B Kevin Beard is my class instructor. I was shocked when I arrived one day to find him standing in front of the room telling a story, with tears streaming down his cheeks. I was worried something had gone terribly wrong in his life, but as I listened to him talk, I heard him use words like “amazing” and “accomplishment.” I realized his tears weren’t out of sorrow, but happiness. Just a few days earlier, he’d received his GED (General Equivalency Diploma), at the age of 52. Having dyslexia (阅读障碍), Kevin left school at a young age and then managed to support himself by taking odd jobs. In his mid-30s, Kevin finally landed an opportunity for a job with some promise: working for a sheriff’s department (治安部门). Amazingly, when he came clean with them about his education, they said they’d hire him as long as he got his GED. He agreed, optimistic about this new career potential, and kind of excited about giving school another chance. Kevin studied with a tutor, and he did it for more than a decade, learning and practicing and correcting his mistakes, every free moment he had, often late into the night. It was a huge challenge, something Kevin compares to “climbing a mountain.” In fact, as Kevin took tests along the way, he did something interesting with each of his results. He posted them on his bedroom wall so that he could watch his progress. “I needed to see myself moving forward, and I wanted to speak, ” he said. Finally, he made it. “I can’t really describe what it’s like to finally achieve this,” he said. “I can hardly even put it into words. People are giving me graduation gifts! It’s a dream come true.” This might sound like a perfect ending. But for Kevin, it’s a new beginning. He’s on a roll, and his next step is college. “Now that I’ve accomplished my GED, I’m hungry for education,” he said. 4 Why did Kevin cry in the classroom? A. He was worried about his job. B. He had reached one of his goals. C. He was moved by a touching movie. D. He had experienced something terrible. 5 What do the underlined words “came clean” mean in Paragraph 2? A. Told the truth B. Passed a test C. Started a new job D. Achieved a clean record 6. How did Kevin encourage himself to keep going to get his GED? A. By doing things that interest him. B. By writing himself encouraging words. C By reporting his test results to his tutor. D. By reminding himself of his improvement. 7. What can we learn from Kevin’s story? A. Easy come, easy go. B. Grasp all, lose all. C. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. D. The early bird catches the worm. C Reducing calorie intake may lead to a thinner body and a longer life. People usually think it is because of weight loss and metabolic (新陈代谢) changes from eating less. But a recent study on diet limits in laboratory animals challenges this traditional view. To study how diet works, researchers observed 960 mice. These mice were genetically different, like humans. Some mice had calorie-limited diets, some fasted (禁食的) regularly, and others ate as they liked. It was found that diets with restricted calories caused weight loss and metabolic changes. However, factors like immune health, genes, and the body’s ability to bear stress seem to better explain the link between fewer calories and a longer life. Gary Churchill, a mouse researcher, said, “Metabolic changes are important, but they don’t directly lead to a longer life.” Other scientists think this shows how complicated the body’s response to calorie reduction. Cutting calories by 40% made the mice live the longest on average. But fasting regularly and less strict calorie limits also increased lifespan (寿命). As is known, dieting mice have positive metabolic changes such as less body fat and lower blood sugar. However, the effects of diet limits on metabolism and lifespan didn’t always go together. Surprisingly, mice that lost the most weight on a low-calorie diet sometimes died younger than those that lost less. This means that more than just metabolism affects how the body reacts to fewer calories. Immune health and red-blood-cell function were important for a longer life. Also, the body’s overall ability to handle stress was important. The findings may change how scientists think about diet limits in humans. In a human trial of a low-calorie diet researchers found that it reduced metabolic rates. But the mouse data suggests that metabolic measures may only show “health span”, not lifespan. Scientist Edmma notes that the study needs more evidence and warns not to directly use mouse results for humans, but he also admits that the study shows healthspan and lifespan are different. 8. How was the study conducted? A. By comparing mice with human beings. B. By developing the feeding habits of mice. C. By conducting experiment on different animals. D. By adopting the controlled experiment method. 9. What surprising result does the study reveal? A. All mice live longer under diet restriction. B. Dieting mice have positive metabolic changes. C. Regular fasting have little impact on the lifespan of mice. D. Mice with significant weight loss can have shorter lives. 10. What is scientist Edmma’s attitude toward the study? A. Cautious. B. Critical. C. Optimistic. D. Uncaring. 11. What’s the best title for the text? A. Metabolism: The Key to a Longer Life B. Less Food, Longer Life: The Simple Solution C. Diet and Lifespan: It’s More than Metabolism D. Calorie Restriction: Weight Loss and Metabolic Change D Many have probably heard of Thoreau, even though his message of simplicity may sound old-fashioned. Nowadays, smartphones flood us with text messages. Many consumers are buying the latest digital devices, from tablets and fitness trackers to commercial drones. Simple living seems to be a thing of the past. As a writer who declared the value of simplicity almost two centuries ago, Thoreau was a contrarian (叛逆者) for his time. He lived during the height of the Industrial Age, distinguished by the rise of large factories, expanding urban developments, and powerful machines such as steam engines. Turned off by the constant hustle and bustle of his time, Thoreau withdrew from city life to live alone in the woods. He brought with him only the necessities of life and wrote about this adventure in his book Walden. In Walden, Thoreau is basically making a philosophical statement. We are not living deliberate or meaningful lives, thanks (or no thanks) to modern technology. We created powerful machines to make life more convenient. Unfortunately, these machines have done the opposite. In his words, “men have become the tools of their tools”. That is to say, we are not the ones controlling technology. Technology is controlling us. Let me try updating Thoreau’s message with a couple 21st-century examples. Every few minutes, smartphones may distract us with messages. At least half of Americans check their phones several times an hour. Meanwhile, information overload from social media can weaken our concentration and heighten confusion. When technology causes that much distraction and confusion, it may be healthy to simplify life by reducing technology overuse. Personally, I’ve done so in two ways. First, I use very little data on my phone and keep the apps on it to a minimum. The vast majority of the time, I only use my phone to call or text. Second, I quit most social media. Sure, those two things aren’t as extreme as Thoreau withdrawing into the woods. Nevertheless, they’re realistic moves I can make toward living a more meaningful life. 12. Which statement would Thoreau probably agree with? A. Technology holds back our ambition. B. Technology is key to a meaningful life. C. Simplicity is possible in a tech-driven world. D. Simplicity is outdated in modern times. 13. What was the primary reason for Thoreau’s withdrawing from city life? A. To escape the harsh economic conditions of his time. B. To throw himself into the completion of his masterpiece. C. To experience a new and exciting lifestyle away from technology. D. To find a quieter existence that allows for deeper reflection and purpose. 14. What is presented in the last paragraph of the text? A. Theoretical models. B. Popular beliefs. C. Practical measures. D. Realistic analyses. 15. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To criticize the overuse of 21st-century modern technology. B. To illustrate Thoreau’s ideas on simple living in the modern context. C. To explore the role of technology in shaping contemporary lifestyles. D. To examine the effects of reduced social media use on personal well-being. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分 12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。 Ways to protect your personal information online It’s hard to scan the news without hearing about a major data leakage, potentially exposing millions of customers’ personal data to criminals. ____16____.

Every day, their teachers gave them loads of homework and told them the test was very important and that they ought to spare no effort to perform well in it. Everyone followed the teachers’ instructions and made preparations for it, except Marc. He just turned a deaf ear to it. He thought he would rather play football than study. His mum and dad repeated the importance of revision for exams over and over again. They told him that he should be working hard preparing for the test. But the weather was sunny and he thought he had better things to do. “Shall we go to the park?” he said to his friend Huck one afternoon. “It’s a nice day. We could play football and kick around.” Huck shook his head. “I’m supposed to review my lessons,” he said. “I’m going home to do some math.” Marc was amazed. “You’d rather do math than play football?” “Math is important. Besides my mum says she will buy me a mountain bike if I do well in the math exam.” “That’s crazy,” said Marc. Huck shrugged (耸肩) and replied, “Wait until I beat you in the test and you will watch me riding past on my mountain bike!” “You won’t beat me,” said Marc. “Oh yes, I will.” “Oh no, you won’t! That will never happen. Just wait and see!” For the first time ever, Marc wanted to perform well. He couldn’t bear it if his friend came top and he did badly. So when he got home, he opened his math book. But there was so much to do. All of a sudden, he felt like he’d forgotten everything he had learned that year! He didn’t know where to start. When his sister Lily came in, he was sitting expressionlessly by the desk, just staring out of the window. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式作答。 “You don’t look happy, Marc.

People usually think it is because of weight loss and metabolic (新陈代谢) changes from eating less. But a recent study on diet limits in laboratory animals challenges this traditional view. To study how diet works, researchers observed 960 mice. These mice were genetically different, like humans. Some mice had calorie-limited diets, some fasted (禁食的) regularly, and others ate as they liked. It was found that diets with restricted calories caused weight loss and metabolic changes. However, factors like immune health, genes, and the body’s ability to bear stress seem to better explain the link between fewer calories and a longer life. Gary Churchill, a mouse researcher, said, “Metabolic changes are important, but they don’t directly lead to a longer life.” Other scientists think this shows how complicated the body’s response to calorie reduction. Cutting calories by 40% made the mice live the longest on average. But fasting regularly and less strict calorie limits also increased lifespan (寿命). As is known, dieting mice have positive metabolic changes such as less body fat and lower blood sugar. However, the effects of diet limits on metabolism and lifespan didn’t always go together. Surprisingly, mice that lost the most weight on a low-calorie diet sometimes died younger than those that lost less. This means that more than just metabolism affects how the body reacts to fewer calories. Immune health and red-blood-cell function were important for a longer life. Also, the body’s overall ability to handle stress was important. The findings may change how scientists think about diet limits in humans. In a human trial of a low-calorie diet, researchers found that it reduced metabolic rates. But the mouse data suggests that metabolic measures may only show “health span”, not lifespan. Scientist Edmma notes that the study needs more evidence and warns not to directly use mouse results for humans, but he also admits that the study shows healthspan and lifespan are different. 8. How was the study conducted? A. By comparing mice with human beings. B. By developing the feeding habits of mice. C. By conducting experiment on different animals. D. By adopting the controlled experiment method. 9. What surprising result does the study reveal? A. All mice live longer under diet restriction. B. Dieting mice have positive metabolic changes. C. Regular fasting have little impact on the lifespan of mice. D. Mice with significant weight loss can have shorter lives. 10. What is scientist Edmma’s attitude toward the study? A. Cautious. B. Critical. C. Optimistic. D. Uncaring. 11. What’s the best title for the text? A. Metabolism: The Key to a Longer Life B. Less Food, Longer Life: The Simple Solution C. Diet and Lifespan: It’s More than Metabolism D. Calorie Restriction: Weight Loss and Metabolic Change 【答案】8. D 9. D 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项实验室动物饮食限制的研究发现，低卡路里摄入虽能引起体重减轻和代谢变化，但免疫健康、基因和身体承受压力的能力等因素对长寿的影响更为关键，这挑战了传统观点。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“These mice were genetically different, like humans. Some mice had calorie-limited diets, some fasted (禁食的) regularly, and others ate as they liked. (这些老鼠的基因不同，就像人类一样。一些老鼠限制卡路里的饮食，一些经常禁食，而另一些则随心所欲地吃)”可知，研究是通过控制实验方法进行的，即观察不同饮食限制下的老鼠。故选D项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“Surprisingly, mice that lost the most weight on a low-calorie diet sometimes died younger than those that lost less. (令人惊讶的是，通过低热量饮食减肥最多的老鼠有时比减肥较少的老鼠死得更早)”可知，一个令人惊讶的结果是，体重减轻最多的老鼠寿命可能更短。故选D项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Scientist Edmma notes that the study needs more evidence and warns not to directly use mouse results for humans, but he also admits that the study shows healthspan and lifespan are different. (科学家Edmma指出，这项研究需要更多的证据，并警告不要直接将小鼠的结果用于人类，但他也承认，这项研究表明健康寿命和寿命是不同的)”可知，Edmma认为需要更多的证据来支撑该研究，不能直接将研究结果从小鼠推及人类。由此推知，他对该研究持谨慎态度。故选A项。 11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Reducing calorie intake may lead to a thinner body and a longer life. People usually think it is because of weight loss and metabolic (新陈代谢) changes from eating less. But a recent study on diet limits in laboratory animals challenges this traditional view. (减少卡路里的摄入可以使身体更瘦，寿命更长。人们通常认为这是因为减肥和少吃引起的代谢变化。但最近一项关于实验室动物饮食限制的研究挑战了这种传统观点)”和第二段中“It was found that diets with restricted calories caused weight loss and metabolic changes. However, factors like immune health, genes, and the body’s ability to bear stress seem to better explain the link between fewer calories and a longer life. (研究发现，限制卡路里的饮食会导致体重减轻和代谢变化。然而，免疫健康、基因和身体承受压力的能力等因素似乎能更好地解释低卡路里和长寿之间的联系)”可知，文章呈现了一项实验室动物饮食限制的研究，该研究发现低卡路里摄入虽能引起体重减轻和代谢变化，但免疫健康、基因和身体承受压力的能力等因素对长寿的影响更为关键，挑战了传统观点。由此可知，C项“饮食与寿命：不仅仅是新陈代谢”最准确地概括了文章主旨，适合作为文章标题。故选C项。 D Many have probably heard of Thoreau, even though his message of simplicity may sound old-fashioned. Nowadays, smartphones flood us with text messages. Many consumers are buying the latest digital devices, from tablets and fitness trackers to commercial drones. Simple living seems to be a thing of the past. As a writer who declared the value of simplicity almost two centuries ago, Thoreau was a contrarian (叛逆者) for his time. He lived during the height of the Industrial Age, distinguished by the rise of large factories, expanding urban developments, and powerful machines such as steam engines. Turned off by the constant hustle and bustle of his time, Thoreau withdrew from city life to live alone in the woods. He brought with him only the necessities of life and wrote about this adventure in his book Walden. In Walden, Thoreau is basically making a philosophical statement. We are not living deliberate or meaningful lives, thanks (or no thanks) to modern technology. We created powerful machines to make life more convenient. Unfortunately, these machines have done the opposite. In his words, “men have become the tools of their tools”. That is to say, we are not the ones controlling technology. Technology is controlling us. Let me try updating Thoreau’s message with a couple 21st-century examples. Every few minutes, smartphones may distract us with messages. At least half of Americans check their phones several times an hour. Meanwhile, information overload from social media can weaken our concentration and heighten confusion. When technology causes that much distraction and confusion, it may be healthy to simplify life by reducing technology overuse. Personally, I’ve done so in two ways. First, I use very little data on my phone and keep the apps on it to a minimum. The vast majority of the time, I only use my phone to call or text. Second, I quit most social media. Sure, those two things aren’t as extreme as Thoreau withdrawing into the woods. Nevertheless, they’re realistic moves I can make toward living a more meaningful life. 12. Which statement would Thoreau probably agree with? A. Technology holds back our ambition. B. Technology is key to a meaningful life. C. Simplicity is possible in a tech-driven world. D. Simplicity is outdated in modern times. 13. What was the primary reason for Thoreau’s withdrawing from city life? A. To escape the harsh economic conditions of his time. B. To throw himself into the completion of his masterpiece. C. To experience a new and exciting lifestyle away from technology. D. To find a quieter existence that allows for deeper reflection and purpose. 14. What is presented in the last paragraph of the text? A. Theoretical models. B. Popular beliefs. C. Practical measures. D. Realistic analyses. 15. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To criticize the overuse of 21st-century modern technology. B. To illustrate Thoreau’s ideas on simple living in the modern context. C. To explore the role of technology in shaping contemporary lifestyles. D. To examine the effects of reduced social media use on personal well-being. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了Thoreau提倡简单生活理念，并将其与现代科技时代的生活进行对比，探讨了如何在科技驱动的世界中实现简单生活。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第一段中“Many have probably heard of Thoreau, even though his message of simplicity may sound old-fashioned. (许多人可能听说过Thoreau，尽管他的简朴思想听起来有些过时。)”和第三段“Turned off by the constant hustle and bustle of his time, Thoreau withdrew from city life to live alone in the woods. He brought with him only the necessities of life and wrote about this adventure in his book Walden. In Walden, Thoreau is basically making a philosophical statement. We are not living deliberate or meaningful lives, thanks (or no thanks) to modern technology. We created powerful machines to make life more convenient. Unfortunately, these machines have done the opposite. In his words, “men have become the tools of their tools”. (Thoreau对生活中不断的喧嚣感到厌烦，他退出了城市生活，独自一人住在树林里。他只带了生活必需品，并把这次冒险写成了他的书《Walden》。在《Walden》中，Thoreau基本上是在做一个哲学陈述。感谢（或不感谢）现代科技，我们没有过着深思熟虑或有意义的生活。我们创造了强大的机器，使生活更方便。不幸的是，这些机器起到了相反的作用。用他的话来说，“人类已经成为工具的工具”。)”可知，Thoreau提倡简单生活，并认为简单生活是有价值的，因此他可能会同意在科技驱动的世界中简单生活是有可能的这一观点。所以答案是C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“Turned off by the constant hustle and bustle of his time, Thoreau withdrew from city life to live alone in the woods.

Every day, their teachers gave them loads of homework and told them the test was very important and that they ought to spare no effort to perform well in it. Everyone followed the teachers’ instructions and made preparations for it, except Marc. He just turned a deaf ear to it. He thought he would rather play football than study. His mum and dad repeated the importance of revision for exams over and over again. They told him that he should be working hard preparing for the test. But the weather was sunny and he thought he had better things to do. “Shall we go to the park?” he said to his friend Huck one afternoon. “It’s a nice day. We could play football and kick around.” Huck shook his head. “I’m supposed to review my lessons,” he said. “I’m going home to do some math.” Marc was amazed. “You’d rather do math than play football?” “Math is important. Besides, my mum says she will buy me a mountain bike if I do well in the math exam.” “That’s crazy,” said Marc. Huck shrugged (耸肩) and replied, “Wait until I beat you in the test and you will watch me riding past on my mountain bike!” “You won’t beat me,” said Marc. “Oh yes, I will.” “Oh no, you won’t! That will never happen. Just wait and see!” For the first time ever, Marc wanted to perform well. He couldn’t bear it if his friend came top and he did badly. So when he got home, he opened his math book. But there was so much to do. All of a sudden, he felt like he’d forgotten everything he had learned that year! He didn’t know where to start. When his sister Lily came in, he was sitting expressionlessly by the desk, just staring out of the window. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式作答。 “You don’t look happy, Marc. What’s wrong?” she said. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On the day of the exam, Marc went to school with great confidence. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】“You don’t look happy, Marc. What’s wrong?” she said. Explaining what had happened, especially the bet between him and Huck, he told Lily his decision. He wanted to make careful preparations for the exam, but ran into difficulties with math. He was at a loss what to do next. “Don’t worry! I’ll help you. Just be confident!” replied Lily. The following days, Marc worked very hard and made great progress. Gradually, his confidence grew and he could solve math problems with ease, with the instructions appearing in his brain as if the teacher was standing at his side . On the day of the exam, Marc went to school with great confidence. He met Huck in the classroom, who looked delighted as if he was bound to win. But Marc didn’t care. When the exam began, Marc answered all the questions as best as he could. Several days later, the result came out. It turned out that Marc did much better than Huck. “Well done,” said Mom. “We could go to see a movie to celebrate, and you can choose one.” “I think Lily should choose,” said Marc. “I would never have gained such a great achievement without her help and encouragement .” 【解析】 【导语】文章以考试为线索。马上要考试了，同学们都积极努力地备考，除了贪玩的Marc。一天下午，Marc邀请好友Huck去踢足球，Huck拒绝了，他要认真学习，考出好成绩，这样妈妈会送给他一辆山地自行车。而且Huck还说自己一定会比Marc考得好。这让Marc备受刺激，他决心认真准备考试，但他感觉到很困难。于是在姐姐的帮助下，Marc积极准备考试，考出了好成绩。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“她说：‘Marc，你看起来不开心。怎么了?’”可知，本段可以写Marc会告诉姐姐Lily发生了什么事，以及自己遇到的困难，姐姐在得知Marc的困难之后应该会施以援手，帮助Marc复习功课，准备考试。在姐姐的帮助和自己的努力下，Mare在数学上应是有了很大的进步。 ②由第二段首句内容“考试那天，Marc自信满满地去了学校。”可知，本段可以写考试前、考试中以及考试后发生的事情。比如考试前Marc和Huck各自的状态，考试期间Marc的表现，以及考试成绩出来后，Marc取得了非常优异的成绩和Huck或Marc家人对此的反应等。 2.续写线索：Lily询问Marc→Marc讲述了自己遇到的困难→Lily帮助Marc复习→Marc成功地通过考试，且比Huck考得高→妈妈想要奖励Marc→Marc觉得奖励应该给Lily。 3.词汇激活： 行为类： 选择：choose/make a choice/make an option 增加了信心：grow confidence/build up confidence/double confidence 解决：solve/work out/tackle 情绪类： 充满信心：be confident/be full of confidence 高兴的：delighted/pleased/cheerful/be overcome with delight 感到困惑：be at a loss/be confused/be confounded 【点睛】【高分句型1】 Explaining what had happened, especially the bet between him and Huck, he told Lily his decision.(运用了现在分词作状语。) 【高分句型2】 He met Huck in the classroom, who looked delighted as if he was bound to win.(运用了who引导定语从句。) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
