This collection of Chicago’s best restaurants provides answers to the classic question. Luella’s Southern Kitchen TEL (773) 961-8196 This restaurant serves some of the city’s best Southern food, including shrimp, fried chicken and waffles. This restaurant on the North Side is also a popular brunch destination. It’s a casual spot with counter ordering, but it brings a serious menu where everyone can find something hearty. Community Tavern TEL (773) 283-6080 Nowadays, the restaurant has expanded its menu away from its origins as a neighborhood steakhouse. But fortunately, the neighborhood aspect remains. The bar program is rich, and kids under 12 eat free on certain days. The menu keeps innovating, which isn’t a bad thing. For example, there’s a section of Asian-style dumplings, including one stuffed with mushroom butter. Smoque BBQ TEL (773) 545-7427 With two smokers to prepare St. Louis- style roast meat, this destination in the Northwest Side neighborhood of Irving Park delivers barbecue in the styles of Kansas City and Memphis. During the pandemic, Barry Sorkin, the owner, expanded takeout and outdoor dining options, including a patio in the former parking lot. Pat’s Pizza TEL (773) 248-0168 Chicago thin-crust pizza is having a moment, with the city’s pizza- makers eager to protest the convention that here only serves thick- crust pizza. Pat’s Pizza has a storied history of popularizing thin-crust pizza. This family-owned spot proudly makes some of the crispiest, thinnest pizzas around. Pat’s uses its own sausage, which also helps set its flavor apart. Pizzas are available for takeout, delivery, patio, and indoor dining. 21. What number should you call if you want to eat brunch? A.

People can eat Asian food here. D. People can eat free on certain days. 23. What do Smoque BBQ and Pat’s Pizza have in common? A. They offer BBQ and pizza. B. They offer takeout service. C. They have free parking. D. They have a long history. B Over the last 15 years, Lee Anne Barnes has gone from a couch potato to a marathoner. The Mississippi teacher said she’s lost about 150 pounds since 2008, and has fulfilled a longtime dream — to run and finish the New York City(NYC) Marathon. “It was a dream that came true. I’ve been wanting to do it for 12 years,” Barnes said. Barnes has come a long way over the past decade. At one point, she weighed nearly 300 pounds. “I did have a big setback around 2018, but I got myself together and persevered (坚持不懈) and got with it again,” she said. Running has been an essential part for Barnes. She has so far run many half marathons and four full marathons. “I can say my life is definitely better, not only for getting mentally and physically healthy but for meeting incredible people along,” Barnes said of her experience with running. Although it wasn’t her first marathon, Barnes said the NYC Marathon was still a challenging run. At mile 18, she said she started having “sharp back spasms (痉挛)”, but despite it all, she would not exchange the experience for anything. “The goal might not be exactly what you want, but you will persevere through it and try your best to reach the end goal.” In the end, Barnes completed the NYC Marathon with a final time of 6 hours, 58 minutes and 53 seconds. “I credit everyone for my achievements. The crowds are simply amazing. And I’m also inspired by the people I’ve encountered. Believe in yourself that you can do it, and start with small achievable and measurable goals. Find something you like to do and something that inspires and motivates you,” she said. Today, Barnes runs about five days a week and does both strength and cross training. She plans on running again soon, setting her sights on a half marathon in Arizona next February and running in all 50 states with her husband. She and her husband also hope to run the NYC Marathon together next year. 24. What does the first paragraph mainly talk about? A. Barnes managed to lose weight via surgery. B. Barnes has overcome setbacks in her life. C. Barnes has fulfilled her long-standing wish. D. Barnes has suffered a lot over the last 15 years. 25. What does Barnes try to convey in the second paragraph? A. She benefits a lot from running. B. She has been mentally cured. C. She has run a lot of marathons in her life. D. She wants to make friends through running. 26. What do we know about Barnes’ participation in the NYC Marathon? A. She highly treasured the experience. B. She finished it with the best record. C. She completed it without difficulty. D. She considered it the most challenging. 27. Which of the following can best describe Barnes? A. Demanding but patient. B. Stubborn but friendly. C. Warm-hearted and optimistic. D. Strong-willed and ambitious. C If you’ re asked to picture a successful leader, what do you see? If you’ re like most people, you imagine somebody who is decisive and in control. Somebody who seems to have little doubts about his or her actions. But that kind of thinking has it backward. In more than two decades of research into how leaders’ decision-making has an impact on organizational success, I’ve uncovered a surprising finding: The most effective leaders aren’t the ones who seem to have all the answers, but those who question themselves. They are, in other words, ambivalent. Ambivalent leaders aren’t decisive in the eyes of others and are often regarded as weak and too agreeable. But, our research reveals a different story. In one study of 164 consulting teams in Brazil, we found that leaders who were ambivalent discussed with more team members, and more frequently, than leaders who were less ambivalent. The openness of these leaders also inspired team members to seek more information from others. At the end of the project, customers rated these teams higher in their performance than teams led by decisive managers. My most recent research, of students at a university, showed similar results. We observed the students as they performed six-month class projects in teams. At the end of the projects, team members and leaders answered survey questions about each other. In the survey, team members were open to ambivalence in their leaders: The more ambivalent these leaders seemed to be about decisions, the more their team members felt the leaders were really good listeners. Ambivalent leaders, meanwhile, reported that their team members had higher levels of curiosity and creativity than leaders who were less ambivalent. Ambivalent leaders challenge traditional views of what leaders look like. But evidence shows, again and again, that their performance also eclipses decisive leaders. Ambivalence is a driving force behind critical thinking and joint decision-making. 28. What does the study of 164 teams suggest? A. Ambivalence reduces misunderstanding. B. Teamwork determines a leader’s authority. C. Customer ratings influence working atmosphere. D. Leaders’ openness encourages team interactions. 29. The author presents the research at the university in order to ________. A. support the previous findings B. compare varied research settings C. test the research methods used earlier D. discuss limitations of the former study 30. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “eclipses”? A. Inspires B. Satisfies. C. Promotes. D. Outshines. 31. What is the main writing purpose of the text? A. To compare leaders of different styles. B. To present a new idea about leadership. C. To doubt standards of successful leaders. D. To stress the role of personality in leadership. D It is not just the environment and the economy that are threatened by a warmer climate, but also culture and traditions around the world. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have mapped what little is known about how climate change is gradually destroying local knowledge and cultural heritage. “We risk losing the memory of native people’s ways of life without this type of documentation” says Guy Jackson at Lund University, one of the authors of a literature study. One conclusion of the study is that cultural heritage is primarily seen as something of material value, such as a historic building, and the loss is seen as a potential future problem, even though there is evidence that it is already happening. Focusing on material losses means that important traditions and knowledge systems are overlooked. “There are also many non-material losses that are valuable for both individual identity and group identity,” says Guy Jackson. The study shows a clear connection between loss of native cultural heritage and changes in the natural environment. For example, songs and working methods change when groups lose traditions linked to a physical location. One scientific article points out that identity is closely linked to the environment, “ Inuit people (因纽特人) in Canada are people of sea ice. If there is no. more sea ice, how can they be people of sea ice?” Loss of traditions and cultural heritage can make it more difficult to deal with climate change, and weaken social togetherness, as people lose touch with traditional ways of life. It also raises the question whether we can expect native people to protect and preserve rainforests and other ecosystems. The researchers hope that the literature study can read to more targeted research. They want to see a larger focus on how to handle, minimize and tackle future losses. “Science should contribute by developing practical solutions and strategies that help with adaptation to the losses that have already happened,” Guy Jackson concludes. 32. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs? A. Climate change causes cultural loss. B. The economy affects the environment. C. Cultural loss is a current problem. D. The native people are being forgotten. 33. What does the study show about the loss of native cultural heritage? A. It is seriously overestimated by scientists. B. It has brought great damage to Canadians. C. It has transformed global working methods. D. It is closely related to environmental changes. 34. What is paragraph 5 mainly about concerning the loss of traditions and cultural heritage? A. Its natural origins. B. Its negative results. C. Its potential reasons. D. Its effective solutions. 35. What is the main idea of the text? A. The unknown threats to the local knowledge. B. The practical solutions to some cultural issues. C. The climate change’s effect on culture and traditions. D. The various losses of important culture and traditions. 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。 Whether you’re heading out for a day trip or a quick weekend getaway (短期休假), we will share some travel tips in this guide to help you make your experience more enjoyable. ·Think about how you want to travel. ___36___ Sometimes it means the most enjoyable. Too much consideration on short journeys is not worth it. If you’ve got a preference for a certain means of transport, it’s often worth traveling that way for short distances, even if it ends up taking you a little longer. ·___37___ Some cities, like NYC, are quite walkable. Others simply aren’t. In Amsterdam, the best way to get about is by bike — whether you use the city’s shared bikes or rent one from your hotel. In Southeast Asia, you’d better rent a scooter (小型摩托车). ___38___ So don’t bother to find the so-called one-size-fits-all answer. ·Try all the available options. If you’ re not sure about the best means of transport for you, experience them all. See what catching the subway is like, try cycling or riding the bus. It’s hard to predict what will be the most convenient. LA has a low- cost public transport network but car-pooling is cheaper, and scooters are the best for getting around West Hollywood. ___39___ ·Don’t rely on map apps. Map apps are useful but they don’t take into account the possibility of packed subways, queues for taxis and the heat of a train in summer. ___40___ So don’t assume something is a 30-minute drive just because a map app says so — by the time you’ve driven halfway, you might still have another 30 minutes to go. A. Don’t limit your choices. B. It takes time to find the best. C. Study the city you will travel to. D. You won’t know until you try them all. E. What works here might not work there. F. The best doesn’t necessarily mean the fastest. G. Besides, they are a bit behind the real traffic time. 第三部分 语言运用（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，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 After plates were filled, I announced a new dinnertime practice.

To most, it might seem harmless, but to me, it was a trigger. In my town, a Ping-Pong table on a lawn isn’t just for games — it’s a beer-pong table, a symbol of late-night noise and chaos. Years ago, my husband and I lived near the university, surrounded by students who turned beer pong into a lifestyle. The thumping bass and laughter kept us awake night after night. We eventually moved to a quieter neighborhood, at great expense, to escape it. So, when I saw that table, memories of those sleepless nights flooded back. Anger bubbled up inside me, hot and uncontrollable. I marched over, past the table, and knocked on the student’s door. I demanded he remove it, expecting him to apologize. Instead, he met my rage with defiance. “Who are you to tell me what to do?” he shot back. His words only fueled my fury. I yelled things I didn’t mean, my voice sharp with profanity (脏话). My husband, sensing trouble, pulled me away before things escalated further. The rest of the day, I seethed (强忍怒火). But by morning, shame replaced anger. I shuddered as I replayed the confrontation in my mind. Why couldn’t I keep my cool? Why did I let something so trivial ignite me? I’ve always struggled with anger — it runs in my family — but I’ve worked hard to change. Therapy, meditation, journaling—I’ve tried them all. Yet, there I was, yelling at a stranger over a Ping-Pong table. I knew I had to make it right. I turned to what I do best: baking. I pulled out a batch of frozen peanut butter chocolate chunk cookie dough I’d made weeks earlier. The dough balls were my secret weapon, ready to transform into warm, comforting cookies at a moment’s notice. As the cookies baked, the house filled with their sweet, buttery aroma. I let them cool, then arranged them on a plate, my hands trembling. 注意：(1)续写词数应为150词左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I walked across the street, past the offending table, and knocked on the student’s door. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As I walked home, I felt lighter, as if a weight had been lifted. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2024—2025学年高二下学期期末 英语试卷 （试卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟） 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） 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What does the man want to do with his money?

I know you are from all walks of life, and for most of you, this is your first time painting, or even your first time doing anything artistic. Don’t worry, this course is designed to teach you the basics of drawing and painting. In the first two weeks, you will get familiar with some very important drawing techniques, as well as understand how to use the equipment. On week three, I will start giving you weekly homework, so you can improve outside of these classes. It’s entirely your choice to complete the homework or not. It is not a course requirement, but obviously, it will really help you progress. After week eight, you have to submit a final piece of work. This artwork will require a lot of experimentation. After the twelfth week, we will hold an exhibition at a local gallery, which both you and your family are welcome to attend. 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 The Best Restaurants in Chicago Summer has arrived and where to eat in Chicago? This collection of Chicago’s best restaurants provides answers to the classic question. Luella’s Southern Kitchen TEL (773) 961-8196 This restaurant serves some of the city’s best Southern food, including shrimp, fried chicken and waffles. This restaurant on the North Side is also a popular brunch destination. It’s a casual spot with counter ordering, but it brings a serious menu where everyone can find something hearty. Community Tavern TEL (773) 283-6080 Nowadays, the restaurant has expanded its menu away from its origins as a neighborhood steakhouse. But fortunately, the neighborhood aspect remains. The bar program is rich, and kids under 12 eat free on certain days. The menu keeps innovating, which isn’t a bad thing. For example, there’s a section of Asian-style dumplings, including one stuffed with mushroom butter. Smoque BBQ TEL (773) 545-7427 With two smokers to prepare St. Louis- style roast meat, this destination in the Northwest Side neighborhood of Irving Park delivers barbecue in the styles of Kansas City and Memphis. During the pandemic, Barry Sorkin, the owner, expanded takeout and outdoor dining options, including a patio in the former parking lot. Pat’s Pizza TEL (773) 248-0168 Chicago thin-crust pizza is having a moment, with the city’s pizza- makers eager to protest the convention that here only serves thick- crust pizza. Pat’s Pizza has a storied history of popularizing thin-crust pizza. This family-owned spot proudly makes some of the crispiest, thinnest pizzas around. Pat’s uses its own sausage, which also helps set its flavor apart. Pizzas are available for takeout, delivery, patio, and indoor dining. 21. What number should you call if you want to eat brunch? A.

The Mississippi teacher said she’s lost about 150 pounds since 2008, and has fulfilled a longtime dream — to run and finish the New York City(NYC) Marathon. “It was a dream that came true. I’ve been wanting to do it for 12 years,” Barnes said. Barnes has come a long way over the past decade. At one point, she weighed nearly 300 pounds. “I did have a big setback around 2018, but I got myself together and persevered (坚持不懈) and got with it again,” she said. Running has been an essential part for Barnes. She has so far run many half marathons and four full marathons. “I can say my life is definitely better, not only for getting mentally and physically healthy but for meeting incredible people along,” Barnes said of her experience with running. Although it wasn’t her first marathon, Barnes said the NYC Marathon was still a challenging run. At mile 18, she said she started having “sharp back spasms (痉挛)”, but despite it all, she would not exchange the experience for anything. “The goal might not be exactly what you want, but you will persevere through it and try your best to reach the end goal.” In the end, Barnes completed the NYC Marathon with a final time of 6 hours, 58 minutes and 53 seconds. “I credit everyone for my achievements. The crowds are simply amazing. And I’m also inspired by the people I’ve encountered. Believe in yourself that you can do it, and start with small achievable and measurable goals. Find something you like to do and something that inspires and motivates you,” she said. Today Barnes runs about five days a week and does both strength and cross training. She plans on running again soon, setting her sights on a half marathon in Arizona next February and running in all 50 states with her husband. She and her husband also hope to run the NYC Marathon together next year. 24. What does the first paragraph mainly talk about? A. Barnes managed to lose weight via surgery. B. Barnes has overcome setbacks in her life. C. Barnes has fulfilled her long-standing wish. D. Barnes has suffered a lot over the last 15 years. 25. What does Barnes try to convey in the second paragraph? A. She benefits a lot from running. B. She has been mentally cured. C. She has run a lot of marathons in her life. D. She wants to make friends through running. 26. What do we know about Barnes’ participation in the NYC Marathon? A. She highly treasured the experience. B. She finished it with the best record. C. She completed it without difficulty. D. She considered it the most challenging. 27. Which of the following can best describe Barnes? A. Demanding but patient. B. Stubborn but friendly. C.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了体重一度接近300磅的Lee Anne Barnes通过自己的努力，在过去的15年里，将体重减了约150磅。她还参加了纽约市马拉松赛，实现了自己长久以来的梦想。她的经历告诉我们：只要有毅力和决心，就没有克服不了的困难。 【24题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Over the last 15 years, Lee Anne Barnes has gone from a couch potato to a marathoner. The Mississippi teacher said she’s lost about 150 pounds since 2008, and has fulfilled a longtime dream — to run and finish the New York City(NYC) Marathon. “It was a dream that came true. I’ve been wanting to do it for 12 years,” Barnes said. Barnes has come a long way over the past decade. At one point, she weighed nearly 300 pounds. “I did have a big setback around 2018, but I got myself together and persevered (坚持不懈) and got with it again,” she said.(在过去的15年里，李·安妮·巴恩斯从一个电视迷变成了一个马拉松运动员。这位密西西比州的教师说，自2008年以来，她已经减掉了大约150磅，并实现了长期以来的梦想——跑完纽约市马拉松赛。“我的梦想成真了。我想做这件事已经有12年了，”巴恩斯说。巴恩斯在过去十年里取得了长足的进步。她的体重一度接近300磅。她说:“在2018年左右，我确实遇到了很大的挫折，但我振作起来，坚持不懈，重新开始了。”)”可知，第一段主要介绍的是Barnes实现了自己长期以来的一个梦想，即跑完纽约市马拉松赛。故选C。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“I can say my life is definitely better, not only for getting mentally and physically healthy but for meeting incredible people along(我可以说我的生活确实变得更好了，不仅因为身心健康，而且因为遇到了很棒的人)”可知，她从跑步中获益良多。故选A。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“At mile 18, she said she started having “sharp back spasms (痉挛)”, but despite it all, she would not exchange the experience for anything.(在18英里处，她说她开始出现“剧烈的背部痉挛”，但尽管如此，她不会用任何东西来交换这种经历)”可推知，Barnes非常珍视这次跑纽约市马拉松赛的经历，觉得任何东西都无法换取这段经历。故选A。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“I did have a big setback around 2018, but I got myself together and persevered (坚持不懈) and got with it again(2018年前后，我确实遇到了很大的挫折，但我振作起来，坚持不懈，重新开始了)”可知，尽管遇到挫折，Barnes还是振作起来并坚持了下来。由此可知，Barnes是一个意志坚强的人。根据最后一段“She plans on running again soon, setting her sights on a half marathon in Arizona next February and running in all 50 states with her husband. She and her husband also hope to run the NYC Marathon together next year.(她计划很快再次跑步，她的目标是明年2月在亚利桑那州参加半程马拉松比赛，并与丈夫一起跑遍所有50个州。她和丈夫还希望明年能一起参加纽约马拉松比赛)”可知，她计划参加亚利桑那州的半程马拉松赛，还计划与丈夫一起跑50个州，说明Barnes是一个有远大志向的人。故选D。 C If you’ re asked to picture a successful leader, what do you see? If you’ re like most people, you imagine somebody who is decisive and in control. Somebody who seems to have little doubts about his or her actions. But that kind of thinking has it backward. In more than two decades of research into how leaders’ decision-making has an impact on organizational success, I’ve uncovered a surprising finding: The most effective leaders aren’t the ones who seem to have all the answers, but those who question themselves. They are, in other words, ambivalent. Ambivalent leaders aren’t decisive in the eyes of others and are often regarded as weak and too agreeable. But, our research reveals a different story. In one study of 164 consulting teams in Brazil, we found that leaders who were ambivalent discussed with more team members, and more frequently, than leaders who were less ambivalent. The openness of these leaders also inspired team members to seek more information from others. At the end of the project, customers rated these teams higher in their performance than teams led by decisive managers. My most recent research, of students at a university, showed similar results. We observed the students as they performed six-month class projects in teams. At the end of the projects, team members and leaders answered survey questions about each other. In the survey, team members were open to ambivalence in their leaders: The more ambivalent these leaders seemed to be about decisions, the more their team members felt the leaders were really good listeners. Ambivalent leaders, meanwhile, reported that their team members had higher levels of curiosity and creativity than leaders who were less ambivalent. Ambivalent leaders challenge traditional views of what leaders look like. But evidence shows, again and again, that their performance also eclipses decisive leaders. Ambivalence is a driving force behind critical thinking and joint decision-making. 28. What does the study of 164 teams suggest? A. Ambivalence reduces misunderstanding. B. Teamwork determines a leader’s authority. C. Customer ratings influence working atmosphere. D. Leaders’ openness encourages team interactions. 29. The author presents the research at the university in order to ________. A. support the previous findings B. compare varied research settings C. test the research methods used earlier D. discuss limitations of the former study 30. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “eclipses”? A. Inspires B. Satisfies. C. Promotes. D. Outshines. 31. What is the main writing purpose of the text? A. To compare leaders of different styles. B. To present a new idea about leadership. C To doubt standards of successful leaders. D. To stress the role of personality in leadership. 【答案】28. D 29. A 30. D 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过研究指出，最有效的领导者并非那些看似有所有答案的人，而是那些自我质疑、心存矛盾的人，他们的开放性更能促进团队表现。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“In one study of 164 consulting teams in Brazil, we found that leaders who were ambivalent discussed with more team members, and more frequently, than leaders who were less ambivalent. The openness of these leaders also inspired team members to seek more information from others. (在对巴西164个咨询团队的一项研究中，我们发现，心存矛盾的领导者比矛盾较少的领导者与更多团队成员进行讨论，且讨论更频繁。这些领导者的开放性也激励团队成员从他人那里获取更多信息)”可知，领导者的开放性可以激励团队成员从他人那里获取更多信息，即鼓励了团队成员之间的互动。故选D项。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“In more than two decades of research into how leaders’ decision-making has an impact on organizational success, I’ve uncovered a surprising finding: The most effective leaders aren’t the ones who seem to have all the answers, but those who question themselves. They are, in other words, ambivalent.(在对领导者的决策如何影响组织成功的二十多年研究中，我发现了一个令人惊讶的发现：最有效的领导者并不是那些似乎无所不知的人，而是那些质疑自己的人。换句话说，它们是矛盾的)”和第四段中“My most recent research, of students at a university, showed similar results. (我最近对一所大学学生的研究也显示了类似的结果)”可知，作者呈现大学的研究是为了支持之前的研究发现。故选A项。 【30题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句后“Ambivalence is a driving force behind critical thinking and joint decision-making.(矛盾心理是批判性思维和共同决策背后的驱动力)”可知，矛盾心理驱动批判性思维和共同决策，由此推知，心存矛盾的领导者的表现会超过了果断型领导者。故划线词eclipses意思是“比……更出色”，与D项“Outshines”同义。故选D项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，结合第二段中“In more than two decades of research into how leaders’ decision making has an impact on organizational success, I’ve uncovered a surprising finding: The most effective leaders aren’t the ones who seem to have all the answers, but those who question themselves. (在对领导者的决策如何影响组织成功进行了二十多年的研究后，我有了一个惊人的发现：最有效的领导者并非那些看似有所有答案的人，而是那些自我质疑的人)”和最后一段中“Ambivalent leaders challenge traditional views of what leaders look like.(矛盾的领导者挑战了人们对领导者的传统看法)”可知，文章的主要目的是提出一种关于领导力的新观点。故选B项。 D It is not just the environment and the economy that are threatened by a warmer climate, but also culture and traditions around the world. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have mapped what little is known about how climate change is gradually destroying local knowledge and cultural heritage. “We risk losing the memory of native people’s ways of life without this type of documentation,” says Guy Jackson at Lund University, one of the authors of a literature study. One conclusion of the study is that cultural heritage is primarily seen as something of material value, such as a historic building, and the loss is seen as a potential future problem, even though there is evidence that it is already happening. Focusing on material losses means that important traditions and knowledge systems are overlooked. “There are also many non-material losses that are valuable for both individual identity and group identity,” says Guy Jackson. The study shows a clear connection between loss of native cultural heritage and changes in the natural environment. For example, songs and working methods change when groups lose traditions linked to a physical location. One scientific article points out that identity is closely linked to the environment, “ Inuit people (因纽特人) in Canada are people of sea ice. If there is no. more sea ice, how can they be people of sea ice?” Loss of traditions and cultural heritage can make it more difficult to deal with climate change, and weaken social togetherness, as people lose touch with traditional ways of life. It also raises the question whether we can expect native people to protect and preserve rainforests and other ecosystems. The researchers hope that the literature study can read to more targeted research. They want to see a larger focus on how to handle, minimize and tackle future losses. “Science should contribute by developing practical solutions and strategies that help with adaptation to the losses that have already happened,” Guy Jackson concludes. 32. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs? A. Climate change causes cultural loss. B. The economy affects the environment. C. Cultural loss is a current problem. D. The native people are being forgotten. 33. What does the study show about the loss of native cultural heritage? A. It is seriously overestimated by scientists. B. It has brought great damage to Canadians. C. It has transformed global working methods. D. It is closely related to environmental changes. 34. What is paragraph 5 mainly about concerning the loss of traditions and cultural heritage? A. Its natural origins. B. Its negative results. C. Its potential reasons. D. Its effective solutions. 35. What is the main idea of the text? A. The unknown threats to the local knowledge. B. The practical solutions to some cultural issues. C. The climate change’s effect on culture and traditions. D. The various losses of important culture and traditions. 【答案】32. A 33. D 34. B 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章论述了气候变化对文化和传统的影响。有研究表明，随着气候变暖，当地人生活方式的记忆正在逐渐丧失，但这种丧失往往被忽视。文化和传统的丧失可能导致应对气候变化更困难，社会向心力被削弱。研究人员呼吁寻找可行的解决方案和策略来应对这一问题。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“It is not just the environment and the economy that are threatened by a warmer climate, but also culture and traditions around the world. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have mapped what little is known about how climate change is gradually destroying local knowledge and cultural heritage.(受到气候变暖威胁的不仅是环境和经济，还有世界各地的文化和传统。瑞典隆德大学的研究人员绘制了关于气候变化如何逐渐破坏当地知识和文化遗产的地图)”以及第二段““We risk losing the memory of native people’s ways of life without this type of documentation,” says Guy Jackson at Lund University, one of the authors of a literature study. One conclusion of the study is that cultural heritage is primarily seen as something of material value, such as a historic building, and the loss is seen as a potential future problem, even though there is evidence that it is already happening.(隆德大学的盖伊·杰克逊是一项文献研究的作者之一，他说:“如果没有这种类型的文献，我们可能会失去对土著人生活方式的记忆。”该研究的一个结论是，文化遗产主要被视为具有物质价值的东西，比如历史建筑，而损失被视为未来的潜在问题，尽管有证据表明这种情况已经发生了)”可知，瑞典隆德大学的一项文献研究表明，气候变化会导致文化的丧失。故选A。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The study shows a clear connection between loss of native cultural heritage and changes in the natural environment.(这项研究表明，本土文化遗产的丧失与自然环境的变化之间存在着明确的联系)”可知，本土文化遗产的丧失与自然环境的变化有着明显的联系。故选D。 34题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第五段“Loss of traditions and cultural heritage can make it more difficult to deal with climate change, and weaken social togetherness, as people lose touch with traditional ways of life. It also raises the question whether we can expect native people to protect and preserve rainforests and other ecosystems.(传统和文化遗产的丧失可能使应对气候变化变得更加困难，并削弱社会团结，因为人们失去了与传统生活方式的联系。这也提出了一个问题，我们是否能指望当地人保护和保存雨林和其他生态系统)”可知，本段主要讲述文化遗产和传统丧失的后果，即负面影响。故选B。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“It is not just the environment and the economy that are threatened by a warmer climate, but also culture and traditions around the world. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have mapped what little is known about how climate change is gradually destroying local knowledge and cultural heritage.(受到气候变暖威胁的不仅是环境和经济，还有世界各地的文化和传统。瑞典隆德大学的研究人员绘制了关于气候变化如何逐渐破坏当地知识和文化遗产的地图)”结合本文主要论述了气候变化对文化和传统的影响。气候变化不仅威胁到环境和经济，还威胁到了世界各地的文化和传统，而本土文化遗产的丧失与自然环境的变化有着明显的联系。即这篇文章的主旨是气候变化对文化和传统的影响。故选C。 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。 Whether you’re heading out for a day trip or a quick weekend getaway (短期休假), we will share some travel tips in this guide to help you make your experience more enjoyable. ·Think about how you want to travel. ___36___ Sometimes it means the most enjoyable. Too much consideration on short journeys is not worth it. If you’ve got a preference for a certain means of transport, it’s often worth traveling that way for short distances, even if it ends up taking you a little longer. ·___37___ Some cities, like NYC, are quite walkable. Others simply aren’t. In Amsterdam, the best way to get about is by bike — whether you use the city’s shared bikes or rent one from your hotel. In Southeast Asia, you’d better rent a scooter (小型摩托车). ___38___ So don’t bother to find the so-called one-size-fits-all answer. ·Try all the available options. If you’ re not sure about the best means of transport for you, experience them all. See what catching the subway is like, try cycling or riding the bus. It’s hard to predict what will be the most convenient. LA has a low- cost public transport network but car-pooling is cheaper, and scooters are the best for getting around West Hollywood. ___39___ ·Don’t rely on map apps. Map apps are useful, but they don’t take into account the possibility of packed subways, queues for taxis and the heat of a train in summer. ___40___ So don’t assume something is a 30-minute drive just because a map app says so — by the time you’ve driven halfway, you might still have another 30 minutes to go. A. Don’t limit your choices. B. It takes time to find the best. C. Study the city you will travel to. D. You won’t know until you try them all. E. What works here might not work there. F. The best doesn’t necessarily mean the fastest. G. Besides, they are a bit behind the real traffic time. 【答案】36. F 37. C 38. E 39. D 40. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过一篇旅行指南帮助读者在旅行中做出明智的选择并得到更加愉快的体验。 【36题详解】 根据后文“Sometimes it means the most enjoyable. Too much consideration on short journeys is not worth it. If you’ve got a preference for a certain means of transport, it’s often worth traveling that way for short distances, even if it ends up taking you a little longer.(有时它意味着最愉快的。在短途旅行中考虑太多是不值得的。如果你对某种交通方式有偏好，那么短途旅行通常是值得的，即使它最终会花费你更多的时间)”可知，本空是段落的总起句，与下文提到的“Sometimes it means the most enjoyable.(有时它意味着最愉快的)”形成对比。本段建议：在选择如何旅行时要考虑个人的喜好；如果你偏好某种交通方式，那么以这种方式短途旅行是值得的，即使它花费的时间略多。F项“最好的不一定意味着最快。”符合语境故选F。 【37题详解】 本空是段落的小标题，根据本段内容“Some cities, like NYC, are quite walkable. Others simply aren’t. In Amsterdam, the best way to get about is by bike — whether you use the city’s shared bikes or rent one from your hotel. In Southeast Asia, you’d better rent a scooter (小型摩托车).(有些城市，比如纽约，非常适合步行。其他的则不是。在阿姆斯特丹，最好的出行方式就是骑自行车——不管你是使用城市的共享单车还是从酒店租一辆。在东南亚，你最好租一辆摩托车)”可知，空处应概括本段的内容并给旅行者提供建议，结合本段提及了适合不同城市的交通方式，以说明了解目的地城市的情况对于选择合适的交通方式至关重要。C项“研究你要旅行的城市。”符合语境。故选C。 【38题详解】 本空是段落中的过渡句。根据上文“Some cities, like NYC, are quite walkable. Others simply aren’t. In Amsterdam, the best way to get about is by bike — whether you use the city’s shared bikes or rent one from your hotel. In Southeast Asia, you’d better rent a scooter (小型摩托车).(有些城市，比如纽约，非常适合步行。其他的则不是。在阿姆斯特丹，最好的出行方式就是骑自行车——不管你是使用城市的共享单车还是从酒店租一辆。在东南亚，你最好租一辆摩托车)”可知，本段提到不同的交通方式适合不同的城市；没有一种交通方式适合所有城市。E项“在这里适用的不一定在那里适用。”与下文“So don’t bother to find the so-called one-size-fits-all answer.(所以，不要费心去寻找所谓的一刀切的答案)”构成因果关系，符合语境。故选E。 【39题详解】 根据上文“If you’ re not sure about the best means of transport for you, experience them all. See what catching the subway is like, try cycling or riding the bus. It’s hard to predict what will be the most convenient. LA has a low- cost public transport network but car-pooling is cheaper, and scooters are the best for getting around West Hollywood.(如果你不确定哪一种交通方式最适合你，那就都体验一下吧。看看乘地铁是什么感觉，试试骑自行车或乘公共汽车。很难预测什么是最方便的。洛杉矶有一个低成本的公共交通网络，但拼车更便宜，而在西好莱坞，滑板车是最好的交通工具)”可知，本段建议：尝试所有可用的交通方式。因为很难预测哪种方式最方便，只有全部尝试后才能知道哪种方式最适合自己，而本空是本段内容的总结，呼应段落小标题。故D项“直到你把它们试遍时才会知道。”符合语境。故选D。 【40题详解】 根据下文“So don’t assume something is a 30-minute drive just because a map app says so — by the time you’ve driven halfway, you might still have another 30 minutes to go.(所以，不要仅仅因为地图应用程序这么说，就认为某件事是30分钟的车程——当你开到一半的时候，你可能还有30分钟要走)”可知，地图应用程序中的交通信息有时会与实际情况不符。G项“此外，它们稍微滞后于实际交通时间。”与下文构成因果关系，共同说明地图应用程序的弊端，符合语境。故选G。 第三部分 语言运用（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，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 After plates were filled, I announced a new dinnertime practice.

To most, it might seem harmless, but to me, it was a trigger. In my town, a Ping-Pong table on a lawn isn’t just for games — it’s a beer-pong table, a symbol of late-night noise and chaos. Years ago, my husband and I lived near the university, surrounded by students who turned beer pong into a lifestyle. The thumping bass and laughter kept us awake night after night. We eventually moved to a quieter neighborhood, at great expense, to escape it. So, when I saw that table, memories of those sleepless nights flooded back. Anger bubbled up inside me, hot and uncontrollable. I marched over, past the table, and knocked on the student’s door. I demanded he remove it, expecting him to apologize. Instead, he met my rage with defiance. “Who are you to tell me what to do?” he shot back. His words only fueled my fury. I yelled things I didn’t mean, my voice sharp with profanity (脏话). My husband, sensing trouble, pulled me away before things escalated further. The rest of the day, I seethed (强忍怒火). But by morning, shame replaced anger. I shuddered as I replayed the confrontation in my mind. Why couldn’t I keep my cool? Why did I let something so trivial ignite me? I’ve always struggled with anger — it runs in my family — but I’ve worked hard to change. Therapy, meditation, journaling—I’ve tried them all. Yet, there I was, yelling at a stranger over a Ping-Pong table. I knew I had to make it right. I turned to what I do best: baking. I pulled out a batch of frozen peanut butter chocolate chunk cookie dough I’d made weeks earlier. The dough balls were my secret weapon, ready to transform into warm, comforting cookies at a moment’s notice. As the cookies baked, the house filled with their sweet, buttery aroma. I let them cool, then arranged them on a plate, my hands trembling. 注意：(1)续写词数应为150词左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I walked across the street, past the offending table, and knocked on the student’s door. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As I walked home, I felt lighter, as if a weight had been lifted. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I walked across the street, past the offending table, and knocked on the student’s door. When he opened the door, surprise flickered across his face. I forced a smile and held out the plate of cookies. “I’m really sorry about yesterday,” I said, my voice trembling slightly. “I overreacted, and I shouldn’t have yelled at you like that. These cookies are a peace offering.” He stared at me for a moment, then his expression softened. “I guess I could have been nicer too,” he replied. He took a cookie and took a bite. “These are great,” he said, a small smile tugging at his lips. As I walked home, I felt lighter, as if a weight had been lifted. I was proud of myself for facing my anger and making amends. I realized that holding onto anger only hurts myself in the end. This experience was a reminder that I still have work to do on managing my emotions, but I’m making progress. I looked back at the house across the street and smiled. The Ping-Pong table no longer seemed like a threat. Instead, it was a symbol of a fresh start and the power of forgiveness. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者曾因附近大学生玩啤酒乒乓噪音不断而饱受失眠之苦。如今看到对面大学生在草坪放乒乓球桌，往昔痛苦回忆被触发，作者愤怒要求其搬走，大学生反抗致双方激烈争吵。事后作者羞愧，以自制饼干向大学生道歉，大学生接受，双方友好交流并承诺降低噪音。作者回家时如释重负，认识到控制情绪的重要性，也期待与新邻居开启有趣的新篇章，乒乓球桌成新起点与宽恕的象征 。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我穿过马路，经过那张惹我生气的桌子，敲了敲那个学生的门。”可知，第一段可描写作者送饼干给学生表示歉意的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“回家的路上，我觉得自己轻松了许多，好像卸下了一个包袱。”可知，第二段可描写作者为自己面对愤怒并做出弥补而感到骄傲以及内心感受。 2.续写线索：敲了敲那个学生的门——递饼干给学生——表达歉意——觉得自己轻松了许多——管理情绪方面还有很多工作要做——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①盯着：stared at / gazed at ②意识到：realized /was aware of ③大喊大叫：yelled / shouted 情绪类 ①惊讶：surprise /astonishment ②愤怒，恼怒：anger/ annoyance 【点睛】[高分句型1] When he opened the door, surprise flickered across his face.（运用了When引导的时间状语从句。） [高分句型2] This experience was a reminder that I still have work to do on managing my emotions, but I’m making progress.（运用了that引导的同位语从句。） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $高一英语听力部分，第一节听下面5段对话，每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。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。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。Look at this picture, I must visit.
