I’m not sure how I do it, but I’ve had that ability since the age of twelve. I took music lessons from the age of six. I also write music. Although I’m a language teacher, I can’t write words to songs. I have to turn to others for the words. Actually, I have more confidence in my book-writing ability than my song-writing ability. 听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 18. What is the speaker doing? A. Hosting a radio program. B.

What do we know about coal-mining jobs in America? A. They’re boring. B. They’re dangerous. C. They’re poorly paid. 【答案】18. A 19. C 20. B 【解析】 【原文】W: Our listener question this week comes from Australia. Jeff Bailey has been listening to our program since 2004. And he wants to know more about coal-mining in the United States. The United States produces about half of its electric power from coal. America is the second-largest producer of coal after China. Coal is mined in half the states, but Wyoming mines the most, followed by West Virginia, Kentucky, and Pennsylvania. The United States gets about two-thirds of its coal from surface mining rather than underground mining. Surface mining is the name for the different methods that are used to remove coal that is less than sixty meters underground. The United States has about 87,000 coal miners. The jobs pay well, especially for the poor areas where mines are often found. However, the jobs can also be dangerous. The government says more than 100,000 coal miners lost their lives in the past century. 第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分 40 分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和 D）中，选出最佳选项。 A Top lists are lecturing people on everything from “100 places to visit” to “100 books to read”. Aren’t you just tired of being told what to do with your time? Now you have a list to end all lists! Take a look at the following two examples from the list of “101 things not to do”. Swim with Dolphins? Swimming with dolphins is one of the world’s most profitable tourist activities. However, not every dolphin will welcome having their busy, tiring day interrupted by tourists screaming and pushing around them in the water. Worse yet, when dolphins get too near to the boats loaded with tourists, they could get caught up in ropes and killed by propellers (螺旋桨). Here’s a little secret. Dolphins look like smiling at you, but actually they’re just opening their mouths. Go to See the Mona Lisa? There must be something about the mysterious smile. The 6 million people who visit the lady in the Louvre every year can’t all be wrong, after all. But they can be quite annoying, standing in front of you, holding their cameras to prevent you from seeing anything. In fact, it is hard for you to see the painting clearly because you have to stay away from it for security reasons. After queuing for hours, many tourists can remain in front of the painting only for 15 seconds at most. If the mysterious lady in the picture knew her fate, she wouldn’t just be smiling. She’d be laughing. So, still long to see the Mona Lisa? If you want to find out more about the list, read 101 Things NOT to Do Before You Die. Visit www.not2dobeforedie.co.uk and buy the book at a 20% discount. 21. According to the passage, swimming with dolphins ________. A. is the world’s most popular tourist activity B. gives fun to both tourists and dolphins C. will make tourists busy and tired D. can cause danger to dolphins 22. What does the author think about going to see the Mona Lisa? A. Fifteen seconds in front of the painting is enough. B. It is wrong to go and see the mysterious smile. C. It is not satisfying as expected. D. Queuing for hours is worthwhile. 23. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To advocate a book. B. To introduce a website. C. To comment on popular lists. D. To recommend tourist activities. 【答案】21. D 22. C 23. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章内容是一则名为《101件死前不要做的事》的广告，引用了书中的一些内容，以引起读者的兴趣。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据Swim with Dolphins?部分的最后一句“Worse yet, when dolphins get too near to the boats loaded with tourists, they could get caught up in ropes and killed by propellers (螺旋桨).(更糟糕的是，当海豚离满载游客的船只太近时，它们可能会被绳索缠住，被螺旋桨杀死)”可知，和海豚游泳可能给海豚带来危险。故选D项。 【22题详解】 推理判断题。根据Go to see the Mona Lisa?部分中“In fact, it is hard for you to see the painting clearly because you have to stay away from it for security reasons. After queuing for hours, many tourists can remain in front of the painting only for 15 seconds at most.(事实上，你很难看清这幅画，因为出于安全考虑，你必须远离它。排队数小时后，许多游客最多只能在画前停留15秒)”可知，由于想看画作的人太多，每个人最多只能看15秒。由此推知，作者认为去看看the Mona Lisa并不会像期待的那样令人满意。故选C项。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Top lists are lecturing people on everything from “100 places to visit” to “100 books to read”. Aren’t you just tired of being told what to do with your time? Now you have a list to end all lists!(榜单上的作品都给人们建议，从“100个地方去参观”到“100本书阅读”的内容。你难道不厌倦被别人告诉你该怎么处理你的时间吗？现在你有一个列表来结束所有的列表！)”和最后一段的“If you want to find out more about the list, read 101 Things NOT to Do Before You Die. Visitwww.not2dobeforeidie.co.uk and buy the book at a 20％ discount.(如果你想了解更多关于这张单子的信息，请阅读“101件临死前不要做的事情”。访问www.not2dobeforeidie.co.uk买这本书打八折)”可推知，作者写这篇文章的目的是为一本书做宣传。故选A项。 B Anxiety has followed me around like a lost dog looking for a bone for years now. I feel it the most strongly when I’m worried about my health or my daughter’s health. I feel an unusual sensation and all of a sudden: panic! My worries are not limited to health concerns though, and they go in the direction of anxiety about the future of the world, worries about my finances, and fears that I’m not good enough. Let me go back a few decades, back to when anxiety wasn’t part of my life. When I was a child, I loved art. I drew and I colored because that’s what I enjoyed. I went to college to become an art teacher. When I finished school in May of 2001, I had a part-time design job, and after the event of September 11th, 2001, I knew I needed to travel, to get out of the safe life I was living in my hometown. That’s when my creative practices fell by the wayside. Luckily, after the birth of my daughter in 2014, the desire to create came back. At first, I was using a tiny corner of a bedroom in our rental house to paint. Eventually we bought a house, and I had the space to spread out, ready to paint whenever the urge struck. That’s when I started noticing something important: Painting stilled me in a way that nothing else did. It eased my fears and anxieties in a way other practices (deep breathing, etc) did not, at least not as consistently. When anxious thoughts start, I know what to do. I head into my studio, grab some materials, and start creating. Soon enough, the worries are gone and instead my mind is quiet. I think the reason why painting is so helpful for my anxiety is that, in order for me to be anxious, I have to be worrying about the future and what it holds. When I’m doing an activity that requires my full concentration, I have to be in the moment. It doesn’t matter if you’re artistic. The only thing that matters is finding a way to be here, in the now, instead of in the unknowable future. 24. Which of the following best describes the author in paragraph 1? A. Cautious. B. Impatient. C. Carefree. D. Insecure. 25. Why did the author give up on art temporarily? A. Because her daughter was born. B. Because she couldn’t make a living. C. Because some big event happened. D. Because she was busy with her study. 26. How does painting ease the author’s fears and anxieties? A. Painting makes her stay in a place. B. Colors of painting calm her down. C. Painting makes less room for worries. D. Painting is a very creative activity. 27. What does the story mainly tell us? A. What is important is to seize the moment. B. Anxiety may be beneficial to life at times. C. It is necessary to learn some art in childhood. D. Painting is the best way to ease people’s mind. 【答案】24. D 25. C 26. C 27. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者通过绘画来缓解焦虑和担忧的经历，强调了活在当下的重要性。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Anxiety has followed me around like a lost dog looking for a bone for years now. I feel it the most strongly when I’m worried about my health or my daughter’s health. My worries are not limited to health concerns though, and they go in the direction of anxiety about the future of the world, worries about my finances, and fears that I’m not good enough.(多年来，焦虑就像一只寻找骨头的迷路狗一样跟着我。当我担心自己或女儿的健康时，我感受最深。然而，我的担忧并不仅限于健康问题，还包括对世界未来的焦虑、对财务状况的担忧，以及担心自己不够好)”可知，作者多年来一直被焦虑所困扰，担心自己和女儿的健康，以及对未来的担忧等，说明作者感到不安全。由此可推断出，作者在第一段中给人的印象是“不安全的（Insecure）”。故选D项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“When I finished school in May of 2001, I had a part-time design job, and after the event of September 11th, 2001, I knew I needed to travel, to get out of the safe life I was living in my hometown. That’s when my creative practices fell by the wayside.(2001年5月，当我完成学业时，我有了一份兼职设计工作，2001年9月11日事件之后，我知道我需要旅行，走出我在家乡过着的安逸生活。就在那时，我的创作实践被搁置一旁)”可知，作者在2001年9月11日事件之后，决定去旅行，走出安逸的生活，因此暂时放弃了艺术创作。由此可知，作者暂时放弃艺术是因为“发生了一些重大事件”。故选C项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“That’s when I started noticing something important: Painting stilled me in a way that nothing else did. It eased my fears and anxieties in a way other practices (deep breathing, etc) did not, at least not as consistently. When anxious thoughts start, I know what to do. I head into my studio, grab some materials, and start creating. Soon enough, the worries are gone and instead my mind is quiet.(就在那时，我开始注意到一件重要的事情：绘画以一种其他任何方式都无法做到的方式让我平静下来。它以其他方式（深呼吸等）无法缓解我的恐惧和焦虑，至少不像绘画那样持续。当焦虑的想法开始时，我就知道该怎么做。我走进我的工作室，拿起一些材料，开始创作。很快，担忧就消失了，取而代之的是我的头脑变得平静)”可知，绘画能让作者平静下来，缓解恐惧和焦虑，当作者感到焦虑时，就会走进工作室开始创作，很快担忧就消失了，头脑变得平静。由此可推断出，绘画通过减少担忧的空间来缓解作者的恐惧和焦虑。故选C项。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其结合最后一段“I think the reason why painting is so helpful for my anxiety is that, in order for me to be anxious, I have to be worrying about the future and what it holds. When I’m doing an activity that requires my full concentration, I have to be in the moment. It doesn’t matter if you’re artistic. The only thing that matters is finding a way to be here, in the now, instead of in the unknowable future.(我认为绘画对我的焦虑如此有帮助的原因是，为了让我焦虑，我必须担心未来和它所带来的东西。当我做一件需要全神贯注的事情时，我必须活在当下。你是否有艺术天赋并不重要。唯一重要的是找到一种方法，活在现在，而不是不可知的未来)”可知，作者认为绘画对她的焦虑有帮助，因为当她全神贯注于绘画时，她必须活在当下，而不是担心未来。由此可知，文章通过讲述作者通过绘画来缓解焦虑和担忧的经历，强调了活在当下的重要性。故选A项。 C Digital reading appears to be destroying habits of “deep reading”. Astonishing numbers of people with years of schooling are in effect illiterate. This month’s Ljubljana Manifesto (宣言) explains: “The digital field may promote more reading than ever in history, but it also offers many temptations to read in a superficial and scattered (零散的) manner — or even not to read at all. This increasingly endangers higher-level reading.” That’s frightening, because “higher-level reading” has been essential to civilization. It enabled the enlightenment and an international increase in empathy. Without it, we would suffer a lot. As the Ljubljana Manifesto notes, “as much as one-third of Europeans struggle even with lower-level reading skills.” More than one-fifth of adults in the US “fall into the illiterate/functionally illiterate category”. Separately, post-pandemic reading scores for American 13-year-olds are the lowest in decades. And the Washington-based Center for Global Development recently estimated that literacy in South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa among those with five years of schooling has decreased by 10% this past half century. Experts in the Ljubljana Manifesto record the demerits of digital reading: “Recent studies of various kinds indicate a decline of critical and conscious reading, slow reading, non-strategic reading and long-form reading.” When you read a book on paper, you can be entirely inside the experience, absorb hundreds of pages of details thoroughly and begin to capture the world’s complexity. Online, says Maryanne Wolf of UCLA, we are “skimming, scanning, scrolling”. The medium is the message: doing deep reading on your phone is as hard as playing tennis with your phone. Recently, a bright 11-year-old told me I was wasting time on books: he absorbed more information faster from Wikipedia. He had a point. But digital readers also absorb more misinformation and seldom absorb fine perspectives. In short, as professors from Northwestern University foresaw in 2005, we are returning to the days when only an elite (精英) “reading class” consumes long texts, which is worrying. 28. What can we learn about digital reading from paragraph 1? A. Digital reading has solved the problem of illiteracy. B. Digital reading has lessened the practice of deep reading. C. Digital reading has made deep reading accessible to wider readers. D. Digital reading has aroused a greater appreciation for deep reading. 29. What is the purpose of the figures used in paragraph 2? A. To display the popularity of digital reading. B. To highlight the advantages of deep reading. C. To present the unfavorable situation of literacy. D. To stress the illiterate’s lower-level reading skills. 30. What does the underlined word “demerits” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Effects. B. Depths. C. Features. D. Drawbacks. 31. What might be talked about in the following paragraph? A. Advantages of digital reading. B. Benefits of higher-level reading. C. Ways to encourage digital reading. D. Measures to practice deep reading. 【答案】28. B 29. C 30. D 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了数字阅读对深度阅读习惯的破坏性影响，以及深度阅读在文明和人类发展中的重要性。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Digital reading appears to be destroying habits of “deep reading”. (数字阅读似乎正在破坏“深度阅读”的习惯。)”和“The digital field may promote more reading than ever in history, but it also offers many temptations to read in a superficial and scattered (零散的) manner — or even not to read at all. This increasingly endangers higher-level reading.(数字领域可能比历史上任何时候都促进了更多的阅读，但它也提供了许多诱惑，以肤浅和分散的方式阅读——甚至根本不阅读。这越来越危及更高水平的阅读。)”可知，数字阅读削弱了深度阅读的实践。故选B项。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“As the Ljubljana Manifesto notes, “as much as one-third of Europeans struggle even with lower-level reading skills.” More than one-fifth of adults in the US “fall into the illiterate/functionally illiterate category”. Separately, post-pandemic reading scores for American 13-year-olds are the lowest in decades. And the Washington-based Center for Global Development recently estimated that literacy in South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa among those with five years of schooling has decreased by 10% this past half century. (正如《卢布尔雅那宣言》所指出的，“多达三分之一的欧洲人甚至在较低水平的阅读技能上挣扎。”超过五分之一的美国成年人“属于文盲/功能性文盲”。另外，大流行后美国13岁儿童的阅读分数是几十年来最低的。总部位于华盛顿的全球发展中心(Center for Global Development)最近估计，在过去的半个世纪里，南亚和撒哈拉以南非洲地区接受过5年教育的儿童的识字率下降了10%。)”可知，这些数字展示了目前读写能力的状况不容乐观。故选C项。 【30题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“Experts in the Ljubljana Manifesto record the demerits of digital reading: “Recent studies of various kinds indicate a decline of critical and conscious reading, slow reading, non-strategic reading and long-form reading.” (《卢布尔雅那宣言》的专家们记录了数字阅读的demerits：“最近各种各样的研究表明，批判性阅读、有意识阅读、慢读、非战略性阅读和长篇阅读的数量正在下降。”)”中“a decline of critical and conscious reading, slow reading, non-strategic reading and long-form reading”可知，这些都是数字阅读盛行带来的问题和弊端，所以划线词demerits与drawbacks同义，意为“缺点，弊端 ”。故选D项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“In short, as professors from Northwestern University foresaw in 2005, we are returning to the days when only an elite (精英) “reading class” consumes long texts, which is worrying. (简而言之，正如西北大学的教授们在2005年所预见的那样，我们正在回到只有精英“阅读阶层”才会阅读长文本的时代，这令人担忧。)”可知，文章最后表达了作者对现状的担忧，害怕我们会回到只有精英“阅读阶层”才会阅读长文本的时代。由此推知，作者接下来可能会就如何练习深度阅读给出具体的建议。故选D项。 D The increased use of light-emitting diodes (LED) and other forms of lighting are now brightening the night sky at a dramatic rate. Research has revealed that light pollution is now causing the night sky to brighten at a rate of around 10% a year an increase that threatens to ruin the sight of all but the most brilliant stars in a generation. A child born where 250 stars are visible at night today would only be able to see about 100 by the time they reach 18. Physicist Christopher Kyba, of the German Centre for Geosciences told the Observer. “A couple of generations ago, people would have regularly encountered this glittering (闪耀) vision of the universe—but what was formerly universal is now extremely rare.” Nevertheless, the introduction of only a modest number of changes to lighting could make a considerable improvement, Kyba argued. These moves would include ensuring outdoor lights are carefully capped, point downwards, have limits placed on their brightness, and are not predominantly blue-white but have red and orange components. The problem is that light pollution is still not perceived by the public to be a threat. As Professor Oscar Corcho, of Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, has put it: “The negative consequences of light pollution are as unknown by the population as those of smoking in the 80s.” Yet action is now urgently needed. Apart from its astronomical impact, light pollution is harming human health. “When reddish light shines on our bodies, it stimulates mechanisms including those that break down high levels of sugar in the blood. Since the introduction of LEDs, that part of the spectrum (光谱) has been removed from artificial light and it is playing a part in the waves of obesity (肥胖) and rises in diabetes cases we see today,” said Prof Fosbury from University College London (UCL), UCL researchers are preparing to install additional infrared (红外线) lamps in hospitals and intensive care units (ICU) to see if they have an effect on the recovery of patients who would otherwise be starved of light from this part of the spectrum. 32. What does the author want to show by citing the child’s example? A. More objects in the universe will disappear. B. Light pollution is blinding our view of the stars. C. People’s perception of the universe is inadequate. D. New forms of lighting have made stars unnecessary. 33. What does Kyba think of the moves to ease light pollution? A. They are practical. B. They are rarely successful. C. They aren’t worth the effort. D. It takes ages to see the result. 34. What is top on the agenda of solving light pollution? A. Controlling population growth. B. Changing people’s perception. C. Exploring the unknown universe. D. Banning smoking in public places. 35. What does the follow-up study aim to find out about infrared lamps? A. Whether they help patients recover. B. Whether they increase obesity risk. C. Whether they leave people starving. D. Whether they raise blood sugar level. 【答案】32. B 33. A 34. B 35. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了光污染给环境和人类健康带来的威胁，以及对红外线光的研究发现。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段的“Research has revealed that light pollution is now causing the night sky to brighten at a rate of around 10% a year, an increase that threatens to ruin the sight of all but the most brilliant stars in a generation. A child born where 250 stars are visible at night today would only be able to see about 100 by the time they reach 18.(研究表明，光污染正导致夜空以每年10%左右的速度变亮，这一增长可能会在一代人的时间里毁掉除了最明亮的星星以外的所有人的视线。 一个今天晚上能看到250颗星星的孩子，到18岁时只能看到100颗左右)”推知，用孩子的例子是为了说明光污染使我们看不见星星。故选B。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段的“Nevertheless, the introduction of only a modest number of changes to lighting could make a considerable improvement, Kyba argued. These moves would include ensuring outdoor lights are carefully capped, point downwards, have limits placed on their brightness, and are not predominantly blue-white but have red and orange components.(然而，Kyba认为，只要对照明进行适度的改变，就能取得相当大的进步。这些措施将包括确保户外灯被小心地盖上盖子，指向下方，对其亮度进行限制，并且不以蓝白色为主，而是有红色和橙色成分)”推知，Kyba减轻光污染的行动很实用。故选A项。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的“The problem is that light pollution is still not perceived by the public to be a threat.(问题是，公众仍然没有意识到光污染是一种威胁)”和“The negative consequences of light pollution are as unknown by the population as those of smoking in the 80s.(人们对光污染的负面影响一无所知，就像80年代人们对吸烟的负面影响一无所知一样)”可知，解决光污染的首要问题是改变人们的看法，让人们意识到光污染是有害的。故选B。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“UCL researchers are preparing to install additional infrared (红外线) lamps in hospitals and intensive care units (ICU) to see if they have an effect on the recovery of patients who would otherwise be starved of light from this part of the spectrum.(伦敦大学学院的研究人员正准备在医院和重症监护病房(ICU)安装额外的红外线灯，看看它们是否对患者的康复有影响，否则患者将缺乏这部分光谱的光)”可知，后续研究的目的是找出红外线灯是否有助于患者的康复。故选A。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Have you ever had a goal that no matter how hard you worked, or how many hours you dedicated, it just didn’t seem to make any progress? Despite all your best effort, it felt like you were running on a treadmill — working hard but not going anywhere. _____36_____ Set yourself a re-evaluation date. Sometimes, the fruits of your labor can be like an iceberg. Only a small part is visible above the water. _____37_____ Self-doubt and anxiety about whether you’re making any progress can sabotage your goals even if you’re in fact making significant progress just below the surface. If you think your goal might take some time to manifest change, try setting a “re-evaluation date” before you quit and give up on yourself too early. For a “re-evaluation date”, simply pick a day on the calendar that makes sense for the size and scope of your particular goal. Then refuse to rethink, reassess, or self-doubt your decisions until that day. _____38_____ There’s nothing more demoralizing and frustrating than feeling like you’re constantly messing up or self-sabotaging your own goal. Instead of seeing setbacks and failures as negative things, reframe them in your mind as learning experiences — and those experiences can be some of the best teachers! Also focus on enjoying the doing. It’s easy to get caught up worrying about how much progress you’re making and forget to enjoy the actual journey. _____39_____ If you constantly feel negative while working towards your goal, you’ll quickly come to resent it and will be more likely to quit. So if you’re feeling frustrated about a goal, remember that there just might be a lot of things happening under the surface you’re not aware of. And remember, results aren’t everything. Learning, growing, enjoying yourself along the way... _____40_____ A. You will eventually see results. B. But below, a huge iceberg is forming. C. Those are the things that really matter. D. Celebrate your failures as much as your successes. E. Reframe all your setbacks and failures as learning experiences. F. If so, there are a few key things that can help you stay on track. G. If you can find joy working towards your goals, then you will have won half the battle. 【答案】36. F 37. B 38. E 39. G 40. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章围绕在追求目标时努力却不见进展的情况展开讨论，提出了设置重新评估日期、将挫折和失败重新定义为学习经验、专注于享受追求目标的过程等几个关键方法，强调结果不是一切，在追求目标过程中的学习、成长和享受才是真正重要的事情。 【36题详解】 根据上文“Have you ever had a goal that no matter how hard you worked, or how many hours you dedicated, it just didn’t seem to make any progress? Despite all your best effort, it felt like you were running on a treadmill—working hard but not going anywhere. (你有没有过一个目标，无论你多么努力，或者你投入了多少小时，它似乎都没有取得任何进展？尽管你尽了最大的努力，但感觉就像在跑步机上跑步——努力工作但哪儿也去不了。)”以及下文介绍的一些方法，可知，F项“If so, there are a few key things that can help you stay on track. (如果是这样，有一些关键因素可以帮助你保持正轨。)”承上启下，If so承接上文提到的问题，there are a few key things that can help you stay on track引出下文的建议。故选F项。 【37题详解】 根据上文“Set yourself a re-evaluation date. Sometimes, the fruits of your labor can be like an iceberg. Only a small part is visible above the water. (给自己设定一个重新评估的日期。有时，你的劳动成果就像一座冰山。在水面上只能看到一小部分。)”可知，劳动成果表面上看起来只是一小部分，但是下面可能是一座巨大冰山，与B项“But below, a huge iceberg is forming. (但在下面，一座巨大的冰山正在形成。)”上下文一致，符合文意，故选B项。 【38题详解】 根据上文“There’s nothing more demoralizing and frustrating than feeling like you’re constantly messing up or self-sabotaging your own goal. Instead of seeing setbacks and failures as negative things, reframe them in your mind as learning experiences—and those experiences can be some of the best teachers! (没有什么比感觉自己不断搞砸或自我破坏自己的目标更令人沮丧的了。与其将挫折和失败视为消极的事情，不如在脑海中将它们重新构建作为学习经历——这些经历可以成为最好的老师！)”可知，本段主要讲述要把挫折和失败看做学习经历，与E项“Reframe all your setbacks and failures as learning experiences. (将你所有的挫折和失败重新定义为学习经验。)”为最佳标题，故选E项。 【39题详解】 根据上文“Also focus on enjoying the doing. It’s easy to get caught up worrying about how much progress you’re making and forget to enjoy the actual journey. (也要专注于享受正在做的。很容易陷入担心自己取得了多少进步，而忘记了享受实际旅程。)”可知，要在努力实现目标的过程中找到快乐，与G项“If you can find joy working towards your goals, then you will have won half the battle. (如果你能在朝着你的目标努力中找到快乐，那么你就赢得了一半的胜利。)”上下文一致，符合文意，故选G项。 【40题详解】 根据上文“And remember, results aren’t everything. Learning, growing, enjoying yourself along the way... (请记住，结果并不是一切。一路上学习、成长、享受自己......)”可知，结果不是一切，学习、成长和享受过程才是真正重要的，与C项“Those are the things that really matter. (这些才是真正重要的事情。)”上下文一致，符合文意，故选C项。 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分 40 分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和 D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 When I asked my mom for piano lessons in 2010, we were in the fallout of the recession (经济衰退).

I’d like to make a ________ (投诉) about the noise. (根据汉语提示单词拼写) 【答案】complaint 【解析】 【详解】考查名词。句意：我想投诉关于噪音的问题。根据汉语提示“投诉”以及空前不定冠词a可知需要填单数名词，此处应填名词complaint，make a complaint为固定短语，表示“投诉”。故填complaint。 63.

Carving is at the center of woodblock printing as this painstaking step can make _____72_____ break the final print. Characters and images _____73_____ (carve) to produce raised areas or lines that will eventually apply ink to paper. It calls for a pair of skilled hands. A five-meter-scroll of the Buddhist scripture Diamond Sutra, printed in 868, is the “earliest dated printed book” in the words of the British Library _____74_____ it is stored. It is just one example of ancient works of art that not only tell the wisdom of our ancestors, but also are an evidence of the pursuit of beauty by Chinese craftsmen throughout _____75_____ (century).

Traditional 70. divided 71. roughly 72. or 73. are carved 74. where 75. centuries 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，主要介绍的是木版印刷的起源和特点。 【66题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：唐朝（618-907）佛教在中国蓬勃发展，因此迫切需要大量的佛经。抽象名词need后用不定式作后置定语，因此空格处是不定式to produce。故填to produce。 【67题详解】 考查介词。句意：与此同时，手工抄写无法满足日益增长的需求。by hand“手工，用手”，固定短语，故填by。 【68题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：同上。形容词rising意为“不断上升的”，作定语，修饰名词demand，故填rising。 【69题详解】 考查形容词。句意：传统的木版印刷包括四个主要步骤：书写、雕刻、印刷和装订。空处应填形容词traditional“传统的”作定语，修饰名词woodblock printing，首字母应大写，故填Traditional。 【70题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：每一步都进一步分为几个步骤，大约需要30个步骤来制作木版版画。此处是with的复合结构“with+宾语+宾补”，each step和divide之间是被动关系，使用过去分词作宾补，故填divided。 【71题详解】 考查副词。句意：同上。空处修饰动词takes，应用副词形式，故填roughly。 【72题详解】 考查连词。句意：雕刻是木版印刷的核心，因为这一艰苦的步骤可以成就或破坏最终的版画。句子表示“这一艰苦的步骤可以成就或破坏最终的版画”，连接并列的动词make与break，空格处意为“或者”，使用连词or，故填or。 【73题详解】 考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意：文字和图像被雕刻成凸起的区域或线条，最终将墨水涂在纸上。主语Characters and images和动词carve之间是被动关系，且句子是描述一个事实，使用一般现在时的被动语态，主语Characters and images 表示复数意义，故填are carved。 【74题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：868年印刷的一卷五米长的佛教经典《金刚经》，用储存地大英图书馆的话说，是“日期最早的印刷书籍”。空格处引导的是限制性定语从句，修饰先行词British Library，且在从句中作状语，用关系副词where，故填where。 【75题详解】 考查名词复数。句意：这只是古代艺术作品的一个例子，它不仅讲述了我们祖先的智慧，也证明了几个世纪以来中国工匠对美的追求。century是可数名词，空前无限定词，使用名词复数形式表示泛指，故填centuries。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分 40 分） 第一节 （满分 15 分） 76. 假定你是李华，暑假想去一家外贸公司兼职，已写好申请书和个人简历(resume)。给外教Ms. Jenkins写信，请她帮助你修改所附材料的文字和格式(format)。 注意： 1. 词数80词左右； 2. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 Dear Ms. Jenkins, ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours sincerely, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Ms. Jenkins, I am Li Hua.

The neighborhood residents often enjoyed walking around the lake in the park, and on this pleasant day, with the sun casting its warm light, Katie spent the unhurried moments devoted to her jumping routine. Her thoughts were focused on her jumping: how to match the spinning of the jump rope in her hands and the jumping of her feet so that they didn’t get mixed, causing her to trip. When her mind and muscles were working together, and when every move flowed smoothly, all of it felt pretty good in the afternoon sunshine. While jumping, she remembered that her grandmother had given her the jump rope for Christmas. She knew that her grandmother didn’t have a lot of money and had to save up to buy the jump rope for her. Before Christmas, her grandmother had taken her to some toy shops to look at different things, hoping to find out what Katie wanted. When Katie finally got the gift, it was not just a jump rope but the very jump rope she had wanted for a long time. She felt especially loved by her considerate grandmother. The warmth of the afternoon sun enhanced the joy Katie felt as she skipped along. Suddenly a boy rushed across the road to her. Without any warning he robbed her of her jump rope, shouting, “Give me that” and raced back across the road towards the park. Empty-handed, Katie was left in confusion. It took her a while to recover from the shock. When she came to her senses and realized the theft of her grandma’s gift, tear swelled up. A wave of anger and disappointment swept over her. But in that moment of upset, something unusual in the park captured her attention. 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。 Following the boy quickly, she spotted a group of kids crying anxiously by the lake. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After making sure the drowning girl was okay, the boy walked up to Katie with the jump rope. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Following the boy quickly, she spotted a group of kids crying anxiously by the lake. The boy who had taken her jump rope was sprinting towards them. As Katie neared the water, she saw, to her horror, a little girl was struggling in the water. The boy was throwing one end of Katie’s jump rope out for the child to grab. Fortunately, the little girl caught hold of it. Without a moment’s hesitation, Katie stepped forward to lend a helping hand. Working in tandem, they pulled the child onto the bank. After making sure the drowning girl was okay, the boy walked up to Katie with the jump rope. Handing it to Katie, he gave a shy smile and apologized, “I’m sorry if I frightened you just now, but I had to act quickly in an emergency. I can’t swim, you know. It was your jump rope that served as a lifeline.” Katie’s initial anger had transformed into appreciation for the boy’s quick response to save the little girl. She replied she didn’t mind her jump rope being snatched at all. Instead, she was glad about the part her jump rope had played in the rescue. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Katie一天在公园跳绳，绳子是祖母省吃俭用给她买的，Katie很珍惜，但是突然一个男孩抢走了跳绳，当Katie追过去时，发现男孩是为了救一个溺水的女孩，Katie立马上去帮忙，救下女孩后，男孩向Katie道歉，Katie为她的跳绳能救人感到由衷的高兴。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“她迅速跟在男孩后面，发现一群孩子在湖边焦急地哭泣。”可知，第一段可描写Katie发现男孩抢她的跳绳的目的是救人，她也立马上去帮忙。 ②由第二段首句内容“在确定溺水的女孩安然无恙后，男孩拿着跳绳走向凯蒂。”可知，第二段可描写男孩向Katie道歉，Katie为自己的跳绳在营救中发挥的作用感到高兴。 2. 续写线索：在公园跳绳——跳绳被抢——追过去，发现是在救人——帮忙——道歉——感到高兴。 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①冲刺：sprint/dash/rush ②抓住：catch hold of/grab/grasp ③惊吓：frighten/scare/horrify 情绪类 ①愤怒：anger/rage/fury ②感激：appreciation/thankfulness/gratitude 【点睛】[高分句型1]As Katie neared the water, she saw, to her horror, a little girl was struggling in the water.(as引导的时间状语从句) [高分句型2]She replied she didn’t mind her jump rope being snatched at all.(省略that的宾语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 陕西省西安中学高2025届高三第一次质量检测考试 英语试题 （时间：120分钟 满分：150分） 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

Aren’t you just tired of being told what to do with your time? Now you have a list to end all lists! Take a look at the following two examples from the list of “101 things not to do”. Swim with Dolphins? Swimming with dolphins is one of the world’s most profitable tourist activities. However, not every dolphin will welcome having their busy, tiring day interrupted by tourists screaming and pushing around them in the water. Worse yet, when dolphins get too near to the boats loaded with tourists, they could get caught up in ropes and killed by propellers (螺旋桨). Here’s a little secret. Dolphins look like smiling at you, but actually they’re just opening their mouths. Go to See the Mona Lisa? There must be something about the mysterious smile. The 6 million people who visit the lady in the Louvre every year can’t all be wrong, after all. But they can be quite annoying, standing in front of you, holding their cameras to prevent you from seeing anything. In fact, it is hard for you to see the painting clearly because you have to stay away from it for security reasons. After queuing for hours, many tourists can remain in front of the painting only for 15 seconds at most. If the mysterious lady in the picture knew her fate she wouldn’t just be smiling. She’d be laughing. So, still long to see the Mona Lisa? If you want to find out more about the list, read 101 Things NOT to Do Before You Die. Visit www.not2dobeforedie.co.uk and buy the book at a 20% discount. 21. According to the passage, swimming with dolphins ________. A. is the world’s most popular tourist activity B. gives fun to both tourists and dolphins C. will make tourists busy and tired D. can cause danger to dolphins 22. What does the author think about going to see the Mona Lisa? A. Fifteen seconds in front of the painting is enough. B It is wrong to go and see the mysterious smile. C. It is not satisfying as expected. D Queuing for hours is worthwhile. 23. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To advocate a book. B. To introduce a website. C. To comment on popular lists. D. To recommend tourist activities. B Anxiety has followed me around like a lost dog looking for a bone for years now. I feel it the most strongly when I’m worried about my health or my daughter’s health. I feel an unusual sensation and all of a sudden: panic! My worries are not limited to health concerns though, and they go in the direction of anxiety about the future of the world, worries about my finances, and fears that I’m not good enough. Let me go back a few decades, back to when anxiety wasn’t part of my life. When I was a child, I loved art. I drew and I colored because that’s what I enjoyed. I went to college to become an art teacher. When I finished school in May of 2001, I had a part-time design job, and after the event of September 11th, 2001, I knew I needed to travel, to get out of the safe life I was living in my hometown. That’s when my creative practices fell by the wayside. Luckily, after the birth of my daughter in 2014, the desire to create came back. At first, I was using a tiny corner of a bedroom in our rental house to paint. Eventually we bought a house, and I had the space to spread out, ready to paint whenever the urge struck. That’s when I started noticing something important: Painting stilled me in a way that nothing else did. It eased my fears and anxieties in a way other practices (deep breathing, etc) did not, at least not as consistently. When anxious thoughts start, I know what to do. I head into my studio, grab some materials, and start creating. Soon enough, the worries are gone and instead my mind is quiet. I think the reason why painting is so helpful for my anxiety is that, in order for me to be anxious, I have to be worrying about the future and what it holds. When I’m doing an activity that requires my full concentration, I have to be in the moment. It doesn’t matter if you’re artistic. The only thing that matters is finding a way to be here, in the now, instead of in the unknowable future. 24. Which of the following best describes the author in paragraph 1? A. Cautious. B. Impatient. C. Carefree. D. Insecure. 25. Why did the author give up on art temporarily? A. Because her daughter was born. B. Because she couldn’t make a living. C. Because some big event happened. D. Because she was busy with her study. 26. How does painting ease the author’s fears and anxieties? A. Painting makes her stay in a place. B. Colors of painting calm her down. C. Painting makes less room for worries. D. Painting is a very creative activity. 27. What does the story mainly tell us? A. What is important is to seize the moment. B. Anxiety may be beneficial to life at times. C. It is necessary to learn some art in childhood. D. Painting is the best way to ease people’s mind. C Digital reading appears to be destroying habits of “deep reading”. Astonishing numbers of people with years of schooling are in effect illiterate. This month’s Ljubljana Manifesto (宣言) explains: “The digital field may promote more reading than ever in history, but it also offers many temptations to read in a superficial and scattered (零散的) manner — or even not to read at all. This increasingly endangers higher-level reading.” That’s frightening, because “higher-level reading” has been essential to civilization. It enabled the enlightenment and an international increase in empathy. Without it, we would suffer a lot. As the Ljubljana Manifesto notes, “as much as one-third of Europeans struggle even with lower-level reading skills.” More than one-fifth of adults in the US “fall into the illiterate/functionally illiterate category”. Separately, post-pandemic reading scores for American 13-year-olds are the lowest in decades. And the Washington-based Center for Global Development recently estimated that literacy in South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa among those with five years of schooling has decreased by 10% this past half century. Experts in the Ljubljana Manifesto record the demerits of digital reading: “Recent studies of various kinds indicate a decline of critical and conscious reading, slow reading, non-strategic reading and long-form reading.” When you read a book on paper, you can be entirely inside the experience, absorb hundreds of pages of details thoroughly and begin to capture the world’s complexity. Online, says Maryanne Wolf of UCLA, we are “skimming, scanning, scrolling”. The medium is the message: doing deep reading on your phone is as hard as playing tennis with your phone. Recently, a bright 11-year-old told me I was wasting time on books: he absorbed more information faster from Wikipedia. He had a point. But digital readers also absorb more misinformation and seldom absorb fine perspectives. In short, as professors from Northwestern University foresaw in 2005, we are returning to the days when only an elite (精英) “reading class” consumes long texts, which is worrying. 28. What can we learn about digital reading from paragraph 1? A. Digital reading has solved the problem of illiteracy. B. Digital reading has lessened the practice of deep reading. C. Digital reading has made deep reading accessible to wider readers. D. Digital reading has aroused a greater appreciation for deep reading. 29. What is the purpose of the figures used in paragraph 2? A. To display the popularity of digital reading. B. To highlight the advantages of deep reading. C. To present the unfavorable situation of literacy. D. To stress the illiterate’s lower-level reading skills. 30. What does the underlined word “demerits” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Effects. B. Depths. C. Features. D. Drawbacks. 31. What might be talked about in the following paragraph? A. Advantages of digital reading. B. Benefits of higher-level reading. C. Ways to encourage digital reading. D. Measures to practice deep reading. D The increased use of light-emitting diodes (LED) and other forms of lighting are now brightening the night sky at a dramatic rate. Research has revealed that light pollution is now causing the night sky to brighten at a rate of around 10% a year, an increase that threatens to ruin the sight of all but the most brilliant stars in a generation. A child born where 250 stars are visible at night today would only be able to see about 100 by the time they reach 18. Physicist Christopher Kyba, of the German Centre for Geosciences told the Observer. “A couple of generations ago, people would have regularly encountered this glittering (闪耀) vision of the universe—but what was formerly universal is now extremely rare.” Nevertheless, the introduction of only a modest number of changes to lighting could make a considerable improvement, Kyba argued. These moves would include ensuring outdoor lights are carefully capped, point downwards, have limits placed on their brightness, and are not predominantly blue-white but have red and orange components. The problem is that light pollution is still not perceived by the public to be a threat. As Professor Oscar Corcho, of Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, has put it: “The negative consequences of light pollution are as unknown by the population as those of smoking in the 80s.” Yet action is now urgently needed. Apart from its astronomical impact, light pollution is harming human health. “When reddish light shines on our bodies, it stimulates mechanisms including those that break down high levels of sugar in the blood. Since the introduction of LEDs, that part of the spectrum (光谱) has been removed from artificial light and it is playing a part in the waves of obesity (肥胖) and rises in diabetes cases we see today,” said Prof Fosbury from University College London (UCL), UCL researchers are preparing to install additional infrared (红外线) lamps in hospitals and intensive care units (ICU) to see if they have an effect on the recovery of patients who would otherwise be starved of light from this part of the spectrum. 32. What does the author want to show by citing the child’s example? A. More objects in the universe will disappear. B. Light pollution is blinding our view of the stars. C. People’s perception of the universe is inadequate. D. New forms of lighting have made stars unnecessary. 33. What does Kyba think of the moves to ease light pollution? A. They are practical. B. They are rarely successful. C. They aren’t worth the effort. D. It takes ages to see the result. 34. What is top on the agenda of solving light pollution? A. Controlling population growth. B. Changing people’s perception. C. Exploring the unknown universe. D. Banning smoking in public places. 35. What does the follow-up study aim to find out about infrared lamps? A. Whether they help patients recover. B. Whether they increase obesity risk. C. Whether they leave people starving. D. Whether they raise blood sugar level. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Have you ever had a goal that no matter how hard you worked, or how many hours you dedicated, it just didn’t seem to make any progress? Despite all your best effort, it felt like you were running on a treadmill — working hard but not going anywhere. _____36_____ Set yourself a re-evaluation date. Sometimes, the fruits of your labor can be like an iceberg. Only a small part is visible above the water. _____37_____ Self-doubt and anxiety about whether you’re making any progress can sabotage your goals even if you’re in fact making significant progress just below the surface. If you think your goal might take some time to manifest change, try setting a “re-evaluation date” before you quit and give up on yourself too early. For a “re-evaluation date”, simply pick a day on the calendar that makes sense for the size and scope of your particular goal. Then refuse to rethink, reassess, or self-doubt your decisions until that day. _____38_____ There’s nothing more demoralizing and frustrating than feeling like you’re constantly messing up or self-sabotaging your own goal. Instead of seeing setbacks and failures as negative things, reframe them in your mind as learning experiences — and those experiences can be some of the best teachers! Also focus on enjoying the doing. It’s easy to get caught up worrying about how much progress you’re making and forget to enjoy the actual journey. _____39_____ If you constantly feel negative while working towards your goal, you’ll quickly come to resent it and will be more likely to quit. So if you’re feeling frustrated about a goal, remember that there just might be a lot of things happening under the surface you’re not aware of. And remember, results aren’t everything. Learning, growing, enjoying yourself along the way... _____40_____ A. You will eventually see results. B. But below, a huge iceberg is forming. C. Those are the things that really matter. D. Celebrate your failures as much as your successes. E. Reframe all your setbacks and failures as learning experiences. F. If so, there are a few key things that can help you stay on track. G. If you can find joy working towards your goals, then you will have won half the battle. 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分 40 分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和 D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 When I asked my mom for piano lessons in 2010, we were in the fallout of the recession (经济衰退).

The neighborhood residents often enjoyed walking around the lake in the park, and on this pleasant day, with the sun casting its warm light, Katie spent the unhurried moments devoted to her jumping routine. Her thoughts were focused on her jumping: how to match the spinning of the jump rope in her hands and the jumping of her feet so that they didn’t get mixed, causing her to trip. When her mind and muscles were working together, and when every move flowed smoothly, all of it felt pretty good in the afternoon sunshine. While jumping, she remembered that her grandmother had given her the jump rope for Christmas. She knew that her grandmother didn’t have a lot of money and had to save up to buy the jump rope for her. Before Christmas, her grandmother had taken her to some toy shops to look at different things, hoping to find out what Katie wanted. When Katie finally got the gift, it was not just a jump rope but the very jump rope she had wanted for a long time. She felt especially loved by her considerate grandmother. The warmth of the afternoon sun enhanced the joy Katie felt as she skipped along. Suddenly a boy rushed across the road to her. Without any warning he robbed her of her jump rope, shouting, “Give me that” and raced back across the road towards the park. Empty-handed, Katie was left in confusion. It took her a while to recover from the shock. When she came to her senses and realized the theft of her grandma’s gift, tear swelled up. A wave of anger and disappointment swept over her. But in that moment of upset, something unusual in the park captured her attention. 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。 Following the boy quickly, she spotted a group of kids crying anxiously by the lake. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After making sure the drowning girl was okay, the boy walked up to Katie with the jump rope. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
