That’s the challenge we present in our 100-Word Personal Narrative Contest, inspired by the Tiny Love Stories series. After receiving more than 25,000 entries in the last two years and honoring dozens of outstanding teen-written memoirs, we’ve learned that it is absolutely possible to capture a powerful moment in just 100 words. We’re looking for short but impactful stories that highlight a specific event or moment in your life, told in your unique voice. We’re not asking you to follow a particular theme or structure, but we hope you’ll explore different styles and forms to tell a story that is meaningful to you. This contest is open to students aged 13 to 19 from around the world who are currently in high school. College students are not allowed, but high school students taking college classes, and students aged 19 or younger taking a gap year or not yet in college can participate. However, children of New English employees and those living in the same household are not allowed to enter. Your work will be evaluated by New English journalists, Leaning Network staff, and educators from universities across the country.

Talking to a university educator. B Suzanne Donohoe, a top manager, started the month with a 10-day business trip through Asia. Back in New York, her husband, Matt Donohoe, was helping their three teenagers begin a new school year. That was no simple task. Though the children are close in age, each goes to a different school and has different after-school activities. Matt drove their 13-year-old to hockey practices and took all three children for a tournament. In between, there were groceries to buy, meals to prepare and homework to assist with. It was all in a day’s work for Matt, who quit his job to help out at home. He is part of a quiet but growing group of men who manage responsibilities at home while their wives climb to top positions in finance. According to a 2023 report, Dads represented 18% of stay-at-home parents in 2021, up from 11% in 1989. Wall Street has long struggled to promote and keep women. A hotly competitive industry that demands long hours, frequent travel and the need to be on call constantly, it has been an unwelcoming environment for women, particularly those with children. Managing the arrangements is a challenging task. Women leaders in finance say that having a partner who stays home can relieve that burden. The disheartening part of the message is that you can’t achieve if one parent isn’t at home. For the men, being a househusband can come with a negative perception: Society often still assumes men will be the bigger earners and women the main caregivers. Not all men are as comfortable in the position. One stay-at-home dad says he sometimes tells other men that he manages real estate — technically true because the family owns a few buildings. He says he can identify other men in similar roles when they say they “run a small investment fund.” “We’re all out there, but we can’t say anything about it,” he says. Paul Sullivan, a stay-at-home dad, has been trying to change that. He founded a group called the Company of Dads, but he found no support groups for men in his position. He reached out for advice. Some said people sometimes made fun of the househusbands, calling them names like “Mr. Mom.” “Two things can be true at once,” Sullivan says. “Moms can be discriminated against in the workplace, and dads can be afraid to take a lead role at home.” 4. What phenomenon is described in paragraph 1? A. Mothers’ greater contribution to the family. B. Children’s pressure from after-school activities. C. Fathers’ more involvement in household duties. D. Fathers’ poor performance in time management. 5. What is the writing purpose of paragraph 3? A. To oppose the competitive nature of Wall Street. B. To describe challenges women face in their careers. C To suggest men should stay at home to support women. D. To show how househusbands help their wives succeed. 6. What can be inferred about the stay-at-home dads from paragraph 4&5? A. They are widely accepted as main caregivers. B. They are proud of being stay-at-home parents. C. They try to play down their caregiving roles. D. They struggle to balance work and family. 7. What is people’s attitude to Sullivan’s initiative? A. Appreciative. B. Ambiguous. C. Tolerant. D. Disapproving. C Denmark, known for its inventive restaurants and elegant design studios, is about to become known for something more basic: the world’s first belch (打嗝) and manure (粪便) tax. That’s because there are five times as many pigs and cows in Denmark as there are people. Nearly two-thirds of its land is taken up by farming. And agriculture is becoming its largest share of climate pollution, putting lawmakers under intense public pressure to reduce it. So now, Denmark’s government, has agreed to tax the methane emissions (甲烷排放) released by farm animals. The measure was passed this month, making it the only such climate tax on farm animals in the world. “I think it’s good,” said Rasmus, a 31-year-old citizen who was shopping for dinner in Copenhagen. “It’s a gentle push to encourage plant-based diets, perhaps fewer pork choices.” The tax is part of a larger package designed to clean up the country’s agricultural pollution and eventually restore some farmland to its natural form, like peat lands (泥炭地), which are exceptionally good at trapping planet-heating gases underground but were emptied decades ago. Denmark’s effort is also a wake-up call for many agricultural nations, including the United States, as they face the same calls to reduce pollution from farms. Globally, the food system accounts for a fourth of greenhouse gases, and reducing those emissions requires making tough choices on diets, jobs and industries. That makes food a particularly challenging climate problem to address. No wonder that efforts to reduce agriculture’s climate emissions have faced strong resistance, from Brussels to Delhi to Wellington, where the New Zealand government proposed a burp tax in 2022 only to have a later government overturn it. Even Denmark’s measure faced heated political debates and has been under negotiation for years. The measure was finally passed in November. Starting in 2030, it will charge farmers 300 Danish kroner (around $43) for every ton of carbon dioxide. By 2035, the tax will more than double to 750 kroner (S106). A bigger, more difficult dilemma still looms: Will Denmark continue to tum over so much of its land to cows and pigs? 8. Why did Denmark introduce a “belch and manure” tax? A. To boost its tourism through new taxes. B. To improve animal welfare on farms. C. To reduce climate pollution from animals. D. To take a lead role in environmental protection. 9. What can be inferred about the new tax? A. It is opposed by most citizens in Denmark. B. It aims to ultimately restore natural landscapes. C. It will quickly address the agricultural pollution. D. It has drawn inspiration from the United States. 10. What is the main idea of paragraph 6? A. Praising Denmark’s successful tax measure. B. Comparing the food policies of different countries. C. Discussing the benefits of reducing farm emissions. D. Explaining the challenges in cutting farm emissions. 11. What does the text mainly talk about? A. Denmark’s groundbreaking emission tax. B. How Denmark reshapes global farming. C. The future of Denmark’s agricultural industry. D. Global struggle to reduce agricultural pollution. D Nietzsche (尼采) was wrong: When you gaze long enough into the abyss (深渊), the abyss does not gaze back into you. Instead, the cosmic void (黑洞) remains silent, relentless and frightening in its vastness. When looking at the vast emptiness of the universe, there is a temptation (诱惑) to look at our tiny world with nihilism. To feel that our great achievements amount to nothing. That our history fails to leave a mark. That our concerns and anxieties are pointless. I’m a cosmologist, the kind of scientist who studies the origin, history and evolution of the universe. I have spent years working to understand what cosmic voids teach us. And in the course of my studies, I have learned to reject that temptation. It’s true that Earth is neither large nor long-lived, but that is only one way of measuring significance. Compared with the cosmic voids, there is something special happening on our planet. Earth is still the only known place in the entire universe where conscious beings raise their curious eyes to the sky and wonder. Earth is the only known place where humans can exist. It is the only known place where laughter, love, anger and joy exist. The only known place where we can find dance, music, and art. Our disagreements and all the beautiful complexities that make us human aren’t meaningless. The experiences in our lives are special because they will never happen in the empty expanse of most of the universe The same lessons that cosmic voids teach us are found in the voids we encounter in our own lives. The presence of voids guarantees the opposite; they create contrast; they are full of potential. The pain we feel from loss is the last reminder of the gift of a life deeply loved. The silence before a performance is full of electric expectation. Our choice to ignore stressful news is necessary to allow us to focus on what truly matters. Artists have long understood the power of the void. The 12th-century poet Saigyo noted that the pauses between raindrops were as important as the drops themselves. The famed architect Rem celebrated the utility of negative spaces, proclaiming, “Where there is nothing, everything is possible.” The universe won’t do anything for us except give us the freedom to exist. It is our job to fill the universe with meaning and purpose. 12 What does the underlined word “nihilism” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Hope. B. Admiration. C. Meaninglessness. D. Purpose 13. Why does the author reject the temptation? A. He is a cosmologist who believes science. B. Earth is the only place for human experiences. C. Human experiences differ from those in voids. D. Earth is special because it is small and short-lived 14. What is the author doing in paragraph 5? A. Explaining how voids in life offer meaning. B. Stating that voids in life should be avoided. C. Criticizing the role of voids in universe and life. D. Arguing voids should be filed for more meaning. 15. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To clarify Nietzsche’s philosophy. B. To explore the unique significance of voids. C. To report a scientific study of cosmic voids. D. To criticize passive views on human achievements. 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。有两项为多余选项。 Many people struggle to say “no” to requests from others, both in the workplace and their personal lives, which leaves them feeling exhausted. Saying no isn’t always negative. ____16____ Declining the tasks we can’t handle is an exercise in self-care. It’s about respecting our own time, energy, and personal limits, and being respected in return. It’s also about reducing stress and learning how to set boundaries. However, saying no isn’t easy for some people. ____17____ For these people, a “soft no” can be a good start. This involves providing an explanation, without being overly apologetic. For instance, “Thank you so much for asking me to work on this project. It sounds really interesting, but I can’t handle this right now.” Over time, as confidence grows, use “hard no” responses. A “hard no” is firm, clear, and brief. For example, “No, thank you,” or “Thank you, but I’m not available this week.” Saying no gets easier the more we practice. ____18____ However, we should only accept requests that match with our personal values, make us feel good, and for which we truly have the time and energy. Perhaps we worry unnecessarily about saying no to other people. A recent study showed that the negative consequences of declining requests are less than we think, especially in social situations. Furthermore, we tend to overestimate how others will react to our refusals. ____19____ Of course, having difficulty saying no isn’t a mental illness. If it’s a persistent concern, however, it might be a sign of something deeper. ____20____ In these cases, seeking treatment can allow the person to deal with any underlying issues. A. It can be a healthy thing. B. It can be a skill that requires intentional practice. C. Saying yes to everything is a people-pleasing behavior. D. Learning to say no doesn’t mean we can’t ever say yes. E. This behavior can reveal low self-esteem or personality disorders. F. In fact, most reactions are far more positive or neutral than we anticipate. G. We might fear refusing a request will anger our friends, family and peers. 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，从每题所给的A 、B 、C 、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I was at a conference with Jack when a cry for medical help broke the silence.

Little did I know, a few weeks later, I would be given a chance to ____27____ that lesson. It was a Saturday like any other until I found my husband, Ken, collapsed on the floor, ____28____ breathing. My first aid training kicked in, and as I called for help, I felt surprisingly composed, recalling the moment at the ____29____ . At the hospital, we learned Ken had suffered a severe stroke (中风) at just 44. I realized our lives had irreversibly changed. We were being given a great test.

But I recently learned that an unknown waltz by the eminent composer Chopin, ____36____ (write) nearly 200 years ago, had been discovered in the basement of the Morgan Library & Museum in New York. It ____37____ (find) in a collection of memorabilia (收藏品), alongside postcards signed by Picasso and letters from Tchaikovsky.

Such kind of works are rare in classical music, especially for Chopin, ____40____ composed fewer works than other composers. We knew that readers would want to hear the waltz, but we needed a ____41____ (music) who could do it justice. I immediately thought of Lang Lang, one of the biggest stars in classical music. I told him about the ____42____ (new) discovered Chopin and sent him the score. “Wow. this is a great piece!” he said in a voice message. “I’m very surprised. It’s very Chopin. It must be Chopin. It sounds very much like Chopin, with a very dramatic darkness turning into a positive thing It’s beautiful.” While Lang was in New York, I met up with him ____43____ (record) the waltz. He adjusted his interpretation after each take, ____44____ (change) the tempo and refining the quiet opening notes. Sitting near the piano, I asked him _____45_____ people should care about this waltz, 175 years after Chopin’s death. “This level of music making-it always touches us the deepest,” he said. “To have a new work by this level of great artist — we’re just so lucky. Just enjoy it.” 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 46. 你是李华，从海外网站购买了围巾作为妈妈的礼物，但收到后发现质量差，与描述不符。请写一封投诉信给卖家。内容包括： 1. 描述问题： 2. 提出要求。 注意： 1. 写作词数应80左右： 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Sir/Madam, _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Best regards, Li Hua 第二节（满分25分） 47. 读后续写 When I was in fifth grade, I moved to Vermont. Everything here was different. I quickly grew fond of the place. I loved the garden, the woods, the snow. I loved everything here, except for the slush (融雪). Now it’s slush season, or mud season. The outside is covered in thick wet slush that flows through your snow pants and your boots. Everything is soggy (湿透的). I hate soggy. Today was even worse. I forgot my boots. Now I had to walk through knee-deep slush in my indoor shoes. Indoor shoes get wet fast. If I wore them on the playground, I could feel the cold slush running through the shoes with every step. The teachers here are serious about break time. It’s sharply different from my old school where even a small conversation could cost you the whole week’s break time. One time, a teacher took away break time ‘cause a kid held his breath for too long’. Here, though, the teachers here are crazy about recess. They’ll force you to go out for break time even if you really don’t want to. “Natalie, you have to go outside for break time, ” Ms. White said. She’s super nice, but today I’m not going to listen to her. “I don't want to, ” I grumbled. “It’s school policy that we send every kid out for daily recess. Time outdoors helps you pay attention in class.” She explained. “But it’s soggy outside,” I complained, “I know it’s soggy, but you have to go outside anyway. Everyone else is outside.” I glanced at my wet shoes and imagined how much worse my cold socks would feel. There’s only one thing left to do. Completely refuse. “I’m not going outside, ” I said firmly, sitting down hard in my chair. “Natalie, It’s not a choice. ” She insisted, calm but firm. “I’m not going!” I repeated, louder this time. Maybe I yelled it. I was not sure. Whatever I did. It was that for Ms. White to send me to the principal’s office. As I walked to the principal’s office, memories from my past rushed into my mind. Just like at my old school, I would get yelled at, the principal would call my parents. I’d have to write an essay on the importance of not talking back to adults. Now I’ll face the same trouble. Crazy. 注意： 1. 续写的词数应为150左右： 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The principal opened the door _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I couldn’t believe what he said _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 保密★启用前 2024学年顺德区普通高中高三教学质量检测（二） 英语试题 2025. 2 本试卷共8页，满分120分，考试用时120分钟。 注意事项： 1. 本试卷分选择题和非选择题两部分。答卷前，考生务必用黑色钢笔或签字笔将自己的姓名、 考生号填写在答题卡上。条形码横贴在“条形码粘贴处”。因笔试不考听力，试题从第二部分的“阅读理解”开始，试题序号从“21”开始。 2. 作答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B 铅笔在答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑；如需 要改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案。非选择题必须用黑色字迹的钢笔或签字笔作答， 答案必须写在答题卡相应位置；答案写在试卷上无效。 第二部分阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2. 5分，满分37. 5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Tiny Memoir Contest for Students Can you tell a meaningful, true story from your life in just 100 words?

A hotly competitive industry that demands long hours, frequent travel and the need to be on call constantly, it has been an unwelcoming environment for women, particularly those with children. Managing the arrangements is a challenging task. Women leaders in finance say that having a partner who stays home can relieve that burden. The disheartening part of the message is that you can’t achieve if one parent isn’t at home. (华尔街长期以来在女性员工的晋升和留任方面一直存在困难。这是一个竞争激烈、要求长时间工作、频繁出差且随时待命的行业，对女性，尤其是育有子女的女性来说，并不是一个友好的工作环境。处理这些安排是一项艰巨的任务。金融领域的女性领导者表示，如果有一方留在家里，可以减轻她们的负担。但令人沮丧的是，如果父母中有一方不在家，她们就难以实现职业上的成功)”可知，第三段的目的主要是描述女性在职业生涯中面临的挑战。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第四段“For the men, being a househusband can come with a negative perception:Society often still assumes men will be the bigger earners and women the main caregivers. Not all men are as comfortable in the position. One stay-at-home dad says he sometimes tells other men that he manages real estate — technically true because the family owns a few buildings. He says he can identify other men in similar roles when they say they “run a small investment fund.” (对于男性来说，做家庭主夫可能会带来负面的看法：社会往往仍然认为男性应该是家庭的主要经济支柱，而女性则是主要的照顾者。并不是所有男性都能坦然接受这种角色。一位全职父亲说，他有时会告诉其他男性，他管理房地产——从技术上讲这是真的，因为家里拥有几栋楼。他说，当其他处于类似角色的男性说他们“经营着一个小型投资基金”时，他能认出他们)”和第五段““We’re all out there, but we can’t say anything about it,” he says. (“我们都在这里，但我们什么都不能说，”他说。)”可知，对于男性来说，成为家庭主夫可能会带来负面的看法，不是所有男性都对这个位置感到自在，有些男性甚至会掩饰自己的照顾者角色。因此，可以推断出留在家中的父亲们试图淡化他们的照顾者角色。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段中“Paul Sullivan, a stay-at-home dad, has been trying to change that. He founded a group called the Company of Dads, but he found no support groups for men in his position. He reached out for advice. Some said people sometimes made fun of the househusbands, calling them names like “Mr. Mom.” (保罗·沙利文也是一位全职父亲，他一直在努力改变这种现状。他创立了一个名为“父亲陪伴”的团体，但他发现没有支持他这种处境男性的团体。他寻求建议。有人说，人们有时会嘲笑家庭主夫，给他们起诸如“妈妈先生”之类的绰号)”可知，Sullivan试图改变人们对家庭主夫的看法，但他发现没有支持他这种立场的男性团体。他寻求建议时，有些人有时会嘲笑家庭主夫，给他们起“妈妈先生”之类的绰号。这表明人们对Sullivan的倡议持反对的态度。故选D。 C Denmark, known for its inventive restaurants and elegant design studios, is about to become known for something more basic: the world’s first belch (打嗝) and manure (粪便) tax. That’s because there are five times as many pigs and cows in Denmark as there are people. Nearly two-thirds of its land is taken up by farming. And agriculture is becoming its largest share of climate pollution, putting lawmakers under intense public pressure to reduce it. So now, Denmark’s government, has agreed to tax the methane emissions (甲烷排放) released by farm animals. The measure was passed this month, making it the only such climate tax on farm animals in the world. “I think it’s good,” said Rasmus, a 31-year-old citizen who was shopping for dinner in Copenhagen. “It’s a gentle push to encourage plant-based diets, perhaps fewer pork choices.” The tax is part of a larger package designed to clean up the country’s agricultural pollution and eventually restore some farmland to its natural form, like peat lands (泥炭地), which are exceptionally good at trapping planet-heating gases underground but were emptied decades ago. Denmark’s effort is also a wake-up call for many agricultural nations, including the United States, as they face the same calls to reduce pollution from farms. Globally, the food system accounts for a fourth of greenhouse gases, and reducing those emissions requires making tough choices on diets, jobs and industries. That makes food a particularly challenging climate problem to address. No wonder that efforts to reduce agriculture’s climate emissions have faced strong resistance, from Brussels to Delhi to Wellington, where the New Zealand government proposed a burp tax in 2022 only to have a later government overturn it. Even Denmark’s measure faced heated political debates and has been under negotiation for years. The measure was finally passed in November. Starting in 2030, it will charge farmers 300 Danish kroner (around $43) for every ton of carbon dioxide. By 2035, the tax will more than double to 750 kroner (S106). A bigger, more difficult dilemma still looms: Will Denmark continue to tum over so much of its land to cows and pigs? 8. Why did Denmark introduce a “belch and manure” tax? A. To boost its tourism through new taxes. B. To improve animal welfare on farms. C. To reduce climate pollution from animals. D. To take a lead role in environmental protection. 9. What can be inferred about the new tax? A. It is opposed by most citizens in Denmark. B. It aims to ultimately restore natural landscapes. C. It will quickly address the agricultural pollution. D. It has drawn inspiration from the United States. 10. What is the main idea of paragraph 6? A. Praising Denmark’s successful tax measure. B. Comparing the food policies of different countries. C. Discussing the benefits of reducing farm emissions. D. Explaining the challenges in cutting farm emissions. 11. What does the text mainly talk about? A. Denmark’s groundbreaking emission tax. B. How Denmark reshapes global farming. C. The future of Denmark’s agricultural industry. D. Global struggle to reduce agricultural pollution. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲述了丹麦为了减少农业产生的气候污染而引入的创新排放税，并探讨了该税的背景、目的以及实施所面临的挑战。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“And agriculture is becoming its largest share of climate pollution, putting lawmakers under intense public pressure to reduce it. So now, Denmark’s government, has agreed to tax the methane emissions released by farm animals. (农业正在成为气候污染的最大来源，这让立法者面临着巨大的公众压力，要求他们减少污染。所以现在，丹麦政府已经同意对农场动物排放的甲烷征税。)”可知，丹麦要征收“打嗝和粪便”税是为了减少动物对气候的污染。故选C。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“The tax is part of a larger package designed to clean up the country’s agricultural pollution and eventually restore some farmland to its natural form, like peat lands, which are exceptionally good at trapping planet-heating gases underground but were emptied decades ago. (这项税收是一项更大的计划的一部分，该计划旨在清理该国的农业污染，并最终恢复一些农田的自然形态，比如泥炭地，这些土地特别擅长将地球加热的气体困在地下，但在几十年前就被清空了。)”可知，新税的最终目标是恢复自然景观。故选B。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第六段“Globally, the food system accounts for a fourth of greenhouse gases, and reducing those emissions requires making tough choices on diets, jobs and industries. That makes food a particularly challenging climate problem to address.(在全球范围内，粮食系统产生了四分之一的温室气体，减少这些排放需要在饮食、就业和工业方面做出艰难的选择。这使得食品成为一个特别具有挑战性的气候问题。)”可知，第六段主要内容是解释减少农业排放的挑战。故选D。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Denmark, known for its inventive restaurants and elegant design studios, is about to become known for something more basic:the world’s first belch and manure tax. (以创意餐厅和优雅设计工作室闻名的丹麦，即将以一项更基本的东西而闻名：世界上第一个打嗝和粪便税。)”可知，本文主要讲的是丹麦即将实施的“打嗝和粪便税”，这是世界上首个针对农场动物甲烷排放的税收，因此主旨是A选项“Denmark’s groundbreaking emission tax. (丹麦开创性的排放税。)”。故选A。 D Nietzsche (尼采) was wrong: When you gaze long enough into the abyss (深渊), the abyss does not gaze back into you. Instead, the cosmic void (黑洞) remains silent, relentless and frightening in its vastness. When looking at the vast emptiness of the universe, there is a temptation (诱惑) to look at our tiny world with nihilism. To feel that our great achievements amount to nothing. That our history fails to leave a mark. That our concerns and anxieties are pointless. I’m a cosmologist, the kind of scientist who studies the origin, history and evolution of the universe. I have spent years working to understand what cosmic voids teach us. And in the course of my studies, I have learned to reject that temptation. It’s true that Earth is neither large nor long-lived, but that is only one way of measuring significance. Compared with the cosmic voids, there is something special happening on our planet. Earth is still the only known place in the entire universe where conscious beings raise their curious eyes to the sky and wonder. Earth is the only known place where humans can exist. It is the only known place where laughter, love, anger and joy exist. The only known place where we can find dance, music, and art. Our disagreements and all the beautiful complexities that make us human aren’t meaningless. The experiences in our lives are special because they will never happen in the empty expanse of most of the universe The same lessons that cosmic voids teach us are found in the voids we encounter in our own lives. The presence of voids guarantees the opposite; they create contrast; they are full of potential. The pain we feel from loss is the last reminder of the gift of a life deeply loved. The silence before a performance is full of electric expectation. Our choice to ignore stressful news is necessary to allow us to focus on what truly matters. Artists have long understood the power of the void. The 12th-century poet Saigyo noted that the pauses between raindrops were as important as the drops themselves. The famed architect Rem celebrated the utility of negative spaces, proclaiming, “Where there is nothing, everything is possible.” The universe won’t do anything for us except give us the freedom to exist. It is our job to fill the universe with meaning and purpose. 12. What does the underlined word “nihilism” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Hope. B. Admiration. C. Meaninglessness. D. Purpose 13. Why does the author reject the temptation? A. He is a cosmologist who believes science. B. Earth is the only place for human experiences. C. Human experiences differ from those in voids. D. Earth is special because it is small and short-lived 14. What is the author doing in paragraph 5? A. Explaining how voids in life offer meaning. B. Stating that voids in life should be avoided. C. Criticizing the role of voids in universe and life. D. Arguing voids should be filed for more meaning. 15. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To clarify Nietzsche’s philosophy. B. To explore the unique significance of voids. C. To report a scientific study of cosmic voids. D. To criticize passive views on human achievements. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章通过理性论证和感性表达，探讨人类存在的意义及其与宇宙的关系。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“To feel that our great achievements amount to nothing. That our history fails to leave a mark. That our concerns and anxieties are pointless.(感到我们的伟大成就毫无价值。我们的历史没有留下痕迹。我们的担心和焦虑是毫无意义的)”可知，和浩瀚无垠的宇宙相比，我们这个渺小的世界是无意义的。由此推知，划线词nihilism应是“无意义”之意，和C项意思相近。故选C项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“It’s true that Earth is neither large nor long-lived, but that is only one way of measuring significance. Compared with the cosmic voids, there is something special happening on our planet. Earth is still the only known place in the entire universe where conscious beings raise their curious eyes to the sky and wonder. Earth is the only known place where humans can exist. It is the only known place where laughter, love, anger and joy exist. The only known place where we can find dance, music, and art. Our disagreements and all the beautiful complexities that make us human aren’t meaningless. The experiences in our lives are special because they will never happen in the empty expanse of most of the universe.(没错，地球既不大也不长，但这只是衡量意义的一种方式。与宇宙的空洞相比，我们的星球上发生了一些特别的事情。地球仍然是整个宇宙中唯一已知的地方，在那里有意识的人类抬起他们好奇的眼睛仰望天空并感到惊奇。地球是唯一已知的人类可以生存的地方。这是我们所知的唯一存在欢笑、爱、愤怒和喜悦的地方。这里是我们唯一能找到舞蹈、音乐和艺术的地方。我们的分歧和所有使我们成为人类的美丽的复杂性并非毫无意义。我们生命中的经历是特别的，因为它们永远不会发生在宇宙的大部分空间里)”可知，地球是人类唯一能体验的地方，所以作者拒绝这种诱惑。故选B项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“The same lessons that cosmic voids teach us are found in the voids we encounter in our own lives. The presence of voids guarantees the opposite; they create contrast; they are full of potential. The pain we feel from loss is the last reminder of the gift of a life deeply loved. The silence before a performance is full of electric expectation. Our choice to ignore stressful news is necessary to allow us to focus on what truly matters.(宇宙虚空教给我们的同样道理，也可以在我们自己生活中遇到的虚空中找到。空洞的存在保证了相反的结果；它们创造了对比；他们充满了潜力。我们因失去亲人而感到的痛苦，是对深爱生命的礼物的最后提醒。演出前的寂静中充满了令人兴奋的期待。我们选择忽略有压力的新闻是必要的，这样我们才能专注于真正重要的事情)”可推知，作者在本段解释生活中的空虚如何带来意义。故选A项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Nietzsche (尼采) was wrong: When you gaze long enough into the abyss (深渊), the abyss does not gaze back into you. Instead, the cosmic void (黑洞) remains silent, relentless and frightening in its vastness.(尼采错了：当你凝视深渊的时间足够长时，深渊不会回望你。相反，宇宙的虚空在它的浩瀚中保持着沉默、无情和可怕)”以及纵观全文可知，本文主要讨论了尽管宇宙的虚空和广阔可能让人感到渺小和无意义，但地球上的生命和人类体验具有独特的意义。由此推知，本文目的是探讨虚空的独特意义。故选B项。 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。有两项为多余选项。 Many people struggle to say “no” to requests from others, both in the workplace and their personal lives, which leaves them feeling exhausted. Saying no isn’t always negative. ____16____ Declining the tasks we can’t handle is an exercise in self-care. It’s about respecting our own time, energy, and personal limits, and being respected in return. It’s also about reducing stress and learning how to set boundaries. However, saying no isn’t easy for some people. ____17____ For these people, a “soft no” can be a good start. This involves providing an explanation, without being overly apologetic. For instance, “Thank you so much for asking me to work on this project. It sounds really interesting, but I can’t handle this right now.” Over time, as confidence grows, use “hard no” responses. A “hard no” is firm, clear, and brief. For example, “No, thank you,” or “Thank you, but I’m not available this week.” Saying no gets easier the more we practice. ____18____ However, we should only accept requests that match with our personal values, make us feel good, and for which we truly have the time and energy. Perhaps we worry unnecessarily about saying no to other people. A recent study showed that the negative consequences of declining requests are less than we think, especially in social situations. Furthermore, we tend to overestimate how others will react to our refusals. ____19____ Of course, having difficulty saying no isn’t a mental illness. If it’s a persistent concern, however, it might be a sign of something deeper. ____20____ In these cases, seeking treatment can allow the person to deal with any underlying issues. A. It can be a healthy thing. B. It can be a skill that requires intentional practice. C. Saying yes to everything is a people-pleasing behavior. D. Learning to say no doesn’t mean we can’t ever say yes. E. This behavior can reveal low self-esteem or personality disorders. F. In fact, most reactions are far more positive or neutral than we anticipate. G. We might fear refusing a request will anger our friends, family and peers. 【答案】16. A 17. B 18. D 19. F 20. E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了学会说“不”的重要性，它是一种自我关怀，需要练习，并有助于我们设定界限。 【16题详解】 由上文“Many people struggle to say “no” to requests from others, both in the workplace and their personal lives, which leaves them feeling exhausted. Saying no isn’t always negative. (许多人在工作和生活中都很难对别人的请求说“不”，这让他们感到筋疲力尽。说“不”并不总是坏事。)”可知，本空应进一步阐述说“不”的积极面。A选项“It can be a healthy thing. (它可以是一件健康的事。)”强调了说“不”的积极意义，能承接上文，符合题意。故选A。 【17题详解】 由上文“However, saying no isn’t easy for some people. (然而，对一些人来说，说“不”并不容易。)”和下文“For these people, a “soft no” can be a good start. This involves providing an explanation, without being overly apologetic. For instance, “Thank you so much for asking me to work on this project. It sounds really interesting, but I can’t handle this right now.” Over time, as confidence grows, use “hard no” responses. A “hard no” is firm, clear, and brief. For example, “No, thank you,” or “Thank you, but I’m not available this week.” Saying no gets easier the more we practice. (然而，对一些人来说，说“不”并不容易。对于这些人来说，“柔和的拒绝”可以是一个好的开始。这包括给出一个解释，但不必过于道歉。例如，“非常感谢你邀请我参与这个项目。它听起来很有趣，但我现在无法处理。”随着时间的推移，随着自信心的增强，可以使用“坚决的拒绝”来回应。一个“坚决的拒绝”是坚定、明确且简洁的。例如，“不，谢谢”，或者“谢谢，但这周我没空”。我们练习得越多，说“不”就变得越容易。)”可知，上文提出说“不”对一些人来说不容易，下文介绍了说“不”的渐进的方法，本空应提示读者说“不”是一种需要训练的技能。B选项“It can be a skill that requires intentional practice. (这可能是一种需要刻意练习的技能。)”为下文提出“soft no”作为开始提供了背景，能承上启下，符合题意。故选B。 【18题详解】 由下文“However, we should only accept requests that match with our personal values, make us feel good, and for which we truly have the time and energy. (然而，我们只应该接受符合我们个人价值观、让我们感觉良好，并且我们真正有时间和精力去完成的请求。)”可知，本空应引出如何恰当地接受请求，强调学会拒绝并不排除接受合适的请求。D选项“Learning to say no doesn’t mean we can’t ever say yes. (学会说“不”并不意味着我们永远不能说“是”。)”能引起下文，符合题意。故选D。 【19题详解】 由上文“Furthermore, we tend to overestimate how others will react to our refusals. (此外，我们往往高估了别人对我们拒绝的反应。)”可知，本空应进一步说明实际情况与我们的预期有何不同。F选项“In fact, most reactions are far more positive or neutral than we anticipate. (事实上，大多数反应远比我们预想的要积极或中立。)”指出了我们预期的偏差，能承接上文，符合题意。故选F。 【20题详解】 由上文“If it’s a persistent concern, however, it might be a sign of something deeper. (然而，如果这是一个持续的问题，它可能是更深层次问题的迹象。)”可知，本空应进一步解释这种更深层次的问题可能是什么。E选项“This behavior can reveal low self-esteem or personality disorders. (这种行为可能暴露出低自尊或人格障碍。)”指出了持续难以拒绝他人可能反映出的心理问题，能承接上文，符合题意。故选E。 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，从每题所给的A 、B 、C 、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I was at a conference with Jack when a cry for medical help broke the silence.

I loved everything here, except for the slush (融雪). Now it’s slush season, or mud season. The outside is covered in thick wet slush that flows through your snow pants and your boots. Everything is soggy (湿透的). I hate soggy. Today was even worse. I forgot my boots. Now I had to walk through knee-deep slush in my indoor shoes. Indoor shoes get wet fast. If I wore them on the playground, I could feel the cold slush running through the shoes with every step. The teachers here are serious about break time. It’s sharply different from my old school, where even a small conversation could cost you the whole week’s break time. One time, a teacher took away break time ‘cause a kid held his breath for too long’. Here, though, the teachers here are crazy about recess. They’ll force you to go out for break time even if you really don’t want to. “Natalie, you have to go outside for break time, ” Ms. White said. She’s super nice, but today I’m not going to listen to her. “I don't want to, ” I grumbled. “It’s school policy that we send every kid out for daily recess. Time outdoors helps you pay attention in class.” She explained. “But it’s soggy outside,” I complained, “I know it’s soggy, but you have to go outside anyway. Everyone else is outside.” I glanced at my wet shoes and imagined how much worse my cold socks would feel. There’s only one thing left to do. Completely refuse. “I’m not going outside, ” I said firmly, sitting down hard in my chair. “Natalie, It’s not a choice. ” She insisted, calm but firm. “I’m not going!” I repeated, louder this time. Maybe I yelled it. I was not sure. Whatever I did. It was that for Ms. White to send me to the principal’s office. As I walked to the principal’s office, memories from my past rushed into my mind. Just like at my old school, I would get yelled at, the principal would call my parents. I’d have to write an essay on the importance of not talking back to adults. Now I’ll face the same trouble. Crazy. 注意： 1. 续写的词数应为150左右： 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The principal opened the door _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I couldn’t believe what he said _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】The principal opened the door. He knew exactly why I was here. Too scared to look at his face, I instead concentrated on his tie. They’re always different. Today’s has little bicycles. “So,” he began, “why don’t you want to go out for recess?” I took a deep breath and told the truth. “Oh, OK”. He didn’t actually sound mad, which was totally beyond my expectations. I kept looking at his tie. “You know we have recess every day, though, right?” I nodded nervously. “You’re in fifth grade now. You’re old enough to take responsibility and bring your boots to school. If you don’t, you’re going to get wet socks. That’s just how it works.” He paused. I waited for the yelling part, but then, to my shock, he said, “Do you want to play with some puzzles in my office for the rest of recess?” I couldn’t believe what he said. Shocked, I followed him to a table of puzzles. There was a whole table covered in puzzle-toys, in a principal’s office. My jaw almost dropped. “Tomorrow, don’t forget to bring your boots to school.” he said while passing me the puzzles. I nodded. He didn’t yell at me at all. He didn’t punish me. He didn’t call my parents. He didn’t make me write an essay. He didn’t even make me go outside for the rest of recess! And now I got to play with his cool stuff. How different things are here! As I took out the mysterious puzzles, I smiled to myself. Tomorrow, I’d remember to bring my boots. Vermont is really a magical place. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。当作者五年级搬到佛蒙特州时，作者讨厌那里的融雪季节。今天忘穿靴子，作者不得不穿着室内鞋走过齐膝深的融雪。作者拒绝去户外休息，但老师坚持要求，最终作者可能被送到校长办公室。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“校长打开了门。”可知，第一段可以描写作者和校长相处时二人的交流，以及校长的处理方式。 ②由第二段句首内容“我简直不敢相信他说的话。”可知，第二段可以描写作者度过剩余时间的方式和作者对于户外活动态度的转变。 2.续写线索：校长打开门—校长提出解决方案—简直不敢相信—没有惩罚—一定会记得带靴子—感受 3词汇激活 行为类 ①专心于：concentrate on/fix one’s attention on ②深呼吸：take a deep breath/breathe deeply ③对某人大喊大叫：yell at sb./shout at sb. 情绪类 ①害怕的：scared/fearful ②紧张地：nervously/anxiously 【点睛】【高分句型1】He knew exactly why I was here.
