Cellphones can make you feel more connected, but they can also distract (使分心) you and your family from connecting with each other in person. While some people need to check their phones for work or emergency (紧急情况) purposes, it’s important to make meaningful connections through face to face communication. Some people have trouble putting away their cellphones. They might feel they can’t control how often they pick up their phones or how long they use them. They might feel the need to often check phones without a real reason or feel upset if they don’t have an opportunity to use their phones. Using cellphones for work purposes during family time can increase worries and unhappiness among family members. While using their cellphones, parents talk to their kids less, reply more slowly, and overreact to being interrupted. And ignoring their partner while on the phone is linked to lower relationship satisfaction among couples. Once you’ve given some thought to your own cellphone use, think about the rules you want your family to follow when you’re together. To get your family on the same page, call a family meeting. Review each person’s current cellphone use and areas where you think some changes might help. It’s not just about simply cutting cellphone use down. Instead, consider what you’re using your phone for and what activities you want to carry out. For example, are you or your children using phones to stay connected, learn something new, do school work, or do something else? If you have kids, ask their opinions on your own phone use. You might be surprised by what they have to share. Use good communication skills by practicing active listening and showing curiosity about what each family member has to say. Less phone use also usually means less screen time, which enables kids to spend more time outdoors and be more physically active. When teens spend more time actively with their parents, they tend to set higher educational goals. 8. What’s the first paragraph mainly about? A. Family members’ connections. B. Cellphones’ new challenges at home. C. One disadvantage of the cellphones. D. People’s staying away from cellphones. 9. How do some people feel when they have no phone at hand? A. Uneasy. B. Uncertain. C. Curious. D. Homesick. 10. Why should a family meeting be held? A. To carry out activities. B. To reach an agreement. C. To share the latest news. D. To set an example to others. 11. What can be the best title for the text? A. Are Cellphones Influencing Family Time? B. Are Mobile Phones Changing People’s Life? C. How Can People Get Along with Their Parents? D. How Do Children Set Right Educational Goals? 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是过度使用手机对家庭关系的不良影响和如何解决这个问题。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段的“The way you use your cellphones around your family can have an effect on your relationships. Cellphones can make you feel more connected, but they can also distract (使分心) you and your family from connecting with each other in person.(你在家人身边使用手机的方式会对你的人际关系产生影响。手机可以让你感觉联系更紧密，但它们也会分散你和家人面对面交流的注意力。)”可知，第一段主要是关于手机的一个缺点。故选C。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段的“They might feel the need to often check phones without a real reason or feel upset if they don’t have an opportunity to use their phones.(他们可能会觉得有必要经常在没有真正理由的情况下查看手机，或者如果他们没有机会使用手机就会感到不安。)”可知，有些人在手边没有手机时感到不安，故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段的“To get your family on the same page, call a family meeting.(为了让你的家人达成一致，召集一次家庭会议。)”可知，召集家庭会议是为了要达成一致。故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段的“The way you use your cellphones around your family can have an effect on your relationships. Cellphones can make you feel more connected, but they can also distract (使分心) you and your family from connecting with each other in person.(你在家人身边使用手机的方式会对你的人际关系产生影响。手机可以让你感觉联系更紧密，但它们也会分散你和家人面对面交流的注意力。)”可知，本文主要讲的是过度使用手机对家庭关系的不良影响和如何解决这个问题，因此最好的题目是A选项“Are Cellphones Influencing Family Time?(手机影响家庭时间了吗？)”，故选A。 D In a world featuring endless choices, the search for simplicity has become more than just a desire—it’s a necessity. The book Yes Means Yes, Everything Else Means No explores the philosophy of simplicity and decision-making. Written by Bruce Mullen, this book goes beyond self-help clichés (陈词滥调) and offers a genuine, actionable approach to guiding life’s choices. The book recognizes decision-making as the centre of human existence and invites readers to admit each decision carries a weight. “Yes Means Yes, Everything Else Means No” sums up a sign if can’t rule—a definite “Yes” and a clear “No.” It encourages readers to focus on the “Yes” and stop readers from puting their effort into uncertain things. Another rule stressed in the book is simplicity in decision-making. By adopting simplicity, decision-makers aim to get the key information, focus on the most related factors, and avoid unnecessary aspects, enabling quicker judgments and swifter conclusions. The book is a practical guide to enhance decision-making skills. The author doesn’t merely express the philosophy but equips readers with the tools they need to apply effectively. From techniques to give preference to tasks to methods for avoiding distractions (分心), the book offers skills for simplifying the decision-making process. Through personal experiences, Mullen determined the power of simplification, guiding people to make decisions according to one’s own values and desires. Beyond individual context, this book also influences business strategies, relationship dynamics, and societal considerations. Mullen not only explores the essence of “yes means yes” but stresses the significance of making clear decisions at a crossroads. “Yes Means Yes, Everything Else Means No” is more than a book; it’s a philosophy that can change how we approach decisions. For those seeking to guide life with clarity and purpose, this book is a guiding light in the fog of in decision. 12. What are the readers encouraged to do according to paragraph 2? A. Solve uncertain matters. B. Summarize a key principle. C. Concentrate on related things. D. Make decisions independently. 13. Why is the book a practical guide to readers? A. To provide readers with life values. B. To help readers express philosophy. C. To improve readers’ critical thinking skills. D. To equip readers with decision-making skills. 14. What is paragraph 4 of the text mainly about? A. Definition of simplicity. B. Rules of making decisions. C. Benefits of stressing clarity. D. Influences of decision-making. 15. What is the article aimed at? A. Recommending a book. B. Sharing a positive attitude. C. Describing a simple lifestyle D. Solving philosophical problems. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了《Yes Means Yes, Everything Else Means No》这本可以增强读者决策力的书。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第二段中“Another rule stressed in the book is simplicity in decision-making. By adopting simplicity, decision-makers aim to get the key information, focus on the most related factors, and avoid unnecessary aspects, enabling quicker judgments and swifter conclusions.

Calligraphy, ___44___ a mirror, is a silent reflection of the soul.Today, although various modern ways have been substituted for the original calligraphy, ___45___ (especial) which is created with a writing brush, people still love the ancient form and practise it untiringly. 【答案】36. considered 37. but 38. is known 39. countries 40. requires 41. where 42. strength 43. themselves 44. like 45. especially 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍中国的独特的传统的艺术之一——书法。 【36题详解】 考查过去分词作后置定语。句意：书法，被认为是中国独特的传统艺术之一，有着大约1000年的悠久历史。此处Calligraphy 和consider之间是一种被动关系，是过去分词作后置定语，故填considered。 【37题详解】 考查固定搭配。句意：它不仅是一种文化交流的工具，更是一种艺术瑰宝，闪耀着非凡的美。固定搭配：not only…but also…“不但……而且……”。故填but。 【38题详解】 考查一般现在时态的被动语态。句意：作为中国艺术的代表，它被称为东方最古老的艺术形式。固定短语：be known as“作为……而著称”。这里在叙述一个客观事实，且主语是单数第三人称it，故填is known。 【39题详解】 考查名词复数。句意：书法在世界范围内产生了广泛的影响，甚至被引入到许多邻国。根据many后面跟名词复数，可知这里用country的复数形式，故填countries。 【40题详解】 考查一般现在时态和主谓一致。句意：练习书法不仅需要四宝的基本工具，还需要专注于引导充满液体墨水的软毛笔，以及在纸上写字，因为墨水很快就会扩散。动词不定式作主语谓语动词用单数形式，且这里在讲述一个客观事实，所以句子用一般现在时态，故填requires。 【41题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：练习书法不仅需要四宝的基本工具，还需要专注于引导充满液体墨水的软毛笔，以及在纸上写字，因为墨水很快就会扩散。此处paper作先行词，在后面的定语从句中作地点状语，故填where。 【42题详解】 考查名词。句意：一旦画笔运动犹豫，就会产生一个黑色的标记，因此速度、力量和敏捷性是优秀作品的精髓。分析句子结构，这里是并列的名词作主语，所给词strong是形容词，其名词是strength“力气，力量”，故填strength。 【43题详解】 考查反身代词。句意：许多书法家在书写时，会忘却一切烦恼，甚至忘乎所以，将一切思想融于艺术之美中。此处用反身代词作宾语，甚至忘了“自己”，故填themselves。 【44题详解】 考查介词。句意：书法就像一面镜子，是心灵的无声反映。介词like“像……一样”，故填like。 【45题详解】 考查副词。句意：虽然各种各样的现代方式已经取代了原来的书法，特别是用毛笔创作的书法，但人们仍然热爱这种古老的形式，并不懈地练习它。此处用副词后面的整个句子，故填especially。 【点睛】分析定语从句关键抓住两点：第一、找准先行词；第二、看先行词在定语从句中所作的成分。先行词往往为名词或代词，如本题第6小题中先行词为名词paper，再分析先行词paper在定语从句中所作的成分，将先行词paper带到从句中可知，只能作地点状语，故确定关系词where。 第三部分 基础知识运用(满分10分) 单词拼写(共10小题;每小题1分，满分10分) 根据首字母或括号里的中文提示或英文单词的适当形式填空。 46. The painting will be a lasting m_______ to the remarkable woman.(根据首字母单词拼写) 【答案】memorial##emorial 【解析】 【详解】考查名词。句意：这幅画将成为对这位杰出女性的永久纪念。根据首字母“m”以及句意可知，空处应填名词memorial，表示“纪念物”。a lasting memorial表示“一个永久的纪念物”，作表语。故填memorial。 47.

(根据首字母单词拼写) 【答案】visual##isual 【解析】 【详解】考查形容词。句意：文艺复兴时期壁画的视觉效果至今仍然令人印象深刻。根据首字母提示“v”和上下文含义，此处为形容词visual表示“视觉的”，作定语修饰名词 effect。故填visual。 48.

(根据汉语提示单词拼写) 【答案】permanent 【解析】 【详解】考查形容词。句意：他们有许多小孩子的肖像画作为他们永久的收藏的一部分。此处为形容词作定语修饰名词collection，根据汉语提示，表示“永久的”为形容词permanent。故填permanent。 49.

(根据汉语提示单词拼写) 【答案】statues 【解析】 【详解】考查名词。句意：美术馆正在举办一场雕像展览，吸引了大量游客。此处为名词作宾语，根据提示的汉语，此处表示“雕像”为statue，是可数名词，空前无限定词，所以此处使用名词复数形式表示泛指意义。故填statues。 50. At that time, it was only Vincent’s artist friend Anthon van Rappard who dared to _______ (评论) his painting The Potato Eaters. (根据汉语提示单词拼写) 【答案】comment 【解析】 【详解】考查动词。句意：当时，只有文森特的艺术家朋友Anthon van Rappard敢于评论他的画作《吃土豆的人》。根据提示的汉语，表示“评论”为动词comment，位于不定式符号to之后，所以此处使用动词原形。故填comment。 51.

(所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】composed 【解析】 【详解】考查动词时态语态。句意：均衡多样的饮食由各种营养丰富且美味的食物组成。结合句意，compose意为“组成”与主语a balanced and varied diet意为“均衡多样的饮食”之间是被动关系，所以使用过去分词形式与空前is构成一般现在时的被动语态，be composed of意为“由……构成”。故填composed。 53. The _______ (special) walked onto the platform, seated himself in a chair, and started his speech on ways to quit smoking. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】specialist 【解析】 【详解】考查名词。句意：这位专家走上讲台，坐在椅子上，开始了关于戒烟方法的演讲。根据空前的“The”可知，空处应填名词作主语，special的名词形式specialist，意为“专家”，符合句意，且此处指的是一位专家，应用单数形式。故填specialist。 54. Dancing allows me to express myself freely, while motorcycle riding provides me with a sense of _______ (liberate). (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】liberation 【解析】 【详解】考查名词。句意：舞蹈让我能够自由地表达自己，而骑摩托车则给我一种解放的感觉。此处为名词作宾语，liberate的名词为liberation表示“解放”或“自由”，且为不可数名词。故填liberation。 55. The teacher _______ (repeat) emphasized the importance of practicing grammar to improve writing skills. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】repeatedly 【解析】 【详解】考查副词。句意：老师反复强调练习语法对提高写作能力的重要性。空处修饰动词emphasized，需用副词形式作状语，repeat的副词形式为repeatedly，意为“反复地，再三地”。故填repeatedly。 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节 书面表达(满分15分) 56. 假定你是李华，上周五你校举办了一场主题为“健康与运动”的演讲比赛。请你为校英文报写一篇报道，内容包括： 1.参赛人员； 2.现场描述； 3.比赛反响。4. 80词左右。 A Speech Contest About “Health and Sport” _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: A Speech Contest About “Health and Sport” Last Friday, our school held a speech contest whose theme was “Health and Sport” in the auditorium.

It was a beautiful and sunny day in Florida. Tom stopped socializing altogether six years ago after his wife. Meredith, died of cancer. He had all of his time to himself, reading books, watching TV and occasionally experimenting with new cooking recipes on social media platform. With time. Tom realized he didn’t particularly like being alone. His only son, Aiden, was a successful analyst (分析师) in a big IT firm in New York City, and Tom wanted Aiden to visit him, but the young man kept putting it off. Suddenly Tom noticed that the rubbish bags were left outside instead of inside the bin (垃圾桶). Thinking it would relieve his boredom, Tom went to the bin and began clearing the rubbish, putting the bags inside the bin. When he was done, he noticed that nearly every family in the area had left their rubbish bags outside the bins. Tom knew it would be difficult to clean up the rubbish in front of all the houses in the hot weather, but he couldn’t just see the rubbish bags left like that. He took a big rubbish bag from his backyard and decided to move from one house to the next, clearing up the litter. Tom stopped right in front of the bin and began clearing the rubbish, putting the bags inside the bin. But he hadn’t even left when a man came with a rubbish bag and simply dropped it on the road. To make matters worse, he didn’t even secure the bag properly, so the wind blew part of the rubbish onto the street. 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。 At that point, Tom lost his cool. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ While continuing to clear the rubbish, he noticed a young boy joined him. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 At that point, Tom lost his cool. “What on earth are you doing? Can’t you see I’m trying to clean up here?” he shouted at the man. The man looked at him, surprised, and then shrugged his shoulders. “It’s not my job to clean up the rubbish. I pay my taxes, and the city should take care of it,” he said and walked away. Tom was furious. He couldn’t believe how selfish some people could be. While continuing to clear the rubbish, he noticed a young boy joined him. “Hello, Mr. Hankins. I saw what you were doing, and I thought I’d help you,” the boy said. Tom looked at him, surprised and grateful. “Thank you, young man. That’s very kind of you,” he said. Together, they worked hard to clean up the rubbish. When they were done, Tom felt a sense of satisfaction. He realized that even though there were selfish people in the world, there were also kind and caring ones. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了88岁汤姆·汉金斯看到垃圾袋被放在外面，就走到垃圾箱旁，开始清理垃圾，把袋子放进垃圾箱里。一个丢垃圾的人还十分不配合，让汤姆很生气，好在一个小男孩加入了他的行列，他们一起努力清理垃圾。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“当时，汤姆失去了冷静”可知，第一段可描写汤姆对这人自私的行为感到愤怒。 ②由第二段首句内容“当他继续清理垃圾时，他注意到一个小男孩也加入了他的行列”可知，第二段可描写男孩和汤姆一起清理垃圾，感到满足。 2.续写线索：失去冷静——对方自私——汤姆生气——男孩加入——男孩帮助——一起清理——感到满足 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①叫喊：shout/yell ②看着：look at/stare at ③意识到：realize/be aware 情绪类 ①惊讶：surprised/astonished ②生气：furious/outraged 【点睛】[高分句型1] I saw what you were doing, and I thought I’d help you (运用了what，that引导宾语从句，省略了that) [高分句型2] He realized that even though there were selfish people in the world, there were also kind and caring ones.

Apart from the Terracotta Warriors, there are also some other attractions in the city. Here are some of them. Ancient City Wall Xi'an City Wall was built in the 14th century in the Ming Dynasty as a military defense system. Now it is one of the oldest and best preserved Chinese city walls. The wall is now a landmark, dividing the city into inner and outer areas. Giant Wild Goose Pagoda （塔） Situated in an ancient temple, the pagoda built with layers of bricks was built in the Tang Dynasty. It is traditional Chinese architecture. One of the main functions of the pagoda was to store Buddhist scriptures（经文） and figurines brought to China from India by the famous monk and traveler Xuan Zang, who stayed here for 19 years translating Buddhist scriptures. Shaanxi History Museum The Shaanxi History Museum, built in 1991，is home to over 370,000 precious relics unearthed in Shaanxi over the years, The museum consists of three main sections.

B The history of art is filled with remarkable movements that have shaped the way we perceive and create art. One such movement is the Surrealist movement, which emerged in the early 20th century.

Cellphones can make you feel more connected, but they can also distract (使分心) you and your family from connecting with each other in person. While some people need to check their phones for work or emergency (紧急情况) purposes, it’s important to make meaningful connections through face to face communication. Some people have trouble putting away their cellphones. They might feel they can’t control how often they pick up their phones or how long they use them. They might feel the need to often check phones without a real reason or feel upset if they don’t have an opportunity to use their phones. Using cellphones for work purposes during family time can increase worries and unhappiness among family members. While using their cellphones, parents talk to their kids less, reply more slowly, and overreact to being interrupted. And ignoring their partner while on the phone is linked to lower relationship satisfaction among couples. Once you’ve given some thought to your own cellphone use, think about the rules you want your family to follow when you’re together. To get your family on the same page, call a family meeting. Review each person’s current cellphone use and areas where you think some changes might help. It’s not just about simply cutting cellphone use down. Instead, consider what you’re using your phone for and what activities you want to carry out. For example, are you or your children using phones to stay connected, learn something new, do school work, or do something else? If you have kids, ask their opinions on your own phone use. You might be surprised by what they have to share. Use good communication skills by practicing active listening and showing curiosity about what each family member has to say. Less phone use also usually means less screen time, which enables kids to spend more time outdoors and be more physically active. When teens spend more time actively with their parents, they tend to set higher educational goals. 8. What’s the first paragraph mainly about? A Family members’ connections. B. Cellphones’ new challenges at home. C. One disadvantage of the cellphones. D. People’s staying away from cellphones. 9. How do some people feel when they have no phone at hand? A. Uneasy. B. Uncertain. C. Curious. D. Homesick. 10. Why should a family meeting be held? A. To carry out activities. B. To reach an agreement. C. To share the latest news. D. To set an example to others. 11. What can be the best title for the text? A. Are Cellphones Influencing Family Time? B. Are Mobile Phones Changing People’s Life? C. How Can People Get Along with Their Parents? D. How Do Children Set Right Educational Goals? D In a world featuring endless choices, the search for simplicity has become more than just a desire—it’s a necessity. The book Yes Means Yes, Everything Else Means No explores the philosophy of simplicity and decision-making. Written by Bruce Mullen, this book goes beyond self-help clichés (陈词滥调) and offers a genuine, actionable approach to guiding life’s choices. The book recognizes decision-making as the centre of human existence and invites readers to admit each decision carries a weight. “Yes Means Yes, Everything Else Means No” sums up a sign if can’t rule—a definite “Yes” and a clear “No.” It encourages readers to focus on the “Yes” and stop readers from puting their effort into uncertain things. Another rule stressed in the book is simplicity in decision-making. By adopting simplicity, decision-makers aim to get the key information, focus on the most related factors, and avoid unnecessary aspects, enabling quicker judgments and swifter conclusions. The book is a practical guide to enhance decision-making skills. The author doesn’t merely express the philosophy but equips readers with the tools they need to apply effectively. From techniques to give preference to tasks to methods for avoiding distractions (分心), the book offers skills for simplifying the decision-making process. Through personal experiences, Mullen determined the power of simplification, guiding people to make decisions according to one’s own values and desires. Beyond individual context, this book also influences business strategies, relationship dynamics, and societal considerations. Mullen not only explores the essence of “yes means yes” but stresses the significance of making clear decisions at a crossroads. “Yes Means Yes, Everything Else Means No” is more than a book; it’s a philosophy that can change how we approach decisions. For those seeking to guide life with clarity and purpose, this book is a guiding light in the fog of in decision. 12. What are the readers encouraged to do according to paragraph 2? A. Solve uncertain matters. B. Summarize a key principle. C. Concentrate on related things. D. Make decisions independently. 13. Why is the book a practical guide to readers? A. To provide readers with life values. B. To help readers express philosophy. C. To improve readers’ critical thinking skills. D. To equip readers with decision-making skills. 14. What is paragraph 4 of the text mainly about? A. Definition of simplicity. B. Rules of making decisions. C. Benefits of stressing clarity. D. Influences of decision-making. 15. What is the article aimed at? A. Recommending a book. B. Sharing a positive attitude. C. Describing a simple lifestyle D. Solving philosophical problems. 第二节(共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。(注意：E涂AB，E涂AC，G涂AD) Do you ever have months when you struggle to keep your money under control?

His only son, Aiden, was a successful analyst (分析师) in a big IT firm in New York City, and Tom wanted Aiden to visit him, but the young man kept putting it off. Suddenly, Tom noticed that the rubbish bags were left outside instead of inside the bin (垃圾桶). Thinking it would relieve his boredom, Tom went to the bin and began clearing the rubbish, putting the bags inside the bin. When he was done, he noticed that nearly every family in the area had left their rubbish bags outside the bins. Tom knew it would be difficult to clean up the rubbish in front of all the houses in the hot weather, but he couldn’t just see the rubbish bags left like that. He took a big rubbish bag from his backyard and decided to move from one house to the next, clearing up the litter. Tom stopped right in front of the bin and began clearing the rubbish, putting the bags inside the bin. But he hadn’t even left when a man came with a rubbish bag and simply dropped it on the road. To make matters worse, he didn’t even secure the bag properly, so the wind blew part of the rubbish onto the street. 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。 At that point, Tom lost his cool. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ While continuing to clear the rubbish, he noticed a young boy joined him. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
