A The Old Man and the Sea, written by Ernest Hemingway, is a timeless novella about an aging Cuban fisherman named Santiago. For eighty-four consecutive days, Santiago struggles without catching a single fish, becoming a symbol of bad luck in his small coastal village. His young apprentice, Manolin, admires Santiago deeply but is forced by his parents to leave the old man’s boat and join a more successful fisherman. Despite his loneliness and the villagers’ pity, Santiago remains determined. On the eighty-fifth day, he ventures far into the Gulf Stream, where he hooks a massive marlin — a fish larger than his own boat. The marlin drags Santiago’s boat for two days and nights. The old man, weakened by hunger and exhaustion, battles the fish with every ounce of strength, refusing to surrender. “Pain does not matter to a man,” he whispers, embodying his code of resilience. When he finally kills the marlin, he ties it to the side of his boat, only to face a new threat: sharks attracted by the marlin’s blood. Santiago fights fiercely with makeshift weapons — harpoons, oars, and even a knife — but the sharks strip the marlin to its skeleton. Returning to shore, Santiago collapses in his hut. Though he brings back nothing but bones, the village marvels at the skeleton’s size, and Manolin weeps at the old man’s injuries.

If you have an opinion and you just state it, it allows the other person to either try to change your opinion or to agree with you. If you are quiet, people think you agree. How can you then further the conversation when you have different opinions and they are not really exposed? Agreeing is easy. Disagreeing takes more courage. Several years back when I was CEO at Autodesk, there was a very senior level woman who was very smart and well-spoken, but she did not wear appropriate clothes. It was distracting and she was not being taken seriously. I said to her manager, who was male, you need to tell her. He said, oh, no way. So I called her in and frankly stated what I thought was happening. I told her, you’re not getting the respect you deserve, I said. Go and get a personal shopper. Just say, I’m a senior business person and need help dressing appropriately. She came back and honest to God, it was a different person. She said she felt really good and her promotion went way up. Early in my business career, if people asked me a question, I’d try to answer it honestly, and that was rewarded. I had managers who wanted me around because I would actually tell them what was happening. Question: Why do the speaker have a talk with a senior level woman?

C 【解析】 【原文】 W: Agricultural experts say crop variety is important to feed the increasing population of our planet. They say having a large variety of plants also helps to protect against possible crop diseases and future crises. Hundreds of thousands of different plants now exist. But many experts say the number has decreased sharply during the past century. One of the world’s largest seed conservation projects has predicted further losses. Experts warn that up to 100,000 plant species could permanently disappear. The rich collection of genes that decide their qualities would disappear with them. Many experts blame climate change and loss of normal growth area for damaging plant life. They say human activities and poorly planned, overly heavy use of land also are responsible. The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization says modern business farming is responsible for loss of farmers’ traditional crop varieties. The green revolution of the 20th century changed agriculture. Some experts say the use of modern commercial farming methods saved millions of people from starvation. Farmers planted, watered and fertilized their crops with the help of machines. They treated their fields with chemicals to control insects and diseases. Harvests grew larger and higher quality. But another result was that some traditional crops were lost. A not-for-profit group based in USA was established in 1975 to save and share high quality seeds. It also works to educate people about the need for genetic variety. Questions: 1.Why is crop variety important? 2.Which of the following is not the cause of the damage to plant life? 3.Besides saving seeds, what action is being taken to prevent the loss of crop variety? 听下面一段较长对话，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 17 A.

A T-shirt seems like a simple and ordinary item of clothing, but behind it lies a complex and eye-opening story when it comes ____19____ environmental protection. Let’s start from the very beginning. The cotton ____20____ (use) to make the T-shirt is grown in large fields. Farmers often rely on a large number of chemical fertilizers and pesticides to ensure high yields.

After the cotton is harvested, it ____22____ (send)to a textile factory. In the factory, a lot of water is consumed in the processes of washing, spinning, and dyeing. The wastewater is often full of harmful substances in the dyeing process. ____23____ not properly treated, this wastewater will flow into rivers and lakes, causing water pollution. Once the T-shirt is made, it is shipped to various parts of the world. The transportation process ____24____ (influence) significantly the environment since then.

If it is simply thrown away and ends up in a landfill, it will take a long time to decompose. However, if we choose to donate it or recycle it, it can be given a new life, reducing the need for new T-shirts ____27____ (produce) and conserving resources. In conclusion, the story of a T-shirt shows us that every step in the life cycle of a product has an impact on the environment. As consumers, we should be more aware of these issues and make more environmentally-friendly choice.

Pale or fair skin was once ____32____ regarded in Western history, as it was a sign of wealth and nobility, indicating that one did not have to work outdoors in the sun.

F 36. B 37. G 38. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章围绕不同文化中独特的审美观念展开，对比了西方文化和非洲文化里对身体美的不同认知，表明理想美是文化价值与传统的体现。 【29题详解】 考查名词。句意：美是一个在历史长河中、在不同文化里被不断诠释和重新定义的概念。根据后文“has been interpreted and redefined throughout history and across various cultures”可知，这里描述的是“美”这一事物在不同时间和文化背景下的定义变化，所以“美”是一个抽象的“概念”。“concept”意为“概念”，符合语境。故选项K。 【30题详解】 考查动词的过去分词。句意：在西方文化中，尤其是在现代，苗条的身材常常被视为女性的美。结合西方现代文化的特点，“slim figure”和“beauty for women”之间存在一种认知上的关联，“be perceived as”是固定表达，意思是“被视为”，能准确表达出西方文化中人们对女性身材美的普遍认知。故选项D。 【31题详解】 考查动词的过去分词。句意：这种理想可以追溯到时尚和媒体的影响。由“the influence of fashion and media”可知，这里要说明以苗条为美的审美观念和时尚、媒体影响之间存在时间上的溯源关系。“be tracked back to”是固定短语，用于表示事物的起源，恰好能体现出这种审美理想的源头。故选项I。 【32题详解】 考查副词。句意：在西方历史上，白皙的皮肤曾被高度重视，因为它是财富和贵族的象征，表明一个人不必在户外阳光下劳作。根据“as it was a sign of wealth and nobility, indicating that one did not have to work outdoors in the sun”可知，在西方历史特定背景下，白皙皮肤代表着财富和贵族身份，所以受到很高程度的重视。“highly”作为副词，修饰“regarded”，表示重视的程度高。故选项C。 【33题详解】 考查名词。句意：然而，近几十年来，古铜色皮肤变得越来越受欢迎，被视为健康和积极户外生活方式的象征。“tanned skin has become increasingly popular”以及“health and an active outdoor lifestyle”表明，在当下西方文化中，古铜色皮肤和健康、积极户外生活方式之间有了一种象征联系。“a symbol of”表示“……的象征”，符合这种文化认知。故选项H。 【34题详解】 考查形容词。句意：相比之下，许多非洲文化有各种各样的身体美理想。通过“in contrast”可知，这里是将非洲文化和前文提到的西方文化进行对比，西方文化有特定的审美标准，而非洲文化的审美应该具有多样性。“various”意为“各种各样的”，能体现出非洲文化审美理想的丰富性。故选项E。 【35题详解】 考查名词。句意：这是因为它象征着繁荣和优雅。根据“a fuller body size is considered attractive for women”和“it signifies prosperity”，结合非洲一些部落的文化背景，丰满身材除了象征繁荣，还应和一种美好的特质相关。“elegance”表示“优雅”，在这种文化中丰满身材能体现出繁荣与优雅的特质。故选项F。 【36题详解】 考查动词。句意：例如，在尼日利亚和塞内加尔的部分地区，女性可能会经历特殊的仪式，食用某些食物来增加体重，为婚姻做准备，因为丰满的身材被视为妻子的理想特质。从“special rituals and consume certain foods to gain weight in preparation for marriage”可知，女性为了达到丰满身材以符合婚姻中的审美标准，会去做一些事情。“experience”有“经历”之意，“experience special rituals”即经历特殊仪式，符合女性为婚姻做准备的行为逻辑。故选项B。 【37题详解】 考查名词。句意：纹身、割礼以及佩戴精致的珠宝和头饰都是增强个人美感和表达个人文化身份的方式。“unique physical markings and adornments”、“enhance one’s beauty”以及“cultural”等信息表明，非洲文化中这些独特的装饰和标记与文化相关，是用来表达个人与文化之间联系的。“cultural identity”表示“文化身份”，人们通过这些方式来彰显自己所属的文化。故选项G。 【38题详解】 考查动词。句意：这些例子说明了理想身体美的概念并非普遍适用，而是每个文化的价值观和传统的反映。前文分别列举了西方和非洲文化中不同的审美例子，最后得出“the concept of ideal physical beauty is not universal but rather a reflection of the values and traditions of each culture”这一结论，说明这些例子是用来支撑这个观点的。“illustrate”意为“说明，阐明”，能准确表达出例子和结论之间的关系。故选项A。 III.

Each passage is followed by several questions. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. A The Old Man and the Sea, written by Ernest Hemingway, is a timeless novella about an aging Cuban fisherman named Santiago. For eighty-four consecutive days, Santiago struggles without catching a single fish, becoming a symbol of bad luck in his small coastal village. His young apprentice, Manolin, admires Santiago deeply but is forced by his parents to leave the old man’s boat and join a more successful fisherman. Despite his loneliness and the villagers’ pity, Santiago remains determined. On the eighty-fifth day, he ventures far into the Gulf Stream, where he hooks a massive marlin — a fish larger than his own boat. The marlin drags Santiago’s boat for two days and nights. The old man, weakened by hunger and exhaustion, battles the fish with every ounce of strength, refusing to surrender. “Pain does not matter to a man,” he whispers, embodying his code of resilience. When he finally kills the marlin, he ties it to the side of his boat, only to face a new threat: sharks attracted by the marlin’s blood. Santiago fights fiercely with makeshift weapons — harpoons, oars, and even a knife — but the sharks strip the marlin to its skeleton. Returning to shore, Santiago collapses in his hut. Though he brings back nothing but bones, the village marvels at the skeleton’s size, and Manolin weeps at the old man’s injuries. Hemingway’s story is a celebration of human endurance: Santiago proves that defeat in action can coexist with victory in spirit. 49. What is the main conflict in the story? A. Santiago’s battle with the marlin and sharks. B. Santiago’s struggle against poverty. C. Manolin’s conflict with his parents. D. The villagers’ distrust of Santiago. 50. Why does Manolin leave Santiago? A. He wants to learn from a richer fisherman. B. His parents force him to leave. C. He loses faith in Santiago’s luck. D. Santiago asks him to go. 51. What does the marlin symbolize in the story? A. Unpredictable nature. B. The failure of effort. C. A test of Santiago’s determination. D. The village’s scorn. 52. What theme does Hemingway emphasize in The Old Man and the Sea? A. The importance of wealth. B. The loneliness of old age. C. The danger of the ocean. D. The power of perseverance. 【答案】49. A 50. B 51. C 52. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了古巴老渔夫圣地亚哥连续八十四天没捕到鱼，第八十五天钓到一条大马林鱼，与鱼搏斗后又遭鲨鱼袭击，最终带回鱼骨的故事，展现了人类的坚韧。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The marlin drags Santiago’s boat for two days and nights. The old man, weakened by hunger and exhaustion, battles the fish with every ounce of strength, refusing to surrender. “Pain does not matter to a man,” he whispers, embodying his code of resilience. When he finally kills the marlin, he ties it to the side of his boat, only to face a new threat: sharks attracted by the marlin’s blood. Santiago fights fiercely with makeshift weapons — harpoons, oars, and even a knife — but the sharks strip the marlin to its skeleton.(马林鱼拖着圣地亚哥的船走了两天两夜。老人因饥饿和疲惫而虚弱，用尽全身力气与鱼搏斗，拒绝投降。“痛苦对男人来说并不重要，”他低声说，体现了他的韧性准则。当他最终杀死马林鱼时，他把它绑在船舷上，却遇到了新的威胁：被马林鱼的血吸引来的鲨鱼。圣地亚哥用临时的武器——鱼叉、桨，甚至一把刀——激烈地搏斗，但鲨鱼把马林鱼剥得只剩骨架)”可知，故事的主要冲突是圣地亚哥与马林鱼和鲨鱼的战斗。故选A项。 【50题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“His young apprentice, Manolin, admires Santiago deeply but is forced by his parents to leave the old man’s boat and join a more successful fisherman.(他年轻的徒弟马诺林非常钦佩圣地亚哥，但他的父母强迫他离开老人的船，去跟随一个更成功的渔夫)”可知，马诺林离开圣地亚哥是因为他的父母强迫他离开。故选B项。 【51题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“On the eighty-fifth day, he ventures far into the Gulf Stream, where he hooks a massive marlin — a fish larger than his own boat.(在第八十五天，他冒险驶入墨西哥湾流深处，在那里他钓到了一条巨大的马林鱼——一条比他的船还大的鱼)”和第二段中“The marlin drags Santiago’s boat for two days and nights. The old man, weakened by hunger and exhaustion, battles the fish with every ounce of strength, refusing to surrender.(马林鱼拖着圣地亚哥的船两天两夜。老人因饥饿和疲惫而虚弱不堪，但他用尽每一丝力气与鱼搏斗，拒绝投降)”可知，马林鱼考验了圣地亚哥的决心，所以它象征着对圣地亚哥决心的考验。故选C项。 【52题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第三段中“Hemingway’s story is a celebration of human endurance: Santiago proves that defeat in action can coexist with victory in spirit.(海明威的故事是对人类耐力的颂扬：圣地亚哥证明了行动上的失败可以与精神上的胜利并存)”以及文中圣地亚哥与马林鱼和鲨鱼搏斗的整个过程可知，海明威在《老人与海》中强调的主题是毅力的力量。故选D项。 B David Attenborough David Attenborough was born in 1926 and grew up near the grounds of the University of Leicester, where his father was the principal.

V. Guided Writing(15%) 65. Directions: Write an English composition in 100-120 words according to the instructions given below in Chinese. 当前人们的旅游方式多种多样，有人选择团队游（Package tour），有人则喜欢自助游（Self-organized tour）。请参考下面表格中的提示，介绍你喜欢的旅游方式，并说明你的理由。 团队游 自助游 1 花销少，有导游服务 1. 自由随意 2. 易结交朋友 2. 可调整行程 3. 不够自由 3. 需自理食宿 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Nowadays, there’s a growing trend that people make use of their holidays to travel. When it comes to travel styles, some people choose a package tour because of its low price, guidance service and the chance of making friends. As far as I am concerned, considering the happiness of freedom, I prefer a self-organized tour. Living up to its name, a self-organized tour involves organization by yourself. You can get to know about the target city in advance and then choose your favorite tourist attractions, as well as activities you are interested in. As a result, a schedule that suits you most can be worked out, so you can travel later as freely as you like. The reasons why I like this kind of travelling are various. Freedom is just one of them. As an old saying goes, “One’s meat is another’s poison’’, a self-organized tour provides you with a chance to experience what you are most interested in. Moreover, the flexible schedule is also attractive. You can choose freely between play and relaxation and even change your timetable whenever you like during the travel. Last but not least, although a self-organized tour involves trouble of booking a hotel and a restaurant, I regard it as a golden opportunity for us to improve our ability to manage our lives. What’s worth mentioning is that we can also spend time in volunteering and helping the local poor children if we take a self-organized tour. All in all, a self-organized tour is my favorite, and I hope more people will enjoy their travel as well as help others in this way of travel. 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇开放性作文。要求考生参考表格中的提示，介绍喜欢的旅游方式，并说明理由 【详解】1.词汇积累： 选择：choose→select 灵活的：flexible→elastic 机会：chance→opportunity 此外：moreover→furthermore 2.句式拓展： 原句：You can get to know about the target city in advance and then choose your favorite tourist attractions, as well as activities you are interested in. 拓展句：Not only can you get to know about the destination city in advance, but you can also choose your favorite tourist attractions and activities that appeal to you. 【点睛】【高分句型 1】As a result, a schedule that suits you most can be worked out, so you can travel later as freely as you like.（运用了that引导的定语从句） 【高分句型 2】The reasons why I like this kind of travelling are various.（运用 why 引导的定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
