We were fortunate to have an experienced expert as our speaker, who provided us with practical knowledge. During the class, we learned about different types of injuries and the corresponding first aid measures. The most impressive part was the practical training session, where we practiced bandaging wounds and performing CPR on dummies. It was a truly enriching experience. I now understand the importance of first aid and how it can make a difference in critical situations. Do you have any similar courses? Looking forward to your reply. Best regards, Li Hua 67.读后续写参考范文 To his surprise, something was moving in the kangaroo's pouch (育儿袋)! He knelt down carefully, looking into the pouch. There lay a baby kangaroo, eyes barely open and its body trembling as if seeking comfort. Melanie’s eyes widened in wonder and her heart melted. “We can’t leave it here,” she said in a determined voice. John nodded and then gently picked up the little creature, holding it in his arms. After burying its poor mother, they took it home. Melanie made it a pouch from an old shirt and devoted herself to caring for it. With the kangaroo growing stronger day by day, Melanie marveled at its every little hop, and her heart was filled with joy and pride. Two years later, Melanie finally decided it was time to say goodbye to the kangaroo. With heavy hearts, they led it to the edge of the farm where the wide bush land stretched out. Copper sat quietly by, as if to bid farewell. John stroked the kangaroo's soft fur one last time while Melanie fought back tears. “Go ahead, Minty,” Melanie said softly. “Be free.” Hesitating for a moment, the kangaroo looked back at them with those intelligent eyes, then turned and leaped into the bush. They watched until it disappeared from sight, with a mixture of sorrow and relief. Melanie knew they had witnessed a miracle of life, and this life would blossom in the wild where it truly belonged. 听力原文 (Text 1) M: Are you going to renew your country club membership? W: You bet! I’m going to take their offer to renew and get 25% discount. The original price is $400. (Text 2) M: What’s your biggest food pleasure? W: Well, everyone goes crazy about, like chocolate. But I don’t have much of a sweet tooth. I’m a total fan for fries. (Text 3) W: How’s the planning coming along for the office holiday party? M: Great! We’ve been making a lot of progress since Caroline joined the group. W: Oh yeah, she’s really great with organizing projects. (Text 4) M: Excuse me. Could you warm this up for me? W: Oh, I’m sorry. Is it not warm enough? M: No, it’s completely cold in the middle. W: I’m sorry about that. I’ll have the kitchen do it for you right now. (Text 5) M: To be honest, I was surprised at the quality of Angela’s works. W: She is professional, you know. M: I know. She’s brilliant at drawing animals. W: I was more impressed by the colors in her landscapes. (Text 6) M: Hello, I noticed a brochure for your boat tours. Are there any at the end of September? W: Absolutely! But they’re actually crowded at that time of year because it’s the last of the nice weather. As you know, no live music in September, and prices stay the same. M: Well, I’m glad I called early, then. I’d like to reserve two seats. W: Uh ... all our reservations are done through our website. Log in and then you just choose the date you want. (Text 7) W: Excuse me. Is this all the Marcos brand furniture you have? I like the dark brown sofa, but it’s too wide. I’m wondering if you have one that seats just two people. M: Usually, yes, but they’re sold out now. But we’re getting another shipment next week. Would you like me to give you a call when it comes in? W: Thanks, but that won’t be necessary. I’ll just get this lamp for now, and I’ll come by again next week. This discount ticket is still usable, isn’t it? M: Yes. It runs out today, so you are using it just in time. (Text 8) W: Look at all these ads on my social media feed! I just want to catch up on what my friends have been doing, not get recommendations on what shoes to buy! M: Sadly, it’s just part of being online, isn’t it? The best thing to do is ignore them. W: But does this type of marketing even work? I mean, I’ve never felt like buying something just because of an online advertisement. M: Oh, you’d be surprised. Apparently, it has a major impact on what we end up buying. But what’s more worrying is that companies can track what you’re clicking on to get information about you. (Text 9) M: Today, my guest is TV chef Mary Palmer. Mary, how do you feel about being a household name? W: Well, when I trained as a chef, TV presenting never even crossed my mind. My first TV appearance was actually as a last-minute replacement for another chef. The producers were busy, so I had to figure everything out myself, desperate not to let them down. M: And it wasn’t long before you were asked to present your own series. W: Yes. But I did think carefully about whether I wanted to do it because I was so happy with just being a chef. I didn’t really want fame to change things. But the producers had high hopes for both the show and me. Ultimately, I couldn’t turn down the chance to make a series for teenagers. M: Would you say that TV cookery shows have changed since then? W: Unquestionably. People often say programs are now about style over substance, that they’re entertaining rather than informative. But cookery shows have never been a replacement for school domestic science classes. And nowadays, TV shows mirror people’s real experiences more accurately. I mean, the cuisines people really eat, and the ingredients they actually use. (Text 10) W: My name’s Kate Wilder, and I’d like to tell you about a farm I went to in Australia. The farm owner was interested in bringing back native food crops that had disappeared from Australia. In fact, when I got there, the team on the farm had already successfully grown a crop known as kangaroo grass, and were just cutting and collecting another crop, dancing grass, which they felt might turn out to be a valuable food. However, one problem was that these crops hadn’t been grown for over 200 years. And farmers would often pass on information to the next generation just by telling them, rather than writing it down. As a result, the team had to rely on any written records they could find. And if they couldn’t find any written evidence, they just had to experiment. Anyway, the team managed to use dancing grass to make bread. The bread turned out to be very dark, with a unique smell, and a flavour that was unusual — but delicious! This got food companies interested in the crop. Following this success, the farm owner is eager to encourage local landowners to grow these crops, particularly on poor-quality land, which might not support other crops, such as potatoes. And these native species have actually improved the land they’ve been grown on. 阅读A篇 语篇解读 这篇文章主要介绍了北半球冬季时四个各具特色的旅游目的地，为想要在冬季寻找乐趣的人们提供了不同的选择。 21. B. 细节理解题 文中Cuba的部分明确指出 “December marks the beginning of the dry season, meaning reliably warm days and scarce rain, ideal for sun-bathed south coast beaches.”，意思是 12 月是旱季的开始，天气温暖且降雨稀少，很适合在南部海岸的海滩享受阳光，正好符合喜欢在海边享受温暖阳光这一要求，所以选B。 22. D. 推理判断题 文中Finnish Lapland的部分，提到 “Adrenaline (肾上腺素) levels can be raised by snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, or Arctic swimming.”，像雪地摩托、越野滑雪、北极游泳这些都是很冒险刺激的户外运动，所以选D。A选项 Build an ice hotel by hand（亲手建造冰酒店）：文中说的是 “Stay cool in an ice hotel, like Arctic Snow Hotel, which is rebuilt by hand every winter.”，是说像北极雪酒店这样的冰酒店每年冬天靠人工重建，而不是游客去亲手建造，所以该选项错误。B选项Buy souvenirs made from Santa（购买由圣诞老人制作的纪念品）：原文提到 “Shop for handcrafted souvenirs made from local materials like reindeer leather.”，是购买用驯鹿皮革等当地材料制作的手工艺品纪念品，不是由圣诞老人制作的纪念品，该选项错误。C选项Watch Northern lights at any time（随时观看北极光）：文中只是说 “December is also a prime month for the Northern Lights, when the frequency and intensity is at its peak.”，表明 12 月是观赏北极光的好月份，频率和强度处于峰值，但不是随时都能观看，该选项错误。 23. C. 细节理解题 本题考查奥地利相比周边国家是滑雪好选择的原因。文中指出 “Austria is snow-sure compared to surrounding countries（与周边国家相比，奥地利的雪量是有保障的）”，也就是雪更可靠，这使得它成为滑雪的好选择，该选项正确。 阅读B篇 语篇解读 这篇文章主要围绕作者记录家族故事这一主题展开叙述。 24. A. 细节理解题 根据第一段 “Although I have been unconsciously collecting stories about my family ever since I was born, it was only this summer that I decided to start reaching out for more stories. In a family wedding... I wanted to find stories I hadn’t been told before to piece together frequently repeated ones.” 可知，作者在参加婚礼后，决定开始主动寻找更多故事，也就是积极收集故事，A 选项正确。B 选项 “等待故事出现”，与原文作者主动寻找故事不符；C 选项 “把听到的故事与人物对应起来”，这是参加婚礼时做的，不是之后做的；D 选项 “寻找以前听过的故事”，原文是寻找没听过的故事，所以 B、C、D 选项错误。 25. C. 细节理解题 由第二段 “But recording stories is not an organized process, especially since these stories can come out of nowhere.” 可知，记录家庭故事具有挑战性是因为这些故事出现得毫无预兆，C 选项 “它们出乎意料地出现” 正确。A 选项 “它们几乎没有空白” 与原文 “Family stories are everywhere, yet there are still so many gaps.” 不符；B 选项 “它们按时间顺序出现”，原文提到 “family stories are not linear”，说明不是按时间顺序；D 选项 “它们包含生活画面” 并非记录故事具有挑战性的原因，所以 A、B、D 选项错误。 26. D. 细节理解题 根据第三段 “Whenever I speak to my grandparents about their pasts... Some are personal details, which not only give me insight into what life was like back then, but further expose me to the different cultures where I have grown up.” 可知，作者认为祖父母的故事能让她了解过去的生活和成长过程中的不同文化，帮助她理解过去，D 选项正确。A 选项 “它们以艰难困苦为中心”，原文说故事包含艰难、宽容和成功等方面，并非只围绕艰难困苦；B 选项 “它们纯粹是个人细节”，原文提到还有历史相关内容，并非纯粹个人细节；C 选项 “它们让她深感悲伤”，原文未提及此类情感，所以 A、B、C 选项错误。 27. D. 段落大意题 最后一段提到 “Documenting stories is honoring family traditions, preserving world history, and paying respect to those who shaped you. For me, the collection has developed my awareness of my identity and the world around me.”，主要阐述了记录故事对尊重家庭传统、保存世界历史以及对作者自身认识等方面的意义，D 选项 “记录故事的意义” 正确。A 选项 “寻找故事的过程”、B 选项 “添加故事的必要性”、C 选项 “收集故事的方法” 均不是该段主要内容，所以 A、B、C 选项错误。 阅读C篇 语篇解读 文章开篇讲述了希腊神话中西西弗斯的故事，引出哲学家、荒诞主义之父阿尔贝・加缪的著作《西西弗斯的神话》，阐述了加缪有关生活和幸福的哲学理念。鼓励人们以全新方式看待日常的挣扎，即要主动去拥抱生活的荒诞，专注当下、享受当下，从当下找寻快乐和意义。 28. B. 细节理解题 根据文章第一段 “Sisyphus... was sentenced to forever suffering in the underworld by the angry gods: he had to roll a huge rock up a hill. When he reached the top, the stone would roll back down to the bottom, and he would have to start all over, on and on, forever.” 可知，西西弗斯（Sisyphus）受到的惩罚是要把一块巨石推上山，当到达山顶时，石头又会滚回山脚，然后他不得不重新开始，如此反复，B 选项符合文意。A 选项 “他必须上下山” 不准确，重点是推石头上山；C 选项 “他被判处生活在冥界” 没有体现具体惩罚内容；D 选项 “他被阻止到达山顶” 与原文不符，所以 A、C、D 选项错误。 29. B. 细节理解题 从文章第二段 “Camus concludes, ‘One must imagine Sisyphus happy, because the struggle itself towards the heights is enough to fill a man’s heart.’” 可知，加缪（Camus）认为西西弗斯是快乐的，因为向着高处的挣扎本身就足以填满一个人的内心，即他能让自己全身心地投入其中，B 选项正确。A 选项 “他有足够的苦难” 不是加缪认为他快乐的原因；C 选项 “他被选为代表” 与他快乐无关；D 选项 “他可以总是重新开始工作” 没有触及到加缪观点的核心，所以 A、C、D 选项错误。 30. A. 推理判断题 根据文章第四段 “In fact, each of us can carry out Camus’ absurdism with mindfulness in order to live a happier life. When the broad sweep of life brings you horror, just concentrate on this moment, and enjoy it.” 可知，按照加缪的哲学，当面对生活中的困境（如交通堵塞）时，应该专注于当下并享受它。A 选项 “在车里享受音乐” 体现了专注当下享受的理念；B 选项 “反复闪大灯”、C 选项 “抱怨交通繁忙” 和 D 选项 “后悔选错路线” 都没有体现享受当下，而是一种负面情绪或行为，所以 A 选项正确，B、C、D 选项错误。 31.C. 标题归纳题 文章主要通过西西弗斯的故事引出加缪的哲学观点，即要在生活的荒谬中找到快乐，最后作者也分享了自己在这种哲学指导下的生活体验。C 选项 “在荒谬中寻找快乐” 能够准确概括文章主旨。A 选项 “避免西西弗斯式的生活” 与文章主旨不符，文章不是在讲避免这种生活；B 选项 “探索加缪的哲学” 比较宽泛，没有突出在荒谬中寻找快乐的重点；D 选项 “有意识地接受幸福” 没有体现出与生活荒谬性的关联，所以 C 选项最适合作为文章标题。 阅读D篇 语篇解读 文章围绕气候变化导致航班飞行状况变得更颠簸这一现象展开，专家发现鸟类对风的感知或许有助于预测湍流。 32. D.词义猜测题 根据第一段 “Climate change is making flights rougher, meaning your plane ride will have more rocky conditions. According to a 2024 study, aircraft jolt caused by turbulence (湍流) in some locations increased by as much as 55 percent from 1979 to 2020.” 可知，气候变化使飞行更颠簸，由湍流导致的飞机某种状况从 1979 年到 2020 年在某些地方增加了 55%，结合前文 “rougher” 和 “rocky conditions” 可推测 “jolt” 意思为 “颠簸”，与 “Roughness” 意思相近。A 选项 “Flight” 意为 “飞行”；B 选项 “Acceleration” 意为 “加速”；C 选项 “Movement” 意为 “移动”，均不符合语境，所以选 D。 33. A.细节理解题 从第二段 “Birds frequently fly over thousands of kilometers, and the amount of energy they must consume while traveling depends on wind direction, speed, and turbulence. Catching the wrong winds can also be the difference between life and death when you’re running low on supplies at the end of a life - changing journey halfway around the globe.” 可知，鸟类飞行距离长，飞行时消耗的能量取决于风向、风速和湍流，选错风可能在长途飞行能量即将耗尽时关乎生死，所以感知风对鸟类保存能量很重要。B 选项 “寻找方向”，文中未提及与感知风的关系；C 选项 “找到足够的补给”，文中说的是选错风在能量即将耗尽时关乎生死，并非寻找补给；D 选项 “到达高空”，文中未提及与感知风的联系，所以选 A。 34. C.细节理解题 第三段“Emily Shepard, an expert in bird flight and air flow and her colleagues at Swansea University’s Laboratory for Animal Movement hope to ‘visualize the invisible’ and chart the movements of the air by examining how these birds react to turbulence.” 以及后文团队开展的相关实验可知，谢泼德团队进行研究的目的是通过观察鸟类对湍流的反应，来实现对湍流情况的观察以及预测，C 选项准确概括了这一目的。A 选项 “绘制鸟类飞行模式” 不是核心目的；B 选项 “改进飞机设计” 文章未提及与该研究目的相关内容；D 选项 “分析鸟类对湍流的反应” 只是研究的手段，最终目的是为了观测和预测湍流。 35. B.细节理解题 由第五段 “Experts said birds might serve as mobile meteorological (气象学的) sensors, gathering information about any disturbance they encounter as they fly. Not only can birds fly in conditions that planes cannot, Shepard continues, but this would also be less expensive than employing sensors fixed to aircraft.” 可知，鸟类可以作为移动气象传感器，收集飞行中遇到的任何干扰信息，而且比在飞机上安装传感器更便宜，即作为经济的移动传感器为气象学和航空旅行做出贡献。A 选项 “在飞行中避免湍流”，文中说的是有助于预测湍流，不是避免；C 选项 “减少对气象飞机的需求”，文中未提及；D 选项 “自行预测天气模式”，文中强调的是作为传感器帮助预测，不是自行预测，所以选 B。 阅读七选五 36. F 前文提到有人说 “你现在这样就很完美” 这句话听起来不错，后文又说事实上没人是完美的，前后存在转折关系，F 选项 “然而，这可能是人们告诉我们的最具误导性的话” 符合此处逻辑，起到了承上启下的转折衔接作用，所以选择 F 选项。 37.B 前文提到人类有夸大自身积极品质并与他人进行有利比较的自然倾向，后文进一步举例说明这种现象，所以这里需要对这种倾向进行定义，B 选项 “这就是我们所说的自我提升” 符合语境，能够衔接前后文。 38. C 后文提到它（自我提升）是一种免受与他人负面比较带来的精神痛苦的庇护所，这是在阐述自我提升倾向存在的原因，C 选项 “这种倾向的一个原因是它的保护功能” 符合文意，引出后文对原因的具体阐述。 39. G 前文说大学生高估自己的学术能力时能提升情绪和积极情感，后文说实际上这些学生往往达不到学业期望，长期来看还导致自尊心下降，G 选项 “但是这种高估并没有转化为更好的学业表现” 能很好地衔接前后内容，体现出前文的高估和后文实际学业情况之间的转折关系，所以选择 G 选项。 40. E 承接前一句“一种更好的方法可能是重新考虑我们以及他人的不完美之处，不是作为缺点，而是作为有趣挑战来克服。”毕竟，如果一切很完美，还有什么可去奋斗追求的呢？ 完形填空 语篇解读 这篇文章讲述了圣诞前夕，公路养护工人发现了一个装满圣诞礼物的破损的垃圾袋，最终通过爱心接力找到失主的温情的故事。 41. D 解析：此处表达凯恩和雷米 “发现，看到” 了一个破损的垃圾袋，A 选项 “lost（丢失）” 不符合语境；B 选项 “received（收到）” 通常表示收到别人给予的东西，这里不合适；C 选项 “grasped（抓住，领会）” 与语境不符；D 选项 “spotted（发现，认出）” 符合看到垃圾袋这一语境，所以选择 D 选项。 42. B 解析：此处描述东西从破损的礼品包装里呈现出来的状态，A 选项 “running（跑，流淌）” 不符合物品从包装里出来的状态；C 选项 “falling（掉落）” 一般侧重从高处落下；D 选项 “jumping（跳跃）” 不符合语境；B 选项 “spilling（溢出，洒出）” 能形象地体现出物品从破损包装里散出来的样子，所以选择 B 选项。 43. C 解析：这里说的是工作人员把袋子带到总部后，关于礼物丢失情况的反馈。A 选项 “found” 强调自身发现，并非向他人传达丢失信息；B 选项 “considered” 意为 “考虑；认为”，与 “礼物丢失” 搭配无法表达报告丢失这一行为；D 选项 “seen” 仅表示看到，没有体现出报告的意思。C 选项 “reported” 表示 “报告”，即没有人向总部报告有礼物丢失，符合逻辑，所以选 C。 44. B 解析：他们在 Facebook 上发布消息，期望消息能被失主看到。A 选项 “stop” 表示 “停止”，消息停止在某人眼前语义不通；C 选项 “spread” 虽有 “传播” 之意，但传播不意味着能精准到达失主那里；D 选项 “rise” 意为 “上升”，与消息被特定人看到毫无关联。B 选项 “land” 有 “使…… 到达；落入” 的含义，“land in front of the right eyes” 形象地表达了消息能被正确的人（失主）看到，所以选 B。B 45. A 解析：这里表示离圣诞节早晨只有一觉之隔了，也就是只剩一晚的时间了，A 选项 “mile（英里）” 表示距离单位不符合；C 选项 “block（街区，障碍物）” 不符合时间方面的语境；D 选项 “step（步，脚步）” 也不符合；B 选项 “sleep（睡眠）” 能形象地体现出时间间隔短，所以选择 B 选项。 46. D 解析：Kane 结束了他当天的 “轮班” 工作。A 选项 “mission” 意为 “任务”；B 选项 “career” 意为 “职业”；C 选项 “post” 意为 “岗位；邮件”，这里强调的是当天的工作时段，D 选项 “shift” 有 “轮班” 的意思，符合语境，所以选 D。 47. B 解析：Kane 告知夜班工作人员 Voie 关于袋子的事，并推测可能有人会做出的与丢失礼物相关的行为。A 选项 “turn around” 有 “转身；好转” 之意，与有人联系处理丢失礼物无关；C 选项 “give up” 表示 “放弃”，在这种情境下，没有理由认为有人会放弃寻找丢失礼物；D 选项 “break down” 意为 “出故障；崩溃”，不符合有人处理丢失礼物的情境。B 选项 “call in” 表示 “打电话来”，符合 Kane 认为可能有人打电话来认领礼物的推测，所以选 B。 48. A 解析：该空涉及对丢失礼物认领行为的处理方式，且与礼品卡上的名字相关。B 选项 “denied” 意为 “否认”，在处理认领时，通常先确认而非直接否认；C 选项 “submitted” 表示 “提交”，这里不是提交认领，而是确认认领是否真实；D 选项 “rejected” 表示 “拒绝”，同样不符合先确认的处理流程。A 选项 “confirmed” 意思是 “确认”，即通过礼品卡上的名字来确认认领是否属实，符合处理认领的正常逻辑，所以选 A。 49. C 解析：工作人员努力寻找的是礼物的所属者。A 选项 “bosses” 指 “老板”，与礼物所属关系不大；B 选项 “customers” 一般指商业场景中的顾客，在此处寻找丢失礼物主人的情境中不合适；D 选项 “inventors” 意为 “发明家”，与礼物的归属毫无关系。C 选项 “owners” 表示 “主人”，工作人员追踪礼物的主人，符合语境，所以选 C。 50. B 解析：此空描述 David Carlile 打电话时表明自己与丢失袋子的关系。A 选项 “suggested” 有 “建议；表明” 之意，但 “suggested having lost a bag” 不能准确传达他主动告知丢袋子的意思；C 选项 “regretted” 表示 “后悔”，打电话主要是告知丢袋子这一事实，并非表达后悔；D 选项 “remembered” 意为 “记得”，相比之下，不如 “claimed” 能直接体现他声称自己丢了袋子的主动告知行为。B 选项 “claimed” 表示 “声称；宣称”，符合 Carlile 打电话告知自己丢袋子的情境，所以选 B。 51. D 解析：根据后文 “before his grandchildren woke up” 可知，Carlile 当时是在去看望特定对象的路上袋子掉落。A 选项 “friends” 是 “朋友”，B 选项 “colleagues” 是 “同事”，C 选项 “parents” 是 “父母”，均与后文提到的 “grandchildren” 不符。所以，Carlile 去看望的是孙子孙女，D 选项 “grandchildren” 正确。 52. A 解析：该空需描述 Carlile 在圣诞夜试图补上丢失礼物时的状态。B 选项 “deliberately” 表示 “故意地”，不能体现他因礼物丢失且要在孙子孙女醒来前补上礼物的急切心情；C 选项 “sincerely” 意为 “真诚地”，与补礼物时着急的状态无关；D 选项 “happily” 表示 “快乐地”，在礼物丢失且时间紧迫的情况下，不太可能快乐地补礼物。A 选项 “desperately” 有 “拼命地；绝望地” 之意，符合他着急补上礼物的状态，所以选 A。 53. C 解析：Carlile 开车回去重新包装的是之前丢失又找回的东西，即礼物。A 选项 “cards” 指 “卡片”，前文提到的主要是网球鞋和玩具等礼物，并非卡片；B 选项 “bags” 是 “袋子”，重点是重新包装礼物本身，而非袋子；D 选项 “letters” 是 “信件”，与前文礼物内容不符。C 选项 “items” 可表示 “物品”，能指代那些丢失又找回的礼物，符合语境，所以选 C。 54. D 解析：此空描述 Voie 对在节日夜晚工作且错过节日的感受。A 选项 “amazing” 意为 “令人惊奇的”，在节日工作错过节日通常不会让人感到惊奇；B 选项 “hopeless” 表示 “绝望的”，程度过重，只是错过节日不至于绝望；C 选项 “ideal” 意为 “理想的”，在节日工作错过节日显然不是理想的情况。D 选项 “hard” 表示 “艰难的”，在节日夜晚工作，错过与家人团聚过节，这种情况会让人觉得艰难，符合 Voie 的感受，所以选 D。 55. C 解析：该空描述 Voie 在能够帮助别人让其圣诞节变得更好之后的感受。A 选项 “skillful” 表示 “熟练的”，帮助他人改善圣诞节体验与技能熟练程度并无直接关联；B 选项 “confident” 意为 “自信的”，语境强调的是帮助他人后的成就感，而非自信；D 选项 “smart” 表示 “聪明的”，与帮助他人后的感受联系不紧密。C 选项 “proud” 有 “自豪的” 之意，能够通过自己的行为让别人的圣诞节更好，会让人产生自豪的感觉，符合语境，所以选 C。 语法填空 语篇解读 这篇短文主要围绕中国网红李子柒发布的关于漆器的最新视频展开，介绍了由此引发的大众对生漆及其工艺的关注。 56. from 解析：“be collected from...” 是固定搭配，意为 “从…… 收集”，这里表示生漆是从漆树中采集而来，所以用 from。 57. decoration 解析：of 是介词，后接名词，decorate 的名词形式是 decoration，“a form of decoration” 表示 “一种装饰形式”，故填 decoration。 58. was used 解析：分析句子结构，which 引导非限制性定语从句，指代先行词 raw lacquer，与 use 之间是被动关系，且描述的是古代的情况，应用一般过去时的被动语态，即 was/were + 过去分词，主语是单数，所以用 was used。 59. where 解析：先行词是 “the southern regions”，在从句 “the environmental conditions favor their growth” 中作地点状语，所以用关系副词 where 引导定语从句。 60. before 解析：根据语境，漆树必须至少成熟八年 “才能” 采集树液，before 引导时间状语从句，可表示 “在…… 之前；才”，符合句意，故填 before。 61. the 解析：此处特指用漆器工艺制作衣柜门的过程，所以用定冠词 the 表特指。 62. Consisting 解析：分析句子，句子已有谓语 was，consist of“由…… 组成” 无被动形式，所以这里用现在分词作状语，故填 Consisting。 63. to harvest 解析：这里用动词不定式作目的状语，表示她爬上木梯的目的是采集漆树树液，所以填 to harvest。 64. swollen 解析：leave + 宾语 + 宾语补足语，此处 skin 与 swell 之间是被动关系，即 “皮肤处于肿胀的状态”，swell 的过去分词形式 swollen 可作宾语补足语，所以填 swollen。 65. global 解析：修饰名词 trade，应用形容词，globe 的形容词形式是 global，“global trade” 表示 “全球贸易”，故填 global。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null湖北省2024一2025学年秋季学期高二期末联考 英语试卷 命题单位：襄阳市教科院 审题单位：宜昌市教科院荆州市教科院 2025.1 本试卷共12页。全卷满分150分。考试用时120分钟。 ★祝考试硕利★ 注意事项： 1.答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡对应题目的答案标号涂黑 如需改动，用橡皮擦千净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择題时，将答案写在答题卡 上。写在本试卷上无效。 3.考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 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。 例：How much is the shirt?

Hike the hills and watch seasonal birds as they head to Cuba's wetlands and forests. 3.Finnish Lapland Stay cool in an ice hotel,like Arctic Snow Hotel,which is rebuilt by hand every winter. Adrenaline(肾上腺素)levels can be raised by snowmobiling,cross-country skiing,or Aretic swimming.December is also a prime month for the Northern Lights.Visit before Christmas for a special meeting with Santa.Shop for souvenirs made from local materials like reindeer leather. 4.Austria Early December is the start of Europe's ski season,but the masses won't arrive until the middle of the month.Austria is snow-sure compared to surrounding countries,and you can be sure of fresh powder at higher peaks.And if snowy peaks aren't scenic enough,lights and seasonal Christmas markets give Austria the festive feeling. 21.Which destination appeals to those enjoying warm sunshine by the seaside? A.Edinburgh. B.Cuba. C.Finnish Lapland. D.Austria. 22.What can tourists do in Finnish Lapland? A.Build an ice hotel by hand. B.Buy souvenirs made by Santa.

B.The beautiful scenery. C.Reliable snow conditions. D.Towering snowy peaks. B Although I have been unconsciously collecting stories about my family ever since I was born,it was only this summer that I decided to start reaching out for more stories.In a family wedding,seeing so many extended family members and putting faces to stories,I found myself grasping at every information while listening.I wanted to find stories I hadn't been told before to piece together frequently repeated ones. But recording stories is not an organized process,especially since these stories can come out of nowhere.Family stories are everywhere,yet there are still so many gaps.How can you create a timeline when you are given only flashing images of unfamiliar classrooms,the woods, and far-off adventures？Later,I realize that family stories are not linear(线性的).Rather, they are a collection of memories and moments that I am building upon to form a better idea of who I am and where I came from. 高二英语试卷第4页（共12页） Whenever I speak to my grandparents about their pasts-stories of hardship,tolerance, and success-I am always amazed at the qualities and spirits they exhibited.Some are personal details,which not only give me insight into what life was like back then,but further expose me to the different cultures where I have grown up.Then,there are historical pieces such as my grandmother's memorable 13th birthday when she learned about the outbreak of World War II on the radio.They are unique to my family but shaped by the broader historical context. There is no end date for this project,and at some point I will contribute my own.Mine- gathered from paper notes,Face-time calls and letters-grow longer with each addition. Documenting stories is honoring family traditions,preserving world history,and paying respect to those who shaped you.For me,the collection has developed my awareness of my identity and the world around me.It is my responsibility to ensure that my family stories are not lost to time. 24.What did the author do after attending the wedding? A.He collected stories actively. B.He waited for stories to appear. C.He put faces to stories he heard. D.He reached out for stories told before. 25.What makes recording family stories challenging? A.They have few gaps. B.They come in time order. C.They appear unexpectedly. D.They include life images. 26.What does the author think of his grandparents'stories? A.They are centered on hardships. B.They are purely personal details. C.They leave him deeply sorrowful. D.They help him understand the past. 27.What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A.The process of finding stories. B.The necessity of adding stories. C.The method of collecting stories. D.The significance of recording stories. 0 Sisyphus,a well-known king in Greek mythology,was sentenced to forever suffering in the underworld by the angry gods:he had to roll a huge rock up a hill.When he reached the top, the stone would roll back down to the bottom,and he would have to start all over,on and on, forever.Nowadays,any task combining boredom,struggle,stress,and futility()might be labeled "Sisyphean".One could even argue that all of life is Sisyphean:we eat just to get hungry again,and shower just to get dirty again,day after day,until the end. 高二英语试卷第5页（共12页） Absurd(荒谬的)，isn'tit?Albert Camus,the philosopher and Father of Absurdism thinks so.In his book The Myth of Sisyphus,Camus selects Sisyphus as a representative of the absurd.And yet Camus concludes,"One must imagine Sisyphus happy,because the struggle itself towards the heights is enough to fill a man's heart." This may seem impossible,but this unexpected insight in Camus'philosophy of life and happiness can help you change your perspective and see your daily struggles in a new way. Instead of feeling desperation at the futility of life,Camus tells us to consciously accept its ridiculousness as the only way to arrive at happiness. In fact,each of us can carry out Camus'absurdism with mindfulness in order to live a happy life.When the broad sweep of life brings you horror,just concentrate on this moment, and enjoy it.The pleasure and meaning you can find right now are real;the meaninglessness of the future is not. On my bad days,I wake up seeing only rocks and can't face pushing them once again up that hill.Those are the days when my old friend Camus comes in handy.Rather than feeling despairing of the absurdity of life,I dive into it,laugh at it,and start my day in a light mood. Then I gather my beloved rocks and set out for the nearest hill. 28.What punishment did Sisyphus receive? A.He had to climb up and down a hill. B.He had to move a stone up a hill repeatedly C.He was sentenced to living in the underworld. D.He was stopped from reaching the top of a hill. 29.Why does Camus think Sisyphus is happy? A.He has enough suffering B.He can keep himself engaged. C.He is selected as a representative. D.He can always start over his work. 30.What will you do in a traffic jam according to Camus'philosophy? A.Enjoy music in the car. B.Flash headlights repeatedly. C.Complain of the busy traffic. D.Regret choosing the wrong route. 高二英语试卷第6页（共12页） 31.What is the best title of the text? A.Avoiding a Sisyphean Life B.Exploring Camus'Philosophy C.Finding Joy in Ridiculousness D.Accepting Happiness Consciously D Climate change is making flights rougher,meaning your plane ride will have more rocky conditions.According to a 2024 study,the aircraft jolt caused by turbulence (in some locations increased by as much as 55 percent from 1979 to 2020.The good news is,according to Swansea University experts,that birds'perception of the wind may be useful in forecasting turbulence. Birds frequently fly over thousands of kilometers,and the amount of energy they must consume while traveling depends on wind direction,speed,and turbulence.Catching the wrong winds can also be the difference between life and death when you're running low on supplies at the end of a life-changing journey halfway around the globe.Some species reach very high altitudes,although most don't fly alongside commercial jets. Emily Shepard,an expert in bird flight and air flow and her colleagues at Swansea University's Laboratory for Animal Movement hope to "visualize the invisible"and chart the movements of the air by examining how these birds react to turbulence. Shepard's team flew an aircraft alongside a group of homing pigeons from 2018 to 2019. They recorded the turbulence levels during the birds'flights back to their nests using GPS and acceleration data recorders fixed to the birds-a total of 88 flights.The team flew in a range of weather situations,including early mornings,later in the day,and several seasons Experts said birds might serve as mobile meteorological(气象学的）sensors,gathering information about any disturbance they encounter as they fly.Not only can birds fly in conditions that planes cannot,Shepard continues,but this would also be less expensive than employing sensors fixed to aircraft.This knowledge is critical to the airline business and weather science at large because it enables meteorologists and pilots to forecast and manage turbulence more effectively. While certain potentials exist for modern aircraft technologies to detect and avoid turbulence,research on animal behavior in the air may offer a fresh and more insightful method of comprehending this phenomenon. 高二英语试卷第7页（共12页） 32.What does the underlined word "jolt"in paragraph I mean? A.Flight. B.Acceleration. C.Movement. D.Roughness. 33.Why is it important for birds to perceive the wind? A.To conserve energy. B.To find direction. C.To find enough supplies. D.To reach high altitudes. 34.What is the purpose of the study conducted by Shepard's team? A.To draw birds'flying patterns B.To improve the aircraft design. C.To predict turbulence effectively. D.To analyze birds'reactions to turbulence. 35.How might birds contribute to meteorology and air travel? A.By avoiding turbulence during flights. B.By serving as economical mobile sensors. C.By reducing the need for weather aircraft. D.By predicting weather patterns on their own. 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。 Imagine that you are feeling down and inadequate.Someone who loves you wants to help by saying something really comforting.How about "You're perfect just the way you are"?That sounds nice!36 The truth is that you are not perfect,and neither is anyone else. We humans have a natural tendency to overstate our positive qualities,and compare ourselves favorably with others.37 And it gives rise to all sorts of misrepresentations in how we see ourselves and the world around us.For example,back in the 1980s,researchers showed that up to 80 percent of motorists considered themselves to have above-average driving skills. 38 It acts as shelter from the mental pain that comes from negative comparisons with others.Being told that you're wonderful,even perfect,meets your need of self-enhancement. Although self-enhancement feels good in the short term,it is not a long-term solution to life's problems.For instance,researchers showed that when college students held an 高二英语试卷第8页（共12页） overestimated view of their own academic ability,it enhanced their mood and positive emotion. 39 In fact,the students tended to fail at their academic expectations,and that in part led to lower self-respect over the long term. So we face a dilemma in life:we want to feel better and make others feel better,but people's tendency to do so through self-enhancement is a short-lived solution with possibly enduring ultimate costs.A better approach might be to reconsider our imperfections,and those of others,not as shortcomings but as interesting challenges to overcome.40 A.It helps us to avoid negative feedback. B.This is what we call self-enhancement. C.One reason for this tendency is its protective function. D.Being told you're perfect can make you feel good temporarily. E.After all,if you're already perfect,what is there left to fight for? F.This,however,may be the most misleading thing that people tell us. G.But the overestimation did not translate into better academic performance. 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。 After a bag of presents fell out of Santa's sleigh ()cleaners saved the day.Last Christmas Eve,Kane and Ramey,two highway workers 41 a broken bag.Inside were tennis shoes and toys,42 out of the broken gift wrapper.Kane and Ramey brought the bag to headquarters,but nobody had 43 gifts missing.They made a Facebook post,hoping it would 44 in front of the right eyes soon.After all,Christmas morning was only one 45 away.
