Lantau Trail This 4.5km trail is rated as a challenging route requiring an average of 2h 32min to complete. During the trial, you will be able to reach the highest mountain — Lantau Peak. It’s recommended to bring plenty of water, snacks, and sturdy (结实的) footwear, and set off early in good weather. Ngong Ping Village Trail This 1.9km route takes an average of 30min to complete, which accounts for its easy rating. Ngong Ping Village has the largest Buddhism statues of its kind in the world. But you don’t need to be a Buddhist to enjoy a morning at the Tian Tan Buddha. It’s best to start off in the morning, but avoid a foggy or cloudy day. Sha Tin Trail It takes about 1h 47min to finish this moderately challenging 6.6km route: This trail features Hong Kong’s most unusual temple, the largest museum, and best shopping malls. Sha Tin may be considered “off the beaten track” for many visitors but for those with more than a short 3 or 4 days stay in HK, it can prove to be a very rewarding day trip. Cheung Chau Trail As a moderately challenging route, it takes an average of 3h 8min to complete 11.7km. Cheung Chau has been a major fishing port for centuries and still has a large fishing fleet. The scenic ferry journey is one of the highlights of visiting this island. 1. Which trail takes the shortest time? A. Cheung Chau Trail. B. Ngong Ping Village Trail. C. Sha Tin Trail. D. Lantau Trail. 2. What do Ngong Ping Village Trail and Sha Tin Trail have in common? A. They are physically demanding. B. They are for experienced walkers. C. They have a religious atmosphere. D. They include guided tours for visitors. 3. What can you experience during the Cheung Chau Trail? A. Appreciate fishery scenery. B. Buy meaningful souvenirs. C. Visit local museums. D. Enjoy peak scenery. B In Gaithersburg, Maryland this fall, art curator(馆长) Sandra Davis set 14 chairs on display in the Arts Barn’s professional art gallery. Each chair, handmade by a different artist, symbolized a mental health issue that the artist had personally confronted. Courtney Mohring’s chair, “Buttoned Up, ” was a black, high-backed chair coated in buttons and bunched fabric that communicated discomfort. And Davis herself had a piece in the exhibition — a rainbow-colored creation titled “Color Me Manic.” For many of the artists, it was an opportunity to try a medium that they had never attempted before. The exhibition — titled “Pull Up a Chair 2. 0” — was a kind of “sequel” to a similar showcase that Davis curated in 2022, which also featured hanidmade chairs. At the gallery, the artists came in to talk about their art, but the night soon transformed into a deeper conversation about the feelings of anxiety, loss, and isolation that Davis and her fellow artists had experienced at the beginning of the COVID: 19pandemic. “We had what we call an ‘artist roundtable,’ where each of the artists came to talk about what their inspiration was, what they were feeling when they were creating the chair, and it ended up feeling very much like a group therapy (治疗) session,” Davis said. This year, Davis wanted to reproduce that experience on a grander scale, by opening it up to the public and inviting guests to pull up a chair and talk about the art — and how it relates to their own mental health journeys. “We know the mental health conversation is top of mind,” Davis said. “We hear it in the news. We’re reading about it. We’re talking about it at school. But we haven’t really necessarily felt like it’s still a welcoming conversation.” But Davis believes we can slowly change those conversations for the better — and it starts with making space for them. 4. What is the purpose of the exhibition? A. To showcase the artistic talents of local artists. B. To celebrate the history and achievements of the gallery. C. To provide a platform for artists to experiment with new materials. D. To raise awareness and promote discussion about mental health issues. 5 What does the underlined word “sequel” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Substitute. B. Follow-up. C. Edition: D. Check-up. 6. What did Davis think of the “artist roundtable”? A. Productive. B. Traditional. C. Tiring. D. Educational. 7. How does “Pull Up a Chair 2. 0” differ from the 2022 exhibition? A. More interactive activities. B. Wider range of issues. C. Larger scale engagement. D. New themes explored. C Imagine you’re walking across rolling hills that stretch for miles, with warm sunshine and the chirping of birds all around. This peaceful scene is an increasingly rare one in the modern world. Our natural soundscapes are falling silent as bird populations decline. But does the silencing of our soundscapes matter to us? The short answer is yes. There is growing evidence about the health benefits of spending time in nature, including reducing risks of heart disease, diabetes and anxiety. Yet while the general benefits of being outside in nature may seem instinctive, the contributions of natural sounds to this are less understood. Our study explores the link between birdsong and people, specifically on English vineyards (葡萄园). We surveyed the experience of 186 wine-tour participants across three vineyards with varying soundscapes. We also enhanced some vineyard soundscapes with hidden speakers, which played the songs of five additional bird species. This was designed to see how participants’ engagement with nature would be affected by increasing the diversity of birds and songs. The results were fascinating. Visitors who experienced louder and more complex sounds — whether on vineyards with naturally richer soundscapes or on those we had enhanced — reported that they had enjoyed the sounds more. They also felt more connected to nature and more satisfied with their tour. With richer soundscapes, they felt more mindful and positive during the tours, reporting that they felt freer from work, routine and responsibility. Our study is a clear demonstration of the direct effect that birdsong has on our wellbeing. It shows that bird conservation could enhance our experience of spending time in nature and give rise to positive emotions. The world we experience today is unlike what our grandparents experienced. We are increasingly disconnected from nature, and nature’s benefits on our wellbeing are lessening as a result. What is most concerning is that these changes are accepted as the new norm. We hope our findings lead to more people thinking like Harrison, who concluded: It goes to show how important nature is for humanity on so many levels and hopefully a study like this supports more investment and help conserving as well as improving our natural soundscapes. 8. What phenomenon does the author describe in paragraph 1? A. Bird songs are increasingly popular. B. People enjoy interacting with nature. C. Bird songs are hard to hear nowadays. D. Modernization leads to the extinction of bird species. 9. What does the study focus on? A. The impact of birdsong on human well-being. B. The use of technology in vineyard management. C. The role of vineyards in enhancing visitor experiences. D. The relationship between wine production and tourism. 10. What does the author hope the study will achieve? A. Greater awareness of the critical state of bird species. B. Standardization of soundscape measurement techniques. C. An increase in the number of bird species in urban areas. D. A stronger commitment to preserving natural soundscapes. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. How do we live happily without birdsong? B. Why birdsong matters more than you think? C. Could artificial birdsong serve the same purpose? D. What can we do to promote tourism in vineyards? D The next time you’re feeling depressed or angry at the world, ask yourself if you’ve really been dealt a poor hand — or if, just maybe, you were expecting too much. That’s one message that can be drawn from a recent study on entitlement, a personality trait characterized by exaggerated feelings of deservingness and superiority. Entitlement may lead to constant disappointment, say researchers from Case Western Reserve University. The authors reached these conclusions after analyzing more than 170 academic papers. They found that people who possess high levels. of entitlement consistently fall victim to a three-part cycle: First, they don’t always get everything they think they deserve, leaving them constantly vulnerable to unmet expectations. Those unmet expectations are then perceived as injustices, leading to emotions like anger and sadness. Finally, to justify those emotions, entitled people reassure themselves of their own specialness. This helps them feel better temporarily, but ultimately starts the process all over again. At extreme levels, entitled people repeatedly expose themselves to the risk of feeling frustrated and disappointed with life. They also tend to suffer from poor relationships, interpersonal conflicts, and depression, says co-author Julie Exline, PhD, a professor of psychological sciences at Case Western Reserve. “So much of entitlement is about competition — being better or more deserving than other people, ”she told Health. com. “It really sets in opposition to society, and it can be very isolating. ” “It’s not easy for true narcissists (自恋者) to see themselves for what they are, or to change their way of thinking.” Exline says. But she does believe that, for many well-intentioned people, feelings of entitlement can be controlled. “Conditioning yourself to think about other people and what they deserve — and also being willing to admit your own faults and weaknesses — can help you feel more connected to others, ” she says. We should be also aware that not all feelings of entitlement are wrong or bad: We shouldn’t just lower our standards or stop expecting things we truly do deserve, just so we can be happier. But if you do notice that you’ve developed an overblown sense of self — and it’s causing you to be annoyed or not get along with others — you can definitely try to do something about it. 12. What causes entitled people to be trapped in a three-part cycle? A. Consistent negative emotions. B. A strong sense of self-awareness. C. Constant self-pity and helplessness. D. Unrealistic expectations and frustration. 13. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. The reason for entitlement. B. The benefits of competition. C. The negative effects of entitlement. D. The importance of connecting with others. 14. What might be Exline’s suggestion for entitled people? A. Change your mindset to one of competitiveness. B. Focus on your own achievements and superiority. C. Prioritize personal goals over considering others’ needs. D. Place yourself into others’ position and reflect on yourself. 15. Which word best describes the author’s attitude to entitlement? A. Balanced. B. Critical. C. Supportive. D. Tolerant. 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。 Leeny stood in the chicken coop (鸡笼), shovel (铲子) in hand, a huge grin spreading across her face.

No longer a shy first grader, he felt confident and ready to tackle new challenges. However, there was one person he hoped to avoid: Jessica Hart. She was loud, bossy, and always made fun of him. Even though it was a new year, Jared was sure she wouldn’t change. When he entered the classroom, he saw Jessica sitting by the window, laughing and talking loudly. Jared rolled his eyes and took a seat, hoping to stay out of her way. He focused on his work all day, determined to avoid any interaction with her. But fate, it seemed, had other plans. During recess (课间休息), as Jared was walking to the swings, he noticed Jessica standing by the big oak tree, her hands on her hips, looking upset. She was staring at something in the tree. Jared approached cautiously, wondering what was going on. “What’s wrong, Jessica?” he asked, trying to sound as uninterested as possible. Jessica looked up, her face filled with panic. “The kittens! They’re stuck in the tree!” Jared frowned, looking up at the tall oak. Sure enough, settled on one of the highest branches, were two tiny kittens, mewing helplessly. Jessica’s face turned red with embarrassment. “I was trying to climb up to get them, but they keep climbing higher!” she explained, her voice trembling. “I don’t know what to do!” Jared hesitated. He hadn’t planned on being the hero today. He had barely spoken to Jessica outside of the classroom, let alone had any reason to help her. But the sound of those helpless little kittens made something in him change. “I’ll help,” he said before he could think twice. Jessica stared at him in surprise. “You? But you don’t even like me!” Jared shrugged. “Maybe I don’t like you, but I can’t just leave the kittens up there.” 注意：(1)续写词数应为150左右； (2)开头已给出。 With determination, Jared approached the tree. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ From that moment on, something shifted between them. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1—5 CABAA 6—10 BCACB 11—15 BCBCA 16—20 CAABC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2025年湖北云学名校联盟高三年级2月联考 英语试卷 考试时间：2025年2月18日08: 00-10: 00 时长：120分钟 试卷满分：150分 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.

Each chair, handmade by a different artist, symbolized a mental health issue that the artist had personally confronted. Courtney Mohring’s chair, “Buttoned Up, ” was a black, high-backed chair coated in buttons and bunched fabric that communicated discomfort. And Davis herself had a piece in the exhibition — a rainbow-colored creation titled “Color Me Manic.” For many of the artists, it was an opportunity to try a medium that they had never attempted before. The exhibition — titled “Pull Up a Chair 2. 0” — was a kind of “sequel” to a similar showcase that Davis curated in 2022, which also featured hanidmade chairs. At the gallery, the artists came in to talk about their art, but the night soon transformed into a deeper conversation about the feelings of anxiety, loss, and isolation that Davis and her fellow artists had experienced at the beginning of the COVID: 19pandemic. “We had what we call an ‘artist roundtable,’ where each of the artists came to talk about what their inspiration was, what they were feeling when they were creating the chair, and it ended up feeling very much like a group therapy (治疗) session,” Davis said. This year, Davis wanted to reproduce that experience on a grander scale, by opening it up to the public and inviting guests to pull up a chair and talk about the art — and how it relates to their own mental health journeys. “We know the mental health conversation is top of mind,” Davis said. “We hear it in the news. We’re reading about it. We’re talking about it at school. But we haven’t really necessarily felt like it’s still a welcoming conversation.” But Davis believes we can slowly change those conversations for the better — and it starts with making space for them. 4. What is the purpose of the exhibition? A. To showcase the artistic talents of local artists. B. To celebrate the history and achievements of the gallery. C. To provide a platform for artists to experiment with new materials. D. To raise awareness and promote discussion about mental health issues. 5. What does the underlined word “sequel” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Substitute. B. Follow-up. C. Edition: D. Check-up. 6. What did Davis think of the “artist roundtable”? A. Productive. B. Traditional. C. Tiring. D. Educational. 7. How does “Pull Up a Chair 2. 0” differ from the 2022 exhibition? A. More interactive activities. B. Wider range of issues. C. Larger scale engagement. D. New themes explored. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道，主要介绍了在马里兰州盖瑟斯堡的艺术展览“Pull Up a Chair 2.0”。这个展览由艺术馆馆长Sandra Davis策划，旨在通过手工制椅子来表达艺术家们面临的心理健康问题，并促进大众对心理健康话题的讨论和交流。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段中“Each chair, handmade by a different artist, symbolized a mental health issue that the artist had personally confronted.(每把椅子都是由不同的艺术家手工制作的，象征着艺术家们亲身面对的一种心理健康问题)”以及第四段中“…by opening it up to the public and inviting guests to pull up a chair and talk about the art — and how it relates to their own mental health journeys.(通过向公众开放，并邀请客人拉过一把椅子，谈论艺术和他们自己的心理健康道路之间的关系)”可知，这个展览的目的是引发大家对心理健康问题的关注和讨论。故选D。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第三段中“The exhibition — titled “Pull Up a Chair 2. 0” — was a kind of “sequel” to a similar showcase that Davis curated in 2022, which also featured hanidmade chairs.(名为“Pull Up a Chair 2. 0”的展览是Davis在2022年策划的一个类似展示的某种 “sequel”，那个展示也以手工椅子为特色）可知，那个展示也以手工椅子为特色，这表明它是前一个展览的延续内容。所以“sequel”指的是“后续”或“续集”。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。 根据第四段Davis所说“We had what we call an ‘artist roundtable,’ where each of the artists came to talk about what their inspiration was, what they were feeling when they were creating the chair, and it ended up feeling very much like a group therapy (治疗) session.(我们有一个叫做“艺术家圆桌会议”的会议，每个艺术家都来讨论他们的灵感是什么，他们在创作椅子时的感受是什么，最后感觉就像一个团体治疗会议)”可知，从 Davis 的话中可以看出，艺术家们在 “artist roundtable” 上分享了创作椅子的灵感和感受，整个过程感觉非常像一个团体治疗会。这表明这个活动是富有成效的，促进了艺术家之间的交流和情感表达，有助于他们共同探讨心理健康问题。Davis认为 “artist roundtable” 是富有成效的，故选 A。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“This year, Davis wanted to reproduce that experience on a grander scale, by opening it up to the public and inviting guests to pull up a chair and talk about the art—and how it relates to their own mental health journeys. (今年，Davis想在更大的范围内重现这种体验，向公众开放，邀请客人拉一把椅子，谈论艺术，以及它与他们自己的心理健康之旅的关系)”可以看出， “Pull Up a Chair 2. 0” 与2022年的展览相比，最大的不同在于 Davis希望将2022年的体验以更大规模的方式呈现，通过向公众开放并邀请客人参与讨论艺术以及它与他们自身心理健康旅程的关系，即扩大了参与的规模和范围。故选选C。 C Imagine you’re walking across rolling hills that stretch for miles, with warm sunshine and the chirping of birds all around. This peaceful scene is an increasingly rare one in the modern world. Our natural soundscapes are falling silent as bird populations decline. But does the silencing of our soundscapes matter to us? The short answer is yes. There is growing evidence about the health benefits of spending time in nature, including reducing risks of heart disease, diabetes and anxiety. Yet while the general benefits of being outside in nature may seem instinctive, the contributions of natural sounds to this are less understood. Our study explores the link between birdsong and people, specifically on English vineyards (葡萄园). We surveyed the experience of 186 wine-tour participants across three vineyards with varying soundscapes. We also enhanced some vineyard soundscapes with hidden speakers, which played the songs of five additional bird species. This was designed to see how participants’ engagement with nature would be affected by increasing the diversity of birds and songs. The results were fascinating. Visitors who experienced louder and more complex sounds — whether on vineyards with naturally richer soundscapes or on those we had enhanced — reported that they had enjoyed the sounds more. They also felt more connected to nature and more satisfied with their tour. With richer soundscapes, they felt more mindful and positive during the tours, reporting that they felt freer from work, routine and responsibility. Our study is a clear demonstration of the direct effect that birdsong has on our wellbeing. It shows that bird conservation could enhance our experience of spending time in nature and give rise to positive emotions. The world we experience today is unlike what our grandparents experienced. We are increasingly disconnected from nature, and nature’s benefits on our wellbeing are lessening as a result. What is most concerning is that these changes are accepted as the new norm. We hope our findings lead to more people thinking like Harrison, who concluded: It goes to show how important nature is for humanity on so many levels and hopefully a study like this supports more investment and help conserving as well as improving our natural soundscapes. 8. What phenomenon does the author describe in paragraph 1? A. Bird songs are increasingly popular. B. People enjoy interacting with nature. C. Bird songs are hard to hear nowadays. D. Modernization leads to the extinction of bird species. 9. What does the study focus on? A. The impact of birdsong on human well-being. B. The use of technology in vineyard management. C. The role of vineyards in enhancing visitor experiences. D. The relationship between wine production and tourism. 10. What does the author hope the study will achieve? A. Greater awareness of the critical state of bird species. B. Standardization of soundscape measurement techniques. C. An increase in the number of bird species in urban areas. D. A stronger commitment to preserving natural soundscapes. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. How do we live happily without birdsong? B. Why birdsong matters more than you think? C. Could artificial birdsong serve the same purpose? D. What can we do to promote tourism in vineyards? 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍的是鸟鸣对人类福祉的重要性及其保护意义。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Imagine you’re walking across rolling hills that stretch for miles, with warm sunshine and the chirping of birds all around. This peaceful scene is an increasingly rare one in the modern world. Our natural soundscapes are falling silent as bird populations decline.(想象一下，你正走在绵延数英里的连绵起伏的山丘上，周围是温暖的阳光和啾啾的鸟儿。这种宁静的景象在现代社会越来越罕见。随着鸟类数量的减少，我们的自然声音景观正在变得沉默。)”可知，第一段提到自然声景因鸟类减少而逐渐沉寂的现象，即现在很难听到鸟鸣。故选C项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“Our study explores the link between birdsong and people, specifically on English vineyards.(我们的研究探讨了鸟鸣和人之间的联系，特别是在英国的葡萄园。)”和第五段第一句“Our study is a clear demonstration of the direct effect that birdsong has on our wellbeing.(我们的研究清楚地证明了鸟鸣对我们健康的直接影响。)”可知，这项研究的重点是鸟鸣对人类福祉的影响。故选A项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“We hope our findings lead to more people thinking like Harrison, who concluded: It goes to show how important nature is for humanity on so many levels and hopefully a study like this supports more investment and help conserving as well as improving our natural soundscapes.(我们希望我们的发现能让更多的人像哈里森一样思考，他的结论是：这表明自然在很多层面上对人类有多重要，希望这样的研究能支持更多的投资，帮助保护和改善我们的自然音景。)”可知，作者希望这项研究能促使人们更多投资和保护自然声景。故选D项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容可知，文章核心是论证鸟鸣对人类福祉的重要性及其保护意义。B项“Why birdsong matters more than you think?(为什么鸟鸣比你想象的更重要？)”以反问形式突出主题，最贴合文意。故选B项。 D The next time you’re feeling depressed or angry at the world, ask yourself if you’ve really been dealt a poor hand — or if, just maybe, you were expecting too much. That’s one message that can be drawn from a recent study on entitlement, a personality trait characterized by exaggerated feelings of deservingness and superiority. Entitlement may lead to constant disappointment, say researchers from Case Western Reserve University. The authors reached these conclusions after analyzing more than 170 academic papers. They found that people who possess high levels. of entitlement consistently fall victim to a three-part cycle: First, they don’t always get everything they think they deserve, leaving them constantly vulnerable to unmet expectations. Those unmet expectations are then perceived as injustices, leading to emotions like anger and sadness. Finally, to justify those emotions, entitled people reassure themselves of their own specialness. This helps them feel better temporarily, but ultimately starts the process all over again. At extreme levels, entitled people repeatedly expose themselves to the risk of feeling frustrated and disappointed with life. They also tend to suffer from poor relationships, interpersonal conflicts, and depression, says co-author Julie Exline, PhD, a professor of psychological sciences at Case Western Reserve. “So much of entitlement is about competition — being better or more deserving than other people, ”she told Health. com. “It really sets in opposition to society, and it can be very isolating. ” “It’s not easy for true narcissists (自恋者) to see themselves for what they are, or to change their way of thinking.” Exline says. But she does believe that, for many well-intentioned people, feelings of entitlement can be controlled. “Conditioning yourself to think about other people and what they deserve — and also being willing to admit your own faults and weaknesses — can help you feel more connected to others, ” she says. We should be also aware that not all feelings of entitlement are wrong or bad: We shouldn’t just lower our standards or stop expecting things we truly do deserve, just so we can be happier. But if you do notice that you’ve developed an overblown sense of self — and it’s causing you to be annoyed or not get along with others — you can definitely try to do something about it. 12. What causes entitled people to be trapped in a three-part cycle? A. Consistent negative emotions. B. A strong sense of self-awareness. C. Constant self-pity and helplessness. D. Unrealistic expectations and frustration. 13. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. The reason for entitlement. B. The benefits of competition. C. The negative effects of entitlement. D. The importance of connecting with others. 14. What might be Exline’s suggestion for entitled people? A. Change your mindset to one of competitiveness. B. Focus on your own achievements and superiority. C. Prioritize personal goals over considering others’ needs. D. Place yourself into others’ position and reflect on yourself. 15. Which word best describes the author’s attitude to entitlement? A. Balanced. B. Critical. C. Supportive. D. Tolerant. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章探讨了“配得感”(entitlement)这一人格特质，它以过分的应得感和优越感为特征。文章强调，虽然配得感可能导致问题，但并非所有配得感都是错误的，关键在于平衡期望与现实，以及学会考虑他人的需求和感受。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“They found that people who possess high levels. of entitlement consistently fall victim to a three-part cycle: First, they don’t always get everything they think they deserve, leaving them constantly vulnerable to unmet expectations. Those unmet expectations are then perceived as injustices, leading to emotions like anger and sadness. Finally, to justify those emotions, entitled people reassure themselves of their own specialness. This helps them feel better temporarily, but ultimately starts the process all over again.(他们发现拥有高水平的人。他们总是会陷入一个由三部分组成的循环：首先，他们并不总是得到他们认为应得的一切，这让他们总是容易受到无法实现的期望的伤害。这些未满足的期望被认为是不公平的，导致愤怒和悲伤等情绪。最后，为了证明这些情绪是合理的，有权利的人对自己的特殊性进行了自我安慰。这会让他们暂时感觉好一些，但最终还是会重新开始这个过程)” 可知，是不切实际的期望和挫折感导致了他们落入三部曲循环中。故选D。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“At extreme levels, entitled people repeatedly expose themselves to the risk of feeling frustrated and disappointed with life. They also tend to suffer from poor relationships, interpersonal conflicts, and depression, says co-author Julie Exline, PhD.(在极端情况下，配得感的人往往反复让自己感到沮丧和对生活失望。他们还有糟糕的人际关系、冲突以及抑郁问题)”可知，第三段主要讨论了配得感的负面影响，包括导致人际关系差、人际冲突和抑郁。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“Conditioning yourself to think about other people and what they deserve — and also being willing to admit your own faults and weaknesses—can help you feel more connected to others.(让自己去思考他人及他们的需要，同时愿意承认自己的缺点和弱点，可以帮助你与他人建立更深的联系。）可知，Exline的建议是要站在他人立场上思考问题，并进行自我反思。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“We should be also aware that not all feelings of entitlement are wrong or bad: We shouldn’t just lower our standards or stop expecting things we truly do deserve, just so we can be happier. But if you do notice that you’ve developed an overblown sense of self — and it’s causing you to be annoyed or not get along with others — you can definitely try to do something about it.(我们也应该意识到，并非所有的配得感都是错误的或不好的：我们不应该降低我们的标准或停止期待我们真正应得的东西，只是为了让我们更快乐。但是，如果你确实注意到你已经形成了一种过度的自我意识，并且它导致你感到烦恼或无法与他人相处——你绝对可以尝试做些什么)”可知，作者提倡对配得感有一个全面的看法，既不全盘否定，也不盲目肯定，而是寻求一个平衡点。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。 Leeny stood in the chicken coop (鸡笼), shovel (铲子) in hand, a huge grin spreading across her face. She was not faking it: My 7-year-old was having fun cleaning out the chicken coop. ___16___ But I’d meant the chore to be punishment for losing a library book. So, was I winning or losing at parenting? ___17___ She even took to reading in the car on the long drive to summer camp, which was where she lost the book. This is the first lost library book in my life. When I was a child, I didn’t own books — I borrowed them. My library books lived on a specific shelf on my headboard until they had to be returned. And it pained me when I had to slide them into the return slot (空位) at the library. However, my daughter has more books now than I ever had in my entire childhood. She didn’t seem the least sorry for the missing library book. ___18___ So I suggested that she help me clean the dirty chicken coop, and in return, I would cover the library fine. She agreed. To my surprise, she was absolutely enjoying shoveling chicken poop. I stood there, somewhat dumbfounded, watching her. She did not feel shame, regret, or responsibility for the lost library book at all. ___19___ It took me a while to realize what had happened, why my punishment had backfired so completely and why I didn’t care. Leeny’s little sister, Vicki, was inside watching a cartoon while my husband paid bills. ___20___ She had me all to herself for the first time since Vicki was born. We spent quality time together: mother, daughter, and chicken poop. A. Only Leeny and I were outside. B. I thought this idea was very clever. C. I was happy she was enjoying herself. D. My daughter always has her nose in a book. E. I felt the need to make her take responsibility for it. F. The best part may be that my daughter thinks we should clean out the coop every season. G.

A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者将清理鸡舍的任务作为对女儿丢失图书馆书籍的惩罚，却意外发现女儿乐在其中。通过这次经历，作者反思了惩罚的真正意义，并意识到与女儿共度的宝贵时光远胜于惩罚本身。 【16题详解】 根据前文“She was not faking it: My 7-year-old was having fun cleaning out the chicken coop. (她可不是装出来的：我7岁的孩子在清理鸡舍时玩得很开心。)”可知，这一幕应是作者看到的情况，孩子玩的很开心。又根据后文“But I’d meant the chore to be punishment for losing a library book.

(因此，我建议她帮我清理那个脏兮兮的鸡舍，作为回报，我会支付图书馆的罚款。)”是作者具体的决定，这说明两句中间的空处应是描写作者想要让女儿承担责任的心理想法的过渡句。E选项“我觉得有必要让她为此承担责任。”满足要求，能承上启下。故选E。 【19题详解】 根据前文“To my surprise, she was absolutely enjoying shoveling chicken poop. (令我惊讶的是，她绝对是很享受清理鸡舍的活动。)可看出，作者也没想到女儿并不觉得这是惩罚，反而乐在其中。空处设置在本段末尾，应是既总结没想到女儿的此种反应，又进一步描写作者出乎意料的心理的句子。G选项“实际上，她看起来似乎有可能为了再次清理鸡舍，而故意再弄丢一本书。”符合语境。故选G。 【20题详解】 根据前文“Leeny’s little sister, Vicki, was inside watching a cartoon while my husband paid bills.

No longer a shy first grader, he felt confident and ready to tackle new challenges. However, there was one person he hoped to avoid: Jessica Hart. She was loud, bossy, and always made fun of him. Even though it was a new year, Jared was sure she wouldn’t change. When he entered the classroom, he saw Jessica sitting by the window, laughing and talking loudly. Jared rolled his eyes and took a seat, hoping to stay out of her way. He focused on his work all day, determined to avoid any interaction with her. But fate, it seemed, had other plans. During recess (课间休息), as Jared was walking to the swings, he noticed Jessica standing by the big oak tree, her hands on her hips, looking upset. She was staring at something in the tree. Jared approached cautiously, wondering what was going on. “What’s wrong, Jessica?” he asked, trying to sound as uninterested as possible. Jessica looked up, her face filled with panic. “The kittens! They’re stuck in the tree!” Jared frowned, looking up at the tall oak. Sure enough, settled on one of the highest branches, were two tiny kittens, mewing helplessly. Jessica’s face turned red with embarrassment. “I was trying to climb up to get them, but they keep climbing higher!” she explained, her voice trembling. “I don’t know what to do!” Jared hesitated. He hadn’t planned on being the hero today. He had barely spoken to Jessica outside of the classroom, let alone had any reason to help her. But the sound of those helpless little kittens made something in him change. “I’ll help,” he said before he could think twice. Jessica stared at him in surprise. “You? But you don’t even like me!” Jared shrugged. “Maybe I don’t like you, but I can’t just leave the kittens up there.” 注意：(1)续写词数应为150左右； (2)开头已给出。 With determination, Jared approached the tree. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ From that moment on, something shifted between them. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 With determination, Jared approached the tree. Carefully, he started to climb, his heart racing as he reached for each branch. Jessica watched below, her face filled with concern. When Jared finally reached the kittens, he gently gathered the frightened kittens, carefully making his way back down. As soon as he reached the ground, Jessica rushed over, her face glowing with gratitude. “Thank you, Jared! I was so worried!” she said. Jared smiled, feeling a sense of pride he hadn’t expected. “It was no big deal.” Jessica’s eyes softened, and for the first time, she looked at Jared with respect. From that moment on, something shifted between them. Their tension disappeared as if it had never existed. The next day, Jessica came over during recess and sat next to Jared. They chatted about everything — school, hobbies, and even shared their favorite games to play. Jared discovered that Jessica wasn’t as bad as he had thought. She was funny, kind, and, as it turned out, she loved animals just as much as he did. Their bond was sealed, not by words, but by the kindness shown that day — the day Jared saved the kittens. 【解析】 【导语】本文通过以人物为线索，讲述了Jared在二年级第一天中意外帮助Jessica解救困在树上的小猫，打破了他们之间的隔阂，形成新的友谊。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Jared下定决心，走近那棵树。”可知，第一段可描写Jared开始攀爬到拯救小猫的过程以及Jessica的感激 。 ②由第二段首句内容“从那一刻起，他们之间发生了某种变化”可知，第二段可描写Jared成功救下小猫后他们之间成为了好朋友，以及这种转变的原因。 2.续写线索：Jared救猫——Jessica——感激——成为好朋友——转变的原因 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①跳动：race/ pound ②喜欢：love/fall in love with ③着陆：reach /land ④期望：expect/anticipate 情绪类 ①害怕的： frightened /scared ②担忧的：worried/concerned 【点睛】[高分句型1] When Jared finally reached the kittens, he gently gathered the frightened kittens, carefully making his way back down.
