Metamorphosis of the Suriname is one of the most fascinating books in natural history. It included some 60 richly coloured piates illustrating the different stages of development that she had observed in Suriname’s insects. Metamorphosis of the Suriname is a work of art and scientific scholarship. Merian recorded the local names of plants and insects she studied. In contrast to other European naturalists, she credited local people with helping her discover the colony’s wildlife, although didn’t name individuals. Born in 1647 in Frankfurt, Germany, Merian learned to paint in her artist father’s workshop, and became fascinated by silkworms, moths and butterflies. At that time, insects were believed to spring forth magically from mud, waste and plant matter in a process known as “spontaneous generation”. While Merian was not the first to show the transformation from egg to adult insect, her artistic talents helped to bring this message to a wider audience. The pioneering work of Merian was celebrated for its scientific accuracy and for bringing a new standard of precision to scientific illustration. In 1691, Merian moved to Amsterdam and opened her own studio. She worked as an independent artist and prepared specimens for a growing market of collectors. In Amsterdam, Merian had access to some of the finest natural history collections in the world. As she associated with famous scholars, physicians and botanists, ideas for her own voyage of discovery began to take shape. At 52, she embarked on (开始) a self-funded voyage to Suriname, driven by curiosity about the lives of insects. Her image would be dismissed as a fantasy. In the 18th century, people responded: “that’ s what you get when you send a woman to tropical places. She probably made that up”. But scientists later confirmed her findings. The spider plate was a very good example of how Merian worked. She was a really good observer. 1. What do we know about Metamorphosis of the Suriname? A. It won a book award for art. B. It listed the names of local helpers. C. It recorded Merian’s transatlantic voyage. D. It was based on Merian’s own observations. 2. What was the significance of Merian’s work? A. It had extremely high artistic value. B. It was the first natural history book. C. It shaped our understanding of insects. D. It introduced a creative research theory. 3 What inspired Merian’s idea of a personal journey to Suriname? A. Her encounter with noted scientists. B. Her ambition to expand her business. C. Her dream to travel around the world. D. Her curiosity about the lives of insects. B About once a week, a veterinarian (兽医) Kwane Stewart heads down to San Diego’s East Village to make his rounds, serving the dogs, cats and birds who are the treasured pets of downtown’s homeless community. Stewart’s parents were huge animal lovers. By age 6, he knew he wanted to be a vet. After graduation from a Colorado veterinary science program, he spent the next decade as a veterinarian. In 2008, he worked as head veterinarian at a country-run animal shelter in an area struck by the Great Recession. He saw pets abandoned and the work was extremely depressing. Four years into the shelter job, Stewart said he was burned out with guilt and ready to quit. Then one morning on his way to work, he saw a homeless man and a dog. He treated the dog’s skin condition and the animal was transformed. The owner was beyond grateful and said, “Thanks for not ignoring me and for treating my dog.” “That was the moment for me. I got back to saving animals and doing it on my own terms.” Stewart said. A few weeks later he set up a pop-up veterinary clinic at a soup kitchen, and when clients there suggested he take his services further, his new job as “Street Vet” began. In addition to treating common diseases, Stewart often provides vaccinations (接种疫苗) and general wellness checks. He also promotes “fear-free” pet care. Many of the people Stewart serves are not just grateful for the help but also form a deep bond with him, seeing him as someone who not only treats their pets but also acknowledges their humanity. “I can dream a little bit that people from all over the world will want to emulate what I do. ”Stewart said. Right now, he is building a network of trusted volunteers, technicians with hospitals and clinics. “These are all people who just reached out and said, ‘I’m inspired by what you do. How do I do it?’” he said. 4. What do we know about Steward’s current job? A. He runs an animal shelter. B. He adopts abandoned pets. C. He works for a science program. D. He attends to homeless people's pets. 5. Why is Stewart’s shelter job mentioned? A. To explain his change of career focus. B. To illustrate his professional competence. C. To explore the future of the industry. D. To reflect the challenges of the profession, 6. What do many people think of Steward? A. He’s odd. B. He’s frank. C. He’s humble. D. He’s merciful. 7. What does the underlined word “emulate” in the last paragraph mean? A. Follow the example of. B. Show respect for. C. Put the blame on. D. Pay attention to. C A wave of startups say seaweed is a solution to climate change - able to absorb atmospheric carbon, provide raw materials for biofuels, and feed the world - no fertilizers (化肥), fresh water, or even land required. Running Tide, a Maine-based company, is working on a system that will eventually sink the buoys (浮标), attached with long locks of seaweed, to the deep ocean floor, where the carbon they contain will remain stored for 800 years or more. Running Tide was founded by Marty Odlin, an engineer and fourth-generation commercial fisherman. The Gulf of Maine is warming faster than nearly every other oceanic region, and Odlin has seen the changes firsthand. About 15 years ago, Odlin heard a talk from Klaus Lackner - the physicist who popularised the idea of removing carbon from the atmosphere. It clicked. “It was like, oh, this is right because there’s no way we ’ re going to get off fossil (化石的) fuels in the next 50 years, ” he recalls thinking. “We’ re going to have to pull it down.” Using seaweed to draw down carbon would be an elegant solution - if it works. Seaweed forests collectively cover an estimated two million square kilometers and absorb as much carbon as the Amazon rainforest. But much of that storage is short-lived. When the seaweed is harvested, eaten by animals, or washes ashore, its stored carbon is released back into the atmosphere. Running Tide’s model, in theory at least, would take that stored carbon and sink it to the ocean floor where it would remain for centuries, breaking down slowly. Some scientists are careful about rushing ahead before fundamental scientific, environmental, and regulatory questions are answered. “Climate change is intensifying, and people are panicking, ”says Kristen Davis, a professor of University of California Irvine, “but the science is not there yet to actually confirm that it’s a good idea. ” 8. What can we learn about Running Tide's system? A. It removes carbon from seaweed. B. It turns seaweed into fertilizers. C. It sinks seaweed into the ocean floor. D. It stores seaweed as food sources. 9. What did Lackner's speech lead Odlin to do? A. Monitor changes in oceanic regions. B. Reduce commercial fishing industry. C. Set restrictions on the use of fossil fuels. D. Remove carbon from the atmosphere. 10. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. Steps of a carbon replacement method. B. The underlying logic of sinking seaweeds. C. Examples of massive seaweed forests. D. The carbon absorbing ability of seaweeds. 11. Why does the author quote Kristen Davis? A. To prove Odlin's opinion. B. To emphasise the climate crisis. C. To advocate scientists' cooperation. D. To present the issue objectively. D Socrates declared that the unexamined life wasn’t worth living for a human being, implying that we should attempt to know ourselves, to think through our actions, choices, prejudices, and attitudes. But when it comes to thinking about our own happiness and what makes our lives go well, it really does seem that this reflective attitude can ruin our chances of finding what we seek. Perhaps it’s not surprising that we are better designed for engaging in other activities than reflecting on how best to achieve our own happiness and well-being. Doing things that enhance our growth in physical, social and intellectual areas tends to bring the reward of feeling good, and so stimulates us further to pursue those activities. Sitting around reflecting on what will make us happy is a lot less efficient than chasing the things that make us happy, and if we think too much, there is an opportunity cost — time that we could have spent in a worthwhile activity has gone while we were thinking deeply about the best way to develop. The philosopher David has written about the role of reflective thinking in sports. One of his observations is that while sportspeople need to think about the basic actions they are performing, it can be counterproductive to start thinking about the elements making up those actions. A footballer needs to think about kicking the ball low and hard to the left of the goalkeeper, but not to overthink the mechanics of the precise small movements of legs and feet that produce that outcome. If he or she does start this sort of thought process, it very often leads to a poorer shot. What’s needed is a kind of automatic response to the situation. Perhaps something similar is going on in our life. Those people who start detailed programs of self-development in various dimensions, focusing on diet, habits, exercise, mental activity, work output, and so on, are like the footballer thinking through the small muscle movements. Perhaps their well-meaning self-reflection on their own development and how they want to achieve it, is the very thing that will make a high level of development forever unobtainable for them. 12. What may cause an opportunity cost? A. Spending time on worthy activities. B. Joining in social meetings actively. C. Getting stuck in much self-reflection. D. Doing physical exercises efficiently. 13. Why does the author mention David’s observations? A. To praise a wise philosopher. B. To teach readers football skills. C. To cite a case of overthinking. D. To argue for reflective thinking. 14 What does the author suggest readers do to achieve their goals? A. Make a comprehensive plan. B. Adopt a direct approach. C. Think carefully before action. D. Attach importance to details. 15. What is a suitable title for this text? A. The Risk of Overthinking B. The Key to Well-being C. The Way to Think Reflectively D. The Method to Develop Yourself 第二节 共5小题；每小题2 5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 It’s no secret that artificial intelligence is changing the way we work. With more and more simpler tasks being automated, humans are left with more high-level cognitive work, such as idea generation, strategic planning, and creative writing. ____16____ The problem is that we still follow a mindset that resembles the era of assembly (组装) lines, which doesn’t foster or facilitate the type of work needed today. Leaders constantly measured productivity in terms of how many hours an employee spent at work or the number of abstract targets they reached. ____17____ This type of output doesn’t fit in the era of AI. Instead, we have to make a psychological switch, structuring each workday for quality instead of quantity. Start by kicking the old method of continuous work throughout the day. Research shows that continuous work impairs creative idea generation and high quality, complex cognitive work. ____18____ It’s recommended that using work sessions that are about 90 minutes long, attacking the hardest part of the task in the first 20 minutes and moving to the slower, easier work during the remaining time. ____19____ Therefore, managers should consider the principal area that a team or individual is working on rather than imposing the same work schedule across a team or an organization. Data suggests that it’s better to work on tasks that involve creativity, imagination, and problem solving during the first few hours of the day and again right before you go to sleep. ____20____ In between the focused work sessions, make time for a nap or for easy work that doesn’t require much creativity or focus. A. That’s because people tend to overwork. B. The time of day will also make a difference. C. As a result, quantity of work was prioritized. D. To excel in the new era, we’ll need to transform how we work. E. With every new technology comes fear and then new opportunity. F. Because of that it’s better to work in bursts, giving the mind a rest. G. The middle of the day is better for something calling for concentration. 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I used to be proud of my carefree, adventurous attitude.

They were divided into two teams: the Sunnysiders and the Shadysiders, with five boys on each team. Andy was on the Sunnysiders. They lost last year, so they were desperate to win this time. But Andy knew his short legs made it hard for him to skate fast. One day, Andy was greeted by a pleasant “Hello” as he was putting on his roller-skates. He looked up and saw his new neighbor, Francis. “Hello! ” he replied cheerfully, noticing his neighbor’s long legs. “Wanna skate with me? Look at your long legs! Just the right kind to make you a good skater.” “I’d love to. You know, I’m really good at roller skating and I used to help my team win.” Francis said, his tone now heavy with sadness. “But I lost my roller skates and my mom just cannot afford to buy me another pair.” Andy thought it was a shame for Francis. As a new comer, there were undoubtedly many moments when he must have felt lonely. Andy thought to himself, wondering what he could do for Francis. But he had to say goodbye in a hurry since the team were meeting in the open space on the corner to talk over some plans. When talking to the team captain, Andy suggested adding another boy to their team, Francis. But the captain said “No” as the team knew nothing about him. Besides, the Shadysiders wouldn’t let them take on an extra player. In the following days, Andy practiced very hard with his team. Then came the day before the race when he saw Francis on the sidewalk, watching them skate past, his eyes filled with a sense of loss. Somehow it upset Andy, and his desire to help his new neighbor resurfaced. Then he thought of a way that could not only help his team win, but help Francis fit in. 注意： (1) 续写词数应为150个左右； (2) 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 He rushed to Francis, excited to tell him his plan. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day, the race began as scheduled. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 华中师大一附中2024～2025学年度第二学期二月月度检测 高三年级英语试卷 时限：120分钟 满分：150分 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1．What does the man want from the woman?

At 52, she embarked on (开始) a self-funded voyage to Suriname, driven by curiosity about the lives of insects.(当她与著名学者、医生和植物学家交往时，她自己的发现之旅的想法开始成形。52岁时，出于对昆虫生活的好奇，她自费踏上了前往苏里南的旅程)”可知，Merian与著名科学家的邂逅激发了她去苏里南旅行的想法。故选A。 B About once a week, a veterinarian (兽医) Kwane Stewart heads down to San Diego’s East Village to make his rounds, serving the dogs, cats and birds who are the treasured pets of downtown’s homeless community. Stewart’s parents were huge animal lovers. By age 6, he knew he wanted to be a vet. After graduation from a Colorado veterinary science program, he spent the next decade as a veterinarian. In 2008, he worked as head veterinarian at a country-run animal shelter in an area struck by the Great Recession. He saw pets abandoned and the work was extremely depressing. Four years into the shelter job, Stewart said he was burned out with guilt and ready to quit. Then one morning on his way to work, he saw a homeless man and a dog. He treated the dog’s skin condition and the animal was transformed. The owner was beyond grateful and said, “Thanks for not ignoring me and for treating my dog.” “That was the moment for me. I got back to saving animals and doing it on my own terms.” Stewart said. A few weeks later he set up a pop-up veterinary clinic at a soup kitchen, and when clients there suggested he take his services further, his new job as “Street Vet” began. In addition to treating common diseases, Stewart often provides vaccinations (接种疫苗) and general wellness checks. He also promotes “fear-free” pet care. Many of the people Stewart serves are not just grateful for the help but also form a deep bond with him, seeing him as someone who not only treats their pets but also acknowledges their humanity. “I can dream a little bit that people from all over the world will want to emulate what I do. ”Stewart said. Right now he is building a network of trusted volunteers, technicians with hospitals and clinics. “These are all people who just reached out and said, ‘I’m inspired by what you do. How do I do it?’” he said. 4. What do we know about Steward’s current job? A. He runs an animal shelter. B. He adopts abandoned pets. C. He works for a science program. D. He attends to homeless people's pets. 5. Why is Stewart’s shelter job mentioned? A. To explain his change of career focus. B. To illustrate his professional competence. C. To explore the future of the industry. D. To reflect the challenges of the profession, 6. What do many people think of Steward? A. He’s odd. B. He’s frank. C. He’s humble. D. He’s merciful. 7. What does the underlined word “emulate” in the last paragraph mean? A. Follow the example of. B. Show respect for. C. Put the blame on. D. Pay attention to. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了斯图尔特在大学毕业后成为一名兽医，后来因为工作原因，他开始为流浪人群的宠物提供治疗，并获得了很大的反响。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“About once a week, a veterinarian Kwane Stewart heads down to San Diego’s East Village to make his rounds, serving the dogs, cats and birds who are the treasured pets of downtown's homeless community. (大约每周一次，兽医克瓦恩·斯图尔特前往圣地亚哥的东村巡视，为市中心无家可归者社区珍爱的宠物狗、猫和鸟提供服务。)”可知，斯图尔特目前的工作是照料无家可归者的宠物。故选D项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“He saw pets abandoned and the work was extremely depressing. Four years into the shelter job, Stewart said he was burned out with guilt and ready to quit.( 他看到宠物被遗弃，工作非常令人沮丧。在收容所工作了四年后，斯图尔特说他感到内疚，准备辞职。)”以及第三段“Then one morning on his way to work, he saw a homeless man and a dog. He treated the dog's skin condition and the animal was transformed. The owner was beyond grateful and said, “Thanks for not ignoring me and for treating my dog. ” “That was the moment for me. I got back to saving animals and doing it on my own terms. ” Stewart said.( 一天早上，在他上班的路上，他看到一个无家可归的人和一条狗。他治疗了狗的皮肤状况，这只动物被治疗了。主人非常感激地说：“谢谢你没有忽视我，还照顾我的狗。”“对我来说就是那个时刻。我重新开始拯救动物，并按照自己的方式去做。”斯图尔特说。)”和第四段中“A few weeks later he set up a pop-up veterinary clinic at a soup kitchen, and when clients there suggested he take his services further, his new job as “Street Vet” began.(几周后，他在一个施舍处开了一家临时兽医诊所，当那里的客户建议他进一步提供服务时，他的新工作“街头兽医”开始了。)”可推知，文章先讲述斯图尔特在动物收容所的工作经历，因看到宠物被遗弃而感到沮丧，几乎要辞职。之后遇到一位无家可归者和他的狗，给狗治疗后，斯图尔特决定以自己的方式拯救动物，开启了街头兽医的工作。所以提及收容所工作是为了解释他职业重心的转变。故选A项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Many of the people Stewart serves are not just grateful for the help but also form a deep bond with him, seeing him as someone who not only treats their pets but also acknowledges their humanity.( 斯图尔特服务的许多人不仅感激他的帮助，而且还与他建立了深厚的联系，认为他不仅善待他们的宠物，而且承认他们的人性。)”可推知，斯图尔特不仅治疗宠物还尊重无家可归者，可见人们认为他仁慈善良。故选D项。 【7题详解】 词义猜测题。根据最后一段中“Right now, he is building a network of trusted volunteers, technicians with hospitals and clinics. “These are all people who just reached out and said, ‘I’ m inspired by what you do. How do I do it?’” he said.( 现在，他正在建立一个由值得信赖的志愿者、医院和诊所的技术人员组成的网络。“这些人都愿意提供提援助，说，‘我被你所做的事情所鼓舞。我该怎么做呢？’”他说。)”可知，很多人受斯图尔特启发，询问如何做，说明他希望人们效仿他的做法。“emulate”意思是 “效仿，模仿”，和A选项Follow the example of“效仿”意思相近。 故选A项。 C A wave of startups say seaweed is a solution to climate change - able to absorb atmospheric carbon, provide raw materials for biofuels, and feed the world - no fertilizers (化肥), fresh water, or even land required. Running Tide, a Maine-based company, is working on a system that will eventually sink the buoys (浮标), attached with long locks of seaweed, to the deep ocean floor, where the carbon they contain will remain stored for 800 years or more. Running Tide was founded by Marty Odlin, an engineer and fourth-generation commercial fisherman. The Gulf of Maine is warming faster than nearly every other oceanic region, and Odlin has seen the changes firsthand. About 15 years ago, Odlin heard a talk from Klaus Lackner - the physicist who popularised the idea of removing carbon from the atmosphere. It clicked. “It was like, oh, this is right because there’s no way we ’ re going to get off fossil (化石的) fuels in the next 50 years, ” he recalls thinking. “We’ re going to have to pull it down.” Using seaweed to draw down carbon would be an elegant solution - if it works. Seaweed forests collectively cover an estimated two million square kilometers and absorb as much carbon as the Amazon rainforest. But much of that storage is short-lived. When the seaweed is harvested, eaten by animals, or washes ashore, its stored carbon is released back into the atmosphere. Running Tide’s model, in theory at least, would take that stored carbon and sink it to the ocean floor where it would remain for centuries, breaking down slowly. Some scientists are careful about rushing ahead before fundamental scientific, environmental, and regulatory questions are answered. “Climate change is intensifying, and people are panicking, ”says Kristen Davis, a professor of University of California Irvine, “but the science is not there yet to actually confirm that it’s a good idea. ” 8. What can we learn about Running Tide's system? A. It removes carbon from seaweed. B. It turns seaweed into fertilizers. C. It sinks seaweed into the ocean floor. D. It stores seaweed as food sources. 9. What did Lackner's speech lead Odlin to do? A. Monitor changes in oceanic regions. B. Reduce commercial fishing industry. C. Set restrictions on the use of fossil fuels. D. Remove carbon from the atmosphere. 10. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. Steps of a carbon replacement method. B. The underlying logic of sinking seaweeds. C. Examples of massive seaweed forests. D. The carbon absorbing ability of seaweeds. 11. Why does the author quote Kristen Davis? A. To prove Odlin's opinion. B. To emphasise the climate crisis. C. To advocate scientists' cooperation. D. To present the issue objectively. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了利用海藻对抗气候变化的新兴创业项目和其背后的科学原理、挑战及专家观点。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的“Running Tide, a Maine-based company, is working on a system that will eventually sink the buoys (浮标), attached with long locks of seaweed, to the deep ocean floor (总部位于缅因州的奔潮公司正在研究一种系统，该系统最终将这些附着着长串海藻的浮标沉入海底)”可知，该系统会将海草沉入海底。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“About 15 years ago, Odlin heard a talk from Klaus Lackner - the physicist who popularized the idea of removing carbon from the atmosphere. It clicked. ‘It was like, oh, this is right because there’s no way we’re going to get off fossil fuels in the next 50 years,’ he recalls thinking. ‘We’re going to have to pull it down.’ (大约15年前，Odlin听了物理学家Klaus Lackner的演讲，Lackner普及了从大气中去除碳的想法。Odlin听后觉得很有道理，认为在接下来的50年里，我们无法摆脱化石燃料，因此我们必须从大气中去除碳。)”可知，Lackner的演讲促使Odlin想要从大气中去除碳。故选D。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段内容“Using seaweed to draw down carbon would be an elegant solution - if it works. Seaweed forests collectively cover an estimated two million square kilometers and absorb as much carbon as the Amazon rainforest. But much of that storage is short-lived. When the seaweed is harvested, eaten by animals, or washes ashore, its stored carbon is released back into the atmosphere. Running Tide’s model, in theory at least, would take that stored carbon and sink it to the ocean floor where it would remain for centuries, breaking down slowly. (使用海藻来减少碳排放将是一个优雅的解决方案——如果它有效的话。海藻林总共覆盖了大约200万平方公里，吸收的碳与亚马逊雨林一样多。但是大部分的储存都是短暂的。当海藻被收割、被动物吃掉或被冲上岸时，其储存的碳被释放回大气中。至少在理论上，奔流大潮的模型会把储存的碳带到海底，在那里它们可以保存数百年，慢慢分解。)”可知，这段主要讲述了下沉海藻的基本逻辑，B选项“海藻下沉的潜在逻辑”可以概括本段的主要内容。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“Some scientists are careful about rushing ahead before fundamental scientific, environmental, and regulatory questions are answered. ‘Climate change is intensifying, and people are panicking,’ says Kristen Davis, a professor of University of California Irvine, ‘but the science is not there yet to actually confirm that it’s a good idea.’ (一些科学家对在基本的科学、环境和监管问题得到解答之前仓促行动持谨慎态度。加州大学欧文分校教授克里斯汀•戴维斯说，气候变化正在加剧，人们感到恐慌，但科学还没有真正证实这是个好想法。)”可知，克里斯汀•戴维斯指出一些基础科学、环境和监管问题未解决前就匆忙推进利用海草解决气候变化问题并不明智，因为科学依据还不足，所以作者引用她的话是为了从另一个角度客观地呈现这一问题，避免只强调利用海草解决问题的积极面。故选D。 D Socrates declared that the unexamined life wasn’t worth living for a human being, implying that we should attempt to know ourselves, to think through our actions, choices, prejudices, and attitudes. But when it comes to thinking about our own happiness and what makes our lives go well, it really does seem that this reflective attitude can ruin our chances of finding what we seek. Perhaps it’s not surprising that we are better designed for engaging in other activities than reflecting on how best to achieve our own happiness and well-being. Doing things that enhance our growth in physical, social and intellectual areas tends to bring the reward of feeling good, and so stimulates us further to pursue those activities. Sitting around reflecting on what will make us happy is a lot less efficient than chasing the things that make us happy, and if we think too much, there is an opportunity cost — time that we could have spent in a worthwhile activity has gone while we were thinking deeply about the best way to develop. The philosopher David has written about the role of reflective thinking in sports. One of his observations is that while sportspeople need to think about the basic actions they are performing, it can be counterproductive to start thinking about the elements making up those actions. A footballer needs to think about kicking the ball low and hard to the left of the goalkeeper, but not to overthink the mechanics of the precise small movements of legs and feet that produce that outcome. If he or she does start this sort of thought process, it very often leads to a poorer shot. What’s needed is a kind of automatic response to the situation. Perhaps something similar is going on in our life. Those people who start detailed programs of self-development in various dimensions, focusing on diet, habits, exercise, mental activity, work output, and so on, are like the footballer thinking through the small muscle movements. Perhaps their well-meaning self-reflection on their own development and how they want to achieve it, is the very thing that will make a high level of development forever unobtainable for them. 12. What may cause an opportunity cost? A. Spending time on worthy activities. B. Joining in social meetings actively. C. Getting stuck in much self-reflection. D. Doing physical exercises efficiently. 13. Why does the author mention David’s observations? A. To praise a wise philosopher. B. To teach readers football skills. C. To cite a case of overthinking. D. To argue for reflective thinking. 14. What does the author suggest readers do to achieve their goals? A. Make a comprehensive plan. B. Adopt a direct approach. C. Think carefully before action. D. Attach importance to details. 15. What is a suitable title for this text? A. The Risk of Overthinking B. The Key to Well-being C. The Way to Think Reflectively D. The Method to Develop Yourself 【答案】12. C 13. C 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了过度思考带来的种种弊端，告诫我们不要过度思考。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Sitting around reflecting on what will make us happy is a lot less efficient than chasing the things that make us happy, and if we think too much, there is an opportunity cost — time that we could have spent in a worthwhile activity has gone while we were thinking deeply about the best way to develop. (坐下来思考什么能让我们快乐比追求让我们快乐的事情效率低得多，如果我们想得太多，就会有机会成本——我们本可以花在有价值的活动上的时间，而我们却在深入思考最好的发展方式)”可知，困于过度的自我反思会导致机会成本，故选C。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“One of his observations is that while sportspeople need to think about the basic actions they are performing, it can be counterproductive to start thinking about the elements making up those actions. (他的一个观察是，虽然运动员需要思考他们正在执行的基本动作，但开始思考构成这些动作的元素可能会适得其反)”可推知，作者提到David的观察是为了举例说明过度思考的劣势。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段 “What’s needed is a kind of automatic response to the situation. (我们需要的是一种对情况的自动响应)”可知，作者建议读者采取一个直接的方法来达成目标。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段的“But when it comes to thinking about our own happiness and what makes our lives go well, it really does seem that this reflective attitude can ruin our chances of finding what we seek.(但是，当我们思考自己的幸福以及是什么让我们的生活变得美好时，这种反思的态度似乎真的会破坏我们找到我们所寻求的东西的机会)”以及全文内容可知，本文主要讲述了过度思考带来的种种弊端，告诫我们不要过度思考。由此可知，A项“过度思考的风险”适合作为文章的标题。故选A。 第二节 共5小题；每小题2 5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 It’s no secret that artificial intelligence is changing the way we work. With more and more simpler tasks being automated, humans are left with more high-level cognitive work, such as idea generation, strategic planning, and creative writing. ____16____ The problem is that we still follow a mindset that resembles the era of assembly (组装) lines, which doesn’t foster or facilitate the type of work needed today. Leaders constantly measured productivity in terms of how many hours an employee spent at work or the number of abstract targets they reached. ____17____ This type of output doesn’t fit in the era of AI. Instead, we have to make a psychological switch, structuring each workday for quality instead of quantity. Start by kicking the old method of continuous work throughout the day. Research shows that continuous work impairs creative idea generation and high quality, complex cognitive work. ____18____ It’s recommended that using work sessions that are about 90 minutes long, attacking the hardest part of the task in the first 20 minutes and moving to the slower, easier work during the remaining time. ____19____ Therefore, managers should consider the principal area that a team or individual is working on rather than imposing the same work schedule across a team or an organization. Data suggests that it’s better to work on tasks that involve creativity, imagination, and problem solving during the first few hours of the day and again right before you go to sleep. ____20____ In between the focused work sessions, make time for a nap or for easy work that doesn’t require much creativity or focus. A. That’s because people tend to overwork. B. The time of day will also make a difference. C. As a result, quantity of work was prioritized. D. To excel in the new era, we’ll need to transform how we work. E. With every new technology comes fear and then new opportunity. F. Because of that, it’s better to work in bursts, giving the mind a rest. G. The middle of the day is better for something calling for concentration. 【答案】16. D 17. C 18. F 19. B 20. G 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了如何改变我们的工作方式来应对人工智能的影响。 【16题详解】 根据上文“It’s no secret that artificial intelligence is changing the way we work. With more and more simpler tasks being automated, humans are left with more high-level cognitive work, such as idea generation, strategic planning, and creative writing.(人工智能正在改变我们的工作方式，这已经不是什么秘密。随着越来越多简单的任务被自动化，人类只能从事更高级的认知工作，比如创意产生、战略规划和创意写作)”可知，上文提到人工智能在改变我们的工作方式，随着越来越多简单的任务被自动化，推测本句应说明人类应该如何应对这种情况。故D选项“要在新时代脱颖而出，我们需要改变我们的工作方式”符合语境。故选D。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Leaders constantly measured productivity in terms of how many hours an employee spent at work or the number of abstract targets they reached.(领导者经常根据员工在工作中花费的时间或他们达到的抽象目标的数量来衡量生产力)”以及后文“This type of output doesn’t fit in the era of AI. Instead, we have to make a psychological switch, structuring each workday for quality instead of quantity. (这种类型的输出不适合人工智能时代。相反，我们必须进行心理上的转换，以质量而不是数量来安排每个工作日)”可知，上文提到了领导者通过花费的时间以及数量来衡量生产力，本句与上文构成因果关系，总结领导者优先考虑的工作数量。故C选项“因此，工作的数量被优先考虑”符合语境。故选C。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Start by kicking the old method of continuous work throughout the day. Research shows that continuous work impairs creative idea generation and high quality, complex cognitive work.(从摒弃整天连续工作的旧方法开始。研究表明，持续的工作损害了创造性想法的产生和高质量、复杂的认知工作)”以及后文“It’s recommended that using work sessions that are about 90 minutes long, attacking the hardest part of the task in the first 20 minutes and moving to the slower, easier work during the remaining time.(建议使用90分钟左右的工作时间，在前20分钟内解决任务中最难的部分，然后在剩下的时间里转向较慢、较容易的工作)”可知，本句与上文构成因果关系，指出应该集中精力工作，后文给出时间安排的建议。故F选项“正因为如此，最好是集中精力工作，让大脑得到休息”符合语境。故选F。 【19题详解】 根据后文“Therefore, managers should consider the principal area that a team or individual is working on rather than imposing the same work schedule across a team or an organization.

They were divided into two teams: the Sunnysiders and the Shadysiders, with five boys on each team. Andy was on the Sunnysiders. They lost last year, so they were desperate to win this time. But Andy knew his short legs made it hard for him to skate fast. One day, Andy was greeted by a pleasant “Hello” as he was putting on his roller-skates. He looked up and saw his new neighbor, Francis. “Hello! ” he replied cheerfully, noticing his neighbor’s long legs. “Wanna skate with me? Look at your long legs! Just the right kind to make you a good skater.” “I’d love to. You know, I’m really good at roller skating and I used to help my team win.” Francis said, his tone now heavy with sadness. “But I lost my roller skates and my mom just cannot afford to buy me another pair.” Andy thought it was a shame for Francis. As a new comer, there were undoubtedly many moments when he must have felt lonely. Andy thought to himself, wondering what he could do for Francis. But he had to say goodbye in a hurry since the team were meeting in the open space on the corner to talk over some plans. When talking to the team captain, Andy suggested adding another boy to their team, Francis. But the captain said “No” as the team knew nothing about him. Besides, the Shadysiders wouldn’t let them take on an extra player. In the following days, Andy practiced very hard with his team. Then came the day before the race when he saw Francis on the sidewalk, watching them skate past, his eyes filled with a sense of loss. Somehow it upset Andy, and his desire to help his new neighbor resurfaced. Then he thought of a way that could not only help his team win, but help Francis fit in. 注意： (1) 续写词数应为150个左右； (2) 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 He rushed to Francis, excited to tell him his plan. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day, the race began as scheduled. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】He rushed to Francis, excited to tell him his plan. “Francis, you can use my skates in the race tomorrow! ” Andy yelled, eyes shining with hope. Francis hesitated. Noticing that, Andy explained that having him on their team would not only boost their chances of winning but also help him make more friends. Eventually, Francis put on the roller-skates and skated around, his talent instantly impressing the captain who was nearby. Struck by Francis’ excellent skills, the captain agreed to include the new boy. At that moment, Andy felt a touch of emptiness for giving up his own chance, but a surge of excitement for the plan as well. The next day, the race began as scheduled. Francis, wearing Andy’s skates, stood at the starting line, looking determined, while Andy, from the sidelines, felt a mix of anticipation and nervousness. The race was intense, but Francis’ excellent skating skills helped the Sunnysiders finally win the race. Once the race was finished, Francis, now part of the team, skated over to Andy with the others. Together, they lifted Andy onto their shoulders, celebrating not just the victory but also the newfound friendships. Cheers filled the air, and Andy experienced a swell of pride and a profound sense of accomplishment for the success of his friend and the team. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了街区里的男孩们下周六要进行滑旱冰比赛。他们被分成两队：Sunnysiders 和 Shadysiders，每队有五个男孩。安迪是 Sunnysiders 乐队的成员。去年他们输了，所以这次他们渴望获胜。但安迪知道自己短腿让他很难滑得快，一天他看到了邻居弗朗西斯很有滑行天赋，于是让他代替自己参加比赛。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“他冲向弗朗西斯，兴奋地告诉他他的计划。”可知，第一段可描安迪让弗朗西斯代替自己去比赛，队长看到弗朗西斯的表现后同意他比赛。 ②由第二段首句内容“第二天，比赛如期开始。”可知，第二段可描写弗朗西斯表现很好，帮助团队赢得了比赛。 2.续写线索：安迪告诉弗朗西斯代替自己参加比赛——穿上溜冰鞋——滑行了一圈，给队长留下了深刻的印象——同意弗朗西斯代替安迪比赛——安迪感到紧张和期盼——弗朗西斯表现好，团队赢得比赛——欢呼 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①大喊：yell/shout ②增加：boost/enhance ③给人印象深刻：impress/make an impression on 情绪类 ①空虚：emptiness  /void ②兴奋：excitement/thrill 【点睛】[高分句型1] Andy yelled, eyes shining with hope.（运用了独立主格结构） [高分句型2] Noticing that, Andy explained that having him on their team would not only boost their chances of winning but also help him make more friends. （由现在分词作状语和that引导宾语从句） [高分句型3]Eventually, Francis put on the roller-skates and skated around, his talent instantly impressing the captain who was nearby. （who引导的限制性定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
