While staying with the Inuit people you will have the chance to ride on a dog sled and travel in a seal — skin boat. The Inuit believe in animal spirits. They usually live in small family groups but have large summer assemblies for feasts and celebrations.

Tour 2 — Aborigine Adventure A trip to Kakado in Australia will include a three — day stay in an Aborigine village. Here you will have the chance to attend Aborigine ceremonies with dining and dancing, based on ancient beliefs. The Aborigines believe that Great Spirits created all the people, animals and plants on Earth. You will get the chance to try some very strange food like snakes! On this trip you will get to learn about their musical instruments and the boomerang, which they use to hunt animals. Tour3 — Mysterious Maoris New Zealand is home to Maoris. They brought with them a culture rich in song, dance and art. The Maori people believe in many gods such as the God of the Forest and the God of the Sea. The Maoris have a traditional meeting house, where you will meet with the Maoris and join with them in dance. And there you will eat food such as fish and sweet potato, which is cooked in leaves steamed over hot stones. You will also get the chance to eat food cooked in underground stoves. 1.

B There may be a thousand ways to say “Happy Birthday!” but the sweetest of all may very well be a special chocolate message that was recently served up by an amazingly thoughtful restaurant staff. Creating congratulations in warm liquid cocoa was nothing new at London’s Luciano by Gino D’Acampo restaurant, but for birthday girl Natalie Te Paa, who is totally blind, the best wishes were spelled out in Braille (布莱叶盲文). What gave the message an even greater meaning was that there was no advance planning involved. When the restaurant crew learned the dinner Te Paa was sharing with friend Claire Sara was a birthday celebration, they took it upon themselves to find and recreate the Braille translation that summed up their best wishes in well-chilled chocolate. Te Paa could barely believe her fingertips as she traced over the raised dots.“My mind was blank for a second and then I was like, ‘Is this in Braille?’”Ta Paa said. “I’ve never had anything happen like that before. It was wild. They just really did go above and beyond. I couldn’t control my tears of joy.” Dinner companion Sara recorded Te Paa’s delighted reaction to what had become a very different kind of surprise party and posted the cheerful footage to TikTok. While restaurant manager Giovanni Galluccio maintains the impromptu (即兴的) gesture was simply part of the customer service they try to extend to all their patrons, clocking in with close to 16 million views to date, the Internet judged the extraordinary act of kindness extra special. As Te Paa said, “The fact that people have responded so much and so well to it just shows how much the world needs kindness right now, how much the world needs a message of hope, needs to see people doing things and going above and beyond for each other.” This is one message sure to melt in your hearts, not in your hands. 4. How did the restaurant staff give the message a great meaning? A. By providing the cake for Te Paa for free. B. By giving the chocolate message well decorated. C. By preparing the cake without any plan in advance. D. By inviting dinner companion Sara ahead of time. 5. How did Te Paa feel after she touched the chocolate cake? A. She felt happy. B. She felt jealous. C. She felt shocked. D. She felt motivated. 6. What did Sara do at the party? A. She thought highly of the restaurant manager. B. She gave Te Paa a big surprise with pose. C. She posted a video in a silent language. D. She put part of the party’s process online. 7. Which word can best replace the underlined word “patrons” in Paragraph 6? A. Messages. B. Customers. C. Praises. D. Ideas. C If you’re stuck in what seems like an endless cycle of procrastination (拖延), guilt and chaos, you might be wondering “Why am I so lazy?”. Despite that common belief, laziness usually isn’t the reason behind procrastination, said Jenny Yip, a clinical psychologist. “Laziness is like, ‘I have absolutely no desire to even think about this.’ Procrastination is, ‘It troubles me to think about this. And therefore, it’s hard for me to get the job done.’ That’s a big difference.” Knowing why you procrastinate and learning how to fight against it are the only ways to change your behavior. Psychologist Sapadin sought to help this self-improvement effort with her book How to Beat Procrastination in the Digital Age. You could be the perfectionist, the dreamer, the worrier or the defier (对抗者) — these are all procrastination styles that Sapadin lists in her book. Both perfectionists and worriers might put off starting tasks due to a fear of failure or criticism. And like a perfectionist, a dreamer might always want something better. As for the defier, they tend to view life in terms of what others expect or require them to do, not what they want. This pessimism weakens their motivation to complete tasks. Procrastination can have practical consequences, such as falling behind at work or failing to achieve personal goals. But there are also emotional or mental impacts. It has been associated with depression, anxiety and stress, poor sleep, inadequate physical activity, loneliness and economic difficulties, according to a January study of more than 3,500 college students. Knowing why you procrastinate can make you self-aware, but you still need strategies to break the habit. In such cases, “consider contacting a professional, like a psychologist, who might be able to help you,” said Shatz, a creator of the website Solving Procrastination. “Visualization (可视化) works,” Shatz added. “If you can imagine Yourself completing a task, then it becomes more achievable simply because you have an idea that it can be done.” At the end of the day, how you approach life is “all about your belief system”. If you believe you can, you can. Whatever you believe, you’re right. 8. What does Jenny Yip mean according to paragraph 1? A. Procrastination keeps people in chaos. B. Procrastination is not a result of laziness. C. Lazy people can’t help thinking about the job. D. Lazy people are often stuck in procrastination. 9. Why is the defier one of the procrastination styles? A. They long for something better. B. They have a fear of failure or criticism. C. They prioritize others’ expectations. D. They have a pessimistic outlook on life. 10. What does the author indicate by mentioning a January study? A. Procrastination has an impact on economics. B. Procrastinstion is connected with mental problems. C. College students have difficulties in achieving goals. D. College students are generally affected by procrastination. 11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Procrastination can be resolved. B. Procrastination is due to self-unawareness. C. Knowing your procrastination relieves it. D. Visualization is ineffective against procrastination. 第二节 七选五(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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Volunteering is a fun and easy way to explore your interests and passions.

One day, when I was on my way to the supermarket, our paths crossed. I was walking past her and overheard her singing a tune.

But when I smiled back, she quickly hurried her pace and went home. She seemed very different to me that day. I refused to trust my neighbors' claims that she had cut herself off from the rest of society because she was insane, so the next day, I knocked on her door. Mrs Davis was home, and instead of letting me in, she just looked at me silently through the window.

Despite that common belief, laziness usually isn’t the reason behind procrastination, said Jenny Yip, a clinical psychologist. “Laziness is like, ‘I have absolutely no desire to even think about this.’ Procrastination is, ‘It troubles me to think about this. And therefore, it’s hard for me to get the job done.’ That’s a big difference.” Knowing why you procrastinate and learning how to fight against it are the only ways to change your behavior. Psychologist Sapadin sought to help this self-improvement effort with her book How to Beat Procrastination in the Digital Age. You could be the perfectionist, the dreamer, the worrier or the defier (对抗者) — these are all procrastination styles that Sapadin lists in her book. Both perfectionists and worriers might put off starting tasks due to a fear of failure or criticism. And like a perfectionist, a dreamer might always want something better. As for the defier, they tend to view life in terms of what others expect or require them to do, not what they want. This pessimism weakens their motivation to complete tasks. Procrastination can have practical consequences, such as falling behind at work or failing to achieve personal goals. But there are also emotional or mental impacts. It has been associated with depression, anxiety and stress, poor sleep, inadequate physical activity, loneliness and economic difficulties, according to a January study of more than 3,500 college students. Knowing why you procrastinate can make you self-aware, but you still need strategies to break the habit. In such cases, “consider contacting a professional, like a psychologist, who might be able to help you,” said Shatz, a creator of the website Solving Procrastination. “Visualization (可视化) works,” Shatz added. “If you can imagine Yourself completing a task, then it becomes more achievable simply because you have an idea that it can be done.” At the end of the day, how you approach life is “all about your belief system”. If you believe you can, you can. Whatever you believe, you’re right. 8. What does Jenny Yip mean according to paragraph 1? A. Procrastination keeps people in chaos. B. Procrastination is not a result of laziness. C. Lazy people can’t help thinking about the job. D. Lazy people are often stuck in procrastination. 9. Why is the defier one of the procrastination styles? A. They long for something better. B. They have a fear of failure or criticism. C. They prioritize others’ expectations. D. They have a pessimistic outlook on life. 10. What does the author indicate by mentioning a January study? A. Procrastination has an impact on economics. B. Procrastinstion is connected with mental problems. C. College students have difficulties in achieving goals. D. College students are generally affected by procrastination. 11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Procrastination can be resolved. B. Procrastination is due to self-unawareness. C. Knowing your procrastination relieves it. D. Visualization is ineffective against procrastination. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了拖延实际上和懒惰是两种不同的概念，它有不同的类型，与心理问题相关，了解这些成因和相关策略才有可能解决拖延的问题。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Despite that common belief, laziness usually isn’t the reason behind procrastination, said Jenny Yip, a clinical psychologist. “Laziness is like, ‘I have absolutely no desire to even think about this.’ Procrastination is, ‘It troubles me to think about this. And therefore, it’s hard for me to get the job done.’ That’s a big difference.” (临床心理学家Jenny Yip说，尽管人们普遍这么认为，但懒惰通常不是拖延症背后原因。“懒惰就像是，‘我根本不想去想这个问题。’拖延是，‘我一想到这个就烦恼。因此，我很难完成这项工作。’这是一个很大的区别。”)”可知，Jenny Yip认为懒惰和拖延是两个不同的概念，拖延不是懒惰的结果。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“As for the defier, they tend to view life in terms of what others expect or require them to do, not what they want. This pessimism weakens their motivation to complete tasks. (至于反抗者，他们倾向于根据别人的期望或要求来看待生活，而不是他们想要什么。这种悲观情绪削弱了他们完成任务的动力)”可知，反抗者优先考虑别人的期望，完成任务的动力被削弱，导致了拖延。故选C项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“But there are also emotional or mental impacts. It has been associated with depression, anxiety and stress, poor sleep, inadequate physical activity, loneliness and economic difficulties, according to a January study of more than 3,500 college students. (但也有情感或心理上的影响。今年1月对3500多名大学生进行的一项研究显示，这和抑郁、焦虑和压力、睡眠不佳、体育锻炼不足、孤独和经济困难有关)”可知，作者先提到拖延会有情感或心理上的影响，然后提到一月的这份研究发现，它与许多心理问题有联系。由此可知，作者提到该研究是想佐证拖延与心理问题有关。故选B项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中““Visualization (可视化) works,” Shatz added. “If you can imagine Yourself completing a task, then it becomes more achievable simply because you have an idea that it can be done.” (“可视化是有效的，”Shatz补充道。“如果你能想象自己完成一项任务，那么它就会变得更容易实现，因为你有一个可以完成的想法。”)”可知，作者通过Shatz的建议来说明，可视化等策略可以有效帮助解决拖延。由此推知，拖延实际上是可以解决的。故选A项。 第二节 七选五(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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Volunteering is a fun and easy way to explore your interests and passions.

She appeared weak and I always wanted to help her, but after hearing what my neighbors had said about her, I wasn't sure whether I should. One day, when I was on my way to the supermarket, our paths crossed. I was walking past her and overheard her singing a tune. It immediately drew my attention because my parents used to sing the same song with me. I began to sing along with her, and she smiled at me for the first time. But when I smiled back, she quickly hurried her pace and went home. She seemed very different to me that day. I refused to trust my neighbors' claims that she had cut herself off from the rest of society because she was insane, so the next day, I knocked on her door. Mrs Davis was home, and instead of letting me in, she just looked at me silently through the window. I noticed her staring at me and was about to walk to the window when she quickly closed the curtains. The next day, I revisited her house. “Hello, I brought you something,” I called out to her. “It's the record of the music you were singing yesterday.” 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。 The door opened and Mrs Davis' eyes widened in surprise at the sight of me standing there. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Several days later in the morning, the doorbell rang at my house. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： The door opened and Mrs Davis’ eyes widened in surprise at the sight of me standing there. I held out the record, “I thought you might enjoy this.” Mrs Davis slowly took it from my hands, staring at it. For a moment, she seemed lost in memories. “Thank you,” she whispered. Then I was invited into her house, feeling a sense of connection blossoming between us. “I used to listen to this song with my husband and daughter. It was their favorite,” she shared stories of her love for music, and the pain of her loss. When I left her house, I offered to hug her, and Mrs Davis’ eyes shone with newfound hope. Several days later in the morning, the doorbell rang at my house. Surprising and delightful, it was Mrs Davis! She stood at our doorstep, holding a tray of freshly baked cookies, her eyes sparkling with warmth, “I wanted to thank you for bringing light to my life.” I replied excitedly, “I’m just more than glad to see you.” Gradually, Mrs Davis no longer cut herself from the world and she became a regular visitor to my house, also finding her way back to the community that cared for her. Sometimes, I realized that all it took was a small act of kindness to break down the barriers of loneliness. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索，主要讲述了作者和家人搬到新社区后，尽管邻居们都很友好，但大家因误解而避开一位上了年纪的名叫Davis的女士，认为她因失去亲人而精神失常，选择孤立自己。作者最初也受此影响犹豫不决，但在偶然听到Davis女士唱起自己熟悉的歌曲后，决定不理会邻里间的传言，主动尝试接触和帮助她，通过送唱片作为交流的契机，作者去拜访了Davis女士。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句“门开了，戴维斯夫人看到我站在那里，惊讶地瞪大了眼睛。”可知，本段可描写作者说明来意后，被邀请到了戴维斯女士家里，他们聊了关于音乐的话题并逐渐熟悉了起来。 ②由第二段首句“几天后的早晨，我家的门铃响了。”可知，本段可描写戴维斯女士为了感谢作者的拜访送来了自己烤的饼干。从那之后，戴维斯女士不再与世隔绝，成为了作者家的常客。 2.续写线索：去送唱片——受到邀请——交流音乐——拥抱——送来饼干——成为常客——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①小声说：whisper/murmur ②拥抱某人：hug sb./give sb. a hug ③照顾：care for //look after 情绪类 ①令人惊讶的：surprising/amazing ②高兴的：glad/pleased/cheerful 【点睛】【高分句型1】When I left her house, I offered to hug her, and Mrs Davis’ eyes shone with newfound hope.（运用了when引导的时间状语） 【高分句型2】Sometimes, I realized that all it took was a small act of kindness to break down the barriers of loneliness.（运用了that引导的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
