Here are some costal celebrations around the world. Fête du Citron, Menton, France Locals in the French Riviera town have been cultivating lemon trees since the 16th century and, each February, they honour their beloved fruit with a two-week carnival. The town becomes a lemon wonderland, featuring giant artworks made from 150 tons of lemons and oranges. In addition to parades, there are visits to local producers and many lemon-related dishes to enjoy at the town’s restaurants. Ocean Scilly Festival, Isles of Scilly, UK The Ocean Festival now in its third year, is already making waves. Held on all five islands of this island group, the event highlights the area’s rich maritime heritage. Activities include exploring tide pools, boat rowing, visiting sunken ships, swimming at sunset, watching seals, and kayaking. On land, visitors can walk along scenic coastal paths and see fields of wildflowers. Songkran Festival, Thailand The Songkran Festival in Thailand marks the Thai New Year, when locals offer fragrant waters to religious shrines (圣地) and children wash the hands of their elders. On the streets, Songkran’s traditions take on in the form of a water fight. Locals use powerful water guns and water balloons to spray everyone, including tourists. In addition to the water fun, there are also music, traditional parades, and ceremonies at temples. Hermanus Whale Festival, South Africa After months in the icy waters of the Southern Ocean, hundreds of grand southern right whales travel to the warmer shores near Hermanus, which is 75 miles west of Cape Town and famous for whale watching. In September, its three-day festival combines opportunities for whale sightings with an eco-minded programme that tells the story of local marine life and conservation efforts. 1.

What can be learnt about the Hermanus Whale Festival? A. It mainly attracts professional marine biologists. B. It celebrates the arrival of summer in South Africa. C. It is held in Cape Town. D.

B When I was a kid, I would spend summer weeks with Granny and Grandaddy in Waycross, GA, Though poor, they spoiled me with love. Both of them were very special to me, especially my Grandaddy, He became blind around 20 years of age, yet his blindness never slowed him down. He served as a county commissioner for several years, worked the concession stand (小卖部) at the courthouse, cooked lunch, and washed dishes while my Granny worked. As a boy, I would watch him closely, studying how he moved around the house from room to room as if he could see. I was impressed by how he transitioned from cooking to washing the dishes, never missing a beat. At the concession stand, customers would give him money, and he would return the correct change and provide them exactly what they ordered. When things were slow, he would put his hands together and twiddle (摆弄) his thumbs, which I found fascinating. I enjoyed helping out, feeling grown-up as I handed customers their drinks and snacks. It seemed like every time I stayed with them, in the evening we would visit someone who was sick or attend a viewing for someone who had passed away. Despite his blindness, nothing will slow him down or stop him from working and caring for others. His love for people was boundless. During those weeks, he taught me many lessons that still resonate with me today. I often think about him and sometimes catch myself when I am pondering at the beach, putting my hands together and twiddling my thumbs. I’m grateful for the time I spent with him. To this day, I dislike hearing someone say “I can’t do that” because I knew a blind man who never uttered those words. 4. What is the main idea of Paragraph 2? A. The grandfather’s blindness limited his daily activities. B. The grandfather’s perseverance and adaptability despite blindness. C. The author’s childhood memories of cooking with his grandparents. D. The challenges of running a concession stand at the courthouse. 5. How did the author feel when helping at the concession stand? A. Bored and restless. B. Optimistic and helpful. C. Proud and mature. D. Embarrassed and shy. 6. Why does the author dislike hearing people say “I can’t do that”? A. Because Grandaddy often used this phrase. B. Because Grandfather proved that disabilities do not limit one’s capabilities. C. Because his granny taught him to avoid negative language. D. Because he believes it shows a lack of creativity. 7. Which proverb best reflects the main message of the passage? A. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart. B. All good things come to an end. C. A friend in need is a friend indeed. D. Every cloud has a silver lining. C If your day starts with a harsh alarm sound, you might want to rethink your wake-up routine. New research from the University of Virginia’s School of Nursing suggests that the way you’re waking up could be putting unnecessary stress on your heart. Nursing doctoral student Yeonsu Kim studied 32 participants and found that being forced awake — like by a loud phone alarm — can lead to a significant morning blood pressure surge. This happens when your body is suddenly shifted from sleep to wakefulness. And it was found to be 74% higher in participants who were awakened by an alarm after five hours of sleep compared to those who woke up naturally. And that’s no small concern — morning blood pressure surges have been linked to serious cardiovascular (心血管的) risks, including stroke and heart attack. The increase in blood pressure activates your sympathetic nervous system — the same system that sets off the “fight or flight” response. That can lead to a rapid heartbeat, anxiety, exhaustion, and even physical symptoms like headaches and nosebleeds. The good news? There are better, healthier ways to greet the day. Instead of relying on harsh alarms, many people are turning to gentler methods — and research backs them up. One popular option is a gradual light alarm, also known as a sunrise alarm clock. These devices imitate the rising sun by slowly increasing in brightness over a set period of time. The gentle light helps signal your body to reduce melatonin (褪黑激素) production and transition into wakefulness more naturally, reducing dizziness and morning stress. There are also alarm apps that use soft music or nature sounds that gradually get louder, helping you wake without shocking your system. A 2020 study even found that melodic sounds — like a song you can sing along with — help reduce sleep inertia, a sleepy, heavy feeling that can linger for hours after waking up. Small changes can make a big difference in how your body starts the day and your heart will thank you for it! 8. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “surge” in Paragraph 2? A. a steady rhythm B. a slow decline C. a sudden increase D. a hidden danger 9. What physical symptoms can be caused by activating the sympathetic nervous system? A. Reduced melatonin levels. B. Slower heartbeat. C. Improved sleep quality. D. Nervousness and tiredness. 10. What can be inferred from the research findings mentioned in the passage? A. People who wake up naturally never experience morning blood pressure surges. B. Reducing melatonin production immediately improves cardiovascular health. C. Gradual waking methods may lower the risk of heart-related diseases. D. Loud alarms are the primary cause of strokes and heart attacks worldwide. 11. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To persuade us to stop using alarms. B. To explain the dangers of sudden wake-up methods. C. To compare different types of alarm sounds. D. To criticize modern sleep habits. D A gig is a part-time job performed by freelance (自由职业的) workers for a limited amount of time. The term “gig economy” is broadly described as “economic activity that involves the use of temporary or freelance workers to perform jobs typically in the service sector”. For instance, driving for a ride-share company; delivering groceries; performing home maintenance duties; selling handmade goods and renting your home, etc. According to the ADP Editorial Team, the gig economy arose from several factors: the 2007-2008 financial crisis, during which more people with traditional jobs needed “side jobs” to keep their heads above water; the tech explosion that allowed people to work from virtually anywhere; and the emergence of apps and websites such as Airbnb (2008), Uber (2009), and Postmates (2011). Although the COVID-19 pandemic temporarily paused the growth of the gig economy, the industry has continued to grow and increase in value. So, is the gig economy good for us? Some people believe the gig economy offers job flexibility. For many younger workers who are not interested in the traditional “nine-to-five” job, gig work allows for flexibility in working hours and the kind of work pursued, giving them a fair amount of freedom. Meanwhile, the gig economy provides extra income. As Encyclopedia Britannica Money noted, “We could all use a little extra cash in our pockets every now and then. One way to give a boost to your monthly budget is to pick up some side-job income in your free time.” Joining the gig economy cannot only ease stress caused by limited savings, but it can also provide quick money for anything from a medical emergency to a vacation. However, the gig economy creates job insecurity. Gig workers do not have a permanent job and routinely face the risk of losing income. A study of gig workers in Australia reported that they face “higher rates of stress than the general population” because of the “uncertainty, unpredictability, and instability of both schedules and income earned”. 12. The phrase “keep their heads above water” in Paragraph 2 most likely means ________. A. avoid their heads from sinking under water B. invest in new technology C. cover basic living expenses D. start a small business 13. Why does the author mention the COVID-19 pandemic in Paragraph 3? A. To show the gig economy is declining. B. To explain why people need extra income. C. To criticize the risks of gig jobs during crises. D. To emphasize its temporary impact on gig work. 14. What is a key difference between gig workers and traditional employees? A. Traditional jobs offer more financial security. B. Gig workers have fixed working hours. C. Gig workers need no special skills. D. Traditional jobs are all in the service sector. 15. Which title best summarizes the passage? A. The Gig Economy: Freedom or Uncertainty B. The Gig Economy: A Revolution in Flexible Work C. From Uber to Airbnb: How Technology Shaped Modern Jobs D. Freelancing: Independence or Financial Risk 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Learn Wing Chun (咏春拳) Wing Chun is a style of kung fu that emphasizes close combat (战斗), quick strikes and tight defense to overcome opponents. ____16____.

Though he spent every game on the sidelines, his father never failed to cheer from the stands, rain or shine. Despite being the smallest in his high school class, Michael felt his father’s unwavering support, “Play because you love it,” his father would say, “not because you have to.” With passion, Michael vowed to give his all at every practice, dreaming of finally stepping onto the field. All through high school Michael never skipped a drill or a game, yet the bench remained his only companion. His father, however, never missed a moment, his voice booming encouragement above the crowd’s roar. When entering college, Michael decided to try out for the team as a “walk-on.” Everyone thought he could never make the cut, but he did. The coach kept him, not for his size, but for his relentless efforts. “You inspire the others,” the coach admitted. Overjoyed, Michael called his father, who wept tears of pride. For the following years, Michael attended every practice, his dedication unbroken — though the field remained out of reach. The week of Michael’s final playoff game tragedy struck. As he jogged onto the practice field, the coach handed him a telegram. After reading it, he became deathly silent... Swallowing hard, he mumbled to the coach, “My father died this morning. Is it all right if I miss practice today?” The coach’s arm wrapped around him. “Take the week off, son.” Saturday arrived, and the team trailed (落后) by ten points in the third quarter. Suddenly, a figure emerged — Michael, silent and determined, put on his football gear. As he ran onto the sidelines, the coach and his players were astounded to see their faithful teammate back so soon. “Coach, let me play!” Michael pleaded. The coach frowned — no way would he risk the game on his least-experienced player. Yet Michael’s eyes, burning with resolve, refused to back down. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The coach hesitated, then gestured Michael to enter. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The stadium erupted as Michael scored the winning goal. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 重庆市高二英语考试 注意事项： 1.答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上。 2.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3.考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 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.

Both of them were very special to me, especially my Grandaddy, He became blind around 20 years of age, yet his blindness never slowed him down. He served as a county commissioner for several years, worked the concession stand (小卖部) at the courthouse, cooked lunch, and washed dishes while my Granny worked. As a boy, I would watch him closely, studying how he moved around the house from room to room as if he could see. I was impressed by how he transitioned from cooking to washing the dishes, never missing a beat. At the concession stand, customers would give him money, and he would return the correct change and provide them exactly what they ordered. When things were slow, he would put his hands together and twiddle (摆弄) his thumbs, which I found fascinating. I enjoyed helping out, feeling grown-up as I handed customers their drinks and snacks. It seemed like every time I stayed with them, in the evening we would visit someone who was sick or attend a viewing for someone who had passed away. Despite his blindness, nothing will slow him down or stop him from working and caring for others. His love for people was boundless. During those weeks, he taught me many lessons that still resonate with me today. I often think about him and sometimes catch myself when I am pondering at the beach, putting my hands together and twiddling my thumbs. I’m grateful for the time I spent with him. To this day, I dislike hearing someone say “I can’t do that” because I knew a blind man who never uttered those words. 4. What is the main idea of Paragraph 2? A.

He served as a county commissioner for several years, worked the concession stand (小卖部) at the courthouse, cooked lunch, and washed dishes while my Granny worked. (他在20岁左右失明了，但失明从未让他放慢脚步。他担任了几年的县专员，在法院的小卖部工作，在我奶奶工作时做饭、洗碗)”可知，祖父虽然失明，但仍能在很多方面坚持工作和生活，体现了他的毅力和适应能力。所以第二段主要讲的是祖父尽管失明却有着毅力和适应能力。故选B项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“I enjoyed helping out, feeling grown up as I handed customers their drinks and snacks. (我喜欢帮忙，当我把饮料和小吃递给顾客时，感觉自己长大了)”可知，作者在小卖部帮忙时觉得自己长大了，也就是感到自豪和成熟。故选C项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Despite his blindness, nothing will slow him down or stop him from working and caring for others. His love for people was boundless. During those weeks, he taught me many lessons that still resonate with me today. I often think about him and sometimes catch myself when I am pondering at the beach, putting my hands together and twiddling my thumbs. I’m grateful for the time I spent with him. To this day, I dislike hearing someone say “I can’t do that” because I knew a blind man who never uttered those words. (尽管他双目失明，但没有什么能让他放慢脚步或阻止他工作和关心他人。他对人的爱是无限的。在那几个星期里，他教会了我许多至今仍令我产生共鸣的教训。我经常想起他，有时在海滩上沉思的时候也会情不自禁，双手合十，摆弄着大拇指。我很感激与他共度的时光。直到今天，我都不喜欢听到别人说“我做不到”，因为我认识一个盲人，他从来不会说这句话)”可知，祖父虽然失明，但却做到了很多事，证明了残疾并不限制一个人的能力。因此，作者会认为盲人都可以做到很多事，那其它人更不应该说做不到，所以作者不喜欢听到人们说“我做不到”。故选B项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第二段中“He became blind around 20 years of age, yet his blindness never slowed him down. He served as a county commissioner for several years, worked the concession stand (小卖部) at the courthouse, cooked lunch, and washed dishes while my Granny worked. (他在20岁左右失明了，但失明从未让他放慢脚步。他担任了几年的县专员，在法院的小卖部工作，在我奶奶工作时做饭、洗碗)”和最后一段中“Despite his blindness, nothing will slow him down or stop him from working and caring for others. (尽管他失明了，没有什么能让他放慢脚步或阻止他工作和照顾他人)”可知，祖父虽然失明，但凭借着坚定的意志，做了许多事情。这充分说明了只要有决心，没有什么是不可能的。所以“Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.(有志者事竟成)”反映了文章的主旨。故选A项。 C If your day starts with a harsh alarm sound, you might want to rethink your wake-up routine. New research from the University of Virginia’s School of Nursing suggests that the way you’re waking up could be putting unnecessary stress on your heart. Nursing doctoral student Yeonsu Kim studied 32 participants and found that being forced awake — like by a loud phone alarm — can lead to a significant morning blood pressure surge. This happens when your body is suddenly shifted from sleep to wakefulness. And it was found to be 74% higher in participants who were awakened by an alarm after five hours of sleep compared to those who woke up naturally. And that’s no small concern — morning blood pressure surges have been linked to serious cardiovascular (心血管的) risks, including stroke and heart attack. The increase in blood pressure activates your sympathetic nervous system — the same system that sets off the “fight or flight” response. That can lead to a rapid heartbeat, anxiety, exhaustion, and even physical symptoms like headaches and nosebleeds. The good news? There are better, healthier ways to greet the day. Instead of relying on harsh alarms, many people are turning to gentler methods — and research backs them up. One popular option is a gradual light alarm, also known as a sunrise alarm clock. These devices imitate the rising sun by slowly increasing in brightness over a set period of time. The gentle light helps signal your body to reduce melatonin (褪黑激素) production and transition into wakefulness more naturally, reducing dizziness and morning stress. There are also alarm apps that use soft music or nature sounds that gradually get louder, helping you wake without shocking your system. A 2020 study even found that melodic sounds — like a song you can sing along with — help reduce sleep inertia, a sleepy, heavy feeling that can linger for hours after waking up. Small changes can make a big difference in how your body starts the day and your heart will thank you for it! 8. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “surge” in Paragraph 2? A. a steady rhythm B. a slow decline C. a sudden increase D. a hidden danger 9. What physical symptoms can be caused by activating the sympathetic nervous system? A. Reduced melatonin levels. B. Slower heartbeat. C. Improved sleep quality. D. Nervousness and tiredness. 10. What can be inferred from the research findings mentioned in the passage? A. People who wake up naturally never experience morning blood pressure surges. B. Reducing melatonin production immediately improves cardiovascular health. C. Gradual waking methods may lower the risk of heart-related diseases. D. Loud alarms are the primary cause of strokes and heart attacks worldwide. 11. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To persuade us to stop using alarms. B. To explain the dangers of sudden wake-up methods. C. To compare different types of alarm sounds. D. To criticize modern sleep habits. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了突然被闹钟叫醒会使血压急剧上升，增加心血管疾病风险，同时介绍了更健康的唤醒方式。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“Nursing doctoral student Yeonsu Kim studied 32 participants and found that being forced awake — like by a loud phone alarm — can lead to a significant morning blood pressure surge. (护理博士生Yeonsu Kim对32名参与者进行了研究，发现被强迫唤醒 —— 比如被响亮的手机闹钟叫醒 —— 会导致早晨血压显著……)”和后文“And that’s no small concern — morning blood pressure surges have been linked to serious cardiovascular risks, including stroke and heart attack.(这是一个不小的问题 —— 早晨血压……与严重的心血管风险有关，包括中风和心脏病发作)”可推知，早晨被被强迫唤醒会让血压突然上升。划线词surge的意思是“突然增加”，与C项“a sudden increase”同义。故选C项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“The increase in blood pressure activates your sympathetic nervous system — the same system that sets off the “fight or flight” response. That can lead to a rapid heartbeat, anxiety, exhaustion, and even physical symptoms like headaches and nosebleeds. (血压升高会激活你的交感神经系统 —— 也就是引发“战斗或逃跑”反应的系统。这可能会导致心跳加速、焦虑、疲惫，甚至出现头痛和流鼻血等身体症状)”可知，交感神经系统被激活会导致紧张和疲惫。故选D项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“And that’s no small concern — morning blood pressure surges have been linked to serious cardiovascular risks, including stroke and heart attack.(这是一个不小的问题 —— 早晨血压飙升与严重的心血管风险有关，包括中风和心脏病发作)”以及第四段中“Instead of relying on harsh alarms, many people are turning to gentler methods — and research backs them up. One popular option is a gradual light alarm, also known as a sunrise alarm clock. These devices imitate the rising sun by slowly increasing in brightness over a set period of time. The gentle light helps signal your body to reduce melatonin production and transition into wakefulness more naturally, reducing dizziness and morning stress.(许多人不再依赖严厉的警报，而是转向更温和的方法——研究也支持了他们的观点。一种流行的选择是渐进光闹钟，也被称为日出闹钟。这些装置模仿太阳升起，在一段固定的时间内缓慢增加亮度。柔和的光线可以帮助你的身体减少褪黑素的产生，更自然地过渡到清醒状态，减少头晕和早晨的压力)”可推断出，渐进式唤醒方式可能会降低患心脏病相关疾病的风险。故选C项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，结合第一段中“New research from the University of Virginia’s School of Nursing suggests that the way you’re waking up could be putting unnecessary stress on your heart. (弗吉尼亚大学护理学院的一项新研究表明，你醒来的方式可能会给你的心脏带来不必要的压力)”及后文对突然被闹钟叫醒的危害介绍可知，本文的主要目的是解释突然唤醒方法的危害。故选B项。 D A gig is a part-time job performed by freelance (自由职业的) workers for a limited amount of time. The term “gig economy” is broadly described as “economic activity that involves the use of temporary or freelance workers to perform jobs typically in the service sector”. For instance, driving for a ride-share company; delivering groceries; performing home maintenance duties; selling handmade goods and renting your home, etc. According to the ADP Editorial Team, the gig economy arose from several factors: the 2007-2008 financial crisis, during which more people with traditional jobs needed “side jobs” to keep their heads above water; the tech explosion that allowed people to work from virtually anywhere; and the emergence of apps and websites such as Airbnb (2008), Uber (2009), and Postmates (2011). Although the COVID-19 pandemic temporarily paused the growth of the gig economy, the industry has continued to grow and increase in value. So, is the gig economy good for us? Some people believe the gig economy offers job flexibility. For many younger workers who are not interested in the traditional “nine-to-five” job, gig work allows for flexibility in working hours and the kind of work pursued, giving them a fair amount of freedom. Meanwhile, the gig economy provides extra income. As Encyclopedia Britannica Money noted, “We could all use a little extra cash in our pockets every now and then. One way to give a boost to your monthly budget is to pick up some side-job income in your free time.” Joining the gig economy cannot only ease stress caused by limited savings, but it can also provide quick money for anything from a medical emergency to a vacation. However, the gig economy creates job insecurity. Gig workers do not have a permanent job and routinely face the risk of losing income. A study of gig workers in Australia reported that they face “higher rates of stress than the general population” because of the “uncertainty, unpredictability, and instability of both schedules and income earned”. 12. The phrase “keep their heads above water” in Paragraph 2 most likely means ________. A. avoid their heads from sinking under water B. invest in new technology C. cover basic living expenses D. start a small business 13. Why does the author mention the COVID-19 pandemic in Paragraph 3? A. To show the gig economy is declining. B. To explain why people need extra income. C. To criticize the risks of gig jobs during crises. D. To emphasize its temporary impact on gig work. 14. What is a key difference between gig workers and traditional employees? A. Traditional jobs offer more financial security. B. Gig workers have fixed working hours. C. Gig workers need no special skills. D. Traditional jobs are all in the service sector. 15. Which title best summarizes the passage? A. The Gig Economy: Freedom or Uncertainty B. The Gig Economy: A Revolution in Flexible Work C. From Uber to Airbnb: How Technology Shaped Modern Jobs D. Freelancing: Independence or Financial Risk 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲的是零工经济(gig economy)的定义、例子、发展原因、疫情期间的影响，以及正反两面的观点：灵活性和额外收入的好处，以及工作不稳定带来的压力。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“the 2007-2008 financial crisis, during which more people with traditional jobs needed ‘side jobs’ to keep their heads above water (2007—2008金融危机期间，更多有传统工作的人需要‘副业’来keep their heads above water)”并结合语境可知，此处指在金融危机期间，更多有传统工作的人需要“副业”来维持基本生活开支，划线部分意为“维持基本生活开支（cover basic living expenses）”，故选C。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。第三段“Although the COVID-19 pandemic temporarily paused the growth of the gig economy, the industry has continued to grow and increase in value.(尽管2019冠状病毒病大流行暂时暂停了零工经济的增长，但该行业仍在继续增长，价值也在增加)”提到新冠疫情“temporarily paused the growth”，说明其对零工经济的影响是暂时的（temporary），故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Gig workers do not have a permanent job and routinely face the risk of losing income.(零工工人没有固定的工作，经常面临失去收入的风险)”可知，零工工人面临工作不稳定、收入风险的问题。传统员工比零工工人更有经济保障（financial security），故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，结合倒数第三段中“Some people believe the gig economy offers job flexibility.(一些人认为零工经济提供了工作灵活性)”和最后一段中“A study of gig workers in Australia reported that they face ‘higher rates of stress than the general population’ because of the ‘uncertainty, unpredictability, and instability of both schedules and income earned’.(一项针对澳大利亚零工的研究报告称，由于‘工作时间和收入的不确定性、不可预测性和不稳定性’，他们面临‘比普通人更高的压力’)”可知，文章既讲零工经济的灵活性（freedom），也讲其不稳定性（uncertainty），标题需涵盖两面，A(零工经济：自由还是不确定性)符合，B(零工经济：灵活工作的革命)仅讲积极面，C(从优步到Airbnb：技术如何塑造现代工作)、D(自由职业：独立还是财务风险)范围过窄，故选A。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Learn Wing Chun (咏春拳) Wing Chun is a style of kung fu that emphasizes close combat (战斗), quick strikes and tight defense to overcome opponents. ____16____.

Though he spent every game on the sidelines, his father never failed to cheer from the stands, rain or shine. Despite being the smallest in his high school class, Michael felt his father’s unwavering support, “Play because you love it,” his father would say, “not because you have to.” With passion, Michael vowed to give his all at every practice, dreaming of finally stepping onto the field. All through high school Michael never skipped a drill or a game, yet the bench remained his only companion. His father, however, never missed a moment, his voice booming encouragement above the crowd’s roar. When entering college, Michael decided to try out for the team as a “walk-on.” Everyone thought he could never make the cut, but he did. The coach kept him, not for his size, but for his relentless efforts. “You inspire the others,” the coach admitted. Overjoyed, Michael called his father, who wept tears of pride. For the following years, Michael attended every practice, his dedication unbroken — though the field remained out of reach. The week of Michael’s final playoff game, tragedy struck. As he jogged onto the practice field, the coach handed him a telegram. After reading it, he became deathly silent... Swallowing hard, he mumbled to the coach, “My father died this morning. Is it all right if I miss practice today?” The coach’s arm wrapped around him. “Take the week off, son.” Saturday arrived, and the team trailed (落后) by ten points in the third quarter. Suddenly, a figure emerged — Michael, silent and determined, put on his football gear. As he ran onto the sidelines, the coach and his players were astounded to see their faithful teammate back so soon. “Coach, let me play!” Michael pleaded. The coach frowned — no way would he risk the game on his least-experienced player. Yet Michael’s eyes, burning with resolve, refused to back down. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The coach hesitated, then gestured Michael to enter. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The stadium erupted as Michael scored the winning goal. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The coach hesitated, then gestured Michael to enter. With his heart pounding like thunder, Michael rushed onto the field, father’s encouraging words echoing through his mind. Small as he was, every movement revealed years of unyielding determination. Driven by memories of his father’s persistent cheers, he charged forward. The opposing team could not stop him. Michael spun skillfully, leaving all defenders behind. Gradually yet surely, his team started to gain the upper hand, and the score was soon tied. In the closing seconds of the game, Michael intercepted a pass and ran all the way for the winning touchdown. The stadium erupted as Michael scored the winning goal. Embraceing him tightly, the coach marveled, “Kid, how did you work such a miracle?” Eyes glinting with brimming tears, Michael turned slowly. “Well, sir, you knew my dad had passed away...” Pausing briefly, he swallowed hard, as if summoning every ounce of courage. “Blind as he was, Dad never missed a game — a silent yet ever-present spectator. But today he could actually witness me in action, and I made it real!” With a gentle touch on the weathered bench whose surface bearing their shared memories, Michael knew true victory lay in perseverance rather than glory. 【解析】 【导语】本文围绕Michael的足球生涯展开，讲述了他虽身材矮小却凭借努力进入球队，在父亲的支持下坚持训练但一直未上场，父亲去世后他在决赛要求上场的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： 由第一段首句内容“教练犹豫了一下，然后示意迈克尔上场。”可知，第一段可描写迈克尔上场后发挥出色，凭借坚定信念带领球队扭转局势，比分逐渐追平。 由第二段首句内容“迈克尔攻入制胜一球时，体育场沸腾了。”可知，第二段可描写大家对迈克尔表现的惊叹，以及迈克尔讲述这么做是为了让父亲看到自己的比赛，体现出坚持比荣誉更重要。 2. 续写线索：迈克尔上场比赛——球队扭转局势——迈克尔攻入制胜球——大家惊叹——迈克尔道出缘由 3. 词汇激活： 行为类： 奔跑：rush/run/dash 开始：start/begin 拥抱：embrace/hug 情绪类： 决心：determination/resolution 温柔的：gentle/tender/soft 【点睛】[高分句型1] With his heart pounding like thunder, Michael rushed onto the field, father’s encouraging words echoing through his mind.(运用了with的复合结构和独立主格结构作伴随状语) [高分句型2] Driven by memories of his father’s persistent cheers, he charged forward.(运用了过去分词作原因状语) [高分句型3] Blind as he was, Dad never missed a game — a silent yet ever-present spectator.(运用了从属连词as引导让步状语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
