(·在抵达前8天或更早取消：您需要支付的费用包括7.25美元的预订费和7.25美元的取消费)”可知，在入住之前9天取消需要支付7.25美元的预订费和7.25美元的取消费；所以一共支付14.5美元。故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章General Rules and Information “·Check Out: Campers must leave their sites no later than 11 a.m. on the day of leaving. (·退房：营员必须在离开当天上午11点之前离开营地)”可知，营员必须在离开当天上午11点之前离开营地。故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章Camper Assistance Programme (CAP)中 “·Checking facilities. (检查设备)”可知，志愿者必须检查设备。故选D。 B While other artists might use watercolors or oil paints, Mbongeni Buthelezi uses waste plastics to create portraits (肖像) at his studio in Booysens, Johannesburg. His medium is the plastie litter he collects from local rubbish dumps and city streets. “Animals are dying and fish in the ocean are dying—because of this material. It is we humans that need to take responsibility,” said the 56-year-old artist. Over the past three decades, Buthelezi has been using his works to both highlight and address the issue. Buthelezi’s use of waste wasn’t always in defense of the environment. He first began using plastic litter because he couldn’t afford expensive oil paints while studying at the college. Then, he developed a unique technique of using an electric heat gun that produced hot air to melt the plastic. According to Buthelezi, this is more environmentally friendly than using flames to melt plastic and doesn’t release noxious smoke and gases into the atmosphere. His artistic process involves melting down pieces of plastic onto a thick plastic background, often in more than one layer (层) to create complex textures and color combinations. He calls the process simple and random, but believes that the final pieces speak for themselves. “I’m interested in finding the details in the painting, but also see the whole story as you view it from afar,” he says. Buthelezi also uses his art as a vehicle to tell important stories about South Africa and the difficulties of life in South Africa’s townships. In 2010, online magazine Live Out Loud said his art “reflects humanity’s often harmful impact on the environment, but his original use of waste objects to picture an often forgotten group of people truly sets him apart”. His paintings have been exhibited in South Africa, as well as Germany, the US, and Holland, for years. 4. Why did Buthelezi originally use waste plastics for his art? A. To reduce the cost of creating art. B. To draw attention to plastic pollution. C. To make his works eye-catching. D. To develop his own artistic style. 5. How does Buthelezi create his artworks on a thick plastic surface? A. He applies brightly painted plastic. B. He combines plastic with watercolors. C. He layers the melted pieces of waste plastic. D. He uses glue to stick the plastic litter together. 6. What can be inferred about Buthelezi’s works? A. They cover limited subjects. B. They have been well received. C. They sold not well at home and abroad. D. They are less expressive of poor people’s life. 7. In which column of the newspaper can we probably read the passage? A. Health. B. Sports. C. Science. D. People. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了南非约翰内斯堡的艺术家Mbongeni Buthelezi以废弃塑料为创作媒介进行肖像创作的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“He first began using plastic litter because he couldn’t afford expensive oil paints while studying at the college. (他最初开始使用塑料垃圾是因为他在大学学习期间买不起昂贵的油画颜料。)”可知，Buthelezi 最初使用废弃塑料进行艺术创作是因为他在大学学习时买不起昂贵的油画颜料，也就是为了降低创作艺术的成本，故选A项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“His artistic process involves melting down pieces of plastic onto a thick plastic background, often in more than one layer (层) to create complex textures and color combinations. (他的艺术创作过程包括将塑料片熔化到厚厚的塑料背景上，通常不止一层以创建复杂的纹理和颜色组合。)”可知，Buthelezi是将融化的废弃塑料片分层放置在厚厚的塑料背景上以创造出复杂的纹理和色彩组合，从而创作他的艺术作品，故选C项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“His paintings have been exhibited in South Africa, as well as Germany, the US, and Holland, for years. (他的画作已在南非以及德国、美国和荷兰展出多年。)”可知，他的画作多年来在南非、德国、美国和荷兰等地展出，这说明他的作品受到了广泛的认可，即被人们很好地接受了，故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。文章主要讲述了艺术家Mbongeni Buthelezi使用废弃塑料创作艺术作品的相关情况，包括他创作的原因、过程以及作品所传达的内容等，是关于一个人的艺术创作经历的介绍，所以最有可能在报纸的“人物”专栏读到这篇文章，故选D项。 C Many people ask this question, “Why is body language so important?” Studies have shown that in the process of communication, non-verbal (非语言的) expression has 65% to 93% more influence than actual words. This means that “how to say” is more important than “what to say”: Of course, this does not mean that you don’t need to make preparations for your interviews and nor does it mean that you can take any shortcuts. On the contrary, this means that you have more things to pay attention to and prepare for. In the real workplace, body language is much more important than you think. Without proper body language, you may find yourself trapped in a circle where you can’t integrate (融合) with the external environment, not to mention the difficulties in the absence of body language in the workplace. “People can often make inferences from actions, and the results of these inferences directly affect lives: for example, who will be employed and who will be promoted.” Academician Amy Cuddy said in a TV talk show. She also said that “our body language will also affect our perception of ourselves. When you try to make more authoritative actions, your brain will unconsciously receive signals and actually create an idea that you are more authoritative, so that you have more confidence in yourself”. Therefore, before interviews or important meetings, try not to lean on any object or have your back bent forward. Instead, you should try to keep your body upright. You can even stand straight with a relatively authoritative posture. Of course, you may need to do these things in the bathroom or places where no one could see you. So, as a green hand, every time you are nervous or feel that you can’t do it, stretch your body, smile, and tell yourself, “Fake it till you become it!” 8. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 1 refer to? A. Your words have a greater effect than the way you express yourself. B. The way you express yourself has a greater effect than your words. C. You should pay much attention to the beginning of communication. D. You should attach importance to the process of communication. 9. How can improper body language affect people according to the second paragraph? A. They may not be accepted as a member of a social group. B. They may make others completely understand them. C. They may make a smaller achievement in their career. D. They may not have much control over their feelings. 10. From what angle did Amy Cuddy present her views in Paragraph 3? A. Medicine. B. Philosophy. C. Psychology. D. History. 11. Why does the author suggest people not lean on any object? A. To demonstrate they show respect to others. B. To prove they are in good physical condition. C. To indicate they tend to be friendly to others. D. To show they have trust in themselves. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章介绍了身体语言在工作场合的重要性。 【8题详解】 词义猜测题。this通常指代前文提到的内容。根据文章第一段画线前“Studies have shown that in the process of communication, non-verbal (非语言的) expression has 65% to 93% more influence than actual words. This means that “how to say” is more important than ‘what to say’. (研究表明，在交际过程中，非语言表达比实际言语的影响力高出65% ~ 93%。这意味着“怎么说”比“说什么”更重要)”可知“怎么说”比“说什么”更重要。可推知，this指代的是“你表达自己的方式比你说的话更重要”。即“怎么说必说什么重要”并不意味着你不需要为面试做准备，也不意味着你可以走捷径。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Without proper body language, you may find yourself trapped in a circle where you can’t integrate (融合) with the external environment, not to mention the difficulties in the absence of body language in the workplace. (没有适当的肢体语言，你可能会发现自己被困在一个无法融入外部环境的圈子里，更不用说在工作场所没有肢体语言的困难了)”可知，没有合适的肢体语言，他们可能不会被一个社会群体所接受，无法融入这个群体或者圈子。故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“ ‘People can often make inferences from actions, and the results of these inferences directly affect lives: for example, who will be employed and who will be promoted.’ Academician Amy Cuddy said in a TV talk show. She also said that ‘our body language will also affect our perception of ourselves. When you try to make more authoritative actions, your brain will unconsciously receive signals and actually create an idea that you are more authoritative, so that you have more confidence in yourself’. (“人们经常可以从行为中做出推断，而这些推断的结果直接影响到生活：例如，谁将被雇用，谁将被提升。”院士艾米·卡迪在一档电视谈话节目中说道。她还说：“我们的肢体语言也会影响我们对自己的看法。当你试图做出更权威的行为时，你的大脑会无意识地接收到信号，并产生一种你更权威的想法，这样你就会对自己更有信心。”)”可知，Amy Cuddy从心理学的角度陈述了她的观点。故选C。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“When you try to make more authoritative actions, your brain will unconsciously receive signals and actually create an idea that you are more authoritative, so that you have more confidence in yourself. (当你试图做出更权威的行为时，你的大脑会无意识地接收到信号，并实际上产生一种你更权威的想法，这样你就对自己更有信心了)”以及第四段“Therefore, before interviews or important meetings, try not to lean on any object or have your back bent forward. Instead, you should try to keep your body upright. (因此，在面试或重要会议之前，尽量不要靠在任何物体上，也不要弯腰。相反，你应该尽量保持身体直立)”可知，作者建议人们不要倚靠物品是为了表明他们对自己有信心。故选D。 D Recent developments in robotics, artificial intelligence, and machine learning have brought us in the eye of the storm of a new automation age. About half of the work carried out by people was likely to be automated by 2055 with adaption to technology, a McKinsey Global Institute report predicted. Automation can enable businesses to improve performance by reducing errors and improving quality and speed, and in some cases achieving outcomes that go beyond human capabilities. At a time of weak productivity growth worldwide, automation technologies can provide the much-needed promotion of economic growth, according to the report. Automation could raise productivity growth globally by 0.8 percent to 1.4 percent. At a global level, technically automated activities involved 1.1 billion employees and 11.9 trillion U.S. dollars in wages, the report said. The report also showed that activities most influenced by automation were physical ones in highly structured and predictable environments, as well as data collection and processing. In the United States, these activities make up 51 percent of activities in the economy, accounting for almost 2.7 trillion dollars in wages. They are most common in production, accommodation and food service, and the retail (零售) trade. And it’s not just low-skill, low-wage work that is likely to be influenced by automation; middle-skill and high-paying, high-skill occupations, too, have a degree of automation potential. The robots and computers not only can perform a range of routine physical work activities better and more cheaply than humans, but are also increasingly capable of accomplishing activities that require cognitive (认知的) capabilities, such as feeling emotions or driving. While much of the current debate about automation has focused on the potential that many people may be replaced and therefore lose their financial resources, the analysis shows that humans will still be needed: The total productivity gains will only come about if people work alongside machines. 12. What is the report mainly about? A. Comparisons of robots from different countries. B. Analysis of automation’s potential in economy. C. Prediction of the unemployment problem. D. Explanations of the concept of artificial intelligence. 13. What might happen in 2055 according to the text? A. Automation will cause weak productivity growth. B. Automation will reduce employees’wages. C. Activities like data collection and processing will disappear. D. Activities involving feeling emotions can be performed by robots. 14. How does the author feel about human workers? A. Worried. B. Mixed. C. Optimistic. D. Doubtful. 15. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. Automation: A future replacement for humans? B. Robots: A challenge to all humans? C. Retail trade: Where to go from here? D. Automation: Who is the eventual winner? 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了机器人技术、人工智能和机器学习的最新发展使我们进入新自动化时代这一背景下自动化是否会在未来取代人类。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“About half of the work carried out by people was likely to be automated by 2055 with adaption to technology, a McKinsey Global Institute report predicted. (麦肯锡全球研究所的一份报告预测，到2055年，随着技术的适应，人们所做的大约一半的工作可能会实现自动化。)”以及第三段中“The report also showed that activities most influenced by automation were physical ones in highly structured and predictable environments, as well as data collection and processing. In the United States, these activities make up 51 percent of activities in the economy, accounting for almost 2.7 trillion dollars in wages. They are most common in production, accommodation and food service, and the retail (零售) trade. And it’s not just low-skill, low-wage work that is likely to be influenced by automation; middle-skill and high-paying, high-skill occupations, too, have a degree of automation potential. (报告还显示，受自动化影响最大的活动是高度结构化和可预测环境中的体力活动，以及数据收集和处理。在美国，这些活动占经济活动的51%，占近2.7万亿美元的工资。它们在生产、住宿和食品服务以及零售业中最常见。受自动化影响的不仅仅是低技能、低工资的工作；中等技能和高薪、高技能职业也有一定程度的自动化潜力)”可知，报告主要是关于自动化在经济中的潜力分析，故选B项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The robots and computers not only can perform a range of routine physical work activities better and more cheaply than humans, but are also increasingly capable of accomplishing activities that require cognitive (认知的) capabilities, such as feeling emotions or driving. (机器人和计算机不仅能比人类更好、更廉价地执行一系列日常体力工作活动，而且也越来越有能力完成需要认知能力的活动，比如感知情绪或驾驶。)”可知，到2055年，像感受情绪这样的活动机器人也能够完成，故选D项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“While much of the current debate about automation has focused on the potential that many people may be replaced and therefore lose their financial resources, the analysis shows that humans will still be needed: The total productivity gains will only come about if people work alongside machines. (虽然当前关于自动化的大部分争论都集中在许多人可能被取代并因此失去财务资源的可能性上，但分析表明，人类仍然是必需的：只有当人们与机器一起工作时，总生产力的提高才会实现。)”可知，作者对人类工人的前景是持乐观态度的，故选C项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Recent developments in robotics, artificial intelligence, and machine learning have brought us in the eye of the storm of a new automation age. About half of the work carried out by people was likely to be automated by 2055 with adaption to technology, a McKinsey Global Institute report predicted. (机器人技术、人工智能和机器学习的最新发展使我们处于新自动化时代的风暴中心。麦肯锡全球研究所的一份报告预测，到2055年，随着技术的适应，人们所做的大约一半的工作可能会实现自动化。)”及最后一段“While much of the current debate about automation has focused on the potential that many people may be replaced and therefore lose their financial resources, the analysis shows that humans will still be needed: The total productivity gains will only come about if people work alongside machines. (虽然当前关于自动化的大部分争论都集中在许多人可能被取代并因此失去财务资源的可能性上，但分析表明，人类仍然是必需的：只有当人们与机器一起工作时，总生产力的提高才会实现。)”可知，文章主要介绍了机器人技术、人工智能和机器学习的最新发展使我们进入新自动化时代这一背景下自动化是否会在未来取代人类，A项“Automation: A future replacement for humans? (自动化：人类的未来替代品？)”最能概括全文，故选A项。 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。 Making good eye contact is a surprisingly difficult yet important part of good communication skills.

If you want to improve your ability to look people in the eye, you can practice making eye contact on your own to give the right impression in conversations. (良好的眼神交流是良好沟通技巧中非常困难却又重要的一部分。如果你想提高与人对视的能力，你可以自己练习眼神交流，以便在对话中给人留下正确的印象。)”可知，本空要说跟“练习眼神交流的好处”有关的话题，E选项“Doing so can make you a better listener and a more effective speaker. (这样做可以让你成为一个更好的倾听者和更有效的演讲者。)”承接上文，是上文的结果，且引出下文讲述的如何进行眼神交流，其中的doing so指的是空前的“Making good eye contact”。故选E项。 【17题详解】 根据本段主题句“Try to relax as much as possible.(尽量放松。)”可知，本段建议尽量放松，结合空后的“Your nervousness can then be misinterpreted as dishonesty.(你的紧张可能会被误解为不诚实。)”可知，此处讲述的内容是对该空进行进一步阐述，也就是说，此空讲述的内容与感到紧张相关，C选项“The more you think about what you’re doing, the more awkward you’ll feel.(你越想自己在做什么，你就会觉得越尴尬。)”中的“more awkward”与空后的“nervousness”意义相关，符合语境。故选C项。 【18题详解】 结合本段的主题句“Focus on one eye.(专注一只眼睛。)”可知，本段建议眼神交流时关注一只眼睛，A选项“It’s actually physically somewhat difficult to keep your eyes locked on both of another person’s eyes.(实际上，从生理上讲，你很难盯着另一个人的两只眼睛。)”讲述的内容与本段的主题句内容一致，是对主题句的内容进一步解释，且空后的“It’s more common to focus on one, or on a spot on the face, rather than trying to look at both eyes at once.(更常见的做法是盯着一只眼睛，或者盯着脸上的某个地方，而不是同时盯着两只眼睛。)”讲述的内容是对该选项的进一步阐述，符合语境。故选A项。 【19题详解】 根据空前的“Break your gaze (凝视) to make other gestures while listening. (在倾听的时候，把目光移开，做出其他手势。)”可知，本空应谈论与“把目光移开，做出其他手势”有关的话题， F选项“It’s good to break eye contact when you’re laughing, or to nod and smile. (当你笑的时候，或者点头微笑的时候，移开视线是好的。)”讲述的内容承接上文，符合语境，该选项中的“break eye contact”与上文“Break your gaze”相呼应。故选F项。 【20题详解】 分析语篇可知，此处为本段的主题句，结合其它段落的主题句可知，该空为祈使句，根据空后的“It’s one thing to look while you’re listening. But it’s more difficult to keep eye contact while you’re also trying to say something. Don’t be afraid if you have to break your gaze occasionally, but try to keep your face and eyes forward and up as you’re talking.(一边听一边看是一回事。但当你想说点什么的时候，保持眼神交流就比较困难了。如果你不得不偶尔打断你的目光，不要害怕，但在你说话的时候，试着让你的脸和眼睛向前和向上。)”可知，本段讲述的是在说话和倾听时都要尽量保持眼神专注，G选项“Try to keep your eyes focused while you talk as well as listen.(当你说话和听的时候，尽量让你的眼睛集中。)”为祈使句，且讲述的内容与本段内容一致。故选G项。 第三部分：语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Bai Peilan is the Chinese name of Flora Botton Beja.

Among her hobbies, flying kites was her favorite. It was more than just a fun activity—it was a special time she shared with her grandfather, who had always been a central figure in her life. On her sixteenth birthday, Emma’s grandfather gave her a gift that she would always treasure: a bright red kite with a long, colorful tail. The moment Emma saw it, she was filled with joy. This kite was special not only because it was beautiful, but because it came from her grandfather, with whom she had spent many wonderful afternoons in the park, flying kites and making happy memories. One sunny afternoon, Emma decided to fly the kite by herself. The sky was clear, with a gentle breeze (微风) -perfect for flying. As the kite soared higher and higher into the sky, Emma felt a sense of freedom and excitement. The kite danced gracefully in the wind, and she couldn’t help but smile as she guided it. However, just as Emma was lost in the joy of the moment, a strong wind suddenly caught the kite and pulled it out of her hands. Emma watched in shock as the kite was swept away, flying farther and farther into the distance. She ran after it, but it was too late. The kite was gone. Emma felt a deep sense of loss, not just because she had lost the kite, but because it represented the special bond she had with her grandfather. In the days that followed, Emma couldn’t shake the sadness that hung over her. The park, which had always been a place of joy and laughter, now seemed quiet and empty. Each time she visited, she was reminded of the red kite and the precious moments she had shared with her grandfather. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 One sunny day, Emma’s grandfather invited her to take a walk in the park. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Emma quickly took the new kite and started to fly it. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 One sunny day, Emma’s grandfather invited her to take a walk in the park. He noticed her sadness and wanted to cheer her up. As they strolled on the familiar path, he listened patiently as Emma shared her feelings about the lost kite. After listening and offering comforting words, he surprised her by pulling out a new kite from his bag. It was not red this time, but blue, like the sky above. Emma was touched by his thoughtfulness and realized that the memories they shared were what truly mattered, not the physical object. Emma quickly took the new kite and started to fly it. As the kite rose higher, she felt a renewed sense of joy and connection. She laughed as the kite danced in the wind, feeling her grandfather’s presence beside her. The park once again filled with laughter and happiness as her grandfather taught her new tricks and techniques, deepening their bond. Emma learned that while things might be lost, the love and memories shared with her grandfather were never truly gone.  【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。艾玛是个活泼的女孩，喜欢放风筝，这是她与祖父共度的特殊时光。祖父送她的红色风筝在一次放飞时被风吹走，让她深感失落，公园也因此变得寂静，让她回想起与祖父的美好时光。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“一个阳光明媚的日子，艾玛的爷爷邀请她去公园散步。”可知，第一段可以描写二人散步时的交流和爷爷赠送艾玛新的风筝。 ②由第二段句首内容“艾玛很快拿起新风筝，开始放飞它。”可知，第二段可以描写艾玛放风筝的情形和感受。 2.续写线索：公园散步——分享感受——得到新风筝——开始放飞——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①使某人高兴起来：cheer sb. up/ delight sb. ②感动：touch/ move ③意识到：realize/ be aware of 情绪类 ①悲伤：sadness/ sorrow ②高兴：joy/pleasure 【点睛】【高分句型1】After listening and offering comforting words, he surprised her by pulling out a new kite from his bag.( 运用了动名词listening和offering作宾语) 【高分句型2】Emma was touched by his thoughtfulness and realized that the memories they shared were what truly mattered, not the physical object.

B While other artists might use watercolors or oil paints, Mbongeni Buthelezi uses waste plastics to create portraits (肖像) at his studio in Booysens, Johannesburg. His medium is the plastie litter he collects from local rubbish dumps and city streets. “Animals are dying and fish in the ocean are dying—because of this material. It is we humans that need to take responsibility,” said the 56-year-old artist. Over the past three decades, Buthelezi has been using his works to both highlight and address the issue. Buthelezi’s use of waste wasn’t always in defense of the environment. He first began using plastic litter because he couldn’t afford expensive oil paints while studying at the college. Then, he developed a unique technique of using an electric heat gun that produced hot air to melt the plastic. According to Buthelezi, this is more environmentally friendly than using flames to melt plastic and doesn’t release noxious smoke and gases into the atmosphere. His artistic process involves melting down pieces of plastic onto a thick plastic background, often in more than one layer (层) to create complex textures and color combinations. He calls the process simple and random, but believes that the final pieces speak for themselves. “I’m interested in finding the details in the painting, but also see the whole story as you view it from afar,” he says. Buthelezi also uses his art as a vehicle to tell important stories about South Africa and the difficulties of life in South Africa’s townships. In 2010, online magazine Live Out Loud said his art “reflects humanity’s often harmful impact on the environment, but his original use of waste objects to picture an often forgotten group of people truly sets him apart”. His paintings have been exhibited in South Africa, as well as Germany, the US, and Holland, for years. 4. Why did Buthelezi originally use waste plastics for his art? A. To reduce the cost of creating art. B. To draw attention to plastic pollution. C. To make his works eye-catching. D. To develop his own artistic style. 5. How does Buthelezi create his artworks on a thick plastic surface? A. He applies brightly painted plastic. B. He combines plastic with watercolors. C. He layers the melted pieces of waste plastic. D. He uses glue to stick the plastic litter together. 6. What can be inferred about Buthelezi’s works? A. They cover limited subjects. B. They have been well received. C. They sold not well at home and abroad. D. They are less expressive of poor people’s life. 7. In which column of the newspaper can we probably read the passage? A. Health. B. Sports. C. Science. D. People. C Many people ask this question, “Why is body language so important?” Studies have shown that in the process of communication, non-verbal (非语言的) expression has 65% to 93% more influence than actual words. This means that “how to say” is more important than “what to say”: Of course, this does not mean that you don’t need to make preparations for your interviews and nor does it mean that you can take any shortcuts. On the contrary, this means that you have more things to pay attention to and prepare for. In the real workplace, body language is much more important than you think. Without proper body language, you may find yourself trapped in a circle where you can’t integrate (融合) with the external environment, not to mention the difficulties in the absence of body language in the workplace. “People can often make inferences from actions, and the results of these inferences directly affect lives: for example, who will be employed and who will be promoted.” Academician Amy Cuddy said in a TV talk show. She also said that “our body language will also affect our perception of ourselves. When you try to make more authoritative actions, your brain will unconsciously receive signals and actually create an idea that you are more authoritative, so that you have more confidence in yourself”. Therefore, before interviews or important meetings, try not to lean on any object or have your back bent forward. Instead, you should try to keep your body upright. You can even stand straight with a relatively authoritative posture. Of course, you may need to do these things in the bathroom or places where no one could see you. So, as a green hand, every time you are nervous or feel that you can’t do it, stretch your body, smile, and tell yourself, “Fake it till you become it!” 8. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 1 refer to? A. Your words have a greater effect than the way you express yourself. B.

D Recent developments in robotics, artificial intelligence, and machine learning have brought us in the eye of the storm of a new automation age. About half of the work carried out by people was likely to be automated by 2055 with adaption to technology, a McKinsey Global Institute report predicted. Automation can enable businesses to improve performance by reducing errors and improving quality and speed, and in some cases achieving outcomes that go beyond human capabilities. At a time of weak productivity growth worldwide, automation technologies can provide the much-needed promotion of economic growth, according to the report. Automation could raise productivity growth globally by 0.8 percent to 1.4 percent. At a global level, technically automated activities involved 1.1 billion employees and 11.9 trillion U.S. dollars in wages, the report said. The report also showed that activities most influenced by automation were physical ones in highly structured and predictable environments, as well as data collection and processing. In the United States, these activities make up 51 percent of activities in the economy, accounting for almost 2.7 trillion dollars in wages. They are most common in production, accommodation and food service, and the retail (零售) trade. And it’s not just low-skill, low-wage work that is likely to be influenced by automation; middle-skill and high-paying, high-skill occupations, too, have a degree of automation potential. The robots and computers not only can perform a range of routine physical work activities better and more cheaply than humans, but are also increasingly capable of accomplishing activities that require cognitive (认知的) capabilities, such as feeling emotions or driving. While much of the current debate about automation has focused on the potential that many people may be replaced and therefore lose their financial resources, the analysis shows that humans will still be needed: The total productivity gains will only come about if people work alongside machines. 12. What is the report mainly about? A. Comparisons of robots from different countries. B. Analysis of automation’s potential in economy. C. Prediction of the unemployment problem. D. Explanations of the concept of artificial intelligence. 13. What might happen in 2055 according to the text? A. Automation will cause weak productivity growth. B. Automation will reduce employees’wages. C. Activities like data collection and processing will disappear. D. Activities involving feeling emotions can be performed by robots. 14. How does the author feel about human workers? A. Worried. B. Mixed. C. Optimistic. D. Doubtful. 15. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. Automation: A future replacement for humans? B. Robots: A challenge to all humans? C. Retail trade: Where to go from here? D. Automation: Who is the eventual winner? 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。 Making good eye contact is a surprisingly difficult yet important part of good communication skills.

Among her hobbies, flying kites was her favorite. It was more than just a fun activity—it was a special time she shared with her grandfather, who had always been a central figure in her life. On her sixteenth birthday, Emma’s grandfather gave her a gift that she would always treasure: a bright red kite with a long, colorful tail. The moment Emma saw it, she was filled with joy. This kite was special not only because it was beautiful, but because it came from her grandfather, with whom she had spent many wonderful afternoons in the park, flying kites and making happy memories. One sunny afternoon, Emma decided to fly the kite by herself. The sky was clear, with a gentle breeze (微风) -perfect for flying. As the kite soared higher and higher into the sky, Emma felt a sense of freedom and excitement. The kite danced gracefully in the wind, and she couldn’t help but smile as she guided it. However, just as Emma was lost in the joy of the moment, a strong wind suddenly caught the kite and pulled it out of her hands. Emma watched in shock as the kite was swept away, flying farther and farther into the distance. She ran after it, but it was too late. The kite was gone. Emma felt a deep sense of loss, not just because she had lost the kite, but because it represented the special bond she had with her grandfather. In the days that followed, Emma couldn’t shake the sadness that hung over her. The park, which had always been a place of joy and laughter, now seemed quiet and empty. Each time she visited, she was reminded of the red kite and the precious moments she had shared with her grandfather. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 One sunny day, Emma’s grandfather invited her to take a walk in the park. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Emma quickly took the new kite and started to fly it. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力 1—5 BACAB 6—10 CBCBA 11—15 CBACA 16—20 BCABC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
