He got the inspiration for this theory when he noticed how painters worked in a studio. After they had finished a work of art, instead of enjoying it, they put it against the wall and started a new painting. What these artists pursued wasn’t the finished work itself, but the experience of full engagement in creation. He went on to study how people attained this state. In his early work, he focused on athletes and artists. He soon discovered that this “flow” quality applied to people in many different pursuits, whether they were rock climbers, dancers, composers, or chess masters. Anyone who has experienced this state of concentration says it’s difficult to explain. The best explanation is that it is like being in a river where the flow of the water carries you away. According to flow theory, a happy life is a life in which you are deeply absorbed in what you do. If we get fully involved in what we are doing, we are in a state of flow. Questions: 14. What is Mihaly known for? 15. Why did Mihaly focus on people in different fields? 16. According to Mihaly, when can people achieve a happy life?

D．It’s for library use only. 19．A．The parking services office. B．The main entrance of the library. C．The vehicle storage facility. D．The campus gymnasium. 20．A．$10 B．$50 C．$75 D．$85 【答案】17．D 18．A 19．C 20．B 【原文】W: Hi there, this is the parking services office. How can I assist you today? M: I think my motorcycle might have been pulled away. W: Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. Can you provide some details about your motorcycle? M: It’s a black Harley Davidson. W: When and where was the last time you saw it? M: I parked it this morning near the main entrance of the library. W: Let me check our records. Ah, it seems your motorcycle was parked in a specific loading zone. M: I know, I was just going to drop off some books quickly. I didn’t think it would be a problem. W: Unfortunately, vehicles parked in specific loading zones are subject to being removed. M: What should I do to get my motorcycle back then?

B.C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context One summer midnight several years ago, standing outside a wooden cabin in Michigan River, I looked up. The sky was filled with thousands of stars, the sight of which was almost enough to make me, a non-believer, offer a word of 41 up into the star-filled sky. But to whom? Perhaps to Johan Eklof, author of The Darkness Manifesto. As a bat scientist, Eklof’s work on bats requires a specific kind of darkness—the 42 kind, unpolluted by light. But this category of darkness is 43 . In the 1980s, Eklof tells readers, two-thirds of the churches in Sweden’s southwest housed bat colonies. Not any longer. “Today, forty years later, research I’ve done with my colleagues shows that this number has been reduced by a third, 44 light pollution and other factors. Because the churches are all 45 like carnivals(嘉年华) in the night,” he writes. “We are surrounding ourselves with light.” Excess light is incredibly 46 to the complex eco-systems nocturnal (夜间活动的) animals inhabit. It 47 away the bats that Eklof studies. It frightens light-sensitive moths, leaving them easily 48 to predation(捕食) or flying endlessly into lights that will never return their love. Baby turtles crawl away from the shoreline toward the lights of distant coastal cities and reef fish eggs go unhatched. Birds do not migrate 49 and even they forget to sing. Modern advancements such as LED lights could significantly reduce some of the worst impacts, but they have not. At least, not yet. It is worth mentioning that middle-aged writer like Eklof can 50 for a darker world — for darkened campuses and unlit parking lots. But darkness is not safe for everyone. We need to address the social issues that make lighted places so 51 in the first place. The bottom line: We can change if we want to. Some of the solutions to light pollution— motion-detecting lights, shielded lights that do not 52 light upward, artificial light with wavelengths that is similar to natural light—are already within our grasp, if we just 53 them. “We could just turn it all off, but I guess we don’t want to,” said Eklof in a recent interview. “ 54 , it’s vital we find a middle way.” Right now it is hard to know what that middle way might look like. In 50 years, every city could be equipped with an array of programmed and 55 low-impact LED lights. Or we might have completely forgotten what darkness is—the sky filled with little moons. 41．A．honour B．gratitude C．optimism D．determination 42．A．artificial B．brilliant C．faint D．absolute 43．A．achieved B．distracted C．enhanced D．threatened 44．A．resulting from B．bringing about C．judging by D．contributing to 45．A．decorated B．restored C．lit D．faded 46．A．effective B．sensitive C．positive D．destructive 47．A．scares B．blows C．pulls D．turns 48．A．accustomed B．subject C．available D．restricted 49．A．on duty B．in turn C．on time D．in public 50．A．stimulate B．advocate C．negotiate D．account 51．A．challenging B．appealing C．demanding D．outstanding 52．A．absorb B．stretch C．transform D．reflect 53．A．reach for B．apply to C．long for D．adapt to 54．A．Therefore B．Furthermore C．However D．Instead 55．A．fundamentally B．scientifically C．environmentally D．economically 【答案】 41．B 42．D 43．D 44．A 45．C 46．D 47．A 48．B 49．C 50．B 51．B 52．D 53．A 54．A 55．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了光污染对鸟类以及夜间习性动物的影响，以及作者提出了可能的解决方法。 41．考查名词词义辨析。句意：这一景象几乎足以让我这个不信教的人在布满星星的天空中说出一个感恩词。A. honour荣誉；B. gratitude感恩；C. optimism乐观主义；D. determination决心。根据后文“Birds do not migrate _____9_____ and even they forget to sing.

She was determined to become a police officer to protect life and bring prosperity. All her passion and motivation drove her to pursue a Criminal Justice degree to become a police officer. Although she became a mother during her studies, she didn’t give up on her passion. Nicole could have called off her studies, but her passion for serving society didn’t let her step down. She took a break from her studies when her kids needed more attention but later came back to continue her study and completed her degree. Nicole finally became a police officer and everything went according to her plans. But uncertainty put her in a challenging situation. Nicole suffered from an injury. The sudden medical retirement called off her journey as a police officer, but her dreams and passion did not let her stop. So, she became a death doula, allowing her to be there for people whenever needed and provide comfort to the dying and their families during difficult times. She chose this field after her grandfather’s death. She couldn’t bear the pain of losing him; therefore, she decided to become a death doula and contribute her services to help those suffering from the pain of losing their loved ones. Nicole Thornes has written her book, Daddy’s Home, covering true events of losing someone and inspiring readers to cope with the feelings of emptiness and recover from mental illness after losing someone close.

First: you must be aware that, as of today, running a local independent shop is anything but simple. Second: you must know which is the most responsive area of the city for what concerns your specific business. Or as an alternative, you must gain full knowledge of which areas have proved to be super high-paying basically for any kind of business. As for London, everybody knows that it is one of the world capitals of trading and commerce. The enormous number of residents, combined with the continuous inflow of tourists, makes it a highly wanted city for every kind of commercial activity. Clearly, everyone — whether he/she is a British citizen or a foreigner investor — who wants to start a business in London must detect first the most profitable areas. And the four most appealing ones are listed below. Covent Garden Opening a commercial space in Covent Garden, or in the West End in general, is always a winning idea. This area represents the perfect balance between luxury and sustainability. A band of musicians that never cease to attract both clients and new investors. Carnaby For over sixty years, Carnaby Street and the other surrounding secondary roads have represented an authentic oasis or paradise for those who want to go shopping in London. First, the Swinging London vibe, then the punk rock revolution: everything — especially in terms of fashion — has been created or passed through there. And even in the Third Millennium, it remains a landmark for everything related to fashion and new trends. Mayfair Are you planning to open a luxury shop? Then Mayfair is undoubtedly your spot. Renting a place here is highly expensive, but it’s a risk worth taking. If you play your cards wisely, profits will not be long in coming. The only question is: have you got enough funds to start a business in such an expensive area? Bond Street Another luxury area with a gathering of many established high-end brands, maybe the most complicated one. It is recommended only to those investors who aim to start a real first-rate business. Many small entrepreneurs or businessmen work a lifetime in order to gain the privilege or the great advantage of upgrading their business in this area. 60．This article is intended for ______. A．British citizens who want to buy luxury goods B．visitors looking for recreational activities in Britain C．investors interested in starting a business in London D．foreigners participating in commercial activities in London 61．According to the article, if you are planning to do business in London, which factor is worth considering the most? A．London appeals to high-paying investors from all over the world. B．London is the most promising center for trading, commerce and fashion. C．London is where many landmark buildings and every kind of business lies. D．London boasts ongoing floods of tourists and enormous potential consumers. 62．If you get enough funds and fancy opening a luxury shop, which is the last area to choose? A．Bond Street. B．Carnaby. C．Mayfair. D．Convent Garden. 【答案】60．C 61．D 62．B 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了伦敦四个最适合投资者投资的地方。 60．推理判断题。根据第三自然段“Clearly, everyone — whether he/she is a British citizen or a foreigner investor — who wants to start a business in London must detect first the most profitable areas. And the four most appealing ones are listed below. (显然，每个想在伦敦创业的人，无论是英国公民还是外国投资者，都必须首先发现最有利可图的领域。下面列出了四个最吸引人的)”可推知，本文是的受众群体是有兴趣在伦敦创业的投资者。故选C。 61．推理判断题。根据第二自然段“The enormous number of residents, combined with the continuous inflow of tourists, makes it a highly wanted city for every kind of commercial activity. (庞大的居民数量，加上不断涌入的游客，使其成为各种商业活动的热门城市)”可推知，如果投资者计划在伦敦做生意，最值得考虑的因素是伦敦有不断涌入的游客和巨大的潜在消费者。故选D。 62．细节理解题。根据Covent Garden部分“This area represents the perfect balance between luxury and sustainability. (这个区域代表了奢华与可持续发展之间的完美平衡)”、 Mayfair部分“Are you planning to open a luxury shop? Then Mayfair is undoubtedly your spot. (你打算开一家奢侈品店吗？那么梅菲尔无疑是你的位置)”以及Bond Street部分“Another luxury area with a gathering of many established high-end brands, maybe the most complicated one. (另一个豪华区，聚集了许多知名高端品牌，可能是最复杂的一个)”可知，Covent Garden、Mayfair和Bond Street适合开奢侈品店。故用排除法，如果你有足够的资金，想要开一家奢侈品店，最不应该选择Carnaby。故选B。 (C) It’s 2076 and the skies are looking decidedly milky. On windy plains and in parts of the seas that have been turned over to wind farms, a different kind of tower has been built alongside the turbines (涡轮). They take in CO2 out of the atmosphere. Vast parcels of land have been given over to forest. Trees are grown, harvested and burned for energy in power plants that don’t let CO2 escape to the atmosphere. Instead, emissions are captured and driven underground. Powdered minerals are put into the water to absorb CO2 and reduce ocean acidification. All these technologies are a desperate action to reverse more than two centuries of greenhouse gas emissions. But they are not entirely up to the task and, anyway, we are still releasing greenhouse gases. “I think it’s very likely that in 60 years we’ll be using both technologies,” says John Shepherd of the University of Southampton, UK. He is referring to the two flavors of geoengineering: absorbing CO2 out of the air and using a sunshade to reflect some of the sun’s rays back out into space. There is no denying that climate talks are going too slowly and not so smoothly. Even if industrial emissions were to drop rapidly — a big if — some sections pose an intractable problem. We have no real replacement for aeroplane fuel and feeding people demands intensive agriculture, which accounts for a quarter of global emissions. Computer models suggest there will be winners and losers. While a sunshade could lower global average temperatures to pre-industrial levels, there would be regional differences. Northern Europe, Canada, Siberia and the poles would remain warmer than they were, and temperatures over the oceans would be cooler. Global warming is predicted to make wet regions wetter and dry ones drier. Models suggest a sunshade would correct this, but, again, not in a uniform way. Shepherd fears all this will feed into international arguments. He imagines some kind of global council where governments seek a climate that meets their needs. Some might prefer a slightly warmer temperature, for tourism or agriculture. But nations whose coral reefs (珊瑚礁) draw in visitors will probably want more CO2 absorbing technologies. In spite of all these concerns, most scientists hold that revolutionary technology and people’s awakening can shine a light on solutions in ways that are impossible now. There is undoubtedly a long way to go when we address problems facing mankind, but we can always anticipate something. 63．What is described in the first paragraph? A．Future scenery and farming methods. B．The development of transport technology. C．The serious pollution problem in the very near future. D．Future technologies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. 64．The word “intractable” in paragraph 4 most probably means “______”. A．solvable B．untypical C．tricky D．existing 65．It can be inferred from the passage that ______. A．climate talks haven’t achieved the expected results B．industrial emissions will decrease greatly in 60 years C．technologies to reduce CO2 emission aren’t used properly for now D．sunshades outshine intensive agriculture at capturing CO2 emissions 66．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Effective CO2 absorbing technologies have come into wide use. B．With greenhouse gas reduced, global warming can be addressed. C．Future climate will improve with human efforts but threats still remain. D．Future climate will restore to a normal state with advanced technology. 【答案】63．D 64．C 65．A 66．C 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了减少温室气体排放的未来技术是扭转两个多世纪温室气体排放的绝望之举。虽然未来的气候会得到改善，但威胁仍然存在。 63．主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“On windy plains and in parts of the seas that have been turned over to wind farms, a different kind of tower has been built alongside the turbines (涡轮). They take in CO2 out of the atmosphere. (在多风的平原和被移交给风电场的部分海域，涡轮机旁边建造了一座不同类型的塔。它们吸收大气中的二氧化碳。)”可知，第一段描述了减少温室气体排放的未来技术，故选D。 64．词义猜测题。根据文章第四段“There is no denying that climate talks are going too slowly and not so smoothly. Even if industrial emissions were to drop rapidly (不可否认，气候谈判进展太慢，也不那么顺利。即使工业排放量迅速下降)”以及划线单词后文“We have no real replacement for aeroplane fuel and feeding people demands intensive agriculture, which accounts for a quarter of global emissions.(我们没有真正的飞机燃料替代品，养活人们需要集约农业，而集约农业占全球排放量的四分之一。)”可知，一些部门也会带来棘手的问题，由此可知第4段中划线单词很可能是指“棘手的”。故选C。 65．推理判断题。根据文章第四段“There is no denying that climate talks are going too slowly and not so smoothly. Even if industrial emissions were to drop rapidly (不可否认，气候谈判进展太慢，也不那么顺利。即使工业排放量迅速下降)”可知，从这段话中可以推断出气候谈判没有取得预期结果，故选A。 66．主旨大意题。这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了减少温室气体排放的未来技术是扭转两个多世纪温室气体排放的绝望之举。虽然未来的气候会得到改善，但威胁仍然存在。根据文章最后一段“There is undoubtedly a long way to go when we address problems facing mankind, but we can always anticipate something.(毫无疑问，当我们解决人类面临的问题时，还有很长的路要走，但我们总是可以预料到一些事情。)”可知，文章大意是未来的气候将随着人类的努力而改善，但威胁仍然存在，故选C。 Section C Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need. As a botanists who studies our cultural relationship with plants, I am forever fascinated with what draws people to gardening. Admittedly, connecting with the natural world might seem like an obvious motivation, and undoubtedly it is a key part of the attraction. 67 If they were, we’d abandon any attempts at design, planting or care and watch how walls of weeds slowly gave way to the mass of bushes. But that wouldn’t be gardening, of course, because for all their diversity, the one thing that all gardens have in common is how unnatural they are. 68 Dazzling plants, watch features and glorious blooms is all interconnected well beyond what would naturally occur. Whether it is green lawns created in the driest deserts or a tropical paradise on a stormy North Atlantic island, they are all about shaping the natural world to fit our idea of what it “ should” be. As I work on my tiny terrariums (玻璃花园) on dark February nights, something magical happens to my brain. 69 In a world that has become increasingly uncertain, people are often fuelled by the same psychological desire: the instinctive need to have a bit of control amid chaos. As our world becomes more and more unpredictable and often frightening, gardening seems to be able to appeal to and reach out to a whole new generation, often against all odds. Of course, gardening in’ t the only thing people turn to. The rise of culture conflicts and fix at ion on body image have also been widely documented as being driven by a psychological need to feel a degree of certainty, control and safety. However, I can’t help but think of these alternatives: 70 A．In reality gardens are anything but natural. B．What are the things they have been attracted to? C．They are idealized landscape with all the mud, pests and dead plants edited out. D．How much better a place the planet would be if gardening was our outlet for this need! E．Much like agriculture, gardening is a universal human desire coded into our cultural DNA． F．The calmness created by owning a tiny green space under my control has a powerful effect on my mind. 【答案】67．A 68．C 69．F 70．D 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了人们从事园艺工作的原因以及园艺的作用。 67．根据上文“Admittedly, connecting with the natural world might seem like an obvious motivation, and undoubtedly it is a key part of the attraction.(诚然，与自然世界联系似乎是一个明显的动机，毫无疑问，这是吸引力的关键部分)”以及后文“If they were, we’d abandon any attempts at design, planting or care and watch how walls of weeds slowly gave way to the mass of bushes.(如果是这样，我们就会放弃任何设计、种植或护理的尝试，看着一堆堆的杂草慢慢地让位于大量的灌木丛)”可知，后文提到放弃花园的设计，花园就会变得杂草丛生，可见花园不属于自然的一部分，需要人工维护。故A选项“实际上，花园一点也不自然”符合语境，故选A。 68．根据上文“But that wouldn’t be gardening, of course, because for all their diversity, the one thing that all gardens have in common is how unnatural they are.(但这当然不是园艺，因为尽管花园种类繁多，但所有花园都有一个共同点，那就是它们多么不自然)”可知，本句旨在指出花园的不自然之处：去掉了所有的泥土、害虫和枯死的植物，是理想化的景观。故C选项“去掉了所有的泥土、害虫和枯死的植物，是理想化的景观”符合语境，故选C。 69．根据上文“As I work on my tiny terrariums (玻璃花园) on dark February nights, something magical happens to my brain.(在二月的夜晚，当我在我的玻璃花园工作时，我的大脑发生了一些神奇的事情)”以及后文“In a world that has become increasingly uncertain, people are often fuelled by the same psychological desire: the instinctive need to have a bit of control amid chaos.(在一个越来越不确定的世界里，人们经常受到同样的心理欲望的刺激：在混乱中有一点控制的本能需求)”可知，本句旨在说明料理花园给作者的思想带来怎样的感受。故F选项“在我的控制下，拥有一个小小的绿色空间所创造的平静对我的思想有强大的影响”符合语境，故选F。 70．根据上文“Of course, gardening in’ t the only thing people turn to. The rise of culture conflicts and fix at ion on body image have also been widely documented as being driven by a psychological need to feel a degree of certainty, control and safety. However, I can’t help but think of these alternatives(当然，园艺并不是人们唯一的选择。文化冲突的兴起和对身体形象的执着也被广泛证明是由一种心理需求驱动的，这种心理需求需要感受到一定程度的确定性、控制感和安全感。然而，我忍不住想到了这些选择)”可知，上文提到人们需要感受到一定程度的确定性、控制感和安全感，结合文章主要论述的是园艺，可知园艺可以满足这一需求。故D选项“如果园艺是我们满足这一需求的出口，地球将是一个多么美好的地方啊！”符合语境，故选D。 IV.Summary Writing (共10分） Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point( s)of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. Kangaroos can “talk” to us Kangaroos can “talk” to people, according to a new study. The report is the first research of its kind to be done on marsupials—a type of creature whose young get carried in skin pockets on their mother’s body. It suggests kangaroos are cleverer than previously thought. Researchers from the University of Roehampton in the UK and the University of Sydney in Australia tested kangaroos at the Australian Reptile (爬行动物) Park, Wildlife Sydney Zoo and Kangaroo Protection Co-operative. The scientists put food in a box that the kangaroos could not open, and waited to see what the animals would do. Rather than giving up, 10 out of the 11 kangaroos actively looked at the person who had put the food in the box and then looked at the box. The researchers said this could be interpreted as the kangaroos requesting help to open the container. Dr Alexandra Green, a co-author of the study, told The Guardian newspaper that some of the kangaroos actually approached the person and started scratching (挠) and sniffing (嗅) him, then looked back at the box. “So they were really trying to communicate,” Green said. This behaviour is not uncommon in animals. However, it is usually only seen in domesticated animals, such as pets or farm animals. The lead author of the study, Dr Alan McElligott, explained, “Through this study, we were able to see that communication between creatures can be learnt and that the behaviour of looking at humans to access food is not related to domestication. “Indeed, kangaroos showed a very similar pattern of behaviour we have seen in dogs, horses and even goats, when put to the same test,” he added. It is hoped that the study will give people a more positive attitude towards kangaroos, which are sometimes seen as harmful creatures that damage farmers’ crops. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】In a recent study, kangaroos have proved to be smarter than we thought—they have the ability to communicate with humans. Facing the inaccessible food in the tests, kangaroos which are similar to domesticated animals were found to turn to people using body language. The findings have refreshed the scientists’ understanding of kangaroos’ behaviour, probably improving our perception of them. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍说，事实证明袋鼠比我们想象的更聪明，它们有能力与人类交流。在测试中，面对难以接近的食物，袋鼠和驯养的动物一样，会求助于使用肢体语言的人。这些发现刷新了科学家对袋鼠行为的理解，可能改善了我们对袋鼠的认知。 【详解】1.要点摘录 ①Kangaroos can “talk” to people, according to a new study. ②The scientists put food in a box that the kangaroos could not open, and waited to see what the animals would do.

clearly by quoting some specific examples. 73．这部新片取材于老百姓的日常生活，所以很受欢迎。(anchor) (汉译英) 【答案】The newly-released film is anchored in ordinary people’s daily life, so it is warmly welcomed. 【详解】考查名词、短语和时态。“这部新片”指“新上映的电影”用The newly-released film，作主语；“取材于”指“扎根于，立足于”用短语be anchored in表示，描述客观情况用一般现在时；“老百姓的日常生活”用ordinary people’s daily life作宾语；“所以”用连词so表示；“很受欢迎”用系表结构be warmly welcomed表示，其中副词warmly修饰welcomed。故译为The newly-released film is anchored in ordinary people’s daily life, so it is warmly welcomed. 74．帮助孩子学会解决传统习俗和现代技术之间的冲突是有挑战性的，但这是一项孩子必须掌握的技能。(grasp) (汉译英) 【答案】Helping children learn how to deal with the conflict between traditional customs and modern technology is challenging, but it is a skill that they must have a good grasp of/grasp. 【详解】考查时态和定语从句。句子描述一般性事实，应用一般现在时。“帮助孩子学会解决传统习俗和现代技术之间的冲突是有挑战性的”和“但这是一项孩子必须掌握的技能”是转折关系，应用连词but连接。“帮助孩子学会解决传统习俗和现代技术之间的冲突是有挑战性的”是主系表结构，“助孩子学会解决传统习俗和现代技术之间的冲突”是主语，“帮助”为动词help，“孩子”为children，“学会”learn，help sb. do固定搭配，意为“帮助某人做某事”，“解决传统习俗和现代技术之间的冲突”译为how to deal with the conflict between traditional customs and modern technology，故“助孩子学会解决传统习俗和现代技术之间的冲突”译为help children learn how to deal with the conflict between traditional customs and modern technology，作主语，应用动名词形式，help应用动名词helping，动名词作主语，看成第三人称单数，“是”为be动词is，“有挑战性的”为形容词challenging，作表语；“但这是一项孩子必须掌握的技能。”中“这是一项技能”译为it is a skill，“孩子必须掌握”写成定语从句，修饰先行词skill，“孩子”为they代指上文提到的children，“必须”为must，“掌握”为have a good grasp of/grasp，“孩子必须掌握”译成they must have a good grasp of/grasp，其中先行词指物，关系词在定语从句中作宾语，可用that来引导，所以定语从句翻译为that they must have a good grasp of/grasp，故整句翻译为Helping children learn how to deal with the conflict between traditional customs and modern technology is challenging, but it is a skill that they must have a good grasp of/grasp.。 75．成功人士都有一个共同点：尽管历经可怕的挫折，他们依然对生活抱以积极的态度，并凭着顽强的意志力实现自己的理想。(What) (汉译英) 【答案】What successful people have in common is that despite terrible setbacks, they still have a positive attitude towards life and realize their dreams with a strong will./What successful people have in common is that despite the fact that they have suffered terrible setbacks, they still have a positive attitude towards life and realize their dreams with a strong will. 【详解】考查时态，介词短语、主语从句、宾语从句、同位语从句、动词短语。陈述客观事实，用一般现在时。“成功人士”表达为名词短语successful people，“有一个共同点”表达为动词短语have...in common，“成功人士都有一个共同点”表达为名词性从句what successful people have in common，句子缺少宾语，故用what引导从句；“尽管历经可怕的挫折，他们依然对生活抱以积极的态度，并凭着顽强的意志力实现自己的理想。”作表语从句。表语从句中，“尽管”表达为介词短语despite，后接宾语“历经可怕的挫折”，表达为名词短语 terrible setbacks，或同位语从句the fact that they have suffered terrible setbacks；“依然”表达为副词still，作状语；“对生活抱以积极的态度”表达为动词短语 have a positive attitude towards life，作表语从句的谓语动词；“凭着顽强的意志力”表达为介词短语with a strong will，作状语；“实现自己的理想”表达为动词短语realize their dreams，作表语从句的谓语动词。结合其他汉语提示，故翻译为；What successful people have in common is that despite terrible setbacks, they still have a positive attitude towards life and realize their dreams with a strong

I’m writing to apply for the position to help the primary school students in our community. I am very good at mathematics, and I often make some micro-courses for primary school students. I plan to set up a micro-course, the name of which is “Mathematics in our daily life”. This course mainly introduces how to use math in everyday life so that primary school students can have a deeper understanding of the importance of mathematics through examples. The reason why this micro-course is set up is that many students are not interested in learning mathematics.

VI. Guided Writing （25%） One possible version: 76．Dear Sir/Madam, I am Li Ming from Class 1, Senior 3 of Haiping Middle School. I’m writing to apply for the position to help the primary school students in our community. I am very good at mathematics, and I often make some micro-courses for primary school students. I plan to set up a micro-course, the name of which is “Mathematics in our daily life”. This course mainly introduces how to use math in everyday life so that primary school students can have a deeper understanding of the importance of mathematics through examples. The reason why this micro-course is set up is that many students are not interested in learning mathematics. What’s more, mathematics is rarely used in real life, so many people think that learning mathematics is meaningless. I hope this course can help more primary school students, and I also hope to get this opportunity to improve myself.

Intentional Travel for the Curious For those seeking a different adventure around every corner, the state of Florida doesn’t disappoint. Sun lovers will be fascinated by hundreds of miles of white-sand beaches 21 they can enjoy themselves in the rays and explore aquatic (水生的) life. Naturalists can get lost in ecological wonders 22 naturalists search the forests for local wildlife or hike some of the country’s most beautiful trails. No matter your passion, look no farther than the Sunshine State 23 (satisfy) your scientific and cultural curiosities. Do you want the perfect combination of excitement and relaxing breaks? 24 (locate) on Florida’s East Coast, Daytona Beach is full of things to do, places to see, and experiences of a lifetime. It is the ideal combination of physical and natural world 25 promises to make visitors return again and again. When it comes to Florida, people often think of the beaches — and Daytona Beach has some of the best.Daytona Beach 26 (bless) with 23 miles of beautiful white-sand beaches. This expansive stretch is one of the few places in the country that you 27 actually take a drive on the beach — an activity that all who visit Daytona Beach should entertain. Take in the sights and 28 (breathe) in the fresh air as you leisurely drive down the beach. Or park your car and grab a towel to be in the sun and perhaps enjoy 29 (explore) Daytona Beach’s offshore reef system. To experience more of the natural world,visit Blue Spring State Park.

Also, books about self-care often 31   many people’s shopping lists. On the 32 , it makes complete sense. Who wouldn’t like the idea of making oneself feel better and taking care of their mind, body and soul? Yet, we have to be careful not to view self-care as a cure-all solution to our problems. Self-care 33 without awareness of your specific needs and consistent (一致的) evaluation can cause emotional, financial, mental and physical consequences. According to Zishan Khan, a psychologist with Mindpath Health, self-care can lead to a person becoming frustrated when met with a sea of suggestions, which 34 everywhere from podcasts to self-help books. “So, don’t allow what others suggest to 35 your internal voice,” says Khan. “Self-care can only benefit a person if it’s consistent with their goals and values.” Khan further emphasizes the danger of uncontrolled physically-centered self-care advice, such as from influencers. “Their 36 often overly focuses on beauty and improving one’s looks. This can unintentionally lead to body image concern and thus actually worsen one’s mental health,” she says. Another danger can come when self-care actions reach the level of 37 , says Melissa Boudin, a psychologist of Choosing Therapy. “When you spend a large amount of time thinking about or practicing a certain self-care behavior, this may be that self-care has gone from beneficial to harmful,” she says, using the example of self-care through healthy eating and then going so far as to 38 an eating disorder. Lena Suarez-Angelino, a(n) 39 clinical social worker, has recommended creating a list of activities that make you feel better but don’t 40 you. Worthwhile and beneficial self-care may include anything from time with loved ones to walking. While self-care is important, it should not be overdone. III.Reading Comprehension (共45分。 41-45每题1分；56-70每题2分) Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A. B.C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context One summer midnight several years ago, standing outside a wooden cabin in Michigan River, I looked up. The sky was filled with thousands of stars, the sight of which was almost enough to make me, a non-believer, offer a word of 41 up into the star-filled sky. But to whom? Perhaps to Johan Eklof, author of The Darkness Manifesto. As a bat scientist, Eklof’s work on bats requires a specific kind of darkness—the 42 kind, unpolluted by light. But this category of darkness is 43 . In the 1980s, Eklof tells readers, two-thirds of the churches in Sweden’s southwest housed bat colonies. Not any longer. “Today, forty years later, research I’ve done with my colleagues shows that this number has been reduced by a third, 44 light pollution and other factors. Because the churches are all 45 like carnivals(嘉年华) in the night,” he writes. “We are surrounding ourselves with light.” Excess light is incredibly 46 to the complex eco-systems nocturnal (夜间活动的) animals inhabit. It 47 away the bats that Eklof studies. It frightens light-sensitive moths, leaving them easily 48 to predation(捕食) or flying endlessly into lights that will never return their love. Baby turtles crawl away from the shoreline toward the lights of distant coastal cities and reef fish eggs go unhatched. Birds do not migrate 49 and even they forget to sing. Modern advancements such as LED lights could significantly reduce some of the worst impacts, but they have not. At least, not yet. It is worth mentioning that middle-aged writer like Eklof can 50 for a darker world — for darkened campuses and unlit parking lots. But darkness is not safe for everyone. We need to address the social issues that make lighted places so 51 in the first place. The bottom line: We can change if we want to. Some of the solutions to light pollution— motion-detecting lights, shielded lights that do not 52 light upward, artificial light with wavelengths that is similar to natural light—are already within our grasp, if we just 53 them. “We could just turn it all off, but I guess we don’t want to,” said Eklof in a recent interview. “ 54 , it’s vital we find a middle way.” Right now it is hard to know what that middle way might look like. In 50 years, every city could be equipped with an array of programmed and 55 low-impact LED lights. Or we might have completely forgotten what darkness is—the sky filled with little moons. 41．A．honour B．gratitude C．optimism D．determination 42．A．artificial B．brilliant C．faint D．absolute 43．A．achieved B．distracted C．enhanced D．threatened 44．A．resulting from B．bringing about C．judging by D．contributing to 45．A．decorated B．restored C．lit D．faded 46．A．effective B．sensitive C．positive D．destructive 47．A．scares B．blows C．pulls D．turns 48．A．accustomed B．subject C．available D．restricted 49．A．on duty B．in turn C．on time D．in public 50．A．stimulate B．advocate C．negotiate D．account 51．A．challenging B．appealing C．demanding D．outstanding 52．A．absorb B．stretch C．transform D．reflect 53．A．reach for B．apply to C．long for D．adapt to 54．A．Therefore B．Furthermore C．However D．Instead 55．A．fundamentally B．scientifically C．environmentally D．economically Section B Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) Life is like a roller coaster; every point has ups and downs. The truly victorious people stay committed to their broad goals even in unplanned circumstances. One true example of such people comes from a woman passionate about spreading happiness and helping others. Nicole Thornes is a mother, a former police officer, and now serving society as a death doula. Believing small efforts could comfort individuals and unite society, Nicole thought a police officer had the opportunity to prevent crime, bring justice and create a better society for everyone. She was determined to become a police officer to protect life and bring prosperity. All her passion and motivation drove her to pursue a Criminal Justice degree to become a police officer. Although she became a mother during her studies, she didn’t give up on her passion. Nicole could have called off her studies, but her passion for serving society didn’t let her step down. She took a break from her studies when her kids needed more attention but later came back to continue her study and completed her degree. Nicole finally became a police officer and everything went according to her plans. But uncertainty put her in a challenging situation. Nicole suffered from an injury. The sudden medical retirement called off her journey as a police officer, but her dreams and passion did not let her stop. So, she became a death doula, allowing her to be there for people whenever needed and provide comfort to the dying and their families during difficult times. She chose this field after her grandfather’s death. She couldn’t bear the pain of losing him; therefore, she decided to become a death doula and contribute her services to help those suffering from the pain of losing their loved ones. Nicole Thornes has written her book, Daddy’s Home, covering true events of losing someone and inspiring readers to cope with the feelings of emptiness and recover from mental illness after losing someone close. Daddy’s Home inspires readers and tells them the importance of a new beginning, helping people lighten the burden from their chest after the grief of losing someone. 56．What can be learned about Nicole Thornes?

First: you must be aware that, as of today, running a local independent shop is anything but simple. Second: you must know which is the most responsive area of the city for what concerns your specific business. Or as an alternative, you must gain full knowledge of which areas have proved to be super high-paying basically for any kind of business. As for London, everybody knows that it is one of the world capitals of trading and commerce. The enormous number of residents, combined with the continuous inflow of tourists, makes it a highly wanted city for every kind of commercial activity. Clearly, everyone — whether he/she is a British citizen or a foreigner investor — who wants to start a business in London must detect first the most profitable areas. And the four most appealing ones are listed below. Covent Garden Opening a commercial space in Covent Garden, or in the West End in general, is always a winning idea. This area represents the perfect balance between luxury and sustainability. A band of musicians that never cease to attract both clients and new investors. Carnaby For over sixty years, Carnaby Street and the other surrounding secondary roads have represented an authentic oasis or paradise for those who want to go shopping in London. First, the Swinging London vibe, then the punk rock revolution: everything — especially in terms of fashion — has been created or passed through there. And even in the Third Millennium, it remains a landmark for everything related to fashion and new trends. Mayfair Are you planning to open a luxury shop? Then Mayfair is undoubtedly your spot. Renting a place here is highly expensive, but it’s a risk worth taking. If you play your cards wisely, profits will not be long in coming. The only question is: have you got enough funds to start a business in such an expensive area? Bond Street Another luxury area with a gathering of many established high-end brands, maybe the most complicated one. It is recommended only to those investors who aim to start a real first-rate business. Many small entrepreneurs or businessmen work a lifetime in order to gain the privilege or the great advantage of upgrading their business in this area. 60．This article is intended for ______. A．British citizens who want to buy luxury goods B．visitors looking for recreational activities in Britain C．investors interested in starting a business in London D．foreigners participating in commercial activities in London 61．According to the article, if you are planning to do business in London, which factor is worth considering the most? A．London appeals to high-paying investors from all over the world. B．London is the most promising center for trading, commerce and fashion. C．London is where many landmark buildings and every kind of business lies. D．London boasts ongoing floods of tourists and enormous potential consumers. 62．If you get enough funds and fancy opening a luxury shop, which is the last area to choose? A．Bond Street. B．Carnaby. C．Mayfair. D．Convent Garden. (C) It’s 2076 and the skies are looking decidedly milky. On windy plains and in parts of the seas that have been turned over to wind farms, a different kind of tower has been built alongside the turbines (涡轮). They take in CO2 out of the atmosphere. Vast parcels of land have been given over to forest. Trees are grown, harvested and burned for energy in power plants that don’t let CO2 escape to the atmosphere. Instead, emissions are captured and driven underground. Powdered minerals are put into the water to absorb CO2 and reduce ocean acidification. All these technologies are a desperate action to reverse more than two centuries of greenhouse gas emissions. But they are not entirely up to the task and, anyway, we are still releasing greenhouse gases. “I think it’s very likely that in 60 years we’ll be using both technologies,” says John Shepherd of the University of Southampton, UK. He is referring to the two flavors of geoengineering: absorbing CO2 out of the air and using a sunshade to reflect some of the sun’s rays back out into space. There is no denying that climate talks are going too slowly and not so smoothly. Even if industrial emissions were to drop rapidly — a big if — some sections pose an intractable problem. We have no real replacement for aeroplane fuel and feeding people demands intensive agriculture, which accounts for a quarter of global emissions. Computer models suggest there will be winners and losers. While a sunshade could lower global average temperatures to pre-industrial levels, there would be regional differences. Northern Europe, Canada, Siberia and the poles would remain warmer than they were, and temperatures over the oceans would be cooler. Global warming is predicted to make wet regions wetter and dry ones drier. Models suggest a sunshade would correct this, but, again, not in a uniform way. Shepherd fears all this will feed into international arguments. He imagines some kind of global council where governments seek a climate that meets their needs. Some might prefer a slightly warmer temperature, for tourism or agriculture. But nations whose coral reefs (珊瑚礁) draw in visitors will probably want more CO2 absorbing technologies. In spite of all these concerns, most scientists hold that revolutionary technology and people’s awakening can shine a light on solutions in ways that are impossible now. There is undoubtedly a long way to go when we address problems facing mankind, but we can always anticipate something. 63．What is described in the first paragraph? A．Future scenery and farming methods. B．The development of transport technology. C．The serious pollution problem in the very near future. D．Future technologies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. 64．The word “intractable” in paragraph 4 most probably means “______”. A．solvable B．untypical C．tricky D．existing 65．It can be inferred from the passage that ______. A．climate talks haven’t achieved the expected results B．industrial emissions will decrease greatly in 60 years C．technologies to reduce CO2 emission aren’t used properly for now D．sunshades outshine intensive agriculture at capturing CO2 emissions 66．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Effective CO2 absorbing technologies have come into wide use. B．With greenhouse gas reduced, global warming can be addressed. C．Future climate will improve with human efforts but threats still remain. D．Future climate will restore to a normal state with advanced technology. Section C Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need. As a botanists who studies our cultural relationship with plants, I am forever fascinated with what draws people to gardening. Admittedly, connecting with the natural world might seem like an obvious motivation, and undoubtedly it is a key part of the attraction. 67 If they were, we’d abandon any attempts at design, planting or care and watch how walls of weeds slowly gave way to the mass of bushes. But that wouldn’t be gardening, of course, because for all their diversity, the one thing that all gardens have in common is how unnatural they are. 68 Dazzling plants, watch features and glorious blooms is all interconnected well beyond what would naturally occur. Whether it is green lawns created in the driest deserts or a tropical paradise on a stormy North Atlantic island, they are all about shaping the natural world to fit our idea of what it “ should” be. As I work on my tiny terrariums (玻璃花园) on dark February nights, something magical happens to my brain. 69 In a world that has become increasingly uncertain, people are often fuelled by the same psychological desire: the instinctive need to have a bit of control amid chaos. As our world becomes more and more unpredictable and often frightening, gardening seems to be able to appeal to and reach out to a whole new generation, often against all odds. Of course, gardening in’ t the only thing people turn to. The rise of culture conflicts and fix at ion on body image have also been widely documented as being driven by a psychological need to feel a degree of certainty, control and safety. However, I can’t help but think of these alternatives: 70 A．In reality gardens are anything but natural. B．What are the things they have been attracted to? C．They are idealized landscape with all the mud, pests and dead plants edited out. D．How much better a place the planet would be if gardening was our outlet for this need! E．Much like agriculture, gardening is a universal human desire coded into our cultural DNA． F．The calmness created by owning a tiny green space under my control has a powerful effect on my mind. IV.Summary Writing (共10分） Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point( s)of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. Kangaroos can “talk” to us Kangaroos can “talk” to people, according to a new study. The report is the first research of its kind to be done on marsupials—a type of creature whose young get carried in skin pockets on their mother’s body. It suggests kangaroos are cleverer than previously thought. Researchers from the University of Roehampton in the UK and the University of Sydney in Australia tested kangaroos at the Australian Reptile (爬行动物) Park, Wildlife Sydney Zoo and Kangaroo Protection Co-operative. The scientists put food in a box that the kangaroos could not open, and waited to see what the animals would do. Rather than giving up, 10 out of the 11 kangaroos actively looked at the person who had put the food in the box and then looked at the box. The researchers said this could be interpreted as the kangaroos requesting help to open the container. Dr Alexandra Green, a co-author of the study, told The Guardian newspaper that some of the kangaroos actually approached the person and started scratching (挠) and sniffing (嗅) him, then looked back at the box. “So they were really trying to communicate,” Green said. This behaviour is not uncommon in animals. However, it is usually only seen in domesticated animals, such as pets or farm animals. The lead author of the study, Dr Alan McElligott, explained, “Through this study, we were able to see that communication between creatures can be learnt and that the behaviour of looking at humans to access food is not related to domestication. “Indeed, kangaroos showed a very similar pattern of behaviour we have seen in dogs, horses and even goats, when put to the same test,” he added. It is hoped that the study will give people a more positive attitude towards kangaroos, which are sometimes seen as harmful creatures that damage farmers’ crops. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ V.Translation (共15分。第1小题和第2小题,每题3分;第3题4分;第4题5分。) Directions:Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets 72．你要学会用具体的例子来更清晰地阐述你的观点。(quote)(汉译英) 73．这部新片取材于老百姓的日常生活，所以很受欢迎。(anchor) (汉译英) 74．帮助孩子学会解决传统习俗和现代技术之间的冲突是有挑战性的，但这是一项孩子必须掌握的技能。(grasp) (汉译英) 75．成功人士都有一个共同点：尽管历经可怕的挫折，他们依然对生活抱以积极的态度，并凭着顽强的意志力实现自己的理想。(What) (汉译英) VI.Guided Writing (共25分) 76．Directions: Write an English composition in 120-150 words according to the instructions given below in Chinese. 假设你是海平中学高三学生李明，你所在的社区将在暑假开设面向小学生的日间托管服务，现招募社区高中生志愿者，要求每一位志愿者能根据自己的特长开设一门微课程。请写一封应聘信(信中请不要出现真实的个人信息)，信的内容须包括： 1)简单的自我介绍； 2)你准备开设的微课程的名称和主要内容； 3)你开设这门微课程的理由。 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null2025年高考第一次模拟考试(上海专用)01 英语:答题卡 姓名: 准考证号 条 码 粘 贴 处 缺考标记 注意事项 □ 1. 答题前,考生先将自己的姓名、准考证号码填写清楚 。 考生禁止填涂 3. 选择题必须使用2B铅笔填涂:非选择题必须用0.5毫米黑色字迹的签字笔填写,字体工整。 请将准考证条码粘贴在右侧的[条码粘贴处]的方框内。 缺考标记!只 能由监考老师 4. 请按题号顺序在各题的答题区内作答,超出范围的答案无效,在草纸、试卷上作答无效。 5. 负责用愿色字 保持卡面清洁,不要折叠、不要弄破、弄皱,不准使用涂改液、刮纸刀。 6. 填涂样例 迹的签字笔填 正确 []错误 [--]][*] 选择题(请用2B铅笔填涂 6.|A11B]|C]1D] 1.1A][B11C1ID] 11.[A]|B]|C1[D] 16.|A]IB]|C1[D] 7.[A]IB11C1ID1 12.|A][B|IC1ID] 17.[A][B1[C][D] 8.IA1IB11C1ID1 13.|A11B11C1ID1 18.|AIIB11C1ID1 9.1A11B11C11D1 14.J|A1|B1|C1|D] 19.|A1IB1IC1ID] 10.

Intentional Travel for the Curious For those seeking a different adventure around every corner, the state of Florida doesn’t disappoint. Sun lovers will be fascinated by hundreds of miles of white-sand beaches 21 they can enjoy themselves in the rays and explore aquatic (水生的) life. Naturalists can get lost in ecological wonders 22 naturalists search the forests for local wildlife or hike some of the country’s most beautiful trails. No matter your passion, look no farther than the Sunshine State 23 (satisfy) your scientific and cultural curiosities. Do you want the perfect combination of excitement and relaxing breaks? 24 (locate) on Florida’s East Coast, Daytona Beach is full of things to do, places to see, and experiences of a lifetime. It is the ideal combination of physical and natural world 25 promises to make visitors return again and again. When it comes to Florida, people often think of the beaches — and Daytona Beach has some of the best.Daytona Beach 26 (bless) with 23 miles of beautiful white-sand beaches. This expansive stretch is one of the few places in the country that you 27 actually take a drive on the beach — an activity that all who visit Daytona Beach should entertain. Take in the sights and 28 (breathe) in the fresh air as you leisurely drive down the beach. Or park your car and grab a towel to be in the sun and perhaps enjoy 29 (explore) Daytona Beach’s offshore reef system. To experience more of the natural world,visit Blue Spring State Park. It is where hundreds of manatees (海牛) seek warm-water shelter from late fall through early spring. Want more exposure to aquatic animals?

Also, books about self-care often 31   many people’s shopping lists. On the 32 , it makes complete sense. Who wouldn’t like the idea of making oneself feel better and taking care of their mind, body and soul? Yet, we have to be careful not to view self-care as a cure-all solution to our problems. Self-care 33 without awareness of your specific needs and consistent (一致的) evaluation can cause emotional, financial, mental and physical consequences. According to Zishan Khan, a psychologist with Mindpath Health, self-care can lead to a person becoming frustrated when met with a sea of suggestions, which 34 everywhere from podcasts to self-help books. “So, don’t allow what others suggest to 35 your internal voice,” says Khan. “Self-care can only benefit a person if it’s consistent with their goals and values.” Khan further emphasizes the danger of uncontrolled physically-centered self-care advice, such as from influencers. “Their 36 often overly focuses on beauty and improving one’s looks. This can unintentionally lead to body image concern and thus actually worsen one’s mental health,” she says. Another danger can come when self-care actions reach the level of 37 , says Melissa Boudin, a psychologist of Choosing Therapy. “When you spend a large amount of time thinking about or practicing a certain self-care behavior, this may be that self-care has gone from beneficial to harmful,” she says, using the example of self-care through healthy eating and then going so far as to 38 an eating disorder. Lena Suarez-Angelino, a(n) 39 clinical social worker, has recommended creating a list of activities that make you feel better but don’t 40 you. Worthwhile and beneficial self-care may include anything from time with loved ones to walking. While self-care is important, it should not be overdone. III.Reading Comprehension (共45分。 41-45每题1分；56-70每题2分) Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A. B.C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context One summer midnight several years ago, standing outside a wooden cabin in Michigan River, I looked up. The sky was filled with thousands of stars, the sight of which was almost enough to make me, a non-believer, offer a word of 41 up into the star-filled sky. But to whom? Perhaps to Johan Eklof, author of The Darkness Manifesto. As a bat scientist, Eklof’s work on bats requires a specific kind of darkness—the 42 kind, unpolluted by light. But this category of darkness is 43 . In the 1980s, Eklof tells readers, two-thirds of the churches in Sweden’s southwest housed bat colonies. Not any longer. “Today, forty years later, research I’ve done with my colleagues shows that this number has been reduced by a third, 44 light pollution and other factors. Because the churches are all 45 like carnivals(嘉年华) in the night,” he writes. “We are surrounding ourselves with light.” Excess light is incredibly 46 to the complex eco-systems nocturnal (夜间活动的) animals inhabit. It 47 away the bats that Eklof studies. It frightens light-sensitive moths, leaving them easily 48 to predation(捕食) or flying endlessly into lights that will never return their love. Baby turtles crawl away from the shoreline toward the lights of distant coastal cities and reef fish eggs go unhatched. Birds do not migrate 49 and even they forget to sing. Modern advancements such as LED lights could significantly reduce some of the worst impacts, but they have not. At least, not yet. It is worth mentioning that middle-aged writer like Eklof can 50 for a darker world — for darkened campuses and unlit parking lots. But darkness is not safe for everyone. We need to address the social issues that make lighted places so 51 in the first place. The bottom line: We can change if we want to. Some of the solutions to light pollution— motion-detecting lights, shielded lights that do not 52 light upward, artificial light with wavelengths that is similar to natural light—are already within our grasp, if we just 53 them. “We could just turn it all off, but I guess we don’t want to,” said Eklof in a recent interview. “ 54 , it’s vital we find a middle way.” Right now it is hard to know what that middle way might look like. In 50 years, every city could be equipped with an array of programmed and 55 low-impact LED lights. Or we might have completely forgotten what darkness is—the sky filled with little moons. 41．A．honour B．gratitude C．optimism D．determination 42．A．artificial B．brilliant C．faint D．absolute 43．A．achieved B．distracted C．enhanced D．threatened 44．A．resulting from B．bringing about C．judging by D．contributing to 45．A．decorated B．restored C．lit D．faded 46．A．effective B．sensitive C．positive D．destructive 47．A．scares B．blows C．pulls D．turns 48．A．accustomed B．subject C．available D．restricted 49．A．on duty B．in turn C．on time D．in public 50．A．stimulate B．advocate C．negotiate D．account 51．A．challenging B．appealing C．demanding D．outstanding 52．A．absorb B．stretch C．transform D．reflect 53．A．reach for B．apply to C．long for D．adapt to 54．A．Therefore B．Furthermore C．However D．Instead 55．A．fundamentally B．scientifically C．environmentally D．economically Section B Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) Life is like a roller coaster; every point has ups and downs. The truly victorious people stay committed to their broad goals even in unplanned circumstances. One true example of such people comes from a woman passionate about spreading happiness and helping others. Nicole Thornes is a mother, a former police officer, and now serving society as a death doula. Believing small efforts could comfort individuals and unite society, Nicole thought a police officer had the opportunity to prevent crime, bring justice and create a better society for everyone. She was determined to become a police officer to protect life and bring prosperity. All her passion and motivation drove her to pursue a Criminal Justice degree to become a police officer. Although she became a mother during her studies, she didn’t give up on her passion. Nicole could have called off her studies, but her passion for serving society didn’t let her step down. She took a break from her studies when her kids needed more attention but later came back to continue her study and completed her degree. Nicole finally became a police officer and everything went according to her plans. But uncertainty put her in a challenging situation. Nicole suffered from an injury. The sudden medical retirement called off her journey as a police officer, but her dreams and passion did not let her stop. So, she became a death doula, allowing her to be there for people whenever needed and provide comfort to the dying and their families during difficult times. She chose this field after her grandfather’s death. She couldn’t bear the pain of losing him; therefore, she decided to become a death doula and contribute her services to help those suffering from the pain of losing their loved ones. Nicole Thornes has written her book, Daddy’s Home, covering true events of losing someone and inspiring readers to cope with the feelings of emptiness and recover from mental illness after losing someone close. Daddy’s Home inspires readers and tells them the importance of a new beginning, helping people lighten the burden from their chest after the grief of losing someone. 56．What can be learned about Nicole Thornes? A．Nicole Thornes dreamed of becoming a police officer since she was born. B．Nicole Thornes pursued a Criminal Justice degree, but she gave up halfway. C．Nicole Thornes took up a writing career immediately after getting physically hurt. D．Nicole Thornes wrote a book, impressing on readers the significance of a new start. 57．What’s the direct cause of Nicole Thornes’ decision to become a death doula? A．The unbearable pain brought by her grandfather’s death. B．Her break from academic studies to take care of her kids. C．Her sudden medical retirement due to her incurable injury. D．Her determination to finish writing her book, Daddy’s Home. 58．According to the story of Nicole Thornes, a death doula can be described as ______. A．a death fighter B．a special trainer C．a support giver D．a creative police officer 59．What might be the best title for this article? A．Nicole Thornes and her dream B．The ups and downs of Nicole Thornes C．Nicole Thornes: The writer of Daddy’s Home D．Nicole Thornes: The journey from a police officer to a death doula (B) Do you want to open a shop in London? First: you must be aware that, as of today, running a local independent shop is anything but simple. Second: you must know which is the most responsive area of the city for what concerns your specific business. Or as an alternative, you must gain full knowledge of which areas have proved to be super high-paying basically for any kind of business. As for London, everybody knows that it is one of the world capitals of trading and commerce. The enormous number of residents, combined with the continuous inflow of tourists, makes it a highly wanted city for every kind of commercial activity. Clearly, everyone — whether he/she is a British citizen or a foreigner investor — who wants to start a business in London must detect first the most profitable areas. And the four most appealing ones are listed below. Covent Garden Opening a commercial space in Covent Garden, or in the West End in general, is always a winning idea. This area represents the perfect balance between luxury and sustainability. A band of musicians that never cease to attract both clients and new investors. Carnaby For over sixty years, Carnaby Street and the other surrounding secondary roads have represented an authentic oasis or paradise for those who want to go shopping in London. First, the Swinging London vibe, then the punk rock revolution: everything — especially in terms of fashion — has been created or passed through there. And even in the Third Millennium, it remains a landmark for everything related to fashion and new trends. Mayfair Are you planning to open a luxury shop? Then Mayfair is undoubtedly your spot. Renting a place here is highly expensive, but it’s a risk worth taking. If you play your cards wisely, profits will not be long in coming. The only question is: have you got enough funds to start a business in such an expensive area? Bond Street Another luxury area with a gathering of many established high-end brands, maybe the most complicated one. It is recommended only to those investors who aim to start a real first-rate business. Many small entrepreneurs or businessmen work a lifetime in order to gain the privilege or the great advantage of upgrading their business in this area. 60．This article is intended for ______. A．British citizens who want to buy luxury goods B．visitors looking for recreational activities in Britain C．investors interested in starting a business in London D．foreigners participating in commercial activities in London 61．According to the article, if you are planning to do business in London, which factor is worth considering the most? A．London appeals to high-paying investors from all over the world. B．London is the most promising center for trading, commerce and fashion. C．London is where many landmark buildings and every kind of business lies. D．London boasts ongoing floods of tourists and enormous potential consumers. 62．If you get enough funds and fancy opening a luxury shop, which is the last area to choose? A．Bond Street. B．Carnaby. C．Mayfair. D．Convent Garden. (C) It’s 2076 and the skies are looking decidedly milky. On windy plains and in parts of the seas that have been turned over to wind farms, a different kind of tower has been built alongside the turbines (涡轮). They take in CO2 out of the atmosphere. Vast parcels of land have been given over to forest. Trees are grown, harvested and burned for energy in power plants that don’t let CO2 escape to the atmosphere. Instead, emissions are captured and driven underground. Powdered minerals are put into the water to absorb CO2 and reduce ocean acidification. All these technologies are a desperate action to reverse more than two centuries of greenhouse gas emissions. But they are not entirely up to the task and, anyway, we are still releasing greenhouse gases. “I think it’s very likely that in 60 years we’ll be using both technologies,” says John Shepherd of the University of Southampton, UK. He is referring to the two flavors of geoengineering: absorbing CO2 out of the air and using a sunshade to reflect some of the sun’s rays back out into space. There is no denying that climate talks are going too slowly and not so smoothly. Even if industrial emissions were to drop rapidly — a big if — some sections pose an intractable problem. We have no real replacement for aeroplane fuel and feeding people demands intensive agriculture, which accounts for a quarter of global emissions. Computer models suggest there will be winners and losers. While a sunshade could lower global average temperatures to pre-industrial levels, there would be regional differences. Northern Europe, Canada, Siberia and the poles would remain warmer than they were, and temperatures over the oceans would be cooler. Global warming is predicted to make wet regions wetter and dry ones drier. Models suggest a sunshade would correct this, but, again, not in a uniform way. Shepherd fears all this will feed into international arguments. He imagines some kind of global council where governments seek a climate that meets their needs. Some might prefer a slightly warmer temperature, for tourism or agriculture. But nations whose coral reefs (珊瑚礁) draw in visitors will probably want more CO2 absorbing technologies. In spite of all these concerns, most scientists hold that revolutionary technology and people’s awakening can shine a light on solutions in ways that are impossible now. There is undoubtedly a long way to go when we address problems facing mankind, but we can always anticipate something. 63．What is described in the first paragraph? A．Future scenery and farming methods. B．The development of transport technology. C．The serious pollution problem in the very near future. D．Future technologies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. 64．The word “intractable” in paragraph 4 most probably means “______”. A．solvable B．untypical C．tricky D．existing 65．It can be inferred from the passage that ______. A．climate talks haven’t achieved the expected results B．industrial emissions will decrease greatly in 60 years C．technologies to reduce CO2 emission aren’t used properly for now D．sunshades outshine intensive agriculture at capturing CO2 emissions 66．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Effective CO2 absorbing technologies have come into wide use. B．With greenhouse gas reduced, global warming can be addressed. C．Future climate will improve with human efforts but threats still remain. D．Future climate will restore to a normal state with advanced technology.

As a botanists who studies our cultural relationship with plants, I am forever fascinated with what draws people to gardening. Admittedly, connecting with the natural world might seem like an obvious motivation, and undoubtedly it is a key part of the attraction. 67 If they were, we’d abandon any attempts at design, planting or care and watch how walls of weeds slowly gave way to the mass of bushes. But that wouldn’t be gardening, of course, because for all their diversity, the one thing that all gardens have in common is how unnatural they are. 68 Dazzling plants, watch features and glorious blooms is all interconnected well beyond what would naturally occur. Whether it is green lawns created in the driest deserts or a tropical paradise on a stormy North Atlantic island, they are all about shaping the natural world to fit our idea of what it “ should” be. As I work on my tiny terrariums (玻璃花园) on dark February nights, something magical happens to my brain. 69 In a world that has become increasingly uncertain, people are often fuelled by the same psychological desire: the instinctive need to have a bit of control amid chaos. As our world becomes more and more unpredictable and often frightening, gardening seems to be able to appeal to and reach out to a whole new generation, often against all odds. Of course, gardening in’ t the only thing people turn to. The rise of culture conflicts and fix at ion on body image have also been widely documented as being driven by a psychological need to feel a degree of certainty, control and safety. However, I can’t help but think of these alternatives: 70 A．In reality gardens are anything but natural. B．What are the things they have been attracted to? C．They are idealized landscape with all the mud, pests and dead plants edited out. D．How much better a place the planet would be if gardening was our outlet for this need! E．Much like agriculture, gardening is a universal human desire coded into our cultural DNA． F．The calmness created by owning a tiny green space under my control has a powerful effect on my mind.

Kangaroos can “talk” to us Kangaroos can “talk” to people, according to a new study. The report is the first research of its kind to be done on marsupials—a type of creature whose young get carried in skin pockets on their mother’s body. It suggests kangaroos are cleverer than previously thought. Researchers from the University of Roehampton in the UK and the University of Sydney in Australia tested kangaroos at the Australian Reptile (爬行动物) Park, Wildlife Sydney Zoo and Kangaroo Protection Co-operative. The scientists put food in a box that the kangaroos could not open, and waited to see what the animals would do. Rather than giving up, 10 out of the 11 kangaroos actively looked at the person who had put the food in the box and then looked at the box. The researchers said this could be interpreted as the kangaroos requesting help to open the container. Dr Alexandra Green, a co-author of the study, told The Guardian newspaper that some of the kangaroos actually approached the person and started scratching (挠) and sniffing (嗅) him, then looked back at the box. “So they were really trying to communicate,” Green said. This behaviour is not uncommon in animals. However, it is usually only seen in domesticated animals, such as pets or farm animals. The lead author of the study, Dr Alan McElligott, explained, “Through this study, we were able to see that communication between creatures can be learnt and that the behaviour of looking at humans to access food is not related to domestication. “Indeed, kangaroos showed a very similar pattern of behaviour we have seen in dogs, horses and even goats, when put to the same test,” he added. It is hoped that the study will give people a more positive attitude towards kangaroos, which are sometimes seen as harmful creatures that damage farmers’ crops. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ V.Translation (共15分。第1小题和第2小题,每题3分;第3题4分;第4题5分。) Directions:Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets 72．你要学会用具体的例子来更清晰地阐述你的观点。(quote)(汉译英) 73．这部新片取材于老百姓的日常生活，所以很受欢迎。(anchor) (汉译英) 74．帮助孩子学会解决传统习俗和现代技术之间的冲突是有挑战性的，但这是一项孩子必须掌握的技能。(grasp) (汉译英) 75．成功人士都有一个共同点：尽管历经可怕的挫折，他们依然对生活抱以积极的态度，并凭着顽强的意志力实现自己的理想。(What) (汉译英) VI.Guided Writing (共25分) 76．Directions: Write an English composition in 120-150 words according to the instructions given below in Chinese. 假设你是海平中学高三学生李明，你所在的社区将在暑假开设面向小学生的日间托管服务，现招募社区高中生志愿者，要求每一位志愿者能根据自己的特长开设一门微课程。请写一封应聘信(信中请不要出现真实的个人信息)，信的内容须包括： 1)简单的自我介绍； 2)你准备开设的微课程的名称和主要内容； 3)你开设这门微课程的理由。 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试题 第7页（共8页） 试题 第8页（共8页） 试题 第5页（共8页） 试题 第6页（共8页） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
