To welcome the New Year, Chinese families drive away bad luck by spring-cleaning, and welcome good fortune with red and gold decorations and brand new clothes. Throughout the 14 days of festivities, families visit friends and relatives to eat dinner (steamboat is a popular choice), exchange oranges and give kids red packets (hongbao). Celebrations not to be missed include the Chingay Parade and the International Lion Dance Competition. Festival date: 10 February, 2024 Hari Raya Puasa At the end of the fasting month of Ramadan Muslim families celebrate by wearing eye-catching new baju kurungs (traditional Malay clothing) and visiting their families for a huge home-cooked dinner.

The countless stands there sell all kinds of sweet and tasty snacks, ethnic clothes, jewellery and more. Festival date: 10 April, 2024 Hari Raya Haji This festival of sacrifice (祭祀) is celebrated exactly how it sounds.

The meat is then carved up and given out to the family and friends of the person who offered the animal, with a third of it traditionally distributed to the needy. Festival date: 17 June, 2024 National Day Each August, Singapore celebrates its independence, and the Float at Marina Bay hosts a grand National Day Parade.

She rarely looked at them; often, she didn’t even develop the negatives. Without any formal training, she created a body of work that demonstrated a wholly original way of looking at the world. Today, she is considered one of the best street photographers of the 20th century. Maier’s photos provide audiences with a peek (偷看) behind the curtain into a remarkable mind. But she never intended to have an audience. A babysitter by trade, she rarely showed anyone her prints. In her final years, she stored five decades of work in storage lockers to avoid damage. Their contents went to auction (拍卖) in 2007. Many of Maier’s photos ended up with amateur historian John Maloof, who purchased 30, 000 negatives for about $400. In the years that followed, he sought out other collectors who had purchased boxes from the same lockers. He didn’t learn the photographer’s identity until 2009, when he found her name signed on an envelope among the negatives. A quick Google search revealed that Maier had died just a few days earlier. Uncertain of how to proceed, Maloof started posting her images online. “I guess my question is, what do I do with this stuff?” he wrote in a post. “Is this type of work worthy of exhibitions or a book? Any direction would be great.” Maier quickly became a hit. Everyone wanted to know about the babysitter who had so skillfully shot 20th-century America. Her life and work have since been the subject of a bestselling book, a documentary and exhibitions around the world. Now, the self-taught photographer is headlining her first major American show “Vivian Maier: Unseen Work”, which is currently on view at Fotografiska New York. The show is also described as the first museum exhibition in Maier’s hometown, the city where she developed her interest in photography. 24. Why did Maier’s photographs end up in storage lockers? A. To sell them later for a high price. B. To display them at a proper time. C. To keep them in good condition. D. To protect them against theft. 25. How did John Maloof initially feel about the photographs he had acquired? A. He had no interest in them. B. He was certain they were valuable. C. He was disappointed with the purchase. D. He was unsure of their worth and sought advice. 26. What can we get from Maier’s story? A. Interest is the best teacher. B. Every cloud has a silver lining. C. Love whatever job one takes up. D. Where there is a will, there is a way. 27. What’s the best title for the text? A. The Unseen Work of a Babysitter B. A Century of Street Photography C. The Auction of Forgotten Photographs D. A Best Self-Taught Street Photographer C While millions of Americans vacation on beaches every year to seek out the sun, sand and the sea, many might not realize how dangerous digging holes in the sand can be. In February, a 7-year-old girl died after an about five-foot hole she and her brother had dug in the sand on a Florida beach collapsed in on her, burying her alive. As a coastal science researcher who’s been studying beaches for many years, I was called in to help investigate the girl’s death. Many people tried to help free her, but the sand hole continued to collapse as they dug, and more sand poured in. Firefighters didn’t arrive until several minutes after the incident - too late to resuscitate the victim. Digging holes in sand might seem innocent, but if the hole is deep enough and collapses on a person, it is extremely difficult to escape. In fact, some research suggests more people die of sand burial suffocation (窒息) than shark attacks. Collapsed sand holes led to 31 deaths, mostly children and 87 percent male, from 1997 to 2007 in the United States. During that period, 21 others were in a reported sand hole collapse but survived, many requiring CPR. When the sand forming the hole either dries out or someone stands near the edge of the hole adding extra weight, the sand hole collapses in, and the heavy grains fill all open spaces in the hole. This leaves no air available for a trapped person to breathe. While skiers trapped in avalanches (雪崩) can cup their hands to form an air pocket because snow is light, that’s not the case when sand collapses. Rescuing someone from a collapsed sand hole is very difficult because sand is both heavy and unstable. As rescuers scoop away sand to free the victim, the hole will continue to collapse under the rescuers’ weight and be refilled with sand. According to some research, rescuers have only about three to five minutes to save a person who is trapped in a sand hole before they suffocate. 28 What happened to the 7-year-old girl in the sand hole incident in Florida? A. She was trapped in sand and killed. B. She got lost in the sand hole. C. She was saved immediately. D. She was bitten by a shark. 29. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “resuscitate” in paragraph 3? A. Bury. B. Rescue. C. Blame. D. Identify. 30. Why is it difficult for a person trapped in a collapsed sand hole to escape? A. The rescuers arrive too late. B. The sand is too wet to move. C. The hole becomes completely airtight. D. The trapped person loses his senses quickly. 31. What is the main idea of the text? A. The importance of learning CPR. B. The dangers of shark attacks on beaches. C. The difficulties of rescuing people from beaches. D. The risks of digging deep holes in sand on beaches. D “Blue Monday” falls every year on the third Monday in January. It is, supposedly, the most depressing day of the year. But is it actually the saddest day of the year? The short answer is “no”. The term “Blue Monday” was first coined in 2004 by Cliff Arnall, a psychologist and motivational speaker, after he was approached by now-defunct (倒闭) British travel firm Sky Travel to come up with a method of determining the year’s most depressing day. Blue Monday subsequently became the centerpiece of a Sky Travel advertising campaign design designed to encourage holiday bookings that would, the company suggested, reduce some of Blue Monday’s pain. However, Arnall’s calculation has been rejected by the scientific and academic community. “The winter blues are a natural response to the Christmas break and festivities ending, but pathologizing (病态化) such normal feelings into some form of ‘acute depression’ like Blue Monday is wrong, ” said Craig Jackson, a professor of occupational health psychology at Birmingham City University in England. “There is no credible research evidence to show that Blue Monday is more depressing than any other day, ” he said. “Markers of public health, such as death rate, sickness absence and even estimates of suicidal (自杀性的) deaths or attempts show no increase on or around the third Monday of January each year compared with other days in January,” Jackson said. Jackson pointed out that winter can make people feel more depressed and anxious. Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) , sometimes referred to as “winter depression”, is a phenomenon that affects 1% to 10% people, depending on the survey, according to a 2015review in the journal The Physician and Sports medicine. “Put simply, SAD is a form of depression, with symptoms ranging from mild to major, occurring mostly during winter months; that can be caused or worsened by a lack of natural daylight as well as social reasons such as reduced activity and leisure time due to shorter and colder days, ” Jackson said. “However, there is no link between SAD sufferers and Blue Monday. ” 32. Why was the term “Blue Monday” coined? A. To save a company. B. To describe a phenomenon. C. To attract people’s attention. D. To promote holiday bookings. 33. What is Craig Jackson’s attitude to “Blue Monday”? A. Positive. B. Questioning. C. Curious. D. Tolerant. 34. What’s the function of paragraph 4? A. To provide supporting evidence. B. To give a detailed definition. C. To raise a reasonable doubt. D. To present a known fact. 35. What can we know from the last two paragraphs? A. SAD sufferers are more likely to commit suicide. B. There is solid evidence to support “Blue Monday” C. The winter months may cause depression and anxiety. D. “Blue Monday” is the most depressing day of the year. 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Here are four simple ways to find social support as an educational professional. ___36___ .

Vicky’s first child, a beautiful baby boy named Lucas, was just a month old when he was struck by a terrible ear infection. The pain was so intense that it robbed him of his usual cheerful mood, replacing it with a constant cry that pierced (穿透) through the night. Vicky was very anxious and did everything she could to comfort her little one, but nothing seemed to lessen his suffering. Desperate for help, Vicky rushed Lucas to the emergency room. The waiting area was crowded, filled with the sounds of anxiety and the weak noise of medical equipment. She held Lucas close, rocking him gently, trying to calm him as the minutes passed by. Finally, a doctor saw them. After a quick examination, he prescribed medication (开药) that promised relief. But as Vicky approached the counter, she was met with a hard reality: the medication cost $129! It was a sum she could not afford, not with the mounting bills and the new responsibilities that motherhood had brought. Tears welled up in her eyes as she prepared to call her mother, hoping for a lifeline. But just as she was about to dial, a gentle hand touched her shoulder. Turning around, she saw an older woman with a kind smile and eyes that spoke of a lifetime of wisdom. The woman handed Vicky a small bag and said softly, “The ear drops are paid for.” Vicky was surprised, touched by the unexpected generosity. “But ... why?” she managed to ask. The woman’s smile only grew warmer. “Because someone once did the same for me” she replied. “All I ask is that you pay it forward when you can.” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Vicky thanked the older woman sincerely, her voice choked with emotion. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As they left the hospital, Vicky felt a weight lifted from her shoulders. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$这是2025年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试模拟试题衡水金卷先享题调研卷英语试题。2、听力部分，该部分分为第一第二两节。注意回答听力部分时，请先将答案标在试卷上。听力部分结束前，你将有两分钟的时间将你的答案转涂到客观题答题卡上。请看听力部分第一节，第一节听下面5段对话，每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。Text one, mike, what's wrong with you?

Certainly, our humor helps ease the stress of crowds of busy Young people. So why did you join the club in the first place? I loved comedy and hoped i'd become a comedian in the future. I knew I couldn't become one without gaining experience. Yeah, you do need experience and advice from others. Oh, you have a notebook with you. Why do you Carry IT? This snowball is a gift of the active members in the club. Now I take down my ideas in IT. As soon as I have one, you know, we have to prepare all the materials ourselves. 听下面一段独白，回答第18至第23个小题。现在你有15秒钟的时间阅读这三个小题。Text ten, when people learn new things, I think this is really important to be patient. One example of this is when I was learning to paint, I was very small. So of course, the paint got everywhere. But instead of getting angry, everybody was patient with me, and after some time I was able to paint properly. I feel that this is a really important lesson when trying to learn another language. However, IT is usually difficult, because IT is often impossible for people to practice continuously and see the improvement. This is why some language websites can be really useful for adding the learners in the language learning process. These websites focus on the principle of taking baby steps. IT is much Better to learn something slowly but properly, and then move at a pace which is appropriate for the individual learner. IT is also the principle I try to observe and follow in my own teaching, and IT is my hope that my students could benefit from a method which allows them to grow and learn at their own pace.
