Hearing aids can now be sold without a prescription from a specialist. Over-the-counter, or OTC, hearing aids started hitting the market in October at prices that can be thousands of dollars lower than prescription hearing aids. About 30 million people in the United States suffer from hearing loss, according to the Food and Drug Administration. But only about 20% of those who could use a hearing aid seek help. Here’s a closer look: Who might be helped: The FDA approved OTC hearing aids for people with mild-to-moderate hearing loss. That can include people who have trouble hearing phone calls or who turn up the TV volume so loud that others complain. It also can include people who have trouble understanding group conversations in noisy places. OTC hearing aids aren’t intended for people with deeper hearing loss, which may include those who have trouble hearing louder noises, like power tools and cars. Hearing test: Before over-the-counter, you usually needed to get your hearing tested and buy hearing aids from a specialist. That’s no longer the case. But it can be hard for people to measure their own hearing. You can still choose to see a specialist just for that test, which is often covered by insurance, and then buy the aids on your own. There also are a number of apps and questionnaires available to determine whether you need help. Who’s selling: Several major retailers now offer OTC hearing aids online and on store shelves. Walgreens drugstores, for example, are selling Lexie Lumen hearing aids nationwide for $799. Walmart offers OTC hearing aids ranging from about $200 to $1,000 per pair. Its health centers will provide hearing tests. The consumer electronics chain Best Buy has OTC hearing aids available online and in nearly 300 stores. Cost: Most OTC hearing aids will cost between $500 and $1,500 for a pair, though some may run up to $3,000. 1. Which of the following can not be helped by the hearing aids? A. Tom who is unable to hear the noise of power tools. B. Messy who can’t make out regular phone calls clearly. C Jack who needs to turn up the TV volume louder than others do. D. Poppy who can’t understand group conversations in noisy places. 2. What can we know from the text? A. OTC hearing aids are only available online. B. The prices of OTC hearing aids vary considerably. C. Hearing tests will be provided at every selling spot. D. OTC hearing aids offered by Walmart are the most expensive. 3. Which section of the newspaper is this passage probably from? A. Health. B. Economy. C. Education. D. Entertainment. B My wife Gillian and I started convincing ourselves to buy the farm as soon as we got in the car. Over the years we have become experts in talking ourselves into things that normal people would think crazy, both of us having developed a deep knowledge of each other’s craziest buttons, and how best to push them. Gillian and I are very different in many ways, but we both have the ability to drop everything and take a chance. Unfortunately, we also have the ability to view buying a poor farm as an opportunity. The main block was financial. We simply couldn’t afford the $350, 000 asking price. It took us a couple of days to think our way around this obstacle. We eventually came up with a strategy: we would put in a lowball (低报价) offer and we would move to the farm. That would allow us to rent out our apartment in Toronto, freeing up cash to make mortgage payments (按揭贷款) on the farm. But I didn’t think the owner would accept less than his asking price. We wrote up the offer, convinced the owner would say no. A few days later, I was walking to the office, and had almost completely forgotten about our stupid attempt to buy a farm. My phone rang. It was Gillian. “We got it,” she said. I stopped in the middle of the street, speechless. As I went home that night, I started to feel that moving to the farm was meant to be. I had recently found myself looking around at the people sitting silently on the subway or walking hurriedly in and-out of the office and asking myself, “What’s the point?” I realized that the times I was the most happy were the times when I was not sitting at a desk, when I was outside the city. It didn’t matter where I was; I loved to get dirty, to do things. But I had come to suppress (抑制) that side of me. Finally I changed my view and decided to leave the city and move to the farm. 4. What do Gillian and the author have in common? A. They are skillful at farming. B. They are creative in their work. C. They make unconventional decisions. D. They have the same educational background. 5. What does the underlined word “obstacle” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. Challenge. B. Method. C. Mistake. D. Failure. 6. How did the author react to Gillian’s phone call? A. He paid no attention. B. He tried to find a way out. C. He was shocked by the news. D. He chose to contact the owner. 7. What lesson can be learned from the story? A. He who makes no mistakes makes nothing. B. One cannot succeed without time and practice. C. Luck talent and family, help to achieve success. D. Find the courage to follow your own path in life. C The message is drummed into us from childhood: forgive people who’ve wronged you, because it’s the right thing to do. Forgiveness is a virtue, we’ re told, the only way for us to truly move on and heal. But forgiving someone is not always what’s best for us. In fact, if someone has hurt you deeply and the relationship isn’t healthy, trying to “fix” things can do more harm than good. Most of us would probably agree that forgiving a wrongdoer means letting go of negative feelings like anger towards them. Actually it pressures us to minimize our feelings and revise our boundaries — to say “it’s OK” when for us, it isn’t. And when someone doesn’t make us feel seen or safe, forgiving them can actually weaken our self-respect. A 2010 research paper published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology called this “the doormat effect”. It found that people who forgave partners that didn’t make them feel valued had less respect for themselves, along with a weakened sense of self. If you keep on forgiving someone who’s done wrong, it can encourage that person to keep hurting you. That’s what 2011 research by psychology professor James K McNulty argues. He looked at how 72 newlywed couples expressed forgiveness towards acts of aggression(攻击性), and whether this caused any changes in the wrongdoer’s behaviour. He found that when a partner was more likely to forgive those acts, the aggressor was more likely to keep committing them. This is because facing the consequences of their actions is what motivates people to change their ways, and being offered a clean sheet can allow them to avoid making changes. Forgiving frequent and major offenses (冒犯), like verbal or physical abuse, can do more harm than good. What if we didn’t see forgiveness as a quick fix, like a magic medicine, and instead, we tried to just accept what’s happened as it is. By doing this, we can concentrate on understanding what really went down and deal with it in our own way, without feeling like we owe anything to the person who hurt us. It won’t be easy, for sure, but at least it’s all about us and what we need to heal. 8. What will happen if we forgive a wrongdoer according to “the doormat effect”? A. We’ll be free from negative thoughts. B. The relationship will be strengthened. C. The wrongdoer will change his behavior. D. We’ll have less self-respect and self-awareness. 9. How does the writer mainly illustrate his argument? A. By making comparisons. B. By listing examples. C. By citing research results. D. By giving definitions. 10. What can be concluded from James K McNulty’s research? A. Forgiving a wrongdoer’s behavior stops him from hurting others. B. Facing the consequences of aggression does more harm than good. C. Ignoring major offenses encourages a wrongdoer’s acts of aggression. D. Forgiving frequent aggression prevents a wrongdoer from making changes. 11. What does the writer suggest readers do? A. Forgive and forget. B. Learn to take the situation as it is. C. Center on yourself. D. Keep on good terms with offenders. D What is news? The Oxford English Dictionary describes it as: “The report or account of recent events.” However, a lot of reported news is bad or negative. This is both disheartening and unrealistic, creating an unbalanced representation of what’s going on in the world. Understanding why this happens, and knowing how to discover the problems it causes, helps to lessen its influence. It’s important to remember that many news organizations aren’t just a public information service. Most need to attract readers, viewers, or listeners in a competitive market. So the stories they choose to cover are those that attract the largest audience. So why do stories of suffering and sadness draw the biggest crowds? According to a 2022 study, there are evolutionary reasons why bad news is hard to avoid. Our brains are programmed to focus on possible threats to help avoid danger. Concentrating on risks enabled early humans to survive. The difference between then and now is that the threats our ancestors dealt with were local, life-threatening and short-lived. Today’s news is seldom immediately life-threatening, but it can excite the same processes, as the mind and body prepare for action. This can lead to feelings of powerlessness and anxiety as people deal with information about dangers. Feeling pressure to keep up to date can lead to a high intake of negative news, which would influence well-being. Recent reports showed that around 63 percent of 12 to 18-year-olds in the US say that news makes them often or sometimes feel sad or upset. Feeling upset when bad things happen is a healthy, human response. If you do feel upset by anything you’ve read, seen, or heard, remember to treat yourself with compassion (同情). There’s no shame in taking a break. Don’t feel like you have to be aware of every story of suffering that’s happening or have to take action to make a difference. 12. What is the worry expressed in the text about news reporting? A. It meets the challenges of social media. B. It is losing popularity among young people. C. It often presents a negative view of the world. D. It is under the influence of leading news organizations. 13 Why is bad news attractive according to the 2022 research? A. It excites people’s curiosity. B. It reflects the reality of daily life. C. It creates a natural response in our brains. D. It is often carefully chosen through market research. 14. What is the author’s suggestion? A. Doing more reading. B. Going easy on yourself. C. Thinking before you believe. D. Showing compassion to others. 15. What can be the best title for the text? A. News Blues B. Bad News is Good News C. News That Changes D. Then or Now: News is the Answer 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。 Chinese are very generous when it comes to educating their children. Not caring about the money, parents often want to send their children to the best schools or even abroad to England, the United States and Australia. ____16____ The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is. So parents will spend an unreasonable amount of money on education. ____17____ However, what most parents fail to see is that the best early education given to their children is usually very cheap. ____18____ Some children are very skilled in some areas while poor in others. What most parents fail to realize though, is that today’s children are badly off for self-respect and self-confidence. The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take multiple — choice tests and how to study well, but parents are not teaching them the most important skills that they need to be confident, happy and clever. ____19____ For example, teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life. Cooking requires patience and time. It is an enjoyable but difficult experience. A good cook always tries to improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and gradually finish his job successfully step by step. The result, a well-cooked dinner, will give him much satisfaction and lots of self-confidence. Some old machines, such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your child to play with will make him curious and arouse his interest. He will spend hours looking at them, trying to repair them. ____20____ These activities are not only teaching a child to read a book, but rather to think, to use his mind. And that is more important. A. Parents can see that their children’s skills differ. B. Parents can achieve this by teaching practical skills. C. The more cost in education, the better the result will be. D. Your child might become an engineer when he grows up. E. Thus, parents usually think computers are more convenient for kids’ learning. F. For instance, even poor couples will buy a computer for their son or daughter. G. They also want their children to take extra-course activities to get a head start in life. 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、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 On a cold winter day, Dan took his dogs, Milo and Duke, out for their usual morning walk at Bark Park.

Andy and his brother Berlin were filled with excitement as they thought of visiting their grandparents again. The big day came at last. After the happy family got ready, they set out for the grandparents’ eagerly. On the way, the brothers were excitedly talking about the fun they had with grandparents. A little blue house with a tall white chimney finally appeared. Behind the house was the forest carrying their good memories with Grandpa. They arrived at the driveway, at the end of which Grandma was waiting for them joyfully. Andy and Berlin each gave Grandma a big hug and then swept to the living room, shouting excitedly “Grandpa, we are back!” Seeing his grandsons, Grandpa was wild with joy and tried to get up with all his strength from the chair but in vain. A helpless expression flashed on his face. Grandma explained that his health was declining rapidly and maybe couldn’t stand up on his own forever. But Grandpa declared stubbornly (倔强地), “I can!” Certainly, he was stuck in his boyish way. Mum and grandparents were happy to meet again after a long time. They sat together and chatted about what happened recently. The brothers were soon bored with adult conversation, went out and wandered into the forest. Tall trees stretched up to the heavens with large branches crossing each other, while young ones rose straight like soldiers. Grandpa was once an intelligent explorer. He could tell where the birds came from only by their calls and songs. The trees, birds, lizards, lots of bugs… How many merry moments they spent with Grandpa in the kingdom! But now Grandpa couldn’t get up. This made them worried. “We’d think out a way to cheer him up.” Andy said. “Grandpa is a bird lover, and we can catch him a bird.” Berlin suggested. “But he hates birds being caged!” Andy shook his head. Then a bright idea came to Andy’s mind. “Why not make a cane (拐杖) out of a young tree!” 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 Berlin thought it was a good idea. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Andy and Berlin handed the cane to Grandpa. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力：1-5BACAC 6-10CCACA 11-15CBABC 16-20BBAAC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024-2025学年第一学期期末学业水平检测 高二英语试题 2025.01 注意事项： 1. 本试卷分选择题和非选择题两部分。答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号在答题卡上填写清楚，并贴好条形码，请认真核准条形码的准考证号、姓名和科目。本试卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 2. 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，在试卷上作答无效。 3. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了美国非处方助听器的推出及其相关情况，包括适用人群、购买前的听力测试、销售渠道以及价格等信息。旨在帮助读者了解非处方助听器这一新产品，以及它如何为听力受损人士提供更多选择和便利。 【1题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章Who might be helped:部分中的“OTC hearing aids aren’t intended for people with deeper hearing loss, which may include those who have trouble hearing louder noises, like power tools and cars.(非处方助听器不适用于听力损失更严重的人群，这类人群可能难以听到诸如电动工具和汽车等较大的噪音。)”可知，非处方助听器不适用于听力损失更严重的人群。选项A“Tom who is unable to hear the noise of power tools.(无法听到电动工具的噪音的Tom)”可知，Tom无法听到电动工具的噪音，属于听力损失更严重的情况，不适合使用非处方助听器。故选A。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Most OTC hearing aids will cost between $500 and $1,500 for a pair, though some may run up to $3,000.(大多数非处方助听器每副售价在500美元至1500美元之间，不过有些可能高达3000美元。)”可知，非处方助听器的价格差异较大。故选B。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Hearing aids can now be sold without a prescription from a specialist. Over-the-counter, or OTC, hearing aids started hitting the market in October at prices that can be thousands of dollars lower than prescription hearing aids. About 30 million people in the United States suffer from hearing loss, according to the Food and Drug Administration. But only about 20% of those who could use a hearing aid seek help.(现在，助听器无需专科医生的处方即可出售。非处方（OTC）助听器于10月开始进入市场，其价格比处方助听器低数千美元。据美国食品药品监督管理局（FDA）称，美国约有3000万人患有听力损失，但在那些需要使用助听器的人中，只有约20%的人寻求帮助。)”可知，文章主要围绕非处方（OTC）助听器展开，介绍了其销售政策的变化、适用人群、听力测试、销售渠道以及价格等方面的信息，这些内容都与人们的听力健康以及获取听力辅助设备相关。属于健康版块的范畴。故选A。 B My wife Gillian and I started convincing ourselves to buy the farm as soon as we got in the car. Over the years we have become experts in talking ourselves into things that normal people would think crazy, both of us having developed a deep knowledge of each other’s craziest buttons, and how best to push them. Gillian and I are very different in many ways, but we both have the ability to drop everything and take a chance. Unfortunately, we also have the ability to view buying a poor farm as an opportunity. The main block was financial. We simply couldn’t afford the $350, 000 asking price. It took us a couple of days to think our way around this obstacle. We eventually came up with a strategy: we would put in a lowball (低报价) offer and we would move to the farm. That would allow us to rent out our apartment in Toronto, freeing up cash to make mortgage payments (按揭贷款) on the farm. But I didn’t think the owner would accept less than his asking price. We wrote up the offer, convinced the owner would say no. A few days later, I was walking to the office, and had almost completely forgotten about our stupid attempt to buy a farm. My phone rang. It was Gillian. “We got it,” she said. I stopped in the middle of the street, speechless. As I went home that night, I started to feel that moving to the farm was meant to be. I had recently found myself looking around at the people sitting silently on the subway or walking hurriedly in and-out of the office and asking myself, “What’s the point?” I realized that the times I was the most happy were the times when I was not sitting at a desk, when I was outside the city. It didn’t matter where I was; I loved to get dirty, to do things. But I had come to suppress (抑制) that side of me. Finally I changed my view and decided to leave the city and move to the farm. 4. What do Gillian and the author have in common? A. They are skillful at farming. B. They are creative in their work. C. They make unconventional decisions. D. They have the same educational background. 5. What does the underlined word “obstacle” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. Challenge. B. Method. C. Mistake. D. Failure. 6. How did the author react to Gillian’s phone call? A. He paid no attention. B. He tried to find a way out. C. He was shocked by the news. D. He chose to contact the owner. 7. What lesson can be learned from the story? A. He who makes no mistakes makes nothing. B. One cannot succeed without time and practice. C. Luck, talent and family, help to achieve success. D. Find the courage to follow your own path in life. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者和妻子吉莉安决定购买一个农场，虽面临资金问题，但仍尝试低报价购买，没想到竟成功了，作者也意识到自己内心向往农场生活，最终决定搬离城市前往农场。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Over the years we have become experts in talking ourselves into things that normal people would think crazy, both of us having developed a deep knowledge of each other’s craziest buttons, and how best to push them. Gillian and I are very different in many ways, but we both have the ability to drop everything and take a chance. (多年来，我们已经成为说服自己去做正常人会认为疯狂的事情的专家，我们俩都对彼此最疯狂的按钮以及如何最好地按下它们有了深入的了解。吉莉安和我在很多方面都很不一样，但我们都有能力放下一切，抓住机会。)”可知，吉莉安和作者都擅长了解对方最疯狂的想法，并且能够立即行动，抓住机会。这表明他们共同的特点是能够做出非常规的决定。故选C项。 【5题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第二段中的“The main block was financial. We simply couldn’t afford the $350, 000 asking price. (主要障碍是金融。我们根本负担不起35万美元的要价。)”可知，作者和妻子遇到的主要困难是资金短缺问题， 他们没有足够的资金购买农场。再根据第二段中“obstacle”所在的句子“It took us a couple of days to think our way around (我们花了几天时间才想办法绕过)可知，“obstacle”指代的就是前面提到的资金方面的困难，也就是一种 “挑战 (Challenge)”。故选A项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“We wrote up the offer, convinced the owner would say no. (我们写下了报价，确信农场主会拒绝。)”和第三段中的“My phone rang. It was Gillian. “We got it,” she said. I stopped in the middle of the street, speechless. (我的电话响了。是吉莉安。“我们得到了，”她说。我在街中央停了下来，说不出话来。)”可知, 作者本以为农场主不会降价, 但没想到最终竟然谈成了，作者被这个消息震惊到了。故选C项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“It didn’t matter where I was; I loved to get dirty, to do things. But I had come to suppress (抑制) that side of me.Finally I changed my view and decided to leave the city and move to the farm. (我在哪里并不重要；我喜欢弄脏东西，做事情。但我一直在压抑自己的那一面。最后，我改变了看法，决定离开城市搬到农场。)”可知，作者最终追随自己的梦想、听从自己的内心， 勇敢做出了决定，开启了自己向往已久的农村生活。因此，从故事中我们可以学到的教训是“Find the courage to follow your own path in life. (鼓起勇气，走自己的人生道路。)”。故选D项。 C The message is drummed into us from childhood: forgive people who’ve wronged you, because it’s the right thing to do. Forgiveness is a virtue, we’ re told, the only way for us to truly move on and heal. But forgiving someone is not always what’s best for us. In fact, if someone has hurt you deeply and the relationship isn’t healthy, trying to “fix” things can do more harm than good. Most of us would probably agree that forgiving a wrongdoer means letting go of negative feelings like anger towards them. Actually it pressures us to minimize our feelings and revise our boundaries — to say “it’s OK” when for us, it isn’t. And when someone doesn’t make us feel seen or safe, forgiving them can actually weaken our self-respect. A 2010 research paper published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology called this “the doormat effect”. It found that people who forgave partners that didn’t make them feel valued had less respect for themselves, along with a weakened sense of self. If you keep on forgiving someone who’s done wrong, it can encourage that person to keep hurting you. That’s what 2011 research by psychology professor James K McNulty argues. He looked at how 72 newlywed couples expressed forgiveness towards acts of aggression(攻击性), and whether this caused any changes in the wrongdoer’s behaviour. He found that when a partner was more likely to forgive those acts, the aggressor was more likely to keep committing them. This is because facing the consequences of their actions is what motivates people to change their ways, and being offered a clean sheet can allow them to avoid making changes. Forgiving frequent and major offenses (冒犯), like verbal or physical abuse, can do more harm than good. What if we didn’t see forgiveness as a quick fix, like a magic medicine, and instead, we tried to just accept what’s happened as it is. By doing this, we can concentrate on understanding what really went down and deal with it in our own way, without feeling like we owe anything to the person who hurt us. It won’t be easy, for sure, but at least it’s all about us and what we need to heal. 8. What will happen if we forgive a wrongdoer according to “the doormat effect”? A. We’ll be free from negative thoughts. B. The relationship will be strengthened. C. The wrongdoer will change his behavior. D. We’ll have less self-respect and self-awareness. 9. How does the writer mainly illustrate his argument? A. By making comparisons. B. By listing examples. C. By citing research results. D. By giving definitions. 10. What can be concluded from James K McNulty’s research? A. Forgiving a wrongdoer’s behavior stops him from hurting others. B. Facing the consequences of aggression does more harm than good. C. Ignoring major offenses encourages a wrongdoer’s acts of aggression. D. Forgiving frequent aggression prevents a wrongdoer from making changes. 11. What does the writer suggest readers do? A. Forgive and forget. B. Learn to take the situation as it is. C. Center on yourself. D. Keep on good terms with offenders. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了关于“原谅”的话题，指出虽然传统观念认为原谅是一种美德，有助于个人成长和恢复，但在某些情况下，过度的原谅可能并不利于个人健康和自尊心的维护。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“A 2010 research paper published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology called this “the doormat effect”. It found that people who forgave partners that didn’t make them feel valued had less respect for themselves, along with a weakened sense of self.(2010年发表在《人格与社会心理学杂志》上的一篇研究论文将此称为“受气包效应”。研究发现，原谅那些让自己感觉不被重视的伴侣的人，自尊水平较低，自我认同感也会减弱。)”可知，2010年发表在《人格与社会心理学杂志》上的一篇研究论文将此称为 “受气包效应”。研究发现，原谅那些让自己感觉不被重视的伴侣的人，自尊水平较低，自我认同感也会减弱。故选D。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“A 2010 research paper published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology called this “the doormat effect”. (2010年发表在《人格与社会心理学杂志》上的一篇研究论文将此称为“受气包效应”。)”以及文章第三段“That’s what 2011 research by psychology professor James K McNulty argues. He looked at how 72 newlywed couples expressed forgiveness towards acts of aggression(攻击性), and whether this caused any changes in the wrongdoer’s behaviour.(心理学教授詹姆斯・K・麦克纳尔蒂在2011年的研究中就提出了这一观点。他研究了72对新婚夫妇如何对攻击性行为表达宽恕，以及这是否会导致犯错者的行为发生改变。)”可知，作者在论述过程中，引用了2010年发表在《人格与社会心理学杂志》上关于“受气包效应”的研究结果，以及2011年心理学教授詹姆斯・K・麦克纳尔蒂的研究，通过这些研究结果来支撑自己“原谅并不总是对我们最有利，有时可能弊大于利” 的观点，所以作者主要是通过引用研究结果来进行论证的。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“He found that when a partner was more likely to forgive those acts, the aggressor was more likely to keep committing them. This is because facing the consequences of their actions is what motivates people to change their ways, and being offered a clean sheet can allow them to avoid making changes. Forgiving frequent and major offenses (冒犯), like verbal or physical abuse, can do more harm than good.(他发现，当一方更容易原谅这些攻击性行为时，攻击者就更有可能继续实施此类行为。这是因为直面自己行为的后果会促使人们改变自己的行事方式，而轻易得到原谅则会让他们逃避改变。原谅频繁且严重的冒犯行为，比如言语或身体上的虐待，往往弊大于利。)”可知，结合研究结果，频繁原谅攻击性行为会让攻击者逃避改变，也就是阻止了犯错者做出改变。故选D。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“What if we didn’t see forgiveness as a quick fix, like a magic medicine, and instead, we tried to just accept what’s happened as it is. By doing this, we can concentrate on understanding what really went down and deal with it in our own way, without feeling like we owe anything to the person who hurt us. (如果我们不把原谅视为一种速效解决方案，比如神奇的解药，而是试着坦然接受所发生的一切，结果会怎样呢？这样做，我们就能专注于弄清楚事情的真相，并以自己的方式去处理，而不会觉得自己欠伤害我们的人什么。)”可知，作者建议我们试着坦然接受所发生的一切。故选B。 D What is news? The Oxford English Dictionary describes it as: “The report or account of recent events.” However, a lot of reported news is bad or negative. This is both disheartening and unrealistic, creating an unbalanced representation of what’s going on in the world. Understanding why this happens, and knowing how to discover the problems it causes, helps to lessen its influence. It’s important to remember that many news organizations aren’t just a public information service. Most need to attract readers, viewers, or listeners in a competitive market. So the stories they choose to cover are those that attract the largest audience. So why do stories of suffering and sadness draw the biggest crowds? According to a 2022 study, there are evolutionary reasons why bad news is hard to avoid. Our brains are programmed to focus on possible threats to help avoid danger. Concentrating on risks enabled early humans to survive. The difference between then and now is that the threats our ancestors dealt with were local, life-threatening and short-lived. Today’s news is seldom immediately life-threatening, but it can excite the same processes, as the mind and body prepare for action. This can lead to feelings of powerlessness and anxiety as people deal with information about dangers. Feeling pressure to keep up to date can lead to a high intake of negative news, which would influence well-being. Recent reports showed that around 63 percent of 12 to 18-year-olds in the US say that news makes them often or sometimes feel sad or upset. Feeling upset when bad things happen is a healthy, human response. If you do feel upset by anything you’ve read, seen, or heard, remember to treat yourself with compassion (同情). There’s no shame in taking a break. Don’t feel like you have to be aware of every story of suffering that’s happening or have to take action to make a difference. 12. What is the worry expressed in the text about news reporting? A. It meets the challenges of social media. B. It is losing popularity among young people. C. It often presents a negative view of the world. D. It is under the influence of leading news organizations. 13. Why is bad news attractive according to the 2022 research? A. It excites people’s curiosity. B. It reflects the reality of daily life. C. It creates a natural response in our brains. D. It is often carefully chosen through market research. 14. What is the author’s suggestion? A. Doing more reading. B. Going easy on yourself. C. Thinking before you believe. D. Showing compassion to others. 15. What can be the best title for the text? A. News Blues B. Bad News is Good News C. News That Changes D. Then or Now: News is the Answer 【答案】12. C 13. C 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要探讨了新闻报道中负面新闻过多的现象，分析了其背后的原因，并讨论了这种现象对个人情绪和社会的影响。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“However, a lot of reported news is bad or negative. This is both disheartening and unrealistic, creating an unbalanced representation of what’s going on in the world.(然而，许多被报道的新闻都是负面的坏消息。这既令人沮丧又不符合现实，对世界正在发生的事情造成了片面的呈现。)”可知，新闻报道存在的担忧是它常常呈现出对世界的负面看法。故选C。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“According to a 2022 study, there are evolutionary reasons why bad news is hard to avoid. Our brains are programmed to focus on possible threats to help avoid danger. Concentrating on risks enabled early humans to survive.(根据2022年的一项研究，坏消息难以避免是有进化方面的原因的。我们的大脑天生就会关注潜在威胁，以帮助我们规避危险。专注于风险让早期人类得以生存。)”可知，坏消息难以避免可能源于进化因素，我们的大脑天生就会关注潜在威胁，以帮助我们规避危险，所以坏消息吸引人的原因是它在我们的大脑中形成了一种自然反应。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“If you do feel upset by anything you’ve read, seen, or heard, remember to treat yourself with compassion (同情). There’s no shame in taking a break. Don’t feel like you have to be aware of every story of suffering that’s happening or have to take action to make a difference.(如果你确实因读到、看到或听到的内容而感到心烦，记住要善待自己。暂时放下新闻并不可耻。不要觉得你必须知晓每一个正在发生的苦难故事，也不必非得采取行动去改变现状。)”可知，作者建议在面对负面新闻让自己心烦时要善待自己，给自己放松的机会。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“However, a lot of reported news is bad or negative. This is both disheartening and unrealistic, creating an unbalanced representation of what’s going on in the world.(然而，许多被报道的新闻都是负面的坏消息。这既令人沮丧又不符合现实，对世界正在发生的事情造成了片面的呈现。)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要围绕新闻报道中存在大量负面新闻这一现象展开，阐述了负面新闻存在的原因以及其对人们造成的影响，最后给出应对建议。选项A“News Blues (新闻沮丧的东西)”能够体现出文章中负面新闻让人们感到沮丧、无力和焦虑等消极情绪，准确概括了文章核心内容，适合作为标题。故选A。 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Chinese are very generous when it comes to educating their children. Not caring about the money, parents often want to send their children to the best schools or even abroad to England, the United States and Australia. ____16____ The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is. So parents will spend an unreasonable amount of money on education. ____17____ However, what most parents fail to see is that the best early education given to their children is usually very cheap. ____18____ Some children are very skilled in some areas while poor in others. What most parents fail to realize though, is that today’s children are badly off for self-respect and self-confidence. The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take multiple — choice tests and how to study well, but parents are not teaching them the most important skills that they need to be confident, happy and clever. ____19____ For example, teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life. Cooking requires patience and time. It is an enjoyable but difficult experience. A good cook always tries to improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and gradually finish his job successfully step by step. The result, a well-cooked dinner, will give him much satisfaction and lots of self-confidence. Some old machines, such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your child to play with will make him curious and arouse his interest. He will spend hours looking at them, trying to repair them. ____20____ These activities are not only teaching a child to read a book, but rather to think, to use his mind. And that is more important. A. Parents can see that their children’s skills differ. B. Parents can achieve this by teaching practical skills. C. The more cost in education, the better the result will be. D. Your child might become an engineer when he grows up. E. Thus, parents usually think computers are more convenient for kids’ learning. F. For instance, even poor couples will buy a computer for their son or daughter. G. They also want their children to take extra-course activities to get a head start in life. 【答案】16. G 17. F 18. A 19.

Andy and his brother Berlin were filled with excitement as they thought of visiting their grandparents again. The big day came at last. After the happy family got ready they set out for the grandparents’ eagerly. On the way, the brothers were excitedly talking about the fun they had with grandparents. A little blue house with a tall white chimney finally appeared. Behind the house was the forest carrying their good memories with Grandpa. They arrived at the driveway, at the end of which Grandma was waiting for them joyfully. Andy and Berlin each gave Grandma a big hug and then swept to the living room, shouting excitedly “Grandpa, we are back!” Seeing his grandsons, Grandpa was wild with joy and tried to get up with all his strength from the chair but in vain. A helpless expression flashed on his face. Grandma explained that his health was declining rapidly and maybe couldn’t stand up on his own forever. But Grandpa declared stubbornly (倔强地), “I can!” Certainly, he was stuck in his boyish way. Mum and grandparents were happy to meet again after a long time. They sat together and chatted about what happened recently. The brothers were soon bored with adult conversation, went out and wandered into the forest. Tall trees stretched up to the heavens with large branches crossing each other, while young ones rose straight like soldiers. Grandpa was once an intelligent explorer. He could tell where the birds came from only by their calls and songs. The trees, birds, lizards, lots of bugs… How many merry moments they spent with Grandpa in the kingdom! But now Grandpa couldn’t get up. This made them worried. “We’d think out a way to cheer him up.” Andy said. “Grandpa is a bird lover, and we can catch him a bird.” Berlin suggested. “But he hates birds being caged!” Andy shook his head. Then a bright idea came to Andy’s mind. “Why not make a cane (拐杖) out of a young tree!” 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。 Berlin thought it was a good idea. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Andy and Berlin handed the cane to Grandpa. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Berlin thought it was a good idea. With the tools fetched from the backyard, they returned to the forest to search for an appropriate young tree for a cane. Hardly had they selected one when they got started with their BIG PROJECT. Andy, the elder brother, took on the job of cutting it down, while Berlin, who was younger and more creative, was responsible for decoration. Hard as it might seem to them, they never thought about quitting. After what seemed a long time, an elegant and tough cane appeared. Both of them were more than satisfied with their work and couldn’t wait to rush home. Andy and Berlin handed the cane to Grandpa. The instant he saw it, he knew what it was all about. Deeply touched by the grandsons’ gift, he took it with great excitement and tapped it on the ground several times. Obviously, he attempted to stand up with it. With the encouragement of the two brothers, he struggled to get up, slowly walking towards the forest. A cheerful and joyful expression, which Andy and Berlin had expected of Grandpa, flashed on his face. It was at that moment that they literally felt all the efforts to make the cane were all worth it. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述Andy和弟弟Berlin暑假去看望他们的祖父母，爷爷奶奶看到他们欣喜若狂，但是爷爷不能站起来了，这让他们很担心。所以在森林闲逛时，Andy提出给爷爷做一根手杖。 【详解】1. 段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“Berlin认为这是个好主意。”可知，本段可以写兄弟俩如何做手杖。 ②由第一段首句内容“Andy和Berlin把手杖递给爷爷。”可知，本段可以写爷爷受到手杖后的反应。 2. 续写线索：兄弟俩找做手杖的工具——他们开始制作——制作完成——送给爷爷——爷爷激动——爷爷努力站起来走向森林——兄弟俩认为努力都值得 3. 词类激活 行为类 ①挑选：select/pick up ②放弃：quit/give up ③试图做某事：attempt to do/make an attempt to do 情绪类 ①满意：satisfied/content ②兴奋：excitement/thrill 【点睛】【高分句型1】Andy, the elder brother, took on the job of cutting it down, while Berlin, who was younger and more creative, was responsible for decoration.
