Hidden London: the Exhibition takes you on a journey of some of London’s most secret spaces in the world’s oldest underground system. These “forgotten” parts of the Tube network have incredible stories to tell about Britain’s wartime past. You can enjoy the largest number of rare photos and objects from disused stations that have been brought together in one location. Discover stories about how Churchill took shelter at the height of the Blitz deep underground at Down Street station. See how shelterers lived down at Clapham South station, where they slept and how they kept entertained. You can also explore other locations that we have recreated in our Global Gallery, including the historic abandoned ticket hall at Aldwych station with an original 1930s ticket office. The exhibition uncovers why these “lost” parts of the underground network exist. Changes in population, economic priorities and political pressures have all led to spaces being abandoned. But they rarely stay that way. While some sections of the Tube system lie “forgotten”, many have been repurposed for new activities and are used for special Hidden London tours, growing salad leaves, and for filming locations, including Charing Cross, which featured in Skyfall (2012). Admission Charges: Child Ticket: FREE Adult Ticket: £16.50 per ticket Reduced Ticket: £15.50 per ticket Reduced price applies to senior citizens (60+) and visitors with disabilities. Opening Times: Every day: 10:00-18:00 Last entry: 17:00 Address: 39 Wellington Street, Covent Garden, London 21. What can visitors do at the exhibition? A. Admire a collection of photos. B. Buy tickets in a deserted hall. C. Grow vegetables underground. D. Live a sheltered life in war time. 22. Which station was used as a film set? A. Aldwych. B. Down Street. C. Charing Cross. D. Clapham South. 23. How much should a kid with grandparents both aged 57 pay for the admission? A. £31 B. £33 C. £46.5 D. £49.5 B As a child, there was nothing I liked better than Sunday afternoons at my grandfather's farm in western Pennsylvania. Surrounded by miles of winding stone walls, the house and field provided endless hours of fun for a city kid like me. Since my first visit to the farm, I had wanted more than anything to be allowed to climb the stone walls surrounding the houses. My parents would never agree because the walls were so old that some stones were loose and falling. However, my idea to climb across those walls grew so strong that finally I had all my courage to enter the living room, where the adults had gathered after Sunday dinner. “I want to climb the stone walls.” I said. “Heavens, no! You’ll hurt yourself!” The response was just as I'd expected. But before I left the room, I was stopped by my grandfather's loud voice. “Now hold on just a minute.” I heard him say. “Let the boy climb the stone walls. He has to learn to do things for himself.” “Go,” he said to me, “and come and see me when you get back. ” For the next two and a half hours I climbed those old walls — and had the time of my life. Later I met with my grandfather to tell him about my adventures. I’ll never forget what he said. “Fred,” he said, smiling, “you made this day a special day just by being yourself. Always remember, there's only one person in this whole world like you, and I like you exactly as you are.” Many years have passed since then, and today I host the television program Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, seen by millions of children throughout America. There have been changes over the years, but one thing remains the same: my message to children at the end of almost every visit. “There’s only one person in this whole world like you,” the kids will hear me say, “and people can like you exactly as you are.” 24. Why did the writer enjoy his visits to the farm? A. There were old stone houses. B. He could experience new fun there. C. He missed his grandfather. D. He was allowed to climb the stone walls. 25. Which of the following statements is true? A. The writer didn’t expect his parents’ disagreement with his climbing the walls. B. The writer didn't know the possible danger of the stone walls. C. The writer's grandfather backed him up to follow his own heart. D. The writer became a TV program host due to his grandfather's influence. 26. Which word can be used to describe the grandfather? A. adventurous. B. open-minded. C. determined. D. responsible. 27. What attitude do the author’s parents hold towards his climbing the stone walls? A. supportive. B. negative. C. objective. D. indifferent. C As the sun sets and the city is enveloped in the peaceful cover of night, a new trend (趋势) is rising quietly across China: the 24-hour library. In addition to staying open 24 hours a day, and featuring a wide variety of books, these libraries are equipped with comprehensive study facilities, including water, electricity, power outlets and restrooms. Some even offer soft drink services and dining options. For Ye, a 25-year-old from Weihai, East China’s Shandong Province, the local 24-hour library is an invaluable resource as she is preparing for the civil service exam. Hired full-time, she finds that traditional library hours do not meet her study needs. “The traditional local libraries usually open at 9 a. m. and close at 10 p. m., which isn’t convenient for working people like me. I can only devote myself to studying early in the morning or late at night,” Ye said. Similarly, Ma, a 20-year-old sophomore from East China’s Anhui Province, often visits a 24-hour library in Huai’an. During long holidays such as the summer and winter vacations, she goes there almost every day, staying for up to nine hours each time to study subjects like computer science, English, and law, according to Ma. “This library is very quiet as many people are studying. It motivates me,” Ma noted, although she admitted that occasional noise can be a distraction. A social media user surnamed Luo often visits a 24-hour library in Beijing’s Xicheng district. “The place is packed with more people reading than working, and others preparing for exams. The atmosphere is quite peaceful,” Luo told the Global Times. “There’s a noticeable increase in visitors at night, including seniors with children and professionals, but most go there to read. It feels quite relaxing. Now, besides cafes, there’s another place for me to go after work in the evening ,” Luo added. According to a national reading survey, in April, the average Chinese adult read 4.75 physical books and 3.40 e-books in 2023. As of the end of 2023, China boasted 3,246 public libraries with a total collection of 1.44 billion books, marking a 5.6 percent increase from 2022. 28. What do we know about the 24-hour library? A. It shows the growing love for reading among Chinese citizens. B. Readers can borrow and return books using the self-service machine. C. Reading has become an important part of promoting public education. D. We can invite authors where they share their thoughts and experiences with us. 29. What is the main reason Ye chooses to study at the 24-hour library? A. Because it provides a wide range of information resources. B. Because it offers various choices and convenience. C. Because she enjoys the public study atmosphere. D. Because she longs for the public cultural spaces. 30. How many physical books did the average Chinese adult read in 2023? A. 4.75. B. 3.40. C. 5.60. D. 1.44. 31. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. 24-hour libraries gain popularity across China. B. The libraries are not just a leisure, but a way of life. C. Readers go after a spiritual and cultural life. D. There’s a noticeable increase in visitors to libraries. D Parents often think that their kids should be good at studies and do well in sports. That’s usually the case because parents feel that could help their children go to top colleges. However, Melissa and Mark Wimmer think differently. Their 14-year-old son, Mike, is a prodigy. He is a member of Mensa, which is the world’s top IQ club. He completed his high school, associate’s and bachelor’s degrees all in three years. That’s not all. He also ran two tech companies, founded a third one that works towards controlling the population of lionfish, an invasive species. But the parents are proud that they were able to help Mike with his social skills along with his intellectual skills. Melissa told CNBC that people expected “Young Sheldon” before they met her son. Young Sheldon is a television show about a child talent who is an indoor man and lacks social skills. “But once they talk to Mike, they understand that he’s just a normal 14-year-old that happens to be able to do amazing things,” said Melissa. Mark and Melissa got to know about their child’s intelligence when he entered preschool. A child psychologist told them that their son would need a different course to support his fast development. Many parents aren’t comfortable with putting their children with 18-year-olds, but Mike’s parents saw the value in letting their child go through it. “I wanted him to be social and be able to deal with all the different personalities in the classrooms with older children,” said Melissa. The parents shared that they were able to do this by letting Mike find his own voice and put it to use. “We let him order food when he’s 3 or 4 from the waiter or waitress and introduce himself to people. Those kinds of things are done to encourage him to engage with everyone else and be more comfortable talking to others outside of our environment,” said Melissa. Thanks to his parents, Mike has learned to get along with young and old alike. 32. What does the underlined word “prodigy” in paragraph 2 refer to? A A gifted person. B. A popular student. C. A wildlife biologist. D. A promising businessman. 33. What can we infer about the child in the show Young Sheldon? A. He likes to make friends. B. He is a well-rounded student. C. He is a famous child actor. D. He is poor at dealing with people. 34. How did Mark and Melissa discover their child’s high intelligence? A. Through the suggestion from a child psychologist. B. Through the information provided by his teachers. C. By taking part in a special educational program. D. By watching their child’s behavior in preschool. 35. How did Mike’s parents improve his social skills? A. By letting him go to school alone. B. By placing him in social situations. C. By encouraging him to speak in class. D. By teaching him some communication rules. 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。 Self-management refers to self-control, which is a sign of inner power.

As they walked through the mall, Emily's eyes were drawn to a shiny toy train set in the window of a toy store. She had always wanted one, but she knew that buying it for herself would be selfish. Suddenly, Emily stopped in front of a small jewelry shop. In the display case, she noticed a beautiful silver pocket watch, engraved with delicate flowers. "Mom, look at that watch! Grandpa would love it, "Emily said excitedly.

I still remember when I first started to learn the language, I didn’t really have a problem with the pronunciation. I just had a hard time memorizing words. But I made a great effort and soon I was scoring ten out of ten in all of the tests. By the time I got to university, I could do some writing and translations without much difficulty and I actually enjoyed learning the grammar rules. Then as part of my university course I had to go and live in France for a year. As soon as I arrived I realized I didn’t know how to order the type of coffee I liked and trying to find somewhere to live or stay was something difficult to deal with. I called people about information in the paper but I had to keep putting the phone down because I couldn’t understand a word they were saying — they all spoke so quickly. I could see then that there is no point in just knowing words if you can’t hold a conversation with a native speaker. The ability to speak freely is what helps you get a job hold a conversation, or just buy things you need. 第二部分 阅读理解(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 Hidden London: the Exhibition Visit an “abandoned” Tube station underworld and discover what secrets are hidden beneath our busy streets in our new Hidden London exhibition at London Transport Museum! Hidden London: the Exhibition takes you on a journey of some of London’s most secret spaces in the world’s oldest underground system. These “forgotten” parts of the Tube network have incredible stories to tell about Britain’s wartime past. You can enjoy the largest number of rare photos and objects from disused stations that have been brought together in one location. Discover stories about how Churchill took shelter at the height of the Blitz deep underground at Down Street station. See how shelterers lived down at Clapham South station where they slept and how they kept entertained. You can also explore other locations that we have recreated in our Global Gallery, including the historic abandoned ticket hall at Aldwych station with an original 1930s ticket office. The exhibition uncovers why these “lost” parts of the underground network exist. Changes in population, economic priorities and political pressures have all led to spaces being abandoned. But they rarely stay that way. While some sections of the Tube system lie “forgotten”, many have been repurposed for new activities and are used for special Hidden London tours, growing salad leaves, and for filming locations, including Charing Cross, which featured in Skyfall (2012). Admission Charges: Child Ticket: FREE Adult Ticket: £16.50 per ticket Reduced Ticket: £15.50 per ticket Reduced price applies to senior citizens (60+) and visitors with disabilities. Opening Times: Every day: 10:00-18:00 Last entry: 17:00 Address: 39 Wellington Street, Covent Garden, London 21. What can visitors do at the exhibition? A. Admire a collection of photos. B.

Surrounded by miles of winding stone walls, the house and field provided endless hours of fun for a city kid like me. Since my first visit to the farm, I had wanted more than anything to be allowed to climb the stone walls surrounding the houses. My parents would never agree because the walls were so old that some stones were loose and falling. However, my idea to climb across those walls grew so strong that finally I had all my courage to enter the living room, where the adults had gathered after Sunday dinner. “I want to climb the stone walls.” I said. “Heavens, no! You’ll hurt yourself!” The response was just as I'd expected. But before I left the room, I was stopped by my grandfather's loud voice. “Now hold on just a minute.” I heard him say. “Let the boy climb the stone walls. He has to learn to do things for himself.” “Go,” he said to me, “and come and see me when you get back. ” For the next two and a half hours I climbed those old walls — and had the time of my life. Later I met with my grandfather to tell him about my adventures. I’ll never forget what he said. “Fred,” he said, smiling, “you made this day a special day just by being yourself. Always remember, there's only one person in this whole world like you, and I like you exactly as you are.” Many years have passed since then, and today I host the television program Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, seen by millions of children throughout America. There have been changes over the years, but one thing remains the same: my message to children at the end of almost every visit. “There’s only one person in this whole world like you,” the kids will hear me say, “and people can like you exactly as you are.” 24. Why did the writer enjoy his visits to the farm? A. There were old stone houses. B. He could experience new fun there. C. He missed his grandfather. D. He was allowed to climb the stone walls. 25. Which of the following statements is true? A. The writer didn’t expect his parents’ disagreement with his climbing the walls. B. The writer didn't know the possible danger of the stone walls. C. The writer's grandfather backed him up to follow his own heart. D. The writer became a TV program host due to his grandfather's influence. 26. Which word can be used to describe the grandfather? A. adventurous. B. open-minded. C. determined. D. responsible. 27. What attitude do the author’s parents hold towards his climbing the stone walls? A. supportive. B. negative. C. objective. D. indifferent. 【答案】24. B 25. C 26. B 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者小时候想去爬农场周围古老的石墙，父母不同意，但祖父支持他去做，让他做自己想做的事，这段经历也影响着作者后来给孩子们传递的理念，展现了祖父开放包容的教育态度。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Surrounded by miles of winding stone walls, the house and field provided endless hours of fun for a city kid like me(被绵延数英里蜿蜒的石墙环绕着，这座房子和这片田野为像我这样的城市孩子提供了无尽的乐趣)”可知，作者喜欢去农场是因为在那里能体验到新的乐趣。故选B项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“But before I left the room, I was stopped by my grandfather's loud voice. “Now hold on just a minute.” I heard him say. “Let the boy climb the stone walls. He has to learn to do things for himself.”(但在我离开房间之前，我被祖父响亮的声音拦住了。‘等一下。’我听到他说，‘让这孩子去爬石墙吧。他得学会自己做事。’)”可知，作者的祖父支持他去做自己想做的事，也就是支持他遵从自己的内心，C项表述正确。故选C项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“But before I left the room, I was stopped by my grandfather's loud voice. “Now hold on just a minute.” I heard him say. “Let the boy climb the stone walls. He has to learn to do things for himself.”(但在我离开房间之前，我被祖父响亮的声音拦住了。‘等一下。’我听到他说，‘让这孩子去爬石墙吧。他得学会自己做事。’)”可知，祖父支持作者去爬石墙，认为他应该学会自己做事，并且让作者做自己，这种尊重孩子想法、包容开放的态度，可以推断出祖父是个思想开明的人，“open-minded”符合对祖父的描述。故选B项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“My parents would never agree because the walls were so old that some stones were loose and falling.(我的父母永远不会同意，因为石墙太旧了，有些石头松动并掉落了)”可知父母认为石墙太旧了，担心作者受伤，不同意他去爬石墙，可推理出父母对此事持否定态度，“negative”符合题意。故选B项。 C As the sun sets and the city is enveloped in the peaceful cover of night, a new trend (趋势) is rising quietly across China: the 24-hour library. In addition to staying open 24 hours a day, and featuring a wide variety of books, these libraries are equipped with comprehensive study facilities, including water, electricity, power outlets and restrooms. Some even offer soft drink services and dining options. For Ye, a 25-year-old from Weihai, East China’s Shandong Province, the local 24-hour library is an invaluable resource as she is preparing for the civil service exam. Hired full-time, she finds that traditional library hours do not meet her study needs. “The traditional local libraries usually open at 9 a. m. and close at 10 p. m., which isn’t convenient for working people like me. I can only devote myself to studying early in the morning or late at night,” Ye said. Similarly, Ma, a 20-year-old sophomore from East China’s Anhui Province, often visits a 24-hour library in Huai’an. During long holidays such as the summer and winter vacations, she goes there almost every day, staying for up to nine hours each time to study subjects like computer science, English, and law, according to Ma. “This library is very quiet as many people are studying. It motivates me,” Ma noted, although she admitted that occasional noise can be a distraction. A social media user surnamed Luo often visits a 24-hour library in Beijing’s Xicheng district. “The place is packed with more people reading than working, and others preparing for exams. The atmosphere is quite peaceful,” Luo told the Global Times. “There’s a noticeable increase in visitors at night, including seniors with children and professionals, but most go there to read. It feels quite relaxing. Now, besides cafes, there’s another place for me to go after work in the evening ,” Luo added. According to a national reading survey, in April, the average Chinese adult read 4.75 physical books and 3.40 e-books in 2023. As of the end of 2023, China boasted 3,246 public libraries with a total collection of 1.44 billion books, marking a 5.6 percent increase from 2022. 28. What do we know about the 24-hour library? A. It shows the growing love for reading among Chinese citizens. B. Readers can borrow and return books using the self-service machine. C. Reading has become an important part of promoting public education. D. We can invite authors where they share their thoughts and experiences with us. 29. What is the main reason Ye chooses to study at the 24-hour library? A. Because it provides a wide range of information resources. B. Because it offers various choices and convenience. C. Because she enjoys the public study atmosphere. D. Because she longs for the public cultural spaces. 30. How many physical books did the average Chinese adult read in 2023? A. 4.75. B. 3.40. C. 5.60. D. 1.44. 31. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. 24-hour libraries gain popularity across China. B. The libraries are not just a leisure, but a way of life. C. Readers go after a spiritual and cultural life. D. There’s a noticeable increase in visitors to libraries. 【答案】28. A 29. B 30. A 31.

That’s usually the case because parents feel that could help their children go to top colleges. However, Melissa and Mark Wimmer think differently. Their 14-year-old son, Mike, is a prodigy. He is a member of Mensa, which is the world’s top IQ club. He completed his high school, associate’s and bachelor’s degrees all in three years. That’s not all. He also ran two tech companies, founded a third one that works towards controlling the population of lionfish, an invasive species. But the parents are proud that they were able to help Mike with his social skills along with his intellectual skills. Melissa told CNBC that people expected “Young Sheldon” before they met her son. Young Sheldon is a television show about a child talent who is an indoor man and lacks social skills. “But once they talk to Mike, they understand that he’s just a normal 14-year-old that happens to be able to do amazing things,” said Melissa. Mark and Melissa got to know about their child’s intelligence when he entered preschool. A child psychologist told them that their son would need a different course to support his fast development. Many parents aren’t comfortable with putting their children with 18-year-olds, but Mike’s parents saw the value in letting their child go through it. “I wanted him to be social and be able to deal with all the different personalities in the classrooms with older children,” said Melissa. The parents shared that they were able to do this by letting Mike find his own voice and put it to use. “We let him order food when he’s 3 or 4 from the waiter or waitress and introduce himself to people. Those kinds of things are done to encourage him to engage with everyone else and be more comfortable talking to others outside of our environment,” said Melissa. Thanks to his parents, Mike has learned to get along with young and old alike. 32. What does the underlined word “prodigy” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. A gifted person. B. A popular student. C. A wildlife biologist. D. A promising businessman. 33. What can we infer about the child in the show Young Sheldon? A. He likes to make friends. B. He is a well-rounded student. C. He is a famous child actor. D. He is poor at dealing with people. 34. How did Mark and Melissa discover their child’s high intelligence? A. Through the suggestion from a child psychologist. B. Through the information provided by his teachers. C. By taking part in a special educational program. D. By watching their child’s behavior in preschool. 35. How did Mike’s parents improve his social skills? A. By letting him go to school alone. B. By placing him in social situations. C. By encouraging him to speak in class. D. By teaching him some communication rules. 【答案】32. A 33. D 34. A 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是记叙文。短文通过讲述梅丽莎和马克·威默的故事，描述了他们对儿子迈克的不同教育方式和对他全面发展的重视。 【32题详解】 词句猜测题。根据后文“He is a member of Mensa, which is the world’s top IQ club. He completed his high school, associate’s and bachelor’s degrees all in three years.(他是全球顶尖智商俱乐部Mensa的成员。他在三年内完成了高中、副学士和学士学位)”可知，Mike的智商很高，天赋很好，所以推知prodigy意为“天才”，指的是Mike是一个有天赋的人。故选A项。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Young Sheldon is a television show about a child talent who is an indoor man and lacks social skills.(《少年谢尔顿》是一部关于一个天才孩子缺乏社交技巧的电视剧)”可知，谢尔顿不善于与人打交道。故选D项。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Mark and Melissa got to know about their child’s intelligence when he entered preschool. A child psychologist told them that their son would need a different course to support his fast development.(马克和梅丽莎在儿子上幼儿园时得知他的智力，一位儿童心理学家告诉他们，他们的儿子需要不同的课程来支持他的快速发展)”可知，通过儿童心理学家的建议，马克和梅丽莎知道他们孩子的高智商。故选A项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“The parents shared that they were able to do this by letting Mike find his own voice and put it to use. “We let him order food when he’s 3 or 4 from the waiter or waitress and introduce himself to people. Those kinds of things are done to encourage him to engage with everyone else and be more comfortable talking to others outside of our environment,” said Melissa.(父母表示，他们之所以能够这样做，是因为让迈克找到自己的声音并运用起来。“我们让他在3到4岁时向服务员点餐，向人们介绍自己。这些事情的目的是鼓励他与其他人交流，更加自信地与我们以外的人交谈，”梅丽莎说道)”可知，迈克的父母把他置于社交场合来提高他的社交技能。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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Self-management refers to self-control, which is a sign of inner power. There is no one easy or simple way to learn it, as everyone’s mind works differently from another. ___36___ Here’s a list of ways to develop self-management skills. Have goals If something is important enough for you, it should be written down somewhere as your goal. Whether it is losing some weight or finishing a course with a certain grade, having a goal to reach is important for your motivation. You can certainly have more than one goal. ___37___ Set a schedule Daily or weekly schedules give you more of a feeling that things are being accomplished (完成). Students who set schedules for themselves tend to be a bit more organized and aware of everything that is happening around them. ___38___ For example, they usually like studying for a few hours now and then they can hang out with their friends later. ___39___ If you fail to hit your goals, adjust your goals to make up for your past mistakes. Take a step back and assess (评估) what you are doing and change it. It’s okay not to reach goals, as long as you can acknowledge it honestly and make positive changes towards meeting your goals. ___40___But sometimes you just fall short. Knowing that it’s okay and move on, you can pick yourself back up quickly. The above self-management skills are essential for your development, which can truly change your future. So take it seriously and find ways to improve yourself! A. Be honest to yourself B. Assess yourself honestly C. But there are certain things that work for most. D. You can break it down to yearly, monthly, weekly, and even daily ones. E. As long as you have a clear schedule, it’s possible for you to achieve them all. F. They’re able to think in advance about what they need to accomplish now or later. G. This step is especially hard because you want to feel good about yourself and achieve your goals. 【答案】36. C 37. E 38. F 39. B 40. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是培养自我管理能力的技能。 【36题详解】 根据空前的“There is no one easy or simple way to learn it, as everyone’s mind works differently from another.(没有一种简单或简单的方法来学习它，因为每个人的思维方式都不同。)”可知，人们的思维方式不同，所以没有一种简单的方法可供学习，空后的“Here’s a list of ways to develop self-management skills.(以下是发展自我管理技能的方法列表。)”可知，下面讲述自我管理的几种方法，由此可推断，此空处应为承上启下，C选项“But there are certain things that work for most.(但是有些事情对大多数人都有效。)”中的but为解题关键，将内容从空前过渡到空后，起到承上启下的作用。故选C项。 【37题详解】 根据本段的主题“Have goals(有目标)”可知本段主要讲述的是要拥有目标，根据空前的“You can certainly have more than one goal.(你当然可以有多个目标。)”可知，目标可以有不止一个，E选项“As long as you have a clear schedule, it’s possible for you to achieve them all.(只要你有明确的时间表，你就有可能实现所有这些目标。)”中的代词them指代的是这些目标，且与主题相关。故选E项。 【38题详解】 根据空后的“For example, they usually like studying for a few hours now and then they can hang out with their friends later.(例如，他们通常喜欢偶尔学习几个小时，然后他们可以和朋友出去玩。)”可知，此空处表述的内容应是他们能够计划好当前和以后的事情，F选项“They’re able to think in advance about what they need to accomplish now or later.(他们能够提前考虑他们现在或以后需要完成什么。)”中的代词they与空后内容指代一致，且“now or later”与空后的内容语境吻合。故选F项。 【39题详解】 分析篇章结构可知，此处应为本段的小标题，结合前面的两个小标题为祈使句可知，此空处应为祈使句，所以A选项和B选项符合条件，根据该段中的“If you fail to hit your goals, adjust your goals to make up for your past mistakes. Take a step back and assess (评估) what you are doing and change it. (如果你没有达到你的目标，调整你的目标来弥补你过去的错误。退后一步，评估你正在做的事情并改变它。)”可知，该段主要讲述的是诚实地评估自己，B选项“Assess yourself honestly”内容与主题吻合。故选B项。 【40题详解】 根据空前的“It’s okay not to reach goals, as long as you can acknowledge it honestly and make positive changes towards meeting your goals.(没有达到目标没关系，只要你能诚实地承认它，并为实现你的目标做出积极的改变。)”可知，只要承认自己没有实现目标，并积极做出调整去实现你的目标就可以，G选项“This step is especially hard because you want to feel good about yourself and achieve your goals.(这一步特别困难，因为您想自我感觉良好并实现目标。)”中的this step指代的是空前的做法。符合语境。故选G项。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节 满分30分) 第一节 完形填空(共15小题，每题1分， 满分15分) Amy is an owner of a small business with a very beautiful mission.

Emily, a shy and thoughtful eight-year-old girl, was walking with her mother through the crowded mall. They were on their way to buy a Christmas gift for Emily's grandfather, who lived alone in a small town a few hours away. Emily's family wasn't very wealthy, but they always managed to find a way to make the holidays special. This year, Emily had saved up her money for months to buy her grandfather a present. As they walked through the mall, Emily's eyes were drawn to a shiny toy train set in the window of a toy store. She had always wanted one, but she knew that buying it for herself would be selfish. Suddenly, Emily stopped in front of a small jewelry shop. In the display case, she noticed a beautiful silver pocket watch, engraved with delicate flowers. "Mom, look at that watch! Grandpa would love it, "Emily said excitedly. Her mother smiled and nodded, knowing that the watch was a bit more expensive than they had planned, but seeing the sparkle in Emily's eyes, she decided to make it happen. After buying the watch, Emily and her mother continued their shopping, feeling happy and content. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 As they were about to leave the mall, Emily noticed a homeless man sitting by the entrance, shivering (v.颤抖) in the cold. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ That evening, as Emily and her mother drove home, Emily thought about the true meaning of Christmas. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 As they were about to leave the mall, Emily noticed a homeless man sitting by the entrance, shivering in the cold. He looked tired and lonely, and Emily’s heart went out to him. Feeling a strong urge to help, Emily turned to her mother and said, “Mom, I have some extra money left. Can I buy this man a hot meal?” Her mother was touched by Emily’s kindness and agreed. They went to a nearby café and bought a warm meal and a cup of hot coffee for the man. As Emily handed him the food, the man looked up with tears in his eyes and said, “Thank you, little girl. This means the world to me.” Emily smiled back, feeling a warmth in her heart that she had never experienced before. That evening, as Emily and her mother drove home, Emily thought about the true meaning of Christmas. She realized that sometimes, the greatest gift we can give is not a material object, but a simple act of kindness that can touch someone's life deeply. The next day, Emily wrapped the pocket watch carefully and added a handwritten note, expressing her love and wishes for a happy holiday. When she visited her grandfather and gave him the gift, he was overjoyed. But Emily knew that the real gift was the joy she had felt in helping the homeless man, and that would be a memory she would cherish forever. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Emily在圣诞节前夕与母亲一起为祖父购买礼物时，注意到一位无家可归的人，并决定用自己的零花钱为他买一顿热饭的故事。通过这个经历，Emily不仅给予他人帮助，也领悟到了圣诞节的真正意义。 【详解】段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“当她们准备离开商场时，Emily注意到入口处坐着一个无家可归的人，在寒冷中颤抖。”可知，第一段可以描写Emily看到这一幕后的反应以及她如何决定去帮助这位无家可归者。 ②由第二段首句内容“那天晚上，当Emily和她的母亲开车回家时，Emily思考着圣诞节的真正意义。”可知，第二段可以描写Emily对于这次经历的感悟以及她对圣诞节有了新的理解。 续写线索：发现无家可归者——同情心起——提议帮助——买餐食——赠送餐食——感受到内心的温暖——反思圣诞节的意义——给祖父送礼——真正的礼物是善良的行为 词汇激活 行为类 行为类 ①注意到：notice /spot ②帮助：help / assist ③购买：buy / purchase 情绪类 ①感动：touched / moved ②快乐：happy / joyful 【点睛】[高分句型1].
