(从现在开始，每本书。打九折出售！)”、Snail and Worm Again by Tina Kugler, illustrated (插图) by Joe Smith部分中“Selling price: $11 (售价：11美元)”、The Friend Ship by Kat Yeh, illustrated by Chuck Groenink部分中“Selling price: $12 (售价：12美元)”、Pax and Blue by Lori Richmond, illustrated by Jake Black部分中“Selling price: $15 (售价：15美元)”、Dill & Bizzy Opposite Day by Nora Ericson, illustrated by Lisa Ericson部分中“Dill & Bizzy Opposite Day (售价：13美元)”可知，最便宜的书售价11美元，购买两本的话，折后价为11*2*90%=19.8 (美元)。故选A。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。由文章The Friend Ship by Kat Yeh, illustrated by Chuck Groenink部分中“Hedgehog (刺猬) misunderstands when she overhears that searching for Friendship might help her be less lonely. She thinks Friendship is an actual ship and starts to look for it. Along her journey, she meets people who also want a friend. They join her search. Soon, the group of new friends realizes they are sailing an actual Friend Ship. This clever play on words makes for a heartwarming story of truth—that sometimes friends are right in front of us. (刺猬在无意中听到寻找友谊可以帮助她减少孤独时，产生了误解。她认为友谊是一艘真正的船，并开始寻找它。在她的旅途中，她遇到了一些同样需要朋友的人。他们加入了她的搜寻。很快，这群新朋友意识到他们正在驾驶一艘真正的友谊之船。这个巧妙的文字游戏讲述了一个温暖人心的真实故事——有时朋友就在我们面前。)”可知，这本书揭示了一个温暖的真理——有时候朋友就在我们面前。这个故事是由Kat Yeh写的。故选D。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。由文章Dill & Bizzy Opposite Day by Nora Ericson, illustrated by Lisa Ericson部分中“I love the illustrations, and they really capture the charm of each of these two characters — a bird and a duck — who are best friends.

They listen and repeat simple words and greetings in Yaakunte (also called Yaaku), the language of their community. Though it might seem strange that even older people cannot speak the language, one of the pupils stands up and explains why he is in the class: his grandparents died before they could teach him Yaakunte, he says, and his mother, a Maasai, did not know the language. “So we got lost.” Loshiro teaches about 300 students twice a week. But the lessons are about more than just saving a language, they are about preserving the Yaakunte culture too. The Mukogodo Forest, one of the largest in East Africa, is the traditional home of the Yaaku. Originally hunter-gatherers, they looked after the 74,000-acre forest, using it for hunting, rituals (宗教仪式) and to collect plants and honey. Loshiro believes that by saving the language she is also safeguarding the knowledge the language holds about the wildlife of the forest, empowering future Yaaku to protect it. Every week, she takes her students to the forest to plant trees such as wild olive or cedar. So far they have planted 10,000 seedlings and distributed 50,000 seedballs. They then tag trees with labels that have words in Yaakunte. “As the trees grow,” she says, “the language grows.” Changes in the 20th century pushed Yaakunte to the edge of extinction. The Yaaku lived alongside the Maasai, a pastoral (田园生活) community who looked down on the hunter - gatherers for not having livestock. When Yaaku girls began marrying their neighbouring pastoralists, and parents received livestock as bride-wealth, Yaaku fathers began to demand cattle rather than just beehives as had been the Yaaku custom. The temptation (诱惑) to identify with pastoralists was stronger and the Yaaku gradually assimilated into the Maasai, and gave up their language for Maasai. Loshiro is working on other ways to preserve Yaakunte, including building a website and app to digitize the language and make learning easier. She hopes her pupils will be fluent in Yaakunte after five years of classes and — apart from language — know their culture. 4. What can be learned from the first paragraph? A. Yaaku kids are poorly educated. B. The Yaaku population is aging fast. C. Yaakunte is in danger of extinction. D. The Yaaku community remains uncontacted. 5. Why does Loshiro plant trees in the forest with her students? A. To get them close to nature. B. To give their culture a future. C. To cultivate their hands-on abilities. D. To experience their ancestors’ hardships. 6. What does the underlined words “assimilated into” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Won over. B. Turned against. C. Became part of. D. Lost control of. 7. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Growing a word forest B. Changing old customs C. Rescuing a lost community D. Preserving local landscapes 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了肯尼亚Laikipia县的一个社区中心里，Juliana Loshiro老师致力于教授Yaakunte(也称Yaaku)语言和文化，以拯救这种濒临灭绝的语言，并通过种植树木等方式来传承和保护Yaaku文化的故事。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Though it might seem strange that even older people cannot speak the language, one of the pupils stands up and explains why he is in the class: his grandparents died before they could teach him Yaakunte, he says, and his mother, a Maasai, did not know the language. “So we got lost.”(虽然老年人都不会说这种语言似乎有些奇怪，但其中一名学生站起来解释了他为什么在这门课上：他的祖父母在教他雅昆特语之前就去世了，他说，他的母亲是马赛人，不懂这种语言。“所以我们迷路了。”)”可知，Yaakunte这种语言语言正面临严重的传承问题，老年人甚至都不会说，说明这种语言正处于濒危状态。故选C。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Loshiro believes that by saving the language she is also safeguarding the knowledge the language holds about the wildlife of the forest, empowering future Yaaku to protect it.(Loshiro相信，通过拯救这种语言，她也在保护这种语言所承载的关于森林野生动物的知识，从而赋予未来的Yaaku人保护它的能力)”可知，Loshiro带领学生种树不仅是为了种树本身，更是为了通过实际行动来传承和保护Yaaku文化，特别是与森林相关的知识。由此推知，她带领学生种树是为了给他们的文化一个未来。故选B。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据上文“The temptation (诱惑) to identify with pastoralists was stronger(与牧民认同的诱惑更强烈)”和下文“gave up their language for Maasai.(放弃了他们的语言而使用Maasai语)”可知，Yaaku人逐渐融入了Maasai人，并放弃了他们的语言而使用Maasai语。由此可推知，“assimilated into”的意思是“成为……的一部分”，即Yaaku人逐渐融入了Maasai社群。因此，选项C“Became part of成为……的一部分”是正确的。故选C。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。文章主要讲述了Loshiro老师如何通过教授语言和种植树木等方式来拯救和保护Yaaku文化的故事。整个故事围绕“语言”和“文化”的拯救与传承展开。选项A“种植一个词汇的森林”既形象地表达了Loshiro老师通过种植树木来传承语言文化的行为，又隐喻了语言的“生长”和文化的“繁荣”。因此，选项A是最适合作为文章标题的。故选A。 C When it comes to leading, self-identity matters. Research has shown that seeing yourself as a leader is an important first step on the path toward becoming one — and reluctance (不情愿) to be identified as a leader can keep capable people from taking on leadership responsibilities. So, why are people so often uncomfortable with thinking of themselves as leaders? To explore this question, we conducted a series of studies with more than 1,700 participants, and we consistently found that the more people worried about the reputational risks of being a leader, the less likely they were to be identified as one. Specifically, we identified three common reputational fears: fear of seeming bossy, fear of seeming different and fear of seeming unqualified. Many participants expressed concern about being seen as autocratic (专横的), bossy or domineering if they were to take on a leadership role. As one interviewee put it, “I wouldn’t want to seem pushy, or that I take advantage of weak people. I wouldn’t want to seem cold.” Interestingly, while much has been written on the use of negative words like “bossy” to describe female leaders, we found that in our studies, men and women were both afraid of coming across in this manner. The second common concern was that acting as a leader would result in being singled out and receiving too much attention for being different from others — even if that attention was positive. One participant explained, “I don’t want to be looked up to. I am comfortable leading, but at the same time I want to be on the same level as everyone else. “Many people worry that if they become leaders, they will have to sacrifice their sense of belonging within the group. Regardless of whether they actually saw themselves as qualified, many participants said that they were afraid that others would view them as unfit for leadership. As one shared, “I know people often associate certain typical images with leadership roles, so that makes me somewhat uncomfortable. I worry that if I try to pursue leadership in my field, people will not take me seriously.” 8. What does the underlined word “domineering” mean in paragraph 2? A. Being proud of oneself. B. Not considering others’ opinions. C. Speaking ill of other employees. D. Taking advantage of weak people. 9. What can we learn from paragraph 2? A. Fear of seeming bossy only fits with female leadership. B. Both male and female worry about being seen as bossy. C. Leaders should not care about what others think of them. D. Female leaders are often described in negative-words. 10. What is people’s concern to be different? A. Getting less attention from others. B. Being talked about by others. C. Being on the same level as others. D. Lacking sense of belonging to a team. 11 What is the purpose of the text? A. To explain what reputational fears are. B. To encourage people to be leaders. C. To complain about the leaders in our life. D. To explain people’s reluctance to be leaders. 【答案】8. B 9. B 10. D 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章围绕“人们为何常常不愿将自己视为领导者”的问题展开探讨，通过一系列研究结果来分析和阐述造成这种现象的原因，包括三种常见的声誉担忧。 【8题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线单词所在句“Many participants expressed concern about being seen as autocratic(专横的), bossy or domineering if they were to take on a leadership role.(许多参与者表示，如果他们要担任领导角色，就会担心被视为独裁者、专横者或……)”中的“autocratic(专横的), bossy”可推测，划线单词应该也是负面的评价，且和这两个单词意思相似。而“autocratic(专横的), bossy”都和“以自我中心，不考虑别人”相关。选项A“Being proud of oneself (为自己感到骄傲)”；选项B“Not considering others’ opinions (不考虑别人的意见)”；选项C“Speaking ill of other employees (说其他员工的坏话)”；选项D“Taking advantage of weak people (利用弱小的人)”。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Interestingly, while much has been written on the use of negative words like “bossy” to describe female leaders, we found that in our studies, men and women were both afraid of coming across in this manner.(有趣的是，尽管有很多文章都在讨论用‘专横’等负面词汇来描述女性领导者，但我们的研究发现，男性和女性都害怕给人留下这样的印象。)”可知，男性和女性都担心被视为专横。故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The second common concern was that acting as a leader would result in being singled out and receiving too much attention for being different from others—even if that attention was positive. One participant explained, “I don’t want to be looked up to. I am comfortable leading, but at the same time I want to be on the same level as everyone else. “Many people worry that if they become leaders, they will have to sacrifice their sense of belonging within the group.(第二个常见的担忧是，作为领导者会让自己被单独挑出来，因与众不同而受到过多关注——即使这种关注是正面的。一位参与者解释道：“我不想被仰望。我喜欢领导，但同时我也想和大家处于同一水平线上。”许多人担心，如果他们成为领导者，就必须牺牲自己在群体中的归属感。)”可知，人们对与众不同的担忧是“牺牲自己在群体中的归属感”，即“缺乏团队归属感”。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“So, why are people so often uncomfortable with thinking of themselves as leaders? To explore this question, we conducted a series of studies with more than 1, 700 participants, and we consistently found that the more people worried about the reputational risks of being a leader, the less likely they were to be identified as one. Specifically, we identified three common reputational fears: fear of seeming bossy, fear of seeming different and fear of seeming unqualified.(那么，为什么人们常常不愿将自己视为领导者呢？为了探究这个问题，我们对1700多名参与者进行了一系列研究，并始终发现，人们对成为领导者可能带来的声誉风险越担忧，他们就越不可能被认定为领导者。具体而言，我们确定了三种常见的声誉担忧：担心显得专横、担心显得与众不同以及担心显得不胜任。)”以及全文内容可知，文章详细解释了人们不愿意成为领导者的三个声誉恐惧的原因，所以整篇文章都在解释人们不愿意成为领导者的原因。故选D。 D Rathee discovered YouTube in 2014, a time when cheap smartphones and cellular (蜂窝) data led to a boom in internet access in India. Inspired by videos he watched online, Rathee, now 28, started a travel vlog. But he soon noticed a problem. “People in India weren’t trained on how to use the internet and blindly trusted whatever they saw on YouTube or WhatsApp,” he says. So Rathee, who grew up in a small northern Indian town in the state of Haryana and later studied mechanical engineering in Germany, became what he calls a “YouTube educator”, making videos in Hindi that fact-check topics that are trending on Indian social media. “My aim is to present things as simply as possible and break down complex issues in simple words,” he says. Rathee’s work is incredibly popular — he’s accumulated nearly 13 million subscribers, making his YouTube channel one of the most-viewed in the country. It has also led to conflicts. When a film called The Kerala Story began making waves in May, Rathee made a 23-minute video in which he argued that the film promoted a false theory. Though Rathee used the government’s data and international sources to make his counterclaim, his fact-checking led to consequences, including threats sent to his family. Despite the risks, Rathee remains calm. He makes videos for one reason. “I hope they teach people tolerance, coexistence, and accepting each other’s opinions, values that I myself really value,” he says. “I’m surprised doing such a simple thing can bring so much attention,” he adds, “maybe because no one tries to dare to do that.” 12. What problem did Rathee notice with Indians? A. They blindly subscribed to vlogs. B. They were addicted to online videos. C. They had limited access to the Internet. D. They were easily misled by online information. 13. Why did Rathee make his video about the film? A. To attract views and attention. B. To correct government data. C. To stop the spread of a false theory. D. To support his previous argument. 14. Which word could best describe Rathee’s work? A. Confusing. B. Enlightening. C. Disappointing. D. Entertaining. 15. What does the underlined word“that” in the last paragraph refer to? A. Raising various opinions. B. Challenging the authority. C. Making fact-checking videos. D. Critisizing traditional values. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Rathee通过制作视频来教育印度人如何正确使用互联网。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“But he soon noticed a problem. “People in India weren’t trained on how to use the internet and blindly trusted whatever they saw on YouTube or WhatsApp,” he says.(但他很快发现了一个问题。他说：“印度人没有接受过如何使用互联网的培训，他们盲目地相信他们在YouTube或WhatsApp上看到的任何东西。”)”可知，Rathee注意到印度人容易被网络信息误导。故选D。  13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“When a film called The Kerala Story began making waves in May, Rathee made a 23-minute video in which he argued that the film promoted a false theory. (今年5月，当一部名为《喀拉拉邦的故事》的电影开始引起轰动时，Rathee制作了一段23分钟的视频，他在视频中辩称，这部电影宣扬了一个错误的理论)”可知，Rathee制作视频是为了阻止错误理论的传播。故选C。   【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“So Rathee, who grew up in a small northern Indian town in the state of Haryana and later studied mechanical engineering in Germany, became what he calls a “YouTube educator”, making videos in Hindi that fact-check topics that are trending on Indian social media. “My aim is to present things as simply as possible and break down complex issues in simple words,” he says.(因此，在印度北部哈里亚纳邦的一个小镇长大、后来在德国学习机械工程的拉西成为了他所谓的“YouTube教育家”，用印地语制作视频，对印度社交媒体上的热门话题进行事实核查。他说：“我的目标是尽可能简单地呈现事物，用简单的语言分解复杂的问题。”)”可知，Rathee通过制作视频教育人们，他的工作是启发性的。故选B。 【15题详解】 词句猜测题。根据最后一段“Despite the risks, Rathee remains calm. He makes videos for one reason. “I hope they teach people tolerance, coexistence, and accepting each other’s opinions, values that I myself really value,” he says. “I’m surprised doing such a simple thing can bring so much attention,” he adds, “maybe because no one tries to dare to do that .”(尽管有风险，拉西仍然保持冷静。他制作视频只有一个原因。他说：“我希望他们教会人们宽容、共存、接受彼此的意见，这些是我自己真正看重的价值观。”他补充道：“我很惊讶这么简单的事情却能引起这么多的关注，也许是因为没有人敢这么做。”)”可知，that指代的是前文所说的制作事实核查视频。故选C。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Habits to Be a Highly Effective Student Some students are able to get straight A’s and at the same time serve as the president of three clubs. However, some students struggle to keep their GPA(grade point average)above 3.0. ___16___ Although it’s true that everyone’s IQ is different, good study habits are very important. Here are several habits you should adopt to get good grades. ___17___ If you haven’t had a “planner”, get one. Many people use their computers and smart phones to make a schedule. The problem with that approach is that they are major distractions(使人分心的事物). Instead, get an old-fashioned paper and pen planner. Create a weekly schedule. ___18___ Include time that will be spent eating, sleeping and doing anything not related to schoolwork. That way you know exactly how much you can achieve each day. Take frequent, short breaks. Taking a break from studying for 15 minutes every hour will help keep you refreshed. ___19___ If you don’t take a break, you may find yourself daydreaming or even falling asleep. Take some time for some water, a snack or a quick chat with a friend. Take care of yourself. During the final exam week, it is common for students to fall behind on sleep and meals. Make sure you get a good night’s sleep and have regular meals. Studying while you are hungry or sleepy is ineffective and will slow you down in the long run. Also try to make the time for family and friends. ___20___ A. Keep things organized. B. Keep away from your computers. C. Of course, not everyone needs breaks. D. And they seem to spend all of their time in studying. E. Our brains are not meant to work for hours non-stop. F. Having a good support system will help with all the stress. G. Then in the daily schedule, make a list of things to do each hour. 【答案】16. D 17. A 18. G 19. E 20. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了学习效率高的学生所拥有的四个好的习惯。 【16题详解】 上文“However, some students struggle to keep their GPA(grade point average)above 3.0. (然而，有些学生努力保持他们的GPA(平均绩点)在3.0以上。)”指出有些学生努力保持他们的平均绩点在3.0以上，后文应该强调导致该结果的原因。D项“And they seem to spend all of their time in studying.(他们似乎把所有的时间都花在了学习上。)”指出，因为他们似乎把时间都花在学习上，所以导致他们的平均绩点在3.0以上。故选D项。 【17题详解】 下文“If you haven’t had a planner (规划薄), get one. (如果你还没有规划薄，那就找一个。)”可知，作者想要强调规划的重要性。A项“Keep things organized. (让事情井井有条。)”也是在强调规划，开启下文，故选A项。 【18题详解】 上文“Create a weekly schedule.(创建每周计划。)”是第二条建议，即就是创建一周的时间表。G项“Then under each day, make a list of things to do each hour. (然后在每一天下，列出每小时要做的事情。)”是承接上文，在周计划之下，列好一周中的每天每个小时要做的事情，也开启下文“Include time that will be spent eating, sleeping and doing anything not related to school work. (包括吃饭、睡觉和做任何与学业无关的事情的时间。)”具体细化到每个件事的时间安排。故选G项。 【19题详解】 上文“Take frequent, short breaks. (经常休息，短暂休息。)”可知，本条建议是要经常休息。再根据下文“If you don’t take a break, you may find yourself daydreaming or even falling asleep. (如果你不休息一下，你可能会发现自己在做白日梦，甚至睡着了。)”可知，大脑是需要休息的，不能无休止的工作。E项“Our brains are not meant to work for hours nonstop. (我们的大脑不应该连续工作几个小时。)”符合上下文，故选E项。 【20题详解】 上文“Also try to make time for friends and family. (也尽量为朋友和家人腾出时间。)”可知，作者建议要花时间跟家人在一起。F项“Having a good support system will help with all the stress. (拥有良好的支持系统将有助于缓解所有压力。)”正是解释了作者提出该条建议的原因，因为家人和朋友的支持能够帮助我们缓解压力，符合行文逻辑，故选F项。 第三部分 语言运用（共三节，满分40分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I felt anxious when going into my room from school.

Their friendship was like a big tree, rooted deep in the soil of their hearts, weathering every storm that came their way. As they grew older, Jack and Tom attended the same school, where they continued to grow up academically and socially. They were both extraordinary students, but it was their friendship that set them apart from others. They supported each other through thick and thin, always ready to lend a helping hand or a listening ear to each other. Sometime later, Jack’s family faced a severe financial crisis, forcing them to move away from their beloved town. The news broke Jack and Tom’s world, as they had never imagined a life without each other. However, they vowed (发誓) to remain in touch and promised to visit each other as often as they could. Over the years, Jack and Tom took different paths in life. Jack did excellent in his studies and eventually landed a very good job in a big city, while Tom pursued his passion for art and became a successful artist. Despite their busy schedules, they never forgot their promise and made sure to keep in touch through letters, phone calls, and occasional visits. One summer, Jack received terrible news—Tom had been diagnosed (诊断) with a rare cancer. Heartbroken, Jack immediately booked the first flight back to their hometown to be by his friend’s side. When he arrived, he found Tom weak and fragile (脆弱的), but his spirit remained unbroken. In the days of pain and uncertainty, Jack and Tom’s bond simply grew stronger. They spent hours recalling their childhood adventures, laughing at old jokes and sharing stories of their lives. Jack would read books to Tom, who would paint pictures inspired by their memories. Through their love and support for each other, they found strength to face the challenges that lay ahead. However, as the days turned into weeks, Tom’s condition worsened. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Learning about Tom’s terrible condition, Jack firmly quit his job in the city. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With Tom’s final wish buried in his heart, Jack returned to the city and found another job. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Learning about Tom’s terrible condition, Jack firmly quit his job in the city. He decided to look after Tom together with Tom’s families. Knowing what Jack had done, Tom was shocked, “Jack, you shouldn’t have quit your job just to attend to me.” “As your best friend, this is what I should do. I’ve made up my mind and nothing can change it!” Jack responded. Tom was moved to tears, “Thank you! But you must promise me you’ll spread our friendship to others after my death.” Jack nodded, tears streaming down his face. Several days later, Tom passed away. With Tom’s final wish buried in his heart, Jack returned to the city and found another job. He worked hard and achieved success. However, he always remembered the friendship with Tom. Whenever he had time, he visited Tom’s parents and offered them the necessary help. He kept Tom’s final wish in mind and made it his mission to spread the value of friendship to others, inspiring them to treasure their own friendships and create strong bonds. True friendship can span time and space, leaving a lasting mark on the hearts of those who have experienced it. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Jack和Tom两个男孩从童年到成年的深厚友谊，以及面对人生变故和困难时如何相互扶持、共同面对的故事，展现了友谊的力量和真谛。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“得知Tom的糟糕状况后，Jack毅然决然地辞去了城里的工作。”以及第二段首句内容“带着Tom最后的遗愿，Jack回到了城市并找到了另一份工作。”可知，第一段可描写Tom得知Jack所做的一切，非常感动。两个好朋友共同度过了Tom人生中最后的时光。但是，Tom还是去世了。 ②由第二段首句内容“带着Tom最后的遗愿，Jack回到了城市并找到了另一份工作。”可知，第二段可描写Jack又找到一份工作，生活也开始走上正轨。Jack完成了Tom的遗愿，激励人们珍惜友谊。 2.续写线索：辞去工作——Jack非常感动——一起照顾Tom——离开人世——希望友谊传递——到城市找到工作——取得成功——经常看望Tom的父母——牢记Tom的遗愿 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①决定：decide/make a decision/determine ②照顾：look after/take care of ③回复：respond/reply ④激励：inspire/encourage 情绪类 ①震惊的：shocked/surprised/stunned ②感动的：moved/touched 【点睛】【高分句型1】As your best friend, this is what I should do.（运用了what引导的表语从句） 【高分句型2】Whenever he had time, he visited Tom’s parents and offered them the necessary help.（运用了whenever引导的状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024-2025学年度上学期期末考试 高二英语试题 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三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。 1.

B In a community centre in Kenya’s Laikipia county, Juliana Loshiro stands before her pupils. They listen and repeat simple words and greetings in Yaakunte (also called Yaaku), the language of their community. Though it might seem strange that even older people cannot speak the language, one of the pupils stands up and explains why he is in the class: his grandparents died before they could teach him Yaakunte, he says, and his mother, a Maasai, did not know the language. “So we got lost.” Loshiro teaches about 300 students twice a week. But the lessons are about more than just saving a language, they are about preserving the Yaakunte culture too. The Mukogodo Forest, one of the largest in East Africa, is the traditional home of the Yaaku. Originally hunter-gatherers, they looked after the 74,000-acre forest, using it for hunting, rituals (宗教仪式) and to collect plants and honey. Loshiro believes that by saving the language she is also safeguarding the knowledge the language holds about the wildlife of the forest, empowering future Yaaku to protect it. Every week, she takes her students to the forest to plant trees such as wild olive or cedar. So far they have planted 10,000 seedlings and distributed 50,000 seedballs. They then tag trees with labels that have words in Yaakunte. “As the trees grow,” she says, “the language grows.” Changes in the 20th century pushed Yaakunte to the edge of extinction. The Yaaku lived alongside the Maasai, a pastoral (田园生活) community who looked down on the hunter - gatherers for not having livestock. When Yaaku girls began marrying their neighbouring pastoralists, and parents received livestock as bride-wealth, Yaaku fathers began to demand cattle rather than just beehives as had been the Yaaku custom. The temptation (诱惑) to identify with pastoralists was stronger and the Yaaku gradually assimilated into the Maasai, and gave up their language for Maasai. Loshiro is working on other ways to preserve Yaakunte, including building a website and app to digitize the language and make learning easier. She hopes her pupils will be fluent in Yaakunte after five years of classes and — apart from language — know their culture. 4. What can be learned from the first paragraph? A. Yaaku kids are poorly educated. B. The Yaaku population is aging fast. C. Yaakunte is in danger of extinction. D. The Yaaku community remains uncontacted. 5. Why does Loshiro plant trees in the forest with her students? A. To get them close to nature. B. To give their culture a future. C. To cultivate their hands-on abilities. D. To experience their ancestors’ hardships. 6. What does the underlined words “assimilated into” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Won over. B. Turned against. C. Became part of. D. Lost control of. 7. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Growing a word forest B. Changing old customs C. Rescuing a lost community D. Preserving local landscapes C When it comes to leading, self-identity matters. Research has shown that seeing yourself as a leader is an important first step on the path toward becoming one — and reluctance (不情愿) to be identified as a leader can keep capable people from taking on leadership responsibilities. So, why are people so often uncomfortable with thinking of themselves as leaders? To explore this question, we conducted a series of studies with more than 1,700 participants, and we consistently found that the more people worried about the reputational risks of being a leader, the less likely they were to be identified as one. Specifically, we identified three common reputational fears: fear of seeming bossy, fear of seeming different and fear of seeming unqualified. Many participants expressed concern about being seen as autocratic (专横的), bossy or domineering if they were to take on a leadership role. As one interviewee put it, “I wouldn’t want to seem pushy, or that I take advantage of weak people. I wouldn’t want to seem cold.” Interestingly, while much has been written on the use of negative words like “bossy” to describe female leaders, we found that in our studies, men and women were both afraid of coming across in this manner. The second common concern was that acting as a leader would result in being singled out and receiving too much attention for being different from others — even if that attention was positive. One participant explained, “I don’t want to be looked up to. I am comfortable leading, but at the same time I want to be on the same level as everyone else. “Many people worry that if they become leaders, they will have to sacrifice their sense of belonging within the group. Regardless of whether they actually saw themselves as qualified, many participants said that they were afraid that others would view them as unfit for leadership. As one shared, “I know people often associate certain typical images with leadership roles, so that makes me somewhat uncomfortable. I worry that if I try to pursue leadership in my field, people will not take me seriously.” 8. What does the underlined word “domineering” mean in paragraph 2? A. Being proud of oneself. B. Not considering others’ opinions. C. Speaking ill of other employees. D. Taking advantage of weak people. 9. What can we learn from paragraph 2? A. Fear of seeming bossy only fits with female leadership. B. Both male and female worry about being seen as bossy. C. Leaders should not care about what others think of them. D. Female leaders are often described in negative-words. 10. What is people’s concern to be different? A. Getting less attention from others. B. Being talked about by others. C. Being on the same level as others. D. Lacking sense of belonging to a team. 11. What is the purpose of the text? A. To explain what reputational fears are. B. To encourage people to be leaders. C. To complain about the leaders in our life. D. To explain people’s reluctance to be leaders. D Rathee discovered YouTube in 2014, a time when cheap smartphones and cellular (蜂窝) data led to a boom in internet access in India. Inspired by videos he watched online, Rathee, now 28, started a travel vlog. But he soon noticed a problem. “People in India weren’t trained on how to use the internet and blindly trusted whatever they saw on YouTube or WhatsApp,” he says. So Rathee, who grew up in a small northern Indian town in the state of Haryana and later studied mechanical engineering in Germany, became what he calls a “YouTube educator”, making videos in Hindi that fact-check topics that are trending on Indian social media. “My aim is to present things as simply as possible and break down complex issues in simple words,” he says. Rathee’s work is incredibly popular — he’s accumulated nearly 13 million subscribers, making his YouTube channel one of the most-viewed in the country. It has also led to conflicts. When a film called The Kerala Story began making waves in May, Rathee made a 23-minute video in which he argued that the film promoted a false theory. Though Rathee used the government’s data and international sources to make his counterclaim, his fact-checking led to consequences, including threats sent to his family. Despite the risks, Rathee remains calm. He makes videos for one reason. “I hope they teach people tolerance, coexistence, and accepting each other’s opinions, values that I myself really value,” he says. “I’m surprised doing such a simple thing can bring so much attention,” he adds, “maybe because no one tries to dare to do that.” 12. What problem did Rathee notice with Indians? A. They blindly subscribed to vlogs. B. They were addicted to online videos. C. They had limited access to the Internet. D. They were easily misled by online information. 13. Why did Rathee make his video about the film? A. To attract views and attention. B. To correct government data. C. To stop the spread of a false theory. D. To support his previous argument. 14. Which word could best describe Rathee’s work? A. Confusing. B. Enlightening. C. Disappointing. D. Entertaining. 15. What does the underlined word“that” in the last paragraph refer to? A. Raising various opinions. B. Challenging the authority. C. Making fact-checking videos. D. Critisizing traditional values. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Habits to Be a Highly Effective Student Some students are able to get straight A’s and at the same time serve as the president of three clubs.

Their friendship was like a big tree, rooted deep in the soil of their hearts, weathering every storm that came their way. As they grew older, Jack and Tom attended the same school, where they continued to grow up academically and socially. They were both extraordinary students, but it was their friendship that set them apart from others. They supported each other through thick and thin, always ready to lend a helping hand or a listening ear to each other. Sometime later, Jack’s family faced a severe financial crisis, forcing them to move away from their beloved town. The news broke Jack and Tom’s world, as they had never imagined a life without each other. However, they vowed (发誓) to remain in touch and promised to visit each other as often as they could. Over the years, Jack and Tom took different paths in life. Jack did excellent in his studies and eventually landed a very good job in a big city, while Tom pursued his passion for art and became a successful artist. Despite their busy schedules, they never forgot their promise and made sure to keep in touch through letters, phone calls, and occasional visits. One summer, Jack received terrible news—Tom had been diagnosed (诊断) with a rare cancer. Heartbroken, Jack immediately booked the first flight back to their hometown to be by his friend’s side. When he arrived, he found Tom weak and fragile (脆弱的), but his spirit remained unbroken. In the days of pain and uncertainty, Jack and Tom’s bond simply grew stronger. They spent hours recalling their childhood adventures, laughing at old jokes and sharing stories of their lives. Jack would read books to Tom, who would paint pictures inspired by their memories.
