Another area of confusion involved the French language.In French，there are two ways to say “you”：“tu” is the informal form while “vous” is the formal form.This is an aspect of French which，even now，I do not really understand.When I learnt French，I was taught to call everyone vous unless they were my family or friends.So I was surprised that virtually everyone in France used the informal tu all the time.School children used tu when they stayed with their teachers and all the staff called the head teacher tu.But I continued to use vous because I didn't want people to think I was impolite. As you might know，school children in the UK traditionally wear school uniforms but in France pupils do not wear a uniform.It was a culture shock for me to see children wear Spiderman T­shirts and baggy (宽松的) blue jeans in the classroom. I found the differences puzzling at times，but I couldn't deny what a great opportunity it was to live and work in another culture.The UK and France are only separated by a small channel of the sea，but there are many differences between the two countries. [语篇解读]本文是一篇记叙文。作者在法国经历了不同的文化，其中有好多事使作者感到非常困惑，包括职场交际、语言特色和学生着装等。尽管如此，作者仍然为体验到不同的文化而感到庆幸。 4．In the staff room，the school secretary ． A．always chatted online B．interrupted the writer C．talked to herself often D．always made speeches C　[细节理解题。根据第一段的“However，I soon realized that in fact，she was talking to herself.”可知，这位秘书经常自言自语。] 5．Why did the author always use “vous” when talking to others? A．She tried to be polite to others. B．She couldn't tell tu from vous at all. C．She didn't have close friends in France. D．She couldn't understand French very well. A　[细节理解题。根据第二段的最后一句“But I continued to use vous because I didn't want people to think I was impolite.”可知，作者想尽量做到礼貌待人。] 6．How did the author feel seeing French kids wear Spiderman T­shirts at school? A．Pleased. B．Embarrassed. C．Frightened. D．Surprised. D　[推理判断题。根据第三段的最后一句“It was a culture shock for me to see children wear Spiderman T­shirts and baggy (宽松的) blue jeans in the classroom.”可知，作者在法国看到学生穿着蜘蛛侠的T恤感到很吃惊。] 7．What made the author feel happy to live in France?

Once Upon a Prime: The Wondrous Connections between Mathematics and Literature, a book published recently by UK mathematician Sarah Hart, presents some interesting thoughts about “three”．She argues that the number has a special hold on Western literature and languages in general. Many common phrases are in three words, such as “ready, set, go”．Being the first things kids may learn, some nursery rhymes have a word repeated three times, such as “row, row, row your boat”．In stories, there are usually three main characters, such as Harry, Ron and Hermione in the Harry Potter series.For a series of novels, there are usually three books rather than four, according to Hart. Three is the minimum number of points that can define a two­dimensional shape.Three sticks can create a triangle, a stable structure.These characteristics behind the number three give it “a sense of strength and completeness” which balances a story, according to the book. Similarly, another study connected math and storytelling by mapping out readers' “emotional experiences”．Researchers at the University of Vermont, US, analyzed more than 1，300 fiction works.As each book was divided into many 10，000­word parts, they rated how “happy” each part made readers feel.The ratings were then grouped into arcs (弧线), which showed how the readers' emotions changed while reading. The researchers summarized the arcs in six shapes, which covered almost all novels.The simplest patterns were “rise” and “fall”，showing that the plot was straightforward.Two of the most popular story shapes among readers were “rise­fall” and “fall­rise­fall”．It showed that more twists and turns in the stories are preferred by readers. So why do researchers analyze the mathematics of literature? As the study's lead author Andrew Reagan told Scientific American, turning words into data “can teach us more about stories”． [语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文，数学家将数学和文学结合起来，在文学作品中发现了数学之美。 8．What aspect of the number “three” is mainly talked about in Paragraph 3? A．Its occurrence in literature. B．Its importance in education. C．Its application in novels. D．Its interpretation in language. A　[推理判断题。根据第三段可知，本段主要从日常短语、儿歌、故事角色、小说系列这几个方面谈论了数字3出现的情况，由此可推测出，本段关注了数字3在文学作品中的出现。故选A。] 9．Why is the number “three” important in literature? A．Because it creates a strong emotional impact. B．Because it makes literary books readable. C．Because it presents a feeling of power and unity. D．Because it shows a more stable structure. C　[细节理解题。根据第四段中的“These characteristics behind the number three give it ‘a sense of strength and completeness’ which balances a story, according to the book.”可知，数字3背后的这些特征赋予了它“一种力量和完整性”，数字3带来了一种力量感和完整感。故选C。] 10．How did researchers connect math and storytelling in the study? A．Through comparing different literary types. B．Through analyzing math knowledge used in different novels. C．By counting the use of numbers in fiction works. D．By using shapes to show readers' reading experiences. D　[细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Similarly, another study connected math and storytelling by mapping out readers' ‘emotional experiences’．”和“The ratings were then grouped into arcs (弧线), which showed how the readers' emotions changed while reading.”可知，研究人员绘制读者的“情感体验弧线”，以此来显示读者在阅读时的情绪变化。故选D。] 11．According to Andrew Reagan, what's the significance of analyzing the mathematics of literature? A．It offers conclusive evidence about a story's quality. B．It provides insights into understanding literary works. C．It helps explore the role of literature in teaching math. D．It offers an outdated approach to learning mathematics. B　[推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“As the study's lead author Andrew Reagan told Scientific American, turning words into data...”可知，Reagan认为分析文学作品中的数学可以教会我们更多关于故事的知识；由此可推测出，这可以让我们对故事有更加深刻的理解。故选B。] D My mother gifted me a copy of Fredrik Backman's A Man Called Ove.It had nothing to do with the fact that I had previously read and reviewed one of Backman's other books and my mother would have thus thought that I would like this book as well.The reason why I got this book as a gift was that there was a cat on the cover of the book and she thought that the book might be a good read.I think what my mom was trying to tell me was that she thought I read too many weird (古怪的) books, so she wanted to give me something that was a little more “normal”．And what's more normal than having a cat on the cover of a book? A Man Called Ove is simply about a man called Ove.His wife has recently died and he has just lost his job.He is thinking about ending his life.However, every time he tries to die, he gets rudely interrupted (打断) by a neighbour or someone else who wants something of him.In the end, will Ove come to see that he has an extended family of neighbours who like him just as he is？Will his heart turn to gold, showing that he's not too much of an old grump (坏脾气的人) at all？Well, does a bear poop (大便) in the woods? Are there any faults with this novel？The book is essentially a little bit cartoonish.Part of the problem is that cat—it takes on half­human characteristics and behaviours in response to Ove's actions.Besides, even the plot twists at the end are a bit on the side of the “You can really guess what happens next” variety. This is a book I probably wouldn't risk reading on my own—I like weird fiction, after all, and this doesn't really qualify—but I'm so glad that I read it.This novel makes you realise that, no matter how bad life gets, there still may be some things worth living for.Thanks, Mom.It took me a while to get around to it, but I'm so glad you got me this to read. [语篇解读]本文是一篇书评。作者对A Man Called Ove一书作出了评价。 12．Why did the author's mother give him the book A Man Called Ove? A．To assist him with his future studies on Fredrik Backman. B．To convince him to take an optimistic view of life. C．To share a beloved book with him. D．To change his reading preferences. D　[细节理解题。根据第一段中的“I think what my mom was trying to tell me...that was a little more ‘normal’．”可知，作者母亲认为他读了太多古怪的书，因此希望他读一些“正常”的书籍，为此送给他这本书A Man Called Ove，希望他改变阅读奇怪书籍的偏好。] 13．Why does the author list some questions in Paragraph 2? A．To engage the readers' interest. B．To summarise the main character's struggles. C．To show the author's understanding of the theme. D．To encourage the readers' critical thinking about the plot. A　[推理判断题。根据第二段结尾的三个问题可知，作者此处罗列这些问题是为了激发读者对A Man Called Ove这本书的阅读兴趣。] 14．What does the author dislike about the book? A．Its serious and dry language. B．Its lack of realism and surprises. C．Its too many twists and main characters. D．Its tragic ending and cartoonish characters. B　[细节理解题。根据第三段中的“half­human characteristics and behaviours in response to Ove's actions”和“the ‘You can really guess what happens next’ variety”可知，作者认为本书的缺点有两个，一是猫这一角色不够真实，二是情节转折是可预料的，没有惊喜。] 15．What would the author say about the book? A．It is creative but hard to follow. B．It is educational but straightforward. C．It is not his usual choice but humorous. D．It is not his favourite but worth reading. D　[细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“This is a book I probably wouldn't...doesn't really qualify—but I'm so glad that I read it”以及“It took me...so glad you got me this to read”可知，作者最喜欢的题材是古怪小说，但他还是很庆幸自己阅读了这本书，由此可知，A Man Called Ove一书虽不是作者的最爱，但值得一读。] 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。 Research has shown that performing acts of kindness not only benefits the recipient but also causes a significant happiness boost to the giver.Yes, it's true！16. So, how can we be kind to others and unlock this happiness boost？Let's explore three simple yet impactful ways： Reach out to the lonely. 17． A simple act of kindness can make a world of difference.Reach out to a classmate who sits by themselves during lunch and invite them to join your group.A friendly gesture can create connections and friendships that brighten someone's days. 18． Giving back to the community not only benefits others but also brings a sense of purpose and satisfaction to our lives.Encourage your family and friends to join you in volunteering or organizing a fundraising event.Your time and effort can have a lasting positive impact on those in need. Practice gratitude (感恩) and appreciation. Sometimes, kindness can be as simple as expressing gratitude.19. Write a heartfelt thank­you note to a friend who has been supportive during challenging times.Showing appreciation not only makes others feel valued but also promotes a grateful mindset. 20． It's a continuous effort to uplift and support others.Together, we can unlock true happiness through the simple yet profound act of kindness. A．Volunteer for a cause. B．Organize family­friendly events in your community. C．Let's remember that kindness is not just a one­time gesture. D．By spreading kindness, we unlock a source of joy within ourselves. E．In our busy lives, it's easy to overlook those who may be feeling alone. F．Take a moment to thank your teachers for their hard work and dedication. G．Through these acts of kindness, we can create a more harmonious society. [语篇解读]本文是说明文。文章就如何给予他人善意给出几点建议。 16．D　[根据上文中的“performing acts of kindness not only benefits...boost to the giver”可知，对他人表达善意不仅有利于接受者，也能极大地提升施予者的幸福感，设空处承接上文，点明我们作为施予者能够通过传播善意解锁内心的快乐源泉，D项符合语境。D项中的“unlock a source of joy within ourselves”与上文中的“causes a significant happiness boost to the giver”相呼应，且D项中的unlock与下文中的unlock构成原词复现。] 17．E　[本段介绍了我们应帮助那些孤独的人，E项“在忙碌的生活中我们常忽视那些孤独的人”符合语境。E项中的alone与小标题中的lonely相呼应，“those who may be feeling alone”与下文中的“a classmate who sits by themselves during lunch”相呼应。] 18．A　[设空处为本段小标题。根据下文中的“Giving back to the community”和“Encourage...volunteering or organizing a fundraising event”可知，本段主要指出可以通过志愿参与或组织公益活动的方法实施善行，A项符合语境。A项中的Volunteer和下文中的volunteering构成原词复现。] 19．F　[本段介绍了我们应践行感恩的重要性。F项指出“我们可以花点时间感谢老师的辛勤工作和奉献精神”符合本段主旨，并与设空处后为朋友写感谢便条的例子构成并列。] 20．C　[根据下文中的“It's a continuous effort...”可知，设空处与给予他人善意是持续的过程有关，C项符合语境。C项中的not just a one­time gesture和下文中的a continuous effort相呼应。] 第二部分　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。 (2024·华中师大附中高二下期末)In 2012, Laura Eshelman was in the middle of a mental unsettlement.She was having 21 in finding work.“I was leaving a downtown business where I had another job application 22 ．I was feeling pretty 23 and decided to go to the Whole Foods across the street，” Eshelman recalled.

Jenny and I were co­captains of our cross­country team.We'd been training for the coming tournament (锦标赛) for weeks: stretching, running, and making the seven of us into a team.Jenny, with exceptional running talent, always had a way to get ahead of her competitors on the course.She also helped all of us run faster and cheered us on.It seemed that she was anticipating the final show. However, this week, her attitude shifted.She kept making excuses not to run with the team, from aching legs to headaches.I had to beg her, telling her repeatedly that the team couldn't do without her.It went on all day and I was worn out.What's her deal? Mom pulled into our driveway, and turned toward me, “Well, I know a little about Jenny.She and her little brother have been together in foster care (寄养家庭).So close were they that every time they moved, Jenny would say that as long as they were together, they had a family.” My heart sank as Mom continued, “Jenny's stepfather (继父) came for her brother this week, with gifts, hugs and big plans for their future.But Jenny wasn't even part of his big plans.” My chest felt tight.“Poor Jenny, not to have a family.” I was close to tears.My mother patted my knee.“That's it, honey.You got it.” And I did. I decided that I should do something.I proposed that we organize a team gathering before the tournament.Each member was to write a heartfelt message for every teammate and prepare a special gift for the one they felt most connected to.I made sure that Jenny would come.It took some persuading, though. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式作答。 As the team gathering began, there was tension in the air.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 The day of the tournament arrived.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 [参考范文] As the team gathering began, there was tension in the air. Apparently, Jenny was still upset, her head hanging low.With a heavy heart, I kicked things off, emphasizing our bond as a team.My gift for Jenny was a photo of our team, with everyone applauding her for taking first place.Gradually, our teammates showered each other with encouraging words and gifts.“To our captains, you are the rock！” Words like this eased the tension and warmed our hearts.Jenny couldn't hold back her tears any more.“Let's make it together, as a team！” she said, handing me a drawing of us together. The day of the tournament arrived. Jenny stood beside me, a look of resolve on her face.When the game began, the seven of us gave it our all, with Jenny leading the charge, inspiring us to push harder.So close were we that our hearts seemed to beat together．Not surprisingly, Jenny lifted us to the championship.As the final whistle blew, we erupted in cheers.We really made it as a team.But deep down, I knew we were more than a team—we were a family, with love and understanding, where everyone was valued!
