The two camps are separated by nearly two miles of woods and wilderness. There are several programs created for both groups to mix and socialize with one another. Movies, dances and other entertaining camp activities are available for them to enjoy and participate in. Of course, there are activities designed just for each of the two. Greenwood Trails The official motto of Greenwood Trails, a Connecticut-based American summer camp is “choosing your own trail”. It serves as the foundation for the entire summer camp experience. Teenagers may escape for the summer at this sleep-away camp, where activities aimed at reinforcing the “four C’s” give children the chance to completely customize each day they spend away from home. All of the activities here involve: communication, teamwork, creativity, and critical thinking. Camp Hi-Rock Located in Massachusetts’ Berkshires, Camp Hi-Rock is run by the YMCA. Along with all the various adventures, sports, and activities the YMCA assists in organizing, it gives campers the chance to experience lake activities like canoeing, kayaking, sailing, and much more. You can pick between overnight camp, family camp, and day camp. SOCAPA SOCAPA is a summer program that provides teens with intense courses in acting, screenwriting, photography and dance. The program offers students the chance to learn from business experts, produce original work, and showcase their talents. Locations for the program include Vermont, Los Angeles, and New York City. The goal of SOCAPA is to establish a lively and encouraging community while also assisting students in improving their artistic abilities and gaining useful experience in the arts. 1.

B For Antonella Positano, her passion for art and architecture traces back to her childhood. “As a child, I loved creating imaginary houses with LEGO, and many of my childhood drawings were about landscapes and little houses,” the artist recalled. Today, this love serves as the foundation of her architectural illustrations, made with dynamic lines of black ink that breathe life into these buildings. “The purpose when I choose an architectural subject to represent is to highlight its essence (本质) through my hand,” Positano said. “I often let myself be guided by the interaction I feel with a particular subject, but it’s almost always them choosing me, not the other way around. I don’t have any particular preferences.” As a fan of Giovanni Battista Piranesi, she always looks for volume that can translate into strong contrasts and let her play with shadows. Positano, who is about to finish her Architecture degree, uses high-quality photographs as references for her illustrations. “The images allow me to carefully analyze the particulars and work calmly on the composition, reflecting on the final result I want to achieve,” she explained. “I use them as references, but they’re never a guide to follow strictly for completing the work; at that point, it would just be a faithful copy, and I love authenticity (真实性). While she has experimented with other tools, Positano admits that nothing matches the excitement of black ink. “I enjoy how using a pen lets me control the thickness of the lines as I want. I use ink in my work because I see it as the link between the past and present.” Ultimately, Positano shares that she doesn’t seek recognition or commercial success but the power to move others through the universal language of architecture. “I know I’ve succeeded when I see emotions like inspiration in the eyes of those who view my works at exhibitions.” 4. What was Positano’s childhood passion for? A. Building real houses. B. Playing with various toys. C. Drawing landscapes and little houses. D. Reading books about architecture. 5. How does Positano choose her architectural subjects to illustrate? A. She selects them based on their popularity. B. She randomly picks any architectural subject. C. She has specific preferences for certain styles. D. She lets the subjects choose her based on her feelings 6. What is the main idea of the third paragraph? A. Positano’s way of creating illustrations. B. The importance of high-quality photographs in art. C. The strict guidelines she follows for her illustrations. D. The influence of her Architecture degree on her work. 7. What is Positano’s ultimate goal in her architectural illustrations? A. Gaining commercial success. B. Touching hearts with architecture. C. Winning awards and recognition. D. Selling her works at high prices. C Cats perform better than toddlers (学步幼儿) on a simple measure of language comprehension. The research, published on Oct. 4 in the journal Scientific Reports, revealed that cats form associations between pictures and words around four times faster than human toddlers do. Language is the most important tool humans use to communicate. But the ability to comprehend speech is not unique to humans. African gray parrots can understand and respond to spoken instructions. Dogs, meanwhile, have been trained to understand and respond to simple vocabulary. “However, we know far less about cats,” said Dr. Carlo Siracusa, a veterinary behaviorist at the University of Pennsylvania. There is limited evidence that cats can respond to pointing, and research in the past five years has shown that cats can recognize not only their own names but also those of familiar humans and animals. But can they associate words with objects more generally? To test this theory, Saho Takagi and her team at Azabu University in Japan gave 31 adult cats a simple word game used to investigate the same ability in babies. The cats were shown two nine-second cartoon clips (片段) with recordings of their owners repeating a made-up word over each image. The order of clips-a red sun labeled “paramo” and a blue unicorn with the word “keraru” — was repeated until the cats appeared to get bored. After a short break, the image clips were repeated, but this time, half of the pairings were inverted (颠倒). The switched clips visibly confused the cats, with recordings of “paramo” alongside the unicorn and “keraru” with the sun holding the cats’ interest an average of 15% longer. That the cats noticed this change and were clearly perplexed by it is good evidence that they had formed a link between the words and images. Some cats looked at the screen with big, open eyes when the “switched” condition was on. The experiment revealed that the cats were able to form associations between pictures and words. However, these comparisons should not be overinterpreted. Siracusa said, “You’re comparing an adult animal with an immature animal from a different species. 8. What was the purpose of the word game conducted by Saho Takagi’s team? A. To investigate if cats can associate words with objects. B. To test if cats can learn from watching cartoon clips. C. To compare the attention focus of cats and toddlers. D. To train cats to respond to their owners’ voices. 9. What does the underlined word “perplexed” in paragraph 6 probably mean? A. Scared. B. Amused. C. Confused. D. Excited. 10. What did Siracusa think of the study? A. It was successful. B. It had limitations. C. It was significant. D. It lacked evidence. 11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Cats’ Unique Language Skills. B. Advantages of Toddlers in Language Learning. C. The Importance of Language in Communication. D. Research on Cats’ Ability to Understand Language. D “We don’t want to be tripping over Zimmer frames (助行架) all the time,” said John, 73, as he expressed his disappointment over the frailer (更虚弱的) residents in his retirement village. John and his wife, Jean, moved to the village a year ago with the expectation of living in an active, independent community. Instead, John found the presence of much older, frail residents disheartening. In my recent research published in The Gerontologist we conducted 80 in-depth interviews with older adults living in retirement villages across the UK and Australia. Our aim was to find out why people pick retirement living and see if their hopes matched or conflicted with those of other residents. What astonished us most was the level of resentment (怨恨) that some residents expressed towards their frailer neighbors. We found that some residents chose retirement living specifically to delay the challenges of old age and extend their sense of midlife vitality. David, 76, and his wife, Pam, 73, moved to a UK retirement village to stay active, fit, and independent. In contrast, others chose the same retirement village because they were concerned about increasing frailty and worsening health and sought a community that they felt could support them in these challenges.. These contrasting sets of needs are often in conflict. People who move into retirement villages to prolong midlife and to feel part of an active, independent community, are not always accepting of frailer residents. Some people who moved there because they felt they’d get more help with their weaknesses sometimes felt left out and unsupported. But others demonstrated a more accepting attitude towards older residents. Ralph, 72, recognized that he might be more frail himself in the future and welcomed support from fellow residents. Retirement communities are often loosely defined and appear to offer all things to all people. But they can only be a desirable model if they genuinely recognize and accommodate the diverse needs of older people. 12. What was the main reason for John’s disappointment? A. The presence of frailer residents. B. The high cost of living in the village. C. The poor quality of services provided. D. The lack of activities in the retirement village. 13. What surprised the author most about the research finding? A. The popularity of retirement villages. B. The business size of retirement living. C. The high percentage of residents over 65. D. The degree of anger towards frailer neighbors. 14. How did Ralph feel about supporting frailer residents? A. He felt it a burden. B. He warmly welcomed it. C. He was strongly opposed to it. D. He was indifferent to it. 15. What is the overall message of the text? A. Retirement villages are perfect for all seniors. B. The problems faced by older people are different. C. Retirement villages should consider the diverse needs of the elderly. D. Most seniors prefer to live alone rather than in retirement villages. 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。 Self-discipline is the ability to push yourself forward, slay motivated, and take action, regardless of how you’re feeling, physically or emotionally. ____16____ Now let’s look at some practical science-backed strategies to become more self-disciplined in life. Choose a goal. Begin by choosing just one goal that you want to focus on to develop your self-discipline. For instance, perhaps you want to start exercising every evening. You could even practice self-discipline on very small goals such as concentrating on a book for an hour without checking your messages, or avoiding unhealthy food for one day. ____17____ Find your motivation. ____18____ Try to express these reasons in a positive way. Instead of saying “I want to get this task off my to-do list”, say “I want to do this task so that I can meet my objectives and feel satisfied with myself!” When you list the positive reasons why you want to achieve something, you’ll find it much easier to get the job done. Identify barriers. Now you need to identify the barriers that you’ll likely face when working towards your goal. Imagine that your goal is to read one book a week to enhance your reading skills. ____19____ For example, when you find a book you like, it’s hard to find time each day to read. Once you’ve identified barriers, come up with a strategy to overcome each one. ____20____ As you work on your self-discipline, pay attention to how you’re feeling. You might feel free, happy, proud, and energized. Also, think about keeping a journal to write down your self-discipline goal and to track your progress. This reinforces the positive changes that you’re implementing (实施) in your life, and gives you a record that you can look back on to see the progress that you’ve made. A. Monitor your progress. B. Pay attention to your feelings. C. Understand what helps improve self-discipline. D. You may face a number of difficulties in reaching this goal. E. It is a basic life skill that determines success and happiness. F. Once you’ve chosen a goal, list the reasons why you want to achieve it. G. Remember, starting small is a good way to start developing your self-discipline. 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。 For Kristy Burns, her partner Annette Dernel and close friend Lynn Edminston, hitting their 50s and 60s marked a beginning, not an end.

I should have been enjoying the New Year celebrations, especially while living in New York City, filled with lights and decorations along the streets. Instead, I was feeling sorry for myself. Sitting by myself in a cafe, I couldn’t remember ever feeling lonelier. I’d taken the bus downtown to do some shopping. With temperatures continuing to drop, I needed a new winter coat. But a day out on my own wasn’t much fun. Why couldn’t my niece have come with me? When I’d casually mentioned I was doing some New Year shopping today, I wanted so badly for her to ask, “Can I come too, Aunt?” My ears were not blessed with those words. She had better things to do. Having finished my lunch, I gathered my things, left the cafe and walked to the bus stop in the cold wind. The bus arrived. I climbed on and paid my fare, glad that I had a long ride home. I was happy to have a long trip home. It gave me more time to be upset. I was still angry as the bus moved, adding up all the things I’d done for my niece and comparing it with what I got in return. It wasn’t fair. I barely looked up when we stopped to pick up a nicely dressed middle-aged lady. I might not have noticed her at all if it hadn’t been for the pretty purple tote bag (手提袋) under her arm. When she took the seat across the aisle (过道), I couldn’t resist asking where she’d gotten it. “I’m sorry,” she said. “I can’t recall the name of the store.” “Thank you, anyway,” I said disappointedly. At the next stop the person next to me got up, and the woman moved to sit beside me. She didn’t say a word. One by one she transferred the items in the purple tote bag into her handbag. “Is she…?” I thought in disbelief. “Oh, no!” I said. “I can’t take your lovely bag!” 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。 “You’re not taking it. I’m giving it to you,” she said. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Her words warmed my heart. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2025年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试模拟试题 英语 本试题卷共8页。全卷满分150分，考试用时120分钟。 注意事项： 1. 答题前，先将自己的姓名、考号等填写在答题卡上，并将准考证号条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2. 选择题的作答：选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑，写在试题卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 3. 非选择题的作答：用签字笔直接写在答题卡上对应的答题区域内。写在试题卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 4. 考试结束后，请将本试题卷和答题卡一并上交。 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.

Today, this love serves as the foundation of her architectural illustrations, made with dynamic lines of black ink that breathe life into these buildings. “The purpose when I choose an architectural subject to represent is to highlight its essence (本质) through my hand,” Positano said. “I often let myself be guided by the interaction I feel with a particular subject, but it’s almost always them choosing me, not the other way around. I don’t have any particular preferences.” As a fan of Giovanni Battista Piranesi, she always looks for volume that can translate into strong contrasts and let her play with shadows. Positano, who is about to finish her Architecture degree, uses high-quality photographs as references for her illustrations. “The images allow me to carefully analyze the particulars and work calmly on the composition, reflecting on the final result I want to achieve,” she explained. “I use them as references, but they’re never a guide to follow strictly for completing the work; at that point, it would just be a faithful copy, and I love authenticity (真实性). While she has experimented with other tools, Positano admits that nothing matches the excitement of black ink. “I enjoy how using a pen lets me control the thickness of the lines as I want. I use ink in my work because I see it as the link between the past and present.” Ultimately, Positano shares that she doesn’t seek recognition or commercial success but the power to move others through the universal language of architecture. “I know I’ve succeeded when I see emotions like inspiration in the eyes of those who view my works at exhibitions.” 4. What was Positano’s childhood passion for? A. Building real houses. B. Playing with various toys. C. Drawing landscapes and little houses. D. Reading books about architecture. 5. How does Positano choose her architectural subjects to illustrate? A. She selects them based on their popularity. B. She randomly picks any architectural subject. C. She has specific preferences for certain styles. D. She lets the subjects choose her based on her feelings 6. What is the main idea of the third paragraph? A. Positano’s way of creating illustrations. B. The importance of high-quality photographs in art. C. The strict guidelines she follows for her illustrations. D. The influence of her Architecture degree on her work. 7. What is Positano’s ultimate goal in her architectural illustrations? A. Gaining commercial success. B. Touching hearts with architecture. C. Winning awards and recognition. D. Selling her works at high prices. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了艺术家Antonella Positano如何将她对艺术和建筑的热爱转化为生动的建筑插画，并追求通过建筑这一通用语言触动人心的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“As a child, I loved creating imaginary houses with LEGO, and many of my childhood drawings were about landscapes and little houses.(小时候，我喜欢用乐高积木建造想象中的房子，我童年的许多画都是关于风景和小房子的)”可知，Positano小时候对画风景和小房子感兴趣。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“I often let myself be guided by the interaction I feel with a particular subject, but it’s almost always them choosing me, not the other way around. I don’t have any particular preferences.(我经常让自己受到我与某个特定主题互动的引导，但几乎总是它们选择我，而不是我选择它们。我没有任何特别的偏好)”可知，Positano是根据自己的感觉让主题选择她来绘制建筑主题的。故选D。 【6题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“As a fan of Giovanni Battista Piranesi, she always looks for volume that can translate into strong contrasts and let her play with shadows. Positano, who is about to finish her Architecture degree, uses high-quality photographs as references for her illustrations. “The images allow me to carefully analyze the particulars and work calmly on the composition, reflecting on the final result I want to achieve,” she explained. “I use them as references, but they’re never a guide to follow strictly for completing the work; at that point, it would just be a faithful copy, and I love authenticity.”(作为Giovanni Battista Piranesi的粉丝，她总是寻找能够转化为强烈对比的体积，让她可以玩转阴影。即将完成建筑学学位的Positano使用高质量的照片作为她插画的参考。她解释说：“这些图片让我能够仔细分析细节，并冷静地处理构图，思考我想要达到的最终效果。我把它们当作参考，但它们绝不是完成作品的严格指南；到那时，它只会是一个忠实的复制品，而我喜欢真实性。”)”可知，第三段主要讲述了Positano创作插画的方式，包括她如何寻找灵感、使用高质量照片作为参考以及她对真实性的追求。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Ultimately, Positano shares that she doesn’t seek recognition or commercial success but the power to move others through the universal language of architecture. “I know I’ve succeeded when I see emotions like inspiration in the eyes of those who view my works at exhibitions.”(最终，Positano分享说，她寻求的不是认可或商业上的成功，而是通过建筑这一通用语言触动他人的力量。“当我在展览会上看到观看我作品的人眼中流露出灵感等情感时，我知道我成功了。”)”可知，Positano在建筑插画中的最终目标是用建筑触动人心。故选B。 C Cats perform better than toddlers (学步幼儿) on a simple measure of language comprehension. The research, published on Oct. 4 in the journal Scientific Reports, revealed that cats form associations between pictures and words around four times faster than human toddlers do. Language is the most important tool humans use to communicate. But the ability to comprehend speech is not unique to humans. African gray parrots can understand and respond to spoken instructions. Dogs, meanwhile, have been trained to understand and respond to simple vocabulary. “However, we know far less about cats,” said Dr. Carlo Siracusa, a veterinary behaviorist at the University of Pennsylvania. There is limited evidence that cats can respond to pointing, and research in the past five years has shown that cats can recognize not only their own names but also those of familiar humans and animals. But can they associate words with objects more generally? To test this theory, Saho Takagi and her team at Azabu University in Japan gave 31 adult cats a simple word game used to investigate the same ability in babies. The cats were shown two nine-second cartoon clips (片段) with recordings of their owners repeating a made-up word over each image. The order of clips-a red sun labeled “paramo” and a blue unicorn with the word “keraru” — was repeated until the cats appeared to get bored. After a short break, the image clips were repeated, but this time, half of the pairings were inverted (颠倒). The switched clips visibly confused the cats, with recordings of “paramo” alongside the unicorn and “keraru” with the sun holding the cats’ interest an average of 15% longer. That the cats noticed this change and were clearly perplexed by it is good evidence that they had formed a link between the words and images. Some cats looked at the screen with big, open eyes when the “switched” condition was on. The experiment revealed that the cats were able to form associations between pictures and words. However, these comparisons should not be overinterpreted. Siracusa said, “You’re comparing an adult animal with an immature animal from a different species. 8. What was the purpose of the word game conducted by Saho Takagi’s team? A. To investigate if cats can associate words with objects. B. To test if cats can learn from watching cartoon clips. C. To compare the attention focus of cats and toddlers. D. To train cats to respond to their owners’ voices. 9. What does the underlined word “perplexed” in paragraph 6 probably mean? A. Scared. B. Amused. C. Confused. D. Excited. 10. What did Siracusa think of the study? A. It was successful. B. It had limitations. C. It was significant. D. It lacked evidence. 11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Cats’ Unique Language Skills. B. Advantages of Toddlers in Language Learning. C. The Importance of Language in Communication. D. Research on Cats’ Ability to Understand Language. 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了日本麻布大学的一项研究，该研究发现猫在理解语言的一项简单测试中表现得比学步幼儿更好，猫能比人类幼儿快四倍左右在图片和单词之间建立联系。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“But can they associate words with objects more generally?(但是，它们是否更能普遍地将单词与物体联系起来呢？)”和第四段“To test this theory, Saho Takagi and her team at Azabu University in Japan gave 31 adult cats a simple word game used to investigate the same ability in babies.(为了验证这一理论，日本麻布大学的佐藤多惠和她的团队对31只成年猫进行了一项简单的文字游戏，该游戏用于调查婴儿的相同能力。)”可知，佐藤多惠的团队进行文字游戏的目的是调查猫是否能把单词和物体联系起来。故选A。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第五段“The switched clips visibly confused the cats(切换后片段明显让猫咪们感到困惑。)”和第六段“Some cats looked at the screen with big, open eyes when the ‘switched’ condition was on.(当处于“切换”状态时，一些猫睁大眼睛盯着屏幕。)”可知，猫注意到了这种变化，并且显然对此感到困惑，由此可知，perplexed的意思是“困惑的”。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“However, these comparisons should not be overinterpreted. Siracusa said, “You’re comparing an adult animal with an immature animal from a different species.”(然而，这些比较不应被过度解读。Siracusa说：“你这是在把一只成年动物和另一个物种的未成年动物进行比较。)”可知，两者属于不同的物种，且处于不同的生命阶段，由此可知，Siracusa认为这项研究存在局限性。故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。文章第一段提到“Cats perform better than toddlers on a simple measure of language comprehension.(在理解语言的一项简单测试中，猫表现得比学步幼儿更好。)”，接着文章后面几段主要介绍了日本麻布大学的一项研究，该研究发现猫能比人类幼儿快四倍左右在图片和单词之间建立联系，还介绍了实验过程以及Siracusa对这项研究的看法。由此可知，本文的最佳标题应该是D项：“关于猫理解语言能力的研究”。故选D。 D “We don’t want to be tripping over Zimmer frames (助行架) all the time,” said John, 73, as he expressed his disappointment over the frailer (更虚弱的) residents in his retirement village. John and his wife, Jean, moved to the village a year ago with the expectation of living in an active, independent community. Instead, John found the presence of much older, frail residents disheartening. In my recent research published in The Gerontologist, we conducted 80 in-depth interviews with older adults living in retirement villages across the UK and Australia. Our aim was to find out why people pick retirement living and see if their hopes matched or conflicted with those of other residents. What astonished us most was the level of resentment (怨恨) that some residents expressed towards their frailer neighbors. We found that some residents chose retirement living specifically to delay the challenges of old age and extend their sense of midlife vitality. David, 76, and his wife, Pam, 73, moved to a UK retirement village to stay active, fit, and independent. In contrast, others chose the same retirement village because they were concerned about increasing frailty and worsening health and sought a community that they felt could support them in these challenges.. These contrasting sets of needs are often in conflict. People who move into retirement villages to prolong midlife and to feel part of an active, independent community, are not always accepting of frailer residents. Some people who moved there because they felt they’d get more help with their weaknesses sometimes felt left out and unsupported. But others demonstrated a more accepting attitude towards older residents. Ralph, 72, recognized that he might be more frail himself in the future and welcomed support from fellow residents. Retirement communities are often loosely defined and appear to offer all things to all people. But they can only be a desirable model if they genuinely recognize and accommodate the diverse needs of older people. 12. What was the main reason for John’s disappointment? A. The presence of frailer residents. B. The high cost of living in the village. C. The poor quality of services provided. D. The lack of activities in the retirement village. 13. What surprised the author most about the research finding? A. The popularity of retirement villages. B. The business size of retirement living. C. The high percentage of residents over 65. D. The degree of anger towards frailer neighbors. 14. How did Ralph feel about supporting frailer residents? A He felt it a burden. B. He warmly welcomed it. C. He was strongly opposed to it. D. He was indifferent to it. 15. What is the overall message of the text? A. Retirement villages are perfect for all seniors. B. The problems faced by older people are different. C. Retirement villages should consider the diverse needs of the elderly. D. Most seniors prefer to live alone rather than in retirement villages. 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文讲述了作者对退休村庄居民的深入访谈，揭示了居民们选择退休生活的原因以及他们对更虚弱邻居的看法，强调了退休社区应真正认识并满足老年人的多样化需求。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“John and his wife, Jean, moved to the village a year ago with the expectation of living in an active, independent community. Instead, John found the presence of much older, frail residents disheartening.(一年前，John和他的妻子Jean搬到了这个村庄，希望生活在一个活跃、独立的社区。相反，John发现这里有很多年纪更大、身体更虚弱的居民，这让他感到沮丧。)”可知，John失望的主要原因是更虚弱居民的存在。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“What astonished us most was the level of resentment that some residents expressed towards their frailer neighbors.(最让我们惊讶的是一些居民对他们更虚弱的邻居表现出的怨恨程度。)”可知，最让作者惊讶的是居民对更虚弱邻居的愤怒程度。故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Ralph, 72, recognized that he might be more frail himself in the future and welcomed support from fellow residents.(72岁的Ralph意识到自己将来可能会更加虚弱，因此他欢迎来自其他居民的支持。)”可知，Ralph热烈欢迎支持更虚弱的居民。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Retirement communities are often loosely defined and appear to offer all things to all people. But they can only be a desirable model if they genuinely recognize and accommodate the diverse needs of older people.(退休社区的定义往往很宽泛，似乎能为所有人提供一切。但是，只有当它们真正认识并满足老年人的多样化需求时，它们才能成为一个理想的模式。)”可知，文章的整体信息是退休村庄应该考虑老年人的多样化需求。故选C。 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。 Self-discipline is the ability to push yourself forward, slay motivated, and take action, regardless of how you’re feeling, physically or emotionally. ____16____ Now let’s look at some practical science-backed strategies to become more self-disciplined in life. Choose a goal Begin by choosing just one goal that you want to focus on to develop your self-discipline. For instance, perhaps you want to start exercising every evening. You could even practice self-discipline on very small goals such as concentrating on a book for an hour without checking your messages, or avoiding unhealthy food for one day. ____17____ Find your motivation. ____18____ Try to express these reasons in a positive way. Instead of saying “I want to get this task off my to-do list”, say “I want to do this task so that I can meet my objectives and feel satisfied with myself!” When you list the positive reasons why you want to achieve something, you’ll find it much easier to get the job done. Identify barriers. Now you need to identify the barriers that you’ll likely face when working towards your goal. Imagine that your goal is to read one book a week to enhance your reading skills. ____19____ For example, when you find a book you like, it’s hard to find time each day to read. Once you’ve identified barriers, come up with a strategy to overcome each one. ____20____ As you work on your self-discipline, pay attention to how you’re feeling. You might feel free, happy, proud, and energized. Also, think about keeping a journal to write down your self-discipline goal and to track your progress. This reinforces the positive changes that you’re implementing (实施) in your life, and gives you a record that you can look back on to see the progress that you’ve made. A. Monitor your progress. B. Pay attention to your feelings. C. Understand what helps improve self-discipline. D. You may face a number of difficulties in reaching this goal. E. It is a basic life skill that determines success and happiness. F. Once you’ve chosen a goal, list the reasons why you want to achieve it. G. Remember, starting small is a good way to start developing your self-discipline. 【答案】16. E 17. G 18. F 19. D 20. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了自律的重要性，并给出了一些基于科学研究的策略，如选择目标、找到动力、识别障碍和监控进展，以帮助人们在生活中变得更加自律。 【16题详解】 上文“Self-discipline is the ability to push yourself forward, stay motivated, and take action, regardless of how you’re feeling, physically or emotionally.(自律是一种无论你身体或情感上感觉如何，都能推动自己前进、保持动力并采取行动的能力)”说明了自律的定义。空处和前文为顺接关系，应进一步阐述自律的重要性。所以E项“它是一项决定成功和幸福的基本生活技能。”符合语境，“It”指代前文中的“Self-discipline”，进一步强调其意义，与前文构成顺接关系。故选E。 【17题详解】 上文“You could even practice self-discipline on very small goals such as concentrating on a book for an hour without checking your messages, or avoiding unhealthy food for one day.(你甚至可以在非常小的目标上练习自律，比如集中精力看一个小时的书而不查看消息，或者一天不吃不健康的食物)”提到了从小的目标开始练习自律。空处总结了从小目标入手的策略，与前文例子形成呼应。所以G项“记住，从小事做起是开始培养自律的好方法。”符合语境，进一步强调了从小目标开始的重要性。且“starting small”和前文中的“on very small goals”相呼应。故选G。 【18题详解】 主题句“Find your motivation.(找到你的动力)”以及下文“Try to express these reasons in a positive way.(试着以积极的方式表达这些原因)”说明要找自律的原因并用积极的方式表达他们。空处承接主旨句，并引出下文，应具体说明找到动力后的做法。所以F项“一旦你选择了一个目标，列出你想实现它的原因。”符合语境，承接上文，“list the reasons”和下文中的“express these reasons”相呼应。故选F。 【19题详解】 上文“Imagine that your goal is to read one book a week to enhance your reading skills.(假设你的目标是每周读一本书以提高阅读能力)”提出了一个具体的目标。空处和前文为顺接关系，应说明在实现这个目标过程中可能遇到的问题。所以D项“在实现这个目标的过程中，你可能会面临许多困难。”符合语境，既呼应 “识别障碍” 的主题，又引出后文具体的困难例子，“difficulties”与“barriers”为同义替换。故选D。 【20题详解】 下文“As you work on your self - discipline, pay attention to how you’re feeling. You might feel free, happy, proud, and energized. Also, think about keeping a journal to write down your self - discipline goal and to track your progress.(当你在自律方面努力时，注意你的感受。你可能会感到自由、快乐、自豪和充满活力。此外，考虑写日记来记录你的自律目标并跟踪你的进展)”说明在自律过程中要关注自己的感受并记录进展。所以A项“监控你的进展。”符合语境，概括了本段关于监控自律进展的内容，适合作本段的主旨句。故填A。 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。 For Kristy Burns, her partner Annette Dernel and close friend Lynn Edminston, hitting their 50s and 60s marked a beginning, not an end.

I should have been enjoying the New Year celebrations, especially while living in New York City, filled with lights and decorations along the streets. Instead, I was feeling sorry for myself. Sitting by myself in a cafe, I couldn’t remember ever feeling lonelier. I’d taken the bus downtown to do some shopping. With temperatures continuing to drop, I needed a new winter coat. But a day out on my own wasn’t much fun. Why couldn’t my niece have come with me? When I’d casually mentioned I was doing some New Year shopping today, I wanted so badly for her to ask, “Can I come too, Aunt?” My ears were not blessed with those words. She had better things to do. Having finished my lunch, I gathered my things, left the cafe and walked to the bus stop in the cold wind. The bus arrived. I climbed on and paid my fare, glad that I had a long ride home. I was happy to have a long trip home. It gave me more time to be upset. I was still angry as the bus moved, adding up all the things I’d done for my niece and comparing it with what I got in return. It wasn’t fair. I barely looked up when we stopped to pick up a nicely dressed middle-aged lady. I might not have noticed her at all if it hadn’t been for the pretty purple tote bag (手提袋) under her arm. When she took the seat across the aisle (过道), I couldn’t resist asking where she’d gotten it. “I’m sorry,” she said. “I can’t recall the name of the store.” “Thank you, anyway,” I said disappointedly. At the next stop the person next to me got up, and the woman moved to sit beside me. She didn’t say a word. One by one she transferred the items in the purple tote bag into her handbag. “Is she…?” I thought in disbelief. “Oh, no!” I said. “I can’t take your lovely bag!” 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。 “You’re not taking it. I’m giving it to you,” she said. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Her words warmed my heart. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: “You’re not taking it. I’m giving it to you,” she said. I was surprised by her words and didn’t know what to say. “But why would you give it to me?” I asked. She smiled and said, “I saw how you admired the bag when I got on the bus. And I wanted to do something to brighten your day. This bag has brought me a lot of joy, but now it’s time for it to bring joy to someone else. Please, accept it as a New Year gift.” Her words warmed my heart. Here this stranger was offering me a gift of kindness. It was a reminder that even in the midst of loneliness and disappointment, there was still goodness in the world. As the bus continued on its route, I held the pretty purple tote bag tightly in my lap, feeling a sense of gratitude and hope replace the anger and sadness that had been plaguing me. The unexpected gift from this stranger turned my pity party into a celebration of the kindness and compassion that could be found even in the most unexpected places. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在纽约独自度过新年期间，因侄女未能陪伴自己购物而感到孤独和失落，内心抱怨付出未获回报。在返程公交上，她因欣赏一位女士的紫色手提袋而主动搭话，尽管女士起初不记得店铺名称，但随后竟默默将手提袋送给作者。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容““你不是‘拿’，是我要把它送给你。”她说。”可知，第一段可描写女士解释自己把包送给作者的原因。 ②由第二段首句内容“她的话温暖了我的心。”可知，第二段可描写作者的反思和感悟。 2.续写线索：询问原因——解释原因——感到感激和充满希望——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①欣赏：admire/appreciate ②想要做某事：want to do sth/would like to do sth ③代替：replace/take the place of ④把……转变成……：turn…into…/transform…into… 情绪类 ①快乐：joy/happiness ②悲伤：sadness/sorrow 【点睛】[高分句型1] I was surprised by her words and didn’t know what to say.（运用了what引导宾语从句） [高分句型2] As the bus continued on its route, I held the pretty purple tote bag tightly in my lap, feeling a sense of gratitude and hope replace the anger and sadness that had been plaguing me.（运用了as引导时间状语从句，现在分词作状语，that引导限制性定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
