Today, just the name brings to mind images of café society pleasure-seekers and celebrities, which is part of the fascination that attracts six million visitors a year. The summer months are the most active, with super yachts docked in the harbor and private chateau parties. Hotels are booked well in advance, so many just make it a day trip, taking ferries from Nice and Cannes. Picasso ate here! Le Ponche is one of the smaller town beaches. Above it is Hôtel de la Ponch that began to attract patrons with flair (才华) such as Pablo Picaso and actress Jeanne Moreau. Today, it’s a five-star hotel that preserves a very authentic atmosphere. To the owner, Madame Simone Duckstein, it is home. She inherited it from her father and has lived in St. Tropez her entire life. Festive markets A less-expensive but wonderfully homey and inviting option is the three-star Hôtel des Lices. It’s just a short walk from the Place des Lices, where people gather. Every Tuesday and Saturday, lanes are packed with tents for a festive market where all manner of food, flowers and goods are on offer. Cheese, breads, linen tunics, art, silver, baskets. pottery, hats, handbags and salami are sold, but unlike most markets, there is no bargaining. Nature, culture and history If you need a break from all that shopping, get a little culture at the town’s many art galleries and Le musée de l’ Annonciade, a museum which was built in the early 1500s as the Chapel of Our Lady of the Annunciation. Stay more than a day whatever time of year you go. The longer you stay the longer you will want to. It is hard to resist the song of the siren that is St. Tropez. 1. Which months may be the busiest in St. Tropez according to the passage? A. March, April and May B. June, July and August C. September, October and November D. December, January and February 2. What’s so special about the festive markets? A. There are various kinds of items. B. The items there are less-expensive. C. The market days are different from others. D. There is no argument over the prices of the items. 3. Where is the text most probably taken from? A. A guidebook. B. A survey report. C. A coursebook. D. A geographical paper. B When Sarah Wishnia received an iPad from her daughter, she didn’t even know how to open the thing. Max Rosenblum showed her how to socialize on Facebook and how to shop on Amazon with her new device. Max, 16, a rising junior in Florida, began offering his tech coaching for seniors at The Palace and at The Palms in Weston more than a year ago, after he helped his grandmother with her iPhone, iPad and Apple watch. That experience inspired him and his parents. They reached out to a connection at The Palace at Coral Gables and launched a website: techmaxed. com. His students are residents of The Palace at Coral Gables, octogenarians(八旬老人) fascinated by technology and eager to learn about this brave new frontier. Though a class might appear to be more convenient, Max found out that group sessions simply didn’t work. “People are at different levels,” he said. “It is much better to give them individual help.” All his students, regardless of age or skill, are motivated by the power of technology to connect. They want to stay in touch—and see— children and great-grandchildren who live elsewhere. They come with their notepads, laptops and smartphones in hopes of learning how to text, Skype, FaceTime, Facebook and email. The best part of giving up a weekend day? Watching the pleasure someone gets when he or she sees a faraway relative on the screen. “One woman hadn’t seen her sister in years and she learned to Skype,” he recalled. Max admits that teaching older adults the complicated details of something has made him a more responsible and patient person, but he figures he’s also paying it forward. “Maybe when I’m 87 and there’s new technology,” he said, “somebody will teach me. too.” 4. What happened to Sarah when she received the iPad from her daughter? A. She had no interest in opening it. B. She had no idea how to use it. C. She felt quite disappointed with it. D. She showed it to Max Rosenblum. 5. What inspired Max to begin teaching seniors to use smart devices? A. The reward for helping the senior residents. B. The need to practice using new technology. C. The desire to help those who were in need. D. The experience of teaching his grandmother. 6. Why didn’t Max teach all his students as a class? A. Because the senior students were unwilling to be taught as a class. B. Because he had no such experience to teach many people at the same time. C. Because it was better to give distinctive help owing to their different levels. D. Because there was not a suitable place for them to attend class as a whole. 7. How did Max find his act of teaching older adults? A. It was unsatisfactory. B. It was effortless. C. It was rewarding. D. It was demanding. C China’s new energy vehicle sector has witnessed rapid growth in recent years, getting a head start in the global race to electrify cars and fostering competitive edges in its domestic auto brands. In its latest move to boost NEV development, China said it aims to bring this year’s NEV sales to 9 million units, an increase of 30 percent year-on-year, according a work plan unveiled last week. Zhu Yifang, a researcher with the China Automotive Technology and Research Center Co Ltd, said that policy support has been an “accelerator” for the development of China’ s NEV industry over the years. China rolled out its first NEV development plan in 2008. The country’s policymakers, at both central and local levels, have since provided consistent and solid support for the development of the sector. East China’s Anhui province is a typical example. It was among the first provinces to develop NEVs in China, and has long leveraged policy stimulus to promote the growth of the industry. Anhui is now home to carmakers such as Chery and Nio. On the consumption front, preferential policies have encouraged people to choose new energy cars over fossil-fueled ones, facilitating the expansion of the NEV market and powering firms along the industrial chain to step up innovation. With policy support and market-driven innovation, China has put in place a relatively complete NEV industrial chain, covering batteries, motors, electronic controls, and vehicle manufacturing and sales. In the past, competition in the sector was mainly about special technologies, but nowadays what matters more is the industrial chain, said Xu Jun. vice-president of Chinese car manufacturer Leapmotor. If China’s new energy carmakers want to benefit from the current momentum (势头), according to Zhu Yifang, they should consolidate their advantages and catch up with their overseas peers in such areas as brand value, technology R&D and global layout. Fu Bingfeng, executive vice-president of the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, called for sustained efforts to improve the development of chips, basic software, key materials and other weak links in the industrial chain. Amid the global wave of electrification and intelligent transformation, China’s carmakers must step up technological innovation and make car manufacturing more digitalized and intelligent, Zhu said. 8. What has accelerated the development of China’s NEV industry over the years? A. Policy support. B. More investment. C. Technological development. D. Fierce competition. 9. What does the underlined word “leveraged” probably mean in paragraph 3? A. Thought highly of. B. Got rid of. C. Made use of. D. Took consideration of. 10. What can we learn concerning the new energy vehicle industry? A. It hasn’t got enough attention in China. B. China falls behind in the global race to electrify cars. C. It is much less competitive than before. D. The focus of the competition has shifted. 11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph of the text? A. China’s NEV industry has by far surpassed the overseas peers. B. There is still a long way for China’s NEV industry to go. C. At present China’s NEV industry has no advantages at all. D. China’s carmakers are supposed to copy their peers to make rapid progress. D There is little, it seems, that people won’t do for their pets. Americans spent $186 bn on them last year, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis, covering everything from food and vet visits to toys and grooming. That is more than they spent on childcare. Catering to pets has become big business. Mars, a company best known for its chocolate bars, made two-thirds of its revenue (收益) last year from pet-care. Besides owning the Royal Canin pet-food brand, the company also operates thousands of vet clinics. Nestlé and Colgate, two other consumer-products giants, also make around a fifth of their revenue from their pet divisions. Spending on pets rocketed through the covid-19 pandemic, as lonely people adopted animals and then gave in to excessive spending on them. Between 2019 and 2023 pet spending grew by a compound annual rate of 11%, in nominal terms, compared with 6% for consumer spending overall and 5% for pet spending over the preceding decade. Plenty more growth is yet to come. Morgan Stanley, a bank, estimates pet spending in America will grow by 2.5% this year, well ahead of estimates for, say, clothes, and forecasts that annual spending will rise to around $260 bn by 2030. And analysts calculate the pet business will soon have a boom again. Behind that is a shift in the relationship between pets and humans. Owners increasingly see themselves as parents, not masters. That change is playing out across generations. “Millennials and Gen Z see their pets differently,” says Kristin Peck, chief executive of Zoetis, a drugmaker for animals. “They really see them as part of their families.” Some 95% of Gen Z owners surveyed last year by the American Pet Products Association, an industry group, said they bought their dog a gift at least once a year, compared with 81% of boomers. The average cost of those gifts was a lavish $44 among Gen Z owners, compared with $17 among boomers. All this is attracting plenty of newcomers to the pet industry. Earlier this month Gilles Andrier, the boss of a Swiss company, said his firm is eyeing the pet-food market. “People spend more money on pets than kids nowadays,” he explained. Best, then, to have a dog in the fight. 12. Why are the three companies mentioned in paragraph 1? A. To introduce some pet products. B. To describe a strange phenomenon. C. To provide support for the topic. D. To attract the interest of the readers. 13. What are the attitudes of Millennials and Gen Z to the pets? A. They show no interest in raising pets. B. They share the similar ideas to the older generations. C. They are only willing to spend money on necessities. D. They treat them as members of their families. 14. How does the author support the topic of the text? A. By presenting an experiment. B. By listing the statistic data. C. By giving some definitions. D. By sharing personal viewpoints. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A Pet Marketing is Booming. B. Attitudes to Pets Have Changed. C. Raising Pets Is Costly. D. Furry Friends Are Important to People. 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。 Over time our consistent thoughts become our beliefs. This is a positive thing if our beliefs serve us in some way — like believing you are a healthy person. But when our beliefs are based on thoughts that do not serve us now or in the future, they become dangerous. Sometimes we tell ourselves subtle lies to feel better. ___16___ 1. I’ll do it ‘one day’. This one is particularly deceptive. One day you will... What? This lie drives me crazy. ___17___ No one even knows how many precious days they have here on planet Earth. Plan it now. Do it now. The present is all we’ve got. 2. If I could just have X, everything would be so much better. The truth is, if we are not happy now, we won’t be happy when we get “the prize” — the love interest, the pay raise, the “perfect” body. ___18___ There is no magic “thing” eluding you. The biggest magic you can apply to your life now is appreciation. Appreciation makes everything better and it turns what you have into enough. 3. I’m not ready to do X. No one ever truly feels ready for anything — parenthood, entrepreneurship, change. We just begin. ___19___ If you say you aren’t ready for something, you are either not really interested in doing it or you are procrastinating. Which is it? 4. I’m not good enough. ___20___ You are good enough. You are enough. You do not need to do anything to deserve a full, rich and happy life. A. This is the biggest lie of all. B Nothing is truly perfect in the world. C. That is how we become ready. D. These lies may offer comfort in the moment, but harm us in the long run. E. Because one day you will wake up and there will be no time left. F. To tell lies is harder than to face a truth that may be painful to accept. G. Remember, many of the things you have now were once wished for. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 In a small town, there lived an old man named Mr. Johnson.

Yet, he considers himself a farmer because he ____37____ (continual) works the land in his research. Indeed, his slim ____38____ strong body is just like that of millions of Chinese farmers, to whom he has devoted his life. Yuan Longping was born in 1930 in Beijing. His parents wanted him to pursue a career in science or medicine. However, ____39____ concerned him most was that farmers often had poor harvests and sometimes even had a serious shortage of food to eat. To tackle this crisis, he chose to study agriculture and ____40____ (receive) an education at Southwest Agricultural College in Chongqing. After graduating in 1953, he worked as a researcher.

Lily was shy and often found it difficult to make friends. She would walk through the crowded streets, feeling a sense of isolation amidst the sea of people. Her days were spent mostly alone, reading books in quiet corners of cafes or taking long walks in the park. She yearned for companionship but her shyness held her back. One day, as she was browsing through a bookstore, she came across an advertisement for a social event at a local community center. The idea of attending such an event filled her with trepidation. She debated with herself for hours, imagining all the possible scenarios that could go wrong. But a small voice inside her urged her to take a chance and break free from her shell. Finally, after much internal struggle, she decided to overcome her shyness and attend. As she walked into the room filled with people, her heart pounded with nervousness. The noise and chatter seemed overwhelming. She found a quiet corner and sat there, observing others. Her hands were fidgety, and she constantly questioned her decision to be there. Suddenly, a friendly woman named Sarah approached her and started a conversation. Lily was hesitant at first but soon found herself engaged in a pleasant chat with Sarah. They discovered they had common interests in books and music. As the evening progressed, Lily began to relax and enjoy the company. She realized that maybe stepping out of her comfort zone wasn’t so bad after all. The event ended with Lily feeling a glimmer of hope and a newfound sense of courage. She had taken a small step towards breaking free from her isolation. Little did she know that this encounter would change her life in ways she couldn’t yet imagine. 注意：(1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式作答。 After the event, Lily and Sarah exchanged contact information. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As time passed, Lily’s life changed significantly because of this new friendship. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ ★2024年11月8日 2024—2025学年度高三阶段性考试 英语 注意事项： 1. 答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号填写在试卷和答题卡上，并将考生条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2. 选择题答案使用2B铅笔填涂，如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号；非选择题答案使用0.5毫米的黑色墨水签字笔书写，字体工整、笔迹清楚。 3. 请按照题号在各题的答题区域（黑色线框）内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效。 4. 考试结束后，将答题卡交回。 第Ⅰ卷 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，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。 例: How much is the shirt?

It is hard to resist the song of the siren that is St. Tropez. (无论您什么时候来，都建议停留超过一天。您停留的时间越长，就越想继续留下来。很难抗拒圣特罗佩这位“海妖”的歌声。)”可知，整篇文章介绍了圣特罗佩的历史、文化、旅游景点和市场特色等内容，语言风格适合旅行指南，旨在吸引游客前往参观。因此，这篇文章最有可能出自旅行指南。故选A。 B When Sarah Wishnia received an iPad from her daughter, she didn’t even know how to open the thing. Max Rosenblum showed her how to socialize on Facebook and how to shop on Amazon with her new device. Max, 16, a rising junior in Florida, began offering his tech coaching for seniors at The Palace and at The Palms in Weston more than a year ago, after he helped his grandmother with her iPhone, iPad and Apple watch. That experience inspired him and his parents. They reached out to a connection at The Palace at Coral Gables and launched a website: techmaxed. com. His students are residents of The Palace at Coral Gables, octogenarians(八旬老人) fascinated by technology and eager to learn about this brave new frontier. Though a class might appear to be more convenient, Max found out that group sessions simply didn’t work. “People are at different levels,” he said. “It is much better to give them individual help.” All his students, regardless of age or skill, are motivated by the power of technology to connect. They want to stay in touch—and see— children and great-grandchildren who live elsewhere. They come with their notepads, laptops and smartphones in hopes of learning how to text, Skype, FaceTime, Facebook and email. The best part of giving up a weekend day? Watching the pleasure someone gets when he or she sees a faraway relative on the screen. “One woman hadn’t seen her sister in years and she learned to Skype,” he recalled. Max admits that teaching older adults the complicated details of something has made him a more responsible and patient person, but he figures he’s also paying it forward. “Maybe when I’m 87 and there’s new technology,” he said, “somebody will teach me. too.” 4. What happened to Sarah when she received the iPad from her daughter? A. She had no interest in opening it. B. She had no idea how to use it. C. She felt quite disappointed with it. D. She showed it to Max Rosenblum. 5. What inspired Max to begin teaching seniors to use smart devices? A. The reward for helping the senior residents. B. The need to practice using new technology. C. The desire to help those who were in need. D. The experience of teaching his grandmother. 6. Why didn’t Max teach all his students as a class? A. Because the senior students were unwilling to be taught as a class. B. Because he had no such experience to teach many people at the same time. C. Because it was better to give distinctive help owing to their different levels. D. Because there was not a suitable place for them to attend class as a whole. 7. How did Max find his act of teaching older adults? A. It was unsatisfactory. B. It was effortless. C. It was rewarding. D. It was demanding. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章围绕Max Rosenblum教老年人使用智能设备展开，详细叙述了事情的起因、经过和结果。呼吁社会关注老年人在科技学习方面的需求，鼓励更多人参与到帮助老年人适应数字时代的行动中来。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“When Sarah Wishnia received an iPad from her daughter, she didn’t even know how to open the thing. (当Sarah Wishnia从她女儿那里收到一台iPad时，她甚至不知道如何打开这个东西。)”可知，Sarah收到女儿的iPad时不知道怎么打开它，也就是不知道如何使用，故选B项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Max, 16, a rising junior in Florida, began offering his tech coaching for seniors at The Palace and at The Palms in Weston more than a year ago, after he helped his grandmother with her iPhone, iPad and Apple watch. (16 岁的马克斯是佛罗里达州一名即将升入高三的学生。一年多前，在他帮助祖母使用iPhone、iPad和Apple Watch之后，他开始在韦斯顿的皇宫酒店和棕榈酒店为老年人提供科技指导。)”及第三段中“That experience inspired him and his parents. (那次经历激励了他和他的父母。)”可知，帮助祖母使用智能设备的经历激励了Max，故选D项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“ ‘People are at different levels,’ he said. ‘It is much better to give them individual help.’ (“人们处于不同的水平，”他说。“给予他们个别帮助要好得多。”)”可知，因为人们的水平不同，所以最好给予个别帮助，故选C项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Watching the pleasure someone gets when he or she sees a faraway relative on the screen. (看着某人在屏幕上看到远方的亲戚时所获得的快乐。)”及“Max admits that teaching older adults the complicated details of something has made him a more responsible and patient person, but he figures he’s also paying it forward. (Max承认，教老年人某事的复杂细节使他成为一个更负责任和更有耐心的人，但他认为他也在付出代价。)”可知，Max觉得教老年人使用智能设备让他变得更有责任感和耐心，并且看到老年人通过他的教导与远方亲人联系上的快乐，这是有回报的，故选C项。 C China’s new energy vehicle sector has witnessed rapid growth in recent years, getting a head start in the global race to electrify cars and fostering competitive edges in its domestic auto brands. In its latest move to boost NEV development, China said it aims to bring this year’s NEV sales to 9 million units, an increase of 30 percent year-on-year, according a work plan unveiled last week. Zhu Yifang, a researcher with the China Automotive Technology and Research Center Co Ltd, said that policy support has been an “accelerator” for the development of China’ s NEV industry over the years. China rolled out its first NEV development plan in 2008. The country’s policymakers, at both central and local levels, have since provided consistent and solid support for the development of the sector. East China’s Anhui province is a typical example. It was among the first provinces to develop NEVs in China, and has long leveraged policy stimulus to promote the growth of the industry. Anhui is now home to carmakers such as Chery and Nio. On the consumption front, preferential policies have encouraged people to choose new energy cars over fossil-fueled ones, facilitating the expansion of the NEV market and powering firms along the industrial chain to step up innovation. With policy support and market-driven innovation, China has put in place a relatively complete NEV industrial chain, covering batteries, motors, electronic controls, and vehicle manufacturing and sales. In the past, competition in the sector was mainly about special technologies, but nowadays what matters more is the industrial chain, said Xu Jun. vice-president of Chinese car manufacturer Leapmotor. If China’s new energy carmakers want to benefit from the current momentum (势头), according to Zhu Yifang, they should consolidate their advantages and catch up with their overseas peers in such areas as brand value, technology R&D and global layout. Fu Bingfeng, executive vice-president of the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, called for sustained efforts to improve the development of chips, basic software, key materials and other weak links in the industrial chain. Amid the global wave of electrification and intelligent transformation, China’s carmakers must step up technological innovation and make car manufacturing more digitalized and intelligent, Zhu said. 8. What has accelerated the development of China’s NEV industry over the years? A. Policy support. B. More investment. C. Technological development. D. Fierce competition. 9. What does the underlined word “leveraged” probably mean in paragraph 3? A. Thought highly of. B. Got rid of. C. Made use of. D. Took consideration of. 10. What can we learn concerning the new energy vehicle industry? A. It hasn’t got enough attention in China. B. China falls behind in the global race to electrify cars. C. It is much less competitive than before. D. The focus of the competition has shifted. 11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph of the text? A. China’s NEV industry has by far surpassed the overseas peers. B. There is still a long way for China’s NEV industry to go. C. At present China’s NEV industry has no advantages at all. D. China’s carmakers are supposed to copy their peers to make rapid progress. 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国新能源汽车行业的快速发展，得益于政府政策的支持和产业链的完善，并探讨了未来发展方向和面临的挑战。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第二段中“Zhu Yifang, a researcher with the China Automotive Technology and Research Center Co Ltd, said that policy support has been an “accelerator” for the development of China’ s NEV industry over the years. (国汽车技术研究中心有限公司研究员朱一芳表示，多年来，政策支持一直是中国新能源汽车行业发展的“加速器”)”可知，政策支持加速了中国新能源汽车行业的多年发展。故选A。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“East China’s Anhui province is a typical example. It was among the first provinces to develop NEVs in China, and has long leveraged policy stimulus to promote the growth of the industry. Anhui is now home to carmakers such as Chery and Nio. (中国东部的安徽省就是一个典型的例子。它是中国最早发展新能源汽车的省份之一，长期以来一直leveraged政策刺激来促进该行业的增长。安徽现在是奇瑞和蔚来等汽车制造商的大本营)”可知，安徽省政府利用政策刺激促进了该省新能源汽车产业的发展。leveraged在此处的意思应该是“利用”。A. Thought highly of高度评价；B. Got rid of摆脱；C. Made use of利用；D. Took consideration of考虑。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“In the past, competition in the sector was mainly about special technologies, but nowadays what matters more is the industrial chain, said Xu Jun. vice-president of Chinese car manufacturer Leapmotor. (过去，汽车行业的竞争主要是特殊技术的竞争，但现在更重要的是产业链，中国汽车制造商Leapmotor副总裁徐军说)”可推知，新能源汽车行业竞争的重点已经发生变化，从单一的技术竞争转向了整个产业链的竞争。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Fu Bingfeng, executive vice-president of the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, called for sustained efforts to improve the development of chips, basic software, key materials and other weak links in the industrial chain. Amid the global wave of electrification and intelligent transformation, China’s carmakers must step up technological innovation and make car manufacturing more digitalized and intelligent, Zhu said. (中国汽车工业协会执行副会长付炳锋呼吁持续努力改善芯片、基础软件、关键材料等产业链中薄弱环节。在全球电气化和智能化转型的浪潮中，中国的汽车制造商必须加快技术创新步伐，使汽车制造更加数字化和智能化)”可推知，中国新能源汽车行业还有很长的路要走，需要不断努力改进和创新。故选B。 D There is little, it seems, that people won’t do for their pets. Americans spent $186 bn on them last year, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis, covering everything from food and vet visits to toys and grooming. That is more than they spent on childcare. Catering to pets has become big business. Mars, a company best known for its chocolate bars, made two-thirds of its revenue (收益) last year from pet-care. Besides owning the Royal Canin pet-food brand, the company also operates thousands of vet clinics. Nestlé and Colgate, two other consumer-products giants, also make around a fifth of their revenue from their pet divisions. Spending on pets rocketed through the covid-19 pandemic, as lonely people adopted animals and then gave in to excessive spending on them. Between 2019 and 2023 pet spending grew by a compound annual rate of 11%, in nominal terms, compared with 6% for consumer spending overall and 5% for pet spending over the preceding decade. Plenty more growth is yet to come. Morgan Stanley, a bank, estimates pet spending in America will grow by 2.5% this year, well ahead of estimates for, say, clothes, and forecasts that annual spending will rise to around $260 bn by 2030. And analysts calculate the pet business will soon have a boom again. Behind that is a shift in the relationship between pets and humans. Owners increasingly see themselves as parents, not masters. That change is playing out across generations. “Millennials and Gen Z see their pets differently,” says Kristin Peck, chief executive of Zoetis, a drugmaker for animals. “They really see them as part of their families.” Some 95% of Gen Z owners surveyed last year by the American Pet Products Association, an industry group, said they bought their dog a gift at least once a year, compared with 81% of boomers. The average cost of those gifts was a lavish $44 among Gen Z owners, compared with $17 among boomers. All this is attracting plenty of newcomers to the pet industry. Earlier this month Gilles Andrier, the boss of a Swiss company, said his firm is eyeing the pet-food market. “People spend more money on pets than kids nowadays,” he explained. Best, then, to have a dog in the fight. 12. Why are the three companies mentioned in paragraph 1? A To introduce some pet products. B. To describe a strange phenomenon. C. To provide support for the topic. D. To attract the interest of the readers. 13. What are the attitudes of Millennials and Gen Z to the pets? A. They show no interest in raising pets. B. They share the similar ideas to the older generations. C. They are only willing to spend money on necessities. D. They treat them as members of their families. 14. How does the author support the topic of the text? A. By presenting an experiment. B. By listing the statistic data. C. By giving some definitions. D. By sharing personal viewpoints. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Pet Marketing is Booming. B. Attitudes to Pets Have Changed. C. Raising Pets Is Costly. D. Furry Friends Are Important to People. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了疫情期间宠物经济的快速增长，尤其是年轻人将宠物视为家庭成员的趋势，以及未来宠物市场的巨大潜力。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第一段“There is little, it seems, that people won’t do for their pets.

This is a positive thing if our beliefs serve us in some way — like believing you are a healthy person. But when our beliefs are based on thoughts that do not serve us now or in the future, they become dangerous. Sometimes we tell ourselves subtle lies to feel better. ___16___ 1. I’ll do it ‘one day’. This one is particularly deceptive. One day you will... What? This lie drives me crazy. ___17___ No one even knows how many precious days they have here on planet Earth. Plan it now. Do it now. The present is all we’ve got. 2. If I could just have X, everything would be so much better. The truth is if we are not happy now, we won’t be happy when we get “the prize” — the love interest, the pay raise, the “perfect” body. ___18___ There is no magic “thing” eluding you. The biggest magic you can apply to your life now is appreciation. Appreciation makes everything better and it turns what you have into enough. 3. I’m not ready to do X. No one ever truly feels ready for anything — parenthood, entrepreneurship, change. We just begin. ___19___ If you say you aren’t ready for something, you are either not really interested in doing it or you are procrastinating. Which is it? 4. I’m not good enough. ___20___ You are good enough. You are enough. You do not need to do anything to deserve a full, rich and happy life. A. This is the biggest lie of all. B. Nothing is truly perfect in the world. C. That is how we become ready. D. These lies may offer comfort in the moment, but harm us in the long run. E. Because one day you will wake up and there will be no time left. F. To tell lies is harder than to face a truth that may be painful to accept. G. Remember, many of the things you have now were once wished for. 【答案】16. D 17. E 18. G 19. C 20. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了消极自我暗示对个人发展的负面影响，倡导积极心态与行动。 【16题详解】 由上文“Sometimes we tell ourselves subtle lies to feel better. (有时我们会对自己撒一些微妙的谎言让自己感觉更好)”和下文“I’ll do it ‘one day’. (“总有一天”我会做的)”可知，上文引出对自己撒一些微妙的谎言这件事，下文列举具体的例子，指出这些谎言的害处。空处应起到承上启下的作用，指出这些谎言有害。因此，D选项“These lies may offer comfort in the moment, but harm us in the long run. (这些谎言可能在当下提供安慰，但长远看对我们有害)”承接上文并引出下文实例，符合语境。故选D。 【17题详解】 由上文“I’ll do it ‘one day’. (我总有一天会做这件事)”和下文“No one even knows how many precious days they have here on planet Earth. Plan it now. Do it now. The present is all we’ve got. (甚至没有人知道他们在地球上有多少宝贵的日子。现在就计划。现在就做。现在是我们拥有的一切)”可知，上文引出这一常见的拖延借口。下文进一步强调了这一观点，指出人们往往不知道自己还有多少日子可活，因此应该珍惜现在，立刻采取行动。因此，E选项“Because one day you will wake up and there will be no time left. (因为有一天你会醒来发现已经没有时间了)”警告人们不要推迟行动，能承上启下，符合语境。故选E。 【18题详解】 由上文“If I could just have X, everything would be so much better. (如果我能够拥有X，一切都会好很多)”和下文“There is no magic “thing” eluding you.

(没有什么神奇的“东西”躲不过你。现在你能应用到生活中的最大魔法就是感激。感激会让一切变得更好，它会让你拥有的变得足够)”可知，上文提出“如果我能够拥有X，一切都会好很多”这种谎言，下文则反驳了这种观点，指出幸福不是来自于外在的事物，而是来自于内心的感激，本空应承上启下，强调珍惜现在拥有的东西。因此，G选项“Remember, many of the things you have now were once wished for. (记住，你现在拥有的许多东西曾经是你所渴望的)”提醒读者珍惜眼前人事物，能承上启下，符合语境。故选G。 【19题详解】 由上文“I’m not ready to do X. (我还没准备好做X)”、“We just begin. (我们只要开始)”和下文“If you say you aren’t ready for something, you are either not really interested in doing it or you are procrastinating. Which is it? (如果你说你没有准备好做某事，你不是真的对做这件事不感兴趣，就是你在拖延。是哪一个？)”可知，上文揭示了人们常用来避免行动的借口。下文则指出，实际上没有人会感到完全准备好去面对新的挑战，关键在于开始行动。因此，本空应强调开始才能做好准备，C选项“That is how we become ready. (这就是我们如何做好准备)”承上启下，鼓励读者采取行动而非等待完美时机，符合语境。故选C。 【20题详解】 由上文“I’m not good enough. (我不够好)”和下文“You are good enough. You are enough. You do not need to do anything to deserve a full, rich and happy life. (你已经足够好了。有你就足够了。你不需要做任何事情就能拥有充实、丰富和幸福的生活)”可知，上文体现了许多人内心的自我怀疑。下文则坚定地反驳了这种负面信念，强调每个人都是足够好的，值得过上充实而快乐的生活。因此，本空应否定上文，引出下文的反驳理由。A选项“This is the biggest lie of all. (这是最大的谎言)”直指核心，表明了作者对此类消极自我评价的强烈反对态度，符合语境。故选A。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 In a small town, there lived an old man named Mr. Johnson.

Her days were spent mostly alone, reading books in quiet corners of cafes or taking long walks in the park. She yearned for companionship but her shyness held her back. One day, as she was browsing through a bookstore, she came across an advertisement for a social event at a local community center. The idea of attending such an event filled her with trepidation. She debated with herself for hours, imagining all the possible scenarios that could go wrong. But a small voice inside her urged her to take a chance and break free from her shell. Finally, after much internal struggle, she decided to overcome her shyness and attend. As she walked into the room filled with people, her heart pounded with nervousness. The noise and chatter seemed overwhelming. She found a quiet corner and sat there, observing others. Her hands were fidgety, and she constantly questioned her decision to be there. Suddenly, a friendly woman named Sarah approached her and started a conversation. Lily was hesitant at first but soon found herself engaged in a pleasant chat with Sarah. They discovered they had common interests in books and music. As the evening progressed, Lily began to relax and enjoy the company. She realized that maybe stepping out of her comfort zone wasn’t so bad after all. The event ended with Lily feeling a glimmer of hope and a newfound sense of courage.
