The following day, enjoy visits inside three of the major sights such as Buckingham Palace, St Paul’s Cathedral, the Horse Guards, Tower Bridge, and the Tower of London. Or for regular visitors explore the lesser-known sights such as Shakespeare’s Globe, Churchill’s Cabinet War Rooms, or Notting Hill. On your third day your guide will drive you to Bath, a fascinating World Heritage City. Visit also 5,000-year-old Stonehenge before returning to London. The next day, travel by Eurostar to the heart of Paris. See many of this city’s main sights, such as the Jardin du Luxembourg and Avenue des Champs-Elysées. Visit The Notre Dame Cathedral representing the height of the perfect French Gothic architecture, and The Conciergerie where Marie Antoinette was imprisoned. On the last day leave Paris for a 12-hour day trip to Normandy. Your guide will customize the tour to show you the D-Day beaches, memorials and World War Ⅱ cemeteries (公墓). See, for example, Pegasus Bridge, Arromanches with Mulberry Harbour and its sea front war museum, and continue on to Omaha beach, the impressive American cemetery and Pointe du Hoc before returning to Paris. The tour concludes with drop-off at a Paris airport or train station or hotel with optional Eurostar return to London. PRICE INCLUDES A qualified guide just for your party for each guided tour, private vehicle, entrance fees, and accommodation but not parking or meals, plus a one-way Eurostar ticket from London to Paris in standard class. 16. When can tourists visit some of London’s main attractions? A. On Day 1. B. On Day 2. C. On Day 3. D. On Day 4. 17. Which location is associated with World War Ⅱ? A. Pegasus Bridge. B.

The return journey from Paris. B To the dynamic beat of Aretha Franklin’s songs, families sit in the crowd at the hall of the Manilla School. They are waiting, eager for the moment when students will participate in a one-of-a-kind program called Spark. The meeting will pair students with volunteer apprentice (学徒) teachers. Lawyers, hair stylists, and software developers will meet up with students who have selected their occupations as the ones they would most like to learn about. Spark apprenticeships provide workplace experiences that bring economically disadvantaged teens into contact with a world they have probably only imagined. Nationally, some 30 percent of US high school students drop out. While improved curricula (课程), better teaching, and modern equipment may be part of the solution, “you have to have the relevance,” says Mr. Balme of his six-year-old Spark program. The gap between those worlds — one of limited expectations and hardship, the other of success and prosperity (繁荣) — hit Balme one day when he was volunteering as a science teacher at a public school in Philadelphia. He was also studying at the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania. The public school was in bad shape, with a high dropout rate. While walking back to Wharton, Balme realized he was “seeing all the resources, and yet these kids had no idea what was right there all around them.” That’s when everything fell into place. The problem and the solution were right next to each other. In 2004, he and Melia Dicker founded Spark. Apprenticeships are “not rocket science,” says Holly Depatie, Spark board chair. But other coaching programs, such as Boys and Girls Clubs of America, while pairing youngsters with adults, don’t specifically target learning about jobs. So far, Spark has created more than 700 apprenticeships in the San Francisco Bay Area and Los Angeles. 19. How does Spark help the students? A. By updating teaching equipment. B. By offering hands-on experiences. C. By financing young apprentices. D. By improving school curricula. 20. What is the major drive for Balme to set up Spark? A. The dropout rate of US high schools. B. The prosperity in famous universities. C. The expectation of disadvantaged teens. D. The imbalance in educational resources. 21. Which word best describes Balme? A Reserved. B. Grateful. C. Observant. D. Modest. 22. What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph? A. To show Spark’s distinction. B. To justify similar programs. C. To tackle Spark’s challenge. D. To criticize current situations. C Every time we make a new video or send an email, or post a photo of our latest meal, it’s like turning on a small light bulb (灯泡) that’ ll never be turned off. This points to an uncomfortable and extremely modern question: To help save the planet, should we be using less data? Given how much of modern life depends on digital data, the answer could be a key aspect to living nobly in the AI age. Why do posts produce carbon at all? When you send a post on Moments, it goes along a chain of energy-burning electronics. Your Wi-Fi router sends the signal along wires to the local exchange — the box on the street corner — and from there to a telecoms company, and from there to huge data centers operated by the tech giants. Each of those runs on electricity, and it all adds up. Today, about 400 million homes worldwide have at least one “smart” device— curtains, electric cookers, refrigerators, and pads. By 2028, that figure is expected to nearly double. We are, in other words, being taken into a world where it’s harder to do anything without turning on a digital light bulb. This puts eco-conscious consumers in a bind. After all, who would like to be someone that can’t get their information properly because they’re too busy keeping the carbon footprint of their searches down? In the absence of systemic change, worrying over our individual data-usage decisions is “like trying to hold back a flood with a bucket and spade (铁铲).” Still, there’s something we can do. When we face a digital decision, the less data-thirsty option will often be the smarter one. Blocking third-party tracking when we’ re on the web, for example, not only reduces the power consumption of internet browsing; it’s also good for your privacy. More fundamentally, maybe we don’t need to turn everything into data. If I put down my phone the next time I’m on a train, it won’t save the planet. But I’ll be looking out the window with my own eyes, creating a memory that releases no carbon at all. 23. What does the author imply about data usage? A. It is energy-consuming. B. It is easy and convenient. C. Its negative effects are ignored. D. Its benefits are underestimated. 24. What is the function of paragraph 2? A. To entertain. B. To inform. C. To persuade. D. To inspire. 25. What do the underlined words “in a bind” mean in paragraph 3? A. At risk. B. At a loss. C. At ease. D. At a disadvantage. 26. What does the author emphasize concerning carbon reduction in the last paragraph? A. The removal of digital data. B. The promotion of ecotourism. C. The value of personal contribution. D. The significance of systemic change. D King Shahryar, betrayed (背叛) by his wife, decides to marry a new woman each night and have her killed by morning to ensure he is never betrayed again. Scheherazade volunteers to marry the king. Each evening, she begins an engaging story but stops at dawn, leaving him eager for more. Night after night, she keeps him attracted with new tales, and over 1,001 nights, the king falls in love with her and abandons his cruel ways. This ancient tale from One Thousand and One Nights highlights storytelling’s impact. Our recent research shows that strong storytelling skills can dramatically improve someone’s well-being. At its core, storytelling helps people find meaning from life’s chaos. Studies show we shape our identities by turning experiences into personal stories. Skilled storytellers excel at two key skills: they need to connect events logically and they must learn to see the world through the eyes of their characters, understanding the “why” of what drives people. Applying these two skills to their own lives, skillful storytellers use the first to identify and pursue what gives their life meaning, while the second develops a mindset that prioritizes the “why” behind their actions over just the “how”. To illustrate this point, we conducted studies with 800 participants. We measured storytelling ability through self-reports, friend evaluations and expert reviews on lab experiments where each participant told one story about himself and the other with three given random words. In addition to these assessments of storytelling skills, we asked participants questions to get a sense of how meaningful they found life and whether they approached decisions with a “why” mindset rather than a “how” mindset. Results consistently linked storytelling skills to stronger life meaning and goal clarity. Personality also mattered: people open to new experiences collected more interesting life stories, while shy people used storytelling to balance out their limited social interaction. A strong “why” mindset connects with reduced stress and extended life. Storytelling also builds social connections. By helping people express their purpose and build relationships, stories may indirectly strengthen both mental and physical health. Storytelling workshops, now popular globally, may do more than teach communication they could help participants redefine their life’s direction. 27. Why does the author mention Scheherazade’s stories in the first paragraph? A. To show Scheherazade’s cleverness. B. To entertain readers with a classic tale. C. To introduce the topic of storytelling. D. To compare ancient and modern stories. 28. What does the “why” mindset primarily focus on? A. Completing daily tasks efficiently. B. Avoiding stressful situations. C. Memorizing random life events. D. Understanding life’s purpose. 29. What were participants asked to do in the lab experiment? A. Share personal interests in a group. B. Tell a story with words provided. C. Reflect on the “why” behind their actions. D. Connect events into a meaningful story. 30. Which can be the best title for the text? A. Scheherazade’s Survival in an Ancient Tale B. How People’s Storytelling Abilities Develop C. Living a Meaningful Life through Storytelling D. Why Shy People Attend Storytelling Workshops 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。 How to Use Your Inner Voice We all have an inner voice, and while it can be supportive, it can also become overly critical. The good news: ____31____ Here are three science-backed strategies to refine (改善) your inner dialogue, inspired by the groundbreaking work of psychologist Ethan Kross. Distancing Ourselves from Negative Thoughts ____32____ Kross’s research on self-distancing offers a powerful solution. By referring to yourself in the third person or using your own name, you create psychological distance which reduces emotional reactivity. For instance, instead of thinking, “I’m failing”, try telling yourself, “[Add Your Name], you’re learning through this challenge.” This simple shift can help you approach problems with clarity and objectivity. Inner Coach vs. Inner Critic ____33____ It helps us plan, solve problems, and motivate ourselves. But it can also make us more anxious and hurt our relationships. Kross recommends that we should make the most of its good points while keeping its bad ones in check. When you’re faced with self-criticism, try shifting to your inner coach for guidance. These slight changes in how we talk to ourselves can lower our stress and help us solve problems better. Growing through Positive Self-Dialogue Building a constructive inner voice requires practice. Just before bed, journal about a moment where positive self-talk helped you. ____34____ Over time, this habit can help reinforce a growth mindset and prepare you to tackle challenges with more confidence. Conclusion By practicing self-distancing, reframing criticism, and reflecting on positive moments, you can turn your inner voice into a source of strength and clarity. ____35____ A. Our inner voice cuts both ways. B Feeling overwhelmed by your inner critic? C. Talking to yourself empowered you during tough times. D. Self-talk can be transformed into a tool for growth and success. E. We can learn to identify negative thought patterns and avoid them. F. Start today — because your inner voice shapes how you show up in the world. G. Reflect on how it shaped your response and what you can carry into tomorrow. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I was raised to believe that showing my strength was the best way to face life.

The snowstorm, which had swept over the whole city throughout the night and persisted well into the morning, had transformed the roads into a terrible mess. The thick layer of snow made driving a headache. In my rush to get to the office on time, I simply didn’t have a moment to spare for clearing the driveway in the morning. As I finally pulled into my driveway, my heart sank like a stone. The car’s wheels spun (旋转) helplessly, digging deeper into the snow with each pointless attempt. It quickly became clear that I was firmly stuck in the deep snow. I tried with all my might to push the car, my feet slipping on the icy ground, but the weight of the vehicle and the resistance of the snow made it an impossible task for a single person. Disappointment welled up inside me, and I began to complain about my bad luck. Just when I was on the verge of giving up, a car pulled up beside mine. A young man with a friendly face quickly got out and, without a word, started pushing my car from the back. With his help, I managed to get the car moving after a few minutes of intense effort. Relieved, I was about to thank him and drive away when I reached for my house keys and realized they were missing. I crazily searched every comer of my car, my hands shaking with anxiety. I emptied my pockets, and even checked under the seats, but they were nowhere to be found. The thought of spending the freezing night in my car was terrifying, and a shiver ran down my back at the mere thought. 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Realizing that I was in a difficult situation, the young man came over. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Suddenly, he let out a shout of excitement. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 深圳市新安中学2024—2025学年第二学期期中考试 高二英语试题 注意事项： 1. 答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号、考试科目用铅笔涂写在答题卡上。 2. 每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其它答案，不能答在试题卷上。 第一部分 语言知识（本题包括15小题，每小题1分，共15分） 1.

A. that , that B. this , what C. it , that D. her, that 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查固定句型。句意：苏珊向我明确表示，她希望开始自己的新生活。此处为make it adj. to sb. that，it作形式宾语，从句为真正宾语。故选C。 15. The main reason ________ monarch butterflies are endangered is ________ lots of places ________ used to be home to them have been seriously destroyed. A. why; because; where B. that; because; which C. why; that; where D. why; that; which 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】考查定语从句和表语从句。句意：帝王蝶濒危的主要原因是许多曾经是它们栖息地的地方已经被严重破坏了。the reason why…is that…为固定句式，意为“……的原因是……”，在此句式中，why引导定语从句，that引导表语从句，根据语意“帝王蝶濒危的主要原因是许多地方被严重破坏”可知，第一空应用why，第二空应用that；第三空，lots of places后接定语从句，先行词places在定语从句中作主语，所以用关系代词which或that引导定语从句。故选D项。 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 England and France Tour PRIVATE CAR/MINIBUS — 5 DAYS ABOUT THE TOUR Your guide will take you on a 3-hour panoramic (全景的) tour of London upon airport pickup.

They are waiting, eager for the moment when students will participate in a one-of-a-kind program called Spark. The meeting will pair students with volunteer apprentice (学徒) teachers. Lawyers, hair stylists, and software developers will meet up with students who have selected their occupations as the ones they would most like to learn about. Spark apprenticeships provide workplace experiences that bring economically disadvantaged teens into contact with a world they have probably only imagined. Nationally, some 30 percent of US high school students drop out. While improved curricula (课程), better teaching, and modern equipment may be part of the solution, “you have to have the relevance,” says Mr. Balme of his six-year-old Spark program. The gap between those worlds — one of limited expectations and hardship, the other of success and prosperity (繁荣) — hit Balme one day when he was volunteering as a science teacher at a public school in Philadelphia. He was also studying at the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania. The public school was in bad shape, with a high dropout rate. While walking back to Wharton, Balme realized he was “seeing all the resources, and yet these kids had no idea what was right there all around them.” That’s when everything fell into place. The problem and the solution were right next to each other. In 2004, he and Melia Dicker founded Spark. Apprenticeships are “not rocket science,” says Holly Depatie, Spark board chair. But other coaching programs, such as Boys and Girls Clubs of America, while pairing youngsters with adults, don’t specifically target learning about jobs. So far, Spark has created more than 700 apprenticeships in the San Francisco Bay Area and Los Angeles. 19. How does Spark help the students? A. By updating teaching equipment. B. By offering hands-on experiences. C. By financing young apprentices. D. By improving school curricula. 20 What is the major drive for Balme to set up Spark? A. The dropout rate of US high schools. B. The prosperity in famous universities. C. The expectation of disadvantaged teens. D. The imbalance in educational resources. 21. Which word best describes Balme? A. Reserved. B. Grateful. C. Observant. D. Modest. 22. What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph? A. To show Spark’s distinction. B. To justify similar programs. C. To tackle Spark’s challenge. D. To criticize current situations. 【答案】19. B 20. D 21. C 22. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要介绍了Spark项目，包括其起源、目的、实施方式以及与其他教练项目的区别。 【19题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Spark apprenticeships provide workplace experiences that bring economically disadvantaged teens into contact with a world they have probably only imagined.(Spark学徒计划提供了职场经验，让经济状况不佳的青少年接触到一个他们可能只是想象出来的世界。)”可知，该项目通过提供实践经验帮助学生。故选B。 【20题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The gap between those worlds — one of limited expectations and hardship, the other of success and prosperity (繁荣) — hit Balme one day when he was volunteering as a science teacher at a public school in Philadelphia.(当Balme在费城的一所公立学校担任科学教师志愿者时，他有一天深刻感受到了这两个世界之间的鸿沟——一个是期望有限、充满艰辛的世界，另一个是成功与繁荣的世界。)”可知，教育资源的不平衡促使他创立Spark。故选D。 【21题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“The gap between those worlds — one of limited expectations and hardship, the other of success and prosperity (繁荣) — hit Balme one day when he was volunteering as a science teacher at a public school in Philadelphia.(当Balme在费城的一所公立学校担任科学教师志愿者时，他有一天深刻感受到了这两个世界之间的鸿沟——一个是期望有限、充满艰辛的世界，另一个是成功与繁荣的世界。)”可知，Balme能发现教育资源的不平衡问题，说明他善于观察的。故选C。 【22题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Apprenticeships are “not rocket science,” says Holly Depatie, Spark board chair. But other coaching programs, such as Boys and Girls Clubs of America, while pairing youngsters with adults, don’t specifically target learning about jobs.(Spark董事会主席Holly Depatie表示，学徒“不是火箭科学”。但其他一些培训项目，比如Boys and Girls Clubs of America，虽然将青少年与成年人配对，但并不专门针对学习工作。)”可知，最后一段指出其他辅导项目不像Spark专门针对职业学习，突出了Spark的独特之处。故选A。 C Every time we make a new video or send an email, or post a photo of our latest meal, it’s like turning on a small light bulb (灯泡) that’ ll never be turned off. This points to an uncomfortable and extremely modern question: To help save the planet, should we be using less data? Given how much of modern life depends on digital data, the answer could be a key aspect to living nobly in the AI age. Why do posts produce carbon at all? When you send a post on Moments, it goes along a chain of energy-burning electronics. Your Wi-Fi router sends the signal along wires to the local exchange — the box on the street corner — and from there to a telecoms company, and from there to huge data centers operated by the tech giants. Each of those runs on electricity, and it all adds up. Today, about 400 million homes worldwide have at least one “smart” device— curtains, electric cookers, refrigerators, and pads. By 2028, that figure is expected to nearly double. We are, in other words, being taken into a world where it’s harder to do anything without turning on a digital light bulb. This puts eco-conscious consumers in a bind. After all, who would like to be someone that can’t get their information properly because they’re too busy keeping the carbon footprint of their searches down? In the absence of systemic change, worrying over our individual data-usage decisions is “like trying to hold back a flood with a bucket and spade (铁铲).” Still, there’s something we can do. When we face a digital decision, the less data-thirsty option will often be the smarter one. Blocking third-party tracking when we’ re on the web, for example, not only reduces the power consumption of internet browsing; it’s also good for your privacy. More fundamentally, maybe we don’t need to turn everything into data. If I put down my phone the next time I’m on a train, it won’t save the planet. But I’ll be looking out the window with my own eyes, creating a memory that releases no carbon at all. 23. What does the author imply about data usage? A. It is energy-consuming. B. It is easy and convenient. C. Its negative effects are ignored. D. Its benefits are underestimated. 24. What is the function of paragraph 2? A. To entertain. B. To inform. C. To persuade. D. To inspire. 25. What do the underlined words “in a bind” mean in paragraph 3? A. At risk. B. At a loss. C. At ease. D. At a disadvantage. 26. What does the author emphasize concerning carbon reduction in the last paragraph? A. The removal of digital data. B. The promotion of ecotourism. C. The value of personal contribution. D. The significance of systemic change. 【答案】23. A 24. B 25. B 26. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要探讨了数字数据使用对环境的影响，强调了在AI时代减少碳排放的必要性。文章通过分析数据传输过程中的碳排放问题，指出随着智能设备的普及，数据使用对环境的影响日益显著。尽管系统性变革是关键，但个人在数据使用上的选择也能对环保产生积极影响。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Every time we make a new video or send an email, or post a photo of our latest meal, it’s like turning on a small light bulb (灯泡) that’ll never be turned off. This points to an uncomfortable and extremely modern question: To help save the planet, should we be using less data? Given how much of modern life depends on digital data, the answer could be a key aspect to living nobly in the AI age.(每次我们制作一个新视频、发一封电子邮件、发布一张我们最近吃的饭的照片，就像打开了一个永远关不掉的小灯泡。这就引出了一个让人不舒服但又非常现代的问题：为了拯救地球，我们应该减少数据的使用吗？考虑到现代生活在很大程度上依赖于数字数据，这个问题的答案可能是在人工智能时代高尚生活的一个关键方面。)”和第二段的“When you send a post on Moments, it goes along a chain of energy-burning electronics. Your Wi-Fi router sends the signal along wires to the local exchange — the box on the street corner — and from there to a telecoms company, and from there to huge data centers operated by the tech giants. Each of those runs on electricity, and it all adds up.(当你在朋友圈发一条帖子时，它会通过一系列耗能的电子设备。你的Wi-Fi路由器通过电线将信号发送到本地交换机——街角的盒子——然后从那里发送到电信公司，再从那里发送到由科技巨头运营的大型数据中心。每一个都是用电运行的，这些都加起来了。)”可知，作者指出每一次发送信总、发布照片等行为都会产生碳排放，因为这些行为都依赖于一系列耗电的电了设备。故选A。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段内容“Why do posts produce carbon at all? When you send a post on Moments, it goes along a chain of energy-burning electronics. Your Wi-Fi router sends the signal along wires to the local exchange — the box on the street corner — and from there to a telecoms company, and from there to huge data centers operated by the tech giants. Each of those runs on electricity, and it all adds up.( 为什么帖子会产生碳呢？当你在朋友圈发一条帖子时，它会通过一系列耗能的电子设备。你的Wi-Fi路由器通过电线将信号发送到本地交换机——街角的盒子——然后从那里发送到电信公司，再从那里发送到由科技巨头运营的大型数据中心。每一个都是用电运行的，这些都加起来了。)”详细解释了数据发布过程小能源消耗的具体环节，包括数据从用户设备传输到数据中心的路径及共对电力的依赖。因此推断这一段的主要目的是向读者传递信息，解释数据使用为何会产生碳排放。故选B。 【25题详解】 词义猎测题。根据下文“After all, who would like to be someone that can’t get their information properly because they’re too busy keeping the carbon footprint of their searches down?(毕竟，谁愿意成为一个因为忙于降低搜索的碳足迹而无法正确获取信息的人呢？)”和作者提到“This puts eco-conscious consumers in a bind.（这让有环保意识的消费者陷入了困境。)”环保意识的消费者会in a bind可推断，他们既希望减少碳足迹，又不想错过获取信息的机会。因此，“in a bind”可以理解为“陷入困境”。故选B。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。最后一段“Still, there’s something we can do. When we face a digital decision, the less data-thirsty option will often be the smarter one. Blocking third-party tracking when we’ re on the web, for example, not only reduces the power consumption of internet browsing; it’s also good for your privacy. More fundamentally, maybe we don’t need to turn everything into data. If I put down my phone the next time I’m on a train, it won’t save the planet. But I’ll be looking out the window with my own eyes, creating a memory that releases no carbon at all.(不过，我们还是有办法的。当我们面临数字化决策时，对数据需求较少的选择往往是更明智的选择。例如，当我们上网时阻止第三方跟踪，不仅减少了互联网浏览的功耗；这对你的隐私也有好处。更根本的是，也许我们不需要把所有东西都变成数据。如果我下次在火车上放下手机，那也不能拯救地球。但我会用自己的眼睛看着窗外，创造一段完全不释放碳的记忆。)”提到，尽管个人行为对整体环境影响有限，们我们仍可以在口常生活小做出更环保的选择，例如减少数据使用或关闭第一方追踪。因此推断作者强调即使个人页献微小，也有价值。故选C。 D King Shahryar, betrayed (背叛) by his wife, decides to marry a new woman each night and have her killed by morning to ensure he is never betrayed again. Scheherazade volunteers to marry the king. Each evening, she begins an engaging story but stops at dawn, leaving him eager for more. Night after night, she keeps him attracted with new tales, and over 1,001 nights, the king falls in love with her and abandons his cruel ways. This ancient tale from One Thousand and One Nights highlights storytelling’s impact. Our recent research shows that strong storytelling skills can dramatically improve someone’s well-being. At its core, storytelling helps people find meaning from life’s chaos. Studies show we shape our identities by turning experiences into personal stories. Skilled storytellers excel at two key skills: they need to connect events logically and they must learn to see the world through the eyes of their characters, understanding the “why” of what drives people. Applying these two skills to their own lives, skillful storytellers use the first to identify and pursue what gives their life meaning, while the second develops a mindset that prioritizes the “why” behind their actions over just the “how”. To illustrate this point, we conducted studies with 800 participants. We measured storytelling ability through self-reports, friend evaluations and expert reviews on lab experiments where each participant told one story about himself and the other with three given random words. In addition to these assessments of storytelling skills, we asked participants questions to get a sense of how meaningful they found life and whether they approached decisions with a “why” mindset rather than a “how” mindset. Results consistently linked storytelling skills to stronger life meaning and goal clarity. Personality also mattered: people open to new experiences collected more interesting life stories, while shy people used storytelling to balance out their limited social interaction. A strong “why” mindset connects with reduced stress and extended life. Storytelling also builds social connections. By helping people express their purpose and build relationships, stories may indirectly strengthen both mental and physical health. Storytelling workshops, now popular globally, may do more than teach communication they could help participants redefine their life’s direction. 27. Why does the author mention Scheherazade’s stories in the first paragraph? A. To show Scheherazade’s cleverness. B. To entertain readers with a classic tale. C. To introduce the topic of storytelling. D. To compare ancient and modern stories. 28. What does the “why” mindset primarily focus on? A. Completing daily tasks efficiently. B. Avoiding stressful situations. C. Memorizing random life events. D. Understanding life’s purpose. 29. What were participants asked to do in the lab experiment? A. Share personal interests in a group. B. Tell a story with words provided. C. Reflect on the “why” behind their actions. D. Connect events into a meaningful story. 30. Which can be the best title for the text? A. Scheherazade’s Survival in an Ancient Tale B. How People’s Storytelling Abilities Develop C. Living a Meaningful Life through Storytelling D. Why Shy People Attend Storytelling Workshops 【答案】27. C 28. D 29. B 30. C 【解析】 【导语】这篇文章是一篇说明文。主要探讨了讲故事能力对个人幸福感和生活意义的积极影响，并结合研究数据分析了其背后的心理学机制。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“This ancient tale from One Thousand and One Nights highlights storytelling’s impact. Our recent research shows that strong storytelling skills can dramatically improve someone’s well-being. (这个出自《一千零一夜》的古老故事彰显了讲故事的影响力。我们最新的研究表明，出色的讲故事能力能显著提升一个人的幸福感。)”可知，作者引用舍赫拉查德（Scheherazade）的故事是为了引出“讲故事”这一主题，后文内容均围绕讲故事的作用展开。故选C项。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“Applying these two skills to their own lives, skillful storytellers use the first to identify and pursue what gives their life meaning, while the second develops a mindset that prioritizes the “why” behind their actions over just the “how”. (将这两种技能运用到生活中时，娴熟的讲故事者会运用第一种技能来发现并追寻生命的意义，而第二种技能则能培养一种思维方式——这种思维更关注行为背后的“为什么”，而不仅仅是“怎么做”。)”可知，“为什么思维”关注的是做某行为背后的目的和意义是什么。故选D项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段第二句“We measured storytelling ability through self-reports, friend evaluations and expert reviews on lab experiments where each participant told one story about himself and the other with three given random words. (我们通过三种方式评估参与者的叙事能力：自我报告、朋友评价，以及在实验室实验中的专家评审——实验中每位参与者需要讲述两个故事：一个是关于自己的亲身经历，另一个则需运用三个随机提供的词语进行即兴创作。)”可知，实验要求参与者用给定词语编故事。故选B项。 【30题详解】 主旨大意题。全文以舍赫拉查德（Scheherazade）的故事开篇，重点讨论讲故事如何帮助人们找到生活意义（第三段）、研究结果（第四至六段）及其对心理健康的益处（第七段）。“通过讲故事过上有意义的生活”能概括全文核心，适合用作标题。故选C项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Use Your Inner Voice We all have an inner voice, and while it can be supportive, it can also become overly critical. The good news: ____31____ Here are three science-backed strategies to refine (改善) your inner dialogue, inspired by the groundbreaking work of psychologist Ethan Kross. Distancing Ourselves from Negative Thoughts ____32____ Kross’s research on self-distancing offers a powerful solution. By referring to yourself in the third person or using your own name, you create psychological distance which reduces emotional reactivity. For instance, instead of thinking, “I’m failing”, try telling yourself, “[Add Your Name], you’re learning through this challenge.” This simple shift can help you approach problems with clarity and objectivity. Inner Coach vs. Inner Critic ____33____ It helps us plan solve problems, and motivate ourselves. But it can also make us more anxious and hurt our relationships. Kross recommends that we should make the most of its good points while keeping its bad ones in check. When you’re faced with self-criticism, try shifting to your inner coach for guidance. These slight changes in how we talk to ourselves can lower our stress and help us solve problems better. Growing through Positive Self-Dialogue Building a constructive inner voice requires practice. Just before bed, journal about a moment where positive self-talk helped you. ____34____ Over time, this habit can help reinforce a growth mindset and prepare you to tackle challenges with more confidence. Conclusion By practicing self-distancing, reframing criticism, and reflecting on positive moments, you can turn your inner voice into a source of strength and clarity. ____35____ A. Our inner voice cuts both ways. B. Feeling overwhelmed by your inner critic? C. Talking to yourself empowered you during tough times. D. Self-talk can be transformed into a tool for growth and success. E. We can learn to identify negative thought patterns and avoid them. F. Start today — because your inner voice shapes how you show up in the world. G. Reflect on how it shaped your response and what you can carry into tomorrow. 【答案】31. D 32. B 33. A 34. G 35. F 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何改善内心声音的三个策略。 【31题详解】 上文“We all have an inner voice, and while it can be supportive, it can also become overly critical. The good news:(我们都有一个内心的声音，虽然它可能是支持的，但它也可能变得过于挑剔。好消息是：)”说明我们内心的声音有时候好有时候过于挑剔，但好消息是不好的内心声音可以避免，选项D“自我对话可以转化为成长和成功的工具。”承接上文，是对上文好消息的解释，故选D项。 【32题详解】 下文“Kross’s research on self-distancing offers a powerful solution.(克罗斯关于自我疏远的研究提供了一个强有力的解决方案)”说明是在对存在的问题进行解决，并且是关于内在批评的，选项B“感觉被你内心的批评者压倒了吗”引出下文，先提出问题，再提供解决方案。故选B项。 【33题详解】 下文“It helps us plan, solve problems, and motivate ourselves. But it can also make us more anxious and hurt our relationships.(它帮助我们计划，解决问题和激励自己。但它也会让我们更加焦虑，伤害我们的关系)”说明内在的声音可以起到好坏两方面的作用，选项A“我们内心的声音是双向的。”引出下文，是对下文的总结，故选A项。 【34题详解】 上文“Just before bed, journal about a moment where positive self-talk helped you.(睡前，记录一下积极的自我对话对你有帮助的时刻)”说明睡前要反思，记下积极的自我对话对你有帮助的时刻，选项G“反思它是如何塑造你的反应的，以及你明天可以做些什么。”承接上文，睡前除了记录积极的自我对话对你有帮助的时刻，还要反思它是如何塑造你的反应的，并引出下文“Over time, this habit can help reinforce a growth mindset and prepare you to tackle challenges with more confidence.(随着时间的推移，这个习惯可以帮助你加强成长的心态，让你更自信地应对挑战)”。故选G项。 【35题详解】 上文“By practicing self-distancing, reframing criticism, and reflecting on positive moments, you can turn your inner voice into a source of strength and clarity.(通过练习自我疏远，重新审视批评，反思积极的时刻，你可以把你内心的声音变成力量和清晰的源泉)”说明通过一些做法，把内心的声音转变成力量，选项F“从今天开始——因为你内心的声音决定了你在这个世界上的表现。”承接上文，从今天开始坚持这些具体做法，强调内心声音的重要性。故选F项。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I was raised to believe that showing my strength was the best way to face life.

The snowstorm, which had swept over the whole city throughout the night and persisted well into the morning, had transformed the roads into a terrible mess. The thick layer of snow made driving a headache. In my rush to get to the office on time, I simply didn’t have a moment to spare for clearing the driveway in the morning. As I finally pulled into my driveway, my heart sank like a stone. The car’s wheels spun (旋转) helplessly, digging deeper into the snow with each pointless attempt. It quickly became clear that I was firmly stuck in the deep snow. I tried with all my might to push the car, my feet slipping on the icy ground, but the weight of the vehicle and the resistance of the snow made it an impossible task for a single person. Disappointment welled up inside me, and I began to complain about my bad luck. Just when I was on the verge of giving up, a car pulled up beside mine. A young man with a friendly face quickly got out and, without a word, started pushing my car from the back. With his help, I managed to get the car moving after a few minutes of intense effort. Relieved, I was about to thank him and drive away when I reached for my house keys and realized they were missing. I crazily searched every comer of my car, my hands shaking with anxiety. I emptied my pockets, and even checked under the seats, but they were nowhere to be found. The thought of spending the freezing night in my car was terrifying, and a shiver ran down my back at the mere thought. 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Realizing that I was in a difficult situation, the young man came over. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Suddenly, he let out a shout of excitement. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Realizing that I was in a difficult situation, the young man came over. He asked what was wrong. After I tearfully explained the situation, he didn’t hesitate but immediately offered to help once more. We bent down in the snow around the car. He used his hands to dig through the thick snow, and I carefully retraced my steps from the moment I got out of the vehicle, looking for any signs of the keys. The cold wind blew harshly at our faces, making the search even more difficult. Each passing second filled me with more dread. What if I never found my keys? Suddenly, he let out a shout of excitement. “I found them!” he exclaimed, holding up my keys. I felt a rush of relief wash over me, and tears of gratitude filled my eyes. When I asked how I could possibly repay him, he simply smiled and said, “Pay it forward.” That simple act of kindness on a cold, snowy day taught me a profound lesson. In the midst of our own struggles, a small act of kindness can be a ray of hope for others. From that day forward, I made a firm promise to myself to always be ready to lend a helping hand, just as that kind stranger did for me. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了作者在经历了一天疲惫工作后，因暴雪被困在自家车道，一位年轻人帮助他推车，之后又帮他寻找丢失的家门钥匙的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“意识到我处境艰难，年轻人走了过来。”可知，第一段可描写年轻人询问情况后，与作者一起在雪中寻找钥匙，天气寒冷，作者内心越发焦虑。 ②由第二段首句内容“突然，他兴奋地大叫了一声。”可知，第二段可描写年轻人找到了钥匙，作者感到如释重负并对他充满感激，年轻人让作者将这份善意传递下去，作者深受触动并决定以后也要乐于助人。 2.续写线索：被困雪中——年轻人帮忙推车——发现钥匙丢失——一起寻找钥匙——找到钥匙——作者决定传递善意。 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①询问：ask/inquire/question ②解释：explain/account for ③寻找：look for/search for/seek 情绪类 ①害怕：dread/fear/terror ②感激：gratitude/appreciation/thankfulness 【点睛】【高分句型1】After I tearfully explained the situation, he didn’t hesitate but immediately offered to help once more.（运用了after引导的时间状语从句） 【高分句型2】When I asked how I could possibly repay him, he simply smiled and said, “Pay it forward.”（运用了when引导的时间状语从句和how引导的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
