Spotlit Dance Studio 4075 Luke Ct, Murfreesboro, TN 37128, USA Tel: (615)459-4200 Set up in 2006, Spotlit Dance Studio is offering full day, half day and evening dance camps to kids aged 2-18. We have fun, new themes each week. We will work on dancing techniques and play fun games, activities, and more. STEM Builders 504 Autumn Springs Ct, Franklin, TN 37067, USA Tel: (615)366-9196 Along with education, to be successful in life, reasonable thinking, problem solving and teamwork are necessary skills in today’s competitive society. STEM Builders provides a unique combination of science, technology, engineering, math and fun. Both founders of the center beginning in 2016 have more than 15 years of IT experience. Smile Doctors 152 Heritage Park, Murfreesboro, TN 37128, USA Tel: (615)848-0011 Created in 2015, Smile Doctors provides excellence in orthodontic (牙齿矫正的) care resulting in beautiful, confident smiles and unforgettable experiences. Every interaction (互动) strengthens the idea that each person has value as a human being. We hope our positive interactions will motivate kids to improve themselves. Tap Root Farm 905 Hickory Hills Dr, Franklin, TN 37067, USA Tel:(615)594-3210 We have been “caretakers” of the farmland for over 50 years. Come and join us in the joy of keeping our family farming! Activities of our 2019 Tap Root Farm Summer Farm Camp (June 24-29) include horseback riding and gardening (planting and harvesting vegetables, herbs and flowers). 1. Where should you go to improve your dancing skills? A. 152 Heritage Park, Murfreesboro, TN 37128, USA. B. 905 Hickory Hills Dr, Franklin, TN 37067, USA. C. 4075 Luke Ct, Murfreesboro, TN37128, USA. D. 504 Autumn Springs Ct, Franklin, TN 37067, USA. 2. Smile Doctors thinks children should ______. A. believe in themselves B. travel to more places C. communicate with their peers D. take more examinations 3. Which of the following centers has the longest history? A. Smile Doctors. B. Spotlit Dance Studio. C. STEM Builders. D. Tap Root Farm. B In the age of online shopping and e-readers, devoted staff and customers have kept the doors of Auntie’s Bookstore open for over 40 years. “When you’re in Portland, you go to Powell’s Books. When you’ re in Seattle, you go to Elliott Bay. When you’re in Spokane, you go to Auntie’s,” said John Waite, the owner of the bookstore. “I can’t imagine Spokane without Auntie’s,” he said. “A lot of people can’t imagine Spokane without Auntie’s, either,” Waite said. Turning visitors into regular customers is important to the store’s success. Auntie’s markets itself as a destination. A half-dozen book clubs meet there. In most weeks, the store hosts two to four author readings or literary events. “We want people to come down, hang out and experience the feel of having a book in their hands,” Waite said. Eager readers not only want to read books, but want to discuss them, said Kerry Halls, the store manager. Auntie’ s offers them that chance, she said. “You can’t go to Amazon and talk to someone about your favorite novel, or discuss what you think of the latest Stephen King’s book compared with Pet Cemetery,” she said. To compete with the convenience of shopping online, Auntie’s tries to predict what books will become a trend. They store these books in advance. But Waite doesn’t hide the realities of selling books in the age of Amazon and other online retailers (零售店). “Even the big guys can’t make it,” he said, noting physical (实体的) retailers are striving nationally. As the United States’ oldest national bookstore chain, Barnes & Noble has to constantly reorganize to stop the declining sales. At Auntie’s, regular customers are very important to its survival and development. Sales of children’s and young adults’ books are increasing in recent years, Waite said. “For a long time, older customers have kept book stores alive,” he said. “Now, it’s starting to attract younger people.” Another reason of Auntie’s longevity (长寿) is Northwest culture, which Waite said encourages new ways of thinking and the diversity of ideas. “I think it’s a great book town,” Waite said. “People are enthusiastic about reading.” 4. What can we learn about Auntie’s from Paragraph 1? A. It is popular throughout the US. B. It is a well-known physical bookstore in Spokane. C. It takes full advantage of the e-business platform. D. It has a longer history than Powell’s Books and Elliott Bay. 5 How does Auntie’s keep its customers? A. To awaken people’s interest in reading. B. To have more regular customers. C. To set up a literary environment. D. To encourage readers to learn about more authors. 6. What does the underlined word “striving” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. celebrating. B. struggling. C. progressing D. sharing 7. What is the best title of the passage? A. The Culture of Northwest America. B. Auntie’s Bookstore: An Ideal place for Book Lovers. C. The Decline(衰落)of Physical Bookstores in the Online Age. D. The Secrets of Auntie’s Bookstore’s Long-term Success. C In January 2018, the long-awaited ban (禁令) on plastic microbeads (微珠) in make-up and washing products came into force in the UK. These tiny bits of plastic were discovered to enter the ocean in their millions. The ban was a conservation victory, but scientists at Northumbria University have always been aware that such beads are only the tip of the iceberg (冰山一角) when it comes to tiny bits of marine (海洋的) pollution. The scientists’ recent findings suggest that microfibers produced during the washing of textiles (织物) are likely to be a more significant contributor to pollution than the beads ever were. The new study from scientists at Northumbria University has revealed that almost 13,000 tons of microfibers, which are equal to two rubbish trucks every day, are being released into European marine environments every year as they fall off clothing in washing machines. These microfibers are made up of a range of materials and in fact the vast majority are natural fibers, such as cotton, wool and viscose. Though significantly more biodegradable (可生物降解的) than man-made fibers, these fibers have still been found in significant quantities in the bottom of the European oceans. Extensive research is being carried out on how to cut down microfiber pollution. The Northumbria researchers note that several textile design rules have been established, and that more research is being undertaken to encourage their adoption by the textile industry. The team points out that there’s a barrier to consumers’ adopting colder and quicker washing cycles (洗涤模式), since the consumers are concerned that they will not achieve the desired level of cleaning. In their conclusion they call for further advances in cold-water cleaning technology to smooth away the performance gap between regular warm cycles and colder and quicker alternatives. “This is the first major study to examine real household wash loads and the reality of fiber release,” said John R Dean, who led the study. “Finding an ultimate solution to the pollution of marine ecosystems by microfibers released during clothes-washing will likely require significant actions in both the production processes of textiles and the design of washing machines.” 8. What do scientists at Northumbria University mainly focus on? A. Benefits of wildlife conservation. B. Microfiber pollution from clothing. C. Methods of making textiles clean. D. Marine pollution from tiny bits of plastic. 9. What can we infer from the new study? A. It takes a long time for fibers to break down. B Man-made fibers are easy to fall off clothing. C. Natural fibers do little harm to the environment. D. Household washing machines operate in an eco-friendly way. 10. Consumers say “No” to the colder and quicker washing cycles mainly because the cycles are believed to ______. A. be slow in washing clothes B. be too complex to operate C. waste too much heat and water D. fail to remove dirt effectively 11. What did John R Dean think of solving microfiber pollution? A. It seems impractical. B. It’s unlikely to succeed. C. It may need joint efforts. D. It needs urgent actions. D Is boredom a thing of the past, like black-and-white television? And, if so, is that a good thing? Julie Robinson, a former teacher who now represents the Independent Association of Prep Schools, thinks that boredom is regarded as an enemy of today’s children, and they are losing the ability to become thoughtful and reflective. “We should not fear boredom.” said Julie Robinson. “Boredom is valuable to children. Quiet, reflective time is just as important as purposeful activity,” she added. Her opinion is that constant (连续不断的) activity for a child, often the result of the dreams of parents, will lead to concerned and worrying adult. The traditional ideas that children should be constantly active could prevent the development of their imagination. So anything that improves a greater thoughtfulness is to be warmly welcomed. Parents now feel a sense of failure when they hear their children complain about being bored. They seek an electronic device to play games at once. And we didn’t feel bored during long car journeys anymore by the impatient “Are we there yet?” because all kinds of electronic devices have been taken along to avoid even a minute of boredom. So what chance do children have to allow their thoughts to wander? But it’s not just children who need lessons in reflection. Adults need that, too. On my train journey to work this morning, I couldn’t see a single person who wasn’t using an electronic device. No one was simply looking out of the window at the beautiful views. Not time for quiet thinking, even in the quiet library. There were emails to send, texts to read, and games to play. The wider world, seemingly, didn’t exist. The mobile phone has changed many things about our lives, and has developed an inability — among adults as well as children — to live in the present. What Julie Robinson regards is a cross-generational phenomenon: the fear of “inactivity”. And she is right. 12. Julie Robinson thinks boredom is useful because it makes children______. A. find effective solutions to social problems B. have time to think and have their imagination developed C. improve the ability to learn knowledge D. communicate more with their parents and friends 13. Which of the following is seen as “inactivity” according to the last paragraph? A. Sending emails on a train. B. Playing games with friends. C. Planning constant activity for children. D. Looking out of the window at the beautiful views. 14. The author mentioned the train journey to show that ______. A. electronic devices influence people’s life greatly B. the view of the countryside was beautiful C. people had too much work to do D. the trip on a quiet train was very boring 15. What’s the main idea of the passage? A. The importance of preventing children from being bored. B. The negative impacts of electronic devices on adults. C. The problem of people’s fear of boredom. D. The ways to encourage children’s imagination development. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Hobbies are more than just a fun way to kill the time. A widespread and harmful misunderstanding is that engaging in hobbies mirrors a lack of self-discipline (自律). ___16___ In fact, hobbies can provide essential balance in our lives and enhance overall well-being. The benefits you obtain will depend on your hobby — taking up jogging, for instance, will benefit your cardiovascular (心血管的) health. The point is that nearly all hobbies can provide measurable positive health benefits. If we regularly spend time on hobbies, we usually enjoy a higher level of fitness. ___17___ A 2023 comprehensive analysis of multiple studies found that engaging in leisure activities can improve health by protecting against heart disease and age-related problems. But another of the researchers’ findings is perhaps the most striking: the strong relationship between doing leisure activities and increased longevity (长寿). ___18___ It found that older adults have a 19% lower risk of disease-related death when they engage in regular leisure activities. ___19___ They’re crucial for our mental health. People who made a conscious effort each day to spend time doing hobbies (no matter what they were) showed an average boost of 8% in well-being and a 10% drop in stress and anxiety, according to a 2023 study published in the Journal of Personality. “In general, humans need meaning, something that gives them a sense of purpose. ___20___” says Dr Hafeez, who has led several massive studies on hobbies. “Engaging in what you enjoy greatly enhances your well-being.” With all these visible benefits of hobbies, why not just make time for activities that bring you joy and fulfillment every day? A. Science supports this with strong evidence. B. Hobbies have a positive impact on our mood. C. You gain a lot from hobbies. D. Nothing could be further from the truth. E. The more you engage in hobbies, the longer you will live. F. A different study conducted last year confirmed the impact. G. And being able to pursue your passion really contributes to that. 第三部分：语言知识运用(共二节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给各题的四个选项ABCD四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Molai grew up in a tiny village in India.

The only thing I hoped to get from my Christmas wish list was a puppy (小狗). I had always dreamed of having a puppy, as I was the only child, and it could be quite lonely at times. However, I did not want to get my hopes up, as I knew neither of my parents liked the thought of having a puppy around the house and all that came with it. Every time I begged for a puppy, my parents would say, “It is a lot of responsibilities, and you will have to clean up after it, give it baths, feed it regularly and walk it.” I knew the responsibilities and was ready to take them on. Unfortunately, even with my enthusiasm (热情) and determination, my parents still disagreed to get me a puppy. There were very few chances of getting it, but I still tried asking them again that week. “Oh honey, pick something else instead. There are so many toys that you can pick,” my parents responded as usual. As expected, I thought, giving a resigned sigh (无奈的叹息). For the rest of the evening, I decorated the Christmas tree as my parents hung some stockings. That night, I went to sleep with the hope that my dream would ever come true. My alarm clock woke me up. “Oh my goodness, it is finally Christmas day!” I shouted excitedly and rushed down the stairs to the living room. “Good morning, Bella!” both my parents chatted with huge smiles on their faces that were brighter than usual. My curiosity was inspired and many questions rushed into my mind. They played Christmas carols, and they sang along to the merry tunes. Just then, I caught my father smiling at my mother as if they had a secret plan and walking out of the door. When I asked my mother where my father had gone, she simply said that he had gone to pick something up. I grew confused. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I wondered what they could be hiding from me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I fell in love with the puppy at first sight and named her Daisy. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 德阳五中高2024级高一下期半期考试 英语试题 第一部分：听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题;每小题 1.5分，满分 7.5分) 听下面 5 段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的 A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1．What is the man’s problem?

When you’re in Spokane, you go to Auntie’s,” said John Waite, the owner of the bookstore. “I can’t imagine Spokane without Auntie’s,” he said. “A lot of people can’t imagine Spokane without Auntie’s, either,” Waite said. Turning visitors into regular customers is important to the store’s success. Auntie’s markets itself as a destination. A half-dozen book clubs meet there. In most weeks, the store hosts two to four author readings or literary events. “We want people to come down, hang out and experience the feel of having a book in their hands,” Waite said. Eager readers not only want to read books, but want to discuss them, said Kerry Halls, the store manager. Auntie’ s offers them that chance, she said. “You can’t go to Amazon and talk to someone about your favorite novel, or discuss what you think of the latest Stephen King’s book compared with Pet Cemetery,” she said. To compete with the convenience of shopping online, Auntie’s tries to predict what books will become a trend. They store these books in advance. But Waite doesn’t hide the realities of selling books in the age of Amazon and other online retailers (零售店). “Even the big guys can’t make it,” he said, noting physical (实体的) retailers are striving nationally. As the United States’ oldest national bookstore chain, Barnes & Noble has to constantly reorganize to stop the declining sales. At Auntie’s, regular customers are very important to its survival and development. Sales of children’s and young adults’ books are increasing in recent years, Waite said. “For a long time, older customers have kept book stores alive,” he said. “Now, it’s starting to attract younger people.” Another reason of Auntie’s longevity (长寿) is Northwest culture, which Waite said encourages new ways of thinking and the diversity of ideas. “I think it’s a great book town,” Waite said. “People are enthusiastic about reading.” 4. What can we learn about Auntie’s from Paragraph 1? A. It is popular throughout the US. B. It is a well-known physical bookstore in Spokane. C. It takes full advantage of the e-business platform. D. It has a longer history than Powell’s Books and Elliott Bay. 5. How does Auntie’s keep its customers? A. To awaken people’s interest in reading. B. To have more regular customers. C. To set up a literary environment. D. To encourage readers to learn about more authors. 6. What does the underlined word “striving” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. celebrating. B. struggling. C. progressing D. sharing 7. What is the best title of the passage? A. The Culture of Northwest America. B. Auntie’s Bookstore: An Ideal place for Book Lovers. C. The Decline(衰落)of Physical Bookstores in the Online Age. D. The Secrets of Auntie’s Bookstore’s Long-term Success. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了 Auntie’s 书店在电商时代的生存之道。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“In the age of online shopping and e-readers, devoted staff and customers keep the doors of Auntie’s Bookstore open for 40 years.(在网上购物和电子阅读器的时代，忠诚的员工和顾客让Auntie's书店的门开了40年)”和“I can’t imagine Spokane without Auntie’s,” he said. “A lot of people can’t imagine Spokane without Auntie’s, either,” Waite said.(怀特说: “我无法想象没有Auntie’书店的斯波坎会是什么样子，很多人也无法想象斯波坎没有Auntie’s书店会是什么样子”)”可知，Auntie’s 是斯波坎当地知名的实体书店。故选B项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Auntie’s markets itself as a destination. A half-dozen book clubs meet there. In most weeks, the store hosts two to four author readings or literary events.(Auntie’s 将自己定位为一个目的地。六六个读书俱乐部在那里聚会。在大多数时间里，书店都会举办两到四场作家读书会或文学活动)”可知，书店通过营造文学氛围吸引顾客。故选 C。 【6题详解】 猜测词义题。根据第四段““Even the big guys can’t make it,” he said, noting physical (实体的) retailers are striving nationally.(他说“即使是大公司也做不到。”他指出，实体零售商正在全国范围内striving)”和下文“As the United States’ oldest national bookstore chain, Barnes&Noble has to constantly reorganize to stop the declining sales.(作为美国历史最悠久的全国性连锁书店，巴诺书店不得不不断进行重组以阻止销量下滑)”中即使是大公司也做不到以及巴诺书店不得不不断进行重组以阻止销量下滑，所有实体零售商正在全国范围内挣扎。可知，striving的意思是“挣扎”。故选B项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。主要介绍了 Auntie’s 书店在电商时代的生存之道。作为斯波坎当地知名的实体书店，它通过举办读书俱乐部、作者朗读会等文学活动营造沉浸式阅读环境，吸引读者互动交流；同时积极预测图书趋势、储备热门书籍以应对线上购物的便利冲击。文章还指出，其长期成功得益于年轻读者群体的扩大及鼓励多元思维的文化。尽管实体书店整体面临困境，但 Auntie's 凭借独特策略已成功经营超 40 年，展现了传统书店的生命力。所以短文的最佳标题为“Auntie书店长期成功的秘诀”。故选D项。 C In January 2018, the long-awaited ban (禁令) on plastic microbeads (微珠) in make-up and washing products came into force in the UK. These tiny bits of plastic were discovered to enter the ocean in their millions. The ban was a conservation victory, but scientists at Northumbria University have always been aware that such beads are only the tip of the iceberg (冰山一角) when it comes to tiny bits of marine (海洋的) pollution. The scientists’ recent findings suggest that microfibers produced during the washing of textiles (织物) are likely to be a more significant contributor to pollution than the beads ever were. The new study from scientists at Northumbria University has revealed that almost 13,000 tons of microfibers, which are equal to two rubbish trucks every day, are being released into European marine environments every year as they fall off clothing in washing machines. These microfibers are made up of a range of materials and in fact the vast majority are natural fibers, such as cotton, wool and viscose. Though significantly more biodegradable (可生物降解的) than man-made fibers, these fibers have still been found in significant quantities in the bottom of the European oceans. Extensive research is being carried out on how to cut down microfiber pollution. The Northumbria researchers note that several textile design rules have been established, and that more research is being undertaken to encourage their adoption by the textile industry. The team points out that there’s a barrier to consumers’ adopting colder and quicker washing cycles (洗涤模式), since the consumers are concerned that they will not achieve the desired level of cleaning. In their conclusion they call for further advances in cold-water cleaning technology to smooth away the performance gap between regular warm cycles and colder and quicker alternatives. “This is the first major study to examine real household wash loads and the reality of fiber release,” said John R Dean, who led the study. “Finding an ultimate solution to the pollution of marine ecosystems by microfibers released during clothes-washing will likely require significant actions in both the production processes of textiles and the design of washing machines.” 8. What do scientists at Northumbria University mainly focus on? A. Benefits of wildlife conservation. B. Microfiber pollution from clothing. C. Methods of making textiles clean. D. Marine pollution from tiny bits of plastic. 9. What can we infer from the new study? A. It takes a long time for fibers to break down. B. Man-made fibers are easy to fall off clothing. C Natural fibers do little harm to the environment. D. Household washing machines operate in an eco-friendly way. 10. Consumers say “No” to the colder and quicker washing cycles mainly because the cycles are believed to ______. A. be slow in washing clothes B. be too complex to operate C. waste too much heat and water D. fail to remove dirt effectively 11. What did John R Dean think of solving microfiber pollution? A. It seems impractical. B. It’s unlikely to succeed. C. It may need joint efforts. D. It needs urgent actions. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，主要讲述了英国诺森比亚大学的科学家们发现，在洗涤纺织品过程中产生的微纤维可能是比塑料微珠更严重的海洋污染源，研究还涉及到如何减少微纤维污染以及面临的问题等内容。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中“The scientists’ recent findings suggest that microfibers produced during the washing of textiles (织物) are likely to be a more significant contributor to pollution than the beads ever were.(科学家们最近的发现表明，在洗涤纺织品过程中产生的微纤维可能比塑料微珠更能造成污染)”可知，诺森比亚大学的科学家主要关注的是来自衣物的微纤维污染，故选B项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Though significantly more biodegradable (可生物降解) than man-made fibers, these fibers have still been found in significant quantities in the bottom of the European oceans.(虽然这些天然纤维比人造纤维的可生物降解性强得多，但在欧洲海洋底部仍发现了大量的天然纤维)”可知，即使是可生物降解的天然纤维在海洋底部仍有大量存在，可推断出纤维降解需要很长时间，故选A项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“The team points out that there’s a barrier to consumers’ adopting colder and quicker washing cycles(洗涤模式), since the consumers are concerned that they will not achieve the desired level of cleaning.(该团队指出，消费者采用更冷更快的洗涤模式存在障碍，因为消费者担心这样无法达到理想的清洁水平)”可知，消费者拒绝更冷更快的洗涤模式是因为他们认为这些模式不能有效地去除污垢，故选D项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段John R Dean所说的“Finding an ultimate solution to the pollution of marine ecosystems by microfibers released during clothes-washing will likely require significant actions in both the production processes of textiles and the design of washing machines.(要找到一个最终解决方案来解决洗衣服过程中释放的微纤维对海洋生态系统的污染，可能需要在纺织品生产过程和洗衣机设计方面采取重大行动)”可知，要找到一个最终解决方案需要在纺织品生产过程和洗衣机设计方面采取重大行动，可推理出他认为解决微纤维污染可能需要共同努力，故选C项。 D Is boredom a thing of the past, like black-and-white television? And, if so, is that a good thing? Julie Robinson, a former teacher who now represents the Independent Association of Prep Schools, thinks that boredom is regarded as an enemy of today’s children, and they are losing the ability to become thoughtful and reflective. “We should not fear boredom.” said Julie Robinson. “Boredom is valuable to children. Quiet, reflective time is just as important as purposeful activity,” she added. Her opinion is that constant (连续不断的) activity for a child, often the result of the dreams of parents, will lead to concerned and worrying adult. The traditional ideas that children should be constantly active could prevent the development of their imagination. So anything that improves a greater thoughtfulness is to be warmly welcomed. Parents now feel a sense of failure when they hear their children complain about being bored. They seek an electronic device to play games at once. And we didn’t feel bored during long car journeys anymore by the impatient “Are we there yet?” because all kinds of electronic devices have been taken along to avoid even a minute of boredom. So what chance do children have to allow their thoughts to wander? But it’s not just children who need lessons in reflection. Adults need that, too. On my train journey to work this morning, I couldn’t see a single person who wasn’t using an electronic device. No one was simply looking out of the window at the beautiful views. Not time for quiet thinking, even in the quiet library. There were emails to send, texts to read, and games to play. The wider world, seemingly, didn’t exist. The mobile phone has changed many things about our lives, and has developed an inability — among adults as well as children — to live in the present. What Julie Robinson regards is a cross-generational phenomenon: the fear of “inactivity”. And she is right. 12. Julie Robinson thinks boredom is useful because it makes children______. A. find effective solutions to social problems B. have time to think and have their imagination developed C. improve the ability to learn knowledge D. communicate more with their parents and friends 13. Which of the following is seen as “inactivity” according to the last paragraph? A. Sending emails on a train. B. Playing games with friends. C. Planning constant activity for children. D. Looking out of the window at the beautiful views. 14. The author mentioned the train journey to show that ______. A. electronic devices influence people’s life greatly B. the view of the countryside was beautiful C. people had too much work to do D. the trip on a quiet train was very boring 15. What’s the main idea of the passage? A The importance of preventing children from being bored. B. The negative impacts of electronic devices on adults. C. The problem of people’s fear of boredom. D. The ways to encourage children’s imagination development. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了现代社会中人们对“无聊”的恐惧及其负面影响，强调无聊对儿童和成人反思与想象力发展的重要性。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中Julie Robinson说的话“Boredom is valuable to children. Quiet, reflective time is just as important as purposeful activity,(无聊对孩子来说是有价值的。安静、沉思的时间和有目的的活动一样重要)”和第三段中“The traditional ideas that children should be constantly active could prevent the development of their imagination. So anything that improves a greater thoughtfulness is to be warmly welcomed.(传统观念认为孩子应该不断活跃，这会阻碍他们想象力的发展。因此，任何能够提高更深思熟虑的事情都会受到热烈欢迎)”可知，Julie Robinson认为无聊是有用的，因为它能让孩子们有时间思考，且发展他们的想象力。故选B。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“On my train journey to work this morning, I couldn’t see a single person who wasn’t using an electronic device. No one was simply looking out of the window at the beautiful views. Not time for quiet thinking, even in the quiet library. There were emails to send, texts to read, and games to play. The wider world, seemingly, didn’t exist. The mobile phone has changed many things about our lives, and has developed an inability — among adults as well as children — to live in the present. What Julie Robinson regards is a cross-generational phenomenon: the fear of “inactivity”. (今天早上在去上班的火车上，我看不到一个人不使用电子设备。没有人只是简单地向窗外看美景。没有时间安静的思考，即使在安静的图书馆。有邮件要发，有短信要读，有游戏要玩。更广阔的世界，似乎并不存在。手机已经改变了我们生活中的许多事情，并且已经使成年人和儿童都无法生活在当下。朱莉·罗宾逊认为这是一个跨代现象：对“不活跃”的恐惧)”可知，人们都在使用电子设备，而 “只是看着窗外风景” 这种没有被电子设备占据的、安静的行为被视为与“不活跃”相关。由此推知，D项“望着窗外美丽的景色”被认为是一种“不活跃”现象。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“On my train journey to work this morning, I couldn’t see a single person who wasn’t using an electronic device. No one was simply looking out of the window at the beautiful views. Not time for quiet thinking, even in the quiet library. There were emails to send, texts to read, and games to play.

Quiet, reflective time is just as important as purposeful activity,” she added.(“我们不应该害怕无聊。朱莉·罗宾逊说。“无聊对孩子来说很有价值。安静、反思的时间和有目的的活动一样重要，”她补充道。)”根据最后一段“But it’s not just children who need lessons in reflection. Adults need that, too.( 但不只是孩子需要学习反思。成年人也需要这样)”可知，主要探讨了现代社会中人们对“无聊”的恐惧及其负面影响，强调无聊对儿童和成人反思与想象力发展的重要性。由此可知，短文主要关于人们害怕无聊的问题。故选C。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Hobbies are more than just a fun way to kill the time. A widespread and harmful misunderstanding is that engaging in hobbies mirrors a lack of self-discipline (自律). ___16___ In fact, hobbies can provide essential balance in our lives and enhance overall well-being. The benefits you obtain will depend on your hobby — taking up jogging, for instance, will benefit your cardiovascular (心血管的) health. The point is that nearly all hobbies can provide measurable positive health benefits. If we regularly spend time on hobbies, we usually enjoy a higher level of fitness. ___17___ A 2023 comprehensive analysis of multiple studies found that engaging in leisure activities can improve health by protecting against heart disease and age-related problems. But another of the researchers’ findings is perhaps the most striking: the strong relationship between doing leisure activities and increased longevity (长寿). ___18___ It found that older adults have a 19% lower risk of disease-related death when they engage in regular leisure activities. ___19___ They’re crucial for our mental health. People who made a conscious effort each day to spend time doing hobbies (no matter what they were) showed an average boost of 8% in well-being and a 10% drop in stress and anxiety, according to a 2023 study published in the Journal of Personality. “In general, humans need meaning, something that gives them a sense of purpose. ___20___” says Dr Hafeez, who has led several massive studies on hobbies. “Engaging in what you enjoy greatly enhances your well-being.” With all these visible benefits of hobbies, why not just make time for activities that bring you joy and fulfillment every day? A. Science supports this with strong evidence. B. Hobbies have a positive impact on our mood. C. You gain a lot from hobbies. D. Nothing could be further from the truth. E. The more you engage in hobbies, the longer you will live. F. A different study conducted last year confirmed the impact. G. And being able to pursue your passion really contributes to that. 【答案】16. D 17. A 18. F 19. B 20.

The only thing I hoped to get from my Christmas wish list was a puppy (小狗). I had always dreamed of having a puppy, as I was the only child, and it could be quite lonely at times. However, I did not want to get my hopes up, as I knew neither of my parents liked the thought of having a puppy around the house and all that came with it. Every time I begged for a puppy, my parents would say, “It is a lot of responsibilities, and you will have to clean up after it, give it baths, feed it regularly and walk it.” I knew the responsibilities and was ready to take them on. Unfortunately, even with my enthusiasm (热情) and determination, my parents still disagreed to get me a puppy. There were very few chances of getting it, but I still tried asking them again that week. “Oh honey, pick something else instead. There are so many toys that you can pick,” my parents responded as usual. As expected, I thought, giving a resigned sigh (无奈的叹息). For the rest of the evening, I decorated the Christmas tree as my parents hung some stockings. That night, I went to sleep with the hope that my dream would ever come true. My alarm clock woke me up. “Oh my goodness, it is finally Christmas day!” I shouted excitedly and rushed down the stairs to the living room. “Good morning, Bella!” both my parents chatted with huge smiles on their faces that were brighter than usual. My curiosity was inspired and many questions rushed into my mind. They played Christmas carols, and they sang along to the merry tunes. Just then, I caught my father smiling at my mother as if they had a secret plan and walking out of the door. When I asked my mother where my father had gone, she simply said that he had gone to pick something up. I grew confused. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I wondered what they could be hiding from me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I fell in love with the puppy at first sight and named her Daisy. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I wondered what they could be hiding from me. As the morning unfolded, my anticipation grew, and I couldn’t shake the feeling that something extraordinary was about to happen. Moments later, the front door creaked open, and in walked my father, his arms cradling a small, wriggling bundle of fur. My eyes widened in disbelief as he presented the adorable puppy to me, and my heart swelled with joy. Overwhelmed by emotion, I gathered the little creature into my arms and felt an instant connection. I fell in love with the puppy at first sight and named her Daisy. Her playful energy and endearing nature quickly won over my parents, and soon, our home was filled with laughter and warmth. With Daisy by my side, I found a constant source of companionship and love. My once lonely days were a thing of the past, and I reveled in the newfound happiness that she brought into our lives. Christmas had indeed granted my dearest wish, and the arrival of Daisy made it a holiday season to remember. 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，按照事情发展的先后顺序讲述了小女孩贝拉在圣诞节前夕希望得到一只小狗作为礼物。尽管她的父母认为养狗责任重大，多次拒绝了她的请求，贝拉仍抱有一丝希望。圣诞节早上，贝拉看到父亲神秘地走出门，让她充满了好奇和疑问的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我想知道他们会对我隐瞒什么。”可知，第一段可描写“我有一种感觉似乎爸爸要为我买一只小狗，梦想实现时，我的心充满了喜悦”的相关细节。 ②由第二段首句内容“我对这只小狗一见钟情，给它取名为黛西。”可知，第二段可描写“黛西的到来给我们的生活带来的幸福，圣诞节成为了一个值得纪念的节日”的相关细节。 2.续写线索：我感觉到有事情要发生——父亲带回一只小狗——我的心充了喜悦之情——小狗带来笑声和温暖——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①变宽： widen/broaden ②发生：happen/occur/take place 情绪类 ①开心：joy/delight/happiness/pleasure ②怀疑：disbelief/suspicion 【点睛】【高分句型1】My eyes widened in disbelief as he presented the adorable puppy to me, and my heart swelled with joy.
