And it is wonderful-the kind of book that will make you smile, laugh, shake your head and cry.(野生动物园丁凯特·布拉德伯里的第二本回忆录充满了感情。这是一本很棒的书，它会让你微笑、大笑、摇头、哭泣)”可知，One Garden Against The World的特别之处在于它触动了读者的心。故选A。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据The Accidental Garden部分中“Profile Books £12.99 (Profile Books售价12.99英镑)”可知，《偶然的花园》这本书价格是£12.99。故选D。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一部分“Bradbury looks back on a year of record temperatures, and finds many tiny ways to make a difference for nature. (拉德伯里回顾了这一年创纪录的气温，发现了许多改变自然的微小方法)”；第二部分“Melissa Harrison calls it a “doing book” and invites us to take time out to reconnect with nature. (梅丽莎·哈里森称其为“行动之书”，并邀请我们抽出时间与大自然重新建立联系)”；第三部分“The Starling researches the life of one of Europe’s most common yet threatened birds, which, as Moss points out, is an invasive pest (入侵物种) in other parts of the world. (The Starling研究了一种欧洲最常见但也最受威胁的鸟类的生活，正如莫斯指出的那样，这种鸟类是世界其他地区的一种入侵害虫)”以及最后一部分“It was Richard Mabey who started Britain’s resurgence (复兴) of interest in writing about nature. His latest book states the development of his (country Norfolk Garden over the past 20 years, set in the writer’s own golden years.(正是理查德·梅比开启了英国人对自然写作兴趣的复兴。他的新书讲述了他的家乡诺福克花园在过去20年里的发展，故事发生在他自己的黄金年代)”可知，这四本书都讲述与自然有关的内容。由此推知，它们的共同点是都适合野生动植物爱好者。故选A。 B There is already much evidence that volunteering benefits adults’ physical and mental health. Now, scientists have found similar links to both physical and mental health in adolescents. A 2023 analysis found that among more than 50,000 adolescents in the National Survey of Children’s Health, young people who had participated in community service or had volunteered over the previous 12 months were more likely to be in good health and stayed calm and in control when faced with challenges, and the adolescents were less likely to be anxious. Admittedly, those findings are only correlations (相关性). “It could be that the children who were volunteering were already in great health,” says study co-leader Kevin Lanza. But because of an alarming rise in mental health issues among young people, he believes that the early findings are promising enough to dig into. A 2021 report warned that the percentage of young people suffering from constant sadness or hopelessness had increased by 40 percent over the previous decade. When looking for ways to address it, researchers point to the role of “contribution” - providing support or resources to others or helping to achieve a shared goal - as an important piece of social and emotional development for adolescents. Young people have a developmental need to connect and belong. “Part of the exploration of adolescence and young adulthood is figuring out where you can be needed and useful - arguably key aspects of our mental health,” says developmental psychologist Andrew Fuligni. Volunteering is one good way young people can contribute. The importance of mattering to others and to the larger world translates really well to the needs of adolescents to have a meaningful role to play in their community. However, there may be a potential disadvantage of volunteering. Scientists have found that young people’s mental health can suffer if they feel their contributions are thought lowly of because of their sex, racial or ethnic identity or they are forced to participate. Thus, adults can help by offering choices and by vetting (审查) volunteer opportunities to be sure that organizations are well run and equipped to offer a good experience. 4. What does Lanza think about the findings in 2023? A. They are valuable and worth further exploration. B. They discover teenagers face more mental health issues. C. They show volunteering increases adults’ overall well-being. D. They prove the willingness to volunteer determines children’s health. 5. How does “contribution” address adolescents’ mental problems? A. By curing them of the mental problems. B. By helping them gain praise and support. C. By enabling them to find a sense of purpose. D. By meeting the need of more volunteers now. 6. Who may suffer from volunteering according to the text? A. John, a disabled boy who did community service work. B. Taylor, a black girl who was praised for helping others. C. Tom, a kind child who helped in a school as a volunteer. D. Jessica, a high school student who hesitated to volunteer. 7. What is the main idea of the text? A. The importance of doing voluntary working. B. The approach to volunteering by contributing. C. The seriousness of adolescents’ mental health issues. D. The impact of volunteering on adolescents’ mental health. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了年轻人从事志愿服务与其心理健康之间的关系。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Admittedly, those findings are only correlations. “It could be that the children who were volunteering were already in great health,” says study co-leader Kevin Lanza. But because of an alarming rise in mental health issues among young people, he believes that the early findings are promising enough to dig into. (诚然，这些发现只是相关性。该研究的共同负责人凯文·兰扎说：“可能是那些参加志愿活动的孩子们已经非常健康了。”但由于年轻人中心理健康问题的惊人增长，他相信早期的发现是有希望深入研究的。)”可知，凯文·兰扎认为2023年的研究发现说明了参加志愿活动与青少年身体健康之间存在相关性，是有价值的，并且值得进一步研究。故选A项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“When looking for ways to address it, researchers point to the role of “contribution”- providing support or resources to others or helping to achieve a shared goal - as an important piece of social and emotional development for adolescents. Young people have a developmental need to connect and belong. (在寻找解决方法时，研究人员指出，“贡献”的作用——为他人提供支持或资源，或帮助实现共同的目标——是青少年社会和情感发展的重要组成部分。年轻人有联系和归属感的发展需求。)”及第五段“Volunteering is one good way young people can contribute. The importance of mattering to others and to the larger world translates really well to the needs of adolescents to have a meaningful role to play in their community. (志愿服务是年轻人可以做出贡献的一个好方法。对他人和更大的世界的重要性很好地转化为青少年在他们的社区中扮演有意义的角色的需求。)”可知，通过为他人做出贡献，即参与志愿服务，青少年找到了目标感和归属感，从而有助于他们的心理健康。故选C项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“However, there may be a potential disadvantage of volunteering. Scientists have found that young people’s mental health can suffer if they feel their contributions are thought lowly of because of their sex, racial or ethnic identity or they are forced to participate. (然而，志愿服务可能有一个潜在的缺点。科学家发现，如果年轻人觉得自己的贡献因为性别、种族或民族身份而被轻视，或者他们被迫参与，他们的心理健康就会受到影响。)”可知，被迫参与是影响年轻人参与志愿活动的一个因素，故在志愿服务上犹豫不决的高中生杰西卡可能会遭受志愿服务的痛苦。故选D项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“There is already much evidence that volunteering benefits adults’ physical and mental health. Now, scientists have found similar links to both physical and mental health in adolescents. (已经有很多证据表明，志愿服务有益于成年人的身心健康。现在，科学家们在青少年的身体和心理健康方面都发现了类似的联系。)”及第二段“A 2023 analysis found that among more than 50,000 adolescents in the National Survey of Children’s Health, young people who had participated in community service or had volunteered over the previous 12 months were more likely to be in good health and stayed calm and in control when faced with challenges, and the adolescents were less likely to be anxious. (2023年的一项分析发现，在全国儿童健康调查中，在5万多名青少年中，在过去的12个月里参加过社区服务或志愿服务的年轻人更有可能身体健康，在面对挑战时保持冷静和控制，青少年不太可能焦虑。)”并结合全文内容可知，文章主要介绍了志愿服务对青少年心理健康的影响。故选D项。 C Automation(自动化)is increasingly affecting many fields, causing debates like“Are Robots Coming for Your Job?” While many believe that creativity and artistic taste remain unique to human beings, advances in artificial intelligence(AI,人工智能)challenge this idea. For example, at Rutgers University's Art and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, AI has been developed to produce beautiful, original paintings. Similarly, Amper Music offers AI-driven music creation services. Users can choose the instruments, speed, and length of the piece, and the software produces an original piece that is also "performed"and "mixed"by AI. Amper's software is great at creating background music suitable for reality TV shows, online videos, and student films. It focuses on the market for ready-made music.These Al-created art and music are polished and attractive, but they raise important questions: What is the value of art when it can be produced in large quantities without human effort? Consider the Mona Lisa: its value comes partly from its scarcity — there is only one original. In contrast, Amper can create a new high-quality music piece every time you click, and Elgammal's AI painter can produce thousands of unique artworks rapidly. This situation creates a mixed world where art remains unique yet easily produced.It makes us wonder whether people should pay for such works and what their prices should be. This issue is real, not imaginary. Spotify recently attracted AI researcher Francois Pachet, who used to work at Sony, to develop tools for human composers(作曲家).However, there have been reports that Spotify's playlists included music from artists who don't actually exist, possibly allowing Spotify to avoid paying royalties (版税).While Spotify says the tracks were created by real people using fake(假的)names, there are still worries about whether AI could be used to produce free music,which could harm human musicians. As machines and technology start to replace many jobs, even creative fields like art and music are affected. This raises questions about the need for rules or groups to protect artists and whether society will continue to value human-made art more than machine-made creations. Ultimately, we must consider the effects of AI in art and music—who should get recognition when an AI-created piece wins awards like the Grammys? 8. What challenges the idea that creativity and artistic taste are unique to human beings? A. Robots doing physical tasks. B. AI making progress. C. Robots learning to debate. D. AI knowing painting. 9. What does the underlined word"scarcity"in paragraph 4 mean? A. Having high quality. B. Being extremely hard to get. C. Having natural beauty. D. Being impossible to copy 10. What does Francois Pachet do at Spotify? A. Creating playlists. B. Producing free music. C. Paying royalties. D. Creating tools to help musicians. 11. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A. Confidence of humans'artistic ability B. Ways to promote AI-created art. C. Concerns about using AI in creative fields. D. The need for AI with human feelings. 【答案】8. B 9. B 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇探讨自动化尤其是人工智能在艺术和音乐领域影响的说明文。文章指出随着人工智能的发展，其在艺术创作方面取得进展，这对人类独有的创造力和艺术品味观念构成挑战，并引发了关于艺术价值、版权以及人类与机器创作作品受重视程度等诸多问题的讨论。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“While many believe that creativity and artistic taste remain unique to human beings, advances in artificial intelligence(AI,人工智能)challenge this idea.(虽然许多人认为创造力和艺术品味仍然是人类独有的，但人工智能（AI）的进步挑战了这一观点)”可知，是人工智能的进步对 “创造力和艺术品味是人类独有的” 这一观点构成挑战。故选B项。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“Consider the Mona Lisa: its value comes partly from its scarcity —there is only one original.(以《蒙娜丽莎》为例：它的价值部分来自于它的scarcity—— 原作只有一幅)”可知，“原作只有一幅” ，可以推断出，这里 “scarcity” 指的是极其难以获得，因为数量极少。故选 B项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Spotify recently attracted AI researcher Francois Pachet, who used to work at Sony, to develop tools for human composers (作曲家).( Spotify 最近吸引了曾在索尼工作的人工智能研究员Francois Pachet，让他为人类作曲家开发工具)”可知，Francois Pachet 在 Spotify 的工作是为作曲家开发工具。故选D项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“As machines and technology start to replace many jobs, even creative fields like art and music are affected. This raises questions about the need for rules or groups to protect artists and whether society will continue to value human-made art more than machine-made creations. Ultimately, we must consider the effects of AI in art and music—who should get recognition when an AI-created piece wins awards like the Grammys?( 随着机器和技术开始取代众多工作岗位，就连艺术和音乐这类创造性领域也受到了影响。这引发了一系列问题，比如是否需要制定规则或成立组织来保护艺术家，以及社会是否会一如既往地更看重人类创作的艺术，而非机器创作的作品。归根结底，我们必须考虑人工智能在艺术和音乐领域所产生的影响 —— 当一件由人工智能创作的作品荣获格莱美奖这类奖项时，究竟该认可谁的成就)”可知，整段围绕着人工智能在创意领域（艺术和音乐）应用所引发的一系列担忧展开，如对艺术家的保护、人类与机器创作作品受重视程度以及奖项认可等问题。故选C项。 D It’s good to share, right? Growing up as kids we are told to share our toys and not to be selfish. We also live in an age when discussing our feelings is encouraged. But with new crazes becoming popular all the time, such as dance challenges and wearing a pillow (枕头) as a dress, the question is: when can sharing become oversharing on social media? Oversharing has become connected with social media, but isn’t unique to it. Imagine you head to a party and meet someone. Within five minutes they have given away very detailed information about their life. While some of us may try to escape these people, according to marriage expert Carolyn Cole, this form of oversharing could come from a strong desire to get close to someone. A painful developmental story lies behind the behaviour. People share too much because they have been too lonely. But they fail to understand the risks resulting from it. Dr Christopher Hand, a lecturer in cyberpsychology (网络心理学), says the more details people disclose, the less sympathy (同情) we express when things go wrong. This could be due to a belief that more negative experiences will be attracted if shared more. It seems that sadfishing, the idea of seeking sympathy by oversharing, is generally regarded as negative rather than the cry for help. However, Dr Hand’s research also seems to suggest that the more we post online, the more socially attractive we become on condition that the posts we share are positive. Even back in 2015, Gwendolyn Seidman PhD, said we should avoid complaining too much and being negative online. We should also avoid showing off, especially about our love lives. It makes sense— if your love lives are going ‘that well’, would you really have time to share a photo with text? So, how can you know if you are oversharing? Well, why not ask your friends in real life? They would be happy to tell you if your posts about your breakfast or your complaints about your lack of money really are too much. 12. Which of the following is a kind of oversharing? A. Disclosing personal details quickly at a party. B. Discussing our feelings online. C. Sharing our toys with kids unselfishly. D. Recording our feelings in the diary. 13. Why do people share too much according to Carolyn Cole? A. To satisfy their psychological needs. B. To overcome the sense of failure. C. To show their feeling of sympathy. D. To develop a painful story. 14. What do you know about sadfishing? A. It is an idea of sharing positive experiences. B. It is generally thought of as a cry for help. C. It is seen as a positive way to seek help. D. It is intended to attract sympathy. 15. What does the underlined sentence imply in Paragraph 4? A. People having good love lives are too busy to post online. B. Sharing photos and texts about love lives makes sense. C. People won’t have successful love if posting it online. D. Good love lives shouldn’t be shared on social media. 【答案】12. A 13. A 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章探讨了在社交媒体上过度分享的现象，指出过度分享可能源于心理需求，但会带来风险，同时提醒应该避免发布哪种内容的帖子。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Oversharing has become connected with social media, but isn’t unique to it. Imagine you head to a party and meet someone. Within five minutes they have given away very detailed information about their life. (过度分享已经与社交媒体联系在一起，但并不是社交媒体独有的现象。想象一下，你去参加一个聚会，遇到了一个人。在五分钟内，他们就透露了自己生活的非常详细的信息)”可知，在派对上快速透露个人详细信息是一种过度分享的行为。故选A项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“While some of us may try to escape these people, according to marriage expert Carolyn Cole, this form of oversharing could come from a strong desire to get close to someone. (根据婚姻专家Carolyn Cole的说法，虽然我们中的一些人可能会试图逃离这些人，但这种过度分享的形式可能来自想要接近某人的强烈愿望)”可知，Carolyn Cole认为人们过度分享可能是为了满足想要接近他人的心理需求。故选A项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“It seems that sadfishing, the idea of seeking sympathy by oversharing, is generally regarded as negative rather than the cry for help. (似乎卖惨，即通过过度分享来寻求同情的想法，通常被认为是消极的，而不是寻求帮助)”可知，卖惨是为了吸引同情。故选D项。 【15题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中“We should also avoid showing off, especially about our love lives. It makes sense— if your love lives are going ‘that well’, would you really have time to share a photo with text? (我们也应该避免炫耀，尤其是我们的爱情生活。这是有道理的——如果你们的爱情生活“那么顺利”，你们真的有时间用文字分享一张照片吗)”可推知，此处先提到应避免炫耀爱情生活，然后用反问的修辞手法暗示，那些拥有美好爱情生活的人太忙了，没有时间在网上发帖。故选A项。 E Whether you’re looking to lose a few pounds, spend more time at the gym or learn a language, turning bad habits into good ones is all about self-control. Some of us have more than others. And research shows that those with more self-control tend to be happier. But the problem is that we usually only get rewarded in the future. ____16____ Michael Inzlicht is a professor of psychology at the University of Toronto and a self-control researcher. He says that the ironic thing about self-control is that those who are really good at it don’t have to practice it. ____17____ When you love and desire something that tends to be better for you, like studying, working hard or exercising, for example, you don’t have to think about doing it. Inzlicht says that these types of individuals generally have what’s called “trait self-control” meaning it’s an aspect of their personality. When it comes to improving self-control, Inzlicht says it’s difficult to change the personality that you’re born with. ____18____ A wide body of research shows that you can improve self-control for a particular behavior you want to change or a habit you’d like to develop. For example, Inzlicht says that when we get paid to make life changes, we’re more likely to make them. Some gyms will charge you a certain amount of money for a year-long membership and then give you a few cents back every time you come. ____19____ ____20____ Part of failing at developing self-control is in getting frustrated at yourself for not changing overnight. If you’re building self-control in losing weight, for instance, don’t try switching to nothing but fruits and vegetables all at once because it’s too dramatic a change — not to mention unsustainable. A. However, this doesn’t mean you can do nothing about it. B. Another tip for success, says Inzlicht, is making gradual steps. C. Even a small amount of money can encourage people to work out. D. They can maintain the good habits all the time without much effort. E. Thus, we are constantly weighing whether to wait or to have it right now. F. Don’t be afraid of frustration, since it is necessary for your improvement. G. Actually, self-control improvement can bring about benefits to all individuals. 【答案】16. E 17. D 18. A 19. C 20. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了自控力强的人往往更快乐，虽然真正擅长自控的人无需刻意练习，而且人们难以改变天生性格，但依然有一些方法可以提升自控力，例如针对特定行为或习惯，用报酬加以激励，以及循序渐进。 【16题详解】 前文“And research shows that those with more self-control tend to be happier. But the problem is that we usually only get rewarded in the future. (研究表明，自控能力强的人往往更快乐。但问题是，我们通常只在未来得到奖励)”指出自控能力强可以带来快乐，但这种快乐在未来才能得到，因此E项“Thus, we are constantly weighing whether to wait or to have it right now. (因此，我们不断地权衡是等待还是现在就拥有它)”符合语境，表明我们会纠结于是自控以得到未来的快乐，还是不自控现在就获得快乐，是前文矛盾的结果，承接前文。故选E。 【17题详解】 前文“He says that the ironic thing about self-control is that those who are really good at it don’t have to practice it. (他说，具有讽刺意味的是，那些真正擅长自我控制的人并不需要练习自我控制)”指出擅长自控的人不需要练习自控，后文“When you love and desire something that tends to be better for you, like studying, working hard or exercising, for example, you don’t have to think about doing it. (当你喜欢并渴望一些对你更好的事情时，比如学习、努力工作或锻炼，你不必考虑去做)”用具体的例子说明这种自控可以自然发生，因此D项“They can maintain the good habits all the time without much effort. (他们可以毫不费力地一直保持好习惯)”符合语境，说明这样的人可以轻松保持好习惯，是对前文的解释，后文是对其例证，选项中的They指代前文的those who are really good at it。故选D。 18题详解】 前文“When it comes to improving self-control, Inzlicht says it’s difficult to change the personality that you’re born with. (说到提高自我控制能力，Inzlicht说，很难改变你与生俱来的性格)”指出提高自控力很困难，后文“A wide body of research shows that you can improve self-control for a particular behavior you want to change or a habit you’d like to develop. (大量的研究表明，你可以提高你想要改变的特定行为或你想要养成的习惯的自制力)”说明特定行为或习惯的自控力是可以提升的，因此A项“However, this doesn’t mean you can do nothing about it. (然而，这并不意味着你对此无能为力)”符合语境，指出提高自控力也是有办法的，和前文构成转折，引出后文，其中的this指代前一句话。故选A。 【19题详解】 前文“For example, Inzlicht says that when we get paid to make life changes, we’re more likely to make them. Some gyms will charge you a certain amount of money for a year-long membership and then give you a few cents back every time you come. (例如，Inzlicht说，当我们因为改变生活而得到报酬时，我们更有可能做出改变。有些健身房会向你收取一定数额的一年会员费，然后每次你来的时候都会返还你几美分)”指出报酬可以推动人做出改变，并举出健身房返还一小部分费用的例子，因此C项“Even a small amount of money can encourage people to work out. (即使是少量的钱也能鼓励人们去锻炼)”符合语境，说明被返还的费用可以让人坚持锻炼，承接前文。故选C。 【20题详解】 后文“Part of failing at developing self-control is in getting frustrated at yourself for not changing overnight. If you’re building self-control in losing weight, for instance, don’t try switching to nothing but fruits and vegetables all at once because it’s too dramatic a change — not to mention unsustainable. (发展自我控制失败的部分原因是对自己没有在一夜之间改变而感到沮丧。例如，如果你在减肥过程中建立自我控制，不要试图一下子只吃水果和蔬菜，因为这是一个太大的变化——更不用说不可持续了)”指出培养自控不是一蹴而就的事情，并以减肥中饮食的改变为例加以说明，因此B项“Another tip for success, says Inzlicht, is making gradual steps. (Inzlicht说，成功的另一个秘诀是循序渐进)”符合语境，点明培养自控需要循序渐进，契合后文内容，适合作为段落主旨句。故选B。 二、完形填空（1*15=15分） Nowadays, media and information coming so quickly on the Internet, kids are used to getting things in quick ways, but refuse to read a book.

Now a new study says that spending too much time in a chair and not having enough sleep should join a short list of behaviors ____37____ (know) to increase your risk of premature death. Sitting for a long time and lack of sleep were damaging in their own way, but when combined with more traditional risk factors, ____38____had a multiplier effect that made an early death far more likely. The findings, published in the journal PLOS Medicine, make clear that “some risk behaviors tend to come together and ____39____the joint risk could be much higher than the sum of the individual risks”. For instance, smoking was the most dangerous risk factor among the six studied. The small number of people for ____40____smoking was their only bad habit were 90 percent more likely to die during the course of the study than were people with practiced clean living in every aspect. People who reported high alcohol consumption as their only risk factor did not seem ____41____ (put) their lives in danger. But for those who combined heavy drinking with smoking, the risk of premature death was doubled. And when lack of sleep ____42____(add) to the mix, the likelihood of an early death was nearly five times ____43____ (great) even though lack of sleep by itself had only a light effect____44____ death. Considering factors such as age, gender, education and other factors, the researchers saw ____45____ clear pattern. It was a person’s bad lifestyle that contributed to his or her risk of premature death. 【答案】36. shorten 37. known 38. they 39. that 40. whom 41. to put##to be putting##to have put 42. was added 43. greater 44. on 45. a 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了懒惰和缺乏睡眠会缩短你的寿命，尤其是当两者结合在一起时，风险可能远远高于单个风险的总和。 【36题详解】 考查动词。句意：你已经知道吸烟有害健康，酗酒可能会缩短你的寿命。情态动词may后接动词原形，表示“缩短”用动词shorten。故填shorten。 【37题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：现在一项新的研究表明，长时间坐在椅子上和睡眠不足会增加过早死亡的风险。分析句子成分可知，宾语从句的谓语动词为“should join”，所以提示词应为非谓语动词，与逻辑主语a short list of behaviors为动宾关系，应用过去分词。故填known。 【38题详解】 考查代词。句意：久坐和睡眠不足本身就有危害，但当它们与更传统的风险因素结合在一起时，会产生乘数效应，使早死的可能性大大增加。分析句子成分可知，but后的分句中，主句缺少主语，结合句意应为代词they指代前文提到的“Sitting for a long time”和“lack of sleep”。故填they。 【39题详解】 考查宾语从句。句意：发表在《公共科学图书馆·医学》(PLOS Medicine)杂志上的研究结果明确指出，“一些风险行为往往会结合在一起，且联合风险可能远远高于单个风险的总和”。分析句子成分可知，动词短语make clear后接了两个宾语从句，第二个宾语从句成分和意义都完整，所以用只起连接作用的that，且不可以省略。故填that。 【40题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：在研究过程中，一小部分吸烟是唯一坏习惯的人死亡的可能性比在各方面都有实际清洁生活的人高90%。分析句子成分可知，“for_______smoking was their only bad habit”应为定语从句，修饰先行词people，关系词替代先行词在定语从句中充当介词“for”的宾语，应用关系代词whom。故填whom。 【41题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：那些将大量饮酒作为唯一危险因素的人似乎并没有将自己的生命置于危险之中。固定搭配seem to do sth. “似乎做某事”。因“大量饮酒”动作与“生命置于危险之中”动作先后情况不明显，所以可以用to do；也可以用to be doing表示前后动作几乎同时进行；也可用to have done表示先后动作顺序。故填to put/to be putting/to have put。 【42题详解】 考查时态和语态。句意：如果再加上睡眠不足，早死的可能性会增加近5倍，尽管睡眠不足本身对死亡的影响很小。分析句子成分可知，空处为时间状语从句的谓语动词，根据主句谓语动词was判断为一般过去时，且主语lack of sleep和add之间是被动关系，应用一般过去时的被动语态；主语不可数，助动词用was。故填was added。 【43题详解】 考查形容词比较级。句意同上。结合上下文语境可知，此处是把睡眠不足导致早死风险和一般情况作对比，应用great的比较级greater作表语。故填greater。 【44题详解】 考查介词。句意同7小题。结合句意表达“对……有影响”应用have an effect on。故填on。 【45题详解】 考查冠词。句意：句意：考虑到年龄、性别、教育程度等因素，研究人员发现了一个清晰的模式。pattern“模式”是可数名词单数形式，此处是泛指，应添加不定冠词，且clear的发音是辅音音素开头，应用a。故填a。 四、选词填空（1·10=10分) 选择并使用方框内所提供的短语的正确形式完成句子。 result in make a difference to, can’t wait to, shoot up, make the most of, lie in, make advance, be responsible for, calm down, back down 46.

But lately there had been lots of troubles in my life. My daughter Gabby had a disease, making it difficult for me to focus on my job. One day, I went for a walk on the beach. It was something I’d been too busy to do before. As I slowly walked, looking at the blue sky and sea, my mood gradually lightened. On my way home, I came across an art supply store. Attracted by the beautiful decorations, I walked inside. I hadn’t painted since I was a child, and I had already forgotten what most of the tools were for. Therefore, I decided to leave after a while. Just then, a young man approached and asked whether I needed any help. I wanted to say no and get out of the store. But soon I changed my mind and replied, “I would like to paint, but I don’t know what to buy.” “My dad is an artist. I can show you everything you need,” the young man offered. He carefully picked out a set of paints and recommended brushes and other necessary things. “Have fun!” he added before I left. “I expect you to show me a painting the next time you come in here.” I smiled weakly. Not likely, I thought. Yet that night, after Gabby went to sleep, I set up the easel (画架) and the tools in the dining room and decided to give it a try. What should I paint? I closed my eyes. Suddenly, I could imagine the blueness of the sky connected with the deeper, darker shades (色调) of the sea. I took a deep breath and began to draw. I kept painting for the next few weeks. Whenever I felt stressed, I painted, and then I could forget all my troubles. I used my phone to take pictures of my paintings, so I could carry that feeling of peace with me. One afternoon, when I ran out of canvases (画布), I returned to the store to get some more. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The young man who had helped me before recognized me. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As my interest in painting grew, my daughter began to ask if she could join me. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: The young man who had helped me before recognized me. “You’re back! ” he greeted me warmly and asked about my painting progress. I hesitantly showed him some photos of my work on my phone. He admired them carefully and said, “These drawings are amazing! You’ve really captured something special.” Encouraged by his words, I shared how painting had become my comfort during difficult times. He listened patiently, offering tips on new techniques and materials I could try. As I left the store with fresh supplies, I felt a sense of relaxation and confidence. Paragraph 2: As my interest in painting grew, my daughter began to ask if she could join me. Her eager request filled me with joy and hope. I gladly agreed and set up a small easel for her beside mine. Painting together became our special family time, full of creativity and laughter. As we mixed colors and created images, I cheerfully noticed a positive change in Gabby’s mood. She seemed more energetic, even on days when her treatments were tough. I gradually realized that although life hadn’t gone according to my original plans, it had also brought some pleasant surprises. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在生活中遭遇困境（女儿生病，工作难以集中）时，偶然间走进一家艺术用品店，并在一位年轻店员的鼓励下开始尝试绘画的过程。通过绘画，作者找到了释放压力、忘却烦恼的方式，并逐渐体会到了其中的乐趣和宁静。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“之前帮助过我的那个年轻人认出了我。”可知，第一段可描写年轻人询问作者绘画进展并给出建议，作者分享绘画给自己带来的影响。 ②由第二段首句内容“随着我对绘画的兴趣日益增长，我的女儿开始问我她能不能和我一起画。”可知，第二段可描写作者和女儿一起作画的经过以及作者的感悟。 2.续写线索：询问绘画进展——分享绘画带来的影响——给出建议——感到放松和自信——和女儿一起作画——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①展示：show/display ②欣赏：admire/appreciate ③同意：agree/approve ④意识到：realize/be aware of 情绪类 ①令人惊讶的：amazing/astonishing ②高兴地：gladly/delightedly 【点睛】[高分句型1] Encouraged by his words, I shared how painting had become my comfort during difficult times.（运用了过去分词作状语，how引导宾语从句） [高分句型2] As we mixed colors and created images, I cheerfully noticed a positive change in Gabby’s mood.（运用了as引导时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024-2025学年度泰州市兴化市期末质量监测 高一英语试题 （本卷满分150分 考试时间120分钟） 一.阅读理解（2.5*20=50分） A Great books that make perfect New Year gifts One Garden Against The World By Kate Bradbury Bloomsbury. £17.09 Wildlife gardener KateBradbury’s second memoir (回忆录) is full of feelings.

Now, scientists have found similar links to both physical and mental health in adolescents. A 2023 analysis found that among more than 50,000 adolescents in the National Survey of Children’s Health, young people who had participated in community service or had volunteered over the previous 12 months were more likely to be in good health and stayed calm and in control when faced with challenges, and the adolescents were less likely to be anxious. Admittedly, those findings are only correlations (相关性). “It could be that the children who were volunteering were already in great health,” says study co-leader Kevin Lanza. But because of an alarming rise in mental health issues among young people, he believes that the early findings are promising enough to dig into. A 2021 report warned that the percentage of young people suffering from constant sadness or hopelessness had increased by 40 percent over the previous decade. When looking for ways to address it, researchers point to the role of “contribution” - providing support or resources to others or helping to achieve a shared goal - as an important piece of social and emotional development for adolescents. Young people have a developmental need to connect and belong. “Part of the exploration of adolescence and young adulthood is figuring out where you can be needed and useful - arguably key aspects of our mental health,” says developmental psychologist Andrew Fuligni. Volunteering is one good way young people can contribute. The importance of mattering to others and to the larger world translates really well to the needs of adolescents to have a meaningful role to play in their community. However, there may be a potential disadvantage of volunteering. Scientists have found that young people’s mental health can suffer if they feel their contributions are thought lowly of because of their sex, racial or ethnic identity or they are forced to participate. Thus, adults can help by offering choices and by vetting (审查) volunteer opportunities to be sure that organizations are well run and equipped to offer a good experience. 4. What does Lanza think about the findings in 2023? A. They are valuable and worth further exploration. B. They discover teenagers face more mental health issues. C. They show volunteering increases adults’ overall well-being. D. They prove the willingness to volunteer determines children’s health. 5. How does “contribution” address adolescents’ mental problems? A By curing them of the mental problems. B. By helping them gain praise and support. C. By enabling them to find a sense of purpose. D. By meeting the need of more volunteers now. 6. Who may suffer from volunteering according to the text? A. John, a disabled boy who did community service work. B. Taylor, a black girl who was praised for helping others. C. Tom, a kind child who helped in a school as a volunteer. D. Jessica, a high school student who hesitated to volunteer. 7. What is the main idea of the text? A. The importance of doing voluntary working. B. The approach to volunteering by contributing. C. The seriousness of adolescents’ mental health issues. D. The impact of volunteering on adolescents’ mental health. C Automation(自动化)is increasingly affecting many fields, causing debates like“Are Robots Coming for Your Job?” While many believe that creativity and artistic taste remain unique to human beings, advances in artificial intelligence(AI,人工智能)challenge this idea. For example, at Rutgers University's Art and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, AI has been developed to produce beautiful, original paintings. Similarly, Amper Music offers AI-driven music creation services. Users can choose the instruments, speed, and length of the piece, and the software produces an original piece that is also "performed"and "mixed"by AI. Amper's software is great at creating background music suitable for reality TV shows, online videos, and student films. It focuses on the market for ready-made music.These Al-created art and music are polished and attractive, but they raise important questions: What is the value of art when it can be produced in large quantities without human effort? Consider the Mona Lisa: its value comes partly from its scarcity — there is only one original. In contrast, Amper can create a new high-quality music piece every time you click, and Elgammal's AI painter can produce thousands of unique artworks rapidly. This situation creates a mixed world where art remains unique yet easily produced.It makes us wonder whether people should pay for such works and what their prices should be. This issue is real, not imaginary. Spotify recently attracted AI researcher Francois Pachet, who used to work at Sony, to develop tools for human composers(作曲家).However, there have been reports that Spotify's playlists included music from artists who don't actually exist, possibly allowing Spotify to avoid paying royalties (版税).While Spotify says the tracks were created by real people using fake(假的)names, there are still worries about whether AI could be used to produce free music,which could harm human musicians. As machines and technology start to replace many jobs, even creative fields like art and music are affected. This raises questions about the need for rules or groups to protect artists and whether society will continue to value human-made art more than machine-made creations. Ultimately, we must consider the effects of AI in art and music—who should get recognition when an AI-created piece wins awards like the Grammys? 8. What challenges the idea that creativity and artistic taste are unique to human beings? A. Robots doing physical tasks. B. AI making progress. C. Robots learning to debate. D. AI knowing painting. 9.

Growing up as kids we are told to share our toys and not to be selfish. We also live in an age when discussing our feelings is encouraged. But with new crazes becoming popular all the time, such as dance challenges and wearing a pillow (枕头) as a dress, the question is: when can sharing become oversharing on social media? Oversharing has become connected with social media, but isn’t unique to it. Imagine you head to a party and meet someone. Within five minutes they have given away very detailed information about their life. While some of us may try to escape these people, according to marriage expert Carolyn Cole, this form of oversharing could come from a strong desire to get close to someone. A painful developmental story lies behind the behaviour. People share too much because they have been too lonely. But they fail to understand the risks resulting from it. Dr Christopher Hand, a lecturer in cyberpsychology (网络心理学), says the more details people disclose, the less sympathy (同情) we express when things go wrong. This could be due to a belief that more negative experiences will be attracted if shared more. It seems that sadfishing, the idea of seeking sympathy by oversharing, is generally regarded as negative rather than the cry for help. However, Dr Hand’s research also seems to suggest that the more we post online, the more socially attractive we become on condition that the posts we share are positive. Even back in 2015, Gwendolyn Seidman PhD, said we should avoid complaining too much and being negative online. We should also avoid showing off, especially about our love lives. It makes sense— if your love lives are going ‘that well’, would you really have time to share a photo with text? So, how can you know if you are oversharing? Well, why not ask your friends in real life? They would be happy to tell you if your posts about your breakfast or your complaints about your lack of money really are too much. 12. Which of the following is a kind of oversharing? A. Disclosing personal details quickly at a party. B. Discussing our feelings online. C. Sharing our toys with kids unselfishly. D. Recording our feelings in the diary. 13. Why do people share too much according to Carolyn Cole? A. To satisfy their psychological needs. B. To overcome the sense of failure. C. To show their feeling of sympathy. D. To develop a painful story. 14. What do you know about sadfishing? A. It is an idea of sharing positive experiences. B. It is generally thought of as a cry for help. C. It is seen as a positive way to seek help. D. It is intended to attract sympathy. 15. What does the underlined sentence imply in Paragraph 4? A. People having good love lives are too busy to post online. B. Sharing photos and texts about love lives makes sense. C. People won’t have successful love if posting it online. D. Good love lives shouldn’t be shared on social media. E Whether you’re looking to lose a few pounds, spend more time at the gym or learn a language, turning bad habits into good ones is all about self-control. Some of us have more than others. And research shows that those with more self-control tend to be happier. But the problem is that we usually only get rewarded in the future. ____16____ Michael Inzlicht is a professor of psychology at the University of Toronto and a self-control researcher. He says that the ironic thing about self-control is that those who are really good at it don’t have to practice it. ____17____ When you love and desire something that tends to be better for you, like studying, working hard or exercising, for example, you don’t have to think about doing it. Inzlicht says that these types of individuals generally have what’s called “trait self-control” meaning it’s an aspect of their personality. When it comes to improving self-control, Inzlicht says it’s difficult to change the personality that you’re born with. ____18____ A wide body of research shows that you can improve self-control for a particular behavior you want to change or a habit you’d like to develop. For example, Inzlicht says that when we get paid to make life changes, we’re more likely to make them. Some gyms will charge you a certain amount of money for a year-long membership and then give you a few cents back every time you come. ____19____ ____20____ Part of failing at developing self-control is in getting frustrated at yourself for not changing overnight. If you’re building self-control in losing weight, for instance, don’t try switching to nothing but fruits and vegetables all at once because it’s too dramatic a change — not to mention unsustainable. A. However, this doesn’t mean you can do nothing about it. B. Another tip for success, says Inzlicht, is making gradual steps. C. Even a small amount of money can encourage people to work out. D. They can maintain the good habits all the time without much effort. E. Thus, we are constantly weighing whether to wait or to have it right now. F. Don’t be afraid of frustration, since it is necessary for your improvement. G. Actually, self-control improvement can bring about benefits to all individuals. 二、完形填空（1*15=15分） Nowadays, media and information coming so quickly on the Internet, kids are used to getting things in quick ways, but refuse to read a book.

But lately there had been lots of troubles in my life. My daughter Gabby had a disease, making it difficult for me to focus on my job. One day, I went for a walk on the beach. It was something I’d been too busy to do before. As I slowly walked, looking at the blue sky and sea, my mood gradually lightened. On my way home, I came across an art supply store. Attracted by the beautiful decorations, I walked inside. I hadn’t painted since I was a child, and I had already forgotten what most of the tools were for. Therefore, I decided to leave after a while. Just then, a young man approached and asked whether I needed any help. I wanted to say no and get out of the store. But soon I changed my mind and replied, “I would like to paint, but I don’t know what to buy.” “My dad is an artist. I can show you everything you need,” the young man offered. He carefully picked out a set of paints and recommended brushes and other necessary things. “Have fun!” he added before I left. “I expect you to show me a painting the next time you come in here.” I smiled weakly. Not likely, I thought. Yet that night, after Gabby went to sleep, I set up the easel (画架) and the tools in the dining room and decided to give it a try. What should I paint? I closed my eyes. Suddenly, I could imagine the blueness of the sky connected with the deeper, darker shades (色调) of the sea. I took a deep breath and began to draw. I kept painting for the next few weeks. Whenever I felt stressed, I painted, and then I could forget all my troubles. I used my phone to take pictures of my paintings, so I could carry that feeling of peace with me. One afternoon, when I ran out of canvases (画布), I returned to the store to get some more. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The young man who had helped me before recognized me. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As my interest in painting grew, my daughter began to ask if she could join me. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
