What does the speaker advise people to do in the end? A. Buy organic food. B. Send messages to Rachel. C. Learn from Silent Spring. 【答案】18. A 19. B 20. C 【解析】 【原文】M: I’m deeply interested in ecology, and my hero is Rachel Carson. She was the first to make people think about how our actions as humans are causing permanent damage to Earth’s ecosystems. She began as a biologist, specializing in writing about the sea, but she gradually became aware of the dangers of using pesticides like DDT and the way they can harm the whole of the food chain. In 1962, she wrote her classic book Silent Spring to explain these dangers to the general public. The title of Silent Spring refers to the fact that one day all the birds might be dead, leaving us without their beautiful springtime songs. The agricultural and chemical industries reacted negatively to the book, and said she was unprofessional. However, further research by other scientists proved that she was right about the dangers of chemicals used to kill insects. Today, there is a growing movement towards organic food production, but unfortunately the situation overall is still getting worse rather than improving. We must continue to read Rachel Carson’s book and reflect on its message. 第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节 阅读理解(共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中, 选出最佳选项, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A Despite being one of the most famous and most-visited attractions in the United States, Grand Canyon National Park still holds some surprises. Here are a few facts about the Grand Canyon you probably don’t know. We don’t really know how old it is It has long been believed that the Colorado River began carving the Grand Canyon about 6 million years ago, but a study contained a real shocker, suggesting that the process may have begun as far back as 70 million years. In all likelihood, the Grand Canyon as we know it today started out as a series of smaller canyons 70 million years ago, but most of the canyon did not begin to take shape until much more recently. The Grand Canyon creates its own weather Of all Grand Canyon facts, this one is pretty cool — no pun (双关语) intended. Sudden changes in elevation (海拔) have great effects on temperature and rainfall, so the weather you’re experiencing could change largely depending on where you are in the Grand Canyon. The coldest, wettest weather station in the area is the Bright Angel Ranger Station on the North Rim, while the hottest (and one of the driest) is just 8 miles away at Phantom Ranch. There are lots of fossils in the area While the dinosaurs might have missed out on seeing the Grand Canyon, lots of other fossils have been found that suggest other creatures often visited the area. They range from ancient marine fossils dating back 1.2 billion years to fairly recent land mammals that left their remains in canyon caves about 10,000 years ago. Fish are relatively uncommon in the area Before modern flood control measures, the Colorado River provided a uniquely difficult habitat for fish, with heavy silt, frequent floods, and temperatures ranging from extreme heat in summer to sub-freezing in winter. As a result, only eight fish species are native to the Grand Canyon, six of which are found nowhere outside of the Colorado River. 21. What is the weather like in the Great Canyon? A. It is unusually cold. B. It changes from place to place. C. It is pretty cool. D. It is extremely hot. 22. Why are fish relatively unusual in the area? A. The temperature here is relatively stable. B. It has a special geological phenomenon. C. There are eight fish species unique to the world. D. It offers tough habitats for fish with extreme temperature. 23. Which section of a magazine is the text most likely from? A. Life. B. Stories. C. Geography. D. Science. 【答案】21. B 22. D 23. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了大峡谷的地理特征。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Sudden changes in elevation (海拔) have great effects on temperature and rainfall, so the weather you’re experiencing could change largely depending on where you are in the Grand Canyon.(海拔的突然变化对温度和降雨有很大的影响，所以你所经历的天气在很大程度上取决于你在大峡谷的位置)”可知，大峡谷的天气因地而异，故选B。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Before modern flood control measures, the Colorado River provided a uniquely difficult habitat for fish, with heavy silt, frequent floods, and temperatures ranging from extreme heat in summer to sub-freezing in winter.(在现代洪水控制措施之前，科罗拉多河为鱼类提供了一个独特的难以生存的栖息地，泥沙淤积，洪水频繁，气温从夏季的极端高温到冬季的零下温度不等)”可知，它为鱼类提供了极端温度下的艰难栖息地，故选D。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Despite being one of the most famous and most-visited attractions in the United States, Grand Canyon National Park still holds some surprises. Here are a few facts about the Grand Canyon you probably don’t know.(尽管大峡谷国家公园是美国最著名、游客最多的景点之一，但它仍然有一些惊喜。以下是一些你可能不知道的关于大峡谷的事实)”以及本文主要介绍了大峡谷的地理特征，故本文最有可能来自杂志的地理部分，故选C。 B The eyes of an artist are special. They can see things others can’t notice and create beautiful art forms from their imagination. In the case of 27-year-old Emily Shifflet, she creates her art literally using only her eyes, as she lives with Rett syndrome, a rare genetic and developmental disorder that limits speech and movement. “Although Emily lives with a condition that has silenced her, she is still able to communicate and express herself through art, and she is an example that people living with Rett syndrome can have lives filled with purpose and creativity,” said Emily’s mother, Jenny Shifflet. Emily creates her art using a special digital software operated by her eyes called Tobii Dynavox. She was able to learn and practice her painting by using the digital painter software on her communication device. Meghan Winslow, owner of a family art studio, said, “I love the diversity of the different designs based upon the different painting tools that she can select. It’s an amazing mix of science, technology and art.” Emily has always been exposed to music and art. Tobii Dynavox has really helped her communicate how she was feeling. The painting tool was truly a game-changer. “Emily could finally use the only muscle she has to be creative,” Jenny said. Jenny noticed the art Emily was creating a few years ago and thought they could make nice gifts. She now sells her one-of-a-kind artwork through her website, Eye Gaze Designs by Emily. “Her artwork is a gift,” Jenny said. “It is showing people that individuals with different abilities can be creative and successful in different ways. That’s what we want to show.” Emily’s artwork has also appeared in Hershey Medical Center and The Art of Pennsylvania. She also serves as a guest artist at SPLAT-A Family Art Studio in Annville and Hershey, Pennsylvania. She simply continues to shine. 24. What’s special about Emily Shifflet? A. She is able to paint with her eyes. B. She has trained many artistic talents. C. She is good at developing digital software. D. She can see herself reflected in artists eyes. 25. What do we know about Tobii Dynavox? A. It can assist in artistic creation. B. It’s a digital product of a painter. C. It can perform an eye operation. D. It’s a treatment for Rett syndrome. 26. Why does Jenny sell her daughter’s artwork online? A. To make it gifts for people in need. B. To raise money for people with disabilities. C. To inspire people to seek their own success. D. To invite people to take up art creation in life. 27. What does the text indicate? A. Art originates from life but is higher than life. B. Technology has made our life worth living. C. The early bird catches the worm. D. Technology breaks down barriers. 【答案】24. A 25. A 26. C 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了患有雷特综合征（Rett syndrome）的艺术家Emily Shifflet在科技辅助下克服身体障碍，成功创作艺术，实现创造力和人生价值的故事。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“she creates her art literally using only her eyes(她仅用眼睛创作艺术)和第二段“Emily creates her art using a special digital software operated by her eyes called Tobii Dynavox(Emily使用眼控数字软件Tobii Dynavox创作艺术)”可知，她的特殊之处在于能用眼睛绘画。故选A项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Emily creates her art using a special digital software operated by her eyes called Tobii Dynavox(Emily使用眼控数字软件Tobii Dynavox创作艺术)”和第四段“Tobii Dynavox has really helped her communicate how she was feeling. The painting tool was truly a game-changer.(Tobii Dynavox真的帮助她表达了自己的感受。这个绘画工具真的改变了她的生活)”可知，该软件能辅助艺术创作。故选A项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“She now sells her one-of-a-kind artwork through her website, Eye Gaze Designs by Emily. “Her artwork is a gift,” Jenny said. “It is showing people that individuals with different abilities can be creative and successful in different ways.(她现在通过她的网站“Eye Gaze Designs by Emily”出售她独一无二的艺术品。“她的作品是一份礼物，”珍妮说。“它向人们表明，不同能力的人可以以不同的方式创造和成功”)”可知，珍妮在网上卖她女儿的艺术品目的是激励人们追求自己的成功。故选C项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。主要讲述了患有雷特综合征（Rett syndrome）的艺术家Emily Shifflet在科技辅助下克服身体障碍，成功创作艺术，实现创造力和人生价值的故事。由此推知，文章体现了“科技打破限制”。故选D项。 C There’s an inner desire amongst most people to explore our planet. There’s this sense in modern society that somehow we will find a better existence or we’ll find happiness by going on holiday. I think we’ve almost been conditioned to become tourists, to the extent that a lot of people engage in tourism without actually considering why they’re doing so. There are plenty of people who will go to the same place every year, because they’re comfortable and familiar with it. People are experiencing less and less the places they are at. They might be there in body, but not necessarily in mind, because a lot of people are constantly thinking: “How am I going to present myself to my social media group back home through my posts on Facebook or Instagram?” But this is just one side of the problem. On the other side, our travel has taken a toll on the environment. It is reported that the carbon emissions from air travel accounted for 2.5% of global emissions in 2019, and this figure may be three times by 2050. I admit that there has been a considerable increase in people’s awareness about the environment. And some people say that this can eventually lead to a shift in our behavior as tourists. However, I can’t share their optimism. A lot of research has been done into the extent to which tourists are willing to adapt their behavior. And even those people who regularly consume or behave in an environmentally friendly fashion actually temporarily forget their environmental commitments, and behave like normal tourists. They do suffer some kind of eco-guilt, but nevertheless they continue to travel, and they continue to fly. I’m old enough to remember when tourism was just the summer holiday, and you would look forward to those two weeks a year when you would go on holiday. It was special and meaningful, but nowadays it is so easy to travel. Travel is now seen as a right, not as a privilege. However, to some extent, I hope there will be a significant rise in the cost of travel, or at least in air travel. In my opinion, only in this way can people realize the value of travel experience and really enjoy it. Also, only in this way can many problems arising with the development of tourism be properly solved. 28. What is the problem with most tourists according to the author? A. They don’t care about our planet at all. B. They post too many photos on social media. C. They can hardly find the right place to explore. D. They fail to have a meaningful traveling experience. 29. What does the underlined part “taken a toll on” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Improved. B. Damaged. C. Saved. D. Shaped. 30. What can we infer from Paragraph 4? A. Tourists can hardly be affected by environmental awareness. B. Tourists are unaware of the effect of their behavior. C. Tourists’ environmental awareness has been increased. D. Tourists find it hard to travel without harming the environment. 31. Why does the author hope airline tickets will be more expensive? A. To limit the development of tourism. B. To create a sense of equality in society. C. To help people value their traveling experience. D. To make people less excited about travelling. 【答案】28. D 29. B 30. A 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章指出现在很多游客旅游缺乏有意义的体验，且旅游对环境造成破坏，即便游客有环保意识也难改变行为，作者希望提高旅行成本来解决问题。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“I think we’ve almost been conditioned to become tourists, to the extent that a lot of people engage in tourism without actually considering why they’re doing so.(我认为我们几乎已经习惯于成为游客，以至于很多人去旅游，却没有真正考虑他们为什么要这样做)”和第二段中“There are plenty of people who will go to the same place every year, because they’re comfortable and familiar with it. People are experiencing less and less the places they are at. They might be there in body, but not necessarily in mind(有很多人每年都会去同一个地方，因为他们对那里感到舒适和熟悉。人们对所处之地的体验越来越少。他们可能人在那里，但心不一定在)”可知，作者提到大多数游客的问题是他们只是身体在旅游目的地，却没有用心去感受，即他们无法获得有意义的旅行体验。故选D项。 【29题详解】 词句猜测题。划线短语下文“It is reported that the carbon emissions from air travel accounted for 2.5% of global emissions in 2019, and this figure may be three times by 2050.(据报道，2019年航空旅行的碳排放占全球碳排放的2.5%，到2050年这一数字可能会达到三倍)”说明了旅游对环境产生了不良影响。所以“On the other side, our travel has taken a toll on the environment.(另一方面，我们的旅行taken a toll环境)”中动词短语taken a toll on的意思是“损害”，与B项“Damaged”同义。故选B项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“And even those people who regularly consume or behave in an environmentally friendly fashion actually temporarily forget their environmental commitments, and behave like normal tourists. They do suffer some kind of eco guilt, but nevertheless they continue to travel, and they continue to fly.(即使是那些经常以环保方式消费或行事的人，实际上也会暂时忘记他们的环保承诺，表现得像普通游客一样。他们确实会有某种生态负罪感，但尽管如此，他们还是继续旅行，继续坐飞机)”可知，尽管一些游客有环保意识，但很难改变自己的旅游行为，说明游客很难受到环保意识的影响。故选A项。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“However, to some extent, I hope there will be a significant rise in the cost of travel, or at least in air travel. In my opinion, only in this way can people realize the value of travel experience and really enjoy it.(然而，在某种程度上，我希望旅行成本，至少是航空旅行成本会大幅上升。在我看来，只有这样，人们才能意识到旅行体验的价值并真正享受它)”可知，作者希望机票更贵是因为他希望通过增加旅行成本的方式来帮助人们重视他们的旅行体验。故选C项。 D Imagine you’re purchasing a lottery ticket, and your heart races as you check the numbers. To your amazement, you’ve matched five out of six! What will you do next? Will you buy another ticket? For most people, the answer is a big “Yes”. When we come close to achieving a goal, we often gain a powerful energy that can drive us toward future success. Monica Wadhwa, a marketing professor at Temple University, suggests that not winning can actually motivate us more than winning itself. In her studies, Wadhwa conducted various experiments to test this concept. In one experiment, participants played a cellphone game with the task of revealing eight diamonds. After the game, those who nearly won — by getting seven diamonds — walked faster to claim their reward than both winners and losers. “Their motivation is getting intensified (加强), but then they miss it ... So what happens to this motivation? It hooks on, giving you the energy for the next goal that you have.” Wadhwa explains, “As for the winners, they inch toward their goal, they achieve it, and their motivation is satisfied, which leaves them with no need to fight for anything else.” However, this fire in your belly should be used wisely. Such motivation can push you toward significant goals, or be wasted on distractions. In another experiment at a fashion-accessory store where shoppers were given scratch-off lottery tickets, the near-winners shopped more and spent more than both winners and losers. To harness (利用) this energy, Wadhwa advises setting goals that are slightly beyond our reach. She encourages managers to establish challenging yet achievable targets for their teams. Additionally, she recommends that parents highlight how close their children came to winning when they experience losses, fostering resilience and motivation. By understanding the unique power of nearly winning, we can turn setbacks into stepping stones for future success. As Wadhwa puts it. “Winners really do not take it all.” 32. What’s the purpose of paragraph 1? A. To stress the importance of winning. B. To display harmful effects of the lottery. C. To explain the rules of playing the lottery. D. To illustrate the excitement of nearly winning. 33. According to Wadhwa, what motivated the near-winners to act faster? A. The eagerness to win another game. B. The unmet ambitions for winning games. C. The dissatisfaction of not achieving goals. D. The need for immediate recognition or rewards. 34. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 4 mean? A. Feeling energized does not always ensure success. B. You should not let your emotions guide your actions. C. Motivation can lead to unwise choices if not controlled. D. Having strong ambitions always leads to acting carelessly. 35. Which statement might Wadhwa agree most? A. Parents should take their children’s losses seriously. B. Managers should assign more tasks to star performers. C. Encouraging children to fight for perfection is essential. D. Setting slightly challenging goals can enhance motivation. 【答案】32. D 33. B 34. C 35. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了研究表明接近成功（差点赢）比成功本身更能激励人，但这种动力需明智利用，例如设定具有挑战性但可实现的目标来激发动力。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Imagine you’re purchasing a lottery ticket, and your heart races as you check the numbers. To your amazement, you’ve matched five out of six! What will you do next? will you buy another ticket? For most people, the answer is a big “Yes”.(想象一下，你正在买一张彩票，当你检查号码时，你的心跳加速。令你惊讶的是，你已经匹配了六个中的五个！接下来你要做什么？你要买另一张票吗？对大多数人来说，答案是肯定的)”可知，第一段描述买彩票差点中奖的情景，是来说明差一点获胜时的兴奋。故选D。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Their motivation is getting intensified (加强), but then they miss it ... So what happens to this motivation? It hooks on, giving you the energy for the next goal that you have.(他们的动力越来越强，但是他们错过了……那么这种动机发生了什么呢？它会诱惑住你，给你能量去实现下一个目标)”可知，未实现的赢得比赛的野心促使那些接近赢家人采取更快的行动。故选B。 【34题详解】 句意猜测题。根据划线词后文“Such motivation can push you toward significant goals, or be wasted on distractions.(这样的动机可以推动你实现重要的目标，或者被浪费在分心的事情上)”可知，这种动机可以推动实现目标，也可能被浪费在分心的事情上。故划线句意思是“动力若不受控制会导致不明智选择”。故选C。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“To harness (利用) this energy, Wadhwa advises setting goals that are slightly beyond our reach. She encourages managers to establish challenging yet achievable targets for their teams.(为了利用这种能量，瓦德瓦建议设定一些稍微超出我们能力范围的目标。她鼓励管理者为团队制定具有挑战性但可以实现的目标)”可知，设定具有挑战性但可实现的目标能激发动力。故选D。 第二节 七选五 (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。 It seems that deep, long-lasting happiness comes from intangible (无形的) things, rather than things like chocolates and smart-phones. ______36______ People who have the support of family members and also have strong friendships are more likely to be happy. Feeling protected and respected and knowing you can trust in the people around you is vital. But happiness means you have to give and take, Performing acts of kindness and generosity on a regular basis, for example, listening to a friend in need or carrying a neighbor’s shopping, will make you feel on top of the world. ______37______ In fact, they say that one smile makes a person feel as good as eating 2,000 bars of chocolates (not all at once, of course). It is not surprising that health is another key contributor to happiness. ______38______ But being healthy and staying healthy require some effort. A healthy diet is crucial and so is regular exercise. Laziness will not make you happy. Exercising for 20 to 30 minutes a day helps to reduce stress and anxiety and makes you feel more positive and optimistic because it releases endorphins (feel-good chemicals). So, if you have been feeling blue and worrying too much about your exams, get exercising. ______39______ Talking of sleep, do you often wake up feeling miserable? ______40______ Teenagers tend to go to bed too late and have to get up early, so many suffer from a lack of sleep. Tiredness will certainly affect your happiness levels and put you in a bad mood. It also affects your ability to concentrate and may slow your growth. So if you want to be happy and do well at school, try to get at least eight hours of sleep a night. Now that you know the theory, it’s time to put it all into practice. A. You’ll also find that you sleep better. B. Even a simple smile can work wonders. C. One essential factor is human relationships. D. In the end, happiness comes from good sleep. E.

Here are a few facts about the Grand Canyon you probably don’t know. We don’t really know how old it is It has long been believed that the Colorado River began carving the Grand Canyon about 6 million years ago, but a study contained a real shocker, suggesting that the process may have begun as far back as 70 million years. In all likelihood, the Grand Canyon as we know it today started out as a series of smaller canyons 70 million years ago, but most of the canyon did not begin to take shape until much more recently. The Grand Canyon creates its own weather Of all Grand Canyon facts, this one is pretty cool — no pun (双关语) intended. Sudden changes in elevation (海拔) have great effects on temperature and rainfall, so the weather you’re experiencing could change largely depending on where you are in the Grand Canyon. The coldest, wettest weather station in the area is the Bright Angel Ranger Station on the North Rim, while the hottest (and one of the driest) is just 8 miles away at Phantom Ranch. There are lots of fossils in the area While the dinosaurs might have missed out on seeing the Grand Canyon, lots of other fossils have been found that suggest other creatures often visited the area. They range from ancient marine fossils dating back 1.2 billion years to fairly recent land mammals that left their remains in canyon caves about 10,000 years ago. Fish are relatively uncommon in the area Before modern flood control measures, the Colorado River provided a uniquely difficult habitat for fish, with heavy silt, frequent floods, and temperatures ranging from extreme heat in summer to sub-freezing in winter. As a result, only eight fish species are native to the Grand Canyon, six of which are found nowhere outside of the Colorado River. 21. What is the weather like in the Great Canyon? A. It is unusually cold. B. It changes from place to place. C. It is pretty cool. D. It is extremely hot. 22. Why are fish relatively unusual in the area? A The temperature here is relatively stable. B. It has a special geological phenomenon. C. There are eight fish species unique to the world. D. It offers tough habitats for fish with extreme temperature. 23. Which section of a magazine is the text most likely from? A. Life. B. Stories. C. Geography. D. Science. B The eyes of an artist are special. They can see things others can’t notice and create beautiful art forms from their imagination. In the case of 27-year-old Emily Shifflet, she creates her art literally using only her eyes, as she lives with Rett syndrome, a rare genetic and developmental disorder that limits speech and movement. “Although Emily lives with a condition that has silenced her, she is still able to communicate and express herself through art, and she is an example that people living with Rett syndrome can have lives filled with purpose and creativity,” said Emily’s mother, Jenny Shifflet. Emily creates her art using a special digital software operated by her eyes called Tobii Dynavox. She was able to learn and practice her painting by using the digital painter software on her communication device. Meghan Winslow, owner of a family art studio, said, “I love the diversity of the different designs based upon the different painting tools that she can select. It’s an amazing mix of science, technology and art.” Emily has always been exposed to music and art. Tobii Dynavox has really helped her communicate how she was feeling. The painting tool was truly a game-changer. “Emily could finally use the only muscle she has to be creative,” Jenny said. Jenny noticed the art Emily was creating a few years ago and thought they could make nice gifts. She now sells her one-of-a-kind artwork through her website, Eye Gaze Designs by Emily. “Her artwork is a gift,” Jenny said. “It is showing people that individuals with different abilities can be creative and successful in different ways. That’s what we want to show.” Emily’s artwork has also appeared in Hershey Medical Center and The Art of Pennsylvania. She also serves as a guest artist at SPLAT-A Family Art Studio in Annville and Hershey, Pennsylvania. She simply continues to shine. 24. What’s special about Emily Shifflet? A. She is able to paint with her eyes. B. She has trained many artistic talents. C. She is good at developing digital software. D. She can see herself reflected in artists eyes. 25. What do we know about Tobii Dynavox? A. It can assist in artistic creation. B. It’s a digital product of a painter. C. It can perform an eye operation. D. It’s a treatment for Rett syndrome. 26. Why does Jenny sell her daughter’s artwork online? A. To make it gifts for people in need. B. To raise money for people with disabilities. C. To inspire people to seek their own success. D. To invite people to take up art creation in life. 27. What does the text indicate? A. Art originates from life but is higher than life. B. Technology has made our life worth living. C. The early bird catches the worm. D. Technology breaks down barriers. C There’s an inner desire amongst most people to explore our planet. There’s this sense in modern society that somehow we will find a better existence or we’ll find happiness by going on holiday. I think we’ve almost been conditioned to become tourists, to the extent that a lot of people engage in tourism without actually considering why they’re doing so. There are plenty of people who will go to the same place every year, because they’re comfortable and familiar with it. People are experiencing less and less the places they are at. They might be there in body, but not necessarily in mind, because a lot of people are constantly thinking: “How am I going to present myself to my social media group back home through my posts on Facebook or Instagram?” But this is just one side of the problem. On the other side, our travel has taken a toll on the environment. It is reported that the carbon emissions from air travel accounted for 2.5% of global emissions in 2019, and this figure may be three times by 2050. I admit that there has been a considerable increase in people’s awareness about the environment. And some people say that this can eventually lead to a shift in our behavior as tourists. However I can’t share their optimism. A lot of research has been done into the extent to which tourists are willing to adapt their behavior. And even those people who regularly consume or behave in an environmentally friendly fashion actually temporarily forget their environmental commitments, and behave like normal tourists. They do suffer some kind of eco-guilt, but nevertheless they continue to travel, and they continue to fly. I’m old enough to remember when tourism was just the summer holiday, and you would look forward to those two weeks a year when you would go on holiday. It was special and meaningful, but nowadays it is so easy to travel. Travel is now seen as a right, not as a privilege. However, to some extent, I hope there will be a significant rise in the cost of travel, or at least in air travel. In my opinion, only in this way can people realize the value of travel experience and really enjoy it. Also, only in this way can many problems arising with the development of tourism be properly solved. 28. What is the problem with most tourists according to the author? A. They don’t care about our planet at all. B. They post too many photos on social media. C. They can hardly find the right place to explore. D. They fail to have a meaningful traveling experience. 29. What does the underlined part “taken a toll on” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Improved. B. Damaged. C. Saved. D. Shaped. 30. What can we infer from Paragraph 4? A. Tourists can hardly be affected by environmental awareness. B. Tourists are unaware of the effect of their behavior. C. Tourists’ environmental awareness has been increased. D. Tourists find it hard to travel without harming the environment. 31. Why does the author hope airline tickets will be more expensive? A. To limit the development of tourism. B. To create a sense of equality in society. C. To help people value their traveling experience. D. To make people less excited about travelling. D Imagine you’re purchasing a lottery ticket, and your heart races as you check the numbers. To your amazement, you’ve matched five out of six! What will you do next? Will you buy another ticket? For most people, the answer is a big “Yes”. When we come close to achieving a goal, we often gain a powerful energy that can drive us toward future success. Monica Wadhwa, a marketing professor at Temple University, suggests that not winning can actually motivate us more than winning itself. In her studies, Wadhwa conducted various experiments to test this concept. In one experiment, participants played a cellphone game with the task of revealing eight diamonds. After the game, those who nearly won — by getting seven diamonds — walked faster to claim their reward than both winners and losers. “Their motivation is getting intensified (加强), but then they miss it ... So what happens to this motivation? It hooks on, giving you the energy for the next goal that you have.” Wadhwa explains, “As for the winners, they inch toward their goal, they achieve it, and their motivation is satisfied, which leaves them with no need to fight for anything else.” However, this fire in your belly should be used wisely. Such motivation can push you toward significant goals, or be wasted on distractions. In another experiment at a fashion-accessory store where shoppers were given scratch-off lottery tickets, the near-winners shopped more and spent more than both winners and losers. To harness (利用) this energy, Wadhwa advises setting goals that are slightly beyond our reach. She encourages managers to establish challenging yet achievable targets for their teams. Additionally, she recommends that parents highlight how close their children came to winning when they experience losses, fostering resilience and motivation. By understanding the unique power of nearly winning, we can turn setbacks into stepping stones for future success. As Wadhwa puts it. “Winners really do not take it all.” 32. What’s the purpose of paragraph 1? A. To stress the importance of winning. B. To display harmful effects of the lottery. C. To explain the rules of playing the lottery. D. To illustrate the excitement of nearly winning. 33. According to Wadhwa, what motivated the near-winners to act faster? A. The eagerness to win another game. B. The unmet ambitions for winning games. C. The dissatisfaction of not achieving goals. D. The need for immediate recognition or rewards. 34. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 4 mean? A. Feeling energized does not always ensure success. B. You should not let your emotions guide your actions. C. Motivation can lead to unwise choices if not controlled. D. Having strong ambitions always leads to acting carelessly. 35. Which statement might Wadhwa agree most? A. Parents should take their children’s losses seriously. B. Managers should assign more tasks to star performers. C. Encouraging children to fight for perfection is essential. D. Setting slightly challenging goals can enhance motivation. 第二节 七选五 (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。 It seems that deep, long-lasting happiness comes from intangible (无形的) things, rather than things like chocolates and smart-phones. ______36______ People who have the support of family members and also have strong friendships are more likely to be happy. Feeling protected and respected and knowing you can trust in the people around you is vital. But happiness means you have to give and take, Performing acts of kindness and generosity on a regular basis, for example, listening to a friend in need or carrying a neighbor’s shopping, will make you feel on top of the world. ______37______ In fact, they say that one smile makes a person feel as good as eating 2,000 bars of chocolates (not all at once, of course). It is not surprising that health is another key contributor to happiness. ______38______ But being healthy and staying healthy require some effort. A healthy diet is crucial and so is regular exercise. Laziness will not make you happy. Exercising for 20 to 30 minutes a day helps to reduce stress and anxiety and makes you feel more positive and optimistic because it releases endorphins (feel-good chemicals). So, if you have been feeling blue and worrying too much about your exams, get exercising. ______39______ Talking of sleep, do you often wake up feeling miserable? ______40______ Teenagers tend to go to bed too late and have to get up early, so many suffer from a lack of sleep. Tiredness will certainly affect your happiness levels and put you in a bad mood. It also affects your ability to concentrate and may slow your growth. So if you want to be happy and do well at school, try to get at least eight hours of sleep a night. Now that you know the theory, it’s time to put it all into practice. A. You’ll also find that you sleep better. B. Even a simple smile can work wonders. C. One essential factor is human relationships. D. In the end, happiness comes from good sleep. E. If so, it’s probably because you haven’t had enough of it. F. Sustainable happiness may be more spiritual than material. G. Poor health will certainly make you feel down in the mouth. 第三部分 语言运用(共四节，满分50分) 第一节 完形填空(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) I was so excited to cover a new adventure to Qomolangma when I was a journalist.

SHE was the first to make people think about how our actions as humans are causing permanent damage to earth ecosystems. SHE began as a biologist specializing in writing about the sea, but he gradually became aware of the dangers of using pesticides like ddt and the way they can harm the whole of the food chain. In one thousand nine sixty two, SHE wrote her classic book silent spring to explain these dangers to the general public. The title of silent spring refers to the fact that one day all the birds might be dead, leaving us without their beautiful springtime songs. The agricultural and chemical industries reacted negatively to the book and said he was unprofessional. However, further research by other scientists proved that he was right about the dangers of chemicals used to kill insects. Today, there is a growing movement towards organic food production, but unfortunately the situation overall is still getting worse rather than improving. We must continue to read Rachel carsons book and reflect on its message. I'm deeply interested in ecology, and my hero is a Rachel carson.
