In the 1950s Luigi Lo Rosso, a pawnbroker on the Italian island of Capri, found the artwork in the basement of an abandoned villa. Convinced it was a treasure, he framed it cheaply and gave it to his wife. She was unimpressed and even washed the artwork alongside another dusty piece as if cleaning a carpet. For decades, the painting hung unnoticed in the family home and later in a restaurant, its true value unrecognized. Luigi’s son, Andrea, wasn’t born when the painting was found, but a revelation during his college years changed everything. He came across an image in an art history textbook that bore a striking similarity to the family painting. It featured Dora Maar and noted Picasso’s presence on Capri during that era. Returning home, Andrea began a mission to uncover the truth. Andrea’s persistence lasted decades. By treating the painting as potentially stolen, he registered it with Italy’s patrimony (遗产) police, ensuring in-depth examination. Locked in a Milan police storage room until 2019, the painting was eventually examined by Cinzia Altieri, who found Picasso’s signature in the corner to be true. Art expert Luca Gentile Canal Marcante also confirmed its genuineness, valuing it at $6 million, a figure that could double or triple if the Picasso Foundation in Paris officially recognizes it. Andrea remains cautious yet hopeful, “I’m happy, but let’s wait to toast,” he said. For now, he continues his father’s dream, aiming for the final seal of approval that could mark the painting’s incredible journey complete. 4. What did Luigi’s wife do to the painting? A. She tried to figure out its worth. B. She had it framed and displayed it. C. She cleaned the painting like a carpet. D. She sold it as she thought it had no value. 5. What made Andrea think that the painting might be drawn by Picasso? A. It showed the image of Dora Maar. B. Picasso was on Capri when it was painted. C. It looked like the image he saw in a textbook. D. It was well received when hung in a restaurant. 6. Why did Andrea register the painting with the police? A. To have a careful examination. B. To donate it to the government. C. To meet the police’s requirements. D. To hide it from other family members. 7. Which of the following words can best describe Andrea? A. Determined. B. Open-minded. C. Confident. D. Warm-hearted. 【答案】4. C 5. C 6. A 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了在地下室发现的一幅画，曾经被认为一文不值，现在被认为是毕加索的真迹，可能价值数百万美元。讲述了画作发现的前因后果。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“She was unimpressed and even washed the artwork alongside another dusty piece as if cleaning a carpet.(她不为所动，甚至像洗地毯一样，把这幅画和另一幅满是灰尘的画放在一起清理)”可知，路易吉的妻子把画擦得干干净净。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“He came across an image in an art history textbook that bore a striking similarity to the family painting.(他在美术史教科书上偶然发现了与这幅家画惊人相似的画面)”可知，因为这幅画看起来像他在教科书上看到的，所以安德里亚认为这幅画可能是毕加索画的。故选C。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“By treating the painting as potentially stolen, he registered it with Italy’s patrimony (遗产) police, ensuring in-depth examination.(他认为这幅画可能是被盗的，并向意大利文物警察局登记，以确保深入检查)”可知，安德里亚向警方登记这幅画是为了仔细检查。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Andrea’s persistence lasted decades.(安德里亚坚持了几十年)”以及“Locked in a Milan police storage room until 2019, the painting was eventually examined by Cinzia Altieri, who found Picasso’s signature in the corner to be true.(这幅画一直被锁在米兰警方的储藏室里，直到2019年才被Cinzia Altieri检查，她发现角落里毕加索的签名是真的)”可知，安德里很坚定。故选A。 C More people in the UK are choosing to spend their money on “ethical” shopping, according to the Fairtrade Foundation. Ethical shopping means buying things that do not harm people, animals or the environment when they are produced. The Fairtrade Foundation is an organization based in the UK that helps farmers and workers in poorer parts of the world to earn enough money to live comfortably. It does this by asking companies that grow products such as bananas or coffee to provide safe working conditions and pay their workers fair wages. The company can then sell its products with a Fairtrade mark so buyers know they are shopping ethically. Michael Gidney, from the Fairtrade Foundation, said it expects to have made more than £13 million from sales in the UK last year, an increase from £12.8 million in 2022. Last year was a challenging time for the UK economy. The effects of the Covid pandemic, and regional conflicts, pushed up the prices of food and energy, so people had less money to spend. However, the growth in ethical spending shows that many people care about how their spending affects others. “British shoppers do not trade down on their values when times are tough,” Gidney said. Millions of people in 70 countries benefit from the Fairtrade Foundation’s work, including projects supporting schools, healthcare and clean water. This year the foundation marks 30 years since the Fairtrade programme began. There are also organizations like Rainforest Alliance running ethical shopping plans. Gidney said the growth in ethical shopping proves to big companies that more people want to buy goods that treat workers, animals and the planet well. “We are winning the argument that trade can be sustainable and fair for people and planet,” he said. 8. What can we learn about the Fairtrade Foundation? A. It sells products with recognized labels. B. It urges companies to be worker-friendly. C. It encourages shoppers to buy more products. D. It sets wage standards for growers on poor land. 9. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. British shoppers aren’t affected by economic challenges. B. British shoppers buy more regardless of money shortage. C. British shoppers keep to ethical shopping despite tight finances. D. British shoppers care more about their spending in economic struggles. 10. Why did Gidney mention the growth in ethical shopping in paragraph 4? A. To settle the disagreement on trade. B. To prove the influence of Rainforest Alliance. C. To draw big firms’ attention to sustainable trade. D. To expect a greater demand for responsible products. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Shopping to Help Others B. Trading to Ensure Benefits C. Why Can Ethical Shopping Save Economy? D. How Does Fairtrade Foundation Help Global Economy? 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了道德购物的概念以及道德购物的积极影响。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The Fairtrade Foundation is an organization based in the UK that helps farmers and workers in poorer parts of the world to earn enough money to live comfortably. (公平贸易基金会是一个总部设在英国的组织，它帮助世界上较贫穷地区的农民和工人赚到足够的钱，让他们过上舒适的生活。)”可知，公平贸易基金会敦促公司对员工友好。故选B。 【9题详解】 句意猜测题。根据第三段“The effects of the Covid pandemic, and regional conflicts, pushed up the prices of food and energy, so people had less money to spend. However, the growth in ethical spending shows that many people care about how their spending affects others. (新冠疫情和地区冲突的影响推高了粮食和能源价格，因此人们的可支配资金减少。然而，道德消费的增长表明，许多人关心他们的消费如何影响他人。)”可知，新冠疫情和地区冲突的影响导致人们的可支配资金减少，however表示转折，道德消费的增长表明许多人关心他们的消费如何影响他人。说明了虽然经济困难，但是英国消费者仍坚持道德购物的现象。故划线句意思是“尽管经济拮据，英国消费者仍坚持道德购物”。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“There are also organizations like Rainforest Alliance running ethical shopping plans. Gidney said the growth in ethical shopping proves to big companies that more people want to buy goods that treat workers, animals and the planet well. “We are winning the argument that trade can be sustainable and fair for people and planet,” he said. (吉德尼说，道德购物的增长向大公司证明，越来越多的人想要购买对工人、动物和地球有益的商品。他说：“我们正在赢得这场辩论，即贸易对人类和地球来说是可持续和公平的。”)”可知，Gidney提到道德购物的增长是为了吸引大公司对可持续贸易的关注。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“More people in the UK are choosing to spend their money on “ethical” shopping, according to the Fairtrade Foundation. Ethical shopping means buying things that do not harm people, animals or the environment when they are produced. (据公平贸易基金会称，越来越多的英国人选择把钱花在“合乎道德”的购物上。道德购物是指购买在生产过程中不会伤害人类、动物或环境的东西。)”结合文章主要说明了道德购物的概念以及道德购物的积极影响。可知，A选“购物帮助他人”最符合文章标题。故选A。 D People thoughtlessly make other people into social media content. If you want to explain this problem, you only draw more attention to something that shouldn’t be happening in the first place. On a regular basis, a photo or a video will be posted on some social media in which a totally ordinary person doing a totally ordinary thing is removed from all context. And if you look at the numbers on the post, you’ll find that the post has been viewed by a million people. This is a predictable result of everybody having a camera with them at all times. Who hasn’t wished they had a camera to document the amazing “small person walking huge dog” moment they enjoyed? Curiosity happens, and surprise happens. But if you are purely using someone as a curiosity, why dont’t you say, “Can I take your picture?” Deep down you know the person might not want you to. Should we walk around with our head down, ignoring the world of amusing strangeness around us? Of course not. We’re far enough into the “practically everybody has a camera” age that we know how it goes, and how we just never know when our small post will become a big deal. To preserve privacy, you can put digital stickers over somebody’s face. You can also offer descriptions in different ways instead of showing photos. Bear in mind: Standing there with your phone out taking a picture of people who are innocently eating lunch might seem strange to some people, And one of them might also have a phone. 12. What is the predictable result of easy camera access? A. People become more interested in others. B. People are more likely to enjoy amusing events. C. Amazing situations can be recorded without worry. D. Posts of ordinary people can unexpectedly become hot. 13. Why might people not ask strangers for permission before taking photos? A. They want natural shots. B. They are afraid of being refused. C. They intend to surprise strangers. D. They’re unwilling to bother strangers. 14. What does the author suggest we do to protect privacy in online photos? A. Cover faces with digital stickers. B. Ask for permission before posting. C. Post photos with rich descriptions. D. Pay no attention to what happens around. 15. What attitude does the author probably hold to taking photos of people eating in public? A. Objective. B. Unconcerned. C. Favorable. D. Disapproval. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了人们会轻率地把别人变成社交媒体的内容这一现象。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“On a regular basis, a photo or a video will be posted on some social media in which a totally ordinary person doing a totally ordinary thing is removed from all context. And if you look at the numbers on the post, you’ll find that the post has been viewed by a million people.(在一些社交媒体上，经常会发布一张照片或一段视频，其中一个完全普通的人在做一件完全普通的事情。如果你看一下帖子上的数字，你会发现这篇帖子已经被100万人浏览了)”可知，摄像头容易进入的可预见结果是普通人的帖子会出人意料地火起来。故选D。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“But if you are purely using someone as a curiosity, why don’t you say, “Can I take your picture?” Deep down you know the person might not want you to.(但如果你纯粹是出于好奇而利用某人，你为什么不说：“我能给你拍张照吗？”在内心深处，你知道这个人可能不希望你这么做)”可知，人们在拍照前不征求陌生人的同意是因为害怕被拒绝。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“To preserve privacy, you can put digital stickers over somebody’s face.(为了保护隐私，你可以把数字贴纸贴在某人的脸上)”可知，作者建议我们用数码贴纸遮住脸保护网上照片的隐私。故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Bear in mind: Standing there with your phone out taking a picture of people who are innocently eating lunch might seem strange to some people, And one of them might also have a phone.(记住：站在那里拿着你的手机给那些无辜吃午饭的人拍照，对一些人来说可能会很奇怪，而且其中一个可能也有手机)”可知，作者对拍摄人们在公共场合吃饭的照片持反对态度。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。 Having a long-term strategy for your career can help you reduce career-related stress, and increase your potential employ ability. ____16____ Brainstorm.

Consider keeping track of your plan in PowerPoint. For example, slide 1 should outline the career goals you identified in your self-reflection.

Slide 3 should highlight the development activities you plan to pursue over the next five years to achieve your goals. And slide 4 should present possible obstacles and how to address them.

A 20. G 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了如何制定五年计划。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Having a long-term strategy for your career can help you reduce career-related stress, and increase your potential employ ability.(为你的职业制定一个长期战略可以帮助你减少与职业相关的压力，并提高你的潜在就业能力)”可知，本句为过渡句，承接上文职业目标，同时引起后文如何制定计划的问题。故F选项“但是你如何超越年度职业目标，制定一个五年计划呢？”符合语境，故选F。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Brainstorm. Start by thinking about how you want your career to develop and what you need to do to get there.(头脑风暴。首先考虑一下你希望自己的职业生涯如何发展，你需要做些什么来实现这一目标)”可知，上文提到需要先考虑职业生涯如何发展，需要做些什么来实现这一目标，即先要自我反省来思考。故C选项“这需要自我反省”符合语境，故选C。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Gather feedback.(收集反馈)”以及后文“That’s why it’s important to gather feedback from your supervisors, mentors, and peers. They may help you discover career opportunities you never considered, clue you into strengths you may overlook, and share insights regarding your areas for growth and development.(这就是为什么从你的主管、导师和同事那里收集反馈是很重要的。他们可能会帮助你发现你从未考虑过的职业机会，为你提供你可能忽视的优势，并分享你在成长和发展方面的见解)”可知，本段的建议是收集他人的反馈，推测本句承接上文，说明为什么需要收集反馈。故E选项“我们并不总是对自己的能力和优势做出最好的判断”符合语境，故选E。 【19题详解】 根据后文“It’s time to organize the information you’ve collected. Consider keeping track of your plan in PowerPoint. For example, slide 1 should outline the career goals you identified in your self-reflection. Slide 2 should list out the skills you already have and the ones you would need to achieve your career goals. Slide 3 should highlight the development activities you plan to pursue over the next five years to achieve your goals. And slide 4 should present possible obstacles and how to address them.(现在是整理你收集到的信息的时候了。考虑在PowerPoint中记录你的计划。例如，幻灯片1应该概述你在自我反思中确定的职业目标。第二张幻灯片应该列出你已经拥有的技能以及实现职业目标所需要的技能。幻灯片3应该突出你计划在未来五年内进行的发展活动来实现你的目标。幻灯片4应该展示可能存在的障碍以及如何解决这些障碍)”可知，后文主要说明了通过幻灯片来规划自己的职业目标，位于句首，结合上下文，应为简短的祈使句，故A选项“规划出来”符合语境，故选A。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Update your plan.(更新你的计划)”以及后文“One way to ensure you’re keeping your plan updated is to set a quarterly calendar reminder, which will help you address any new developments in your life or career and make changes where necessary.(确保你的计划不断更新的一种方法是每季度设置一个日历提醒，这将帮助你应对生活或职业中的任何新发展，并在必要的地方做出改变)”可知，本段的主旨是更新计划，本句承接上文说明需要更新计划的原因。故G选项“与一年的目标设定不同，制定五年计划的过程永远不会结束”符合语境，故选G。 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。 I’ve always loved animals, particularly lions and tigers, and I was desperate to see them in their natural habitat.

It’s harder to get their offer, but I have confidence in you,” my mom said to me, confused. “I’m afraid of being rejected (拒绝) by every university,” I murmured faintly. As a child, I was always cautious and alert, attempting to minimize every possibility of risk or danger. My early years were characterized by careful preparation and a never-ending search for safety. I can still clearly recall my first day of kindergarten when I tightly gripped my mother’s hand until my knuckles (指关节) turned white. It was impossible to face the overpowering fear of the unknown and entering a room full of strangers. But I overcame them, as I have overcome many fears, by learning to take baby steps toward my goals. There were new challenges in high school. My biggest fear was public speaking, but I realized that the only way to get over it was to tackle it head-on. There were painful moments in the beginning. My thoughts would race, and my voice would tremble. I encountered sharp objections and “heart-hurting” comments, but I became more assured and accomplished with every opportunity before the class. I discovered how to use my fear as motivation to write better drafts, encounter accidents, and improve my public speaking. Eventually, my English teacher chose me as the host of our school’s Foreign Language Reading Festival at the end of the semester. I distinguished myself by giving a persuasive speech on English reading abilities and won tremendous applause. 注意： 1.续写词数应为80左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Creating my school list was a difficult process filled with countless worries and fears, but I kept in mind the lessons I had learned over the years. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Creating my school list was a difficult process filled with countless worries and fears but I kept in mind the lessons I had learned over the years. I realized that taking risks was essential for growth. I decided to include a few reach schools, knowing that rejection was part of the journey. Instead of viewing these schools as insurmountable challenges, I began to see them as opportunities to push myself further. With this new mindset, I crafted my applications with passion and dedication. Each application became a reflection of my journey, filled with the lessons learned from overcoming my fears. As I submitted my final application, I felt a sense of accomplishment, knowing that I had embraced both my ambitions and the uncertainties ahead. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者创建大学名单的经历，最初因为有太多的安全学校，而被批评。在谨慎和厌恶风险的成长过程中，作者克服了从幼儿园到高中的恐惧，比如害怕陌生人和公开演讲。在高中，他在公开演讲中遇到了挑战，处理了痛苦的时刻，并最终成为学校外语阅读节的主持人。在制作学校名单时，他决定加入一些顶级学校，将它们视为增长机会，并以一种新的心态精心制作申请，在提交申请时感觉很有成就感，因为他既接受了雄心壮志，也接受了不确定性。 【详解】1.段落续写： 由该段首句内容“创建我的学校列表是一个艰难的过程，充满了无数的担忧和恐惧，但我记住了这些年来我学到的教训。”可知，该段可描写作者创建学校列表以及申请的经过。 2.续写线索：创建学校列表是一个艰难的过程——意识到冒险是成长的必要条件——列出几所顶尖学校——制作大学申请书——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①意识到：realiz/ be aware of ②决定做某事：decide to do/be determined to do ③拥抱：embrace/hug 情绪类 ①恐惧：fears/horror ②激情：passion/enthusiasm 【点睛】[高分句型1] I decided to include a few reach schools, knowing that rejection was part of the journey.(运用了现在分词作状语) [高分句型2] As I submitted my final application, I felt a sense of accomplishment, knowing that I had embraced both my ambitions and the uncertainties ahead.(运用了as引导的时间状语从句以及现在分词作状语) 1-5 BBACA 6-10 CBABC 11-15 BACBA 16-20 CACBC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024～2025学年度高二上期期末调研考试 英语 本试卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 注意事项： 1．答题前，务必将自己的姓名、考籍号填写在答题卡规定的位置上。 2．答选择题时，必须使用2B铅笔将答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑，如需改动，用橡皮擦擦干净后，再选涂其它答案标号。 3．答非选择题时，必须使用0.5毫米黑色笔迹的签字笔，将答案书写在答题卡规定的位置上。 4．所有题目必须在答题卡上作答，在试题卷上答题无效。 5．考试结束后，只将答题卡交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 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题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1．Which club will the woman most probably join this term?

B A painting discovered in a basement, once waved aside as worthless, is now recognized as a genuine Picasso, potentially worth millions. In the 1950s, Luigi Lo Rosso, a pawnbroker on the Italian island of Capri, found the artwork in the basement of an abandoned villa. Convinced it was a treasure, he framed it cheaply and gave it to his wife. She was unimpressed and even washed the artwork alongside another dusty piece as if cleaning a carpet. For decades, the painting hung unnoticed in the family home and later in a restaurant, its true value unrecognized. Luigi’s son, Andrea, wasn’t born when the painting was found, but a revelation during his college years changed everything. He came across an image in an art history textbook that bore a striking similarity to the family painting. It featured Dora Maar and noted Picasso’s presence on Capri during that era. Returning home, Andrea began a mission to uncover the truth. Andrea’s persistence lasted decades. By treating the painting as potentially stolen, he registered it with Italy’s patrimony (遗产) police, ensuring in-depth examination. Locked in a Milan police storage room until 2019, the painting was eventually examined by Cinzia Altieri, who found Picasso’s signature in the corner to be true. Art expert Luca Gentile Canal Marcante also confirmed its genuineness, valuing it at $6 million, a figure that could double or triple if the Picasso Foundation in Paris officially recognizes it. Andrea remains cautious yet hopeful, “I’m happy, but let’s wait to toast,” he said. For now, he continues his father’s dream, aiming for the final seal of approval that could mark the painting’s incredible journey complete. 4. What did Luigi’s wife do to the painting? A. She tried to figure out its worth. B. She had it framed and displayed it. C. She cleaned the painting like a carpet. D. She sold it as she thought it had no value. 5. What made Andrea think that the painting might be drawn by Picasso? A. It showed the image of Dora Maar. B. Picasso was on Capri when it was painted. C. It looked like the image he saw in a textbook. D. It was well received when hung in a restaurant. 6. Why did Andrea register the painting with the police? A To have a careful examination. B. To donate it to the government. C. To meet the police’s requirements. D. To hide it from other family members. 7. Which of the following words can best describe Andrea? A. Determined. B. Open-minded. C. Confident. D. Warm-hearted. C More people in the UK are choosing to spend their money on “ethical” shopping, according to the Fairtrade Foundation. Ethical shopping means buying things that do not harm people, animals or the environment when they are produced. The Fairtrade Foundation is an organization based in the UK that helps farmers and workers in poorer parts of the world to earn enough money to live comfortably. It does this by asking companies that grow products such as bananas or coffee to provide safe working conditions and pay their workers fair wages. The company can then sell its products with a Fairtrade mark so buyers know they are shopping ethically. Michael Gidney, from the Fairtrade Foundation, said it expects to have made more than £13 million from sales in the UK last year, an increase from £12.8 million in 2022. Last year was a challenging time for the UK economy. The effects of the Covid pandemic, and regional conflicts, pushed up the prices of food and energy, so people had less money to spend. However, the growth in ethical spending shows that many people care about how their spending affects others. “British shoppers do not trade down on their values when times are tough,” Gidney said. Millions of people in 70 countries benefit from the Fairtrade Foundation’s work, including projects supporting schools, healthcare and clean water. This year the foundation marks 30 years since the Fairtrade programme began. There are also organizations like Rainforest Alliance running ethical shopping plans. Gidney said the growth in ethical shopping proves to big companies that more people want to buy goods that treat workers, animals and the planet well. “We are winning the argument that trade can be sustainable and fair for people and planet,” he said. 8. What can we learn about the Fairtrade Foundation? A. It sells products with recognized labels. B. It urges companies to be worker-friendly. C. It encourages shoppers to buy more products. D. It sets wage standards for growers on poor land. 9. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. British shoppers aren’t affected by economic challenges. B. British shoppers buy more regardless of money shortage. C. British shoppers keep to ethical shopping despite tight finances. D. British shoppers care more about their spending in economic struggles. 10. Why did Gidney mention the growth in ethical shopping in paragraph 4? A. To settle the disagreement on trade. B. To prove the influence of Rainforest Alliance. C. To draw big firms’ attention to sustainable trade. D. To expect a greater demand for responsible products. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Shopping to Help Others B. Trading to Ensure Benefits C. Why Can Ethical Shopping Save Economy? D. How Does Fairtrade Foundation Help Global Economy? D People thoughtlessly make other people into social media content. If you want to explain this problem, you only draw more attention to something that shouldn’t be happening in the first place. On a regular basis, a photo or a video will be posted on some social media in which a totally ordinary person doing a totally ordinary thing is removed from all context. And if you look at the numbers on the post, you’ll find that the post has been viewed by a million people. This is a predictable result of everybody having a camera with them at all times. Who hasn’t wished they had a camera to document the amazing “small person walking huge dog” moment they enjoyed? Curiosity happens, and surprise happens. But if you are purely using someone as a curiosity, why dont’t you say, “Can I take your picture?” Deep down you know the person might not want you to. Should we walk around with our head down, ignoring the world of amusing strangeness around us? Of course not. We’re far enough into the “practically everybody has a camera” age that we know how it goes, and how we just never know when our small post will become a big deal. To preserve privacy, you can put digital stickers over somebody’s face. You can also offer descriptions in different ways instead of showing photos. Bear in mind: Standing there with your phone out taking a picture of people who are innocently eating lunch might seem strange to some people, And one of them might also have a phone. 12. What is the predictable result of easy camera access? A. People become more interested in others. B. People are more likely to enjoy amusing events. C. Amazing situations can be recorded without worry. D. Posts of ordinary people can unexpectedly become hot. 13. Why might people not ask strangers for permission before taking photos? A. They want natural shots. B. They are afraid of being refused. C. They intend to surprise strangers. D. They’re unwilling to bother strangers. 14. What does the author suggest we do to protect privacy in online photos? A. Cover faces with digital stickers. B. Ask for permission before posting. C. Post photos with rich descriptions. D. Pay no attention to what happens around. 15 What attitude does the author probably hold to taking photos of people eating in public? A. Objective. B. Unconcerned. C. Favorable. D. Disapproval. 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。 Having a long-term strategy for your career can help you reduce career-related stress, and increase your potential employ ability. ____16____ Brainstorm.

It’s harder to get their offer, but I have confidence in you,” my mom said to me, confused. “I’m afraid of being rejected (拒绝) by every university,” I murmured faintly. As a child, I was always cautious and alert, attempting to minimize every possibility of risk or danger. My early years were characterized by careful preparation and a never-ending search for safety. I can still clearly recall my first day of kindergarten when I tightly gripped my mother’s hand until my knuckles (指关节) turned white. It was impossible to face the overpowering fear of the unknown and entering a room full of strangers. But I overcame them, as I have overcome many fears, by learning to take baby steps toward my goals. There were new challenges in high school. My biggest fear was public speaking, but I realized that the only way to get over it was to tackle it head-on. There were painful moments in the beginning. My thoughts would race, and my voice would tremble. I encountered sharp objections and “heart-hurting” comments, but I became more assured and accomplished with every opportunity before the class. I discovered how to use my fear as motivation to write better drafts, encounter accidents, and improve my public speaking. Eventually, my English teacher chose me as the host of our school’s Foreign Language Reading Festival at the end of the semester. I distinguished myself by giving a persuasive speech on English reading abilities and won tremendous applause. 注意： 1.续写词数应为80左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Creating my school list was a difficult process filled with countless worries and fears, but I kept in mind the lessons I had learned over the years. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1-5 BBACA 6-10 CBABC 11-15 BACBA 16-20 CACBC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
