During their visit, the conversation turned to complaints about stress in their work and lives. Offering his guests hot chocolate, the professor went into the kitchen and returned with a large pot of hot chocolate and other things including cups-porcelain (瓷杯子), glass, crystal (水晶杯), some plain looking, some expensive, some elegant - - telling them to help themselves to the hot chocolate. When they all had a cup of hot chocolate in hand, the professor said: “I notice that all the nice looking and expensive cups were taken, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress. The cup that you’ re drinking from adds nothing to the quality of the hot chocolate. In most cases it is just more expensive, and in some cases even hides what we drink. What all of you really wanted was hot chocolate, not the cup; but you consciously went for the best cups... And then you began eyeing each other’s cups. Now consider this: Life is the hot chocolate; your job, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain life. The cup you have does not define, nor change the quality of life you have. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the hot chocolate we have. The happiest people don’t have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything that they have. Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Thank the Lord for your blessings in 2024. And enjoy your hot chocolate in 2025!” 41. When did they decide to go to see their professor? A. After the reunion. B. Before they graduated. C. During the get-together. D. Just after the professor retired. 42. Why did the professor offer them different cups? A. Because cups were not enough for everyone. B. Because cups were beautiful. C. Because hot chocolate should be contained in different cups. D. Because the professor wanted to teach them something. 43. What caused the professor to say those words? A. Their complaints. B. Their reunion. C. Their visit. D. Their graduation. 44. What does the word “cup” in this passage refer to? A. hot chocolate B. happy things in life C. tools to hold and contain life D. Life 45. What is the purpose of the professor’s words? A. To tell them life is not easy, so try their best to be happy. B. To educate them that the happiest people don’t have the best of everything. C.

They will, in a lifetime, push the chrome-plated contraptions many miles. But few will know — or even think to ask — who it was that invented them. Sylvan N. Goldman invented the shopping cart in 1937. At that time, he was in the supermarket business. Every day he would see shoppers lugging (吃力地携带) groceries around in baskets they had to carry. One day Goldman suddenly had the idea of putting baskets on wheels. The wheeled baskets would make shopping much easier for his customers, and would help to attract more business. On June 4,1937, Goldman’s first carts were ready for use in his market. He was terribly excited on the morning of that day as customers began arriving. He couldn’t wait to see them using his invention. But Goldman was disappointed. Most shoppers give the carts a long look, but hardly anybody would give them a try. After a while, Goldman decided to ask customers why they weren’t using his carts. “Don’t you think this arm is strong enough to carry a shopping basket?” one shopper replied. But Goldman wasn’t beaten yet. He knew his carts would be a great success if only he could persuade people to give them a try. To this end, Goldman hired a group of people to push carts around his market and pretend they were shopping! Seeing this, the real customers gradually began copying the phony (假冒的) customers. As Goldman had hoped, the carts were soon attracting larger and larger numbers of customers to his market. But not only did more people come — those who came bought more. With larger, easier-to-handle baskets, customers unconsciously bought a greater number of items than before. Today’s shopping carts are five times larger than Goldman’s original model. Perhaps that’s one reason Americans today spend more than five times as much money on food each year as they did before 1937 — before the coming of the shopping cart. 51. The underlined words “chrome-plated contraptions” in Paragraph 1 refer to ____________ .( No more than 3 words) 52. What was the purpose of Goldman’s invention? ( No more than 10 words) ________________________________________________________________________ 53. Why was Goldman disappointed at first? ( No more than 10 words) ________________________________________________________________________ 54. How did Goldman persuade people to give shopping carts a try? ( No more than 20 words) ________________________________________________________________________ 55. What do you think of Goldman? Please give your reasons. ( No more than 20 words) ________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】51. Shopping carts 52. It was to make shopping easier and attract more business. 53. Because few customers used his carts. 54. By hiring a group of people to push carts around his market to pretend to be shopping. 55. He was a smart businessman. He invented the shopping cart and made it accepted by customers. Or: He was smart but he shouldn’t have used tricks to attract customers. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了与美国人生活息息相关的购物手推车的发明。Sylvan N. Goldman在1937年发明了购物手推车。作为生意人的Sylvan N. Goldman认为购物手推车让顾客更容易购物，并有助于吸引更多的生意。经过推广和改进，购物车购物方式已经深入到人们的生活中。 【51题详解】 考查词义猜测。分析可知，“the”表示特指，第二次提及，因此结合语境可知，划线“the chrome-plate contraptions”应是指前文““a part of his or her life behind a shopping cart(在购物车后面的他或她生活的一部分)”中的“a shopping cart(购物手推车) ”，与划线短语在名词复数上保持一致，应是复数形式。故答案为：Shopping carts. 【52题详解】 考查细节理解。根据文章第三段内容“One day Goldman suddenly had the idea of putting baskets on wheels. The wheeled baskets would make shopping much easier for his customers, and would help to attract more business.(有一天，Goldman突然有了把篮子装在轮子上的想法。带轮子的购物篮会让他的顾客更容易购物，并有助于吸引更多的生意)”可知，他的想法是给购物篮装上轮子，这样做的目的是让顾客更容易购物，并有助于吸引更多的生意。故答案为：It was to make shopping easier and attract more business. 【53题详解】 考查细节理解。根据文章第五段内容“Most shoppers gave the carts a long look, but hardly anybody would give them a try.(大多数购物者都花了很长时间看这些手推车，但几乎没有人愿意试一试)”可知，大部分人只是长时间看了手推车，并没有人尝试使用，这应是他起初感到失望的原因。故答案为：Because few customers used his carts. 54题详解】 考查细节理解。根据文章第七段内容“He knew his carts would be a great success if only he could persuade people to give them a try. To this end, Goldman hired a group of people to push carts around his market and pretend they were shopping!(他知道，只要他能说服人们试一试，他的大车就会大获成功。为此，Goldman雇了一群人推着手推车绕着他的市场转，假装他们在购物！)”可知，他雇了一群人在他的市场里推着手推车假装在购物，从而说服人们尝试使用购物车。故答案为：By hiring a group of people to push carts around his market to pretend to be shopping.。 【55题详解】 考查推理判断。根据文章第二段末尾内容“Every day he would see shoppers lugging groceries around in baskets they had to carry.(每天，他都会看到购物者用篮子拖着食品杂货四处走动)”以及第三段内容“One day Goldman suddenly had the idea of putting baskets on wheels. The wheeled baskets would make shopping much easier for his customers, and would help to attract more business.(有一天，Goldman突然有了把篮子装在轮子上的想法。带轮子的购物篮会让他的顾客更容易购物，并有助于吸引更多的生意)”可知，Goldman通过观察顾客购物的行为想到有轮子的购物篮可以方便购物，而且可以吸引更多的生意，说明他是一个聪明的生意人，且文章第七段提及“To this end, Goldman hired a group of people to push carts around his market and pretend they were shopping! Seeing this, the real customers gradually began copying the phony customers.(为此，Goldman雇佣了一群人在他的市场上推着手推车，假装他们在购物!看到这一点，真正的客户逐渐开始模仿假冒客户。)”他通过“推广宣传”购物车使得真正的顾客开始使用并接受购物车购物的方式。同样可以说明他是一个聪明的生意人。故答案为：He was a smart businessman. He invented the shopping cart and made it accepted by customers. Or: He was smart but he shouldn’t have used tricks to attract customers. 第二节：书面表达(满分20分) 56. 假设你是晨光中学学生会主席李华，得知美国学生 John作为交换生，下学期将到你校学习。 请你根据以下提示，给他写封邮件： (1)表示欢迎； (2)简单介绍学校、老师和本班情况； (3)希望 John做哪些事情，以增进中美学生之间的了解和友谊。 注意：1.请勿提及与考生相关的真实信息。 2.可适当加入细节，使内容充实，行文连贯。 3.词数不少于100； 4.参考词汇： 交换生 exchange student Dear John, _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours sincerely, Li Hua 【答案】Dear John, I’m Li Hua, the president of our school’s Student Union.

During their visit, the conversation turned to complaints about stress in their work and lives. Offering his guests hot chocolate, the professor went into the kitchen and returned with a large pot of hot chocolate and other things including cups-porcelain (瓷杯子), glass, crystal (水晶杯), some plain looking, some expensive, some elegant - - telling them to help themselves to the hot chocolate. When they all had a cup of hot chocolate in hand, the professor said: “I notice that all the nice looking and expensive cups were taken, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress. The cup that you’ re drinking from adds nothing to the quality of the hot chocolate. In most cases it is just more expensive, and in some cases even hides what we drink. What all of you really wanted was hot chocolate, not the cup; but you consciously went for the best cups... And then you began eyeing each other’s cups. Now consider this: Life is the hot chocolate; your job, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain life. The cup you have does not define, nor change the quality of life you have. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the hot chocolate we have. The happiest people don’t have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything that they have. Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Thank the Lord for your blessings in 2024. And enjoy your hot chocolate in 2025!” 41. When did they decide to go to see their professor? A. After the reunion. B. Before they graduated. C.

Their reunion. C. Their visit. D. Their graduation. 44. What does the word “cup” in this passage refer to? A. hot chocolate B. happy things in life C. tools to hold and contain life D. Life 45. What is the purpose of the professor’s words? A. To tell them life is not easy, so try their best to be happy. B. To educate them that the happiest people don’t have the best of everything. C.

They will, in a lifetime, push the chrome-plated contraptions many miles. But few will know — or even think to ask — who it was that invented them. Sylvan N. Goldman invented the shopping cart in 1937. At that time, he was in the supermarket business. Every day he would see shoppers lugging (吃力地携带) groceries around in baskets they had to carry. One day Goldman suddenly had the idea of putting baskets on wheels. The wheeled baskets would make shopping much easier for his customers, and would help to attract more business. On June 4,1937, Goldman’s first carts were ready for use in his market. He was terribly excited on the morning of that day as customers began arriving. He couldn’t wait to see them using his invention. But Goldman was disappointed. Most shoppers give the carts a long look, but hardly anybody would give them a try. After a while, Goldman decided to ask customers why they weren’t using his carts. “Don’t you think this arm is strong enough to carry a shopping basket?” one shopper replied. But Goldman wasn’t beaten yet. He knew his carts would be a great success if only he could persuade people to give them a try. To this end, Goldman hired a group of people to push carts around his market and pretend they were shopping! Seeing this, the real customers gradually began copying the phony (假冒的) customers. As Goldman had hoped, the carts were soon attracting larger and larger numbers of customers to his market. But not only did more people come — those who came bought more. With larger, easier-to-handle baskets, customers unconsciously bought a greater number of items than before. Today’s shopping carts are five times larger than Goldman’s original model. Perhaps that’s one reason Americans today spend more than five times as much money on food each year as they did before 1937 — before the coming of the shopping cart. 51.
