Thank you for selecting us for your two-week work experience. I’m Julia, the managing director here. Stevenson’s is quite an old company. It was set up in 1923 by Ronald Stevenson who went into the steel industry when he left school. Originally, Stevenson’s planned to produce spare parts for the machine tools industry, but that never materialized. Shortly before the company went into production, Stevenson was given the opportunity to make goods for hospitals, so that’s what we did for the first five years. Now, let’s give you an overview of what you’ll be doing during your two-week stay with us. Most mornings, you’ll attend a presentation by one of our managers to learn about their respective departments. And you’ll spend some time in each department, observing and talking to people. Normally, a teacher from your school would come in weekly to check on the group’s progress, but your school is unable to arrange that this year. OK, are there any questions before we move on? 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 Urban Sustainability Challenge (USC) is a national competition inviting high school teams to design actionable solutions for urban environmental issues.

School was all but impossible for Sparky. He failed every subject in the eighth grade. He failed physics in high school, getting a grade of zero. He also failed Latin, algebra and English. And his record in sports wasn’t any better. Though he did manage to make the school’s golf team, he quickly lost the only important match of the season. Oh, there was a consolation match (安慰赛); he lost that too. Throughout his youth, Sparky was awkward socially. It wasn’t that the other students disliked him; it’s just that no one really cared all that much. In fact, Sparky was astonished if a classmate ever said hello to him outside of school hours. Sparky was a loser. He, his classmates... everyone knew it. One thing was important to Sparky, however — drawing. He was proud of his artwork. No one else appreciated it. But that didn’t seem to matter to him. In his senior year of high school, he submitted some cartoons to the yearbook. The editors rejected the concept. Despite this brush-off, Sparky was convinced of his ability. He even decided to become an artist. So, after completing high school, Sparky wrote to Walt Disney Studios. They asked for samples of his artwork. Despite careful preparation, it too was rejected. One more confirmation that he was a loser. But Sparky still didn’t give up. Instead, he decided to tell his own life’s story in cartoons. Sparky’s cartoon character went on to become a cultural phenomenon of sorts. People readily identified with this “lovable loser”. He reminded people of the painful and embarrassing moments from their own past, of their pain and their shared humanity. The character soon became famous worldwide: “Charlie Brown”. And Sparky, the boy whose many failures never kept him from trying, whose work was rejected again and again... is the highly successful cartoonist Charles Schultz. His cartoon strip, Peanuts, continues to inspire books, T-shirts and Christmas specials, reminding us, as someone once commented, that life somehow finds a way for all of us, even the losers. 24. What can be inferred about Sparky’s classmates? A. They were not fond of him. B. They only said hello to him. C. They laughed at him for his failures. D. They considered him socially invisible. 25. Which words best describe Sparky according to the passage? A. Talented and promising. B. Optimistic and sociable. C. Ambitious and persistent. D. Passionate and knowledgeable. 26. What does the author focus on in the last paragraph? A. The inspiration of Sparky’s successful story. B. The cultural impacts growing out of failures. C. The story behind a famous cartoon character. D. The process of creating the cartoon strip of Peanuts. 27. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. The Life of Charles Schultz B. The Loser Who Never Gave up C. The Creation of Charlie Brown D. The Optimist Who Never Complained 【答案】24. D 25. C 26. B 27. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Sparky虽然经历了许多失败，但是从不放弃，直到最后创造了很多著名的卡通形象。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“It wasn’t that the other students disliked him; it’s just that no one really cared all that much.(这并不是说其他学生不喜欢他；只是没人真的那么在乎)”可知，Sparky的同学认为他在社交上无足轻重。故选D。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“One thing was important to Sparky, however — drawing. He was proud of his artwork. No one else appreciated it. But that didn’t seem to matter to him. In his senior year of high school, he submitted some cartoons to the yearbook. The editors rejected the concept. Despite this brush-off, Sparky was convinced of his ability. He even decided to become an artist.(然而，有一件事对Sparky很重要——画画。他为自己的艺术作品感到自豪。没有人欣赏它。但这对他来说似乎并不重要。在他高中的最后一年，他向年鉴提交了一些漫画。编辑们拒绝了这个概念。尽管遭到拒绝，Sparky还是对自己的能力深信不疑。他甚至决定成为一名艺术家)”可知，Sparky的艺术品虽然没有人欣赏但是他还是坚持，并且决定成为艺术家，说明他雄心勃勃且坚持不懈。故选C。 【26题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“But Sparky still didn’t give up. Instead, he decided to tell his own life’s story in cartoons. Sparky’s cartoon character went on to become a cultural phenomenon of sorts. People readily identified with this “lovable loser”. He reminded people of the painful and embarrassing moments from their own past, of their pain and their shared humanity. The character soon became famous worldwide: “Charlie Brown”. And Sparky, the boy whose many failures never kept him from trying, whose work was rejected again and again... is the highly successful cartoonist Charles Schultz. His cartoon strip, Peanuts, continues to inspire books, T-shirts and Christmas specials, reminding us, as someone once commented, that life somehow finds a way for all of us, even the losers.(但是Sparky仍然没有放弃。相反，他决定在漫画中讲述自己的生活故事。Sparky的卡通形象后来成为一种文化现象。人们很容易认同这种“可爱的失败者”。他让人们想起自己过去的痛苦和尴尬时刻，想起他们的痛苦和共同的人性。这个角色很快就闻名世界：查理·布朗。Sparky，这个多次失败都没有阻止他尝试的男孩，他的作品一次又一次地被拒绝……是非常成功的漫画家查尔斯·舒尔茨他的连环画《花生》继续成为书籍、T恤和圣诞特辑的灵感来源，正如有人曾经说过的那样，它提醒我们，生活总会为我们所有人找到一条出路，即使是失败者)”可知，作者在最后一段的重点是失败产生的文化影响。故选B。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“But Sparky still didn’t give up. Instead, he decided to tell his own life’s story in cartoons. Sparky’s cartoon character went on to become a cultural phenomenon of sorts. People readily identified with this “lovable loser”.(但是Sparky仍然没有放弃。相反，他决定在漫画中讲述自己的生活故事。Sparky的卡通形象后来成为一种文化现象。人们很容易认同这种“可爱的失败者”)”以及文章主要讲述了Sparky虽然经历了许多失败，但是从不放弃，直到最后创造了很多著名的卡通形象。可知，B选项“从不放弃的失败者”最符合文章标题。故选B。 C The first time my improv (即兴表演) teacher called me to act out a scene, my throat tightened and my vision blurred (模糊). Performing silly scenes in front of others made my anxiety shoot through the roof. Every time I tried to improvise, I froze. I swore everyone could hear my racing heartbeat, and I kept trying to force myself to relax instead of focusing on the scene. For weeks, I fought against my anxiety. I’d get angry at myself for feeling nervous during something “fun”, trying to ignore the butterflies in my stomach. But psychologists now say that approach was wrong — some anxiety can actually be helpful. The Yerkes-Dodson Curve, a well-known psychology concept, explains this. When anxiety is too high, people underperform, because they might be so worried. When it’s too low, they also suffer, because they might be so relaxed. “There’s a middle zone where anxiety becomes useful,” says Dr. Shannon Sauer-Zavala from the University of Kentucky. “It signals, ‘This matters — pay attention and prepare.’” Psychologist Dennis-Tiwary writes in her book Future Tense that when her son was diagnosed with a heart condition as a baby, anxiety and worry intensified her efforts to get him help. “Worry pushed me to figure out how to maximize the chances of a successful surgery,” she writes. Her mind racing, she read academic articles about her son’s condition, made lists of questions for his doctors and searched community forums for information. “In the end,” she writes, “it was the worry that helped us get through.” Anxiety can be a form of caring, of our minds highlighting what matters. It tells us that accomplishing our goals will require efforts, and it pushes us to think about what efforts, exactly, we should take. It motivates us to take action. In some studies, people who felt anxious came up with more and better solutions to problems than those who felt calm. In other words, you shouldn’t want to live completely free of anxiety, because you need some anxiety to get things done. 28. How did the author feel when improvising? A. He felt relaxed by focusing on the scene. B. Nervous, he forgot his improv completely. C. With his heart racing, he tried to calm down. D. He felt annoyed at being called to improvise. 29. According to the Yerkes-Dodson Curve, how does anxiety affect one’s performance? A. The higher anxiety is, the better one’s performance is. B. Too low anxiety leads to one’s suffering mental health. C. Balanced anxiety betters one’s attention and preparations. D. A middle zone makes anxiety useful to one’s performance. 30. What does the underlined word “intensified” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Pursued. B. Fueled. C. Concentrated. D. Combined. 31. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. It requires efforts to accomplish our goals. B. Life with anxiety is completely unavoidable. C. Anxiety is always there to help you get projects done. D. Feeling calm can not be an advantage in completing a task. 【答案】28. C 29. C 30. B 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了适度焦虑具有积极作用，它能提升专注力，也能转化为解决问题的行动力。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Every time I tried to improvise, I froze. I swore everyone could hear my racing heartbeat, and I kept trying to force myself to relax instead of focusing on the scene. (每次我尝试即兴表演时，都会僵住。我发誓所有人都能听到我狂跳的心跳声，而我只是一味强迫自己放松，却没能专注于表演场景)”可知，在即兴表演时，作者的心跳加速，试图让自己冷静下来。故选C项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“When anxiety is too high, people underperform, because they might be so worried. When it’s too low, they also suffer, because they might be so relaxed.(当焦虑过高时，人们表现不佳，因为他们可能太担心了。当它太低时，他们也会受到影响，因为他们可能太放松了。)”、Shannon Sauer-Zavala博士所说的话“There’s a middle zone where anxiety becomes useful (在焦虑情绪中，存在一个‘中间地带’——此时焦虑反而能发挥积极作用)”和“It signals, ‘This matters — pay attention and prepare.’ (它传递着一个信号：‘这件事很重要——要集中注意力，做好准备。’)”可知，耶克斯-多德森压力曲线表明，适度焦虑能提升专注力，让人做好准备，从而优化表现。故选C项。 【30题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词的下文““Worry pushed me to figure out how to maximize the chances of a successful surgery,” she writes. Her mind racing, she read academic articles about her son’s condition, made lists of questions for his doctors and searched community forums for information. “In the end,” she writes, “it was the worry that helped us get through.” (她写道：‘正是这份焦虑，促使我不断思考如何提高手术成功的概率。’她思绪翻涌，研读关于儿子病情的学术论文，向医生列出问题清单，并在社区论坛上搜寻相关信息。她写道，‘最终，正是这份忧虑帮助我们渡过了难关。’)”可知，这份焦虑促使Dennis-Tiwary更努力采取各种行动，来帮助儿子渡过难关，画线词意为“增强，推动”，与Fueled意思相近。故选B项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“In some studies, people who felt anxious came up with more and better solutions to problems than those who felt calm. In other words, you shouldn’t want to live completely free of anxiety, because you need some anxiety to get things done. (一些研究表明，相比情绪平静者，感到焦虑的人往往能提出更多、更优的解决方案。换言之，我们不应追求完全摆脱焦虑的状态，因为适度的焦虑恰恰是推动事情取得进展的动力)”可知，适度的焦虑可以推动事情发展，其承受者比情绪平静者更能很好地完成任务。由此可知，平静状态在解决问题时可能不具备优势。故选D项。 D People naturally want to share their beliefs and feelings with others. Whether positive or negative, opinions feel as though they were made for sharing. This has a solid logic: Sharing emotions and opinions can lead to imitation, which can in turn create a bond and more positive social interactions. Besides creating a bond, another reason you might want to convince someone to model themselves on your feelings is to get them to change their views. To achieve that result, you can usually choose whether to present your views in a positive or negative way. So you might tell someone either that you’re voting for a particular presidential candidate because you believe this person will make the country stronger and fairer and you want that better future, or that the other candidate will ruin the society and anyone who disagrees is a fool. The approach you choose to persuading others depends on your goal and your audience. If your audience already agrees with you negative presentation can strengthen their beliefs. For example, saying, “If we don’t vote for Candidate X, our society will suffer!” can motivate supporters. But this strategy won’t work on someone who disagrees — they’ll just dismiss your argument as unreasonable. Worse, if you express anger toward those who disagree, they may become even more opposed to your views. This is the so-called boomerang effect. In the 1960s, psychologists found that when people are severely questioned over the opinions they hold, they are much more likely to dig into their position. The boomerang effect can be hard to observe when people are dealing with a complex social interaction involving different opinions and feelings. To give an example: Imagine if someone brought you flowers but then hit you with them — you wouldn’t want to listen to them. The same happens when people use their opinions as weapons instead of gifts. If you want to persuade others, it’s better to share your views positively. In conclusion, to be more persuasive, manage your emotions and share them in a way that invites discussion rather than conflict. Instead of attacking others, try turning your opinions into gifts — something others might actually want to accept. 32. According to the passage, why do people naturally share their beliefs? A. To make social interactions meaningful. B. To question and correct others’ opinions. C. To strengthen interpersonal relationships. D. To set their views as a standard for others. 33. Compared to negative arguments, why might positive ones work better when persuading someone who disagrees? A. Negative arguments often make people defend themselves. B. Negative arguments including false facts can be misleading. C. Positive arguments can strengthen others’ different beliefs. D. Positive arguments often give rise to the boomerang effect. 34. To avoid the boomerang effect, what should you do when persuading others? A. Listen to others patiently. B. Express your views clearly. C. Allow for different voices. D. Present beautiful presents. 35. What does the author mainly convey in this passage? A. What matters in social interactions. B How to tolerate different opinions. C. Why people love sharing opinions. D. How to make a difference to others. 【答案】32. C 33. A 34. C 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了人们分享信念和感受的自然倾向，以及如何通过不同的方式来说服他人接受自己的观点。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“This has a solid logic: Sharing emotions and opinions can lead to imitation, which can in turn create a bond and more positive social interactions.(这背后有一个合理的逻辑：分享情感和观点可能引发模仿，进而建立纽带并促进更积极的社交互动。)”可知，人们自然分享信念是为了通过引发模仿来建立纽带，即加强人际关系。故选C。 33题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Worse, if you express anger toward those who disagree, they may become even more opposed to your views. This is the so-called boomerang effect. In the 1960s, psychologists found that when people are severely questioned over the opinions they hold, they are much more likely to dig into their position.(更糟糕的是，如果你对持不同意见的人表达愤怒，他们可能会更加反对你的观点。这就是所谓的“飞去来器效应”。20世纪60年代，心理学家发现，当人们的观点受到严厉质疑时，他们更有可能坚定自己的立场。)”可知，消极的表达方式（如愤怒地质疑）会触发“飞去来器效应”，导致持不同意见者更坚定地捍卫自己的立场。而积极的方式则避免了这种对抗，因此更有效。故选A。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“In the 1960s, psychologists found that when people are severely questioned over the opinions they hold, they are much more likely to dig into their position.(20世纪60年代，心理学家发现，当人们的观点受到严厉质疑时，他们更有可能坚定自己的立场。)”可知，飞去来器效应源于对不同意见者的攻击或严厉质疑，导致对方更坚定反对立场。避免这一效应的关键在于最后一段“In conclusion, to be more persuasive, manage your emotions and share them in a way that invites discussion rather than conflict.(总之，要想更有说服力，就要管理好自己的情绪，并以引发讨论而非冲突的方式分享观点。)”提到的以引发讨论而非冲突的方式分享观点，也就是允许不同声音存在，避免攻击。故选C。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章内容可知，作者开篇讨论人们分享观点的自然倾向及其背后的逻辑（建立社交纽带），随后重点分析说服他人时积极与消极表达方式的效果差异，并通过“飞去来器效应”强调避免冲突、以积极方式分享观点的重要性，最终总结核心观点：管理情绪、用引发讨论的方式说服他人。全文围绕“说服他人改变观点的方法”展开，讨论积极与消极策略的效果，核心是“如何通过恰当方式影响他人”。故选D。 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。 Hands up if you love your alone time.

This could include anything from completing specific tasks, such as organizing your closet or catching up on emails, to taking part in activities, like reading a book. Once you have identified your goals, create an action plan that outlines how you will achieve them. Stay away from social media. It’s easy to start feeling like you’re missing out when you see what other people are doing on social media. You might be scrolling through Instagram and feel inadequate when you see what your friends (or strangers) are doing while you’re at home by yourself. If you find yourself caught up in the fear of missing out, take a step back from social media. ____37____ ____38____ Shifting your mindset is key! Instead of “Ugh, another night home alone,” try “Finally! Time to do whatever I please.” Associating it with positive feelings makes solo time something you crave, not dread. After all, the best and most important relationship you’ll ever have is with yourself. You need some quality time together. Create a cozy, distraction-free environment. Make your space an inviting escape. Put on comfortable clothes, light a candle, brew some tea and make your alone time feel like a luxurious ritual. ____39____ The more your senses are soothed (缓解), the easier it is to get immersed into me-time. ____40____ Though being alone may seem upsetting at first, it can be a wonderful experience if done correctly. You can seek shelter from the craziness of the world, find a balance between life and work and get an insight into your inner world. A. View alone time as a treat. B. Learn to stay with yourself. C. Loving yourself is a fundamental key to success. D. Doing something will give you a sense of purpose. E. Making an valuable investment in yourself is worthy. F. Then, you can use your alone time to connect with yourself. G. Allow yourself to fully relax both physically and mentally. 【答案】36. D 37. F 38. A 39. G 40. E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要提供了一系列关于如何充分利用独处时间的建议和技巧。 【36题详解】 根据小标题“Set goals and priorities.(设定目标和优先级)”可知，本段主题为设定目标和优先级。空后“Start by writing down what you want to achieve during your time alone. This could include anything from completing specific tasks, such as organizing your closet or catching up on emails, to taking part in activities, like reading a book.(首先写下你想在独处时完成的事情，这可以包括从完成特定任务（如整理衣柜或处理邮件）到参加活动（如阅读一本书）的任何事情)”建议读者写下想在独处时完成的事，并举例具体任务和活动。选项D“Doing something will give you a sense of purpose.(做一些事会给你目标感)” 与“通过行动实现目标”的逻辑一致，且“sense of purpose”呼应“设定目标”的核心，衔接自然。故选D。 【37题详解】 空前“If you find yourself caught up in the fear of missing out, take a step back from social media.(如果你发现自己陷入了这种焦虑，就从社交媒体退一步吧)”提出从社交媒体退一步。选项F“Then, you can use your alone time to connect with yourself.(然后，你可以利用独处时间与自己建立连接)”承接“远离干扰”的结果，强调独处的真正目的——关注自我，符合上下文逻辑。故选F。 【38题详解】 空处为本段小标题。根据下文“Shifting your mindset is key! Instead of “Ugh, another night home alone,” try “Finally! Time to do whatever I please.” Associating it with positive feelings makes solo time something you crave, not dread. After all, the best and most important relationship you’ll ever have is with yourself. You need some quality time together.(转变心态是关键！不要想“唉，又是一个独自在家的夜晚”，而是尝试想“终于！可以做任何我想做的事了”。将独处与积极的感觉联系起来，会让这段时光成为你渴望的事，而非恐惧的事。毕竟，你拥有的最重要的关系是与自己的关系，你需要一些高质量的时间来好好相处)”可知，本段中主要讲述的是转变心态，将独处从“无奈”转为“期待”。选项A“View alone time as a treat.(将独处视为一种享受)”概括段落主旨，与本段内容相符。故选A。 【39题详解】 上文“Make your space an inviting escape. Put on comfortable clothes, light a candle, brew some tea and make your alone time feel like a luxurious ritual.(让你的空间成为一个诱人的避风港。穿上舒适的衣服，点燃一支蜡烛，泡上一杯茶，让独处时光感觉像是一场奢华的仪式)”提到要让自己的空间成为一个诱人的逃避场所，让自己的独处时间感觉像是一种奢侈的仪式。选项G“Allow yourself to fully relax both physically and mentally.(让自己身心完全放松)”延续上文内容，指出可以通过上文的方式实现身心放松，符合逻辑。故选G。 【40题详解】 空后“Though being alone may seem upsetting at first, it can be a wonderful experience if done correctly. You can seek shelter from the craziness of the world, find a balance between life and work and get an insight into your inner world.(尽管一开始独处可能会让人感到不安，但如果方法正确，它会是一种美妙的体验。你可以从喧嚣的世界中寻求庇护，在生活与工作之间找到平衡，并洞察自己的内心世界)”提到如果方法正确，独处可以是一个美妙的经历，找到生活和工作之间的平衡，并深入了解自己的内心世界。选项E“Making an valuable investment in yourself is worthy.(对自己进行有价值的投资是值得的)”引出下文关于价值的陈述。故选E。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Feng Yinan, an 88-year-old woman in Nanjing, has become an inspiration in China’s education community.

The town council planned to cut down the landmark of the town, an old maple tree, to build a parking lot to meet the locals’ needs. However, a group of teenagers were determined to stop it. All of them had grown up in the town, playing under the tree and climbing the tree — its branches held their childhood secrets, from first crushes to lost teeth. But when they tried to convince the neighbors at the community meeting, their voice was drowned in the crowd’s indifference. “Progress is inevitable, kids,” Mr. Hart, the mayor, who also grew up in the town, just shrugged and walked away. Disappointed as they were, they continued to try to make their voice heard by the locals. They worked together, put up their handmade “Save Our Tree” posters and called on more people to join them, though most people ignored them — except Mrs. Rodriguez, the librarian, who proposed, “The most powerful tool to strike others is the inner feelings, not external language.” Her suggestion gave them an idea — they turned to those whose life was always in the shade of the old tree. They wanted to explore more stories behind the tree and the close ties to the tree. After joint efforts, now they got numbers of rich and colorful stories and memories. Mrs. Jenkins showed them an old wedding photo taken under its golden leaves; Mr. Chen let them record the story of his fruit cart, which had stood in the tree’s shade for years; Mr. Tomas recalled the scene where he and his girlfriend sat on the bench under the tree, talking about the future; Grandpa Nelson even called it the soul of the town. The night before the final council vote these teenagers got together under the tree, discussing again how to persuade the locals the next day. Just then, Mr. Hart came up, “Save your breath, kids. Vote’s tomorrow.” He casually waved the book in his hand and strode away. Suddenly, one teenager bent down and picked up a photo. It was a picture of a boy planting a sapling (幼苗). On the back, someone had written: “A perfect way to celebrate Hart’s 10th birthday.” 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 The big day came and almost all the locals came to vote. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ All the audience fell into silence when the teenagers finished the stories. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The big day came and almost all the locals came to vote. As the council prepared to cast votes, the teenagers stepped forward, presenting old photos and handwritten journals. One by one, they shared the stories they’d collected — Mrs. Jenkins’ trembling voice describing her sweet memories beneath autumn leaves, Mr. Chen’s laughter echoing as he recalled children stealing peaches from his cart. When they revealed the photo of young Hart planting the sapling, gasps rippled through the crowd. The mayor froze, his stern expression crumbling as memories flooded back. “That tree...” he murmured, touching the faded image, “I’d forgotten... My father said roots grow stronger when they’ve weathered storms.” All the audience fell into silence when the teenagers shared the stories. Slowly, Mr. Hart rose, guilt written all over his face, “This tree isn’t just wood and leaves. We nearly destroy our own history.” His words trembled, sparking a wave of whispers. Then, Mr. Hart proposed a new plan: preserving the tree as a memorial park while building the parking lot on the empty field behind the library. Without any incident, all the locals voted in favor of the proposal. A smile broke across Mr. Hart’s face as he declared, “The tree stays!” Cheers erupted instantly. The teenagers exchanged smiles, knowing their stories had woven the town’s heart together again. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达以人物为线索，讲述了一群青少年反对市议会的计划，拯救小镇的标志性建筑——一棵老枫树的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“大日子来了，几乎所有当地人都来投票了。”可知，本段可以写在投票之前，青少年们展示了旧照片和手写日记，并分享了与老枫树有关的当地人的故事。在最后，他们拿出了市长小时候种植这棵树苗的照片以及市长伤心的反应。 ②由第二段首句内容“当青少年分享这些故事时，所有的观众都陷入了沉默。”可知，本段可以写市长满脸愧疚地承认错误，并提出新的计划——保存这棵树。所有人都投赞成票，树最终被留下来了。 2. 续写线索：投票的日子来了——青少年分享故事——拿出市长种植小树苗的照片——市长羞愧——提出新计划——全场赞成——树得以保留。 3. 词类激活： 行为类： 走上前：step forward/walk forward/come up 展示：present/show 提出：propose/put forward/come up with 情绪类： 愧疚：guilt/shame 美好的：sweet/nice/beautiful 严厉的：stern/strict 【点睛】【高分句型1】The mayor froze, his stern expression crumbling as memories flooded back.

The competition emphasizes innovation, feasibility (可行性), and community impact. Program Structure: 1. Proposal Submission (by November 10): Submissions must include a 10-page report with technical diagrams, budget plans, and a feasibility analysis. Example: A 2022 winning project from Seattle proposed solar-powered trash compactors to reduce landfill overflow. 2. Mentorship (导师制) Phase (December-February): Shortlisted teams receive guidance from engineers and urban planners. Teams attend biweekly workshops on prototyping, cost-benefit analysis, and public presentation skills. A 2023 team from Boston improved their electric bike-sharing model after feedback on battery efficiency. 3. Final Pitch (March 15): Live presentations are evaluated by a panel including the CEO of Green Cities Foundation and the U.S. Deputy Secretary of Energy. Top three teams receive grants up to $10,000 and mentorship to implement their projects. Evaluation Criteria: Category Weight Key Focus Innovation 30% Originality and technological creativity Impact 40% Measurable environmental benefits Feasibility 20% Real-world use and cost Teamwork 10% Clear role and cooperation Rules & punishment: Cheating results in immediate disqualification.

B When he was a little boy, his uncle called him “Sparky” after a comic-strip horse named Spark Plug. School was all but impossible for Sparky. He failed every subject in the eighth grade. He failed physics in high school, getting a grade of zero. He also failed Latin, algebra and English. And his record in sports wasn’t any better. Though he did manage to make the school’s golf team, he quickly lost the only important match of the season. Oh, there was a consolation match (安慰赛); he lost that too. Throughout his youth, Sparky was awkward socially. It wasn’t that the other students disliked him; it’s just that no one really cared all that much. In fact, Sparky was astonished if a classmate ever said hello to him outside of school hours. Sparky was a loser. He, his classmates... everyone knew it. One thing was important to Sparky, however — drawing. He was proud of his artwork. No one else appreciated it. But that didn’t seem to matter to him. In his senior year of high school, he submitted some cartoons to the yearbook. The editors rejected the concept. Despite this brush-off, Sparky was convinced of his ability. He even decided to become an artist. So, after completing high school, Sparky wrote to Walt Disney Studios. They asked for samples of his artwork. Despite careful preparation, it too was rejected. One more confirmation that he was a loser. But Sparky still didn’t give up. Instead, he decided to tell his own life’s story in cartoons. Sparky’s cartoon character went on to become a cultural phenomenon of sorts. People readily identified with this “lovable loser”. He reminded people of the painful and embarrassing moments from their own past, of their pain and their shared humanity. The character soon became famous worldwide: “Charlie Brown”. And Sparky, the boy whose many failures never kept him from trying, whose work was rejected again and again... is the highly successful cartoonist Charles Schultz. His cartoon strip, Peanuts, continues to inspire books, T-shirts and Christmas specials, reminding us, as someone once commented, that life somehow finds a way for all of us, even the losers. 24. What can be inferred about Sparky’s classmates? A. They were not fond of him. B. They only said hello to him. C. They laughed at him for his failures. D. They considered him socially invisible. 25. Which words best describe Sparky according to the passage? A. Talented and promising. B. Optimistic and sociable. C. Ambitious and persistent. D. Passionate and knowledgeable. 26. What does the author focus on in the last paragraph? A. The inspiration of Sparky’s successful story. B. The cultural impacts growing out of failures. C. The story behind a famous cartoon character. D. The process of creating the cartoon strip of Peanuts. 27. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. The Life of Charles Schultz B. The Loser Who Never Gave up C. The Creation of Charlie Brown D. The Optimist Who Never Complained C The first time my improv (即兴表演) teacher called me to act out a scene, my throat tightened and my vision blurred (模糊). Performing silly scenes in front of others made my anxiety shoot through the roof. Every time I tried to improvise, I froze. I swore everyone could hear my racing heartbeat, and I kept trying to force myself to relax instead of focusing on the scene. For weeks, I fought against my anxiety. I’d get angry at myself for feeling nervous during something “fun”, trying to ignore the butterflies in my stomach. But psychologists now say that approach was wrong — some anxiety can actually be helpful. The Yerkes-Dodson Curve, a well-known psychology concept, explains this. When anxiety is too high, people underperform, because they might be so worried. When it’s too low, they also suffer, because they might be so relaxed. “There’s a middle zone where anxiety becomes useful,” says Dr. Shannon Sauer-Zavala from the University of Kentucky. “It signals, ‘This matters — pay attention and prepare.’” Psychologist Dennis-Tiwary writes in her book Future Tense that when her son was diagnosed with a heart condition as a baby, anxiety and worry intensified her efforts to get him help. “Worry pushed me to figure out how to maximize the chances of a successful surgery,” she writes. Her mind racing, she read academic articles about her son’s condition, made lists of questions for his doctors and searched community forums for information. “In the end,” she writes, “it was the worry that helped us get through.” Anxiety can be a form of caring, of our minds highlighting what matters. It tells us that accomplishing our goals will require efforts, and it pushes us to think about what efforts, exactly, we should take. It motivates us to take action. In some studies, people who felt anxious came up with more and better solutions to problems than those who felt calm. In other words, you shouldn’t want to live completely free of anxiety, because you need some anxiety to get things done. 28. How did the author feel when improvising? A. He felt relaxed by focusing on the scene. B. Nervous he forgot his improv completely. C. With his heart racing, he tried to calm down. D. He felt annoyed at being called to improvise. 29. According to the Yerkes-Dodson Curve, how does anxiety affect one’s performance? A. The higher anxiety is, the better one’s performance is. B. Too low anxiety leads to one’s suffering mental health. C Balanced anxiety betters one’s attention and preparations. D A middle zone makes anxiety useful to one’s performance. 30. What does the underlined word “intensified” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Pursued. B. Fueled. C. Concentrated. D. Combined. 31. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. It requires efforts to accomplish our goals. B. Life with anxiety is completely unavoidable. C. Anxiety is always there to help you get projects done. D. Feeling calm can not be an advantage in completing a task. D People naturally want to share their beliefs and feelings with others. Whether positive or negative, opinions feel as though they were made for sharing. This has a solid logic: Sharing emotions and opinions can lead to imitation, which can in turn create a bond and more positive social interactions. Besides creating a bond, another reason you might want to convince someone to model themselves on your feelings is to get them to change their views. To achieve that result, you can usually choose whether to present your views in a positive or negative way. So you might tell someone either that you’re voting for a particular presidential candidate because you believe this person will make the country stronger and fairer and you want that better future, or that the other candidate will ruin the society and anyone who disagrees is a fool. The approach you choose to persuading others depends on your goal and your audience. If your audience already agrees with you, negative presentation can strengthen their beliefs. For example, saying, “If we don’t vote for Candidate X, our society will suffer!” can motivate supporters. But this strategy won’t work on someone who disagrees — they’ll just dismiss your argument as unreasonable. Worse, if you express anger toward those who disagree, they may become even more opposed to your views. This is the so-called boomerang effect. In the 1960s, psychologists found that when people are severely questioned over the opinions they hold, they are much more likely to dig into their position. The boomerang effect can be hard to observe when people are dealing with a complex social interaction involving different opinions and feelings. To give an example: Imagine if someone brought you flowers but then hit you with them — you wouldn’t want to listen to them. The same happens when people use their opinions as weapons instead of gifts. If you want to persuade others, it’s better to share your views positively. In conclusion to be more persuasive, manage your emotions and share them in a way that invites discussion rather than conflict. Instead of attacking others, try turning your opinions into gifts — something others might actually want to accept. 32. According to the passage, why do people naturally share their beliefs? A. To make social interactions meaningful. B. To question and correct others’ opinions. C. To strengthen interpersonal relationships. D. To set their views as a standard for others. 33. Compared to negative arguments, why might positive ones work better when persuading someone who disagrees? A. Negative arguments often make people defend themselves. B. Negative arguments including false facts can be misleading. C. Positive arguments can strengthen others’ different beliefs. D. Positive arguments often give rise to the boomerang effect. 34. To avoid the boomerang effect, what should you do when persuading others? A. Listen to others patiently. B. Express your views clearly. C. Allow for different voices. D. Present beautiful presents. 35. What does the author mainly convey in this passage? A. What matters in social interactions. B. How to tolerate different opinions. C. Why people love sharing opinions. D. How to make a difference to others. 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。 Hands up if you love your alone time. Maybe you do, but are you letting that precious self-care time slip by? Let’s get into the tips to help you get most of your alone time. Set goals and priorities. ____36____ Start by writing down what you want to achieve during your time alone. This could include anything from completing specific tasks, such as organizing your closet or catching up on emails, to taking part in activities, like reading a book.

It’s easy to start feeling like you’re missing out when you see what other people are doing on social media.

Instead of “Ugh, another night home alone,” try “Finally! Time to do whatever I please.” Associating it with positive feelings makes solo time something you crave, not dread. After all, the best and most important relationship you’ll ever have is with yourself. You need some quality time together. Create a cozy, distraction-free environment. Make your space an inviting escape. Put on comfortable clothes, light a candle, brew some tea and make your alone time feel like a luxurious ritual. ____39____ The more your senses are soothed (缓解), the easier it is to get immersed into me-time. ____40____ Though being alone may seem upsetting at first, it can be a wonderful experience if done correctly. You can seek shelter from the craziness of the world, find a balance between life and work and get an insight into your inner world. A. View alone time as a treat. B. Learn to stay with yourself. C. Loving yourself is a fundamental key to success. D. Doing something will give you a sense of purpose. E. Making an valuable investment in yourself is worthy. F.

The town council planned to cut down the landmark of the town, an old maple tree, to build a parking lot to meet the locals’ needs. However, a group of teenagers were determined to stop it. All of them had grown up in the town, playing under the tree and climbing the tree — its branches held their childhood secrets, from first crushes to lost teeth. But when they tried to convince the neighbors at the community meeting, their voice was drowned in the crowd’s indifference. “Progress is inevitable, kids,” Mr. Hart, the mayor, who also grew up in the town, just shrugged and walked away. Disappointed as they were, they continued to try to make their voice heard by the locals. They worked together, put up their handmade “Save Our Tree” posters and called on more people to join them, though most people ignored them — except Mrs. Rodriguez, the librarian, who proposed, “The most powerful tool to strike others is the inner feelings, not external language.” Her suggestion gave them an idea — they turned to those whose life was always in the shade of the old tree. They wanted to explore more stories behind the tree and the close ties to the tree. After joint efforts, now they got numbers of rich and colorful stories and memories. Mrs. Jenkins showed them an old wedding photo taken under its golden leaves; Mr. Chen let them record the story of his fruit cart, which had stood in the tree’s shade for years; Mr. Tomas recalled the scene where he and his girlfriend sat on the bench under the tree, talking about the future; Grandpa Nelson even called it the soul of the town. The night before the final council vote, these teenagers got together under the tree, discussing again how to persuade the locals the next day. Just then, Mr. Hart came up, “Save your breath, kids. Vote’s tomorrow.” He casually waved the book in his hand and strode away. Suddenly, one teenager bent down and picked up a photo. It was a picture of a boy planting a sapling (幼苗). On the back, someone had written: “A perfect way to celebrate Hart’s 10th birthday.” 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 The big day came and almost all the locals came to vote. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ All the audience fell into silence when the teenagers finished the stories. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $第一节听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题，每段对话仅读一遍。I can hardly tell Jennifer and jesica apart.
