In school, as a teenager, I tried to channel Whitney Houston. In the working world, I paid close attention to our female senior managers. By watching and imitating others—especially women of color who looked or sounded like me—I gained confidence in my own abilities. But when I started my own company, my pool of role models became smaller. Only 2.1% of risk investment (投资) goes to women-founded companies. “Who can I look up to?” I wondered. “Who can I learn from?” I decided to create an inspiration wall in my office, with photos of the role models I could see—women like Oprah, Michelle Obama, and Vicky, co-founder of a skincare brand. I never thought I’d meet these women, but their success gave me hope. Then one day, a couple of years ago, I surprised myself with a thought: what if I did reach out to one of my role models? I feared rejection, but my desire for connection was stronger. I chose Vicky, whose journey had long inspired me. I didn’t have her email address. So I tried a cold Instagram message, and she responded the next day! That was in 2022. We’ve spoken numerous times since, and the conversations have been invaluable. They’re rare chances to gain guidance from a successful woman. But here’s the most valuable lesson I gained: when Vicky first replied to me, I wasn’t the only one excited. Vicky was excited too—because she’s always looking for ways to support other women. All my life, I’d thought of role models as a one-way relationship: I’d gain strength from someone stronger. But the situation is more than that. I once sent Vicky a care package from my sunglasses company. She wrote me a thank-you note, and texted a selfie of her and her daughter wearing my products. Today, I keep that letter on my desk next to my keyboard—a reminder that just as I believe in her, she believes in me. We’re all here to help each other grow. 4. Why did the author create an inspiration wall in her office? A. To encourage herself to work hard. B. To inspire her employees’ creativity. C. To make her workplace more attractive. D. To improve her employees’ work efficiency. 5. Why did the author choose to reach out to Vicky? A. She only had Vicky’s email address. B. She was afraid of being refused by others. C. Vicky’s story had always inspired her. D. Vicky liked giving guidance to other women. 6. Which of the following can best describe the author? A. Creative and patient. B. Brave and thankful. C. Honest and responsible. D. Talented and skilled. 7. What can we learn from the story? A. Practice Makes Perfect. B. Strength is a Two-way Street. C. A Good Beginning Is Half Done. D. Actions Speak Louder Than Words. 4.【答案】A 【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段“But when I started my own company, my pool of role models became smaller. “Who can I look up to?” I wondered. “Who can I learn from?” I decided to create an inspiration wall in my office, with photos of the role models I could see”可知，作者创办自己的公司后，榜样变少，她想有可以仰望和学习的人，所以在办公室创建灵感墙，是为了鼓励自己努力工作 ，故选A。 5.【答案】C 【解析】细节理解题。从第三段“I chose Vicky, whose journey had long inspired me.”可知，作者选择联系 Vicky是因为Vicky的经历一直激励着她，故选 C。 6.【答案】B 【解析】推理判断题。作者从害怕联系自己的榜样，到鼓起勇气给Vicky发消息，这体现了她的勇敢；从最后一段“Today, I keep that letter on my desk next to my keyboard—a reminder that just as I believe in her, she believes in me.”能看出作者把Vicky的感谢信保留在桌上，体现了她懂得感恩，所以作者是勇敢且懂得感恩的，故选 B。 7.【答案】B 【解析】推理判断题。根据第四段“All my life, I’d thought of role models as a one-way relationship: I’d gain strength from someone stronger. But the situation is more than that.”以及文章讲述作者和Vicky相互支持的故事可知，力量是双向的，不只是从榜样身上获取力量，彼此也能相互给予支持，故选B。 C Disneyland’s opening day, July 17, 1955, was a terrible experience. Rides broke down. Restaurants ran out of food and drink and drinking fountains were in short supply... All in front of a national audience of 90 million, then the largest live broadcast in television history on a day that would be known in Disney history as Black Sunday. But Disney’s story actually started two decades earlier with what Walt Disney called “Daddy’s Day”. On Saturdays in the 1930s and 1940s, Disney would take his two daughters to ride the Griffith Park merry-go-round, which they’d enjoy while he sat on a bench dreaming of ways for families to have fun together. Disney disliked the amusement parks they often visited, seeing them as dirty, unimaginative places run by rude employees. He thought he could do better. In 1939 he asked two animators (动画片制作者) at his movie studio to work on a plan for an amusement park. By 1952 the idea had expanded into a $1.5 million amusement park proposal that he presented to Burbank. The City Council, which feared such a project would create a carnival (嘉年华) atmosphere, rejected the proposal. Disney counted the rejection as fortunate setback. By now, his dream for a theme park had gone beyond the space available in Burbank. He searched locations throughout Southern California. A 160-acre orange garden, 22 miles south of Los Angeles, was soon selected. The ABC television network offered $5 million in loans and investments if Disney agreed to produce and host a one-hour weekly show called "Disneyland". The deal amounted to months of free advertising for the park and allowed Disney to introduce TV audiences, particularly kids, to the park. Disneyland opened then. The 5,000 expected guests increased to 28, 154, thanks to fake tickets. After the madness of opening day, Disney and his new park were criticized in the press. The media predicted a quick and early end. But the public didn’t listen. Visitors arrived in large groups, and within weeks Disneyland was a success. Over sixty years later, Disneyland’s popularity continues to grow, with total overall attendance topping 700 million and showing no signs of slowing down. 8. What mainly led to Walt Disney’s plan to build his own amusement park? A. His ambition to expand beyond the movie industry. B. His animators’ suggestion on an entertainment plan. C. His wish to create a better place for family recreation. D. His daughters’ unpleasant experience in the Griffith Park. 9. By “Disney counted the rejection as a fortunate setback” in paragraph 3, the author means the rejection . A. brought good luck to Disney and his park B. let to the difficulty of opening the park C. was viewed as an economic challenge of the design of the park D. provided Disney with a good chance to rethink his plan 10．What can be learned about Disneyland from the passage? A. Everything went on smoothly before it opened. B. It spent $5 million on advertising for its opening. C. People’s love for it increasing since its opening. D. Only invited guests could get into it on its opening day. 11. Which is the best title for the passage? A. Disneyland: How It All Began B. Disneyland: An Overnight Success C. Disneyland: How It Developed D. Disneyland: A Park with a Long History 【文本大意】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了迪士尼乐园是如何开始的。 8.【答案】C 【解析】推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句“Disney disliked the amusement parks they often visited, seeing them as dirty, unimaginative places run by rude employees.”迪士尼不喜欢他们经常参观的游乐园，认为它们肮脏、缺乏想象力，由粗鲁的员工经营。和第三段第一句“He thought he could do better.”他认为他可以做得更好。可知，他希望创造一个更好的家庭娱乐场所，这导致沃尔特·迪士尼计划建造自己的游乐园。故选C。 9.【答案】D 【解析】词句猜测题。根据第三段划线句后“By now, his dream for a theme park had gone beyond the space available in Burbank. He searched locations throughout Southern California. A 160-acre orange garden, 22 miles south of Los Angeles, was soon selected.”到目前为止，他对主题公园的梦想已经超出了伯班克现有的空间。他搜索了整个南加州的位置。一个160英亩的在洛杉矶南部22英里的橘子园很快被选中。可知，在被拒绝后，他对游乐园进行了更好的改造。由此可知，划线句是说这次拒绝为迪士尼提供了一个重新考虑计划的有利机会。故选D。 10.【答案】C 【解析】细节理解题。根据倒第二段“After the madness of opening day, Disney and his new park were criticized in the press. The media predicted a quick and early end. But the public didn't listen. Visitors arrived in large groups, and within weeks Disneyland was a success.”在疯狂的开放日之后，迪士尼和他的新乐园受到了媒体的批评。媒体预测这场战争将很快结束。但是公众并没有听从。大批游客蜂拥而至，几周之内，迪斯尼乐园就大获成功。可知，尽管受到批评，但人们对它的热情却与日俱增。故选C。 11.【答案】A 【解析】主旨大意题。根据第二段“But Disney’s story actually started two decades earlier with what Walt Disney called “Daddy’s Day”.”但迪士尼的故事实际上开始于20年前沃尔特·迪士尼所谓的“爸爸节”。可知，文章主要是讲迪士尼乐园的开始。故选A。 D The joy of giving is real, according to a study. Research presented in the Journal (杂志) of the Association for Psychological Science shows that those who give gifts are happier—and happier for longer—than those who receive gifts. Researchers conducted two studies last year. In one，participants were given $5 every day for five days and were required to spend the money on the same thing each day. Some participants were required to spend the money on themselves, while others were required to give to make a donation to charity. In a second experiment that was done online, participants played 10 rounds of a word puzzle game and each won 5 cents per round, which they could keep or donate. In both experiments, participants reported their overall happiness. Those who donated their money showed that their happiness declined at a much slower rate than those who kept the money or spent it on themselves. The researchers note that when people focus on an outcome, they can easily compare outcomes, which may diminish their sensitivity to each experience. When people focus on an action, they may focus less on comparison and instead experience each act of giving as a unique happiness-inducing event. Further analyses ruled out some potential alternative explanations, such as the possibility that participants who gave to others had to think longer and harder about what to give, which could promote higher happiness. The results are especially interesting because according to one of the researchers, Ed O’Brien of the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, they conflict with past research. “If you want to sustain happiness over time, past research tells us that we need to take a break from what were currently consuming and experience something new. Our research reveals that the kind of thing may matter more than assumed: Repeated giving, even in identical ways to identical other，may continue to feel relatively fresh and relatively pleasurable the more we do it,” O’Brien said. So for all the holiday gifts you give this season, expect to feel happy and know that feeling is going to stick around for a while. 12. What’s the function of the first paragraph? A. To lead to the topic. B. To stress the importance of the study. C. To recommend a journal. D. To persuade people to give gifts regularly. 13. Why did the researchers do two experiments? A. To challenge the past research. B. To rule out different experimental data. C. To show the benefits of donation. D. To make the research results more believable. 14. What does the underlined word “diminish” probably mean in the fourth paragraph? A. develop. B. show. C. reduce. D. keep. 15. What’s the main finding of the new study? A. Gift giving will result in longer happiness than receiving. B. Thinking longer and harder on giving will encourage higher happiness. C. The feeling of happiness will disappear soon if people just give holiday gifts. D. Taking a break from what were now doing will help people stay happy. 【文本大意】本文是一篇说明文。本文的一项研究表明，给予礼物比接受礼物的人更快乐，快乐的时间更长，并且用实验证明了这一研究结果。 12.【答案】A 【解析】推理判断题。根据文章第一段“The joy of giving is real, according to a study. Research presented in the Journal of the Association for Psychological Science shows that those who give gifts are happier—and happier for longer—than those who receive gifts.”一项研究表明，给予的快乐是真实的。发表在《心理科学协会杂志》上的一项研究表明，那些送礼物的人比那些收礼物的人更快乐，而且更快乐的时间更长。以及下文的实验研究结果都表明送礼物的人比收礼物的人更快乐，而且更快乐的时间更长可推知，第一段的作用是引出主题。故选A。 13.【答案】D 【解析】推理判断题。根据文章第一段“In both experiments, participants reported their overall happiness. Those who donated their money showed that their happiness declined at a much slower rate than those who kept the money or spent it on themselves.”在两个实验中，参与者报告了他们的总体幸福感。那些捐了钱的人比那些把钱留着或花在自己身上的人幸福感下降的速度要慢得多。可知，这两个实验的结果也表明送礼物的人比那些收礼物的人更快乐，故推断这两个实验就是让我们对这个研究结果更信服，故选D。 14.【答案】C 【解析】词义猜测题。根据下文“When people focus on an action, they may focus less on comparison and instead experience each act of giving as a unique happiness-inducing event.”当人们关注行为时，他们可能较少关注比较，而是将每一个给予行为作为一个独特的快乐诱导事件来体验。由此可推断上文当人们关注结果的时候，他们可以很容易地比较结果，这可能会降低他们对每种经历的敏感性。由此猜测“diminish”，意为“降低”，和reduce同义，故选C。 15.【答案】A 【解析】细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“Our research reveals that the kind of thing may matter more than assumed: Repeated giving, even in identical ways to identical other, may continue to feel relatively fresh and relatively pleasurable the more we do it”我们的研究表明，这类事情可能比我们想象的更重要：不断给予，甚至以相同的方式给予相同的人，我们做得越多，可能会持续感到相对新鲜和相对愉悦。可知，新研究的结论就是给予礼物比接受礼物的人更快乐，故选A。 第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，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。 If you are like most international students, you are probably pretty comfortable reading and writing in English. _ 1 Below are some tips to help you to improve your conversational skills.

It has a bad impact on improving your spoken English. B. You are likely to make great progress in this way. C. If possible, become a teacher at your school. D.

Instead, it requires joint efforts from all fields of society. 1.【答案】known 【解析】这里考查非谓语动词。“be known as”是固定短语，表示“作为…而闻名”，句子中已经有谓语动词“is believed”，所以这里用过去分词“known”作状语，表被动和状态。故填known。 2.【答案】organisations 【解析】根据“one of the largest non-profit environmental protection”可知，这里应填名词复数形式。“organize”的名词形式是“organization”，表示“组织”，这里指环保组织。故填organisations。 3.【答案】more awkward 【解析】由“than”可知，此处要用形容词“awkward”的比较级。“awkward”是多音节词，其比较级形式是“more awkward”，表示比之前认为的更糟糕。故填more awkward。 4.【答案】us 【解析】“provide sb. with sth.”或“provide sth. for sb.”为固定搭配，意为为某人提供某物。这里“provide”后接双宾语，根据语境，是为“我们”提供机会，所以用宾格us。故填 us。 5.【答案】and 【解析】raise public awareness...和teach the public...是并列关系，需要一个连词连接，and可表并列，符合语境。故填and。 6.【答案】To stop 【解析】这里考查目的状语。句意是为了阻止中国物种的进一步消失，人们必须采取行动。用不定式“to stop”作目的状语，表“为了”。故填To stop。 7.【答案】immediately 【解析】这里需要一个副词来修饰动词“act”，“immediate”的副词形式是“immediately”，意为“立即，马上”。故填immediately。 8.【答案】be lifted 【解析】“threats（威胁）”和“lift（消除）”之间是被动关系，表示威胁被消除，且“must”后接动词原形，所以用“be lifted”。故填be lifted。 9.【答案】that 【解析】这里考查定语从句。先行词是methods，在从句“will slow the speed of their disappearance”中作主语，所以用关系代词“that”引导定语从句。故填that。 10.【答案】That 【解析】这里需要一个主语来指代上文提到的保护长江流域物种这件事，用“That”作主语，首字母大写。故填That。 第三部分 写作（共三节，满分30分） 第一节 单词拼写（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分） 用所给词的正确形式填空，每个单词使用一次，每个空只填一个词。 admire calm compete destroy impress positive schedule sign strike unique In a small town, there was a 1 event that brought everyone together every year—a sports festival which everyone can 2 up for in the local community.

In school, as a teenager, I tried to channel Whitney Houston. In the working world, I paid close attention to our female senior managers. By watching and imitating others—especially women of color who looked or sounded like me—I gained confidence in my own abilities. But when I started my own company, my pool of role models became smaller. Only 2.1% of risk investment (投资) goes to women-founded companies. “Who can I look up to?” I wondered. “Who can I learn from?” I decided to create an inspiration wall in my office, with photos of the role models I could see—women like Oprah, Michelle Obama, and Vicky, co-founder of a skincare brand. I never thought I’d meet these women, but their success gave me hope. Then one day, a couple of years ago, I surprised myself with a thought: what if I did reach out to one of my role models? I feared rejection, but my desire for connection was stronger. I chose Vicky, whose journey had long inspired me. I didn’t have her email address. So I tried a cold Instagram message, and she responded the next day! That was in 2022. We’ve spoken numerous times since, and the conversations have been invaluable. They’re rare chances to gain guidance from a successful woman. But here’s the most valuable lesson I gained: when Vicky first replied to me, I wasn’t the only one excited. Vicky was excited too—because she’s always looking for ways to support other women. All my life, I’d thought of role models as a one-way relationship: I’d gain strength from someone stronger. But the situation is more than that. I once sent Vicky a care package from my sunglasses company. She wrote me a thank-you note, and texted a selfie of her and her daughter wearing my products. Today, I keep that letter on my desk next to my keyboard—a reminder that just as I believe in her, she believes in me. We’re all here to help each other grow. 4.

Honest and responsible. D. Talented and skilled. 7. What can we learn from the story? A. Practice Makes Perfect. B. Strength is a Two-way Street. C. A Good Beginning Is Half Done. D. Actions Speak Louder Than Words. C Disneyland’s opening day, July 17, 1955, was a terrible experience. Rides broke down. Restaurants ran out of food and drink and drinking fountains were in short supply... All in front of a national audience of 90 million, then the largest live broadcast in television history on a day that would be known in Disney history as Black Sunday. But Disney’s story actually started two decades earlier with what Walt Disney called “Daddy’s Day”. On Saturdays in the 1930s and 1940s, Disney would take his two daughters to ride the Griffith Park merry-go-round, which they’d enjoy while he sat on a bench dreaming of ways for families to have fun together. Disney disliked the amusement parks they often visited, seeing them as dirty, unimaginative places run by rude employees. He thought he could do better. In 1939 he asked two animators (动画片制作者) at his movie studio to work on a plan for an amusement park. By 1952 the idea had expanded into a $1.5 million amusement park proposal that he presented to Burbank. The City Council, which feared such a project would create a carnival (嘉年华) atmosphere, rejected the proposal. Disney counted the rejection as fortunate setback. By now, his dream for a theme park had gone beyond the space available in Burbank. He searched locations throughout Southern California. A 160-acre orange garden, 22 miles south of Los Angeles, was soon selected. The ABC television network offered $5 million in loans and investments if Disney agreed to produce and host a one-hour weekly show called "Disneyland". The deal amounted to months of free advertising for the park and allowed Disney to introduce TV audiences, particularly kids, to the park. Disneyland opened then. The 5,000 expected guests increased to 28, 154, thanks to fake tickets. After the madness of opening day, Disney and his new park were criticized in the press. The media predicted a quick and early end. But the public didn’t listen. Visitors arrived in large groups, and within weeks Disneyland was a success. Over sixty years later, Disneyland’s popularity continues to grow, with total overall attendance topping 700 million and showing no signs of slowing down. 8. What mainly led to Walt Disney’s plan to build his own amusement park? A. His ambition to expand beyond the movie industry. B. His animators’ suggestion on an entertainment plan. C. His wish to create a better place for family recreation. D. His daughters’ unpleasant experience in the Griffith Park. 9. By “Disney counted the rejection as a fortunate setback” in paragraph 3, the author means the rejection . A. brought good luck to Disney and his park B. let to the difficulty of opening the park C. was viewed as an economic challenge of the design of the park D. provided Disney with a good chance to rethink his plan 10．What can be learned about Disneyland from the passage? A. Everything went on smoothly before it opened. B. It spent $5 million on advertising for its opening. C. People’s love for it increasing since its opening. D. Only invited guests could get into it on its opening day. 11. Which is the best title for the passage? A. Disneyland: How It All Began B. Disneyland: An Overnight Success C. Disneyland: How It Developed D. Disneyland: A Park with a Long History D The joy of giving is real, according to a study. Research presented in the Journal (杂志) of the Association for Psychological Science shows that those who give gifts are happier—and happier for longer—than those who receive gifts. Researchers conducted two studies last year. In one，participants were given $5 every day for five days and were required to spend the money on the same thing each day. Some participants were required to spend the money on themselves, while others were required to give to make a donation to charity. In a second experiment that was done online, participants played 10 rounds of a word puzzle game and each won 5 cents per round, which they could keep or donate. In both experiments, participants reported their overall happiness. Those who donated their money showed that their happiness declined at a much slower rate than those who kept the money or spent it on themselves. The researchers note that when people focus on an outcome, they can easily compare outcomes, which may diminish their sensitivity to each experience. When people focus on an action, they may focus less on comparison and instead experience each act of giving as a unique happiness-inducing event. Further analyses ruled out some potential alternative explanations, such as the possibility that participants who gave to others had to think longer and harder about what to give, which could promote higher happiness. The results are especially interesting because according to one of the researchers, Ed O’Brien of the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, they conflict with past research. “If you want to sustain happiness over time, past research tells us that we need to take a break from what were currently consuming and experience something new. Our research reveals that the kind of thing may matter more than assumed: Repeated giving, even in identical ways to identical other，may continue to feel relatively fresh and relatively pleasurable the more we do it,” O’Brien said. So for all the holiday gifts you give this season, expect to feel happy and know that feeling is going to stick around for a while. 12. What’s the function of the first paragraph? A. To lead to the topic. B. To stress the importance of the study. C. To recommend a journal. D. To persuade people to give gifts regularly. 13. Why did the researchers do two experiments? A. To challenge the past research. B. To rule out different experimental data. C. To show the benefits of donation. D. To make the research results more believable. 14. What does the underlined word “diminish” probably mean in the fourth paragraph? A. develop. B. show. C. reduce. D. keep. 15. What’s the main finding of the new study? A. Gift giving will result in longer happiness than receiving. B. Thinking longer and harder on giving will encourage higher happiness. C. The feeling of happiness will disappear soon if people just give holiday gifts. D. Taking a break from what were now doing will help people stay happy. 第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，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。 If you are like most international students, you are probably pretty comfortable reading and writing in English. _ 1 Below are some tips to help you to improve your conversational skills. Make friends with American students. Many international students end up making friends with a lot of, or only other international students instead of native speakers. 2 In fact, hanging out with natives not only naturally pushes you to improve your spoken English, but also helps you pick up cultural and social information. Learn from American friends. Tell your American friends that you are trying to improve your listening and speaking skills, and would like them to help you. If you pronounce a word incorrectly, or misuse an idiom, you ask them to guide you. 3 Increase your knowledge. 4 If you have been exposed to topics that are likely to be discussed in conversation, you have a much better chance of understanding people when they talk, and of being able to express yourself well. 5 If you have to explain something to someone, you are eager to pronounce everything as well as you can to explain yourself. Finally, this becomes a good habit. Many people have asked me how I learned to speak English fluently, and I owe most of it to my years of being a math teacher in college for years. A. It has a bad impact on improving your spoken English. B. You are likely to make great progress in this way. C. If possible, become a teacher at your school. D. It’s a win-win opportunity for international students. E. Keep up with the latest news and watch popular shows and movies. F. Explaining everything in a different way counts. G. You may have trouble in listening and speaking in the language, however. 第二部分 语言运用（共两节，满分37.5分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1.5分，满分22.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Zigfried, a little mouse, blew his breath on the frosty window of the farmhouse and rubbed it to see the outside.
