Here are some of these famous spots that are essential to understand the city’s complicated past.

B John loved fairytales as a child and went on to study English literature at Oxford University. There, he joined a literary club with friends who shared his passion. However, World War I changed everything for him and his friends. During the Battle of the Somme, his unit suffered heavy losses, but John was sent home because he had trench fever, which saved his life. By the end of the war, many of his literary friends had not survived. After the war, John became a professor at Oxford. Despite his academic responsibilities, he had a strong desire to write his own fiction. Inspired by fairytales, he began creating a grand mythology for England. However, when he tried to publish this extensive work, publishers rejected it, finding it too long and complicated. In addition to his mythology, John entertained his children with bedtime stories, often making them up on the spot. One day, he wrote, "In a hole in the ground there lived a Hobbit." This simple line led to the creation of The Hobbit, a children's book that became very popular and made John Ronald Reuel Tolkien a well-known author. Despite the success of The Hobbit Tolkien never gave up on his grand mythology, which he named The Silmarillion. Unfortunately, even as a best-selling author, he faced continued rejection from publishers who were more interested in a sequel to The Hobbit than in his complex mythology. Nonetheless, Tolkien stayed committed to his imaginative world, showing his strong dedication to his creative vision. 24. What do we know about John's experience in World War Ⅰ? A. He was saved by a member of his literary club. B. He returned to the battlefield to realize his ambition. C. He survived the most intense fighting in the Somme. D. He was relieved from the front line early due to his illness. 25. What influenced John's desire to write his own fiction? A. His academic qualification. B. His love for fairytales. C. His role as a professor. D. His membership in a literary club. 26. Why did John write The Hobbit? A. To change his writing style. B. To amuse his children. C. To satisfy the market. D. To shoulder his responsibilities. 27. Why did John keep working on his mythology despite rejections? A. To follow his dream. B. To gain popularity. C. To prove publishers wrong. D. To express his creativity. C The United Kingdom is hosting the AI Safety Summit bringing politicians, computer scientists and big AI company leaders to a site chosen for its symbolism: Bletchley Park, the birthplace of computing and code-breaking (密码破译). During World War II, a group of mathematicians, chess masters and other experts gathered at the Victorian country house 72 kilometers northwest of London to start a secret war against Nazi Germany. Their goal was to break a set of constantly changing codes produced by Nazi Germany’s Enigma machine. To do it, Bletchley Park’s wartime scientists — building on work done by Polish code-breakers — developed Colossus, the first programmable digital computer. Some historians say cracking the code helped shorten the war by up to two years. “It has oversimplified its true contribution by describing Bletchley Park as a playground for Turing and other scientists.” said historian Chris Smith, author of The Hidden History of Bletchley Park. “Although it fits into the romantic idea that a group of smart men with a bit of wool and some yards of wire can win the war. In fact, almost 10,000 people worked at Bletchley Park during the war. Three quarters of them were women. It’s basically a factory... Twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. When peace came, the code-breakers returned to civilian life and promised to keep secret about their wartime work. It was not until the 1970s that the work at Bletchley Park became widely known in Britain.” In 1994, the site opened as a museum, after local historians banded together to prevent it from being pulled down to build a supermarket. It was restored to its 1940s appearance, complete with old typewriters, phones and cups—including the one tied to a heater in Hut 8, where Turing led the Enigma team. 28. What can we learn about Colossus? A. It was invented by Nazi Germany. B. It was designed to send secret messages. C. Polish code-breakers also made a contribution to it. D. The project’s goal was to produce the first computer. 29. What did Chris Smith most probably imply? A. Women’s hard work was overlooked. B. The secret should not be kept for so long. C. The computer ought to be more powerful. D. It is silly to say the machine shortened the war. 30. Why is the cup mentioned in the last paragraph? A. To highlight the government’s support. B. To show the perfect restoration of the site. C. To stress Turing’s important role in the project. D. To tell the difficulty in collecting the lost items. 31. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To advocate women’s equal rights with men. B. To advertise a newly restored computer museum. C. To show the significance of an important meeting. D. To add some background to the AI safety meeting. D Here’s a quick quiz. Person A does a favor for you. Person B asks you to do a favor for him. Who do you tend to like more? Surprisingly, the answer is Person B. This quirk (怪癖) of human nature is known as the Ben Franklin Effect. Benjamin Franklin came across the phenomenon in 1736 when serving as a clerk to the Pennsylvania Assembly. A powerful member didn’t care for Franklin and threatened to make life miserable for him. What to do? Instead of winning him over with sweet talk, Franklin asked if he could borrow a rare and valuable book the man owned. This request altered the man’s attitude and paved the way for their friendship. Franklin’s takeaway: “He that has once done you a kindness will be ready to do you another, than he whom you yourself have obliged.” Several studies have confirmed this. But how can we explain the Ben Franklin Effect? Some psychologists refer to cognitive dissonance (失调). It’s difficult to hold two contradictory thoughts at the same time. It makes us uncomfortable. We resolve this tension by changing our mind. “I don’t like Joe but I am doing him a favor,” we might think. “So maybe I do like him.” While cognitive dissonance explains a lot, it alone doesn’t explain the Ben Franklin Effect. One 2015 study found that it was, rather, the affiliative (亲和的) motive that the requests convey. That is, we humans want to maintain good relations with other humans, and one way to achieve this is by doing favors for others. This explains a lot about altruistic behavior. We like being useful and, by extension, we like those who give us the opportunity to do so. It’s in our genes. Yet there is much we still don’t know about the Ben Franklin Effect. Does it apply equally across cultures? Is there a point beyond which asking a favor makes you less, not more likable? Asking to borrow a book is one thing; asking to borrow a car is another. 32. Why does the author mention Benjamin Franklin’s experience? A. To illustrate a dilemma in making choices. B. To suggest a way of striking up friendships. C. To stress the importance of strategic requests. D. To introduce the origin of the Ben Franklin Effect. 33. What is a reason for people’s tendency to like those asking for favors? A. Reducing the tension caused by social contact. B. Increasing the chance of getting help in return. C. Avoiding the discomfort from conflicting thoughts. D. Establishing a cooperative community of shared trust. 34 What does the underlined word “altruistic” probably mean in paragraph 4? A. Selfless. B. Impolite. C. Aggressive. D. Responsible. 35. What does the author think of the Ben Franklin Effect? A. It makes little sense. B. It applies to most cultures. C. It has situational limitations. D. It has great practical significance. 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。 The Hardest Novel I’ve Ever Read For the last three months, I have glared at its fat heavy form on my floor with a vague sense of personal failure. I have opened Ulysses twice, determined to finish it, and managed to get all the way to page 46. ____36____ ____37____ I like the community this book has created, its inherent sense of freedom and celebration of all things rude and true. I like that the style and language allow for readers to choose how they read it — some recommend skipping chapter three, others suggest reading it only after reading ABOUT it but I still get stuck. Why do I get stuck? ____38____ On the “Most Difficult Novels” list on the Goodreads website, Joyce takes the top two spots, with Ulysses ranking first and Finnegans Wake following it. I think what is restricting me to page 46 is the language: the big fat burst of Chaucerian English with slang and jaunty dialogue that, while entertaining me, is also leaving me a little lost. There are a few other “worthy” works of literature I have yet to read, including Infinite Jest and War and Peace. ____39____ I really want to love Ulysses. I feel deeply frustrated that I can’t finish it, all the while appreciating its uniqueness, weightiness and special “Joyceness.” The English writer Virginia Woolf thought Ulysses was nonsense as she complained in her diaries about the pressure to finish reading it. By contrast, Vladimir Nabokov, the author who wrote Lolita expressed deep love for it. ____40____ I have read it similar to a long marriage (something unpleasant, big reward at the end), modern Jazz-fusion (an innovative genre) and boxing match with oneself (wanting to punch yourself in the face), which is how I felt by page 46. Some people love Ulysses, so where am I getting wrong? My ultimate hope is that the struggle will be worth the effort and I can proceed victorious onto page 800 or so, on my third fourth, eighteenth try. Something tells me I will get there in the end. A. I’m not entirely sure myself. B. A lot of them are weighty tomes (巨著), but I like big books. C. I have read so little both times that I have never bothered using a bookmark. D. It seems that reading Ulysses is a big different experience for everyone. E. Even when staring at pages without absorbing a word, I thought nice thoughts about it. F. They, however, only cause me a slight sense of shame that I have not read or enjoyed them. G. I have been amused and charmed by the first two or three chapters, and then puzzled and bored. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30 分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 About five years ago I walked into a local climbing gym.

My initial motive was simple: I needed to fulfill community service hours required for graduation. However, what started as a mere obligation soon turned into a journey of meaningful personal growth and understanding. Upon my first visit to the shelter, I was immediately struck by the number of animals in need and the obvious sense of urgency among the staff and volunteers. Dogs barked eagerly from their cages, while cats paced restlessly. The shelter manager, Mrs Clark, a veteran in animal rescue, guided me through the orientation process. She detailed the daily tasks which included feeding the animals, cleaning their living spaces, and, most importantly, spending time socializing with them. It was clear from the beginning that this work would demand more than just my time; it required compassion and dedication. As weeks turned into months, my connection with the animals deepened. I learned to recognize their unique personalities and needs. Some were shy and withdrawn, needing much more time to engage, while others were excited and playful from the start. The more time I spent at the shelter, the more I realized how each interaction with an animal was a chance to provide them with a sense of security and love — a small comfort in their uncertain world. The responsibilities I held at the shelter also grew with time. Mrs Clark trusted me with more complex tasks such as administering medication and assisting in the adoption process. This trust not only boosted my confidence but also showed the importance of my role in these animals’ lives. The gratitude I saw in both the animals’ and adopters’ eyes was rewarding. 注意: (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 As my senior year began, I took on even greater responsibilities at the shelter. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Reflecting on my time at the shelter, I realize how much I have grown, not just in skills but also in spirit. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 衡阳县四中2024-2025学年下学期高二第一次月考卷 英语 注意事项： 1．答题前，先将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在试题卷和答题卡上，并将准考证号条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2．选择题的作答：每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑，写在试题卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 3．非选择题的作答：用签字笔直接答在答题卡上对应的答题区域内。写在试题卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 4．考试结束后，请将本试题卷和答题卡一并上交。 第Ⅰ卷（选择题） 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What are the speakers doing?

B 【解析】 【原文】 Today on the food program, I’m going to tell you about two interesting websites which give you information about two very important foods — rice and noodles. First of all, let’s look at the Pagewise website. This site will tell you about the history of rice, the different types of rice and how to cook it. For example, European and American rice is grown in dry fields. But it absorbs more water than Asian rice, which is grown in flooded fields. Nowadays, more than 550 million tonnes is produced around the world each year, 92% of that being produced in Asia. Now, moving on to the Yokohama Noodle Museum site. The museum stays open later than most museums — from 11:00 am to 11:00 pm, with the last admission being 10:00 pm. The museum is open every day except for Tuesday, with Sunday being the busiest day and Thursday being the least busy. The first floor of the museum has a souvenir shop. It sells bowls for eating noodles out of, equipment for making noodles — even curtains with pictures of noodles on them! You can see a display showing how noodles are made. On B1F and B2F, there are different noodle shops, which take orders until 30 minutes before closing time. 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分 50分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Historic Sites in Paris Paris is a city full of sites of different times and architectural styles. Here are some of these famous spots that are essential to understand the city’s complicated past. Eiffel Tower Presented as part of the 1889 World Exposition in Paris, the Eiffel Tower has become the city’s most famous attraction. It is accessible on Line 6 or Line 8 of the Paris Metro by Bir-Hakeim or Trocadéro stations. If possible, avoid visiting this spot at peak hours (10:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.) or on weekends, so you can make the most of your visit to enjoy the views from the top. The best moments are right after it first opens on weekdays. Notre-Dame Cathedral Dating back to the 12th century, the Notre-Dame Cathedral has long towered alongside the banks of the Seine River. With its complicated Gothic (哥特式的) architectural details, it represents Parisian religion and architecture. Unfortunately, a fire broke out on April 15, 2019, destroying part of it. Visitors are not allowed to enter now. Louvre Museum Louvre Museum is one of the most famous art museums in the world where you can witness the city’s rich painting history from the medieval (中世纪的) period to the present. It is easily accessible on Line 1 from the Palais Royal-Musée du Louvre station. It is closed on Tuesdays as well as January 1, May 1, and December 25 each year. Arc de Triomphe The Arc de Triomphe serves as a national symbol of France, which was built by Napoleon I in celebration of the victory at the Battle of Austerlitz. Take Line 1, 2, or 6 to Charles de Gaulle-Etoile station and you will see the Arc de Triomphe. Visitors can purchase tickets for a tour to the top to enjoy the views of the city. 21. Which is the best time to visit Eiffel Tower? A. At 2:00 p.m., Sunday. B. At 9:00 a.m., Monday. C. At 11:00 a.m., Tuesday. D. At 10:00 a.m., Saturday. 22. Where should visitors go if they are interested in art history? A. Eiffel Tower. B. Louvre Museum. C. Arc de Triomphe. D. Notre-Dame Cathedral. 23. What can be inferred from the listed attractions? A. They require tickets for a tour. B. They are easily accessible by subway. C. They allow visitors to enter on holidays. D. They are spots to show the history of Paris. 【答案】21. B 22. B 23. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍了巴黎四个不同时期和建筑风格迥异的历史遗迹。 【21题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段第三句“If possible, avoid visiting this spot at peak hours (10:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.) or on weekends, so you can make the most of your visit to enjoy the views from the top. The best moments are right after it first opens on weekdays.(如果可能的话，避免在高峰时间(上午10点至下午5点)或周末参观这个地方，这样你就可以充分利用你的参观来欣赏顶部的景色。最好的时刻是在工作日刚开门的时候。)”可知，应避免在高峰期和周末参观Eiffel Tower，且最好的参观时间是在它刚开门的时候，因此“周一上午九点”是最好的游览时间。故选B。 22题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段第一句“Louvre Museum is one of the most famous art museums in the world where you can witness the city’s rich painting history from the medieval (中世纪的) period to the present. (卢浮宫博物馆是世界上最著名的艺术博物馆之一，在这里你可以见证这座城市从中世纪到现在丰富的绘画历史。)”可知，卢浮宫博物馆是了解从中世纪开始到现在的绘画历史的地方。故选B。 23题详解】 细节理解题。通读全文，尤其根据第一段末句“Here are some of these famous spots that are essential to understand the city’s complicated past. (这里有一些著名景点，对于了解这座城市复杂的过去是必不可少的。)”可知，本文展示了关于巴黎历史的一些景点。故选D。 B John loved fairytales as a child and went on to study English literature at Oxford University. There, he joined a literary club with friends who shared his passion. However, World War I changed everything for him and his friends. During the Battle of the Somme, his unit suffered heavy losses, but John was sent home because he had trench fever, which saved his life. By the end of the war, many of his literary friends had not survived. After the war, John became a professor at Oxford. Despite his academic responsibilities, he had a strong desire to write his own fiction. Inspired by fairytales, he began creating a grand mythology for England. However, when he tried to publish this extensive work, publishers rejected it, finding it too long and complicated. In addition to his mythology, John entertained his children with bedtime stories, often making them up on the spot. One day, he wrote, "In a hole in the ground there lived a Hobbit." This simple line led to the creation of The Hobbit, a children's book that became very popular and made John Ronald Reuel Tolkien a well-known author. Despite the success of The Hobbit, Tolkien never gave up on his grand mythology, which he named The Silmarillion. Unfortunately, even as a best-selling author, he faced continued rejection from publishers who were more interested in a sequel to The Hobbit than in his complex mythology. Nonetheless, Tolkien stayed committed to his imaginative world, showing his strong dedication to his creative vision. 24. What do we know about John's experience in World War Ⅰ? A. He was saved by a member of his literary club. B. He returned to the battlefield to realize his ambition. C. He survived the most intense fighting in the Somme. D. He was relieved from the front line early due to his illness. 25. What influenced John's desire to write his own fiction? A. His academic qualification. B. His love for fairytales. C. His role as a professor. D. His membership in a literary club. 26. Why did John write The Hobbit? A. To change his writing style. B. To amuse his children. C. To satisfy the market. D. To shoulder his responsibilities. 27. Why did John keep working on his mythology despite rejections? A. To follow his dream. B. To gain popularity. C. To prove publishers wrong. D. To express his creativity. 【答案】24. D 25. B 26. B 27. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了约翰·罗纳德·鲁埃尔·托尔金经历一战后，受童话故事的启发，开始为英国创造一个宏大的神话故事，尽管他的神话受到了出版商的拒绝，但他仍然坚持他对想象世界的强烈奉献。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“During the Battle of the Somme, his unit suffered heavy losses, but John was sent home because he had trench fever, which saved his life.(在索姆河战役中，他的部队损失惨重，但约翰因患战壕热而被送回家，这救了他的命。)”可知，我们对约翰在第一次世界大战中的经历了解到的是由于生病，他被提前从前线调离。故选D项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“After the war, John became a professor at Oxford. Despite his academic responsibilities, he had a strong desire to write his own fiction. Inspired by fairytales, he began creating a grand mythology for England.(战后，约翰成为牛津大学的教授。尽管他有学术责任，但他有强烈的愿望写自己的小说。受到童话故事的启发，他开始为英国创造一个宏大的神话。)”可知，是他对童话的热爱影响了约翰写自己小说的愿望。故选B项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“In addition to his mythology, John entertained his children with bedtime stories, often making them up on the spot. One day, he wrote, "In a hole in the ground there lived a Hobbit." This simple line led to the creation of  The Hobbit, a children's book that became very popular and made John Ronald Reuel Tolkien a well-known author.(除了他的神话故事，约翰还用睡前故事来娱乐他的孩子们，经常当场编故事。有一天，他写道:“在地下的一个洞里住着一个霍比特人。”这句简单的台词促成了《霍比特人》的诞生，这是一本非常受欢迎的儿童读物，也让约翰·罗纳德·鲁埃尔·托尔金成为知名作家。)”可知，约翰写《霍比特人》是为了逗他的孩子开心。故选B项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Unfortunately, even as a best-selling author, he faced continued rejection from publishers who were more interested in a sequel to  The Hobbit  than in his complex mythology. Nonetheless, Tolkien stayed committed to his imaginative world, showing his strong dedication to his creative vision.(不幸的是，即使作为畅销书作家，他也不断遭到出版商的拒绝，他们更感兴趣的是《霍比特人》的续集，而不是他复杂的神话。尽管如此，托尔金仍然致力于他的想象世界，显示出他对自己的创造性愿景的强烈奉献精神。)”可知，约翰不顾拒绝继续创作他的神话的原因是为了去追寻他的梦想。故选A项。 C The United Kingdom is hosting the AI Safety Summit, bringing politicians, computer scientists and big AI company leaders to a site chosen for its symbolism: Bletchley Park, the birthplace of computing and code-breaking (密码破译). During World War II, a group of mathematicians, chess masters and other experts gathered at the Victorian country house 72 kilometers northwest of London to start a secret war against Nazi Germany. Their goal was to break a set of constantly changing codes produced by Nazi Germany’s Enigma machine. To do it, Bletchley Park’s wartime scientists — building on work done by Polish code-breakers — developed Colossus, the first programmable digital computer. Some historians say cracking the code helped shorten the war by up to two years. “It has oversimplified its true contribution by describing Bletchley Park as a playground for Turing and other scientists.” said historian Chris Smith, author of The Hidden History of Bletchley Park. “Although it fits into the romantic idea that a group of smart men with a bit of wool and some yards of wire can win the war. In fact, almost 10,000 people worked at Bletchley Park during the war. Three quarters of them were women. It’s basically a factory... Twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. When peace came, the code-breakers returned to civilian life and promised to keep secret about their wartime work. It was not until the 1970s that the work at Bletchley Park became widely known in Britain.” In 1994, the site opened as a museum, after local historians banded together to prevent it from being pulled down to build a supermarket. It was restored to its 1940s appearance, complete with old typewriters, phones and cups—including the one tied to a heater in Hut 8, where Turing led the Enigma team. 28. What can we learn about Colossus? A. It was invented by Nazi Germany. B. It was designed to send secret messages. C. Polish code-breakers also made a contribution to it. D. The project’s goal was to produce the first computer. 29. What did Chris Smith most probably imply? A. Women’s hard work was overlooked. B. The secret should not be kept for so long. C. The computer ought to be more powerful. D. It is silly to say the machine shortened the war. 30. Why is the cup mentioned in the last paragraph? A. To highlight the government’s support. B. To show the perfect restoration of the site. C. To stress Turing’s important role in the project. D. To tell the difficulty in collecting the lost items. 31. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To advocate women’s equal rights with men. B. To advertise a newly restored computer museum. C. To show the significance of an important meeting. D. To add some background to the AI safety meeting. 【答案】28. C 29. A 30. B 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了年英国举办AI安全峰会，选址具有象征意义的布莱切利公园——计算机与密码破译发源地，回顾二战期间该地数千工作者，包括多数女性，对破译纳粹德国防御代码、加速战争结束的重要贡献，并提及该地作为博物馆的保存历程。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“To do it, Bletchley Park’s wartime scientists—building on work done by Polish code-breakers—developed Colossus, the first programmable digital computer. (为了实现这一目标，布莱切利公园的战时科学家们在波兰密码破译人员的基础上，开发了第一台可编程数字计算机“Colossus”。)”可知，波兰密码破译者对Colossus的开发做出了贡献。故选C。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“It has oversimplified its true contribution by describing Bletchley Park as a playground for Turing and other scientists. (它把布莱切利公园描述成图灵和其他科学家的游乐场，这过于简化了它的真正贡献。)”和“In fact, almost 10,000 people worked at Bletchley Park during the war. Three quarters of them were women. It’s basically a factory... Twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. (事实上，战争期间有近一万人在布莱切利公园工作。其中四分之三是女性。它基本上就是一个工厂……一天二十四小时，一周七天。)”可推断，Chris Smith 认为女性的付出被忽视了。故选A。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“It was restored to its 1940s appearance, complete with old typewriters, phones and cups—including the one tied to a heater in Hut 8, where Turing led the Enigma team. (它被恢复到20世纪40年代的样子，里面有旧打字机、电话和杯子，包括图灵领导的谜机团队所在的8号营房里的一个加热器。)”可知，作者提到茶杯这一细节是为了说明复原工作做得非常到位。故选B。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段“The United Kingdom is hosting the AI Safety Summit, bringing politicians, computer scientists and big AI company leaders to a site chosen for its symbolism: Bletchley Park, the birthplace of computing and code-breaking (密码破译). (英国正在主办人工智能安全峰会，将政治家、计算机科学家和大型人工智能公司的领导人聚集在一个具有象征意义的地点:布莱切利公园，计算和密码破译的发源地。)”可知，文章主要是为读者提供一些有关 AI安全峰会举办地的背景知识。故选D。 D Here’s a quick quiz. Person A does a favor for you. Person B asks you to do a favor for him. Who do you tend to like more? Surprisingly, the answer is Person B. This quirk (怪癖) of human nature is known as the Ben Franklin Effect. Benjamin Franklin came across the phenomenon in 1736 when serving as a clerk to the Pennsylvania Assembly. A powerful member didn’t care for Franklin and threatened to make life miserable for him. What to do? Instead of winning him over with sweet talk, Franklin asked if he could borrow a rare and valuable book the man owned. This request altered the man’s attitude and paved the way for their friendship. Franklin’s takeaway: “He that has once done you a kindness will be ready to do you another, than he whom you yourself have obliged.” Several studies have confirmed this. But how can we explain the Ben Franklin Effect? Some psychologists refer to cognitive dissonance (失调). It’s difficult to hold two contradictory thoughts at the same time. It makes us uncomfortable. We resolve this tension by changing our mind. “I don’t like Joe, but I am doing him a favor,” we might think. “So maybe I do like him.” While cognitive dissonance explains a lot, it alone doesn’t explain the Ben Franklin Effect. One 2015 study found that it was, rather, the affiliative (亲和) motive that the requests convey. That is, we humans want to maintain good relations with other humans, and one way to achieve this is by doing favors for others. This explains a lot about altruistic behavior. We like being useful and, by extension, we like those who give us the opportunity to do so. It’s in our genes. Yet there is much we still don’t know about the Ben Franklin Effect. Does it apply equally across cultures? Is there a point beyond which asking a favor makes you less, not more likable? Asking to borrow a book is one thing; asking to borrow a car is another. 32. Why does the author mention Benjamin Franklin’s experience? A. To illustrate a dilemma in making choices. B. To suggest a way of striking up friendships. C. To stress the importance of strategic requests. D. To introduce the origin of the Ben Franklin Effect. 33. What is a reason for people’s tendency to like those asking for favors? A. Reducing the tension caused by social contact. B. Increasing the chance of getting help in return. C. Avoiding the discomfort from conflicting thoughts. D. Establishing a cooperative community of shared trust. 34. What does the underlined word “altruistic” probably mean in paragraph 4? A. Selfless. B. Impolite. C. Aggressive. D. Responsible. 35. What does the author think of the Ben Franklin Effect? A. It makes little sense. B. It applies to most cultures. C. It has situational limitations. D. It has great practical significance. 【答案】32. D 33. C 34. A 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章介绍了本·富兰克林效应。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段的“Surprisingly, the answer is Person B. This quirk (怪癖) of human nature is known as the Ben Franklin Effect.(令人惊讶的是，答案是B型这种人性的怪癖被称为本·富兰克林效应。)”和第二段的“Benjamin Franklin came across the phenomenon in 1736 when serving as a clerk to the Pennsylvania Assembly. A powerful member didn’t care for Franklin and threatened to make life miserable for him. What to do? Instead of winning him over with sweet talk, Franklin asked if he could borrow a rare and valuable book the man owned. This request altered the man’s attitude and paved the way for their friendship. Franklin’s takeaway: “He that has once done you a kindness will be ready to do you another, than he whom you yourself have obliged.”(本杰明·富兰克林(Benjamin Franklin)在1736年担任宾夕法尼亚州议会书记员时遇到了这种现象。一个有权有势的成员不喜欢富兰克林，并威胁要让他的生活很痛苦。该怎么办？富兰克林没有用甜言蜜语来说服他，而是问他是否可以借他拥有的一本珍贵的书。这个请求改变了男人的态度，为他们的友谊铺平了道路。富兰克林的结论是：“曾经善待过你的人，会比你所善待的人更愿意为你做另一件事。”)”可推断，作者提到本杰明·富兰克林的经历为了介绍“本杰明·富兰克林效应”的起源。故选D。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的“Some psychologists refer to cognitive dissonance (失调). It’s difficult to hold two contradictory thoughts at the same time. It makes us uncomfortable.(一些心理学家称之为认知失调。同时持有两种相互矛盾的思想是很难的。这让我们感到不舒服。)” 可知，人们倾向于喜欢寻求帮助的人是因为认知失调，即避免持有矛盾的想法带来的不适。故选C。 【34题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词前文“One 2015 study found that it was, rather, the affiliative (亲和的) motive that the requests convey. That is, we humans want to maintain good relations with other humans, and one way to achieve this is by doing favors for others.(2015年的一项研究发现，更确切地说，这是请求所传达的亲和动机。也就是说，我们人类希望与他人保持良好的关系，而实现这一目标的一种方式就是帮助他人。)”以及下文“We like being useful and, by extension, we like those who give us the opportunity to do so. It’s in our genes.(我们喜欢成为有用的人，推而广之，我们喜欢那些给我们这样做机会的人。这是我们的基因。)”可推断，划线词所在句说明人类希望通过帮助他人来保持良好的关系，这解释了无私的行为，因此推断画线词与selfless“无私的”意思相近。故选A。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Yet there is much we still don’t know about the Ben Franklin Effect. Does it apply equally across cultures? Is there a point beyond which asking a favor makes you less, not more likable? Asking to borrow a book is one thing; asking to borrow a car is another.(然而，我们对本·富兰克林效应还有很多不了解的地方。它在不同文化中都适用吗？有没有一个点，超过了这个点，请求别人帮忙会让你更不讨人喜欢，而不是更讨人喜欢？借书是一回事；向别人借车是另一回事。)”可知，作者认为本·富兰克林效应有情境限制。故选C。 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。 The Hardest Novel I’ve Ever Read For the last three months, I have glared at its fat heavy form on my floor with a vague sense of personal failure. I have opened Ulysses twice, determined to finish it, and managed to get all the way to page 46. ____36____ ____37____ I like the community this book has created, its inherent sense of freedom and celebration of all things rude and true. I like that the style and language allow for readers to choose how they read it — some recommend skipping chapter three, others suggest reading it only after reading ABOUT it but I still get stuck. Why do I get stuck? ____38____ On the “Most Difficult Novels” list on the Goodreads website, Joyce takes the top two spots, with Ulysses ranking first and Finnegans Wake following it. I think what is restricting me to page 46 is the language: the big fat burst of Chaucerian English with slang and jaunty dialogue that, while entertaining me, is also leaving me a little lost. There are a few other “worthy” works of literature I have yet to read, including Infinite Jest and War and Peace. ____39____ I really want to love Ulysses. I feel deeply frustrated that I can’t finish it, all the while appreciating its uniqueness, weightiness and special “Joyceness.” The English writer Virginia Woolf thought Ulysses was nonsense as she complained in her diaries about the pressure to finish reading it. By contrast, Vladimir Nabokov, the author who wrote Lolita expressed deep love for it. ____40____ I have read it similar to a long marriage (something unpleasant, big reward at the end), modern Jazz-fusion (an innovative genre) and boxing match with oneself (wanting to punch yourself in the face), which is how I felt by page 46. Some people love Ulysses, so where am I getting wrong? My ultimate hope is that the struggle will be worth the effort and I can proceed victorious onto page 800 or so, on my third fourth, eighteenth try. Something tells me I will get there in the end. A. I’m not entirely sure myself. B. A lot of them are weighty tomes (巨著), but I like big books. C. I have read so little both times that I have never bothered using a bookmark. D. It seems that reading Ulysses is a big different experience for everyone. E. Even when staring at pages without absorbing a word, I thought nice thoughts about it. F. They, however, only cause me a slight sense of shame that I have not read or enjoyed them. G. I have been amused and charmed by the first two or three chapters, and then puzzled and bored. 【答案】36. C 37. G 38. A 39. F 40. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了作者在读《尤利西斯》时遇到问题并分析原因。 【36题详解】 空前“I have opened Ulysses twice, determined to finish it, and managed to get all the way to page 46. (我已经把《尤利西斯》翻了两遍，下定决心要读完它，并设法一直读到第46页。)”可知，作者读《尤利西斯》读得并不多，C选项“I have read so little both times that I have never bothered using a bookmark.(我两次读的页数都很少，所以都没用上书签。)”强调了作者读得不多，因此承接上文，符合语境，故选C。 【37题详解】 上文“I have opened Ulysses twice, determined to finish it, and managed to get all the way to page 46. (我已经把《尤利西斯》翻了两遍，下定决心要读完它，并设法一直读到第46页。)”中作者提到读《尤利西斯》，并终于读到了第46页，空后“I like the community this book has created, its inherent sense of freedom and celebration of all things rude and true. I like that the style and language allow for readers to choose how they read it—some recommend skipping chapter three, others suggest reading it only after reading ABOUT it but I still get stuck.(我喜欢这本书所创造的社区，它固有的自由感和对所有粗鲁和真实事物的庆祝。我喜欢这本书的风格和语言，它允许读者选择自己的阅读方式——有些人建议跳过第三章，有些人建议在阅读完关于它的内容后再读，但我仍然被困住了。)”说明的是作者读以后的感受，G项“I have been amused and charmed by the first two or three chapters, and then puzzled and bored.(我被前两三章逗乐和迷住，然后感到困惑和无聊)”讲的是作者的感受，因此承上启下，符合语境，故选G。 【38题详解】 上文“Why do I get stuck?(为什么我被卡住了？)”提出问题，下文“I think what is restricting me to page 46 is the language: the big fat burst of Chaucerian English with slang and jaunty dialogue that, while entertaining me, is also leaving me a little lost.(我想把我限制在第46页的是语言：大量的乔叟式英语，俚语和欢快的对话，在逗乐我的同时，也让我有点迷失。)”给出了作者认为可能的原因，空格处也应该分析被卡住的原因，A项“I’m not entirely sure myself.(我自己也不太确定。)”是作者分析的原因，因此承上启下，符合语境，故选A。 【39题详解】 上文“There are a few other “worthy” works of literature I have yet to read, including Infinite Jest and War and Peace.(我还没有读过其他一些“有价值”的文学作品，包括《无尽的玩笑》和《战争与和平》。)”讲作者还未读的有价值的其它文学作品，空格处要对这些作品进行描述，F项“They, however, only cause me a slight sense of shame that I have not read or enjoyed them.(然而，它们只会让我感到些许羞愧，因为我没有读过它们，也没有欣赏过它们。)”是作者对前面作品的描述，因此承接上文，符合语境，故选F。 【40题详解】 上文“The English writer Virginia Woolf thought Ulysses was nonsense as she complained in her diaries about the pressure to finish reading it. By contrast, Vladimir Nabokov, the author who wrote Lolita expressed deep love for it.(英国作家Virginia Woolf在日记中抱怨读完《尤利西斯》的压力很大，她认为这本书毫无意义。相反，《洛丽塔》的作者Vladimir Nabokov对《尤利西斯》表达了深深的喜爱。)”讲英国作家Virginia Woolf和《洛丽塔》的作者Vladimir Nabokov在读《尤利西斯》的不同体验，空格处应该对这些不同的体验进行评论，D项“It seems that reading Ulysses is a big different experience for everyone.(似乎阅读《尤利西斯》对每个人来说都是一种截然不同的体验。)”是对上文内容的总结，承接上文，符合语境，故选D。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30 分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 About five years ago I walked into a local climbing gym.

My initial motive was simple: I needed to fulfill community service hours required for graduation. However, what started as a mere obligation soon turned into a journey of meaningful personal growth and understanding. Upon my first visit to the shelter, I was immediately struck by the number of animals in need and the obvious sense of urgency among the staff and volunteers. Dogs barked eagerly from their cages, while cats paced restlessly. The shelter manager, Mrs Clark, a veteran in animal rescue, guided me through the orientation process. She detailed the daily tasks which included feeding the animals, cleaning their living spaces, and, most importantly, spending time socializing with them. It was clear from the beginning that this work would demand more than just my time; it required compassion and dedication. As weeks turned into months, my connection with the animals deepened. I learned to recognize their unique personalities and needs. Some were shy and withdrawn, needing much more time to engage, while others were excited and playful from the start. The more time I spent at the shelter, the more I realized how each interaction with an animal was a chance to provide them with a sense of security and love — a small comfort in their uncertain world. The responsibilities I held at the shelter also grew with time. Mrs Clark trusted me with more complex tasks such as administering medication and assisting in the adoption process. This trust not only boosted my confidence but also showed the importance of my role in these animals’ lives. The gratitude I saw in both the animals’ and adopters’ eyes was rewarding. 注意: (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 As my senior year began, I took on even greater responsibilities at the shelter. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Reflecting on my time at the shelter, I realize how much I have grown, not just in skills but also in spirit. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 As my senior year began, I took on even greater responsibilities at the shelter. Mrs Clark appointed me as a volunteer coordinator, a role that involved training new volunteers. This position challenged me to develop leadership skills and learn how to manage a team effectively. Each day presented new challenges, from coordinating fundraising events to handling the delicate situations of animals in distress. My ability to make quick, compassionate decisions grew, as did my commitment to the welfare of the animals and the shelter. Reflecting on my time at the shelter, I realize how much I have grown, not just in skills but also in spirit. The experience has instilled in me a lifelong commitment to animal welfare and has influenced my decision to pursue a career in animal medicine. The shelter has taught me about warmth, the impact of small acts of kindness, and the harmonious connection between humans and animals. This journey has been one of the most transformative experiences of my life, shaping me into a more empathetic and dedicated individual. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了“我”在高中期间自愿前往当地动物收容所做志愿者的经历及其对“我”个人成长的影响。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“随着高三学年的开始，我在收容所承担了更大的责任。”可知，第一段可描写“我”在高三时如何在收容所担任更多职责，特别是作为志愿者协调员的工作，以及这项工作对“我”的个人能力和责任感的提升。 ②由第二段首句内容“回顾在收容所的时间，我意识到自己不仅在技能上，而且在精神上都得到了很大的成长。”可知，第二段可描写“我”在收容所的经历对“我”人生观的影响，包括对未来职业道路的选择和对动物福利事业的长期承诺。 2. 续写线索：担任更多职责——成为志愿者协调员——面对新挑战——提升领导力——感受人与动物的和谐——决定职业方向——个人成长 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①发展，培养：develop/cultivate ②处理：handle/deal with/cope with ③影响：influence/affect 情绪类 ①有同理心的：empathetic/compassionate ②专注的，献身的：dedicated/devoted/committed 【点睛】【高分句型1】This position challenged me to develop leadership skills and learn how to manage a team effectively.
