新蔡县第一高级中学2024-2025学年高二下学期2月份开学考试英语试题 注意事项： 1.答题前请填好自己的姓名、班级、考号等信息; 2.请将答案正确填写在答题卡上。 一、听力(共两节，满分30分)略 二、阅读理解(共两节，共20小题.每小题2.5分，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分，共37.5分) A A relative newcomer compared to YouTube and Instagram, TikTok was launched in 2016 and has since grown to an audience of over one billion monthly active users. Its format — short, shareable videos — and addictive algorithm (算法) have proved particularly popular among younger people. According to TikTok’s own data insights, the app has seen a 410% increase in travel content views since 2021. TikTok content creator Emma Cooke thinks it’s the honesty of videos that makes them perform well. “If a picture is worth 1,000 words, a video is worth 10,000,” she says. “It’s very hard to edit them in the way you could imagine. TikTok travellers are looking for authenticity (真实性).” More than 70% of TikTok’s European audience say they’ re likely to book a holiday based on recommendations they’ve seen on the platform (平台). Indeed, research by Adobe found that more than 60% of Gen Z Americans have used TikTok as a search engine. Entering a search term such as “top things to do in Paris” will bring up endless videos, ranked by popularity and the algorithm will adapt to these interests next time you search. TikTok attracts many content creators, whose insights can be invaluable for travellers. But they also have the potential to cause harm, at times directing thousands of visitors to places that don’t have the infrastructure (基础设施) to support. Many destinations have fallen victim to their own success. A study published in a journal found that, “While the tourists helped improve the economic situation, they also brought traffic and crowding, putting pressure on infrastructure.” There’s also the issue of the promotion of unethical (不道德的) tourism. Responsible travel is of keen interest to TikTok users. But when Dr Natara Loose, an American veterinarian, visited Mauritius this year, she says she was “shocked by the number of boats selling tours to swim with dolphins, a practice illegal in Mauritius but spread all over TikTok.” For better or worse, it’s clear the platform’s influence on travel is enormous, particularly among younger generations and it isn’t going anywhere any time soon. 1. What makes TikTok popular according to Emma Cooke? A. Its longer videos. B. Its older audience. C. Its focus on edited content. D. Its video content’s authenticity. 2. What do most Gen Z Americans use TikTok as according to the text? A. A booking platform for travel accommodations. B. A platform for sharing travel photos and videos. C. A search engine for travel recommendations. D. A tool for connecting with local tour operators. 3. What is a potential negative consequence of TikTok tourist promotions? A. They may over-commercialize tourism. B. They may overcrowd local infrastructure. C. They may prevent sustainable travel modes. D. They may increase the risk of cultural similarity. 4. What would be the best title for this text? A. How TikTok boosts the economy B. Why TikTok makes responsible travellers C. How TikTok is changing the face of travel D. What TikTok learns from other platforms 【答案】1. D 2. C 3. B 4. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了TikTok在旅游领域的巨大影响力，它因视频内容真实性受年轻人欢迎，但也可能带来过度拥挤和不道德旅游推广等问题。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“TikTok content creator Emma Cooke thinks it’s the honesty of videos that makes them perform well.(TikTok内容创作者艾玛·库克认为，正是视频的真实性让它们表现出色。)”以及她所说的话“TikTok travellers are looking for authenticity (真实性).(TikTok上的旅行者在寻找真实性。)”可知，艾玛·库克认为是TikTok视频内容的真实性让它受欢迎。故选D项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Indeed, research by Adobe found that more than 60% of Gen Z Americans have used TikTok as a search engine. Entering a search term such as ‘top things to do in Paris’ will bring up endless videos, ranked by popularity and the algorithm will adapt to these interests next time you search. (事实上，Adobe的研究发现，超过60%的美国Z世代将TikTok用作搜索引擎。输入诸如‘巴黎必做的顶级事情’这样的搜索词，将会出现无数视频，按人气排名，下次你搜索时，算法会根据这些兴趣进行调整)”可知，大多数美国Z世代将TikTok用作旅游推荐的搜索引擎。故选C项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“But they also have the potential to cause harm, at times directing thousands of visitors to places that don’t have the infrastructure (基础设施) to support. (但它们也有可能造成危害，有时会将数千名游客引向没有相应基础设施支持的地方)”和第五段中“While the tourists helped improve the economic situation, they also brought traffic and crowding, putting pressure on infrastructure. (虽然游客有助于改善经济状况，但他们也带来了交通拥堵问题，给基础设施带来了压力)”可知，TikTok旅游推广的一个潜在负面后果是可能使当地基础设施过于拥挤。故选B项。 【4题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“A relative newcomer compared to YouTube and Instagram, TikTok was launched in 2016 and has since grown to an audience of over one billion monthly active users. Its format — short, shareable videos — and addictive algorithm (算法) have proved particularly popular among younger people. According to TikTok’s own data insights, the app has seen a 410% increase in travel content views since 2021. (与YouTube和Instagram相比，TikTok算是一个相对较新的平台，它于2016年推出，此后每月活跃用户已增长到超过1亿。它的形式——简短、可分享的视频——以及让人上瘾的算法，在年轻人中尤其受欢迎。根据TikTok自己的数据洞察，自2021年以来，该应用上的旅游内容浏览量增长了410%)”以及最后一段“For better or worse, it’s clear the platform’s influence on travel is enormous, particularly among younger generations and it isn’t going anywhere any time soon. (不管是好是坏，很明显这个平台对旅游的影响是巨大的，尤其是在年轻一代中，而且这种影响短期内不会消失)”可知，文章围绕TikTok对旅游的影响展开，它既推动了旅游信息传播，也带来一些问题，正在改变旅游的面貌。C项“How TikTok is changing the face of travel (抖音如何改变旅游面貌)”能概括文章内容，最适合作为文章标题。故选C项。 B When Adriana Barbosa was a child and her family was struggling to pay rent, she would sell food that her grandmother cooked to raise money. They were some of the few Afro-Brazilians (非洲裔巴西人) in a middle-class neighborhood in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and she quickly learned that, although more than half of Brazilians have African ancestry, many of the Brazilians profiting off Black ideas do not. This is significant considering how wide Brazil’s racial wealth gap is, even as officials have down played the existence of racism (种族歧视) in their society. The average income for white workers was 74% higher than that of black and brown workers in 2019, according to a study by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics. In her 20s, Barbosa, who was always excited by everything from Spike Lee’s films to the Black Panthers’ activism, created the Feira Preta Festival, both to help pay the bills and to celebrate Black culture. The first event showcased music, plays, and literature and drew more than5,000 visitors. It also provided a platform for Barbosa and other business people to sell their products. Which isn’t to say it hasn’t had challenges. Funding has been an issue. A white neighborhood blocked the festival from taking place on its streets, she says. Some ticket income was stolen. But Barbosa has been determined to keep it all going; the festival has drawn more than 200,000 visitors over the years and has turned into one of the largest Black culture events in Latin America. Later she grew the Feira Preta Festival into an initiative, the PretaHub platform. Over the last two decades, it has worked with more than 10,000 Black business people in many fields. “It began with a small action to pay rent,” says Barbosa. “Today it’s a big social organization that has created a market f or Black people.” 5. Which of the following statements is true? A. The racial wealth gap in Brazil is narrow. B. Only a few Brazilians have African ancestry. C. Adriana helped her family financially by selling food. D. The average salary for white workers was low in 2019. 6. When organizing the Feira Preta Festival, Barbosa faced many challenges except ______. A. The shortage of funding. B. The theft of ticket income. C. The opposition from white people. D. The absence of the government’s support. 7. Which of the following words can best describe Adriana Barbosa? A. Creative and strong-willed. B. Passionate and cautious. C. Conservative and sensitive. D. Humorous and warm-hearted. 8. What message does the text convey? A. It’s never too old to learn. B. Constant dripping wears away a stone. C. From humble beginnings come great things. D. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. 【答案】5. C 6. D 7. A 8. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是篇说明文。文章通过讲述了Adriana Barbosa的成长经历和她创办的Feira Preta Festival（黑人文化节）及其后续发展，展现了她在面对家庭经济困难和种族财富差距等挑战时，如何坚持并努力推动黑人文化的发展和庆祝。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“When Adriana Barbosa was a child and her family was struggling to pay rent, she would sell food that her grandmother cooked to raise money.(当Adriana Barbosa还是个孩子的时候，她的家庭正在努力支付房租，她会卖掉祖母做的食物来筹集资金。)”可知，Adriana Barbosa通过卖食物来帮助她的家人。故选C项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Which isn’t to say it hasn’t had challenges. Funding has been an issue. A white neighborhood block ed the festival from taking place on its streets, she says. Some ticket income was stolen. But Barbosa has been determined to keep it all going; the festival has drawn more than 200,000 visitors over the years and has turned into one of the largest Black culture events in Latin America.(这并不是说它没有遇到过挑战。资金一直是个问题。她说，一个白人社区阻止这个节日在街道上举行。一些门票收入被盗。但Barbosa决心让这一切继续下去；该节日多年来吸引了20多万游客，已成为拉丁美洲最大的黑人文化活动之一)”可知，在组织Feira Preta节时，Barbosa面临着许多挑战，有资金短缺，盗窃票务收入和白人的反对，没有提到缺少政府的支持。故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“In her 20s, Barbosa, who was always excited by everything from Spike Lee’s films to the Black Panthers’ activism, created the Feira Preta Festival, both to help pay the bills and to celebrate Black culture.(斯派克·李的电影到黑豹党的激进主义，Barbosa总是对一切都感到兴奋。20多岁时，她创立了创立了Feira Preta Festival，既是为了帮助支付账单，也是为了庆祝黑人文化。)”可知，是Barbosa创立了Feira Preta Festival，说明她是有创造力的；以及倒数第二段“Which isn’t to say it hasn’t had challenges. Funding has been an issue. A white neighborhood block ed the festival from taking place on its streets, she says. Some ticket income was stolen. But Barbosa has been determined to keep it all going; the festival has drawn more than 200,000visitors over the years and has turned into one of the largest Black culture events in Latin America.(这并不是说它没有遇到过挑战。资金一直是个问题。她说，一个白人社区阻止这个节日在街道上举行。一些门票收入被盗。但巴博萨决心让这一切继续下去；该节日多年来吸引了20多万游客，已成为拉丁美洲最大的黑人文化活动之一。)”可知，在举办节日期间，遇到很多困难，但是她坚持了下去，所以是意志坚强的。故选A项。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““It began with a small action to pay rent,” says Barbosa. “Today it’s a big social organization that has created a market f or Black people.”(Barbosa说：“这始于支付房租的一个小动作。“今天，它是一个大型社会组织，为黑人创造了一个市场。”)”和全文内容可知，文章讲述了Barbosa从小行动开始，最终成就了一个大的社会组织的经历，表明了“伟大的事情源于卑微的开始”。故选C项。 C In American society, anxiety is widespread. In fact, anxiety disorders are one of the most common mental health challenges in the United States, and they impact more than 31 percent of the population at some point in their lifetime (NAMI, 2024). As a therapist, I frequently see clients come to therapy who are seeking support for anxiety. After all, anxiety doesn’t feel good. It can keep us up at night, bring feelings of danger, contribute to racing thoughts, cause hypervigilance, leave us feeling distracted and detached, make us feel sick, and more. The issue, though, isn’t anxiety itself, but when our brains or bodies become stuck in an anxiety cycle or interpret something as dangerous that isn’t. This isn’t our body’s fault, but instead is frequently a response to trauma, chronic stress, life circumstances, or genetic influences that can leave some brains more vulnerable to overdrive. Anxiety is a physiological response that has meaning. It has purpose. It is there to protect us from danger. When we understand the function our anxiety is playing, that knowledge alerts (提醒) us to what we need and can foster self-compassion (自我同情). As Karen Young discusses in her book Hey Warrior, anxiety is a sign of a strong working brain (even if anxiety might be a bit overprotective). Understanding our anxiety brings us one step closer to coping with it and caring for ourselves through it. Here are a few important functions of anxiety: Alert us to danger; Wake our body up and give us the energy that we need in certain situations; Make us more aware of our surroundings, people around us, and situations (and how they are impacting us); Help us recognize that this situation or relationship is like one in the past that caused us harm; Motivate us to complete the tasks we need to do; Remind us about things that are important to us and move us toward taking the steps we need to take to accomplish our goals; Bring awareness about how others are doing and urge us to care for them. Without a little bit of anxiety in our lives, we might not have the energy to do what we want or be who we want to be. The challenge comes in when our nervous system has been under chronic (长期的) stress and has challenges “turning off” or being in chronic “protection mode”, as I like to call it. 9. What is the main issue concerning anxiety according to the therapist? A. Anxiety itself. B. Our brain’s or body’s response to anxiety. C. The purpose of anxiety. D. The physiological response of anxiety. 10. How does Karen Young describe anxiety in her book Hey Warrior? A. A sign of weakness. B. A sign of a broken brain. C. A sign of laziness. D. A sign of a strong working brain. 11. What is the author’s attitude towards anxiety according to the last paragraph? A. Entirely negative. B. Entirely positive. C. Balanced and mixed. D. Undecided and confused. 12. What is the best title for the passage? A. Understanding the Causes of Anxiety B. The Benefits of Experiencing Anxiety C. Anxiety: A Complex and Misunderstood Emotion D. Anxiety as a Sign of a Strong Working Brain 【答案】9. B 10. D 11. C 12. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述的是焦虑的表现、产生的原因和功能等。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的句子“The issue, though, isn’t anxiety itself, but when our brains or bodies become stuck in an anxiety cycle or interpret something as dangerous that isn’t.(然而，问题不在于焦虑本身，而是当我们的大脑或身体陷入焦虑的循环中，或者把一些并不危险的事情解读为危险的时候。)”可知，治疗师认为焦虑的主要问题是我们的大脑或身体对焦虑的反应。故选B项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的最后一句“As Karen Young discusses in her book Hey Warrior, anxiety is a sign of a strong working brain (even if anxiety might be a bit overprotective).(正如凯伦·杨在她的书《嘿，勇士》中所讨论的那样，焦虑是大脑运转良好的标志（即使焦虑可能有点过度保护）。)”可知，凯伦·杨在她的书《嘿，勇士》中把焦虑描述为大脑运转良好的标志。故选D项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Without a little bit of anxiety in our lives, we might not have the energy to do what we want or be who we want to be. The challenge comes in when our nervous system has been under chronic (长期的) stress and has challenges “turning off” or being in chronic “protection mode”, as I like to call it.(如果我们的生活中没有一点焦虑，我们可能就没有精力去做我们想做的事或成为我们想成为的人。当我们的神经系统长期处于压力之下，并面临“关闭”或长期处于“保护模式”的挑战时，挑战就来了，我喜欢这样称呼它。)”可知，作者认为适当的焦虑对我们是有益的，但是长期的焦虑则会给我们带来挑战。所以，作者对焦虑的态度是平衡的、复杂的。故选C项。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。本文主要讲述的是焦虑的表现、产生的原因和功能。由此可知，焦虑不只是对人们有害，也有积极的作用。所以用C项“Anxiety: A Complex and Misunderstood Emotion(焦虑：一种复杂且被误解的情绪)”作为本文的标题，与文章主题相符合。故选C项。 D EduCode Academy is an online coding platform designed for learners of all ages, offering a curriculum that covers beginners to advanced levels.

A 2010 study conducted by the Scandinavian Journal of Medicine and Science in Sports found that participants who exercised in the morning, increased their physical activity throughout the day, were less distracted by food, and slept better. Exercising on an empty stomach before breakfast could burn more fat and increase metabolism (新陈代谢) too. So, good news for early birds, but what if you’re not a morning person? Working out in the afternoon or evening also has benefits, just different ones. ___18___Also, in the afternoon and evening, your reaction time is quickest, and your heart rate and blood pressure are lowest, which reduce your chance of injury while improving performance. But does any of this change depend on whether you’re a man or a woman? Our bodies are different, after all, so the best time to exercise may be different. A 2022 study from Skidmore College, New York, looked at exactly this question and the results showed that there are some differences. ___19___ Exercise in the morning. Want to improve your heart health and you’re a man? Evening is better for you. But, ultimately, the study found that there are clear benefits for both sexes to exercising at either time of day. So what time is best? ___20___. A. So does your amount of exercise count? B. Want to lose weight and be more charming? C. There are clear benefits to exercising in the morning. D. It seems the answer is: whatever time is best for you! E. Want to reduce your blood pressure and you’re a woman? F. For example, your body’s ability to perform peaks in the afternoon. G. So could exercising at certain times help maximize our fitness goals? 【答案】16. G 17. C 18. F 19. E 20. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一天中的最佳锻炼时间 【16题详解】 上文“With our already busy lives, finding time to exercise can feel like one more thing on our ‘to do’ list. (在我们已经忙碌的生活中，找时间锻炼就像是我们“要做”的清单上的另一件事。)”提到了锻炼的问题，下文“The answer is ‘yes’, but it’s easier than you think - no matter who you are, or when you like to work out. (答案是肯定的，但这比你想象的要容易——不管你是谁，也不管你喜欢什么时候锻炼。)”是对有关锻炼问题的一个回答，选项G中exercising是关键词与上文呼应，所以G选项“那么，在特定的时间锻炼能帮助我们达到最大的健身目标吗？”能承上启下，符合语境。故选G项。 【17题详解】 下文“A 2010 study conducted by the Scandinavian Journal of Medicine and Science in Sports found that participants who exercised in the morning, increased their physical activity throughout the day, were less distracted by food, and slept better. Exercising on an empty stomach before breakfast could burn more fat and increase metabolism (新陈代谢)too. (《斯堪的纳维亚体育医学与科学杂志》在2010年进行的一项研究发现，早上锻炼的参与者，在一天中增加体力活动，更少被食物分散注意力，睡眠更好。早餐前空腹锻炼可以燃烧更多的脂肪，促进新陈代谢。)”提到了晨练的好处，选项C中exercising in the morning是关键词，与下文呼应，所以C选项“早上锻炼有明显的好处。”能概括下文内容。故选C项。 【18题详解】 上文“Working out in the afternoon or evening also has benefits, just different ones. (在下午或晚上锻炼也有好处，只是好处不同。)”提到了下午或晚上锻炼，选项F中in the afternoon是关键词，与上文呼应，所以F选项“例如，你身体的工作能力在下午达到顶峰。”能承接上文。故选F项。 【19题详解】 下文“Exercise in the morning. (早晨锻炼。)”提到了早晨锻炼，继续说“Want to improve your heart health and you’re a man? Evening is better for you. (想要改善你的心脏健康，而你是一个男人？晚上对你比较合适。)”提到了晚上锻炼，此处上下文是表对比的关系，所以E选项“如果你是女性，想要降低血压？”能与下文构成对比关系。故选E项。 【20题详解】 上文“So what time is best? (那么什么时间最合适呢？)”是询问时间，所以D选项“答案似乎是：任何时间对你来说都是最好！”是对上文的回答，符合语境。故选D项。 第三节完形填空(共15小题.每小题1分，满分15分) The Journey to the Summit The title of “Mountain Explorer” was bestowed upon me after I successfully climbed my first major peak at the age of sixteen.

A tall official was checking all the athletes. “Number Three. John Fisher.” John nodded while a ripple of goosebumps (一阵鸡皮疙瘩) shot up his backbone. He should be calm as he had trained pretty hard for the race. However, he had a headache and a sense of imbalance from his poor sleep the night before, Scenes of the last competition filled his head, when he had put in a good effort, doing what he thought was enough only to see another man beat him. The bitter taste of loss spread slowly in his mouth even now. Suddenly, John felt a “man” in black standing beside him, who looked quite familiar. He looked at John and sneered (讥笑), “Hey. You are not good enough. You’re going to fail like in the last competition!” How dare he say that? John angrily punched （拳打） him, who, however, disappeared into thin air. John remembered the early mornings when he was the first to arrive at the training ground, pushing himself through one more set of exercises each time. Determined not to let this negative voice affect him, he took a deep breath and looked ahead. “Now, everyone, follow me,” the official said and led the group into the arena (运动场). John looked over at the other competitors, each dressed in a similar uniform, well-trained and prepared. John knew he had a tough race ahead of him. The “man” appeared and sneered again “Good luck. You’re going to need it!” Ignoring the “man” and the competitors, John placed his fingers against the starting line and put his body in position. “What should I do first?” he wondered, All the strategies he had planned the night before were gone. He could feel the eye of the crowd on him and he wasn’t ready. Paragraph 1: Bang! John dashed out, but his foot almost slipped. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: The “man” in black appeared and congratulated him, too. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: Bang! John dashed out, but his foot almost slipped. He quickly regained his balance, his heart pounding in his chest. The adrenaline surged through him, pushing him forward. He focused on the track ahead, blocking out the cheers and jeers of the crowd. His muscles worked in perfect harmony, each stride bringing him closer to the finish line. As he rounded the final bend, he saw the leaders just ahead. With a final burst of speed, he sprinted towards them, his lungs burning and his legs screaming in protest. But he didn’t let up, his determination propelling him forward. To his surprise, he crossed the finish line in second place, just inches behind the winner. Paragraph 2: The “man” in black appeared and congratulated him, too. “Well done, John,” he said, his tone no longer sneering but genuinely impressed. “You’ve come a long way. Remember, it’s not about winning every time, it’s about pushing yourself to be better, about facing your fears and rising above them.” John stared at the “man”, realizing he was a figment of his own doubts and insecurities. “Thanks,” he muttered, feeling a sense of relief wash over him. He turned to his coach and teammates, who were cheering him on. For the first time, he felt like he truly belonged. He knew he still had a lot to learn and many more races to run, but today, he had proven to himself that he could compete with the best. And that, he thought, was victory enough. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了运动员John Fisher在比赛日前的心理状态和经历。John在即将参加另一场比赛时，感到紧张和不安，部分原因是他前一晚睡眠不佳导致的头痛和失衡感，以及上一次比赛失败的阴影。在赛场上，他遇到了一个似乎很熟悉的“黑衣人”的讥笑，这激起了他的愤怒，但他努力不让这种负面情绪影响自己。尽管John努力保持冷静，但当他准备起跑时，他感到计划好的策略都消失了，他感受到了来自观众的目光，并意识到自己还没有完全准备好。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“砰！John冲了出去，但他的脚差点滑倒。”可知，第一段可描写John艰难完成比赛的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“那个穿黑衣服的“人”也出现了，向他表示祝贺。”可知，第二段可描写比赛结束后，John得到了教练以及队友的赞美，以及John的感悟。 2.续写线索：艰难比赛——冲过终点——众人欢呼——感悟 3.词汇激活 情绪类 集中精力于：focus on/concentrate on 意识到：realize/be aware of 重获：regain/recapture 面对：face/confront 行为类 让某人惊讶的是：to one’s surprise/to one’s amazement 决心：determination/resolution 【点睛】[高分句型1] As he rounded the final bend, he saw the leaders just ahead.（运用了as引导时间状语从句） [高分句型2] John stared at the “man”, realizing he was a figment of his own doubts and insecurities.（运用了现在分词realizing作状语，以及省略引导词that的宾语从句作realizing的宾语） 47. 假定你是李华，你校英文报Opinion栏目本期话题为“Original Photo or Edited Photo for Resume (简历)?”请写一篇短文，发表你的观点。 注意： 1. 词数80左右（开头已给出，不计入总词数）； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Regarding the topic of “Original Photo or Edited Photo for Resume”, I prefer ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范例1： Regarding the topic of “Original Photo or Edited Photo for Resume”, I prefer to use an original photo. Authenticity matters greatly in professional settings. An original photo reflects honesty and qualities that employers value when they assess candidates. An edited photo, while it may make you look better, runs the risk of misleading employers. They might get the wrong idea or even judge you unfairly based on your looks. So, it’s a better choice to use an original photo, which can keep people focused on what you can do professionally. Our qualifications speak louder than any digital touch-up. 范例2： Regarding the topic of “Original Photo or Edited Photo for Resume”, I prefer an edited photo for a resume. An edited photo allows us to present our best selves, enhancing our professional image. Minor adjustments, such as improving lighting or background, can make a significant difference without altering one’s true appearance. In a competitive job market, first impressions are crucial, and a polished photo can convey professionalism and attention to detail. However, it’s important to avoid over-editing, ensuring the photo remains a true representation of oneself. Striking this balance can help candidates make a positive impact on potential employers. 范例3： Regarding the topic of “Original Photo or Edited Photo for Resume”, I prefer using edited photos in resumes. Carefully edited photos can enhance your appearance and showcase your attention to detail, potentially giving recruiters a more favorable first impression and improving your chances of securing an interview. However, it’s crucial to strike the right balance — excessive editing can make the photo seem inauthentic, which may raise doubts about your integrity. If you’re unsure about the appropriate level of editing, it’s best to consult a professional to avoid any issues. Ultimately, thoughtfully edited photos can be an asset, but you must ensure they remain genuine representations. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于议论文，要求考生写一篇短文，发表对于“Original Photo or Edited Photo for Resume (简历)?”的观点。 【详解】1.词汇积累 反映：reflect→mirror 评估：assess→evaluate 选择：choice→option 集中于：focus on→concentrate on 2.句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：Our qualifications speak louder than any digital touch-up. 拓展句：Our qualifications are what speak louder than any digital touch-up. 【点睛】[高分句型1] An original photo reflects honesty and qualities that employers value when they assess candidates. (运用了that引导的限制性定语从句和when引导的时间状语从句) [高分句型2] So, it’s a better choice to use an original photo, which can keep people focused on what you can do professionally.

Its format — short, shareable videos — and addictive algorithm (算法) have proved particularly popular among younger people. According to TikTok’s own data insights, the app has seen a 410% increase in travel content views since 2021. TikTok content creator Emma Cooke thinks it’s the honesty of videos that makes them perform well. “If a picture is worth 1,000 words, a video is worth 10,000,” she says. “It’s very hard to edit them in the way you could imagine. TikTok travellers are looking for authenticity (真实性).” More than 70% of TikTok’s European audience say they’ re likely to book a holiday based on recommendations they’ve seen on the platform (平台). Indeed, research by Adobe found that more than 60% of Gen Z Americans have used TikTok as a search engine. Entering a search term such as “top things to do in Paris” will bring up endless videos, ranked by popularity and the algorithm will adapt to these interests next time you search. TikTok attracts many content creators, whose insights can be invaluable for travellers. But they also have the potential to cause harm, at times directing thousands of visitors to places that don’t have the infrastructure (基础设施) to support. Many destinations have fallen victim to their own success. A study published in a journal found that, “While the tourists helped improve the economic situation, they also brought traffic and crowding, putting pressure on infrastructure.” There’s also the issue of the promotion of unethical (不道德的) tourism. Responsible travel is of keen interest to TikTok users. But when Dr Natara Loose, an American veterinarian, visited Mauritius this year, she says she was “shocked by the number of boats selling tours to swim with dolphins, a practice illegal in Mauritius but spread all over TikTok.” For better or worse, it’s clear the platform’s influence on travel is enormous, particularly among younger generations and it isn’t going anywhere any time soon. 1. What makes TikTok popular according to Emma Cooke? A. Its longer videos. B. Its older audience. C. Its focus on edited content. D. Its video content’s authenticity. 2. What do most Gen Z Americans use TikTok as according to the text? A. A booking platform for travel accommodations. B. A platform for sharing travel photos and videos. C. A search engine for travel recommendations. D. A tool for connecting with local tour operators. 3 What is a potential negative consequence of TikTok tourist promotions? A. They may over-commercialize tourism. B. They may overcrowd local infrastructure. C. They may prevent sustainable travel modes. D. They may increase the risk of cultural similarity. 4. What would be the best title for this text? A. How TikTok boosts the economy B. Why TikTok makes responsible travellers C. How TikTok is changing the face of travel D. What TikTok learns from other platforms B When Adriana Barbosa was a child and her family was struggling to pay rent, she would sell food that her grandmother cooked to raise money. They were some of the few Afro-Brazilians (非洲裔巴西人) in a middle-class neighborhood in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and she quickly learned that, although more than half of Brazilians have African ancestry, many of the Brazilians profiting off Black ideas do not. This is significant considering how wide Brazil’s racial wealth gap is, even as officials have down played the existence of racism (种族歧视) in their society. The average income for white workers was 74% higher than that of black and brown workers in 2019, according to a study by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics. In her 20s, Barbosa, who was always excited by everything from Spike Lee’s films to the Black Panthers’ activism, created the Feira Preta Festival, both to help pay the bills and to celebrate Black culture. The first event showcased music, plays, and literature and drew more than5,000 visitors. It also provided a platform for Barbosa and other business people to sell their products. Which isn’t to say it hasn’t had challenges. Funding has been an issue. A white neighborhood blocked the festival from taking place on its streets, she says. Some ticket income was stolen. But Barbosa has been determined to keep it all going; the festival has drawn more than 200,000 visitors over the years and has turned into one of the largest Black culture events in Latin America. Later she grew the Feira Preta Festival into an initiative, the PretaHub platform. Over the last two decades, it has worked with more than 10,000 Black business people in many fields. “It began with a small action to pay rent,” says Barbosa. “Today it’s a big social organization that has created a market f or Black people.” 5. Which of the following statements is true? A. The racial wealth gap in Brazil is narrow. B. Only a few Brazilians have African ancestry. C. Adriana helped her family financially by selling food. D. The average salary for white workers was low in 2019. 6. When organizing the Feira Preta Festival, Barbosa faced many challenges except ______. A The shortage of funding. B. The theft of ticket income. C. The opposition from white people. D. The absence of the government’s support. 7. Which of the following words can best describe Adriana Barbosa? A. Creative and strong-willed. B. Passionate and cautious. C. Conservative and sensitive. D. Humorous and warm-hearted. 8. What message does the text convey? A. It’s never too old to learn. B. Constant dripping wears away a stone. C. From humble beginnings come great things. D. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. C In American society, anxiety is widespread. In fact, anxiety disorders are one of the most common mental health challenges in the United States, and they impact more than 31 percent of the population at some point in their lifetime (NAMI, 2024). As a therapist, I frequently see clients come to therapy who are seeking support for anxiety. After all, anxiety doesn’t feel good. It can keep us up at night, bring feelings of danger, contribute to racing thoughts, cause hypervigilance, leave us feeling distracted and detached, make us feel sick, and more. The issue, though, isn’t anxiety itself, but when our brains or bodies become stuck in an anxiety cycle or interpret something as dangerous that isn’t. This isn’t our body’s fault, but instead is frequently a response to trauma, chronic stress, life circumstances, or genetic influences that can leave some brains more vulnerable to overdrive. Anxiety is a physiological response that has meaning. It has purpose. It is there to protect us from danger. When we understand the function our anxiety is playing, that knowledge alerts (提醒) us to what we need and can foster self-compassion (自我同情). As Karen Young discusses in her book Hey Warrior, anxiety is a sign of a strong working brain (even if anxiety might be a bit overprotective). Understanding our anxiety brings us one step closer to coping with it and caring for ourselves through it. Here are a few important functions of anxiety: Alert us to danger; Wake our body up and give us the energy that we need in certain situations; Make us more aware of our surroundings, people around us, and situations (and how they are impacting us); Help us recognize that this situation or relationship is like one in the past that caused us harm; Motivate us to complete the tasks we need to do; Remind us about things that are important to us and move us toward taking the steps we need to take to accomplish our goals; Bring awareness about how others are doing and urge us to care for them. Without a little bit of anxiety in our lives, we might not have the energy to do what we want or be who we want to be. The challenge comes in when our nervous system has been under chronic (长期的) stress and has challenges “turning off” or being in chronic “protection mode”, as I like to call it. 9. What is the main issue concerning anxiety according to the therapist? A. Anxiety itself. B. Our brain’s or body’s response to anxiety. C. The purpose of anxiety. D. The physiological response of anxiety. 10. How does Karen Young describe anxiety in her book Hey Warrior? A. A sign of weakness. B. A sign of a broken brain. C. A sign of laziness. D. A sign of a strong working brain. 11. What is the author’s attitude towards anxiety according to the last paragraph? A. Entirely negative. B. Entirely positive. C. Balanced and mixed. D. Undecided and confused. 12. What is the best title for the passage? A. Understanding the Causes of Anxiety B. The Benefits of Experiencing Anxiety C. Anxiety: A Complex and Misunderstood Emotion D. Anxiety as a Sign of a Strong Working Brain D EduCode Academy is an online coding platform designed for learners of all ages, offering a curriculum that covers beginners to advanced levels.

A 2010 study conducted by the Scandinavian Journal of Medicine and Science in Sports found that participants who exercised in the morning, increased their physical activity throughout the day, were less distracted by food, and slept better. Exercising on an empty stomach before breakfast could burn more fat and increase metabolism (新陈代谢) too. So, good news for early birds, but what if you’re not a morning person? Working out in the afternoon or evening also has benefits, just different ones. ___18___Also, in the afternoon and evening, your reaction time is quickest, and your heart rate and blood pressure are lowest, which reduce your chance of injury while improving performance. But does any of this change depend on whether you’re a man or a woman? Our bodies are different after all, so the best time to exercise may be different. A 2022 study from Skidmore College, New York, looked at exactly this question and the results showed that there are some differences. ___19___ Exercise in the morning.

A tall official was checking all the athletes. “Number Three. John Fisher.” John nodded while a ripple of goosebumps (一阵鸡皮疙瘩) shot up his backbone. He should be calm as he had trained pretty hard for the race. However, he had a headache and a sense of imbalance from his poor sleep the night before, Scenes of the last competition filled his head, when he had put in a good effort, doing what he thought was enough only to see another man beat him. The bitter taste of loss spread slowly in his mouth even now. Suddenly, John felt a “man” in black standing beside him, who looked quite familiar. He looked at John and sneered (讥笑), “Hey. You are not good enough. You’re going to fail like in the last competition!” How dare he say that? John angrily punched （拳打） him, who, however, disappeared into thin air. John remembered the early mornings when he was the first to arrive at the training ground, pushing himself through one more set of exercises each time. Determined not to let this negative voice affect him, he took a deep breath and looked ahead. “Now, everyone, follow me,” the official said and led the group into the arena (运动场). John looked over at the other competitors, each dressed in a similar uniform, well-trained and prepared. John knew he had a tough race ahead of him. The “man” appeared and sneered again “Good luck. You’re going to need it!” Ignoring the “man” and the competitors, John placed his fingers against the starting line and put his body in position. “What should I do first?” he wondered, All the strategies he had planned the night before were gone. He could feel the eye of the crowd on him and he wasn’t ready. Paragraph 1: Bang! John dashed out, but his foot almost slipped. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: The “man” in black appeared and congratulated him, too. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 47. 假定你是李华，你校英文报Opinion栏目本期话题为“Original Photo or Edited Photo for Resume (简历)?”请写一篇短文，发表你的观点。 注意： 1. 词数80左右（开头已给出，不计入总词数）； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Regarding the topic of “Original Photo or Edited Photo for Resume”, I prefer ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
