My husband and I were recently in Egypt, where the temperature reached 113 degrees, a bit warm for my tiny princess self. Medic, medic! So, we left Egypt. Back home, my dearest friends struggled with health stuff, with family craziness, with damaged children both young and grown. The game of life is hard, and a lot of us are playing hurt. I ache for the world but naturally I’m mostly watching the Me Movie, where balance and strength are beginning to fail. What can we do as the creaking (嘎吱响的) elevators of age slowly descend? The main solution is to get outside every day, ideally with friends. Old friends-even thoughts of them-are my comfort. Recently I was walking along a beach with Neshama. We go back 50 years. She is 84, short and strong. Every so often, she bent down somewhat tentatively and picked up small items into a small cloth bag. “What are you doing?” “I’m picking up micro litter. I try to help where I can.” I reminded her of an old story. A great warhorse comes upon a tiny sparrow lying on its back with its feet in the air, eyes tightly shut with effort. The horse asks it what it’s doing. “I’m trying to help hold back the darkness.” The horse roars with laughter. “That is so funny. What do you weigh?” And the sparrow replies, “One does what one can.” This is what older age means; we do what we can. We continued our walk. Neshama bent to pick up bits of litter and started to slip, but I caught her and we laughed. We are so physically vulnerable in older age. We have caught each other a lot and have come through some periods of darkness and overwhelming losses, but friendship makes it all a rowing machine for the soul. We can take it as long as we feel and give love, and laugh gently at ourselves as we fall apart. We know by a certain age the great lies in our life - if you do or achieve this or that, you will be happy and rich. No. Love and service make us rich. 4. What does the author think of her present life? A. She enjoys making new friends. B. She feels more struggles over aging process. C. She finds it challenging to handle family crises. D. She wants others to learn from her life experiences. 5. What message does the story of the sparrow convey? A. Age makes small efforts less meaningful over time. B. Strength in numbers is necessary to change the world. C. Even the smallest action will contribute to a bigger result. D. Every small action counts, no matter how insignificant it seems. 6. Which of the following can best describe Neshama? A. Healthy and cautious. B. Caring and responsible. C. Cooperative and modest. D. Educated and committed. 7. What does the author suggest about the meaning of life in older age? A Love and acts of service bring true richness in life. B. Happiness is achieved through love rather than wealth. C. Health and. independence are definitely the ultimate goals. D. True richness comes from love, service, and achievements. C The corn eaten around the world today originated in Mexico nearly 10000 years ago. From the ancieat rituals of the Mayans to modern-day dishes like tortillas, corn is central to culture, cuisine, and identity in this region. To protect this heritage, Mexico is fighting to phase out genetically modified (GM) US-grown corn this year. The Mexican government claims that banning GM corn will protect the country’s native corn varieties. Yet the announcement aroused strong objections from the US, whose largest annual customer for GM corn is often Mexico. The US claims that the GM ban breaks the trade agreement between the two countries. Mexico insists that modified seeds threaten Mexico’s agricultural traditions and cultural identity. In the US, most corn is grown with seed produced by large companies, which create just a handful of genetically identical corn varieties grown at mass scale. In Mexico, however, seeds come from seed-sharing practices among small-scale farms, which facilitates more diversity and allows farmers to grow corn that ranges widely in color and size. “Traditional varieties maintain a substantial amount of genetic diversity,” says Jeffrey Ross-Ibarra, an ecologist at the University of California, but he doesn’t think banning GM corn will help preserve these varieties, and points to a decrease in small-scale farms as the greater threat to native corn. “If traditional farmers abandon subsistence farming (自给农业), we’ re potentially losing diversity whether that crop is GM or traditionally bred, so economic policy has a much bigger impact on the risk of corn diversity than an adoption of GM corn.” Since Mexico began importing US corn, small-scale farms have been declining. Mauricio Bellon, a research professor at the Swett Center for Sustainable Foods Systems, believes that while threatened species are often stored in gene banks, the relationship between a farm er and their crop plays a crucial conservation role. “Evolution at scale continues with corn in Mexico through millions of farmers,” says him. 8. Why is Mexico prohibiting GM corn? A. To break the trade agreement. B. To cost the cost of importing corn. C. To safeguard its own types of corn. D. To get rid of the dependence on the US. 9. What is different in corn production practices between the US and Mexico from Para.3? A. The scale of farm. B. The source of corn seeds. C. The ownership of farmland. D. The concept between farmers. 10. What does Jeffrey Ross-Ibarra believe is a greater threat to native corn varieties? A. The adoption of GM corn. B. The decline in small-scale farms. C. The lack of economic policy support. D. The disappearance of traditional farming practices. 11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Biodiversity contributes to species evolution. B. GM corn has negative effects on traditional farms. C. Gene banks effectively conserve endangered species. D. Traditional farming practices help in maintaining corn varieties. D If a stranger offered you a free cookie, you might well eat it. But what if they offered to also give you $2? You might politely decline and walk away thinking, “Something smells fishy.” In a study published in Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, researchers found that people tend to turn down offers of “free money” (as well as unusually high salaries or suspiciously cheap services) because they seem “too good to be true”. The research bridges economics and psychology to explain why financial attraction can backfire. In the initial experiment, nearly 40 percent of participants ate a cookie offered freely, compared with about 20 percent of those offered $2 as well. “People typically imagine things like that someone did something disgusting to the cookie,” says study lead author Andrew J. Vonasch, a psychological scientist at University of Canterbury in New Zealand. Nine further experiments, involving more than 4,000 participants, used online questionnaires to present other cases. These included being offered money to accept a ride home, incredibly high construction-job wages and surprisingly cheap flights. In each case, past a certain threshold (门槛), higher financial profit reduced participants’ potential of accepting the offer. If someone seems to go against accepted norms such as self-interest without explanation, we assume they have hidden motives and infer there will be “phantom costs”: imagined consequences that reduce what Vonasch calls an offer’s “psychological value”. Factors beyond the present moment may come into play. “Understanding that others’ perceived over generosity may put us in their debt could also help explain people’s reluctance,” says Rachel McCloy, a psychologist studying decision-making at England’s University of Reading. “The old saying ‘there’s no such thing as a free lunch’ is clearly alive and well.” Another experiment found that high scorers on measures of distrust inferred more phantom costs. The researchers also showed how to alleviate the effect: simply provide a reason for the deal. The “cheap flights” experiment included a condition where the seats were revealed to be very uncomfortable. “Uncomfortable seats aren’t typically a selling point,” Vonasch says. “But telling people the seats were uncomfortable made them more willing to take them because it was sufficient explanation.” 12. What does the underlined word “backfire” in Para. 1 mean? A. Result in an opposite effect. B. Boost the success of an offer. C. Increase the appeal of a proposal. D. Cause a positive outcome unexpectedly. 13. Why is the quote “there’s no such thing as a free lunch” mentioned by the author? A. To prove the phantom costs. B. To promote generosity in society. C. To doubt hidden costs of generous offers. D. To remind people to be cautious of free items. 14. What helps make the “cheap flights” more acceptable according to the experiment? A. Offering more flight credits. B. Discounting the price further. C. Providing additional unrelated gifts. D. Giving a seemingly reasonable explanation. 15. Which could be the best title for the text? A. Why People Embrace High-Value Offers B. Why People Reject Free Money and Offers C. Why Some Deals Seem Too Good to Be True D. How Offers of Money Increase Acceptance Rates 第二节 (共5小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Boundaries are personal guidelines that define what is and is not okay in your interpersonal relationships. As everyone has different needs and comfort levels, they may appear different for each person. Establishing healthy boundaries may provide such benefits, as avoiding burnout, boosting self-esteem and maintaining personal space. Once you’ve set your boundaries, it’s crucial to review them on a regular basis to remain relevant to your life circumstances. ___16___ However, the question arises: how can you establish these boundaries in a healthy way? ___17___ The way you set them reflects your attitude to taking responsibility in life. Taking the time to think about your wants and needs in different situations will help you understand how your values influence boundary-setting. Once you have made the list of your values, needs, and wants, you should use knowledge to establish clear boundaries that respect yourself and those around you. Also, when you have identified your boundaries, it is important to communicate them effectively. ___18___ Express your ideas in an open and straightforward manner and speak up for yourself so that others can hear, understand and respect your needs. If tensions arise during a conversation about setting boundaries, you’d better take a step back. Before restarting the conversation, allow yourself or the other person to cool down. ___19___ In addition to the points mentioned above, learning how to say “no” is essential. Saying “yes” to everything can result in stress, burnout, and frustration. Furthermore, it’s vital to evaluate what is acceptable and unacceptable.___20___ If the situation persists, remove yourself from it respectfully. You deserve more than surrounding yourself with people who don’t value your values. A. Initially, identify your personal boundaries. B. Honesty and respect play an essential key role in the process. C. When you feel that someone has crossed your boundaries, remind them. D. Consequently, setting healthy boundaries is essential in social interactions. E. This contributes to finding possible solutions to issues regarding boundary-setting. F. Pick up the conversation unless there appears another argument needed to be settled. G.

You will have to use a wheelchair.” Unprepared for the doctor’s cruel diagnosis,I heard his words fall heavily on my ears. If I had never felt hopeless before, I felt hopeless then. A catastrophic car accident bad left me unconscious and in critical condition. I awakened to find both legs swathed in casts (被打上石膏). While I had other serious injuries, my legs were my prime concern. I couldn’t imagine being disabled for the whole life and being confined to a wheelchair the rest of my life didn’t fit into my plans. Lying in my bed motionless and relying on prayer, I wondered how I could give Jasen, my ten-year-old son, hope that Mom would heal. He’d been cheerful on every visit, chattering about our previous countless park football games and expecting I could return to the game with him soon. However, I saw the fear in his eyes. Looking forward to having a totally handicapped mother and the implications of that were weighing heavily on his little shoulder. I knew he needed the ray of hope that I would not be in a wheelchair forever. Just maybe, I thought, I could use this experience to teach what to do when adversity strikes. So I kept assuring him I would rise again. His eyes sparkled with trust in me. Then my healthy training began. At first, I taught myself to move from the bed to the wheelchair. I just made tiny movements for weeks, while getting out of the chair and back into bed proved to be more difficult. After several weeks of these ever so difficult efforts, it seemed that I couldn’t make any progress. So it didn’t take me long to become impatient with the torturous healthy training. I began to feel on the edge of despair and Jason seemed to sense my depression. 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 visit, Jason brought the football we used to play with. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With my son’s unwavering support, I made steady progress. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2025届高三·十二月·六校联考 英语 (满分120分，折算成150分计入总分。考试时间120分钟。) 注意事项： 1.答题前，考生务必用黑色字迹的钢笔或签字笔将自己的姓名和考生号、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上。并用2B铅笔将对应的信息点涂黑，不按要求填涂的，答卷无效。 2.选择题每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目选项的答案信息涂黑，如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案，答案不能答在试卷上。 3.非选择题必须用黑色字迹钢笔或签字笔作答，答案必须写在答题卡各题目指定区域内相应位置上；如需改动，先划掉原来的答案，然后再写上新的答案，不准使用铅笔和涂改液。不按以上要求作答的答案无效。 4.考生必须保持答题卡的整洁，考试结束后，只需将答题卡交回。 第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节 (共15小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A Ai & Theatre: A Discussion at the Library for the Performing Arts With the development of technology, there is the wide use of AI in many aspects of our lives.

My husband and I were recently in Egypt, where the temperature reached 113 degrees, a bit warm for my tiny princess self. Medic, medic! So, we left Egypt. Back home, my dearest friends struggled with health stuff, with family craziness, with damaged children both young and grown. The game of life is hard, and a lot of us are playing hurt. I ache for the world but naturally I’m mostly watching the Me Movie, where balance and strength are beginning to fail. What can we do as the creaking (嘎吱响的) elevators of age slowly descend? The main solution is to get outside every day, ideally with friends. Old friends-even thoughts of them-are my comfort. Recently I was walking along a beach with Neshama. We go back 50 years. She is 84, short and strong. Every so often, she bent down somewhat tentatively and picked up small items into a small cloth bag. “What are you doing?” “I’m picking up micro litter. I try to help where I can.” I reminded her of an old story. A great warhorse comes upon a tiny sparrow lying on its back with its feet in the air, eyes tightly shut with effort.

Health and. independence are definitely the ultimate goals. D. True richness comes from love, service, and achievements. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要描述了作者和丈夫在埃及的经历、与老朋友在海滩上散步的情景，以及通过讲述马和麻雀的故事来表达自己对生活、友情、年龄和努力的看法，强调友情、爱和服务的力量超越物质追求。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“The game of life is hard, and a lot of us are playing hurt. I ache for the world but naturally I’m mostly watching the Me Movie, where balance and strength are beginning to fail. What can we do as the creaking (嘎吱响的) elevators of age slowly descend? (人生的游戏很艰难，我们很多人都在带着伤痛前行。我为这个世界感到心痛，但自然而然地，我更多的是在关注自己的内心世界，在那里，平衡与力量正开始消逝。当我们步入老年，就像老旧的电梯缓缓下降，我们能做些什么呢？)”可知，作者觉得生活艰难，随着年龄增长面临诸多困扰，也就是在衰老过程中有更多挣扎。所以她觉得自己当下的生活是她感觉在衰老过程中有更多挣扎。故选B项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第五段中的“The horse roars with laughter. “That is so funny. What do you weigh?” And the sparrow replies, “One does what one can.” This is what older age means; we do what we can. (马大笑起来，“这太有趣了。你有多重呢？”麻雀回答说：“一个人能做什么就做什么。”这就是衰老的意义；我们做自己力所能及的事。)”可知，文中提到麻雀的故事，麻雀虽小却努力想要阻挡黑暗，回应马的质疑时所说的话，意在传达不管行动看起来多么微不足道，每一个小行动都是有意义、有价值的，都很重要。故选D项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段中的“She is 84, short and strong. Every so often, she bent down somewhat tentatively and picked up small items into a small cloth bag. “What are you doing?” “I’m picking up micro litter. I try to help where I can.” (她今年84岁，个子不高但很结实。每隔一会儿，她就会有些犹豫地弯下腰，把小东西捡起放进一个小布袋里。“你在做什么？”“我在捡拾微小垃圾。我尽量在力所能及的地方帮忙。”)”可知，84 岁的Neshama会去捡微小的垃圾，尽力在自己能做到的地方提供帮助，这体现了她关心环境、有责任感、乐于奉献的品质，所以可以用有爱心且负责任来形容她。故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的“We know by a certain age the great lies in our life - if you do or achieve this or that, you will be happy and rich. No. Love and service make us rich. (到了某个年龄，我们就知道我们生活中的伟大之处——如果你做到了或做到了这一点或那一点，你就会幸福而富有。不，爱和服务使我们富有。)”可知，作者认为在老年阶段，爱和服务才会让我们的人生真正富有，也就是生命的意义在于此。故选A项。 C The corn eaten around the world today originated in Mexico nearly 10,000 years ago.

Yet the announcement aroused strong objections from the US, whose largest annual customer for GM corn is often Mexico. The US claims that the GM ban breaks the trade agreement between the two countries. Mexico insists that modified seeds threaten Mexico’s agricultural traditions and cultural identity. In the US, most corn is grown with seed produced by large companies, which create just a handful of genetically identical corn varieties grown at mass scale. In Mexico, however, seeds come from seed-sharing practices among small-scale farms, which facilitates more diversity and allows farmers to grow corn that ranges widely in color and size. “Traditional varieties maintain a substantial amount of genetic diversity,” says Jeffrey Ross-Ibarra, an ecologist at the University of California, but he doesn’t think banning GM corn will help preserve these varieties, and points to a decrease in small-scale farms as the greater threat to native corn. “If traditional farmers abandon subsistence farming (自给农业), we’ re potentially losing diversity whether that crop is GM or traditionally bred, so economic policy has a much bigger impact on the risk of corn diversity than an adoption of GM corn.” Since Mexico began importing US corn, small-scale farms have been declining. Mauricio Bellon, a research professor at the Swett Center for Sustainable Foods Systems, believes that while threatened species are often stored in gene banks, the relationship between a farm er and their crop plays a crucial conservation role. “Evolution at scale continues with corn in Mexico through millions of farmers,” says him. 8 Why is Mexico prohibiting GM corn? A. To break the trade agreement. B. To cost the cost of importing corn. C. To safeguard its own types of corn. D. To get rid of the dependence on the US. 9. What is different in corn production practices between the US and Mexico from Para.3? A. The scale of farm. B. The source of corn seeds. C. The ownership of farmland. D. The concept between farmers. 10. What does Jeffrey Ross-Ibarra believe is a greater threat to native corn varieties? A. The adoption of GM corn. B. The decline in small-scale farms. C. The lack of economic policy support. D. The disappearance of traditional farming practices. 11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Biodiversity contributes to species evolution. B. GM corn has negative effects on traditional farms. C. Gene banks effectively conserve endangered species. D. Traditional farming practices help in maintaining corn varieties. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了墨西哥政府禁止转基因玉米来保护本国的本土玉米品种的政策以及研究人员的不同看法。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The Mexican government claims that banning GM corn will protect the country’s native corn varieties. (墨西哥政府声称，禁止转基因玉米将保护该国的本土玉米品种)”可知，墨西哥禁止转基因玉米是为了保护自己的玉米品种。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“In the US, most corn is grown with seed produced by large companies, which create just a handful of genetically identical corn varieties grown at mass scale. In Mexico, however, seeds come from seed-sharing practices among small-scale farms, which facilitates more diversity and allows farmers to grow corn that ranges widely in color and size.(在美国，大多数玉米都是用大公司生产的种子种植的，这些大公司只生产少量大规模种植的基因相同的玉米品种。然而，在墨西哥，种子来自小规模农场之间的种子共享做法，这促进了更多的多样性，并允许农民种植颜色和大小各异的玉米)”可知，在美国和墨西哥的玉米生产实践中，玉米种子的来源不同。故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段““Traditional varieties maintain a substantial amount of genetic diversity,” says Jeffrey Ross-Ibarra, an ecologist at the University of California, but he doesn’t think banning GM corn will help preserve these varieties, and points to a decrease in small-scale farms as the greater threat to native corn. (“传统品种保持了大量的遗传多样性，”加州大学的生态学家Jeffrey Ross-Ibarra说，但他不认为禁止转基因玉米将有助于保护这些品种，并指出小规模农场的减少是对本土物种的更大威胁)”可知，杰弗里·罗斯-伊巴拉认为对本土玉米品种威胁更大的是小规模农场的减少。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Mauricio Bellon,a research professor at the Swett Center for Sustainable Foods Systems, believes that while threatened species are often stored in gene banks, the relationship between a farm er and their crop plays a crucial conservation role. “Evolution at scale continues with corn in Mexico through millions of farmers,” says him.(斯威特可持续食品系统中心的研究教授毛里西奥·贝隆认为，虽然濒危物种通常被储存在基因库中，但农民与作物之间的关系在保护中起着至关重要的作用。他说：“墨西哥数以百万计的农民种植玉米，大规模的进化仍在继续。”)”可知，传统的耕作方式有助于保存玉米品种。故选D。 D If a stranger offered you a free cookie, you might well eat it. But what if they offered to also give you $2? You might politely decline and walk away thinking, “Something smells fishy.” In a study published in Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, researchers found that people tend to turn down offers of “free money” (as well as unusually high salaries or suspiciously cheap services) because they seem “too good to be true”. The research bridges economics and psychology to explain why financial attraction can backfire. In the initial experiment, nearly 40 percent of participants ate a cookie offered freely, compared with about 20 percent of those offered $2 as well. “People typically imagine things like that someone did something disgusting to the cookie,” says study lead author Andrew J. Vonasch, a psychological scientist at University of Canterbury in New Zealand. Nine further experiments, involving more than 4,000 participants, used online questionnaires to present other cases. These included being offered money to accept a ride home, incredibly high construction-job wages and surprisingly cheap flights. In each case, past a certain threshold (门槛), higher financial profit reduced participants’ potential of accepting the offer. If someone seems to go against accepted norms such as self-interest without explanation, we assume they have hidden motives and infer there will be “phantom costs”: imagined consequences that reduce what Vonasch calls an offer’s “psychological value”. Factors beyond the present moment may come into play. “Understanding that others’ perceived over generosity may put us in their debt could also help explain people’s reluctance,” says Rachel McCloy, a psychologist studying decision-making at England’s University of Reading. “The old saying ‘there’s no such thing as a free lunch’ is clearly alive and well.” Another experiment found that high scorers on measures of distrust inferred more phantom costs. The researchers also showed how to alleviate the effect: simply provide a reason for the deal. The “cheap flights” experiment included a condition where the seats were revealed to be very uncomfortable. “Uncomfortable seats aren’t typically a selling point,” Vonasch says. “But telling people the seats were uncomfortable made them more willing to take them because it was sufficient explanation.” 12. What does the underlined word “backfire” in Para. 1 mean? A. Result in an opposite effect. B. Boost the success of an offer. C. Increase the appeal of a proposal. D. Cause a positive outcome unexpectedly. 13. Why is the quote “there’s no such thing as a free lunch” mentioned by the author? A. To prove the phantom costs. B. To promote generosity in society. C. To doubt hidden costs of generous offers. D. To remind people to be cautious of free items. 14. What helps make the “cheap flights” more acceptable according to the experiment? A. Offering more flight credits. B. Discounting the price further. C. Providing additional unrelated gifts. D. Giving a seemingly reasonable explanation. 15. Which could be the best title for the text? A. Why People Embrace High-Value Offers B. Why People Reject Free Money and Offers C. Why Some Deals Seem Too Good to Be True D. How Offers of Money Increase Acceptance Rates 【答案】12. A 13. A 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了人们为何倾向于拒绝看似“好得令人难以置信”的免费或高价值提议，一项研究结合心理学和经济学，解释了这种心理现象，表明原因在于人们认为这些提议可能隐藏着未知的成本或风险。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。画线词的上文“In a study published in Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, researchers found that people tend to turn down offers of “free money” (as well as unusually high salaries or suspiciously cheap services) because they seem “too good to be true”. (在《人格与社会心理学公报》上发表的一项研究中，研究人员发现，人们倾向于拒绝“免费的钱”（以及异常高的薪水或可疑的廉价服务），因为它们看起来“好得令人难以置信”)”提到超出预期的绝好提议往往会被拒绝，这与人们通常趋利的倾向相反。由此可知，该研究解释的是为什么经济吸引力可能适得其反，画线词意思应该是“Result in an opposite effect (导致相反的效果)”。故选A项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。第三段“If someone seems to go against accepted norms such as self-interest without explanation, we assume they have hidden motives and infer there will be “phantom costs”: imagined consequences that reduce what Vonasch calls an offer’s “psychological value”. (如果某人似乎毫无缘由地违背了自我利益等公认的准则，我们就会认为他们有隐藏的动机，并推断出会有“幽灵成本”：一些想象出来的后果，可能会减少Vonasch称一项提议的“心理价值”)”用“幽灵成本”的概念解释了为什么人们往往会拒绝看似过度慷慨的东西，再结合第四段中“The old saying ‘there’s no such thing as a free lunch’ is clearly alive and well. (“天下没有免费的午餐”这句老话显然很有道理)”可知，作者肯定了这句谚语的意义，进一步强调看似免费的东西实际上可能存在隐藏的风险，证明了“幽灵成本”的存在。故选A项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段““Uncomfortable seats aren’t typically a selling point,” Vonasch says. “But telling people the seats were uncomfortable made them more willing to take them because it was sufficient explanation.” (“不舒服的座位通常不是卖点，”Vonasch说。“但告诉人们座位不舒服会让他们更愿意坐，因为这是一个充分的解释。”)”可知，给出一个看似合理的解释有助于让人们更容易接受“廉价航班”。故选D项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“If a stranger offered you a free cookie, you might well eat it. But what if they offered to also give you $2? You might politely decline and walk away thinking, “Something smells fishy.” (如果一个陌生人给你一块免费的饼干，你很可能会吃掉它。但如果他们还愿意给你2美元呢？你可能会礼貌地拒绝，然后走开，心想：“有东西闻起来很可疑。”)”可知，文章围绕人们倾向于拒绝看似“好得令人难以置信”的免费或高价值提议这一现象展开，介绍了一项结合心理学和经济学的研究，该研究解释了这种心理现象，表明原因在于人们认为这些提议可能隐藏着未知的成本或风险。因此，C项“为什么有些交易看起来好得令人难以置信”最契合文章主旨，适合作为文章标题。故选C项。 第二节 (共5小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Boundaries are personal guidelines that define what is and is not okay in your interpersonal relationships.

Establishing healthy boundaries may provide such benefits, as avoiding burnout, boosting self-esteem and maintaining personal space. Once you’ve set your boundaries, it’s crucial to review them on a regular basis to remain relevant to your life circumstances. ___16___ However, the question arises: how can you establish these boundaries in a healthy way? ___17___ The way you set them reflects your attitude to taking responsibility in life. Taking the time to think about your wants and needs in different situations will help you understand how your values influence boundary-setting. Once you have made the list of your values, needs, and wants, you should use knowledge to establish clear boundaries that respect yourself and those around you. Also, when you have identified your boundaries, it is important to communicate them effectively. ___18___ Express your ideas in an open and straightforward manner and speak up for yourself so that others can hear, understand and respect your needs. If tensions arise during a conversation about setting boundaries, you’d better take a step back. Before restarting the conversation, allow yourself or the other person to cool down. ___19___ In addition to the points mentioned above, learning how to say “no” is essential. Saying “yes” to everything can result in stress, burnout, and frustration. Furthermore, it’s vital to evaluate what is acceptable and unacceptable.___20___ If the situation persists, remove yourself from it respectfully. You deserve more than surrounding yourself with people who don’t value your values. A. Initially, identify your personal boundaries. B. Honesty and respect play an essential key role in the process. C. When you feel that someone has crossed your boundaries, remind them. D. Consequently, setting healthy boundaries is essential in social interactions. E.

C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要讨论了个人界限的重要性、如何设定健康界限、有效沟通界限的方法、学会说“不”以及在界限被侵犯时的应对策略。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Boundaries are personal guidelines that define what is and is not okay in your interpersonal relationships. As everyone has different needs and comfort levels, they may appear different for each person. Establishing healthy boundaries may provide such benefits, as avoiding burnout, boosting self-esteem and maintaining personal space. Once you’ve set your boundaries, it’s crucial to review them on a regular basis to remain relevant to your life circumstances.(界限是个人的准则，它定义了在人际关系中什么是可以的，什么是不可以的。由于每个人都有不同的需求和舒适程度，它们可能对每个人来说都是不同的。建立健康的界限可能会带来这样的好处，比如避免倦怠、增强自尊和保持个人空间。一旦你设定了你的界限，定期回顾它们以保持与你的生活环境相关是至关重要的)”可知，建立健康的界限是非常必要的。故D选项“因此，在社会交往中设定健康的界限是必不可少的”符合语境，故选D。 【17题详解】 由下文“The way you set them reflects your attitude to taking responsibility in life. Taking the time to think about your wants and needs in different situations will help you understand how your values influence boundary-setting. Once you have made the list of your values, needs, and wants, you should use knowledge to establish clear boundaries that respect yourself and those around you.(你设定目标的方式反映了你对生活负责的态度。花点时间想想自己在不同情况下的需求，这将有助于你理解你的价值观是如何影响边界设置的。一旦你列出了你的价值观、需求和愿望，你就应该用知识来建立清晰的界限，尊重你自己和你周围的人)”可知，下文开始讲述确定界限的方法，例如识别和列出自我的价值观、需求和愿望，因此本空应讲述与“确定界限”有关话题。因此，A选项“首先，你应该确定你的个人界限”提出了设定界限的第一步是自我认知，能概括本段主旨，符合题意。故选A。 【18题详解】 由上文“Also, when you have identified your boundaries, it is important to communicate them effectively.(此外，当你确定了自己的界限后，有效地与他们沟通是很重要的)”和下文“Express your ideas in an open and straightforward manner and speak up for yourself so that others can hear, understand and respect your needs.(以开放和直接的方式表达你的想法，说出自己的想法，这样别人就能听到、理解和尊重你的需求)”可知，上文强调有效沟通界限的重要性，下文则提到了具体沟通时的建议，如开放直接地表达、维护自己等，所以本空表达与“沟通技巧”有关话题。B选项“在这个过程中，诚实和尊重起着关键作用”既强调了沟通中的重要态度，也自然过渡到具体的沟通技巧描述，能承上启下，符合题意。故选B。 【19题详解】 由上文“Before restarting the conversation, allow yourself or the other person to cool down.(在重新开始谈话之前，让自己或对方冷静下来)”可知，提到了在对话中出现紧张时应先冷静下来再继续谈话，本空应解释这样做的原因，E选项“这有助于找到关于界限设定问题的可能解决方案”说明了为何需要冷静后再继续对话——为了更有效地解决问题，能承接上文，符合题意。故选E。 【20题详解】 由上文“In addition to the points mentioned above, learning how to say “no” is essential. Saying “yes” to everything can result in stress, burnout, and frustration. Furthermore, it’s vital to evaluate what is acceptable and unacceptable.(除了上面提到的几点，学会如何说“不”也很重要。对所有事情都说“是”会导致压力、倦怠和沮丧。此外，评估什么是可接受的，什么是不可接受的是至关重要的)”和下文“If the situation persists, remove yourself from it respectfully. You deserve more than surrounding yourself with people who don’t value your values.(如果这种情况持续存在，恭敬地离开它。你应该得到更多，而不是让你周围的人不重视你的价值观)”可知，上文提及学会说“不”的重要性，下文则提到了当有人越界时的应对措施及最终可能需要远离不尊重你界限的人，因此本空应表达与“说‘不’的方法”相关话题。因此，C选项“当你觉得有人越界了，提醒他们”作为处理界限被侵犯情况的第一步，与后文的进一步行动相衔接，能承上启下，符合题意。故选C。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题； 每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 On April 6, 1909, six men claimed their place as the first explorers to reach the North Pole.

You will have to use a wheelchair.” Unprepared for the doctor’s cruel diagnosis,I heard his words fall heavily on my ears. If I had never felt hopeless before, I felt hopeless then. A catastrophic car accident bad left me unconscious and in critical condition. I awakened to find both legs swathed in casts (被打上石膏). While I had other serious injuries, my legs were my prime concern. I couldn’t imagine being disabled for the whole life and being confined to a wheelchair the rest of my life didn’t fit into my plans. Lying in my bed motionless and relying on prayer, I wondered how I could give Jasen, my ten-year-old son, hope that Mom would heal. He’d been cheerful on every visit, chattering about our previous countless park football games and expecting I could return to the game with him soon. However, I saw the fear in his eyes. Looking forward to having a totally handicapped mother and the implications of that were weighing heavily on his little shoulder. I knew he needed the ray of hope that I would not be in a wheelchair forever. Just maybe, I thought, I could use this experience to teach what to do when adversity strikes. So I kept assuring him I would rise again. His eyes sparkled with trust in me. Then my healthy training began. At first, I taught myself to move from the bed to the wheelchair. I just made tiny movements for weeks, while getting out of the chair and back into bed proved to be more difficult. After several weeks of these ever so difficult efforts, it seemed that I couldn’t make any progress. So it didn’t take me long to become impatient with the torturous healthy training. I began to feel on the edge of despair and Jason seemed to sense my depression. 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 visit, Jason brought the football we used to play with. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With my son’s unwavering support, I made steady progress. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 One visit, Jason brought the football we used to play with. He held it up in front of me and said, “Mom, remember how we used to have so much fun playing football? I know you’ll be able to play again.” His words touched my heart. I reached out and took the football, feeling its familiar texture. Then, with great effort, I managed to toss it gently back to him. He caught it with a big smile and urged me to try more. That small interaction gave me a newfound determination. I realized that I wasn’t just fighting for myself but also for the precious moments with my son. With my son’s unwavering support, I made steady progress. I practiced harder, gradually increasing the range of my movements. Each small achievement was a victory. Jason was always by my side, cheering me on. He would offer his little hand to help me balance or simply give me an encouraging hug. As days passed, I could move more freely and even took a few steps unaided. The look of pride and joy on Jason's face was priceless. Thanks to his love and belief in me, I not only regained my physical ability but also learned the power of hope and perseverance in the face of adversity. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者因车祸双腿受伤，面临可能残疾的残酷诊断，在康复训练中陷入绝望，而儿子杰森的到来和他带来的足球重新点燃了作者的希望，之后在儿子坚定支持下逐渐取得康复进展的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“一次拜访，杰森带来了我们以前用来踢的足球。”可知，第一段可描写杰森带来足球后与作者的互动以及这对作者心态和训练决心产生的影响。 ②由第二段首句内容“在我儿子坚定的支持下，我取得了稳步的进步。”可知，第二段可描写作者在儿子支持下具体的康复进展情况以及作者从中获得的感悟与收获。 2. 续写线索： 杰森带足球来访——互动鼓励——重燃希望决心—— 努力训练进步——儿子陪伴支持——感悟爱与希望力量 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①鼓励：encourage/inspire ②进步：make progress/advance/improve ③陪伴：accompany/stay with 情绪类 ①感动：touched/moved ②喜悦：joy/happiness 【点睛】[高分句型 1] I realized that I wasn’t just fighting for myself but also for the precious moments with my son.
