five years”. Lord Rees said, “The only reason for humans to go to space would be for adventure. To live on Mars is not going to be easy. Mars has a harsh environment.” “The idea of Elon Musk to have a million people settle on Mars is a dangerous idea. Living on Mars is no better than living on the South Pole or the tip of Mount Everest. If you want to call Mars home, you need to terraform Mars, turn it into Earth.” American astrophysicist and science educator Neil deGrasse Tyson added. However, the size of this task was much larger than actively attempting to prevent the initial catastrophe on Earth, Dr. Tyson explained: “It is so much easier to make Earth return to Earth again rather than terraforming Mars.” “There is no force on Earth as powerful as the exploration of space that impacts our thoughts and ambitions. Thinking about the future is half of what drives the future. Space will always remain as an inspiration for young people and it is an area we need to support,” Lord Rees said. 32. What was Musk’s attitude to the vision of building a colony on Mars by 2050? A. Skeptical. B. Optimistic. C. Dismissive. D. Cautious. 33. What makes terraforming Mars a difficult task, according to Dr. Tyson? A. Harsh environment in Mars. B. Conflict with NASA’s plan. C. Lack of advanced technology. D. Extreme weather in the South Pole. 34. What is the main message conveyed by Lord Rees in the last paragraph? A. Thinking about the future is important to space exploration. B. Mars colonization should be a top priority for young people. C. Space exploration has a huge impact on human development. D. Young people should be more supportive of space exploration. 35. What is the best title of this passage? A. Elon Musk Thinks Big About Colonizing Mars B. Experts Dismiss Elon Musk’s Mars Colonization Plans C. The Fruitless Exploration of Human Settlement on Mars D. The Challenges of Establishing Human Habitats on Mars 【答案】32. B 33. A 34. C 35. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。里斯勋爵和尼尔·德格拉斯·泰森对埃隆·马斯克将大量人口迁移到火星的计划表示质疑，认为这是危险的愿景。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Recently Musk has tweeted that he believed it was “possible to make a self- sustaining city on Mars by 2050, if we start in five years”. (最近，马斯克在推特上表示，他相信“如果我们在五年内开始，到2050年，有可能在火星上建立一个自给自足的城市”。)”可知，马斯克对2050年在火星上建立殖民地的愿景持乐观的态度。故选B。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Living on Mars is no better than living on the South Pole or the tip of Mount Everest. (生活在火星上并不比生活在南极或珠穆朗玛峰的顶端好。)”可知，泰森博士认为，火星环境恶劣让改造火星成为一项艰巨的任务。故选A。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“There is no force on Earth as powerful as the exploration of space that impacts our thoughts and ambitions. (地球上没有比探索太空更强大的力量能影响我们的思想和抱负。)”可知，里斯勋爵认为太空探索对人类发展有着巨大的影响。故选C。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Lord Rees and Neil deGrasse Tyson pour cold water on Elon Musk’s plans to transfer a large human population to Mars at a World Government Summit panel in Dubai. The billionaire’s plans to send humans to Mars are a “dangerous vision”, according to Britain’s chief astrophysicist Lord Martin Rees. (里斯勋爵和尼尔·德格拉斯·泰森在迪拜举行的世界政府峰会小组讨论会上对埃隆·马斯克将大量人口转移到火星的计划泼了冷水。英国首席天体物理学家马丁·里斯勋爵表示，这位亿万富翁将人类送往火星的计划是一个“危险的愿景”。)”可知，这篇文章主要介绍专家们否定了埃隆·马斯克的火星殖民计划。故选B。 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。 Have you noticed how three days into your Hawaii vacation, you’ve stopped noticing the amazing sunsets out your hotel window? Or maybe the guy who made you laugh out loud on your first date barely makes you smile these days? This is due to what scientists call “hedonic (享乐的) adaptation” — the tendency to gain less enjoyment from happy experiences as time passes. ____36____ Now, a new book called Look Again provides a wonderful introduction for understanding how hedonic adaptation works and what to do about it. Here are some of the authors’ suggestions: ◇Take a break from things you like, but not things you don’t like: Taking breaks from the things you love can help you appreciate them more. For example, interrupting music you are listening to can spark more appreciation for it afterward. ____37____ So it’s best to “get it over with” to reduce unpleasant feelings. ◇Focus on learning and experiencing instead of possessions: Rather than exchanging what we have for different things or people, we can make our lives more exciting by trying out new things. ___38___ Similarly, the pleasure from experiences lasts longer than the pleasure of owning material things and may even increase over time. ◇Mix up your routines and surprise yourself: Making changes to routines can help us see things in a new way and spark creativity. ____39____ Because they enable the brain to focus on what’s different, allowing you to consider something from a new angle. ____40____ If we understand how hedonic adaptation works and learn how to deal with it, we can make changes in our personal lives and in our social policies that can lead to greater well- being for all. A. The opposite is true for unpleasant experiences. B. Having a different experience can make life more colorful. C. Learning is rewarding and can make you feel happy and alive. D. This can mean anything from asking a question to learning a new language. E. Overall, hedonic adaptation affects our experiences, both happy or unpleasant. F.

I got off the bus and saw my friends gathered under the tree. There were four of us: Becky, Barbara, Kim and me. I can’t even say that we were close friends; we just came from different elementary schools and didn’t fit into the usual middle school groups. We became our own group by standing together. The circle seemed tighter as I approached, with small white envelopes being stuffed into backpacks. Everyone knew Bridget’s party was this weekend. Bridget was one of the popular girls, the opposite of me. She was thin, beautiful and wore clothes that looked like they came straight from the pages of magazines. Being invited to her party meant elevation in the school ranking; not being invited meant being left out. My throat tightened, hoping Bridget still had an envelope for me. But my friends’ nervous looks and shifty glances guaranteed my fate. Their too- eager hellos told me everyone knew who was invited and who wasn’t. Thankfully, the bell rang, and I hurried to English. But I couldn’t concentrate on the class. Why invite everyone in my group except me? Was it my big feet? My ugly coat? At lunch, I sat with my group, and they politely avoided the subject. When Kim asked if anyone wanted to go shopping after school, I knew what they were shopping for, so I said, “I can’t. I’m busy.” “I heard Bridget could only invite so many people.” Becky said. “Whatever,” I said, pretending to look for something in my backpack. I hated Bridget for making my life miserable. By the fifth class, the news was out. A girl who’d been invited couldn’t go because of a family trip. Whispers began about who might be chosen in her place. I walked to sixth class, following behind Bridget and observing ni ne girls smile and say hello to her between classes. After school, I was waiting in the bus lines and saw Bridget headed toward my line, and it did seem like she was coming to me. I pretended not to notice. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “Will you come to my party?” Bridget held out an invitation. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I took another look at the invitation without my name on it and made a decision. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 “Will you come to my party?” Bridget held out an invitation. As I took the card from her, I couldn’t help but smile, thinking I had finally been included. The small white envelope in my hand seemed to glisten under the afternoon sun, a beacon of hope in my otherwise dreary day. But when I opened the envelope, my heart sank. The invitation was still addressed to the original girl who couldn’t make it. It wasn’t meant for me. The realization hit me hard. I was just the backup, not truly wanted. The significance of that omission became painfully clear. I watched the approaching bus and hesitated. I took another look at the invitation without my name on it and made a decision. Taking a deep breath and handing the card back to Bridget, I said, “Thanks, but I have other plans.” Without waiting for her reaction, I turned and boarded my bus. As I found my seat and watched Bridget’s stunned expression fade into the distance, a sense of clarity washed over me. True friendship wasn’t about being invited to the coolest parties; it was about being value d for who you are. At that moment, I felt a new found sense of empowerment and peace. I understood what genuine friendship meant. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者发现自己没有被邀请参加Bridget的派对，感受被排斥。一个被邀请的女孩因为家庭旅行不能去参加派对，放学后，Bridget向作者走来，似乎是来找作者的。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容““你会来参加我的聚会吗？”布里奇特发出邀请。”可知，第一段可描写作者感觉开心被邀请，但是打开信封后发现这不是给自己准备的邀请函，作者犹豫了。 ②由第二段首句内容“我又看了一眼没有我名字的邀请函，然后做出了决定。”可知，第二段可描写作者拒绝了布里奇特的邀请，以及作者的感悟。 2.续写线索：布里奇特邀请作者——作者开心——发现邀请函不是为自己准备的——作者犹豫——拒绝邀请——作者的感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①深呼吸：take a deep breath/breathe deeply ②上公交车：board my bus/get on my bus ③理解：understand/be aware of 情绪类 ①笑：smile/laugh ②震惊的：stunned/surprised 【点睛】【高分句型1】The invitation was still addressed to the original girl who couldn’t make it.（运用了who引导的限制性定语从句） 【高分句型2】As I found my seat and watched Bridget’s stunned expression fade into the distance, a sense of clarity washed over me.（运用了As引导的时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 湖南·2025届高三入学考试 英语 本试卷共8页。全卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 注意事项： 1.答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在本试卷和答题卡上。 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的答案标号涂黑，如有改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案；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） 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?

B Standing in front of a horse- face skirt on display in a garment factory, Liu Wenyue, a young hanfu designer, carefully explained where she drew inspiration from while designing it. “I drew inspiration from the shell carving process used to create mother- of- pearl lacquer (漆). I chose the silver thread and images from traditional Chinese paintings- birds, flowers, hills and rocks- as the patterns. I also added window- frame patterns on the edge to give the entire piece the appearance of lacquerware,” she said. “It is the best- selling piece in our store, with 20,000 pieces sold so far,” Having designed nearly 500 sets of hanfu in just four years, Liu has managed to turn what was once a hobby into a stable source of income. She now runs a studio and focuses on designing horse- face skirts. “I hope that the hanfu pieces I designed can easily fit into people’s everyday lives. This is why I have prioritized horse- face skirts as my flagship (旗舰店) product,” Liu said, adding that the skirt is very adaptable, as it can be matched with tops and fits all age groups. Liu’s passion for hanfu began in college, where she admired the clothing but could barely afford it. Inspired by online design blueprints, she created her own, which a merchant bought for 300 yuan ($42), even before production. The buyer advised her to learn computer- aided design, leading her into the industry. In 2019, she opened a studio, later relocating to Xucun, which is closer to her fabric source. In her new studio, horse- face skirts feature a variety of patterns, such as fireworks, herbal medicines, blue and white porcelain, and Year of the Dragon images. “I draw inspiration mostly from traditional Chinese cultural elements, and at the same time, I integrate modern aesthetics (美学) into the design to highlight the younger generation’s understanding of hanfu,” Liu said. She has not only built a fan base domestically, but has also received orders for her skirts from overseas Chinese and international students.

C Artificial intelligence leader OpenAI introduced a new AI model called Sora which it claims can create “realistic” and “imaginative” 60-second videos from quick text prompts. In a blog post on Wednesday, the company said Sora is capable of generating videos up to 60 seconds in length from text instructions, with the ability to serve up scenes with multiple characters, specific types of motion, and detailed background details. “The model understands not only what the user has asked for in the prompt, but also how those things exist in the physical world,” the blog post said. OpenAI said it intends to train the AI models so it can “help people solve problems that require real- world interaction.” This is the latest effort from the company behind the viral chatbot ChatGPT, which continues to push the generative AI movement forward. Although “multi- modal models” are not new and text- to- video models already exist, what sets this apart is the length and accuracy that OpenAI claims Sora to have. It could have a big impact on digital entertainment markets with new personalized content being streamed across channels. One obvious use case is within TV, creating short scenes to support narratives. At the same time, OpenAI said Sora is still a work in progress with clear “weaknesses,” particularly when it comes to spatial details of a prompt- mixing up left and right- and cause and effect. It gave the example of creating a video of someone taking a bite out of a cookie but it not having a bite mark right after. For now, OpenAI’s messaging remains focused on safety. The company said it plans to work with a team of experts to test the latest model and look closely at various areas including misinformation, hateful content and bias. The company said it is also building tools to help detect misleading information. Sora will first be made available to cybersecurity professors, called “red teamers,” who can assess the product for harm or risks. Afterward, it is also preparing to provide access to some visual artists, designers, and filmmakers to gather feedback on how creative professionals are using it. 28. What does the underlined word “prompt” mean in the passage? A. Format. B. Instruction. C. Analysis. D. Production. 29. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The abilities of Sora. B. The working principle of Sora. C. The importance of understanding AI. D. The history of video generation technology. 30. Why is the example of cookie biting mentioned in Paragraph 4? A. To stress the importance of spatial details in video generation. B. To emphasize Sora’s potential in creating entertaining videos. C. To show Sora’s weaknesses in understanding cause and effect. D. To highlight OpenAI’s progress in addressing Sora’s weaknesses. 31. Who will have initial access to Sora? A. Designers. B. Filmmakers. C. Visual artists. D. Cybersecurity experts. D Lord Rees and Neil deGrasse Tyson pour cold water on Elon Musk’s plans to transfer a large human population to Mars at a World Government Summit panel in Dubai. The billionaire’s plans to send humans to Mars are a “dangerous vision”, according to Britain’s chief astrophysicist Lord Martin Rees. Back in 2016, Musk outlined his vision of building a colony on Mars “in our lifetimes” — with the first rocket sending humans to the Red Planet by 2025. For many years the company used an image of the Martian surface being terraformed (地球化) in its promotional material. However, a NASA- sponsored study published in 2018 dismissed these plans as impossible with today’s technology. Recently Musk has tweeted that he believed it was “possible to make a self- sustaining city on Mars by 2050, if we start in five years”. Lord Rees said, “The only reason for humans to go to space would be for adventure. To live on Mars is not going to be easy. Mars has a harsh environment.” “The idea of Elon Musk to have a million people settle on Mars is a dangerous idea. Living on Mars is no better than living on the South Pole or the tip of Mount Everest. If you want to call Mars home, you need to terraform Mars, turn it into Earth.” American astrophysicist and science educator Neil deGrasse Tyson added. However, the size of this task was much larger than actively attempting to prevent the initial catastrophe on Earth, Dr. Tyson explained: “It is so much easier to make Earth return to Earth again rather than terraforming Mars.” “There is no force on Earth as powerful as the exploration of space that impacts our thoughts and ambitions. Thinking about the future is half of what drives the future. Space will always remain as an inspiration for young people and it is an area we need to support,” Lord Rees said. 32 What was Musk’s attitude to the vision of building a colony on Mars by 2050? A. Skeptical. B. Optimistic. C. Dismissive. D. Cautious. 33. What makes terraforming Mars a difficult task, according to Dr. Tyson? A. Harsh environment in Mars. B. Conflict with NASA’s plan. C. Lack of advanced technology. D. Extreme weather in the South Pole. 34. What is the main message conveyed by Lord Rees in the last paragraph? A. Thinking about the future is important to space exploration. B. Mars colonization should be a top priority for young people. C. Space exploration has a huge impact on human development. D. Young people should be more supportive of space exploration. 35. What is the best title of this passage? A. Elon Musk Thinks Big About Colonizing Mars B. Experts Dismiss Elon Musk’s Mars Colonization Plans C. The Fruitless Exploration of Human Settlement on Mars D. The Challenges of Establishing Human Habitats on Mars 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。 Have you noticed how three days into your Hawaii vacation, you’ve stopped noticing the amazing sunsets out your hotel window? Or maybe the guy who made you laugh out loud on your first date barely makes you smile these days? This is due to what scientists call “hedonic (享乐的) adaptation” — the tendency to gain less enjoyment from happy experiences as time passes. ____36____ Now, a new book called Look Again provides a wonderful introduction for understanding how hedonic adaptation works and what to do about it. Here are some of the authors’ suggestions: ◇Take a break from things you like, but not things you don’t like: Taking breaks from the things you love can help you appreciate them more. For example, interrupting music you are listening to can spark more appreciation for it afterward. ____37____ So it’s best to “get it over with” to reduce unpleasant feelings. ◇Focus on learning and experiencing instead of possessions: Rather than exchanging what we have for different things or people, we can make our lives more exciting by trying out new things. ___38___ Similarly, the pleasure from experiences lasts longer than the pleasure of owning material things and may even increase over time. ◇Mix up your routines and surprise yourself: Making changes to routines can help us see things in a new way and spark creativity. ____39____ Because they enable the brain to focus on what’s different, allowing you to consider something from a new angle. ____40____ If we understand how hedonic adaptation works and learn how to deal with it, we can make changes in our personal lives and in our social policies that can lead to greater well- being for all. A. The opposite is true for unpleasant experiences. B. Having a different experience can make life more colorful. C. Learning is rewarding and can make you feel happy and alive. D. This can mean anything from asking a question to learning a new language. E. Overall, hedonic adaptation affects our experiences, both happy or unpleasant. F. Even small changes, like shifting from walking to sitting, can increase creativity. G. It can greatly affect your ability to appreciate the good things and maintain your happiness. 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。 Why do I travel?

I got off the bus and saw my friends gathered under the tree. There were four of us: Becky, Barbara, Kim and me. I can’t even say that we were close friends; we just came from different elementary schools and didn’t fit into the usual middle school groups. We became our own group by standing together. The circle seemed tighter as I approached, with small white envelopes being stuffed into backpacks. Everyone knew Bridget’s party was this weekend. Bridget was one of the popular girls, the opposite of me. She was thin, beautiful and wore clothes that looked like they came straight from the pages of magazines. Being invited to her party meant elevation in the school ranking; not being invited meant being left out. My throat tightened, hoping Bridget still had an envelope for me. But my friends’ nervous looks and shifty glances guaranteed my fate. Their too- eager hellos told me everyone knew who was invited and who wasn’t. Thankfully, the bell rang, and I hurried to English. But I couldn’t concentrate on the class. Why invite everyone in my group except me? Was it my big feet? My ugly coat? At lunch, I sat with my group, and they politely avoided the subject. When Kim asked if anyone wanted to go shopping after school, I knew what they were shopping for, so I said, “I can’t. I’m busy.” “I heard Bridget could only invite so many people.” Becky said. “Whatever,” I said, pretending to look for something in my backpack. I hated Bridget for making my life miserable. By the fifth class, the news was out. A girl who’d been invited couldn’t go because of a family trip. Whispers began about who might be chosen in her place. I walked to sixth class, following behind Bridget and observing ni ne girls smile and say hello to her between classes. After school, I was waiting in the bus lines and saw Bridget headed toward my line, and it did seem like she was coming to me. I pretended not to notice. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “Will you come to my party?” Bridget held out an invitation ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I took another look at the invitation without my name on it and made a decision. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
