The awe-inspiring nature of the waterfall is mainly because it is more than 5500 feet wide. Victoria Falls and the neighboring areas were collectively listed as a World Heritage site in 1989. Congo River Coursing through the heart of Africa, the Congo River is the continent’s second-longest river after the Nile. It marks the border of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The river is approximately 2900 miles long and, with its many branches, forms the most extensive system of navigable (通航的) waterways in Africa. The Congo River is home to hundreds of species of fish, many of which are indigenous to the river. Lake Victoria It is the largest lake in Africa and the chief reservoir (水库) of the Nile River. This freshwater body has an area of 26,828 square miles, making it one of the largest freshwater lakes in the world. The lake is primarily contained in the eastern African countries of Tanzania and Uganda, with a portion in Kenya. Ituri Forest This dense tropical rainforest is located in Central Africa, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The Ituri Forest covers some 24,300 square miles. It takes its name from the Ituri River, which flows through the forest. Some visitors are struck by the grandness of the rainforest; others find it oppressive (令人窒息的) — the famed author Joseph Conrad called the rainforest the “heart of darkness”. 1. What makes Victoria Falls extremely impressive? A. Its distinct location. B. Its worldwide recognition. C. Its height. D. Its width. 2. What can we know about Congo River? A. It is the longest river in Africa. B. It has the largest boat-accessible network. C. It only flows through two counties in the eastern Africa. D.

The Ituri River flows through it. D. It is named by a famous author. 【答案】1. D 2. B 3. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了非洲的一些自然景观。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“The awe-inspiring nature of the waterfall is mainly because it is more than 5500 feet wide.(这个瀑布令人敬畏的主要原因是它的宽度超过5500英尺)”可知，维多利亚瀑布令人印象深刻的是它的宽度。故选D项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The river is approximately 2900 miles long and, with its many branches, forms the most extensive system of navigable (通航的) waterways in Africa. (这条河大约有2900英里长，加上它的许多支流，形成了非洲最广范围的通航水道系统)”可知，刚果河是非洲最大的船只通航的水系交通网络。故选B项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“The Ituri Forest covers some 24,300 square miles. … Some visitors are struck by the grandness of the rainforest; others find it oppressive (令人窒息的) —— the famed author Joseph Conrad called the rainforest the ‘heart of darkness’.(伊图里森林占地约24300平方英里。……一些游客被雨林的壮观所震撼；另一些人则觉得雨林令人压抑——著名作家Joseph Conrad称这片雨林为‘黑暗之心’)”可知，伊图里森林被称为黑暗之心，应该是因为这片雨林的广大和浓密，使人产生窒息感。故选A项。 B Stan Lee lived an extraordinary life without the need for superpowers. He was the creative force behind Marvel Comics. His stories brought new life to the comic book industry, transforming it from a small special interest into a worldwide hit that connected with adults and achieved a success no one had expected before. Growing up in poverty in Manhattan, Stanley Leiber had found comfort in literature. His love for the written word fueled his eagerness to write the Great American Novel — an idea every American writer had long been lost in figuring out the essence of America. However, his path led him to comic books, where he initially met with disrespect from the contemporary writers. Little did they know that when he penned his first comic script as “Stan Lee” in 1941, he was putting on his own superhero costume. His characters broke new ground by weaving everyday human struggles into superhuman abilities, creating a unique mix of recognizable emotions and extraordinary power. Reed Richards could stretch beyond limits when facing Doctor Doom, Peter Parker’s life was a mix of teenage. worries and Spider-Man’s heroics, and Ben Grimm’s tough appearance as the “Thing” hid a heart full of courage. Despite his success, Stan Lee encountered challenges. Key cooperatives like Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko felt overlooked, and Marvel faced financial hardships during the 1980s and 1990s. His attempts at television were mostly unsuccessful, but Hollywood eventually held out its olive branch, particularly to the Spider-Man and X-Men series, giving him praise and wealth. Yet financial success was bittersweet. Stan Lee received no extra money for his creations and had to fight to be recognized and paid fairly. In 2001, he founded POW! Entertainment to gain more control over his work. Legal battles marked his final years as he sought to claim his rightful share of the world he helped build. Stan Lee’s legacy extends beyond his stories. He made short appearances in very popular films based on his characters, being a modest figure in the exciting events he had a part in creating. His life turned an ordinary man into a legend. 4. What did Stan Lee dream of originally? A. Developing the comic book industry. B. Shaking off poverty for the family. C. Becoming a superhero on the film scene. D. Claiming a place in the fiction world. 5. What’s the difference between Stan Lee’s characters and those that came before him? A. Their final missions were to rescue the real world. B. Their abilities were super and more extraordinary. C. They combined normal humans with superpowers. D. They mainly focused on solving humans’ problems. 6. What’s the turning point of weathering the storm for Marvel? A. Hollywood’s embrace. B. The attempts of television show. C. Key cooperatives’ withdrawal. D. The Spider-Man and X-Men series’ success. 7. Which of the following can best describe Stan Lee? A. Imaginative and innovative. B. Conservative and goal-driven. C. Clever and performance-loving. D. Generous and cooperative. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. A 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了漫威漫画创作者斯坦·李的个人经历以及成就。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“His love for the written word fueled his eagerness to write the Great American Novel — an idea every American writer had long been lost in figuring out the essence of America.(对文字的热爱使他渴望写出伟大的美国小说——这是每个美国作家在寻找美国本质的过程中长期丢失的一个想法)”可知，斯坦·李最初的梦想是在小说世界占有一席之地。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“His characters broke new ground by weaving everyday human struggles into superhuman abilities, creating a unique mix of recognizable emotions and extraordinary power.(他的角色将人类的日常挣扎编织成超人的能力，创造了一种独特的情感和非凡的力量)”可知，斯坦·李的角色和他之前的角色的不同之处在于把普通人和超能力结合在一起。故选C。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“His attempts at television were mostly unsuccessful, but Hollywood eventually held out its olive branch, particularly to the Spider-Man and X-Men series, giving him praise and wealth.(他在电视上的尝试大多不成功，但好莱坞最终伸出了橄榄枝，尤其是《蜘蛛侠》和《x战警》系列，给了他赞扬和财富)”可知，漫威渡过难关的转折点是好莱坞的青睐。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“His characters broke new ground by weaving everyday human struggles into superhuman abilities, creating a unique mix of recognizable emotions and extraordinary power. Reed Richards could stretch beyond limits when facing Doctor Doom, Peter Parker’s life was a mix of teenage. worries and Spider-Man’s heroics, and Ben Grimm’s tough appearance as the “Thing” hid a heart full of courage.(他的角色将人类的日常挣扎编织成超人的能力，创造了一种独特的情感和非凡的力量。里德·理查兹在面对毁灭博士时可以超越极限，彼得·帕克的生活是一个混合的青少年。忧虑和蜘蛛侠的英雄气概，以及本·格林作为“物”的强硬外表下隐藏着一颗充满勇气的心)”可知，斯坦·李将普通人和超能力结合在一起，创造了一种独特的情感和非凡的力量，体现了他的创新精神和想象力。故选A。 C As the final term of the high school becomes ever closer, students start to prepare for university. However, the country’s 18-year-olds are not the only ones plotting out their hopes for higher education. More than 3,000 people aged over 50 applied to universities in 2019, and adult student applications are growing more than three times faster than those of school-leavers. But why are so many older adults coming back to the classroom? For a closer look, here is a third-year mature student answering this question. Having left the publishing industry in her fifties, Christina chose Nottingham Trent University to follow her passion for animal biology. She credits the experience as a transformative one for her self-confidence, both inside and outside the classroom. “I’m definitely a bit of a mum figure to some of my course mates, but that’s fine — friendship grows in different ways,” Christina said. “I’ve been invited to all the club nights and such which I haven’t really taken up, but I’ve done lots of volunteering, so there have been plenty of opportunities to broaden my knowledge and experience.” Christina’s husband is retired now and has taken on lots of the housework and the support to their autistic (患自闭症的) son so that she can study. Christina’s daughter has already graduated from university and she has been great in helping Christina get a perspective whenever Christina struggles a bit with the workload. Christina said that she would recommend adult education to any adult, even if it’s just college, so they can feel that connection and support. That’s what she missed — going in regularly and having a lot of people to talk to. Especially if people’s confidence has been knocked over the years — they need that support from others who see them as a person and not just as a mother or a wife. Adult education has really given Christina confidence to speak up again, to join in and be part of society. She was shrinking inside the little world of her house. But now she feels a lot more 3D. 8. What do the statistics in paragraph 1 show? A. More students are dropping out of high school. B. There are many older people going to university. C. Age can improve the learning abilities and interest. D. The young have less interest in learning than the senior. 9. Why does the author show the example of Christina? A. To stress the necessity of earning a degree. B. To show ways to rebuild one’s self-confidence. C. To explain reasons for adults attending college. D. To give females tips on balancing study and life. 10. Why does Christina recommend adult education to others? A. It is beneficial to connect with young people. B. Higher education can improve one’s confidence. C. People need to learn more knowledge to get promotion. D. University courses can improve one’s communication skills. 11. What does the text mainly convey? A. Home is where everyone is treated equally. B. Self-confidence comes from the family’s support. C. Scholarship wears no wrinkles, nor learning grey hairs. D. Universities are the crucial stage where females perform. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了如今老年人开始上大学的现象，以Christina为例，说明了背后的原因。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“More than 3,000 people aged over 50 applied to universities in 2019, and adult student applications are growing more than three times faster than those of school-leavers. But why are so many older adults coming back to the classroom?( 2019年，超过3000名50岁以上的人申请了大学，成人学生申请的增长速度是高中毕业生的三倍多。但为什么这么多老年人又回到了教室呢？)”可知，第1段的统计数字说明了有很多老年人上大学。故选B。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“But why are so many older adults coming back to the classroom? For a closer look, here is a third-year mature student answering this question.(但是为什么有这么多的老年人重返课堂呢？为了深入了解这一现象，下面是一位读大三的成年学生来回答这个问题)”以及第二段“Having left the publishing industry in her fifties, Christina chose Nottingham Trent University to follow her passion for animal biology. She credits the experience as a transformative one for her self-confidence, both inside and outside the classroom.(Christina在50多岁时离开了出版业，选择了诺丁汉特伦特大学，追随她对动物生物学的热情。她认为这段经历改变了她在课堂内外的自信心)”可知，作者以Christina为例是为了解释成年人上大学的原因。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Christina said that she would recommend adult education to any adult, even if it’s just college, so they can feel that connection and support. That’s what she missed — going in regularly and having a lot of people to talk to. Especially if people’s confidence has been knocked over the years — they need that support from others who see them as a person and not just as a mother or a wife.(Christina克里斯蒂娜说，她会向任何成年人推荐成人教育，哪怕只是上大学也行，这样他们就能感受到那种联系和支持。这正是她所怀念的——定期去上课，还有很多人可以交流。尤其是如果这些年来人们的自信心受到了打击，他们就需要来自他人的那种支持，这些人是把他们当作一个独立的个体来看待，而不只是把他们看作母亲或妻子)”可知，Christina向别人推荐成人教育是因为高等教育可以提高一个人的信心。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Adult education has really given Christina confidence to speak up again, to join in and be part of society. She was shrinking inside the little world of her house. But now she feels a lot more 3D.(成人教育确实让Christina重新获得了勇气去表达自己的想法，去参与社会活动并成为其中的一份子。曾经的她在自己狭小的家庭世界里逐渐变得封闭。但现在，她感觉自己的生活丰富立体了许多)”及全文内容可知，文章主要讲述了越来越多的成年人（尤其是 50 岁以上的人）选择上大学接受成人教育，通过Christina的例子说明了成人教育对个人的积极影响，如增强自信、提供社交机会等，强调了学习不受年龄限制，任何时候都可以追求知识和自我提升。由此推断，文章主要传达了“知识不会让容颜布满皱纹，学识也不会使青丝染上白发”的道理。故选C。 D Nearly half of all jobs are at risk from automation and computers in the next 20 years. The next generation will need new skills to survive in an AI world. Literacy, numeracy, science and languages are all important. Still, they share one thing in common: computers will be far better than humans at processing these forms of explicit (显性的) knowledge. The risk is that the education system will be churning out humans who are no more than second-rate computers, so if the focus of education continues to be on passing on explicit knowledge across the generations, we will be in trouble. The AI challenge is about building skills that AI cannot imitate. These are essential human skills such as teamwork, leadership, listening, dealing with people and managing crises and conflict. These are all forms of tacit (默示的) knowledge, not explicit knowledge. They are know-how skills, not know-what skills. Know-what is easy to spread across generations and is easy to measure. Know-how skills are the opposite. The employability skills gap is already large, and AI will only make it larger. University technical colleges explicitly address employability, focusing on developing engineers, technicians and future scientists. “Studio schools” started in 2010 with the intent of blending vocational (职业的) and academic education with work experience. Of the 50 schools started, 16 have already announced plans to close. Evaluation and league tables are a barrier to success. The school accountability framework keeps changing, but there is always some variation in measuring how well schools transfer know-what skills. Tom Ravenscroft challenges this approach, “We are doubling down on the idea that if we get children to know things and repeat them in a certain way in an exam, then we are setting them up for success in life.” Success depends on equipping the next generation with human skills that even AI cannot imitate: creativity, innovation, and dealing with conflict and uncertainty. We are not ready for this. We have not even started to get prepared. 12. What does the underlined word “churning out” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Ranking fairly. B. Teaching to perfection. C. Inspiring with great care. D. Producing in large quantities. 13. What is the main focus of “studio schools”? A. Theory & Practice. B. Skills & Development. C. Basic knowledge. D. Professional Training. 14. What is the author’s attitude towards the current education system in relation to AI? A. Optimistic. B. Critical. C. Indifferent. D. Supportive. 15. What does the text mainly talk about? A. The limitations of the traditional education system. B. The function of AI in reforming the education system. C. The urgency of adapting education to the AI challenge. D. The pioneering project on combining education reform and AI. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章指出在未来20年，近一半的工作面临自动化和计算机的威胁，下一代需要新技能才能在人工智能世界中生存，当前教育系统若继续侧重于传授显性知识将面临困境，急需培养人工智能无法模仿的人类技能，以应对人工智能带来的挑战。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“Nearly half of all jobs are at risk from automation and computers in the next 20 years. The next generation will need new skills to survive in an AI world. Literacy, numeracy, science and languages are all important. Still, they share one thing in common: computers will be far better than humans at processing these forms of explicit (显性的) knowledge(在未来20年，近一半的工作面临自动化和计算机的威胁。下一代需要新技能才能在人工智能世界中生存。读写能力、计算能力、科学和语言都很重要。不过，它们有一个共同点：在处理这些显性知识方面，计算机将远比人类出色)”以及第二段“The risk is that the education system will be … humans who are no more than second-rate computers, so if the focus of education continues to be on passing on explicit knowledge across the generations, we will be in trouble(风险在于，教育系统将大量……只不过是二流计算机的人，所以如果教育的重点继续放在代代相传的显性知识上，我们就会陷入麻烦)”可知，教育系统侧重于传授显性知识，在处理这些显性知识方面，计算机将远比人类出色，也就是说接受这种教育的人将成为不过是二流计算机的人，可推理出此处说的是教育系统如果继续侧重于传授显性知识，就会像生产产品一样，大量产出只是会处理显性知识的人，所以“churning out”意思是“大量生产”，故选D项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段““Studio schools” started in 2010 with the intent of blending vocational (职业的) and academic education with work experience(“工作室学校”于2010年创办，旨在将职业教育和学术教育与工作经验相结合)”可知，职业教育侧重实践技能，学术教育侧重理论知识，“工作室学校”将两者结合，也就是注重理论与实践，故选A项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“The risk is that the education system will be churning out humans who are no more than second-rate computers, so if the focus of education continues to be on passing on explicit knowledge across the generations, we will be in trouble(风险在于，教育系统将大量生产出不过是二流计算机的人，所以如果教育的重点继续放在代代相传的显性知识上，我们就会陷入麻烦)”以及最后一段“Evaluation and league tables are a barrier to success. The school accountability framework keeps changing, but there is always some variation in measuring how well schools transfer know-what skills. Tom Ravenscroft challenges this approach, “We are doubling down on the idea that if we get children to know things and repeat them in a certain way in an exam, then we are setting them up for success in life.” Success depends on equipping the next generation with human skills that even AI cannot imitate: creativity, innovation, and dealing with conflict and uncertainty. We are not ready for this. We have not even started to get prepared(评估和排名表是成功的障碍。学校问责框架不断变化，但在衡量学校传授“知道是什么”技能的程度方面总是存在一些差异。汤姆・拉文斯克罗夫特对这种方法提出了挑战，“我们加倍坚持这样一种观点，即如果我们让孩子们知道一些事情，并在考试中以某种方式重复这些事情，那么我们就是在为他们的人生成功做准备。” 成功取决于为下一代配备即使是人工智能也无法模仿的人类技能：创造力、创新能力以及处理冲突和不确定性的能力。我们对此还没有准备好。我们甚至还没有开始准备)”可知，作者认为当前教育系统存在问题，继续侧重于传授显性知识会带来风险，且现有的评估方式等阻碍了培养人工智能无法模仿的技能，可推理出作者对当前与人工智能相关的教育系统持批判态度。故选B项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Nearly half of all jobs are at risk from automation and computers in the next 20 years. The next generation will need new skills to survive in an AI world. Literacy, numeracy, science and languages are all important. Still, they share one thing in common: computers will be far better than humans at processing these forms of explicit (显性的) knowledge(在未来20年，近一半的工作面临自动化和计算机的威胁。下一代需要新技能才能在人工智能世界中生存。读写能力、计算能力、科学和语言都很重要。不过，它们有一个共同点：在处理这些显性知识方面，计算机将远比人类出色)”、第二段“The risk is that the education system will be churning out humans who are no more than second-rate computers, so if the focus of education continues to be on passing on explicit knowledge across the generations, we will be in trouble(风险在于，教育系统将大量生产出不过是二流计算机的人，所以如果教育的重点继续放在代代相传的显性知识上，我们就会陷入麻烦)”以及最后一段“Success depends on equipping the next generation with human skills that even AI cannot imitate: creativity, innovation, and dealing with conflict and uncertainty. We are not ready for this. We have not even started to get prepared(成功取决于为下一代配备即使是人工智能也无法模仿的人类技能：创造力、创新能力以及处理冲突和不确定性的能力。我们对此还没有准备好。我们甚至还没有开始准备)”可知，文章开篇指出在未来20年近一半工作受人工智能威胁，下一代需新技能在人工智能世界生存，接着论述当前教育系统若继续侧重传授显性知识的风险，强调需培养人工智能无法模仿的人类技能，如团队合作、领导力等，最后指出当前教育系统在培养这些技能方面还没准备好。所以文章主要讲的是使教育适应人工智能挑战的紧迫性，故选C项。 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。 A recent study showed that people are also more willing than ever to quit their companies, even without another job lined up. Whether you are the one leaving or remaining, your career stability is undoubtedly affected. ___16___ Here are four tips for you. Take advantage of uncertain times to sharpen your long-term career plans. Periods of change allow you to analyze strengths, test interests, and identify gaps so that decisions match with evolving markets. Meanwhile instability can be a motivation to improve your ability to adapt and succeed in your career. ___17___ Regularly revisiting this plan turns unpredictability into clarity, ensuring each challenge actively shapes a future rooted in purpose. ___18___ Think about how career advancement has always been about building your resume (简历), with more activities and quantifiable results in each experience. This focus is still important, but it’s centered on what you’ve done, not who you are. In today’s changing work environment, you need to know who you need to “be” not just a list of what you can do. Focus on process, not outcomes, and your passion will find you. By prioritizing daily learning and creative problem-solving, you build skills naturally. ___19___ For instance, curiosity-driven projects often lead to unexpected yet meaningful goals. Over time, consistent effort sharpens self-awareness. This gradual process transforms uncertainty into a path where purpose emerges naturally. Develop the ability to learn quickly and adapt to stay ahead of future changes. When challenges become opportunities to practice new skills, like analyzing trends or adjusting strategies, it is natural that mental flexibility should grow. Adaptable thinkers identify patterns others miss. This cycle can transform uncertainty into progress and turn disruption into a steady rhythm of growth. ___20___ A. Are you afraid of being fired? B. Do you want to weather the uncertainty? C. This approach lets you explore interests without pressure. D. Uncover who you need to be, not just what you need to do. E. Ensure that self-awareness is the foundation of career adaptability. F. Thus a roadmap you design can balance exploration and fair stability. G. Future success belongs to those who grow faster than their environment. 【答案】16. B 17. F 18. D 19. C 20. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了在如今人们更愿意辞职，职业稳定性受到影响的情况下，给出了四条帮助应对职业不确定性的建议，包括制定长期职业规划、明确自身特质、关注过程而非结果以及培养快速学习和适应能力。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Whether you are the one leaving or remaining, your career stability is undoubtedly affected (无论你是离开的那个人还是留下的人，你的职业稳定性无疑都会受到影响)”以及下文“Here are four tips for you (这里有四条建议给你)”可知，上文提到了职业稳定性会受到影响，下文说的是四条建议，可推理出此处需要一个承上启下的句子，引出关于如何应对职业不确定性的内容。B项“Do you want to weather the uncertainty? (你想经受住这种不确定性吗？)”中的“uncertainty”与上文职业稳定性受影响所带来的不确定性相呼应，且通过提问的方式自然地引出下文的建议，符合语境。故选B项。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Take advantage of uncertain times to sharpen your long-term career plans. Periods of change allow you to analyze strengths, test interests, and identify gaps so that decisions match with evolving markets. Meanwhile instability can be a motivation to improve your ability to adapt and succeed in your career(利用不确定的时期来完善你的长期职业规划。变化时期让你能够分析自己的优势，测试自己的兴趣，并找出差距，以便做出与不断发展的市场相匹配的决策。同时，不稳定也可以成为提高你在职业生涯中适应和成功能力的动力)”可知，上文提到了要完善你的长期职业规划，分析自己的优势，测试自己的兴趣，并找出差距，以便做出与不断发展的市场相匹配的决策，可推理出此处讲述了制定长期职业规划的好处。F项“Thus a roadmap you design can balance exploration and fair stability (因此，你设计的路线图可以平衡探索和合理的稳定性)”中的“a roadmap you design”与上文的“long-term career plans”相呼应，“balance exploration and fair stability”进一步说明了制定规划能带来的积极效果，即平衡探索和稳定性，承接上文。故选F项。 18题详解】 根据下文“Think about how career advancement has always been about building your resume (简历), with more activities and quantifiable results in each experience. This focus is still important, but it’s centered on what you’ve done, not who you are. In today’s changing work environment, you need to know who you need to “be” not just a list of what you can do. (想想职业发展一直以来都是关于建立你的简历，在每段经历中都有更多的活动和可量化的结果。这种关注仍然很重要，但它是以你所做的事情为中心，而不是你是谁。在当今不断变化的工作环境中，你需要知道你需要“成为”什么样的人，而不仅仅是你能做什么的清单)”可知在当今不断变化的工作环境中，你需要知道你需要“成为”什么样的人，而不仅仅是你能做什么的清单，所以此处强调在职业发展中要关注自身特质，而不只是做过的事情。D项“Uncover who you need to be, not just what you need to do. (发现你需要成为什么样的人，而不仅仅是你需要做什么。)”与下文内容一致，能够概括该段主旨，作为段落小标题合适。故选D项。 【19题详解】 根据上文“Focus on process, not outcomes, and your passion will find you. By prioritizing daily learning and creative problem-solving, you build skills naturally. (关注过程，而不是结果，你的激情就会找到你。通过优先考虑日常学习和创造性地解决问题，你会自然地培养技能)”可知，上文提到了要关注过程，而不是结果，可推理出下文说的是关注过程而不是结果的原因，或者关注过程的好处。C 项“This approach lets you explore interests without pressure.(这种方法让你在没有压力的情况下探索兴趣)”中的“This approach”指的就是上文关注过程的方法，“explore interests without pressure”进一步说明了这种方法的积极作用，且与下文通过好奇心驱动项目来探索兴趣相呼应，承接上下文。故选C项。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Develop the ability to learn quickly and adapt to stay ahead of future changes. When challenges become opportunities to practice new skills, like analyzing trends or adjusting strategies, it is natural that mental flexibility should grow. Adaptable thinkers identify patterns others miss. This cycle can transform uncertainty into progress and turn disruption into a steady rhythm of growth. (培养快速学习和适应的能力，以在未来的变化中保持领先。当挑战成为练习新技能的机会，比如分析趋势或调整策略时，思维的灵活性自然会提高。适应性强的思考者能发现别人错过的模式。这个循环可以将不确定性转化为进步，将干扰转化为稳定的增长节奏)”可知，上文说的是要培养快速学习和适应的能力，可推理出此处强调快速学习和适应能力的重要性以及带来的积极影响。G 项“Future success belongs to those who grow faster than their environment(未来的成功属于那些比他们所处环境成长得更快的人)”进一步总结了上文内容，指出具备快速学习和适应能力，比环境成长得更快的人才能获得未来的成功，符合语境。故选G项。 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。 Andrea Fuentes, the head coach of USA Artistic Swimming, is known for her successful career.

However, our ___36___ (prefer) strategies do tend to differ. In the more individualistic West, people love their families, ___37___ tend to rely more heavily on friendship. These friendships can become “chosen families” that help people grow. But these relationships depend on detailed face-to-face interactions, ___38___ we think is made difficult by social distancing. ___39___ (compare) Westerners with the Chinese, people find that Americans rely more on physical actions and expressions like head turns, facial expressions and eye contact ___40___ (support) communication. Westerners can also be more sensitive — and more likely to interpret a lack of positive body language as a lack of interest or ___41___ (involve). Because electronic media like Zoom can’t capture these sorts of subtle ___42___ (behavior) clues well, Americans now find ___43___ complex to maintain a sense of connection with others. In contrast, people in more collectivistic societies like China tend to meet their social needs with given or blood bond with schoolmates or family. Indeed, Asians can get a feeling ___44___ they become close from almost any kind of social exchange. Thus, connection is maintained ___45___ (easy) even during long periods of social distancing than expected. 【答案】36. preferred##preferable 37. but 38. which 39. Comparing 40. to support 41. involvement 42. behavioral 43. it 44. that 45. more easily 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章对比了东西方社会在满足社交需求时的不同策略。 【36题详解】 考查形容词。句意：然而，我们偏好的策略往往是不同的。此处需形容词在句中作定语修饰名词strategies（策略），prefer的形容词形式为preferred或preferable。故填preferred/preferable。 【37题详解】 考查连词。句意：在西方，人们爱他们的家庭，但往往更依赖友谊。这些友谊可以成为帮助人们成长的“被选中的家庭”。前句“爱家人”与后句“更依赖朋友”形成语义转折，需连词but连接两个并列分句。故填but。 【38题详解】 考查关系代词。句意：但这些关系依赖于详细的面对面互动，我们认为社交距离使这种互动变得困难。分析句子结构可知，该句为非限制性定语从句，从句中缺少宾语，因此可使用关系代词which引导非限制性定语从句，指代前文整句内容（“依赖面对面互动”这一事实）。故填which。 【39题详解】 考查非谓语。句意：对比西方人和中国人，人们发现美国人更依赖肢体动作和表情，比如转头、面部表情和眼神交流来支持交流。分析句子结构可知，句中已有谓语find，空处需使用非谓语形式，compare（对比）与主语people是逻辑上的主动关系，因此需使用过去分词在句中作状语。位于句首时首字母大写。故填Comparing。 40题详解】 考查非谓语。句意：对比西方人和中国人，人们发现美国人更依赖肢体动作和表情，比如转头、面部表情和眼神交流来支持交流。分析句子结构可知，空处可使用不定式表目的，说明“肢体动作和表情的用途是支持沟通”。故填to support。 【41题详解】 考查名词。句意：西方人也更敏感——他们更有可能把缺乏积极的肢体语言解释为缺乏兴趣或参与。空处需使用名词与“lack of interest”并列，由or连接，inolve（涉及）名词形式为inolvement。故填inolvement。 【42题详解】 考查形容词。句意：因为像Zoom这样的电子媒体不能很好地捕捉到这些微妙的行为线索，美国人现在发现与他人保持联系的感觉很复杂。分析句子结构可知，空处可使用形容词bahavioral（行为的）在句中作定语修饰名词clues。故填bahavioral。 【43题详解】 考查代词。句意：因为像Zoom这样的电子媒体不能很好地捕捉到这些微妙的行为线索，美国人现在发现与他人保持联系的感觉很复杂。分析句子结构可知，该句是固定结构find it + adj. + to do sth.，其中it为形式宾语，真正宾语是to maintain a sense of connection with others。故填it。 【44题详解】 考查连词。句意：事实上，亚洲人可以从几乎任何形式的社会交流中获得一种亲密感。分析句子结构可知，feeling为抽象名词，该句为同位语从句，解释“feeling”的具体内容，从句成份和意义都完整，因此可使用that引导同位语从句，不可省略。故填that。 【45题详解】 考查比较级。句意：因此，即使在长时间的社交距离中，联系也比预期的更容易保持。副词easily修饰动词maintained，后接than expected时表示比较，空处需使用其比较级形式。故填more easily。 第四部分：写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 46. 假如你是李华，上周你校举行了主题为“Taking responsibility”的成人仪式。你想将此次活动分享给你的英国朋友Jim。内容要点如下： 1.活动内容； 2.你的感想。 要求： 1. 词数80左右； 2.可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯； 3.开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数 Dear Jim, Last week, our school held a coming-of-age ceremony. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Jim, Last week, our school held a coming-of-age ceremony. With the theme of “Taking Responsibility”, the event was truly inspiring, featuring speeches from teachers and alumni about the significance of adulthood responsibility. We also participated in a symbolic pledge-taking ritual and watched videos showcasing students’ volunteer work. What moved me most was a group discussion where we shared personal stories about overcoming challenges through responsibility. This ceremony made me realize that growing up means more than gaining freedom—it’s about accountability and social contribution. I now feel more prepared to embrace this new chapter with courage and purpose. Looking forward to your thoughts! Yours, Li Hua 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文。要求考生以李华的身份，向英国朋友Jim分享学校举行的以“Taking responsibility”为主题的成人仪式的活动内容及个人感想。 【详解】1.词汇积累​ 令人鼓舞的：inspiring → encouraging 感动：move →touch 不仅仅：more than→ above and beyond 获得：gain →obtain 句式拓展​ 同义句改写 原句：I now feel more prepared to embrace this new chapter with courage and purpose. 拓展句：I now feel thoroughly equipped and emboldened to embrace this new chapter of my life with unwavering courage and a renewed sense of purpose. 【点睛】【高分句型1】What moved me most was a group discussion where we shared personal stories about overcoming challenges through responsibility.（使用了what引导的主语从句和where引导的定语从句）​ 【高分句型2】This ceremony made me realize that growing up means more than gaining freedom — it’s about accountability and social contribution.（使用了连接词that引导的宾语从句）​ 第二节（满分25分） 47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 In the heart of a thick forest, there lived a quiet man named Tom. He preferred listening to birdsong over talking with villagers. One chilly morning, while collecting firewood near a stream, he heard a soft cry. Pushing through bushes, he found a baby deer stuck in a deep ravine (峡谷). Its legs were shaking, and there were no signs of its mother nearby. Tom quickly tied his rope around a strong pine tree. “Don’t be scared,” he whispered as he climbed down the dirt walls. The young deer tried to move away, but Tom gently covered its eyes with his scarf to calm it. After securing the rope around the deer’s body, he climbed back up, his arms aching with effort. When they reached the top, sunlight broke through the clouds. The deer limped toward the trees but paused to push Tom’s hand with its nose gently before disappearing. To Tom’s surprise, the deer returned the next day — and every day after. It would watch him chop wood or bring him shiny acorns (橡子) in its mouth. When autumn leaves fell, Tom built a small shelter near his cabin using branches. The deer would sleep there during rainstorms, its ears twitching at every crackle of Tom’s fireplace. By winter, the deer had grown strong, often leading Tom to hidden berry bushes in the snow. Villagers sometimes saw them walking together at sunset, the deer stopping whenever Tom needed to rest his old knees. Though people called him “the lonely woodsman,” Tom knew better. In the quiet woods, he’d found a family that needed no words. One day, as Tom was chopping wood, he lost his footing and fell, hitting his head on a rock. Feeling faint and bleeding, he lay unconscious on the ground. The deer, who had been watching from a distance, immediately sensed something was wrong. 注意： 1.续写的词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 Panicked, the deer raced towards the village. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The villagers, alerted by the deer’s unusual behavior, quickly followed it back to Tom. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Panicked, the deer raced towards the village. It crashed through the snow-laden path where Tom usually walked, its hooves slipping on icy rocks. At the first wooden cottage, the deer pawed at the door with such force that young Emma screamed. When the baker opened the door, the deer grabbed his apron with its teeth, pulling him toward the forest. More villagers gathered, recognizing the deer that often trailed “the lonely woodsman.” They noticed the blood on its coat — Tom’s blood, now staining the pure white snow. The deer’s eyes finally made them understand. The villagers, alerted by the deer’s unusual behavior, quickly followed it back to Tom. They found him pale and shivering, his silver hair matted with blood. The doctor used branches from Tom’s shelter to make a stretcher, while the deer pressed its warm flank against Tom’s cold hand. By nightfall, Tom awoke in his cabin to the crackling fireplace and the deer’s steady breathing beside him. Villagers left soup and medicine at his door daily. That spring, when Tom returned to the stream, the deer walked beside him, so did a few curious villagers carry seedlings to plant. 【解析】 【导语】本文以事件发展过程为线索展开，讲述了独居在森林中的汤姆救了一只小鹿，之后小鹿与汤姆建立深厚情谊，当汤姆意外受伤昏迷时，小鹿向村民求救的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句“惊慌失措的小鹿向村庄跑去。”可知，第一段可描写小鹿如何在村庄引起村民注意，让村民意识到汤姆可能出事，并带领村民前往森林。 ②由第二段首句“村民们被小鹿不寻常的行为惊动，迅速跟着它回到汤姆身边。”可知，第二段可描写村民找到汤姆后的救援行动，以及汤姆醒来后，他与小鹿、村民之间关系的变化。 2. 续写线索：小鹿奔向村庄求救——小鹿引起村民注意——村民意识到情况不妙——村民跟随小鹿找到汤姆——村民救援汤姆——汤姆醒来——关系变化 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①打开：open/unlock ②抓住：grab/grasp ③明白：understand/ comprehend 情绪类 ①孤独的：lonely/isolated ②好奇：curious/inquisitive 【点睛】[高分句型1] It crashed through the snow-laden path where Tom usually walked, its hooves slipping on icy rocks.（使用了关系副词where引导的定语从句，以及独立主格结构） [高分句型2] When the baker opened the door, the deer grabbed his apron with its teeth, pulling him toward the forest.（使用了when引导时间状语从句以及现在分词短语作伴随状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024-2025 学年第二学期期中质量监测 高二英语试题 注 意 事 项 考生在答题前请认真阅读本注意事项及各题答题要求 1.本试卷共10页，满分150分，考试时间为120分钟。考试结束后，请将答题卷交回。 2.答题前，请您务必将自己的姓名、准考证号、座位号用0.5毫米黑色字迹签字笔填写在答题卷上。 3.请认真核对监考员在答题卡上所粘贴的条形码上的姓名、考试证号与你本人的是否相符。 4.作答选择题必须用2B铅笔把答题卡对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，请用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其它答案。作答非选择题必须用书写黑色字迹的0.5毫米的签字笔写在答题卷上的指定位置，在其它位置作答一律无效。 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） 听下面的5段对话。每段对话后都有一个小题，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.

The Congo River is home to hundreds of species of fish, many of which are indigenous to the river. Lake Victoria It is the largest lake in Africa and the chief reservoir (水库) of the Nile River. This freshwater body has an area of 26,828 square miles, making it one of the largest freshwater lakes in the world. The lake is primarily contained in the eastern African countries of Tanzania and Uganda, with a portion in Kenya. Ituri Forest This dense tropical rainforest is located in Central Africa, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The Ituri Forest covers some 24,300 square miles. It takes its name from the Ituri River, which flows through the forest. Some visitors are struck by the grandness of the rainforest; others find it oppressive (令人窒息的) — the famed author Joseph Conrad called the rainforest the “heart of darkness”. 1.

His stories brought new life to the comic book industry, transforming it from a small special interest into a worldwide hit that connected with adults and achieved a success no one had expected before. Growing up in poverty in Manhattan, Stanley Leiber had found comfort in literature. His love for the written word fueled his eagerness to write the Great American Novel — an idea every American writer had long been lost in figuring out the essence of America. However, his path led him to comic books, where he initially met with disrespect from the contemporary writers. Little did they know that when he penned his first comic script as “Stan Lee” in 1941, he was putting on his own superhero costume. His characters broke new ground by weaving everyday human struggles into superhuman abilities, creating a unique mix of recognizable emotions and extraordinary power. Reed Richards could stretch beyond limits when facing Doctor Doom, Peter Parker’s life was a mix of teenage. worries and Spider-Man’s heroics, and Ben Grimm’s tough appearance as the “Thing” hid a heart full of courage. Despite his success Stan Lee encountered challenges. Key cooperatives like Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko felt overlooked, and Marvel faced financial hardships during the 1980s and 1990s. His attempts at television were mostly unsuccessful, but Hollywood eventually held out its olive branch, particularly to the Spider-Man and X-Men series, giving him praise and wealth. Yet financial success was bittersweet. Stan Lee received no extra money for his creations and had to fight to be recognized and paid fairly. In 2001, he founded POW! Entertainment to gain more control over his work. Legal battles marked his final years as he sought to claim his rightful share of the world he helped build. Stan Lee’s legacy extends beyond his stories. He made short appearances in very popular films based on his characters, being a modest figure in the exciting events he had a part in creating. His life turned an ordinary man into a legend. 4. What did Stan Lee dream of originally? A. Developing the comic book industry. B. Shaking off poverty for the family. C. Becoming a superhero on the film scene. D. Claiming a place in the fiction world. 5. What’s the difference between Stan Lee’s characters and those that came before him? A. Their final missions were to rescue the real world. B. Their abilities were super and more extraordinary. C. They combined normal humans with superpowers. D. They mainly focused on solving humans’ problems. 6. What’s the turning point of weathering the storm for Marvel? A. Hollywood’s embrace. B. The attempts of television show. C. Key cooperatives’ withdrawal. D. The Spider-Man and X-Men series’ success. 7. Which of the following can best describe Stan Lee? A. Imaginative and innovative. B. Conservative and goal-driven. C. Clever and performance-loving. D. Generous and cooperative. C As the final term of the high school becomes ever closer, students start to prepare for university. However, the country’s 18-year-olds are not the only ones plotting out their hopes for higher education. More than 3,000 people aged over 50 applied to universities in 2019, and adult student applications are growing more than three times faster than those of school-leavers. But why are so many older adults coming back to the classroom? For a closer look, here is a third-year mature student answering this question. Having left the publishing industry in her fifties, Christina chose Nottingham Trent University to follow her passion for animal biology. She credits the experience as a transformative one for her self-confidence, both inside and outside the classroom. “I’m definitely a bit of a mum figure to some of my course mates, but that’s fine — friendship grows in different ways,” Christina said. “I’ve been invited to all the club nights and such which I haven’t really taken up, but I’ve done lots of volunteering, so there have been plenty of opportunities to broaden my knowledge and experience.” Christina’s husband is retired now and has taken on lots of the housework and the support to their autistic (患自闭症的) son so that she can study. Christina’s daughter has already graduated from university and she has been great in helping Christina get a perspective whenever Christina struggles a bit with the workload. Christina said that she would recommend adult education to any adult, even if it’s just college, so they can feel that connection and support. That’s what she missed — going in regularly and having a lot of people to talk to. Especially if people’s confidence has been knocked over the years — they need that support from others who see them as a person and not just as a mother or a wife. Adult education has really given Christina confidence to speak up again, to join in and be part of society. She was shrinking inside the little world of her house. But now she feels a lot more 3D. 8. What do the statistics in paragraph 1 show? A. More students are dropping out of high school. B. There are many older people going to university. C. Age can improve the learning abilities and interest. D. The young have less interest in learning than the senior. 9. Why does the author show the example of Christina? A. To stress the necessity of earning a degree. B. To show ways to rebuild one’s self-confidence. C. To explain reasons for adults attending college. D. To give females tips on balancing study and life. 10. Why does Christina recommend adult education to others? A. It is beneficial to connect with young people. B. Higher education can improve one’s confidence. C. People need to learn more knowledge to get promotion. D. University courses can improve one’s communication skills. 11. What does the text mainly convey? A. Home is where everyone is treated equally. B. Self-confidence comes from the family’s support. C. Scholarship wears no wrinkles, nor learning grey hairs. D. Universities are the crucial stage where females perform. D Nearly half of all jobs are at risk from automation and computers in the next 20 years. The next generation will need new skills to survive in an AI world. Literacy, numeracy, science and languages are all important. Still, they share one thing in common: computers will be far better than humans at processing these forms of explicit (显性的) knowledge. The risk is that the education system will be churning out humans who are no more than second-rate computers, so if the focus of education continues to be on passing on explicit knowledge across the generations, we will be in trouble. The AI challenge is about building skills that AI cannot imitate. These are essential human skills such as teamwork, leadership, listening, dealing with people and managing crises and conflict. These are all forms of tacit (默示的) knowledge, not explicit knowledge. They are know-how skills, not know-what skills. Know-what is easy to spread across generations and is easy to measure. Know-how skills are the opposite. The employability skills gap is already large, and AI will only make it larger. University technical colleges explicitly address employability, focusing on developing engineers, technicians and future scientists. “Studio schools” started in 2010 with the intent of blending vocational (职业的) and academic education with work experience. Of the 50 schools started, 16 have already announced plans to close. Evaluation and league tables are a barrier to success. The school accountability framework keeps changing, but there is always some variation in measuring how well schools transfer know-what skills. Tom Ravenscroft challenges this approach, “We are doubling down on the idea that if we get children to know things and repeat them in a certain way in an exam, then we are setting them up for success in life.” Success depends on equipping the next generation with human skills that even AI cannot imitate: creativity, innovation, and dealing with conflict and uncertainty. We are not ready for this. We have not even started to get prepared. 12. What does the underlined word “churning out” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Ranking fairly. B. Teaching to perfection. C Inspiring with great care. D. Producing in large quantities. 13. What is the main focus of “studio schools”? A. Theory & Practice. B. Skills & Development. C. Basic knowledge. D. Professional Training. 14. What is the author’s attitude towards the current education system in relation to AI? A. Optimistic. B. Critical. C. Indifferent. D. Supportive. 15. What does the text mainly talk about? A. The limitations of the traditional education system. B. The function of AI in reforming the education system. C. The urgency of adapting education to the AI challenge. D. The pioneering project on combining education reform and AI. 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。 A recent study showed that people are also more willing than ever to quit their companies, even without another job lined up. Whether you are the one leaving or remaining, your career stability is undoubtedly affected. ___16___ Here are four tips for you. Take advantage of uncertain times to sharpen your long-term career plans. Periods of change allow you to analyze strengths, test interests, and identify gaps so that decisions match with evolving markets. Meanwhile instability can be a motivation to improve your ability to adapt and succeed in your career. ___17___ Regularly revisiting this plan turns unpredictability into clarity, ensuring each challenge actively shapes a future rooted in purpose. ___18___ Think about how career advancement has always been about building your resume (简历) with more activities and quantifiable results in each experience.

Focus on process, not outcomes, and your passion will find you. By prioritizing daily learning and creative problem-solving, you build skills naturally. ___19___ For instance, curiosity-driven projects often lead to unexpected yet meaningful goals. Over time, consistent effort sharpens self-awareness. This gradual process transforms uncertainty into a path where purpose emerges naturally. Develop the ability to learn quickly and adapt to stay ahead of future changes.

Do you want to weather the uncertainty? C. This approach lets you explore interests without pressure. D. Uncover who you need to be, not just what you need to do. E.

However, our ___36___ (prefer) strategies do tend to differ. In the more individualistic West, people love their families, ___37___ tend to rely more heavily on friendship.

He preferred listening to birdsong over talking with villagers. One chilly morning, while collecting firewood near a stream, he heard a soft cry. Pushing through bushes, he found a baby deer stuck in a deep ravine (峡谷). Its legs were shaking, and there were no signs of its mother nearby. Tom quickly tied his rope around a strong pine tree. “Don’t be scared,” he whispered as he climbed down the dirt walls. The young deer tried to move away, but Tom gently covered its eyes with his scarf to calm it. After securing the rope around the deer’s body, he climbed back up, his arms aching with effort. When they reached the top, sunlight broke through the clouds. The deer limped toward the trees but paused to push Tom’s hand with its nose gently before disappearing. To Tom’s surprise, the deer returned the next day — and every day after. It would watch him chop wood or bring him shiny acorns (橡子) in its mouth. When autumn leaves fell, Tom built a small shelter near his cabin using branches. The deer would sleep there during rainstorms, its ears twitching at every crackle of Tom’s fireplace. By winter, the deer had grown strong, often leading Tom to hidden berry bushes in the snow. Villagers sometimes saw them walking together at sunset, the deer stopping whenever Tom needed to rest his old knees. Though people called him “the lonely woodsman,” Tom knew better. In the quiet woods, he’d found a family that needed no words. One day, as Tom was chopping wood, he lost his footing and fell, hitting his head on a rock. Feeling faint and bleeding, he lay unconscious on the ground. The deer, who had been watching from a distance, immediately sensed something was wrong. 注意： 1.续写的词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 Panicked, the deer raced towards the village. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The villagers, alerted by the deer’s unusual behavior, quickly followed it back to Tom. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
