Sometimes two couples go out together. This is called a double date. It’s double because there are two couples. When you make a date with someone and then you can’t go, we say you break a date. Breaking a date means you cancel the date. And finally, who pays on a date? Well, sometimes the man does, sometimes the woman pays. But often each person pays for their own food and entertainment. That’s called going Dutch. Why is it called going Dutch? Hmm, good question. I have no idea! Please let me know when you find out. 第二部分 阅读理解(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, 从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中, 选出最佳选项。 A Accommodation at University College Cork, Ireland On-campus accommodation UCC Campus accommodation is more than just a place to eat and sleep — it provides social, cultural and sporting shops and the chance to develop friendships that will last a lifetime. Our accommodation services are divided into our two areas of operation, one being the safe, modern accommodation for those studying during the academic year. The other one is the excellent summer accommodation for holiday or summer course visitors who are seeking what is a very special environment to stay in with every modern convenience but dipped in history and the atmosphere of one of Europe’s oldest and most highly regarded universities. Rental Housing This is where the student lives with a family and 1~5 other students and you get your breakfast, evening meal and light supper. Rates are available for both single and shared rooms, five days or seven-day board. Prices are set and no landlady can charge over this agreed rate. This is a very economical and safe accommodation option and particularly well suited to freshmen. Lists of landladies are available free from the Accommodation Office by post, fax and email. Shared Student Housing Available rooms are advertised in the Accommodation Office throughout the year. Updated lists of them are provided daily. Lifetime friendship is easily developed here. Living with a Landlord Usually this provides more mature students with a high standard of accommodation at reasonable rents, usually a little below the market price. Vacancies are advertised in the Accommodation Office throughout the year. 21. What is special about the environment of on-campus accommodation? A. It benefits freshmen a lot during holidays. B. It is the most highly regarded accommodation in Europe. C. It helps develop a lifelong friendship between roommates. D. It is a perfect mix of modern equipment and historical surroundings. 22 Which is recommended to first-year students at their university? A. On-campus accommodation. B. Living with a Landlord. C. Shared Student Housing. D. Rental Housing. 23. What do we know about the Accommodation Office? A. It doesn’t deal with rents for students. B. It serves students and gets paid for what it does. C. It provides information on the accommodation choices. D. It is seen as a bridge between the university and students. 【答案】21. D 22. D 23. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了供大学生选择的一些住宿信息。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据On-campus accommodation部分的“Our accommodation services are divided into our two areas of operation, one being the safe, modern accommodation for those studying during the academic year. The other one is the excellent summer accommodation for holiday or summer course visitors who are seeking what is a very special environment to stay in with every modern convenience but dipped in history and the atmosphere of one of Europe’s oldest and most highly regarded universities.(我们的住宿服务分为两个方面，一个是为学年学习的学生提供安全、现代化的住宿。另一个是极好的夏季住宿，适合度假或暑期课程的游客，他们正在寻找一个非常特殊的环境，既能享受现代化的便利，又能沉浸在欧洲最古老、最受尊敬的大学之一的历史和氛围中。)可推断出，校内住宿的环境的特殊之处在于它是现代化设备和历史环境的完美混合，故选D。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Rental Housing部分的“This is a very economical and safe accommodation option and particularly well suited to freshmen.(这是一个非常经济和安全的住宿选择，特别适合新生。)”可知对于大一新生来说，特别推荐Rental Housing，故选D。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据Shared Student Housing部分的“Available rooms are advertised in the Accommodation Office throughout the year.(住宿办公室全年都会发布空房广告。)”可知Accommodation Office提供住宿选择的信息，故选C。 B On a spring day, Guinness World Records held a ceremony in Bournemouth to award local lifeguard Chris Lewis the title. Lewis, 74, began working at the Dorset resort when he was 16. “It’s the best job in the world,” he said. “You’re working and helping people. What could be better?” His colleagues were just half his age. But he is still fighting fit. Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) lifeguards must complete a 400m pool swim in under 7.5 minutes. They have to do a 25m pool swim underwater and a 25-metre surface swim consecutively in under 50 seconds and run 200m along the beach in under 40 seconds. The tests are still reasonably comfortable for Lewis. All winter he has been doing 3,000 metres of sea swimming each month. Lewis’s adventure began in 1965 when a police officer spotted that he was a keen swimmer and suggested he get his lifesaving badges. The following year he began volunteering as a lifeguard at the age of 16. Then he became part of the RNLI lifeguards in 2001 and began providing beach patrols for local authorities. Now the RNLI patrols more than 240 beaches across the UK. Lewis laughed when asked if he had seen many changes. “The RNLI’s equipment in 2024 includes jetskis, rescue boats and quad bikes. When I started, we had a T-shirt, swimming trunks, a swimming hat, a coat if you were lucky and a rescue tube. It was really very different.” His most memorable rescue took place in 2010 when three children got into trouble while swimming. There was a combination of wind and a lively spring tide. One of them was being hurled into a rock with severe cuts. The other two were being “knocked around” by the waves. Lewis swam out just with a rescue tube but managed to get all three back. Over the years, he has performed hundreds of rescues. He says giving advice that prevents people getting into trouble is preferable to carrying out rescues. “I would love to go through the whole of summer without having to rescue anybody.” 24. Why is the training of RNLI mentioned? A. To explain the importance of swimming skills. B. To stress Lewis’s efforts and capacity. C. To show demands of being a safeguard. D. To describe the test process of fitness swimming 25. What made Lewis begin his life-saving career? A. His voluntary experience. B. His passion for swimming. C. An invitation from RNLI. D. A police officer’s suggestion. 26. What can be inferred from Lewis’s words in Paragraph 4? A. RNLI cares for the safety of lifeguards. B. RNLI currently needs more lifeguards. C. Lifeguard work was not easy in the past. D. The former lifeguards were more skilled. 27. Which of the following best describes Lewis? A. Devoted and caring. B. Selfless and honest. C. Determined and humorous. D. Generous and ambitious. 【答案】24. B 25. D 26. C 27. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了74岁的救生员Chris Lewis因其长期的救生工作和出色的表现，被吉尼斯世界纪录授予称号，并介绍了他的救生生涯、训练以及他对救生工作的看法。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) lifeguards must complete a 400m pool swim in under 7.5 minutes. They have to do a 25m pool swim underwater and a 25-metre surface swim consecutively in under 50 seconds and run 200m along the beach in under 40 seconds. The tests are still reasonably comfortable for Lewis. (皇家国家救生艇协会（RNLI）的救生员必须在7.5分钟内游完400米泳池。他们必须在50秒内完成25米的水下游泳和25米的水面游泳，并在40秒内沿着海滩跑200米。这些测试对Lewis来说还算轻松。)”和“All winter he has been doing 3,000 metres of sea swimming each month. (整个冬天，他每个月都要进行3000米的海游。)”可知，此处提到RNLI的训练是为了强调Lewis的努力和能力，尽管他已经74岁，但仍然能够轻松完成这些训练。故选B项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Lewis’s adventure began in 1965 when a police officer spotted that he was a keen swimmer and suggested he get his lifesaving badges. (Lewis的冒险始于1965年，当时一名警察发现他是一名游泳爱好者，并建议他获得救生徽章。)”可知，是一名警察的建议让Lewis开始了他的救生生涯。故选D项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中Lewis的话“The RNLI’s equipment in 2024 includes jetskis, rescue boats and quad bikes. When I started, we had a T-shirt, swimming trunks, a swimming hat, a coat if you were lucky and a rescue tube. It was really very different. (2024年，RNLI的装备包括水上摩托、救生艇和四轮摩托车。当我开始的时候，我们只有一件T恤、游泳裤、游泳帽，如果你幸运的话还有一件外套和一个救生圈。这真的很不一样。)”可知，Lewis通过对比现在的装备和他开始时的装备，暗示了过去的救生工作并不容易，因为装备非常简陋。故选C项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中Lewis的话“It’s the best job in the world,” he said. “You’re working and helping people. What could be better? ( 他说：“这是世界上最好的工作。你在工作，同时在帮助别人。还有什么比这更好的呢？”)”以及最后一段中“Over the years, he has performed hundreds of rescues. He says giving advice that prevents people getting into trouble is preferable to carrying out rescues. (多年来，他进行了数百次救援。他说，给出防止人们陷入困境的建议比进行救援更好。)”可知，Lewis非常热爱他的救生工作，致力于帮助他人，并且非常关心他人的安全。因此，用“Devoted and caring (全心全意且关爱他人)”来形容他最恰当。故选A项。 C Lighthouse parenting is a modern approach that is becoming increasingly popular among parents. This style, raised by Dr. Ken Ginsburg, stresses a balance between guiding children and allowing them to make their own decisions. The name comes from the idea that parents should be like a lighthouse — available to offer support and guidance when needed, but not constantly intervening in their children’s life. Unlike helicopter parenting, which focuses on controlling and protecting the child from every possible mistake, lighthouse parenting not only provides love, guidance, and boundaries (边界), but also allows children to learn through their own experiences and mistakes. This approach helps children develop resilience (适应力) and problem-solving skills, making them better prepared for adulthood. One of the key principles of lighthouse parenting is maintaining open communication with children. Parents are encouraged to engage in conversations with their children, listen to their concerns, and provide advice when necessary. This creates a favorable environment, where children feel confident and loved, knowing their parents are always there for them, but not controlling their every move. The popularity of lighthouse parenting is growing because many parents are seeking a balanced approach to raising their children. There is an overwhelming amount of information available to parents today, and it can be difficult to know what to follow. Lighthouse parenting offers a practical solution, promoting a healthy, low-pressure environment for both parents and children. Children raised in this style can become healthy, functional adults, as they were given the tools to be independent, to understand the world, and to be well-adjusted. They aren’t scared of making mistakes and also take responsibility for them. Their parents are also less burnt out, as they are able to take a step back and be there for their children more in the background. With ongoing communication and love and support always there when needed, this parenting method seems to tick all the boxes when it comes to promoting a harmonious and enjoyable parent- child relationship. It is an environment where both children and parents can well develop and enjoy their relationship for years to come. 28. What do parents do in lighthouse parenting? A. They focus more on experiences than study. B. They intervene in their children’s life when necessary. C. They protect their children from every possible mistake. D. They set strict boundaries of amusements. 29. What makes lighthouse parenting increasingly popular? A. Parents’ desire for a balance in raising children. B. The limited access to parenting information. C. The stress faced with children. D. Parents’ expectation of raising a perfect child. 30. What can we know about children raised in lighthouse parenting? A. They will fit in easily. B. They will perform well academically. C. They show great curiosity about the outer world. D. They tend to be especially popular. 31. What would be a suitable title for the text? A. The Importance of Balanced Parenting B. The Disadvantages of Helicopter Parenting C. How to Raise Independent and Resilient Children D. The Benefits of Lighthouse Parenting 【答案】28. B 29. A 30. A 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。说明了灯塔式育儿是一种平衡引导与自主决策的现代育儿方法，旨在培养孩子的适应力和解决问题的能力。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Lighthouse parenting is a modern approach that is becoming increasingly popular among parents. This style, raised by Dr. Ken Ginsburg, stresses a balance between guiding children and allowing them to make their own decisions. The name comes from the idea that parents should be like a lighthouse — available to offer support and guidance when needed, but not constantly intervening in their children’s life.(灯塔式育儿法是一种现代育儿法，在父母中越来越受欢迎。这种风格由肯·金斯伯格博士提出，强调在引导孩子和让他们自己做决定之间取得平衡。这个名字来源于这样一种理念：父母应该像灯塔一样——在需要的时候提供支持和指导，但不要总是干预孩子的生活)”可知，灯塔式育儿的父母会在必要的时候干预他们子女的生活。故选B。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The popularity of lighthouse parenting is growing because many parents are seeking a balanced approach to raising their children.(灯塔式育儿法越来越受欢迎，因为许多父母都在寻求一种平衡的育儿方法)”可知，灯塔式育儿方式之所以越来越流行是因为父母想要在养育子女方面找到一个平衡。故选A。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Children raised in this style can become healthy, functional adults, as they were given the tools to be independent, to understand the world, and to be well-adjusted.(在这种方式下长大的孩子可以成为健康、正常的成年人，因为他们被赋予了独立、理解世界和适应能力的工具)”可知，在灯塔式育儿下成长的孩子能够学会独立、理解世界，并适应得很好。故选A。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Lighthouse parenting is a modern approach that is becoming increasingly popular among parents. This style, raised by Dr. Ken Ginsburg, stresses a balance between guiding children and allowing them to make their own decisions.

Human noise pervades the environment, from vehicles and industry in busy urban centers, to planes flying overhead, to ocean-going ships, which could be related to stranded (搁浅的) whales, as the noise that comes from ships could cause the animals to lose their sense of direction. Reviewing a series of studies, Hansjoerg Kunc and Rouven Schmidt said the issue should be seen as the “majority of species responding to noise, rather than a few species being particularly sensitive to noise.” “The interesting finding is that the species included range from little insects to large marine mammals such as whales,” Kunc said. “We did not expect to find a response to noise across all animals species.” The paper said that an animal’s response to human noise is not necessarily straightforward, and cannot be easily seen as positive or negative. Man-made noise, for example, has been shown to interfere with the sound detection systems that bats use to find food, making it more difficult for the flying mammals to catch insects. But that may be good news for the bugs: “Potential prey (猎物) may benefit directly from man-made noise,” the paper said. Kunc cautioned, however, that the big picture is still one of serious disruption across the natural environment. “In the bat example, the bats might suffer because they cannot locate their prey...but in species where potential prey animals rely on sound to detect killers, the prey animals might suffer because they might not be able to hear them early enough to escape.” Human sound pollution and the animal response to it must be seen in the context of an ecosystem. “Noise must be considered as a serious form of environmental change and pollution, as it affects all species,” they said. 32. What can we learn about human noise from the passage? A. Only a few species are sensitive to it. B. It is responsible for stranded whales. C. It can seriously damage the natural environment. D. It prevents flying mammals from catching their prey. 33. The underlined word in the second paragraph could be replaced by “____”. A. spreads over B. depends on C. loses interest in D. makes fun of 34. From the passage we know that ____. A. noise affects insects more than mammals B. man-made nose only a few specie C. prey benefits most from man-made noise D. both bats and prey could suffer from human noise 35. The goal of the author is to ____. A. explain why whales become stranded B. make us aware of the dangers of human noise C. emphasize the positive effects of human noise D. Call for the protection of the natural environment 【答案】32. C 33. A 34. D 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人类噪音对动物的影响，强调噪音应被视为一种严重的全球污染物。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Human noise pervades the environment, from vehicles and industry in busy urban centers, to planes flying overhead, to ocean-going ships, which could be related to stranded whales, as the noise that comes from ships could cause the animals to lose their sense of direction.(人类噪音充斥着环境，从繁忙城市中心的车辆和工业，到头顶飞过的飞机，再到远洋船只，这些都可能与搁浅的鲸鱼有关，因为船只发出的噪音可能会使这些动物失去方向感) ”和最后一段中“Kunc cautioned, however, that the big picture is still one of serious disruption across the natural environment. (然而，昆克警告说，更大的图景仍然是整个自然环境都受到了严重破坏) ”可推知，人类噪音会对自然环境造成严重破坏。故选C。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“Human noise pervades the environment, from vehicles and industry in busy urban centers, to planes flying overhead, to ocean-going ships, which could be related to stranded whales, as the noise that comes from ships could cause the animals to lose their sense of direction. (人类噪音pervades着环境，从繁忙城市中心的车辆和工业，到头顶飞过的飞机，再到远洋船只，这些都可能与搁浅的鲸鱼有关，因为船只发出的噪音可能会使这些动物失去方向感) ”可知，此处是指噪音充斥着这些环境，pervade意为“遍布、充斥”。A. spreads over遍布；B. depends on取决于； C. loses interest in对……失去兴趣；D. makes fun of取笑。故选A。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“Man-made noise, for example, has been shown to interfere with the sound detection systems that bats use to find food, making it more difficult for the flying mammals to catch insects. But that may be good news for the bugs: “Potential prey (猎物) may benefit directly from man-made noise,” the paper said. Kunc cautioned, however, that the big picture is still one of serious disruption across the natural environment. “In the bat example, the bats might suffer because they cannot locate their prey... but in species where potential prey animals rely on sound to detect killers, the prey animals might suffer because they might not be able to hear them early enough to escape.” (例如，研究表明，人造噪音会干扰蝙蝠用来寻找食物的声音检测系统，这使得这种飞行的哺乳动物更难捕捉昆虫。但这对虫子来说可能是个好消息：论文说：“潜在的猎物可能会直接从人造噪音中受益。”然而，昆克警告说，更大的图景仍然是整个自然环境都受到了严重破坏。以蝙蝠为例，蝙蝠可能会因为找不到猎物而受苦……但在潜在猎物动物依靠声音来探测捕食者的物种中，猎物动物可能会因为无法及早听到它们而逃脱而受苦)”可知，蝙蝠和猎物都可能受到人类噪音的影响。故选D。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，结合第一段中“It is well known that human noise can have a negative impact on some animals, but a new study says the noise we make should be treated as a “major global pollutant.” (众所周知，人类噪音会对一些动物产生负面影响，但一项新的研究表明，我们制造的噪音应该被视为一种“主要的全球污染物”)”可推知，文章主要介绍了人类噪音对动物和自然环境的影响，旨在让我们意识到人类噪音的危害。故选B。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分) 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。有两项为多余选项。 The world is a colorful landscape of different languages, skin colors, and different cultures.

Frankly, I hold the view that it makes good sense to study abroad. The reasons are as follows. To begin with, exposure to a foreign language setting while we are studying abroad makes learning process engaging and effective. Moreover, bathed in a different culture of a foreign country, we can gain great insights into the world because cross-cultural experiences can give us a global perspective. Studying abroad takes us out of our comfort zone and changes us for the better, which is the most important from my perspective. All things considered, I hope you can choose to study abroad and start a new life. Yours, Li Hua 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文。要求考生给Jackson写一封电子邮件，阐述关于留学的观点。 【详解】1.词汇积累 认为：hold the view that→think/believe 有帮助的：be of some help→be helpful 高兴的：delighted→glad 重要的：important→vital 2.句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：Moreover bathed in a different culture of a foreign country, we can gain great insights into the world because cross-cultural experiences can give us a global perspective. 拓展句：Moreover, if we can be bathed in a different culture of a foreign country, we can gain great insights into the world because cross-cultural experiences can give us a global perspective. 【点睛】[高分句型1] To begin with, exposure to a foreign language setting while we are studying abroad makes learning process engaging and effective.

That’s how I felt when I saw a WeChat acquaintance (熟人) inviting people to join her newly organized book club. Normally, I’d close the app — I’m not the sort of person who talks with strangers, even over a shared love of reading. However, in a burst of optimism, I sent her a message and agreed to show up. Fast-forward to the night of the book club, which found me parked outside a complete stranger’s house with a copy of Ernest Hemingway’s The Sun also Rises in hand. I didn’t want to get out of the car. My positive attitude had disappeared. Why had I agreed to hang out with people I had never met before? Blame it on science: I learned from experts that connecting with strangers and finding a community would make me happier. At least, I was sure it would once I got out of the car. The world is full of successful extroverts (性格外向者): presidents, queens, sports heroes and talk-show hosts like Oprah. Me? I’m an introvert who has tried to become the life of the party since my teenage years. Or, at least, pretend to be. Since my children are nearly grown and that I’m approaching the second half of my life with fewer friends than I wanted, I knew I had to make a change. Rather than giving in to my hermit (隐士) ways, I decided to set a goal: learn what it takes to become more extroverted. In other words, I had to do the thing I feared the most — I had to talk with strangers. Having a conversation with someone you don’t know doesn’t seem like it would improve your life, but those first awkward steps can result in relationships that feed your soul in surprising ways. 注意：1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Then I took a deep breath and stepped out of the car. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As the evening went on, I found myself engaged in lively discussions. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Then I took a deep breath and stepped out of the car. My heart raced with each step forward. As I approached the front door, I could hear laughter coming from inside. I hesitated for a moment, considering going back. But I reminded myself of my goal. With a mix of anxiety and excitement, I rang the doorbell. The moment I was welcomed in, the warmth of the room and the smiles of the other attendees made my fears fade away. I held my book tightly, but when introductions began, I slowly relaxed. As the evening went on, I found myself engaged in lively discussions. We exchanged thoughts on Hemingway’ s themes, laughed over shared experiences, and discovered common interests. I was surprised at how easily the conversations flowed. Each connection I made was like a small victory, helping me overcome my fear of interacting with new people. At the end of the night, I left not only with new friendships but also with new-found confidence. I realized that stepping out of my comfort zone was not just about overcoming fear; it was also about embracing the joy of connection that I had longed for. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者是一个内向的人，当看到微信上有人邀请自己加入读书俱乐部时，出于对阅读的共同爱好作者答应了，开车带着一本书去参加，作者想要作出改变，为自己设定了一个目标：学习怎样才能变得更外向。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“然后我深吸了一口气，下了车。”可知，第一段可描写作者的心理活动，由犹豫、焦虑到慢慢放松下来。 ②由第二段首句内容“随着晚上时间的推移，我发现自己参与了热烈的讨论。”可知，第二段可描写作者积极参与讨论以及收获。 2.续写线索：犹豫不前——按响门铃——放松下来——参与讨论——克服恐惧——收获 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①心跳加速：race/pound ②消失：fade away/disappear ③克服：overcome/get over 情绪类 ①兴奋：excitement/thrill ②惊讶的：surprised/astonished 【点睛】[高分句型1] As I approached the front door, I could hear laughter coming from inside.（由连词as引导的时间状语从句） [高分句型2] I was surprised at how easily the conversations flowed.（由连接副词how引导宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 南昌中学2024—2025学年度上学期期末考试 高二英语试卷 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 does the man mean?

Our accommodation services are divided into our two areas of operation, one being the safe, modern accommodation for those studying during the academic year. The other one is the excellent summer accommodation for holiday or summer course visitors who are seeking what is a very special environment to stay in with every modern convenience but dipped in history and the atmosphere of one of Europe’s oldest and most highly regarded universities. Rental Housing This is where the student lives with a family and 1~5 other students and you get your breakfast, evening meal and light supper. Rates are available for both single and shared rooms, five days or seven-day board. Prices are set and no landlady can charge over this agreed rate. This is a very economical and safe accommodation option and particularly well suited to freshmen. Lists of landladies are available free from the Accommodation Office by post, fax and email. Shared Student Housing Available rooms are advertised in the Accommodation Office throughout the year. Updated lists of them are provided daily. Lifetime friendship is easily developed here. Living with a Landlord Usually this provides more mature students with a high standard of accommodation at reasonable rents, usually a little below the market price. Vacancies are advertised in the Accommodation Office throughout the year. 21. What is special about the environment of on-campus accommodation? A. It benefits freshmen a lot during holidays. B. It is the most highly regarded accommodation in Europe. C. It helps develop a lifelong friendship between roommates. D. It is a perfect mix of modern equipment and historical surroundings. 22. Which is recommended to first-year students at their university? A. On-campus accommodation. B. Living with a Landlord. C. Shared Student Housing. D. Rental Housing. 23. What do we know about the Accommodation Office? A. It doesn’t deal with rents for students. B. It serves students and gets paid for what it does. C. It provides information on the accommodation choices. D. It is seen as a bridge between the university and students. B On a spring day, Guinness World Records held a ceremony in Bournemouth to award local lifeguard Chris Lewis the title. Lewis, 74, began working at the Dorset resort when he was 16. “It’s the best job in the world,” he said. “You’re working and helping people. What could be better?” His colleagues were just half his age. But he is still fighting fit. Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) lifeguards must complete a 400m pool swim in under 7.5 minutes. They have to do a 25m pool swim underwater and a 25-metre surface swim consecutively in under 50 seconds and run 200m along the beach in under 40 seconds. The tests are still reasonably comfortable for Lewis. All winter he has been doing 3,000 metres of sea swimming each month. Lewis’s adventure began in 1965 when a police officer spotted that he was a keen swimmer and suggested he get his lifesaving badges. The following year he began volunteering as a lifeguard at the age of 16. Then he became part of the RNLI lifeguards in 2001 and began providing beach patrols for local authorities. Now the RNLI patrols more than 240 beaches across the UK. Lewis laughed when asked if he had seen many changes. “The RNLI’s equipment in 2024 includes jetskis, rescue boats and quad bikes. When I started, we had a T-shirt, swimming trunks, a swimming hat, a coat if you were lucky and a rescue tube. It was really very different.” His most memorable rescue took place in 2010 when three children got into trouble while swimming. There was a combination of wind and a lively spring tide. One of them was being hurled into a rock with severe cuts. The other two were being “knocked around” by the waves. Lewis swam out just with a rescue tube but managed to get all three back. Over the years, he has performed hundreds of rescues. He says giving advice that prevents people getting into trouble is preferable to carrying out rescues. “I would love to go through the whole of summer without having to rescue anybody.” 24. Why is the training of RNLI mentioned? A. To explain the importance of swimming skills. B. To stress Lewis’s efforts and capacity. C. To show demands of being a safeguard. D. To describe the test process of fitness swimming 25. What made Lewis begin his life-saving career? A. His voluntary experience. B. His passion for swimming. C. An invitation from RNLI. D. A police officer’s suggestion. 26. What can be inferred from Lewis’s words in Paragraph 4? A. RNLI cares for the safety of lifeguards. B. RNLI currently needs more lifeguards. C. Lifeguard work was not easy in the past. D. The former lifeguards were more skilled. 27. Which of the following best describes Lewis? A. Devoted and caring. B. Selfless and honest. C. Determined and humorous. D. Generous and ambitious. C Lighthouse parenting is a modern approach that is becoming increasingly popular among parents. This style, raised by Dr. Ken Ginsburg, stresses a balance between guiding children and allowing them to make their own decisions. The name comes from the idea that parents should be like a lighthouse — available to offer support and guidance when needed, but not constantly intervening in their children’s life. Unlike helicopter parenting, which focuses on controlling and protecting the child from every possible mistake, lighthouse parenting not only provides love, guidance, and boundaries (边界), but also allows children to learn through their own experiences and mistakes. This approach helps children develop resilience (适应力) and problem-solving skills, making them better prepared for adulthood. One of the key principles of lighthouse parenting is maintaining open communication with children. Parents are encouraged to engage in conversations with their children, listen to their concerns, and provide advice when necessary. This creates a favorable environment, where children feel confident and loved, knowing their parents are always there for them, but not controlling their every move. The popularity of lighthouse parenting is growing because many parents are seeking a balanced approach to raising their children. There is an overwhelming amount of information available to parents today, and it can be difficult to know what to follow. Lighthouse parenting offers a practical solution, promoting a healthy, low-pressure environment for both parents and children. Children raised in this style can become healthy, functional adults, as they were given the tools to be independent, to understand the world, and to be well-adjusted. They aren’t scared of making mistakes and also take responsibility for them. Their parents are also less burnt out, as they are able to take a step back and be there for their children more in the background. With ongoing communication and love and support always there when needed, this parenting method seems to tick all the boxes when it comes to promoting a harmonious and enjoyable parent- child relationship. It is an environment where both children and parents can well develop and enjoy their relationship for years to come. 28. What do parents do in lighthouse parenting? A. They focus more on experiences than study. B. They intervene in their children’s life when necessary. C. They protect their children from every possible mistake. D. They set strict boundaries of amusements. 29. What makes lighthouse parenting increasingly popular? A. Parents’ desire for a balance in raising children. B. The limited access to parenting information. C. The stress faced with children. D. Parents’ expectation of raising a perfect child. 30. What can we know about children raised in lighthouse parenting? A. They will fit in easily. B. They will perform well academically. C. They show great curiosity about the outer world. D. They tend to be especially popular. 31. What would be a suitable title for the text? A. The Importance of Balanced Parenting B. The Disadvantages of Helicopter Parenting C. How to Raise Independent and Resilient Children D. The Benefits of Lighthouse Parenting D It is well known that human noise can have a negative impact on some animals, but a new study says the noise we make should be treated as a “major global pollutant.” “We found that noise affects many species,” scientists at Queen’s University Belfast said in the Royal Society’s Biology Letters. Human noise pervades the environment, from vehicles and industry in busy urban centers, to planes flying overhead, to ocean-going ships, which could be related to stranded (搁浅的) whales, as the noise that comes from ships could cause the animals to lose their sense of direction. Reviewing a series of studies, Hansjoerg Kunc and Rouven Schmidt said the issue should be seen as the “majority of species responding to noise, rather than a few species being particularly sensitive to noise.” “The interesting finding is that the species included range from little insects to large marine mammals such as whales,” Kunc said. “We did not expect to find a response to noise across all animals species.” The paper said that an animal’s response to human noise is not necessarily straightforward, and cannot be easily seen as positive or negative. Man-made noise, for example, has been shown to interfere with the sound detection systems that bats use to find food, making it more difficult for the flying mammals to catch insects. But that may be good news for the bugs: “Potential prey (猎物) may benefit directly from man-made noise,” the paper said. Kunc cautioned, however, that the big picture is still one of serious disruption across the natural environment. “In the bat example, the bats might suffer because they cannot locate their prey...but in species where potential prey animals rely on sound to detect killers, the prey animals might suffer because they might not be able to hear them early enough to escape.” Human sound pollution and the animal response to it must be seen in the context of an ecosystem. “Noise must be considered as a serious form of environmental change and pollution, as it affects all species,” they said. 32. What can we learn about human noise from the passage? A. Only a few species are sensitive to it. B. It is responsible for stranded whales. C. It can seriously damage the natural environment. D. It prevents flying mammals from catching their prey. 33. The underlined word in the second paragraph could be replaced by “____”. A. spreads over B. depends on C. loses interest in D. makes fun of 34. From the passage we know that ____. A. noise affects insects more than mammals B. man-made nose only a few specie C. prey benefits most from man-made noise D. both bats and prey could suffer from human noise 35. The goal of the author is to ____. A explain why whales become stranded B. make us aware of the dangers of human noise C. emphasize the positive effects of human noise D.

That’s how I felt when I saw a WeChat acquaintance (熟人) inviting people to join her newly organized book club. Normally, I’d close the app — I’m not the sort of person who talks with strangers, even over a shared love of reading. However, in a burst of optimism, I sent her a message and agreed to show up. Fast-forward to the night of the book club, which found me parked outside a complete stranger’s house with a copy of Ernest Hemingway’s The Sun also Rises in hand. I didn’t want to get out of the car. My positive attitude had disappeared. Why had I agreed to hang out with people I had never met before? Blame it on science: I learned from experts that connecting with strangers and finding a community would make me happier. At least, I was sure it would once I got out of the car. The world is full of successful extroverts (性格外向者): presidents, queens, sports heroes and talk-show hosts like Oprah. Me? I’m an introvert who has tried to become the life of the party since my teenage years. Or, at least, pretend to be. Since my children are nearly grown and that I’m approaching the second half of my life with fewer friends than I wanted, I knew I had to make a change. Rather than giving in to my hermit (隐士) ways, I decided to set a goal: learn what it takes to become more extroverted. In other words, I had to do the thing I feared the most — I had to talk with strangers. Having a conversation with someone you don’t know doesn’t seem like it would improve your life, but those first awkward steps can result in relationships that feed your soul in surprising ways. 注意：1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Then I took a deep breath and stepped out of the car. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As the evening went on, I found myself engaged in lively discussions. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
