C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了Urban Bike Shop举办的为期5天的自制自行车工坊活动。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Our committed trainers will take you through step by step instructions in this 5 day workshop to guide you in building your own bike. This workshop will not only provide a satisfying hands on experience but will also expand your knowledge of bike parts, how they work and how to maintain them.(我们敬业的教练将在这个为期5天的工坊里为您提供逐步指导，引导您打造自己的自行车。这个工坊不仅会提供令人满意的实践体验，还会拓展您对自行车部件、它们的工作原理以及如何保养它们的知识)”可知，参与者在工坊中可以获得制造自行车的专门知识。故选B项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据文中“Course Fees: $500 per participant (课程费用：每位学员500美元)”以及第二张图表中“10% Early Bird Discount For Sign ups Before 1 April (4月1日前报名可享9折优惠)”和“*Membership entitles you to an additional cash discount of $30(*会员资格使您享有30美元的额外现金折扣)”可知，课程费用每人500美元，4月1日前报名有10%的早鸟折扣，会员还有额外30美元的现金折扣。3月报名属于早鸟优惠，先打九折，500×(1-10%) = 450美元，会员再减去30美元，450-30 = 420美元。所以Urban Bike Shop的会员3月报名需支付420美元。故选A项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“To promote the joy of cycling and serve as a platform where cyclists can set fitness goals, achieve them, and be rewarded for their efforts, we hope to connect cyclists and inspire them to share their experiences with our year long events.(为了推广骑行的乐趣，成为一个让骑行者可以设定健身目标、实现目标并因努力而获得奖励的平台，我们希望通过全年的活动将骑行者联系起来，并激励他们分享自己的经验)”可知，Urban Bike Shop的长期目标是为骑行者创建一个互动网络。故选C项。 B It has been five years since I left my staff job and became self-employed. I remember my terror as I walked out of the office for the last time and the excitement when I sold my first piece days later. Working for yourself, setting your own hours and being responsible for your success or failure are exciting. I left my job just as summer was starting, and my first few months were as blissful as the fair days. When winter came, an office where someone else paid for the central heating and my salary was guaranteed seemed attractive. January is tough for freelancers (自由职业者), and it was no different for me — after masses of work, I earned none. I shared my fears with some businesswomen I knew — what if the reality would be more like what I was experiencing? Whether through choice or circumstance, the number of freelancers is rising and, if you’re just starting out, it is scary. I’ve been lucky that these women making money their own way shared key lessons about what it takes. You can’t feel half-hearted about what you do because, at some point, you’re going to have painful days. When that happens, you have to remember why you wanted this life in the first place. Don’t quit your job for something that you think might be more interesting, quit it for something you can’t stop thinking about. Setting up a business is tough. Rather than waiting until all is perfect, go for the moment when it feels as if momentum (势头) is with you. Look after yourself. There is no sick pay when you are self-employed. You can’t do a bad day’s work and blame it on your boss. You are the backbone of your business and you need to prioritize your health and well-being. Rest regularly and find like-minded people to support you and lift you up when things get hard. Finally, enjoy it. Freedom is yours and, if you can make it work, there is nothing better. 4. What does the underlined word “blissful” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Pleasant. B. challenging. C. Awful. D. Boring. 5. What bothered the author when winter came? A. The cold weather influenced her working performance. B. She eventually realized freelancing wasn’t to her taste. C Masses of freelancing work brought her much anxiety. D. She couldn’t even earn enough to meet daily basics. 6. According to the author, why should we quit for a new job? A. To escape from the current pain. B. To satisfy our temporary interests. C. To explore where our strength lies. D. To pursue what we really desire. 7. What’s author’s probable attitude towards becoming freelancers? A. Critical. B. Favorable. C. Cautious. D. Unclear. 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文，主要讲述了作者离开了稳定的工作，成为了一个自由职业者，并通过其在离职后经历的困难为那些打算成为自由职业者的人们提供了自己的建议，并明确支持自由就业。 【4题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第一段的“It has been five years since I left my staff job and became self-employed. I remember my terror as I walked out of the office for the last time and the excitement when I sold my first piece days later. Working for yourself, setting your own hours and being responsible for your success or failure are exciting. I left my job just as summer was starting, and my first few months were as blissful as the fair days.(自从我离开我的员工工作成为个体户已经五年了。我还记得最后一次走出办公室时的恐惧，以及几天后卖出第一件作品时的兴奋。为自己工作，设定自己的时间，对自己的成功或失败负责，这些都是令人兴奋的。夏天刚开始，我就离开了我的工作，我的头几个月就像晴天一样blissful。)”可知，作者做自由职业者的初始几个月是很顺利的，因此心情很愉快。blissful意为“快乐的，愉悦的”，与Pleasant意思一致。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“When winter came, an office where someone else paid for the central heating and my salary was guaranteed seemed attractive. January is tough for freelancers, and it was no different for me — after masses of work, I earned none.(当冬天来临的时候，一间由别人支付中央供暖费用并保证我的工资的办公室似乎很有吸引力。一月对于自由职业者来说是艰难的，对我来说也一样——在做了大量的工作之后，我一无所获。)”可知，作者在1月的冬天遭遇了挫折，做了大量的工作之后一无所获，甚至挣不到足够的钱来维持供暖这样的日常基本生活开支。故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段的“Don’t quit your job for something that you think might be more interesting, quit it for something you can’t stop thinking about.(不要因为你认为可能更有趣的事情而辞职，要因为你无法停止思考的事情而辞职。)”可知，作者认为辞职去找一份新工作是因为心中放不下自己想做的事情，即要去追求我们真正渴望的东西。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“Finally, enjoy it. Freedom is yours and, if you can make it work, there is nothing better.(最后，享受它。自由是你的，如果你能让它发挥作用，那就再好不过了。)”可知，作者对从事自由职业持支持态度。故选B。 C The male western tanager (唐纳雀) looks like a little flame, while females are less showy, a dusty yellow. In the spring, they prepare to move thousands of miles to the Mountain West of Central America, flying through grasslands, deserts, and occasionally, suburban yards. To fuel them on their lengthy journey, western tanagers fill up on insects and berries. But as global climate change causes spring to start earlier, birds such as western tanagers are arriving at their destination after what’s known as “green-up”, when flowers begin blooming and insects emerge. According to a study published in early March in the journal PNAS, this kind of timing mismatch between migrants (迁移动物) and their food sources, which is happening across North America, could have serious consequences for migratory birds’ survival. “In discussing climate change, we often focus on warming,” says Scott Loss, a co-author of the study. “But the length and timing of seasons — like when winter ends and spring begins — are some of the most dramatic effects of climate change.” Loss and his colleagues used satellite imagery from 2002 to 2021 to calculate the average start of spring green-up along the typical migration routes of 150 North American bird species, then compared that timing with the current green-up. They found that spring is indeed beginning earlier along birds’ migration routes. “By contrary, previous studies have mainly focused on songbirds in Eastern North America,” says Morgan Tingley, an ornithologist at UCLA, “but this new investigation shows that bird species in the West and at different levels of the food web might be just as vulnerable (脆弱的).” “Part of it is knowing which species are vulnerable to various threats,” Loss says. “This adds to the knowledge about vulnerability of a wide range of bird species.” And he hopes that the information will serve to highlight the urgent need to lower greenhouse-gas emissions as fast as possible. “It’s really important, if we can’t address climate change immediately, to try to stop habitat loss as much as we can.” 8. What may pose a direct threat to western tanagers’ survival? A. Global warming. B. The duration of changing seasons. C. Loss of habitats due to human activities. D. Decreased access to foods during migration. 9. What is unique about the new study on birds like western tanagers? A. It covers a wider geographic range. B. It reveals the decline in bird populations. C. It centers on the adaptation of bird species. D. It ensures the existence of a timing mismatch. 10. What does Loss suggest we do to safeguard migratory birds? A. Lessen the effects of climate change. B. Preserve ecosystems for bird species. C. Address emissions and habitat loss. D. Expand researches on threats to birds. 11. Where is the text most likely from? A. A scientific journal. B. A bird-watching guidebook. C. A website about climate change. D. A magazine about wildlife conservation. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章从唐纳雀入手，分析北美迁移鸟类面临的挑战及其原因，最后提出建议：希望尽快减少温室气体的排放，尽可能地阻止栖息地的丧失。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。由第二段中“To fuel them on their lengthy journey, western tanagers fill up on insects and berries. But as global climate change causes spring to start earlier, birds such as western tanagers are arriving at their destination after what’s known as “green-up”, when flowers begin blooming and insects emerge. According to a study published in early March in the journal PNAS, this kind of timing mismatch between migrants (迁移动物) and their food sources, which is happening across North America, could have serious consequences for migratory birds’ survival. (为了在漫长的旅途中补充能量，西方唐纳雀以昆虫和浆果为食。但随着全球气候变化导致春天提前到来，像唐纳雀这样的鸟类在所谓的“返青”之后才到达目的地，这时花朵开始绽放，昆虫开始出现。根据3月初发表在《美国科学院院刊》上的一项研究，这种迁移动物和它们的食物来源之间的时间不匹配，正在北美各地发生，可能会对候鸟的生存产生严重后果。)”可知，随着全球气候变化导致春季提前开始，唐纳德雀迁徙期间获得食物的机会减少。故选D项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。由第三段中的““By contrary, previous studies have mainly focused on songbirds in Eastern North America,” says Morgan Tingley, an ornithologist at UCLA, “but this new investigation shows that bird species in the West and at different levels of the food web might be just as vulnerable (脆弱的).” (“相反，以前的研究主要集中在北美东部的鸣禽上，”加州大学洛杉矶分校的鸟类学Morgan Tingley说，“但这项新的调查表明，西部和食物网不同层次的鸟类物种可能同样脆弱。”)”可知，先前的研究的是北美东部的鸣禽，这项关于像西部唐纳雀这样的鸟类的新研究的独特之处在于它覆盖了更广泛的地理范围，不仅关注东北美地区的鸣禽，也包括西部及食物链不同层级上的鸟类。故选A项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。由最后一段“And he hopes that the information will serve to highlight the urgent need to lower greenhouse-gas emissions as fast as possible. “It’s really important, if we can’t address climate change immediately, to try to stop habitat loss as much as we can.” (他希望这些信息将有助于强调尽快降低温室气体排放的迫切需要。“如果我们不能立即解决气候变化问题，那么尽我们所能阻止栖息地的丧失是非常重要的。”)”可知，作者期望能够尽快减少温室气体的排放，尽可能地阻止栖息地的丧失。故选C项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是由第二段中的“To fuel them on their lengthy journey, western tanagers fill up on insects and berries. But as global climate change causes spring to start earlier, birds such as western tanagers are arriving at their destination after what’s known as “green-up”, when flowers begin blooming and insects emerge. According to a study published in early March in the journal PNAS, this kind of timing mismatch between migrants (迁移动物) and their food sources, which is happening across North America, could have serious consequences for migratory birds’ survival.

If so, you are not alone. It seems like the same dreams keep following us. Recurring (反复发生) dreams are a common phenomenon. Sometimes they’re nearly identical each time they occur, but they may also have recurring themes, locations or characters set against different backgrounds. This change sets them apart from nightmares (梦魇) caused by PTSD, a psychological condition in which people relive specific memories from their waking life with far less variation while asleep. Recent studies have justified the long-held idea that recurring dreams are often — but not always — bad ones. The reasons why we might have a greater tendency for negative dreams are not fully understood, but Michael Schredl, a researcher from Germany, says dreams typically overstate something in our waking life — even a small feeling or minor situation we feel powerless to change. “In the dream, it becomes a much bigger emotion, although the connection isn’t always straightforward,” he explains. Psychology and neuroscience offer additional clues. For example we are subject to what’s known as negativity prejudice: a tendency to focus more upon unpleasant thoughts, emotions or social interactions than on positive ones. This behavior is rooted in our subconscious (潜意识) need to resolve negative situations that threaten our survival. Negativity bias may be worsened in sleep because our dreaming brain holds back the areas associated with logic and activates parts associated with emotion. Nirit Soffer-Dudek, a consciousness researcher at Ben-Gurion University in Israel, recommends developing good “sleep hygiene (卫生)”. By setting a consistent sleep schedule, limiting screen use and avoiding caffeine or alcohol before bed, “you’re less likely to fall asleep while still in a heightened emotional state,” she says. “The best advice I can give is to try to guarantee strong boundaries between your waking time and sleep to avoid bringing anxiety into your dreams.” 12. How do recurring dreams differ from PTSD-related nightmares? A. Recurring dreams have more variation. B. Recurring dreams are less vivid. C. PTSD-related nightmares have more themes. D. PTSD-related nightmares are less frequent. 13. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A. The significance of subconscious behavior. B. The limitation of emotional activation. C. The possible reason for negative dreams. D. The solution to worsened sleep. 14. What does Nirit suggest people do? A. Stop the use of electronic devices. B. Extend waking-and-sleeping boundaries. C. Keep a regular sleep routine. D. Consume some alcohol before bed. 15. What is a suitable title for this text? A. Battle against poor sleep B. Take a look at recurring dreams C. Cope with negativity prejudice D. Keep an eye on mental health 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨反复出现的梦境的特点、与创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）相关噩梦的区别、产生负面梦境的可能原因及改善建议。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Recurring (反复发生) dreams are a common phenomenon. Sometimes they’re nearly identical each time they occur, but they may also have recurring themes, locations or characters set against different backgrounds. This change sets them apart from nightmares (梦魇) caused by PTSD, a psychological condition in which people relive specific memories from their waking life with far less variation while asleep. (反复出现的梦境是一种常见现象。有时它们每次出现都几乎相同，但也可能在不同的背景下有反复出现的主题、地点或人物。这种变化将它们与创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）引发的噩梦区分开来，创伤后应激障碍是一种心理状况，患者在睡眠中会重温清醒生活中的特定记忆，且变化少得多)”可知，反复出现的梦境因“有更多变化”而不同于PTSD相关噩梦，后者“变化少得多”。故选A项。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“Psychology and neuroscience offer additional clues. For example, we are subject to what’s known as negativity prejudice: a tendency to focus more upon unpleasant thoughts, emotions or social interactions than on positive ones. This behavior is rooted in our subconscious (潜意识) need to resolve negative situations that threaten our survival. Negativity bias may be worsened in sleep because our dreaming brain holds back the areas associated with logic and activates parts associated with emotion. (心理学和神经科学提供了更多线索。例如，我们会受到所谓的“负面偏见”的影响：一种更关注不愉快的想法、情绪或社会互动而非积极方面的倾向。这种行为源于我们潜意识中解决威胁生存的负面情况的需求。睡眠中，负面偏见可能会加剧，因为我们做梦时大脑抑制了与逻辑相关的区域，激活了与情感相关的部分)”可知，整段围绕“负面梦境的可能原因”展开，解释了负面偏见的存在以及睡眠中大脑的活动对负面梦境产生的影响。故选C项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Nirit Soffer-Dudek, a consciousness researcher at Ben-Gurion University in Israel, recommends developing good “sleep hygiene (卫生)”. By setting a consistent sleep schedule, limiting screen use and avoiding caffeine or alcohol before bed, “you’re less likely to fall asleep while still in a heightened emotional state,” she says. “The best advice I can give is to try to guarantee strong boundaries between your waking time and sleep to avoid bringing anxiety into your dreams.” (以色列本-古里安大学的意识研究Nirit Soffer-Dudek建议养成良好的“睡眠卫生”习惯。通过设定一致的睡眠时间表、限制屏幕使用以及睡前避免摄入咖啡因或酒精，“你就不太可能在情绪仍处于高度兴奋的状态下入睡，”她说。“我能给出的最好建议是，尽量确保清醒时间和睡眠时间之间有明确的界限，以避免将焦虑带入你的梦境。”)”可知，她建议“保持规律的睡眠习惯”。故选C项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，文章第一段引出现象，提到人们可能会有反复出现的梦境；第二段区分其与PTSD噩梦的差异，说明反复出现的梦境有更多变化；第三、四段分析负面梦境的原因，包括大脑的负面偏见以及睡眠中大脑区域的活动；最后一段提出改善建议，如养成良好的睡眠卫生习惯，由此可知，全文围绕“反复出现的梦境”展开。由此可知，“审视反复出现的梦境”全面概括文章主题，适合作为最佳标题。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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 A majority of the people do not read the classics. Their reasons begin with the language being too difficult and end with the storyline too distant to the present context. Love for classics is obviously not at first sight. ___16___ We begin as acquaintances (泛泛之交) and eventually become close friends with private jokes between us. So how does one approach a classic? Don’t be afraid to be confused. We get it: it’s hard to power through confusion. It doesn’t feel great when a book makes you feel confused. Every reader has to start somewhere. ___17___ Instead, be proud of yourself for trying, and get excited about all the new things you’ll learn. Research, research, research. ___18___ Researching the author-and the time and place they were writing about-can help you situate yourself during tricky passages. The author’s experience, viewpoint, and historical context might help you make the connections you might not have otherwise. Just pick the book up. This step is self-explanatory. While it’s not hard to just pick a book up, we know how difficult it can be to convince yourself to do so. ___19___ Take a deep breath, then leap onto the deck (甲板) of Melville’s Pequod or step cautiously through the gates of Castle Dracula. Remember: there is no right answer. There is no perfect way to read a classic text. There is no defining interpretation, no singular, exact answer. Your goal as a reader is to discover what aspects and insights are meaningful to you. Enjoy the process. ___20___ Even if your interpretation of the work isn’t quite perfect, it is still valuable! A. It is a gradual affair. B. Allow the book to grow with you. C. It has some form of historical influence. D. Before you turn to page one, do some digging. E. Never beat yourself up for not knowing something. F. Remind yourself that it’s a new learning opportunity. G. Consider what confuses you, read with intention, and think critically. 【答案】16. A 17. E 18. D 19. F 20. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了如何阅读经典书籍的方法。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Love for classics is obviously not at first sight. (对经典的喜爱显然不是一见钟情)”及下文“We begin as acquaintances (泛泛之交) and eventually become close friends with private jokes between us. (我们开始是熟人，最终因为私下里的笑话而成为亲密的朋友)”可知，对经典的喜爱是一个循序渐进的过程。由此可知，A. It is a gradual affair. (这是一个循序渐进的过程)能够承上启下，符合语境。故选A。 【17题详解】 根据下文“Instead, be proud of yourself for trying, and get excited about all the new things you’ll learn. (相反，你应该为自己的尝试感到自豪，并为你将学到的所有新事物感到兴奋)”可知，此处与下文形成转折关系。由此可知，E. Never beat yourself up for not knowing something. (永远不要因为不知道而责怪自己)能够与下文形成语义的转折，符合语境。故选E。 【18题详解】 根据本段小标题“Research, research, research. (研究，研究，再研究)”可知，本段主要建议要做研究。由此可知，D. Before you turn to page one, do some digging. (在你翻到第一页之前，做一些调查)符合本段主旨，符合语境。故选D。 【19题详解】 根据下文“Take a deep breath, then leap onto the deck (甲板) of Melville’s Pequod or step cautiously through the gates of Castle Dracula. (深吸一口气，然后跳上梅尔维尔的《裴廓德号》的甲板，或者小心翼翼地穿过德古拉城堡的大门)”可知，此处在讲述读书的具体做法。由此可知，F. Remind yourself that it’s a new learning opportunity. (提醒自己这是一个新的学习机会)能够衔接下文，属于真正开始读书前的思想准备工作，符合语境。故选F。 【20题详解】 根据上文“There is no perfect way to read a classic text. There is no defining interpretation, no singular, exact answer. Your goal as a reader is to discover what aspects and insights are meaningful to you. Enjoy the process.(阅读经典文本没有完美的方法。没有明确的解释，没有单一的、精确的答案。作为读者，你的目标是发现哪些方面和见解对你有意义。享受这个过程)”可知，阅读经典文本时，应用进行思考。由此可知，G. Consider what confuses you, read with intention, and think critically. (思考让你困惑的是什么，用心阅读，批判性思考)能够衔接上文，符合语境。故选G。 第三部分 语言知识运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I once worked in the remote but beautiful countryside. All farm work can, in my experience, ____21____ a person to develop a Spartan (斯巴达式的) spirit. From the age of eight, I had to contribute my share of ____22____ along with my parents and two elder brothers. On the hottest summer days when the air ____23____ flowed, I knelt in a paddy field (稻田) with my knees deep in mud. The bugs and worms in the water ____24____ into my skin, and the sun burned upon my ____25____ back. Sweat streamed down; if a drop ran into the eyes, it would ____26____ tears. So I always kept my face as low as possible. I told myself, “Be ____27____!” If my parents and brothers could go on taking it, so could I. ____28____ I pulled myself together and dragged myself forward.

What 45. approximately 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了故宫博物院北部分馆的建设情况、功能特点及未来展览规划。 【36题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：故宫博物院北部分馆的建设是北京2025年主要文化项目之一，预计将于10月完工。“be expected to do sth.” 为固定搭配，且the northern branch与complete之间是被动关系，所以用不定式的被动形式to be completed，表示“预计被完成”。故填to be completed。 【37题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：新分馆占地超过10万平方米，目前正处于主体结构施工阶段，主要建筑逐渐成形。空处引导定语从句，修饰先行词stage，且在定语从句中作地点状语，表示抽象概念的地点，所以空处需用关系副词where引导定语从句。故填where。 【38题详解】 考查介词。句意：新分馆占地超过10万平方米，目前正处于主体结构施工阶段，主要建筑逐渐成形。根据空后“the main buildings gradually taking shape.”可知，此处表示伴随，所以空处需用介词with，构成with复合结构作状语。故填with。 【39题详解】 考查名词复数。句意：分馆建筑的外表面有红墙和金色的屋顶，与故宫的建筑美学相匹配。根据空前golden可知，空处需用名词作宾语，roof“屋顶”为可数名词，结合语境可知，此处表示泛指，所以空处需用名词复数形式roofs。故填roofs。 【40题详解】 考查冠词。句意：一旦建成，北部分馆将为故宫的文物修复项目提供更大的空间。根据空后expanded space可知，空处表示泛指，所以空处需用不定冠词，expanded是以元音音素开头的单词，所以空处需用不定冠词an。故填an。 【41题详解】 考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：故宫博物院目前收藏有超过186万件文物。根据时间状语currently可知，空处谓语动词需用一般现在时态，主语是单数The Palace Museum，所以空处谓语动词需用第三人称单数形式。故填houses。 【42题详解】 考查名词。句意：为了更好地保护这些文物，新的北部分馆采用了开创性的建筑技术，注重稳定性。空处需用名词作介词on的宾语，stable的名词为stability“稳定性”，不可数名词。故填stability。 【43题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：当形成小于0.6毫米的裂缝时，先进的混凝土将能够“自我修复”，大大延长了建筑物的使用寿命。空处需用非谓语动词作结果状语，结合句意可知，此处表示自然而然的结果，所以空处需用现在分词形式作结果状语。故填enhancing。 【44题详解】 考查主语从句。句意：需要强调的是，文物修复并不是该分馆的唯一目标。空处需用连接词引导主语从句，从句缺少主语，表示具体的内容，所以空处需用连接代词what引导主语从句，句首单词首字母需大写。故填What。 【45题详解】 考查副词。句意：一旦建成，新设施将设有12个采用高科技设计的展厅，占地面积约3.5万平方米。空处需用副词作状语修饰动词covering，approximate的副词为approximately“大约”。故填approximately。 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，你想要拍摄一段主题为“The Charm of Chinese Culture”的英文短视频发到你的社交媒体上，向外国网友介绍中国文化。请你发一封英文帖子，内容包括： 1. 介绍拍摄计划； 2. 询问网友的兴趣； 3. 诚邀来华体验中国文化。 注意： 1. 写作词数应为80左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Version1: Hey there, everyone!

It was a message from Ryan: “Meet at the park in 15 minutes?” Jake smiled. It had been a long week of school, and he couldn’t wait to play basketball with his friends. Just as he was heading out, his mom called from the kitchen. “Jake! Come back! I need your help with the storage room.” “But Mom, I told Ryan I’d meet him at the park,” Jake protested. “We talked about this. Grandma is moving in this weekend, so we need to clean out the storage room to make space for her.” “Grandma?” Jake thought, the word feeling almost foreign on his tongue. He didn’t even know her that well — it had been years since she last visited, and now she was moving in? He couldn’t believe he had to give up his Saturday for someone he barely knew. With complaints and sighs, he kicked at the floor as he trudged down the hallway, dragging his feet like they weighed a ton. Stepping into the storage room, his nose wrinkled in disgust. The place was a disaster. Spiderwebs drooped from every corner, and dust swirled in the sunlight like dirty smoke. Boxes teetered in unstable stacks, a rolled-up carpet with worn edges lay half-spilled across the floor, and forgotten junk crowded every inch. Jake let out a long, dramatic sigh — this job was going to take forever. Just as he was about to give up and sneak a text to Ryan, a faded blue album tucked at the bottom of the suitcase caught his eye. Faint words were etched on its leather cover: Stories with Jake (To Be Continued…). He pulled it out and flipped it open—the pages were filled with moments of him and his grandmother. On the very first page was a photo — On the very first page was a photo: his grandmother, much younger then, cradling a tiny baby wrapped in a soft blanket. At the bottom of the photo he saw some words in careful handwriting: “Glad to meet you, baby Jake.” 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。 Paragraph 1: As he flipped through more photos, his eyes began to mist. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Next morning, when his grandmother stepped into her new room, Jake handed her the album. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 As he flipped through more photos, Jake’s eyes began to mist. There were pictures of him as a baby, always in his grandmother’s arms — smiling, feeding him, helping him take his first steps. He hadn’t remembered any of it, but the photos told a story of love and time shared. His anger from earlier now felt silly. Taking a deep breath, he set the album aside and got to work. He rolled up the old carpet, stacked boxes neatly, and swept the floor, stirring up clouds of dust. Spiderwebs clung to his sleeves, but he didn’t stop. The room slowly changed from a forgotten mess to a clean, welcoming space. As sunlight streamed in, Jake looked around and smiled. Maybe this wasn’t such a bad way to spend a Saturday. Next morning, when his grandmother stepped into her new room, Jake handed her the album. She blinked in surprise, then smiled softly as she ran her fingers over the worn cover. “You found this?” she asked. Jake nodded.” I didn’t know we had so many memories.” They sat together on the edge of the bed, flipping through the pages. She laughed at some photos, explained others, and paused with misty eyes at a few. When they reached the last page, Jake grinned. “Let’s add a new one.” He grabbed his phone, held it out, and the two leaned in close. “Say cheese!” Click. A fresh photo joined the album—Jake and his grandmother, smiling side by side, ready to continue their story together. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了Jake原本计划周六和朋友打篮球，但被妈妈要求帮忙清理储藏室以迎接即将搬来奶奶的故事。在清理过程中，Jake发现了一本记录了他和奶奶过去时光的相册，这让他对奶奶产生了新的认识。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“当他翻看更多照片时，他的眼睛开始湿润了。”可知，第一段可描写Jake在翻看相册时，看到了自己和奶奶过去的照片，感受到了奶奶的爱，从而改变了之前对奶奶搬来的不满态度，开始认真清理储藏室。 ②由第二段首句内容“第二天早上，当他的奶奶走进她的新房间时，Jake把相册递给了她。”可知，第二段可描写Jake把相册送给奶奶，两人一起翻看相册，回忆过去，并决定一起继续他们的故事，拍了一张新的照片加入相册。 2.续写线索：发现相册——翻看照片——感受奶奶的爱——改变态度——认真清理——奶奶走进房间——把相册送给奶奶——一起翻看——决定继续故事——拍摄新照片 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①开始工作：get to work/start working ②深呼吸：take a deep breath/inhale deeply ③放置：set aside/put aside/place aside 情绪类 ①生气：anger/rage ②惊讶地：in surprise/in amazement 【点睛】【高分句型1】She blinked in surprise, then smiled softly as she ran her fingers over the worn cover.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句） 【高分句型2】When they reached the last page, Jake grinned.（运用了when引导的时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024-2025学年度第二学期高二年级期末考试 英语试题(卷) (考试时间120分钟 满分150分) 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题：每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话，每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你能有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一个题，每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

B It has been five years since I left my staff job and became self-employed. I remember my terror as I walked out of the office for the last time and the excitement when I sold my first piece days later. Working for yourself, setting your own hours and being responsible for your success or failure are exciting. I left my job just as summer was starting, and my first few months were as blissful as the fair days. When winter came, an office where someone else paid for the central heating and my salary was guaranteed seemed attractive. January is tough for freelancers (自由职业者), and it was no different for me — after masses of work, I earned none. I shared my fears with some businesswomen I knew — what if the reality would be more like what I was experiencing? Whether through choice or circumstance, the number of freelancers is rising and, if you’re just starting out, it is scary. I’ve been lucky that these women making money their own way shared key lessons about what it takes. You can’t feel half-hearted about what you do because, at some point, you’re going to have painful days. When that happens, you have to remember why you wanted this life in the first place. Don’t quit your job for something that you think might be more interesting, quit it for something you can’t stop thinking about. Setting up a business is tough. Rather than waiting until all is perfect, go for the moment when it feels as if momentum (势头) is with you. Look after yourself. There is no sick pay when you are self-employed. You can’t do a bad day’s work and blame it on your boss. You are the backbone of your business and you need to prioritize your health and well-being. Rest regularly and find like-minded people to support you and lift you up when things get hard. Finally, enjoy it. Freedom is yours and, if you can make it work, there is nothing better. 4. What does the underlined word “blissful” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Pleasant. B. challenging. C. Awful. D. Boring. 5. What bothered the author when winter came? A The cold weather influenced her working performance. B. She eventually realized freelancing wasn’t to her taste. C. Masses of freelancing work brought her much anxiety. D. She couldn’t even earn enough to meet daily basics. 6. According to the author, why should we quit for a new job? A. To escape from the current pain. B. To satisfy our temporary interests. C. To explore where our strength lies. D. To pursue what we really desire. 7. What’s author’s probable attitude towards becoming freelancers? A. Critical. B. Favorable. C. Cautious. D. Unclear. C The male western tanager (唐纳雀) looks like a little flame, while females are less showy, a dusty yellow. In the spring, they prepare to move thousands of miles to the Mountain West of Central America, flying through grasslands, deserts, and occasionally, suburban yards. To fuel them on their lengthy journey, western tanagers fill up on insects and berries. But as global climate change causes spring to start earlier, birds such as western tanagers are arriving at their destination after what’s known as “green-up”, when flowers begin blooming and insects emerge. According to a study published in early March in the journal PNAS, this kind of timing mismatch between migrants (迁移动物) and their food sources, which is happening across North America, could have serious consequences for migratory birds’ survival. “In discussing climate change, we often focus on warming,” says Scott Loss, a co-author of the study. “But the length and timing of seasons — like when winter ends and spring begins — are some of the most dramatic effects of climate change.” Loss and his colleagues used satellite imagery from 2002 to 2021 to calculate the average start of spring green-up along the typical migration routes of 150 North American bird species, then compared that timing with the current green-up. They found that spring is indeed beginning earlier along birds’ migration routes. “By contrary, previous studies have mainly focused on songbirds in Eastern North America,” says Morgan Tingley, an ornithologist at UCLA, “but this new investigation shows that bird species in the West and at different levels of the food web might be just as vulnerable (脆弱的).” “Part of it is knowing which species are vulnerable to various threats,” Loss says. “This adds to the knowledge about vulnerability of a wide range of bird species.” And he hopes that the information will serve to highlight the urgent need to lower greenhouse-gas emissions as fast as possible. “It’s really important, if we can’t address climate change immediately, to try to stop habitat loss as much as we can.” 8. What may pose a direct threat to western tanagers’ survival? A. Global warming. B. The duration of changing seasons. C. Loss of habitats due to human activities. D. Decreased access to foods during migration. 9. What is unique about the new study on birds like western tanagers? A. It covers a wider geographic range. B. It reveals the decline in bird populations. C. It centers on the adaptation of bird species. D. It ensures the existence of a timing mismatch. 10. What does Loss suggest we do to safeguard migratory birds? A. Lessen the effects of climate change. B. Preserve ecosystems for bird species. C. Address emissions and habitat loss. D. Expand researches on threats to birds. 11. Where is the text most likely from? A. A scientific journal. B. A bird-watching guidebook. C. A website about climate change. D. A magazine about wildlife conservation. D Maybe you’ve dreamed of rising quickly like a bird since childhood, or you’ve recently started revisiting a particular place or time while asleep. If so, you are not alone. It seems like the same dreams keep following us. Recurring (反复发生) dreams are a common phenomenon. Sometimes they’re nearly identical each time they occur, but they may also have recurring themes, locations or characters set against different backgrounds. This change sets them apart from nightmares (梦魇) caused by PTSD, a psychological condition in which people relive specific memories from their waking life with far less variation while asleep. Recent studies have justified the long-held idea that recurring dreams are often — but not always — bad ones. The reasons why we might have a greater tendency for negative dreams are not fully understood, but Michael Schredl, a researcher from Germany, says dreams typically overstate something in our waking life — even a small feeling or minor situation we feel powerless to change. “In the dream, it becomes a much bigger emotion, although the connection isn’t always straightforward,” he explains. Psychology and neuroscience offer additional clues. For example, we are subject to what’s known as negativity prejudice: a tendency to focus more upon unpleasant thoughts, emotions or social interactions than on positive ones. This behavior is rooted in our subconscious (潜意识) need to resolve negative situations that threaten our survival. Negativity bias may be worsened in sleep because our dreaming brain holds back the areas associated with logic and activates parts associated with emotion. Nirit Soffer-Dudek, a consciousness researcher at Ben-Gurion University in Israel, recommends developing good “sleep hygiene (卫生)”. By setting a consistent sleep schedule, limiting screen use and avoiding caffeine or alcohol before bed, “you’re less likely to fall asleep while still in a heightened emotional state,” she says. “The best advice I can give is to try to guarantee strong boundaries between your waking time and sleep to avoid bringing anxiety into your dreams.” 12. How do recurring dreams differ from PTSD-related nightmares? A. Recurring dreams have more variation. B. Recurring dreams are less vivid. C. PTSD-related nightmares have more themes. D. PTSD-related nightmares are less frequent. 13. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A. The significance of subconscious behavior. B. The limitation of emotional activation. C. The possible reason for negative dreams. D. The solution to worsened sleep. 14. What does Nirit suggest people do? A. Stop the use of electronic devices. B. Extend waking-and-sleeping boundaries. C. Keep a regular sleep routine. D. Consume some alcohol before bed. 15. What is a suitable title for this text? A. Battle against poor sleep B. Take a look at recurring dreams C. Cope with negativity prejudice D. Keep an eye on mental health 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 A majority of the people do not read the classics. Their reasons begin with the language being too difficult and end with the storyline too distant to the present context. Love for classics is obviously not at first sight. ___16___ We begin as acquaintances (泛泛之交) and eventually become close friends with private jokes between us. So how does one approach a classic? Don’t be afraid to be confused. We get it: it’s hard to power through confusion. It doesn’t feel great when a book makes you feel confused. Every reader has to start somewhere. ___17___ Instead, be proud of yourself for trying, and get excited about all the new things you’ll learn. Research, research, research. ___18___ Researching the author-and the time and place they were writing about-can help you situate yourself during tricky passages. The author’s experience, viewpoint, and historical context might help you make the connections you might not have otherwise. Just pick the book up. This step is self-explanatory. While it’s not hard to just pick a book up, we know how difficult it can be to convince yourself to do so. ___19___ Take a deep breath, then leap onto the deck (甲板) of Melville’s Pequod or step cautiously through the gates of Castle Dracula. Remember: there is no right answer. There is no perfect way to read a classic text. There is no defining interpretation, no singular, exact answer. Your goal as a reader is to discover what aspects and insights are meaningful to you. Enjoy the process. ___20___ Even if your interpretation of the work isn’t quite perfect, it is still valuable! A. It is a gradual affair. B. Allow the book to grow with you. C. It has some form of historical influence. D. Before you turn to page one, do some digging. E. Never beat yourself up for not knowing something. F. Remind yourself that it’s a new learning opportunity. G. Consider what confuses you, read with intention, and think critically. 第三部分 语言知识运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I once worked in the remote but beautiful countryside.

It was a message from Ryan: “Meet at the park in 15 minutes?” Jake smiled. It had been a long week of school, and he couldn’t wait to play basketball with his friends. Just as he was heading out, his mom called from the kitchen. “Jake! Come back! I need your help with the storage room.” “But Mom, I told Ryan I’d meet him at the park,” Jake protested. “We talked about this. Grandma is moving in this weekend, so we need to clean out the storage room to make space for her.” “Grandma?” Jake thought, the word feeling almost foreign on his tongue. He didn’t even know her that well — it had been years since she last visited, and now she was moving in? He couldn’t believe he had to give up his Saturday for someone he barely knew. With complaints and sighs, he kicked at the floor as he trudged down the hallway, dragging his feet like they weighed a ton. Stepping into the storage room, his nose wrinkled in disgust. The place was a disaster. Spiderwebs drooped from every corner, and dust swirled in the sunlight like dirty smoke. Boxes teetered in unstable stacks, a rolled-up carpet with worn edges lay half-spilled across the floor, and forgotten junk crowded every inch. Jake let out a long, dramatic sigh — this job was going to take forever. Just as he was about to give up and sneak a text to Ryan, a faded blue album tucked at the bottom of the suitcase caught his eye. Faint words were etched on its leather cover: Stories with Jake (To Be Continued…). He pulled it out and flipped it open—the pages were filled with moments of him and his grandmother. On the very first page was a photo — On the very first page was a photo: his grandmother, much younger then, cradling a tiny baby wrapped in a soft blanket. At the bottom of the photo he saw some words in careful handwriting: “Glad to meet you, baby Jake.” 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。 Paragraph 1: As he flipped through more photos, his eyes began to mist. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Next morning, when his grandmother stepped into her new room, Jake handed her the album. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
