Why not try these biggest and best exhibitions around the world? Acts of Creation The pains and joys of motherhood are not always described with as much care and detail as in this exhibition. With over 100 artworks by over 60 artists, three themes of motherhood — creation, maintenance and loss — will be explored through paintings, photographs, sculptures, sound and films. Time: Until November 12 Location: Midlands Arts Centre, Bristol From the Other Side An exhibition on horror? It might not sound a good one for those who are not brave. However, you needn’t worry: this collection is far different from scary paintings. Instead, these artworks of 19 Australian artists aim to raise questions about horror in the women’s views. Time: Until December 23 Location: ACCA, Melbourne Modes and Characters This museum exhibition is taking a look at the history of modern graphic design and explores how computer-based publishing technology has changed the world of design.

It ranges from fashion and photography to video and sculpture. Highlights include a large-scale installation from Lauren Halsey, the work of artist Hank Thomas, and photographs from Deana Lawson.

D 【解析】 【详解】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了四个绝佳的文化展览的相关内容。 1.细节理解题。根据第二个文化展览中的“Instead, these artworks of 19 Australian artists aim to raise questions about horror in the women’s views.(相反，这些作品出自19位澳大利亚艺术家之手，旨在引发关于女性视角中的恐怖问题)”可知，这些艺术家来自澳大利亚。故选B。 2.细节理解题。根据第三个文化展览中的“This museum exhibition is taking a look at the history of modern graphic design and explores how computer-based publishing technology has changed the world of design.(这个博物馆展览正在审视现代平面设计的历史，并探讨计算机出版技术是如何改变设计世界的)”可知，这个文化展览主题是现代平面设计的历史。故选C。 3.细节理解题。根据第四个文化展览中的“Hip hop has had an influence on culture over the last 50 years, and this exhibition is taking a deep dive into its history.(在过去的50年里，嘻哈对文化产生了影响，这次展览将深入了解它的历史)”可知，要了解嘻哈文化，应该参加Hip Hop and Contemporary Art。故选D。 B Bruce Springsteen played at MetLife Stadium last weekend in New Jersey, which is about an hour’s drive from my home. I’ve been a huge fan of his music for a long time, but I’ve never seen him at a concert. There were still tickets available, and yet I held back. I didn’t want to go there alone. I’m an independent woman who has lived alone since graduating from college. I love living alone and I need lots of solo (单独的) time to recharge my batteries from a demanding job. I enjoy spending time with small groups of friends and seeing my brother and his family, but I hesitate when leisure time involves large crowds, such as concerts or even movies. I don’t have social anxiety, so I often wonder why I hesitate when it comes to going somewhere alone. A previous study stated that people hesitate about doing things by themselves because they’re afraid of how they’ll be perceived. The good news is that no one is going to notice that. The reason is “the spotlight effect” which has been tested and proven through the use of bright yellow T-shirts. Students were forced to wear these bright shirts to class and were asked how many students they thought would notice them. The subjects thought, on average, about 50% of the class would notice them. In reality, fewer than 20%of the students noticed the shirts. I believe that some activities, such as listening to one’s favorite music at a concert, would be greater pleasure if it was a shared experience. However, according to some studies, people actually had about as much fun doing fun activities alone as they thought they would be accompanied by friends. If enjoying the free time we have depends on finding others to join us, we’ll go from having serious FOMO(Fear of missing out) to absolutely MO as people work more hours and have less free time these days. So if I had another chance to go to Bruce’s concert, even alone, I would surely go. 4. What was the reason for the author’s missing Bruce’s concert? A. A lack of time. B. Having no companion. C. The long travel distance. D. Being unable to get a ticket. 5. What can we know about the author? A. She enjoys socializing with familiar people. B. She suffers from severe social anxiety. C. She prizes family ties over friendships. D. She gets bored with her present job. 6. What does “the spotlight effect” refer to? A. The fear of being judged by others. B. The fact that bright clothes attract more attention. C. The tendency to focus on what’s happening around us. D. The belief that we’re being noticed more than we really are. 7. What does the author aim to do in the last paragraph? A. To express her fondness for Bruce. B To explain the busyness of our daily life. C. To encourage people to do activities alone. D. To stress the close relationship between people. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章讨论了独立自主和独自享受休闲活动的观点，作者认为独自进行有趣的活动同样有趣，而且有时候更应该享受自己的自由时间，而不是因为他人的陪伴而放弃自己的独立自主。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Bruce Springsteen played at MetLife Stadium last weekend in New Jersey, which is about an hour’s drive from my home. I’ve been a huge fan of his music for a long time, but I’ve never seen him at a concert. There were still tickets available, and yet I held back. I didn’t want to go there alone.( Bruce Springsteen上周末在新泽西州的大都会MetLife Stadium演出，那里距离我家大约一个小时的车程。我一直是他的超级歌迷，但我从来没有在音乐会上见过他。虽然还有票，但我还是忍住了不去。我不想一个人去。)”可知，作者不去听Bruce Springsteen的演唱会是因为作者不想一个人去，也就是因为没有同伴。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“I enjoy spending time with small groups of friends and seeing my brother and his family, but I hesitate when leisure time involves large crowds, such as concerts or even movies.(我喜欢和一小群朋友在一起，也喜欢去看哥哥和他的家人，但当我的休闲时间涉及到人群时，比如音乐会或电影，我就会犹豫。)”可知，作者喜欢和自己熟悉的人交往。故选A。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线短语下文“Students were forced to wear these bright shirts to class and were asked how many students they thought would notice them. The subjects thought, on average, about 50%of the class would notice them. In reality, fewer than 20%of the students noticed the shirts.(学生们被迫穿着这些鲜艳的衬衫去上课，并被问及他们认为有多少学生会注意到这些衬衫。研究对象认为，平均而言，班上约有50%的人会注意到他们。实际上，只有不到20%的学生注意到了这些T恤。)”可知，划线短语“the spotlight effect”指的是，有时候我们会以为别人会关注我们，但是并非如此。也就是说，认为自己受到了比实际更多的关注。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“If enjoying the free time we have depends on finding others to join us, we’ll go from having serious FOMO(Fear of missing out)to absolutely MO as people work more hours and have less free time these days. So if I had another chance to go to Bruce’s concert, even alone, I would surely go.(如果享受我们拥有的空闲时间取决于寻找其他人加入我们，那么随着人们工作时间越来越长，空闲时间越来越少，我们将从严重的FOMO(害怕错过)变成绝对的MO（错过）。所以如果我有机会再去看布鲁斯的演唱会，即使只有我一个人，我也一定会去的。)”可知，作者认为如果享受我们拥有的空闲时间取决于寻找其他人加入我们，那么随着人们工作时间越来越长，空闲时间越来越少，我们将从严重的FOMO（害怕错过）变成绝对的MO（错过）。可知，作者在最后一段鼓励人们独自活动。故选C。 C Imagine if it were easy for everyone to get to the seashore, to smell the sea winds and to feel seawater on their skin. Wouldn’t it be great if people with walking difficulty could also get closer to the ocean to enjoy the thrill of a sunset, watching the sun’s rays light up the waves? The good news is that things are moving in the right direction! In a CDC study, around 14% of adults in the US report a mobility disability, defined as serious difficulty walking or climbing stairs. This can make vacation planning a challenge and put some destinations off-limits. But technology companies like Mobi-mat are making a day at the beach for people with limited mobility a reality. Mobi-mat has developed some exciting innovations like non-slip roll-out accessibility mats(垫子). These function like red carpets at movie premieres(首映), taking people with special needs right to the seashore. They are made of a fine nylon material that is designed for people who use wheelchairs or may otherwise need a firmer surface to cross the sand. More cities are working to make enjoyment of the beach much more wide-ranging in other creative ways based on regional conditions. The town of Jupiter in Florida has opened up access to its beaches to people who have trouble going up and down stairs via three new wide wooden walkovers. The Miami Herald recently reported on the upcoming construction of a wheelchair-accessible beachfront observation platform, and upgraded park with adaptive playground and exercise equipment for people with disabilities in Miami Beach. Inspired by creative innovation, forward-looking policymakers and companies, and the shared demands of disabled people who are calling for better access to beautiful beach locations, it seems that many more people of all abilities will be able to head to the beach. 8. What is the good news mentioned in paragraph 1? A. The seashore becomes the hottest destination. B. The ocean environment changes for the better. C. Beaches are more accessible to the disabled. D. Approaching the sea benefits disabled people. 9. What can we learn about the mat from Mobi-mat? A. It offers a firm surface. B. It originates from movies. C. It replaces wheelchairs. D. It functions beneath the sand. 10. What can be inferred about the measures in Jupiter and Miami? A. They’re well behind schedule. B. They center on ocean protection. C. They need to be more creative. D. They’re tailored to local conditions. 11. What is the purpose of this text? A. To introduce a friendly move. B. To recommend a treatment. C. To advertise beautiful beaches. D. To report findings of a study. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了Mobi-mat科技公司开发了一些令人兴奋的创新产品，使得一些行动不便的人们在海滩上度过一天成为现实。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Wouldn’t it be great if people with walking difficulty could also get closer to the ocean to enjoy the thrill of a sunset, watching the sun’s rays light up the waves? The good news is that things are moving in the right direction!(如果步行困难的人们也可以走近大海，欣赏日落的刺激，看着太阳的光芒照亮海浪，那该多好啊？好消息是，事情正朝着正确的方向发展！)”可知，第一段提到的好消息是残疾人士会更容易到达海滩，故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Mobi-mat has developed some exciting innovations like non-slip roll-out accessibility mats(垫子). These function like red carpets at movie premieres(首映), taking people with special needs right to the seashore. They are made of a fine nylon material that is designed for people who use wheelchairs or may otherwise need a firmer surface to cross the sand.(Mobi-mat已经开发了一些令人兴奋的创新产品，如推出防滑无障碍垫。这些功能就像电影首映式上的红地毯，把有特殊需要的人带到海边。它们是由一种优良的尼龙材料制成的，这种材料是为那些使用轮椅或者需要更坚固的表面才能穿过沙子的人们设计的。)”可知，Mobi-mat提供了坚固的表面，故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“More cities are working to make enjoyment of the beach much more wide-ranging in other creative ways based on regional conditions. The town of Jupiter in Florida has opened up access to its beaches to people who have trouble going up and down stairs via three new wide wooden walkovers. Miami Herald recently reported on the upcoming construction of a wheelchair-accessible beachfront observation platform, and upgraded park with adaptive playground and exercise equipment for people with disabilities in Miami Beach.(越来越多的城市正在根据当地条件，以创造性的方式努力使海滩游玩更加广泛。佛罗里达州的朱庇特镇通过三个新的宽阔的木质步行机，向上下楼梯有困难的人们开放了进入其海滩的通道。《迈阿密先驱报》最近报道说，即将在迈阿密海滩建造一个可供轮椅使用的海滨观景平台，并为残疾人提供适应性游乐场和运动设备。)”可推知，在朱庇特和迈阿密采取的措施是根据当地条件而制定的，故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第二段中“But technology companies like Mobi-mat are making a day at the beach for people with limited mobility a reality.(但是像Mobi-mat这样的科技公司正在让行动不便的人们在海滩上度过一天成为现实。)”可知，文章主要讲述了Mobi-mat科技公司开发了一些令人兴奋的创新产品，这使得一些行动不便的人们在海滩上度过一天成为现实。由此可推知，文章的主要目的是介绍一个友好的举动。故选A。 D Do you ever find yourself randomly thinking back to the times we wandered, collecting wildflowers and smiling beneath the sky? That feeling is often referred to as nostalgia (怀旧). Psychologists have defined nostalgia as a self-conscious, social emotion, bittersweet but dominantly positive. It comes from our happy memories and our desire to go back to the past and reconnect with the people we cared about. Often, nostalgia involves sensory stimuli. On some occasions, the smell of autumn leaves might generate a fierce longing for your childhood home. Almost everyone can experience nostalgia, although its object tends to vary throughout life. One survey conducted by the psychologist Krystine Irene Batcho found that younger people felt more nostalgia for pets, toys, and holidays than did older people, who felt it more strongly for music. In contrast to its links to negative emotions, nostalgia doesn’t make us sadder. Rather, nostalgia is a defensive response to unhappiness, one that brings relief from a negative mood. Research from 2006 shows that nostalgia can actually strengthen social ties, improve self-esteem, and uplift our mood. Other studies suggest that it can also enhance our view of life’s meaning, reduce fear of death, boost spirituality, and increase optimism. Scholars remain uncertain about the precise mechanism behind the effectiveness of nostalgia; however, some suggest that reflecting on joyful memories strengthens our sense of self-worth and belonging, particularly during times of loneliness or self-doubt. Its power lets the happiness of the past overcome the current unpleasantness, offering a bit of escape from tough times. To form stronger connections, we can establish traditions around shared past experiences in families, friend groups, and workplaces. Observing special occasions like childhood sports or post-college meetups can give us something to look forward to. Perhaps because it is so powerful and complex, nostalgia has received magical treatment from poets and writers. “The past is hidden somewhere outside the realm (领域), beyond the reach of intellect,” Marcel Proust wrote. 12. Why does the author mention “autumn leaves” in the second paragraph? A. To illustrate the complexity of nostalgia. B To emphasize the joyful nature of nostalgia. C. To clarify nostalgia’s connection to our senses. D. To stress individual variety of experiencing nostalgia. 13. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The mismatch between two findings. B. The potential benefits of nostalgia. C. The impact of nostalgia on personal mood. D. The mechanisms behind nostalgia’s effects. 14. What does the author suggest us do in paragraph 4? A. Create shared traditions for bonding and joy. B. Record the social gatherings regularly. C. Recognize the unnecessary social gatherings. D. Say no to the concept of escapism. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Nostalgia: Why We Should Avoid Reflecting on the Past B. Nostalgia: A Shelter Against the Unhappiness of Our Life C. A Nostalgia Warning: Our Mental Health Being Attacked D. Power of Nostalgia: Struggling for an Irreplaceable Present 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了怀旧的定义、产生原因、影响以及我们应如何利用怀旧来增强社交关系和自我价值感。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Often, nostalgia involves sensory stimuli. On some occasions, the smell of autumn leaves might generate a fierce longing for your childhood home.”（怀旧通常涉及感官刺激。有时候，秋天的树叶的气味可能会引发对你儿时家的强烈思念。）可知，作者提到“秋天的树叶”是为了说明怀旧与我们的感官的联系。故选C。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第三段的内容“In contrast to its links to negative emotions, nostalgia doesn’t make us sadder. Rather, nostalgia is a defensive response to unhappiness, one that brings relief from a negative mood. Research from 2006 shows that nostalgia can actually strengthen social ties, improve self-esteem, and uplift our mood. Other studies suggest that it can also enhance our view of life’s meaning, reduce fear of death, boost spirituality, and increase optimism.”（与它与负面情绪的联系相反，怀旧并不会让我们更悲伤。更确切地说，怀旧是对不快乐的一种防御反应，它能让你从消极情绪中解脱出来。2006年的研究表明，怀旧实际上可以加强社会联系，提高自尊，提升我们的情绪。其他研究表明，它还可以增强我们对生命意义的看法，减少对死亡的恐惧，提升精神，增加乐观情绪。），可以看出这一段主要讲述了怀旧的潜在好处，如增强社交关系、提高自尊、提升我们的心情等。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“To form stronger connections, we can establish traditions around shared past experiences in families, friend groups, and workplaces. Observing special occasions like childhood sports or post-college meetups can give us something to look forward to.”（为了形成更强的联系，我们可以在家庭、朋友圈和工作场所建立围绕共享过去经历的传统。）可推知，作者建议我们创建共享的传统以增强联系和快乐。故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容以及第四段“Scholars remain uncertain about the precise mechanism behind the effectiveness of nostalgia; however, some suggest that reflecting on joyful memories strengthens our sense of self-worth and belonging, particularly during times of loneliness or self-doubt. Its power lets the happiness of the past overcome the current unpleasantness, offering a bit of escape from tough times.”（学者们仍然不确定怀旧效应背后的确切机制；然而，一些人认为，回忆快乐的记忆可以增强我们的自我价值感和归属感，尤其是在孤独或自我怀疑的时候。它的力量可以让过去的快乐克服当前的不愉快，为艰难时期提供一点逃避。），文章主要讲述了怀旧的定义、产生原因、影响以及我们应如何利用怀旧来增强社交关系和自我价值感，因此B选项“怀旧：我们生活中的避难所”最能概括全文内容。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。 For college-bound students, leaving home and moving into a new environment can be a stressful experience.

However, I was growing increasingly concerned about a new problem: plastic waste. I often noticed my students casually throwing away plastic bottles and wrapper around the school grounds. It pained me to see the beautiful campus littered, and I knew that lecturing them about environmental responsibility wasn’t enough. They needed to see and feel the impact firsthand. One Friday afternoon, after witnessing another pile of plastic waste near the playground, I decided to take action. I called a meeting with my class and shared my concerns. “This Saturday,” I announced, “we’re going on a field trip, but it won’t be to the usual places. We’re going to spend a day collecting rubbish in the city. " The students’ reactions were mixed. Complaints erupted immediately. “Why do we have to pick up rubbish? Isn’t this someone else’s job?” Sofia shouted. Emily added, “It’s going to be so hot this weekend! Do we really have to?” I took a deep breath and tried to inspire them. “Think about it,” I said, “each bottle or wrapper you pick up can be recycled into something useful. Moreover, we’re helping to keep our city clean. It’s a good way to show respect for our community and our planet, isn’t it?” I saw a few doubtful faces, but also some nods. Sofia hesitated before saying, “Well, I guess it does sound important.” On Saturday morning the students gathered at the school, equipped with gloves and rubbish bags. There were still some complaints about the heat and the task ahead as we boarded the bus. The city center, usually active, awaited us with its unfortunate blanket of litter. Upon arrival, I split them into small groups and assigned each a section of the streets to clean. The students looked around, their faces tightening into frowns as they saw rubbish scattered in every direction. “This is a lot more than I thought,” Emily sighed, looking at the piles of rubbish. 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。 I called on my students to start working. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ By the end of the day, the students were tired but proud of their efforts. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文: I called on my students to start working. “Come on, everybody! We can do this. Let’s show others what we are capable of. Imagine the difference we can make together!” I encouraged them. Reluctantly, they began to move, picking up cans, bottles, and wrappers. But gradually, they started working together, sharing stories, and even laughing at the occasional odd items they found. Despite the hard work and the hot sun, the students found joy in seeing the streets transform in front of their eyes. “Hey, we’re actually making a difference,” Emily remarked, her bag now half-full. “This place looks better already.” By the end of the day, the students were tired but proud of their efforts. They had collected a significant amount of rubbish, and the streets looked noticeably cleaner. On the bus ride back, the students discussed ways to keep the school grounds clean and even proposed setting up recycling bins around the campus. Clearly this experience had a great impact on them. The once-reluctant students were now advocates for environmental responsibility, demonstrating their newfound respect for the community and the planet. This day of hard work had turned into a meaningful lesson they would carry with them for years to come. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者为了教育学生关于环保责任而组织的一次捡垃圾活动的经历，展现了学生们的转变和对环保的认识加深。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我呼吁学生们开始工作。”以及第二段首句内容“到一天结束时，学生们虽然疲惫，但对自己的努力感到自豪。”可知，第一段可描写同学们开始一起工作，虽然辛苦却也开心。 ②由第二段首句内容“到一天结束时，学生们虽然疲惫，但对自己的努力感到自豪。”可知，第二段可描写学生们对这一天的经历充满了感触。 2.续写线索：作者呼吁学生们开始工作——作者鼓励着不太情愿的学生们——虽然抱怨，学生们还是开始动手工作——慢慢地，学生们开始找到乐趣——一天结束的时候，学生们虽然疲倦，但是内心却充满了自豪感——他们收集了大量的垃圾，感觉街道也干净了不少——回校的巴士上，学生们开始讨论如何保持校园清洁——这一次的经历对学生们产生了很大的影响 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①开始：start/begin ②评论：remark/comment ③建议：propose/suggest 情绪类 ①不情愿地：reluctantly/with reluctance ②开心：joy/delight 【点睛】【高分句型1】Let’s show others what we are capable of.（运用了what引导的宾语从句） 【高分句型2】This day of hard work had turned into a meaningful lesson they would carry with them for years to come.（运用了省略关系代词which/that的定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024-2025学年度第二学期期中学科素养测评 高中二年级英语试卷(笔试部分) 满分：130分 考试时间：120分钟 注意事项： 1.答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号等填写在答题卡上。 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 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Hope to have a cultural trip? Why not try these biggest and best exhibitions around the world? Acts of Creation The pains and joys of motherhood are not always described with as much care and detail as in this exhibition. With over 100 artworks by over 60 artists three themes of motherhood — creation, maintenance and loss — will be explored through paintings, photographs, sculptures, sound and films. Time: Until November 12 Location: Midlands Arts Centre, Bristol From the Other Side An exhibition on horror? It might not sound a good one for those who are not brave. However, you needn’t worry: this collection is far different from scary paintings. Instead, these artworks of 19 Australian artists aim to raise questions about horror in the women’s views. Time: Until December 23 Location: ACCA, Melbourne Modes and Characters This museum exhibition is taking a look at the history of modern graphic design and explores how computer-based publishing technology has changed the world of design. Special focus is given to the work of Japanese designers and Japan’s different graphic culture, with individual exhibits ranging from magazine covers to the posters seen on trains.

It ranges from fashion and photography to video and sculpture. Highlights include a large-scale installation from Lauren Halsey, the work of artist Hank Thomas, and photographs from Deana Lawson. Time: November 5 Location: Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto 1. Where do the artists for the exhibition on horror come from? A. England. B. Australia. C. Japan. D. Canada. 2.

B Bruce Springsteen played at MetLife Stadium last weekend in New Jersey, which is about an hour’s drive from my home. I’ve been a huge fan of his music for a long time, but I’ve never seen him at a concert. There were still tickets available, and yet I held back. I didn’t want to go there alone. I’m an independent woman who has lived alone since graduating from college. I love living alone and I need lots of solo (单独的) time to recharge my batteries from a demanding job. I enjoy spending time with small groups of friends and seeing my brother and his family, but I hesitate when leisure time involves large crowds, such as concerts or even movies. I don’t have social anxiety, so I often wonder why I hesitate when it comes to going somewhere alone. A previous study stated that people hesitate about doing things by themselves because they’re afraid of how they’ll be perceived. The good news is that no one is going to notice that. The reason is “the spotlight effect” which has been tested and proven through the use of bright yellow T-shirts. Students were forced to wear these bright shirts to class and were asked how many students they thought would notice them. The subjects thought, on average, about 50% of the class would notice them. In reality, fewer than 20%of the students noticed the shirts. I believe that some activities, such as listening to one’s favorite music at a concert, would be greater pleasure if it was a shared experience. However, according to some studies, people actually had about as much fun doing fun activities alone as they thought they would be accompanied by friends. If enjoying the free time we have depends on finding others to join us, we’ll go from having serious FOMO(Fear of missing out) to absolutely MO as people work more hours and have less free time these days. So if I had another chance to go to Bruce’s concert, even alone, I would surely go. 4. What was the reason for the author’s missing Bruce’s concert? A. A lack of time. B. Having no companion. C. The long travel distance. D. Being unable to get a ticket. 5. What can we know about the author? A. She enjoys socializing with familiar people. B. She suffers from severe social anxiety. C. She prizes family ties over friendships. D. She gets bored with her present job. 6. What does “the spotlight effect” refer to? A. The fear of being judged by others. B. The fact that bright clothes attract more attention. C. The tendency to focus on what’s happening around us. D. The belief that we’re being noticed more than we really are. 7. What does the author aim to do in the last paragraph? A. To express her fondness for Bruce. B. To explain the busyness of our daily life. C. To encourage people to do activities alone. D. To stress the close relationship between people. C Imagine if it were easy for everyone to get to the seashore, to smell the sea winds and to feel seawater on their skin. Wouldn’t it be great if people with walking difficulty could also get closer to the ocean to enjoy the thrill of a sunset, watching the sun’s rays light up the waves? The good news is that things are moving in the right direction! In a CDC study, around 14% of adults in the US report a mobility disability, defined as serious difficulty walking or climbing stairs. This can make vacation planning a challenge and put some destinations off-limits. But technology companies like Mobi-mat are making a day at the beach for people with limited mobility a reality. Mobi-mat has developed some exciting innovations like non-slip roll-out accessibility mats(垫子). These function like red carpets at movie premieres(首映), taking people with special needs right to the seashore. They are made of a fine nylon material that is designed for people who use wheelchairs or may otherwise need a firmer surface to cross the sand. More cities are working to make enjoyment of the beach much more wide-ranging in other creative ways based on regional conditions. The town of Jupiter in Florida has opened up access to its beaches to people who have trouble going up and down stairs via three new wide wooden walkovers. The Miami Herald recently reported on the upcoming construction of a wheelchair-accessible beachfront observation platform, and upgraded park with adaptive playground and exercise equipment for people with disabilities in Miami Beach. Inspired by creative innovation, forward-looking policymakers and companies, and the shared demands of disabled people who are calling for better access to beautiful beach locations, it seems that many more people of all abilities will be able to head to the beach. 8. What is the good news mentioned in paragraph 1? A. The seashore becomes the hottest destination. B. The ocean environment changes for the better. C Beaches are more accessible to the disabled. D. Approaching the sea benefits disabled people. 9. What can we learn about the mat from Mobi-mat? A. It offers a firm surface. B. It originates from movies. C. It replaces wheelchairs. D. It functions beneath the sand. 10. What can be inferred about the measures in Jupiter and Miami? A. They’re well behind schedule. B. They center on ocean protection. C. They need to be more creative. D. They’re tailored to local conditions. 11. What is the purpose of this text? A. To introduce a friendly move. B. To recommend a treatment. C. To advertise beautiful beaches. D. To report findings of a study. D Do you ever find yourself randomly thinking back to the times we wandered, collecting wildflowers and smiling beneath the sky? That feeling is often referred to as nostalgia (怀旧). Psychologists have defined nostalgia as a self-conscious, social emotion, bittersweet but dominantly positive. It comes from our happy memories and our desire to go back to the past and reconnect with the people we cared about. Often, nostalgia involves sensory stimuli. On some occasions, the smell of autumn leaves might generate a fierce longing for your childhood home. Almost everyone can experience nostalgia, although its object tends to vary throughout life. One survey conducted by the psychologist Krystine Irene Batcho found that younger people felt more nostalgia for pets, toys, and holidays than did older people, who felt it more strongly for music. In contrast to its links to negative emotions, nostalgia doesn’t make us sadder. Rather, nostalgia is a defensive response to unhappiness, one that brings relief from a negative mood. Research from 2006 shows that nostalgia can actually strengthen social ties, improve self-esteem, and uplift our mood. Other studies suggest that it can also enhance our view of life’s meaning, reduce fear of death, boost spirituality, and increase optimism. Scholars remain uncertain about the precise mechanism behind the effectiveness of nostalgia; however, some suggest that reflecting on joyful memories strengthens our sense of self-worth and belonging, particularly during times of loneliness or self-doubt. Its power lets the happiness of the past overcome the current unpleasantness, offering a bit of escape from tough times. To form stronger connections, we can establish traditions around shared past experiences in families, friend groups, and workplaces. Observing special occasions like childhood sports or post-college meetups can give us something to look forward to. Perhaps because it is so powerful and complex, nostalgia has received magical treatment from poets and writers. “The past is hidden somewhere outside the realm (领域), beyond the reach of intellect,” Marcel Proust wrote. 12.

However, I was growing increasingly concerned about a new problem: plastic waste. I often noticed my students casually throwing away plastic bottles and wrapper around the school grounds. It pained me to see the beautiful campus littered, and I knew that lecturing them about environmental responsibility wasn’t enough. They needed to see and feel the impact firsthand. One Friday afternoon, after witnessing another pile of plastic waste near the playground, I decided to take action. I called a meeting with my class and shared my concerns. “This Saturday,” I announced, “we’re going on a field trip, but it won’t be to the usual places. We’re going to spend a day collecting rubbish in the city. " The students’ reactions were mixed. Complaints erupted immediately. “Why do we have to pick up rubbish? Isn’t this someone else’s job?” Sofia shouted. Emily added, “It’s going to be so hot this weekend! Do we really have to?” I took a deep breath and tried to inspire them. “Think about it,” I said, “each bottle or wrapper you pick up can be recycled into something useful. Moreover, we’re helping to keep our city clean. It’s a good way to show respect for our community and our planet, isn’t it?” I saw a few doubtful faces, but also some nods. Sofia hesitated before saying, “Well, I guess it does sound important.” On Saturday morning, the students gathered at the school, equipped with gloves and rubbish bags. There were still some complaints about the heat and the task ahead as we boarded the bus. The city center, usually active, awaited us with its unfortunate blanket of litter. Upon arrival, I split them into small groups and assigned each a section of the streets to clean. The students looked around, their faces tightening into frowns as they saw rubbish scattered in every direction. “This is a lot more than I thought,” Emily sighed, looking at the piles of rubbish. 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。 I called on my students to start working. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ By the end of the day, the students were tired but proud of their efforts. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
