When my parents cleared their storage room out recently, they found The Story Book Special I wrote when I was nine years old. I couldn’t believe my imagination was so wild. Reading it reminded me of how special words had been to me at an early age. It’s a feeling that has lasted, through my school years and far, far beyond. At the age of 18, I joined Kent Police and spent twelve years living every little boy’s dream of driving cars fast and playing cops and robbers for real. It’s safe to say it’s a career I’d still be in now, if not for what happened when I was 28. I was a fit man when, unexpectedly, I was diagnosed with an incurable heart disease. It’s the disease you hear of when a sportsperson suddenly drops dead on the field of play. But, you know what, it’s one of the best things to have happened to me. When this happened, I made a to-do list. At the top of it was to write a full-length, “proper” book. I wrote the first draft of my first novel in three months and loved every minute of the process. I knew this was what I wanted to do, more than anything, and getting into publishing can’t be that hard... right? Wrong! As every author knows, brick walls are everywhere, and when you knock one down, there’s another one. After a few false starts, I coupled with my wonderful agent, Nicky. We spent eight solid months editing and sent the manuscript off. Once again, we received some dressed-up “no’s”, until Rachel, an editor I’d really wanted to work with, read it. Her vision for the book is exactly consistent with mine! Now my first novel is optioned for television, and is in the hands of a wonderful production team both here in London, and in Australia where it will be filmed. Writing is what I love, and seeing my little story book from when I was nine really drove it home to me. We don’t often get another chance in life, but I was given one when I survived something tragically fatal. Now, with my second chance, I’m giving it the best go I can. 24. How did the author feel when reading The Story Book Special? A. Nervous. B. Relieved. C. Proud. D. Ashamed. 25. After being told he had heart disease, the author decided to ___________. A. get a job in publishing B. continue working as a policeman C. pick up a new hobby D. pursue his passion for words 26 What happened when the author acted on his to-do list? A. His first novel was turned down many times. B. He adapted his novel and filmed it in Australia. C. He worked with a co-author to improve the draft. D. His continuous efforts earned Rachel’s appreciation. 27. What can we learn from this passage? A. Two heads are better than one. B. A little bit more sums up success. C. It’s hard to change one’s nature. D. A setback is a setup for a comeback. C Chinook salmon and their habitats in Seattle’s Thornton Creek suffered severely due to urban expansion, causing flash floods and biodiversity loss. Despite restoration efforts, the once-abundant salmon all but disappeared. During a conference, biologist Katherine Lynch proposed rebuilding the creek’s missing “liver” damaged by urbanization. Lynch has been studying the hyporheic zone, a layer of wet sediment (沉积物), small stones and tiny creatures beneath the streambed. It facilitates water mixing and oxygen delivery to salmon eggs, earning the nickname “liver of the river.” The disappearance of this zone threatens the health of waterways. Lynch recognized that, however, most restoration efforts in Seattle overlooked it or disconnected it from the surface water. Teamed with engineer Mike Hrachovec, Lynch redesigned Thornton Creek. They strategically put logs into the water at precise angles to create tiny waterfalls and nearly still water pockets, generating hydraulic pressure to force water down into the hyporheic zone. These accurately placed logs and rocks, known as “hyporheic structures,” also create pockets of slow water that provide safe shelters for juvenile fish — all meant to emulate features of a natural stream. Subsequent data analysis confirmed the stream functioned as Lynch’s team — and nature — intended. But was the stream also supporting life? Given that the stone and sand positioned were sterile (贫瘠的) territory, Lynch thought that a biological jumpstart might be necessary and that the return of life to restored creeks relied on organisms migrating from healthy upstream habitats. So her team tried another ground-breaking move: inoculating (接种) the engineered hyporheic zone with microbes (微生物), which quickly populated the areas. But even though the number of individuals was high, the biodiversity was relatively low. A 2021 study by stream ecologist Sarah Morley noted that while a few of the new species grew rapidly, most were similar to those in unrestored section. Scientists are exploring reasons for the limited survival of introduced species, and because this science is so new, they have not ruled out any potential explanations: differences in the donor stream, size of the restored area, or poor water quality. They might have inoculated the hyporheic too soon, before essential vegetation could establish. The Thornton Creek restorations have successfully prevented neighbourhood flooding, even during heavy storms, and stabilized the stream’s flow. Most notably, Chinook salmon returned to lay eggs in the restored hyporheic zones, touching Lynch deeply. She recalls, “this success suggests that small urban creek restorations can revitalize functioning ecosystems.” 28. What does the underlined word “emulate” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A Record. B. Copy. C. Monitor. D. Transform. 29. What can be inferred about the microbial inoculation in Thornton Creek? A. It introduced essential vegetation. B. It restored the original biodiversity. C. It increased the total quantity of microbes. D. It sourced microbes from downstream habitats. 30. What can we learn from Lynch’s restoration project? A. It focused on increasing water oxygen levels. B. It recreated the conditions of the donor stream. C. It removed human-made structures from the creek. D. It integrated physical redesign with bio-intervention. 31. Which would be the best title for this passage? A. To Revive a River, Restore Its Liver. B. Urbanization: A Silent Killer of a River. C. Chinook Salmon Boost the Diversity of Ecosystems. D. What Makes the Hyporheic Zone Vital for Restoration?. D Books are about to become a little less “Impressive!”, “Appealing!” and “Spellbinding!”. Fewer still will offer a “tour de force” (whatever one of those might be). That is because Simon & Schuster, an American publisher, has decided to stop doing book blurbs ( also called “puffs” in Britain) — those invited comments from other authors on the back of books. They are, says Sean Manning, the company’s publisher, “very awkward”. The problem with blurbs is that there is always a need to publicly evaluate books. It is a fact in the life of a writer that if one publicly publishes, one is going to be publicly judged. When negative, such judgments can be painful, when stupid, it can be maddening, but when positive, it can also be a joyful, supportive moment. However, when a writer gets prearranged remarks, it devalues legitimate (合情合理的) responses. The style of a puff is, as the name suggests, breathless. Someone might declare a book “authoritative”; another, “unputdownable”; and a third, “If you can read this book without screaming with excitement, your soul is dead”. You feel guilty, wrote George Orwell, when you are in the library and “fail to scream with delight”. Also, in theory blurbs are testament to an author’s narrative skills. In truth they are a testament to their social ones: they often reflect arm-twisting rather than artistry. Literary heavyweights hate giving them. “We would as soon sell our tears for lemon-drops”, wrote Nathaniel Parker Willis, a poet, than thus “spoil one of the truthful adjectives in the world”. New authors struggle to get blurbs, which is partly why Simon & Schuster is giving them up. Blurbs more often exemplify the very bad writing. Many are less written than pieced up from stock phrases — “A heartbreaking, unputdownable page-turner!” — with an exclamation mark at the end. This makes them exhausting to read! There has been honest copy on dust jackets — T. S. Eliot’s description of Louis MacNeice, a fellow poet, informed readers that “His work is accessible but unpopular” — but it is too rare. It turns out that the habit of using words like “unputdownable” is itself quite putdownable. Mr. Manning says his editors will use the time they save on chasing quotes to instead produce good books. Not, note, “charming” or “absorbing” books but simply “the best books possible”. It is an admirably modest aim. 32. What can we learn about blurbs? A. They serve the interest of book writers. B. They guarantee legitimate responses. C. New authors are sick of writing them. D. Readers feel guilty after reading them. 33. The author uses Eliot’s example mainly to ____________. A. advocate the originality in blurbs B. clarify a misconception about blurbs C. distinguish the various types of current blurbs D. suggest the widespread presence of dishonest blurbs 34. What can we infer from the passage? A. Blurbs are self-defeating. B. There is no need for blurbs. C. Blurbs promote social skills. D. Established authors favor blurbs. 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2分，共10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 There is considerable evidence from studies with adults that volunteering benefits a person’s physical and mental health. ____35____ A 2023 analysis suggested that young people who had participated in community service were more likely to be in excellent health and stayed calm when faced with challenges. ____36____ It could be that the children volunteers were already in great health. But because of an alarming rise in mental health issues among young people, environmental health scientists believe this early evidence is promising enough to pursue. A 2021 advisory warned that the number of young people reporting constant feelings of sadness or hopelessness had increased by40 percent over the previous decade. There are multiple possible causes, including anxiety over climate change, the effects of social media use and unfriendly personal circumstances. To address these problems, researchers point to the importance of “contribution” as an essential piece of social and emotional development for teenagers. Volunteering is one good way young people can contribute. ____37____ In 2022, developmental psychologist Parissa Ballard and her colleagues tested volunteering as an intervention for nine 14-to-20-year-olds who had been recently diagnosed with mild to moderate depression or anxiety. After 30 hours of volunteer work at community organizations, the average reduction in depressive symptoms was 19 percent. What accounts for the benefits? Helping others improves mood and raises confidence. It provides rich ground for building social connections. It also changes how young people see themselves. Many teens don’t feel important. ____38____ There may be a potential downside to volunteering, however. ____39____ “Young people have to choose something that feels meaningful to them,” Ballard says. Adults can help by offering choices and checking volunteer opportunities to be sure that organizations are well run and equipped to offer a good experience. A. Admittedly, this finding only shows connections. B. Now scientists are finding similar links in children and teenagers. C. This improvement was in comparison with young people who did not volunteer. D The sense of mattering to others translates really well to their needs to connect and belong. E. Everyone in the study enjoyed the work and reported a sense of pride and accomplishment. F. The experience can be harmful if young people feel like they are being forced to participate. G. Volunteering gives them a different sense of themselves, a sense of confidence and self-value. 第三部分 书面表达 (共两节，32分) 第一节 (共4小题;第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分) 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。 Good news for procrastinators (拖延者): There is a way to use procrastination to your advantage. Most procrastinators make the mistake of doing nothing at all. But when you use procrastination as motivation to get things done, you can avoid doing that one thing you really would rather not do and be quite productive. It’s what essayist John Perry calls “structured procrastination”. Let’s say, for example, you have a number of tasks you are avoiding, in order of urgency:1) Finishing an essay; 2) Responding to emails; 3) Cleaning and doing laundry. A non-procrastinator would accomplish these tasks in order of urgency. A procrastinator would avoid doing them altogether. But a structured procrastinator would do them in reverse (反向) — using his desire to avoid writing the essay as motivation to do cleaning and respond to emails. Since he can reprogram by working on other things that are still valuable, he is actually getting a lot done. College senior Jordan Gonen is what you might call a structured procrastinator. When he is overcome with fear of homework, he’ll preoccupy himself with what he calls “quick wins”—sending emails and writing articles for his blog. “It’s still procrastinating my homework, but instead of doing nothing in the meantime, I’m still getting a lot done,” Gonen says. Once he gets through these tasks, Gonen can more easily get into the mindset of tackling his homework. “A lot of these smaller tasks aren’t particularly fun or productive, but if you can really knock them out really quickly over a certain period of time, then you can get a lot more done and it doesn’t feel necessarily worse — you’ re just working 100 percent on whatever you’ re working on,” Gonen says. 40. What is “structured procrastination”? _________________________________________________________________________ 41. How would structured procrastinators handle a number of tasks they are avoiding? _________________________________________________________________________ 42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. Gonen gets through his smaller tasks first because they are fun and productive. _________________________________________________________________________ 43.

When my parents cleared their storage room out recently, they found The Story Book Special I wrote when I was nine years old. I couldn’t believe my imagination was so wild. Reading it reminded me of how special words had been to me at an early age. It’s a feeling that has lasted, through my school years and far, far beyond. At the age of 18, I joined Kent Police and spent twelve years living every little boy’s dream of driving cars fast and playing cops and robbers for real. It’s safe to say it’s a career I’d still be in now, if not for what happened when I was 28. I was a fit man when, unexpectedly, I was diagnosed with an incurable heart disease. It’s the disease you hear of when a sportsperson suddenly drops dead on the field of play. But, you know what, it’s one of the best things to have happened to me. When this happened, I made a to-do list. At the top of it was to write a full-length, “proper” book. I wrote the first draft of my first novel in three months and loved every minute of the process. I knew this was what I wanted to do, more than anything, and getting into publishing can’t be that hard... right? Wrong! As every author knows, brick walls are everywhere, and when you knock one down, there’s another one. After a few false starts, I coupled with my wonderful agent, Nicky. We spent eight solid months editing and sent the manuscript off. Once again, we received some dressed-up “no’s”, until Rachel, an editor I’d really wanted to work with, read it. Her vision for the book is exactly consistent with mine! Now my first novel is optioned for television, and is in the hands of a wonderful production team both here in London, and in Australia where it will be filmed. Writing is what I love, and seeing my little story book from when I was nine really drove it home to me. We don’t often get another chance in life, but I was given one when I survived something tragically fatal. Now, with my second chance, I’m giving it the best go I can. 24. How did the author feel when reading The Story Book Special? A. Nervous. B. Relieved. C. Proud. D. Ashamed. 25. After being told he had heart disease, the author decided to ___________. A. get a job in publishing B. continue working as a policeman C. pick up a new hobby D. pursue his passion for words 26. What happened when the author acted on his to-do list? A. His first novel was turned down many times. B. He adapted his novel and filmed it in Australia. C. He worked with a co-author to improve the draft. D. His continuous efforts earned Rachel’s appreciation. 27. What can we learn from this passage? A. Two heads are better than one. B. A little bit more sums up success. C. It’s hard to change one’s nature. D. A setback is a setup for a comeback. 【答案】24. C 25. D 26. A 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述作者从小热爱写作，患病后坚持写作并取得成果的经历。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“I couldn’t believe my imagination was so wild. Reading it reminded me of how special words had been to me at an early age.(我不敢相信我的想象力如此丰富。阅读它让我想起在很小的时候，文字对我来说是多么特别)”可知，作者读自己九岁时写的《特别故事书》时感到很自豪。故选C。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“When this happened, I made a to-do list. At the top of it was to write a full-length, ‘proper’ book.(当这一切发生时，我列了一个待办事项清单。排在首位的是写一本完整的、‘像样的’书)”可知，在被诊断出患有心脏病后，作者决定追求他对文字的热爱。故选D。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中“After a few false starts, I coupled with my wonderful agent, Nicky. We spent eight solid months editing and sent the manuscript off. Once again, we received some dressed-up ‘no’s’, until Rachel, an editor I’d really wanted to work with, read it.(在几次失败的尝试后，我和我出色的经纪人尼基合作。我们花了整整八个月的时间进行编辑，然后把稿子寄了出去。我们再次收到了一些委婉的拒绝，直到我想合作的编辑雷切尔读了它)”可知，当作者按照待办事项清单行事时，他的第一部小说被多次拒绝。故选A。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“We don’t often get another chance in life, but I was given one when I survived something tragically fatal. Now, with my second chance, I’m giving it the best go I can.(我们一生中往往没有第二次机会，但当我在一场致命的悲剧中幸存下来时，我得到了第二次机会。现在，有了第二次机会，我会尽我所能去争取)”可知，我们能从这篇文章中学到挫折是东山再起的铺垫。故选D。 C Chinook salmon and their habitats in Seattle’s Thornton Creek suffered severely due to urban expansion, causing flash floods and biodiversity loss. Despite restoration efforts, the once-abundant salmon all but disappeared. During a conference, biologist Katherine Lynch proposed rebuilding the creek’s missing “liver” damaged by urbanization. Lynch has been studying the hyporheic zone, a layer of wet sediment (沉积物), small stones and tiny creatures beneath the streambed. It facilitates water mixing and oxygen delivery to salmon eggs, earning the nickname “liver of the river.” The disappearance of this zone threatens the health of waterways. Lynch recognized that, however, most restoration efforts in Seattle overlooked it or disconnected it from the surface water. Teamed with engineer Mike Hrachovec, Lynch redesigned Thornton Creek. They strategically put logs into the water at precise angles to create tiny waterfalls and nearly still water pockets, generating hydraulic pressure to force water down into the hyporheic zone. These accurately placed logs and rocks, known as “hyporheic structures,” also create pockets of slow water that provide safe shelters for juvenile fish — all meant to emulate features of a natural stream. Subsequent data analysis confirmed the stream functioned as Lynch’s team — and nature — intended. But was the stream also supporting life? Given that the stone and sand positioned were sterile (贫瘠的) territory, Lynch thought that a biological jumpstart might be necessary and that the return of life to restored creeks relied on organisms migrating from healthy upstream habitats. So her team tried another ground-breaking move: inoculating (接种) the engineered hyporheic zone with microbes (微生物), which quickly populated the areas. But even though the number of individuals was high, the biodiversity was relatively low. A 2021 study by stream ecologist Sarah Morley noted that while a few of the new species grew rapidly, most were similar to those in unrestored section. Scientists are exploring reasons for the limited survival of introduced species, and because this science is so new, they have not ruled out any potential explanations: differences in the donor stream, size of the restored area, or poor water quality. They might have inoculated the hyporheic too soon, before essential vegetation could establish. The Thornton Creek restorations have successfully prevented neighbourhood flooding, even during heavy storms, and stabilized the stream’s flow. Most notably, Chinook salmon returned to lay eggs in the restored hyporheic zones, touching Lynch deeply. She recalls, “this success suggests that small urban creek restorations can revitalize functioning ecosystems.” 28. What does the underlined word “emulate” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Record. B. Copy. C. Monitor. D. Transform. 29. What can be inferred about the microbial inoculation in Thornton Creek? A. It introduced essential vegetation. B. It restored the original biodiversity. C. It increased the total quantity of microbes. D. It sourced microbes from downstream habitats. 30. What can we learn from Lynch’s restoration project? A. It focused on increasing water oxygen levels. B. It recreated the conditions of the donor stream. C. It removed human-made structures from the creek. D. It integrated physical redesign with bio-intervention. 31. Which would be the best title for this passage? A. To Revive a River, Restore Its Liver. B. Urbanization: A Silent Killer of a River. C. Chinook Salmon Boost the Diversity of Ecosystems. D. What Makes the Hyporheic Zone Vital for Restoration?. 【答案】28. B 29. C 30. D 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了科学家通过重建溪流“肝脏”——潜流带，成功恢复生态系统功能并使鲑鱼回归的生态修复过程。 【28题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中“They strategically put logs into the water at precise angles to create tiny waterfalls and nearly still water pockets, generating hydraulic pressure to force water down into the hyporheic zone. These accurately placed logs and rocks, known as “hyporheic structures,” also create pockets of slow water that provide safe shelters for juvenile fish — all meant to emulate features of a natural stream. (他们从策略上以精确的角度把原木放入水中，以制造出小瀑布和近乎静止的水洼，产生液压将水挤压进潜流带。这些精准放置的原木和石头被称为“潜流结构”，它们还形成了水流缓慢的区域，为幼鱼提供了安全的庇护所——这一切都是为了emulate自然溪流的特征)”可知，这些结构和设计都是为了模仿天然溪流的特征，所以“emulate”意思是“模仿”，与“copy”意思相近。故选B。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“But even though the number of individuals was high, the biodiversity was relatively low. (但是，尽管个体数量很高，生物多样性却相对较低)”以及“So her team tried another ground-breaking move: inoculating (接种) the engineered hyporheic zone with microbes (微生物), which quickly populated the areas. (于是，她的团队尝试了另一项开创性的举措：向经过改造的潜流带接种微生物，这些微生物迅速在这些区域大量繁殖)”可知，对桑顿溪进行微生物接种后，微生物数量迅速增加，但生物多样性相对较低。所以可以推断出微生物接种增加了微生物的总量。故选C。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Teamed with engineer Mike Hrachovec, Lynch redesigned Thornton Creek. They strategically put logs into the water at precise angles to create tiny waterfalls and nearly still water pockets, generating hydraulic pressure to force water down into the hyporheic zone. (林奇与工程师迈克・赫拉乔韦茨合作，重新设计了桑顿溪。他们颇有策略地将原木以精确的角度放入水中，打造出微型瀑布和近乎静止的水洼，产生水压，迫使水流进入潜流带)”以及第四段中“So her team tried another ground-breaking move: inoculating (接种) the engineered hyporheic zone with microbes (微生物), which quickly populated the areas. (于是，她的团队尝试了另一项开创性的举措：向经过改造的潜流带接种微生物，这些微生物迅速在这些区域大量繁殖)”可知，林奇的修复项目既包括对溪流的物理重新设计，如放置原木和岩石来制造“潜流结构”，又包括生物干预，如对潜流带进行微生物接种，将两者结合起来，由此推知，林奇的修复项目将物理重新设计与生物干预相结合。故选D。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，特别是第一段中“During a conference, biologist Katherine Lynch proposed rebuilding the creek’s missing “liver” damaged by urbanization. (在一次会议上，生物学家凯瑟琳・林奇提议重建这条因城市化而受损、缺失的溪流“肝脏”)”可知，文章主要讲述了生物学家Katherine Lynch为了恢复西雅图桑顿溪的生态系统，提出重建被城市化破坏的溪流“肝脏”——潜流带的建议，并通过与工程师合作进行了一系列修复工作，最终取得了成功，使奇努克鲑鱼回到了修复后的潜流带产卵。A选项“To Revive a River, Restore Its Liver (要恢复一条河，先恢复它的“肝脏”)”能够很好地概括文章主旨，既体现了修复的对象是河流，又突出了恢复潜流带这一关键内容，是文章的最佳标题。故选A。 D Books are about to become a little less “Impressive!”, “Appealing!” and “Spellbinding!”. Fewer still will offer a “tour de force” (whatever one of those might be). That is because Simon & Schuster, an American publisher, has decided to stop doing book blurbs ( also called “puffs” in Britain) — those invited comments from other authors on the back of books. They are, says Sean Manning, the company’s publisher, “very awkward”. The problem with blurbs is that there is always a need to publicly evaluate books. It is a fact in the life of a writer that if one publicly publishes, one is going to be publicly judged. When negative, such judgments can be painful, when stupid, it can be maddening, but when positive, it can also be a joyful, supportive moment. However, when a writer gets prearranged remarks, it devalues legitimate (合情合理的) responses. The style of a puff is, as the name suggests, breathless. Someone might declare a book “authoritative”; another, “unputdownable”; and a third, “If you can read this book without screaming with excitement, your soul is dead”. You feel guilty, wrote George Orwell, when you are in the library and “fail to scream with delight”. Also, in theory blurbs are testament to an author’s narrative skills. In truth they are a testament to their social ones: they often reflect arm-twisting rather than artistry. Literary heavyweights hate giving them. “We would as soon sell our tears for lemon-drops”, wrote Nathaniel Parker Willis, a poet, than thus “spoil one of the truthful adjectives in the world”. New authors struggle to get blurbs, which is partly why Simon & Schuster is giving them up. Blurbs more often exemplify the very bad writing. Many are less written than pieced up from stock phrases — “A heartbreaking, unputdownable page-turner!” — with an exclamation mark at the end. This makes them exhausting to read! There has been honest copy on dust jackets — T. S. Eliot’s description of Louis MacNeice, a fellow poet, informed readers that “His work is accessible but unpopular” — but it is too rare. It turns out that the habit of using words like “unputdownable” is itself quite putdownable. Mr. Manning says his editors will use the time they save on chasing quotes to instead produce good books. Not, note, “charming” or “absorbing” books but simply “the best books possible”. It is an admirably modest aim. 32. What can we learn about blurbs? A. They serve the interest of book writers. B. They guarantee legitimate responses. C. New authors are sick of writing them. D. Readers feel guilty after reading them. 33. The author uses Eliot’s example mainly to ____________. A. advocate the originality in blurbs B. clarify a misconception about blurbs C. distinguish the various types of current blurbs D. suggest the widespread presence of dishonest blurbs 34. What can we infer from the passage? A. Blurbs are self-defeating. B. There is no need for blurbs. C. Blurbs promote social skills. D. Established authors favor blurbs. 【答案】32. A 33. D 34. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了美国出版商西蒙与舒斯特决定停止在书籍背面使用其他作者的书评式推荐语的现象及原因。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“However, when a writer gets prearranged remarks, it devalues legitimate (合情合理的) responses.(然而，当作家得到预先安排好的评论时，这会降低合法回应的价值)”可知，预先安排好的书评式推荐语（blurbs）损害了读者对书籍的真正评价，即它们并不能保证书籍得到合理的回应，反而是服务于书籍出版商或作者的利益。故选A。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Many are less written than pieced up from stock phrases — “A heartbreaking, unputdownable page-turner!” — with an exclamation mark at the end. This makes them exhausting to read! There has been honest copy on dust jackets — T. S. Eliot’s description of Louis MacNeice, a fellow poet, informed readers that “His work is accessible but unpopular” — but it is too rare.(许多评语与其说是写出来的，不如说是用陈词滥调拼凑起来的 ——“一本令人心碎、令人爱不释手的引人入胜的书！”—— 结尾还带有一个感叹号。这让它们读起来很累！在书的护封上也有诚实的评语 ——T. S. Eliot对同为诗人的路易斯・麦克尼斯的描述告诉读者“他的作品易懂但不受欢迎”—— 但这样的评语太少见了)” 可知，T. S. Eliot的例子是为了说明诚实的评语很少见，也就是不诚实的评语广泛存在。故选D。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“However, when a writer gets prearranged remarks, it devalues legitimate (合情合理的) responses.(然而，当作家得到预先安排好的评论时，这会降低合法回应的价值)”以及第三段中“Also, in theory blurbs are testament to an author’s narrative skills. In truth they are a testament to their social ones: they often reflect arm-twisting rather than artistry.(此外，从理论上讲，书评式推荐语是作者叙事能力的证明。事实上，它们是他们社交能力的证明：它们往往反映的是胁迫，而不是艺术性)”和最后一段中“Mr. Manning says his editors will use the time they save on chasing quotes to instead produce good books.(曼宁表示，他的编辑们将把节省下来寻找引语的时间用来出版好书)”可推知，书评式推荐语（blurbs）往往不是基于书籍的真实质量，而是受到出版商或作者社交手段的影响，它们并不能真实反映书籍的价值，甚至可能损害书籍的声誉，因此可以说是自毁的。故选A。 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2分，共10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 There is considerable evidence from studies with adults that volunteering benefits a person’s physical and mental health. ____35____ A 2023 analysis suggested that young people who had participated in community service were more likely to be in excellent health and stayed calm when faced with challenges. ____36____ It could be that the children volunteers were already in great health. But because of an alarming rise in mental health issues among young people, environmental health scientists believe this early evidence is promising enough to pursue. A 2021 advisory warned that the number of young people reporting constant feelings of sadness or hopelessness had increased by40 percent over the previous decade. There are multiple possible causes, including anxiety over climate change, the effects of social media use and unfriendly personal circumstances. To address these problems, researchers point to the importance of “contribution” as an essential piece of social and emotional development for teenagers. Volunteering is one good way young people can contribute. ____37____ In 2022, developmental psychologist Parissa Ballard and her colleagues tested volunteering as an intervention for nine 14-to-20-year-olds who had been recently diagnosed with mild to moderate depression or anxiety. After 30 hours of volunteer work at community organizations, the average reduction in depressive symptoms was 19 percent. What accounts for the benefits? Helping others improves mood and raises confidence. It provides rich ground for building social connections. It also changes how young people see themselves. Many teens don’t feel important. ____38____ There may be a potential downside to volunteering, however. ____39____ “Young people have to choose something that feels meaningful to them,” Ballard says. Adults can help by offering choices and checking volunteer opportunities to be sure that organizations are well run and equipped to offer a good experience. A. Admittedly, this finding only shows connections. B. Now scientists are finding similar links in children and teenagers. C. This improvement was in comparison with young people who did not volunteer. D The sense of mattering to others translates really well to their needs to connect and belong. E. Everyone in the study enjoyed the work and reported a sense of pride and accomplishment. F. The experience can be harmful if young people feel like they are being forced to participate. G. Volunteering gives them a different sense of themselves, a sense of confidence and self-value. 【答案】35. B 36. A 37. D 38. G 39. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了青少年志愿服务对其身心健康有益及相关研究。 【35题详解】 上文“There is considerable evidence from studies with adults that volunteering benefits a person’s physical and mental health.(有大量针对成年人的研究证据表明，志愿服务有益于一个人的身心健康)”说明成年人志愿服务有益身心健康。空处和前文为顺接关系，说明在青少年中也有类似发现，并引出下文的相关研究。所以B项“现在科学家们在儿童和青少年中也发现了类似的联系。”符合语境。该项中的“similar links”和上文中的“adults that volunteering benefits a person’s physical and mental health”呼应。故选B。 【36题详解】 上文“A 2023 analysis suggested that young people who had participated in community service were more likely to be in excellent health and stayed calm when faced with challenges.(2023年的一项分析表明，参与过社区服务的年轻人更有可能保持极佳的健康状态，并且在面对挑战时能够保持冷静)”以及下文“It could be that the children volunteers were already in great health.(可能是参加志愿活动的孩子本来就很健康)”是对某种发现的一种可能性解释。空处承接上文的发现，并对这种情况给出了认可。A项“诚然，这一发现只是表明了一种联系。”符合语境，引出下文对研究发现局限性的说明，而选项中“this finding”指代了上文中的“young people who had participated in community service were more likely to be in excellent health and stayed calm when faced with challenges”这一发现。故选A。 【37题详解】 上文“To address these problems, researchers point to the importance of “contribution” as an essential piece of social and emotional development for teenagers. Volunteering is one good way young people can contribute.(为了解决这些问题，研究人员指出，“贡献”对于青少年的社会和情感发展至关重要。志愿服务是年轻人可以做出贡献的一种良好方式)”说明了志愿服务是年轻人可以做出贡献的一种良好方式。空处与上文逻辑紧密相连，解释了志愿服务为何能让年轻人做出贡献。D项“对他人的重要性很好地转化为他们建立联系和归属感的需求。”符合语境，是对上文内容的进一步阐述和解释。故选D。 【38题详解】 上文“What accounts for the benefits? Helping others improves mood and raises confidence. It provides rich ground for building social connections. It also changes how young people see themselves. Many teens don’t feel important.(这些好处的原因是什么？帮助他人可以改善情绪，增强信心。它为建立社会联系提供了丰富的基础。这也改变了年轻人对自己的看法。许多青少年觉得自己不重要)”列举了几个志愿者带来好处的原因。C项“志愿活动给了他们一种不同的自我感觉，一种自信和自我价值感。”承接上文说明志愿者服务可以让青少年找到自我，产生自信和自我价值观,改变青少年认为自己不重要的看法。故选G。 【39题详解】 上文“There may be a potential downside to volunteering, however.(然而，志愿服务可能有一个潜在的缺点)”说明志愿服务存在问题。空处具体说明问题所在，F项“如果年轻人觉得自己是被迫参与的，这种经历可能是有害的。”符合语境，解释了志愿服务可能带来负面影响的原因。该项中的“The experience can be harmful”和上文中的“a potential downside”相呼应。故选F。 第三部分 书面表达 (共两节，32分) 第一节 (共4小题;第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分) 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。 Good news for procrastinators (拖延者): There is a way to use procrastination to your advantage. Most procrastinators make the mistake of doing nothing at all. But when you use procrastination as motivation to get things done, you can avoid doing that one thing you really would rather not do and be quite productive. It’s what essayist John Perry calls “structured procrastination”. Let’s say, for example, you have a number of tasks you are avoiding, in order of urgency:1) Finishing an essay; 2) Responding to emails; 3) Cleaning and doing laundry. A non-procrastinator would accomplish these tasks in order of urgency. A procrastinator would avoid doing them altogether. But a structured procrastinator would do them in reverse (反向) — using his desire to avoid writing the essay as motivation to do cleaning and respond to emails. Since he can reprogram by working on other things that are still valuable, he is actually getting a lot done. College senior Jordan Gonen is what you might call a structured procrastinator. When he is overcome with fear of homework, he’ll preoccupy himself with what he calls “quick wins”—sending emails and writing articles for his blog. “It’s still procrastinating my homework, but instead of doing nothing in the meantime, I’m still getting a lot done,” Gonen says. Once he gets through these tasks, Gonen can more easily get into the mindset of tackling his homework. “A lot of these smaller tasks aren’t particularly fun or productive, but if you can really knock them out really quickly over a certain period of time, then you can get a lot more done and it doesn’t feel necessarily worse — you’ re just working 100 percent on whatever you’ re working on,” Gonen says. 40.

Most procrastinators make the mistake of doing nothing at all. But when you use procrastination as motivation to get things done, you can avoid doing that one thing you really would rather not do and be quite productive. It’s what essayist John Perry calls “structured procrastination”. (对于拖延者来说，有个好消息：有一种方法可以让拖延为你所用。大多数拖延者都犯了什么都不做的错误。但当你把拖延当作完成任务的动力时，你可以避开那件你真的不想做的事情，并且还能保持相当高的效率。这就是散文家约翰・佩里所说的“结构化拖延”。)”可知，“结构化拖延”是指把拖延当作完成事情的动力。故答案为Using procrastination as motivation to get things done. 【41题详解】 考查细节理解。由文章第二段中“But a structured procrastinator would do them in reverse (反向) — using his desire to avoid writing the essay as motivation to do cleaning and respond to emails. Since he can reprogram by working on other things that are still valuable, he is actually getting a lot done. (但一个有规划的拖延者会反向做这些事——利用他避免写论文的欲望作为动力去做清洁和回复邮件。因为他可以通过做其他有价值的事情来重新安排自己的时间，所以他实际上做了很多事情。)”可知，有规划的拖延者会通过处理其他仍然有价值的事情来重新规划。故答案为They would reprogram by working on other things that are still valuable. 【42题详解】 考查细节理解。由文章最后一段中““A lot of these smaller tasks aren’t particularly fun or productive, but if you can really knock them out really quickly over a certain period of time, then you can get a lot more done and it doesn’t feel necessarily worse — you’ re just working 100 percent on whatever you’ re working on,” Gonen says. (Gonen说：“很多这样的小任务并不是特别有趣或高效，但如果你能在一定时间内迅速完成它们，那么你就能完成更多的事情，而且感觉也不一定更糟——你只是全身心地投入到正在做的事情中。”)”可知，Gonen先完成这些较小的任务，并不是因为它们有趣且富有成效，而是因为快速完成这些任务后可以完成更多的事情。所以“Gonen gets through his smaller tasks first because they are fun and productive.”这句话中“because they are fun and productive”部分错误。故答案为Gonen gets through his smaller tasks first because they are fun and productive. Because they can help Gonen get into the mindset of tackling his homework. 【43题详解】 开放性题目。此题要求回答：你会在日常生活中使用结构化拖延吗？为什么或为什么不呢？答案不唯一，合理即可。例如：是的，我会采用结构化拖延法。通过先处理一些较小且有价值的任务（比如回复电子邮件），我能够积攒动力，并且避免焦虑。这样一来，在推迟处理棘手工作的同时，我仍能取得进展，在工作效率和内心轻松之间达成平衡。故答案为Yes, I’d use structured procrastination. By tackling smaller, valuable tasks first (like emails), I’d build momentum and avoid anxiety. This way, I’d still achieve progress while postponing tough work, striking a balance between productivity and mental ease. 第二节 (20分) 44. 假设你是红星中学高三学生李华。你的外国好友Jim所在学校正在开展阅读周系列活动。他打算策划一次“介绍中国文学”的活动，发来邮件询问你的建议。请你用英文给他回复，内容包括： 1.活动形式； 2.活动内容。 注意: 1. 词数100左右； 2.开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Jim, _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Jim, Excited to hear you’re planning an event to introduce Chinese literature!
