In today’s lesson, I’d like to talk about ways to save energy. We use energy every day. It is important not to waste the energy we have. How can we save energy? Do you stand in front of the fridge with the door open, trying to decide what you want for a snack? Doing this makes the air in the fridge warm up and then the fridge uses extra energy to make it cold again. We can save energy by opening and closing the door quickly. Another way to save energy is to turn off lights when they are not needed and use natural light during the day. Driving cars also uses a lot of energy. It’s a good idea to use public transportation, ride a bike, or walk instead of always using your car. Doing these things helps save energy and is better for the environment. Can you think of some other ways to save energy? I’ll give you a few minutes to discuss them in groups. And then we’ll watch a video. OK, let’s get started. 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 The Maryland Department of Natural Resources invites everyone to come and celebrate the yearly Maple Syrup (糖浆) Festival at Cunningham Falls State Park, on the weekends of March 9-10 and March 16-17. During this event, held yearly for more than 50 years, guests can gather around the Sugar Shack to watch sugar makers make syrup the traditional way against the background of Maryland’ s woodlands. Live music will fill the air as Maryland-made maple syrup is served over a hot pancake breakfast. Guests can also see exactly how park workers collect sap (树液). And everyone can try their hand at the great pancake race trying to flip (快速翻转) a pancake on the run ahead of other competitors. Events take place each day from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. A sign language translator will be stationed at the Sugar Shack on both Sundays. Syrup-making will take place every hour on the hour. A $5 fee per person is requested at the entrance. Breakfast is available during the festival hours for an extra cost. The park opens at 9 a.m. and closes at sunset. Pets are not allowed. Visitors may contact 301-271-7574 for more information. 21. What can visitors do in the race? A. Harvest sap. B. Dance to music. C. Serve maple syrup. D. Turn over a pancake. 22.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文是应用文。文章是对加拿大枫糖节传统活动的介绍。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“And everyone can try their hand at the great pancake race trying to flip (快速翻转) a pancake on the run ahead of other competitors.(每个人都可以在伟大的煎饼比赛中一试身手，试图在其他参赛者之前翻转煎饼。)”等内容可知，煎饼赛跑活动要求参赛者一边翻转薄饼一边快速奔跑。故选D项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Events take place each day from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.( 活动每天上午10点至下午2点举行。)”即活动在每天上午 10 点到下午 2 点举行，14:00是下午2 点，所以可以在10:00 到14:00 参加节日活动。故选A项。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“During this event, held yearly for more than 50 years, guests can gather around the Sugar Shack to watch sugar makers make syrup the traditional way against the background of Maryland’ s woodlands.( 这个活动每年举行一次，已经有50多年的历史了。在这个活动中，客人们可以聚集在“糖棚”周围，以马里兰州的林地为背景，观看制糖工人用传统的方式制作糖浆。)”说明这个节日已经举办了 50 多年，是一个由来已久的庆祝活动。故选D项。 B Betty Reid Soskin retired (退休) at the age of 100 as the oldest active National Park Service(NPS) ranger (护林员). She spent her last day on the job at the WWII Home Front National Historical Park in Richmond, California. As an NPS employee, Soskin tirelessly promoted the stories of African American people and women of color who contributed to the home front effort during World War II. She briefly worked for the United States Air Force in 1942 but quit after learning that she’ d only been hired because her employers mistakenly believed that she was white. After leaving the Air Force, Soskin worked as a file clerk at Boilermaker’s A-36, an all-Black union hall in the San Francisco Bay Area. A talented musician, she and her husband, Mel Reid, founded one of the first Black-owned music stores in the region in 1945. Soskin also spent decades working as a staff member for officials in Berkley City Council and the California State Assembly. The newly retired ranger has been involved with the Richmond national park since its establishment in2000. In these early planning years, Soskin was often the only person of color in the meeting room. At 84, Soskin first joined the NPS in a short-term role, working to share the understudied stories of Black Americans on the WWII home front. She was hired (雇用) as a permanent NPS employee in 2011. “I felt such pride in the uniform,” Soskin said. “When I’m in a public place, I’m introducing silently to every child of color a career path that they might not ever be aware of, because they’ve never seen a person of color like me in a National Park uniform.” “Giving shape to a new national park has been exciting and worthwhile,” she added. “It has proven to bring meaning to my final years.” 24. What can be inferred about Betty Reid Soskin from the text? A. She retired as an NPS employee at 84. B. She left the Air Force due to a racial misunderstanding. C. She opened the first Black-owned music store in her region. D. She was the only person of color in Richmond’s national park. 25. Which can replace the underlined word “permanent” in Paragraph 5? A. Full-time. B. On-call. C. Local. D. Seasonal. 26. What did Soskin think of her job as a ranger? A. Well-paid. B. Inspiring. C. Demanding. D. Team-based. 27. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To describe Betty’s job changes in her life. B. To show Betty’s pride as an African American. C. To introduce Betty’s contributions as an NPS ranger. D. To present Betty’s struggle for her identity of colored race. 【答案】24 B 25. A 26. B 27. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Betty Reid Soskin作为美国国家公园管理局的护林员，致力于推广二战时期非裔美国人和有色人种女性在后方所做贡献的故事，她从84岁加入国家公园管理局，到100岁退休，在这个岗位上做出了很多贡献。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“She briefly worked for the United States Air Force in 1942 but quit after learning that she’ d only been hired because her employers mistakenly believed that she was white.(1942年，她曾短暂地在美国空军工作，但在得知自己之所以被录用是因为雇主误以为她是白人后，她辞职了。)”可推知，Betty Reid Soskin由于种族误解离开了空军。故选B项。 【25题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“At 84, Soskin first joined the NPS in a short-term role, working to share the understudied stories of Black Americans on the WWII home front.(84岁时，Soskin首次以短期角色加入NPS，致力于分享二战期间美国黑人在后方鲜为人知的故事。)”以及下文“NPS employee in 2011(2011年时的美国国家公园管理局雇员)”可知，Soskin首次以短期角色加入NPS，在2011年被聘为NPS的永久雇员，permanent意思是“全职的”。A. Full-time.全职的；B. On-call.随叫随到的；C. Local.当地的；D. Seasonal.季节性的。故选A项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段““I felt such pride in the uniform,” Soskin said. “When I’m in a public place, I’m introducing silently to every child of color a career path that they might not ever be aware of, because they’ve never seen a person of color like me in a National Park uniform.”(“我为身上的制服感到无比自豪。”索斯金说，“当我在公共场合时，我默默地向每一个有色人种的孩子介绍一条他们可能从未意识到的职业道路，因为他们从未见过像我这样穿着国家公园制服的有色人种。”)”可推知，Soskin认为她作为护林员的工作是鼓舞人心的。故选B项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Betty Reid Soskin retired (退休) at the age of 100 as the oldest active National Park Service(NPS) ranger (护林员). She spent her last day on the job at the WWII Home Front National Historical Park in Richmond, California.(Betty Reid Soskin以100岁高龄退休，是美国国家公园管理局（NPS）最年长的在职护林员。她上班的最后一天是在加州里士满的二战后方国家历史公园度过的。)”和下文内容可知，文章主要讲述了Betty Reid Soskin作为美国国家公园管理局的护林员，致力于推广二战时期非裔美国人和有色人种女性在后方所做贡献的故事，她从84岁加入国家公园管理局，到100岁退休，在这个岗位上做出了很多贡献，所以文章的主要目的是介绍Betty作为国家公园护林员所做出的贡献。故选C项。 C Long daily commutes (通勤) can leave little time around busy work days for commuters, who will be less active in sports, overweight and sleep poorly as a result. Sitting in traffic can also raise your blood pressure, a study found — not due to annoyance, but due to the air pollution drivers breathe in. Nowhere are those health effects felt more strongly, perhaps, than in South Korea, a country thought to have some of the longest average commuting times and highest rates of depression. A new study of more than23,000 people has found that South Koreans who commute longer than an hour are 16 percent more likely to experience depression than those with shorter commutes of under 30 minutes. Dong-Wook Lee, who led the research team, was a public health researcher in Korea. Their team conducted a national survey in 2017. Survey subjects answered questions based on the five-point World Health Organization well-being index (指标), from which the researchers rated their emotional health. The average daily commute time was 47 minutes. That adds up to almost 4 hours of commuting per week if people work 5days. One-quarter of the 23,415 people reported experiencing depression, judged by their index scores — a far cry from a doctor’s judgment of any kind. Although the study does not show cause and effect, the connection between hour-plus commutes and poorer emotional health among men was strongest for those who were unmarried, worked more than 52 hours per week and had no children. Among females, long commuting times were most strongly connected with depression among low-paid workers, shift workers (轮班工作者), and those with children. Reducing travel time and distance through improved transportation may provide a better commuting environment for people and improve their health the researchers conclude. 28. What is the first paragraph mainly about? A. The importance of reducing travel time. B. The health impacts of lengthy commutes. C. The serious threat of air pollution in traffic. D. The great pressure of a heavy workload. 29. What can we learn from the research in South Korea? A. South Koreans have good public health. B. Commutes are related to workers’ performance. C. Hour-long commutes increase depression risk. D. Most South Koreans have a brief journey to work. 30. How did the researchers collect data for the study? A. By asking questions. B. By making comparisons. C. By referring to previous records. D. By conducting street interviews. 31. Who is more likely to suffer from depression on hour-plus commutes? A. A single man with low pay. B. A married man with children. C. A female shift worker with children. D. A female worker with a heavy workload. 【答案】28. B 29. C 30. A 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。主要介绍了通勤时间长对人的健康，尤其是心理健康的负面影响，并以韩国的一项研究为例进行了说明。 【28题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Long daily commutes (通勤) can leave little time around busy work days for commuters, who will be less active in sports, overweight and sleep poorly as a result. Sitting in traffic can also raise your blood pressure, a study found — not due to annoyance, but due to the air pollution drivers breathe in.(每天长时间的通勤会让通勤者在繁忙的工作日中没有多少时间，因此他们会减少运动，体重超重，睡眠质量也很差。一项研究发现，交通堵塞也会使你的血压升高——不是因为烦恼，而是因为司机吸入的空气污染)”可知，第一段的主要内容是长时间通勤对健康的影响。故选B。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“A new study of more than23,000 people has found that South Koreans who commute longer than an hour are 16 percent more likely to experience depression than those with shorter commutes of under 30 minutes.(一项针对2.3万多人的新研究发现，通勤时间超过一小时的韩国人患抑郁症的可能性比通勤时间较短、不到30分钟的人高16%)”可知，长时间通勤增加了患抑郁症的风险，故选C。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Survey subjects answered questions based on the five-point World Health Organization well-being index (指标), from which the researchers rated their emotional health.(调查对象根据世界卫生组织的五分制幸福指数回答问题，研究人员根据该指数对他们的情绪健康状况进行评级)”可知，研究人员是通过让调查参与者回答基于世界卫生组织五点幸福指数的问题来进行调查的，故选A。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Among females, long commuting times were most strongly connected with depression among low-paid workers, shift workers (轮班工作者), and those with children.(在女性中，低薪工作者、轮班工作者和有孩子的女性中，通勤时间长与抑郁症的关系最为密切)”可知，有孩子的女性轮班工人更有可能在长时间通勤的情况下遭受抑郁症的困扰，故选C。 D The Benjamin Franklin effect is an idea in psychology (心理学) which suggests that if Alice does a favour (帮助) for Bob, then Alice will be more likely to do more things for Bob in the future. The usual explanation for this effect is that it works by changing the giver’s self-view. Once you do someone a favour, you naturally think of yourself as the person’s friend, and you’ll be more likely to do friendly things for them going forward. While I’ve observed a real effect like this, it’s different from the usual story in small but important ways. Here’s what I think is actually going on: Requesting a favour from a stranger or someone you know little has two important parts. There’s a request for charity, and a friendly attitude to partnership. People often want to provide limited charity out of kindness, responsibility or some such, but are willing to put a lot of effort into working well with their partners. As the Franklin effect depends on the friendly attitude to partnership, the charity part contributes to the early steps of the process but is not important in turning one-off favours into continuing relationships. When you request a favour, many people will see if you are a good partner subconsciously (潜意识地) and everyone will notice whether you act like a good one later. This includes showing proper appreciation, as well as doing favours in return. I sometimes see my friends try to use the self-view model of the Franklin effect to get support from influential customers. They’ll try to get a favour, not because the favour is useful in itself, but because it represents a step forward in the continuing project of catching their attention. But it doesn’t often turn into anything lasting in the way my friend wants. Because they don’t have the basic things that would allow them to become a good friend or partner, my friend can only ask for charity, which by itself is not a necessity for a continuing relationship. All this is to say that the Franklin effect doesn’t cheat people into helping you. Rather, it’s a test that gives you a chance to show your worth. 32. What is the main idea behind the Benjamin Franklin effect? A. Generosity builds up social trust. B. Charity leads to lasting friendships. C. Giving raises receivers’ self-respect. D. Doing favours promote relationships. 33. What role does the act of charity play in building lasting relationships? A. It develops trust. B. It ensures partnership. C. It starts connections. D. It strengthens responsibility. 34. What do people typically do when asked to do a favour? A. Test the requesters’ skills. B. Express subconscious thoughts. C. Appreciate others’ favours in return. D. Consider the potential for partnerships. 35. What does the author imply in the last paragraph? A. It’s easy to be fooled by the Franklin effect. B. Personal value is key to long-term partnerships. C. The Franklin effect may increase one’s influence. D. The self-view model may turn into lasting attention. 【答案】32. D 33. C 34. D 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了心理学中的本杰明・富兰克林效应，阐述了该效应的概念，即人们在为他人提供帮助后，未来更有可能继续为其做事，同时作者分析了这一效应背后的真正原因，并通过实例说明该效应并非欺骗他人提供帮助，而是一个展示自身价值以建立长期关系的测试。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“The Benjamin Franklin effect is an idea in psychology (心理学) which suggests that if Alice does a favour (帮助) for Bob, then Alice will be more likely to do more things for Bob in the future.The usual explanation for this effect is that it works by changing the giver’s self-view. Once you do someone a favour, you naturally think of yourself as the person’s friend, and you’ll be more likely to do friendly things for them going forward.(本杰明・富兰克林效应是心理学中的一个概念，它表明如果爱丽丝帮了鲍勃一个忙，那么爱丽丝将来更有可能为鲍勃做更多的事情。对于这种效应，通常的解释是，它通过改变给予者的自我看法而起作用。一旦你帮了别人的忙，你自然会认为自己是这个人的朋友，你以后更有可能为他们做一些友好的事情。)”可知，本杰明・富兰克林效应的核心观点是帮忙有助于促进人际关系。故选D。 33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“As the Franklin effect depends on the friendly attitude to partnership, the charity part contributes to the early steps of the process but is not important in turning one-off favours into continuing relationships.(由于富兰克林效应依赖于对合作关系的友好态度，慈善部分有助于这个过程的早期阶段，但在将一次性的帮助转化为持续的关系方面并不重要)”可知，慈善行为在建立持久关系中起到开启联系的作用。故选C。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“When you request a favour, many people will see if you are a good partner subconsciously (潜意识地) and everyone will notice whether you act like a good one later.(当你请求帮助时，许多人会潜意识地观察你是否是一个好的合作伙伴，之后每个人都会留意你的表现是否像一个好的合作伙伴)”可知，当人们被要求帮忙时，他们通常会考虑合作的可能性。故选D。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“They’ll try to get a favour, not because the favour is useful in itself, but because it represents a step forward in the continuing project of catching their attention. But it doesn’t often turn into anything lasting in the way my friend wants. Because they don’t have the basic things that would allow them to become a good friend or partner, my friend can only ask for charity, which by itself is not a necessity for a continuing relationship. All this is to say that the Franklin effect doesn’t cheat people into helping you. Rather, it’s a test that gives you a chance to show your worth.(他们会试着得到别人的帮助，不是因为这个帮助本身是有用的，而是因为这代表着在吸引他们注意力的持续项目中向前迈进了一步。但它通常不会像我朋友想要的那样变成持久的东西。因为他们不具备成为好朋友或好搭档的基本条件，我的朋友只能要求施舍，这本身并不是维持一段持续关系的必要条件。所有这些都表明，富兰克林效应并不是欺骗人们来帮助你。相反，它是一个给你展示自身价值的机会的测试)”可推知，个人价值是建立长期合作关系的关键。故选B。 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。 Strong, clear, interesting communication not only strengthens relationships and helps create more harmony, but allows us, the communicators, to feel heard. Follow these 4 tips for better communication: Listen more. Are you actually listening? Is your body posture(姿态) open and welcoming or closed off? ____36____ Being a good listener not only ensures that you have a better understanding of what is being said, but it also helps you avoid assumptions by paying attention to what is really happening rather than your own story about it. ____37____ Think before you speak. Take a moment to really think about what you’ re trying to say before you say it. ____38____ Getting in the habit of checking in with why you are speaking can help keep your communication clear and effective. Allow silence. A lot is communicated in the silence between words-good communication allows for this silence rather than trying to cover it up with words. ____39____ Don’t be afraid of the silence, and use your natural awareness to feel the moment and only speak when you have a clear reason to. Lead with compassion (同情). Compassion leads to a stronger eagerness for harmony, which can help prevent anger and stop us from saying things we might not truly mean. ____40____ A.

D 40. G 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲的是有效沟通的四个技巧。每个段落对应一个技巧，分别是：多听、三思而后言、允许沉默、以同情心引导。 【36题详解】 根据上文“Listen more. Are you actually listening? Is your body posture(姿态) open and welcoming or closed off?(多听。你真的在听吗？你的身体姿势是开放和欢迎的还是封闭的？)”可知，本句与上文的问句并列，针对专注倾听进行设问。故C选项“你是否完全集中了注意力，还是有其他事情吸引了你的注意力？”符合语境，故选C。 【37题详解】 根据上文“Being a good listener not only ensures that you have a better understanding of what is being said, but it also helps you avoid assumptions by paying attention to what is really happening rather than your own story about it.(做一个好的倾听者不仅可以确保你更好地理解所说的内容，还可以帮助你通过关注真实发生的事情而不是你自己的故事来避免假设)”可知，前文提到倾听的两个好处，本句进一步补充倾听的好处，与上文形成递进关系。故F选项“此外，倾听使说话者感到舒适，并鼓励他们也倾听”符合语境，故选F。 【38题详解】 根据上文“Think before you speak. Take a moment to really think about what you’ re trying to say before you say it.(三思而后言。在你开口之前，花点时间好好想想你要说什么)”可知，本段主题是“三思而后言”，本句需要紧扣检查说话动机的核心，与后文“Getting in the habit of checking in with why you are speaking can help keep your communication clear and effective.(养成检查你说话原因的习惯可以帮助你保持清晰有效的沟通)”检查为什么要说话呼应。故E选项“你的话是否反映了你的真实感受和你真正想要的或目标？”符合语境，故选E。 【39题详解】 根据上文“Allow silence. A lot is communicated in the silence between words-good communication allows for this silence rather than trying to cover it up with words.(允许沉默。语言之间的沉默传达了很多信息——良好的沟通允许这种沉默，而不是试图用语言来掩盖它)”可知，本段主题是“沉默的力量”，本句需要贴合沉默传递非语言信号的语境，D选项中“unspoken messages”与“silence一致。故D选项“优秀的沟通者能捕捉到未说出来的信息并做出反应”符合语境，故选D。 【40题详解】 根据上文“Lead with compassion (同情). Compassion leads to a stronger eagerness for harmony, which can help prevent anger and stop us from saying things we might not truly mean.(用同情心来领导。同情会导致对和谐的更强烈渴望，这有助于防止愤怒，阻止我们说一些可能不是真正想说的话)”可知，本段主题是“以同情心引导”，本句是同情心的具体表现，直接点明理解他人意图的方法。故G选项“设身处地为别人着想，我们就能更好地理解他们想要传达的信息”符合语境，故选G。 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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 A runner’s mid-race act of kindness brings cheers.

Its 81 chapters ____56____ (divide) into two parts, Dao (the Way) and De (Virtue). Short ____57____ it is, the book has played an important role in the development of Chinese culture. “Naturalness” is a ____58____ (significance) concept (概念) of Laozi’s philosophy. It refers to a natural state of being, an attitude to follow the way of nature. Laozi ____59____ (stress) that everything in the world has its own way of being and development: birds fly in the sky, fish swim in the water, and clouds move in the sky. All these ____60____ (phenomenon) happen independently and naturally without ____61____ (follow) any human will, and humans should not try to change anything natural. Laozi advised people to give up on any longing ____62____ (control) the world. “Non-action” is another important concept of Laozi’s philosophy. Laozi said, “Dao or the Way acts through non-action,” by ____63____ he did not mean that one should do nothing and ____64____ (simple) wait for something to be achieved. Neither did he deny (否认) human creativity. What he meant is that human activities should be built ____65____ the basis of naturalness without any attempts to mess with nature. 【答案】56. are divided 57. as##though 58. significant 59. stressed 60. phenomena 61. following 62. to control 63. which 64. simply 65. on 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。通过介绍《道德经》的核心思想，展示了老子哲学中“自然”和“无为”的重要性，以及这些思想对中华文化的重要影响。 【56题详解】 考查时态语态。句意：全书共81章，分为“道”和“德”两部分。主语81 chapters是复数，且与动词divide之间是被动关系。陈述事实使用一般现在时的被动语态，故填are divided。 【57题详解】 考查让步状语从句。句意：虽然这本书很短，但它在中国文化的发展中发挥了重要作用。句子的意思是“尽管这本书很短，但它在中国文化的发展中发挥了重要作用”。表示“尽管……”用although、though或as引导让步状语从句。although通常放在句首或句中，而though或as引导让步状语从句时，句子的结构为“形容词/副词+ as/ though +主语+谓语”。故填as/though。 【58题详解】 考查形容词。句意：“自然”是老子哲学的一个重要概念。修饰concept用形容词significant，故填significant。 【59题详解】 考查时态。句意：老子强调世间万物都有自己的存在和发展方式：鸟在天上飞，鱼在水里游，云在天上动。句子的主语是“Laozi”，谓语动词“stress”与主语之间是主动关系。根据上下文的时态，这里应该使用一般过去时，表示过去的行为或观点。故填stressed。 【60题详解】 考查名词的数。句意：所有这些现象都是独立而自然地发生的，人类不应该试图改变任何自然的东西。根据句子的意思，“这些现象”是复数概念，因此需要填“phenomenon”的复数形式“phenomena”。故填phenomena。 【61题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：所有这些现象都是独立而自然地发生的，人类不应该试图改变任何自然的东西。介词without后面通常接动名词作宾语。故填following。 【62题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：老子劝人们放弃控制世界的任何欲望。空格前是名词“longing”，表示“……的渴望”，通常用a longing to do sth.。故填to control。 【63题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：老子说：“道通过无为而行”，他并不是说人们应该什么都不做，仅仅等待事情的发生。空格前是“Dao or the Way acts through nonaction”，这是一个完整的句子，而空格后的句子是对前面内容的解释说明，因此需要用关系代词“which”来引导非限制性定语从句。故填which。 【64题详解】 考查副词。句意：老子说：“道通过无为而行”，他并不是说人们应该什么都不做，仅仅等待事情的发生。修饰动词wait用副词simply。故填simply。 【65题详解】 考查介词。句意：他的意思是，人类活动应该建立在自然的基础上，而不是试图扰乱自然。短语on the basis of表示“在……的基础上”，故填on。 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) 66. 假定你是李华，准备参加学校组织的英语即兴演讲(impromptu speech)比赛，请给外教Jack写封邮件求助，内容包括： (1)说明比赛要求； (2)请教演讲技巧； (3)表达你的感谢。 注意： (1)写作词数应为80左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Dear Jack, I’m Li Hua from Class 3. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours sincerely, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Jack, I’m Li Hua from Class 3.

The final exams had been really tough. Everyone had studied hard day and night. Now that they were finally over, everyone felt so relieved. They were all looking forward to the winter vacation. People were thinking about lazy mornings, staying in bed late, and having lots of fun. Jane and Alice were two very good friends. They were always together. For weeks, they had been planning to go to the movies on the first day of the vacation. They picked a movie that they both really wanted to see. On the morning of that special day Jane woke up early. She was super excited. She put on her favorite skirt. Then she sat in the living room, waiting for Alice. Time passed very slowly. Every minute felt like an hour. Alice didn’t show up. Jane called Alice many times, but no one answered. After an hour, Jane started to get worried. She also got a little angry. She thought Alice had forgotten about their plan. Two hours later, Jane decided to go to Alice’s house. When she got there, Alice’s mom opened the door. She looked sad. She told Jane that Alice had suddenly fallen ill that morning. She had a high fever and was feeling very bad. Jane’s anger went away right away. She just wanted to see her friend. When Jane went into Alice’s room, she saw Alice lying in bed, looking very pale. Alice opened her eyes slowly and said weakly, “Jane, I’m so sorry. I really wanted to go to the movies with you. I set my alarm last night, but this stupid fever messed everything up.” 注意： (1)续写词数应为150左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Jane walked up to Alice’s bed and sat down beside her. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When Alice fully recovered, they decided to have a celebration at Jane’s house. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Jane walked up to Alice’s bed and sat down beside her. At first, a touch of disappointment still lingered in Jane’s heart because she had been looking forward to their movie date for so long. However, after seeing Alice’s sickly state, her disappointment quickly melted away, replaced by deep concern. “Don’t worry, Alice,” Jane comforted. “Your health is the priority. We can watch the movie later.” She dipped a cloth in cool water, gently squeezed it, and placed it on Alice’s forehead to reduce the fever. Alice’s mom, watching with gratitude, thanked Jane sincerely for her kindness and care. Jane smiled back, saying, “Auntie, that’s what friends are supposed to do.” With time ticking away, Alice made slow but steady progress towards better health. When Alice fully recovered, they decided to have a celebration at Jane’s house. When Alice arrived, she was greeted with a huge smile and a tight hug from Jane. Eager to create a memorable celebration, they both got busy in the kitchen. They put on aprons and started making their favorite pizza together. As evening fell, they settled themselves on the couch, with food in front, ready to watch the long-awaited movie. The moment the movie started, their excitement was evident in every gesture. During the funny scenes, their laughter echoed through the room. For these two girls, this celebration wasn’t just about Alice’s recovery but also a testament to their unbreakable friendship that had only grown stronger through this experience. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了简和爱丽丝是两个非常要好的朋友，几个星期以来，她们一直计划在假期的第一天去看电影。到了约定那天，爱丽丝没有来，简去了她家发现她生病了。看到爱丽丝病恹恹的样子，她的失望很快消失了，取而代之的是深深的担忧。最后爱丽丝康复，两人举行了庆祝活动，玩得很高兴。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“简走到爱丽丝的床边，坐在她旁边”可知，第一段可描写简看到爱丽丝生病，感到担心，于是帮忙照顾爱丽丝。 ②由第二段首句内容“当爱丽丝完全康复后，他们决定在简的家里庆祝一下”可知，第二段可描写两人举行庆祝活动，玩的很高兴。 2.续写线索：看望爱丽丝——感到担心——照顾爱丽丝——爱丽丝康复——举行庆祝活动——感悟 3词汇激活 行为类 ①(时间)流逝：tick away/pass by ②取代：replace/take place of ③开始：start/begin 情绪类 ①难忘：memorable/unforgettable ②激动：excitement/thrill 【点睛】[高分句型1] With time ticking away, Alice made slow but steady progress towards better health.（运用with的复合结构） [高分句型2] When Alice arrived, she was greeted with a huge smile and a tight hug from Jane.（由when引导时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $这是2025年春京京乡疑似第七校考试联盟高一年级期中考试英语科听力部分，该部分分为第一第二两节。注意，回答听力部分时，请先将答案标在试卷上。听力部分结束前，你将有两分钟的时间将你的答案转涂到客观题答题卡上。现在是听力试音时间。Hello, international friends club.

B Betty Reid Soskin retired (退休) at the age of 100 as the oldest active National Park Service(NPS) ranger (护林员). She spent her last day on the job at the WWII Home Front National Historical Park in Richmond, California. As an NPS employee, Soskin tirelessly promoted the stories of African American people and women of color who contributed to the home front effort during World War II. She briefly worked for the United States Air Force in 1942 but quit after learning that she’ d only been hired because her employers mistakenly believed that she was white. After leaving the Air Force, Soskin worked as a file clerk at Boilermaker’s A-36, an all-Black union hall in the San Francisco Bay Area. A talented musician, she and her husband, Mel Reid, founded one of the first Black-owned music stores in the region in 1945. Soskin also spent decades working as a staff member for officials in Berkley City Council and the California State Assembly. The newly retired ranger has been involved with the Richmond national park since its establishment in2000. In these early planning years, Soskin was often the only person of color in the meeting room. At 84 Soskin first joined the NPS in a short-term role, working to share the understudied stories of Black Americans on the WWII home front. She was hired (雇用) as a permanent NPS employee in 2011. “I felt such pride in the uniform,” Soskin said. “When I’m in a public place, I’m introducing silently to every child of color a career path that they might not ever be aware of, because they’ve never seen a person of color like me in a National Park uniform.” “Giving shape to a new national park has been exciting and worthwhile,” she added. “It has proven to bring meaning to my final years.” 24. What can be inferred about Betty Reid Soskin from the text? A. She retired as an NPS employee at 84. B. She left the Air Force due to a racial misunderstanding. C. She opened the first Black-owned music store in her region. D. She was the only person of color in Richmond’s national park. 25. Which can replace the underlined word “permanent” in Paragraph 5? A. Full-time. B. On-call. C. Local. D. Seasonal. 26. What did Soskin think of her job as a ranger? A. Well-paid. B. Inspiring. C. Demanding. D. Team-based. 27. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To describe Betty’s job changes in her life. B. To show Betty’s pride as an African American. C. To introduce Betty’s contributions as an NPS ranger. D. To present Betty’s struggle for her identity of colored race. C Long daily commutes (通勤) can leave little time around busy work days for commuters, who will be less active in sports, overweight and sleep poorly as a result. Sitting in traffic can also raise your blood pressure, a study found — not due to annoyance, but due to the air pollution drivers breathe in. Nowhere are those health effects felt more strongly, perhaps, than in South Korea, a country thought to have some of the longest average commuting times and highest rates of depression. A new study of more than23,000 people has found that South Koreans who commute longer than an hour are 16 percent more likely to experience depression than those with shorter commutes of under 30 minutes. Dong-Wook Lee, who led the research team, was a public health researcher in Korea. Their team conducted a national survey in 2017. Survey subjects answered questions based on the five-point World Health Organization well-being index (指标), from which the researchers rated their emotional health. The average daily commute time was 47 minutes. That adds up to almost 4 hours of commuting per week if people work 5days. One-quarter of the 23,415 people reported experiencing depression, judged by their index scores — a far cry from a doctor’s judgment of any kind. Although the study does not show cause and effect, the connection between hour-plus commutes and poorer emotional health among men was strongest for those who were unmarried, worked more than 52 hours per week and had no children. Among females, long commuting times were most strongly connected with depression among low-paid workers, shift workers (轮班工作者), and those with children. Reducing travel time and distance through improved transportation may provide a better commuting environment for people and improve their health, the researchers conclude. 28. What is the first paragraph mainly about? A. The importance of reducing travel time. B. The health impacts of lengthy commutes. C. The serious threat of air pollution in traffic. D. The great pressure of a heavy workload. 29. What can we learn from the research in South Korea? A. South Koreans have good public health. B. Commutes are related to workers’ performance. C. Hour-long commutes increase depression risk. D. Most South Koreans have a brief journey to work. 30. How did the researchers collect data for the study? A. By asking questions. B. By making comparisons. C. By referring to previous records. D. By conducting street interviews. 31. Who is more likely to suffer from depression on hour-plus commutes? A. A single man with low pay. B. A married man with children. C. A female shift worker with children. D. A female worker with a heavy workload. D The Benjamin Franklin effect is an idea in psychology (心理学) which suggests that if Alice does a favour (帮助) for Bob, then Alice will be more likely to do more things for Bob in the future. The usual explanation for this effect is that it works by changing the giver’s self-view. Once you do someone a favour, you naturally think of yourself as the person’s friend, and you’ll be more likely to do friendly things for them going forward. While I’ve observed a real effect like this, it’s different from the usual story in small but important ways. Here’s what I think is actually going on: Requesting a favour from a stranger or someone you know little has two important parts. There’s a request for charity, and a friendly attitude to partnership. People often want to provide limited charity out of kindness, responsibility or some such, but are willing to put a lot of effort into working well with their partners. As the Franklin effect depends on the friendly attitude to partnership, the charity part contributes to the early steps of the process but is not important in turning one-off favours into continuing relationships. When you request a favour, many people will see if you are a good partner subconsciously (潜意识地) and everyone will notice whether you act like a good one later. This includes showing proper appreciation, as well as doing favours in return. I sometimes see my friends try to use the self-view model of the Franklin effect to get support from influential customers. They’ll try to get a favour, not because the favour is useful in itself, but because it represents a step forward in the continuing project of catching their attention. But it doesn’t often turn into anything lasting in the way my friend wants. Because they don’t have the basic things that would allow them to become a good friend or partner, my friend can only ask for charity, which by itself is not a necessity for a continuing relationship. All this is to say that the Franklin effect doesn’t cheat people into helping you. Rather, it’s a test that gives you a chance to show your worth. 32. What is the main idea behind the Benjamin Franklin effect? A. Generosity builds up social trust. B. Charity leads to lasting friendships. C. Giving raises receivers’ self-respect. D. Doing favours promote relationships. 33. What role does the act of charity play in building lasting relationships? A. It develops trust. B. It ensures partnership. C. It starts connections. D. It strengthens responsibility. 34. What do people typically do when asked to do a favour? A. Test the requesters’ skills. B. Express subconscious thoughts. C. Appreciate others’ favours in return. D. Consider the potential for partnerships. 35. What does the author imply in the last paragraph? A It’s easy to be fooled by the Franklin effect. B. Personal value is key to long-term partnerships. C. The Franklin effect may increase one’s influence. D. The self-view model may turn into lasting attention. 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。 Strong, clear, interesting communication not only strengthens relationships and helps create more harmony, but allows us, the communicators, to feel heard.
