I’m Zhuojuema, sharing insights on Tibetan black pottery’s evolution.” You might encounter this cheerful 19-year-old at the Jambhala Tibetan Pottery Training Institute in Sichuan’s Zamtang county. In 2016, Zhuojuema started mastering black pottery at the institute. Since graduating in 2019, she’s been committed to preserving and promoting this 1,000-year-old Tibetan pottery craft. However, its traditional craftsmanship is fading due to lack of interest, especially among young people like Zhuojuema. Choi Wang, Zhuojuema’s mentor, founded the institute with local government support to revive (复兴) ancient crafts. Zhuojuema noted, “The lack of systematic written records and patterns poses the biggest challenge, as skills were traditionally transmitted orally from master to apprentice.” Zhuojuema and her team compiled materials by consulting historical texts, gathering black pottery, and interviewing senior craftsmen for manufacturing details. An authentic Jambhala Tibetan pottery is purely handmade, free from modern tools. Fired with highland barley (青稞), it uniquely interacts with local clay, producing its characteristic black color, as explained by Zhuojuema. Firing pottery items in the kiln (窑) is a key technique. “The size and shape of pottery are closely related to the time and temperature of heating,” Zhuojuema said. Without much previous experience, artisans (工匠) from the institute keep experimenting and consulting seasoned craftsmen. Young potters like Zhuojuema have revived the craft, master ing Xi’ an and Jingdezhen techniques. Over time, techniques have evolved, enhancing Tibetan Jambhala pottery with polishing for shine and modernity. “ We’ re making the craft more accessible through small items like teapots and cups,” Zhuojuema notes. Typically used for large storage (5L+), Tibetan Jambhala pottery now adapts to modern needs. “ To make it well-known, we must adapt,” Zhuojuema said, sharing her pottery- making and daily life videos on Douyin to showcase local culture. 4. What do Zhuojuema and her companions work for? A. Creating pottery with modern tools. B. Increasing Tibetan pottery production. C. Preserving the art of Jambhala Tibetan pottery. D. Selling Tibetan pottery at reasonable prices. 5. How were traditional techniques of Jambhala Tibetan pottery passed down in the past? A. By word of mouth. B. By records in books. C. By pottery patterns. D. By systematic education. 6. Why is firing in the kiln a crucial skill in Jambhala Tibetan pottery? A. Because it decides the pottery’s color. B. Because it makes the pottery shiny. C. Because it uses highland barley as fuel. D. Because it determines the pottery’s size and shape. 7. What is the purpose of Zhuojuema sharing videos on Douyin? A. To popularize the Tibetan pottery craft. B. To compete with other artisans in the market. C. To promote the institute where she learned the craft. D. To show off her personal skills in pottery-making. C For many, Burning Man is more than just an annual festival; it’s a community, a way of life, and a gathering of like-minded individuals who come together in the Nevada desert to celebrate art, self-expression, and the spirit of community. However, this year, the event is facing a significant shift as ticket sales have slumped, leading to a smaller crowd than in previous years. The festival, always a sell-out, is noticing a shift. Long-time attended a Lenhart observes that while the core group of “absolute friends and family” remains, overall numbers are decreasing. Artist Tim Bremner from Oakland sees this as potentially positive, as it might reduce attendees who are more interested in the experience than the festival’s ethos, potentially making room for a new generation of Burners truly interested in its aim. Bremner’s perspective is insightful, as he himself was once a newcomer who managed to attend due to last- minute ticket availability. The festival’s policy change in 2011, which required registration in advance, has made it harder for casual attendees to secure a spot. However, the recent drop in sales might once again open the doors to those who previously found it challenging to get tickets. The expectation among the “new generation” of Burners is obvious, as evidenced by the posts on the Burning Man 2024 Facebook group. Katie Kritzell, a self-proclaimed newbie, expresses her eagerness to share experiences. Her enthusiasm is a testament to the festival’s lasting popularity and its ability to attract fresh blood into the fold. On the other hand, some first-times like Mike Morrow have a more skeptical view. His post, which remarks about skipping the event even if weather is favorable and crowds are smaller, has sparked debate within the community. Morrow’s words make us wonder what really makes the Burner experience. In short, the drop in ticket sales at Burning Man might not be bad. It could let the festival change and bring in new people who really get what it’s about. It will be fun to watch how Burning Man keeps its special spirit as it grows and changes. 8. What does the underlined word “ethos” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Purpose. B. Influence. C. Location. D. Tradition. 9. What was the impact of the 2011 policy change at Burning Man? A. It had no significant impact on attendance. B. It attracted more common attendees to get tickets. C. It made it harder for casual attendees to participate in it. D. It led to an increase in the number of overall attendees. 10. What does Kat ie Kritzell’s post indicate about the festival? A. It is hard to attract new participants. B. It is losing its appeal among new generations. C. It is only popular among experienced attendees. D. It continues to be popular and attractş new attendees. 11. What is the best title for this passage? A. The Art of Burning Man B. Burning Man for Everyone C. The Decline of Burning Man D. Burning Man’s Changing Tides D In an era where policymakers neglect play’s significance, its absence from national agendas highlights its overlooked status. Since 2008, the UK has lacked a unified play plan, with the Conservative Party (保守党) neglecting previous Labour efforts (unlike Scotland and Wales). Some non- profit organizations are trying hard, yet their impact and resources are limited. The sudden stop to a parliamentary report on children and the built environment, which was close to ending during the election calls, highlights the previous administration’s disrespect for the issue. The children’s minister, David Johnston, reinforced this neglect by refusing to provide evidence, signaling a broader lack of attention to children’s well-being. Amid Labour’s proposals to ease planning regulations to ensure that new developments meet children’s needs, play should take on a more notable role. Even in educational settings, play could offer a healthy alternative to excessive screen time. Experts, including Professor Heler Dodd, stress that the scarcity of opportunities for unstructured and adventurous play contributes to rising anxiety among young people. The well- documented connection between sedentary (久坐的) lifestyles, poor diets, and unhealthy weights emphasizes the importance of addressing this issue immediately. The Centre for Young Lives, founded by Anne Longfield, the former Children’s Commissioner for England, has taken the initiative by launching a commission to advance this critical agenda. A suggested so lution is to incorporate (吸收) play into Ofsted’s inspection framework, although concerns arise about the potential for turning children’s leisure activities into a game or assigning grades. While play is a natural part of childhood, the new government must go beyond the assumption that children will naturally benefit from play without the guidance of strategic policies. Francis Alÿs’s video artwork serves as a powerful reminder of the richness and value of play, emphasizing its potential to enrich lives and foster creativity. Bridget Phillipson, the freshly appointed Education Minister, stands ready to back this vita cause. By acknowledging the urgency to restore play as a cornerstone of childhood, she can pave the way for a brighter, more energetic future for our youth. The moment to act is upon us, and th potential for success is high. 12. What’s the main problem about play in the UK? A. The lack of non-profit organizations’ support. B. The election of a new anti- play government. C. The neglect for the crucial role of play in national agendas. D. The success of Scotland and Wales in applying play policies. 13. What is a contributing factor to rising anxiety among young people? A. Excessive screen time. B. A lack of adventurous play. C. Structured play opportunities. D. A healthy lifestyle. 14. What’s the main purpose of writing this article? A. To ease planning regulations to meet kids’ needs. B. To incorporate play into education to limit screen time. C. To promote adventure activities for children. D. To re-emphasize the importance of play in childhood. 15. What’s the tone of Bridget Phillipson in the last paragraph? A. Optimistic. B. Skeptical. C. Indifferent. D. Neutral. 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。 Will a purpose-driven life help you five longer?

Our family had been through a lot in the last 4 years. She loved her grandparents, but they left us too soon. It really got to her, especially with her sensitive nature. She was down for nearly a year, hardly smiling, just getting by. She lost her sparkle. Back then I didn’t know what to do for her. She saw my concern, and it just made her sadder. One day, after she headed to school, I sat in the living room, thinking about all our hugs. We’ re a hug family, and it always lifts my spirits. I wished I could have hugged her then to cheer her up too. “Dad, I’m lost without you. I don’t know how to help Bernadette.” Then I thought, “Hugs might cheer her up.” So I started hugging her more, trying to make it feel normal. Little by little, Bernadette started smiling more frequently, and it looked like joy was always with her. She became super excited about her activities, in a way she never had been before. After a couple of months, our hug sessions really cheered her up. I didn’t reveal my intentions, but she understood the depth of those embraces. When she felt blue or anxious, she’d request a hug from me. And if she noticed I was down, she’d give me a warm hug too. It became a natural thing for us — giving and receiving lots of hugs! As time passed, hugging became a regular thing that felt really nice. But when Bernadette started college hunting, we knew we’d have to part ways soon. Her dream school was way far, over 1,700 miles away. Right before she left, we had celebrated my birthday together. She told me she was excited about a surprise gift and went shopping secretly. On my birthday, she presented me with a beautifully, wrapped present. She hoped I’d love it and it’d bring a smile to my face. This gift was like a little reminder of all the hugs and good times we shared. 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。 I opened the accompanying envelope and found a handwritten letter. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Deeply moved, I unwrapped the gift eagerly. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1-5 BBACA 6-10 ABCCA 11-15 ABACB 16-20 BCBCC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 英 语 (试题卷) 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，答题卡上。写在本试题卷上无效。 3.考试结束后，将本试题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。每段话仅读一遍。 例: How much is the shirt?

(许多人在寒冷的月份来考艾岛，以躲避寒冷的天气)”可知，人们在12月到3月期间去考艾岛是为了躲避寒冷的天气。故选B项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据April-June部分中“Kaua’i weather is picture-perfect in spring (high 70s to low 80s) and so are the hotel rates (low season). For the fewest  crowds, book your vacation for early spring(考艾岛的春天天气非常好(70华氏度到80华氏度)，酒店的价格也是如此(淡季)。如果想要人群最少，可以预定早春的假期)”可知，4月到6月是考艾岛旅游淡季，且酒店价格便宜。所以为了避开旅游高峰并找到最优惠的酒店价格，可以计划6月去考艾岛度假。故选C项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。文章主要是在介绍考艾岛旅游相关的不同时间段的信息，包括最佳旅游时间、不同时间段的活动以及天气等，所以这篇文章很可能来自一本旅游指南。故选D项。 B “Greetings, all. I’m Zhuojuema, sharing insights on Tibetan black pottery’s evolution.” You might encounter this cheerful 19-year-old at the Jambhala Tibetan Pottery Training Institute in Sichuan’s Zamtang county. In 2016, Zhuojuema started mastering black pottery at the institute. Since graduating in 2019, she’s been committed to preserving and promoting this 1,000-year-old Tibetan pottery craft. However, its traditional craftsmanship is fading due to lack of interest, especially among young people like Zhuojuema. Choi Wang, Zhuojuema’s mentor, founded the institute with local government support to revive (复兴) ancient crafts. Zhuojuema noted, “The lack of systematic written records and patterns poses the biggest challenge, as skills were traditionally transmitted orally from master to apprentice.” Zhuojuema and her team compiled materials by consulting historical texts, gathering black pottery, and interviewing senior craftsmen for manufacturing details. An authentic Jambhala Tibetan pottery is purely handmade, free from modern tools. Fired with highland barley (青稞), it uniquely interacts with local clay, producing its characteristic black color, as explained by Zhuojuema. Firing pottery items in the kiln (窑) is a key technique. “The size and shape of pottery are closely related to the time and temperature of heating” Zhuojuema said. Without much previous experience, artisans (工匠) from the institute keep experimenting and consulting seasoned craftsmen. Young potters like Zhuojuema have revived the craft, master ing Xi’ an and Jingdezhen techniques. Over time, techniques have evolved, enhancing Tibetan Jambhala pottery with polishing for shine and modernity. “ We’ re making the craft more accessible through small items like teapots and cups,” Zhuojuema notes. Typically used for large storage (5L+), Tibetan Jambhala pottery now adapts to modern needs. “ To make it well-known, we must adapt,” Zhuojuema said, sharing her pottery- making and daily life videos on Douyin to showcase local culture. 4. What do Zhuojuema and her companions work for? A. Creating pottery with modern tools. B. Increasing Tibetan pottery production. C. Preserving the art of Jambhala Tibetan pottery. D. Selling Tibetan pottery at reasonable prices. 5. How were traditional techniques of Jambhala Tibetan pottery passed down in the past? A. By word of mouth. B. By records in books. C. By pottery patterns. D. By systematic education. 6. Why is firing in the kiln a crucial skill in Jambhala Tibetan pottery? A. Because it decides the pottery’s color. B. Because it makes the pottery shiny. C. Because it uses highland barley as fuel. D. Because it determines the pottery’s size and shape. 7. What is the purpose of Zhuojuema sharing videos on Douyin? A. To popularize the Tibetan pottery craft. B. To compete with other artisans in the market. C. To promote the institute where she learned the craft. D. To show off her personal skills in pottery-making. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了19岁的卓菊玛在藏区致力于保护和传承千年历史的藏族黑陶技艺，并通过创新使其适应现代需求。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“In 2016, Zhuojuema started mastering black pottery at the institute. Since graduating in 2019, she’s been committed to preserving and promoting this 1,000-year-old Tibetan pottery craft.(2016年，卓觉玛开始在传承所学习黑陶制作技艺。自2019年毕业以来，她一直致力于保护和推广这项拥有1000年历史的藏族陶艺。)”可知，卓觉玛和她的同伴们的工作是为了保护和传承班达拉藏族陶艺这一古老的手工艺。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Choi Wang, Zhuojuema’s mentor, founded the institute with local government support to revive (复兴) ancient crafts. Zhuojuema noted, “The lack of systematic written records and patterns poses the biggest challenge, as skills were traditionally transmitted orally from master to apprentice.”(卓觉玛的导师崔旺在当地政府的支持下创立了传承所，旨在复兴古老的工艺。卓觉玛指出：“缺乏系统的书面记录和图案是最大的挑战，因为传统上，技艺是通过师傅口头传授给徒弟的。”)”可知，传统的班达拉藏陶技艺是通过口头传授的方式传承下来的。故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第五段“Firing pottery items in the kiln (窑) is a key technique. “The size and shape of pottery are closely related to the time and temperature of heating,” Zhuojuema said.(在窑中烧制陶器是一项关键技术。卓觉玛说：“陶器的大小和形状与加热的时间和温度密切相关。”)”可知，窑中烧制是决定陶器大小和形状的关键技能。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““To make it well-known, we must adapt,” Zhuojuema said, sharing her pottery- making and daily life videos on Douyin to showcase local culture.(卓觉玛说：“为了让它广为人知，我们必须适应。”她在抖音上分享了她制作陶器和日常生活的视频，以展示当地文化。)”可知，卓觉玛在抖音上分享视频的目的是为了推广藏族陶艺，让更多人了解和认识这一传统手工艺。故选A。 C For many, Burning Man is more than just an annual festival; it’s a community, a way of life, and a gathering of like-minded individuals who come together in the Nevada desert to celebrate art, self-expression, and the spirit of community. However, this year, the event is facing a significant shift as ticket sales have slumped, leading to a smaller crowd than in previous years. The festival, always a sell-out, is noticing a shift. Long-time attended a Lenhart observes that while the core group of “absolute friends and family” remains, overall numbers are decreasing. Artist Tim Bremner from Oakland sees this as potentially positive, as it might reduce attendees who are more interested in the experience than the festival’s ethos, potentially making room for a new generation of Burners truly interested in its aim. Bremner’s perspective is insightful, as he himself was once a newcomer who managed to attend due to last- minute ticket availability. The festival’s policy change in 2011, which required registration in advance, has made it harder for casual attendees to secure a spot. However, the recent drop in sales might once again open the doors to those who previously found it challenging to get tickets. The expectation among the “new generation” of Burners is obvious, as evidenced by the posts on the Burning Man 2024 Facebook group. Katie Kritzell, a self-proclaimed newbie, expresses her eagerness to share experiences. Her enthusiasm is a testament to the festival’s lasting popularity and its ability to attract fresh blood into the fold. On the other hand, some first-times like Mike Morrow have a more skeptical view. His post, which remarks about skipping the event even if weather is favorable and crowds are smaller, has sparked debate within the community. Morrow’s words make us wonder what really makes the Burner experience. In short, the drop in ticket sales at Burning Man might not be bad. It could let the festival change and bring in new people who really get what it’s about. It will be fun to watch how Burning Man keeps its special spirit as it grows and changes. 8. What does the underlined word “ethos” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Purpose. B. Influence. C. Location. D. Tradition. 9. What was the impact of the 2011 policy change at Burning Man? A. It had no significant impact on attendance. B. It attracted more common attendees to get tickets. C. It made it harder for casual attendees to participate in it. D. It led to an increase in the number of overall attendees. 10. What does Kat ie Kritzell’s post indicate about the festival? A. It is hard to attract new participants. B. It is losing its appeal among new generations. C. It is only popular among experienced attendees. D. It continues to be popular and attractş new attendees. 11. What is the best title for this passage? A. The Art of Burning Man B. Burning Man for Everyone C. The Decline of Burning Man D. Burning Man’s Changing Tides 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了火人节的门票销售下滑现象，分析了这一现象可能带来的影响，并引用了不同参与者的观点和看法。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线所在句“Artist Tim Bremner from Oakland sees this as potentially positive, as it might reduce attendees who are more interested in the experience than the festival’s ethos, potentially making room for a new generation of Burners truly interested in its aim.(来自奥克兰的艺术家蒂姆·布雷姆纳认为这可能是积极的，因为这可能会减少那些对体验比对节日的ethos更感兴趣的参与者，可能为真正对节日目标感兴趣的新一代火人节参与者腾出空间。)”中“more interested in the experience than the festival’s ethos”和“making room for a new generation of Burners truly interested in its aim”可推知，蒂姆·布雷姆纳认为减少人的是只追求体验，而真正热爱和关注节日理念的人不会缺席。由此推知，划线所ethos指的是“理念、宗旨、目的”，与purpose同义。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The festival’s policy change in 2011, which required registration in advance, has made it harder for casual attendees to secure a spot.(2011年，该节日的政策发生了变化，要求提前登记，这使得临时参加者更难获得一席之地。)”可知，2011年的政策变化要求提前注册，这使得临时参加者更难获得席位。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Katie Kritzell, a self-proclaimed newbie, expresses her eagerness to share experiences. Her enthusiasm is a testament to the festival’s lasting popularity and its ability to attract fresh blood into the fold.(自称新手的Katie Kritzell表达了她分享经验的渴望。她的热情证明了该节日持久的受欢迎程度及其吸引新鲜血液的能力。)”可知，Katie Kritzell的帖子表明该节日仍然很受欢迎，并继续吸引新的参与者。故选D。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“For many, Burning Man is more than just an annual festival; it’s a community, a way of life, and a gathering of like- minded individuals who come together in the Nevada desert to celebrate art, self- expression, and the spirit of community. However, this year, the event is facing a significant shift as ticket sales have slumped, leading to a smaller crowd than in previous years.(对于许多人来说，火人节不仅仅是一场年度盛会；它是一个社区，一种生活方式，也是志同道合的人们在内华达沙漠中相聚一堂，共同庆祝艺术、自我表达和社区精神的盛会。然而，今年的活动正面临重大转变，因为门票销售低迷，导致观众人数少于往年。)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要讨论了火人节门票销售下滑的现象，并分析了这一现象可能带来的影响，包括可能吸引真正对其目标感兴趣的新一代参与者。文章还提到了火人节的变化和成长。选项D“Burning Man’s Changing Tides (火人节的潮流变化)”既表达了火人节正在发生变化，又暗示了这种变化是不可避免的，与文章的主题和内容相吻合。故选D。 D In an era where policymakers neglect play’s significance, its absence from national agendas highlights its overlooked status. Since 2008, the UK has lacked a unified play plan, with the Conservative Party (保守党) neglecting previous Labour efforts (unlike Scotland and Wales). Some non- profit organizations are trying hard, yet their impact and resources are limited. The sudden stop to a parliamentary report on children and the built environment, which was close to ending during the election calls, highlights the previous administration’s disrespect for the issue. The children’s minister, David Johnston, reinforced this neglect by refusing to provide evidence, signaling a broader lack of attention to children’s well-being. Amid Labour’s proposals to ease planning regulations to ensure that new developments meet children’s needs, play should take on a more notable role. Even in educational settings, play could offer a healthy alternative to excessive screen time. Experts, including Professor Heler Dodd, stress that the scarcity of opportunities for unstructured and adventurous play contributes to rising anxiety among young people. The well- documented connection between sedentary (久坐的) lifestyles, poor diets, and unhealthy weights emphasizes the importance of addressing this issue immediately. The Centre for Young Lives, founded by Anne Longfield, the former Children’s Commissioner for England, has taken the initiative by launching a commission to advance this critical agenda. A suggested so lution is to incorporate (吸收) play into Ofsted’s inspection framework, although concerns arise about the potential for turning children’s leisure activities into a game or assigning grades. While play is a natural part of childhood, the new government must go beyond the assumption that children will naturally benefit from play without the guidance of strategic policies. Francis Alÿs’s video artwork serves as a powerful reminder of the richness and value of play, emphasizing its potential to enrich lives and foster creativity. Bridget Phillipson, the freshly appointed Education Minister, stands ready to back this vita cause. By acknowledging the urgency to restore play as a cornerstone of childhood, she can pave the way for a brighter, more energetic future for our youth. The moment to act is upon us, and th potential for success is high. 12. What’s the main problem about play in the UK? A. The lack of non-profit organizations’ support. B The election of a new anti- play government. C. The neglect for the crucial role of play in national agendas. D. The success of Scotland and Wales in applying play policies. 13. What is a contributing factor to rising anxiety among young people? A. Excessive screen time. B. A lack of adventurous play. C. Structured play opportunities. D. A healthy lifestyle. 14. What’s the main purpose of writing this article? A. To ease planning regulations to meet kids’ needs. B. To incorporate play into education to limit screen time. C. To promote adventure activities for children. D. To re-emphasize the importance of play in childhood. 15. What’s the tone of Bridget Phillipson in the last paragraph? A. Optimistic. B. Skeptical. C. Indifferent. D. Neutral. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇议论文。主要讨论了英国政府忽视儿童游戏的重要性，并呼吁将游戏作为童年的重要组成部分加以重视。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“In an era where policymakers neglect play’s significance, its absence from national agendas highlights its overlooked status.（在一个决策者忽视玩耍重要性的时代，玩耍在国家议程上的缺失凸显了其被忽视的地位。）”可知，玩耍在英国面临的主要问题是它在国家议程中的被忽视。故选C项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Experts, including Professor Heler Dodd, stress that the scarcity of opportunities for unstructured and adventurous play contributes to rising anxiety among young people.（包括Heler Dodd教授在内的专家强调，缺乏无结构的冒险游戏机会导致年轻人焦虑情绪上升。）”可知，年轻人焦虑增加的一个因素是缺乏冒险游戏。故选B项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章的整体内容和最后一段中的“By acknowledging the urgency to restore play as a cornerstone of childhood, she can pave the way for a brighter, more energetic future for our youth.（通过认识到恢复玩耍作为童年基石的紧迫性，她可以为我们的青年铺平一条更加光明、充满活力的道路。）”可知，这篇文章的主要目的是重新强调玩耍在童年的重要性。故选D项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Bridget Phillipson, the freshly appointed Education Minister, stands ready to back this vital cause.（新任命的教育部长Bridget Phillipson准备支持这一至关重要的事业。）”以及“The moment to act is upon us, and the potential for success is high.（行动的时刻到了，成功的潜力很高。）”可以看出，Bridget Phillipson的态度是乐观的。故选A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。 Will a purpose-driven life help you five longer?

Our family had been through a lot in the last 4 years. She loved her grandparents, but they left us too soon. It really got to her, especially with her sensitive nature. She was down for nearly a year, hardly smiling, just getting by. She lost her sparkle. Back then, I didn’t know what to do for her. She saw my concern, and it just made her sadder. One day, after she headed to school, I sat in the living room, thinking about all our hugs. We’ re a hug family, and it always lifts my spirits. I wished I could have hugged her then to cheer her up too. “Dad, I’m lost without you. I don’t know how to help Bernadette.” Then I thought, “Hugs might cheer her up.” So I started hugging her more, trying to make it feel normal. Little by little, Bernadette started smiling more frequently, and it looked like joy was always with her. She became super excited about her activities, in a way she never had been before. After a couple of months, our hug sessions really cheered her up. I didn’t reveal my intentions, but she understood the depth of those embraces. When she felt blue or anxious, she’d request a hug from me. And if she noticed I was down, she’d give me a warm hug too. It became a natural thing for us — giving and receiving lots of hugs! As time passed, hugging became a regular thing that felt really nice. But when Bernadette started college hunting, we knew we’d have to part ways soon. Her dream school was way far, over 1,700 miles away. Right before she left, we had celebrated my birthday together. She told me she was excited about a surprise gift and went shopping secretly. On my birthday, she presented me with a beautifully, wrapped present. She hoped I’d love it and it’d bring a smile to my face. This gift was like a little reminder of all the hugs and good times we shared. 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。 I opened the accompanying envelope and found a handwritten letter. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Deeply moved, I unwrapped the gift eagerly. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】I opened the accompanying envelope and found a handwritten letter. As I carefully opened the envelope’s delicate paper, my heart raced. Bernadette’s handwriting, now elegant, warmly greeted me. The letter, addressed to “Dear Dad,” took me back to our cherished moments. She expressed gratitude for my silent support, embodied in every hug. Bernadette said those hugs were her beacon during tough times, lifting her up when she stumbled. Despite college’s distance, our love and solace will always be in her heart, guiding her home. She promised to keep our connection through letters and virtual hugs, ending with “Thank you, Dad. My love for you is immeasurable.” My eyes filled with tears of pride, knowing my little girl had grown into a resilient young woman who still treasures our bond. Deeply moved, I unwrapped the gift eagerly. When I peeled back the paper layers, a sleek wooden box appeared, and I was curious about what was inside. I lifted the lid, and inside was a collection of photos — like a photo journal, capturing every moment of our lives together. From our funny selfies to heartfelt family hugs, each photo had a handwritten note next to it, telling the story behind it. Bernadette carefully put together these memories, so I’d always have something to remind me of our happy and tough times, no matter how far apart we are. This gift is a sweet reminder of all the hugs and great times we’ve had. As I look through the pages, feeling her love in every photo, I know Bernadette’s appreciation will stay with me, cheering me up on my upcoming journey and filling my heart with happiness. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者与女儿伯纳黛特之间因家庭变故而经历的情感波动，以及如何通过拥抱和相互支持来重建生活的温暖和幸福。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我打开附带的信封，发现了一封手写的信。”以及第二段首句内容“深受感动，我迫不及待地打开了礼物。”可知，第一段可描写作者的女儿给作者写了一封信，信的内容让作者非常感动。 ②由第二段首句内容“深受感动，我迫不及待地打开了礼物。”可知，第二段可描写女儿为作者准备了特别的礼物，这份礼物让作者感到幸福。 2.续写线索：发现一封信——女儿回忆美好的过往——拥抱改变心态——打开礼物——照片日记——温馨瞬间——感受女儿的爱 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①体现：embody/show ②承诺：promise/make a promise ③充满了：be filled with/be full of 情绪类 ①感激：gratitude/thankfulness ②开心的：happy/delighted 【点睛】【高分句型1】Bernadette said those hugs were her beacon during tough times, lifting her up when she stumbled.（运用了省略引导词that的宾语从句和when引导的状语从句） 【高分句型2】When I peeled back the paper layers, a sleek wooden box appeared, and I was curious about what was inside.（运用了when引导的时间状语从句和what引导的宾语从句） 1-5 BBACA 6-10 ABCCA 11-15 ABACB 16-20 BCBCC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
