The admission isn’t free but is definitely worthwhile for unique exhibits like this. We’ll be taking a self-guided tour but there may also be museum staff on hand. About the exhibition On this exhibition, you will be surprised to find that the sunken Titanic was discovered by Robert Ballard, who was then carrying out a top secret Cold War mission. In 1985, Ballard’s mission was to dive to depths of 9,800 feet using a camera system called Argo to find and document the exploded remains of the submarine (潜艇) Scorpion. The objective of the mission was to gain evidence to determine what led to her loss. After concluding his successful investigations, Ballard used the final 12 days of his expedition to discover the remains of Titanic. The exhibition, originally exhibited at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum, shows the history of the discovery from an entirely new angle. Not only are visitors exposed to the historical events that led to the ship’s finding, but they can hear the fascinating stories of some of the passengers on board. In addition to items borrowed from families of the survivors that have not been reunited since the night when the ship sank in 1912, the exhibition contains those from the rich collections of the National Archives and the 20th Century Fox Archives. There are also movie sets and clothes worn by actors from the 1997 movie Titanic. Price Regular: $15 Seniors/Students/Military: $12 Children 5-12 (free under 5): $10 21. What can we know about the exhibition? A. The remains of the Titanic will be exhibited. B. The visitors will be guided by the museum staff. C. The visitors can know many stories of the passengers. D. It contains items donated by the families of the survivors. 22. What may Ballard be? A. A survivor of the Titanic. B. A staff of the museum. C. A soldier of the navy. D. An oceanologist. 23. If a soldier takes his son, a fourth-grade student, to the exhibition, how much should he pay? A. $25. B. $22. C. $24. D. $12. B A native of Florida, U.S, Hannah Herbst, 17, uses water power to deal with energy poverty. Herbst has risen to fame with the development of BEACON, an ocean energy probe that seeks to offer a stable power source to developing countries by using untapped energy from ocean currents. She told Teen Vogue, “I was really involved in theater and athletics and I’m still really into those things. When I was in the seventh grade, I was put into a summer camp. The minute I got there I realized that I was the only girl in the program. I wanted to quit at that moment. But my dad told me, ‘Just try it.’ I tried it for that day and it changed my life.” “At the camp, we started building the robots, which was something I had never done before but many of the boys had, and I realized it was a platform for problem-solving. We were solving simple tasks like how to push a robot off a platform. Learning from my partners as well as online articles about how to program and build was really interesting to me,” said Herbst. Later that year, she received a letter from her pen pal, Ruth, who lived in Ethiopia, and learned that she was living in energy poverty with minimal access to electricity and medical supplies. “I knew that I wanted to do something to help, so I created BEACON.” she said. The device is made from 90% recycled materials easily found throughout the world, including 2-liter bottles and recycled spoons. It costs $12 to make and can produce enough electricity to power an LED light. Hannah imagines BEACON being used in developing countries to power pumps for fresh water and she is working on polishing it to get it available to people all over the world. 24. What can we know about Hannah Herbst in the second and third paragraphs? A. She just liked to learn how to build robots. B. She wanted to stay here because she is the only girl. C. She learned at least two techniques during the camp. D. She was attracted to the summer camp right from the start. 25. How did Hannah Herbst feel after she received a letter from her pen pal? A. indifferent B. shocked C. light-hearted D. sympathetic 26. What can we learn about BEACON from the article? A. It costs 12 dollars each and still remains to be improved. B. It is recyclable and available to people across the world. C. It has been used in developing countries to power pumps. D. The electricity it generates can be used with many traditional lamps. 27. Which section in the magazine might this passage come from? A. Affairs B. Personage C. Science D. Economics C Collecting must be one of the most varied human activities, and it’s one that many of us psychologists find fascinating. Accumulating hundreds or even thousands of postcards, chocolate wrappers or whatever, takes time, energy and money that could surely be put into more productive use. And yet there are millions of collectors around the world. Why do they do it? There are the people who collect because they want to make money. It could be called an instrumental (起作用的) reason for collecting; collecting is a means to achieve the aim. They’ll look for, for instance, antiques that they can buy cheaply and expect to be able to sell at a profit. But there may well be a psychological element, too. Buying cheap and selling dear can give the collector a sense of triumph. In addition, many collectors collect to develop their social life, attending meetings of a group of collectors and exchanging information on items. This is a variant on joining a bridge club or a gym, and similarly brings them into contact with like-minded people. One reason, conscious or not, for what someone chooses to collect is to show the collector’s individualism. Someone who decides to collect something as unexpected as dog collars, for instance, may be conveying their belief that they must be interesting themselves. And believe it or not, there is at least one dog collar museum in existence, and it grew out of a personal collection. Of course, all hobbies give pleasure, but the common factor in collecting is usually passion: pleasure is putting it far too mildly. More than most other hobbies, collecting can be totally engrossing, and can give a strong sense of personal achievement. To non-collectors, it may appear a strange way of spending time, but potentially, collecting has a lot going for its future. 28. What can we infer from the first two paragraphs? A. Some collectors may end up regarding collecting as a profit. B. Collecting lovers improperly attach practical usage to their collections. C. Antique collectors may have a competitive aim in antique consumption. D Collecting activities are likely to be different from other human activities. 29. What does the last but one paragraph mainly focus on? A. The uniqueness of collections. B. Emotional cause of collecting. C. The personal preference of collectors. D. Possible extension of specific collecting. 30 Which of the opinion below may a collector hold according to the article? A. I am special because I am a crazy collector of candy packages. B. I believe collecting has a clear future of further development. C. Some of my collecting activities occur when I develop my social life. D. There are opponents around me who think I am doing something odd. 31. What is the most suitable title for this passage? A. The Varieties of Collecting. B. The Motives for Collecting. C. The Popularity of Collecting. D. The Development of Collecting. D Shoppers in the UK are spending less money on toilet paper to save money, the research has shown. Penny-pinching UK consumers choose cheaper products from discounters such as Aldi and Lidl rather than luxury alternatives. This has wiped 6% off the value of the soft tissue paper market in the UK. It has shrunk from £1.19 billion in 2021 to £1.12 billion in 2023, according to a new report from the market research company Mintel. Furthermore, the future of the market looks far from rosy, with sales expected to fall further to £1.11 billion in 2026. In the last year alone, despite an increase in the UK population and a subsequent rise in the number of households, sales of toilet paper fell by 2%, with the average household reducing their toilet roll spending from £43 in 2022 to £41 in 2023. Overall, almost three in five people say they try to limit their usage of paper — including facial tissue and kitchen roll — to save money. “Strength, softness and thickness remain the leading indicators of toilet paper quality” said Mintel analyst Jack Duckett. “Extra features like flowers and perfume smells are deemed unnecessary by the majority of shoppers, which probably reflects how these types of products are typically more expensive than regular toilet paper, even when on special offer.” While consumers are spending less on toilet paper, they remain fastidious — in theory at least — when it comes to paper quality. Top of Britons’ toilet paper wish list is softness (57%) followed by strength (45%) and thickness (36%). One in ten buyers rank toilet rolls made from recycled paper among their top considerations, highlighting that the environment is much less of a consideration for shoppers than product quality. In a challenge for manufacturers, 81% of paper product users said they would consider buying recycled toilet tissue if it were comparable in quality to standard paper. 32. What will the development trend of the tissue paper market look like in the future? A. It will remain depressing. B. It will expand in time. C. It will be unpredictable. D. It will recover as population grows. 33. What does Jack Duckett think about toilet paper? A. Consumers are loyal to certain brands. B. Special offers would promote its sales. C. Luxurious features add much to the price. D. Consumers are more likely to choose toilet paper of better quality. 34. Which of the words below can best explain the underlined word in the sixth paragraph? A. casual B. picky C. uncertain D. mean 35. What does the last paragraph imply? A. More and more Britons buy recycled toilet paper to protect the environment. B. Toilet paper manufacturers are facing a great challenge in promoting its sales. C. Toilet paper manufacturers compete with one another to improve product quality. D. Environmental protection is not much of a concern when Britons buy toilet paper. 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。 Stop Being a People Pleaser If you struggle to say no or find it difficult to express your own needs, it might be time to put yourself first. On the surface, being a people pleaser might seem like just being a bit too nice, always saying yes to everyone. ____36____ It might be so automatic that you don’t even realize you’re doing it. Signs showing you’re a people pleaser There are various types of people pleasers and the common signs include never expressing your own needs or ideas and constantly saying yes to others’ plans, whether at work, at home, or with friends. “They appear agreeable and easy-going but are actually disadvantaging themselves by prioritizing everyone else,” Johnson, a therapist at BACP, explains. ____37____ This behaviour is likely an unconscious response learned as a coping mechanism from past experiences. Where does it come from? Growing up in a household or being in relationships where obedience and keeping the peace were encouraged can lead to these patterns continuing into adulthood. ____38____ In extreme cases people may have only received love when following others’ needs, making them feel forced to keep giving. Long-term damage Suppressing your emotions can lead to long-term anxiety, depression, and fear-based responses, Johnson notes. Pleasing others at the expense of yourself reinforces the belief that you’re not worthy or lovable. ____39____ “You give people permission to step on you, but inside, you’re hurt and feel rejected and unheard,” says Johnson. ____40____ Remember, it’s not your mistake. Be proud that you found a way to survive and give yourself permission to let go of that behavior. Stop seeking approval for things you don’t need to. Practise being assertive—it doesn’t mean being aggressive but expressing your preferences, like where you want to go for dinner. Learning to put yourself first can be challenging, but it’s essential for your well-being. A. How can you stop people pleasing? B. How to stop finding your own fault? C. Without boundaries, you may feel isolated and misunderstood. D. People pleasers often say “sorry” and are habitually indecisive. E. Set boundaries and start saying no to things that cause you stress. F. An overbearing parent can lead to a child struggling with independence later in life. G. However, therapists warn that it could be harming your emotional and mental health. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5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。 As a strategist of a company, I have long been accustomed to ____41____ with an air of authority. Constantly playing the role of the all-knowing expert, however, has proven to be extremely annoying and exhausting. Seeking an escape from the dull routine, I found myself on a sun-baked sandy beach, a total ____42____ in the surfing domain, with a surfboard clutched firmly under my arm. My heart ____43____ with a blend of uneasiness and anticipation, ready to break away from my tiresome routine and welcome the unknown. My instructor directed my attention to the thunderous, five-foot waves pounding violently onto the shore. With great patience and skill, he ____44____ the proper technique for pushing the board through the whirling waters. When we were finally waist-deep, he ____45____ showed me how to perform a smooth turn and slip back to the safety of the ____46____. The next attempt, I ____47____ onto the board in a clumsy way. I placed both hands firmly on its surface and jumped, only to ____48____ with a wet thud (砰然声) on my stomach. But the moment I managed to stand unsteadily on the board for the first time, a profound sense of delight washed over me, erasing any sign of ____49____. After several more unsuccessful tries, I sprang up once more, eager for another ____50____ ride. I pushed myself again and again, understanding that each ____51____ was a stepping stone towards ultimate success, and the sheer joy of the new experience ____52____ my passion for exploration within me. After weeks of dedicated practice, my ___53___ gradually became more fluid and graceful. My journey of learning to surf allowed me to taste the freedom that ____54____ surfers cherish a lot. Most significantly, I grasped the crucial lesson that rather than maintaining the appearance of the all-knowing expert, I should approach the world with never-ending curiosity, ready to ____55____ whatever challenges and wonders lie in store. 41.

His life had been tough since the factory closure left him unemployed. The road was desolate, with few reasons for people to be on it unless they were departing. Most of his friends had left to seek better prospects elsewhere. But he stayed on. This was where he was rooted. He was born here and he knew the country. It was starting to get dark and light snow flurries were coming down. He’d better get a move on. Suddenly, he noticed an old lady stuck beside her Mercedes, seemingly in trouble. Despite the dim light, he could sense her need for help. He pulled up, his Pontiac making a sputtering sound. The old lady was visibly alert as no one had stopped to assist her for quite a while. She might have thought he looked a bit shabby and untrustworthy. But he reassured her with a warm smile and introduced himself as Bryan. It turned out that she had a flat tire. Bryan got down under the car to find a suitable spot for the jack (千斤顶), getting his hands dirty and even scraping his knuckles. After some efforts, he managed to change the tire. While he was tightening the parts, the old lady started a conversation, revealing that she was from St. Louis and only just passing through. She was extremely grateful, asking, “How much do I owe you?” Bryan, however, regarded this not as a job but an act of kindness, so he replied patiently, “If you really want to repay me, the next time you see someone in need, you can offer a helping hand and remember me.” A few miles down the road the lady saw a small cafe. She was longing to grab a bite to eat, and take the chill off before she made the last leg of her trip home. It was a run-down looking restaurant, outside which were two old gas pumps. The whole scene was unfamiliar to her, making her hesitant. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Para 1: However, upon stepping inside, a nearly eight-month-pregnant waitress greeted her with a warm smile. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para 2: Wondering where the lady could be, the waitress noticed something written on a napkin and 4 more $100 bills underneath. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null 2024-2025学年度上学期期末考试高二年级英语科试卷 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】 Why does the man want to leave?

If there’s anything wrong with the bike, I’ll be in trouble. And the clothes shouldn’t slow you down so they need to be tight. They might feel a bit uncomfortable when you first put them on, but you will soon get used to it. I’m not bothered about not looking pretty — I just want to win. 听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 17.

B 【解析】 【原文】W: Hello, this is Greenhill Studies College. I’m leaving this message in answer to your questions about the Business Studies course. Firstly, you asked when the course starts. It begins on the 12th of June, and finishes on the 11th of July. At the beginning of the course, there are no lectures because we spend time watching business videos. So you won’t need to bring anything for the class, as everything is provided. Don’t forget, however, that although you can bring your own notebook computer if you wish, mobile phones are not allowed in the classroom. I’m afraid these can disturb the classes. You said you’re coming by car. Well, as it’s only a short course, you can use the visitor’s car park which is just beside the main entrance. We’re only a short walk away. Just turn right after the Science Center, cross the staff car park, and you’ll see the door to the Business Studies Department in front of you. Finally, you also wanted to know if it’s possible to attend a language course while you are here. Well, the answer is yes, but we only have room on our Italian classes. Oh, no, actually...there’s one place on the Spanish course too. We usually offer French, Chinese, German and Japanese as well, but there aren’t enough students for those classes this summer. If you want to apply for the course, please sign up before the 5th of June. Thank you. 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 National Geographic Exhibit “Titanic: The Untold Story” The National Geographic Museum is always an interesting and educational place to visit. The admission isn’t free but is definitely worthwhile for unique exhibits like this. We’ll be taking a self-guided tour but there may also be museum staff on hand. About the exhibition On this exhibition, you will be surprised to find that the sunken Titanic was discovered by Robert Ballard, who was then carrying out a top secret Cold War mission. In 1985, Ballard’s mission was to dive to depths of 9,800 feet using a camera system called Argo to find and document the exploded remains of the submarine (潜艇) Scorpion. The objective of the mission was to gain evidence to determine what led to her loss. After concluding his successful investigations, Ballard used the final 12 days of his expedition to discover the remains of Titanic. The exhibition, originally exhibited at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum, shows the history of the discovery from an entirely new angle. Not only are visitors exposed to the historical events that led to the ship’s finding, but they can hear the fascinating stories of some of the passengers on board. In addition to items borrowed from families of the survivors that have not been reunited since the night when the ship sank in 1912, the exhibition contains those from the rich collections of the National Archives and the 20th Century Fox Archives. There are also movie sets and clothes worn by actors from the 1997 movie Titanic. Price Regular: $15 Seniors/Students/Military: $12 Children 5-12 (free under 5): $10 21. What can we know about the exhibition? A. The remains of the Titanic will be exhibited. B. The visitors will be guided by the museum staff. C. The visitors can know many stories of the passengers. D. It contains items donated by the families of the survivors. 22. What may Ballard be? A. A survivor of the Titanic. B. A staff of the museum. C. A soldier of the navy. D. An oceanologist. 23. If a soldier takes his son, a fourth-grade student, to the exhibition, how much should he pay? A. $25. B. $22. C. $24. D. $12. 【答案】21. C 22. D 23. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了国家地理博物馆的“泰坦尼克：未讲述的故事”展览，包括其发现历史、展品内容及票价信息。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据About the exhibition部分中“Not only are visitors exposed to the historical events that led to the ship’s finding, but they can hear the fascinating stories of some of the passengers on board.(参观者不仅可以了解到导致船只被发现的历史事件，还可以听到船上一些乘客的迷人故事)”可知，参观者可以知道很多乘客的故事。故选C。 【22题详解】 推理判断题。根据About the exhibition部分中“On this exhibition, you will be surprised to find that the sunken Titanic was discovered by Robert Ballard, who was then carrying out a top secret Cold War mission. In 1985, Ballard’s mission was to dive to depths of 9,800 feet using a camera system called Argo to find and document the exploded remains of the submarine (潜艇) Scorpion. The objective of the mission was to gain evidence to determine what led to her loss. After concluding his successful investigations, Ballard used the final 12 days of his expedition to discover the remains of Titanic.(在这个展览中，你会惊讶地发现沉没的泰坦尼克号是由罗伯特·巴拉德发现的，当时他正在执行一项绝密的冷战任务。1985年，巴拉德的任务是使用一种名为Argo的摄像系统下潜到9800英尺的深度，以寻找并记录潜艇Scorpion爆炸后的残骸。该任务的目标是获取证据以确定其失联的原因。在成功完成这些调查后，巴拉德利用探险队最后的12天发现了泰坦尼克号的残骸)”可知，Robert Ballard在1985年执行了一次深海潜水任务时发现了泰坦尼克号的残骸。这表明他具备进行深海探索的专业知识和技能，最有可能的职业是海洋学家。故选D。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据Price部分中“Seniors/Students/Military:12；Children 5-12 (free under 5): $10(老年人/学生/军人：12美元；5至12岁儿童(5岁以下免费))”可知，一个士兵(12美元)带着他四年级的儿子(10美元)去参观展览，总费用为12 + 10 = 22 (美元)。故选B。 B A native of Florida, U.S, Hannah Herbst, 17, uses water power to deal with energy poverty. Herbst has risen to fame with the development of BEACON, an ocean energy probe that seeks to offer a stable power source to developing countries by using untapped energy from ocean currents. She told Teen Vogue, “I was really involved in theater and athletics and I’m still really into those things. When I was in the seventh grade, I was put into a summer camp. The minute I got there I realized that I was the only girl in the program. I wanted to quit at that moment. But my dad told me, ‘Just try it.’ I tried it for that day and it changed my life.” “At the camp, we started building the robots, which was something I had never done before but many of the boys had, and I realized it was a platform for problem-solving. We were solving simple tasks like how to push a robot off a platform. Learning from my partners as well as online articles about how to program and build was really interesting to me,” said Herbst. Later that year, she received a letter from her pen pal, Ruth, who lived in Ethiopia, and learned that she was living in energy poverty with minimal access to electricity and medical supplies. “I knew that I wanted to do something to help, so I created BEACON.” she said. The device is made from 90% recycled materials easily found throughout the world, including 2-liter bottles and recycled spoons. It costs $12 to make and can produce enough electricity to power an LED light. Hannah imagines BEACON being used in developing countries to power pumps for fresh water and she is working on polishing it to get it available to people all over the world. 24. What can we know about Hannah Herbst in the second and third paragraphs? A. She just liked to learn how to build robots. B. She wanted to stay here because she is the only girl. C. She learned at least two techniques during the camp. D. She was attracted to the summer camp right from the start. 25. How did Hannah Herbst feel after she received a letter from her pen pal? A. indifferent B. shocked C. light-hearted D. sympathetic 26. What can we learn about BEACON from the article? A. It costs 12 dollars each and still remains to be improved. B. It is recyclable and available to people across the world. C. It has been used in developing countries to power pumps. D. The electricity it generates can be used with many traditional lamps. 27. Which section in the magazine might this passage come from? A. Affairs B. Personage C. Science D. Economics 【答案】24 C 25. D 26. A 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了汉娜·赫斯特利用海洋能源解决能源贫困的故事。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第三段中““At the camp, we started building the robots, which was something I had never done before but many of the boys had, and I realized it was a platform for problem-solving. We were solving simple tasks like how to push a robot off a platform. Learning from my partners as well as online articles about how to program and build was really interesting to me,” said Herbst. (“在营地，我们开始制作机器人，这是我以前从未做过的事情，但很多男孩都做过，我意识到这是一个解决问题的平台。我们解决了一些简单的任务，比如如何把机器人推下平台。从我的合作伙伴以及在线文章中学习如何编程和构建对我来说真的很有趣，”赫布斯特说)”可知，汉娜·赫斯特在夏令营期间至少学到了两项技能，即编程和机器人制作。故选C。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第四段中“Later that year, she received a letter from her pen pal, Ruth, who lived in Ethiopia, and learned that she was living in energy poverty with minimal access to electricity and medical supplies. “I knew that I wanted to do something to help, so I created BEACON.” she said. (那年晚些时候，她收到了住在埃塞俄比亚的笔友露丝的来信，得知她生活在能源匮乏的环境中，几乎没有电力和医疗用品。“我知道我想做点什么来帮助他们，所以我创建了BEACON。”她说)”可知，汉娜·赫斯特在收到笔友的来信后，了解到笔友生活在能源匮乏的环境中，这让她感到同情，并决定制作BEACON来帮助解决这个问题。故选D。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。由文章最后一段中“The device is made from 90% recycled materials easily found throughout the world, including 2-liter bottles and recycled spoons. It costs $12 to make and can produce enough electricity to power an LED light. Hannah imagines BEACON being used in developing countries to power pumps for fresh water and she is working on polishing it to get it available to people all over the world. (该装置由90%的回收材料制成，这些材料在世界各地都很容易找到，包括2升的瓶子和回收的勺子。它的制造成本为12美元，并能产生足够的电力来驱动一盏LED灯。汉娜设想，BEACON可以在发展中国家用于为淡水泵提供动力，她正在对其进行改进，以便让全世界的人都能使用它)”可知，BEACON是由90%的回收材料制成的，每个造价12美元，仍需改进，且汉娜希望它能被用于发展中国家为淡水泵提供动力。故选A。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第一段“A native of Florida, U.S, Hannah Herbst, 17, uses water power to deal with energy poverty. Herbst has risen to fame with the development of BEACON, an ocean energy probe that seeks to offer a stable power source to developing countries by using untapped energy from ocean currents. (17岁的汉娜·赫布斯特（Hannah Herbst）是美国佛罗里达州人，她利用水力来解决能源短缺问题。赫布斯特因开发BEACON而声名鹊起。BEACON是一种海洋能源探测器，旨在利用洋流中未开发的能源，为发展中国家提供稳定的能源)”可知，文章主要讲述了汉娜·赫斯特利用海洋能源解决能源贫困的故事，因此这篇文章可能来自杂志的“人物”版块。故选B。 C Collecting must be one of the most varied human activities, and it’s one that many of us psychologists find fascinating. Accumulating hundreds or even thousands of postcards, chocolate wrappers or whatever, takes time, energy and money that could surely be put into more productive use. And yet there are millions of collectors around the world. Why do they do it? There are the people who collect because they want to make money. It could be called an instrumental (起作用的) reason for collecting; collecting is a means to achieve the aim. They’ll look for, for instance, antiques that they can buy cheaply and expect to be able to sell at a profit. But there may well be a psychological element, too. Buying cheap and selling dear can give the collector a sense of triumph. In addition, many collectors collect to develop their social life, attending meetings of a group of collectors and exchanging information on items. This is a variant on joining a bridge club or a gym, and similarly brings them into contact with like-minded people. One reason, conscious or not, for what someone chooses to collect is to show the collector’s individualism. Someone who decides to collect something as unexpected as dog collars, for instance, may be conveying their belief that they must be interesting themselves. And believe it or not, there is at least one dog collar museum in existence, and it grew out of a personal collection. Of course, all hobbies give pleasure, but the common factor in collecting is usually passion: pleasure is putting it far too mildly. More than most other hobbies, collecting can be totally engrossing, and can give a strong sense of personal achievement. To non-collectors, it may appear a strange way of spending time, but potentially, collecting has a lot going for its future. 28. What can we infer from the first two paragraphs? A. Some collectors may end up regarding collecting as a profit. B. Collecting lovers improperly attach practical usage to their collections. C. Antique collectors may have a competitive aim in antique consumption. D Collecting activities are likely to be different from other human activities. 29. What does the last but one paragraph mainly focus on? A. The uniqueness of collections. B. Emotional cause of collecting. C. The personal preference of collectors. D. Possible extension of specific collecting. 30. Which of the opinion below may a collector hold according to the article? A. I am special because I am a crazy collector of candy packages. B. I believe collecting has a clear future of further development. C. Some of my collecting activities occur when I develop my social life. D. There are opponents around me who think I am doing something odd. 31. What is the most suitable title for this passage? A. The Varieties of Collecting. B. The Motives for Collecting. C. The Popularity of Collecting. D. The Development of Collecting. 【答案】28. A 29. C 30. A 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了人们收藏行为的心理动机和其多样性。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段的“There are the people who collect because they want to make money. It could be called an instrumental (起作用的) reason for collecting; collecting is a means to achieve the aim. They’ll look for, for instance, antiques that they can buy cheaply and expect to be able to sell at a profit.(有些人收集是因为他们想赚钱。这可以被称为收藏的工具性原因；收集是实现这一目标的手段。例如，他们会寻找可以便宜购买并有望盈利的古董。)”可推知，一些收藏家最终可能会把收藏看作是一种利润。故选A项。 【29题详解】 主旨大意题。根据倒数第二段的“One reason, conscious or not, for what someone chooses to collect is to show the collector’s individualism. Someone who decides to collect something as unexpected as dog collars, for instance, may be conveying their belief that they must be interesting themselves. And believe it or not, there is at least one dog collar museum in existence, and it grew out of a personal collection. (有人选择收藏的一个原因，无论是否有意识，都是为了展示收藏家的个人主义。例如，决定收集像狗项圈这样出乎意料的东西的人，可能是在传达他们自己一定很有趣的信念。不管你信不信，至少有一个狗项圈博物馆存在，它是由个人收藏发展而来的。)”可知，本段主要讲述了收藏家选择收藏品的个人偏好，以及这种偏好如何展现他们的个人主义。所以本段的主要关注的是收藏家的个人偏好。故选C项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段的“One reason, conscious or not, for what someone chooses to collect is to show the collector’s individualism. (有人选择收藏的一个原因，无论是否有意识，都是为了展示收藏家的个人主义。)”可知，收藏行为可以是为了展示收藏者的个性，所以A选项I am special because I am a crazy collector of candy packages.(我很特别，因为我是一个疯狂的糖果包装收藏家。) 符合收藏家的观点，收藏者通过这种独特的收藏行为，很可能是想传达自己与众不同、是个特别的人的信念，与原文中通过收藏展示个性的表述相符。故选A项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段“Collecting must be one of the most varied human activities, and it’s one that many of us psychologists find fascinating. Accumulating hundreds or even thousands of postcards, chocolate wrappers or whatever, takes time, energy and money that could surely be put into more productive use. And yet there are millions of collectors around the world. Why do they do it?(收集一定是人类最多样化的活动之一，我们许多心理学家都觉得这很有趣。积累数百甚至数千张明信片、巧克力包装纸或其他任何东西需要时间、精力和金钱，而这些肯定可以投入到更有成效的用途中。然而，世界各地有数百万收藏家。他们为什么这么做？)”可知，文章主要探讨了人们进行收藏的动机。因此最合适的标题为B项The Motives for Collecting(收藏的动机)。故选B项。 D Shoppers in the UK are spending less money on toilet paper to save money the research has shown. Penny-pinching UK consumers choose cheaper products from discounters such as Aldi and Lidl rather than luxury alternatives. This has wiped 6% off the value of the soft tissue paper market in the UK. It has shrunk from £1.19 billion in 2021 to £1.12 billion in 2023, according to a new report from the market research company Mintel. Furthermore, the future of the market looks far from rosy, with sales expected to fall further to £1.11 billion in 2026. In the last year alone, despite an increase in the UK population and a subsequent rise in the number of households, sales of toilet paper fell by 2%, with the average household reducing their toilet roll spending from £43 in 2022 to £41 in 2023. Overall, almost three in five people say they try to limit their usage of paper — including facial tissue and kitchen roll — to save money. “Strength, softness and thickness remain the leading indicators of toilet paper quality” said Mintel analyst Jack Duckett. “Extra features like flowers and perfume smells are deemed unnecessary by the majority of shoppers, which probably reflects how these types of products are typically more expensive than regular toilet paper, even when on special offer.” While consumers are spending less on toilet paper, they remain fastidious — in theory at least — when it comes to paper quality. Top of Britons’ toilet paper wish list is softness (57%) followed by strength (45%) and thickness (36%). One in ten buyers rank toilet rolls made from recycled paper among their top considerations, highlighting that the environment is much less of a consideration for shoppers than product quality. In a challenge for manufacturers, 81% of paper product users said they would consider buying recycled toilet tissue if it were comparable in quality to standard paper. 32. What will the development trend of the tissue paper market look like in the future? A. It will remain depressing. B. It will expand in time. C. It will be unpredictable. D. It will recover as population grows. 33. What does Jack Duckett think about toilet paper? A. Consumers are loyal to certain brands. B. Special offers would promote its sales. C. Luxurious features add much to the price. D. Consumers are more likely to choose toilet paper of better quality. 34. Which of the words below can best explain the underlined word in the sixth paragraph? A. casual B. picky C. uncertain D. mean 35. What does the last paragraph imply? A. More and more Britons buy recycled toilet paper to protect the environment. B. Toilet paper manufacturers are facing a great challenge in promoting its sales. C. Toilet paper manufacturers compete with one another to improve product quality. D. Environmental protection is not much of a concern when Britons buy toilet paper. 【答案】32. A 33. C 34. B 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了英国消费者在节省花费下对厕纸消费的变化趋势及市场挑战。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Furthermore, the future of the market looks far from rosy, with sales expected to fall further to £1.11 billion in 2026.(此外，市场的未来看起来远非乐观，预计2026年的销售额将进一步降至11.1亿英镑)”可知，未来的市场前景不好，估计2016年销售额将进一步降至11.1亿英镑，即它将继续是令人沮丧的。故选A。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“Extra features like flowers and perfume smells are deemed unnecessary by the majority of shoppers, which probably reflects how these types of products are typically more expensive than regular toilet paper, even when on special offer.(大多数购物者认为鲜花和香水味等额外功能是不必要的，这可能反映了这些类型的产品通常比普通卫生纸更贵，即使在特价时也是如此)”可知，Jack Duckett认为鲜花和香水味等额外功能使得这些类型的产品通常比普通卫生纸更贵，即豪华的功能大大增加了卫生纸的价格。故选C。 【34题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第六段“While consumers are spending less on toilet paper, they remain fastidious — in theory at least — when it comes to paper quality. Top of Britons’ toilet paper wish list is softness (57%) followed by strength (45%) and thickness (36%).(虽然消费者在卫生纸上的支出减少了，但至少在理论上，他们在纸张质量方面仍然fastidious。英国人最想要的卫生纸是柔软度（57%），其次是强度（45%）和厚度（36%）)”可知，英国人想要的卫生纸的柔软度、强度和厚度都有明确的标准，由此可推知，英国人在纸张质量方面仍然是挑剔的，划线单词意为“挑剔的”，与picky意义相近。故选B。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“One in ten buyers rank toilet rolls made from recycled paper among their top considerations, highlighting that the environment is much less of a consideration for shoppers than product quality. In a challenge for manufacturers, 81% of paper product users said they would consider buying recycled toilet tissue if it were comparable in quality to standard paper.(十分之一的买家将再生纸制成的卫生纸列为他们的首要考虑因素，强调对购物者来说，环境远不如产品质量重要。在制造商面临的挑战中，81%的纸制品用户表示，如果再生卫生纸的质量与标准纸相当，他们会考虑购买再生卫生纸)”可知，在质量相当的前提下，很多纸制品购买者会考虑购买再生卫生纸，由此可推知，当英国人购买卫生纸时，环境保护并不是一个太大的考虑因素。故选D。 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。 Stop Being a People Pleaser If you struggle to say no or find it difficult to express your own needs, it might be time to put yourself first. On the surface, being a people pleaser might seem like just being a bit too nice, always saying yes to everyone. ____36____ It might be so automatic that you don’t even realize you’re doing it. Signs showing you’re a people pleaser There are various types of people pleasers and the common signs include never expressing your own needs or ideas and constantly saying yes to others’ plans, whether at work, at home, or with friends. “They appear agreeable and easy-going but are actually disadvantaging themselves by prioritizing everyone else,” Johnson, a therapist at BACP, explains. ____37____ This behaviour is likely an unconscious response learned as a coping mechanism from past experiences. Where does it come from? Growing up in a household or being in relationships where obedience and keeping the peace were encouraged can lead to these patterns continuing into adulthood. ____38____ In extreme cases, people may have only received love when following others’ needs, making them feel forced to keep giving. Long-term damage Suppressing your emotions can lead to long-term anxiety, depression, and fear-based responses, Johnson notes. Pleasing others at the expense of yourself reinforces the belief that you’re not worthy or lovable. ____39____ “You give people permission to step on you, but inside, you’re hurt and feel rejected and unheard,” says Johnson. ____40____ Remember, it’s not your mistake. Be proud that you found a way to survive and give yourself permission to let go of that behavior. Stop seeking approval for things you don’t need to. Practise being assertive—it doesn’t mean being aggressive but expressing your preferences, like where you want to go for dinner. Learning to put yourself first can be challenging, but it’s essential for your well-being. A. How can you stop people pleasing? B. How to stop finding your own fault? C. Without boundaries, you may feel isolated and misunderstood. D. People pleasers often say “sorry” and are habitually indecisive. E. Set boundaries and start saying no to things that cause you stress. F. An overbearing parent can lead to a child struggling with independence later in life. G. However, therapists warn that it could be harming your emotional and mental health. 【答案】36. G 37. D 38. F 39. C 40. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要分析了讨好者的特征、成因及其对心理健康的影响，并建议设定界限和自我优先。 【36题详解】 上文“On the surface, being a people pleaser might seem like just being a bit too nice, always saying yes to everyone.(从表面上看，讨人喜欢似乎有点太好了，总是对每个人说“是”)”说明表面上看，讨人喜欢是“好”的，G项“然而，治疗师警告说，这可能会损害你的情绪和心理健康。”与上文形成转折关系，说明实际上讨人喜欢可能会损害你的健康，符合题意。故选G。 【37题详解】 上文““They appear agreeable and easy-going but are actually disadvantaging themselves by prioritizing everyone else,” Johnson, a therapist at BACP, explains.(BACP的治疗师约翰逊解释说：“他们看起来很随和，但实际上因为优先考虑其他人而使自己处于不利地位。”)”说明讨人喜欢的人看起来随和的原因，D项“讨人喜欢的人经常说“对不起”，并且习惯性地犹豫不决。”进一步说明讨人喜欢的人经常做的事情，并引出下文“This behaviour is likely an unconscious response learned as a coping mechanism from past experiences.(这种行为可能是一种无意识的反应，是从过去的经历中学到的应对机制)”，说明讨人喜欢的人的行为产生的原因，D项承上启下，符合题意。故选D。 【38题详解】 上文“Growing up in a household or being in relationships where obedience and keeping the peace were encouraged can lead to these patterns continuing into adulthood.(在一个家庭中或者在鼓励服从和保持和平的关系中长大，可能会导致这些模式持续到成年)”说明家庭关系可能会导致讨人喜欢这种模式持续到成年，F项“专横的父母可能会导致孩子在以后的生活中难以独立。”举例说明家庭中，专横的父母可能会导致这种情况，承接上文，符合题意。故选F。 【39题详解】 上文“Pleasing others at the expense of yourself reinforces the belief that you’re not worthy or lovable.(以牺牲自己为代价讨人喜欢，会强化你不值得或不可爱的信念)”以及下文““You give people permission to step on you, but inside, you’re hurt and feel rejected and unheard,” says Johnson.(约翰逊说：“你允许别人踩你，但在内心深处，你感到受伤，被拒绝和被忽视。”)”说明讨人喜欢会使得你感觉受伤，C项“没有界限，你可能会感到孤立和被误解。”说明牺牲自己以讨人喜欢，会导致你感觉受伤，承上启下，符合题意。故选C。 【40题详解】 下文“Remember, it’s not your mistake. Be proud that you found a way to survive and give yourself permission to let go of that behavior. Stop seeking approval for things you don’t need to. Practise being assertive — it doesn’t mean being aggressive but expressing your preferences, like where you want to go for dinner.(记住，这不是你的错。为你找到了生存的方法而感到自豪，并允许自己放弃这种行为。不要为不需要的事情寻求认可。练习自信——这并不意味着咄咄逼人，而是表达你的偏好，比如你想去哪里吃饭)”说明讨人喜欢这种行为并不是错误，A项“你怎么能阻止人们讨人喜欢呢？”引出下文内容，说明讨人喜欢这种行为有时是无法被阻止的，符合题意。故选A。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5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。 As a strategist of a company, I have long been accustomed to ____41____ with an air of authority. Constantly playing the role of the all-knowing expert, however, has proven to be extremely annoying and exhausting. Seeking an escape from the dull routine, I found myself on a sun-baked sandy beach, a total ____42____ in the surfing domain, with a surfboard clutched firmly under my arm. My heart ____43____ with a blend of uneasiness and anticipation, ready to break away from my tiresome routine and welcome the unknown. My instructor directed my attention to the thunderous, five-foot waves pounding violently onto the shore. With great patience and skill, he ____44____ the proper technique for pushing the board through the whirling waters.

After several more unsuccessful tries, I sprang up once more, eager for another ____50____ ride. I pushed myself again and again, understanding that each ____51____ was a stepping stone towards ultimate success, and the sheer joy of the new experience ____52____ my passion for exploration within me. After weeks of dedicated practice, my ___53___ gradually became more fluid and graceful. My journey of learning to surf allowed me to taste the freedom that ____54____ surfers cherish a lot. Most significantly, I grasped the crucial lesson that rather than maintaining the appearance of the all-knowing expert, I should approach the world with never-ending curiosity, ready to ____55____ whatever challenges and wonders lie in store. 41.

His life had been tough since the factory closure left him unemployed. The road was desolate, with few reasons for people to be on it unless they were departing. Most of his friends had left to seek better prospects elsewhere. But he stayed on. This was where he was rooted. He was born here and he knew the country. It was starting to get dark and light snow flurries were coming down. He’d better get a move on. Suddenly, he noticed an old lady stuck beside her Mercedes, seemingly in trouble. Despite the dim light, he could sense her need for help. He pulled up, his Pontiac making a sputtering sound. The old lady was visibly alert as no one had stopped to assist her for quite a while. She might have thought he looked a bit shabby and untrustworthy. But he reassured her with a warm smile and introduced himself as Bryan. It turned out that she had a flat tire. Bryan got down under the car to find a suitable spot for the jack (千斤顶), getting his hands dirty and even scraping his knuckles. After some efforts, he managed to change the tire. While he was tightening the parts, the old lady started a conversation, revealing that she was from St. Louis and only just passing through. She was extremely grateful, asking, “How much do I owe you?” Bryan, however, regarded this not as a job but an act of kindness, so he replied patiently, “If you really want to repay me, the next time you see someone in need, you can offer a helping hand and remember me.” A few miles down the road the lady saw a small cafe. She was longing to grab a bite to eat, and take the chill off before she made the last leg of her trip home. It was a run-down looking restaurant, outside which were two old gas pumps. The whole scene was unfamiliar to her, making her hesitant. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Para 1: However, upon stepping inside, a nearly eight-month-pregnant waitress greeted her with a warm smile. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para 2: Wondering where the lady could be, the waitress noticed something written on a napkin and 4 more $100 bills underneath. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 However, upon stepping inside, a nearly eight-month-pregnant waitress greeted her with a warm smile. That single act of kindness instantly put her at ease and made her feel welcome in this otherwise strange and run-down place. After seating her at a cozy corner table, the waitress served a hot cup of tea and a bowl of chicken soup, wearing a smile despite pregnancy difficulties. The warmth from the soup spread through her cold and tired body. Throughout the meal, the old lady felt a sense of comfort and gratitude, remembering Bryan’s act of kindness. After the meal, as the waitress fetched change for a hundred, the lady slipped away unnoticed. Wondering where the lady could be, the waitress noticed something written on a napkin and 4 more $100 bills underneath. The note said that the waitress didn’t owe her anything because someone had once helped the old lady in a similar way. It urged her not to let the chain of love break. Tears streamed down her cheeks when she read what the lady wrote. With a baby due next month, the family were facing financial hardships. But the kind act of the old lady gave her hope. After a long and tiring day at work, when she got home, she lay in bed beside her sleeping husband and kissed him gently, whispering almost to herself, “Everything will be okay. I love you, Bryan.” 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了布莱恩帮助了一位轮胎爆胎的老妇人，没有接受老妇人的钱，而是告诉她当看到有需要的人时，可以伸出援手，传递善意。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“然而，一进门，一位怀孕近八个月的女服务员热情地微笑着迎接她。”可知，第一段可描写老妇人与女服务员的互动以及老妇人决定回报服务员的善意。 ②由第二段首句内容“在想这位女士在哪里时，女服务员注意到餐巾上写着什么，下面还有4张100美元的钞票。”可知，第二段可描写女服务员发现老妇人留下的字条和小费后的反应。 2.续写线索：老妇人与女服务员的互动——老妇人留下慷慨的小费——女服务员发现小费和字条——女服务员的感激与决心 3.词汇激活 行为类 ① 使某人放松：put sb. at ease/let sb. relax ② 想起：remember/recall/think of ③ 帮助：help/assist 情绪类 ① 面带微笑：wearing a smile/with a smile on one’s face ② 感激：gratitude/thankfulness 【点睛】【高分句型1】The note said that the waitress didn’t owe her anything because someone had once helped the old lady in a similar way.(运用了that引导的宾语从句及because引导的原因状语从句) 【高分句型2】Tears streamed down her cheeks when she read what the lady wrote.(运用了when引导的时间状语从句及what引导的宾语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
