(这个为期两周的项目通过历史回顾、当前艺术与科学合作的调查和科幻电影放映，为学生在开始本科教育之前做好跨学科思考的准备)”可知，这个为期两周的项目旨在让学生在本科教育开始前具备跨学科思维能力。故选C项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Application requirements”部分中“A 500-word essay explaining their interest in a UCLA Precollege Summer Institute, responding to one of the following topics: (一篇500字的文章，解释他们对加州大学洛杉矶分校大学预科暑期学院的兴趣，回答以下主题之一)”可知，申请这个项目必须具备一篇表达加入热情的文章。故选D项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据 Residential program fees 中的内容可知，住宿生的项目费用与走读生的项目费用不同，其他费用则与表中一致，由此可知，对于即将入学的 UC 学生，需要缴纳的费用包括 Program Fee :$3,369, Registration Fee :$175, IEI Fee :$61 总计为$3,605，故B项正确。费用中的 IEI 是Instructional Enhancement Initiative （教学强化计划）的缩写，这是一项课程材料费用。故选B项。 B I discovered beauty content on YouTube in 2014 and shopping quickly became my hobby. I went from owning a single makeup bag to more than 200 lipsticks(口红) within a year. In November 2019, I hit rock bottom after spending $3,000 over Black Friday, feeling ashamed of myself. I knew I had a problem. That December, I clicked on a no-buy video on YouTube, where creators shared their experiences and tips. A year without shopping felt impossible-but the more I watched, the more I wondered: if I didn’t want to stop, was that a sign I should? On January 1, 2020, I started a year-long no-buy challenge with three rules: spend only on essentials like food and bills; replace beauty or fashion items only when they run out; and wait five days before buying any replacement. The first few weeks felt manageable-I was motivated to change. But soon my wants and needs blurred (变得模糊不清). For example, I would run out of a skincare item and convince myself I needed a new one, despite having plenty of others. For the rest of the year, I tried to justify purchases that fit in the grey area between my wants and my needs. My work wasn’t over when my no-buy year ended. I set a goal to develop a healthy relationship with money when I finally realized that I shopped to deal with stress. I started to explore healthier strategies like journaling, walking, and reading to manage tough emotions. I simplified my skincare routine, focused on essential products, and shifted from collecting to using. In 2023, I spent only $200 on makeup, which was a major improvement compared to my previous $1,000 annual spending. No-buy challenges are now a regular part of my life. Today, I’ve built savings and set financial goals. I still like shopping, but I do it more responsibly. 4. Why did the author begin a no-buy challenge in 2020? A. To follow a trend online. B. To test a new budgeting app. C. To save money for a big purchase. D. To break an unhealthy shopping habit. 5. What was one of the author’s rules for her no-buy journey? A. Replace items before they run out. B. Find products in secondhand stores. C. Delay replacement purchases by five days. D. Keep monthly expenses within a set budget. 6. Which best describes the author’s first-year no-buy experience? A. Overly restrictive. B. Partially effective. C. Fully transformative. D. Completely unsuccessful. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. Shopping Less, Living More. B. Learning More, Stressing Less. C. Exploring Nature, Finding Peace. D. Practicing Kindness, Spreading Joy. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者从2014 年沉迷购物，到2019年意识到自己购物成瘾，于2020年开始为期一年的不买挑战，并在挑战过程中及结束后努力改变，最终与金钱建立健康关系，养成更负责任购物习惯的经历。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“In November 2019, I hit rock bottom after spending $3,000 over Black Friday, feeling ashamed of myself. I knew I had a problem.(2019 年 11 月，在黑色星期五花费3000美元后，我陷入了低谷，为自己感到羞愧。我知道我有问题)” 以及第二段“if I didn’t want to stop, was that a sign I should?(如果我不想停止购物，这是不是意味着我应该停止呢)” 可知，作者开始不买挑战是为了改掉不健康的购物习惯。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“On January 1, 2020, I started a year - long no - buy challenge with three rules: spend only on essentials like food and bills; replace beauty or fashion items only when they run out; and wait five days before buying any replacement.(2020年1月1日，我开始了为期一年的不买挑战，有三条规则：只在食物和账单等必需品上花钱；只有在美容或时尚物品用完时才更换；在购买任何替代品前等待五天)” 可知，作者不买挑战的规则之一是将替换购买推迟五天。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“The first few weeks felt manageable-I was motivated to change. But soon my wants and needs blurred... For the rest of the year, I tried to justify purchases that fit in the grey area between my wants and my needs.(最初几周感觉还能应付——我有动力去改变。但很快我的欲望和需求就变得模糊不清…… 在这一年剩下的时间里，我试图为那些介于我的欲望和需求之间灰色地带的购买行为找理由)” 可知，作者在第一年的不买挑战中，虽然一开始有改变的动力，但后来还是会为一些不必要的购买找理由，说明这个挑战只是部分有效。故选B。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可推知，文章主要讲述了作者从2014年沉迷购物，到2019年意识到自己购物成瘾，于2020年开始为期一年的不买挑战，并在挑战过程中及结束后努力改变，最终与金钱建立健康关系，养成更负责任购物习惯的经历。所以短文的最佳标题为“少购物，多生活”。故选A。 C This year, we set out to revisit the connection with poetry in all its forms to explore the important role poetry can play in the lives of children and young people. A total of 4,372 students aged from 8 to 16 in England participated in our online survey in 2024. The main focuses were emotional and behavioural aspects of reading, watching, listening to, writing, and performing poetry-including through print, performance, and social media. The survey also explored how poetry might support mental well-being or help express concerns about social issues. Almost half the students (48.8%) said they engaged with poetry during their free time — a slight increase from 46.1% in 2018. Students participated in poetry in various ways: about a quarter (24.1%) read, listened to, or watched it; 13.0% wrote or performed poetry; and 11.7% both experienced and created poetry. Among students who experienced poetry through media, reading was the most popular activity, with 71.3% choosing to read poems. In comparison, 37.3% listened to poetry, and 22.1% watched performances. Many students said they turned to poetry for self-improvement, introspection (内省) and social issue exploration. Among students who created poetry, writing was more common than performing. About 74.2% wrote poetry, while 41.9% performed it. Their motivations included a desire to feel creative (54.6%), express ideas (49.6%), share thoughts and feelings (49.2%), and improve their mood (47.3%). Despite these positive experiences, 51.2% of students reported not engaging with poetry at all. When asked why, the most common answers were that poetry felt boring or not relevant to their interests. This report highlights poetry’s value in encouraging creativity, supporting mental well-being, and promoting self-expression. It can play a vital role in literacy (读写能力) education, especially for disadvantaged students, by offering them a voice and a chance to connect with language in a personal way. Greater investment in poetry-based teaching could harness its power in a rapidly changing world. 8. What was the focus of the 2024 poetry survey? A. The role of poetry in academic success. B. The popularity of poetry on social media. C. Students’ feelings and responses to poetry. D. Students’ preferences for different literary forms. 9. What can be inferred about students who experienced poetry through media? A. They preferred visual content over text. B. They engaged in it for school assignments. C. They lacked the skills to write or perform poetry. D. They valued poetry for growth and social insight. 10. What was the biggest reason students chose to create poetry? A. To feel happier. B. To express ideas. C. To fuel creativity. D. To share emotions. 11. Which can replace the underlined words “harness its power” in the last paragraph? A. Boost its popularity. B. Unlock its potential. C. Control its influence. D. Ignore its limitations. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了2024年一项关于诗歌的在线调查，该调查探讨了诗歌在儿童和年轻人生活中的重要作用，以及学生对诗歌的感受和反应。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The main focuses were emotional and behavioural aspects of reading, watching, listening to, writing, and performing poetry-including through print, performance, and social media. The survey also explored how poetry might support mental well-being or help express concerns about social issues. (主要关注的是阅读、观看、聆听、写作和表演诗歌（包括通过印刷品、表演和社交媒体）的情感和行为方面。调查还探讨了诗歌如何支持心理健康或帮助表达对社会问题的关注。)”可知，2024年诗歌调查的重点是学生对诗歌的感受和反应。故选C项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Many students said they turned to poetry for self-improvement, introspection (内省) and social issue exploration. (许多学生表示，他们求助于诗歌是为了自我提升、内省和探索社会问题。)”可推知，通过媒体接触诗歌的学生重视诗歌对成长和社会洞察力的价值。故选D项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Their motivations included a desire to feel creative (54.6%), express ideas (49.6%), share thoughts and feelings (49.2%), and improve their mood (47.3%). (他们的动机包括渴望感受创造力（54.6%）、表达想法（49.6%）、分享想法和感受（49.2%）以及改善情绪（47.3%）。)”可知，学生选择创作诗歌的最大原因是为了激发创造力。故选C项。 【11题详解】 词句猜测题。根据最后一段中“Greater investment in poetry-based teaching could harness its power in a rapidly changing world. (在诗歌教学上投入更多资金，可以在这个快速变化的世界中harness its power。)”可知，作者认为在诗歌教学上投入更多资金是有益的，所以可以推测出harness its power意为“发挥其潜力”，与Unlock its potential意思相近。故选B项。 D A report from the UN reveals that drylands, including vast areas of desert, cover 41.3% of Earth’s total land area. What if large amounts of this land could be transformed into fertile (肥沃的) ground capable of producing crops? In 2016, researchers from China’s Chongqing Jiaotong University developed a novel technology that can greatly improve the ability of desert sands to hold water, air and minerals essential for plant growth. It was applied to a sandy 1.6-hectare (公顷) plot in the Ulan Buh Desert, in the Inner Mongolian Autonomous Region. Over time, the plot was transformed into cropland capable of producing tomatoes, rice, watermelon, sunflowers, and corn. Professor Yang Qingguo of Chongqing Jiaotong University explained that “The costs of artificial materials and machines for transforming sand into the soil is lower compared with controlled environmental agriculture and reclamation (开垦).” The research work at Chongqing Jiaotong University is not the first Chinese attempt to turn deserts into fertile land. As early as 1978, China launched the Three-North Shelter Forest Program, also known as the Great Green Wall. The goal of this program is to stop the expansion of the vast Gobi Desert and launch reforestation (植树造林) projects in the northeast, north, and northwest regions. It is a long-term initiative, scheduled for completion in 2050. In the past several decades, more than 7.88 million hectares of windbreak trees have been planted, 336,200 square kilometers of desert land have been reclaimed, and more than 10million hectares of grasslands have been protected or restored. At the same time, in the Loess Gateau, grass and forest coverage has been increased by around 60%, and the silt (淤泥) build-up in the Yellow River has been reduced significantly. Beyond the Great Green Wall, China has taken other measures to stop the spread of deserts. Desert greening is a challenging task, but the experiments conducted in China and other parts of the world to implement desert reforestation have raised hopes for a healthy and resourceful future ahead. 12. What do we know about the application of the new technology in the Ulan Buh Desert? A. It produced as much as fertile soils did. B. It showed the benefits of organic fertilizers. C. It proved sandy land could support diverse crops. D. It resulted in the plot becoming a tourist attraction. 13. What is the advantage of creating soil from sand according to Professor Yang? A. It is lower in cost. B. It is more eco-friendly. C. It produces fast-growing crops. D It simplifies the farming process. 14. What is paragraph 5 mainly about? A. The outcome of the Great Green Wall. B. The importance of grassland protection. C. The plan for reforestation projects in China. D. The reforestation efforts along the Yellow River. 15. What is the author’s tone in the text? A. Anxious. B. Hopeful. C. Humorous. D. Emotional. 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了联合国报告显示干旱土地占比大，中国研发新技术改造沙漠，且启动三北防护林工程，为沙漠绿化带来希望。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Over time, the plot was transformed into cropland capable of producing tomatoes, rice, watermelon, sunflowers, and corn.( 随着时间的推移，这片土地变成了能够种植西红柿、大米、西瓜、向日葵和玉米的农田。)”可知，新技术在乌兰布和沙漠的应用证明了沙地可以种植多样化的作物。故选C项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The costs of artificial materials and machines for transforming sand into the soil is lower compared with controlled - environmental agriculture and reclamation (开垦).( 与控制环境的农业和开垦相比，将沙子转化为土壤的人工材料和机器的成本更低。)”可知，杨教授认为以沙造土的优势是它的成本更低。故选A项。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第五段“In the past several decades, more than 7.88 million hectares of windbreak trees have been planted, 336,200 square kilometers of desert land have been reclaimed, and more than 10million hectares of grasslands have been protected or restored. At the same time, in the Loess Gateau, grass and forest coverage has been increased by around 60%, and the silt(淤泥) build-up in the Yellow River has been reduced significantly.( 几十年来，共种植防风林788万多公顷，复垦荒漠33.62万平方公里，保护和恢复草原1000多万公顷。与此同时，黄土峡的草地和森林覆盖率增加了60%左右，黄河淤积泥沙明显减少。)”可知，第五段主要讲述了绿色长城的成果。故选A项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Desert greening is a challenging task, but the experiments conducted in China and other parts of the world to implement desert reforestation have raised hopes for a healthy and resourceful future ahead.( 沙漠绿化是一项具有挑战性的任务，但在中国和世界其他地区进行的实施沙漠再造林的实验为未来健康和资源丰富的未来带来了希望。)”可知，作者认为沙漠绿化虽然具有挑战性，但在中国和世界其他地方进行的沙漠植树造林实验为未来健康和资源丰富的未来带来了希望。由此可推断作者的语气是充满希望的。故选B项。 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。 Research shows that past adversity can help you persevere in the face of current stress.

You won’t regret it. 【答案】36. to create 37. a 38. working 39. was posted 40. incredibly 41. are 42. with 43. viewed 44. powerful 45. who##that 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了邯郸艺术家闫俊海因能在数分钟内为路人创作精细泥雕半身像走红网络，其作品令人惊叹。他还培训超百名学生，传承文化遗产，诠释了传统文化的传承。 【36题详解】 考查动词不定式。句意：来自邯郸的天才艺术家闫俊海在网上获得了很多关注，因为他能在几分钟内画出详细的路人半身像。“the ability to do sth.”是固定搭配，表示“做某事的能力”，所以这里用动词不定式 to create作后置定语修饰ability。故填to create。 【37题详解】 考查冠词。句意：来自邯郸的天才艺术家闫俊海在网上获得了很多关注，因为他能在几分钟内画出详细的路人半身像。“in a matter of minutes”是固定短语，意思是“在几分钟内”。故填a。 【38题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：2018年，在社交媒体上发布了一段他在长沙街头变魔术的视频后，俊海在网上走红。分析句子可知，此处为非谓语动词，a video of him 后接动名词作宾语补足语，表示“他做…… 的视频”，him 是 work 的逻辑主语，work 和 him 之间是主动关系，所以用 working。故填working。 【39题详解】 考查动词时态和语态。句意：2018年，在社交媒体上发布了一段他在长沙街头变魔术的视频后，俊海在网上走红。分析句子结构，video 是主语，与 post（发布）之间是被动关系，且时间状语是 in 2018，是过去的时间，所以用一般过去时的被动语态，且主语为第三人称单数，所以谓语动词为 was posted。故填was posted。 【40题详解】 考查副词。句意：在这段简短的视频中，他将粘土制作成非常精细的街头人物半身像。这里需要用副词修饰形容词 detailed，incredible 的副词形式是 incredibly。故填incredibly。 【41题详解】 考查主谓一致。句意：闫俊海只用他的双手和一把精致的泥塑刀，在看似微弱的光线下，但他的作品却令人敬畏。根据上文的谓语动词uses以及seems可知，此处使用一般现在时，句子主语是 the results，是复数形式，根据主谓一致原则，be 动词用 are。故填are。 【42题详解】 考查固定短语。句意：如今，闫俊海已经为一百多名学员提供了专业培训。“provide sb. with sth.”是固定搭配，表示“为某人提供某物”，所以填 with。故填with。 【43题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：每个学生都被视为一颗充满希望的种子，随时准备探索新的艺术可能性。分析句子可知，此处为非谓语动词作后置定语修饰Each student，Each student 和 view（看作）之间是被动关系，所以用过去分词 viewed 作后置定语。故填viewed。 【44题详解】 考查形容词。句意：闫俊海的故事，不仅仅是一个匠人辛勤劳作的历程，更是对传统文化传承的有力诠释。这里需要用形容词修饰名词interpretation，power 的形容词形式是 powerful。故填powerful。 【45题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：如果你现在在邯郸，想要一个独特的纪念品，找一个雕刻粘土半身像的街头艺术家。分析句子可知，设空处引导定语从句，先行词是a street artist，指人，在从句中作主语，所以用关系代词who或that引导。故填who/that。 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) 46. 假定你是李华，某国际学校的学生，为了推动“体重管理年”活动的深入开展，你班将举办主题班会。请你准备一篇英文发言稿，内容包括： 1.体重管理的重要性； 2.你对体重管理的建议。 注意： 1.写作词数应为80左右； 2.请按如下格式相应位置作答。 Dear fellow students, today I’d like to talk about weight management. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Dear fellow students, today I’d like to talk about weight management. Weight management matters as it directly affects our physical health and confidence. An optimal weight reduces the risk of diseases like diabetes and boosts energy for daily activities. Moreover, it helps us stay mentally positive about our body image. Here are my suggestions. First, maintain a balanced diet with more veggies and whole grains, avoiding high - sugar snacks.

Most of the neighborhood children were afraid of him. Whenever he stepped out of his cabin we automatically kept our distance. Joe’s car, which he parked just beyond the fence, stood out in our small, unremarkable town. It shone with care and attention, and he treated it with almost ceremonial respect — wiping the door handle with a handkerchief each time he locked it. Though I often played in the nearby field, I always made an effort to stay away from the car. One afternoon, while riding my bicycle, I hit a mud puddle (水坑) near Joe’s car. In my attempt to avoid splattering (溅) mud onto his car, I lost control and crashed. My bike’s handlebars slid down the side of the vehicle. I froze in panic, staring at the damage, heart pounding. Joe appeared almost instantly; his expression unreadable. He examined the long scratch (划痕) on the car’s surface, then turned to me and asked, “Are you hurt?” I was hurt — a deep scratch ran down my leg from the rusty (生锈的) pedal. But I said, “I’m okay. I’m really sorry. I tried not to hit your car. I really did. “ “First things first, little girl,” Joe said firmly. He took hold of the back of my T-shirt and guided me into his cabin. My heart raced so fast that I paid no attention to my pain. “Sit here,” Joe said. Then he went into another room. Moments later, Joe returned with a dishpan of warm water, a towel, antiseptic, and bandages. He silently and carefully cleaned and dressed my wounds. Then he looked me in the eye-not with anger, but with quiet concern — and spoke. “You need to be more careful. Take care of your body. Be more aware of your surroundings.” Ashamed and close to tears, I offered to work to repay him for the damage. Joe shook his head. “Accidents happen,” he said. “Maybe tomorrow I’ll think of something you can do.” 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 The next morning, determined to make up for the damage, I went back to Joe’s cabin. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Over that month, an unexpected friendship began to grow between Joe and me. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: The next morning, determined to make up for the damage, I went back to Joe’s cabin. Joe examined my bike to ensure it hadn’t been damaged. Then, from the trunk of his shiny car, he pulled out a brand-new basket and attached it to the handle bars. “You’ll be doing my grocery runs for the next month,” he said simply. I agreed immediately, eager to prove I was trustworthy. From then on, I became his regular helper. I ran errands, swept his yard, and watered the plants in his yard. Over that month, an unexpected friendship began to grow between Joe and me. He shared stories about his youth — how he used to drive cross-country, and why keeping his car spotless mattered to him, Slowly, I came to see that Joe wasn’t frightening at all. He was simply quiet, and perhaps lonely. While the other kids continued to whisper about “the strange old man”, I saw something entirely different. His cabin, once a place I avoided, became a quiet world filled with warmth, trust, and a friendship that changed the way I saw others and myself. 【解析】 【导语】本文以乔和作者的意外交集为线索，讲述了作者骑自行车时不慎刮伤乔的车，乔非但没有责怪 “我”，反而为作者处理伤口。之后作者主动承担赔偿责任，在为乔帮忙的过程中，两人建立起意想不到的友谊，展现了打破偏见、温暖人心的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“第二天早上，我下定决心要弥补损失，回到了乔的小屋。”可知，第一段可描写乔检查作者的自行车是否损坏，随后从车里拿出新篮子装在车把上，让作者为他跑腿一个月作为补偿，作者立刻答应并开始帮他做杂务。 ②由第二段首句内容“在那个月里，乔和我之间开始建立起一种意想不到的友谊。”可知，第二段可描写乔与作者分享他年轻时的故事，解释爱车的原因，作者逐渐发现乔并不可怕，只是安静且可能孤独，其他孩子仍对他有偏见，但作者眼中的乔不同，他的小屋成为充满温暖和信任的地方，这段友谊也改变了作者看待他人和自己的方式。 2. 续写线索：决心弥补——乔装新篮子——作者帮忙跑腿——分享故事——建立友谊——打破偏见——改变认知 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①检查：examin/check/test ②分享：share /recount ③打扫：sweep/clean off 情绪类： ①令人害怕的：frightening/terrifying ②可信赖的：trustworthy/reliable 【点睛】[高分句型1] I agreed immediately, eager to prove I was trustworthy. （运用了形容词短语作状语以及省略that的宾语从句） [高分句型2] His cabin, once a place I avoided, became a quiet world filled with warmth, trust, and a friendship that changed the way I saw others and myself.（运用了过去分词短语作定语以及that引导定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 清远市2024―2025学年第二学期高中期末教学质量检测 高二英语 注意事项： 1.本试卷满分120分，考试时间120分钟。 2.答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号等填写在答题卡的相应位置。 3.全部答案在答题卡上完成，答在本试题卷上无效。 4.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。 5.考试结束后，将本试题卷和答题卡一并交回。 第二部分 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 Sci|Art Lab+Studio Summer Institute Program In the highly competitive Sci Art Lab+Studio, students engage deeply in science and art practices to develop both analytical and creative skills.

In November 2019, I hit rock bottom after spending $3,000 over Black Friday, feeling ashamed of myself. I knew I had a problem. That December, I clicked on a no-buy video on YouTube, where creators shared their experiences and tips. A year without shopping felt impossible-but the more I watched, the more I wondered: if I didn’t want to stop, was that a sign I should? On January 1, 2020, I started a year-long no-buy challenge with three rules: spend only on essentials like food and bills; replace beauty or fashion items only when they run out; and wait five days before buying any replacement. The first few weeks felt manageable-I was motivated to change. But soon my wants and needs blurred (变得模糊不清). For example, I would run out of a skincare item and convince myself I needed a new one, despite having plenty of others. For the rest of the year, I tried to justify purchases that fit in the grey area between my wants and my needs. My work wasn’t over when my no-buy year ended. I set a goal to develop a healthy relationship with money when I finally realized that I shopped to deal with stress. I started to explore healthier strategies like journaling, walking, and reading to manage tough emotions. I simplified my skincare routine, focused on essential products, and shifted from collecting to using. In 2023, I spent only $200 on makeup, which was a major improvement compared to my previous $1,000 annual spending. No-buy challenges are now a regular part of my life. Today, I’ve built savings and set financial goals. I still like shopping, but I do it more responsibly. 4. Why did the author begin a no-buy challenge in 2020? A. To follow a trend online. B. To test a new budgeting app. C. To save money for a big purchase. D. To break an unhealthy shopping habit. 5. What was one of the author’s rules for her no-buy journey? A. Replace items before they run out. B. Find products in secondhand stores. C. Delay replacement purchases by five days. D. Keep monthly expenses within a set budget. 6. Which best describes the author’s first-year no-buy experience? A. Overly restrictive. B. Partially effective. C. Fully transformative. D. Completely unsuccessful. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. Shopping Less, Living More. B. Learning More, Stressing Less. C. Exploring Nature, Finding Peace. D. Practicing Kindness, Spreading Joy. C This year, we set out to revisit the connection with poetry in all its forms to explore the important role poetry can play in the lives of children and young people. A total of 4,372 students aged from 8 to 16 in England participated in our online survey in 2024. The main focuses were emotional and behavioural aspects of reading, watching, listening to, writing, and performing poetry-including through print, performance, and social media. The survey also explored how poetry might support mental well-being or help express concerns about social issues. Almost half the students (48.8%) said they engaged with poetry during their free time — a slight increase from 46.1% in 2018. Students participated in poetry in various ways: about a quarter (24.1%) read, listened to, or watched it; 13.0% wrote or performed poetry; and 11.7% both experienced and created poetry. Among students who experienced poetry through media, reading was the most popular activity, with 71.3% choosing to read poems. In comparison, 37.3% listened to poetry, and 22.1% watched performances. Many students said they turned to poetry for self-improvement, introspection (内省) and social issue exploration. Among students who created poetry, writing was more common than performing. About 74.2% wrote poetry, while 41.9% performed it. Their motivations included a desire to feel creative (54.6%), express ideas (49.6%), share thoughts and feelings (49.2%), and improve their mood (47.3%). Despite these positive experiences, 51.2% of students reported not engaging with poetry at all. When asked why, the most common answers were that poetry felt boring or not relevant to their interests. This report highlights poetry’s value in encouraging creativity, supporting mental well-being, and promoting self-expression. It can play a vital role in literacy (读写能力) education, especially for disadvantaged students, by offering them a voice and a chance to connect with language in a personal way. Greater investment in poetry-based teaching could harness its power in a rapidly changing world. 8. What was the focus of the 2024 poetry survey? A. The role of poetry in academic success. B. The popularity of poetry on social media. C. Students’ feelings and responses to poetry. D. Students’ preferences for different literary forms. 9. What can be inferred about students who experienced poetry through media? A. They preferred visual content over text. B. They engaged in it for school assignments. C. They lacked the skills to write or perform poetry. D. They valued poetry for growth and social insight. 10. What was the biggest reason students chose to create poetry? A. To feel happier. B. To express ideas. C. To fuel creativity. D. To share emotions. 11. Which can replace the underlined words “harness its power” in the last paragraph? A. Boost its popularity. B. Unlock its potential. C. Control its influence. D. Ignore its limitations. D A report from the UN reveals that drylands, including vast areas of desert, cover 41.3% of Earth’s total land area. What if large amounts of this land could be transformed into fertile (肥沃的) ground capable of producing crops? In 2016, researchers from China’s Chongqing Jiaotong University developed a novel technology that can greatly improve the ability of desert sands to hold water, air and minerals essential for plant growth. It was applied to a sandy 1.6-hectare (公顷) plot in the Ulan Buh Desert, in the Inner Mongolian Autonomous Region. Over time, the plot was transformed into cropland capable of producing tomatoes, rice, watermelon, sunflowers, and corn. Professor Yang Qingguo of Chongqing Jiaotong University explained that “The costs of artificial materials and machines for transforming sand into the soil is lower compared with controlled environmental agriculture and reclamation (开垦).” The research work at Chongqing Jiaotong University is not the first Chinese attempt to turn deserts into fertile land. As early as 1978, China launched the Three-North Shelter Forest Program, also known as the Great Green Wall. The goal of this program is to stop the expansion of the vast Gobi Desert and launch reforestation (植树造林) projects in the northeast, north, and northwest regions. It is a long-term initiative, scheduled for completion in 2050. In the past several decades, more than 7.88 million hectares of windbreak trees have been planted, 336,200 square kilometers of desert land have been reclaimed, and more than 10million hectares of grasslands have been protected or restored. At the same time, in the Loess Gateau, grass and forest coverage has been increased by around 60%, and the silt (淤泥) build-up in the Yellow River has been reduced significantly. Beyond the Great Green Wall, China has taken other measures to stop the spread of deserts. Desert greening is a challenging task, but the experiments conducted in China and other parts of the world to implement desert reforestation have raised hopes for a healthy and resourceful future ahead. 12. What do we know about the application of the new technology in the Ulan Buh Desert? A. It produced as much as fertile soils did. B. It showed the benefits of organic fertilizers. C. It proved sandy land could support diverse crops. D. It resulted in the plot becoming a tourist attraction. 13. What is the advantage of creating soil from sand according to Professor Yang? A. It is lower in cost. B. It is more eco-friendly. C. It produces fast-growing crops. D. It simplifies the farming process. 14. What is paragraph 5 mainly about? A. The outcome of the Great Green Wall. B. The importance of grassland protection. C. The plan for reforestation projects in China. D. The reforestation efforts along the Yellow River. 15 What is the author’s tone in the text? A Anxious. B. Hopeful. C. Humorous. D. Emotional. 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。 Research shows that past adversity can help you persevere in the face of current stress.

Most of the neighborhood children were afraid of him. Whenever he stepped out of his cabin we automatically kept our distance. Joe’s car, which he parked just beyond the fence, stood out in our small, unremarkable town. It shone with care and attention, and he treated it with almost ceremonial respect — wiping the door handle with a handkerchief each time he locked it. Though I often played in the nearby field, I always made an effort to stay away from the car. One afternoon, while riding my bicycle, I hit a mud puddle (水坑) near Joe’s car. In my attempt to avoid splattering (溅) mud onto his car, I lost control and crashed. My bike’s handlebars slid down the side of the vehicle. I froze in panic, staring at the damage, heart pounding. Joe appeared almost instantly; his expression unreadable. He examined the long scratch (划痕) on the car’s surface, then turned to me and asked, “Are you hurt?” I was hurt — a deep scratch ran down my leg from the rusty (生锈的) pedal. But I said, “I’m okay. I’m really sorry. I tried not to hit your car. I really did. “ “First things first, little girl,” Joe said firmly. He took hold of the back of my T-shirt and guided me into his cabin. My heart raced so fast that I paid no attention to my pain. “Sit here,” Joe said. Then he went into another room. Moments later, Joe returned with a dishpan of warm water, a towel, antiseptic, and bandages. He silently and carefully cleaned and dressed my wounds. Then he looked me in the eye-not with anger, but with quiet concern — and spoke. “You need to be more careful. Take care of your body. Be more aware of your surroundings.” Ashamed and close to tears, I offered to work to repay him for the damage. Joe shook his head. “Accidents happen,” he said. “Maybe tomorrow I’ll think of something you can do.” 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 The next morning, determined to make up for the damage, I went back to Joe’s cabin. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Over that month, an unexpected friendship began to grow between Joe and me. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
