At the age of 11, I moved to another club to accept advanced training. I had a new coach Mike, who was once an Olympic winner! He wanted me to receive training every day after school for an hour.

The program includes chemistry, physics, biology and engineering.(iKids Inc.是一个关于科学和创造力的新项目。课程包括化学、物理、生物和工程学)”可知，iKids Inc适合对科学感兴趣的孩子。故选A。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四个项目中“Young Audiences is open to apply at 4 pm～6 pm every Monday.(每周一下午4点~6点接受青年观众申请)”可知，加入Young Audiences需要在特定的时间点申请。故选B。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一项目中“The teachers are highly trained and are skilled at impressing kids with one-to-one meetings.(这些老师都受过高度训练，擅长在一对一的会议上给孩子留下深刻印象)”；第二个项目中“It has a team of experienced coaches who are willing to develop each child’s ability.(它拥有一支经验丰富的教练团队，愿意培养每个孩子的能力)”；第三个项目中“With qualified educators and more than one location throughout Houston, it is accessible to families across the city.(在休斯敦，有合格的教育工作者和不止一个的地点，整个城市的家庭都可以到达)”及第四个项目中“Children can learn from professional artists and experience a lot of artistic styles and cultural expressions.(孩子们可以从专业艺术家那里学习，体验很多艺术风格和文化表达)”可知，四个项目都有专业的老师。故选C。 B I used to hate old books. When I say “old books”, I don’t mean classics, though. I mean books with yellow pages, broken spines (书脊) and odd wood- like smells that you need to be careful not to break because they are already so worn down and bring you severe discomfort. One can assume that I didn’t own many old books. I had merely a few here and there that my parents had gifted me, but nothing too special. In the fourth grade, I was ready to explore a new world of reading, one that went beyond the likes of children’s chapter books and teenagers’ topics. Just then, I found my parents old copies of the entire Harry Potter book series. Visually, my parents books were my worst nightmare. I remember thinking to myself that there was no way I would be able to read these books. However, I eventually had to come to terms with the fact that if I wanted to read the series, I would have to read my parents’ copies. And so began the terrible journey of reading seven old books. When it was time for me to read the final copy, I was kind of a changed woman. I still strongly disliked old books, but the plot of the entire Harry Potter series had attracted me so much I had almost entirely forgotten what the books looked like. By the end, I had devoted an entire shelf in my room to the Harry Potter books. Now, I love old books. While the covers are sometimes so worn down that you can barely read the title of the book, you can understand what it’s about anyway. After all, an old book is a representation of generations of readers who have chosen to live in a specific fictional world because the story it contains is just that good. Old books have meaning and I love how much they mean to me now. 24. What can we learn about the author from the first two paragraphs? A. She felt uneasy about owning old books. B. She had a poor relationship with her parents. C. She grew fondness for reading classics. D. She was often gifted old books by her parents. 25. How did the author feel when seeing her parents’ Harry Potter series in the fourth grade? A. Confused. B. Satisfied. C. Discouraged. D. Astonished. 26. What does the author mean by saying “I was kind of a changed woman” in Paragraph 3? A. She started to enjoy reading fictional books. B. She began to ignore the appearance of the books. C. She accepted putting old books on her shelf. D. She figured out what she truly wanted to read. 27. What is the best title of the text? A My Passion for Reading B. My Connection With Parents via Old Books C. My Encounter With the Harry Potter Series D. My Journey With Old Books 【答案】24. A 25. C 26. B 27. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者对旧书的态度从讨厌到喜欢的转变过程。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“I used to hate old books. When I say “old books”, I don’t mean classics, though. I mean books with yellow pages, broken spines (书脊) and odd wood- like smells that you need to be careful not to break because they are already so worn down and bring you severe discomfort.(我过去讨厌旧书。不过，我说的“旧书”并不是指经典作品。我指的是那些有黄页、断了书脊和奇怪木头气味的书，你需要小心不要把它们弄破，因为它们已经磨损得很厉害了，会给你带来严重的不适)”可知，对作者来说，拥有旧书是一件令人不舒服，不自在的事。故选 A项。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“In the fourth grade, I was ready to explore a new world of reading, one that went beyond the likes of children’s chapter books and teenagers’ topics. Just then, I found my parents old copies of the entire Harry Potter book series. Visually, my parents books were my worst nightmare. I remember thinking to myself that there was no way I would be able to read these books. However, I eventually had to come to terms with the fact that if I wanted to read the series, I would have to read my parents’ copies. And so began the terrible journey of reading seven old books.(在四年级的时候，我已经准备好去探索一个新的阅读世界，一个超越儿童章节书和青少年主题的世界。就在那时，我找到了我父母的整个哈利波特系列的旧拷贝。从视觉上看，我父母的书是我最大的噩梦。我记得我当时对自己说，我是不可能读懂这些书的。然而，我最终不得不接受这样一个事实：如果我想读这个系列，我就必须读我父母的书。于是，我开始了阅读七本旧书的可怕旅程)”可知，这套书的破旧程度让作者觉得无法阅读。由此可推知，作者在看到这套书的破旧样子后感到很沮丧。故选C项。 【26题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“I still strongly disliked old books, but the plot of the entire Harry Potter series had attracted me so much I had almost entirely forgotten what the books looked like. By the end, I had devoted an entire shelf in my room to the Harry Potter books.(我仍然非常不喜欢旧书，但是整个哈利波特系列的情节吸引了我，我几乎完全忘记了这些书的样子。到最后，我已经在我的房间里用了整整一个书架来放哈利波特的书)”可知，是对“I was kind of a changed woman”的解释：作者之所以说自己有点变了是因为她开始更多地关注书的内容而忽略书的品相了。故选B项。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“I used to hate old books.(我过去讨厌旧书)”以及最后一段“Now, I love old books. While the covers are sometimes so worn down that you can barely read the title of the book, you can understand what it’s about anyway. After all, an old book is a representation of generations of readers who have chosen to live in a specific fictional world because the story it contains is just that good. Old books have meaning and I love how much they mean to me now.(现在，我喜欢旧书。虽然书的封面有时磨损得很厉害，以至于你几乎看不清书名，但你还是能理解书的内容。毕竟，一本旧书是几代读者的代表，他们选择生活在一个特定的虚构世界里，因为它包含的故事就是那么好。旧书是有意义的，我喜欢它们现在对我的意义)”以及纵观全文可知，本文主要讲述作者对旧书的感情变化。她一开始讨厌旧书，但是在看了父母给她的《哈利·波特》系列的旧书后，就开始更多地关注书的内容而不是书的品相，这次经历改变了她对旧书的感情。D项“My Journey With Old Books(我的旧书之旅)”是本文最好的标题。故选D项。 C Beach volleyball (沙滩排球) is one of those sports that can be an exciting game to play and watch. It’s really easy, and all you need is sand, a net and a group of people, of any age or fitness level, who want to have fun. Beach volleyball can be played with as few as two people in each team, making a total of four people. However, if you are less skilled and experienced in the game, it will be easier to play with a larger team. The more players you have, the less ground each person will be responsible for covering and the more time they will have to recover between shots. If you only have a few players, each of you will get a lot of running for the ball after each volley (截球). If you are looking for a relaxing, fun, low-key experience, choose larger teams. Beach volleyball is similar to regular volleyball in its rules. However, even experienced volleyball players do not realize how much more difficult it is to run and jump on sand. Since it is harder to move quickly on sand than a hard surface, play will be much slower than regular volleyball on a court. When an athlete trains for beach volleyball, he will focus on building lower body strength as well as upper body strength. Strengthening his legs is extremely important. This improves the player’s ability to move quickly and accurately on sand despite the resistance. The ability to jump high and land without injury is necessary for beach volleyball players. Whether you are in it for the competition, or just to have a great time with your friends, beach volleyball can be extremely exciting and fun. You may start out with friends and may soon fall in love with the sport. 28. When you join a large beach volleyball team, you’ll _______. A. have as many shots as possible B. improve your volleyball skills C. be responsible for more ground D. feel light-hearted while playing 29 What can be inferred from Paragraph 3? A. Experienced volleyball players know clearly it is hard to run and jump on sand. B. Lower body strength is more important than upper body strength. C. A person must have strong legs if he wants to run and jump quickly on sand. D. The rules of beach volleyball are the same as those of regular volleyball. 30. Why is playing beach volleyball much slower than playing regular volleyball? A. Because it is not easy to move on sand. B. Because beach volleyball has a larger court. C. Because the teams of beach volleyball are larger. D. Because it is a workout running for the ball. 31. What does the author think of beach volleyball? A. It’s a difficult sport. B. It’s an exciting and interesting sport. C. It’s a sport which only a few people love. D. It’s a sport which needs few skills. 【答案】28. D 29. C 30. A 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了沙滩排球这项运动。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“If you are looking for a relaxing, fun, low-key experience, choose larger teams.(如果你正在寻找一种轻松、有趣、低调的体验，那就选择大一点的团队)”可知，当你加入一个大型的沙滩排球队时，你会玩的时候感觉轻松愉快。故选D。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“When an athlete trains for beach volleyball, he will focus on building lower body strength as well as upper body strength. Strengthening his legs is extremely important. This improves the player’s ability to move quickly and accurately on sand despite the resistance.(当运动员进行沙滩排球训练时，他将重点放在增强下肢力量和上肢力量上。增强腿部力量非常重要。这提高了球员在沙滩上快速、准确移动的能力，尽管有阻力)”可推知，如果一个人想在沙滩上快速跑跳，他必须有强壮的双腿。故选C。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Since it is harder to move quickly on sand than a hard surface, play will be much slower than regular volleyball on a court.(由于在沙滩上比在坚硬的表面上更难快速移动，所以比赛会比在球场上的普通排球慢得多)”可知，沙滩排球比普通排球慢得多是因为在沙滩上移动不容易。故选A。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Beach volleyball (沙滩排球) is one of those sports that can be an exciting game to play and watch.(沙滩排球是那种玩起来和看起来都很令人兴奋的运动之一)”和最后一段中“Whether you are in it for the competition, or just to have a great time with your friends, beach volleyball can be extremely exciting and fun.(无论你是为了比赛，还是只是为了和朋友们玩得开心，沙滩排球都非常令人兴奋和有趣)”可推知，作者认为沙滩排球是一项令人兴奋和有趣的运动。故选B。 D It’s common to hear that being “emotional” is opposite from being “rational (理性的)”. For many people, there is no place for emotion in rational thinking. However, some recent work from our lab suggests something opposite. We found that individuals who score higher on tests of intelligence and rationality don’t ignore (忽略) emotions. Instead, they pay more attention to emotions and are better at recognizing and understanding emotions. This is because most intelligent decision-making requires emotional information. Emotions tell us what we want, and we can’t make smart decisions without first knowing what our goals are. For example, as a mother, if I want to make my children happy, and I know they like video games, it would make sense for me to buy them a video game. But, if I instead want them to stay focused on homework, then it wouldn’t make sense for me to buy them the video game. You can see from this example that a rational decision can’t be made unless I know various pieces of emotional information. Anticipating others’ emotions may help us be more effective leaders — allowing us to predict the way people will respond to what we say or do. Anticipating our own emotions can also make for much more effective long-term decisions. For example, if I predict I will feel anxious before giving a public speech, I might be inspired to practice a few more times. If I instead simply ignored my anxiety, chances are that I’d be more disturbed on stage, and my speech wouldn’t go smoothly. Of course, it’s important to find out situations where emotional influences may not be helpful as well. Here, individuals who score higher on rationality tests may be better at reflecting on whether an emotion will be helpful or not in a given situation. They can then make their decision after giving it deeper consideration. For example, expressing too much anger or sadness to your boss when you don’t get an promotion (晋升) may not be in your best interest. In general, if we want to be rational and make the best decisions, we should desire as much information as we can get and information about emotions can often be especially useful. 32. What is a widespread opinion about emotions and rationality? A. Rationality can develop emotional intelligence. B. Emotions help to make rational decisions. C. They play opposite roles in thinking processes. D. Rationality is more important than emotions in decision-making. 33. Why does the author mention the example in Paragraph 3? A. To show the process of decision-making. B. To tell us the harm of ignoring emotions. C. To draw the line between rationality and emotions. D. To show the importance of emotional information. 34. What should be done to make the best of emotions according to Paragraph 5? A. Recognizing their usefulness. B. Reflecting on the possible effect. C. Completing the rationality tests. D. Thinking about various situations. 35. What does the author suggest for making wise decisions? A. gaining enough information. B. Putting rationality at the first place. C. Trusting direct feelings. D. Seeking expert advice. 【答案】32. C 33. D 34. B 35. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了情绪和理性在决策过程中的作用。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“It’s common to hear that being ‘emotional’ is opposite from being ‘rational (理性的)’.(人们常听说“情绪化”与“理性”是相对立的。)”可知，关于情绪和理性，一个普遍的观点是它们在思维过程中扮演相反的角色。故选C。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“For example, as a mother, if I want to make my children happy, and I know they like video games, it would make sense for me to buy them a video game.(例如，作为一个母亲，如果我想让我的孩子们开心，而且我知道他们喜欢电子游戏，那么我给他们买一款电子游戏是有道理的。)”和“You can see from this example that a rational decision can’t be made unless I know various pieces of emotional information.(从这个例子中你可以看出，除非我知道各种情绪信息，否则无法做出理性的决定。)”可知，作者提到这个例子是为了展示情绪信息在做出理性决策中的重要性。故选D。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“Here, individuals who score higher on rationality tests may be better at reflecting on whether an emotion will be helpful or not in a given situation.(在这里，那些在理性测试中得分较高的人可能更善于思考在某种情况下，某种情绪是否有帮助。)”可知，为了充分利用情绪，应该思考可能的影响。故选B。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“In general, if we want to be rational and make the best decisions, we should desire as much information as we can get and information about emotions can often be especially useful.(总的来说，如果我们想要理性并做出最好的决定，我们应该渴望获得尽可能多的信息，而关于情绪的信息往往特别有用。)”可知，作者建议为了做出明智的决定，应该获取足够的信息。故选A。 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。 As you get older you’ll meet a wider range of people from diverse cultures. ____36____.

They were excited about the adventure and packed their tents, sleeping bags, clothes, drinks and some food. Dave was an experienced camper, always well-prepared for any situation that might arise during his outdoor adventures. So he put a torch, a whistle and a compass in his bag. They began their great adventure early in the morning. After a long walk, they arrived at the campsite which was at the foot of a beautiful mountain. The sky was clear, and the river beside their campsite flowed gently. They set up their tents and spent the afternoon exploring the area around the mountain. As the evening approached, the sky started to cloud over. Suddenly, it began to rain heavily. The rain hit the tents with a loud noise, and the river began to rise rapidly. Dave and Ben were a bit worried but thought it would pass soon. However, the situation got worse. The heavy rain continued, and the river flooded. Their campsite was quickly flooded by the river, and in the chaos, both of them quickly grabbed their bags and rushed out of the tents. Then they got separated and lost their way. Ben was in a panic. He had tried to follow the direction of the river, thinking it might lead him to a familiar area. But the flood had changed the landscape, and he completely lost his way. He kept calling out for Dave, fear and desperation flooding over him. Meanwhile, Dave was scared but tried to stay calm. He looked around for any signs of Ben or a way out. The surrounding area was now a muddy mess, and the water was still rising. He shouted for Ben but there was no reply. He decided to move higher up the mountain, hoping to find a safer place and maybe a better view to look for Ben. As Dave climbed higher, he finally found a small cave that was relatively dry. He sat down on the ground to catch his breath, thinking about what to do next. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ At that moment, Dave heard some footsteps in the distance. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 He sat down on the ground to catch his breath, thinking about what to do next. An air of sadness settling over Dave, he gradually awakened to the fact that he had to surveyed the surroundings on his own. Having recalled the items prepared in his bag, Dave took them out, intending to search for any trace of rescue or human presence. With his heart pounding fiercely in the chest, Dave plucked up his courage, examining the cave carefully with torchlight and blowing the whistle intermittently to signal for others’ attention. At that moment, Dave heard some footsteps in the distance. No sooner had Dave heard the footsteps than he dashed towards the exit of the cave. Much to his relief, it turns out to be Ben who had followed the sound of the whistle. With the compass in his hand, bravery regained, the experienced camper Dave guided Ben through the mountain, managing to find the way back. After a few hours of walking, they spotted the dim figures of several rescuers. Totally worn-out but thrilled, they explain what had happened to the rescuers and headed back with them. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了戴夫和本在山脚下野营时遭遇洪水，被迫分开。本迷失方向，戴夫爬上山顶寻找安全地点，最终在一个小洞穴中相遇。他们在戴夫的带领下成功找到出路，并在救援人员的带领下回到了营地。这次经历让他们更加珍惜生命，明白野外生存的重要性。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“他坐在地上喘口气，想着下一步该怎么办。”可知，第一段可描写戴夫拿出包里的工具开始实施寻找出路计划。 ②由第二段首句内容“就在这时，戴夫听到远处有脚步声。”可知，第二段可描写本找到了戴夫以及他们最后设法找到了回去的路。 2.续写线索：想着下一步该怎么办——拿出包里的工具——开始实施寻找计划——听到远处有脚步声——设法找到了回去的路——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①打算做某事：intend to do/plan to do ②发现：spot/ discover ③检查：examine/ check 情绪类 ①兴奋的：thrill /excite ②筋疲力尽的：worn-out / exhausted 【点睛】[高分句型1]Having recalled the items prepared in his bag, Dave took them out, intending to search for any trace of rescue or human presence.（运用了非谓语动词中的现在分词作状语。） [高分句型2]Much to his relief, it turns out to be Ben who had followed the sound of the whistle.（运用了who引导的定语从句。） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$这是2024至2025学年第一学期高一年级期中学业诊断英语听力部分，该部分分为第一第二两节。请看听力部分，第一节听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍，答案写在答题卡上。例如现在你有5秒钟的时间看试卷上的例题。你将听到以下内容。excuse me, can you tell me how much the shirt is?

B I used to hate old books. When I say “old books”, I don’t mean classics, though. I mean books with yellow pages, broken spines (书脊) and odd wood- like smells that you need to be careful not to break because they are already so worn down and bring you severe discomfort. One can assume that I didn’t own many old books. I had merely a few here and there that my parents had gifted me, but nothing too special. In the fourth grade, I was ready to explore a new world of reading, one that went beyond the likes of children’s chapter books and teenagers’ topics. Just then, I found my parents old copies of the entire Harry Potter book series. Visually, my parents books were my worst nightmare. I remember thinking to myself that there was no way I would be able to read these books. However, I eventually had to come to terms with the fact that if I wanted to read the series, I would have to read my parents’ copies. And so began the terrible journey of reading seven old books. When it was time for me to read the final copy, I was kind of a changed woman. I still strongly disliked old books, but the plot of the entire Harry Potter series had attracted me so much I had almost entirely forgotten what the books looked like. By the end, I had devoted an entire shelf in my room to the Harry Potter books. Now, I love old books. While the covers are sometimes so worn down that you can barely read the title of the book, you can understand what it’s about anyway. After all, an old book is a representation of generations of readers who have chosen to live in a specific fictional world because the story it contains is just that good. Old books have meaning and I love how much they mean to me now. 24. What can we learn about the author from the first two paragraphs? A. She felt uneasy about owning old books. B. She had a poor relationship with her parents. C. She grew fondness for reading classics. D. She was often gifted old books by her parents. 25. How did the author feel when seeing her parents’ Harry Potter series in the fourth grade? A. Confused. B. Satisfied. C. Discouraged. D. Astonished. 26. What does the author mean by saying “I was kind of a changed woman” in Paragraph 3? A. She started to enjoy reading fictional books. B. She began to ignore the appearance of the books. C. She accepted putting old books on her shelf. D. She figured out what she truly wanted to read. 27. What is the best title of the text? A. My Passion for Reading B. My Connection With Parents via Old Books C. My Encounter With the Harry Potter Series D. My Journey With Old Books C Beach volleyball (沙滩排球) is one of those sports that can be an exciting game to play and watch. It’s really easy, and all you need is sand, a net and a group of people, of any age or fitness level, who want to have fun. Beach volleyball can be played with as few as two people in each team, making a total of four people. However, if you are less skilled and experienced in the game, it will be easier to play with a larger team. The more players you have, the less ground each person will be responsible for covering and the more time they will have to recover between shots. If you only have a few players, each of you will get a lot of running for the ball after each volley (截球). If you are looking for a relaxing, fun, low-key experience, choose larger teams. Beach volleyball is similar to regular volleyball in its rules. However, even experienced volleyball players do not realize how much more difficult it is to run and jump on sand. Since it is harder to move quickly on sand than a hard surface, play will be much slower than regular volleyball on a court. When an athlete trains for beach volleyball, he will focus on building lower body strength as well as upper body strength. Strengthening his legs is extremely important. This improves the player’s ability to move quickly and accurately on sand despite the resistance. The ability to jump high and land without injury is necessary for beach volleyball players. Whether you are in it for the competition or just to have a great time with your friends, beach volleyball can be extremely exciting and fun. You may start out with friends and may soon fall in love with the sport. 28. When you join a large beach volleyball team, you’ll _______. A. have as many shots as possible B. improve your volleyball skills C. be responsible for more ground D. feel light-hearted while playing 29. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3? A. Experienced volleyball players know clearly it is hard to run and jump on sand. B. Lower body strength is more important than upper body strength. C. A person must have strong legs if he wants to run and jump quickly on sand. D. The rules of beach volleyball are the same as those of regular volleyball. 30. Why is playing beach volleyball much slower than playing regular volleyball? A. Because it is not easy to move on sand. B. Because beach volleyball has a larger court. C. Because the teams of beach volleyball are larger. D. Because it is a workout running for the ball. 31 What does the author think of beach volleyball? A. It’s a difficult sport. B. It’s an exciting and interesting sport. C. It’s a sport which only a few people love. D. It’s a sport which needs few skills. D It’s common to hear that being “emotional” is opposite from being “rational (理性的)”. For many people, there is no place for emotion in rational thinking. However, some recent work from our lab suggests something opposite. We found that individuals who score higher on tests of intelligence and rationality don’t ignore (忽略) emotions. Instead, they pay more attention to emotions and are better at recognizing and understanding emotions. This is because most intelligent decision-making requires emotional information. Emotions tell us what we want, and we can’t make smart decisions without first knowing what our goals are. For example, as a mother, if I want to make my children happy, and I know they like video games, it would make sense for me to buy them a video game. But, if I instead want them to stay focused on homework, then it wouldn’t make sense for me to buy them the video game. You can see from this example that a rational decision can’t be made unless I know various pieces of emotional information. Anticipating others’ emotions may help us be more effective leaders — allowing us to predict the way people will respond to what we say or do. Anticipating our own emotions can also make for much more effective long-term decisions. For example, if I predict I will feel anxious before giving a public speech, I might be inspired to practice a few more times. If I instead simply ignored my anxiety, chances are that I’d be more disturbed on stage, and my speech wouldn’t go smoothly. Of course, it’s important to find out situations where emotional influences may not be helpful as well. Here, individuals who score higher on rationality tests may be better at reflecting on whether an emotion will be helpful or not in a given situation. They can then make their decision after giving it deeper consideration. For example, expressing too much anger or sadness to your boss when you don’t get an promotion (晋升) may not be in your best interest. In general, if we want to be rational and make the best decisions, we should desire as much information as we can get and information about emotions can often be especially useful. 32. What is a widespread opinion about emotions and rationality? A. Rationality can develop emotional intelligence. B. Emotions help to make rational decisions. C. They play opposite roles in thinking processes. D. Rationality is more important than emotions in decision-making. 33. Why does the author mention the example in Paragraph 3? A. To show the process of decision-making. B. To tell us the harm of ignoring emotions. C. To draw the line between rationality and emotions. D. To show the importance of emotional information. 34. What should be done to make the best of emotions according to Paragraph 5? A. Recognizing their usefulness. B. Reflecting on the possible effect. C. Completing the rationality tests. D. Thinking about various situations. 35 What does the author suggest for making wise decisions? A. gaining enough information. B. Putting rationality at the first place. C. Trusting direct feelings. D. Seeking expert advice. 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。 As you get older, you’ll meet a wider range of people from diverse cultures. ____36____.

They were excited about the adventure and packed their tents, sleeping bags, clothes, drinks and some food. Dave was an experienced camper, always well-prepared for any situation that might arise during his outdoor adventures. So he put a torch, a whistle and a compass in his bag. They began their great adventure early in the morning. After a long walk, they arrived at the campsite which was at the foot of a beautiful mountain. The sky was clear, and the river beside their campsite flowed gently. They set up their tents and spent the afternoon exploring the area around the mountain. As the evening approached, the sky started to cloud over. Suddenly, it began to rain heavily. The rain hit the tents with a loud noise, and the river began to rise rapidly. Dave and Ben were a bit worried but thought it would pass soon. However, the situation got worse. The heavy rain continued, and the river flooded. Their campsite was quickly flooded by the river, and in the chaos, both of them quickly grabbed their bags and rushed out of the tents. Then they got separated and lost their way. Ben was in a panic. He had tried to follow the direction of the river, thinking it might lead him to a familiar area. But the flood had changed the landscape, and he completely lost his way. He kept calling out for Dave, fear and desperation flooding over him. Meanwhile, Dave was scared but tried to stay calm. He looked around for any signs of Ben or a way out. The surrounding area was now a muddy mess, and the water was still rising. He shouted for Ben but there was no reply. He decided to move higher up the mountain, hoping to find a safer place and maybe a better view to look for Ben. As Dave climbed higher, he finally found a small cave that was relatively dry. He sat down on the ground to catch his breath, thinking about what to do next. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ At that moment, Dave heard some footsteps in the distance. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
