When I asked, the receptionist said there were no other rooms available. After a sleepless night, I arrived at customer’s office. There was a message from my boss asking me to tell my customer that production has been put back a month. This put my customer in a bad mood. To cheer him up, I offered to take him for lunch but he explained he had food poisoning. The last straw was when I took the wrong train back to the hotel and ended in the countryside. The last stop was next to a field full of cows. The locals do their best to get me back to town. Needless to say, I missed my flight home. 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Some Cool Sports at the Olympic Games The Olympic Games, or the Olympics, continue to develop, introducing some exciting sports that attract the fans’ attention worldwide. Surfing In the 1920s, surfing fans began asking for the sport to be added to the Olympic program. Surfing was included in the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games. Then the famous surfing place, Teahupo’o in Tahiti, has hosted the surfing competition in the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. The speed, power and flow of surfers are important in the games. The variety, type and difficulty of the tricks have also been judged by five judges. Breaking Breaking, also known as break dancing, started in the Bronx, New York City, in the1970s as part of hip-hop culture. It grew as part of the underground culture of the 1980s. Judges score the breakers mainly based on musicality, performance, originality, technique and completion. Each one makes up part of the score. Skateboarding Skateboarding began in the US in the 1950s when surf culture was popular. The sport continued to grow and became very popular at the start of the 21st century, especially among young people. After its Olympic debut (首次亮相) at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, skateboarding has been part of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, held at the famous Place de la Concorde, in Paris. Sport Climbing Sport climbing has become very popular over the past 20 years and is done both outdoors and indoors. In 1985, climbers held the first climbing competition in Bardonecchia, Italy. Sport climbing first appeared in the Youth Olympic Games Buenos Aires 2018. After gaining popularity at youth events, it was introduced as a new sport at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games. 21.

In the society where my peers (同龄人) and I live, we tend to accept the rat race values. As students, we want to get good grades so that we can get good jobs. I enjoy studying and have always received A’s in my classes. There was a year when I finished first in my class in the final exams. It was a great achievement. Another one I am pleased with is that I managed to improve the relationship between Mum and Dad. Dad was a successful businessman who was rarely at home. Mum was a housewife who always felt bored and nagged (唠叨) him to let her go to work. Their frequent arguing bothered me, so I advised Dad that Mum would be better off with a part-time job. He agreed, and their relationship has improved since then. My most proud achievement, however, is my successful work in the local old folks’ home. My grandparents had raised me since I was a child. I wept (哭泣) bitterly when they died. Unlike many of my classmates, I do not take part in my school’s community service to earn points. I enjoy my voluntary work and believe I’m contributing to a worthwhile cause. This is where I can help. I talk to the elderly, help them with their daily life, and listen to their problems, happy days and the hardships they experienced. Last year, I hosted a successful New Year party for the elderly and they enjoyed a great time. Many expressed a desire to attend another party the following year. When I reflect on my accomplishments, I’m especially proud of my service at the old folks’ home, so I hope to study social work at university and work as a social worker in the future. I wish to be more skilled in attending to the less fortunate as well as find great satisfaction in it, after all. 24. What can be inferred about the author from the first paragraph? A.

A key skill set for success is persistence, a characteristic that researchers say is heavily influenced by fathers. Researchers from Brigham Young University discovered that fathers are in a unique position to help their adolescent children learn persistence. BYU professors Laura Padilla-Walker and Randal Duy arrived at these findings after following 325 American families over several years. And over time the persistence gained through fathers led to higher achievement in school. “There are relatively few studies that stress the unique role of fathers.” Padilla-Walker said.” This research also helps to prove that characteristics such as persistence which can be taught are key to a child’s life success.” Researchers determined that dads need to practice an “authoritative” parenting style. Authoritative parenting is not authoritarian; strict, demanding or controlling. Rather, an authoritative parenting style includes some of the following characteristics: children feel warmth and love from their father; responsibility and the reasons behind rules are stressed; children are given a proper level of autonomy. In the study, about 52 percent of the dads showed above-average levels of authoritative parenting. A key finding is that over time, children raised by an authoritative father were more likely to develop persistence, which leads to better results in school. This particular study examined 11-to 14-year-olds living in two-parent homes. Yet the researchers suggest that single parents still may play a role in teaching the benefits of persistence, which is an avenue of future research. 28. What is special about the BYU professors’ study? A. It aimed to improve kids’ achievement in school. B. It analyzed different kinds of parenting styles. C. It was based on a number of large families. D. It focused on father’s role in parenting. 29. What would an authoritative father do when raising his children? A. Explain the rules to them. B. Make decisions for them. C. Control their behaviors. D. Ignore their demands. 30. Which group can be a focus of future studies according to the researchers? A. Children aged from 11 to 14. B. Authoritarian fathers. C. Single parents. D. Mothers in two-parent homes. 31. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Three Characteristics of Authoritative Fathers. B. Key Skills for Young Adults to Succeed in Future. C. Family Relationship Influences School Performance. D. Children Tend to Learn Determination from Fathers. 【答案】28. D 29. A 30. C 31. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。研究人员发现，父亲在帮助青春期的孩子学习毅力方面具有独特的地位。研究人员认为，父亲们需要采用一种“权威”的养育方式，且一项重要的发现是，随着时间的推移，由权威父亲抚养长大的孩子更有可能培养出坚持不懈的精神，从而在学校取得更好的成绩。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Researchers from Brigham Young University discovered that fathers are in a unique position to help their adolescent children learn persistence. (杨百翰大学的研究人员发现，父亲在帮助青春期的孩子学习毅力方面具有独特的地位。)”可知，杨百翰大学研究的特别之处在于，它关注的是父亲在养育子女中的角色。故选D项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Rather, an authoritative parenting style includes some of the following characteristics: children feel warmth and love from their father; responsibility and the reasons behind rules are stressed; children are given a proper level of autonomy. (相反，权威的养育方式包括以下一些特征：孩子们感受到来自父亲的温暖和爱；强调责任和规则背后的原因；孩子们被给予适当的自主权。)”可知，一个有权威的父亲在抚养孩子时会向他们解释规则。故选A项。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Yet the researchers suggest that single parents still may play a role in teaching the benefits of persistence, which is an avenue of future research. (然而，研究人员认为，单亲父母仍然可能在教授坚持不懈的好处方面发挥作用，这是未来研究的一个方向。)”可知，根据研究人员的说法，单亲父母是未来研究的重点。故选C项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章倒数第二段中“A key finding is that over time, children raised by an authoritative father were more likely to develop persistence, which leads to better results in school. (一项重要的发现是，随着时间的推移，由权威父亲抚养长大的孩子更有可能培养出坚持不懈的精神，从而在学校取得更好的成绩。)”和文章主要内容为说明父亲在养育子女中的角色，故选D选项“孩子们倾向于向父亲学习决心”最符合文章标题。故选D项。 D Ever wondered how many steps you should really be aiming for each day to stay healthy? A study, led by the University of Granada (UGR) and published in one of the world’s leading journals, identifies for the first time the number of steps at which most people obtain the greatest benefits. The study has provided the first scientific proof for daily step count to significantly reduce the risk of premature (过早的) death: 8,000. It contradicts the popular belief that one should aim for 10,000 steps a day — an idea that came out of Japan in the 1960s but had no basis in science. “We have shown that the more steps you take, the better, and that there is no extra number of steps that has been proven to be harmful to health,” explains Francisco B. Ortega, the lead author of the study. The findings are based on a comprehensive analysis of data from twelve international studies involving over 110,000 participants. The study reveals that even small increases in the daily step count can lead to measurable health benefits. For those who lead a less active lifestyle, an additional 500 steps can already result in health improvements. “This is good news because not everyone can walk almost 9,000 steps a day, at least not at first, so you can set small, reachable goals and gradually make progress and increase the number of steps per day,” the researchers suggests. So, should we stop walking when we reach 9000 steps? “Absolutely not,” insists Ortega. “More steps are never bad. Our study showed that even as many as 16,000 steps a day does not pose a risk.” However, they also note that the daily step target should be age-appropriate. “Our study gives people clear and easily measurable goals,” Ortega concludes. “Counting steps is much simpler, especially since most people have a smartphone or smartwatch these days. The significance of our study lies in providing concrete and measurable targets for the number of daily steps and thereby contributing to people’s health.” 32. What can we learn about the new study? A. It originates (来源于) from Japan. B. It has reduced death rate. C. It has scientific evidence. D. It restricts (限制) extra daily steps. 33. What does the underlined word “contradict” in paragraph 2 mean? A. challenge. B. agree. C. revise. D. focus. 34. What do researchers advise inactive individuals to do? A. Increase walking pace. B. Set achievable step goals. C. Track progress every day. D. Add other forms of exercise. 35. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Pace vs Count: Walking Matters B. Impact of Walking 16,000 Steps C. Counting with Smart Wearables D. 8000 vs 10,000: Mystery solved 【答案】32. C 33. A 34. B 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项新的研究发现即每天走8000步可以显著降低死亡风险，这是首次给出步数目标。这项研究为人们提供了明确且易于衡量的步数目标，并有助于人们的健康。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“A study, led by the University of Granada (UGR) and published in one of the world’s leading journals, identifies for the first time the number of steps at which most people obtain the greatest benefits.( 一项由格拉纳达大学(UGR)领导并发表在世界领先期刊之一上的研究首次确定了大多数人获得最大益处的步数)”以及第二段中“The study has provided the first scientific proof for daily step count to significantly reduce the risk of premature death: 8,000.(这项研究首次提供了科学证据，证明每天走8000步可以显著降低过早死亡的风险)”可知，该研究结果发表在世界领先期刊，同时该研究是具有科学证据的。故选C。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据上文“The study has provided the first scientific proof for daily step count to significantly reduce the risk of premature (过早的) death: 8,000.(这项研究为每日步数能显著降低过早死亡风险提供了第一个科学证据：8000步。)”和下文“the popular belief that one should aim for 10,000 steps a day—an idea that came out of Japan in the 1960s but had no basis in science.(人们普遍认为每天应该走10000步的观点，该观点源于20世纪60年代的日本，但没有科学依据)”可知，这项研究反驳了人们以往的观点，由此可知，contradict意为“反驳、挑战”，选项A符合题意。故选A。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“This is good news because not everyone can walk almost 9,000 steps a day, at least not at first, so you can set small, reachable goals and gradually make progress and increase the number of steps per day(这是个好消息，因为不是每个人都能每天走近9000步，至少一开始不行，所以你可以设定小的、可实现的目标，逐渐取得进展，增加每天的步数)”可知，对于一些不太愿意活动或者运动不积极的人来说，文章建议这些人设定一些切实可行的目标。故选B。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“The study has provided the first scientific proof for daily step count to significantly reduce the risk of premature (过早的) death: 8,000. It contradicts the popular belief that one should aim for 10,000 steps a day — an idea that came out of Japan in the 1960s but had no basis in science.(这项研究首次提供了科学证据，证明每日步数可以显著降低过早死亡的风险（过早的）：8000。这与人们普遍认为的每天应该走1万步的想法相矛盾——这个想法在20世纪60年代来自日本，但没有科学依据。)”，并通读全文可知，文章介绍了一个研究发现即每天走8000步可以显著降低死亡风险，这是首次给出步数目标。这项研究为人们提供了明确且易于衡量的步数目标，并有助于人们的健康。D选项“8000 vs 10,000: Mystery solved(8000步对决10000步：谜底揭晓)”概括文章主要内容，符合标题。故选D。 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。 There are some skills for students to listen to teacher in class, which means you’re going to have to practice it.

Surfing In the 1920s, surfing fans began asking for the sport to be added to the Olympic program. Surfing was included in the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games. Then the famous surfing place, Teahupo’o in Tahiti, has hosted the surfing competition in the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. The speed, power and flow of surfers are important in the games. The variety, type and difficulty of the tricks have also been judged by five judges. Breaking Breaking, also known as break dancing, started in the Bronx, New York City, in the1970s as part of hip-hop culture. It grew as part of the underground culture of the 1980s. Judges score the breakers mainly based on musicality, performance, originality, technique and completion. Each one makes up part of the score. Skateboarding Skateboarding began in the US in the 1950s when surf culture was popular. The sport continued to grow and became very popular at the start of the 21st century, especially among young people. After its Olympic debut (首次亮相) at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, skateboarding has been part of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, held at the famous Place de la Concorde, in Paris. Sport Climbing Sport climbing has become very popular over the past 20 years and is done both outdoors and indoors. In 1985, climbers held the first climbing competition in Bardonecchia, Italy. Sport climbing first appeared in the Youth Olympic Games Buenos Aires 2018. After gaining popularity at youth events, it was introduced as a new sport at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games. 21. What can we learn about surfing? A. It has become the most famous sport in Teahupo’o. B. It was added to the Olympics in the 1920s. C. It made its Olympic debut in 2024. D. It needs a high level of skill. 22. How many ways do judges mainly consider when scoring breaking? A. 6. B. 5. C. 4. D. 3. 23. What do skateboarding and sport climbing have in common? A. They made their Tokyo Olympic debut in the same year. B. They made the first sports competition in Bardonecchia. C. They are only popular with youths. D. They are only done outside. B I’m a seventeen-year-old boy preparing for my A Level exams at the end of the year. In the society where my peers (同龄人) and I live, we tend to accept the rat race values. As students, we want to get good grades so that we can get good jobs. I enjoy studying and have always received A’s in my classes. There was a year when I finished first in my class in the final exams. It was a great achievement. Another one I am pleased with is that I managed to improve the relationship between Mum and Dad. Dad was a successful businessman who was rarely at home. Mum was a housewife who always felt bored and nagged (唠叨) him to let her go to work. Their frequent arguing bothered me, so I advised Dad that Mum would be better off with a part-time job. He agreed, and their relationship has improved since then. My most proud achievement, however, is my successful work in the local old folks’ home. My grandparents had raised me since I was a child. I wept (哭泣) bitterly when they died. Unlike many of my classmates, I do not take part in my school’s community service to earn points. I enjoy my voluntary work and believe I’m contributing to a worthwhile cause. This is where I can help. I talk to the elderly, help them with their daily life, and listen to their problems, happy days and the hardships they experienced. Last year, I hosted a successful New Year party for the elderly and they enjoyed a great time. Many expressed a desire to attend another party the following year. When I reflect on my accomplishments, I’m especially proud of my service at the old folks’ home, so I hope to study social work at university and work as a social worker in the future. I wish to be more skilled in attending to the less fortunate as well as find great satisfaction in it, after all. 24. What can be inferred about the author from the first paragraph? A. His good grades got him a good job. B. His views on social values are well known. C. He is satisfied with his achievements in study. D. He refuses to compete with his peers fiercely. 25. Which role does the author play in his parents’ relationship? A. A judge. B. A helper. C. A monitor. D. A supporter. 26. What is the greatest accomplishment for the author? A The success in exams. B. The work in community service. C. The contribution to volunteering. D. The recovery of confidence in life. 27. Why does the author want to study social work at university? A. To meet his grandparents’ expectations. B. To better help the disadvantaged. C. To give his life a purpose. D. To gain a well- paid job. C Today’s world is not an easy adjustment for young adults. A key skill set for success is persistence, a characteristic that researchers say is heavily influenced by fathers. Researchers from Brigham Young University discovered that fathers are in a unique position to help their adolescent children learn persistence. BYU professors Laura Padilla-Walker and Randal Duy arrived at these findings after following 325 American families over several years. And over time, the persistence gained through fathers led to higher achievement in school. “There are relatively few studies that stress the unique role of fathers.” Padilla-Walker said.” This research also helps to prove that characteristics such as persistence which can be taught are key to a child’s life success.” Researchers determined that dads need to practice an “authoritative” parenting style. Authoritative parenting is not authoritarian; strict, demanding or controlling. Rather, an authoritative parenting style includes some of the following characteristics: children feel warmth and love from their father; responsibility and the reasons behind rules are stressed; children are given a proper level of autonomy. In the study, about 52 percent of the dads showed above-average levels of authoritative parenting. A key finding is that over time, children raised by an authoritative father were more likely to develop persistence, which leads to better results in school. This particular study examined 11-to 14-year-olds living in two-parent homes.

A study, led by the University of Granada (UGR) and published in one of the world’s leading journals, identifies for the first time the number of steps at which most people obtain the greatest benefits. The study has provided the first scientific proof for daily step count to significantly reduce the risk of premature (过早的) death: 8,000. It contradicts the popular belief that one should aim for 10,000 steps a day — an idea that came out of Japan in the 1960s but had no basis in science. “We have shown that the more steps you take, the better, and that there is no extra number of steps that has been proven to be harmful to health,” explains Francisco B. Ortega, the lead author of the study. The findings are based on a comprehensive analysis of data from twelve international studies involving over 110,000 participants. The study reveals that even small increases in the daily step count can lead to measurable health benefits. For those who lead a less active lifestyle, an additional 500 steps can already result in health improvements. “This is good news because not everyone can walk almost 9,000 steps a day, at least not at first, so you can set small, reachable goals and gradually make progress and increase the number of steps per day,” the researchers suggests. So, should we stop walking when we reach 9000 steps? “Absolutely not,” insists Ortega. “More steps are never bad. Our study showed that even as many as 16,000 steps a day does not pose a risk.” However, they also note that the daily step target should be age-appropriate. “Our study gives people clear and easily measurable goals” Ortega concludes. “Counting steps is much simpler, especially since most people have a smartphone or smartwatch these days. The significance of our study lies in providing concrete and measurable targets for the number of daily steps and thereby contributing to people’s health.” 32. What can we learn about the new study? A. It originates (来源于) from Japan. B. It has reduced death rate. C. It has scientific evidence. D. It restricts (限制) extra daily steps. 33. What does the underlined word “contradict” in paragraph 2 mean? A. challenge. B. agree. C. revise. D. focus. 34. What do researchers advise inactive individuals to do? A. Increase walking pace. B. Set achievable step goals. C. Track progress every day. D. Add other forms of exercise. 35. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Pace vs Count: Walking Matters B. Impact of Walking 16,000 Steps C. Counting with Smart Wearables D. 8000 vs 10,000: Mystery solved 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。 There are some skills for students to listen to teacher in class, which means you’re going to have to practice it.
