B Brazilian artist and activist Mundano recently painted a large picture on a building in Sao Paulo using materials from natural disasters to encourage people to be more concerned about climate change, which has been causing terrible weather events across Brazil. The artwork is impressive, stretching over 30 meters high and 48 meters wide. Mundano used ashes (灰烬) from wildfires and mud (泥浆) from floods to create it. The painting shows the gray remains of trees on a broken, brown land, symbolizing the destruction of forests and the severe drought in the Amazon rainforest. In recent months, human-caused wildfires have severely damaged protected areas in the Amazon, including parts of the Cerrado grassland and the Pantanal, the world’s largest tropical wetland. Additionally, the dry season in Brazil’s Amazon this year has been worse than usual, leading to disastrous floods earlier in the year that killed over 180 people, affected over 2 million, and destroyed city communities. Mundano, who refers to himself as an “artivist,” added mud from one of these floods to his new wall painting. The materials were gleaned by the activist group Movement of People Affected by Dams at the disaster scenes. He also used ashes from fires in the Atlantic Forest, the Pantanal, and the Cerrado, as well as earth from waste containers in Sao Paulo and from the Sawre Muybu Indigenous land in the Amazon. Three years ago, Mundano created a similar wall painting in Sao Paulo using ashes from the Amazon. That piece featured a firefighter standing in a deforested area, along with a cow farm and trucks loaded with cut trees, further highlighting the issue of climate change and its impact on the environment. 4. Why did Mundano create the painting? A. To show his excellent painting skills. B. To beautify the building in Sao Paulo. C. To raise awareness about climate change. D. To record the natural disasters in Brazil. 5. What makes Mundano’s wall painting special? A. Its costs. B. Its materials. C. Its color. D. Its subject. 6. What does the underlined word “gleaned” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Collected. B. Recycled. C. Measured. D. Recommended. 7. What does the text say about the current situation of Amazon? A. It is witnessing great growth in its plant diversity. B. It is receiving global recognition for its attractive landscape. C. It is facing severe environmental challenges from human activities. D. It is recovering from previous damage caused by natural disasters. C “I think she is depressed,” a mother sitting in my office whispered to me. The teenager in front of me stared at the floor, then took out her phone and started texting her friends. Her mother said she had been like this for nearly two weeks ever since she failed in her exam. I took a look at the mother and then at her child, wondering where to begin. When you’re a teenager, feeling sad after you’ve failed an exam is not a mental illness. It’s quite normal. This sort of thing was far from uncommon when I worked in the youngster’s mental health center. I was astonished at how spoiled (惯坏的) children had become with parents seeming to have lost all awareness of proper judgment. Of course, it makes sense to me that parents are worried about their teenagers. It can be a strange, confusing time for both the child and the parents to see a sweet little baby change right in front of the eyes. I also gel it that it’s sometimes difficult to differentiate between what’s normal and what should be setting off alarm bells. Modern parents are around their children all the time, assuming every little tear means that they need immediate psychological (心理的) help when what they really need is a kind word or a cup of tea. Children are overly protected, like being kept in a small, separate space away from everything else. They’re not even allowed to touch soft things like cotton wool because it might hurt their sensitive skin. This type of parenting that creates this “snowflake generation” might make their childhood easy, but it makes them unprepared for the real world. It does children huge harm because it equips them with no life skills for going through the difficulties they will face when they are adults. We have created a generation who lack any self-reliance and strength, who believe the world revolves (转动) entirely round them and that their feelings always come first. But how will they deal with the big bad world once they finally grow up? 8. What caused the girl’s depression according to her mother? A. An academic failure. B. A fight with her friends. C. The addiction to the phone. D. The disagreement between them. 9. How does the author consider the mother’s worry about her daughter? A. It’s necessary. B. It’s understandable. C. It’s a rather rare scene in his career. D. It reflects the proper judgment of parents. 10. What does the author mean by “snowflake generation”? A. A generation that is strong and adaptable. B. A generation that is highly brilliant and flexible. C. A generation that is good at dealing with difficulties. D. A generation that is overly sensitive and lacks independence. 11. What is the author’s attitude towards modern parenting? A. Critical. B. Supportive. C. Uncaring. D. Unclear. D At the end of this century, the number of people in the world who are over 65 years old will be three times as many as now. As there won’t be enough young and healthy laborers (劳动者) to do hard physical work, we will need a lot of robots to keep our country going. The UK’s Advanced Research and Invention Agency (ARIA) is investing (投资) £57million in next-generation robots for tasks typically performed by humans. ARIA isn’t the only one to think that robots will get much better. E l on Musk says his car company Tesla has almost finished making “really useful human-like robots”, and his final aim is to have a robot that can “walk your dog, look after your house, take care of your kids, and cook dinner.” Figure, a new company working with Open AI, has shown a video of its robot working on a BMW production line. Unitree, a Chinese company, sells a robot for $16,000 that can climb stairs and stay standing even if you push it hard. Even though robots have improved, the ones we use in factories now are often called “big, stupid, and dangerous”, and we need to put them in cages to be safe. To do jobs in places that are always changing, robots need to learn from what they do. For example, Google’s robot arms that use AI got better at their jobs by trying and learning from mistakes. As the idea of human -like robots is becoming more popular, start-ups are receiving significant investments. While achieving human-like skills in robots may take decades, easier jobs like watching over dangerous areas could be done by robots sooner. In the UK, robots are already delivering groceries and trying to pick strawberries. However, the robot social care are far from satisfying. The Japanese experience with robots like Pepper, designed for social care, led to complaints of increased workloads and being discontinued. Even so, the development of robots that can multitask and adapt to various tasks is seen as a potential supplement to the human workforce. 12. How does the author develop paragraph2? A. By making comparisons. B. By giving examples. C. By listing numbers. D. By presenting assumptions. 13. What is the main disadvantage of current industrial robots? A. They are too complex to manage. B. They are too small to use. C. They are not intelligent enough. D. They are not energy-efficient. 14. What can be inferred about the robots in social care from the text? A. Their performance depends on human guidance. B. They have been widely used around the world. C. They are only suitable for simple tasks. D. Their service remains to be improved. 15. What can be the best title for the text? A. The Rise of Robots B. ARIA’s Global Robot Project C. Developing Robots for Lack of Laborers D. Robots That Are Shaping the World 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 One of my patients recently asked, “Am I depressed? I just can’t seem to feel any joy in life.” Despite having no major stressors, life had lost its meaning for him. ___16___ Everyone has bad days or moments of feeling down. When joylessness becomes common occurrence, it may signal a condition known as “anhedonia”, which makes it difficult to experience positive emotions such as happiness or pleasure. When someone experiences it, their world may seem grey. ___17___ However, the situation isn’t hopeless. There are steps we can take to bring joy back into our lives. One of the first steps is recognizing and dealing with joy blockers. These include emotions like guilt, anxiety, or shame. ___18___ Working through them can help us reconnect with positive feelings that have been buried beneath the surface. ___19___ Positive emotions are able to spread from one individual to another. A simple praise,spoken with sincerity, can have a great impact on both the giver and the recipient. It can brighten someone’s day, boost their confidence, and in turn, make us feel good about ourselves. What’s more, studies show that feeling joy for others can also reduce symptoms of depression. It’s a win-win situation, where by focusing on the happiness of those around us, we end up benefiting ourselves as well. We can also practice “relational savoring”, which means actively enjoying and appreciating positive moments, no matter how small. In our fast-paced lives, we often rush from one task to another, missing out on the simple pleasures that surround us every day. It could be the warmth of a morning hug from a loved one, the sound of a child’s laughter, or the sight of a beautiful flower blooming in the garden. ___20___ A. You will feel better with support. B. Even achieving goals feels unimportant. C. If you’ve ever felt this way, you’re not alone. D. Another powerful way to generate joy is by praising others. E. Joylessness never comes alone, but is accompanied by lots of other bad feelings. F. Such emotions can prevent us from accessing joy even without our awareness. G. By stopping for a moment to enjoy the moments, we can increase our overall well-being. 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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 I have always had a deep love for art.

My father happened to hear about some skating classes in our local community and he seemed to strongly believe that I was going to be good at skating. So he filled out the form and got me signed up for it. I was extremely excited because it sounded like a lot of fun to learn how to skate. But at the same time, I was also a little frightened. After all, it was something completely new to me. Fortunately, my family were always there to support me. They kept telling me that I could do it. The first skating class was set to start at 7:00 am. I was really looking forward to it. My father and I were able to make it to the class on time. When we arrived at the skating rink (冰场), I was shocked: Even though it was the very first class, some of the students were already skating like real experts! They were gliding (滑行) around the rink so smoothly. When it was time to get the skating shoes, all the ones that fit me were already taken. The instructor had to give me a pair that didn’t fit well at all. They were too big and felt really uncomfortable on my feet. My father and the instructor could see that I was a bit down. They kept telling me not to worry and that everyone starts from the beginning. With their encouragement, I decided to give it a try. But it was really hard. Every time I tried to skate, I would fall down. It was so embarrassing. However, the instructor was really nice. He would hold my hand and walk with me around the rink, teaching me the basic steps and how to balance. After that first class, when I returned home, I couldn’t stop thinking about skating. I kept wondering how I could improve and become an expert like those other students. 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。 The next day, my father bought me a new pair of skating shoes. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When the next class arrived, I walked into the rink with newfound pride. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1-5 BCBAB 6-10 ACBAC 11-15 ABCCC 16-20 ABCBA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2024-2025学年上学期高二年级期末检测 英语 考生注意： 1．答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号填写在试卷和答题卡上，并将考生号条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3．考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有2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小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

The artwork is impressive, stretching over 30 meters high and 48 meters wide. Mundano used ashes (灰烬) from wildfires and mud (泥浆) from floods to create it. The painting shows the gray remains of trees on a broken, brown land, symbolizing the destruction of forests and the severe drought in the Amazon rainforest. In recent months, human-caused wildfires have severely damaged protected areas in the Amazon, including parts of the Cerrado grassland and the Pantanal, the world’s largest tropical wetland. Additionally, the dry season in Brazil’s Amazon this year has been worse than usual, leading to disastrous floods earlier in the year that killed over 180 people, affected over 2 million, and destroyed city communities. Mundano, who refers to himself as an “artivist,” added mud from one of these floods to his new wall painting. The materials were gleaned by the activist group Movement of People Affected by Dams at the disaster scenes. He also used ashes from fires in the Atlantic Forest, the Pantanal, and the Cerrado, as well as earth from waste containers in Sao Paulo and from the Sawre Muybu Indigenous land in the Amazon. Three years ago, Mundano created a similar wall painting in Sao Paulo using ashes from the Amazon. That piece featured a firefighter standing in a deforested area, along with a cow farm and trucks loaded with cut trees, further highlighting the issue of climate change and its impact on the environment. 4. Why did Mundano create the painting? A. To show his excellent painting skills. B. To beautify the building in Sao Paulo. C. To raise awareness about climate change. D. To record the natural disasters in Brazil. 5. What makes Mundano’s wall painting special? A. Its costs. B. Its materials. C. Its color. D. Its subject. 6. What does the underlined word “gleaned” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Collected. B. Recycled. C. Measured. D. Recommended. 7. What does the text say about the current situation of Amazon? A. It is witnessing great growth in its plant diversity. B. It is receiving global recognition for its attractive landscape. C. It is facing severe environmental challenges from human activities. D. It is recovering from previous damage caused by natural disasters. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文为新闻报道。巴西艺术家和活动家Mundano最近用来自野火的灰烬和来自洪水的泥浆在圣保罗的一座建筑上画了一幅画来展示气候变化问题。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Brazilian artist and activist Mundano recently painted a large picture on a building in Sao Paulo using materials from natural disasters to encourage people to be more concerned about climate change, which has been causing terrible weather events across Brazil.(巴西艺术家兼活动家mund a no最近在圣保罗的一座建筑上画了一幅巨幅画，用自然灾害中的材料来鼓励人们更加关注气候变化，气候变化已经在巴西各地造成了可怕的天气事件)”可知，Mundano的目的是提升人们对气候变化的关注。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Mundano used ashes (灰烬) from wildfires and mud (泥浆) from floods to create it.(Mundano用野火的灰烬和洪水的泥土来制作它)”可知，这幅画的特殊之处在于它使用的材料。故选B。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Mundano, who refers to himself as an “artivist,” added mud from one of these floods to his new wall painting.(称自己为“艺术家”的Mundano在他的新壁画中加入了其中一次洪水中的泥土)”可知，Mundano使用了来自洪水的泥浆作颜料；根据下文“He also used ashes from fires(他还使用了火的灰烬)”可知，他也使用了来自火灾的灰烬。由此推知，该句表示这些材料是由Movement of People Affected by Dams活动小组在灾难现场收集的。glean与collect意思相近，意为“收集”。故选A。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“In recent months, human-caused wildfires have severely damaged protected areas in the Amazon, including parts of the Cerrado grassland and the Pantanal, the world’s largest tropical wetland.(近几个月来，人为造成的野火严重破坏了亚马逊的保护区，包括塞拉多草原和世界上最大的热带湿地潘塔纳尔的部分地区)”可知，亚马逊正面临由人类活动造成的环境挑战。故选C。 C “I think she is depressed,” a mother sitting in my office whispered to me. The teenager in front of me stared at the floor, then took out her phone and started texting her friends. Her mother said she had been like this for nearly two weeks ever since she failed in her exam. I took a look at the mother and then at her child, wondering where to begin. When you’re a teenager, feeling sad after you’ve failed an exam is not a mental illness. It’s quite normal. This sort of thing was far from uncommon when I worked in the youngster’s mental health center. I was astonished at how spoiled (惯坏的) children had become with parents seeming to have lost all awareness of proper judgment. Of course, it makes sense to me that parents are worried about their teenagers. It can be a strange, confusing time for both the child and the parents to see a sweet little baby change right in front of the eyes. I also gel it that it’s sometimes difficult to differentiate between what’s normal and what should be setting off alarm bells. Modern parents are around their children all the time, assuming every little tear means that they need immediate psychological (心理的) help when what they really need is a kind word or a cup of tea. Children are overly protected, like being kept in a small, separate space away from everything else. They’re not even allowed to touch soft things like cotton wool because it might hurt their sensitive skin. This type of parenting that creates this “snowflake generation” might make their childhood easy, but it makes them unprepared for the real world. It does children huge harm because it equips them with no life skills for going through the difficulties they will face when they are adults. We have created a generation who lack any self-reliance and strength, who believe the world revolves (转动) entirely round them and that their feelings always come first. But how will they deal with the big bad world once they finally grow up? 8. What caused the girl’s depression according to her mother? A. An academic failure. B. A fight with her friends. C. The addiction to the phone. D. The disagreement between them. 9. How does the author consider the mother’s worry about her daughter? A. It’s necessary. B. It’s understandable. C. It’s a rather rare scene in his career. D. It reflects the proper judgment of parents. 10. What does the author mean by “snowflake generation”? A. A generation that is strong and adaptable. B. A generation that is highly brilliant and flexible. C. A generation that is good at dealing with difficulties. D. A generation that is overly sensitive and lacks independence. 11. What is the author’s attitude towards modern parenting? A. Critical. B. Supportive. C. Uncaring. D. Unclear. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文为说明文。文章介绍了一小女孩考试失败后心情不好，不愿意说话，被母亲误认为是抑郁了从而找医生来调节。医生通过这一现象反思了当代父母对子女过度保护的现象，并提出当代青年需要更多的自由。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Her mother said she had been like this for nearly two weeks ever since she failed in her exam. (她的母亲说，自从她考试不及格后，她就一直这样将近两周了。)”可知，在小女孩的妈妈看来，她目前的状态是因为考试失利导致的。故选A。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“This sort of thing was far from uncommon when I worked in the youngster’s mental health center. (当我在青少年心理健康中心工作时，这种事情并不罕见。)”以及“Of course, it makes sense to me that parents are worried about their teenagers. It can be a strange, confusing time for both the child and the parents to see a sweet little baby change right in front of the eyes. (当然，对我来说，父母担心他们的青少年是有道理的。对于孩子和父母来说，看到一个可爱的小婴儿在眼前发生变化，这可能是一个奇怪的、令人困惑的时刻。)”可推知，在作者看来，这位母亲对孩子的担忧是很正常的，可以理解。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“This type of parenting that creates this “snowflake generation” might make their childhood easy, but it makes them unprepared for the real world. It does children huge harm because it equips them with no life skills for going through the difficulties they will face when they are adults. (这种养育方式造就了“雪花一代”，可能会让他们的童年变得轻松，但却让他们对现实世界毫无准备。它给孩子们带来了巨大的伤害，因为它使他们没有生活技能来度过他们成年后将面临的困难。)”可知，“雪花一代”指的是缺乏自理能力、无法应对真实世界中的挑战的一代人。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“This type of parenting that creates this “snowflake generation” might make their childhood easy, but it makes them unprepared for the real world. It does children huge harm because it equips them with no life skills for going through the difficulties they will face when they are adults. We have created a generation who lack any self-reliance and strength, who believe the world revolves (转动) entirely round them and that their feelings always come first. But how will they deal with the big bad world once they finally grow up? (这种养育方式造就了“雪花一代”，可能会让他们的童年变得轻松，但却让他们对现实世界毫无准备。它给孩子们带来了巨大的伤害，因为它使他们没有生活技能来度过他们成年后将面临的困难。我们创造了一代缺乏自立和力量的人，他们认为世界完全以他们为中心，他们的感情永远是第一位的。但是，一旦他们长大成人，他们将如何面对这个邪恶的世界呢？)”以及文章主要讲述了一位母亲对自己青春期女儿可能存在的抑郁情况的担忧，并借此引出作者对现代育儿方式的评论。作者批评了父母过度保护孩子的倾向，称这一代为“雪花一代”，认为这种育儿方式使孩子们缺乏应对现实生活挑战的能力。也就是说，作者对现代育儿持批判态度。故选A。 D At the end of this century, the number of people in the world who are over 65 years old will be three times as many as now. As there won’t be enough young and healthy laborers (劳动者) to do hard physical work, we will need a lot of robots to keep our country going. The UK’s Advanced Research and Invention Agency (ARIA) is investing (投资) £57million in next-generation robots for tasks typically performed by humans. ARIA isn’t the only one to think that robots will get much better. E l on Musk says his car company Tesla has almost finished making “really useful human-like robots”, and his final aim is to have a robot that can “walk your dog, look after your house, take care of your kids, and cook dinner.” Figure, a new company working with Open AI, has shown a video of its robot working on a BMW production line. Unitree, a Chinese company, sells a robot for $16,000 that can climb stairs and stay standing even if you push it hard. Even though robots have improved, the ones we use in factories now are often called “big, stupid, and dangerous”, and we need to put them in cages to be safe. To do jobs in places that are always changing, robots need to learn from what they do. For example, Google’s robot arms that use AI got better at their jobs by trying and learning from mistakes. As the idea of human -like robots is becoming more popular, start-ups are receiving significant investments. While achieving human-like skills in robots may take decades, easier jobs like watching over dangerous areas could be done by robots sooner. In the UK, robots are already delivering groceries and trying to pick strawberries. However, the robot social care are far from satisfying. The Japanese experience with robots like Pepper, designed for social care, led to complaints of increased workloads and being discontinued. Even so, the development of robots that can multitask and adapt to various tasks is seen as a potential supplement to the human workforce. 12. How does the author develop paragraph2? A. By making comparisons. B. By giving examples. C. By listing numbers. D. By presenting assumptions. 13. What is the main disadvantage of current industrial robots? A. They are too complex to manage. B. They are too small to use. C. They are not intelligent enough. D. They are not energy-efficient. 14. What can be inferred about the robots in social care from the text? A. Their performance depends on human guidance. B. They have been widely used around the world. C. They are only suitable for simple tasks. D. Their service remains to be improved. 15. What can be the best title for the text? A. The Rise of Robots B. ARIA’s Global Robot Project C. Developing Robots for Lack of Laborers D. Robots That Are Shaping the World 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讨论了到本世纪末，全球65岁以上的人口将会是现在的三倍，各大科技公司都在研发机器人以应对劳动力短缺问题。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“The UK’s Advanced Research and Invention Agency (ARIA) is investing (投资) £57million in next-generation robots for tasks typically performed by humans. ARIA isn’t the only one to think that robots will get much better. E l on Musk says his car company Tesla has almost finished making “really useful human-like robots”, and his final aim is to have a robot that can “walk your dog, look after your house, take care of your kids, and cook dinner.” Figure, a new company working with Open AI, has shown a video of its robot working on a BMW production line. Unitree, a Chinese company, sells a robot for $16,000 that can climb stairs and stay standing even if you push it hard. (英国高级研究与发明局（ARIA）正在投资5700万英镑研发下一代机器人，以完成通常由人类完成的任务。ARIA并不是唯一一个认为机器人会变得更好的人。马斯克表示，他的汽车公司特斯拉几乎已经完成了“真正有用的类人机器人”的制造，他的最终目标是制造出一款可以“遛狗、看家、照顾孩子和做饭”的机器人。与Open AI合作的新公司Figure展示了其机器人在宝马生产线上工作的视频。中国公司Unitree以1.6万美元的价格出售一款机器人，即使你用力推它，它也能爬楼梯并保持站立。)”可知，本段分别讲述了英国公司ARIA、美国公司Tesla和Figure 及中国公司Unitree 在发展智能机器人方面的努力，写作手法为举例子。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Even though robots have improved, the ones we use in factories now are often called “big, stupid, and dangerous”, and we need to put them in cages to be safe.(尽管机器人已经改进了，但我们现在在工厂里使用的机器人经常被称为“大、笨、危险”，我们需要把它们关在笼子里以确保安全。)”可知，目前在工厂里面使用的机器人的缺点之一是它们不够智能。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“However, the robot social care are far from satisfying.(然而，机器人的社会关怀远非令人满意。)”以及下文列举的事例可知，日本使用Pepper机器人进行社会护理时，出现了工作量增加和被停用的抱怨，这表明机器人在社会护理中提供的服务还有待改进。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“As there won’t be enough young and healthy laborers (劳动者) to do hard physical work, we will need a lot of robots to keep our country going.(由于没有足够的年轻健康的劳动者来从事繁重的体力劳动，我们将需要大量的机器人来维持我们国家的运转。)”并结合全文可知，本文重点讲全世界都在开发机器人以应对劳动力短缺问题。故选C。 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 One of my patients recently asked, “Am I depressed? I just can’t seem to feel any joy in life.” Despite having no major stressors, life had lost its meaning for him. ___16___ Everyone has bad days or moments of feeling down. When joylessness becomes common occurrence, it may signal a condition known as “anhedonia”, which makes it difficult to experience positive emotions such as happiness or pleasure. When someone experiences it, their world may seem grey. ___17___ However, the situation isn’t hopeless. There are steps we can take to bring joy back into our lives. One of the first steps is recognizing and dealing with joy blockers. These include emotions like guilt, anxiety, or shame. ___18___ Working through them can help us reconnect with positive feelings that have been buried beneath the surface. ___19___ Positive emotions are able to spread from one individual to another. A simple praise,spoken with sincerity, can have a great impact on both the giver and the recipient. It can brighten someone’s day, boost their confidence, and in turn, make us feel good about ourselves. What’s more, studies show that feeling joy for others can also reduce symptoms of depression. It’s a win-win situation, where by focusing on the happiness of those around us, we end up benefiting ourselves as well. We can also practice “relational savoring”, which means actively enjoying and appreciating positive moments, no matter how small. In our fast-paced lives, we often rush from one task to another, missing out on the simple pleasures that surround us every day. It could be the warmth of a morning hug from a loved one, the sound of a child’s laughter, or the sight of a beautiful flower blooming in the garden. ___20___ A. You will feel better with support. B. Even achieving goals feels unimportant. C. If you’ve ever felt this way, you’re not alone. D. Another powerful way to generate joy is by praising others. E. Joylessness never comes alone, but is accompanied by lots of other bad feelings. F. Such emotions can prevent us from accessing joy even without our awareness. G. By stopping for a moment to enjoy the moments, we can increase our overall well-being. 【答案】16. C 17. B 18. F 19. D 20.

My father happened to hear about some skating classes in our local community and he seemed to strongly believe that I was going to be good at skating. So he filled out the form and got me signed up for it. I was extremely excited because it sounded like a lot of fun to learn how to skate. But at the same time, I was also a little frightened. After all, it was something completely new to me. Fortunately, my family were always there to support me. They kept telling me that I could do it. The first skating class was set to start at 7:00 am. I was really looking forward to it. My father and I were able to make it to the class on time. When we arrived at the skating rink (冰场), I was shocked: Even though it was the very first class, some of the students were already skating like real experts! They were gliding (滑行) around the rink so smoothly. When it was time to get the skating shoes, all the ones that fit me were already taken. The instructor had to give me a pair that didn’t fit well at all. They were too big and felt really uncomfortable on my feet. My father and the instructor could see that I was a bit down. They kept telling me not to worry and that everyone starts from the beginning. With their encouragement, I decided to give it a try. But it was really hard. Every time I tried to skate, I would fall down. It was so embarrassing. However, the instructor was really nice. He would hold my hand and walk with me around the rink, teaching me the basic steps and how to balance. After that first class, when I returned home, I couldn’t stop thinking about skating. I kept wondering how I could improve and become an expert like those other students. 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。 The next day, my father bought me a new pair of skating shoes. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When the next class arrived, I walked into the rink with newfound pride. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 The next day, my father bought me a new pair of skating shoes. They were cool grey and black in color and fit my feet perfectly. For the entire week, I dedicated myself to practicing. I would get up early in the morning and head to the empty rink near our house. I started with the basic steps that the instructor had shown me, slowly building up my confidence and balance. As days passed, I noticed a significant improvement in my skills. I was able to skate longer distances without losing my balance and even attempted some simple turns. When the next class arrived, I walked into the rink with newfound pride. I could see the other students glancing at my new shoes, and I felt a little boost in confidence. During the class, I was able to keep up with the group much better than before. I no longer felt like a clumsy beginner. The instructor noticed my progress and praised me, which made me even more motivated. I continued to practice hard. Over time, my skills continued to grow. Looking back, I realized that skating has not only taught me physical skills but also valuable life lessons about perseverance, determination, and the importance of having a support system. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者小时候报名学滑冰，由于买滑冰鞋的时候，作者的尺码都被买走了，于是教练只好给了作者一双根本不合身的鞋。它们太大了，穿在脚上真的很不舒服。后来，父亲买了新的滑冰鞋，作者穿上以后技术有了很大提高，得到了教练的肯定。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“第二天，爸爸给我买了一双新的溜冰鞋。”可知，第一段可描写作者有了新鞋，坚持练习滑冰的经过以及技术得到了提高。 ②由第二段首句内容“下一节课到了，我带着新的自豪感走进了溜冰场。”可知，第二段可描写教练肯定了作者的进步以及作者的感悟。 2.续写线索：买新鞋——练习滑冰——技术进步——教练注意到进步——表扬作者——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①适合：fit/suit ②投入：dedicate oneself to/devote to ③尝试：attempt/try 情绪类 ①宝贵：valuable/precious ②受到鼓舞：motivated/encouraged 【点睛】[高分句型1] As days passed, I noticed a significant improvement in my skills.
