(2024·湖北省部分省级示范高中高二下期中)By tradition, on Lunar New Year, you're supposed to put on new clothes, from inner to outer ones. If they're the lucky red, all the better. You can never have too much luck.
But when you turn a multiple of 12, 24, 36, 48, 60 and so on—the tradition gets extended: Red underwear every day of that lunar calendar year.When I first heard about the practice a few years ago, I considered it nonsense.It also seemed ridiculous to buy so many pairs in a color vivid under light clothes. My practical immigrant Chinese parents, an engineer and a scientist, didn't pass this tradition down.Adding another superstition (迷信) also seemed like a thing I could do without.But as I approach my fourth time around the wheel for the “Year of the Loong,”—in what's known as “ben ming nian” or the threshold year—I've been reflecting upon the milestones of those past intervals: puberty at age 12, moving across the country for a job at 24 and giving birth to my twin sons at 36.
The more I've looked into the practice, the more I realize the significance of its popularity.As an Americanborn Chinese, I have always adopted and adapted what comes from my birthplace. Logically, I know it won't matter if I wear red or not, but for me, for now, this shared tradition strengthens my bond with my culture.
So often, life goes by so quickly before we could realize.Days become weeks, months, years and suddenly a dozen years go by.My newborns have grown into tweens and I've transformed from not quite middleaged to now very much so.With the turn of the Lunar New Year, I value a chance to reflect on my past struggles and how I found a way through.
It's a mindset we could all benefit from.
[语篇解读]本文是记叙文。主要介绍了作者通过自己的体会和感触介绍了穿红色在中国农历新年和本命年的意义。
4.What is the tradition on Lunar New Year?
A.Wearing lucky red clothes all year round.
B.Putting on new clothes from head to toe.
C.Never having too many lucky clothes.
D.Extending the superstition at a multiple of 12.
解析:选B。细节理解题。文章第一段讲到“By tradition, on Lunar New Year, you're supposed to put on new clothes, from inner to outer ones.”可知,农历新年的传统是从头到脚穿上新衣服。故选B。
5.Why did the author mention her parents?
A.To prove it is ridiculous to wear red clothes.
B.To honour her practical immigrant parents.
C.To blame her parents for not passing the tradition down.
D.To justify her not following the extended tradition.
解析:选D。推理判断题。文章第二段讲到“When I first heard about the practice a few years ago, I considered it nonsense.It also seemed ridiculous to buy so many pairs in a color vivid under light clothes.My practical immigrant Chinese parents, an engineer and a scientist, didn't pass this tradition down.”可知,当作者第一次听说这种传统时,认为这是无稽之谈。买这么多在浅色衣服下显得尤为鲜艳的红色衣服似乎也很可笑。她的父母没有把这一传统传下来。作者提到她的父母是为她不遵循传统辩解。故选D。
6.What finally changed the author's attitude to the practice?
A.Her approaching the age of 48.
B.Its connection with her culture.
C.Her illogical thinking patterns.
D.Its popularity among immigrants.
解析:选B。细节理解题。文章第三段讲到“As an Americanborn Chinese, I have always adopted and adapted what comes from my birthplace.Logically, I know it won't matter if I wear red or not, but for me, for now, this shared tradition strengthens my bond with my culture.”可知,从逻辑上讲,作者知道是否穿红色并不重要,但对她来说,这种共同的传统加强了她与她的文化之间的联系。作者最终改变了对习俗的态度是因为这个习俗与她的文化有关。故选B。
7.What might the author do at her fourth time around the wheel?
A.Reflect on her way through.
B.Develop a new beneficial mindset.
C.Buy underwear in the vivid red.
D.Realize time goes by quickly.
解析:选C。推理判断题。由文章最后两段可知作者对于本命年穿红色内衣的态度改变了,开始接纳这一传统。因此在她即将到达第四个本命年的时候,她可能会买红色内衣来穿。故选C。

Have you ever made your life look a little more charming than it actually is by posting truths on social media? If so, you may be damaging your mental health.
The posts we make on social media platforms allow us to look back and see what we did on a given day.But what happens when, in an effort to impress our online friends, photos and videos we post become beautified versions of the things we did?
A young girl named Sophia went out to a romantic anniversary dinner with her boyfriend, had a near relationship ending fight during dessert, then came home and posted,“Had the best time out with the love of my life!”—even with a photo of the meal.No surprise, but according to a new study, Sophia was by no means unique.Two thirds of users admit lying about their lives on social media with 20 percent of young people between the ages of 18 and 24 stating that they edit their own stories by frequently lying about relationships and promotions.
By beautifying our online stories, we are harming our memories.We start believing the stories we tell rather than remembering what really happened. Soon, the real experience is lost and all that remains is the beautified version of history.
Scientists fear that these edited stories will end up changing our memories.It's well confirmed through research that our own memories are often unreliable and can be easily controlled.Writing down one's life in the form of a journal, or even on social media can help us keep our memories undamaged, but only if we tell the truth.So recording our experiences through whatever medium, to later recall lessons we learned, is not only acceptable but desirable.In fact, looking back at our own past—however embarrassing or uncomfortable—is not just healthy but can be enjoyable.
[语篇解读]本文是科普文。文章主要说明在社交媒体上美化自己的故事会损害我们的健康,也会影响我们的记忆。
8.Why did Sophia post her story with a photo of the meal?
A.To make her post attractive.
B.To show her photography skill.
C.To convince others of her story.
D.To show how enjoyable the meal was.
解析:选C。细节理解题。根据第三段中的even with a photo of the meal和第二段中的in an effort to impress our online friends可知Sophia发帖时配上吃饭的照片目的就是要使别人相信她的故事。故选C项。
9.In what kind of tone did the writer write the text?
A.Encouraging. B.Critical.
C.Humorous. D.Enthusiastic.
解析:选B。推理判断题。从第一段中的“If so, you may be damaging your mental health.”和第四段中的“By beautifying our online stories, we are harming our memories.”以及最后一段中的“but only if we tell the truth”可知,作者对美化我们的网络故事持批判的态度,故而文章的笔调是批判性的。故选B项。
10.The last paragraph implies that many people don't realise .
A.recalling the unpleasant past can also be enjoyable
B.writing down our life on social media does no good to us
C.recording experiences through media is unacceptable
D.recording our experiences through media is beneficial
解析:选A。推理判断题。从末段最后一句话“In fact, looking back at our own past—however embarrassing or uncomfortable—is not just healthy but can be enjoyable.”尤其是这句话里的In fact可推断出应选A项。in fact在句中起强调的作用,作者强调回忆不愉快的过往也可能会令人愉悦,人们大多没有意识到这一点。故选A项。
11.What lesson can be drawn from the text?
A.Leaving others a good impression is desirable.
B.Editing our online stories weakens our memory.
C.Posting our experiences on social media is risky.
D.Beautifying our history ends up hurting ourselves.
解析:选B。细节理解题。据第四段和第五段可知,在社交媒体上美化自己的故事会影响我们的记忆,有研究证实,我们的记忆并不可信,且易于操纵。我们只有在社交平台上记录事实才能让记忆不被损坏。故选B项。
D
A study published by Girlguiding has revealed that half of girls feel restricted by gender (性别) stereotyping, with children as young as seven believing they are valued more for their appearance than for their achievements or character.It is no coincidence (巧合) that in the same week, another study has shown a quarter of girls exhibit symptoms of depression by the age of 14.
By the time humans reach adolescence (青春期), there will be distinct differences between male and female brains.Traditionally, psychologists assume this is because men and women are naturally different, which has led to a widespread cultural belief that, left to their own devices, girls would naturally fall to pink things and baking, avoiding “manly” activities such as sports and science.
What this assumption fails to take into account is the phenomenon of “neuroplasticity (神经可塑性)”,combined with gender stereotypes.Brain development is decided by what we do, and therefore if adults guide children towards certain activities based on their gender, they influence how their minds grow.
As someone who visits more than 150 schools throughout the UK every year, I've noticed that girls in a singlesex environment tend to be more confident and more likely to develop an interest in STEM subjects (science, technology, engineering and mathematics).I put this down to the fact that, in a singlesex school, there can be no such thing as “girl” and “boy” subjects.It gives us an insight into what society might be like if we levelled the playing field.
I try not to use gendered terms such as “girls”, “boys” or “ladies” when giving classes in schools.Teachers can only give young people the tools they need to challenge harmful cultural values that damage selfesteem (自尊) and mental health if there is sufficient space within the school week to encourage discussion and debate.
The mainstream media can assist in this effort.After all, while a girl growing up in 2017 may have received the message that it is possible for her to become a leader of the government, she will also have learnt that how her legs look in a pencil skirt still matters.
[语篇解读]本文是议论文。作者论述了性别刻板印象对女孩的心理健康产生的负面影响。
12.What is the hidden connection between the two studies?
A.They both focused on 14yearolds.
B.Their findings are the cause and effect of each other.
C.The findings from one study support the results of the other.
D.They used a similar methodology to research different phenomena.
解析:选C。推理判断题。由第一段内容可推知,两项关于年轻女孩精神健康问题的研究之间存在关联,第一个研究发现一半的女孩觉得自己受到性别刻板印象的限制,7岁的孩子就认为人们更看重他们的外表而不是成就或性格;第二个研究则表明四分之一的女孩在14岁之前就有了抑郁症状。由此可推知,年轻女孩的心理健康问题与人们对性别的刻板印象有关系,第二项研究的结论支撑了第一项研究。
13.What is the author's attitude towards psychologists' assumption in Paragraph 2?
A.Doubtful. B.Uncaring.
C.Favourable. D.Disapproving.
解析:选D。观点态度题。由第三段中的内容可知,作者认为上文的假设没有考虑到神经可塑性和性别刻板印象,如果成年人根据孩子的性别引导他们进行某些活动,他们的思维发展就会受到相应的影响,由此可推知,作者并不认同心理学家对男女生大脑不同的原因的假设。
14.Why are the girls in singlesex schools more confident according to the author?
A.They develop stronger interests in STEM subjects.
B.They are given girltargeted teaching approaches.
C.They stay away from traditional gender expectations.
D.They are involved in various confidenceboosting activities.
解析:选C。细节理解题。由第四段中的“I put this down to...playing field.”可知,作者认为,在单性别环境中的女孩子更自信是因为这样的学校里没有所谓的“女孩”课程和“男孩”课程,孩子们没有被贴上性别的标签,不用面对传统的性别期望。
15.What does the last paragraph imply about the mainstream media?
A.It has put much emphasis on political issues.
B.It has done well in establishing beauty standards.
C.It can prevent young girls from achieving powerful roles.
D.It holds a profound influence on girls' beliefs about gender roles.
解析:选D。推理判断题。由最后一段中的内容可知,主流媒体在塑造年轻女孩的观念方面可以发挥重要而积极的作用——通过展示女性获得领导职位的例子,激励女孩们有远大的梦想。同时,她们也会认识到,穿直筒裙时腿是不是好看仍旧重要。由此可推知,主流媒体会深刻影响女孩对性别角色的看法。

Many people think of guys as being carefree when it comes to their appearance.But in fact, a lot of guys spend plenty of time in front of the mirror.16.
Body image is a person's opinions and feelings about his or her own body and physical appearance.17. You appreciate your body for its abilities and accept its imperfections.
So, what can you do to develop a positive body image? Here are some ideas:
Recognize your strengths. Different body types are good for different things. What does your body do well? Maybe your speed, strength, or coordination(协调) makes you better than others at a certain sport. That may be basketball, table tennis, mountain biking, dancing, or even running.Or perhaps you have skills, like drawing, singing, playing a musical instrument, writing, or acting.18.
Exercise regularly.Exercise can help you look good and feel good about yourself.Good physiques (体形) don't just happen.19. You can keep healthy by simply exercising 20 minutes to one hour three times a week.Taking exercise can also lift your spirits.
Respect your body! Practising good habits—regular showering; taking care of your teeth, hair, and skin; wearing clean clothes, and so on—can help you build a positive body image.
20. Your body is just one part of who you are.Your talent for humour, a quick wit (智慧), and all the things make you special.So try not to let small imperfections affect you.
A.Use this as an opportunity to discover what you're good at.
B.Be yourself.
C.They care just as much as girls do about their body image.
D.Just explore talents that you feel good about.
E.They take hard work, regular workouts, and a healthy habit.
F.The good news is that selfimage and body image can be changed.
G.Having a positive body image means feeling satisfied with the way you look.

Dear Julie,
I'm writing to express some of my expectations about the upcoming lecture.
Firstly, I hope the lecture concerns the topic of whether high school students should pursue exterior beauty, as many of us often feel pressured to meet certain standards.Moreover, I'd love to learn about the aspects of inner beauty.Understanding qualities like kindness, compassion, and honesty can help us focus on personal growth.Lastly, I'd like to know how to discover beauty in our daily life, involving developing an awareness of the present moment and embracing gratitude for simple things.
Best regards,

第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
(2024·南京市六校联合体高二下期中)Joey sat at the kitchen table, reading the sports page of the morning paper.He heard his grandfather coming down the stairs.When his grandfather came into the kitchen, Joey could see he wasn't his usual happy self.
“Morning, Grandfather,” he said.His grandfather sat across the table and didn't pick up the paper to read.Instead, he asked, “Joey, is anything happening in town today?”
“There's a ball game between Doraville Middle School and my school tonight,” Joey told him.“It'll be a close race, but I think we'll win.Would you like to go?”
Joey felt bad for his grandfather.He knew he couldn't read.His grandfather had told him often, “I didn't have the chance to go to school regularly.Looking after the animals and tending to the crops on the farm were much more important in those days than learning to read.”
One day, Joey stopped at the library to look through some books.He saw a sign on the library wall.It read: “Do you know somebody who doesn't read? We can help.Just call this number.” Joey hurried home and showed the sign to his grandfather.“Somebody can teach you how to read.It says so right here,” Joey explained.Joey jotted the number down.
Several days later, Grandfather put on his best suit of clothes for his first day of school.He arrived at the library an hour early and met with his teacher.During that first class, he was so worried and nervous that he couldn't concentrate.He couldn't remember anything the teacher said.A few weeks later, Grandfather was studying when he looked up at Joey and said, “I'm too old to learn all of this.” He closed the book in frustration.“Oh, Grandfather, don't get discouraged,” Joey said. Grandfather was stubborn.“I can't do it,” he said.
注意: 1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
“How about letting me help you?” Joey asked.
