And much like their phones, Samsung has a wide variety in their products, with the very affordable Tab A7/A8, to the high-end flagship S8 ultra. So if you’re team Android as opposed to Apple, Samsung is probably the way to go.Best tablet: Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra Microsoft Microsoft has traditionally been a major player in computing so it’s no shock that they also make well-designed and more than capable tablets — the Microsoft Surface. With the idea of the Surface tablets being a 2-in-1 device, a tablet that can functionally run like a laptop, running windows, and featuring basically the same processors that you’d find in a laptop. And with an additional keyboard, great displays and long battery life, the Surface tablets make for great machines for work or play respectively.Best tablet: Microsoft Surface Pro 8 Amazon Amazon does indeed make tablets and, they’re capable too. Amazon’s Fire HD tablets are firmly in the budget tablet range but that doesn’t make them less capable. In terms of size, they range from seven up to ten inches and even include a kids’ tablet for the young ones. So if you prefer tablets over ten inches, you may be wanting to look elsewhere. But all in all, they’re a good shout for a first-time tablet buyer that isn’t looking to spend a few hundred pounds on a device, but still wants to watch videos or browse the web on the go. Best tablet: Amazon Fire HD 10 plus * This post contains affiliate links, so we may earn a small fee when you make a purchase through links on our site at no additional cost to you. 21．To satisfy both work and entertainment purposes, which tablet would a consumer most probably choose? A．iPad Pro-12.9’’. B．Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra. C．Microsoft Surface Pro 8. D．Amazon Fire HH plus. 22．Which tablet is the most suitable for a family on a tight budget who prefer small sizes? A．iPad Pro-12.9’’. B．Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra. C．Microsoft Surface Pro 8. D．Amazon Fire HD 10 plus. 23．What is the purpose of this piece of writing? A．To rank tablet computer brands according to producers. B．To encourage readers to purchase tablets via their website. C．To inform readers about the latest models of tablets. D．To carry out a product investigation. There will be days when you do not have much to do. Perhaps because you are waiting for someone else in a different department or a different company to respond to a request. As the clock ticks past 5 pm, there may be no purpose in staying at your desk. But you can see your boss hard at work and, more importantly, they can see you. So you make an effort to look busy. Some of this may be a self-perpetuating (自我延续的) cycle. If bosses do not like to go home before their workers, and workers fear leaving before their bosses, everyone is trapped. Staff may feel that they will not get a pay rise, or a promotion, if they are not seen to be putting in maximum effort. Managers, who are often no good at judging employees’ performance, use time in the office as an alternative. The consequence is often wasted effort. Rather than work hard, you work hard to make bosses think that you are. Leaving a jacket on your office chair, walking around purposefully with a notebook and sending out emails at odd hours are three of the best-known tricks. After a while this can result in collective self-cheat that this pretence (假装) is actual work. But presenteeism (全勤主义) has more serious consequences. As well as reducing productivity, this can increase medical expenses for the employer. According to a study, these costs can be six times higher for employers than the costs of absenteeism among workers. For example, a research found that Japanese employees with lower-back pain were three times more likely to turn up for work than in Britain. As a result, those workers were more likely to experience greater pain and to suffer from depression. What could be more upset than being in pain while feeling trapped at work? None of this is to say that employers haven’t the right to expect workers to be in the office for an acceptable proportion of time. Unavoidably there will be a need for some (preferably short) meetings. Dealing with colleagues face-to-face creates a feeling of trust and friendship, allows for a useful exchange of ideas and enables workers to have a better sense of their needs. But modern machinery like smartphones and laptops is portable. It can be used as easily at home as in the office. Turing an office into a prison, with prisoners allowed home for the evenings, does nothing for the creativity that is increasingly demanded of office workers as routine tasks are automated. To be productive you need presence of mind, not being present in the flesh. 24．Why do employees still stay at their desk after work according to the passage? A．To put extra efforts into their work. B．To get more overtime allowance. C．To give their bosses a good impression. D．To keep their bosses company. 25．Which of the following is the consequence of presenteeism? A．Employers will pay workers higher wages. B．Workers will suffer physically and mentally. C．Workers will perform their job more efficiently. D．The effort put in by workers will finally pay off. 26．Why is working in the office for some time necessary? A．It brings bosses more profits. B．It helps build better social bonds. C．It makes the exchange of ideas formal. D．It satisfies workers’ material needs. 27．What would the author probably agree with? A．Presenteeism can’t help develop creativity. B．Absence from work reduces productivity. C．Presence at work will be more joyful. D．Technology makes company management easier. We’ve all done it before—dropped a box of unwanted household belongings at a flea market and driven off with a sense of accomplishment. But have you ever stopped to think about where those items actually go? Business journalist Adam Minter began considering this while cleaning out his late mother’s home. Seeking reassurance that his mother’s donated items would be put to good use rather than destroyed, he started a journey worldwide that resulted in his latest book, “Secondhand: Travels in the New Global Garage Sale”. He found the industry significantly in the dark, with a disturbing lack of data on secondhand goods, despite their crucial role in clothing, furnishing and educating people worldwide. In this book, Minter fully reveals himself as an investigative journalist. He doesn’t shy away from the commonly-accepted assumptions about the global trade in used goods. First, Minter questions the idea that shipments of secondhand clothes from developed countries to Africa have destroyed local textile industries (纺织业). That’s overly simplistic, he says. He further explains that multiple factors, such as declining cotton production in local areas and economic liberation, have influenced the situation. Minter then explores the topic of car seats, making a statement that recycling car seats, instead of selling them secondhand, is wasteful and might compromise (危害) safety for children in developing countries. It is disturbing to say so in a society that prioritizes child safety and highlights zero risk, but when you consider the excessive caution that might endanger children’s lives elsewhere, the situation starts to look different. Minter calls it “waste colonialism,” this idea that developed countries can apply their own safety standards onto the markets of developing countries—and it’s deeply wrong. Why label an used car seat or an old TV as unsafe if someone else, with different skills, is perfectly capable of repairing it and willing to use it, especially if they lack access to new products and other options? The book explores the huge problems of handling surplus (剩余的) items and how producers discourage repairs and promote the sales of new products. Minter calls for initiatives to enhance product repairability and increase product lifetime. 28．Why does Minter set out on a journey worldwide? A．To remember his late mother. B．To explore where used items end up. C．To collect data for fashion industries. D．To advocate recycling of used goods. 29．In Minter’s opinion, the common idea about secondhand clothes trade in Africa is ________. A．groundless B．one-sided C．conventional D．self-contradictory 30．Which action taken by developed countries might Minter describe as “waste colonialism”? A．Selling old TV sets to developing countries. B．Denying access to used car seats domestically. C．Banning used goods export to developing countries. D．Prioritizing safety in new goods for developing countries. 31．What does Minter encourage producers to do in his book? A．Handle used items efficiently. B．Promote sales of new products. C．Make more sustainable products. D．Take the initiative to boost production. College professors these days face an ever-higher bar to get the attention of their students, forced to compete with smartphones and laptops in large lecture halls. But when your professor is a social media star, it’s a little bit easier. Tatiana Erukhimova, who teaches physics at Texas A&M University, has managed to get her students, as well as future generations, excited about the science. Known as “Dr. Tatiana” to her students and online fan base, the professor performs physics tricks with boundless energy and enthusiasm. In the kid-friendly videos, Erukhimova uses a range of everyday objects in her experiments, from pingpong balls and toilet paper. Her department’s YouTube page has about 2.5 million followers. She got famous on YouTube. It’s clear she knows what it takes to get young people excited about a hard science. But it wasn’t always that way. When she first started teaching college freshman classes almost two decades ago, she struggled to grab the attention of her younger students. She was used to teaching juniors, as she had for a few years prior to that. By junior year, students enrolled in physics are committed to learn, she says. With them, she could walk through the syllabus (教学大纲) on day one, and still command the room. But when it comes to teaching a large lecture hall of 100-plus first-year students, first impressions are make or break. By the second semester, she found her footing, adjusting her approach to get her students engaged. “Talk to your students before and after class, walk up and down the stairs when you teach your class rather than stay on the stage. And don’t just lecture, talk to them — make it interactive.” She says. And, of course, add showy demonstrations to help students to connect these abstract concepts with real life. She’s earned more than just recognition on social media. In October, she was honored with a national award for science outreach “for leadership in bringing the excitement of physics through innovative education programs.” 32．What does the author intend to do in the first paragraph? A．To introduce the topic. B．To present a challenge. C．To analyze. D．To provide some backgrounds. 33．What challenge do college freshman courses pose to Tatiana? A．Introducing the syllabus to her students. B．Preventing her students’ absent-mindedness. C．Creating a lasting impression on her students. D．Finding a lecture hall large enough for her students. 34．How did Tatiana find her footing in her teaching? A．By lecturing students more. B．By bonding with her freshmen. C．By becoming a social medium star. D．By answering all her students’ questions. 35．Which best describes Tatiana Erukhimova? A．Rigid. B．Humorous. C．Demanding. D．Flexible. Whenever we are planning to buy something online, most of us prefer to look at the reviews first. We imagine that they have been left by shoppers like us who want to share their knowledge with others, so the reviews would be of great value to us. 36 Some of them are writing positive review s in return for a payment or gifts from the maker. How do we know this? A careful study of thousands of reviews on a popular shopping website showed that a surprisingly large number of reviewers gave either four-or five-star ratings to the product. Two-or three-star ratings both accounted for less than ten percent of the total, which looked suspicious (可疑的). 37 Not everything being sold on the shopping website could be first class! We all know that some false information is provided. Some products that you buy on shopping website can be terrible. You would expect therefore to see a variety of scores. 38 It seems that anyone who writes a large number of good review s is given a special treat by the shopping website. 39 How should a shopper reply to all these “wonderful” reviews? The best thing to do is to have access to a website run by some organizations such as Which in the UK. The Which product evaluation is based on strict tests carried out by experts and then on reviews by trusted shoppers who are Which members. They are not allowed to take free gifts from makers. 40 So, a good and responsible organization seems to be the best answer. A．So why are most reviews positive? B．Reviews differ from person to person. C．However, not all reviewers are like this. D．So how can we tell true review s from false ones? E．These “top” reviewers are then given free products. F．Shoppers need protection from misleading reviews. G．If those reviews were true, a broader spread of ratings would be given. 三、完形填空 Some of the classrooms at Taft Elementary in Santa Clara, California, have one flaw (缺陷) in common: They don’t have 41 . “Most of the day, the students are 42 . And they don’t really get to see any trees, or the blue sky,” said Ernesto Rodriguez, a school psychologist with a 43 for landscape photography. “The lack of windows does affect kids, making it 44 to concentrate. Being in and around nature 45 anxiety and has benefits for students. Kids who have 46 out of windows do better academically, emotionally and creatively.” He had an 47 to bring nature into rooms by developing hospital curtains that he could print landscapes onto as a 48 to brighten dull rooms. Then, he brought landscapes into classrooms—via the ceiling. Rodriguez uses his photography skills to take 360 degree shots of tree canopies (树冠). Then he 49 them and fits them onto the ceiling, so when you 50 , it feels like you’re sitting under a tree. “It has all those elements of the science that help calm you down, help you 51 and communicate. Kids will want to come in more 52 ,” he said. “It’s surprising to 53 that there are trees here,” one student said as she entered the room and saw the 54 addition. “I would say that it’s pretty great and beautiful. Trees bring me peace.” “This is a 55 of both my careers as a school psychologist and a photographer,” said Rodriguez. 41．A．trees. B．ceilings C．windows D．photos 42．A．inside B．outside C．downstairs D．upstairs 43．A．demand B．concern C．dream D．passion 44．A．hard B．useless C．necessary D．endless 45．A．connects B．eases C．causes D．increases 46．A．time B．access C．thoughts D．views 47．A．idea B．approval C．opinion D．impression 48．A．guide B．way C．reason D．proposal 49．A．collects B．grades C．prints D．cuts 50．A．get out B．get up C．look out D．look up 51．A．play B．eat C．focus D．breathe 52．A．frequently B．quickly C．comfortably D．normally 53．A．confirm B．see C．fancy D．forget 54．A．familiar B．confusing C．new D．usual 55．A．characteristic B．combination C．balance D．foundation 四、语法填空 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Richard is the author of The New Age of Invention, which has just been published.

In addition, thanks 61 increasing computing power, important advances have been made in medicine and environmental science. New inventions like 3D printers have been used 62 (make) replacement hearts and bone parts. 63 (use) GPS technology, we can travel to different places. What’s more, huge advances in solar technology mean it can be eco-friendly as well. So what is it that inspires us to invent things? In fact, most inventions start with recognising a problem that needs a 64 (solve). Take the wheel in ancient times as an example, which much 65 (late) developed into the car. In terms of a time machine, Richard thinks we still have a long way to go. 五、书信写作 66．在美食节举行之际，你校正在组织以“我最喜爱的美食”为题的英语作文比赛。请你写一篇短文参赛，内容包括： 1. 你最喜爱的美食； 2. 你喜爱该美食的原因。 注意： 1. 写作词数应为80左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 My Favourite Food ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 六、书面表达 67．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 In a small town called Meadowville, there was a beloved playground that had brought joy to generations of children. 11-year-old Emma and her best friends, Alice and Leo, were among those who idled away their after-school time and weekends there all year round. It was a place where imaginations soared, friendships blossomed, and laughter echoed through the air. One afternoon, rushing out the school gate, Emma shouted, “Let’s go down to the playground!” The three of them got there soon, but it was locked up. The fence was broken and the swings had tape around them. Shocked, they stared into each other’s eyes, not knowing why. A man approached them, explaining that it was unsafe and the council had decided to shut it down. “Will they fix it?” asked Alice. “No. it will cost a lot, at least ten thousand dollars.” the man shook his head, walking away. Leo looked desperate, gazing at the playground and then hanging his head, as if bidding farewell. “We need to get some help!” Emma dragged Alice towards her home. On stepping into the house, Emma exclaimed, “Dad! We need ten thousand dollars...” Her dad, who was drinking coffee, turned his head around, “What?” Alice then revealed the truth. Hearing this heart-breaking news, Emma’s parents were more than surprised, for their childhood was closely connected with that playground as well. They spread the news to other families. Instead of providing the money, they suggested the children take matters into their own hands while parents offered assistance. 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。 Emma sprang to her feet, “Let’s hold a bake sale to raise funds!” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Their hard work paid off. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 《湖南省常德市安乡县第一中学2024-2025学年高三下学期入学考试英语试题》参考答案 题号 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 答案 B B A A A B C B A C 题号 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 答案 B C A B B A A C B C 题号 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 答案 C D B C B B A B B C 题号 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 答案 C A B B D C G A E F 题号 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 答案 C A D A B D A B C D 题号 51 52 53 54 55 答案 C A B C B 1．B 【原文】M: Alice, you fed the parrot this morning, didn’t you? W: No, I didn’t. I did that last night. M: Oh, no. I fed it yesterday afternoon. 2．B 【原文】M: I used to love this restaurant. For years, they had the best Italian food in town W: I agree. It was one of my favorites too until they hired a new chef and changed. 3．A 【原文】W:Pardon me, what is the price of this keyboard? Is it on sale? M: It is usually fifty dollars, but it is twenty percent off until the 15th of this month. 4．A 【原文】W: I’ve been trying to get hold of Grandma all day, but I haven’t got any reply. Nick, can you go and see if Grandma is home? M: OK, Mom. It happens that I’d like to get some sandwiches on the way back. 5．A 【原文】M: So how did a farmer’s daughter become such a big name in the fashion world? W: My mother taught me how to make clothes at a young age, so I was inspired by her. 6．B 7．C 【原文】M: I can’t stand this heat. I can’t give my attention to studying for the mid-term exam. I guess I’ll have to go to the library this afternoon. W: I don’t blame you. This dormitory doesn’t have an air conditioner. I can’t study either. My roommate and I are thinking about moving out to the other dorm or an apartment that has an air conditioner. M: Oh, I’ve thought about moving, too. But if I want to live in an apartment, I’ll have to pay a lot of money for electricity. W: Oh, no. That’s really expensive. Well, I guess I’ll tell my roommate we will see about the other dorm. If it doesn’t work out, we will sweat all summer. 8．B 9．A 10．C 【原文】Good evening. Britain is a nation of animal lovers. We love to see wild rabbits and deer. But perhaps our favorite members of the animal kingdom are wild birds. Rather than hunting them or eating them, we just like to look at them. There are lots of varieties in all shapes and sizes. Some people provide nest boxes for them in their gardens. One of our favorite things is feeding the birds so much so that the production of wild bird food is now a huge industry in our country. A new research shows this enthusiasm has had a great effect on our country’s bird population. A study in the 1970s showed that only one or two types of bird were fed. Now, however, over 30 types are taking advantage of the free food. Numbers of wild birds have greatly increased, which has to be good news. However, caution is needed. Some worry that wild birds may grow to depend on human help and may not be able to look after themselves. 11．B 12．C 13．A 【原文】W: Winston, to be frank, I’m longing for the long vacation. M: Me, too, Bonnie. How I wish to escape from boring university life! How I wish to go somewhere far away and forget about lectures and all that hard work! W: I think not. I’m expecting the vacation because I’ve been away from home for such a long time. In fact, my first term here is full of challenges. M: Oh? Share more, please. W: Well, the courses at the university seem more academic and theoretical. It calls for energy and patience. You need to explore them. That way, you will find them challenging and interesting. M: Wow, I’ve got so much to learn from you. W: Let’s get down to business. What’s your plan for the vacation ahead? M: I’m going to the coast. I believe it would be great to do some swimming and surfing. What about you? W: I plan to stay with my parents, doing some climbing and walking sometimes. M: Sounds good. 14．B 15．B 16．A 17．A 【原文】 18．C 19．B 20．C 【原文】I am pleased to announce the winners of this year’s King and Queen of the Senior Class. First, the queen. Camille Smith has been a straight-A student ever since she joined Freeman High School. But she is much more than just a good student. She started the community service club. The club matches students with local causes that they care about. She will leave a lasting impression when she heads for Harvard in the fall. Next, we have Stan Brooks, our Senior Class King. Stan started the garden program here at Freeman. When the project began, we had a tiny area of dirt and only a few flowers. Now, we’ve got a dozen kinds of fruits and vegetables growing at any one time, and we grow food all year round. The garden program is a great way for students to explore a different kind of learning. They did projects about how to protect nature and came up with plans for how not to waste any food. With Stan’s help, this school has become more beautiful and more involved with others. He’s still trying to choose between Stanford and Yale, but we’ll miss him wherever he goes. Let’s wish our King and Queen the best of luck as they finish the school year strong! 21．C 22．D 23．B 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了三个品牌的笔记本电脑。 21．细节理解题。根据Microsoft部分中“And with an additional keyboard, great displays and long battery life, the Surface tablets make for great machines for work or play respectively.(加上额外的键盘、出色的显示屏和较长的电池续航时间，Surface平板电脑可以分别成为工作和娱乐的好机器)”可知，要同时满足工作和娱乐的目的，消费者最有可能选择Microsoft Surface Pro 8。故选C。 22．细节理解题。根据最后一部分“But all in all, they’re a good shout for a first-time tablet buyer that isn’t looking to spend a few hundred pounds on a device, but still wants to watch videos or browse the web on the go.(但总而言之，对于那些不打算花几百英镑购买平板电脑，但仍想在旅途中观看视频或浏览网页的首次购买平板电脑的人来说，这是一个不错的选择)”可知，Amazon Fire HD 10 plus最适合预算紧张、喜欢小尺寸的家庭。故选D。 23．推理判断题。根据最后一段“* This post contains affiliate links, so we may earn a small fee when you make a purchase through links on our site at no additional cost to you.( *此帖子包含会员链接，因此当您通过我们网站上的链接进行购买时，我们可能会赚取少量费用，而不需要您支付额外费用)”可知，这篇文章的目的是鼓励读者通过他们的网站购买平板电脑。故选B。 24．C 25．B 26．B 27．A 【导语】本文是议论文。文章主要讲述在上班族之间存在的自我延续的循环的坏处和改掉这个循环的建议。 24．推理判断题。根据第二段“If bosses do not like to go home before their workers, and workers fear leaving before their bosses, everyone is trapped. Staff may feel that they will not get a pay rise, or a promotion, if they are not seen to be putting in maximum effort. Managers, who are often no good at judging employees’ performance, use time in the office as an alternative.”(如果老板不喜欢在工人之前回家，工人害怕在老板之前离开，那么每个人都会被困。员工可能会觉得，如果他们没有尽最大努力，他们就不会加薪或升职。管理者通常不善于判断员工的表现，他们把在办公室的时间作为一种选择。)可知，下班后员工还不回家的目的是要给老板留下好印象。故选C。 25．细节理解题。根据第四段“But presenteeism (全勤主义) has more serious consequences. As well as reducing productivity, this can increase medical expenses for the employer. According to a study, these costs can be six times higher for employers than the costs of absenteeism among workers. For example, a research found that Japanese employees with lower-back pain were three times more likely to turn up for work than in Britain. As a result, those workers were more likely to experience greater pain and to suffer from depression. What could be more upset than being in pain while feeling trapped at work?”(但全勤主义有更严重的后果。这不仅会降低生产力，还会增加雇主的医疗费用。根据一项研究，雇主的这些成本可能是工人旷工成本的六倍。例如，一项研究发现，腰痛的日本员工上班的可能性是英国的三倍。因此，这些工人更有可能经历更大的痛苦，并患上抑郁症。还有什么比在工作中陷入痛苦更令人不安的呢？)可知，全勤主义会使得员工们在身体上和心理上都遭受很大的痛苦。故选B。 26．细节理解题。根据第五段“Unavoidably there will be a need for some (preferably short) meetings. Dealing with colleagues face-to-face creates a feeling of trust and friendship, allows for a useful exchange of ideas and enables workers to have a better sense of their needs.”(不可避免地需要召开一些（最好是简短的）会议。面对面与同事打交道会产生一种信任和友谊的感觉，允许进行有益的思想交流，并使员工更好地了解自己的需求。)可知，在办公室的时间会让员工们建立更好的纽带。故选B。 27．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Turing an office into a prison, with prisoners allowed home for the evenings, does nothing for the creativity that is increasingly demanded of office workers as routine tasks are automated.”(把办公室变成监狱，让囚犯回家过夜，这对办公室工作人员的创造力没有任何帮助，因为日常工作都是自动化的。)可知，全勤主义并不能刺激员工们的创造力。故选A。 28．B 29．B 30．C 31．C 【导语】本文是说明文。文章讲述了商业记者亚当·明特的新书《二手：新全球车库拍卖之旅》，这本书探讨了二手商品市场。 28．细节理解题。根据第一段的“But have you ever stopped to think about where those items actually go?(但你有没有停下来想过这些东西到底去哪儿了?)”和第二段的“Business journalist Adam Minter began considering this while cleaning out his late mother’s home. Seeking reassurance that his mother’s donated items would be put to good use rather than destroyed, he started a journey worldwide. (商业记者亚当·明特(Adam Minter)在清理已故母亲的房屋时开始考虑这个问题。为了确保母亲捐赠的物品会得到妥善利用，而不是被毁坏，他开始了一次环球旅行。)”可知，Minter环球旅行是为了弄清楚母亲捐赠的物品去了哪里，也就是探索二手物品的去处。故选B。 29．推理判断题。根据第三段的“First, Minter questions the idea that shipments of secondhand clothes from developed countries to Africa have destroyed local textile industries (纺织业). That’s overly simplistic, he says. He further explains that multiple factors, such as declining cotton production in local areas and economic liberation, have influenced the situation. (首先，Minter质疑从发达国家向非洲出口二手服装摧毁了当地纺织业的观点。他说，这过于简单化了。他进一步解释说，当地棉花产量下降和经济解放等多种因素影响了这种情况。)”可知，关于非洲二手服装贸易的普遍观念：向非洲出口的二手服装摧毁了当地的纺织业，Minter表示质疑，认为当地棉花产量下降和经济解放等多种因素也影响了这种情况，因此推断他认为这种普遍的观念是片面的。故选B。 30．推理判断题。根据倒数第三段的“Minter then explores the topic of car seats, making a statement that recycling car seats, instead of selling them secondhand, is wasteful and might compromise (危害) safety for children in developing countries. (Minter接着探讨了汽车座椅的话题，他表示，回收而不是出售二手汽车座椅是一种浪费，而且可能会损害发展中国家儿童的安全。)”和倒数第二段的“Minter calls it “waste colonialism,” this idea that developed countries can apply their own safety standards onto the markets of developing countries—and it’s deeply wrong. Why label an used car seat or an old TV as unsafe if someone else, with different skills, is perfectly capable of repairing it and willing to use it, especially if they lack access to new products and other options? ( Minter称之为“废物殖民主义”，这种发达国家可以将自己的安全标准应用于发展中国家市场的想法是大错特错的。如果别人有不同的技能，完全有能力修理，而且愿意使用，尤其是在他们没有新产品和其他选择的情况下，为什么要给二手汽车座椅或旧电视贴上不安全的标签呢?)”可知，Minter说的废物殖民主义，指的是发达国家把自己的安全标准应用于发展中国家，给二手商品贴上不安全的标签，不出口到发展中国家，因此推断禁止向发展中国家出口旧货属于废物殖民主义。故选C。 31．细节理解题。根据最后一段的“Minter calls for initiatives to enhance product repairability and increase product lifetime. (Minter呼吁采取措施提高产品的可修复性并延长产品的使用寿命。)”可知，在他的书中，Minter呼吁生产可维修的寿命较长的产品，也就是生产更多可持续性产品。故选C。 32．A 33．B 34．B 35．D 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章以塔蒂亚娜·埃鲁希莫娃教授为例，讲述了网红教授更受学生青睐这一现象。 32．推理判断题。 根据第一段的“College professors these days face an ever-higher bar to get the attention of their students, forced to compete with smartphones and laptops in large lecture halls. But when your professor is a social media star, it’s a little bit easier. (如今，大学教授在吸引学生注意力方面面临着越来越高的门槛，他们被迫在大型演讲厅与智能手机和笔记本电脑竞争。但当你的教授是社交媒体明星时，这就容易一点了。)” 可知，作者首先提出了大学教授在吸引学生注意力方面面临的挑战，然后引出了当教授成为社交媒体明星时，情况会有所不同的主题。由此可推断，作者在第一段的目的是引入话题。故选A。 33．细节理解题。 根据第三段中的“But it wasn’t always that way. When she first started teaching college freshman classes almost two decades ago, she struggled to grab the attention of her younger students. (但事实并非总是如此。大约20年前，当她第一次开始教授大学新生时，她很难吸引年轻学生的注意力。)”可知，对Tatiana来说，给大学一年级新生上课的挑战在于抓住他们注意力，防止学生心不在焉。故选B。 34．细节理解题。 根据第四段的““Talk to your students before and after class, walk up and down the stairs when you teach your class rather than stay on the stage. And don’t just lecture, talk to them—make it interactive.” She says. And, of course, add showy demonstrations to help students to connect these abstract concepts with real life. (她说：“课前和课后与学生交谈，上课时上下楼梯，而不是呆在舞台上。不要只是讲课，要与他们交谈——要使其互动。”当然，还可以添加炫耀性的演示，帮助学生将这些抽象概念与现实生活联系起来。)”可知，Tatiana调整她的教学方法来吸引学生的参与，这些策略表明她通过与新生建立联系（即加强互动和沟通）找到了教学的立足点。故选B。 35．推理判断题。根据全文描述，以及第一段的“College professors these days face an ever-higher bar to get the attention of their students, forced to compete with smartphones and laptops in large lecture halls. But when your professor is a social media star, it’s a little bit easier. (如今，大学教授在吸引学生注意力方面面临着越来越高的门槛，他们被迫在大型演讲厅与智能手机和笔记本电脑竞争。但当你的教授是社交媒体明星时，这就容易一点了。)”可知，Tatiana Erukhimova能够灵活调整教学策略，利用社交媒体和互动演示使物理课程生动有趣，由此可推知，她是非常灵活的。故选D。 36．C 37．G 38．A 39．E 40．F 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章分析了购物者受购物网站评论误导的问题。 36．上文“We imagine that they have been left by shoppers like us who want to share their knowledge with others, so the reviews would be of great value to us.

With respective tasks, the children and parents got down to the preparation. Emma’s father made a huge banner reading “Saving the Playground” while Leo’s mom occupied herself with paperwork needed to issue a permit for the sale. Meanwhile, kids worked jointly to design and hand out the leaflets. Eventually, the big day came. Almost every family in their community contributed their delicious homemade treats. That Sunday morning, the aroma of freshly baked cookies and cakes filled the air as people lined up to support the cause. Being a tremendous success, the sale in the farmer’s market went for another 2 months. Their hard work paid off. As news of their efforts spread, local businesses started pitching in. The hardware store donated paint and materials, while the gardening center provided plants and flowers. The children worked tirelessly, transforming the worn-out playground into a vibrant and inviting space once again. On the day of re-opening, the children organized a community celebration, inviting everyone who had contributed to the project to share the joy. The children of Meadowville taught the world that with determination, unity, and a little bit of fundraising, anything is possible. The playground stood as a testament to their resilience and the power of their youthful spirits, reminding everyone that dreams can be achieved when hearts come together. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了在一个叫梅多维尔的小镇上，有一个深受孩子们喜爱的操场，给几代孩子带来了欢乐。但是某天因为操场不安全而被关闭了，重新开放需要一万美元修理费，于是孩子们通过义卖来筹集资金，最终拯救了他们的操场。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“艾玛跳了起来，‘让我们举办一个糕饼义卖来筹集资金吧！’”可知，第一段可描写孩子和父母为义卖活动所做的准备。 ②由第二段首句内容“他们的努力得到了回报。”可知，第二段可描写大家都来支持孩子们的义卖，最终操场得以开放。 2.续写线索：举办义卖——做准备——人们支持——得到回报——操场重开——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 着手做：get down to/set about 忙于：occupy oneself with/be busy doing sth. 实现：achieve/come true 情绪类 快乐：joy /happiness 吸引人：inviting /appealing 【点睛】[高分句型1] Being a tremendous success, the sale in the farmer’s market went for another 2 months.
