B Josefa Marin went to New York from Mexico in 1987, supporting her daughter back home with the $140 a week she earned at a sweater factory. With that small income, she had to collect recyclables, trading in can s for five cents each. When the clothing factory closed down in the late 2000s, she became a full time recycler, picking up cans and bottles to make ends meet. Marin’s story is not unique. Millions around the world make a living from picking through waste and reselling it—a vital role that keeps waste manageable. In New York City, the administrative department collects only about 28 percent of the cans that could be recycled. Rubbish collectors keep millions of additional recyclables out of landfills every year. Yet collectors are ruled out by government policies. The United States Supreme Court in 1988 stated that household garbage is public property once it’s on the street. That enables police to search rubbish for evidence, but that protection hasn’t always been extended to recyclers. And in places like New York City, which is testing city- owned locked containers to hide garbage from rats, containers are made clearly inaccessible far collectors. “There’s value in the waste, and we feel that value should belong to the people, not the city or the corporations,” says Ryan Castalia, director of a nonprofit recycling and community center in Brooklyn. Recognized or not, waste pickers have long been treated with disrespect. Marin recalls an occasion when someone living next to a building where she was collecting cans threw water at her. “Because I recycle doesn’t mean I am less of a person than anyone else,” she says. Some governments are starting to realize that protecting the environment and humanity go hand in hand. The United Nation’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, for example, calls for an end to poverty and all the risks it brings. 4. What is the authors purpose of telling about Marin? A. To highlight waste collectors’ role. B. To reflect laid- off workers’ hardship C. To praise her devotion to her daughter. D. To show the seriousness of unemployment. 5. How does the author show the importance of waste pickers’ work? A. By contrasting B. By citing reference. C. By giving definitions. D. By cause- effect analysis. 6. What would Marin agree with? A. Business is business. B. No job is noble or humble C. The early bird catches worms. D. One good turn deserves another. 7. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. How Can We End Poverty? B. Who Owns Our Garbage? C. Who Takes Blame for Waste? D. How Should We Recycle Rubbish? C Why do we find ugly animals so appealing? And what makes odd-looking creatures so cute? Evolution (进化) plays a role. According to Austrian zoologist Konrad Lorenz, human attraction to childish features, such as big eyes, large heads and soft bodies, is an evolutionary adaptation that helps ensure that adults care for their young, guaranteeing the survival of their species. Odd-looking animals such as blobfish, pugs, and bulldogs all share these childish qualities that initiate an affectionate response among humans. And these childish characteristics increase a person’s “protective behavior, attention and willingness to care” for the individual and reduce the “likelihood of attacks towards a child”, says Marta Borgi, a researcher. Ugly animals often have other value—some, like the blobfish or the naked mole rat, live in extreme environments that they have adapted to in remarkable ways. Scientists are keen to study these animals to understand whether their biology might provide fresh insights that could lead to treatments for human health conditions such as cancer, heart disease and other deadly diseases. Our fascination with ugly-cute animals can also be traced back to culturally-based causes. “The ugly-cute thing is very fashionable,” says Rowena Packer, a lecturer of animal behavior. “This is partly driven by social media, with many influential people showing off pet pugs and French bulldogs on the Internet,” she says. But there are some serious welfare concerns around this trend. Vets are urging people not to choose a flat-faced dog, because they suffer from serious health problems. Pugs and French bulldogs which have been selectively produced experience breathing difficulties, repeated skin infections and eye diseases. We may want to rethink our love for “ugly-cute” animals because of their silly features like protruding (鼓出) eyes and wrinkly faces. 8. Why do people like ugly animals according to Konrad Lorenz? A. People appriciate their efforts to survive. B. People appreciate their super adaptability. C. People are attracted by their childish looks. D. People are fond of their fast response speed. 9. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about? A. What media are changing people. B. How public practices influence people. C. Whether social media is worth believing. D. Why celebrities show off their pet animals. 10. What’s the author’s attitude towards people’s love for ugly animals? A. Opposed. B. Supportive. C. Indifferent. D. Cautious. 11. How does the author mainly answer the questions raised in Paragraph 1? A. By quoting different researchers’ findings. B. By showing some examples of keeping pets. C. By observing people’s behavior towards animals. D. By referring to authoritative evolutionary theory. D An innovative creation will help transform treating diseases. Scientists at Tufts University and Harvard University’s Wyss Institute developed tiny biological robots “Anthrobots” from human cells. These Anthrobots possess the astonishing ability to move across surfaces and have exhibited a remarkable healing (治愈) effect by stimulating neuron (神经元) growth in damaged lab dish regions. This discovery serves as a crucial stepping stone toward the researchers’ vision of employing biological robots as innovative tools for healing, and disease treatment. This breakthrough originates from earlier research conducted by Michael Levin, Professor of Biology at Tufts University School of Arts & Sciences, and Josh Bongard at the University of Vermont. They once created biological robots called Xenobots from frog cells, capable of various functions including self-copying, for a limited number of cycles. However, it was unclear if biological robots could be formed using cells from other species. In their latest study, Levin and Tufts PhD student Gizem Gumuskaya discovered that Anthrobots can indeed be crafted from adult human cells, with capabilities outperforming those observed in Xenobots. Anthrobots showed the ability to move across a surface covered in human neurons grown in a lab dish, facilitating new growth to fill gaps caused by cell layer damage. “It is extremely interesting and completely unexpected that normal patients’ cells, without changing their DNA, can move on their own and encourage neuron growth across a region of damage. We’re now looking at how the healing mechanism works, and asking what else these constructs can do,” says Levin. One of the main advantages of using human cells lies in constructing biological robots from a patient’s cells to perform healing tasks without leading to immune (免疫的) responses. These Anthrobots naturally break down after a few weeks and can be easily absorbed into the body once their function is complete. Anthrobots can only survive under specific laboratory conditions, posing no risk of exposure or unintended spread outside the controlled environment. They do not reproduce, have no genetic changes, and therefore carry no risk of developing beyond safety measures. 12. What do Anthrobots do in healing patients? A. Replace human cells. B. Facilitate neuron growth. C. Create new human cells. D. Move across tissue surfaces. 13 What does the underlined word “crafted” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Made. B. Divided. C. Copied. D. Designed. 14. What is one of the main advantages of Anthrobots? A. They can be easily created from patients’ cells. B. They can be used in many controlled environments. C. They can avoid causing immune responses. D. They can have genetic changes when necessary. 15. Which magazine is the text most probably taken from? A. Advanced Science. B. Sportsnet Magazine. C. Art in America. D. National Geographic. 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 ever noticed how some people can effortlessly talk to anyone they meet, no matter how different their backgrounds are? Or have you seen that one person who always offends someone, no matter what the topic of conversation is? These two scenes show how we can differ in our abilities to interact, get along with, and relate to others around us.____16____ After years of academic research and development, this social competency is now commonly referred to as “social intelligence”. Do you want to improve your social intelligence? Here are great ideas with which to get started. Listen well and pay attention Practice active listening so that you can fully engage and communicate with others. ____17____ It is natural to want to respond to that text message that pops up on your phone immediately, even when you’re in the middle of a face-to-face conversation. Give people your full attention when speaking with them. ____18____ Watch out for body language ____19____ Even if they aren’t saying so, their feelings are truly revealed. Try to tune in to what the other person is saying “physically”. In the same way, be aware of your own body language and how you are presenting yourself. If you slouch and appear physically uninterested during a conversation, it may make the speakers lose confidence in what they are saying, resulting in a negative interaction. Show that you care If you sense that someone is upset, or if someone tells you they are going through some difficulties, show them you truly care. ____20____ A. Life is often fast paced, with many digital distractions. B. Often, people’s gestures will tell us a great deal about how they are feeling. C. Sharing other people’s feelings can help you connect at a more meaningful level. D. People like to feel heard, and it will help you develop worthwhile relationships. E. The speaker fails to deliver a clear and objective message during his presentation. F. Engaging in a meaningful conversation can reduce loneliness and help reconnect with others. G. In the same way that we vary in traditional academic competencies, we can vary in how socially competent we are. 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 In October 2020, 71-year-old Bill Sumiel, battling kidney failure, found himself in an unlikely situation—a ride with Uber that would change his life.

I said no without thinking. I did not love writing. My family came from Brazil, so English was only my second language. Writing was so difficult and painful for me that my teacher had allowed me to present my paper on the sinking of the Titanic by acting out a play, where I played all the parts. No one laughed harder than he did. So, why did he suddenly force me to do something at which I was sure to fail? His reply: “Because I love your stories. If you’re willing to apply yourself, I think you have a good shot at this.” Encouraged by his words, I agreed to give it a try. I chose Paul Revere’s horse as my subject. Paul Revere was a silversmith (银匠) in Boston who rode a horse at night on April 18, 1775 to Lexington to warn people that British soldiers were coming. My story would come straight from the horse’s mouth. Not a brilliant idea, but funny; and unlikely to be anyone else’s choice. What did the horse think, as he sped through the night? Did he get tired? Have doubts? Did he want to quit? I sympathized immediately. I got tired. I had doubts. I wanted to quit. But, like Revere’s horse, I kept going. I worked hard. I checked my spelling. I asked my older sister to correct my grammar. I checked out a half dozen books on Paul Revere from the library. I even read a few of them. When I handed in the essay to my teacher, he read it, laughed out loud, and said, “Great. Now, write it again.” I wrote it again, and again and again. When I finally finished it, the thought of winning had given way to the enjoyment of writing. If I didn’t win, I wouldn’t care. 注意: 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 A few weeks later, when I almost forgot the contest, there came the news. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I went to my teacher’s office after the award presentation. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1.

When the clothing factory closed down in the late 2000s, she became a full time recycler, picking up cans and bottles to make ends meet. Marin’s story is not unique. Millions around the world make a living from picking through waste and reselling it—a vital role that keeps waste manageable. In New York City, the administrative department collects only about 28 percent of the cans that could be recycled. Rubbish collectors keep millions of additional recyclables out of landfills every year. Yet collectors are ruled out by government policies. The United States Supreme Court in 1988 stated that household garbage is public property once it’s on the street. That enables police to search rubbish for evidence, but that protection hasn’t always been extended to recyclers. And in places like New York City, which is testing city- owned locked containers to hide garbage from rats, containers are made clearly inaccessible far collectors. “There’s value in the waste, and we feel that value should belong to the people, not the city or the corporations,” says Ryan Castalia, director of a nonprofit recycling and community center in Brooklyn. Recognized or not, waste pickers have long been treated with disrespect. Marin recalls an occasion when someone living next to a building where she was collecting cans threw water at her. “Because I recycle doesn’t mean I am less of a person than anyone else,” she says. Some governments are starting to realize that protecting the environment and humanity go hand in hand. The United Nation’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, for example, calls for an end to poverty and all the risks it brings. 4. What is the authors purpose of telling about Marin? A. To highlight waste collectors’ role. B. To reflect laid- off workers’ hardship C. To praise her devotion to her daughter. D. To show the seriousness of unemployment. 5. How does the author show the importance of waste pickers’ work? A. By contrasting B. By citing reference. C. By giving definitions. D. By cause- effect analysis. 6. What would Marin agree with? A. Business is business. B. No job is noble or humble C. The early bird catches worms. D. One good turn deserves another. 7. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. How Can We End Poverty? B. Who Owns Our Garbage? C. Who Takes Blame for Waste? D. How Should We Recycle Rubbish? 【答案】4. A 5. A 6. B 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了拾荒者通过回收废品来维持生计，但政府政策却限制了他们的权利。文章就“谁拥有我们的垃圾”展开讨论。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Josefa Marin went to New York from Mexico in 1987, supporting her daughter back home with the $140 a week she earned at a sweater factory. With that small income, she had to collect recyclables, trading in can s for five cents each.(1987年，Josefa Marin从墨西哥来到纽约，在一家毛衣厂每周赚140美元来养活家中的女儿。凭借这么小的收入，她不得不收集可回收物品，以每个五分钱的价格回收空罐子。)”和文章第三段“Marin’s story is not unique. Millions around the world make a living from picking through waste and reselling it — a vital role that keeps waste manageable.(Marin的故事并非个例。全球有数百万人通过捡拾废品并转售为生——这是一个至关重要的角色，有助于控制废品数量。)”可知，作者在文章开头提到了Josefa Marin的故事，主要是为了引出下文，强调废品回收者的角色，即他们在全球范围内通过回收废品为生，对管理废物起着至关重要的作用。因此，作者的目的是要突出废品回收者的角色。故选A。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“In New York City, the administrative department collects only about 28 percent of the cans that could be recycled. Rubbish collectors keep millions of additional recyclables out of landfills every year.(在纽约市，行政部门只能收集大约28%的可回收空罐。而拾荒者每年都能将数百万的可回收物从垃圾填埋场中拯救出来。)”可知，作者通过对比来显示拾荒者工作的重要性。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第六段““Because I recycle doesn’t mean I am less of a person than anyone else,” she says.(“因为我回收废品并不意味着我就比别人低一等，”她说。)”可知，她认为所有的工作都是平等的，没有高贵或卑微之分。因此，她会同意选项B中的观点：“没有工作是高贵或卑微的”。故选B。 【7题详解】 主旨大意。文章主要讲述了拾荒者通过回收废品来维持生计，但政府政策却限制了他们的权利，因此文章的主旨在于探讨谁拥有我们的垃圾。所以，最好的标题是“Who Owns Our Garbage?”，即“我们的垃圾归谁所有？”。故选B。 C Why do we find ugly animals so appealing? And what makes odd-looking creatures so cute? Evolution (进化) plays a role. According to Austrian zoologist Konrad Lorenz, human attraction to childish features, such as big eyes, large heads and soft bodies, is an evolutionary adaptation that helps ensure that adults care for their young, guaranteeing the survival of their species. Odd-looking animals such as blobfish, pugs, and bulldogs all share these childish qualities that initiate an affectionate response among humans. And these childish characteristics increase a person’s “protective behavior, attention and willingness to care” for the individual and reduce the “likelihood of attacks towards a child”, says Marta Borgi, a researcher. Ugly animals often have other value—some, like the blobfish or the naked mole rat, live in extreme environments that they have adapted to in remarkable ways. Scientists are keen to study these animals to understand whether their biology might provide fresh insights that could lead to treatments for human health conditions such as cancer, heart disease and other deadly diseases. Our fascination with ugly-cute animals can also be traced back to culturally-based causes. “The ugly-cute thing is very fashionable,” says Rowena Packer, a lecturer of animal behavior. “This is partly driven by social media, with many influential people showing off pet pugs and French bulldogs on the Internet,” she says. But there are some serious welfare concerns around this trend. Vets are urging people not to choose a flat-faced dog, because they suffer from serious health problems. Pugs and French bulldogs which have been selectively produced experience breathing difficulties, repeated skin infections and eye diseases. We may want to rethink our love for “ugly-cute” animals because of their silly features like protruding (鼓出的) eyes and wrinkly faces. 8. Why do people like ugly animals according to Konrad Lorenz? A People appriciate their efforts to survive. B. People appreciate their super adaptability. C. People are attracted by their childish looks. D. People are fond of their fast response speed. 9. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about? A. What media are changing people. B. How public practices influence people. C. Whether social media is worth believing. D. Why celebrities show off their pet animals. 10. What’s the author’s attitude towards people’s love for ugly animals? A. Opposed. B. Supportive. C. Indifferent. D. Cautious. 11. How does the author mainly answer the questions raised in Paragraph 1? A. By quoting different researchers’ findings. B. By showing some examples of keeping pets. C. By observing people’s behavior towards animals. D. By referring to authoritative evolutionary theory. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了我们觉得又丑又可爱的动物如此有吸引力的原因以及又丑又可爱的动物的其他价值。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“According to Austrian zoologist Konrad Lorenz, human attraction to childish features, such as big eyes, large heads and soft bodies, is an evolutionary adaptation that helps ensure that adults care for their young, guaranteeing the survival of their species. Odd-looking animals such as blobfish, pugs, and bulldogs all share these childish qualities that initiate an affectionate response among humans..(根据奥地利动物学家Konrad Lorenz的说法，人类对大眼睛、大头和柔软身体等幼稚特征的吸引力是一种进化适应，有助于确保成年人照顾他们的幼崽，保证他们物种的生存。长相古怪的动物，如斑点鱼、哈巴狗和斗牛犬，都有这些幼稚的品质，这些品质会在人类中引发深情的反应。)”可知，人们喜欢丑陋的动物是因为被它们幼稚的外表所吸引。故选C。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“Our fascination with ugly-cute animals can also be traced back to culturally-based causes. “The ugly-cute thing is very fashionable,” says Rowena Packer, a lecture r of animal behavior. “This is partly driven by social media, with many influential people showing off pet pugs and French bulldogs on the Internet,” she says.(我们对又丑又可爱的动物的迷恋也可以追溯到基于文化的原因。动物行为学讲师罗威娜·帕克说：“这种丑与可爱的结合非常流行。”她说：“这在一定程度上是由社交媒体推动的，许多有影响力的人在互联网上展示宠物哈巴狗和法国斗牛犬。”)”可知，第四段主要讲的是公共行为如何影响人们。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“But there are some serious welfare concerns around this trend. Vets are urging people not to choose a flat-faced dog, because they suffer from serious health problems. Pugs and French bulldogs which have been selectively produced experience breathing difficulties, repeated skin infections and eye diseases.(但这一趋势引发了一些严重的福利担忧。兽医敦促人们不要选择平脸狗，因为它们有严重的健康问题。选择性饲养的巴哥犬和法国斗牛犬会出现呼吸困难、反复皮肤感染和眼疾)”以及最后一段“We may want to rethink our love for “ugly-cute” animals because of their silly features like protruding (鼓出的) eyes and wrinkly faces.(我们可能需要重新考虑我们对“又丑又可爱”的动物的爱，因为它们有突出的眼睛和皱纹的脸等愚蠢的特征)”可推知，作者对人们对丑陋动物的喜爱持谨慎态度。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“According to Austrian zoologist Konrad Lorenz, human attraction to childish features, such as big eyes, large heads and soft bodies, is an evolutionary adaptation that helps ensure that adults care for their young, guaranteeing the survival of their species.(根据奥地利动物学家Konrad Lorenz说法，人类对大眼睛、大头和柔软身体等幼稚特征的吸引力是一种进化适应，有助于确保成年人照顾他们的幼崽，保证他们物种的生存)”以及“And these childish characteristics increase a person’s “protective behavior, attention and willingness to care” for the individual and reduce the “likelihood of attacks towards a child”, says Marta Borgi, a researcher.(研究人员Marta Borgi说，这些孩子气的特征增加了一个人对个人的“保护行为、关注和关心意愿”，减少了“攻击孩子的可能性”)”可推知，作者主要通过引用不同研究人员的发现回答第1段提出的问题。故选A。 D An innovative creation will help transform treating diseases. Scientists at Tufts University and Harvard University’s Wyss Institute developed tiny biological robots “Anthrobots” from human cells. These Anthrobots possess the astonishing ability to move across surfaces and have exhibited a remarkable healing (治愈) effect by stimulating neuron (神经元) growth in damaged lab dish regions. This discovery serves as a crucial stepping stone toward the researchers’ vision of employing biological robots as innovative tools for healing, and disease treatment. This breakthrough originates from earlier research conducted by Michael Levin, Professor of Biology at Tufts University School of Arts & Sciences, and Josh Bongard at the University of Vermont. They once created biological robots called Xenobots from frog cells, capable of various functions including self-copying, for a limited number of cycles. However, it was unclear if biological robots could be formed using cells from other species. In their latest study, Levin and Tufts PhD student Gizem Gumuskaya discovered that Anthrobots can indeed be crafted from adult human cells, with capabilities outperforming those observed in Xenobots. Anthrobots showed the ability to move across a surface covered in human neurons grown in a lab dish, facilitating new growth to fill gaps caused by cell layer damage. “It is extremely interesting and completely unexpected that normal patients’ cells, without changing their DNA, can move on their own and encourage neuron growth across a region of damage. We’re now looking at how the healing mechanism works, and asking what else these constructs can do,” says Levin. One of the main advantages of using human cells lies in constructing biological robots from a patient’s cells to perform healing tasks without leading to immune (免疫的) responses. These Anthrobots naturally break down after a few weeks and can be easily absorbed into the body once their function is complete. Anthrobots can only survive under specific laboratory conditions, posing no risk of exposure or unintended spread outside the controlled environment. They do not reproduce, have no genetic changes, and therefore carry no risk of developing beyond safety measures. 12. What do Anthrobots do in healing patients? A. Replace human cells. B. Facilitate neuron growth. C. Create new human cells. D. Move across tissue surfaces. 13. What does the underlined word “crafted” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Made. B. Divided. C. Copied. D. Designed. 14. What is one of the main advantages of Anthrobots? A. They can be easily created from patients’ cells. B. They can be used in many controlled environments. C. They can avoid causing immune responses. D. They can have genetic changes when necessary. 15. Which magazine is the text most probably taken from? A. Advanced Science. B. Sportsnet Magazine. C. Art in America. D. National Geographic. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了科学家发明了一种名为Anthrobots的机器人，可以在治疗病人方面促进神经元生长。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“These Anthrobots possess the astonishing ability to move across surfaces and have exhibited a remarkable healing (治愈) effect by stimulating neuron (神经元) growth in damaged lab dish regions.(这些Anthrobots拥有惊人的在表面上移动的能力，并且通过刺激实验室培养皿中受损区域的神经元生长，表现出了非凡的愈合效果)”可知，Anthrobots在治疗病人方面促进神经元生长。故选B。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“Anthrobots showed the ability to move across a surface covered in human neurons grown in a lab dish, facilitating new growth to fill gaps caused by cell layer damage.(人类机器人展示了在实验室培养皿中生长的人类神经元覆盖的表面上移动的能力，促进了新的生长，以填补细胞层损伤造成的空白)”以及划线词后文“from adult human cells”可知，在最新研究中，研究人员发现，人类机器人确实可以从成人细胞中制造出来，故划线词意思是“制造”。故选A。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“One of the main advantages of using human cells lies in constructing biological robots from a patient’s cells to perform healing tasks without leading to immune (免疫的) responses.(使用人类细胞的主要优点之一在于，可以用患者的细胞构建生物机器人，在不引起免疫反应的情况下执行治疗任务)”可知，人类机器人的主要优点是可以避免引起免疫反应。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“An innovative creation will help transform treating diseases. Scientists at Tufts University and Harvard University’s Wyss Institute developed tiny biological robots “Anthrobots” from human cells.(一项创新的发明将有助于改变治疗疾病的方式。塔夫茨大学和哈佛大学威斯研究所的科学家们从人类细胞中开发出了微型生物机器人“Anthrobots”)”结合文章主要说明了科学家发明了一种名为Anthrobots的机器人，可以在治疗病人方面促进神经元生长。可推知，这篇文章最有可能取自高级科学杂志。故选A。 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 ever noticed how some people can effortlessly talk to anyone they meet, no matter how different their backgrounds are?

Over the last two years, some supermarkets ____42____ (start) selling chicken or salad in packs ____43____ (design) with two halves containing separate portions (份). Then, when you use one section, ____44____ other stays fresh. Who knows, perhaps some of the more forward-looking ____45____ (one) may yet come out with a whole range of “just for you” pack sizes with special offers as well. 【答案】36. to benefit 37. or 38. that##which 39. what 40. criticism 41. be offered 42. have started 43. designed 44. the 45. ones 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章对商家各式各样的促销手段进行了介绍。 【36题详解】 考查动词不定式。句意：然而，如果你是想买一件，那么多买一件来享受降价是没有意义的。根据“buying extra”和“from price reductions”可知，此处是指多买一件来享受降价，所以应用to do不定式作目的状语。故填to benefit。 【37题详解】 考查固定句式。句意：要么你买的东西太重，搬不回家，要么你买的东西还新鲜，就不能用了。either...or...意为“要么……要么……”，为固定句式，所以此处应用连词or。故填or。 【38题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：当然，商店不是慈善机构——他们以最赚钱的方式给商品定价。在定语从句中缺少主语，且先行词为way，所以应用关系代词that或which。故填that/which。 【39题详解】 考查名词性从句。句意：如果他们的大多数客户都乐意大量购买，那他们就会推广。在表语从句中缺少宾语，且是指事物，所以应用连接代词what。故填what。 【40题详解】 考查名词。句意：许多超市不再进行“买一送一”的促销活动，因为有人批评这种活动会造成浪费。根据“that they lead to waste”可知，此处应用名词criticism表示“批评”作宾语。故填criticism。 【41题详解】 考查含有情态动词的被动语态。句意：然而，虽然一包香肠能便宜几美分是件好事，但如果有时能以小包装出售，那就更好了。动词offer意为“提供”，和主语构成被动关系，主语they代指前文中的sausages。在情态动词could后动词应用原形。故填be offered。 【42题详解】 考查现在完成时。句意：在过去的两年里，一些超市开始销售鸡肉或沙拉包装，设计成两半，拆分成两份。根据“Over the last two years”可知，此处应用现在完成时。动词start意为“开始”。故填have started。 【43题详解】 考查过去分词。句意：在过去的两年里，一些超市开始销售鸡肉或沙拉包装，设计成两半，拆分成两份。动词design意为“设计”，和谓语之间没有连词，和逻辑主语packs构成被动关系，且动作已完成，所以应用过去分词形式作后置定语。故填designed。 【44题详解】 考查冠词。句意：然后，当你使用其中一部分时，另一部分保持新鲜。the other意为“另一个”，为固定搭配，所以此处应用定冠词the。故填the。 【45题详解】 考查代词。句意：谁知道呢，也许一些更有远见的人可能还会推出一系列“只为你”的包装尺寸，并提供特别优惠。代词one意为“一个人”，在some of后应用复数形式。故填ones。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 46. 假定你是李华，上周五你们班在公园上了一堂美术课。请你给英国朋友Chris写一封邮件分享这次经历，内容包括： （1）你完成的作品； （2）你的感想。 注意： （1）写作词数应为80个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Dear Chris, I’m writing to share with you an art class I had in a park last Friday. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】 Dear Chris, I’m writing to share with you an art class I had in a park last Friday.

Inspired by the fantastic scenery, I decided to create a watercolor painting of the small bridge over the park’s pond, surrounded by blooming flowers. The entire experience was incredibly refreshing. Being surrounded by nature not only sparked my creativity but also offered a much-needed break from the usual hustle and bustle of school life. I felt a deep sense of peace as I painted. In a word, it was not just an art class; it was a moment of connection with nature that I truly cherished.

I said no without thinking. I did not love writing. My family came from Brazil, so English was only my second language. Writing was so difficult and painful for me that my teacher had allowed me to present my paper on the sinking of the Titanic by acting out a play, where I played all the parts. No one laughed harder than he did. So, why did he suddenly force me to do something at which I was sure to fail? His reply: “Because I love your stories. If you’re willing to apply yourself, I think you have a good shot at this.” Encouraged by his words, I agreed to give it a try. I chose Paul Revere’s horse as my subject. Paul Revere was a silversmith (银匠) in Boston who rode a horse at night on April 18, 1775 to Lexington to warn people that British soldiers were coming. My story would come straight from the horse’s mouth. Not a brilliant idea, but funny; and unlikely to be anyone else’s choice. What did the horse think, as he sped through the night? Did he get tired? Have doubts? Did he want to quit? I sympathized immediately. I got tired. I had doubts. I wanted to quit. But, like Revere’s horse, I kept going. I worked hard. I checked my spelling. I asked my older sister to correct my grammar. I checked out a half dozen books on Paul Revere from the library. I even read a few of them. When I handed in the essay to my teacher, he read it, laughed out loud, and said, “Great. Now, write it again.” I wrote it again, and again and again. When I finally finished it, the thought of winning had given way to the enjoyment of writing. If I didn’t win, I wouldn’t care. 注意: 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 A few weeks later, when I almost forgot the contest, there came the news. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I went to my teacher’s office after the award presentation. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 A few weeks later, when I almost forgot the contest, there came the news. I was informed that I won the first prize in the writing contest and that there would be an award presentation in two days. I was so happy to hear the news that I immediately shared it with my teacher. “I knew you’d win! I am proud of you. You made it!” he said excitedly. Then came the big day. When I was invited to the stage to receive the award, I expressed my thanks to my teacher. I said, “It’s you who make me fall in love with writing, my social studies teacher. Without your recognition and guidance, I couldn’t have written this article. Again thank you very much!” I went to my teacher’s office after the award presentation. My teacher was waiting for me. Holding my hands, he said “Congratulations! You are a good writer, so keep writing.” “You know I didn’t like writing before, but now I am crazy about it! I will try my best to create good works.” I said seriously. Since then, I have written many good works and now I am a famous writer. I owe my success to my social teacher who is a beacon in my life on the road to writing. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者上中学的时候，社会学老师邀请作者参加一个写作比赛。作者不喜欢写作，于是想都没想就拒绝了。但是在老师的鼓励下，作者同意试一试。作者在写作过程中虽然很累，但是没有放弃，坚持下来了。在作者最终完成写作时，作者感到写作让他很快乐，他已经不在乎输赢了。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“几个星期后，当我几乎忘记比赛的时候，传来了消息。”和第二段首句“颁奖后我去了老师的办公室。”可知，第一段可描写作者获得比赛一等奖，在颁奖典礼上作者表达了对社会老师的感激。 ②由第二段首句内容“颁奖后我去了老师的办公室。”可知，第二段可描写老师鼓励作者继续写作，自此作者坚持写作取得了成功，作者将这一切归功于自己的老师。 2.续写线索：比赛消息传来——作者获奖——高兴——颁奖典礼感谢老师——颁奖后来到老师办公室——老师告诉作者坚持写作——作者表达了对写作的喜爱——作者写作取得了成功——感激老师 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①告知：inform/tell ②成功做到：make it/succeed ③表达：express/convey 情绪类 ①高兴的：happy/glad ②激动地：excitedly/with excitement 【点睛】[高分句型1] I was informed that I won the first prize in the writing contest and that there would be an award presentation in two days. （运用了由连接词that引导的宾语从句） [高分句型2] It’s you who make me fall in love with writing, my social studies teacher.（运用了强调句） [高分句型3] I owe my success to my social teacher who is a beacon in my life on the road to writing.（运用了who引导的限制性定语从句） 听力1.
