B Students’ social-emotional skills are positively correlated with their reading and math performance, according to a study by Branching Minds, an ed-tech company. It found that 60-70 percent of students who were identified as needing additional social-emotional support were also identified as needing additional academic support. To understand the links between social-emotional learning (SEL) and academic outcomes, the study analyzed student screening assessments for social-emotional skills and reading and math performance of nearly 4,000 K-8 students in the 2021-22 school year. The study’s findings are in line with previous research that shows social-emotional learning has a positive impact on students’ academic achievement, but there’s still a gap in understanding how those pieces of data about academic and social-emotional strengths should be integrated and used together to create intervention plans for students. The study also found that social-emotional skills may act as “a protective factor” for some students performing below academic standards, meaning that students’ social-emotional strengths could be used to boost their academic achievement, said Essie Sutton, the director of learning science at Branching Minds. Therefore, “it would be beneficial for educators to think about more combined support plans for struggling students,” she added. For example, if a student is struggling with reading, but he is very social, “how can we build that into a support plan, and perhaps make these targeted or individualized reading support groups more social and play to that strength that they have?” Perhaps the student could take on the role of teacher and explain something to their peers in order to help them practice reading comprehension, as well as social skills, Sutton said. In the study, it is recommended that results from academic, social-emotional, and behavioral screeners should be used when developing intervention plans for students. “It’s really important to look at students’ strengths and needs comprehensively,” Sutton said. To do that, district and school leaders should ensure that their academic, behavioral, and social-emotional support teams work together and that all stakeholders-students, parents, and teachers-are part of the process of creating intervention plans. 4. How did the researchers carry out the study? A. By interviewing students. B. By carrying out experiments. C. By conducting data analysis. D. By referring to the previous data. 5. Why is the example mentioned in paragraph 5? A. To attach great importance to social skills. B. To narrow the gap of the previous research. C. To explain social skills can protect everyone. D. To advocate the integrated support strategies. 6 What matters when designing intervention strategies according to the passage? A. Cooperation. B. Assessment. C. Flexibility. D. Individuality. 7. What is the passage mainly about? A. The prospect of applying social emotional skills. B. The effects SEL skills have on academic performance. C. The methods to develop students’ SEL skills to the full. D. The useful intervention plans for academic performance. C Artificial intelligence-powered medical treatment options are on the rise and have the potential to improve diagnostic accuracy, but a new study found that about almost half of participants would choose a human doctor rather than AI for diagnosis and treatment. “While many patients appear resistant to the use of AI, accuracy of information and a slight push from physicians may help increase acceptance,” Dr. Slepian mentioned the study’s other primary finding: that a human touch can help clinical practices use AI to their advantage and earn patients’ trust. “To ensure the benefits of AI are secured in clinical practice, future research on best methods of physician involvement and patient decision making is required.” In the study, participants were asked whether they would prefer to have an AI system or a physical doctor for diagnosis and treatment, and under what circumstances. Researchers conducted structured interviews with actual patients, testing their reactions to current and future AI technologies. Then they. polled 2,472 participants across diverse ethnic, racial and socioeconomic groups using a blinded, randomized survey. Overall, participants were almost evenly split, with more than 52% choosing human doctors as a preference versus approximately 47% choosing an AI diagnostic method. If study participants were informed their primary care physicians felt AI was superior, the acceptance of AI by study participants on re-questioning increased. This signaled the significance of the human physician in guiding a patient’s decision. Disease severity didn’t affect participants’ trust in AI. Compared to White participants, Black ones selected AI less often and Native Americans more often. Older participants were less likely to choose it, as were those who self-identified as politically conservative. These findings suggest differing groups will need specific attention as to informing them as to the value and usefulness of AI to enhance diagnoses. “I feel this study will guide many future studies and clinical translational decisions even now,” Dr. Slepian said. “The onus will be on physicians and others in health care to ensure that information in AI systems is accurate, and to continue to maintain and enhance the accuracy of AI systems as they will play an increasing role in the future of health care.” 8. What can be inferred from Dr. Slepian’s words in Paragraph 2? A. Most patients are still doubtful about AI medical treatment. B. Human physicians can do a lot to promote AI medical treatment. C. The unacceptance of AI is mainly due to the inaccuracy of information. D. The reality that patients choose human doctors limits the development of AI. 9. What’s the key factor in increasing participants’ preference for AI treatment? A. The gravity of the disease. B. The guidance of the physician. C. The superiority of AI system. D. The personal background of the participant. 10. What does the underlined word “onus” in the last paragraph mean? A. Responsibility. B. Attempt. C. Dependence. D. Focus. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. The Trust in AI: A Split among Patients. B. Bridging the Gap: Human Doctors and AI. C. An Important Study: The Future of AI Systems. D. Improving Diagnostic Accuracy: The Role of AI. D Many have probably heard of Thoreau, even though his message of simplicity may sound old-fashioned. Nowadays, smartphones flood us with text messages. Many consumers are buying the latest digital devices, from tablets and fitness trackers to commercial drones. Simple living seems to be a thing of the past. As a writer who declared the value of simplicity almost two centuries ago, Thoreau was a contrarian (叛逆者) for his time. He lived during the height of the Industrial Age, distinguished by the rise of large factories, expanding urban developments, and powerful machines such as steam engines. Turned off by the constant hustle and bustle of his time, Thoreau withdrew from city life to live alone in the woods. He brought with him only the necessities of life and wrote about this adventure in his book Walden. In Walden, Thoreau is basically making a philosophical statement. We are not living deliberate or meaningful lives, thanks (or no thanks) to modern technology. We created powerful machines to make life more convenient. Unfortunately, these machines have done the opposite. In his words, “men have become the tools of their tools”. That is to say, we are not the ones controlling technology. Technology is controlling us. Let me try updating Thoreau’s message with a couple 21st-century examples. Every few minutes, smartphones may distract us with messages. At least half of Americans check their phones several times an hour. Meanwhile, information overload from social media can weaken our concentration and heighten confusion. When technology causes that much distraction and confusion, it may be healthy to simplify life by reducing technology overuse. Personally, I’ve done so in two ways. First, I use very little data on my phone and keep the apps on it to a minimum. The vast majority of the time, I only use my phone to call or text. Second, I quit most social media. Sure, those two things aren’t as extreme as Thoreau withdrawing into the woods. Nevertheless, they’re realistic moves I can make toward living a more meaningful life. 12. Which statement would Thoreau probably agree with? A. Technology holds back our ambition. B. Technology is key to a meaningful life. C. Simplicity is possible in a tech-driven world. D. Simplicity is outdated in modern times. 13. What was the primary reason for Thoreau’s withdrawing from city life? A. To escape the harsh economic conditions of his time. B. To throw himself into the completion of his masterpiece. C. To experience a new and exciting lifestyle away from technology. D. To find a quieter existence that allows for deeper reflection and purpose. 14. What is presented in the last paragraph of the text? A. Theoretical models. B. Popular beliefs. C. Practical measures. D. Realistic analyses. 15. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To criticize the overuse of 21st-century modern technology. B. To illustrate Thoreau’s ideas on simple living in the modern context. C. To explore the role of technology in shaping contemporary lifestyles. D. To examine the effects of reduced social media use on personal well-being. 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。 Rock climbing has become a mainstream pleasure enjoyed by many. The natural world offers a thrilling adventure through beautiful environments filled with wildlife. However, rock climbing happens in places that are generally hard to access and unsuitable for agricultural expansion and urbanization. As a result, they have generally suffered less human impact and the areas tend to be important sites for biodiversity. ___16___ With the sport booming, the amazing biodiversity sustained by cliff ecosystems is under pressure. ___17___ Giving nesting birds some place is what climbers can do. The presence of climbers at the cliff where birds are nesting tends to cause them to abandon their chicks to starvation. Climbers should check in advance if there are any bird nesting restrictions. This information is usually available on climbing guidebooks. ___18___ If climbers spot a nest, try to leave a note and find a way to communicate this to the rest of the local climbing community. Some cliff- specialist plant species have very narrow ranges. If a suitable habitat is rare, they have few opportunities to grow elsewhere. However, climbers can remove vegetation and soil when establishing a route that has not been climbed before. ___19___ So climbers should keep the impact on vegetation in mind when developing new climbing routes. Even they can work with other route developers and conservationists to understand the potential impact on the plants. The number of climbers heading out to these cliffs is increasing at an astonishing pace. It is essential for climbers to know what they can do for the protection of the cliff ecosystem. ___20___ Please help those with less experience and knowledge by sharing the information about climbing and biodiversity damage! A. This can wipe out the cliff ecosystem that was there previously. B. And some organizations have an online database offered to check. C. Therefore, every climber is responsible for protecting the cliff ecosystem. D. Even climbers can ask the climbing gym to organise a discussion about this topic. E. Seemingly a straightforward way is to spread the word about these good practices. F. These data can then be accessed by scientists to avoid environmental issues on cliffs. G. For example, 40% of sport climbing areas in Spain are found in nature protection areas. 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。 Staton, once a Maryland sanitation（公共卫生） worker, was accepted to Harvard Law School.

However unpleasant I felt the places were, I decided to apply for a part-time job at a popular restaurant. The reason was simple: I needed money. I wanted to join a camping trip to the Blue Mountains with my friends, but that would cost about 150 dollars. “You have to pay for entertainment by yourself,” my parents said. So I applied, and Mr. Smith, the boss of the restaurant, allowed me to have a try. My job was super easy and boring: the newly prepared dishes would be put at the counter between the kitchen and dining room, and it was my duty to deliver them to the right customers. The first few days were tiring but OK. However, setbacks soon followed as I struggled to keep pace during a particularly busy lunch rush. I awkwardly spilled a tray of drinks, making loud noises and the floor messy. I was embarrassed and began to feel nervous. One evening, I mixed up orders for a large party, causing chaos and frustration. I felt desperate. I screwed everything up. Then I heard Mr. Smith call me, and I went into his office with my head low. To my surprise, he didn’t blame me. Instead, he made me a cup of coffee. “Relax, young man,” he said. “Try to smile. Things always go wrong if you can’t really enjoy what you’re doing. Feel the fun in the job, and you’ll be OK!” I thought he was right. The next day when I was working, I glimpsed into the kitchen and was amazed: in the narrow and crowded space everyone was busy — the chefs swirling (翻动) pans, the manager yelling customers’ requirements, others coming and going with dishes to deliver — but everything went smoothly without any lumping or bumping. This was incredible! 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。 My attitudes towards the restaurant job began to change. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On the last day of my contract, I went into Mr. Smith’s office again when I finished my job. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025届高三期初学业质量监测试卷 英语 注意事项 考生在答题前请认真阅读本注意事项及各题答题要求 1. 本试卷共10页，满分150分，考试时间为120分钟。考试结束后，请将答题卷交回。 2. 答题前，请您务必将自己的姓名、准考证号、座位号用0.5毫米黑色字迹签字笔填写在答题卷上。 3. 请认真核对监考员在答题卡上所粘贴的条形码上的姓名、考试证号与你本人的是否相符。 4. 作答选择题必须用2B铅笔把答题卡对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，请用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其它答案。作答非选择题必须用书写黑色字迹的0.5毫米的签字笔写在答题卷上的指定位置，在其它位置作答一律无效。 第一部分：听力（共两节，满分30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） 听下面的5段对话。每段对话后都有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

It found that 60-70 percent of students who were identified as needing additional social-emotional support were also identified as needing additional academic support. To understand the links between social-emotional learning (SEL) and academic outcomes, the study analyzed student screening assessments for social-emotional skills and reading and math performance of nearly 4,000 K-8 students in the 2021-22 school year. The study’s findings are in line with previous research that shows social-emotional learning has a positive impact on students’ academic achievement, but there’s still a gap in understanding how those pieces of data about academic and social-emotional strengths should be integrated and used together to create intervention plans for students. The study also found that social-emotional skills may act as “a protective factor” for some students performing below academic standards, meaning that students’ social-emotional strengths could be used to boost their academic achievement, said Essie Sutton, the director of learning science at Branching Minds. Therefore, “it would be beneficial for educators to think about more combined support plans for struggling students,” she added. For example, if a student is struggling with reading, but he is very social, “how can we build that into a support plan, and perhaps make these targeted or individualized reading support groups more social and play to that strength that they have?” Perhaps the student could take on the role of teacher and explain something to their peers in order to help them practice reading comprehension, as well as social skills, Sutton said. In the study, it is recommended that results from academic, social-emotional, and behavioral screeners should be used when developing intervention plans for students. “It’s really important to look at students’ strengths and needs comprehensively,” Sutton said. To do that, district and school leaders should ensure that their academic, behavioral, and social-emotional support teams work together and that all stakeholders-students, parents, and teachers-are part of the process of creating intervention plans. 4. How did the researchers carry out the study? A. By interviewing students. B. By carrying out experiments. C. By conducting data analysis. D. By referring to the previous data. 5. Why is the example mentioned in paragraph 5? A. To attach great importance to social skills. B. To narrow the gap of the previous research. C. To explain social skills can protect everyone. D. To advocate the integrated support strategies. 6. What matters when designing intervention strategies according to the passage? A. Cooperation. B. Assessment. C. Flexibility. D. Individuality. 7. What is the passage mainly about? A. The prospect of applying social emotional skills. B. The effects SEL skills have on academic performance. C. The methods to develop students’ SEL skills to the full. D. The useful intervention plans for academic performance. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。一项研究表明，学生的社会情感能力与他们在学业上的表现是正相关的，教育人士或可利用这一点对学生给予支持。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“To understand the links between social-emotional learning (SEL) and academic outcomes, the study analyzed student screening assessments for social-emotional skills and reading and math performance of nearly 4,000 K-8 students in the 2021-22 school year.（为了了解社会情感学习（SEL）与学业成绩之间的联系，该研究分析了2021-22学年涵盖幼儿园到八年级共近4000名学生的社会情感技能、阅读和数学成绩的筛查评估情况。）”可知，该项研究主要是通过进行数据分析来完成的。故选C项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。先分析第五段所给例子“For example, if a student is struggling with reading, but he is very social（例如，如果一个学生阅读比较吃力，但他是社交达人）”及研究机构的负责人Sutton给出的建议“Perhaps the student could take on the role of teacher and explain something to their peers in order to help them practice reading comprehension, as well as social skills（也许这名学生可以扮演老师的角色，向其他同学阐述说明，从而帮助他们练习阅读理解和社交技能）”可知，这显然是承接上文末尾的“Therefore, “it would be beneficial for educators to think about more combined support plans for struggling students,” she added.（因此，她补充道：“教育工作者为陷入困境的学生想出更多的综合支持计划，这将是十分有益的。”）”即通过例子来倡导、鼓励教育人士结合社会情感和学业两方面为学生提供一些帮助和支持。故选D项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“To do that, district and school leaders should ensure that their academic, behavioral, and social-emotional support teams work together and that all stakeholders-students, parents, and teachers-are part of the process of creating intervention plans.（为此，学区和学校领导应确保他们的学术、行为和社会情感支持团队协同工作，并确保所有利益相关者——学生、家长和教师——都参与到制定干预计划的过程中。）”可知，在设计干预策略的过程中，最重要的就是各方的协调与合作，共同努力。故选A项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。总览全文可知，文章从一项研究结果引入，指出学生的社会情感能力对其学业表现的正向影响，B选项“社会情感学习能力对于学术表现的影响”符合文章的主要内容。故选B项。 C Artificial intelligence-powered medical treatment options are on the rise and have the potential to improve diagnostic accuracy, but a new study found that about almost half of participants would choose a human doctor rather than AI for diagnosis and treatment. “While many patients appear resistant to the use of AI, accuracy of information and a slight push from physicians may help increase acceptance,” Dr. Slepian mentioned the study’s other primary finding: that a human touch can help clinical practices use AI to their advantage and earn patients’ trust. “To ensure the benefits of AI are secured in clinical practice, future research on best methods of physician involvement and patient decision making is required.” In the study, participants were asked whether they would prefer to have an AI system or a physical doctor for diagnosis and treatment, and under what circumstances. Researchers conducted structured interviews with actual patients, testing their reactions to current and future AI technologies. Then they. polled 2,472 participants across diverse ethnic, racial and socioeconomic groups using a blinded, randomized survey. Overall, participants were almost evenly split, with more than 52% choosing human doctors as a preference versus approximately 47% choosing an AI diagnostic method. If study participants were informed their primary care physicians felt AI was superior, the acceptance of AI by study participants on re-questioning increased. This signaled the significance of the human physician in guiding a patient’s decision. Disease severity didn’t affect participants’ trust in AI. Compared to White participants, Black ones selected AI less often and Native Americans more often. Older participants were less likely to choose it, as were those who self-identified as politically conservative. These findings suggest differing groups will need specific attention as to informing them as to the value and usefulness of AI to enhance diagnoses. “I feel this study will guide many future studies and clinical translational decisions even now,” Dr. Slepian said. “The onus will be on physicians and others in health care to ensure that information in AI systems is accurate, and to continue to maintain and enhance the accuracy of AI systems as they will play an increasing role in the future of health care.” 8 What can be inferred from Dr. Slepian’s words in Paragraph 2? A. Most patients are still doubtful about AI medical treatment. B. Human physicians can do a lot to promote AI medical treatment. C. The unacceptance of AI is mainly due to the inaccuracy of information. D. The reality that patients choose human doctors limits the development of AI. 9. What’s the key factor in increasing participants’ preference for AI treatment? A. The gravity of the disease. B. The guidance of the physician. C. The superiority of AI system. D. The personal background of the participant. 10. What does the underlined word “onus” in the last paragraph mean? A. Responsibility. B. Attempt. C. Dependence. D. Focus. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. The Trust in AI: A Split among Patients. B. Bridging the Gap: Human Doctors and AI. C. An Important Study: The Future of AI Systems. D. Improving Diagnostic Accuracy: The Role of AI. 【答案】8. B 9. B 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了患者对AI医疗的信任问题，并指出患者在选择AI和人类医生时存在分歧。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段““While many patients appear resistant to the use of AI, accuracy of information and a slight push from physicians may help increase acceptance,” Dr. Slepian mentioned the study’s other primary finding: that a human touch can help clinical practices use AI to their advantage and earn patients’ trust. “To ensure the benefits of AI are secured in clinical practice, future research on best methods of physician involvement and patient decision making is required.”(“虽然许多患者似乎对人工智能的使用持抵制态度,但信息的准确性和医生的轻微推动可能有助于提高接受 度，“Slepian博士提到了该研究的另一个主要发现:人性化的接触可以帮助临床实践利用人工智能并赢得患者的信任。”为了确保人工智能的好处在临床实践中得到保障,需要对医生参与和患者决策的最佳方法进行未来的研究。”)可知,从斯莱皮安博士的话可 以推断人类医生可以做很多事情来促进人工智能医疗，故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“If study participants were informed their primary care physicians felt AI was superior, the acceptance of AI by study participants on re-questioning increased. This signaled the significance of the human physician in guiding a patient’s decision.”（如果研究参与者被告知他们的初级保健医生认为人工智能更优越，那么研究参与者对人工智能的接受度就会增加。这标志着人类医生在指导病人做出决定方面的重要性。）可知，医生的指导是增加参与者对AI治疗偏好的关键因素。故选B。 10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据最后一段“to continue to maintain and enhance the accuracy of AI systems as they will play an increasing role in the future of health care.”（并继续保持和提高人工智能系统的准确性，因为它们将在未来的医疗保健中发挥越来越大的作用。）可知，保持和提高人工智能系统的准确性的医生和其他医疗保健人员，所以医生和其他医疗保健人员有责任确保人工智能系统中的信息准确。所以划线词的意思是“责任”。故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Artificial intelligence-powered medical treatment options are on the rise and have the potential to improve diagnostic accuracy, but a new study found that about almost half of participants would choose a human doctor rather than AI for diagnosis and treatment.”（人工智能驱动医疗选择正在增加，并有可能提高诊断的准确性，但一项新的研究发现，大约一半的参与者会选择人类医生而不是人工智能进行诊断和治疗。）和最后一段““I feel this study will guide many future studies and clinical translational decisions even now,” Dr. Slepian said. “The onus will be on physicians and others in health care to ensure that information in AI systems is accurate, and to continue to maintain and enhance the accuracy of AI systems as they will play an increasing role in the future of health care.”(斯菜皮安博士说:“我觉得即使现在,这项研究也将指导许多未来的研究和临床转化决策。”“医生和其他医疗保健人员将有责任确保人工智能系统中的信息准确无误,并继续维护和提高人工智能系统的准确性,因为它们将在未来的医疗保健中发挥越来越大的作用。”)”可知，本文主要说明了人类医生和人工智能的关系，通过人类医生的帮助来提供人类对人工智能的信心。B选项“弥合差距:人类医生与人工智能”符合文意。故选B。 D Many have probably heard of Thoreau, even though his message of simplicity may sound old-fashioned. Nowadays, smartphones flood us with text messages. Many consumers are buying the latest digital devices, from tablets and fitness trackers to commercial drones. Simple living seems to be a thing of the past. As a writer who declared the value of simplicity almost two centuries ago, Thoreau was a contrarian (叛逆者) for his time. He lived during the height of the Industrial Age, distinguished by the rise of large factories, expanding urban developments, and powerful machines such as steam engines. Turned off by the constant hustle and bustle of his time, Thoreau withdrew from city life to live alone in the woods. He brought with him only the necessities of life and wrote about this adventure in his book Walden. In Walden, Thoreau is basically making a philosophical statement. We are not living deliberate or meaningful lives, thanks (or no thanks) to modern technology. We created powerful machines to make life more convenient. Unfortunately, these machines have done the opposite. In his words, “men have become the tools of their tools”. That is to say, we are not the ones controlling technology. Technology is controlling us. Let me try updating Thoreau’s message with a couple 21st-century examples. Every few minutes, smartphones may distract us with messages. At least half of Americans check their phones several times an hour. Meanwhile, information overload from social media can weaken our concentration and heighten confusion. When technology causes that much distraction and confusion, it may be healthy to simplify life by reducing technology overuse. Personally, I’ve done so in two ways. First, I use very little data on my phone and keep the apps on it to a minimum. The vast majority of the time, I only use my phone to call or text. Second, I quit most social media. Sure, those two things aren’t as extreme as Thoreau withdrawing into the woods. Nevertheless, they’re realistic moves I can make toward living a more meaningful life. 12. Which statement would Thoreau probably agree with? A. Technology holds back our ambition. B. Technology is key to a meaningful life. C. Simplicity is possible in a tech-driven world. D. Simplicity is outdated in modern times. 13. What was the primary reason for Thoreau’s withdrawing from city life? A. To escape the harsh economic conditions of his time. B. To throw himself into the completion of his masterpiece. C. To experience a new and exciting lifestyle away from technology. D. To find a quieter existence that allows for deeper reflection and purpose. 14. What is presented in the last paragraph of the text? A. Theoretical models. B. Popular beliefs. C. Practical measures. D. Realistic analyses. 15. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To criticize the overuse of 21st-century modern technology. B. To illustrate Thoreau’s ideas on simple living in the modern context. C. To explore the role of technology in shaping contemporary lifestyles. D. To examine the effects of reduced social media use on personal well-being. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了Thoreau提倡的简单生活理念，并将其与现代科技时代的生活进行对比，探讨了如何在科技驱动的世界中实现简单生活。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第一段中“Many have probably heard of Thoreau, even though his message of simplicity may sound old-fashioned. (许多人可能听说过Thoreau，尽管他的简朴思想听起来有些过时。)”和第三段“Turned off by the constant hustle and bustle of his time, Thoreau withdrew from city life to live alone in the woods. He brought with him only the necessities of life and wrote about this adventure in his book Walden. In Walden, Thoreau is basically making a philosophical statement. We are not living deliberate or meaningful lives, thanks (or no thanks) to modern technology. We created powerful machines to make life more convenient. Unfortunately, these machines have done the opposite. In his words, “men have become the tools of their tools”. (Thoreau对生活中不断的喧嚣感到厌烦，他退出了城市生活，独自一人住在树林里。他只带了生活必需品，并把这次冒险写成了他的书《Walden》。在《Walden》中，Thoreau基本上是在做一个哲学陈述。感谢（或不感谢）现代科技，我们没有过着深思熟虑或有意义的生活。我们创造了强大的机器，使生活更方便。不幸的是，这些机器起到了相反的作用。用他的话来说，“人类已经成为工具的工具”。)”可知，Thoreau提倡简单生活，并认为简单生活是有价值的，因此他可能会同意在科技驱动的世界中简单生活是有可能的这一观点。所以答案是C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“Turned off by the constant hustle and bustle of his time, Thoreau withdrew from city life to live alone in the woods.

First, I use very little data on my phone and keep the apps on it to a minimum. The vast majority of the time, I only use my phone to call or text. Second, I quit most social media. Sure, those two things aren’t as extreme as Thoreau withdrawing into the woods. Nevertheless, they’re realistic moves I can make toward living a more meaningful life. (就我个人而言，我以两种方式做到这一点。首先，我在手机上使用很少的数据，并尽量减少手机上的应用程序。大多数时候，我只用手机打电话或发短信。其次，我退出了大多数社交媒体。当然，这两件事并不像梭罗躲进树林那样极端。然而，这些都是我可以朝着更有意义的生活迈出的现实的一步。)”可知，作者提到自己减少技术使用的两个实际措施：减少手机数据使用和退出大部分社交媒体。这些都是实际的措施。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第一段中“Many have probably heard of Thoreau, even though his message of simplicity may sound old-fashioned. (许多人可能听说过Thoreau，尽管他的简朴思想听起来有些过时。)”和倒数第二段中的“Let me try updating Thoreau’s message with a couple 21st-century examples. (让我试着用几个21世纪的例子来更新梭罗的观点。)”、最后一段中的“Personally, I’ve done so in two ways. First, I use very little data on my phone and keep the apps on it to a minimum. The vast majority of the time, I only use my phone to call or text. Second, I quit most social media.

The natural world offers a thrilling adventure through beautiful environments filled with wildlife. However, rock climbing happens in places that are generally hard to access and unsuitable for agricultural expansion and urbanization. As a result, they have generally suffered less human impact and the areas tend to be important sites for biodiversity. ___16___ With the sport booming, the amazing biodiversity sustained by cliff ecosystems is under pressure. ___17___ Giving nesting birds some place is what climbers can do. The presence of climbers at the cliff where birds are nesting tends to cause them to abandon their chicks to starvation. Climbers should check in advance if there are any bird nesting restrictions. This information is usually available on climbing guidebooks. ___18___ If climbers spot a nest, try to leave a note and find a way to communicate this to the rest of the local climbing community. Some cliff- specialist plant species have very narrow ranges. If a suitable habitat is rare, they have few opportunities to grow elsewhere. However, climbers can remove vegetation and soil when establishing a route that has not been climbed before. ___19___ So climbers should keep the impact on vegetation in mind when developing new climbing routes. Even they can work with other route developers and conservationists to understand the potential impact on the plants. The number of climbers heading out to these cliffs is increasing at an astonishing pace. It is essential for climbers to know what they can do for the protection of the cliff ecosystem. ___20___ Please help those with less experience and knowledge by sharing the information about climbing and biodiversity damage! A. This can wipe out the cliff ecosystem that was there previously. B. And some organizations have an online database offered to check. C. Therefore, every climber is responsible for protecting the cliff ecosystem. D. Even climbers can ask the climbing gym to organise a discussion about this topic. E. Seemingly a straightforward way is to spread the word about these good practices. F. These data can then be accessed by scientists to avoid environmental issues on cliffs. G. For example, 40% of sport climbing areas in Spain are found in nature protection areas. 【答案】16. G 17. C 18. B 19. A 20.

However unpleasant I felt the places were, I decided to apply for a part-time job at a popular restaurant. The reason was simple: I needed money. I wanted to join a camping trip to the Blue Mountains with my friends, but that would cost about 150 dollars. “You have to pay for entertainment by yourself,” my parents said. So I applied, and Mr. Smith, the boss of the restaurant, allowed me to have a try. My job was super easy and boring: the newly prepared dishes would be put at the counter between the kitchen and dining room, and it was my duty to deliver them to the right customers. The first few days were tiring but OK. However, setbacks soon followed as I struggled to keep pace during a particularly busy lunch rush. I awkwardly spilled a tray of drinks, making loud noises and the floor messy. I was embarrassed and began to feel nervous. One evening, I mixed up orders for a large party, causing chaos and frustration. I felt desperate. I screwed everything up. Then I heard Mr. Smith call me, and I went into his office with my head low. To my surprise, he didn’t blame me. Instead, he made me a cup of coffee. “Relax, young man,” he said. “Try to smile. Things always go wrong if you can’t really enjoy what you’re doing. Feel the fun in the job, and you’ll be OK!” I thought he was right. The next day when I was working, I glimpsed into the kitchen and was amazed: in the narrow and crowded space everyone was busy — the chefs swirling (翻动) pans, the manager yelling customers’ requirements, others coming and going with dishes to deliver — but everything went smoothly without any lumping or bumping. This was incredible! 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。 My attitudes towards the restaurant job began to change. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On the last day of my contract, I went into Mr. Smith’s office again when I finished my job. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: My attitudes towards the restaurant job began to change. I smiled to everyone I met, and they returned me with warmer smiles, which made me relaxed and even more concentrated on my job. Following the smiles were natural conversations, jokes and laughter, and an air of harmony was created where I worked. I still made some mistakes like forgetting the change or wrong deliveries, but they were easily corrected with a little kind reminding. I even tried helping out in the kitchen preparing the food. “You can be a good chef!” They encouraged me. Why not? Who knew! On the last day of my contract, I went into Mr. Smith’s office again when I finished my job. I thanked him for giving me the job opportunity, especially for forgiving me when I caused chaos. My gratitude was sincere, for the experience not just greatly promoted my understanding of restaurant jobs, but was beneficial to anything else I would do. In return, Mr. Smith thanked me for my job performance, and paid me the salary that I needed for my camp trip. My father was right: I had to earn it by myself, because what I gained was a lot more. 【解析】 【导语】本文以时间为线索展开，主要讲述了作者为了赚取去露营的费用，决定在一家受欢迎的餐厅申请兼职工作。尽管他对餐厅厨房的混乱声音感到不适，但经济需求促使他申请了这个职位。他的工作是将厨房做好的菜送到顾客那里，虽然简单但很快他就感到了压力，尤其是在高峰时段。他犯了一些错误，如打翻饮料和搞混订单，这让他感到绝望和尴尬。然而，餐厅老板Smith先生并没有责怪他，而是鼓励他放松并享受工作，认为这样会改善他的表现。受到启发后，作者尝试以积极的态度看待工作，惊讶地发现厨房中的混乱其实是有序的。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我对餐馆工作的态度开始改变”可知，第一段可描写作者开始积极地对待自己的工作，认真地干活，以及作者虽然还是会犯错，但是会及时纠正，心情轻松很多。 ②由第二段首句内容“在我合同的最后一天，我下班后又去了Smith先生的办公室”可知，第二段可描写作者真诚地感谢Smith先生，并领取自己的薪水，以及作者从这个经历中得到的感悟。 2. 续写线索：工作态度转变——积极工作——心情变化——去Smith先生的办公室——感谢Smith先生——感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①遇到：meet/encounter ②专注于：concentrate on/focus on ③创造：create/generate ④促进：promote/facilitate/advance ⑤收获：gain/attain/achieve 情绪类 ①放松的：relaxed/relieved ②感激：gratitude/gratefulness 【点睛】[高分句型1] I smiled to everyone I met, and they returned me with warmer smiles, which made me relaxed and even more concentrated on my job.
