What were their journeys like? SUNDAR PICHAI At the top of the list is Sundar Pichai, the current CEO of Google, who was not born with a silver spoon in his mouth, sharing a two-bedroom apartment with his parents and younger brother, and only started having a phone in his house when he was 12. During his time as CBO, Pichai led the launch of Google Chrome, the most used web engine, Google Drive and Google Maps, which are features that have revolutionised modern lifestyle. STEVE JOBS Another well-known individual is the CEO of Pixar and NeXT, and the co-founder and CEO of Apple, Steve Jobs. Undoubtedly, his life can be compared to that of a rollercoaster. He was fired from the company that he co-founded (which later become known as Apple), then he went on to start up two other successful companies, before returning to Apple, where he created the iPhone, the product that many consider to be the most significant invention of this Century. SAL KHAN Then, we have the owner of one of the biggest online education providers, Khan Academy. He may not be as famous as the other two, but his contribution to education deserves as much credit. Using his website, anyone can have unlimited access to educational videos for free, allowing people to gain in-depth knowledge about many subjects without attending a formal course. For this, he is on the list of the 100 most influential people in the world. Their stories will continue to inspire and create new leaders who aspire to attain success regardless of their wealth or circumstances. 21. Who is a perfect example to show “Born poor, one can still succeed.”? A. Sal Khan B. Steve Jobs C. Sundar Pichai D. All of them 22. Why is Steve Jobs’ life like a rollercoaster? A. Because he likes rollercoasters. B. Because his life is full of ups and downs. C. Because he started two other successful companies. D. Because he was fired by the company that he co-founded. 23. What causes Sal Khan to be one of the 100 most influential people in the world? A. He is able to beat all the difficulties he has met. B. He owns one of the biggest online education providers, Khan Academy. C. His website provides people with access to various knowledge free of charge. D. His product is considered to be the most significant invention of this century. 【答案】21. C 22. D 23. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。主要报道了三位科技行业的领军人物以及他们的心路旅程。他们的故事将继续激励和创造新的领导者，无论他们的财富或环境如何，他们都渴望获得成功。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据SUNDAR PICHAI中“At the top of the list is Sundar Pichai, the current CEO of Google, who was not born with a silver spoon in his mouth, sharing a two-bedroom apartment with his parents and younger brother, and only started having a phone in his house when he was 12.”（排在第一位的是谷歌的现任CEO桑达尔·皮查伊，他不是出生在富贵人家，和父母以及弟弟一起住在一套两居室的公寓里，直到12岁才开始在家里安装电话。）可知，Sundar Pichai是一个完美的例子来说明“出生贫穷，一个人仍然可以成功”。故选C项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据STEVE JOBS中“He was fired from the company that he co-founded (which later become known as Apple), then he went on to start up two other successful companies, before returning to Apple, where he created the iPhone, the product that many consider to be the most significant invention of this Century.”（他曾被自己参与创办的公司(后来被称为苹果公司)解雇，然后他又创办了另外两家成功的公司，然后回到苹果，在那里他创造了iPhone，许多人认为这款产品是本世纪最重要的发明。）可知，史蒂夫·乔布斯的人生像过山车是因为他被他共同创立的公司解雇了。故选D项。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据SAL KHAN中“Using his website, anyone can have unlimited access to educational videos for free, allowing people to gain in-depth knowledge about many subjects without attending a formal course. For this, he is on the list of the 100 most influential people in the world.”（使用他的网站，任何人都可以无限制地免费观看教育视频，让人们无需参加正式课程就能深入了解许多科目。因此，他登上了世界上最具影响力的100人的名单。）可知，他的网站为人们免费提供各种知识是让Sal Khan成为世界上最具影响力的100人之一。故选C项。 B Crowded by defenders, Charlie Villanueva leaps toward the basket. One hand lifts the ball high, and for a moment he seems to hang in the air. Then he hammers the ball through the rim. Slam dunk! His career may look like a slam dunk, being a national champion at the University of Connecticut, and setting beginner records with the Toronto Raptors. However, life wasn’t always easy for him. His success is due to more than his ability to play basketball and he owes much of who he is today to a skin disease called alopecia areata, which is not infectious but is caused by an error in the immune system that triggers germ-fighting cells to attack the body’s own hair-growing cells. Charlie was affected at age 10 and lost all his hair by age 12. This made him a target for bullying, leading him to withdraw and hide under caps and hoods. With the support of his mother, Charlie found refuge in basketball. He channeled his frustrations and stress into motivation, improving his skills to the point where his talent overshadowed his condition. The bullying stopped, and his basketball career took off. All along the way, Charlie has consistently dedicated himself to helping others. Ever since his first year as a new player, he has served as a spokesperson for the National Alopecia Areata Foundation, and went on to establish the Charlie Villanueva Foundation, an organization aimed at supporting families with children suffering from alopecia and stopping all forms of bullying. As the son of immigrants from the· Dominican Republic, he has even worked towards ending poverty in that country. Charlie inspires young people to embrace their individuality and have confidence in themselves. “We’re all unique in our own ways,” he says, encouraging them to remember that with dedication and self-belief, any dream is within reach. 24. Why is Charlie’s slam dunk mentioned in Paragraph 1? A. To compare him with other champions. B. To highlight his skills and achievements. C. To explain how a slam dunk is performed. D. To demonstrate a specific moment in a game. 25. What made Charlie avoid his peers? A. An infectious skin disease. B. His being made fun of. C. An error in the immune system. D. His average ability to play basketball. 26. Which of the following best describes Charlie? A. Humble and responsible. B. Strong-willed and helpful. C. Innovative and generous. D. Good-natured and tolerant. 27. What message does the text convey? A. Fortune favors the prepared. B. Actions speak louder than words. C. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. D. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. 【答案】24. B 25. B 26. B 27. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲述了篮球运动员查理·乌尼维加的成长经历，他克服脱发症和欺凌，通过篮球获得成功，并致力于帮助他人和反对欺凌。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第一段中“One hand lifts the ball high, and for a moment he seems to hang in the air. Then he hammers the ball through the rim. Slam dunk! His career may look like a slam dunk, being a national champion at the University of Connecticut, and setting beginner records with the Toronto Raptors. (一只手把球举得很高，有那么一会儿，他似乎悬在空中。然后他把球击过篮筐。扣篮！他的职业生涯可能看起来像一个灌篮，成为康涅狄格大学的全国冠军，并在多伦多猛龙队创造了初学者的记录。)”可知，提到他的扣篮是为了突出他的技能和成就。故选B。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第二段中“His success is due to more than his ability to play basketball and he owes much of who he is today to a skin disease called alopecia areata, which is not infectious but is caused by an error in the immune system that triggers germ-fighting cells to attack the body’s own hair-growing cells. Charlie was affected at age 10 and lost all his hair by age 12. This made him a target for bullying, leading him to withdraw and hide under caps and hoods. (他的成功不仅仅是因为他打篮球的能力，他今天的成就在很大程度上要归功于一种叫做斑秃的皮肤病，这种疾病不是传染性的，而是由免疫系统的错误引起的，这种错误会触发对抗细菌的细胞攻击身体自身的生发细胞。查理在10岁时受到影响，12岁时脱发。这使他成为欺凌的目标，导致他退缩并躲在帽子和兜帽下。)”可知，被嘲笑使他避免与同龄人接触。故选B。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第三段中“With the support of his mother, Charlie found refuge in basketball. He channeled his frustrations and stress into motivation, improving his skills to the point where his talent overshadowed his condition. The bullying stopped, and his basketball career took off. (在母亲的支持下，查理在篮球中找到了慰藉。他将挫折和压力转化为动力，不断提高自己的技能，直到他的天赋盖过了他的身体状况。欺凌停止了，他的篮球生涯开始了。)”可知，他有坚强的意志。由文章第四段中“All along the way, Charlie has consistently dedicated himself to helping others. Ever since his first year as a new player, he has served as a spokesperson for the National Alopecia Areata Foundation, and went on to establish the Charlie Villanueva Foundation, an organization aimed at supporting families with children suffering from alopecia and stopping all forms of bullying.(一路走来，查理一直致力于帮助他人。从他作为新球员的第一年开始，他就担任了国家斑秃基金会的发言人，并建立了查理维拉纽瓦基金会，该组织旨在支持有脱发儿童的家庭，并阻止各种形式的欺凌。)”可知，查理一直致力于帮助他人，这表明他是乐于助人的。因此，坚强意志和乐于助人最能描述查理。故选B。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，由文章第三段“With the support of his mother, Charlie found refuge in basketball. He channeled his frustrations and stress into motivation, improving his skills to the point where his talent overshadowed his condition. The bullying stopped, and his basketball career took off. (在母亲的支持下，查理在篮球中找到了慰藉。他将挫折和压力转化为动力，不断提高自己的技能，直到他的天赋盖过了他的身体状况。欺凌停止了，他的篮球生涯开始了。)”可知，查理虽然遭受了脱发症的困扰，但他凭借坚强的意志和乐于助人的品质，不仅在篮球上取得了成功，还积极帮助他人。这表明逆境使人更强大。故选C。 C A build-it-yourself solar still(蒸馏器) is one of the best ways to obtain drinking water in areas where the liquid is not readily available. Developed by two doctors in the U.S. Department of Agriculture, it’s an excellent water collector. Unfortunately, you must carry the necessary equipment with you, since it’s all but impossible to find natural substitutes. The only components required, though, are a 5＇×5＇ sheet of clear or slightly milky plastic, six feet of plastic tube, and a container— perhaps just a drinking cup — to catch the water. These pieces can be folded into a neat little pack and fastened on your belt. To construct a working still, use a sharp stick or rock to dig a hole four feet across and three feet deep. Try to make the hole in a damp area to increase the water catcher’s productivity. Place your cup in the deepest part of the hole. Then lay the tube in place so that one end rests all the way in the cup and the rest of the line runs up — and out — the side of the hole. Next, cover the hole with the plastic sheet, securing the edges of the plastic with dirt and weighting the sheet’s center down with a rock. The plastic should now form a cone(圆锥体) with 45-degree-angled sides. The low point of the sheet must be centered directly over, and no more than three inches above, the cup. The solar still works by creating a greenhouse under the plastic. Ground water evaporates (蒸发) and collects on the sheet until small drops of water form, run down the material and fall off into the cup. When the container is full, you can suck the refreshment out through the tube, and won’t have to break down the still every time you need a drink. 28. What do we know about the solar still equipment from the first paragraph? A. It’s delicate. B. It’s expensive. C. It’s complex. D. It’s portable. 29. What does the underlined phrase “the water catcher” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. The tube. B. The still. C. The hole. D. The cup. 30. What’s the last step of constructing a working solar still? A. Dig a hole of a certain size. B. Put the cup in place. C. Weight the sheet’s center down. D. Cover the hole with the plastic sheet. 31. When a solar still works, drops of water come into the cup from ________. A. the plastic tube B. outside the hole C. the open air D. beneath the sheet 【答案】28. D 29. B 30. C 31. D 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇科普文章。文章主要介绍了一种自己可以亲手制作的简单易行的太阳能蒸馏器的方法和它的工作原理。这种蒸馏器所需的材料简单，适用于任何缺水的地方。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段最后一句话These pieces can be folded into a neat little pack and fastened on your belt.可知，制作蒸馏器的东西可以叠放在一个小包，系在腰间。说明制作蒸馏器的设备很轻便，portable表示“轻便的;手提的”，故选D。 【29题详解】 猜测词义题。根据文章Try to make the hole in a damp area to increase the water catcher’s productivity可知，最好在潮湿的地方挖洞，以提高接水器的工作效率。接水器指的是在潮湿地方挖洞，在洞的底部放一个杯子，杯子上方用覆盖膜遮挡。整个装置构成接水器，而不是某个部分。这一题很容易错选D。就算在干燥的地方挖洞，杯子也可以接水，杯子接水的事实并不会因为周围的环境变化而变化，杯子的工作效率是不变的。故选B。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的Next, cover the hole with the plastic sheet, securing the edges of the plastic with dirt and weighting the sheet’s center down with a rock.可知，最后一步是weighting the sheet’s center down with a rock“放一块石头在覆盖膜的中间，把它压下去”，故选C。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的Ground water evaporates (蒸发) and collects on the sheet until small drops of water form, run down the material and fall off into the cup可知，地下水蒸发，在覆盖膜上聚集起来直到形成小水滴落在杯子里。覆盖膜是在杯子上面的，水滴落入杯子里。所以水滴是凝聚在覆盖膜的下面。故选D。 D We all have people who don’t like us and don’t give us the time of day. Many of them have shown superiority or talked down to us, have criticized us, or have hurt us in a deep way. Why, then, are they the first people we want to tell when we accomplish something big? Or when something good happens in our lives? “A-ha!” we think, “See? I am valuable and worthy. You were wrong about me. Look at me now.” It all gets back to our wiring (脑回路). Our brain prioritizes survival first and everything else second. It creates an inner stream of survival-based thoughts from “Am I good / smart / pretty enough?” to “I really need a snack,” using an automatic thought network called the default (默认) mode network (DMN). The DMN scans the environment for potential threats and focuses on data that suggests we are unsafe. The people who love and support us give us positive feedback. Those comments don’t capture the DMN’s interest. The person who criticizes us? Now he or she has the DMN’s attention. The one who totally rejects us? Let’s get the popcorn. Think about how polite we are to people we don’t like. We are so used to performing social graces that we often dismiss positive feedback coming back to us as courtesy (礼貌), not truth. Negative feedback, on the other hand, can feel like we’re finally hearing what people think. We tend to grasp onto it as some higher truth about who we are and what we should be doing differently when, in reality, it probably has nothing to do with us. People who criticize or blame others often have an overactive DMN that tells them they are doing everything wrong. When they criticize us, they are revealing the negative thoughts and beliefs that consume their own minds. Their DMNs are convinced that they are unsafe in this world, and they are going to spread that unhappiness to anyone and everyone around them. So it’s time to kick the annoying people off the soapboxes in our mind. We have nothing to prove to them. And it’s time to embrace positive feedback from the ones we love, and who love us. They’re not being polite; they’re being honest. Give our DMN a reality check on how great we actually are. 32. What really causes us to share accomplishments with critics first? A. The urge to fight back. B. The desire to prove our worth. C. The need to regain confidence. D. The DMN activated by criticism. 33. What does the author mean by “Let’s get the popcorn.” in Paragraph 2? A. We feel offended and lose interest. B. We turn our attention to other things. C. We need a snack to comfort ourselves. D. We expect something dramatic to happen. 34. What does the article suggest about negative and positive feedback? A. Negative feedback is attention-grabbing and honest. B. Negative feedback actually reflects our lack of security. C. Positive feedback is less readily accepted by the brain. D. Positive feedback is less genuine and easily overlooked. 35. What is the text mainly about? A. Embracing positive feedback. B. Understanding DMN’s secret. C. The impact of negative feedback. D. The importance of self-confidence. 【答案】32. D 33. D 34. C 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章解释了为什么我们倾向于向不喜欢我们的人炫耀成就，以及为什么负面反馈更容易影响我们。作者认为这与大脑的运作方式有关，提倡摆脱对批评者的关注，接受来自爱与支持的正面反馈。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Those comments don’t capture the DMN’s interest. The person who criticizes us? Now he or she has the DMN’s attention.(这些评论并没有引起DMN的兴趣。批评我们的人？现在他或她引起了DMN的注意)”可推知，是被批评激活的DMN让我们首先与批评者分享成就。故选D项。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“The people who love and support us give us positive feedback. Those comments don’t capture the DMN’s interest. The person who criticizes us? Now he or she has the DMN’s attention. The one who totally rejects us? Let’s get the popcorn.(爱我们、支持我们的人会给我们积极的反馈。这些评论并没有引起DMN的兴趣。批评我们的人？现在他或她引起了DMN的注意。那个完全拒绝我们的人？我们去买爆米花吧)”可知，DMN对积极反馈不感兴趣，负面反馈引起注意，完全否定会唤起更大关注。故可推知，作者说“让我们去拿爆米花”意思是我们期待戏剧性的事情发生。故选D项。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“We are so used to performing social graces that we often dismiss positive feedback coming back to us as courtesy (礼貌), not truth.(我们太习惯于表现出社交上的优雅，以至于我们常常把反馈给我们的积极反馈视为礼貌，而不是真理)”可知，积极的反馈不太容易被大脑接受。故选C项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“So it’s time to kick the annoying people off the soapboxes in our mind. We have nothing to prove to them. And it’s time to embrace positive feedback from the ones we love, and who love us. They’re not being polite; they’re being honest. Give our DMN a reality check on how great we actually are.(所以是时候把那些烦人的人从我们脑海中踢出去了。我们不需要向他们证明什么。是时候接受来自我们所爱的人和爱我们的人的积极反馈了。他们不礼貌；他们是诚实的。给我们的DMN一个现实检查，看看我们到底有多伟大)”结合文章解释了为什么我们倾向于向不喜欢我们的人炫耀成就，以及为什么负面反馈更容易影响我们。作者认为这与大脑的运作方式有关，提倡摆脱对批评者的关注，接受来自爱与支持的正面反馈。可知，这篇文章的主要内容是接受积极的反馈。故选A项。 E As you leave the Bandhavgarh National Park in India there is a notice which shows a huge tiger. The notice says, “You may not have seen me, but I have seen you.” There are more than a billion people in India and Indian tigers probably see humans every single day. Tigers can and do kill almost anything they meet in the jungle. However, it is a little strange that attacks on humans are not that frequent. Some people might argue that these attacks were in fact common in the past. But there were far more tigers around in those days. So, to some extent, attacks appear to have been as rare then as they are today. People think it is because of fears, but what exactly are tigers afraid of? Can they really know that we may be even better armed than they are? Surely not. Has the species programmed the experiences of all tigers with humans into its genes to be inherited as instinct? Perhaps. But I think the explanation may be simpler and, in a way, more interesting. I suspect that a tiger’s fear of humans lies in the way he actually observes us visually. Imagine a tiger sees a man who is 1.8 meters tall. A tiger is less than 1 meter tall but he may be up to 3 meters long from head to tail. So when a tiger sees the man face on, it might not be unreasonable for him to assume that the man is 6 meters long. If he met a deer of this size, he might attack the animal by leaping on its back, but when he looks behind the man, he can’t see a back. From the front the man is huge, but looked at from the side he all but disappears. This must be very disturbing. A hunter has to be confident that it can kill its prey, and no one is confident when they are disconcerted. The opposite is true of a squatting human. A squatting human is half the size and presents twice the spread of back, and appears like a medium-sized deer. Many incidents of attacks on people involve villagers bending over to cut grass. The fact that humans stand upright may not just distinguish them from other species, but also help them to survive in an unpredictable environment. 36. As for some people’s opinion on tiger attacks, the author is ________. A. objective B. unconcerned C. supportive D. disapproving 37. Why does the author raise three questions in Paragraph 3? A. To present assumptions. B. To evaluate arguments. C. To question findings. D. To confirm opinions. 38. What does the underlined word “disconcerted” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Confused. B. Annoyed. C. Depressed. D. Surprised. 39. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs? A. It is the genes that cause the tiger’s fear of humans. B. It is hard for a tiger to make out the shape of humans. C. Tigers sense the danger the moment they spot humans. D. Tigers are less confident when facing squatting humans. 【答案】36. D 37. A 38. A 39. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要就老虎袭击人的原因展开讨论，作者认为老虎攻击人是因为很难辨认出人的形状。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Some people might argue that these attacks were in fact common in the past. But there were far more tigers around in those days. So, to some extent, attacks appear to have been as rare then as they are today. (有些人可能会争辩说，这些攻击实际上在过去很常见。但那时候老虎的数量要多得多。因此，从某种程度上说，袭击事件在当时和今天一样罕见)”可知，对于一些人对老虎袭击的看法，作者不赞成。故选D。 【37题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“People think it is because of fears, but what exactly are tigers afraid of? Can they really know that we may be even better armed than they are? Surely not. Has the species programmed the experiences of all tigers with humans into its genes to be inherited as instinct? Perhaps. But I think the explanation may be simpler and, in a way, more interesting.(人们认为这是因为恐惧，但老虎到底害怕什么？他们真的知道我们的武器装备比他们更好吗？当然不是。这个物种是否将所有老虎与人类相处的经历编入了自己的基因，并作为本能遗传了下来？也许。但我认为解释可能更简单，在某种程度上也更有趣)”可推知，作者在第3段提出了三个问题是为了提出假设。故选A。 【38题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“A hunter has to be confident that it can kill its prey, and no one is confident when they are”可知，猎人必须对自己能杀死猎物充满信心，而没有人在对猎物感到困惑时是自信的。故划线词意思是“困惑的”。故选A。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“I suspect that a tiger’s fear of humans lies in the way he actually observes us visually. Imagine a tiger sees a man who is 1.8 meters tall. A tiger is less than 1 meter tall but he may be up to 3 meters long from head to tail. So when a tiger sees the man face on, it might not be unreasonable for him to assume that the man is 6 meters long. If he met a deer of this size, he might attack the animal by leaping on its back, but when he looks behind the man, he can’t see a back.(我怀疑老虎对人类的恐惧来自于它观察人类的视觉方式。想象一只老虎看到一个1.8米高的人。老虎不到1米高，但从头到尾可达3米长。因此，当老虎看到这个人的脸时，它可能会认为这个人有6米长。如果他遇到这么大的鹿，他可能会跳到它的背上攻击它，但当他看那个人的背后时，他看不到背影)”以及最后一段“The opposite is true of a squatting human. A squatting human is half the size and presents twice the spread of back, and appears like a medium-sized deer.(而蹲着的人则相反。一个蹲着的人只有一半的大小，两倍的背部伸展，看起来像一只中等大小的鹿)”可知，老虎很难辨认出人的形状。故选B。 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。 Tips to help you overcome people-pleasing Considering other people’s feelings and treating them with kindness is something we strive to do.___40___ When this happens, people-pleasing has crossed the line from kind and generous to self-abandonment — not being the authentic self because we’re afraid others will disapprove, criticize, or reject us. Here are tips for you to overcome such behaviors. ___41___ Self-care is a necessity, not a luxury. It’s not something you do if you have time or if you deserve it. Taking care of your emotional, mental, spiritual, and physical needs keeps you healthy. Without it, you’ll get sick, stressed, and irritable. Try putting self-care activities (exercise, socializing, hobbies, etc.) on your calendar to ensure that self-care is a priority. Not everyone’s opinion matters. One big mistake people-pleasers make is acting as if everyone’s opinion matters equally. You don’t differentiate whose opinion matters more. Generally, the closer the relationship, the more you’ll value their opinion and want to please them. Thus, it’s natural to want to do things to make your loved ones happy. ___42___ Healthy conflict can improve relationships. Most people worry that painful conflicts will destroy relationships. ___43___ But it’s not helpful or possible. When you avoid conflict, you suppress your feelings and needs. And this causes you to disconnect from yourself and from others. But healthy conflict is the one in which both parties can respectfully express themselves. ___44___ This is quite different from the unhealthy conflicts. A. Be aware of your inner needs. B. Taking care of yourself isn’t selfish. C. This indicates that we’re People-Pleasers. D. It’s understandable and common to want to avoid them. E. But sacrificing our wellbeing to make others happy is not. F. However, you don’t need to please acquaintances in the same way. G. It results in greater understanding and ultimately strengthens the relationship. 【答案】40. E 41. B 42. F 43. D 44. G 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。本文是关于人际关系和个人成长的建议，主要是关于如何克服过度迎合他人的行为。 【40题详解】 设空后文“When this happens, people-pleasing has crossed the line from kind and generous to self-abandonment — not being the authentic self because we’re afraid others will disapprove, criticize, or reject us.(当这种情况发生时，取悦他人已经越过了从善良和慷慨到自暴自弃的界限——不做真实的自己，因为我们害怕别人不赞成、批评或拒绝我们。)”提到了一种不好的情况带来的后果，由此推知，设空句应提及这种情况具体是什么样的。选项E“But sacrificing our wellbeing to make others happy is not.(但牺牲自己的幸福来让别人幸福却不是。)”中的“牺牲自己的幸福满足别人”即为这种情况的具体表现，呼应后文的“this”，且“But”与前文构成转折关系，符合语境。故选E项。 【41题详解】 设空句为该部分小标题，应是该部分的核心主旨。根据后文“Self-care is a necessity, not a luxury…Without it, you’ll get sick, stressed, and irritable.(自我照顾是必须的，而不是奢侈的……没有它，你会生病、压力大、易怒。)”可知，该部分强调的是自我照顾的重要性。选项B“Taking care of yourself isn’t selfish.(照顾好自己不是自私。)”可概括该部分主旨。故选B项。 【42题详解】 根据前文“Generally, the closer the relationship, the more you’ll value their opinion and want to please them. Thus, it’s natural to want to do things to make your loved ones happy.(一般来说，关系越亲密，你就越看重他们的意见，越想取悦他们。因此，想要做一些让你所爱的人快乐的事情是很自然的。)”提到了看重所爱的人的意见，想要取悦他们是很自然的，而结合该部分的主题“Not everyone’s opinion matters.(不是每个人的意见都重要。)”强调亲疏有别可推知，设空句应讲述如何对待关系不亲密的人。选项F“However, you don’t need to please acquaintances in the same way.(然而，你不需要用同样的方式来取悦相识的人。)”讲到对熟人就要区别对对待，不需要过分迎合，爱人和相识的人显示了亲疏有别，在句意上符合分析，且“However”与前文构成转折，符合语境。故选F项。 【43题详解】 根据后文“But it’s not helpful or possible.(但这没有帮助，也不可能。)”提出了反对，应是与设空句之间存在转折关系，由此推知，设空句应是对前文“Most people worry that painful conflicts will destroy relationships.(大多数人担心痛苦的冲突会破坏人际关系。)”的认同和理解。选项D“It’s understandable and common to want to avoid them.(想要避免它们是可以理解的，也是很常见的。)”表达了理解的含义，且能够与后文构成转折关系。故选D项。 【44题详解】 根据前文“But healthy conflict is the one in which both parties can respectfully express themselves.(但健康的冲突是双方都能尊重地表达自己的冲突。)”提出了健康的冲突的表现方式，那么设空句应讲述健康冲突的结果。选项G“It results in greater understanding and ultimately strengthens the relationship.(它会带来更好的理解，并最终加强关系。)”讲到了说明健康冲突的结果：增加理解，最终强化关系，符合分析。故选G项。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30 分） 第一节（共15 小题；每小题1 分，满分15 分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。 I was in Chicago for a job training when I knew a nearby theatre was releasing a film about saving dogs.

Some of my friends had signed up to spend time at a soup kitchen so I did, too. It seemed like a good thing to do. I thought that we would just be passing out dinners to those in need, but I found out we would be doing everything from preparing to serving the dinner. We began preparing the food, from mixing salad dressing to separating frozen meat. Much still needed to be done before dinner was served, but already outside the building many homeless people were gathering. It wasn’t until a couple of hours later that we opened the doors and began serving dinner. As the line of people came toward me, I got a little scared. I’d come face to face with the homeless: How should I act? How would they treat me? Would they hate me for having more than they did? While some of the people looked very friendly, some of them looked so dangerous. I didn’t have too much time to worry about it. I was assigned (分配) to serve the salad with the lady next to me. She smiled at me and said if I needed help, she’d be right there, which I found quite comforting. I had never seen so many people wanting food. They were of all ages and nationalities. Most of them wore clothes that were torn and dirty. Some looked like they had given up on life, while others seemed to be making the best of the situation, smiling and joking. Some were better off than others, but they all needed a good meal and a warm place to eat. It saddened me to think of how many people there were who didn’t have a place to call home and the only food they got came from a soup kitchen. 70. How did the author’s attitude toward the homeless people change throughout the experience? Why? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 71. How did the presence of the “smiling lady” influence the author’s action? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 72. What might the author do after seeing so many people wanting food? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】70. The author’s attitude changed from worry and fear, to concern and sadness, as she came to understand the real situation of the homeless. (关键词：worry, fear, uncertainty; concern, sadness, sympathy; the truth) 71. The lady acted as a supportive guide, whose calmness and encouragement comforted the author and helped her overcome fear. (关键词：encourage, comfort, support) 72. She might be a little nervous, but she might make efforts to serve food to the homeless people with a smile. She might want to know what they were going through and what she could do for them. She would be happy that she earned her service hours in this way. (关键词：serve food with a smile; do what she could for them; earn her service hours) 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。讲述作者为完成高中毕业所需的社区服务时长，参与施粥所志愿服务，在接触无家可归者的过程中态度逐渐转变的经历。 【70题详解】 考查推理判断。根据第三段“As the line of people came toward me, I got a little scared. I’d come face to face with the homeless: How should I act? How would they treat me? (当人群朝我走来时，我有点害怕。我即将直面无家可归的人：我该如何表现？他们会怎么对待我？)”可知，作者最初因未知而担忧恐惧；又根据第四段“It saddened me to think of how many people there were who didn’t have a place to call home and the only food they got came from a soup kitchen. (一想到有那么多人没有一个可以称之为家的地方，唯一的食物来自施粥所，我就感到难过。)”可知，了解无家可归者的真实处境后，作者转为关心和同情。故答案为The author’s attitude changed from worry and fear to concern and sadness because she understood the real situation of the homeless. (关键词：worry, fear, uncertainty; concern, sadness, sympathy; the truth) 【71题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第三段“She smiled at me and said if I needed help, she’d be right there, which I found quite comforting. (她对我微笑着说，如果我需要帮助，她就在那里，这让我感到很安慰。)”可知，微笑女士的冷静与鼓励安慰了作者，帮助其克服恐惧，成为支持性的引导者。故答案为The smiling lady comforted and encouraged the author, helping her overcome fear with her support. (关键词：encourage, comfort, support) 【72题详解】 考查推理判断。根据第四段“I had never seen so many people wanting food. They were of all ages and nationalities. Most of them wore clothes that were torn and dirty. Some looked like they had given up on life, while others seemed to be making the best of the situation, smiling and joking. Some were better off than others, but they all needed a good meal and a warm place to eat. It saddened me to think of how many people there were who didn’t have a place to call home and the only food they got came from a soup kitchen.(我从未见过这么多人渴望食物。他们来自不同年龄和民族。大多数人穿着破旧肮脏的衣服。有些人看起来好像已经对生活放弃了希望，而另一些人则似乎在尽力苦中作乐，微笑着开着玩笑。有些人的状况比其他人稍好一些，但他们都需要一顿美餐和一个温暖的地方来吃饭。一想到有那么多人没有一个可以称之为家的地方，唯一的食物来自施粥所，我就感到难过。)”可知，此处介绍了作者对无家可归者处境的同情，结合志愿服务的经历可推知，作者可能会有点紧张，但或许会努力面带微笑为无家可归的人们端上食物。她可能想了解他们正经历什么，以及自己能为他们做些什么。她会为通过这种方式完成服务时长而感到开心。故答案为She might be a little nervous, but she might make efforts to serve food to the homeless people with a smile. She might want to know what they were going through and what she could do for them. She would be happy that she earned her service hours in this way. (关键词：serve food with a smile; do what she could for them; earn her service hours) 第五部分 写作（满分20分） 73. 随着人工智能技术的快速发展，生成式AI工具(如豆包、DeepSeek、Kimi等)正逐步融入我们的生活。你校英文报正在举办题为“Using Generative AI Wisely for Learning”的征文比赛。请写一篇短文参赛，内容包括： 1. 生成式AI对学习的利与弊；2. 如何合理使用该技术。 注意：词数100左右； 参考词汇：人工智能技术AI technology 生成式人工智能generative AI Using Generative AI Wisely for Learning ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Using Generative AI Wisely for Learning With the rapid development of AI technology, generative AI tools like Doubao, DeepSeek, and Kimi are reshaping learning. While they offer great benefits, their misuse may lead to challenges. On the positive side, generative AI acts as a 24/7 tutor, which can answer questions instantly, explain complex concepts in simple terms, and even generate study materials. However, overreliance on AI may weaken critical thinking. Students might accept AI-generated answers without checking or lose motivation to explore ideas independently. To use generative Al wisely, students should treat AI as a supplementary tool, not a replacement for learning. We are supposed to confirm its responses with reliable sources and combine AI assistance with personal analysis. Most importantly, maintaining intellectual curiosity is a must, with AI inspiring deeper thinking rather than limiting creativity. By balancing AI’s efficiency with human effort, we can unlock its full potential for growth. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文。要求考生写一篇参赛短文，参加题为 “Using Generative AI Wisely for Learning” 的征文比赛。 【详解】1.词汇积累 快速的：rapid→swift 提供：offer→provide 积极的：positive→optimistic 然而：however→nevertheless 2.句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：Most importantly, maintaining intellectual curiosity is a must, with AI inspiring deeper thinking rather than limiting creativity. 拓展句：What is most important is that maintaining intellectual curiosity is a must, with AI inspiring deeper thinking rather than limiting creativity. 【点睛】【高分句型1】On the positive side, generative AI acts as a 24/7 tutor, which can answer questions instantly, explain complex concepts in simple terms, and even generate study materials.（运用了which引导非限制性定语从句） 【高分句型2】By balancing AI’s efficiency with human effort, we can unlock its full potential for growth.（运用了动名词作宾语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 高2024级高一下期5月阶段性测试英语试题 考试时间：120 分钟 总分：150 分 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,并标在试卷的相应位置。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. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What did the woman do yesterday?

What were their journeys like? SUNDAR PICHAI At the top of the list is Sundar Pichai, the current CEO of Google, who was not born with a silver spoon in his mouth, sharing a two-bedroom apartment with his parents and younger brother, and only started having a phone in his house when he was 12. During his time as CBO, Pichai led the launch of Google Chrome, the most used web engine, Google Drive and Google Maps, which are features that have revolutionised modern lifestyle. STEVE JOBS Another well-known individual is the CEO of Pixar and NeXT, and the co-founder and CEO of Apple, Steve Jobs. Undoubtedly, his life can be compared to that of a rollercoaster. He was fired from the company that he co-founded (which later become known as Apple), then he went on to start up two other successful companies, before returning to Apple, where he created the iPhone, the product that many consider to be the most significant invention of this Century. SAL KHAN Then, we have the owner of one of the biggest online education providers, Khan Academy. He may not be as famous as the other two, but his contribution to education deserves as much credit. Using his website, anyone can have unlimited access to educational videos for free, allowing people to gain in-depth knowledge about many subjects without attending a formal course. For this, he is on the list of the 100 most influential people in the world. Their stories will continue to inspire and create new leaders who aspire to attain success regardless of their wealth or circumstances. 21. Who is a perfect example to show “Born poor, one can still succeed.”? A Sal Khan B. Steve Jobs C. Sundar Pichai D. All of them 22. Why is Steve Jobs’ life like a rollercoaster? A. Because he likes rollercoasters. B. Because his life is full of ups and downs. C. Because he started two other successful companies. D. Because he was fired by the company that he co-founded. 23.

He owns one of the biggest online education providers, Khan Academy. C. His website provides people with access to various knowledge free of charge. D. His product is considered to be the most significant invention of this century. B Crowded by defenders, Charlie Villanueva leaps toward the basket. One hand lifts the ball high, and for a moment he seems to hang in the air. Then he hammers the ball through the rim. Slam dunk! His career may look like a slam dunk, being a national champion at the University of Connecticut, and setting beginner records with the Toronto Raptors. However, life wasn’t always easy for him. His success is due to more than his ability to play basketball and he owes much of who he is today to a skin disease called alopecia areata, which is not infectious but is caused by an error in the immune system that triggers germ-fighting cells to attack the body’s own hair-growing cells. Charlie was affected at age 10 and lost all his hair by age 12. This made him a target for bullying, leading him to withdraw and hide under caps and hoods. With the support of his mother, Charlie found refuge in basketball. He channeled his frustrations and stress into motivation, improving his skills to the point where his talent overshadowed his condition. The bullying stopped, and his basketball career took off. All along the way, Charlie has consistently dedicated himself to helping others. Ever since his first year as a new player, he has served as a spokesperson for the National Alopecia Areata Foundation, and went on to establish the Charlie Villanueva Foundation, an organization aimed at supporting families with children suffering from alopecia and stopping all forms of bullying. As the son of immigrants from the· Dominican Republic, he has even worked towards ending poverty in that country. Charlie inspires young people to embrace their individuality and have confidence in themselves. “We’re all unique in our own ways,” he says, encouraging them to remember that with dedication and self-belief, any dream is within reach. 24. Why is Charlie’s slam dunk mentioned in Paragraph 1? A. To compare him with other champions. B. To highlight his skills and achievements. C. To explain how a slam dunk is performed. D. To demonstrate a specific moment in a game. 25. What made Charlie avoid his peers? A. An infectious skin disease. B. His being made fun of. C. An error in the immune system. D. His average ability to play basketball. 26. Which of the following best describes Charlie? A. Humble and responsible. B. Strong-willed and helpful. C. Innovative and generous. D. Good-natured and tolerant. 27. What message does the text convey? A. Fortune favors the prepared. B. Actions speak louder than words. C. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. D. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. C A build-it-yourself solar still(蒸馏器) is one of the best ways to obtain drinking water in areas where the liquid is not readily available. Developed by two doctors in the U.S. Department of Agriculture, it’s an excellent water collector. Unfortunately, you must carry the necessary equipment with you, since it’s all but impossible to find natural substitutes. The only components required, though, are a 5＇×5＇ sheet of clear or slightly milky plastic, six feet of plastic tube, and a container— perhaps just a drinking cup — to catch the water. These pieces can be folded into a neat little pack and fastened on your belt. To construct a working still, use a sharp stick or rock to dig a hole four feet across and three feet deep. Try to make the hole in a damp area to increase the water catcher’s productivity. Place your cup in the deepest part of the hole. Then lay the tube in place so that one end rests all the way in the cup and the rest of the line runs up — and out — the side of the hole. Next, cover the hole with the plastic sheet, securing the edges of the plastic with dirt and weighting the sheet’s center down with a rock. The plastic should now form a cone(圆锥体) with 45-degree-angled sides. The low point of the sheet must be centered directly over, and no more than three inches above, the cup. The solar still works by creating a greenhouse under the plastic. Ground water evaporates (蒸发) and collects on the sheet until small drops of water form, run down the material and fall off into the cup. When the container is full, you can suck the refreshment out through the tube, and won’t have to break down the still every time you need a drink. 28. What do we know about the solar still equipment from the first paragraph? A. It’s delicate. B. It’s expensive. C. It’s complex. D. It’s portable. 29. What does the underlined phrase “the water catcher” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. The tube. B. The still. C. The hole. D. The cup. 30 What’s the last step of constructing a working solar still? A. Dig a hole of a certain size. B. Put the cup in place. C. Weight the sheet’s center down. D. Cover the hole with the plastic sheet. 31. When a solar still works, drops of water come into the cup from ________. A. the plastic tube B. outside the hole C. the open air D. beneath the sheet D We all have people who don’t like us and don’t give us the time of day. Many of them have shown superiority or talked down to us, have criticized us, or have hurt us in a deep way. Why, then, are they the first people we want to tell when we accomplish something big? Or when something good happens in our lives? “A-ha!” we think, “See? I am valuable and worthy. You were wrong about me. Look at me now.” It all gets back to our wiring (脑回路). Our brain prioritizes survival first and everything else second. It creates an inner stream of survival-based thoughts from “Am I good / smart / pretty enough?” to “I really need a snack,” using an automatic thought network called the default (默认) mode network (DMN). The DMN scans the environment for potential threats and focuses on data that suggests we are unsafe. The people who love and support us give us positive feedback. Those comments don’t capture the DMN’s interest. The person who criticizes us? Now he or she has the DMN’s attention. The one who totally rejects us? Let’s get the popcorn. Think about how polite we are to people we don’t like. We are so used to performing social graces that we often dismiss positive feedback coming back to us as courtesy (礼貌), not truth. Negative feedback, on the other hand, can feel like we’re finally hearing what people think. We tend to grasp onto it as some higher truth about who we are and what we should be doing differently when, in reality, it probably has nothing to do with us. People who criticize or blame others often have an overactive DMN that tells them they are doing everything wrong. When they criticize us, they are revealing the negative thoughts and beliefs that consume their own minds. Their DMNs are convinced that they are unsafe in this world, and they are going to spread that unhappiness to anyone and everyone around them. So it’s time to kick the annoying people off the soapboxes in our mind. We have nothing to prove to them. And it’s time to embrace positive feedback from the ones we love, and who love us. They’re not being polite; they’re being honest. Give our DMN a reality check on how great we actually are. 32. What really causes us to share accomplishments with critics first? A. The urge to fight back. B. The desire to prove our worth. C. The need to regain confidence. D. The DMN activated by criticism. 33. What does the author mean by “Let’s get the popcorn.” in Paragraph 2? A. We feel offended and lose interest. B. We turn our attention to other things. C. We need a snack to comfort ourselves. D. We expect something dramatic to happen. 34. What does the article suggest about negative and positive feedback? A. Negative feedback is attention-grabbing and honest. B. Negative feedback actually reflects our lack of security. C. Positive feedback is less readily accepted by the brain. D. Positive feedback is less genuine and easily overlooked. 35. What is the text mainly about? A. Embracing positive feedback. B. Understanding DMN’s secret. C. The impact of negative feedback. D. The importance of self-confidence. E As you leave the Bandhavgarh National Park in India, there is a notice which shows a huge tiger. The notice says, “You may not have seen me, but I have seen you.” There are more than a billion people in India and Indian tigers probably see humans every single day. Tigers can and do kill almost anything they meet in the jungle. However, it is a little strange that attacks on humans are not that frequent. Some people might argue that these attacks were in fact common in the past. But there were far more tigers around in those days. So, to some extent, attacks appear to have been as rare then as they are today. People think it is because of fears, but what exactly are tigers afraid of? Can they really know that we may be even better armed than they are? Surely not. Has the species programmed the experiences of all tigers with humans into its genes to be inherited as instinct? Perhaps. But I think the explanation may be simpler and, in a way, more interesting. I suspect that a tiger’s fear of humans lies in the way he actually observes us visually. Imagine a tiger sees a man who is 1.8 meters tall. A tiger is less than 1 meter tall but he may be up to 3 meters long from head to tail. So when a tiger sees the man face on, it might not be unreasonable for him to assume that the man is 6 meters long. If he met a deer of this size, he might attack the animal by leaping on its back, but when he looks behind the man, he can’t see a back. From the front the man is huge, but looked at from the side he all but disappears. This must be very disturbing. A hunter has to be confident that it can kill its prey, and no one is confident when they are disconcerted. The opposite is true of a squatting human. A squatting human is half the size and presents twice the spread of back, and appears like a medium-sized deer. Many incidents of attacks on people involve villagers bending over to cut grass. The fact that humans stand upright may not just distinguish them from other species, but also help them to survive in an unpredictable environment. 36. As for some people’s opinion on tiger attacks, the author is ________. A. objective B. unconcerned C. supportive D. disapproving 37. Why does the author raise three questions in Paragraph 3? A. To present assumptions. B. To evaluate arguments. C. To question findings. D. To confirm opinions. 38. What does the underlined word “disconcerted” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Confused. B. Annoyed. C. Depressed. D. Surprised. 39. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs? A. It is the genes that cause the tiger’s fear of humans. B. It is hard for a tiger to make out the shape of humans. C. Tigers sense the danger the moment they spot humans. D Tigers are less confident when facing squatting humans. 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。 Tips to help you overcome people-pleasing Considering other people’s feelings and treating them with kindness is something we strive to do.___40___ When this happens, people-pleasing has crossed the line from kind and generous to self-abandonment — not being the authentic self because we’re afraid others will disapprove, criticize, or reject us. Here are tips for you to overcome such behaviors. ___41___ Self-care is a necessity, not a luxury. It’s not something you do if you have time or if you deserve it. Taking care of your emotional, mental, spiritual, and physical needs keeps you healthy. Without it, you’ll get sick, stressed, and irritable. Try putting self-care activities (exercise, socializing, hobbies, etc.) on your calendar to ensure that self-care is a priority. Not everyone’s opinion matters. One big mistake people-pleasers make is acting as if everyone’s opinion matters equally. You don’t differentiate whose opinion matters more. Generally, the closer the relationship, the more you’ll value their opinion and want to please them. Thus, it’s natural to want to do things to make your loved ones happy. ___42___ Healthy conflict can improve relationships. Most people worry that painful conflicts will destroy relationships. ___43___ But it’s not helpful or possible. When you avoid conflict, you suppress your feelings and needs. And this causes you to disconnect from yourself and from others. But healthy conflict is the one in which both parties can respectfully express themselves. ___44___ This is quite different from the unhealthy conflicts. A. Be aware of your inner needs. B. Taking care of yourself isn’t selfish. C. This indicates that we’re People-Pleasers. D. It’s understandable and common to want to avoid them. E. But sacrificing our wellbeing to make others happy is not. F. However, you don’t need to please acquaintances in the same way. G. It results in greater understanding and ultimately strengthens the relationship. 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 四个选项中选出最佳选项。 I was in Chicago for a job training when I knew a nearby theatre was releasing a film about saving dogs.

Some of my friends had signed up to spend time at a soup kitchen, so I did, too. It seemed like a good thing to do. I thought that we would just be passing out dinners to those in need, but I found out we would be doing everything from preparing to serving the dinner. We began preparing the food, from mixing salad dressing to separating frozen meat. Much still needed to be done before dinner was served, but already outside the building many homeless people were gathering. It wasn’t until a couple of hours later that we opened the doors and began serving dinner. As the line of people came toward me, I got a little scared. I’d come face to face with the homeless: How should I act? How would they treat me? Would they hate me for having more than they did? While some of the people looked very friendly, some of them looked so dangerous. I didn’t have too much time to worry about it. I was assigned (分配) to serve the salad with the lady next to me. She smiled at me and said if I needed help, she’d be right there, which I found quite comforting. I had never seen so many people wanting food. They were of all ages and nationalities. Most of them wore clothes that were torn and dirty. Some looked like they had given up on life, while others seemed to be making the best of the situation, smiling and joking. Some were better off than others, but they all needed a good meal and a warm place to eat. It saddened me to think of how many people there were who didn’t have a place to call home and the only food they got came from a soup kitchen. 70.
