Growing up beneath chinar trees, I learned to see them as symbols of endurance, each branch a witness to centuries of conflict and suffering. In my hometown, carrying identification is as routine as carrying one’s keys — a daily practice that acknowledges the underlying (潜在的) tension in our lives. When I moved to Shanghai from abroad for my PhD at Tongji University in 2022, I thought that this same instinct (本能) for caution would stay. But Shanghai offered something unexpected: a life shaped not by caution but by trust. Here in Shanghai, people leave bicycles unlocked, bags unattended, and walk freely without a second thought about their safety. You pick up deliveries without showing your ID, and people treat you not as an outsider but as someone who belongs here. It revealed a truth about human nature I had not fully understood that trust could be a foundation, a quiet norm rather than something rare. For the first time, I felt what it was like to trust a city itself, letting it hold me gently and carefully in its arms without the caution I’ d long carried. In my hometown, safety is something we manage cautiously. We carry identification not as an option but as an unspoken rule, and we find our way through life with an awareness sharpened by necessity. But in Shanghai, safety is an unspoken promise rather than a guarded privilege (特权). I can walk alone at night without looking over my shoulder or even thinking to bring my ID — a freedom that felt almost unreal at first. Living in Shanghai has reshaped not only my understanding of trust and safety but also my understanding of home. For so long, home was connected with my hometown, to its chinar trees and its cautious routines. But Shanghai has shown me that home can be found in a sense of peace and freedom, in the ability to walk through life unburdened by caution. Home is not merely a place; it’s a feeling rooted in safety, comfort, and the freedom to be oneself without restraint. 4. Why does the writer usually carry identification in his hometown? A. By instinct for caution. B. Out of personal habit. C. Out of fear of losing it. D. For showing off himself. 5. What surprised the author about life in Shanghai? A. The strict measures of security check. B. The city’s historic landmarks and traditions. C. The strong sense of belonging among locals. D. The freedom and trust among its citizens. 6. How does Para. 6 develop? A. By comparison. B. By description. C. By argument. D. By definition. 7. According to the text, what new understanding of home did the author gain in Shanghai? A. Home is defined by its physical location and routines. B. Home is a place where trust and safety are guaranteed. C. Home requires a balance between freedom and caution. D. Home is built on cultural identity and shared traditions. 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲述作者从家乡到上海后对信任、安全及家的新理解。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第二段“In my hometown, carrying identification is as routine as carrying one’s keys — a daily practice that acknowledges the underlying (潜在的) tension in our lives. (在我的家乡，随身携带身份证件就如同带着钥匙一样平常 —— 这一日常行为反映了我们生活中潜在的紧张氛围。)”可知，作者在家乡通常携带身份证是因为出于谨慎的本能。故选A。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第三段中的“But Shanghai offered something unexpected: a life shaped not by caution but by trust. (然而，上海却带来了意想不到的东西：这里的生活不是由谨慎塑造的，而是由信任塑造的。)”以及第四段“Here in Shanghai, people leave bicycles unlocked, bags unattended, and walk freely without a second thought about their safety. You pick up deliveries without showing your ID, and people treat you not as an outsider but as someone who belongs here. (在上海，人们会不锁自行车，把包放在一旁不管，还能自由自在地行走，丝毫不担心自己的安全。取快递时无需出示身份证，而且人们不会把你当作外人，而是把你当作这里的一员。)”可知，上海生活中让作者感到惊讶的是市民之间的自由和信任。故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第六段“In my hometown, safety is something we manage cautiously. We carry identification not as an option but as an unspoken rule, and we find our way through life with an awareness sharpened by necessity. But in Shanghai, safety is an unspoken promise rather than a guarded privilege (特权). I can walk alone at night without looking over my shoulder or even thinking to bring my ID — a freedom that felt almost unreal at first. (在我的家乡，安全是我们小心翼翼去维护的东西。我们携带身份证件并非是一种选择，而是一条不成文的规定，我们在生活中前行时，那份因需要而变得敏锐的警觉始终伴随着我们。但在上海，安全是一种无需言说的承诺，而不是一种需要小心守护的特权。我可以在夜晚独自漫步，无需回头张望，甚至无需想着带上身份证 —— 这种自由起初让我觉得几乎有些不真实。)”可知，作者将家乡对安全的谨慎态度（如携带身份证是默认规则）和在上海感受到的安全（是一种无需言说的承诺，晚上独自走路无需担心）进行了对比。所以该段是通过对比的方式展开的。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。由文章最后一段“Living in Shanghai has reshaped not only my understanding of trust and safety but also my understanding of home. For so long, home was connected with my hometown, to its chinar trees and its cautious routines. But Shanghai has shown me that home can be found in a sense of peace and freedom, in the ability to walk through life unburdened by caution. Home is not merely a place; it’s a feeling rooted in safety, comfort, and the freedom to be oneself without restraint. (在上海的生活不仅重塑了我对信任和安全的理解，也改变了我对“家”的认知。长久以来，家总是与我的家乡联系在一起，与那里的悬铃木树和谨慎的生活习惯联系在一起。但上海让我明白，家可以在一种平和与自由的感觉中找到，在于能够无忧无虑、无需小心翼翼地生活。家不仅仅是一个地方，它更是一种植根于安全、舒适以及无拘无束做自己的自由之中的感觉。)”可知，作者在上海对“家”有了新的理解，即家是一个确保信任和安全的地方。故选B。 C Monica Gross, a 30-year-old comedian in Toronto, noticed something odd happening at house parties last year. People were ducking into bathrooms, hallways and quiet corners to record and listen to voice notes-audio recordings you send like a text. From house-party bathrooms to internet culture, voice notes are having a moment. Like all tech trends, the popularity of voice notes tells us about the connections people thirst for. Voice notes, which the sender speaks out loud, got basic placement in Apple’s texting app Messages in 2014. Since then, they’ve been added to almost every major social media and messaging platform. To send one, you typically press and hold a microphone icon (图标), speak your mind and send it off. Depending on the app, you can review your note first, listen at a faster or slower speed, or go full circle and read an automated transcript (文字记录) of the note. People who rely on voice notes are convinced they solve a problem. For the burned out, they’re a break from looking at screens. For the busy, they offer the convenience of talking without the commitment of a phone call. Unlike calling on the phone, voice notes don’t demand immediate or lasting attention, said Leora Trub, who runs the Digital Media and Psychology Lab at Pace University. That makes voice notes just the right amount of vulnerable (脆弱的) for young adults who, on the whole, have fewer friends than generations past, according to the Survey Center on American Life. “The voice note is this attempt to go back to calling, without actually calling.” Not everyone, however, is longing for a glimpse inside the mind of their loved ones. Annie Ridout, a writer in London, has three kids under 10 years old, and she feels a flash of frustration when friends send voice notes during her working hours. “I’m a busy working mum, and I don’t want people adding to my workload.” she said. That’s a problem with voice notes, said Pace University’s Trub. The recipient might not have time, interest or a pair of headphones. 8. Why is the example of Monica Gross used? A. To state closer connections. B. To prove people’s busyness. C. To explain an internet culture. D. To show the rise of voice notes. 9. What does the underlined words “burned out” mean in Para. 3? A. Motivated. B. Confused. C. Exhausted. D. Energized. 10 What is Para. 4 mainly about? A. The advantages of voice notes. B. The weakness of young adults. C. The need of immediate attention. D. The attempt of lasting calling. 11. Why does Annie Ridout dislike voice notes? A. They are favorites of her kids. B. They are disturbance to her work. C. They are problems of her friends. D. They are the workload of the writer. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，主要探讨了语音消息在当下的流行现象，包括其在各平台的普及、发送方式、优势以及存在的不足，同时也分析了不同人群对语音消息的看法，展现了语音消息这一新兴交流方式在社交领域的多面性。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Monica Gross, a 30-year-old comedian in Toronto, noticed something odd happening at house parties last year. People were ducking into bathrooms, hallways and quiet corners to record and listen to voice notes-audio recordings you send like a text. From house-party bathrooms to internet culture, voice notes are having a moment.(多伦多30岁的喜剧演员莫妮卡·格罗斯去年在家庭聚会上注意到了一些奇怪的事情。人们纷纷躲进浴室、走廊和安静的角落，录制和收听你像短信一样发送的语音笔记和录音。从家庭聚会浴室到网络文化，语音笔记正在流行)”可知，莫妮卡・格罗斯的例子，是为了呈现语音消息兴起的状况，D 选项 “To show the rise of voice notes(为了展示语音消息的兴起)”正确。故选D项。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段 “For the burned out, they’re a break from looking at screens.(对于那些 “burned out”的人来说，他们可以暂时不看屏幕) ”可知，这类人需要从看屏幕中解脱。C选项“Exhausted(疲惫的)”，符合长时间看屏幕后感到疲惫，进而需要从看屏幕状态中解脱出来的语境。故选C项。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“Unlike calling on the phone, voice notes don’t demand immediate or lasting attention(与打电话不同，语音消息不需要立即或持续的关注)”，表明这是语音消息的一个优势。第四段“That makes voice notes just the right amount of vulnerable for young adults who, on the whole, have fewer friends than generations past(这使得语音消息对于那些总体上比过去几代人朋友更少的年轻人来说，恰到好处地不会给他们带来太大压力)”，进一步阐述了语音消息对特定人群的适宜性，所以答案是 A 选项“The advantages of voice notes(语音消息的优点)”。故选A项。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Annie Ridout, a writer in London, has three kids under 10 years old, and she feels a flash of frustration when friends send voice notes during her working hours. ‘I’m a busy working mum, and I don’t want people adding to my workload.’ she said.(伦敦作家安妮・里多特有三个10岁以下的孩子，当朋友们在她工作时间发送语音消息时，她会感到一阵沮丧。她说：“我是一个忙碌的职场妈妈，我不想有人增加我的工作量。”)”可知，安妮・里多特不喜欢语音消息是因为它们干扰了她的工作。所以答案是 B 选项 “They are disturbance to her work (它们对她的工作造成干扰)”。故选B项。 D Gout (痛风) is often associated with drinking too much or not eating healthily enough, but new research suggests genetics play more of a factor in developing the arthritic (患关节炎的) condition than previously thought. The research, carried out by an international team of scientists, looked at genetic data collected from 2.6 million people across 13 different groups of DNA data. That number included 120,295 people with “prevalent gout”. By comparing the genetic codes of the people with gout against the people without, the team found 377 specific DNA regions where there were variations specific to having the condition —149 of which hadn’t been previously linked to gout. While lifestyle and environmental factors are certainly still in play, the findings suggest genetics play a major role in determining whether or not someone gets gout — and the researchers think there may be more undiscovered genetic links still to be found, too. “Gout is a disease with a genetic basis and is not the fault of the sufferer — the myth that gout is caused by lifestyle or diet needs to be broken,” says epidemiologist Tony Merriman, from the University of Otago in New Zealand. Gout can come and go, but there are treatments available — and the authors behind the new study think misconceptions can put people off getting those treatments. That’s a real problem with cases of the condition rising and rising. “This widespread myth causes shame in people with gout, making some people more likely to suffer in silence and not go and see the doctor to get a preventive drug that lowers urate (尿酸) in the blood and will prevent their pain.” says Merriman. There are some limitations to the study: the majority of the data was from people of Europeans, and some records relied on the self-reporting of gout rather than the data from hospital. Nevertheless, it gives us a much better sense of a health problem that’s been making people suffering for centuries. “We hope that, in time, better and more accessible treatments will become available with the new targets we identified.” says Merriman. 12. What is the new finding of the research on gout? A. It is caused by diet. B. It is just a myth. C. Genetics play a major role. D. Lifestyle causes it. 13. Why are people with gout unwilling to see the doctor according to Merriman? A. False belief in the cause of gout. B. Lack of confidence in themselves. C. Preference for preventive drugs. D. Doubt of effectiveness of treatments. 14. Which is the limitation of the study? A. Insufficient funds. B. Unscientific data. C. Ineffective methods. D. Undesirable conditions. 15. Which word best describes the author’s attitude to the research? A. Doubtful. B. Tolerant. C. Indifferent. D. Objective. 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了痛风通常与饮酒过多或饮食不健康有关，但新的研究表明，遗传因素在关节炎发病中的作用比以前认为的要大。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Gout (痛风) is often associated with drinking too much or not eating healthily enough, but new research suggests genetics play more of a factor in developing the arthritic (患关节炎的) condition than previously thought.( 痛风通常与饮酒过多或饮食不健康有关，但新的研究表明，遗传因素在关节炎发病中的作用比以前认为的要大。)”以及第四段中“While lifestyle and environmental factors are certainly still in play, the findings suggest genetics play a major role in determining whether or not someone gets gout(虽然生活方式和环境因素肯定仍在发挥作用，但研究结果表明，基因在决定一个人是否患上痛风方面起着重要作用。)”可知，新的研究表明，虽然生活方式和环境因素仍然起作用，但遗传在决定一个人是否患痛风方面起着主要作用。故选C项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段中“Gout can come and go, but there are treatments available— and the authors behind the new study think misconceptions can put people off getting those treatments.( 痛风来来去去，但有治疗方法——这项新研究的作者认为，误解会使人们不愿接受这些治疗。)”以及第七段““This widespread myth causes shame in people with gout, making some people more likely to suffer in silence and not go and see the doctor to get a preventive drug that lowers urate (尿酸) in the blood and will prevent their pain.” says Merriman.( 这种普遍存在的误解让痛风患者感到羞耻，使一些人更有可能默默忍受，不去看医生，服用降低血液中尿酸的预防药物，从而预防疼痛。梅里曼说。)”可知，认为痛风是由生活方式或饮食引起的这种普遍的错误观念让痛风患者感到羞愧，导致他们更可能默默忍受痛苦而不去看医生，所以是对痛风病因的错误认知导致痛风患者不愿意看医生。故选A项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“There are some limitations to the study: the majority of the data was from people of Europeans, and some records relied on the self-reporting of gout rather than the data from hospital.( 这项研究有一些局限性：大多数数据来自欧洲人，一些记录依赖于痛风的自我报告，而不是来自医院的数据。)”可知，这项研究的局限性在于大多数数据来自欧洲人，并且一些记录依赖于痛风患者的自我报告而不是医院的数据，这说明数据不够科学。故选B项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章大意以及最后一段““We hope that, in time, better and more accessible treatments will become available with the new targets we identified.” says Merriman.(“我们希望，随着时间的推移，我们确定的新目标将提供更好、更容易获得的治疗方法。梅里曼说。)”可知，文章客观地介绍了关于痛风的新研究，包括研究的方法、发现、意义以及研究的局限性，作者没有表达自己对研究的怀疑（Doubtful）、宽容（Tolerant）或冷漠（Indifferent）的态度，而是以客观的态度呈现相关信息。所以D选项“Objective.”（客观的）正确。故选D项。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Polite Habits Job Interviewers Actually Dislike There’s no way around it: Job interviews are stressful. That goes for everyone. After all, that interview is your chance to make a good impression, and if you don’t, you can pretty much kiss that job goodbye. That’s why you want to be as professional and polite as possible, but you might not be as polite as you think you’ re being. ____16____. Being formal A formal situation calls for a few formalities. Your application letter should be professional, your conversation shouldn’t be too casual, and you should keep some private details private. ____17____. But the world has become increasingly informal, and being overly formal is an etiquette (礼节) mistake too. If a candidate is overly formal, it’s harder to connect with him/ her, build trust and analyse if he/ she matches the company’s culture. ____18____. It can be hard to talk about yourself, and highlighting your achievements may feel like bragging (吹嘘). But it’s important that your interviewer knows your direct contributions to your current or former companies instead of your team. Wearing formal business attire (服装) ____19____. While this is expected in some workplaces, more and more companies now have casual environments. “You could appear out of touch with their culture if you show up in a suit and tie while your interviewers are wearing jeans,” Donovan says. Overpreparing Preparation is important— it shows your work principle and your commitment to getting this job. But it is possible to be so prepared that your answers sound mechanised and uninteresting. ____20____, which is the last thing an employer wants. A. Here is how it happens B. Not asking any questions C. This is a job interview, after all D. Talking about ‘we’ instead of ‘me’ E. Here’s what you need to be careful to land that job F. This actually removes your personality from the process G. Many people have been taught that a job interview calls for a suit 【答案】16. E 17. C 18. D 19. G 20. F 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章介绍了找工作时的几点注意事项。 【16题详解】 上文“That’s why you want to be as professional and polite as possible, but you might not be as polite as you think you’ re being.(这就是为什么你想要尽可能的专业和礼貌，但你可能没有你想象的那么礼貌)”提到，找工作时想要尽可能的专业和礼貌，但可能做不到，下文对此提出了几点建议，E项“要想找到那份工作，你需要注意以下几点”承上启下，符合语境，故选E。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Your application letter should be professional, your conversation shouldn’t be too casual, and you should keep some private details private.(你的求职信应该是专业的，你们的谈话不应该太随意，你应该对一些私人细节保密)”可知，求职时应该对一些私人细节保密，C项“毕竟这是一次求职面试”说明上文原因，故选C。 【18题详解】 根据本段内容“It can be hard to talk about yourself, and highlighting your achievements may feel like bragging (吹嘘).(谈论自己很难，强调自己的成就可能会让人觉得你在吹牛)”可知，本段是说不要过于强调自己，D项“谈论‘我们’而不是‘我’”适合作为本段小标题，故选D。 【19题详解】 根据本段小标题“Wearing formal business attire (服装)(穿正式的职业装)”和下文“While this is expected in some workplaces(虽然这在一些工作场所是意料之中的)”可知，G项“很多人都被告知求职面试需要穿西装”符合语境，故选G。 【20题详解】 根据上文“But it is possible to be so prepared that your answers sound mechanised and uninteresting.(但也有可能你准备得太充分，以至于你的回答听起来机械而无趣)”和下文“which is the last thing an employer wants(这是雇主最不希望看到的)”可知，准备得太充分会导致听起来机械而无趣，这样就缺少了自己的个性，F项“这实际上把你的个性从面试过程中剔除了”符合语境，故选F。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 A curious thing happened today. As I went to the Walmart to buy something and swung around to ____21____ , I saw that someone had left a shopping cart (购物车) in the spot. So I parked, and ____22____ the cart to the shopping cart bay. Then, I was going to enter the store. But the shopping cart had ____23____ a mind of its own. The wheels suddenly ____24____ and it began to head into the parking lot. I had to return and handle it again, when I noticed that there was something ____25____ in the bottom of the second cart. A set of keys! I ____26____ the keys, and looked for an address tag (标签) ____27____ me of its owner, but there wasn’t one. So, I decided to send them to the Service counter for help. I made my ____28____ to there, where several people were ahead of me. I had to wait patiently. ____29____, it was my turn, but right as I approached the counter, a/ an ____30____ woman came up, and said something about keys. I immediately ____31____ the keys. A look of surprise quickly ____32____ across her face. “My prayer worked! You are an Angel. Thank you so much!” To be honest, I don’t believe in ____33____. But I had to admit that here was an ____34____ confluence (交汇) of events — the shopping cart had suddenly developed a mind of its own, the wait at the Service counter was just ____35____ enough for both of us to arrive at the same time. Actually, I prefer to believe that it was not a coincidence (巧合), but the ripple of kindness. 21. A. practise B. test C. journey D. park 22. A. wheeled B. drove C. ran D. operated 23.

I am a former elementary school music teacher from Des Moines, Iowa. Robby was 11 years old when his mother (a single mom) dropped him off for his first piano lesson. Actually, I prefer that students (especially boys!) begin at an earlier age, which I explained to Robby. But Robby said that it had always been his mother’s dream to hear him play the piano. So I took him as a student. Over the months, he tried and tried, but it seemed hopeless. He just did not have any inborn ability. Then one day, Robby stopped coming to our lessons. I thought about calling him but assumed, because of his lack of ability, that he had decided to pursue something else. I also was glad that he stopped coming. He was a bad advertisement for my teaching! Several weeks later, I mailed to the student’s homes a flyer on the upcoming recital (音乐演奏会). To my surprise Robby (who received a flyer) asked me if he could be in the recital. I told him that the recital was for current pupils and because he had dropped out, he really did not qualify. He said that his mom had been sick and unable to take him to piano lessons but he was still practicing. “Miss Hondorf…I’ve just got to play!” he insisted. I don’t know what led me to allow him to play in the recital. Maybe it was his persistence or maybe it was something inside of me saying that it would be alright. The night for the recital came. The high school gym was packed with parents, friends and relatives. I put Robby up last in the program before I was to come up and thank all the students and play a finishing piece. I thought that any damage he would do would come at the end of the program and I could always save his poor performance through my “curtain closer”. Well, the recital went smoothly as expected. The students had been practicing and it showed. 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。 Then Robby came up on stage, and he pulled out the piano bench and began. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Moved in tears, I ran up on stage and put my arms around Robby in joy. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Then Robby came up on stage, and he pulled out the piano bench and began. His fingers were light and danced happily on the keys, which seemed as if elves were dancing. Never had I heard the music played so well by someone of his age! After six and a half minutes, he ended his performance. There was just a total silence in the hall at first, and it seemed that the audience was still lost in the piece. Then, all jumped to their feet in wild applause. They madly waved their arms, cheering and whistling. Moved in tears, I ran up on stage and put my arms around Robby in joy. “ Robby, you are so great! I’ve never heard you play like that! How’d you do it?” Through the microphone Robby explained: “Well, you have known my mother was ill. She told me that my playing was her best medicine. The better I played, the sooner she would recover. So, I practised harder and harder. I just want tonight’s play special and she could hear my performance and give a full recovery.” After I heard this, my eyes welled up with tears again. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了作者是一位钢琴老师，Robby到作者的班上学钢琴时已经11岁了，他的表现并不好，作者认为他学钢琴时不明智的，但他一直很认真，有一天Robby突然不来上课了，作者以为他放弃了，然而几周后，Robby接到学校演奏会的通知，请求作者让他参加，由于某种原因，作者同意了他的请求，把他放在节目的最后，演奏会那天进行得很顺利。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“然后Robby走上舞台，他拿出钢琴凳开始演奏。”可知，第一段可描写Robby惊人的表现以及观众的反应。 ②由第二段首句内容“我感动得热泪盈眶，跑上舞台，高兴地搂住Robby。”可知，第二段可描写作者询问Robby原因以及Robby的回答。 2.续写线索：精彩表演——观众反应——作者询问原因——Robby解释——作者感动落泪 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①结束：end/finish ②跳：jump/spring ③痊愈：give a full recovery/make a full recovery 情绪类 ①疯狂地：madly/crazily ②感动：moved/touched 【点睛】[高分句型1] His fingers were light and danced happily on the keys, which seemed as if elves were dancing.（由关系代词which引导非限制性定语从句，as if引导的表语从句） [高分句型2] They madly waved their arms, cheering and whistling. （现在分词作状语） [高分句型3] She told me that my playing was her best medicine.（由连接词that引导的宾语从句） 听力: BCBCA BACBC BACAB BCAAC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 驻马店市2024~2025学年度第一学期期末质量监测 高二英语试题 本试题卷分为第Ⅰ卷(选择题)和第Ⅱ卷(非选择题)两部分。考生作答时，将答案答在答题卡上，在本试题卷上答题无效。考试结束后，监考老师只收答题卡。 注意事项： 1.答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写(涂)在答题卡上。考生要认真核对答题卡上粘贴的条形码的“准考证号、姓名”与考生本人准考证号、姓名是否一致。 2.第Ⅰ卷每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑，如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。第Ⅱ卷用黑色墨水签字笔在答题卡上书写作答，在试题上作答，答案无效。 3.考试结束，监考教师将答题卡收回。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

Growing up beneath chinar trees, I learned to see them as symbols of endurance, each branch a witness to centuries of conflict and suffering. In my hometown, carrying identification is as routine as carrying one’s keys — a daily practice that acknowledges the underlying (潜在的) tension in our lives. When I moved to Shanghai from abroad for my PhD at Tongji University in 2022, I thought that this same instinct (本能) for caution would stay. But Shanghai offered something unexpected: a life shaped not by caution but by trust. Here in Shanghai, people leave bicycles unlocked, bags unattended, and walk freely without a second thought about their safety. You pick up deliveries without showing your ID, and people treat you not as an outsider but as someone who belongs here. It revealed a truth about human nature I had not fully understood that trust could be a foundation, a quiet norm rather than something rare. For the first time, I felt what it was like to trust a city itself, letting it hold me gently and carefully in its arms without the caution I’ d long carried. In my hometown, safety is something we manage cautiously. We carry identification not as an option but as an unspoken rule, and we find our way through life with an awareness sharpened by necessity. But in Shanghai, safety is an unspoken promise rather than a guarded privilege (特权). I can walk alone at night without looking over my shoulder or even thinking to bring my ID — a freedom that felt almost unreal at first. Living in Shanghai has reshaped not only my understanding of trust and safety but also my understanding of home. For so long, home was connected with my hometown, to its chinar trees and its cautious routines. But Shanghai has shown me that home can be found in a sense of peace and freedom, in the ability to walk through life unburdened by caution. Home is not merely a place; it’s a feeling rooted in safety, comfort, and the freedom to be oneself without restraint. 4. Why does the writer usually carry identification in his hometown? A. By instinct for caution. B. Out of personal habit. C. Out of fear of losing it. D. For showing off himself. 5. What surprised the author about life in Shanghai? A. The strict measures of security check. B. The city’s historic landmarks and traditions. C. The strong sense of belonging among locals. D. The freedom and trust among its citizens. 6. How does Para. 6 develop? A. By comparison. B. By description. C. By argument. D. By definition. 7. According to the text, what new understanding of home did the author gain in Shanghai? A. Home is defined by its physical location and routines. B. Home is a place where trust and safety are guaranteed. C. Home requires a balance between freedom and caution. D. Home is built on cultural identity and shared traditions. C Monica Gross, a 30-year-old comedian in Toronto, noticed something odd happening at house parties last year. People were ducking into bathrooms, hallways and quiet corners to record and listen to voice notes-audio recordings you send like a text. From house-party bathrooms to internet culture, voice notes are having a moment. Like all tech trends, the popularity of voice notes tells us about the connections people thirst for. Voice notes, which the sender speaks out loud, got basic placement in Apple’s texting app Messages in 2014. Since then, they’ve been added to almost every major social media and messaging platform. To send one, you typically press and hold a microphone icon (图标), speak your mind and send it off. Depending on the app, you can review your note first, listen at a faster or slower speed, or go full circle and read an automated transcript (文字记录) of the note. People who rely on voice notes are convinced they solve a problem. For the burned out, they’re a break from looking at screens. For the busy, they offer the convenience of talking without the commitment of a phone call. Unlike calling on the phone, voice notes don’t demand immediate or lasting attention, said Leora Trub, who runs the Digital Media and Psychology Lab at Pace University. That makes voice notes just the right amount of vulnerable (脆弱) for young adults who, on the whole, have fewer friends than generations past, according to the Survey Center on American Life. “The voice note is this attempt to go back to calling, without actually calling.” Not everyone, however, is longing for a glimpse inside the mind of their loved ones. Annie Ridout, a writer in London, has three kids under 10 years old, and she feels a flash of frustration when friends send voice notes during her working hours. “I’m a busy working mum, and I don’t want people adding to my workload.” she said. That’s a problem with voice notes, said Pace University’s Trub. The recipient might not have time, interest or a pair of headphones. 8. Why is the example of Monica Gross used? A. To state closer connections. B. To prove people’s busyness. C. To explain an internet culture. D. To show the rise of voice notes. 9. What does the underlined words “burned out” mean in Para. 3? A. Motivated. B. Confused. C. Exhausted. D. Energized. 10. What is Para. 4 mainly about? A. The advantages of voice notes. B. The weakness of young adults. C. The need of immediate attention. D. The attempt of lasting calling. 11. Why does Annie Ridout dislike voice notes? A. They are favorites of her kids. B. They are disturbance to her work. C. They are problems of her friends. D. They are the workload of the writer. D Gout (痛风) is often associated with drinking too much or not eating healthily enough, but new research suggests genetics play more of a factor in developing the arthritic (患关节炎的) condition than previously thought. The research, carried out by an international team of scientists, looked at genetic data collected from 2.6 million people across 13 different groups of DNA data. That number included 120,295 people with “prevalent gout”. By comparing the genetic codes of the people with gout against the people without, the team found 377 specific DNA regions where there were variations specific to having the condition —149 of which hadn’t been previously linked to gout. While lifestyle and environmental factors are certainly still in play, the findings suggest genetics play a major role in determining whether or not someone gets gout — and the researchers think there may be more undiscovered genetic links still to be found, too. “Gout is a disease with a genetic basis and is not the fault of the sufferer — the myth that gout is caused by lifestyle or diet needs to be broken,” says epidemiologist Tony Merriman, from the University of Otago in New Zealand. Gout can come and go, but there are treatments available — and the authors behind the new study think misconceptions can put people off getting those treatments. That’s a real problem with cases of the condition rising and rising. “This widespread myth causes shame in people with gout, making some people more likely to suffer in silence and not go and see the doctor to get a preventive drug that lowers urate (尿酸) in the blood and will prevent their pain.” says Merriman. There are some limitations to the study: the majority of the data was from people of Europeans, and some records relied on the self-reporting of gout rather than the data from hospital. Nevertheless, it gives us a much better sense of a health problem that’s been making people suffering for centuries. “We hope that in time, better and more accessible treatments will become available with the new targets we identified.” says Merriman. 12. What is the new finding of the research on gout? A. It is caused by diet. B. It is just a myth. C. Genetics play a major role. D. Lifestyle causes it. 13. Why are people with gout unwilling to see the doctor according to Merriman? A. False belief in the cause of gout. B. Lack of confidence in themselves. C. Preference for preventive drugs. D. Doubt of effectiveness of treatments. 14. Which is the limitation of the study? A. Insufficient funds. B. Unscientific data. C. Ineffective methods. D. Undesirable conditions. 15. Which word best describes the author’s attitude to the research? A. Doubtful. B. Tolerant. C. Indifferent. D. Objective. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Polite Habits Job Interviewers Actually Dislike There’s no way around it: Job interviews are stressful. That goes for everyone. After all, that interview is your chance to make a good impression, and if you don’t, you can pretty much kiss that job goodbye. That’s why you want to be as professional and polite as possible, but you might not be as polite as you think you’ re being. ____16____. Being formal A formal situation calls for a few formalities. Your application letter should be professional, your conversation shouldn’t be too casual, and you should keep some private details private. ____17____. But the world has become increasingly informal, and being overly formal is an etiquette (礼节) mistake too. If a candidate is overly formal, it’s harder to connect with him/ her, build trust and analyse if he/ she matches the company’s culture. ____18____. It can be hard to talk about yourself, and highlighting your achievements may feel like bragging (吹嘘).

While this is expected in some workplaces, more and more companies now have casual environments. “You could appear out of touch with their culture if you show up in a suit and tie while your interviewers are wearing jeans,” Donovan says.

I am a former elementary school music teacher from Des Moines, Iowa. Robby was 11 years old when his mother (a single mom) dropped him off for his first piano lesson. Actually, I prefer that students (especially boys!) begin at an earlier age, which I explained to Robby. But Robby said that it had always been his mother’s dream to hear him play the piano. So I took him as a student. Over the months, he tried and tried, but it seemed hopeless. He just did not have any inborn ability. Then one day, Robby stopped coming to our lessons. I thought about calling him but assumed, because of his lack of ability, that he had decided to pursue something else. I also was glad that he stopped coming. He was a bad advertisement for my teaching! Several weeks later, I mailed to the student’s homes a flyer on the upcoming recital (音乐演奏会). To my surprise Robby (who received a flyer) asked me if he could be in the recital. I told him that the recital was for current pupils and because he had dropped out, he really did not qualify. He said that his mom had been sick and unable to take him to piano lessons but he was still practicing. “Miss Hondorf…I’ve just got to play!” he insisted. I don’t know what led me to allow him to play in the recital. Maybe it was his persistence or maybe it was something inside of me saying that it would be alright. The night for the recital came. The high school gym was packed with parents, friends and relatives. I put Robby up last in the program before I was to come up and thank all the students and play a finishing piece. I thought that any damage he would do would come at the end of the program and I could always save his poor performance through my “curtain closer”. Well, the recital went smoothly as expected. The students had been practicing and it showed. 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。 Then Robby came up on stage, and he pulled out the piano bench and began. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Moved in tears, I ran up on stage and put my arms around Robby in joy. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力: BCBCA BACBC BACAB BCAAC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
