We’ll be updating this page with more as they are announced. ALSO Festival Talk tents are pretty much a given at this festival. There will be around 300 inspiring events across 4 stages ranging from comedy to talks from respected speakers. There will be a whole load of delicious food traders to choose from, too. Required wear: Reading glasses and Docs. Boardmasters It’s a festival of surfing and music set against Newquay’s attractive coastline. A beach restaurant hosts DJ sets and parties each day. Plus, there’s a strong focus on sustainability and well-being, with yoga classes and a pop-up “eco spa” where you can relax with sea views. Required wear: Hawaiian shirt and your fashionable swimsuit. Field Maneuvers With a capacity of only 700 people, Field Maneuvers feels more like a private party than a festival. But with good sound systems and really good DJs, it’s got a real community feel, so you can expect to come away with new friends as well as aching feet from all that dancing. Required wear: Smiley face T-shirt. Isle of Wight Festival This festival has since built itself a fresh reputation for properly crowd-pleasing line-ups packed with huge household names. With tickets for kids aged five to twelve priced at just £5.00, and under-fours going free, it’s easy to see why it’s become a truly multi-generational affair. Required wear: Hat and sunscreen.

B Due to the rising cost of rent and seemingly endless loan payments, a growing number of families are living in recreational vehicles and restored school buses. Some retirees are choosing to spend most of the year on cruise ships. But one teenager in Germany has decided to take advantage of his country’s rail system, and has begun living on trains full-time. Lasse Stolley is a 17-year-old German software developer who spends his mornings grabbing breakfast inside the first-class lounge and his evenings in sleeping cars. He showers in gyms and leisure areas, and washes his clothes at train stations. He fits all of his possessions into a single backpack, including three sets of clothes, hygiene supplies, sleeping necessities, and technology. The teenager has been living this way since he was 16, when he graduated from high school. He says that originally convincing his parents was a struggle, but eventually they let him go. At first, Stolley had trouble sleeping on the train. And he also had to be careful to make sure his belongings didn’t get stolen at night. But after the first couple of months, he was able to settle into a routine and thoroughly enjoy himself. Lasse Stolley obtained a BahnCard 100 card, allowing him to board and depart from any Deutsche Bahn unlimitedly. It costs Stolley approximately €10, 000 per year. Since a month’s worth of rent in Germany costs €942 on average, train life is an appealing option for a young adult with dreams of travelling. However, Stolley says the best part is the freedom of not being bound to one place. He is able to take impromptu day trips. On an average day, Stolley can travel over 600 miles. Now he has travelled to more countries than many people ever will in their lifetime, and he shows no signs of stopping anytime soon. 24. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about Stolley? A. His activity venues. B. His work schedules. C. His basic necessities. D. His life arrangements. 25. What can be inferred about Stolley from paragraph 3? A. He once had his backpack stolen. B. He initially had a tough time on trains. C. He didn’t get permission from his parents. D. He packed his belongings in several bags. 26. What’s the most attractive to Stolley about his train life? A. Heavily discounted fares. B. The flexibility of remote work. C. More chances to make new friends. D. The freedom to go where he wants. 27. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To appeal for low house prices. B. To introduce an unusual lifestyle. C. To promote the spirit of adventure. D. To explain the benefits of train travel. C Sports have got more and more environmentally friendly, whether it’s by reducing plastic waste at venues, or producing medals with recycled materials. But SpoGomi, a competitive sport, is devoted to directly helping the planet. The name “SpoGomi” comes from “sports” and “gomi”, which means “refuse” in Japanese. Japan created SpoGomi in 2008 as a way to promote refuse collection and has organized an annual competition since then. Now supported by the Nippon Foundation, the sport is so popular that there are competitions around the world, including the first SpoGomi World Cup, which was held in Japan in November 2023. Teams from 21 countries selected through preliminary competitions competed, with the UK team coming out in first place. SpoGomi has a whole set of rules. Generally, teams are made up of three to five members who have to collect as much refuse as possible within a specified area and time limit. The most common duration is an hour for picking up refuse plus another 20 minutes to correctly sort it. There are other rules set up — from safety rules like being prohibited from picking up litter near roads or railway tracks to sportsmanship rules like respecting the players in other teams. Points are awarded for every 100 grains of litter collected, with teams earning 10 points for burnable or unburnable waste. 12 points for glass bottles and metal cans, 25 points for PET bottles, and 150 points for cigarette butts. The team with the most litter wins. If one team ties with another, the team with more points will be the winner. In the end, all participants can be bathed in the pride of making the environment just a little bit cleaner and healthier. Udagawa Takayasu, a spokesperson for the Nippon Foundation, claims, “Although our team could not win in the preliminary tournament held last weekend, the city became markedly cleaner. That’s what I’m proud of. ” 28. What do we know about SpoGomi? A. It catches on very well. B. It is held every other year. C. It sets age limits on competitors D. It takes place only in rural areas. 29. How is the winner determined in case of a tie? A. By the diversity of garbage. B. By the time they spend. C. By the points they earn. D. By the total weight of litter. 30. Why is Udagawa Takayasu mentioned in the last paragraph? A. To highlight his influence. B. To praise all the organizers. C. To show his good mentality. D. To prove the author’s point. 31. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Sports: A Driving Force for Clean Environment B. SpoGomi: A Competitive Sport for Litter Picking C. Japan: The Host of the First SpoGomi World Cups D. Britain: The Winner of the First SpoGomi World Cup D Colleges and universities across the US have seen a decades-long push for scholars to carry out multidisciplinary research — academic work that combines experts from different fields who mix know how to work on a certain topic. Recently researchers from Kansas University sought to characterize multidisciplinary research that took place over one decade in the field of psychology. Graduate student Yoshiaki Fujita and Michael Vitevitch, professor and chair of psychology at KU, have published their findings in the journal Humanities and Social Sciences Communications. Using network analyses, the pair examined articles for the years 2008-2018 listed in the Social Sciences Citation Index database of the Web of Science, under the subject category of “Psychology, Multidisciplinary”. They found just 25% of citations from articles in these journals referenced research published in fields outside psychology. “We were a little staggered to find out even though there are these calls to become more and more multidisciplinary, we’re still really not,” Vitevitch said. “When you look at psychology journals identified as multidisciplinary — they should be reaching out the most to other fields — only about 25% of their citations were to journals from other fields. Half were to other psychology journals, and 25% were to other multidisciplinary psychology journals.” Fujita and Vitevitch found some topics in psychology attracted multidisciplinary work steadily throughout the decades — such as those relating to physical and mental health — while the percentage of multidisciplinary research for other topics would rise and fall. They looked at topics people were investigating to discover what themes people were studying in this multidisciplinary fashion, and whether there are areas that are really hot and areas that have sort of died off. The information provided by the network analyses may be useful not only for individual researchers looking for new research questions, but also for academic or research administrators who want to boost multidisciplinary scholarship. Furthermore, the researchers’ approach should also be effective in measuring multidisciplinary research in other fields besides psychology. 32. What does the study focus on? A. The type of articles that were highly cited. B. The frequency of the citations to published articles. C. The extent to which psychology is multidisciplinary. D. The number of multidisciplinary psychology journals 33. What does the underlined word “staggered” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Excited. B. Confident. C. Astonished. D. Proud. 34. What do the researchers intend to do by studying the article topics? A. Diversify research themes. B. Know the author’s preferences. C. Assess the quality of the papers. D. Identify promising multidisciplinary topics. 35. What might the author of the text continue talking about? A. The application of network analyses to other subjects B. The impact of this study on psychology research. C. The gaps of multidisciplinary research. D. The limitations of the study approach. 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。 You’ve probably been told not to talk to strangers, but it can be really rewarding to communicate with people you don’t know. ___36___, not to mention improving your conversational skills.

I was eight, and it was my birthday. I was told to make a list of two or three friends who’d enjoy the water theme park in nearby Tampa, Florida. Since we didn’t have any spare money, the trip would be a packed lunch and no extras. I didn’t care - I was getting a special treat! The great day arrived, and my mother, younger brother, three friends, and I piled into our old beat-up car. We headed out of town on the 90-minute ride to the amusement park for a day of sun and fun. About halfway to the water park, the car started running badly and the “check engine” light came on. My mom pulled the car over. We were stuck. An hour passed as we waited for someone to stop and help. A police officer stopped to see if we were all right and called a tow truck (拖车) to pick up the car. On the way to the service station, Mom told the officer that we had been headed to the water park for my birthday treat. The officer dropped us off and left after giving me a short ride in the police car as a birthday present. At the service station, the mechanic explained the water pump (水泵) needed to be replaced. The cost, plus the tow, would be $135. Mom started crying and pulled me aside. She explained we wouldn’t have enough money to go anywhere but home, and we’d have to save up to go somewhere else for my birthday later. I was disappointed but tried not to show it, knowing even at that age that we didn’t have much money. We tried to make the best of the day, the six of us having a picnic at the service station with the cake Mom had baked. Eventually, the mechanic called Mom into the office, saying the repairs were completed but he had to make a phone call before we could leave. He told Mom to have a seat and wait. 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。 Twenty minutes later, the police officer came with a wrapped present. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With great gratitude, Mom tried to give the $135 back to the officer. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024-2025年度上学期高三12月 英语试卷 第一部分 听力（共两节满分30分） 第一节（共5小题：每小题1. 5分，满分7. 5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What is the woman doing now?

At thirty years old, I’m the youngest ever head of weather department and the first woman to do the job. I normally work eight hours a day and meanwhile, I do ten or twelve forecasts. At night, we all take turns to work. Before doing a weather forecast, I analyze data on the computer. There isn’t much time to learn what I have to say, but fortunately, I’ve never forgotten my words, and so I don’t get nervous. Because our news and weather service goes out worldwide, people sometimes recognize me in really distant places. Once, in an Indian village, a man took me to have a photo taken with all his family. People occasionally even write and ask me to marry them! 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、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Keen to join in the fun?

Required wear: Smiley face T-shirt. Isle of Wight Festival This festival has since built itself a fresh reputation for properly crowd-pleasing line-ups packed with huge household names. With tickets for kids aged five to twelve priced at just £5.00, and under-fours going free, it’s easy to see why it’s become a truly multi-generational affair. Required wear: Hat and sunscreen.

Some retirees are choosing to spend most of the year on cruise ships. But one teenager in Germany has decided to take advantage of his country’s rail system, and has begun living on trains full-time. Lasse Stolley is a 17-year-old German software developer who spends his mornings grabbing breakfast inside the first-class lounge and his evenings in sleeping cars. He showers in gyms and leisure areas, and washes his clothes at train stations. He fits all of his possessions into a single backpack, including three sets of clothes, hygiene supplies, sleeping necessities, and technology. The teenager has been living this way since he was 16, when he graduated from high school. He says that originally convincing his parents was a struggle, but eventually they let him go. At first, Stolley had trouble sleeping on the train. And he also had to be careful to make sure his belongings didn’t get stolen at night. But after the first couple of months, he was able to settle into a routine and thoroughly enjoy himself. Lasse Stolley obtained a BahnCard 100 card, allowing him to board and depart from any Deutsche Bahn unlimitedly. It costs Stolley approximately €10, 000 per year. Since a month’s worth of rent in Germany costs €942 on average, train life is an appealing option for a young adult with dreams of travelling. However, Stolley says the best part is the freedom of not being bound to one place. He is able to take impromptu day trips. On an average day, Stolley can travel over 600 miles. Now he has travelled to more countries than many people ever will in their lifetime, and he shows no signs of stopping anytime soon. 24. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about Stolley? A. His activity venues. B. His work schedules. C. His basic necessities. D. His life arrangements. 25. What can be inferred about Stolley from paragraph 3? A. He once had his backpack stolen. B. He initially had a tough time on trains. C. He didn’t get permission from his parents. D. He packed his belongings in several bags. 26. What’s the most attractive to Stolley about his train life? A. Heavily discounted fares. B. The flexibility of remote work. C More chances to make new friends. D. The freedom to go where he wants. 27. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To appeal for low house prices. B. To introduce an unusual lifestyle. C. To promote the spirit of adventure. D. To explain the benefits of train travel. 【答案】24. D 25. B 26. D 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了德国17岁少年莱斯·斯托利凭借着一张1万欧元的德国国家铁路年票正在环游德国，他长时间住在火车上，平均每日坐车超过600英里。 【24题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Lasse Stolley is a 17-year-old German software developer who spends his mornings grabbing breakfast inside the first-class lounge and his evenings in sleeping cars. He showers in gyms and leisure areas, and washes his clothes at train stations. He fits all of his possessions into a single backpack, including three sets of clothes, hygiene supplies, sleeping necessities, and technology.(17岁的德国软件开发人员拉斯·斯托利早上在头等舱休息室里吃早餐，晚上在卧铺车厢里度过。他在健身房和休闲区洗澡，在火车站洗衣服。他把所有的东西都装进一个背包里，包括三套衣服、卫生用品、睡眠用品和科技产品)”可知，第二段介绍了斯托利在就餐、睡觉、洗澡、洗衣等生活方面的安排。故选D。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“At first, Stolley had trouble sleeping on the train. And he also had to be careful to make sure his belongings didn’t get stolen at night.(起初，斯托利在火车上睡不着觉。他还必须小心翼翼地确保自己的财物在晚上不被偷走)”可知，他最初在火车上过得很艰难。故选B。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“However, Stolley says the best part is the freedom of not being bound to one place. He is able to take impromptu day trips.(然而，斯托利说，最好的部分是不被束缚在一个地方的自由。他可以即兴进行一日游)”可知，最吸引他的是能随心所欲地去自己想去的地方。故选D。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Due to the rising cost of rent and seemingly endless loan payments, a growing number of families are living in recreational vehicles and restored school buses. Some retirees are choosing to spend most of the year on cruise ships.

But SpoGomi, a competitive sport, is devoted to directly helping the planet. The name “SpoGomi” comes from “sports” and “gomi”, which means “refuse” in Japanese. Japan created SpoGomi in 2008 as a way to promote refuse collection and has organized an annual competition since then. Now, supported by the Nippon Foundation, the sport is so popular that there are competitions around the world, including the first SpoGomi World Cup, which was held in Japan in November 2023. Teams from 21 countries selected through preliminary competitions competed, with the UK team coming out in first place. SpoGomi has a whole set of rules. Generally, teams are made up of three to five members who have to collect as much refuse as possible within a specified area and time limit. The most common duration is an hour for picking up refuse plus another 20 minutes to correctly sort it. There are other rules set up — from safety rules like being prohibited from picking up litter near roads or railway tracks to sportsmanship rules like respecting the players in other teams. Points are awarded for every 100 grains of litter collected, with teams earning 10 points for burnable or unburnable waste. 12 points for glass bottles and metal cans, 25 points for PET bottles, and 150 points for cigarette butts. The team with the most litter wins. If one team ties with another, the team with more points will be the winner. In the end, all participants can be bathed in the pride of making the environment just a little bit cleaner and healthier. Udagawa Takayasu, a spokesperson for the Nippon Foundation, claims, “Although our team could not win in the preliminary tournament held last weekend, the city became markedly cleaner. That’s what I’m proud of. ” 28. What do we know about SpoGomi? A. It catches on very well. B. It is held every other year. C. It sets age limits on competitors D. It takes place only in rural areas. 29. How is the winner determined in case of a tie? A. By the diversity of garbage. B. By the time they spend. C. By the points they earn. D. By the total weight of litter. 30. Why is Udagawa Takayasu mentioned in the last paragraph? A. To highlight his influence. B. To praise all the organizers. C. To show his good mentality. D. To prove the author’s point. 31. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Sports: A Driving Force for Clean Environment B. SpoGomi: A Competitive Sport for Litter Picking C. Japan: The Host of the First SpoGomi World Cups D. Britain: The Winner of the First SpoGomi World Cup 【答案】28. A 29. C 30. D 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了“SpoGomi”是一项竞技运动，通过捡垃圾来保护环境。它由“sports”（运动）和日语中的“gomi”（垃圾）组成，创立于2008年。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Now, supported by the Nippon Foundation, the sport is so popular that there are competitions around the world, including the first SpoGomi World Cup, which was held in Japan in November 2023.(现在，在日本财团的支持下，这项运动非常受欢迎，世界各地都有比赛，包括2023年11月在日本举行的第一届SpoGomi世界杯)”可知，这项运动非常受欢迎。故选A。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“12 points for glass bottles and metal cans, 25 points for PET bottles, and 150 points for cigarette butts. The team with the most litter wins. If one team ties with another, the team with more points will be the winner.(玻璃瓶和金属罐12分，PET瓶25分，烟头150分。垃圾量最多的队伍获胜。如果一个队与另一个队打成平手，得分更多的队将是获胜者)”可知，捡到的垃圾最多的队获胜，出现平局时，得分更多的队是获胜者。故选C。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Udagawa Takayasu, a spokesperson for the Nippon Foundation, claims, “Although our team could not win in the preliminary tournament held last weekend, the city became markedly cleaner. That’s what I’m proud of. ”(日本财团发言人Udagawa Takayasu声称：“虽然我们的球队在上周末举行的预赛中没有获胜，但这座城市明显变得干净了。这是我引以为傲的。”)”以及第一段“Sports have got more and more environmentally friendly, whether it’s by reducing plastic waste at venues, or producing medals with recycled materials.(体育运动变得越来越环保，无论是减少场馆的塑料垃圾，还是用可回收材料制作奖牌)”可知，提及Udagawa Takayasu是为了印证作者第一段的观点。故选D。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Sports have got more and more environmentally friendly, whether it’s by reducing plastic waste at venues, or producing medals with recycled materials. But SpoGomi, a competitive sport, is devoted to directly helping the planet. The name “SpoGomi” comes from “sports” and “gomi”, which means “refuse” in Japanese. Japan created SpoGomi in 2008 as a way to promote refuse collection and has organized an annual competition since then.(体育运动变得越来越环保，无论是减少场馆的塑料垃圾，还是用可回收材料制作奖牌。但SpoGomi是一项竞技运动，致力于直接帮助地球。“SpoGomi”这个名字来自“运动”和“gomi”，在日语中是“拒绝”的意思。日本于2008年创建了SpoGomi，作为一种促进垃圾收集的方式，并从那时起组织了一年一度的比赛)”以及文章介绍了捡垃圾运动“SpoGomi”的诞生、发展及相关比赛规则等。B选项“捡垃圾：捡垃圾的竞技运动”最符合文章标题。故选B。 D Colleges and universities across the US have seen a decades-long push for scholars to carry out multidisciplinary research — academic work that combines experts from different fields who mix know how to work on a certain topic. Recently researchers from Kansas University sought to characterize multidisciplinary research that took place over one decade in the field of psychology. Graduate student Yoshiaki Fujita and Michael Vitevitch, professor and chair of psychology at KU, have published their findings in the journal Humanities and Social Sciences Communications. Using network analyses, the pair examined articles for the years 2008-2018 listed in the Social Sciences Citation Index database of the Web of Science, under the subject category of “Psychology, Multidisciplinary”. They found just 25% of citations from articles in these journals referenced research published in fields outside psychology. “We were a little staggered to find out even though there are these calls to become more and more multidisciplinary, we’re still really not,” Vitevitch said. “When you look at psychology journals identified as multidisciplinary — they should be reaching out the most to other fields — only about 25% of their citations were to journals from other fields. Half were to other psychology journals, and 25% were to other multidisciplinary psychology journals.” Fujita and Vitevitch found some topics in psychology attracted multidisciplinary work steadily throughout the decades — such as those relating to physical and mental health — while the percentage of multidisciplinary research for other topics would rise and fall. They looked at topics people were investigating to discover what themes people were studying in this multidisciplinary fashion, and whether there are areas that are really hot and areas that have sort of died off. The information provided by the network analyses may be useful not only for individual researchers looking for new research questions, but also for academic or research administrators who want to boost multidisciplinary scholarship. Furthermore, the researchers’ approach should also be effective in measuring multidisciplinary research in other fields besides psychology. 32. What does the study focus on? A. The type of articles that were highly cited. B. The frequency of the citations to published articles. C. The extent to which psychology is multidisciplinary. D. The number of multidisciplinary psychology journals 33. What does the underlined word “staggered” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Excited. B. Confident. C. Astonished. D. Proud. 34. What do the researchers intend to do by studying the article topics? A. Diversify research themes. B. Know the author’s preferences. C. Assess the quality of the papers. D. Identify promising multidisciplinary topics. 35. What might the author of the text continue talking about? A. The application of network analyses to other subjects B. The impact of this study on psychology research. C. The gaps of multidisciplinary research. D. The limitations of the study approach. 【答案】32. C 33. C 34. D 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。研究人员研究了2008年至2018年被归类为“心理学，多学科”期刊上学术文章，发现只有25%的引文来自心理学以外的领域，该研究的成果及方法对促进多学科研究具有重要的借鉴意义。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Recently researchers from Kansas University sought to characterize multidisciplinary research that took place over one decade in the field of psychology.(最近，堪萨斯大学的研究人员试图描述十多年来在心理学领域进行的多学科研究)”和第三段“They found just 25% of citations from articles in these journals referenced research published in fields outside psychology.(他们发现这些期刊中只有25%的文章引用了心理学领域以外的研究)”可知，研究关注的是心理学在多大程度上是多学科的。故选C。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“We were a little staggered to find out even though there are these calls to become more and more multidisciplinary, we’re still really not(我们有点staggered地发现，尽管有越来越多的呼吁要求成为多学科，我们实际上仍然不是)”可推知，尽管有越来越多的呼吁要求成为多学科，我们实际上仍然不是，这是一种惊讶的发现。故划线词意为“惊讶的”。故选C。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“They looked at topics people were investigating to discover what themes people were studying in this multidisciplinary fashion, and whether there are areas that are really hot and areas that have sort of died off.(他们观察人们正在研究的主题，以发现人们以这种多学科的方式研究的主题，以及是否有真正热门的领域和已经消亡的领域)”可知，研究人员通过研究文章主题的意图是发现有前景的多学科主题。故选D。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The information provided by the network analyses may be useful not only for individual researchers looking for new research questions, but also for academic or research administrators who want to boost multidisciplinary scholarship. Furthermore, the researchers’ approach should also be effective in measuring multidisciplinary research in other fields besides psychology.(网络分析提供的信息可能不仅对寻找新的研究问题的个别研究人员有用，而且对想要促进多学科奖学金的学术或研究管理人员也有用。此外，研究人员的方法也应有效地衡量除心理学以外的其他领域的多学科研究)”可推知，文章可能会继续谈论网络分析在其他学科上的应用。故选A。 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。 You’ve probably been told not to talk to strangers, but it can be really rewarding to communicate with people you don’t know. ___36___, not to mention improving your conversational skills. Here are some helpful tips on how to start a conversation with strangers. Bring up general topics. If you’re complete strangers, you can mention easy subjects like a TV show or a movie you’ve seen, or current affairs you saw online. If you feel a little more comfortable with the person, you can test the waters by bringing up family, work and study to see if they want to open up more. ___37___ . Comment on something personal. You’ll find that everyone you meet has something unique about them. Mention something you appreciate or like about them. You could make a comment about something like the person’s wearing or anything else you admire. ___38___. Avoid praising someone’s physical appearance too much since it could make some people uncomfortable. ___39___. This classic conversation starter can work in the right circumstances. If you say to someone, “You seem really familiar. Do I know you from somewhere?” it makes it easier to gather and give information and keep a conversation going. Break the ice with humor. Starting a conversation with humor often brings individuals closer together. An example of this could be, “I’m great at multitasking. I can waste time, be unproductive, and be lazy all at once.” Humor is difficult to use with someone you don’t know well. ___40___ However, if you do find someone who shares your sense of humor, it can be the start of a great friendship. A. Ask if you have met before B. End the conversation in a polite way C. These are good starting points for common ground D. It makes you feel happier and leads to better mental health E. That means using this method to start a conversation can be risky F. If the person doesn’t seem interested, ask other open-ended questions G. After receiving a response, continue chatting to learn more about the person 【答案】36. D 37. C 38. G 39. A 40. E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了与陌生人开启对话的几点建议。 【36题详解】 根据上文“You’ve probably been told not to talk to strangers, but it can be really rewarding to communicate with people you don’t know.(你可能被告知不要和陌生人交谈，但与不认识的人交流真的很有意义)”以及后文“not to mention improving your conversational skills.(更不用说提高你的交谈技巧了)”可知，此处是在阐述与陌生人交流的好处，D项“It makes you feel happier and leads to better mental health(它会让你感觉更快乐，并带来更好的心理健康)” 也是在说与陌生人交流带来的积极影响，与前文语境相符，故选D项。 【37题详解】 根据上文“If you feel a little more comfortable with the person, you can test the waters by bringing up family, work and study to see if they want to open up more.(如果你和对方相处感觉更自在一些，你可以通过提及家庭、工作和学习来试探一下，看看他们是否愿意更多地敞开心扉)”可知，这里提到这些话题是开启交流、寻找共同话题的切入点，C项“These are good starting points for common ground(这些是寻找共同话题的良好切入点)”与之呼应，故选C项。 【38题详解】 根据上文“Mention something you appreciate or like about them. You could make a comment about something like the person’s wearing or anything else you admire(提及你欣赏或喜欢他们的地方。你可以对他们的穿着或其他你欣赏的方面发表评论)”以及后文“Avoid praising someone’s physical appearance too much since it could make some people uncomfortable(避免过多夸赞别人的外貌，因为这可能会让一些人感到不舒服)”可知，前文说对别人的穿着或其他欣赏的方面发表评论，后文说避免过度夸赞外貌，可推理此处说的是得到回应后应继续交流，但要避免过度赞美，G项“After receiving a response, continue chatting to learn more about the person(在收到回应后，继续聊天以更多地了解对方)”符合语境，故选G项。 【39题详解】 根据后文“This classic conversation starter can work in the right circumstances. If you say to someone, “You seem really familiar. Do I know you from somewhere?” it makes it easier to gather and give information and keep a conversation going.(这个经典的开场白在合适的情况下是有效的。如果你对某人说：“你看起来很眼熟。我是不是在哪里见过你？” 这样更容易收集和提供信息，让对话继续下去)”可知，这段内容主要围绕询问是否之前见过展开，A 项“Ask if you have met before(询问是否之前见过)”表达的含义符合该段主题，故选A项。 【40题详解】 根据前文“Humor is difficult to use with someone you don’t know well.(幽默很难在你不太熟悉的人身上使用)”可知，这里是在说用幽默开启对话存在风险，与E项“That means using this method to start a conversation can be risky(这意味着用这种方法开始对话可能有风险)”表达的含义一致，故选E项。 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。 Artist Akash Selvarasu has a unique approach to spreading love and caring for people who serve others.

I was eight, and it was my birthday. I was told to make a list of two or three friends who’d enjoy the water theme park in nearby Tampa, Florida. Since we didn’t have any spare money, the trip would be a packed lunch and no extras. I didn’t care - I was getting a special treat! The great day arrived, and my mother, younger brother, three friends, and I piled into our old beat-up car. We headed out of town on the 90-minute ride to the amusement park for a day of sun and fun. About halfway to the water park, the car started running badly and the “check engine” light came on. My mom pulled the car over. We were stuck. An hour passed as we waited for someone to stop and help. A police officer stopped to see if we were all right and called a tow truck (拖车) to pick up the car. On the way to the service station, Mom told the officer that we had been headed to the water park for my birthday treat. The officer dropped us off and left after giving me a short ride in the police car as a birthday present. At the service station, the mechanic explained the water pump (水泵) needed to be replaced. The cost, plus the tow, would be $135. Mom started crying and pulled me aside. She explained we wouldn’t have enough money to go anywhere but home, and we’d have to save up to go somewhere else for my birthday later. I was disappointed but tried not to show it, knowing even at that age that we didn’t have much money. We tried to make the best of the day, the six of us having a picnic at the service station with the cake Mom had baked. Eventually, the mechanic called Mom into the office, saying the repairs were completed but he had to make a phone call before we could leave. He told Mom to have a seat and wait. 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。 Twenty minutes later, the police officer came with a wrapped present. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With great gratitude, Mom tried to give the $135 back to the officer. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文： Twenty minutes later, the police officer came with a wrapped present. He walked up, handed me the present, and wished me a happy birthday. Before I responded, he paid the mechanic for the repairs and tow. It was at that moment that I realized why the mechanic told Mom to wait. He was requested to do so by the police officer who promised to return to pay him. After carefully inspecting the repaired vehicle, the officer said to Mom, “I’m sorry to have kept you waiting so long. The car is working properly now. You may continue your journey.” With great gratitude, Mom tried to give the $135 back to the officer. Whatever Mom said, the officer would not take the money. He told Mom that he knew we didn’t have much money and that my birthday trip shouldn’t be ruined because of something we had no control over. With these words, he departed hurriedly. To this day, I have been grateful for his kindness. Not only did he save my birthday trip, but he also changed my life. I always help others when I get a chance and try to instill this concept into my children’s lives. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者八岁生日那天，原本计划与家人和朋友一起去佛罗里达州Tampa附近的水上乐园游玩，但途中汽车出现故障，导致他们被困在路边。警察帮忙叫了拖车，并将他们送到汽修站。然而，由于修理费用高昂，他们没有足够的钱继续原计划的水上乐园之旅，只能放弃。最后，他们在汽修站举行了一个简单的野餐来庆祝生日。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“二十分钟后，警察带着一份包装好的礼物来了。”可知，第一段可描写警察给作者带来生日礼物并支付修理费和拖车费的情景。 ②由第二段首句内容“带着感激之情，妈妈试着把135美元还给警察。”可知，第二段可描写警察的慷慨解囊和对作者产生的深远影响。 2.续写线索：递给作者礼物——警察检查车——警察拒绝收钱——警察离开——作者感激——作者变化 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①递：hand/pass ②检查：inspect/check ③离开：depart/leave 情绪类 ①快乐的：happy/merry ②感激的：grateful/thankful 【点睛】[高分句型1] It was at that moment that I realized why the mechanic told Mom to wait.
