My work as an expedition doctor has taken me all over the world, from mosquito-infested wet land in Africa to the untouched wilderness of Antarctica. However, my favourite trips, and the ones in which I now specialize, are those involving mountains. Never do I feel more inspired by nature than when I look up at their towering peaks and begin to prepare myself mentally for the challenges ahead. I trained as a doctor in the UK, but there was little in that training to prepare me to deal with a broken leg during a storm on the side of a mountain! In fact, I’d say that medical skills come some way down the list of job requirements, after stamina (耐力), problem-solving and communication. This kind of medicine million miles away from the controlled, clean environment of a hospital, and your medical kit basically consists of whatever you can carry, so you sometimes have to use whatever is available. For example, I’ve learned that some drugs can be used for several conditions, and I’ve even had to cut branches off a small tree to make a piece of wood to support a broken arm. Now I do most of my work for adventure holiday companies, travelling to remote places. When I started out, these holidays were quite rare，but they have become much more mainstream now that we’ve all seen celebrities climbing Kilimanjaro or watched reality shows about people exploring jungles. I do have mixed feelings about all these people with large amounts of income coming to poor areas just for their own enjoyment, so I try to make sure that the companies I work for have high moral standards and bring advantages to the local communities. And of course, tourism provides employment, and also opens the eyes of visitors to the hardship that many people are forced to go through. 21. What made the author choose his career? A. His love of nature. B. His desire for adventure. C. His talent for medicine. D. His sense of responsibility. 22. What is the biggest challenge for the author during the trips? A. Reducing potential risks. B. Surviving in the wild. C. Adapting to local customs. D. Dealing with emergencies. 23. According to the author, the companies he now works for should . A. satisfy tourists and make profits B. offer tourists challenges and security C. benefit local people as well as tourists D. build tourists’ mental and physical well-being B The rise of the robots has raised the possibility of a future where there is simply less work for humans to do. To exhausted office workers, a world where we all have a bit more leisure time sounds rather nice. Yet what really matters is not just the total amount of human labour that will be needed in future. It is how that work will be distributed (分布) across the workforce. If the recent past is anything to go by, there is no reason to believe it will be evenly spread. The length of the average working week in the UK has declined steadily from about 59 hours in the mid-19th century to 32 hours in 2009. But averages hide a lot. While trends among women have been stable, there have been big shifts among men. Males in well-paid full-time employment, earning 2. 5 times the median wage, are now working slightly longer hours on average than two decades ago, according to the Resolution Foundation, a think-tank. At the same time, men in full-time employment at the bottom of the wage ladder are working quite a lot less. On top of that, the number of low-paid men who work part-time has mushroomed. Twenty years ago, one in 20 men aged 25 to 55 with low hourly wages worked part-time; today it is one in five. Analysis by the Institute for Fiscal Studies, another think-tank, shows this phenomenon is only happening among the low-paid. In better- paying jobs, part-time men are still fairly rare. Gender roles within families might be converging (趋同) too. Low-paid men may be choosing to shoulder more childcare responsibilities so their partners can return to work. Yet it is clear that the distribution of work still matters to people. Britain has an underemployment problem and an over employment problem at the same time: official data show 3. 4m people want to work more hours while 3. 2m want to work fewer hours for less pay. The underemployed are most likely to be waiters or cleaners. The over employed are most likely to be doctors or chief executives. This hints at an economy where the demand and supply of skills are out of sync. Nobody knows for sure how the next wave of automation will shake up demand for different skills. Perhaps doctors will gain the free time they crave. Others might find themselves in greater demand. But short of us developing a much better system for training people quickly for the jobs the economy needs, it seems likely that in the future - as now - there will be too much work for some, and too little for others. 24. What can be learned from the first two paragraphs? A. The widespread of robots will replace humans’ work. B. UK has taken some steps to stop the decline of working hours. C The averages may not be accurate indicators of what has happened. D Future leisure time will be distributed unevenly across the workforce. 25. The phrase “out of sync” is closest in meaning to ________. A. important B. undoubted C. harmful D. imbalanced 26. In order to make the work distribution more even, we should ________. A. establish a better training system B. develop the automatic equipment C. adapt to new working environment D. create more employment opportunities 27. Which of the following best summarizes the text? A. The total amount of human labour will be decreased. B. Better training systems will be built across the world. C. Robots will drive us to rethink how work is distributed. D. The rise of robots will promote gender equality in employment. C The aggressive spread of market economics and communication technologies—often under the control of Western multinational companies—brings new challenges to local cultures and values in non-Western societies. Sometimes it seems as if a tidal wave of the worst Western culture is creeping across the globe like a giant strawberry milkshake spill oat and over the planet, with a flavor that is distinctly sweet, sickly and apparently homogeneous (同质的). For some, especially the young, change may mean escape from oppressive traditions. It may also bring new opportunities for cultures to be combined in creative ways. However, there is genuine cause for concern about the rate at which cultures are being worn away in such a globalized world. Perhaps by far the most important far-reaching effect of cultural globalization is the commercialization of culture, which has a disturbing impact on local people’s existing values. They are increasingly bombarded with new images, new music, new clothes and new values. The familiar and old are to be abandoned. While there was cultural change long before globalization, there is a danger that much will be lost simply because it is not valued by global markets. In West Africa for example, traditional values have been overtaken by Coca-Cola culture which the local people don’t yet have the values to deal with successfully. Another common aspect of the globalized culture is that it pursues (追求) the same “one size fits all” American ideal. The result of this cultural process of homogenization is that a large section of the world’s population dreams of living like Cosby & Co. or like the characters in any other stereotype American soap opera. In addition, the dream of living a better life causes thousands of people to move to already overcrowded cities whose population has boomed by millions within the last decades. The majority of these new immigrants end up in slums leading to poverty, pollution and misery. Such gradual aggression against people’s existing values and cultures has a destructive impact on their sense of who they are, what they want and what they respect. It attacks spiritual values and faith traditions. The accumulative (累积的) effect in non-Western societies is a crisis of cultural confidence, combined with the increased economic uncertainty and crime which global integration (一体化) may bring. This creates real problems for social stability» whether it is at the level of nation, community or family. In conclusion, cultural globalization, or worldwide McDonaldization, destroys diversity and displaces the opportunity to sustain decent life through a mixture of many different cultures. It is more a consequence of power concentration in the global media and manufacturing companies than the people’s own wish to abandon their cultural identity and diversity. 28. It can be learned from Paragraph 1 that ______. A. non-Western societies willingly accept economic globalization B. Western culture unites the world、economies and technologies C. the booming of Western culture destroys non-Western societies D. despite its appeal, westernization shows an unpleasant uniformity 29. Which best serves as an example of the “one size fits all” principle in non-Western nations? A. McDonald receives more criticism abroad than at home. B. Many Africans dream of a middle class American lifestyle. C. Chinese food wins great approval in the United Kingdom. D. Some western young people fancy a visit to African countries, 30. What is the writer’s attitude towards cultural globalization? A. Cautious. B. Critical. C. Positive. D. Neutral. 31. The passage is mainly about _______. A. cultural diversity in globalization B. challenges to non-Western cultures C. drawbacks of cultural globalization D. disappearance of non-Western cultures 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。 Digital Medicine Could the next suggestion from your doctor be downloading an app? Collectively known as digital medicine, a large number of apps in use or under development can now detect or monitor mental and physical disorders or directly administer therapies. ___32___ Many detection aids rely on mobile devices to record such features as users’ voices, locations, facial expressions, exercise and sleep; then they apply artificial intelligence to mark the possible change of a condition. Some smart watches, for instance, contain a sensor that automatically detects and warns people of a dangerous heart rate. ___33___ These wearable detection aids will not replace a doctor any time soon but can be helpful partners in stressing concerns that need follow-up. ___34___ Some are being developed to detect things such as cancerous DNA, stomach bleeds, body temperature and oxygen levels. The sensors inside your body can then send the data to apps for recording. ___35___ For the most part, those intended to diagnose or treat disorders must be proved safe and effective in clinical trials and earn regulatory approval; some may need a doctor’s permission. Clearly, society must move into the future of digital medicine with care — ensuring that the apps go through strict testing, protect privacy and go smoothly into doctors’ work. With such protections in place, healthcare costs could be saved by marking unhealthy behaviours and helping people to make changes before diseases set in. ___36___ For researchers, the patterns that emerge will provide them with novel ideas for how best to build healthier habits and prevent diseases. A. For doctors, applying AI to the data from these apps could help them personalize patient care. B. These data also help doctors detect diseases and help patients change their behaviors. C. Other similar tools can detect breathing disorders, depression and other conditions. D. They can both help diagnose symptoms and enhance traditional medical care. E. Detection aids can also take the form of eatable and sensor-bearing pills. F. Digital medicine has been widely used in all aspects of life nowadays. G. Not all healthcare apps can be used as digital medicine. 第四部分：基础知识（共2节，共21分） 第一节 单词拼写（请用一、二单元学过的单词完成，每题1分，共11分） 37.

For some, it may be the accumulation of wealth, while for others, it could mean achieving career milestones or academic excellence. There are also those who see success as leading a happy life, having a harmonious family, or maintaining good relationships with others. Therefore, success does not have a universal standard; its definition varies from person to person. However, despite the various interpretations of success, certain qualities and approaches are shared by those who succeed. One key trait is perseverance. Achieving any significant accomplishment requires time and error. Many successful people stand out not because they never faced setbacks, but because they did not give up when faced with difficulties. For example, 1homas Edison, the famous inventor, encountered thousands of failures before finally inventing the light bulb. Had he not possessed the spirit of perseverance, the invention of the light bulb might have been late for many years. Another crucial factor is setting clear goals since a well-defined goal provides direction and helps people stay focused on their pursuits. Psychological studies have shown a strong correlation between goal setting and the feeling of achievement. When people establish specific realistic goals and work diligently towards them, their chances of success greatly increase. For instance, athletes who aim to improve their performance by setting small, achievable targets often experience greater progress than those who only dream of winning big competitions without a clear plan. In addition, continuous learning and adaptability play essential roles in achieving success. The modern world is developing rapidly, with new knowledge and technologies emerging constantly. Only those who keep learning and updating their skills can stay competitive in such a fast-paced environment. Take the example of successful entrepreneurs: many of them attribute their achievements to their ability to learn from mistakes and adapt to changing market demands. While hard work, goal setting, and lifelong learning are significant, it is also important to admit the role of luck in success. Sometimes, being in the right place at the right time can open doors that were otherwise closed. However, luck alone is not enough; it must be combined with preparation and effort to truly make a difference. In conclusion, success is a multifaceted concept influenced by a variety of factors. While the definition of success may differ from one person to another, perseverance, clear goal setting, and continuous learning are universally acknowledged as essential traits for achieving it. By embracing these principles and remaining open to change, anyone can increase their chances of reaching their version of success. 53. Why is setting clear goals a crucial factor for success? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 54. According to the passage, which essential elements are universally acknowledged to achieve success?(List two) ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 55. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. > Many successful entrepreneurs who can stay competitive in such a fast-paced environment think their achievements are a result of their perseverance. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 56. Do you agree with the statement “Luck plays a role in success”? Why or why not? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 第二节 书面表达 （共15分） 57. 假设你是红星中学高二（1）班班长李华，学校正开展以“成功”为主题的主题班会，你班想邀请国际部交换生Chris来参加班会，请用英语给他写一封邮件，内容包括： 1. 班会时间和地点； 2. 内容和活动安排。 注意：1. 词数100左右； 2. 开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Chris, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 北京一零一中2024-2025学年度第一学期期中考试 高 二 英 语 第一部分：听力理解（共三节，共20分） 第一节 听下面4段对话，每段对话后有一道小题，从每题所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。每段对话你将听一遍。（每题1分，共14分） 1.

My work as an expedition doctor has taken me all over the world, from mosquito-infested wet land in Africa to the untouched wilderness of Antarctica. However, my favourite trips, and the ones in which I now specialize, are those involving mountains. Never do I feel more inspired by nature than when I look up at their towering peaks and begin to prepare myself mentally for the challenges ahead. I trained as a doctor in the UK, but there was little in that training to prepare me to deal with a broken leg during a storm on the side of a mountain! In fact, I’d say that medical skills come some way down the list of job requirements, after stamina (耐力), problem-solving and communication. This kind of medicine million miles away from the controlled, clean environment of a hospital, and your medical kit basically consists of whatever you can carry, so you sometimes have to use whatever is available. For example, I’ve learned that some drugs can be used for several conditions, and I’ve even had to cut branches off a small tree to make a piece of wood to support a broken arm. Now I do most of my work for adventure holiday companies, travelling to remote places. When I started out, these holidays were quite rare，but they have become much more mainstream now that we’ve all seen celebrities climbing Kilimanjaro or watched reality shows about people exploring jungles. I do have mixed feelings about all these people with large amounts of income coming to poor areas just for their own enjoyment, so I try to make sure that the companies I work for have high moral standards and bring advantages to the local communities. And of course, tourism provides employment, and also opens the eyes of visitors to the hardship that many people are forced to go through. 21. What made the author choose his career? A. His love of nature. B. His desire for adventure. C. His talent for medicine. D. His sense of responsibility. 22. What is the biggest challenge for the author during the trips? A Reducing potential risks. B. Surviving in the wild. C. Adapting to local customs. D. Dealing with emergencies. 23. According to the author, the companies he now works for should . A. satisfy tourists and make profits B. offer tourists challenges and security C. benefit local people as well as tourists D. build tourists’ mental and physical well-being 【答案】21. B 22. D 23. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。短文叙述了作者的职业经历。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Ever since I was a young boy, I’ve had a taste for adventure, but I never imagined this would lead to my chosen career.”（从我还是个小男孩开始，我就喜欢冒险，但我从未想过这会导致我选择的职业。）可知，对冒险的渴望使得作者选择了他的职业。故选B项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“I trained as a doctor in the UK, but there was little in that training to prepare me to deal with a broken leg during a storm on the side of a mountain! In fact, I’d say that medical skills come some way down the list of job requirements, after stamina (耐力), problem-solving and communication.”（我曾在英国接受过医生培训，但在那次培训中，我几乎没有做什么准备，以应对在山边暴风雨中折断的腿！事实上，我想说的是，医疗技能在工作要求列表中排在了耐力、解决问题和沟通之后）根据第四段“This kind of medicine million miles away from the controlled, clean environment of a hospital, and your medical kit basically consists of whatever you can carry, so you sometimes have to use whatever is available.”（这种药物远离医院可控的，干净的环境，你的医疗包基本上包括你能携带的任何东西，所以你有时不得不使用任何可用的东西。）可知，作者在旅行中面临的最大挑战是处理紧急情况。故选D项。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“so I try to make sure that the companies I work for have high moral standards and bring advantages to the local communities. And of course, tourism provides employment, and also opens the eyes of visitors to the hardship that many people are forced to go through.”（所以我努力确保我工作的公司具有高道德标准，并为当地社区带来优势。当然，旅游业提供了就业机会，也让游客看到了许多人被迫经历的艰难）可知，根据作者的说法，他现在供职的公司应该会让当地人和游客受益。故选C项。 B The rise of the robots has raised the possibility of a future where there is simply less work for humans to do. To exhausted office workers, a world where we all have a bit more leisure time sounds rather nice. Yet what really matters is not just the total amount of human labour that will be needed in future. It is how that work will be distributed (分布) across the workforce. If the recent past is anything to go by, there is no reason to believe it will be evenly spread. The length of the average working week in the UK has declined steadily from about 59 hours in the mid-19th century to 32 hours in 2009. But averages hide a lot. While trends among women have been stable, there have been big shifts among men. Males in well-paid full-time employment, earning 2. 5 times the median wage, are now working slightly longer hours on average than two decades ago, according to the Resolution Foundation, a think-tank. At the same time, men in full-time employment at the bottom of the wage ladder are working quite a lot less. On top of that, the number of low-paid men who work part-time has mushroomed. Twenty years ago, one in 20 men aged 25 to 55 with low hourly wages worked part-time; today it is one in five. Analysis by the Institute for Fiscal Studies, another think-tank, shows this phenomenon is only happening among the low-paid. In better- paying jobs, part-time men are still fairly rare. Gender roles within families might be converging (趋同) too. Low-paid men may be choosing to shoulder more childcare responsibilities so their partners can return to work. Yet it is clear that the distribution of work still matters to people. Britain has an underemployment problem and an over employment problem at the same time: official data show 3. 4m people want to work more hours while 3. 2m want to work fewer hours for less pay. The underemployed are most likely to be waiters or cleaners. The over employed are most likely to be doctors or chief executives. This hints at an economy where the demand and supply of skills are out of sync. Nobody knows for sure how the next wave of automation will shake up demand for different skills. Perhaps doctors will gain the free time they crave. Others might find themselves in greater demand. But short of us developing a much better system for training people quickly for the jobs the economy needs, it seems likely that in the future - as now - there will be too much work for some, and too little for others. 24. What can be learned from the first two paragraphs? A. The widespread of robots will replace humans’ work. B. UK has taken some steps to stop the decline of working hours. C. The averages may not be accurate indicators of what has happened. D. Future leisure time will be distributed unevenly across the workforce. 25. The phrase “out of sync” is closest in meaning to ________. A. important B. undoubted C. harmful D. imbalanced 26. In order to make the work distribution more even, we should ________. A. establish a better training system B. develop the automatic equipment C. adapt to new working environment D. create more employment opportunities 27. Which of the following best summarizes the text? A. The total amount of human labour will be decreased. B. Better training systems will be built across the world. C. Robots will drive us to rethink how work is distributed. D. The rise of robots will promote gender equality in employment. 【答案】24. C 25. D 26. A 27. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍机器人可能会导致劳动力分布不均。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段的“The length of the average working week in the UK has declined steadily from about 59 hours in the mid-19th century to 32 hours in 2009. But averages hide a lot. (英国每周平均工作时间从19世纪中期的59小时稳步下降到2009年的32小时。但平均值隐藏了很多东西)”推知，平均值可能不是工作时间稳步下降的准确指标。故选C。 【25题详解】 词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段的“Britain has an underemployment problem and an over employment problem at the same time: official data show 3. 4m people want to work more hours while 3. 2m want to work fewer hours for less pay. The underemployed are most likely to be waiters or cleaners. The over employed are most likely to be doctors or chief executives. (英国同时存在就业不足和过度就业的问题：官方数据显示，有340万人希望工作更多小时，而有320万人希望工作更少小时以换取更少的薪水。就业不足的人最有可能是服务员或清洁工。而过度就业的人最有可能是医生或首席执行官。)”可知，英国存在过度就业和就业不足的问题，即就业不平衡。由此推知，导致这种结果的原因是经济中技能的需求和供给不平衡。故猜测out of sync意为“不平衡”。故选D。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“But short of us developing a much better system for training people quickly for the jobs the economy needs, it seems likely that in the future - as now - there will be too much work for some, and too little for others. (但是，除非我们开发出一个更好的系统，以便快速培训人们从事经济所需的工作，否则在未来，就像现在一样，一些人可能会有太多的工作要做，而另一些人则可能工作太少。)”可知，为了更均匀地分配工作，我们应该建立一个更好的培训体系。故选A。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文并结合第一段“The rise of the robots has raised the possibility of a future where there is simply less work for humans to do. To exhausted office workers, a world where we all have a bit more leisure time sounds rather nice. Yet what really matters is not just the total amount of human labour that will be needed in future. It is how that work will be distributed (分布) across the workforce. (机器人的兴起使得未来人类工作减少的可能性增加。对于疲惫不堪的上班族来说，一个我们都能拥有更多空闲时间的世界听起来相当不错。然而，真正重要的不仅仅是未来所需的人类劳动总量，而是这些工作将如何在劳动力中分配。)”和最后一段的“But short of us developing a much better system for training people quickly for the jobs economy needs, it seems likely that in the future - as now - there will be too much work for some, and too little for others.(但是，如果我们不能开发出一套更好的体系，快速培训人们适应经济需求，那么未来很可能——就像现在一样——有些人的工作太多，而另一些人的工作太少。)”可知，文章主要讲述了机器人的兴起将改变人们的工作方式，需要重新思考工作分配的问题。故选C。 C The aggressive spread of market economics and communication technologies—often under the control of Western multinational companies—brings new challenges to local cultures and values in non-Western societies. Sometimes it seems as if a tidal wave of the worst Western culture is creeping across the globe like a giant strawberry milkshake spill oat and over the planet, with a flavor that is distinctly sweet, sickly and apparently homogeneous (同质的). For some, especially the young, change may mean escape from oppressive traditions. It may also bring new opportunities for cultures to be combined in creative ways. However, there is genuine cause for concern about the rate at which cultures are being worn away in such a globalized world. Perhaps by far the most important far-reaching effect of cultural globalization is the commercialization of culture, which has a disturbing impact on local people’s existing values. They are increasingly bombarded with new images, new music, new clothes and new values. The familiar and old are to be abandoned. While there was cultural change long before globalization, there is a danger that much will be lost simply because it is not valued by global markets. In West Africa for example, traditional values have been overtaken by Coca-Cola culture which the local people don’t yet have the values to deal with successfully. Another common aspect of the globalized culture is that it pursues (追求) the same “one size fits all” American ideal. The result of this cultural process of homogenization is that a large section of the world’s population dreams of living like Cosby & Co. or like the characters in any other stereotype American soap opera. In addition, the dream of living a better life causes thousands of people to move to already overcrowded cities whose population has boomed by millions within the last decades. The majority of these new immigrants end up in slums leading to poverty, pollution and misery. Such gradual aggression against people’s existing values and cultures has a destructive impact on their sense of who they are, what they want and what they respect. It attacks spiritual values and faith traditions. The accumulative (累积的) effect in non-Western societies is a crisis of cultural confidence, combined with the increased economic uncertainty and crime which global integration (一体化) may bring. This creates real problems for social stability» whether it is at the level of nation, community or family. In conclusion, cultural globalization, or worldwide McDonaldization, destroys diversity and displaces the opportunity to sustain decent life through a mixture of many different cultures. It is more a consequence of power concentration in the global media and manufacturing companies than the people’s own wish to abandon their cultural identity and diversity. 28. It can be learned from Paragraph 1 that ______. A. non-Western societies willingly accept economic globalization B. Western culture unites the world、economies and technologies C. the booming of Western culture destroys non-Western societies D. despite its appeal, westernization shows an unpleasant uniformity 29. Which best serves as an example of the “one size fits all” principle in non-Western nations? A. McDonald receives more criticism abroad than at home. B. Many Africans dream of a middle class American lifestyle. C. Chinese food wins great approval in the United Kingdom. D. Some western young people fancy a visit to African countries, 30. What is the writer’s attitude towards cultural globalization? A. Cautious. B. Critical. C. Positive. D. Neutral. 31. The passage is mainly about _______. A. cultural diversity in globalization B. challenges to non-Western cultures C. drawbacks of cultural globalization D. disappearance of non-Western cultures 【答案】28. D 29. B 30. B 31. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述文化全球化的缺点和种种消极影响。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“The aggressive spread of market economics and communication technologies—often under the control of Western multinational companies—brings new challenges to local cultures and values in non-Western societies. Sometimes it seems as if a tidal wave of the worst Western culture is creeping across the globe like a giant strawberry milkshake spill oat and over the planet, with a flavor that is distinctly sweet, sickly and apparently homogeneous (同质的). (市场经济和通信技术的侵略拓展——往往在西方跨国公司的控制之下——给非西方社会的当地文化和价值观带来了新的挑战。有时，似乎最糟糕的西方文化的浪潮正在全球蔓延，就像一个巨大的草莓奶昔溢出燕麦，遍及地球，味道明显甜美，甜得发腻和明显同质化。)”可知，西方化给非西方社会的当地文化和价值观带来了新的挑战，但它既有明显的甜美，也有病态和同质的特征。由此可知西方化尽管受欢迎，很吸引人，同时也令人不快。故选D。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“The result of this cultural process of homogenization is that a large section of the world’s population dreams of living like Cosby & Co. or like the characters in any other stereotype American soap opera. In addition, the dream of living a better life causes thousands of people to move to already overcrowded cities whose population has boomed by millions within the last decades. (这种同质化文化过程的结果是，世界上很大一部分人梦想着像科斯比公司那样的生活，或者像任何其他刻板印象的美国肥皂剧中的角色一样生活。此外，过上更好生活的梦想导致成千上万的人搬到已经人满为患的城市，这些城市的人口在过去几十年中激增了数百万。)”可知，在非西方国家，世界上很大一部分人梦想着像科斯比公司那样生活，或者像其他刻板印象的美国肥皂剧里的人物一样，过着更好的，富足的生活，这些最能体现“一刀切”原则。故推知许多非洲人梦想着美国中产阶级的生活方式体现“一刀切”原则。故选B。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“However, there is genuine cause for concern about the rate at which cultures are being worn away in such a globalized world. (然而在这样一个全球化的世界里，文化正在被损坏的速度，确实值得关注。)”及第三段“Perhaps by far the most important far-reaching effect of cultural globalization is the commercialization of culture, which has a disturbing impact on local people’s existing values. (也许到目前为止，文化全球化最重要的深远影响是文化的商业化，这对当地人民现有的价值观产生了令人不安的影响。)”及第四段“The majority of these new immigrants end up in slums leading to poverty, pollution and misery. (这些新移民中的大多数最终都生活在贫民窟，导致贫困、污染和苦难。)”及第五段“Such gradual aggression against people’s existing values and cultures has a destructive impact on their sense of who they are, what they want and what they respect. It attacks spiritual values and faith traditions. (这种对人们现有价值观和文化的逐渐侵略对他们的自我意识、他们想要的和他们尊重的东西有破坏性的影响。它攻击精神价值和信仰传统。)”及最后一段“In conclusion, cultural globalization, or worldwide McDonaldization, destroys diversity and displaces the opportunity to sustain decent life through a mixture of many different cultures. (总之，文化全球化或全球麦当劳化破坏多样性，并取代了通过许多不同文化的混合来维持体面生活的机会。)”可知，作者认为文化全球化损坏文化、导致贫困、污染和苦难、攻击精神价值和信仰传统。以上观点表明作者对文化全球化表示担忧和批判，故选B。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“In conclusion, cultural globalization, or worldwide McDonaldization, destroys diversity and displaces the opportunity to sustain decent life through a mixture of many different cultures. It is more a consequence of power concentration in the global media and manufacturing companies than the people’s own wish to abandon their cultural identity and diversity. (总之，文化全球化或全球麦当劳化破坏了多样性，并取代了通过许多不同文化的混合来维持体面生活的机会。这与其说是人民自己放弃其文化认同和多样性的愿望，不如说是权力集中在全球媒体和制造公司的结果。)”可知，文章主要讲述了文化全球化的缺点和种种消极影响。故选C。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。 Digital Medicine Could the next suggestion from your doctor be downloading an app? Collectively known as digital medicine, a large number of apps in use or under development can now detect or monitor mental and physical disorders or directly administer therapies. ___32___ Many detection aids rely on mobile devices to record such features as users’ voices, locations, facial expressions, exercise and sleep; then they apply artificial intelligence to mark the possible change of a condition. Some smart watches, for instance, contain a sensor that automatically detects and warns people of a dangerous heart rate. ___33___ These wearable detection aids will not replace a doctor any time soon but can be helpful partners in stressing concerns that need follow-up. ___34___ Some are being developed to detect things such as cancerous DNA, stomach bleeds, body temperature and oxygen levels. The sensors inside your body can then send the data to apps for recording. ___35___ For the most part, those intended to diagnose or treat disorders must be proved safe and effective in clinical trials and earn regulatory approval; some may need a doctor’s permission. Clearly, society must move into the future of digital medicine with care — ensuring that the apps go through strict testing, protect privacy and go smoothly into doctors’ work. With such protections in place, healthcare costs could be saved by marking unhealthy behaviours and helping people to make changes before diseases set in. ___36___ For researchers, the patterns that emerge will provide them with novel ideas for how best to build healthier habits and prevent diseases. A. For doctors, applying AI to the data from these apps could help them personalize patient care. B. These data also help doctors detect diseases and help patients change their behaviors. C. Other similar tools can detect breathing disorders, depression and other conditions. D. They can both help diagnose symptoms and enhance traditional medical care. E. Detection aids can also take the form of eatable and sensor-bearing pills. F. Digital medicine has been widely used in all aspects of life nowadays. G. Not all healthcare apps can be used as digital medicine. 【答案】32. D 33. C 34. E 35. G 36. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了数字医疗的概念、具体的检测辅助设备的功能、发展中面临的限制以及未来可能带来的好处。 【32题详解】 前文“Collectively known as digital medicine, a large number of apps in use or under development can now detect or monitor mental and physical disorders or directly administer therapies.

For some, it may be the accumulation of wealth, while for others, it could mean achieving career milestones or academic excellence. There are also those who see success as leading a happy life, having a harmonious family, or maintaining good relationships with others. Therefore, success does not have a universal standard; its definition varies from person to person. However, despite the various interpretations of success, certain qualities and approaches are shared by those who succeed. One key trait is perseverance. Achieving any significant accomplishment requires time and error. Many successful people stand out not because they never faced setbacks, but because they did not give up when faced with difficulties. For example, 1homas Edison, the famous inventor, encountered thousands of failures before finally inventing the light bulb. Had he not possessed the spirit of perseverance, the invention of the light bulb might have been late for many years. Another crucial factor is setting clear goals since a well-defined goal provides direction and helps people stay focused on their pursuits. Psychological studies have shown a strong correlation between goal setting and the feeling of achievement. When people establish specific, realistic goals and work diligently towards them, their chances of success greatly increase. For instance, athletes who aim to improve their performance by setting small, achievable targets often experience greater progress than those who only dream of winning big competitions without a clear plan. In addition, continuous learning and adaptability play essential roles in achieving success. The modern world is developing rapidly, with new knowledge and technologies emerging constantly. Only those who keep learning and updating their skills can stay competitive in such a fast-paced environment. Take the example of successful entrepreneurs: many of them attribute their achievements to their ability to learn from mistakes and adapt to changing market demands. While hard work, goal setting, and lifelong learning are significant, it is also important to admit the role of luck in success. Sometimes, being in the right place at the right time can open doors that were otherwise closed. However, luck alone is not enough; it must be combined with preparation and effort to truly make a difference. In conclusion, success is a multifaceted concept influenced by a variety of factors. While the definition of success may differ from one person to another, perseverance, clear goal setting, and continuous learning are universally acknowledged as essential traits for achieving it. By embracing these principles and remaining open to change, anyone can increase their chances of reaching their version of success. 53. Why is setting clear goals a crucial factor for success? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 54. According to the passage, which essential elements are universally acknowledged to achieve success?(List two) ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 55. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. > Many successful entrepreneurs who can stay competitive in such a fast-paced environment think their achievements are a result of their perseverance. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 56. Do you agree with the statement “Luck plays a role in success”? Why or why not? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】53. Because a well-defined goal provides direction and helps people stay focused on their pursuits. 54. Perseverance and clear goal setting./Continuous learning and perseverance./Clear goal setting and continuous learning. 55. Many successful entrepreneurs who can stay competitive in such a fast-paced environment think their achievements are a result of their perseverance. Because many successful entrepreneurs attribute their achievements to their ability to learn from mistakes and adapt to changing market demands, rather than to their perseverance. 56. No, I don’t agree. Because I believe that success is mainly determined by one’s own efforts, abilities, and perseverance. Although luck may play a role in some cases, it is not the decisive factor. Success requires hard work, clear goal setting, continuous learning, and adaptability. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了成功的概念及其实现路径，指出成功对于不同人有不同的意义，但成功者通常具备一些共同的品质和做法，如坚持不懈、设定明确目标、持续学习和适应变化等。 【53题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第三段中“Another crucial factor is setting clear goals since a well-defined goal provides direction and helps people stay focused on their pursuits.(另一个关键因素是设定明确的目标，因为明确的目标可以提供方向，并帮助人们专注于自己的追求)”可知，设定明确的目标对于成功至关重要，因为它为人们提供了方向，并帮助他们专注于自己的追求。故答案为：Because a well-defined goal provides direction and helps people stay focused on their pursuits. 【54题详解】 考查细节理解。根据最后一段中“While the definition of success may differ from one person to another, perseverance, clear goal setting, and continuous learning are universally acknowledged as essential traits for achieving it.(虽然成功的定义可能因人而异，但坚持不懈、设定明确的目标和持续学习是被普遍认为是实现成功所必需的品质)”可知，普遍公认的实现成功的关键要素包括坚持不懈、设定明确的目标和持续学习，任一两种组合皆可。故答案为：Perseverance and clear goal setting./Continuous learning and perseverance./Clear goal setting and continuous learning. 【55题详解】 考查推理判断。根据第四段中“Take the example of successful entrepreneurs: many of them attribute their achievements to their ability to learn from mistakes and adapt to changing market demands.(以成功的企业家为例：他们中的许多人将他们的成就归因于他们从错误中学习并适应不断变化的市场需求的能力)”可知，许多成功的企业家将他们的成就归因于从错误中学习并适应市场需求的能力，而不是坚持不懈。因此，句中“perseverance”这一部分是错误的，应划线，因为许多成功的企业家将他们的成就归功于他们从错误中学习和适应不断变化的市场需求的能力，而不是他们的毅力。 故答案为：Many successful entrepreneurs who can stay competitive in such a fast-paced environment think their achievements are a result of their perseverance. Because many successful entrepreneurs attribute their achievements to their ability to learn from mistakes and adapt to changing market demands, rather than to their perseverance. 【56题详解】 考查开放性问题。例如：我不赞同“运气在成功中起作用”这一说法。因为我相信成功主要是由一个人自己的努力、能力和毅力决定的。虽然运气在某些情况下可能起作用，但它不是决定性因素。成功需要努力工作、明确目标、不断学习和适应能力。故答案为： No, I don’t agree. Because I believe that success is mainly determined by one’s own efforts, abilities, and perseverance. Although luck may play a role in some cases, it is not the decisive factor. Success requires hard work, clear goal setting, continuous learning, and adaptability. 第二节 书面表达 （共15分） 57. 假设你是红星中学高二（1）班班长李华，学校正开展以“成功”为主题的主题班会，你班想邀请国际部交换生Chris来参加班会，请用英语给他写一封邮件，内容包括： 1. 班会时间和地点； 2. 内容和活动安排。 注意：1. 词数100左右； 2. 开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Chris, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Chris, How are you doing?
