The Pangs, who moved to the United States in 1988, wanted their son and daughter to know Chinese culture. As a video game-playing American teen, Kevin wasn’t interested. But when Kevin became a food writer for the Chicago Tribune, he realized he had a valuable resource: his cook-loving dad. “My father and I shared, for the first time, a common interest. I would call to ask about recipes and cooking techniques. He would school me on the world of Chinese food,” Kevin writes in the introduction to the cookbook he has just published. When it comes to cooking Chinese food, he points out that there is no one definition of Chinese food. “Chinese cooking is not hidebound. For example, consider baked pork chop rice(烤猪排饭), popularized in Hong Kong. It is a pork chop with egg-fried rice. And then you top it with this thick tomato sauce.” explains Kevin. “And then you top that with some cheese. It’s a very interesting combined dish that has some Western British influences, and it’s altogether very Chinese as well.” By the time Kevin joined America’s Test Kitchen (ATK) staff in 2020 as its editorial director for digital content, his dad had become an Internet celebrity demonstrating the family’s recipes. Kevin recognized an opportunity not only to share his own family’s food stories but also to apply the ATK method of breaking down recipes into simple steps for the home cook. “I think this cookbook can teach fathers and sons how to connect, how to find a common interest and improve their relationship.” Kevin says. That feeling has found a fan base, generating nearly 3 million views, for their online cooking series “Hunger Pangs”, where viewers speak highly of their father-son bond as much as they do of their attractive dishes. Today the Pangs’ relationship is rarely sour or hot. 24. Why would Kevin phone his father after becoming a food writer? A. To publish his Chinese cookbook. B. To inquire about hot-and-sour soup. C. To seek permission for video games. D. To ask about cooking Chinese food. 25. What does the underlined word “hidebound” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Unpleasant. B. Changeable. C. Inflexible. D. Unpopular. 26. What can we infer about Kevin and his father from the passage? A. Their relationship has improved. B. They run America’s Test Kitchen. C. They do dishes to attract followers. D. Their cookbook is about low-fat food. 27. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. Cooking at home helps you cook well for less. B. Father and son teach Chinese cooking together. C. Chinese culture is becoming popular in the US. D. Recipes and cooking techniques are really easy. C The Summer Olympics in Paris is always impressive, but 2024 promised something extraordinary even before the games began — the seats you are sitting on! Made from locally recycled plastic, these seats are sustainability (可持续性) champions in their own right. The Paris 2024 Summer Olympics made history in terms of sustainability, as 11,000 stadium seats made entirely of recycled plastic are used during the water sports. The plastic used for the seats was collected from recycling bins in the Seine-Saint-Denis neighborhood, and 80% of the 100 metric tons needed for the seats came from this area. The collected plastic was cut and torn into small pieces, processed and turned into new material by a local recycling firm called Le Pavé. After the base materials are produced into plastic seats with different colors the seats have gone through numerous tests, including mechanical resistance, fire resistance, as well as UV resistance. The recycled plastic chairs proved to be strong and durable, with producers reporting no problems in the production process. The use of recycled plastic seats is part of Paris and France’s commitment to sustainability, with the goal of reducing downstream emissions (排放) by 50% compared to the 2012 and 2016 games. Additionally, the city is working to fight against environment worsening by making the Seine River swimmable for the first time in decades, in an effort to host the triathlon (铁人三项) there. The recycled plastic seats not only promote sustainability but also raise awareness about waste recycling, with children being encouraged to throw their plastic bottles into appropriate bins. The Paris Olympics’ use of recycled plastic seats demonstrates the potential of a circular economy, where waste is repurposed and reused, ultimately reducing the amount of plastic waste in landfills and oceans. 28. What is special about the seats for the 2024 Paris Olympics? A. They won the championship in a competition. B. They are made with a mix of plastic types. C They are made from recyclable plastic. D. They are produced from local raw materials. 29. Where was the plastic for the seats mostly collected from? A. Recycling firms. B. Local recycling bins. C. All over France. D. International suppliers. 30. What does the numerous tests mainly show in paragraph 3? A. The advantages of the seats. B. The production process of the seats. C. The difficulty of producing the seats. D. The significance of the plastic seats. 31. What is one of the goals of using recycled plastic seats at the Paris Olympics? A. To create continued economic growth. B. To reduce energy consumption. C. To attract more attention to the games. D. To contribute to environmental efforts. D When it comes to going green, intention can be easier than action. Case in point: you decide to buy a T-shirt made from 100% organic cotton. But that green label doesn’t tell the whole story — like the fact that even organic cotton requires more than 10,000 L of water to grow enough fibre for one T-shirt. Or the possibility that the T-shirt may have been dyed (染色) using harmful industrial chemicals. If you knew all that, would you still consider the T-shirt green? Would you still buy it? It’s a hard question to answer. That’s because the global economy development is beyond our ability to comprehend the consequences — for ourselves and the planet. We are not prepared to understand the increasing impact of industrial chemicals on our children’s health or the climate. And we lack the data to understand the full impact of what we choose. But what if we could calculate the full lifetime effect of our actions on the earth and on our bodies? Not just carbon footprints but social and biological footprints as well? What if we could think ecologically? That’s what psychologist Daniel Goleman describes in his forthcoming book, Ecological Intelligence. He compiles (汇编) the environmental and biological impact of our every decision and delivers that information to consumers in a user-friendly way. That’s thinking ecologically — understanding the global environmental consequences of our local choices. Ecological intelligence is ultimately about more than what we buy. It’s also about our ability to accept that we live in a closely connected world with limited resources. Goleman highlights the Tibetan community of Sher, where for thousands of years, villagers have survived severe conditions by carefully protecting every resource available to them. The Tibetans think ecologically because they have no other choice. Neither do we. “We once had the luxury to ignore our impacts,” says Goleman. “Not any more.” 32. Why is it hard for us to decide whether a T-shirt is green or not? A. The green label tells lies. B. We lack enough knowledge. C. The economy grows too slowly. D. We are misled by false data. 33. What does Ecological Intelligence encourage readers to do? A. Increase carbon footprints. B. Give up regular consumption. C. Develop ecological thinking. D. Deliver information to customers. 34. How do the Tibetans of Sher live? A. By searching for new resources. B. By living on plentiful resources. C. By distributing resources reasonably. D. By treasuring their resources seriously. 35. What’s the purpose of the text? A. To instruct manufacturers how to go green. B. To introduce and advocate ecological intelligence. C. To warn people of the dangers of ecological crisis. D. To illustrate the origin of ecological intelligence. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。 HOW TO DO HARD THINGS It’s an inconvenient truth that the road to success isn’t a secret.

They shared everything—from secrets to lunches—and were inseparable. One sunny afternoon, as they walked in the nearby park, chatting about their plans for the future, they saw an injured dog. Without hesitation, Lily and Susan decided to help the poor little dog. They carefully held it and rushed to the nearest vet (兽医) clinic. The vet assured them that the dog would be fine with some rest and medicine. Relieved, they decided to name the dog Lucky and take turns to care for it until it recovered. Their act of kindness brought them even closer, and they spent many joyful hours playing with Lucky in the park. However, as high school progressed, their interests started to diverge (出现分歧) . Lily became passionate about painting, spending hours in the art room perfecting her art works, while Susan developed a deep interest in science, joining the school’s science club and taking part in various competitions. As time passed, they found themselves with less and less in common. One day, a misunderstanding occurred when Lily blamed Susan for ignoring Lucky because of her busy schedule. Susan felt hurt and believed that Lily didn’t understand the pressure she was under with her studies and extra-curricular activities. They argued, and for the first time, their friendship seemed strained. Feeling disheartened, both girls went their separate ways. But despite their differences, they couldn’t shake off the memories of better times and the close relationship they once shared. One evening, as Lily walked home from an art class, she noticed Susan sitting alone on the side of the road, looking deep in thought. She hesitated but then gathered up the courage to approach her. “Mind if I sit down?” she asked softly. Susan looked up, surprised but not unwelcoming. “I was just thinking about old times,” she admitted. “Me too,” Lily said quietly. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为 150个左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 They sat in silence for a while, both lost in their thoughts. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After talking, they came up with a plan to rebuild their relationship. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null 2024—2025学年高二上学期期中考试 英语试题 考生注意： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑;如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 考试时间为120分钟，满分150分 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 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，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What are the speakers going to do next?

A 【解析】 【原文】Across the UK, a group of volunteer motorcyclists are helping hospitals by delivering blood. Angela Brown is one of them. She is on call for 80 hours each month. At very short notice, she can be woken in the night and find herself riding a motorbike with a vital delivery for a hospital. But she’s not an employee of any hospital. She’s just a volunteer, one of the 1,400 advanced qualified riders of the Association of Blood Bikers. Last year, the Association’s bikers responded to around 35,000 rapid transport requests from 262 UK hospitals. Besides blood, the bikers also deliver surgical tools and medicine. Brown first discovered blood biking when she was on a course at the institute of advanced motorists. Her trainer was a blood biker. Under his influence, Brown started volunteering as a rider. She later discovered that blood bikers once helped her own nephew, Peter. He received blood delivered by a rider on New Year’s Eve, 2015. Brown says being a blood biker is a way of helping the community and being on the bike at the same time. 第二部分 阅读理解(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和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A Best Volunteer Programs for 2024 Zimbabwe — Volunteer at the African Wildlife Reserve Are you looking for a meaningful way to spend your vacation?

Not only will you care for the brilliant wildlife, but you will also learn how to collect data and conduct research.(志愿者与各种各样的动物密切合作，专门释放乌龟，长尾猴，豹子等等。你不仅会关心聪明的野生动物，而且你也将学习如何收集数据和进行研究)”可知，非洲野生动物保护区项目是保护野生动物，故动物爱好者可能会选择该项目，故选A。 【22题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三个项目Belize — Private Island Marine Experience中关键句“For the ultimate marine (海洋的) protection vacation, look no further!(想要终极的海洋保护假期，别再找了)”和“Volunteer tasks include removing invasive (侵入的) species and contributing to a whale shark database.(志愿者的任务包括清除入侵物种和为鲸鲨数据库做出贡献)”可推知，该项目的目的是保护海洋生物，故选C。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二个项目Sri Lanka — Women’s English Literacy and Empowerment Program中关键句“Make the most out of your travels by helping middle to lower-class women improve their English skills.(通过帮助中下层妇女提高她们英语技能，最大限度地利用你的旅行)”和第四个项目Indonesia — Education Enrichment in Bali中关键句“After public school finishes, volunteers help the students complete their homework or work on improving their English, math, and reading skills.(公立学校放学后，志愿者帮助学生完成家庭作业或提高他们的英语、数学和阅读技能)”可知，这两个项目的志愿者的共同点是在学英语方面都会有帮助，故选B。 B The relationship between Jeffrey Pang and his son, Kevin Pang, was like hot-and-sour soup. It boiled over easily. The Pangs, who moved to the United States in 1988, wanted their son and daughter to know Chinese culture. As a video game-playing American teen, Kevin wasn’t interested. But when Kevin became a food writer for the Chicago Tribune, he realized he had a valuable resource: his cook-loving dad. “My father and I shared, for the first time, a common interest. I would call to ask about recipes and cooking techniques. He would school me on the world of Chinese food,” Kevin writes in the introduction to the cookbook he has just published. When it comes to cooking Chinese food, he points out that there is no one definition of Chinese food. “Chinese cooking is not hidebound. For example, consider baked pork chop rice(烤猪排饭), popularized in Hong Kong. It is a pork chop with egg-fried rice. And then you top it with this thick tomato sauce.” explains Kevin. “And then you top that with some cheese. It’s a very interesting combined dish that has some Western British influences, and it’s altogether very Chinese as well.” By the time Kevin joined America’s Test Kitchen (ATK) staff in 2020 as its editorial director for digital content, his dad had become an Internet celebrity demonstrating the family’s recipes. Kevin recognized an opportunity not only to share his own family’s food stories but also to apply the ATK method of breaking down recipes into simple steps for the home cook. “I think this cookbook can teach fathers and sons how to connect, how to find a common interest and improve their relationship.” Kevin says. That feeling has found a fan base, generating nearly 3 million views, for their online cooking series “Hunger Pangs”, where viewers speak highly of their father-son bond as much as they do of their attractive dishes. Today the Pangs’ relationship is rarely sour or hot. 24. Why would Kevin phone his father after becoming a food writer? A. To publish his Chinese cookbook. B. To inquire about hot-and-sour soup. C. To seek permission for video games. D. To ask about cooking Chinese food. 25. What does the underlined word “hidebound” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Unpleasant. B. Changeable. C. Inflexible. D. Unpopular. 26. What can we infer about Kevin and his father from the passage? A. Their relationship has improved. B. They run America’s Test Kitchen. C. They do dishes to attract followers. D. Their cookbook is about low-fat food. 27. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. Cooking at home helps you cook well for less. B. Father and son teach Chinese cooking together. C. Chinese culture is becoming popular in the US. D. Recipes and cooking techniques are really easy. 【答案】24. D 25. C 26. A 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了Jeffrey Pang和他的儿子Kevin Pang之间通过共同的烹饪兴趣而改善了父子关系的故事。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段““My father and I shared, for the first time, a common interest. I would call to ask about recipes and cooking techniques. He would school me on the world of Chinese food,” Kevin writes in the introduction to the cookbook he has just published(Kevin 在他刚出版的烹饪书的引言中写道：“我和我父亲第一次有了共同的兴趣。我会打电话询问食谱和烹饪技巧。他会教我关于中国美食的知识”)” 可知，Kevin成为美食作家后给父亲打电话是为了询问烹饪中国美食的相关事宜。故选D项。 【25题详解】 词义猜测题。根据文章第三段““For example, consider baked pork chop rice (烤猪排饭), popularized in Hong Kong. It is a pork chop with egg-fried rice. And then you top it with this thick tomato sauce.” explains Kevin. “And then you top that with some cheese. It’s a very interesting combined dish that has some Western British influences, and it’s altogether very Chinese as well”(Kevin 解释说：“例如，考虑一下在香港流行的烤猪排饭。它是一份配有蛋炒饭的猪排，然后在上面浇上厚厚的番茄酱。然后再在上面放一些奶酪。这是一道非常有趣的融合菜肴，有一些英西的影响，但总体上也很有中国特色。”）”可知，Kevin 通过列举烤猪排饭这道融合多种元素的菜肴来说明中国烹饪并非是一成不变的，所以可推测 hidebound 意思是“死板的，不灵活的”，与C项“Inflexible”意思相近。故选C项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“The relationship between Jeffrey Pang and his son, Kevin Pang, was like hot-and-sour soup. It boiled over easily(Jeffrey Pang 和他儿子 Kevin Pang 之间的关系就像酸辣汤，很容易就沸腾起来（即容易起冲突）)”以及最后一段“Today the Pangs’ relationship is rarely sour or hot(如今，庞氏父子的关系很少有酸涩或激烈的时候了)”可知如今，庞氏父子的关系很少有酸涩或激烈的时候了，可推断出他们父子俩的关系已经得到了改善。故选A项。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“The relationship between Jeffrey Pang and his son, Kevin Pang, was like hot-and-sour soup. It boiled over easily. The Pangs, who moved to the United States in 1988, wanted their son and daughter to know Chinese culture. As a video game-playing American teen, Kevin wasn’t interested(庞杰和儿子庞凯文之间的关系就像酸辣汤一样，很容易沸腾。庞家于1988年搬到了美国，他们希望自己的孩子了解中国文化。作为玩电子游戏的美国青少年，凯文对此并不感兴趣)”、第二段“But when Kevin became a food writer for the Chicago Tribune, he realized he had a valuable resource: his cook-loving dad. “My father and I shared, for the first time, a common interest. I would call to ask about recipes and cooking techniques. He would school me on the world of Chinese food,” Kevin writes in the introduction to the cookbook he has just published(但是当凯文成为《芝加哥论坛报》的食品作家时，他意识到自己有一个宝贵的资源：喜欢烹饪的父亲。‘我爸爸和我首次分享了共同的兴趣。我会打电话询问食谱和烹饪技巧。他会教我关于中国美食的世界，’凯文在他刚刚出版的烹饪书的序言中写道)”以及最后一段“I think this cookbook can teach fathers and sons how to connect, how to find a common interest and improve their relationship.” Kevin says. That feeling has found a fan base, generating nearly 3 million views, for their online cooking series “Hunger Pangs”, where viewers speak highly of their father-son bond as much as they do of their attractive dishes. Today the Pangs’ relationship is rarely sour or hot(我认为这本烹饪书可以教会父子之间如何建立联系，如何找到共同兴趣并改善他们的关系。”凯文说。这种感觉吸引了一大批粉丝，他们的在线烹饪系列《饥饿庞氏》获得了近300万的观看量，观众们对他们父子间的情感纽带和他们制作的美味菜肴一样高度评价。如今，庞家的关系很少再有酸涩或火热的时刻)”可知，文章主要讲述了 Kevin Pang 成为美食作家后与热爱烹饪的父亲因中国美食相关事宜互动增多，父亲还成了网络名人展示家族食谱，Kevin 加入美国试验厨房后借此机会不仅分享自家美食故事还运用其方法将食谱拆解成简单步骤供家庭厨师参考，两人还推出线上烹饪系列 “饥饿庞氏”，整个故事围绕父子俩共同教授中国烹饪展开。所以这篇文章主要讲的是父子俩一起教授中国烹饪。故选B项。 C The Summer Olympics in Paris is always impressive, but 2024 promised something extraordinary even before the games began — the seats you are sitting on! Made from locally recycled plastic, these seats are sustainability (可持续性) champions in their own right. The Paris 2024 Summer Olympics made history in terms of sustainability, as 11,000 stadium seats made entirely of recycled plastic are used during the water sports. The plastic used for the seats was collected from recycling bins in the Seine-Saint-Denis neighborhood, and 80% of the 100 metric tons needed for the seats came from this area. The collected plastic was cut and torn into small pieces, processed and turned into new material by a local recycling firm called Le Pavé. After the base materials are produced into plastic seats with different colors, the seats have gone through numerous tests, including mechanical resistance, fire resistance, as well as UV resistance. The recycled plastic chairs proved to be strong and durable, with producers reporting no problems in the production process. The use of recycled plastic seats is part of Paris and France’s commitment to sustainability, with the goal of reducing downstream emissions (排放) by 50% compared to the 2012 and 2016 games. Additionally, the city is working to fight against environment worsening by making the Seine River swimmable for the first time in decades, in an effort to host the triathlon (铁人三项) there. The recycled plastic seats not only promote sustainability but also raise awareness about waste recycling, with children being encouraged to throw their plastic bottles into appropriate bins. The Paris Olympics’ use of recycled plastic seats demonstrates the potential of a circular economy, where waste is repurposed and reused, ultimately reducing the amount of plastic waste in landfills and oceans. 28. What is special about the seats for the 2024 Paris Olympics? A. They won the championship in a competition. B. They are made with a mix of plastic types. C. They are made from recyclable plastic. D. They are produced from local raw materials. 29. Where was the plastic for the seats mostly collected from? A. Recycling firms. B. Local recycling bins. C. All over France. D. International suppliers. 30. What does the numerous tests mainly show in paragraph 3? A. The advantages of the seats. B. The production process of the seats. C. The difficulty of producing the seats. D. The significance of the plastic seats. 31. What is one of the goals of using recycled plastic seats at the Paris Olympics? A. To create continued economic growth. B. To reduce energy consumption. C. To attract more attention to the games. D. To contribute to environmental efforts. 【答案】28. C 29. B 30. A 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是新闻报道。文章讲述了2024年巴黎奥运会的座椅使用可回收塑料制成，不仅促进了可持续性，还提高了人们对废物回收的认识。巴黎奥运会对再生塑料座椅的使用展示了循环经济的潜力。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Made from locally recycled plastic, these seats are sustainability (可持续性) champions in their own right.(这些座椅由当地回收的塑料制成，本身就是可持续发展的冠军。)”可知，2024年巴黎奥运会的座椅特别之处在于它们由可回收塑料制成的，故选C。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The plastic used for the seats was collected from recycling bins in the Seine-Saint-Denis neighborhood, and 80% of the 100 metric tons needed for the seats came from this area.(座椅所用的塑料是从塞纳-圣德尼附近的回收箱中收集的，座椅所需的100吨塑料中有80%来自该地区。)”可知，这些塑料主要来自当地的回收垃圾箱，故选B。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段内容“After the base materials are produced into plastic seats with different colors, the seats have gone through numerous tests, including mechanical resistance, fire resistance, as well as UV resistance. The recycled plastic chairs proved to be strong and durable, with producers reporting no problems in the production process. (基材生产成不同颜色的塑料座椅后，座椅经过多次测试，包括机械性能、防火性能、抗紫外线性能等。事实证明，回收的塑料椅子坚固耐用，生产商称在生产过程中没有出现任何问题。)”可知，这些测试主要显示了座椅的优点，故选A。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段内容“The use of recycled plastic seats is part of Paris and France’s commitment to sustainability, with the goal of reducing downstream emissions (排放) by 50% compared to the 2012 and 2016 games. Additionally, the city is working to fight against environment worsening by making the Seine River swimmable for the first time in decades, in an effort to host the triathlon (铁人三项) there.(使用再生塑料座椅是巴黎和法国可持续发展承诺的一部分，其目标是与2012年和2016年奥运会相比，将下游排放量减少50%。此外，为了举办铁人三项比赛，巴黎几十年来首次将塞纳河改造成可游泳的河流，以此来应对日益恶化的环境。)”可知，使用可回收塑料座椅的目的是为了环境保护，实现可持续发展目标，故选D。 D When it comes to going green, intention can be easier than action. Case in point: you decide to buy a T-shirt made from 100% organic cotton. But that green label doesn’t tell the whole story — like the fact that even organic cotton requires more than 10,000 L of water to grow enough fibre for one T-shirt. Or the possibility that the T-shirt may have been dyed (染色) using harmful industrial chemicals. If you knew all that, would you still consider the T-shirt green? Would you still buy it? It’s a hard question to answer. That’s because the global economy development is beyond our ability to comprehend the consequences — for ourselves and the planet. We are not prepared to understand the increasing impact of industrial chemicals on our children’s health or the climate. And we lack the data to understand the full impact of what we choose. But what if we could calculate the full lifetime effect of our actions on the earth and on our bodies? Not just carbon footprints but social and biological footprints as well? What if we could think ecologically? That’s what psychologist Daniel Goleman describes in his forthcoming book, Ecological Intelligence. He compiles (汇编) the environmental and biological impact of our every decision and delivers that information to consumers in a user-friendly way. That’s thinking ecologically — understanding the global environmental consequences of our local choices. Ecological intelligence is ultimately about more than what we buy. It’s also about our ability to accept that we live in a closely connected world with limited resources. Goleman highlights the Tibetan community of Sher, where for thousands of years, villagers have survived severe conditions by carefully protecting every resource available to them. The Tibetans think ecologically because they have no other choice. Neither do we. “We once had the luxury to ignore our impacts,” says Goleman. “Not any more.” 32. Why is it hard for us to decide whether a T-shirt is green or not? A. The green label tells lies. B. We lack enough knowledge. C. The economy grows too slowly. D. We are misled by false data. 33. What does Ecological Intelligence encourage readers to do? A. Increase carbon footprints. B. Give up regular consumption. C. Develop ecological thinking. D. Deliver information to customers. 34. How do the Tibetans of Sher live? A. By searching for new resources. B. By living on plentiful resources. C. By distributing resources reasonably. D. By treasuring their resources seriously. 35. What’s the purpose of the text? A. To instruct manufacturers how to go green. B. To introduce and advocate ecological intelligence. C. To warn people of the dangers of ecological crisis. D. To illustrate the origin of ecological intelligence. 【答案】32. B 33. C 34. D 35. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。这篇文章主要是介绍和倡导生态智能。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Case in point: you decide to buy a T-shirt made from 100% organic cotton. But that green label doesn’t tell the whole story—like the fact that even organic cotton requires more than 10,000 L of water to grow enough fibre for one T-shirt. Or the possibility that the T-shirt may have been dyed (染色) using harmful industrial chemicals. If you knew all that, would you still consider the T-shirt green? (举个例子：你决定买一件100%有机棉制成的T恤。但绿色标签并不能说明全部情况，比如即使是有机棉也需要超过10000升水才能生长出足够的纤维来制作一件T恤。或者T恤可能是用有害的工业化学品染色的。如果你知道这些，你还会认为这件T恤是绿色的吗？)”可知，我们很难决定T恤是不是绿色的是因为我们缺乏足够的知识。故选B。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“But what if we could calculate the full lifetime effect of our actions on the earth and on our bodies? Not just carbon footprints but social and biological footprints as well? What if we could think ecologically? That’s what psychologist Daniel Goleman describes in his forthcoming book, Ecological Intelligence. He compiles (汇编) the environmental and biological impact of our every decision and delivers that information to consumers in a user-friendly way. That’s thinking ecologically—understanding the global environmental consequences of our local choices. (但是，如果我们能计算出我们的行为对地球和身体的终身影响呢？不仅仅是碳足迹，还有社会和生物足迹？如果我们能从生态角度思考呢？这就是心理学家Daniel Goleman在即将出版的《生态智能》一书中所描述的。他汇编了我们每一个决定对环境和生物的影响，并以用户友好的方式向消费者提供这些信息。这就是生态思考——理解我们当地选择对全球环境的影响。)”可知，《生态智能》鼓励读者培养生态思维能力。故选C。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Goleman highlights the Tibetan community of Sher, where for thousands of years, villagers have survived severe conditions by carefully protecting every resource available to them. (戈尔曼重点介绍了谢尔藏族社区，数千年来，村民们通过精心保护他们所能获得的一切资源，在恶劣的条件下生存了下来。)”可知，谢尔的藏人是通过认真珍惜他们的资源来生活的。故选D。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“But what if we could calculate the full lifetime effect of our actions on the earth and on our bodies? Not just carbon footprints but social and biological footprints as well? What if we could think ecologically?

It’s also about our ability to accept that we live in a closely connected world with limited resources. (生态智能最终不仅仅是我们购买的东西。这也关乎我们接受我们生活在一个资源有限、联系紧密的世界的能力。)”可知，这篇文章主要是介绍和倡导生态智能。故选B。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。 HOW TO DO HARD THINGS It’s an inconvenient truth that the road to success isn’t a secret.

The stronger your why, the better. ____39____ Every day at a particular hour, you will do this hard thing. Pure focus, no multi-tasking. Take it easy at first and gradually lengthen the amount of time you spend on this. Enjoy it, too. You’re a winner and you can do it. Leave the doubts behind. When you’re doing something hard, your brain will try to find ways to stop doing it. You’ll want to look things up or find easy ways of doing the hard thing. Don’t give in to these tempting arguments during your hard work sessions. ____40____ If you keep improving yourself by doing hard things, you’ll be getting better at your targeted skill. So don’t spend too much time working around the hard task. Just do the hard thing instead. A. This should be easy to figure out. B. Change your thinking so the hard thing looks good. C. But we don’t do those things because they are hard. D. Make a commitment and turn the hard thing into a habit. E. If you are not clear about it, you’ll lose motivation quickly. F.

One sunny afternoon, as they walked in the nearby park, chatting about their plans for the future, they saw an injured dog. Without hesitation, Lily and Susan decided to help the poor little dog. They carefully held it and rushed to the nearest vet (兽医) clinic. The vet assured them that the dog would be fine with some rest and medicine. Relieved, they decided to name the dog Lucky and take turns to care for it until it recovered. Their act of kindness brought them even closer, and they spent many joyful hours playing with Lucky in the park. However, as high school progressed, their interests started to diverge (出现分歧) . Lily became passionate about painting, spending hours in the art room perfecting her art works, while Susan developed a deep interest in science, joining the school’s science club and taking part in various competitions. As time passed, they found themselves with less and less in common. One day, a misunderstanding occurred when Lily blamed Susan for ignoring Lucky because of her busy schedule. Susan felt hurt and believed that Lily didn’t understand the pressure she was under with her studies and extra-curricular activities. They argued, and for the first time, their friendship seemed strained. Feeling disheartened, both girls went their separate ways. But despite their differences, they couldn’t shake off the memories of better times and the close relationship they once shared. One evening, as Lily walked home from an art class, she noticed Susan sitting alone on the side of the road, looking deep in thought. She hesitated but then gathered up the courage to approach her. “Mind if I sit down?” she asked softly. Susan looked up, surprised but not unwelcoming. “I was just thinking about old times,” she admitted. “Me too,” Lily said quietly. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为 150个左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 They sat in silence for a while, both lost in their thoughts. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After talking, they came up with a plan to rebuild their relationship. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 They sat in silence for a while, both lost in their thoughts. They were all immersed in the beautiful memories of the past. Suddenly, Susan said, “I don't know why we argued, and it was all because of some small things.” “And, I care about Lucky. It’s the cutest little dog in the world,” Susan added. Lily smiled and said, “Of course, we’re still good friends.” The two girls talked a lot, as if unaware of the passage of time. They were happy to be able to bridge the gap between each other. After talking, they came up with a plan to rebuild their relationship. Susan decided to try to understand painting, while Lily decided to try to understand science. After school, they went home together. On weekends, they took Lucky to the park for a walk, which made them feel excited. When encountering disagreements, they would analyze rather than argue. True friends will not be separated by minor conflicts. True friends understand and support each other. 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了莉莉和苏珊从幼儿园起就是最好的朋友，她们分享一切，形影不离，她们还收养了一只受伤的流浪狗。但随着时间流逝，她们因为爱好不同及忙碌的学习而忽略彼此，最终引发矛盾，不再理会彼此。一天，莉莉下课回家见到沉思的苏珊，她过去搭话。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“她们沉默地坐了一会儿，都陷入了沉思。”可知，第一段可描写两人的心理活动及语言交流。 ②由第二段首句内容“经过交谈，她们想出了一个重建关系的计划。”可知，第二段可描写两人是如何重建友谊的。 2.续写线索：陷入回忆——坦诚交流——原谅彼此——重建友谊——找回友谊——朋友的真谛 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①争吵：argue/quarrel ②关心：care about/be concerned with ③决定做某事：decided to do/be determined to do 情绪类 ①高兴的：happy/glad ②兴奋的：excited/thrilled 【点睛】[高分句型1].
