B Last year, my friend Alex made a decision that shocked everyone: He quit the school basketball team, even though he was one of the best players. For years, Alex had been “the basketball guy”. It was how everyone saw him — his teammates, his teachers, even his family. But one day, he told me, “I don’t know if I even like basketball anymore. I just feel like I’m supposed to play. ” His words stuck with me because they touched on something deeper: the struggle to figure out who we are, especially when everyone else seems to have already decided for us. Alex’s story made me think about how much of our identity is shaped by others’ expectations. From a young age, we’re labeled — athlete, artist, nerd — and those labels can feel like cages. Psychologists call this “external identity”, and while it can give us a sense of belonging, it can also make it hard to discover what we truly want. For Alex, quitting basketball wasn’t just about leaving a team; it was about breaking away from a role that no longer fit him. But here’s the controversial (争议的) part: Is it always better to follow your own path, even if it means disappointing others? Some people argued that Alex was selfish, and that he owed it to his team to stay. Others, including me, admired his courage. After all, isn’t adolescence the time to explore, to make mistakes, and to figure out who you are? But the truth is, it’s not that simple. Letting go of an identity you’ve outgrown can be terrifying, especially when it feels like you’re losing a part of you. What struck me most, though, was how Alex’s journey mirrored a bigger question: How do we balance who we are with who others want us to be? Maybe the answer isn’t about choosing one over the other but about finding a way to honor both. Alex didn’t stop playing basketball entirely; he still shoots hoops with friends for fun. But now, he’s also exploring photography, something he’d never had time for before. It’s his way of saying, “I’m more than just one thing. ” In the end, Alex’s story reminded me that identity isn’t fixed—it’s a work in progress. And maybe that’s okay. After all, isn’t life about becoming, not just being? 24. Why did Alex quit the school basketball team? A. He felt pressured by others’ expectations. B. He was injured and could no longer play. C. He wanted to focus on his academic studies. D. He had a conflict with his teammates. 25. What does the term “external identity” refer to in paragraph 2? A. The identity shaped by one’s own choices. B. The identity influenced by others’ expectations. C. The identity formed through personal achievements. D. The identity developed during childhood. 26. What is the controversial point discussed in the article? A. Whether quitting a team is a sign of weakness. B. Whether following one’s own path is always the best choice. C. Whether teenagers should focus on academics over sports. D. Whether parents should influence their children’s decisions. 27. What does Alex’s exploration of photography symbolize? A. His desire to escape from reality. B. His rejection of all sports-related activities. C. His attempt to find a new identity. D. His need to prove himself to others. C Cortisol widely recognized as the “stress hormone (激素)”, plays a key role in managing stress. The recent discussions in TikTok suggest a misinterpretation that cortisol imbalances are directly responsible for various health issues, from loose skin to sleep and digestive problems. “The relationship between cortisol and body symptoms is not straightforward.” Experts like Martin Picard from Columbia University emphasizes. Our bodies release cortisol when we encounter a challenge, whether psychological or physical, real or imagined. Things like coming across a bear on a hike, receiving an annoying work email or delivering a public speech are the typical cases. Cortisol aids in energy supply and metabolism (新陈代谢) control. Its levels vary, peaking in the morning and reducing by night. However, long-term stress can disturb this balance, leading to sustained high cortisol levels. Potential disadvantages are weakened immune (免疫的) system and high blood sugar, as well as mental illnesses like depression and PTSD. In extreme cases, too much cortisol production may lead to Cushing’s syndrome, characterized by serious physical changes and requiring medical treatment. Identifying cortisol-related issues requires professional evaluation, as self-assessment or at-home testing may not provide accurate results due to cortisol’s dynamic nature. Experts suggest consulting healthcare professionals for a thorough check. While there’s no one-size-fits-all solution for managing cortisol levels, research indicates that practices such as yoga, mindfulness, and moderate exercise can aid in regulating the body’s stress response. These activities not only help in reducing stress but also in training the body to manage its stress In conclusion, cortisol plays a key role in how our body handles stress and functions overall. However, saying that many health problems are just due to cortisol imbalances misses the complex interaction between hormones, stress and health. It’s important to take a holistic approach to health, with professional guidance and personalized stress management strategies. 28. What can we learn about cortisol? A. It can directly cause sleep disorder. B. It won’t influence physical health at all. C. It has nothing to do with stomach upset. D. It is misunderstood on social media. 29. What can be inferred from paragraph 4? A. Exercise guarantees cortisol decrease. B. Home testing of cortisol is not available. C. Multiple tests may be required to measure cortisol. D. Experts reject home activities in stress management. 30. What does the underlined word “holistic” mean in the last paragraph? A. Medical. B. Physical. C. Immediate. D. Comprehensive. 31. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. Cortisol: The Simple Truth About Stress Hormone. B Medical Treatments for Cortisol-Related Disorders. C. How to Reduce Cortisol Levels Through Daily Exercises. D. Cortisol’s Complex Role in Stress and Health Issues. D In an era where “digital detox” has become a buzzword, people who call themselves digital minimalists proudly delete social apps, turn their phone screens to black-and-white, or switch to simple phones. Yet their fight against technology overload often creates a confusing cycle. To reduce screen time, they use apps like Forest to track their habits; to replace iPads, they buy $200 special black-and-white devices; and to learn about minimalism, they spend hours watching YouTube videos. Surprisingly, App Annie’s 2023 report showed downloads of “digital wellness” apps jumped by 140%, proving that this movement against technology still deeply depends on it. This contradiction echoes historical patterns. In the 19th century, the British Arts and Crafts Movement fought against factory-made goods by praising handmade items. However, these handmade products became expensive luxuries only the rich could afford. Similarly, today’s digital minimalism, while trying to resist distractions from apps and ads, has created a huge $8. 7 billion industry selling “anti-tech” products. Examples include writing apps without ads, “smart” paper notebooks that need internet updates, and simple-looking gadgets. These products turn the idea of rebellion into something people can buy, like turning a protest sign into a fashion accessory. The real problem is showing off simplicity. A 2024 Stanford study found that 62% of people who call themselves digital minimalists spend the same amount of time on their phones — they just switch from social media to “approved” apps like e-book readers or meditation tools. This is similar to Instagram photos of perfectly clean desks: the empty space looks simple, but behind it are complex phone settings and app algorithms. Maybe we need a new way of thinking. Scholar Andrew Hui suggests treating technology like water — using it wisely without wasting or nervously measuring every drop. Writer Jenny Odell, in her book How to Do Nothing, argues that real freedom isn’t about running away from the digital world but finding balance within it. This could mean allowing small, joyful moments in our digital lives: a funny cat video popping up during work, or understanding that a family member’s repeated health posts in a chat group are really about showing love. When we stop judging every tech choice as “good” or “bad” and focus on meaningful connections, we might finally feel free in the digital age. 32. What is the main outcome of digital minimalists’ efforts? A. They successfully reduce screen time through strict rules. B. They depend more on technology to achieve their goals. C. They inspire others to join the digital detox movement. D. They completely abandon modern devices like iPads. 33. Why is the 19th-century Arts and Crafts Movement mentioned? A. To show anti-tech trends are not new in history. B. To criticize the high cost of handmade products. C. To prove that older generations valued simplicity more. D. To compare traditional crafts with modern digital tools. 34. What does the Stanford study reveal about digital minimalists? A. They prefer meditation apps to entertainment. B. Their phone settings are simpler than non-minimalists’s. C. They spend less time on social media than average users. D. Their total screen time remains unchanged despite efforts. 35. What solution does the author support for balancing digital life? A. Strictly avoiding all non-work-related technology. B. Labeling technology as either “good” or “bad. ” C. Embracing small digital joys without guilt. D. Returning to pre-industrial lifestyles. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多会选项 Community service is more than a college application requirement — it’s a transformative experience that shapes character and offers real-world learning. ____36____ Yet many students approach it hesitantly, unsure how to make a meaningful impact or seeing it as an uninteresting obligation. This hesitation often comes from not knowing how to match their interests with service opportunities. The key is finding a project that fits both personal interests and community needs. For example, a group of high students noticed the lack of green spaces in their urban neighborhood, realizing a change was a must. ____37____ They researched local gardening methods, sought neighbors’ support, and spent countless weekends turning an abandoned lot into a lively community garden with flowers and vegetable patches. Successful community service usually involves teamwork. ____38____ By collaborating with local non-profits, schools, and businesses, students access what they couldn’t get alone. A team aiming to improve literacy in underprivileged areas partnered with a local library. The library provided books, while the students designed engaging reading programs for different age groups. Overcoming obstacles during community service is an unavoidable part in the process. ____39____ The students faced challenges like getting permits, handling limited funds, and persuading hesitant neighbors. These difficulties taught them problem-solving, patience, and communication. Similarly, those in the literacy project learned to adjust their teaching based on feedback. ____40____ Many students find hidden talents, like leadership or public speaking, as they take on roles in service projects. Helping others not only enriches the community but also brings a stronger sense of purpose and a deeper understanding of social issues. A. Creating the community garden wasn’t easy. B. Community service also offers self-discovery. C. They decided to act and started a project to change things. D. Joint efforts bring together resources and create greater impacts. E. It’s a chance to leave comfort zones and develop valuable life skills. F. This realization motivates them to take on more ambitious projects later. G. Cooperation in community service builds strong relationships and helps future projects. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和 D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。 I used to believe talent was everything until I met Ms. Carter in ninth grade.

Whenever I stepped onto a tennis court, it was as though a name label with “Aaron’s younger brother” in big letters had been already stuck onto me. All people had to do was refer to the imaginary label and they would know how to address me. “Why don’t the two of you play doubles together?” This was a question repeatedly asked during my sign-ups for every tennis tournament, including this one. The answer was simple — I wanted to defeat Aaron, my older brother whose fame had made me a nameless tennis player. As I shook Aaron’s hand at the start of the match, I stared at him with determination, hoping this match could change everything. “I’m going to beat you today.” I gathered the confidence to claim over the outcome of the match. “Are you sure, Dallon?” Aaron laughed sneeringly (轻蔑地) as he turned his back towards me and walked away. For a brief moment, I regretted that display of over-confidence. I nervously shifted my weight from one foot to the other. The tennis court seemed to stretch out further than usual, but I could still make out the self-satisfied look on Aaron’s face. My sweaty hands tightened my racket (球拍) — the fifth one passed down to me from Aaron. If I did win today, it would enable me to get a new racket for a change. It was definitely a close game. I was persevering as expected, but I was not sure how long it would take before I quit. We were down to the last round, neck and neck in points. I was fuelled with adrenaline (肾上腺素) as I inched closer to the possibility of victory. Just then, my knees weak, I made a mistake and missed the ball. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为 150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The crowd roaring with the name of “Aaron”, I was on the edge of giving up. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The whistle blew for the end of the match and I achieved the final victory. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024学年第二学期期末调研测试卷 高二英语 本试题卷分选择题和非选择题两部分。全卷共11页，选择题部分1至9页，非选择题部分10至11页。满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 考生注意： 1. 答题前，请务必将自己的姓名、准考证号用黑色字迹的签字笔或钢笔分别填写在试题卷和答题纸规定的位置上。 2. 答题时，请按照答题纸上“注意事项”的要求，在答题纸相应的位置上规范作答，在本试题卷上的作答一律无效。 选择题部分 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。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 will the man do?

A 【解析】 【原文】M: How would you use a radio or a telephone if you had no electricity or batteries? These problems bothered British inventor Trevor Baylis, so in 1996 he invented a wind-up radio. It doesn’t need electricity or batteries. You wind it up by hand. It plays for about an hour, then you wind it up again. Today, it’s produced in South Africa. Apart from that, Baylis invented a mobile telephone that is powered by shoes. The shoes contain a small battery that is powered when you walk. This battery is connected to a mobile phone. These two simple inventions can contribute a lot to the modern communications among all parts of the world. Baylis doesn’t have a university degree in engineering. In fact he left high school before graduating. He just loves making things to help people. He never knows when the creative ideas will come to him. He got the idea for the radio while watching TV. The idea for the telephone came to him in a dream. 第二部分：阅读理解（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和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A Online Learning Resources（OLR） Online Learning Resources (OLR) provide students, teachers, and staff with access to a wide range of digital materials, including e-books, academic journals, and video lectures, which are not available in the physical library.

(然而，一些专业材料，如稀有档案或新出版的作品，可能需要2-3天的时间来处理。)”可知，通过OLR获取专业材料可能需要2-3天的时间。故选B。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据Fees for Access部分中的“Newly Published Works $15 (新出版的作品 15美元)”可知，学生购买两本新出版的作品需要支付30美元。故选C。 B Last year, my friend Alex made a decision that shocked everyone: He quit the school basketball team, even though he was one of the best players. For years, Alex had been “the basketball guy”. It was how everyone saw him — his teammates, his teachers, even his family. But one day, he told me, “I don’t know if I even like basketball anymore. I just feel like I’m supposed to play. ” His words stuck with me because they touched on something deeper: the struggle to figure out who we are, especially when everyone else seems to have already decided for us. Alex’s story made me think about how much of our identity is shaped by others’ expectations. From a young age, we’re labeled — athlete, artist, nerd — and those labels can feel like cages. Psychologists call this “external identity”, and while it can give us a sense of belonging, it can also make it hard to discover what we truly want. For Alex, quitting basketball wasn’t just about leaving a team; it was about breaking away from a role that no longer fit him. But here’s the controversial (争议的) part: Is it always better to follow your own path, even if it means disappointing others? Some people argued that Alex was selfish, and that he owed it to his team to stay. Others, including me, admired his courage. After all, isn’t adolescence the time to explore, to make mistakes, and to figure out who you are? But the truth is, it’s not that simple. Letting go of an identity you’ve outgrown can be terrifying, especially when it feels like you’re losing a part of you. What struck me most though, was how Alex’s journey mirrored a bigger question: How do we balance who we are with who others want us to be? Maybe the answer isn’t about choosing one over the other but about finding a way to honor both. Alex didn’t stop playing basketball entirely; he still shoots hoops with friends for fun. But now, he’s also exploring photography, something he’d never had time for before. It’s his way of saying, “I’m more than just one thing. ” In the end, Alex’s story reminded me that identity isn’t fixed—it’s a work in progress. And maybe that’s okay. After all, isn’t life about becoming, not just being? 24. Why did Alex quit the school basketball team? A. He felt pressured by others’ expectations. B. He was injured and could no longer play. C. He wanted to focus on his academic studies. D. He had a conflict with his teammates. 25. What does the term “external identity” refer to in paragraph 2? A. The identity shaped by one’s own choices. B. The identity influenced by others’ expectations. C. The identity formed through personal achievements. D. The identity developed during childhood. 26. What is the controversial point discussed in the article? A. Whether quitting a team is a sign of weakness. B. Whether following one’s own path is always the best choice. C. Whether teenagers should focus on academics over sports. D. Whether parents should influence their children’s decisions. 27. What does Alex’s exploration of photography symbolize? A. His desire to escape from reality. B. His rejection of all sports-related activities. C. His attempt to find a new identity. D. His need to prove himself to others. 【答案】24. A 25. B 26. B 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。主要介绍朋友亚历克斯因不堪外界期待退出校篮球队，引发关于自我与他人期待平衡的思考。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的““I don’t know if I even like basketball anymore. I just feel like I’m supposed to play. ”(“我不知道自己是否还喜欢篮球，只是觉得我应该打球。”)”及第二段中的“Alex’s story made me think about how much of our identity is shaped by others’ expectations.(亚历克斯的故事让我思考，我们的身份有多少是由他人的期望塑造的。)”可知，亚历克斯退出校篮球队是因为他感到来自他人期望的压力。故选A项。 【25题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“Alex’s story made me think about how much of our identity is shaped by others’ expectations. From a young age, we’re labeled — athlete, artist, nerd — and those labels can feel like cages. Psychologists call this “external identity”(亚历克斯的故事让我思考，我们的身份有多少是由他人的期望塑造的。从很小的时候起，我们就被贴上标签——运动员、艺术家、书呆子——这些标签感觉就像笼子。)”可知，作者意识到我们的身份是由很多人的期望塑造的，由此可判断，划线短语“external identity”指的是受他人期望影响的身份。故选B项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“But here’s the controversial (争议的) part: Is it always better to follow your own path, even if it means disappointing others?(但这里有一个有争议的部分：即使意味着让别人失望，走自己的路总是更好吗？)”可知，文章中讨论的有争议的点是“走自己的路是否总是最佳选择”。故选B项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Alex didn’t stop playing basketball entirely; he still shoots hoops with friends for fun. But now, he’s also exploring photography, something he’d never had time for before. It’s his way of saying, “I’m more than just one thing. ”(亚历克斯并没有完全停止打篮球；他仍然和朋友一起打篮球取乐。但现在，他也在探索摄影，这是他以前从未有时间做的事情。这是他在说：“我不止是一个样子。”)”可知，亚历克斯对摄影的探索象征着他试图寻找新身份。故选C项。 C Cortisol, widely recognized as the “stress hormone (激素)”, plays a key role in managing stress. The recent discussions in TikTok suggest a misinterpretation that cortisol imbalances are directly responsible for various health issues, from loose skin to sleep and digestive problems. “The relationship between cortisol and body symptoms is not straightforward.” Experts like Martin Picard from Columbia University emphasizes. Our bodies release cortisol when we encounter a challenge, whether psychological or physical, real or imagined. Things like coming across a bear on a hike, receiving an annoying work email or delivering a public speech are the typical cases. Cortisol aids in energy supply and metabolism (新陈代谢) control. Its levels vary, peaking in the morning and reducing by night. However, long-term stress can disturb this balance, leading to sustained high cortisol levels. Potential disadvantages are weakened immune (免疫的) system and high blood sugar, as well as mental illnesses like depression and PTSD. In extreme cases, too much cortisol production may lead to Cushing’s syndrome, characterized by serious physical changes and requiring medical treatment. Identifying cortisol-related issues requires professional evaluation, as self-assessment or at-home testing may not provide accurate results due to cortisol’s dynamic nature. Experts suggest consulting healthcare professionals for a thorough check. While there’s no one-size-fits-all solution for managing cortisol levels, research indicates that practices such as yoga, mindfulness, and moderate exercise can aid in regulating the body’s stress response. These activities not only help in reducing stress but also in training the body to manage its stress In conclusion, cortisol plays a key role in how our body handles stress and functions overall. However, saying that many health problems are just due to cortisol imbalances misses the complex interaction between hormones, stress and health. It’s important to take a holistic approach to health, with professional guidance and personalized stress management strategies. 28. What can we learn about cortisol? A. It can directly cause sleep disorder. B. It won’t influence physical health at all. C. It has nothing to do with stomach upset. D. It is misunderstood on social media. 29. What can be inferred from paragraph 4? A. Exercise guarantees cortisol decrease. B. Home testing of cortisol is not available. C. Multiple tests may be required to measure cortisol. D. Experts reject home activities in stress management. 30. What does the underlined word “holistic” mean in the last paragraph? A. Medical. B. Physical. C. Immediate. D. Comprehensive. 31. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. Cortisol: The Simple Truth About Stress Hormone. B. Medical Treatments for Cortisol-Related Disorders. C. How to Reduce Cortisol Levels Through Daily Exercises. D. Cortisol’s Complex Role in Stress and Health Issues. 【答案】28. D 29. C 30. D 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了皮质醇的功能、误解及其与健康的关系，并提供了相关建议。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“The recent discussions in TikTok suggest a misinterpretation that cortisol imbalances are directly responsible for various health issues, from loose skin to sleep and digestive problems.(TikTok上最近的讨论表明了一种误解，即皮质醇失衡直接导致了各种健康问题，从皮肤松弛到睡眠和消化问题。)”可知，皮质醇失衡被误解为直接导致各种健康问题。故选D项。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Identifying cortisol-related issues requires professional evaluation, as self-assessment or at-home testing may not provide accurate results due to cortisol’s dynamic nature.(识别皮质醇相关的问题需要专业的评估，因为由于皮质醇的动态特性，自我评估或家庭测试可能无法提供准确的结果。)”可知，由于皮质醇的动态特性，可能需要多次测试来准确测量其水平。故选C项。 【30题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线单词下文“with professional guidance and personalized stress management strategies.(在专业指导和个性化压力管理策略下)”可知，根据专业指导和个性化压力管理策略采取的方法肯定是全面的，所以划线单词“holistic”的意义为“全面的；整体的”，与integrated“综合的；完整统一的”意义相近。故选D项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Cortisol, widely recognized as the “stress hormone (激素)”, plays a key role in managing stress. The recent discussions in TikTok suggest a misinterpretation that cortisol imbalances are directly responsible for various health issues, from loose skin to sleep and digestive problems. “The relationship between cortisol and body symptoms is not straightforward.” Experts like Martin Picard from Columbia University emphasizes.(皮质醇被广泛认为是“压力激素”，在应对压力方面起着关键作用。TikTok 上最近的讨论似乎存在一种误解，即皮质醇失衡直接导致了各种健康问题，从皮肤松弛到睡眠和消化问题。哥伦比亚大学的马丁·皮卡德等专家强调：“皮质醇与身体症状之间的关系并非那么简单直接。”)”结合文章主要介绍了皮质醇的功能、误解及其与健康的关系，并提供了相关建议。可知，D选项“胰岛素在压力与健康问题中的复杂作用”最符合文章标题。故选D。 D In an era where “digital detox” has become a buzzword, people who call themselves digital minimalists proudly delete social apps, turn their phone screens to black-and-white, or switch to simple phones. Yet their fight against technology overload often creates a confusing cycle. To reduce screen time, they use apps like Forest to track their habits; to replace iPads, they buy $200 special black-and-white devices; and to learn about minimalism, they spend hours watching YouTube videos. Surprisingly, App Annie’s 2023 report showed downloads of “digital wellness” apps jumped by 140%, proving that this movement against technology still deeply depends on it. This contradiction echoes historical patterns. In the 19th century, the British Arts and Crafts Movement fought against factory-made goods by praising handmade items. However, these handmade products became expensive luxuries only the rich could afford. Similarly, today’s digital minimalism, while trying to resist distractions from apps and ads, has created a huge $8. 7 billion industry selling “anti-tech” products. Examples include writing apps without ads, “smart” paper notebooks that need internet updates, and simple-looking gadgets. These products turn the idea of rebellion into something people can buy, like turning a protest sign into a fashion accessory. The real problem is showing off simplicity. A 2024 Stanford study found that 62% of people who call themselves digital minimalists spend the same amount of time on their phones — they just switch from social media to “approved” apps like e-book readers or meditation tools. This is similar to Instagram photos of perfectly clean desks: the empty space looks simple, but behind it are complex phone settings and app algorithms. Maybe we need a new way of thinking. Scholar Andrew Hui suggests treating technology like water — using it wisely without wasting or nervously measuring every drop. Writer Jenny Odell, in her book How to Do Nothing, argues that real freedom isn’t about running away from the digital world but finding balance within it. This could mean allowing small, joyful moments in our digital lives: a funny cat video popping up during work, or understanding that a family member’s repeated health posts in a chat group are really about showing love. When we stop judging every tech choice as “good” or “bad” and focus on meaningful connections, we might finally feel free in the digital age. 32. What is the main outcome of digital minimalists’ efforts? A. They successfully reduce screen time through strict rules. B. They depend more on technology to achieve their goals. C. They inspire others to join the digital detox movement. D. They completely abandon modern devices like iPads. 33. Why is the 19th-century Arts and Crafts Movement mentioned? A. To show anti-tech trends are not new in history. B. To criticize the high cost of handmade products. C. To prove that older generations valued simplicity more. D. To compare traditional crafts with modern digital tools. 34. What does the Stanford study reveal about digital minimalists? A. They prefer meditation apps to entertainment. B. Their phone settings are simpler than non-minimalists’s. C. They spend less time on social media than average users. D. Their total screen time remains unchanged despite efforts. 35. What solution does the author support for balancing digital life? A. Strictly avoiding all non-work-related technology. B. Labeling technology as either “good” or “bad. ” C. Embracing small digital joys without guilt. D. Returning to pre-industrial lifestyles. 【答案】32. B 33. A 34. D 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章指出数字极简主义者对抗科技过载的努力陷入矛盾，依赖科技且产生相关产业，还揭示其实际屏幕时间未减，最后提出应在数字生活中寻找平衡。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“To reduce screen time, they use apps like Forest to track their habits; to replace iPads, they buy $200 special black and white devices; and to learn about minimalism, they spend hours watching YouTube videos. Surprisingly, App Annie’s 2023 report showed downloads of “digital wellness” apps jumped by 140%, proving that this movement against technology still deeply depends on it. (为了减少屏幕使用时间，他们使用像Forest这样的应用程序来跟踪自己的习惯；为了取代iPad，他们购买价值200美元的特殊黑白设备；为了了解极简主义，他们花几个小时观看YouTube视频。令人惊讶的是，App Annie 2023年的报告显示，“数字健康”应用程序的下载量增长了140%，这证明这场反对科技的运动仍然严重依赖科技。)”可知，数字极简主义者为了达到目标更多地依赖了科技。故选B项。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“This contradiction echoes historical patterns. In the 19th century, the British Arts and Crafts Movement fought against factory made goods by praising handmade items.

(这种矛盾呼应了历史模式。19世纪，英国工艺美术运动通过推崇手工制品来抵制工厂制造的商品。然而，这些手工制品变成了只有富人才能买得起的昂贵奢侈品。)”可知，提到19世纪的工艺美术运动是为了说明反科技潮流在历史上并不新鲜。故选A项。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“A 2024 Stanford study found that 62% of people who call themselves digital minimalists spend the same amount of time on their phones — they just switch from social media to “approved” apps like e book readers or meditation tools. (2024年斯坦福大学的一项研究发现，62%自称数字极简主义者的人在手机上花费的时间相同——他们只是从社交媒体转向了像电子书阅读器或冥想工具这样的“合规”应用程序。)”可知，斯坦福大学的研究揭示出数字极简主义者尽管做出努力，但其总的屏幕使用时间并未改变。故选D项。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“This could mean allowing small, joyful moments in our digital lives: a funny cat video popping up during work, or understanding that a family member’s repeated health posts in a chat group are really about showing love. When we stop judging every tech choice as “good” or “bad” and focus on meaningful connections, we might finally feel free in the digital age. (这可能意味着在我们的数字生活中允许有一些小小的快乐时刻：工作时弹出的有趣猫咪视频，或者理解家庭成员在聊天群里反复发布健康信息其实是在表达爱。当我们不再将每一个科技选择评判为“好”或“坏”，而是专注于有意义的联系时，我们可能最终会在数字时代感到自由。)”可知，作者支持在数字生活中毫无愧疚地享受数字带来的小快乐，以此来平衡数字生活。故选C项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多会选项 Community service is more than a college application requirement — it’s a transformative experience that shapes character and offers real-world learning. ____36____ Yet many students approach it hesitantly, unsure how to make a meaningful impact or seeing it as an uninteresting obligation. This hesitation often comes from not knowing how to match their interests with service opportunities. The key is finding a project that fits both personal interests and community needs. For example, a group of high students noticed the lack of green spaces in their urban neighborhood, realizing a change was a must. ____37____ They researched local gardening methods, sought neighbors’ support, and spent countless weekends turning an abandoned lot into a lively community garden with flowers and vegetable patches. Successful community service usually involves teamwork. ____38____ By collaborating with local non-profits, schools, and businesses, students access what they couldn’t get alone. A team aiming to improve literacy in underprivileged areas partnered with a local library. The library provided books, while the students designed engaging reading programs for different age groups. Overcoming obstacles during community service is an unavoidable part in the process. ____39____ The students faced challenges like getting permits, handling limited funds, and persuading hesitant neighbors. These difficulties taught them problem-solving, patience, and communication. Similarly, those in the literacy project learned to adjust their teaching based on feedback. ____40____ Many students find hidden talents, like leadership or public speaking, as they take on roles in service projects. Helping others not only enriches the community but also brings a stronger sense of purpose and a deeper understanding of social issues. A. Creating the community garden wasn’t easy. B. Community service also offers self-discovery. C. They decided to act and started a project to change things. D. Joint efforts bring together resources and create greater impacts. E. It’s a chance to leave comfort zones and develop valuable life skills. F. This realization motivates them to take on more ambitious projects later. G. Cooperation in community service builds strong relationships and helps future projects. 【答案】36. E 37. C 38. D 39. A 40.

Whenever I stepped onto a tennis court, it was as though a name label with “Aaron’s younger brother” in big letters had been already stuck onto me. All people had to do was refer to the imaginary label and they would know how to address me. “Why don’t the two of you play doubles together?” This was a question repeatedly asked during my sign-ups for every tennis tournament, including this one. The answer was simple — I wanted to defeat Aaron, my older brother whose fame had made me a nameless tennis player. As I shook Aaron’s hand at the start of the match, I stared at him with determination, hoping this match could change everything. “I’m going to beat you today.” I gathered the confidence to claim over the outcome of the match. “Are you sure, Dallon?” Aaron laughed sneeringly (轻蔑地) as he turned his back towards me and walked away. For a brief moment, I regretted that display of over-confidence. I nervously shifted my weight from one foot to the other. The tennis court seemed to stretch out further than usual, but I could still make out the self-satisfied look on Aaron’s face. My sweaty hands tightened my racket (球拍) — the fifth one passed down to me from Aaron. If I did win today, it would enable me to get a new racket for a change. It was definitely a close game. I was persevering as expected, but I was not sure how long it would take before I quit. We were down to the last round, neck and neck in points. I was fuelled with adrenaline (肾上腺素) as I inched closer to the possibility of victory. Just then, my knees weak, I made a mistake and missed the ball. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为 150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The crowd roaring with the name of “Aaron”, I was on the edge of giving up. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The whistle blew for the end of the match and I achieved the final victory. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: The crowd roaring with the name of “Aaron”, I was on the edge of giving up. However, the sun cast Aaron’s image over me, reminding me that I would always be walking in his shadow if I couldn’t prove myself. Unwilling to quit at this crucial moment, I made quick adjustments. Exhausted as I was, I calmed myself down, gritted my teeth and strove to catch every ball. Then came the chance. The ball made contact with my racket and flew over Aaron’s head. Greatly astonished, he could do nothing but witness his undefeated status as reigning champion being erased by his younger brother. The whistle blew for the end of the match and I achieved the final victory. “I made it!” I yelled and jumped into the air, my face lit up with excitement. Meeting my joyful eyes, Aaron walked over, patted my shoulder and thumbed up at me, “Congratulations!” “Thank you!” I replied, a toothy smile spreading across my sweaty face. Just then a round of applause and cheers rang through the whole court, “Well done, Dallon! ” Hearing my name echoing in the air, I knew that I’d proved myself by freeing myself from the title of “Aaron’s younger brother”. 【解析】 【导语】本文以作者对哥哥亚伦的网球比赛为线索，讲述了作者从小被称为“亚伦的弟弟”，渴望在比赛中击败哥哥以证明自己。比赛中作者与哥哥比分胶着，关键时刻作者失误，在观众呼喊亚伦名字、自己濒临放弃时，最终调整状态赢得比赛，摆脱“亚伦弟弟”标签的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“人群呼喊着‘亚伦’的名字，我濒临放弃。”可知，第一段可描写作者在观众的呼喊声中，回想起一直活在哥哥阴影下的不甘，从而调整状态，奋力反击，最终抓住机会得分，打破哥哥不败纪录的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“比赛结束的哨声响起，我取得了最终的胜利。”可知，第二段可描写作者获胜后的激动表现，哥哥对作者的祝贺，以及观众对作者的认可，作者终于摆脱哥哥标签、证明自己的感悟。 2. 续写线索：濒临放弃——回想不甘——调整反击——抓住机会——击败哥哥——获胜激动——哥哥祝贺——观众认可——证明自己 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①咬紧牙关：grit one’s teeth/clench one’s teeth ②大声喊叫：yell/shout/cry out ③走过来：walk over/come up/make one’s way 情绪类 ①惊讶：astonished /shocked/surprised ②兴奋：with excitement/excitedly/ 【点睛】[高分句型1] However, the sun cast Aaron’s image over me, reminding me that I would always be walking in his shadow if I couldn’t prove myself.（运用了现在分词短语作状语，that引导宾语从句以及if引导条件状语从句） [高分句型2] Exhausted as I was, I calmed myself down, gritted my teeth and strove to catch every ball.（运用了as引导让步状语从句，部分倒装） [高分句型3] I replied, a toothy smile spreading across my sweaty face.（运用了独立主格结构作状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
