B An adventure-loving pet cat called Rayne Beau returned home to his owners in California after getting lost in Yellowstone National Park two months ago. His owners, Penny and Susanne Anguiano, took Rayne Beau to Yellowstone in June for the cat’s first trip to the forest. However, the holiday ended badly after Rayne Beau was shocked and ran into nearby trees. Though the Anguianos searched for four days, they were unable to find their lost pet, finally returning home to Salinas with heavy hearts. Despite heading home, Ms. Anguiano said she never lost hope she would find him and took a double rainbow she saw on the drive home as “a sign” that he would be OK. In August, the Anguianos received a surprise phone call from Rayne Beau’s microchip company to tell them their pet was safe and well at the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) in Roseville, California. The animal shelter was nearly 1,448 km from Yellowstone, and just 322 km away from their home. A woman who first saw Rayne Beau wandering the streets of the northern California city fed him until she managed to catch him on 3 August, taking him to the local SPCA. When Susanne picked him up the following day, she said: “I believe truly that he made that journey mostly on his own. His paws were really beat up, and he lost 40% of his body weight because of inadequate nutrition. He was not cared for.” It remains a mystery how Rayne Beau got to Roseville, and his owners are hoping the public may be able to fill in the blanks. Rayne Beau has now been fitted with a GPS global tracker in case of further misadventure. His owners say they will practise “camping in their driveway to get him used to it,” before hitting the road again. 24. How did Rayne Beau’s owners feel when heading home? A. Positive. B. Desperate. C. Settled. D. Touched. 25. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. Rayne Beau’s way back on its own. B. The sighting of Rayne Beau at SPCA. C. The unexpected discovery of Rayne Beau. D. The finding of Rayne Beau in Yellowstone. 26. What does the underlined words “fill in the blanks” mean in paragraph 4? A. Give information. B. Conduct a survey. C. Shoulder responsibility. D. Launch a tracking device to it. 27. What is done to prevent Rayne Beau from missing again? A. Building up its courage. B. Fixing a tracking device to it. C. Familiarizing it with camping. D. Removing its painful memories. C It was a truth known to Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell back in 1968, but now scientists have caught up with them: there really are not nothing like the real thing. A study in the Netherlands has revealed that real works of art in a museum stimulate the brain in a way that is 10 times stronger than looking at a poster. The independent study used eye-tracking technology and MRI scans to record the brain activity of volunteers looking at genuine artworks and their reproductions. Scientists found the volunteers had a response that was 10 times stronger when looking at the former. The volunteers, aged between 21 and 65, were attached to a brain scanner and eye-tracking equipment and asked to look at five paintings in the museum, plus posters of them in the museum shop. “If you want to know what people think, it is better to measure it than to ask them,” the lead researcher of the study said. “The results were extraordinary.” The real artworks aroused a strong positive response in the precuneus, part of the brain involved with consciousness, self-reflection and personal memories, researchers said. Gerrit van Honthorst’s The Violin Player gave a positive stimulus of 0.41 out of 1 in real life, for instance, but just 0.05 in poster form. The research also analysed Girl with a Pearl Earring. The popular work attracted most overall attention and drew the eye in what researchers described as a “sustained attention loop” — a triangle between the girl’s highlighted eye, mouth and pearl earring. Erik Scherder, a professor in neuropsychology (神经心理学) invited to comment on the results, said the study underlined the importance of culture. “It shows what it does for your brain when you see a real artwork,” he said. “This is a rich environment that really makes a difference, particularly for children in the growth period.” 28. What did volunteers do during the study? A. Making creations. B. Observing paintings. C. Operating devices. D. Identifying originals. 29. Why do real artworks lead to a stronger stimulation? A. They are rich in details. B. They reflect cultural significance. C. They possess higher market value. D. They engage more deeply with the brain. 30. What can we infer from Erik Scherder’s words in the last paragraph? A. Children should be exposed to cultural differences. B. Artworks and posters form a diverse cultural setting. C. The value of artworks cannot be ignored in education. D. Posters are equally effective in helping brain development. 31. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Reproductions Harm Innovations. B. Genuine Artworks Heal Mental Diseases. C. New Technology Assists Brain Activity Analysis. D. Real Art Stimulates Brain Much More than Reprints. D It is a classic problem for job seekers and anyone: If you brag (吹嘘) about your accomplishments, you seem more competent—but less likable. The solution? Add a bit of playfulness when discussing your talents. A team of researchers have found that “humorbragging”—referring to your accomplishments through a veil of humor—allows people to play up their skills without being described as vain. And that makes them more likely to get hired or get their opinions accepted. “The self-enhancing humor helps them be seen as confident without sacrificing likability” says Jieun Pai, an assistant professor at Imperial College London who led the research. The researchers used a series of studies to test the impact of what they called humorbragging. In one instance, they sent out two resumes to 345 companies—but one resume added a dash of self-promotional humor instead of being purely serious: “The more coffee you can provide, the more output I will produce.” The resume with the joke got an email or a callback by 156 companies, versus 125 for the other. In another case, the researchers found that study participants were more likely to hire chefs who are humorous when selling themselves. One chef described making a soccer-themed cake for a boy’s fifth-birthday party and mentioned that he got the biggest tip he had ever seen. A baker who was the hiring favorite told the same story, but ended up by saying, “I am just glad that I only had to make the soccer ball, not actually kick one.” “People need to be cautious, though, when using humor to sell themselves,” Pai says. Self-deprecating (自嘲式的) humor without any bragging at all, or humor intended to belittle others in any form, doesn’t have the same positive impact that humorous bragging does, according to the research. “We sometimes use self-deprecating humor, but that may lead to the opposite result that was intended,” she says. “It doesn’t help you be seen as more competent.” 32. What do we know about humorbragging? A. It lowers likability. B. It is favored by employers. C. It is a must for job seekers. D. It makes one appear overconfident. 33. Which aspect of humorbragging does the research team focus on? A. Various forms. B. Psychological causes. C. Beneficial effects. D. Practical applications. 34. What can we say about the two chefs from paragraph 4? A They expect the same salary. B. They differ in working experience. C. They specialize in different types of cakes. D. They adopt distinct ways of self-introduction. 35. Which example agrees with Pai’s advice on humorbragging? A. I’m a challenge addict—bring on the tough stuff! B. I’m an office clown, who always makes everyone laugh. C. I’m the master of the “almost got it”—close enough is good enough. D. I may not be the smartest person, but I’m surely smarter than the next guy! 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 When it comes to being fit and healthy, most of us know by now that 10,000 steps is recommended everywhere as a target to achieve. ___36___ The 10,000 steps a day target seems to have come about from a trade name pedometer (计步器) sold in 1965 by Yamasa Clock in Japan. The device was called “Manpo-kei”, which translates to “10,000 steps meter”. This was a marketing tool for the device and has seemed to have stuck across the world as the daily step target. ___37___ But while some research has shown health benefits at 10,000 steps, recent research from Harvard Medical School has shown that, on average, approximately 4,400 steps a day is enough to significantly lower the risk of death in women. This was when compared to only walking around 2,700 steps daily. The more steps people walked, the lower their risk of dying was, before leveling off at around 7,500 steps a day. ___38___ Although it’s uncertain whether similar results would be seen in men, it’s one example of how moving a little bit more daily can improve health and lower risk of death. ___39___ One easy way to do that is to increase your current step count by about 2,000 steps a day. Other easy ways to move more daily include walking to work if possible, or taking part of an online exercise program if you’re working from home. ___40___ And given that even small amounts of physical activity positively impact your health, taking regular breaks to move around if you’re working at a desk all day will help to easily get more physical activity. A. No additional benefits were seen with more steps. B. Is walking 10,000 steps every day really necessary? C. But do you know where this number actually came from? D. There are several ways to increase steps or simply move more. E. It’s even included in daily activity targets by popular smart watches. F. The ways to improve our health lie in many aspects such as exercising more. G. Meeting with friends for a walk rather than in a cafe or pub can also be useful. 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。 In 2013, Kahn-Scolaro’s sister, Susan Kahn, was diagnosed with pancreatic (胰腺的) cancer.

This year, our group’s experience was particularly unforgettable, not just for the final outcome, but for the voyage we set out on hand in hand. As the final week approached, panic set in. We had taken on a challenging project of building a complex robot model which we thought would be a surprise to the judges, but it seemed like everything was going wrong. Time was not on our side, we still had a lot to do, and mistakes were made along the way. The instructions were so confusing that we couldn’t make sense of them. To make matters worse, some of the essential parts appeared to be missing. It seemed as if the universe itself were plotting against us. The weight of looming failure pressed heavily on our shoulders. We were cross to complain or blame each other. Feeling defeated and frustrated (沮丧), four of us were on the edge of giving up. Just when all hope seemed lost, the group leader, Mary came to our rescue. She patiently sat down with us. “Hey, guys, cheer up! Time is limited, it’s impossible!” Lily murmured. “But I really thought we couldn’t do this. It’s impossible!” Lily murmured. “Don’t give up. Remember what Winston Churchill said, ‘Success is not final, failure is not fatal; it is the courage to continue that counts.’ We can do this.” “Yes. But great things never come easy,” Mary stood up, “We’ve come this far; we can’t quit now. We are a group, let’s work together and we can make it. Come on, my friends!” Her encouragements was like a ray of light in the darkness. The other five group members stood up one by one and said firmly, “You’re right. Let’s keep going.” “That’s the spirit! Together, we’ll overcome this challenge.” We put our hands together. 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。 With Mary’s leadership, we regained our confidence and started working together. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, the day of the science fair arrived. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024-2025学年高二年级上学期期末考试 英语试题 本试卷共150分，考试时间为120分钟。 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上，并在规定位置粘贴考试用条形码。答卷时，须将答案答在答题卡上，在本试题卷、草稿纸上答题无效。考试结束后，本试题卷由学生自己保留，只将答题卡交回。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

Areas in the Arctic are warming twice as fast as anywhere else on the planet. There are so many fires and they are so big that the smoke from them can be seen from space. Meteorologists report that the Arctic is having its hottest June ever and is suffering its worst wildfire season on record. There are huge blazes covering large areas of Greenland, Siberia, Scandinavia and Alaska. In Alaska, there are as many as 400 fires burning out of control. In Greenland, melting on the vast Greenland ice sheet has started a month earlier than usual. The World Meteorological Organization has said the Arctic fires are “unprecedented”. Scientists say the fires and suffocating smoke could have an effect on global warming. Meteorologist Mark Parrington explained what caused the wildfires. He said,” Temperatures in the Arctic have been increasing at a much faster rate than the global average, and warmer conditions encourage fires to grow and persist once they have been started.” Dry ground, more lightning strikes and strong winds have caused the fires to spread very quickly. A lot of ice has melted and the flames have set fire to methane — filled earth below the ice. This is releasing huge amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. The fires have also caused serious habitat loss and have killed uncountable numbers of animals. 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、和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A NYC Rental Cars Taking a trip to New York City?

His owners, Penny and Susanne Anguiano, took Rayne Beau to Yellowstone in June for the cat’s first trip to the forest. However, the holiday ended badly after Rayne Beau was shocked and ran into nearby trees. Though the Anguianos searched for four days, they were unable to find their lost pet, finally returning home to Salinas with heavy hearts. Despite heading home, Ms. Anguiano said she never lost hope she would find him and took a double rainbow she saw on the drive home as “a sign” that he would be OK. In August, the Anguianos received a surprise phone call from Rayne Beau’s microchip company to tell them their pet was safe and well at the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) in Roseville, California. The animal shelter was nearly 1,448 km from Yellowstone, and just 322 km away from their home. A woman who first saw Rayne Beau wandering the streets of the northern California city fed him until she managed to catch him on 3 August, taking him to the local SPCA. When Susanne picked him up the following day she said: “I believe truly that he made that journey mostly on his own. His paws were really beat up, and he lost 40% of his body weight because of inadequate nutrition. He was not cared for.” It remains a mystery how Rayne Beau got to Roseville, and his owners are hoping the public may be able to fill in the blanks. Rayne Beau has now been fitted with a GPS global tracker in case of further misadventure. His owners say they will practise “camping in their driveway to get him used to it,” before hitting the road again. 24. How did Rayne Beau’s owners feel when heading home? A. Positive. B. Desperate. C. Settled. D. Touched. 25. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. Rayne Beau’s way back on its own. B. The sighting of Rayne Beau at SPCA. C. The unexpected discovery of Rayne Beau. D. The finding of Rayne Beau in Yellowstone. 26. What does the underlined words “fill in the blanks” mean in paragraph 4? A. Give information. B. Conduct a survey. C. Shoulder responsibility. D. Launch a tracking device to it. 27. What is done to prevent Rayne Beau from missing again? A. Building up its courage. B. Fixing a tracking device to it. C. Familiarizing it with camping. D. Removing its painful memories. 【答案】24. A 25. C 26. A 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了宠物猫Rayne Beau如何在失踪两个月后又回到主人身边的。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Despite heading home, Ms. Anguiano said she never lost hope she would find him and took a double rainbow she saw on the drive home as “a sign” that he would be OK. (尽管要回家，但Anguiano说，她从未失去找到他的希望，她在开车回家的路上看到了一道双彩虹，认为这是他会没事的“信号”)”可知，Rayne Beau的主人回家时看到双彩虹，会认为他没事，由此可推知，Rayne Beau的主人感觉很乐观。故选A项。 【25题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“In August, the Anguianos received a surprise phone call from Rayne Beau’s microchip company to tell them their pet was safe and well at the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) in Roseville, California. The animal shelter was nearly 1,448 km from Yellowstone, and just 322 km away from their home. A woman who first saw Rayne Beau wandering the streets of the northern California city fed him until she managed to catch him on 3 August, taking him to the local SPCA.(今年8月，Anguiano一家意外地接到了来自Rayne Beau的微芯片公司打来的电话，告诉他们，他们的宠物在加州罗斯维尔的防止虐待动物协会（SPCA）安然无恙。动物收容所距离黄石公园近1448公里，距离它们的家只有322公里。一名妇女第一次看到Rayne Beau在加州北部城市的街道上游荡，她给它喂食，直到8月3日她设法抓住了它，并把它送到了当地的爱护动物协会)”可知，该段主要讲的是Rayne Beau是如何令人出乎意料地被找到的。故选C项。 【26题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线部分上文“It remains a mystery how Rayne Beau got to Roseville, and his owners are hoping the public (Rayne Beau是如何来到罗斯维尔的仍然是个谜，他的主人希望公众……)”可知，因为Rayne Beau是如何来到罗斯维尔的仍然是个谜，所以他的主人会希望人们能提供相关的信息。由此推测，划线短语fill in the blanks指的是提供信息。故选A项。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Rayne Beau has now been fitted with a GPS global tracker in case of further misadventure.(Rayne Beau现在已经安装了GPS全球追踪器，以防发生更多的不幸)”可知，为防止Rayne Beau再次失踪，给它装了个追踪装置。故选B项。 C It was a truth known to Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell back in 1968, but now scientists have caught up with them: there really are not nothing like the real thing. A study in the Netherlands has revealed that real works of art in a museum stimulate the brain in a way that is 10 times stronger than looking at a poster. The independent study used eye-tracking technology and MRI scans to record the brain activity of volunteers looking at genuine artworks and their reproductions. Scientists found the volunteers had a response that was 10 times stronger when looking at the former. The volunteers, aged between 21 and 65, were attached to a brain scanner and eye-tracking equipment and asked to look at five paintings in the museum, plus posters of them in the museum shop. “If you want to know what people think, it is better to measure it than to ask them,” the lead researcher of the study said. “The results were extraordinary.” The real artworks aroused a strong positive response in the precuneus, part of the brain involved with consciousness, self-reflection and personal memories, researchers said. Gerrit van Honthorst’s The Violin Player gave a positive stimulus of 0.41 out of 1 in real life, for instance, but just 0.05 in poster form. The research also analysed Girl with a Pearl Earring. The popular work attracted most overall attention and drew the eye in what researchers described as a “sustained attention loop” — a triangle between the girl’s highlighted eye, mouth and pearl earring. Erik Scherder, a professor in neuropsychology (神经心理学) invited to comment on the results, said the study underlined the importance of culture. “It shows what it does for your brain when you see a real artwork,” he said. “This is a rich environment that really makes a difference, particularly for children in the growth period.” 28. What did volunteers do during the study? A. Making creations. B. Observing paintings. C. Operating devices. D. Identifying originals. 29. Why do real artworks lead to a stronger stimulation? A. They are rich in details. B. They reflect cultural significance. C. They possess higher market value. D. They engage more deeply with the brain. 30. What can we infer from Erik Scherder’s words in the last paragraph? A. Children should be exposed to cultural differences. B. Artworks and posters form a diverse cultural setting. C. The value of artworks cannot be ignored in education. D. Posters are equally effective in helping brain development. 31. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Reproductions Harm Innovations. B. Genuine Artworks Heal Mental Diseases. C. New Technology Assists Brain Activity Analysis. D. Real Art Stimulates Brain Much More than Reprints. 【答案】28. B 29. D 30. C 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章介绍了真正的艺术作品相比于赝品而言，更容易刺激大脑，尤其对儿童期的成长更为重要。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据文中第三段中“The volunteers, aged between 21 and 65, were attached to a brain scanner and eye-tracking equipment and asked to look at five paintings in the museum, plus posters of them in the museum shop. (这些志愿者年龄在21岁到65岁之间，他们被连接到脑部扫描仪和眼动追踪设备，并被要求在博物馆里观看五幅画作，以及在博物馆商店里观看这些画作的海报)”可知，志愿者在研究过程中主要是观察博物馆中的五幅画作以及博物馆商店中的这些画作的海报，故选B。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据文中第四段中“The real artworks aroused a strong positive response in the precuneus, part of the brain involved with consciousness, self-reflection and personal memories, researchers said. (研究人员表示，真正的艺术品在涉及意识、自我反思和个人记忆的大脑区域楔前叶中引发了强烈的积极反应)”可知，真正的艺术品能够更深入地与大脑互动，从而产生更强的刺激，故选D。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据文中最后一段中Erik Scherder所说的“This is a rich environment that really makes a difference, particularly for children in the growth period. (这是一个丰富的环境，确实会产生影响，尤其是对处于成长期的儿童来说)”可知，Erik Scherder强调了真正的艺术品在儿童成长期教育中的重要性，说明艺术品在教育中的价值不容忽视，故选C。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“A study in the Netherlands has revealed that real works of art in a museum stimulate the brain in a way that is 10 times stronger than looking at a poster. (荷兰的一项研究揭示，博物馆中的真实艺术品对大脑的刺激强度是观看海报的10倍)”及全文可知，文章主要介绍了一项研究，该研究发现真正的艺术品比复制品更能刺激大脑，尤其是对儿童的成长有重要意义。因此，D项“真正的艺术比复制品更能刺激大脑”作为标题最为合适，既涵盖了文章的核心内容，又具有吸引力。故选D。 D It is a classic problem for job seekers and anyone: If you brag (吹嘘) about your accomplishments, you seem more competent—but less likable. The solution? Add a bit of playfulness when discussing your talents. A team of researchers have found that “humorbragging”—referring to your accomplishments through a veil of humor—allows people to play up their skills without being described as vain. And that makes them more likely to get hired or get their opinions accepted. “The self-enhancing humor helps them be seen as confident without sacrificing likability,” says Jieun Pai, an assistant professor at Imperial College London who led the research. The researchers used a series of studies to test the impact of what they called humorbragging. In one instance, they sent out two resumes to 345 companies—but one resume added a dash of self-promotional humor instead of being purely serious: “The more coffee you can provide, the more output I will produce.” The resume with the joke got an email or a callback by 156 companies, versus 125 for the other. In another case, the researchers found that study participants were more likely to hire chefs who are humorous when selling themselves. One chef described making a soccer-themed cake for a boy’s fifth-birthday party and mentioned that he got the biggest tip he had ever seen. A baker who was the hiring favorite told the same story, but ended up by saying, “I am just glad that I only had to make the soccer ball, not actually kick one.” “People need to be cautious, though, when using humor to sell themselves,” Pai says. Self-deprecating (自嘲式的) humor without any bragging at all, or humor intended to belittle others in any form, doesn’t have the same positive impact that humorous bragging does, according to the research. “We sometimes use self-deprecating humor, but that may lead to the opposite result that was intended,” she says. “It doesn’t help you be seen as more competent.” 32. What do we know about humorbragging? A. It lowers likability. B. It is favored by employers. C. It is a must for job seekers. D. It makes one appear overconfident. 33. Which aspect of humorbragging does the research team focus on? A. Various forms. B. Psychological causes. C. Beneficial effects. D. Practical applications. 34. What can we say about the two chefs from paragraph 4? A. They expect the same salary. B. They differ in working experience. C. They specialize in different types of cakes. D. They adopt distinct ways of self-introduction. 35. Which example agrees with Pai’s advice on humorbragging? A. I’m a challenge addict—bring on the tough stuff! B. I’m an office clown, who always makes everyone laugh. C. I’m the master of the “almost got it”—close enough is good enough. D. I may not be the smartest person, but I’m surely smarter than the next guy! 【答案】32. B 33. C 34. D 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章探讨了“幽默吹嘘”在求职和人际交往中的作用，通过幽默的方式展示自己的成就，既能提升自信又不会让人反感，从而增加被雇佣或被接受的机会。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“A team of researchers have found that “humorbragging”—referring to your accomplishments through a veil of humor—allows people to play up their skills without being described as vain. And that makes them more likely to get hired or get their opinions accepted. (一个研究团队发现，“幽默吹嘘”——通过幽默的外衣提及自己的成就——能让人们在不被描述为自负的情况下突出自己的技能，而这使他们更有可能被雇佣或让自己的观点被接受。)”可知，“humorbragging”是受到雇主青睐的一种自我展示方式。故选B。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“The researchers used a series of studies to test the impact of what they called humorbragging. In one instance, they sent out two resumes to 345 companies—but one resume added a dash of self-promotional humor instead of being purely serious: “The more coffee you can provide, the more output I will produce.” The resume with the joke got an email or a callback by 156 companies, versus 125 for the other. (研究人员通过一系列研究来测试他们所称的“幽默吹嘘”的影响。在一个例子中，他们向345家公司发送了两份简历，但其中一份简历加入了一点自我推销的幽默，而不是完全严肃：“你能提供的咖啡越多，我就能产出越多。”带有玩笑的简历收到了来自156家公司的邮件或回电，而另一份简历则只有125家。)”可知，研究团队关注的是“humorbragging”的有益效果。故选C。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“A baker who was the hiring favorite told the same story, but ended up by saying, “I am just glad that I only had to make the soccer ball, not actually kick one.” (一位被优先考虑录用的面包师讲述了同样的故事，但最后说：“我只是很高兴我只需要制作一个足球蛋糕，而不是真的去踢一个足球。”)”可知，他们采用了不同的自我介绍方式。故选D。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““People need to be cautious, though, when using humor to sell themselves,” Pai says. Self-deprecating (自嘲式的) humor without any bragging at all, or humor intended to belittle others in any form, doesn’t have the same positive impact that humorous bragging does, according to the research. (“然而，人们在用幽默推销自己的时候需要谨慎。”Pai说。研究显示，完全没有吹嘘的自嘲式幽默，或者任何形式旨在贬低他人的幽默，并不具备幽默吹嘘所具有的那种积极影响。)”可知，Pai建议不要贬低自己或者贬低他人，否则会适得其反，选项A中的“I’m a challenge addict—bring on the tough stuff!”(我是挑战迷——越难的事情越好！) 是一种自信且幽默的表达方式，符合Pai的建议。其他选项要么带有自嘲性质，要么可能被理解为贬低他人。故选A。 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 When it comes to being fit and healthy, most of us know by now that 10,000 steps is recommended everywhere as a target to achieve. ___36___ The 10,000 steps a day target seems to have come about from a trade name pedometer (计步器) sold in 1965 by Yamasa Clock in Japan. The device was called “Manpo-kei”, which translates to “10,000 steps meter”. This was a marketing tool for the device and has seemed to have stuck across the world as the daily step target. ___37___ But while some research has shown health benefits at 10,000 steps, recent research from Harvard Medical School has shown that, on average, approximately 4,400 steps a day is enough to significantly lower the risk of death in women. This was when compared to only walking around 2,700 steps daily. The more steps people walked, the lower their risk of dying was, before leveling off at around 7,500 steps a day. ___38___ Although it’s uncertain whether similar results would be seen in men, it’s one example of how moving a little bit more daily can improve health and lower risk of death. ___39___ One easy way to do that is to increase your current step count by about 2,000 steps a day. Other easy ways to move more daily include walking to work if possible, or taking part of an online exercise program if you’re working from home. ___40___ And given that even small amounts of physical activity positively impact your health, taking regular breaks to move around if you’re working at a desk all day will help to easily get more physical activity. A. No additional benefits were seen with more steps. B. Is walking 10,000 steps every day really necessary? C. But do you know where this number actually came from? D. There are several ways to increase steps or simply move more. E. It’s even included in daily activity targets by popular smart watches. F. The ways to improve our health lie in many aspects such as exercising more. G. Meeting with friends for a walk rather than in a cafe or pub can also be useful. 【答案】36. C 37. E 38. A 39. D 40. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了每天一万步这一流行目标的来源，指出有研究表明对女性而言约4400步就能显著降低死亡风险，7500步后无更多额外益处，并分享了增加步数和日常活动量的多种方法。 【36题详解】 前文“When it comes to being fit and healthy, most of us know by now that 10,000 steps is recommended everywhere as a target to achieve. (说到健美和健康，我们大多数人现在都知道，一万步是到处推荐的目标)”提到走一万步维持健康的目标，后文“The 10,000 steps a day target seems to have come about from a trade name pedometer (计步器) sold in 1965 by Yamasa Clock in Japan. (每天走一万步的目标似乎源自1965年日本Yamasa钟表公司推出的一款计步器的商品名)”说明这一目标的来源，因此C项“But do you know where this number actually came from? (但是你知道这个数字实际上来自哪里吗)”符合语境，提出数字来源的问题，和前文构成转折，引出后文的回答，其中的this number指代前文提到的10,000。故选C。 【37题详解】 前文“This was a marketing tool for the device and has seemed to have stuck across the world as the daily step target. (这是该设备的一种营销工具，似乎已经成为全球各地的日常步数目标)”提到走一万步作为日常步数目标流行起来，因此E项“It’s even included in daily activity targets by popular smart watches. (它甚至被流行的智能手表纳入日常活动目标)”符合语境，进一步说明了这个目标的流行情况，承接前文。故选E。 【38题详解】 前文“The more steps people walked, the lower their risk of dying was, before leveling off at around 7,500 steps a day. (人们走的步数越多，死亡的风险就越低，之后会稳定在每天7500步左右)”指出每天约7500步时风险降低趋势趋于平稳，因此A项“No additional benefits were seen with more steps. (再多走步数也没有看到额外的好处)”符合语境，说明更多的步数不会增益，承接前文。故选A。 【39题详解】 后文“One easy way to do that is to increase your current step count by about 2,000 steps a day. Other easy ways to move more daily include walking to work if possible, or taking part of an online exercise program if you’re working from home. (一个简单的方法就是每天增加2000步的步数。其他简单的每天多运动的方法包括走路去上班，如果可能的话，或者如果你在家工作，参加一个在线锻炼项目)”介绍各种增加日常活动量的具体方法，因此D项“There are several ways to increase steps or simply move more. (有几种增加步数或更多活动的方法)”符合语境，总的指出增加步数有方法可循，统领后文，适合作为段首句。故选D。 【40题详解】 “One easy way to do that is to increase your current step count by about 2,000 steps a day. Other easy ways to move more daily include walking to work if possible, or taking part of an online exercise program if you’re working from home. (一个简单的方法就是每天增加2000步的步数。其他简单的每天多运动的方法包括走路去上班，如果可能的话，或者如果你在家工作，参加一个在线锻炼项目)”介绍各种增加日常活动量的具体方法，因此G项“Meeting with friends for a walk rather than in a cafe or pub can also be useful. (和朋友见面去散步而不是在咖啡馆或酒吧也会很有用)”符合语境，继续说明增加活动量的途径，和前文是并列关系。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。 In 2013, Kahn-Scolaro’s sister, Susan Kahn, was diagnosed with pancreatic (胰腺的) cancer.

This year, our group’s experience was particularly unforgettable, not just for the final outcome, but for the voyage we set out on hand in hand. As the final week approached, panic set in. We had taken on a challenging project of building a complex robot model which we thought would be a surprise to the judges, but it seemed like everything was going wrong. Time was not on our side, we still had a lot to do, and mistakes were made along the way. The instructions were so confusing that we couldn’t make sense of them. To make matters worse, some of the essential parts appeared to be missing. It seemed as if the universe itself were plotting against us. The weight of looming failure pressed heavily on our shoulders. We were cross to complain or blame each other. Feeling defeated and frustrated (沮丧), four of us were on the edge of giving up. Just when all hope seemed lost, the group leader, Mary came to our rescue. She patiently sat down with us. “Hey, guys, cheer up! Time is limited, it’s impossible!” Lily murmured. “But I really thought we couldn’t do this. It’s impossible!” Lily murmured. “Don’t give up. Remember what Winston Churchill said, ‘Success is not final, failure is not fatal; it is the courage to continue that counts.’ We can do this.” “Yes. But great things never come easy,” Mary stood up, “We’ve come this far; we can’t quit now. We are a group, let’s work together and we can make it. Come on, my friends!” Her encouragements was like a ray of light in the darkness. The other five group members stood up one by one and said firmly, “You’re right. Let’s keep going.” “That’s the spirit! Together, we’ll overcome this challenge.” We put our hands together. 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。 With Mary’s leadership, we regained our confidence and started working together. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, the day of the science fair arrived. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】With Mary’s leadership, we regained our confidence and started working together. We went through the instructions step by step and sorted out the parts and organized them in a way that made sense. Each of us took on different tasks according to our strengths. Some of us were responsible for assembling the parts, while others focused on programming the robot. Tired as we felt, we put in long hours to make sure our project was completed on time. During that period, we remained positive and supportive. We corrected our mistakes and encouraged each other to keep going. Finally, the day of the science fair arrived. We were nervous but also proud of what we had accomplished. To our great surprise and delight, our robot model won the first prize. The whole group was overjoyed. We hugged each other, tears of joy streaming down our faces. We knew that it was our teamwork and mutual support that had led to this success. Mary smiled and said, "We did it together!” Everyone was filled with a sense of achievement. We understood that when we faced difficulties and helped each other, nothing was impossible. 【解析】 【导语】本文以时间发展为线索，讲述了作者所在小组在学校科学展览会上准备一个复杂机器人项目的经历。在面临时间紧迫、任务艰巨、指导书混乱和关键部件缺失等诸多困难时，小组成员几乎要放弃，但在组长Mary的鼓励下，他们重新振作起来。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①第一段首句“在玛丽的领导下，我们重新找回了信心，并开始一起工作。”表明，在Mary的领导下，小组重新找回了信心并开始分工合作。他们逐步梳理指导书，整理部件，并根据各自的优势分配任务。 ②第二段首句“终于，科学展览会的那一天到来了。”表明，科学展览会的当天，小组成员虽然紧张，但也为自己的成果感到自豪。最终，他们的机器人模型获得了第一名，小组成员都感到非常高兴。 2. 续写线索： 遇到困难——大家互相鼓励——Mary的领导——小组分工合作——克服困难——保持积极态度——科学展览会当天——小组获得第一名——成员们的喜悦和成就感——团队合作的重要性。 3. 词汇激活： 行为类： ①领导：leadership → guidance, direction ②承担：take on → handle, undertake ③鼓励：encourage → motivate, inspire 情绪类： ①自信：confidence → self-assurance, belief ②紧张：nervous → anxious, uneasy 【点睛】【高级句型1】Some of us were responsible for assembling the parts, while others focused on programming the robot.
