But when I became the editor of our high school newspaper, I decided that I wanted to become a serious news reporter. In 2012, I went to Fudan University and studied there for four years. I got a great degree, only to find that my first job still wasn’t easy. There is a lot of competition in this industry! Eventually, I got a position writing for an online magazine for teenagers. It was a relief to get a job, but I must admit, I wasn’t very excited at first. I didn’t want to write about clothes and music. I wanted to write about the environment! But soon I discovered how smart and caring today’s teenagers are. When I suggested writing a report about pollution, my boss encouraged me straight away. I now write a regular feature about the environment, which is very popular with our readers. Nowadays, I’m proud to be teaching young people about green issues. They are the future of our planet, after all! 第二部分 阅读(共两节, 满分50分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分, 满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Book Review — The Snake-Stone by Berlie Doherty The setting: Urban England (the cities), but also rural England (the countryside) including remote English villages. The theme: The main theme is a teenage search of self-discovery, in this case the search for a mother from whom the hero was separated at an early age. Its other concerns are love, getting on with others, being persistent and courageous and trying to deal with doubts, troubles and worries. As the book moves to a close, James’ swimming coach says to him: “You are not like a kid obeying instructions any more. You are diving like a young man who knows where he is going.” The characters: James is the hero of the story. He is a championship diver, and has a comfortable life with his foster parents. Yet he also has the qualities to take him on a long journey to find his birth mother. The other characters in The Snake-Stone, James’ parents, his diving instructor, best friend, the villagers, people he meets on his journey, are pictured realistically. The turning point: The turning point in the story comes while James’ foster parents are away in London, and he wonders about the identity of his birth mother. The only clue he has is a fossil, “the snake stone” which she left behind along with a note on which she had written: “Take good care of Sammie.” It was written on a torn envelope with parts of an address still there. The journey: Instead of going to London, James decides to find his birth mother. With help from his geography teacher, James sets out for the remote country village where his mother might be found. James has painful, challenging, but also humorous and happy travels. The mother he finally meets, Anne, has a minor yet powerful voice in the novel. He comes to understand why she left him at a stranger’s door fifteen years before. Although the meeting is not long, it leaves him with a feeling of completeness. As a journey of self-discovery, The Snake-Stone also provides its readers with a happy ending. Its hero says, on returning to his foster parents, “I was home.” 21. What is the main theme of the novel? A. Life with foster parents. B. Life in the world of diving. C. A journey of self-discovery. D. A travel around the country. 22. What do the coach’s words in Paragraph 2 suggest? A. James is a successful diver. B. James is a hopeful swimmer. C. James is an outgoing young man. D. James is an independent young man. 23. It can be concluded that James’ journey is ________. A. worthwhile B. boring C. comfortable D. disappointing 【答案】21. C 22. D 23. A 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇应用文。文章为针对Berlie Doherty的《蛇石》的书评，文章从背景，主题，角色、情节转折点，以及其主要情节“发现之旅”方面展开介绍小说。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据The theme的第一句“The main theme is a teenage search of self-discovery, in this case the search for a mother from whom the hero was separated at an early age. (一个青少年对自我发现的探索，在这种情况下，主人公寻找早年就与之分离的母亲。)”可知，该书主题体现在James寻找生身母亲的征途，也是战胜自我获得人生真谛的发现之旅。故选C项。 【22题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段The theme中“As the book moves to a close, James’ swimming coach says to him: ‘You are not like a kid obeying instructions any more. You are diving like a young man who knows where he is going.’ (在书快结束的时候，James的游泳教练对他说：‘你不再像小孩一样，就知道循规蹈矩。你在探索，像找定方向的年轻人。’)”可知，教练认为James不再像小孩一样循规蹈矩，而是会自己找定方向，由此可知，第二段中教练的话说明James是一个独立的有个性的年轻人。故选D项。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据The journey中“He comes to understand why she left him at a stranger’s door fifteen years before. Although the meeting is not long, it leaves him with a feeling of completeness. As a journey of self-discovery, The Snake-Stone also provides its readers with a happy ending. Its hero says, on returning to his foster parents, ‘I was home.’ (他开始明白为什么15年前她把他遗弃在一个陌生人的门口。虽然会面时间不长，但它给他留下了一种完整的感觉。作为一段自我发现的旅程，《蛇石》也为读者提供了一个圆满的结局。书中的主人公在回到养父母身边时说：‘我回家了。’)”可知，James最后了解了当年的真相，寻母征途结束，James也完成了自己发现之旅，结尾是快乐的，James重又回到了养父母那里，可推知，James的旅程是值得的。故选A项。 B Get up at 6 am, arrive at the hospital one hour earlier to help patients check in, and accompany patients during consultations… In recent years, “patient escorts” has emerged as a new industry, and those who have taken on this career are known as “people who sell time”, 26-year-old Zhang Tian is one of them.

At first, she was a little worried that her video would go unnoticed. However, after she uploaded the video, it got over 100 likes and she received her first ever offer as a patient escort.

Since she had never engaged in this kind of work before, she spent two days in major hospitals in Wuhan, in order to familiarize herself with all the departments on different floors, as well as the processes of medical consultation and preparation for surgery. (她浏览了许多平台，阅读了大量信息，发现确实存在一定的病人陪护需求，尤其是老人、儿童和孕妇。由于之前从未从事过这类工作，她花了两天时间在武汉各大医院奔波，以熟悉不同楼层的各个科室，以及会诊和手术准备的流程。)”及全文可知，张天耐心学习这类工作的流程、耐心护送患者和悉心照料患者，可以表现出她具有努力工作，考虑周到的美好品质。故选A。 C Researchers say they have translated the meaning of gestures that wild chimpanzees (黑猩猩) use to communicate. They say wild chimps communicate 19 specific messages to one another with a “vocabulary” of 66 gestures. The scientists discovered this by following and filming groups of chimps in Uganda and examining more than 5,000 incidents of these meaningful exchanges. Dr Catherine Hobaiter, who led the research, said that this was the only form of intentional communication to be recorded in the animal kingdom. Only humans and chimps, she said, had a system of communication where they deliberately sent a message to another group member. “That’s what’s so amazing about chimp gestures,” she said. “They’re the only thing that looks like human language in that respect.” Although previous research has shown that apes and monkeys can understand complex information from another animal’s call, the animals do not appear to use their voices intentionally to communicate messages. This was a significant difference between calls and gestures, Dr Hobaiter said. Chimps will check to see if they have the attention of the animal with which they wish to communicate. In one case, a mother presents her foot to her crying baby, signaling: “Climb on me.” The youngster immediately jumps on to its mothers back and they travel off together. “The big message from this study is that there is another species (物种) out there. that is meaningful in its communication, so that’s not unique to humans,” said Dr Hobaiter. Dr Susanne Shultz, an evolutionary biologist from the University of Manchester, said the study was praiseworthy in seeking to enrich our knowledge of the evolution of human language. But, she added, the results were “a little disappointing”. “The vagueness of the gesture meanings suggests either that the chimps have little to communicate, or we are still missing a lot of the information contained in their gestures and actions,” she said. “Moreover, the meanings seem to not go beyond what other animal convey with non-verbal communication. So, it seems the gulf remains. ” 28. What do chimps and humans have in common according to Dr Hobaiter? A. Memorizing specific words. B. Understanding complex information. C. Using voices to communicate. D. Communicating messages on purpose. 29. What did Dr Shultz think of the study? A. It was well designed but poorly conducted. B. It was a good try but the findings were limited. C. It was inspiring but the evidence was unreliable. D. It was a failure but the methods deserved praise. 30. What does the underlined word “gulf” in the last paragraph mean? A. Difference. B. Conflict. C. Balance. D. Connection. 31. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A Chimpanzee behaviour study achieved a breakthrough B. Chimpanzees developed specific communication skills C. Chimpanzees: the smartest species in the animal kingdom D. Chimpanzee language: communication gestures translated 【答案】28. D 29. B 30. A 31. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家们通过跟踪和拍摄乌干达的黑猩猩群，翻译出了黑猩猩用来交流的手势含义。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Only humans and chimps, she said, had a system of communication where they deliberately sent a message to another group member.(她说，只有人类和黑猩猩有一个交流系统，它们故意向其他成员发送信息)”可知，根据Dr Hobaiter，黑猩猩和人类的共同点在于故意传递信息。故选D。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段中的“Dr Susanne Shultz, an evolutionary biologist from the University of Manchester, said the study was praiseworthy in seeking to enrich our knowledge of the evolution of human language. But, she added, the results were a little disappointing.(曼彻斯特大学的进化生物学家苏珊娜·舒尔茨博士说，这项研究是值得称赞的，它试图丰富我们对人类语言进化的知识。但是，她补充说，结果有点令人失望)”可知，这项研究是一个好的尝试，但是发现的结果是有限的。故选B。 【30题详解】 词句猜测题。首先根据第三段中的“They’re the only thing that looks like human language in that respect.(在这方面，它们是唯一看起来像人类语言的东西)”可知，黑猩猩的手势交流很像我们人类语言的交流方式。但是根据最后一段中的“Moreover, the meanings seem to not go beyond what other animals convey with non-verbal communications.(此外，这些含义似乎并不超越其他动物通过非语言交流所传达的信息)”可知，黑猩猩手势的交流方式还是和我们语言的交流方式存在不同的，也就是“So, it seems the gulf remains.(所以，看来差异依然存在)”。由此可知，划线词gulf与difference意思接近。故选A。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段的“Researchers say they have translated the meaning of gestures that wild chimpanzees use to communicate.(研究人员表示，他们已经翻译出了野生黑猩猩用来交流的手势的含义)”以及文章对这方面的讨论可知，文章主要讲科学家们对黑猩猩手势的研究及一些成果。由此可知，D项Chimpanzee language: communication gestures translated(黑猩猩语言：翻译出来的交流手势)适合作本文最佳标题。故选D。 D Recently I had the opportunity to reconnect with an old friend, Chris Besse. One of the things I always admired about Chris was the way that he saw education as a mission, not a job. Chris called me last week to tell me he is CEO of a company called EdgeMakers, which is a new company that is bringing one of the missing ingredients(要素)to education: innovation. I am always calling for changes in the way we educate our children. It is important that we prepare our children for a different economy and a different world. Employers of the future will demand creativity from their employees. A tech company owned by a friend of mine has grown from a handful of employees to over 100 in the last seven years, and he still has 90 percent of all the employees he hired. He doesn’t pay more than other tech firms. He doesn’t have a Disney-like campus. What he does is pose interesting problems, not get involved in the solutions and allow employees to get to the solution in any way they want. His employees stay because they are motivated and interested. This is the definition of modern industry and in many ways, the future of education. Successful employers now encourage innovation. Schools should create an innovative environment. But it appears that our current education system has a long way to go to achieve this. The good news is that some schools are making changes. California and Texas just approved EdgeMakers’ courses for use in their high schools. According to John Kao, founder of EdgeMakers, “Creativity is inside every student, waiting to be freed. But without intentional programs in our schools, creativity is underdeveloped. We cannot allow this to continue, as our society is faced with problems that appear unsolvable unless we innovate to find solutions. Our goal with these courses is to combine students’ natural creativity with purpose, helping them develop as innovators whose work is truly meaningful and makes a difference to issues that matter.” 32. What is the purpose of the first paragraph? A. To remember a friend. B. To bring up a topic. C. To recommend a course. D. To explain a phenomenon. 33. What do the author and Chris have similar views on? A. The future of job searching. B. The major mission of their company. C. The role of parents in kids’ development. D. The importance of innovation in education. 34. How does the author’s friend keep his employees? A. By offering high salaries. B. By providing a comfortable workplace. C. By creating an environment of innovation. D. By helping them solve problems. 35. Which statement will John Kao agree with? A. Natural creativity can be enhanced. B. Intentional teaching should be avoided in schools. C. EdgeMakers’ courses have proved to be efficient. D. We should pay less attention to unsolvable problems. 【答案】32. B 33. D 34. C 35. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议问。通过朋友公司的情况，作者认为在教育中注重创新能力的发展和培养是非常重要的。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句“Chris called me last week to tell me he is CEO of a company called EdgeMakers, which is a new company that is bringing one of the missing ingredients to education: innovation.(克里斯上周打电话给我，告诉我他是一家名为EdgeMakers的公司的首席执行官，这是一家新公司，它为教育带来了一个缺失的要素：创新)”和第二段“I am always calling for changes in the way we educate our children. It is important that we prepare our children for a different economy and a different world. Employers of the future will demand creativity from their employees.(我一直呼吁改变我们教育孩子的方式。让我们的孩子为一个不同的经济和不同的世界做好准备是很重要的。未来的雇主将要求员工具有创造力)”以及下文对创造力的重要性的阐述可知，第一段的目的是引入主题。故选B。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句“Chris called me last week to tell me he is CEO of a company called EdgeMakers, which is a new company that is bringing one of the missing ingredients to education: innovation.(克里斯上周打电话给我，告诉我他是一家名为EdgeMakers的公司的首席执行官，这是一家新公司，它为教育带来了一个缺失的要素：创新。)”和第二段“I am always calling for changes in the way we educate our children. It is important that we prepare our children for a different economy and a different world.

As the old saying goes, with age comes maturity. Older people have wisdom about how to navigate (应对) life smoothly. They have already passed crucial milestones like building a career, buying a home, getting married, starting a family, and maybe even retiring. ___37___ Plus, intergenerational friendships not only benefit you, but they can also benefit the other person. ___38___For example, you can teach them new technological trends or help them with pop culture references. Friendship is a two-way street where both sides benefit and bonds are strengthened over time. ___39___ Allowing friends to be more supportive of one another rather than always comparing and competing with one another is a must in every circle of friends. Friendships between generations are not competitive because they are at various phases of life. Older friends tend to communicate more honestly. Now I am not saying having friendships with honesty will be more lacking, but have you ever had a conversation with someone older?___40___ Older individuals are at an age where they no longer feel the need to impress people and they definitely are not afraid to share their opinions, for better or for worse!

In those days in Pakistan, there were limited options (选择): becoming a doctor or an engineer, or entering the financial world after getting a business degree. I wasn’t interested in engineering, so I was left with medicine or business. I couldn’t decide. My uncle, an influential person in the family, suggested that I do a work placement to experience it for a month in an international company followed by a month in a hospital. After that, I could make a decision. It seemed like a brilliant idea. I was accepted for a month’s placement at a foreign bank in Karachi. I got a feel for how the world of finance functioned, made new friends, and generally enjoyed the mostly easy-going work surroundings. The month passed rapidly, and soon I began working at a leading hospital in Karachi. The experience couldn’t have been more different. The hospital had an intense (紧张的) environment. The days started early (at 7 am, compared to 9 am at the bank), and were heavy with endless duties. And the night calls! This was crazy, working all day, through the night, and again the next day. I began thinking about my two experiences. The bank had offered a more relaxing atmosphere (氛围), better working hours and less stress. The hospital was full of excitement and unpredictability, but the studying and training was difficult. It seemed that the business option was going to win out. Near the end of my month at the hospital, I was driving home after an especially busy night call. In front of me was a public bus, with college students sitting on the top. As the driver weaved through (穿梭) traffic, I could see the boys shaking from side to side. 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。 Suddenly, a boy fell off the back of the bus. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day, when I went to hospital to see the boy, all his family got up, with grateful smiles on their faces. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 Suddenly, a boy fell off the back of the bus. He hit the road face down and rolled over. He lay motionless in the middle of the road as the bus drove away quickly. The cars directly behind the bus braked to avoid the boy, but none stopped. I knew that if the boy was bleeding into his brain, he would die soon. I stopped my car. I lifted his unconscious body into my car with the help of some passers-by, and then raced back to the hospital. Since I wasn’t allowed into the operation room, I drove home. The next day, when I went to hospital to see the boy, all his family got up, with grateful smiles on their faces. The mother held my hands and started weeping. “Son, you are an angel,” she repeated over and over again. After comforting her, I went over to the boy. He managed to smile and squeezed my hand. No words were spoken between us — none were needed. I spent the rest of the day in a state of excitement, the most fabulous mood I had ever experienced. I knew what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者高中毕业后面临职业道路选择，在医学和商业之间犹豫，作者无法决定。作者的叔叔建议作者在国际公司待一个月，然后在医院待一个月，之后做出决定。在医院的一个月快结束时，作者在开车回家的路上看到一辆在车流中穿行的公共汽车，学生们在车上晃来晃去。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“突然，一个男孩从公共汽车后面掉了下来。”可知，第一段可描写男孩摔倒在路上，作者在路人的帮助下，将他抬上车，送至医院，然后作者开车回家。 ②由第二段首句内容“第二天，当我去医院看望这个男孩时，他的家人都站了起来，脸上挂着感激的笑容。”可知，第二段可描写男孩的母亲表达感激，作者感觉兴奋，并知道以后自己想要做什么。 2.续写线索：男孩掉下公共汽车——作者停车送男孩去医院——作者开车回家——作者去探望男孩——男孩的家人表达感激——作者感觉兴奋——作者确定以后想做什么 3.词汇激活 行类 ①停下来：stop/come to a halt ②赶回：race back/rush back/return in a hurry ③经历：experience/go through/undergo 情绪类 ①兴奋：excitement/thrill ②绝妙的：fabulous/wonderful 【点睛】【高分句型1】He lay motionless in the middle of the road as the bus drove away quickly.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句） 【高分句型2】I knew that if the boy was bleeding into his brain, he would die soon.（运用了that引导的宾语从句，if引导的条件状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 湖北省水果湖高级中学2024-2025学年高二年级3月月考 英语试卷 2025.03 1. 本试卷共分10页。满分150分。考试用时120分钟。 2. 答题前，考生务必将学校、姓名写在答题卡上，正确填涂考试号。答案涂、写在答题卡上指定位置。考试结束后交回答题卡。 第Ⅰ卷 选择题 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What is the man’s main form of exercise now?

You are diving like a young man who knows where he is going.” The characters: James is the hero of the story. He is a championship diver, and has a comfortable life with his foster parents. Yet he also has the qualities to take him on a long journey to find his birth mother. The other characters in The Snake-Stone, James’ parents, his diving instructor, best friend, the villagers, people he meets on his journey, are pictured realistically. The turning point: The turning point in the story comes while James’ foster parents are away in London, and he wonders about the identity of his birth mother. The only clue he has is a fossil, “the snake stone” which she left behind along with a note on which she had written: “Take good care of Sammie.” It was written on a torn envelope with parts of an address still there. The journey: Instead of going to London, James decides to find his birth mother. With help from his geography teacher, James sets out for the remote country village where his mother might be found. James has painful, challenging, but also humorous and happy travels. The mother he finally meets, Anne, has a minor yet powerful voice in the novel. He comes to understand why she left him at a stranger’s door fifteen years before. Although the meeting is not long, it leaves him with a feeling of completeness.

September 4 was a lucky day for Zhang Tian. On this day, Zhang Tian saw a video about patient escorts on a short video platform. The daily routine of patient escorts shown in the video fascinated her and gradually inspired her to take this on as a business. She browsed through many platforms and read multiple information and found there indeed exists a certain demand for patient escorts, especially for the elderly, children, and pregnant women. Since she had never engaged in this kind of work before, she spent two days in major hospitals in Wuhan, in order to familiarize herself with all the departments on different floors, as well as the processes of medical consultation and preparation for surgery. After preliminary preparatory (预备的) work, Zhang Tian posted a video of myself-introduction on major social platforms, talking about the help and services a patient escort provides, as well as some tips for a quick and convenient medical consultation. At first, she was a little worried that her video would go unnoticed. However, after she uploaded the video, it got over 100 likes and she received her first ever offer as a patient escort. The memory of her first task is still alive and fresh in her mind. She received a phone call on September 9 from a man whose father was seriously ill and might need surgery. He wanted Zhang Tian to accompany his father through his consultation and treatment.” Zhang Tian made full preparations before meeting her first client and did a very good job despite her nervousness. “Later, the family expressed their gratitude to me over and over again, which warmed my heart and gave me a sense of achievement.” Zhang Tian said. 24. What do patient escorts do? A They assist doctors in hospitals. B. They arrive at hospitals early to check in. C. They take on this career to sell their time. D. They help patients get treated in hospitals. 25. September 4 was a lucky day for Zhang Tian because ______. A. she enjoyed seeing an interesting video B. she got inspiration for her own career C. she found a demand for medical workers D. she was well received on social platforms 26. How did Zhang Tian get her first client? A. She got familiar with the routine work in hospitals. B. She spent two days in major hospitals to meet patients. C. Her video on social platforms attracted her first client. D. The man’s father was seriously ill and might need a surgery. 27. Which of the following words best describe Zhang Tian? A. Hardworking and considerate. B. Humorous and careful. C. Ambitious and imaginative. D. Talkative and positive. C Researchers say they have translated the meaning of gestures that wild chimpanzees (黑猩猩) use to communicate. They say wild chimps communicate 19 specific messages to one another with a “vocabulary” of 66 gestures. The scientists discovered this by following and filming groups of chimps in Uganda, and examining more than 5,000 incidents of these meaningful exchanges. Dr Catherine Hobaiter, who led the research, said that this was the only form of intentional communication to be recorded in the animal kingdom. Only humans and chimps, she said, had a system of communication where they deliberately sent a message to another group member. “That’s what’s so amazing about chimp gestures,” she said. “They’re the only thing that looks like human language in that respect.” Although previous research has shown that apes and monkeys can understand complex information from another animal’s call, the animals do not appear to use their voices intentionally to communicate messages. This was a significant difference between calls and gestures, Dr Hobaiter said. Chimps will check to see if they have the attention of the animal with which they wish to communicate. In one case, a mother presents her foot to her crying baby, signaling: “Climb on me.” The youngster immediately jumps on to its mothers back and they travel off together. “The big message from this study is that there is another species (物种) out there. that is meaningful in its communication, so that’s not unique to humans,” said Dr Hobaiter. Dr Susanne Shultz, an evolutionary biologist from the University of Manchester, said the study was praiseworthy in seeking to enrich our knowledge of the evolution of human language. But, she added, the results were “a little disappointing”. “The vagueness of the gesture meanings suggests either that the chimps have little to communicate, or we are still missing a lot of the information contained in their gestures and actions,” she said. “Moreover, the meanings seem to not go beyond what other animal convey with non-verbal communication. So, it seems the gulf remains. ” 28. What do chimps and humans have in common according to Dr Hobaiter? A. Memorizing specific words. B. Understanding complex information. C. Using voices to communicate. D. Communicating messages on purpose. 29. What did Dr Shultz think of the study? A. It was well designed but poorly conducted. B. It was a good try but the findings were limited. C. It was inspiring but the evidence was unreliable. D. It was a failure but the methods deserved praise. 30. What does the underlined word “gulf” in the last paragraph mean? A. Difference. B. Conflict. C. Balance. D. Connection. 31 Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Chimpanzee behaviour study achieved a breakthrough B. Chimpanzees developed specific communication skills C. Chimpanzees: the smartest species in the animal kingdom D. Chimpanzee language: communication gestures translated D Recently I had the opportunity to reconnect with an old friend, Chris Besse. One of the things I always admired about Chris was the way that he saw education as a mission, not a job. Chris called me last week to tell me he is CEO of a company called EdgeMakers, which is a new company that is bringing one of the missing ingredients(要素)to education: innovation. I am always calling for changes in the way we educate our children. It is important that we prepare our children for a different economy and a different world. Employers of the future will demand creativity from their employees. A tech company owned by a friend of mine has grown from a handful of employees to over 100 in the last seven years, and he still has 90 percent of all the employees he hired. He doesn’t pay more than other tech firms. He doesn’t have a Disney-like campus. What he does is pose interesting problems, not get involved in the solutions and allow employees to get to the solution in any way they want. His employees stay because they are motivated and interested. This is the definition of modern industry and in many ways, the future of education. Successful employers now encourage innovation. Schools should create an innovative environment. But it appears that our current education system has a long way to go to achieve this. The good news is that some schools are making changes. California and Texas just approved EdgeMakers’ courses for use in their high schools. According to John Kao, founder of EdgeMakers, “Creativity is inside every student, waiting to be freed. But without intentional programs in our schools, creativity is underdeveloped. We cannot allow this to continue, as our society is faced with problems that appear unsolvable unless we innovate to find solutions. Our goal with these courses is to combine students’ natural creativity with purpose, helping them develop as innovators whose work is truly meaningful and makes a difference to issues that matter.” 32. What is the purpose of the first paragraph? A. To remember a friend. B. To bring up a topic. C. To recommend a course. D. To explain a phenomenon. 33. What do the author and Chris have similar views on? A. The future of job searching. B. The major mission of their company. C. The role of parents in kids’ development. D. The importance of innovation in education. 34. How does the author’s friend keep his employees? A. By offering high salaries. B. By providing a comfortable workplace. C. By creating an environment of innovation. D. By helping them solve problems. 35. Which statement will John Kao agree with? A. Natural creativity can be enhanced. B. Intentional teaching should be avoided in schools. C. EdgeMakers’ courses have proved to be efficient. D. We should pay less attention to unsolvable problems. 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。 Although it is great to have friends our own age, there are also some pretty good benefits to making older friends. ___36___ Having older friends provides insight and wisdom.

In those days in Pakistan, there were limited options (选择): becoming a doctor or an engineer, or entering the financial world after getting a business degree. I wasn’t interested in engineering, so I was left with medicine or business. I couldn’t decide. My uncle, an influential person in the family, suggested that I do a work placement to experience it for a month in an international company followed by a month in a hospital. After that, I could make a decision. It seemed like a brilliant idea. I was accepted for a month’s placement at a foreign bank in Karachi. I got a feel for how the world of finance functioned, made new friends, and generally enjoyed the mostly easy-going work surroundings. The month passed rapidly, and soon I began working at a leading hospital in Karachi. The experience couldn’t have been more different. The hospital had an intense (紧张的) environment. The days started early (at 7 am, compared to 9 am at the bank), and were heavy with endless duties. And the night calls! This was crazy, working all day, through the night, and again the next day. I began thinking about my two experiences. The bank had offered a more relaxing atmosphere (氛围), better working hours and less stress. The hospital was full of excitement and unpredictability, but the studying and training was difficult. It seemed that the business option was going to win out. Near the end of my month at the hospital, I was driving home after an especially busy night call. In front of me was a public bus, with college students sitting on the top. As the driver weaved through (穿梭) traffic, I could see the boys shaking from side to side. 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。 Suddenly, a boy fell off the back of the bus. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day, when I went to hospital to see the boy, all his family got up, with grateful smiles on their faces. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$英语听力模拟。试题第一节。听下面5段对话，每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。How do you stay fit, David?

Have you heard anything about that office job you applied for? No, but I only sent the letter a week ago. I wouldn't expect the call back yet. I'll email the company if I haven't heard anything by next week. Oh, no, I just dropped my phone in the toilet. I've just bought IT last month, and IT costs me eight hundred and ninety nine dollars. Don't worry, most phones nowadays can survive a bit of water. Just don't turn IT on again until it's completely dry. Look, if we change plans in shanghai, we will only have a short weight for our next flight. Okay, great. I was worried we'd have to spend the night sleeping on the floor of the airport.
