Get behind-the-scenes movie information and stunt shows(特技表演)to keep the whole family entertained for the best part of a day. (作为澳大利亚唯一一个与电影相关的主题公园，电影世界拥有美丽的海岸和众多与电影相关的游乐设施，让您体验充满好莱坞魅力的刺激冒险。获取幕后电影信息和特技表演，让全家人度过一天中最美好的时光)”可知，Movie World是澳大利亚唯一与电影相关的主题公园，能让人体验充满好莱坞魅力的刺激冒险，还能获取电影幕后信息等，所以电影《蝙蝠侠》的粉丝应该会考虑去Movie World。故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Tropical Fruit World中的“Admission is $36 for adults and $17 for kids and free for kids under 5.(门票成人36美元，儿童17美元，5岁以下儿童免费)”可知，Tropical Fruit World的成人门票36美元，儿童门票17美元，5岁以下儿童免费。因此带一对11岁的双胞胎去，需花费36+17×2=70美元。故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary中的“Crocodiles, kangaroos, koalas and almost all of the other famous Australian native animals are living in Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary. You can look at them, feed and play with some of them or just experience the fantastic 27-hectare bushland setting — an oasis (乐土) of wildlife among the Gold Coast bustle.(鳄鱼、袋鼠、考拉和几乎所有其他著名的澳大利亚本土动物都生活在科伦宾野生动物保护区。你可以观赏它们，给它们喂食，和它们一起玩耍，或者只是体验一下27公顷的奇妙丛林环境——黄金海岸喧嚣中一片野生动物的绿洲)”可知，在Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary可以观赏澳大利亚本土动物，还能喂食并和一些动物玩耍，也就是可以和一些动物互动。故选D。 B My three boys were infatuated (迷恋) with building blocks as children, and my husband would play with them, teaching the concept of a “stable base”. But I was the one alone with the kids day after day, enduring soul-crushing afternoons on the floor of the playroom. I remember when the boys were about 3, 7 and 8, feeling like it was an eternity until my husband would get home, and I was thinking: “Lego again? Didn’t we just do this yesterday?” Those hours seemed to go on forever. Of the three, my middle child, Aaron, was the one I couldn’t always understand. We moved from Ohio to the Bay Area. He’d always been change averse. He was unhappy, wailing for days like King Lear in the storm: “Why is everything different?” So how did Aaron find his balance? Aaron continued building with Lego even as his peers outgrew it. In middle school he found an online group of enthusiasts who shared designs. By high school, he had discovered the “adult fans of Lego” community. During college, he started accepting commission(委托) work. After graduating, he continued with larger and better-paying commissions, cobbling (拼凑) together a burgeoning career. A few years after he graduated, he was hired by Lego. He and his wife now live in Billund, Denmark. Last fall, when Aaron and I went to the Lego store at Rockefeller Center, I felt like I got a glimpse into the center of his soul. We saw sets he’d designed, and he told me about fellow designers. I realize the concept of the “stable base” that my husband taught him all those years ago has become a metaphor for Aaron’s life: Lego is where he feels the most calm, happy and competent. He needs things to make sense in the way Lego makes sense. The time has gone too fast. I have a new and profound connection to Aaron. When I dump out a bag of the little plastic bricks and start sorting through them, just the mere sound brings me back, to remember and to feel the essence of my son, however far away he might be. 4. How did the author feel when building Lego with her children? A. Energetic. B. Content. C. Bored. D. Anxious. 5. What can we infer about Aaron? A. He usually keeps others at a distance. B. He is slow in adapting to life changes. C. His hobby changed as he grew up. D. He immersed himself in a virtual community. 6. What did the author realize after visiting the Lego store with Aaron? A. A stable base is important. B. A designer has a calm soul. C. Lego is her son’s “stable base”. D. It is meaningful to build Lego. 7. What does Lego mean to the author now? A. A bridge to connect with her son. B. A reminder of her happy childhood. C. A game to escape from life boredom. D. A passion for an endless imaginative world. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者与儿子Aaron之间关于乐高积木的故事，以及乐高如何成为Aaron生活中的重要组成部分，并最终成为他的职业道路。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“I remember when the boys were about 3, 7 and 8, feeling like it was an eternity until my husband would get home, and I was thinking: “Lego again? Didn’t we just do this yesterday?” Those hours seemed to go on forever.(我记得孩子们大概3岁、7岁和8岁的时候，感觉在丈夫回家之前的时间无比漫长，我当时就在想：“又玩乐高？我们昨天不是刚玩过吗？”那些时光似乎无穷无尽。)”可知，作者觉得在丈夫回家之前的时间很漫长，并且对于又要和孩子们玩乐高表示出厌烦，那些和孩子们玩乐高的时光似乎无穷无尽。故选C。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“We moved from Ohio to the Bay Area. He’d always been change averse. He was unhappy, wailing for days like King Lear in the storm: “Why is everything different?”(我们从俄亥俄州搬到了旧金山湾区。他向来不喜欢改变。他很不开心，像暴风雨中的李尔王一样哀号了好几天：“为什么一切都不一样了？”)”可知，Aaron一直不喜欢改变，当从俄亥俄州搬到旧金山湾区时，他不开心，像暴风雨中的李尔王一样哀号了好几天，这说明他在适应生活变化方面比较慢。故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“I realize the concept of the “stable base” that my husband taught him all those years ago has become a metaphor for Aaron’s life: Lego is where he feels the most calm, happy and competent. He needs things to make sense in the way Lego makes sense.(我意识到，多年前我丈夫教他的“稳固基础”概念，已经成了亚伦人生的一个隐喻：乐高是让他感到最平静、快乐和自信的地方。他需要事物像乐高那样有章可循。)”可知，作者和Aaron去了乐高店后，意识到多年前丈夫教 Aaron 的“稳固基础”概念已经成为Aaron生活的一个隐喻，乐高是让他感到最平静、快乐和自信的地方，即乐高是Aaron的“稳固基础”。故选C。 7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The time has gone too fast. I have a new and profound connection to Aaron. When I dump out a bag of the little plastic bricks and start sorting through them, just the mere sound brings me back, to remember and to feel the essence of my son, however far away he might be. (时间过得太快了。我和Aaron之间建立了一种全新的、深厚的联系。当我倒出一袋小小的塑料积木并开始整理时，仅仅是那声音就能把我带回到过去，让我想起儿子，感受到他的本质，无论他身在多远的地方。)”可知，作者现在和Aaron之间有了一种全新的、深厚的联系。当她倒出一袋小塑料积木并开始整理时，积木的声音能让她想起儿子，感受到儿子的本质，即便儿子远在他乡。这表明乐高成为了作者与儿子之间联系的桥梁。故选A。 C SpaceX Starship test launch in October 2024 marked another milestone for the world’s largest and most powerful rocket. But additional data collected indicates Starship may be even more damaging to local communities and wildlife than critics previously feared. According to datasets published, the 30-story-tall Starship’s 33 engines generate anywhere between 105 and 125 decibels (分贝) during its liftoff and landing, which is powerful enough to cause structural damage to buildings. Gee, a professor in Brigham Young University, detected those sound levels roughly six miles away. “This is the largest rocket ever built. It would stand to reason that it would also produce the highest level of noise among all rockets ever constructed.” Gee said. Gee stresses that although researchers often measure noise using decibel levels, there are other measurements for sound. So he believes it’s best to assess Starship’s loudness by comparing it to other understandable quantities. On the quieter end, Starship’s liftoff may sound similar to an average rock concert. At its loudest that noise is equal to hearing a close range gunshot. According to environmental engineer Roesch, the “raw power output” from Starship’s Super Heavy rockets has increased 30 percent since the FAA’s initial risk review in 2019, an amount expected to grow over future launches. Roesch calls past assumptions by the FAA “not only factually laughable based on an understanding of basic physics” but contradictory to NASA’s decades of Acoustic Modeling document. “No bird egg will survive that kind of impact. More deaths for animals are not accounted for in the FAA’s risk assessment.” Gee declines to offer a personal opinion regarding SpaceX’s ongoing Starship launch schedule, and believes humanity’s future may require space travel. In the meantime, he hopes the new data will inform policy and regulatory decisions. “We are talking about levels that people found unacceptable before,” he says. 8. How did Gee conclude SpaceX’s rocket would be the loudest ever built? A. He measured the decibel levels directly. B. He calculated the rocket’s engine power. C. He inferred from the rocket’s dimensions. D. He checked all the datasets published. 9. Why does Gee mention gunshot? A. To indicate possible damage. B. To make readers amused. C. To measure sounds accurately. D. To describe noise levels vividly. 10. What did Roesch think of FAA’s assumptions? A. Factual but contradictory. B. Illogical and inaccurate. C. Optimistic but simple. D. Irrelevant and outdated. 11. What is the text mainly about? A. Animal injuries during SpaceX’s launches. B. Fair prospects for SpaceX’ s Starship project. C. Technical drawbacks of SpaceX’s rocket engines. D. Environmental impact of SpaceX’s Starship launch. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章围绕2024年10月SpaceX 星际飞船测试发射展开，指出其对当地社区和野生动物破坏超预期，阐述噪音影响及相关人士观点。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段第二句“This is the largest rocket ever built. It would stand to reason that it would also produce the highest level of noise among all rockets ever constructed.(这是有史以来建造的最大的火箭。有理由认为，它也会产生有史以来所有建造的火箭中最高水平的噪音。)”可知，Gee是从火箭的尺寸（the largest rocket）推断出SpaceX 的火箭会是有史以来噪音最大的。故选C项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句“At its loudest that noise is equal to hearing a close range gunshot.(在最响的时候，那种噪音等同于听到近距离的枪声。)”可知，Gee提到枪声是为了生动形象地描述噪音水平。故选D项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段第二句“Roesch calls past assumptions by the FAA ‘not only factually laughable based on an understanding of basic physics’ but contradictory to NASA’s decades of Acoustic Modeling document.(Roesch 称联邦航空局过去的假设‘基于对基础物理的理解，不仅在事实上可笑’，而且与美国国家航空航天局数十年的声学建模文件相矛盾。)”可知，Roesch认为联邦航空局的假设不合逻辑且不准确。故选B项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章第一段提到“But additional data collected indicates Starship may be even more damaging to local communities and wildlife than critics previously feared.(但是收集到的更多数据表明，星际飞船对当地社区和野生动物的破坏可能比批评者之前担心的还要严重。)”，接着后文从噪音对建筑的影响、对动物的影响等方面阐述了SpaceX 星际飞船发射对环境的影响。所以文章主要讲的是SpaceX 星际飞船发射对环境的影响。故选D项。 D The next time you’re feeling depressed or angry at the world, ask yourself if you’ve really been dealt a poor hand — or if, just maybe, you were expecting too much. That’s one message that can be drawn from a recent study on entitlement, a personality trait characterized by exaggerated feelings of deservingness and superiority. Entitlement may lead to constant disappointment, say researchers from Case Western Reserve University. The authors reached these conclusions after analyzing more than 170 academic papers. They found that people who possess high levels. of entitlement consistently fall victim to a three-part cycle: First, they don’t always get everything they think they deserve, leaving them constantly vulnerable to unmet expectations. Those unmet expectations are then perceived as injustices, leading to emotions like anger and sadness. Finally, to justify those emotions, entitled people reassure themselves of their own specialness. This helps them feel better temporarily, but ultimately starts the process all over again. At extreme levels, entitled people repeatedly expose themselves to the risk of feeling frustrated and disappointed with life. They also tend to suffer from poor relationships, interpersonal conflicts, and depression, says co-author Julie Exline, PhD, a professor of psychological sciences at Case Western Reserve. “So much of entitlement is about competition — being better or more deserving than other people, ”she told Health. com. “It really sets in opposition to society, and it can be very isolating. ” “It’s not easy for true narcissists (自恋者) to see themselves for what they are, or to change their way of thinking.” Exline says. But she does believe that, for many well-intentioned people, feelings of entitlement can be controlled. “Conditioning yourself to think about other people and what they deserve — and also being willing to admit your own faults and weaknesses — can help you feel more connected to others, ” she says. We should be also aware that not all feelings of entitlement are wrong or bad: We shouldn’t just lower our standards or stop expecting things we truly do deserve, just so we can be happier. But if you do notice that you’ve developed an overblown sense of self — and it’s causing you to be annoyed or not get along with others — you can definitely try to do something about it. 12. What causes entitled people to be trapped in a three-part cycle? A. Consistent negative emotions. B. A strong sense of self-awareness. C. Constant self-pity and helplessness. D. Unrealistic expectations and frustration. 13. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. The reason for entitlement. B. The benefits of competition. C. The negative effects of entitlement. D. The importance of connecting with others. 14. What might be Exline’s suggestion for entitled people? A. Change your mindset to one of competitiveness. B. Focus on your own achievements and superiority. C. Prioritize personal goals over considering others’ needs. D. Place yourself into others’ position and reflect on yourself. 15. Which word best describes the author’s attitude to entitlement? A. Balanced. B. Critical. C. Supportive. D. Tolerant. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章探讨了“配得感”(entitlement)这一人格特质，它以过分的应得感和优越感为特征。文章强调，虽然配得感可能导致问题，但并非所有配得感都是错误的，关键在于平衡期望与现实，以及学会考虑他人的需求和感受。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“They found that people who possess high levels. of entitlement consistently fall victim to a three-part cycle: First, they don’t always get everything they think they deserve, leaving them constantly vulnerable to unmet expectations. Those unmet expectations are then perceived as injustices, leading to emotions like anger and sadness. Finally, to justify those emotions, entitled people reassure themselves of their own specialness. This helps them feel better temporarily, but ultimately starts the process all over again.(他们发现拥有高水平的人。他们总是会陷入一个由三部分组成的循环：首先，他们并不总是得到他们认为应得的一切，这让他们总是容易受到无法实现的期望的伤害。这些未满足的期望被认为是不公平的，导致愤怒和悲伤等情绪。最后，为了证明这些情绪是合理的，有权利的人对自己的特殊性进行了自我安慰。这会让他们暂时感觉好一些，但最终还是会重新开始这个过程)” 可知，是不切实际的期望和挫折感导致了他们落入三部曲循环中。故选D。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“At extreme levels, entitled people repeatedly expose themselves to the risk of feeling frustrated and disappointed with life. They also tend to suffer from poor relationships, interpersonal conflicts, and depression, says co-author Julie Exline, PhD.(在极端情况下，配得感的人往往反复让自己感到沮丧和对生活失望。他们还有糟糕的人际关系、冲突以及抑郁问题)”可知，第三段主要讨论了配得感的负面影响，包括导致人际关系差、人际冲突和抑郁。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“Conditioning yourself to think about other people and what they deserve — and also being willing to admit your own faults and weaknesses—can help you feel more connected to others.(让自己去思考他人及他们的需要，同时愿意承认自己的缺点和弱点，可以帮助你与他人建立更深的联系。）可知，Exline的建议是要站在他人立场上思考问题，并进行自我反思。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“We should be also aware that not all feelings of entitlement are wrong or bad: We shouldn’t just lower our standards or stop expecting things we truly do deserve, just so we can be happier. But if you do notice that you’ve developed an overblown sense of self — and it’s causing you to be annoyed or not get along with others — you can definitely try to do something about it.(我们也应该意识到，并非所有的配得感都是错误的或不好的：我们不应该降低我们的标准或停止期待我们真正应得的东西，只是为了让我们更快乐。但是，如果你确实注意到你已经形成了一种过度的自我意识，并且它导致你感到烦恼或无法与他人相处——你绝对可以尝试做些什么)”可知，作者提倡对配得感有一个全面的看法，既不全盘否定，也不盲目肯定，而是寻求一个平衡点。故选A。 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 It’s no secret that artificial intelligence is changing the way we work. With more and more simpler tasks being automated, humans are left with more high-level cognitive work, such as idea generation, strategic planning, and creative writing. ____16____ The problem is that we still follow a mindset that resembles the era of assembly (组装) lines, which doesn’t foster or facilitate the type of work needed today. Leaders constantly measured productivity in terms of how many hours an employee spent at work or the number of abstract targets they reached. ____17____ This type of output doesn’t fit in the era of AI. Instead, we have to make a psychological switch, structuring each workday for quality instead of quantity. Start by kicking the old method of continuous work throughout the day. Research shows that continuous work impairs creative idea generation and high quality, complex cognitive work. ____18____ It’s recommended that using work sessions that are about 90 minutes long, attacking the hardest part of the task in the first 20 minutes and moving to the slower, easier work during the remaining time. ____19____ Therefore, managers should consider the principal area that a team or individual is working on rather than imposing the same work schedule across a team or an organization. Data suggests that it’s better to work on tasks that involve creativity, imagination, and problem solving during the first few hours of the day and again right before you go to sleep. ____20____ In between the focused work sessions, make time for a nap or for easy work that doesn’t require much creativity or focus. A. That’s because people tend to overwork. B. The time of day will also make a difference. C. As a result, quantity of work was prioritized. D. To excel in the new era, we’ll need to transform how we work. E. With every new technology comes fear and then new opportunity. F. Because of that, it’s better to work in bursts, giving the mind a rest. G. The middle of the day is better for something calling for concentration. 【答案】16. D 17. C 18. F 19. B 20. G 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了如何改变我们的工作方式来应对人工智能的影响。 【16题详解】 根据上文“It’s no secret that artificial intelligence is changing the way we work. With more and more simpler tasks being automated, humans are left with more high-level cognitive work, such as idea generation, strategic planning, and creative writing.(人工智能正在改变我们的工作方式，这已经不是什么秘密。随着越来越多简单的任务被自动化，人类只能从事更高级的认知工作，比如创意产生、战略规划和创意写作)”可知，上文提到人工智能在改变我们的工作方式，随着越来越多简单的任务被自动化，推测本句应说明人类应该如何应对这种情况。故D选项“要在新时代脱颖而出，我们需要改变我们的工作方式”符合语境。故选D。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Leaders constantly measured productivity in terms of how many hours an employee spent at work or the number of abstract targets they reached.(领导者经常根据员工在工作中花费的时间或他们达到的抽象目标的数量来衡量生产力)”以及后文“This type of output doesn’t fit in the era of AI. Instead, we have to make a psychological switch, structuring each workday for quality instead of quantity. (这种类型的输出不适合人工智能时代。相反，我们必须进行心理上的转换，以质量而不是数量来安排每个工作日)”可知，上文提到了领导者通过花费的时间以及数量来衡量生产力，本句与上文构成因果关系，总结领导者优先考虑的工作数量。故C选项“因此，工作的数量被优先考虑”符合语境。故选C。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Start by kicking the old method of continuous work throughout the day. Research shows that continuous work impairs creative idea generation and high quality, complex cognitive work.(从摒弃整天连续工作的旧方法开始。研究表明，持续的工作损害了创造性想法的产生和高质量、复杂的认知工作)”以及后文“It’s recommended that using work sessions that are about 90 minutes long, attacking the hardest part of the task in the first 20 minutes and moving to the slower, easier work during the remaining time.(建议使用90分钟左右的工作时间，在前20分钟内解决任务中最难的部分，然后在剩下的时间里转向较慢、较容易的工作)”可知，本句与上文构成因果关系，指出应该集中精力工作，后文给出时间安排的建议。故F选项“正因为如此，最好是集中精力工作，让大脑得到休息”符合语境。故选F。 【19题详解】 根据后文“Therefore, managers should consider the principal area that a team or individual is working on rather than imposing the same work schedule across a team or an organization. Data suggests that it’s better to work on tasks that involve creativity, imagination, and problem solving during the first few hours of the day and again right before you go to sleep.(因此，管理者应该考虑团队或个人工作的主要领域，而不是在整个团队或组织中强加相同的工作时间表。数据表明，最好在一天的头几个小时和睡前做一些涉及创造力、想象力和解决问题的工作)”可知，后文提到“最好在一天的头几个小时和睡前做一些涉及创造力、想象力和解决问题的工作”，即工作的时间对效率产生影响。故B选项“一天中的时间也会有影响”符合语境。故选B。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Data suggests that it’s better to work on tasks that involve creativity, imagination, and problem solving during the first few hours of the day and again right before you go to sleep.(数据表明，最好在一天头几个小时和睡前做一些涉及创造力、想象力和解决问题的工作)”以及后文“In between the focused work sessions, make time for a nap or for easy work that doesn’t require much creativity or focus.(在集中精力工作的间隙，找时间打个盹，或者做一些不需要太多创造力和注意力的简单工作)”可知，上文提到了“在一天的头几个小时和睡前做一些涉及创造力、想象力和解决问题的工作”，本句承接上文，说明其他时间段应该进行什么样的工作。故G选项“中午是做需要集中注意力的事情的最佳时间”符合语境。故选G。 第三部分 语言知识运用 (共三节，满分30分) 第一节 完形填空 (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四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 My grandmother, Mary, had always been an agriculture artist.

After reciting a long list of hints, all of which she had already done, the expert made a ___26___ suggestion. He told her to hit the base of the tree with a broomstick to ___27___ its roots. Grandma knew the vibrations (震动)would find their way down to the root system, but she doubted if fruit would be the result of such an unconventional ___28___ . To her amazement, the next spring the tree ___29___ plentiful fruit, and the following years the fruit was more plentiful and healthy. We often laughed together at how ____30____ this beautiful elderly woman must have looked to anyone watching as she hit the defenseless tree.

Despite 44. to preserve 45. who 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是河北省蔚县的传统民间表演艺术——打树花的历史渊源、表演方式以及面临的传承挑战。 【36题详解】 考查动词时态。句意：它起源于暖泉镇，可追溯到明朝（1368—1644 年），是由武器铸造实践演变而来的。date back to意为“追溯到”，此处为谓语动词，描述客观事实，时态用一般现在时，主语it是第三人称单数，所以谓语用动词date的第三人称单数形式dates。故填dates。 【37题详解】 考查介词。句意：它起源于暖泉镇，可追溯到明朝（1368—1644 年），是由武器铸造实践演变而来的。此处为固定短语evolve from意为“由……演变而来”。故填from。 【38题详解】 考查同位语从句。句意：铁匠发现熔化的铁溅到冷表面上会产生耀眼的火花，这使它后来成为祈求和平和丰收的节日仪式。此处为连接词引导的同位语从句，解释空前的名词discovery，从句中不缺句子成分，且句意完整，所以此处使用连接词that。故填that。 【39题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：打树花通常在节日和周末表演，需要在1600多摄氏度的高温下熔化500公斤废铁。本句中已有谓语动词involves，所以此处是非谓语动词，dashuhua与perform“表演”之间是被动关系，所以用过去分词performed，作状语。故填performed。 【40题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：一个由12人组成的团队，包括4名表演者，用柳勺将铁水抛向一面冷墙上，形成了一棵火花树。本句中已有谓语动词uses，所以本空是非谓语动词，此处表示自然而然的结果，所以使用现在分词creating作结果状语。故填creating。 【41题详解】 考查冠词。句意：表演者穿戴防护装备，如草帽和羊皮夹克，但由于高温，受伤很常见。结合句意，此处特指“打树花表演时的高温”，用定冠词the表特指。故填the。 【42题详解】 考查名词。句意：他强调这项艺术对勇气、力量和精确性的要求。此处与名词courage和strength并列，作介词for的宾语，所以用precise的名词precision意为“精确性”，且为不可数名词。故填precision。 【43题详解】 考查介词。句意：尽管它美丽非凡，这一传统仍面临挑战，在暖泉镇仅剩下四位熟练的传承人。此空后为名词作宾语，所以此处使用介词，与空后名词构成介词短语，结合句意，上下文之间为转折意义，所以此处使用介词despite意为“尽管”符合逻辑，位于句首，首字母需大写。故填Despite。 【44题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：年轻一代兴趣较低，促使当地通过旅游、教育和培训项目来努力保护这门手艺。本句谓语为are，此处为非谓语动词，根据effort to do sth.意为“做某事的努力”，为固定搭配，所以使用动词不定式to preserve，作后置定语，修饰efforts。故填to preserve。 【45题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：打树花不仅仅是一场精彩表演；它体现了表演者的勇气、技巧和毅力，他们为让这一文化瑰宝为子孙后代传承下去而努力。此处为关系词引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是performers，指人，先行词在从句中作主语，所以使用关系代词who。故填who。 第三节 单词填空 (共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分) 请认真阅读下列各小题，并根据上下文语境和所给首字母或中文的提示，写出下列各句空格中的单词，注意保持语义和形式的一致。 46.

On the third morning, we left our camp for a hike. We picked our way along a stream in a park. There were six of us. Tall and strong, Sam led the way. After a while, we found a small waterfall and some smaller kids playing in the pool below together with their camp leaders. Forked ribbons of water (分叉的带状水流) leapt about three meters into the pool. We settled ourselves on a large stone above the waterfall. We unpacked our bags and spread out food, eating and laughing. Minutes later, the others carried all the food and attempted to jump across the stream above the waterfall. Soon, they crossed the first narrow ribbon of water and were now standing on the rocks that bordered the second channel. To me, the second channel looked so wide! Scared, I decided to stay right where I was. But they yelled back, “Come on over here! If you want any juice, that is!” I was thirsty. Slowly, I picked my way across a group of rocks till I reached a flat stone opposite where they were grouped. All had their backs to me; they were now busy aiming small stones at a fallen tree on the bank. I glanced down. The very cold water was running past the stone, inches away from my feet. I looked across the belt of water towards the tempting fruit juice! This sight inspired me to take action. I bent down, tensed myself to leap, and then glanced towards the left side. Barely two meters away was the waterfall. Although it was small and there were adults below, I still feared. My knees trembled; I drew back a couple of paces, staring at the running water. “Come along, Jimmy!” Sam said in a gentle voice. I looked up. Sam stood on the other side, barely four feet away from me. He must have seen me hesitating on the edge of the stone and sensed my terror at jumping across this little stream! Embarrassed, I took off my glasses. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I wiped them, searching for a reason to avoid crossing the water. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Then I gathered my courage, took a step forward, and jumped lightly across the channel. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I wiped them, searching for a reason to avoid crossing the water. After putting them on again, Sam was still there. “I don’t want any juice!” I said. Sam nodded understandingly. “Fine!” he spoke pleasantly and stood waiting. Frustrated by my own weakness, I took a deep breath, preparing myself to jump across the water. Once again, fear overwhelmed me. I looked towards where the others sat. Much to my relief, they still had their backs turned; only Sam stood opposite me, looking straight into my eyes, patiently. Then I gathered my courage, took a step forward, and jumped lightly across the channel. A slight slip of my heel on a stone was quickly steadied by Sam’s strong forearm against my back. As I glanced up, I couldn’t help but notice Sam’s towering height — the tallest among us. “Well done, Jimmy!” he said, nodding in approval while praising me for my bravery. Meanwhile, he handed me a bottle of juice. While drinking it, I felt a sense of pride in myself and gratitude towards Sam for his kindness. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者参与一个旨在带给学生乐趣并增强他们勇气的项目，在徒步活动中，作者面对需要跨过一条较宽的水流时感到害怕，但在同伴Sam的鼓励和帮助下，最终鼓起勇气成功跨过水流，并因此感到自豪和对Sam的感激之情。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我擦了擦眼镜，试图找个理由不跨过这条小溪。”以及第二段首句内容“然后我鼓起勇气，向前迈了一步，轻轻地跳过了水道。”可知，第一段可描写作者心生胆怯，不想跨过小溪，但是Sam却在耐心地等待着作者。 ②由第二段首句内容“然后我鼓起勇气，向前迈了一步，轻轻地跳过了水道。”可知，第二段可描写作者鼓起勇气跳过了水道，Sam则立刻扶住了作者并表扬了作者。 2.续写线索：作者感到很恐惧，于是擦了擦眼镜，想要找个理由不跨这条小溪——然而，戴上眼镜后，作者发现Sam在看着自己——作者再次鼓起勇气，想要跳过去，但是恐惧再次袭来——所幸并没有人注意到这一切——Sam静静等待着作者——作者鼓足勇气，跳过了水道——但是脚后跟微微滑了一下——幸亏Sam稳稳扶住了作者——Sam表扬了作者，称赞了作者的勇敢——作者很感激Sam 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①想要：want/would like ②注意到：notice/spot ③递给：hand/give 情绪类 ①沮丧的：frustrated/depressed ②感激：gratitude/thankfulness 【点睛】【高分句型1】I looked towards where the others sat.（运用了where引导的宾语从句） 【高分句型2】As I glanced up, I couldn’t help but notice Sam’ s towering height — the tallest among us.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024-2025学年第二学期高二年级三月阳光监测 英语 注意事项：1. 本卷满分150分，调研时间120分钟。 2. 答卷前，学生务必将自己的学校、姓名、调研序列号等相关信息填写在答题卡上规定的地方。 3. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑，如需改动，用橡皮擦下净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本卷上无效。 第一部分 听力 (共两节，满分30分) 说题时，先将答案标在试卷上，录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节 (共5小题：每小题15分，满分75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 My three boys were infatuated (迷恋) with building blocks as children, and my husband would play with them, teaching the concept of a “stable base”. But I was the one alone with the kids day after day, enduring soul-crushing afternoons on the floor of the playroom. I remember when the boys were about 3, 7 and 8, feeling like it was an eternity until my husband would get home, and I was thinking: “Lego again? Didn’t we just do this yesterday?” Those hours seemed to go on forever. Of the three, my middle child, Aaron, was the one I couldn’t always understand. We moved from Ohio to the Bay Area. He’d always been change averse. He was unhappy, wailing for days like King Lear in the storm: “Why is everything different?” So how did Aaron find his balance? Aaron continued building with Lego even as his peers outgrew it. In middle school, he found an online group of enthusiasts who shared designs. By high school, he had discovered the “adult fans of Lego” community. During college, he started accepting commission(委托) work. After graduating, he continued with larger and better-paying commissions, cobbling (拼凑) together a burgeoning career. A few years after he graduated, he was hired by Lego. He and his wife now live in Billund, Denmark. Last fall, when Aaron and I went to the Lego store at Rockefeller Center, I felt like I got a glimpse into the center of his soul. We saw sets he’d designed, and he told me about fellow designers. I realize the concept of the “stable base” that my husband taught him all those years ago has become a metaphor for Aaron’s life: Lego is where he feels the most calm, happy and competent. He needs things to make sense in the way Lego makes sense. The time has gone too fast. I have a new and profound connection to Aaron. When I dump out a bag of the little plastic bricks and start sorting through them, just the mere sound brings me back, to remember and to feel the essence of my son, however far away he might be. 4. How did the author feel when building Lego with her children? A. Energetic. B. Content. C. Bored. D. Anxious. 5. What can we infer about Aaron? A. He usually keeps others at a distance. B. He is slow in adapting to life changes. C. His hobby changed as he grew up. D. He immersed himself in a virtual community. 6. What did the author realize after visiting the Lego store with Aaron? A. A stable base is important. B. A designer has a calm soul. C. Lego is her son’s “stable base”. D. It is meaningful to build Lego. 7. What does Lego mean to the author now? A. A bridge to connect with her son. B. A reminder of her happy childhood. C. A game to escape from life boredom. D. A passion for an endless imaginative world. C SpaceX Starship test launch in October 2024 marked another milestone for the world’s largest and most powerful rocket. But additional data collected indicates Starship may be even more damaging to local communities and wildlife than critics previously feared. According to datasets published, the 30-story-tall Starship’s 33 engines generate anywhere between 105 and 125 decibels (分贝) during its liftoff and landing, which is powerful enough to cause structural damage to buildings. Gee, a professor in Brigham Young University, detected those sound levels roughly six miles away. “This is the largest rocket ever built. It would stand to reason that it would also produce the highest level of noise among all rockets ever constructed.” Gee said. Gee stresses that although researchers often measure noise using decibel levels, there are other measurements for sound. So he believes it’s best to assess Starship’s loudness by comparing it to other understandable quantities. On the quieter end, Starship’s liftoff may sound similar to an average rock concert. At its loudest that noise is equal to hearing a close range gunshot. According to environmental engineer Roesch, the “raw power output” from Starship’s Super Heavy rockets has increased 30 percent since the FAA’s initial risk review in 2019, an amount expected to grow over future launches. Roesch calls past assumptions by the FAA “not only factually laughable based on an understanding of basic physics” but contradictory to NASA’s decades of Acoustic Modeling document. “No bird egg will survive that kind of impact. More deaths for animals are not accounted for in the FAA’s risk assessment.” Gee declines to offer a personal opinion regarding SpaceX’s ongoing Starship launch schedule, and believes humanity’s future may require space travel. In the meantime, he hopes the new data will inform policy and regulatory decisions. “We are talking about levels that people found unacceptable before,” he says. 8. How did Gee conclude SpaceX’s rocket would be the loudest ever built? A. He measured the decibel levels directly. B. He calculated the rocket’s engine power. C. He inferred from the rocket’s dimensions. D. He checked all the datasets published. 9. Why does Gee mention gunshot? A. To indicate possible damage. B. To make readers amused. C. To measure sounds accurately. D. To describe noise levels vividly. 10. What did Roesch think of FAA’s assumptions? A. Factual but contradictory. B. Illogical and inaccurate. C. Optimistic but simple. D. Irrelevant and outdated. 11. What is the text mainly about? A. Animal injuries during SpaceX’s launches. B. Fair prospects for SpaceX’ s Starship project. C. Technical drawbacks of SpaceX’s rocket engines. D. Environmental impact of SpaceX’s Starship launch. D The next time you’re feeling depressed or angry at the world, ask yourself if you’ve really been dealt a poor hand — or if, just maybe, you were expecting too much. That’s one message that can be drawn from a recent study on entitlement, a personality trait characterized by exaggerated feelings of deservingness and superiority. Entitlement may lead to constant disappointment, say researchers from Case Western Reserve University. The authors reached these conclusions after analyzing more than 170 academic papers. They found that people who possess high levels. of entitlement consistently fall victim to a three-part cycle: First, they don’t always get everything they think they deserve, leaving them constantly vulnerable to unmet expectations. Those unmet expectations are then perceived as injustices, leading to emotions like anger and sadness. Finally, to justify those emotions, entitled people reassure themselves of their own specialness. This helps them feel better temporarily, but ultimately starts the process all over again. At extreme levels, entitled people repeatedly expose themselves to the risk of feeling frustrated and disappointed with life. They also tend to suffer from poor relationships, interpersonal conflicts, and depression, says co-author Julie Exline, PhD, a professor of psychological sciences at Case Western Reserve. “So much of entitlement is about competition — being better or more deserving than other people, ”she told Health. com. “It really sets in opposition to society, and it can be very isolating. ” “It’s not easy for true narcissists (自恋者) to see themselves for what they are, or to change their way of thinking.” Exline says. But she does believe that, for many well-intentioned people, feelings of entitlement can be controlled. “Conditioning yourself to think about other people and what they deserve — and also being willing to admit your own faults and weaknesses — can help you feel more connected to others, ” she says. We should be also aware that not all feelings of entitlement are wrong or bad: We shouldn’t just lower our standards or stop expecting things we truly do deserve, just so we can be happier. But if you do notice that you’ve developed an overblown sense of self — and it’s causing you to be annoyed or not get along with others — you can definitely try to do something about it. 12. What causes entitled people to be trapped in a three-part cycle? A. Consistent negative emotions. B. A strong sense of self-awareness. C. Constant self-pity and helplessness. D. Unrealistic expectations and frustration. 13. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. The reason for entitlement. B. The benefits of competition. C. The negative effects of entitlement. D. The importance of connecting with others. 14. What might be Exline’s suggestion for entitled people? A. Change your mindset to one of competitiveness. B. Focus on your own achievements and superiority. C. Prioritize personal goals over considering others’ needs. D. Place yourself into others’ position and reflect on yourself. 15. Which word best describes the author’s attitude to entitlement? A. Balanced. B. Critical. C. Supportive. D. Tolerant. 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 It’s no secret that artificial intelligence is changing the way we work. With more and more simpler tasks being automated, humans are left with more high-level cognitive work, such as idea generation, strategic planning, and creative writing. ____16____ The problem is that we still follow a mindset that resembles the era of assembly (组装) lines, which doesn’t foster or facilitate the type of work needed today. Leaders constantly measured productivity in terms of how many hours an employee spent at work or the number of abstract targets they reached. ____17____ This type of output doesn’t fit in the era of AI. Instead, we have to make a psychological switch, structuring each workday for quality instead of quantity. Start by kicking the old method of continuous work throughout the day. Research shows that continuous work impairs creative idea generation and high quality, complex cognitive work. ____18____ It’s recommended that using work sessions that are about 90 minutes long, attacking the hardest part of the task in the first 20 minutes and moving to the slower, easier work during the remaining time. ____19____ Therefore, managers should consider the principal area that a team or individual is working on rather than imposing the same work schedule across a team or an organization. Data suggests that it’s better to work on tasks that involve creativity, imagination, and problem solving during the first few hours of the day and again right before you go to sleep. ____20____ In between the focused work sessions, make time for a nap or for easy work that doesn’t require much creativity or focus. A. That’s because people tend to overwork. B. The time of day will also make a difference. C. As a result, quantity of work was prioritized. D. To excel in the new era, we’ll need to transform how we work. E. With every new technology comes fear and then new opportunity. F. Because of that, it’s better to work in bursts, giving the mind a rest. G. The middle of the day is better for something calling for concentration. 第三部分 语言知识运用 (共三节，满分30分) 第一节 完形填空 (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四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 My grandmother, Mary, had always been an agriculture artist.

On the third morning, we left our camp for a hike. We picked our way along a stream in a park. There were six of us. Tall and strong, Sam led the way. After a while, we found a small waterfall and some smaller kids playing in the pool below together with their camp leaders. Forked ribbons of water (分叉的带状水流) leapt about three meters into the pool. We settled ourselves on a large stone above the waterfall. We unpacked our bags and spread out food, eating and laughing. Minutes later, the others carried all the food and attempted to jump across the stream above the waterfall. Soon, they crossed the first narrow ribbon of water and were now standing on the rocks that bordered the second channel. To me, the second channel looked so wide! Scared, I decided to stay right where I was. But they yelled back, “Come on over here! If you want any juice, that is!” I was thirsty. Slowly, I picked my way across a group of rocks till I reached a flat stone opposite where they were grouped. All had their backs to me; they were now busy aiming small stones at a fallen tree on the bank. I glanced down. The very cold water was running past the stone, inches away from my feet. I looked across the belt of water towards the tempting fruit juice! This sight inspired me to take action. I bent down, tensed myself to leap, and then glanced towards the left side. Barely two meters away was the waterfall. Although it was small and there were adults below, I still feared. My knees trembled; I drew back a couple of paces, staring at the running water. “Come along, Jimmy!” Sam said in a gentle voice. I looked up. Sam stood on the other side, barely four feet away from me. He must have seen me hesitating on the edge of the stone and sensed my terror at jumping across this little stream! Embarrassed, I took off my glasses. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I wiped them, searching for a reason to avoid crossing the water. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Then I gathered my courage took a step forward, and jumped lightly across the channel. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
