Here are some selected hotels, ranging from iconic five-star institutions to new apartment hotels. The Balmoral Hotel For luxury accommodation, the Balmoral hotel offers five-star service and fantastic views of Edinburgh Castle. It is in the city center and features the iconic clock tower. The Balmoral is probably the most famous hotel in the city and is famous for its hospitality. It is also popular with locals for afternoon tea. Wilde Apart Hotel Wilde Apart hotel is a modern, stylish hotel. The hotel features well-appointed (设备齐全的) serviced apartments that have fully equipped small kitchens, free WiFi, and car parking nearby. The apartments are ideal for those who are staying in the city for more than a night or two and would like to have a small kitchen to enjoy breakfast or lunch. The Radisson Collection Hotel The Radisson Collection Hotel overlooks the iconic Royal Mile. It’s just a short walk from attractions such as Edinburgh Castle and Holyrood Park, and it’s within easy reach of local restaurants, shops, bars, and galleries. Everything you will want to see and do in Edinburgh is close to hand, and it’s five minutes from Waverly Train Station and airport links. The hotel’s design is modern. Scotsman Hotel Originally built as The Scotsman newspaper offices in 1905, Scotsman Hotel has been carefully restored into nine floors of rooms and suites with commanding views over the city. Located at the top end of North Bridge, the hotel occupies the prime real estate spot (黄金地段) in Edinburgh. Easy access to Waverley Train Station and airport shuttles, the hotel is probably the most well-appointed accommodation in terms of transport links. We hope you love the Edinburgh hotels we recommend! 1. Which hotel suits customers who love cooking by themselves? A. Scotsman Hotel. B. Wilde Apart Hotel. C. The Balmoral Hotel. D. The Radisson Collection Hotel. 2. What makes the Scotsman Hotel different from the others? A. Its special origin. B. Its central situation. C. Its commanding views. D. Its convenient transportation. 3. Where is this text probably taken from? A. A travel journal. B. A tour report. C. A tourist website. D. A hotel research. B We’re increasingly relying on automation and artificial intelligence in everyday life. But we still don’t quite trust robots and fear they will take our jobs. Humankind has a complicated relationship with robots. On the one hand, we appreciate how they can do dangerous, repetitive work so we don’t have to. Robots don’t need vacations or medical insurance. And in areas such as agriculture, where farmers can’t find enough people to pick the produce, robots can shoulder some of those tasks. But polls (民意调查) show that the growing robotization of the planet makes us feel deeply agitated - and threatened. Pew Research Center surveys found that more than 80 percent of Americans believed thạt by 2050, robots would do much of the work humans now do and about 75 percent believed that would make economic inequality worse. Across lines of race, age, and education, people who said automation has hurt workers outnumbered those who said it’s helped workers by two to one. National Geographic sent David Berreby around the world to look at the present and future state of robots in society. “Robots now deliver food in Milton Keynes, England, carry supplies in a Dallas hospital, disinfect (给……消毒) patients’ rooms in China and some European countries, and wander parks in Singapore, asking pedestrians (行人) to maintain social distance,” Berreby writes. “It’s an unavoidable fact that we are going to have machines, artificial creatures; that will be a part of our daily life,” Carnegie Mellon University AI roboticist Manuela Veloso told Berreby. “When you start accepting robots around you, like a third species, along with pets and humans, you want to relate to them.” A third species? That’s a new idea indeed. But were not there yet. So far, Berreby reports, robots can’t equal the human mind’s ability to do a lot of tasks, especially unexpected ones, and robots haven’t yet mastered common sense - all sill required to be a magazine editor. 4. What does the underlined word “agitated” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Disappointed B. Proud. C. Comfortable D. Worried. 5. What did Pew Research Center surveys show? A. Most people regarded workplace automation as good. B. Most people agreed robots helped stimulate the economy. C. More people thought robots did more harm than good. D. More people feared robots would bring more social problems. 6. What does David Berreby’s description imply? A. People enjoy robots’ company. B. People have a growing reliance on robots, C. Robots will pose a serious threat to humans. D. Robots will soon replace humans in many fields. 7. What is David Berreby’s attitude to accepting robots as a third species? A. Disapproving. B. Favorable. C. Concerned. D. Reserved C Global sea levels continue to rise despite efforts that cities around the world are making to reduce the effects of climate change and their carbon emissions. One firm, however, is hoping to battle the effects of climate change. Driven by alarming estimates that 36.6 million people in Asian coastal cities like Mumbai could face flooding by 2070, Luca Curci Architects, based in Venice, Italy, has released Floating City — a design that would allow urban areas to rise with the waters while making use of renewable energies to reduce their own carbon emissions. Each 25-acre unit houses 50,000 residents on interconnected platforms, with potential expansion for 200,000and buildings are capped at 90 meters tall for stability. “Structures must be flexible like bamboo in wind to resist waves,” explains architect Curci. To achieve this, seawater resistant materials are given priority to, while hollow sections in platforms help them float. Meanwhile, movable bridges are constructed to link these “water neighborhoods” to mainland transport systems. The project team also envisions a mix of renewable energy sources extracting power from wind, water, and the sun to power the city. During extreme weather, platforms automatically separate and regroup using intelligence algorithms inspired by how fish schools avoid hunters. Compared to building artificial islands, this method preserves 68% more marine (海洋) life and uses surfaces that absorb rainwater to reduce flooding risks. However, challenges persist. Seawater slowly harms materials, requiring repair every four months, and emergency plans for extreme weather are still under way. “This isn’t about abandoning coasts but evolving with them,” notes designer Tim Fu. While some question long-term possibility, the design redefines urban resilience. Unlike rigid sea walls, these dynamic structures harmonize with oceanic rhythms, offering a blueprint for climate solutions. “Cities must learn to dance with the waves,” Curci says. This philosophy could transform humanity’s relationship with rising seas, turning threats into sustainable opportunities. 8. What drove Luca Curci Architects to come up with a new design? A. Energy crisis. B. Potential disasters. C. Tourism expansion. D. Overcrowded cities. 9. Which of the following best describes Luca Curci’s design? A. Fictional and renewable. B. Adaptable and innovative. C. Eco-friendly and immovable. D. Wave-resistant and conventional. 10. A limitation of Luca Curci’s design is that ______. A. it threatens marine life B. it lacks clean energy options C. it requires regular maintenance D. it ignores coastal water changes 11. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. Ocean Protection: Life under Threat B. Rising with the Tides: Floating Cities C. Connecting to the Future: Eco Solutions D. Coastal Design: Inspiration from Bamboo D A challenge of teaching mathematics rather than, say, history is that the homework is a lot harder to come up with. After all, “Was Henry Ⅷ a good king?” is a reasonable question to ask either a classroom of nine-year-olds or a lecture theatre of postgraduates. But “Solve this quadratic equation (二次方程式)” would leave the classroom at a loss and the lecture theatre unimpressed. Maths is learned by doing and designing a problem that is easy enough to be accessible, yet hard enough to be satisfying, is a big headache in itself. Partly for this reason books that successfully communicate how mathematicians think, but are aimed at those not already in the field, are both valuable and rare. Now Sir David Spiegelhalter, professor of statistics at the University of Cambridge, has added to the category with The Art of Uncertainty. His new book will appeal to many more than just mathematicians, for its topic is universal: how to analyse chance, uncertainty and risk. If a new virus is running wild and the majority of deaths are among those who have received a newer vaccine, is that evidence that the vaccination program is harmful? How much of top football teams’ performance comes down to luck rather than skill? Professor Spiegelhalter’s exploration of such questions is delightful. First, he uses them to illustrate broader ideas about how probability and statistics work. So a discussion of vaccine safety proceeds to Bayes’s theorem (贝叶斯定理), a procedure for improving one’s judgment of probabilities as new evidence comes to light. The joy of Professor Spiegelhalter’s approach is that he reaches this deep truth through nothing more than some intuitive assumptions and very simple maths. Most important, though, is Professor Spiegelhalter’s skill at communicating these ideas. Much of probability and statistics can go against our intuition, and the maths behind it is often fearsome. But this is not a difficult book to read or understand. 12. What can we know from paragraph 1? A. Designing math homework is easier. B. Quadratic equation may confuse young learners. C. Nine-year-olds enjoy history questions. D. Postgraduates find math problems too simple. 13. What is the biggest selling point of The Art of Uncertainty according to the author? A. It covers various topics. B. It casts light on math thoughts. C. It satisfies maths professionals. D. It makes sense to ordinary people. 14. How does Professor Spiegelhalter explain probability and statistics? A. By using advanced mathematical formulas. B. By analyzing real-life questions with simple maths. C. By discussing complex scientific theories. D. By conducting experiments in lecture theatres. 15. The text is probably written to ______. A. introduce a new book on mathematics. B. compare teaching mathematics with history. C explain complex mathematical theories simply. D persuade people to study probability and statistics. 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 In modern society, getting along with others is like a delicate dance that requires skill, patience, and sincerity.

The real world— the campus life he had heard so much about, the decisions on what to study, what career to pursue, and how to find his place— felt like a heavy weight on his chest. He had no clue what his future held. One afternoon, Jake’s mom suggested he spend some time volunteering at the community center. “It might be a good way to take your mind off things,” she said. At first, he resisted. Volunteering didn't sound like the right way to prepare for college. He needed to focus on his future, not wasting time helping others. But eventually, he agreed unwillingly. When Jake first arrived at the center, the atmosphere felt unfamiliar but warm. It was a small, comfortable space with colorful walls, art supplies, and kids playing in the corner. He was assigned to help with the kids’ art class. The first few days were uneventful. Jake just sat back, passing out crayons, organizing the art supplies, and occasionally offering a word of encouragement to the kids. But one particular day, a girl caught his attention. Her name was Layla, and she was sitting in the corner, quietly staring down at a blank canvas (画布), with her hands wrapped tightly around a paintbrush. Her brush paused above the canvas as if she were waiting for permission to make the first mark. Jake had no experience with art and didn’t know how to guide Layla. But something about her hesitation touched his heart. He walked over to her and asked, “Hey, Layla, what's going on? Why aren't you painting?” She looked up at him with large brown eyes, then down at her hands, which were holding the paintbrush tightly but not moving. “I’m not good at it,” she replied. “I don’t know how to make it look like what’s in my mind.” 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Jake sat beside her, smiling. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As Layla’s confidence grew, Jake felt a shift within himself. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 江西师大附中高二年级英语期末试卷 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.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四家靠近爱丁堡必游景点的最佳酒店。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Wilde Apart Hotel”下面的“The hotel features well-appointed (设备齐全的) serviced apartments that have fully equipped small kitchens, free WiFi, and car parking nearby. The apartments are ideal for those who are staying in the city for more than a night or two and would like to have a small kitchen to enjoy breakfast or lunch.(酒店设有设备齐全的服务式公寓，配有设备齐全的小厨房、免费WiFi和附近的停车场。这些公寓非常适合那些在城市里住一两个晚上以上，且想要有一个小厨房来享用早餐或午餐的人)”可知，王尔德公寓酒店有设备齐全的小厨房，适合那些喜欢自己做饭的顾客。故选B。 【2题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Scotsman Hotel”下面的“Originally built as The Scotsman newspaper offices in 1905, Scotsman Hotel has been carefully restored into nine floors of rooms and suites with commanding views over the city.(苏格兰人酒店建于1905年，最初是《苏格兰人报》的报社，现已精心修复为九层客房和套房，可俯瞰城市美景)”可推测出，苏格兰人酒店特殊的起源让其不同于其他酒店。故选A。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据标题“The Best Hotels in Edinburgh Close to the Must-See Sights”、第一段中的“Here are some selected hotels, ranging from iconic five-star institutions to new apartment hotels.(以下是一些精选酒店，从标志性的五星级机构到新型公寓酒店)”和最后一段“We hope you love the Edinburgh hotels we recommend!(我们希望你喜欢我们推荐的爱丁堡酒店！)”可知，本文为游客推荐了一些精选酒店，这些酒店靠近爱丁堡的必看景点。由此可推测出，本篇文章最有可能出自一个游客网站（A tourist website），而不是旅行日志（A travel journal）、旅行报告（A tour report）和酒店研究（A hotel research）。故选C。 B We’re increasingly relying on automation and artificial intelligence in everyday life.

National Geographic sent David Berreby around the world to look at the present and future state of robots in society. “Robots now deliver food in Milton Keynes, England, carry supplies in a Dallas hospital, disinfect (给……消毒) patients’ rooms in China and some European countries, and wander parks in Singapore, asking pedestrians (行人) to maintain social distance,” Berreby writes. “It’s an unavoidable fact that we are going to have machines, artificial creatures; that will be a part of our daily life,” Carnegie Mellon University AI roboticist Manuela Veloso told Berreby. “When you start accepting robots around you, like a third species, along with pets and humans, you want to relate to them.” A third species? That’s a new idea indeed. But were not there yet. So far, Berreby reports, robots can’t equal the human mind’s ability to do a lot of tasks, especially unexpected ones, and robots haven’t yet mastered common sense - all sill required to be a magazine editor. 4. What does the underlined word “agitated” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Disappointed B. Proud. C. Comfortable D. Worried. 5. What did Pew Research Center surveys show? A. Most people regarded workplace automation as good. B. Most people agreed robots helped stimulate the economy. C. More people thought robots did more harm than good. D. More people feared robots would bring more social problems. 6. What does David Berreby’s description imply? A. People enjoy robots’ company. B. People have a growing reliance on robots, C. Robots will pose a serious threat to humans. D. Robots will soon replace humans in many fields. 7. What is David Berreby’s attitude to accepting robots as a third species? A. Disapproving. B. Favorable. C. Concerned. D. Reserved 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。讲述的是的日常生活中的机器人化和智能化给人们带来了便利的同时，使得人们对机器人化变得更加的焦虑。 【4题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第二段中的“And in areas such as agriculture, where farmers can’t find enough people to pick the produce, robots can shoulder some of those tasks.(在农业等领域，农民找不到足够的人来采摘农产品，机器人可以承担其中的一些任务。)”与划线单词前的内容“But polls (民意调查) show that the growing robotization of the planet makes us feel deeply…(但民意调查显示，地球日益增长的机器人化让我们深深地感受到......)”为转折关系可知，前文讲述的是机器人给人类带来的好处，根据but可知，划线部分所在的句子讲述的是机器人给人们带来的困扰，结合下文“and threatened(且受到威胁)”可确定划线单词的意思是“令人不安”。故选D项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Across lines of race, age, and education, people who said automation has hurt workers outnumbered those who said it’s helped workers by two to one.(在不同种族、年龄和教育程度的人群中，认为自动化对工人有害的人比认为自动化对工人有益的人多出两倍。)”可知，更多的人觉得机器人化给人带来的弊大于利。故选C项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段““Robots now deliver food in Milton Keynes, England, carry supplies in a Dallas hospital, disinfect (给...消毒) patients’ rooms in China and some European countries, and wander parks in Singapore, asking pedestrians (行人) to maintain social distance,” Berreby writes. (Berreby写道：“机器人现在在英国米尔尔顿凯恩斯送餐，在达拉斯医院搬运用品，在中国和一些欧洲国家为病人的房间消毒，在新加坡的公园漫步，要求行人保持社交距离。”)“可以推知，人类对机器人在各领域都有所依赖。故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“But were not there yet. So far, Berreby reports, robots can’t equal the human mind’s ability to do a lot of tasks, especially unexpected ones, and robots haven’t yet: mastered common sense - all sill required to be a magazine editor.(但我们还没到那一步。Berreby报告说，到目前为止，机器人还不能在很多任务上与人类思维匹敌，尤其是那些意想不到的任务，而且机器人还没有掌握常识——成为一名杂志编辑还需要具备这些能力。)”可以推知，David Berreby对于把机器人看作是又一物种的看法持不赞成的态度。故选A项 C Global sea levels continue to rise despite efforts that cities around the world are making to reduce the effects of climate change and their carbon emissions. One firm, however, is hoping to battle the effects of climate change. Driven by alarming estimates that 36.6 million people in Asian coastal cities like Mumbai could face flooding by 2070, Luca Curci Architects, based in Venice, Italy, has released Floating City — a design that would allow urban areas to rise with the waters while making use of renewable energies to reduce their own carbon emissions. Each 25-acre unit houses 50,000 residents on interconnected platforms, with potential expansion for 200,000and buildings are capped at 90 meters tall for stability. “Structures must be flexible like bamboo in wind to resist waves,” explains architect Curci. To achieve this, seawater resistant materials are given priority to, while hollow sections in platforms help them float. Meanwhile, movable bridges are constructed to link these “water neighborhoods” to mainland transport systems. The project team also envisions a mix of renewable energy sources extracting power from wind, water, and the sun to power the city. During extreme weather, platforms automatically separate and regroup using intelligence algorithms inspired by how fish schools avoid hunters. Compared to building artificial islands, this method preserves 68% more marine (海洋) life and uses surfaces that absorb rainwater to reduce flooding risks. However, challenges persist. Seawater slowly harms materials, requiring repair every four months, and emergency plans for extreme weather are still under way. “This isn’t about abandoning coasts but evolving with them,” notes designer Tim Fu. While some question long-term possibility, the design redefines urban resilience. Unlike rigid sea walls, these dynamic structures harmonize with oceanic rhythms, offering a blueprint for climate solutions. “Cities must learn to dance with the waves,” Curci says. This philosophy could transform humanity’s relationship with rising seas, turning threats into sustainable opportunities. 8. What drove Luca Curci Architects to come up with a new design? A. Energy crisis. B. Potential disasters. C. Tourism expansion. D. Overcrowded cities. 9. Which of the following best describes Luca Curci’s design? A. Fictional and renewable. B. Adaptable and innovative. C. Eco-friendly and immovable. D. Wave-resistant and conventional. 10. A limitation of Luca Curci’s design is that ______. A. it threatens marine life B. it lacks clean energy options C. it requires regular maintenance D. it ignores coastal water changes 11. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. Ocean Protection: Life under Threat B. Rising with the Tides: Floating Cities C. Connecting to the Future: Eco Solutions D. Coastal Design: Inspiration from Bamboo 【答案】8. B 9. B 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了意大利威尼斯的Luca Curci建筑师事务所设计的浮动城市方案。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Driven by alarming estimates that 36.6 million people in Asian coastal cities like Mumbai could face flooding by 2070, Luca Curci Architects, based in Venice, Italy, has released Floating City — a design that would allow urban areas to rise with the waters while making use of renewable energies to reduce their own carbon emissions. (据估计，到2070年，像孟买这样的亚洲沿海城市将有3660万人面临洪水的威胁，意大利威尼斯的Luca Curci建筑师事务所推出了浮动城市——一种能让城市区域随水位上升，同时利用可再生能源减少自身碳排放的设计。)”可知，潜在的灾难促使Luca Curci建筑师事务所提出新设计。故选B项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“a design that would allow urban areas to rise with the waters while making use of renewable energies to reduce their own carbon emissions.

After all, “Was Henry Ⅷ a good king?” is a reasonable question to ask either a classroom of nine-year-olds or a lecture theatre of postgraduates. But “Solve this quadratic equation (二次方程式)” would leave the classroom at a loss and the lecture theatre unimpressed. Maths is learned by doing and designing a problem that is easy enough to be accessible, yet hard enough to be satisfying, is a big headache in itself. Partly for this reason, books that successfully communicate how mathematicians think, but are aimed at those not already in the field, are both valuable and rare. Now Sir David Spiegelhalter, professor of statistics at the University of Cambridge, has added to the category with The Art of Uncertainty. His new book will appeal to many more than just mathematicians, for its topic is universal: how to analyse chance, uncertainty and risk. If a new virus is running wild and the majority of deaths are among those who have received a newer vaccine, is that evidence that the vaccination program is harmful? How much of top football teams’ performance comes down to luck rather than skill? Professor Spiegelhalter’s exploration of such questions is delightful. First, he uses them to illustrate broader ideas about how probability and statistics work. So a discussion of vaccine safety proceeds to Bayes’s theorem (贝叶斯定理), a procedure for improving one’s judgment of probabilities as new evidence comes to light. The joy of Professor Spiegelhalter’s approach is that he reaches this deep truth through nothing more than some intuitive assumptions and very simple maths. Most important, though, is Professor Spiegelhalter’s skill at communicating these ideas. Much of probability and statistics can go against our intuition, and the maths behind it is often fearsome. But this is not a difficult book to read or understand. 12. What can we know from paragraph 1? A. Designing math homework is easier. B. Quadratic equation may confuse young learners. C. Nine-year-olds enjoy history questions. D. Postgraduates find math problems too simple. 13. What is the biggest selling point of The Art of Uncertainty according to the author? A. It covers various topics. B. It casts light on math thoughts. C. It satisfies maths professionals. D. It makes sense to ordinary people. 14. How does Professor Spiegelhalter explain probability and statistics? A. By using advanced mathematical formulas. B. By analyzing real-life questions with simple maths. C. By discussing complex scientific theories. D. By conducting experiments in lecture theatres. 15. The text is probably written to ______. A. introduce a new book on mathematics. B. compare teaching mathematics with history. C. explain complex mathematical theories simply. D. persuade people to study probability and statistics. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了剑桥大学统计学教授斯皮格尔哈尔特教授的新书《不确定性的艺术》，介绍了其内容特色及价值。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“But “Solve this quadratic equation (二次方程式)” would leave the classroom at a loss and the lecture theatre unimpressed. (但是“解这个二次方程式”会让教室里的学生不知所措，也让讲座厅里的人无动于衷。)”可知，二次方程式可能会让年轻的学习者感到困惑。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“His new book will appeal to many more than just mathematicians, for its topic is universal: how to analyse chance, uncertainty and risk. (他的新书将吸引的不仅仅是数学家，因为它的主题是普遍的：如何分析机会、不确定性和风险。)”可知，这本书对普通人来说很有意义，这是它最大的卖点。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Professor Spiegelhalter’s exploration of such questions is delightful. First, he uses them to illustrate broader ideas about how probability and statistics work. So a discussion of vaccine safety proceeds to Bayes’s theorem (贝叶斯定理), a procedure for improving one’s judgment of probabilities as new evidence comes to light. The joy of Professor Spiegelhalter’s approach is that he reaches this deep truth through nothing more than some intuitive assumptions and very simple maths. (斯皮格尔哈尔特教授对这些问题的探索令人愉快。首先，他用它们来说明概率和统计是如何工作的更广泛的概念。因此，对疫苗安全性的讨论遵循贝叶斯定理，这是一种随着新证据的出现而改进对概率判断的程序。斯皮格尔哈尔特教授的方法的乐趣在于，他仅仅通过一些直观的假设和非常简单的数学就达到了这个深刻的真理。)”可知，斯皮格尔哈尔特教授通过用简单的数学分析现实生活中的问题来解释概率和统计。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是根据第二段中“Now Sir David Spiegelhalter, professor of statistics at the University of Cambridge, has added to the category with The Art of Uncertainty.His new book will appeal to many more than just mathematicians, for its topic is universal: how to analyse chance, uncertainty and risk.

People feel actually more _____45_____ (attach) to the job in that they get rewarded by having more time. 【答案】36. trials 37. moving 38. culturally 39. which 40. productivity 41. stressful 42. a 43. being run 44. by 45. attached 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要探讨了冰岛试行四天工作制取得显著成功这一现象，分析了其受关注的原因以及在不同文化中应用的可能性。 【36题详解】 考查名词复数。句意：但冰岛试行的四天工作制被认为非常成功。根据谓语动词“were”可知，主语应用复数形式，trial意为“试验，试行”，是可数名词，所以此处填trials。故填trials。 【37题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：它们促使许多工人缩短工作时间，世界各地的工人也在追随这一趋势。lead to sb. doing sth.为固定搭配，意为“导致某人做某事”，其中to是介词，所以此处用动名词moving。故填moving。 38题详解】 考查副词。句意：为什么这种做法越来越受欢迎，它有可能在不同文化中应用吗？此处修饰动词“apply”，应用副词culturally，意为“从文化角度；在文化方面”。故填culturally。 【39题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：这些试验于2015年进行，涉及2500多名工人。此处为非限制性定语从句，先行词为“The trials”，指物，关系词在从句中作主语，所以用关系代词which引导该定语从句。故填which。 【40题详解】 考查名词。句意：据报道，大多数工作场所的生产力保持不变或有所提高。根据空前的“that”及空后的“remained”可知，此处应用名词productivity作主语，意为“生产力”，不可数。故填productivity。 【41题详解】 考查形容词。句意：与此同时，他们发现自己的工作条件压力较小，不再有倦怠的风险，他们的健康和工作与生活的平衡也得到了改善。此处位于系动词“were”后作表语，描述“working conditions(工作条件)”的特征，应用形容词stressful，意为“有压力的”。故填stressful。 【42题详解】 考查冠词。句意：因此，有史以来世界上最大规模的缩短工作周试验无论从哪个角度衡量都是一次彻底的成功。success在此处表示“成功的事”，是可数名词，此处表示泛指“一次彻底的成功”，且“complete”是以辅音音素开头的单词，所以用不定冠词a。故填a。 【43题详解】 考查动词语态和时态。句意：目前，世界各地正在进行一些其他试验。根据时间状语“now”可知，此处表示现在正在进行的动作，且trials与run之间是被动关系，即“试验被进行”，所以用现在进行时的被动语态，其结构为“am/is/are + being +过去分词”，此处填being run。故填being run。 【44题详解】 考查介词。句意：例如，新西兰的联合利华在一项试验中，让员工有机会在不影响工资的情况下将工作时间减少20%。“cut... by + 百分数”表示“减少……（百分之几）”，所以此处填by。故填by。 【45题详解】 考查形容词。句意：人们实际上觉得自己与这份工作的联系更紧密了，因为他们通过拥有更多时间得到了回报。feel为系动词，此处应用形容词attached作表语，be/feel attached to意为“喜爱；依恋；与……有紧密联系”。故填attached。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 46. 同学们即将升入高三，站在新的起点上，请你回顾高二生活，给高三开学第一天的自己写一封信，内容包括： 1.高二生活中一个难忘的经历或挑战； 2.你意识到的自身不足； 3.对高三学习生活的规划与决心。 注意： 1.写作词数应为80左右； 2.不得出现真实姓名、班级等个人信息； 3.信件开头已给出，不计入总字数。 Dear Future Me, As Senior Year kicks off memories of Grade 11 are still fresh. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Your friend, Present Me 【答案】Dear Future Me, As Senior Year kicks off, memories of Grade 11 are still fresh.

The real world— the campus life he had heard so much about, the decisions on what to study, what career to pursue, and how to find his place— felt like a heavy weight on his chest. He had no clue what his future held. One afternoon, Jake’s mom suggested he spend some time volunteering at the community center. “It might be a good way to take your mind off things,” she said. At first, he resisted. Volunteering didn't sound like the right way to prepare for college. He needed to focus on his future, not wasting time helping others. But eventually, he agreed unwillingly. When Jake first arrived at the center, the atmosphere felt unfamiliar but warm. It was a small, comfortable space with colorful walls, art supplies, and kids playing in the corner. He was assigned to help with the kids’ art class. The first few days were uneventful. Jake just sat back, passing out crayons, organizing the art supplies, and occasionally offering a word of encouragement to the kids. But one particular day, a girl caught his attention. Her name was Layla, and she was sitting in the corner, quietly staring down at a blank canvas (画布), with her hands wrapped tightly around a paintbrush. Her brush paused above the canvas as if she were waiting for permission to make the first mark. Jake had no experience with art and didn’t know how to guide Layla. But something about her hesitation touched his heart. He walked over to her and asked, “Hey, Layla, what's going on? Why aren't you painting?” She looked up at him with large brown eyes, then down at her hands, which were holding the paintbrush tightly but not moving. “I’m not good at it,” she replied. “I don’t know how to make it look like what’s in my mind.” 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Jake sat beside her, smiling. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As Layla’s confidence grew, Jake felt a shift within himself. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Jake sat beside her, smiling. “You know, Layla,” he said gently, “art isn’t about making something look perfect. It’s about expressing what’s inside you. There’s no right or wrong way to paint. Just close your eyes and think about that beautiful thing in your mind, then let the brush move freely on the canvas.” Layla listened intently, her eyes fixed on Jake. Slowly, she took a deep breath and made the first stroke. Jake watched with encouragement, nodding and offering words of praise for each new color she added. Bit by bit, a beautiful landscape emerged on the canvas. As Layla’s confidence grew, Jake felt a shift within himself. He realized that helping others could bring such a sense of fulfillment. The joy on Layla’s face when she finally saw her completed painting was like a light bulb going off in his head. He understood that his own future didn’t have to be a burden. Just as he had guided Layla to express herself, he could also find his own path step by step. Volunteering wasn’t a waste of time at all. It was a chance to learn, grow, and see the world from a different perspective. From that day on, Jake was no longer weighed down by the unknowns of his future. Instead, he was excited to explore new possibilities and make a difference, just like he did for Layla. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，Jake在高中升大学的关键时期，因对未来的迷茫而倍感压力。妈妈建议他去社区中心做志愿者，起初他抗拒但最终同意。在那他帮儿童上美术课，遇到不敢画画的Layla，他鼓励她，自己也在这个过程中有所感悟。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Jake微笑着在她身旁坐下。”可以预测续写这段主要内容： Jake坐在Layla身旁温柔鼓励她，在Jake的鼓励下，一幅美丽风景画在画布上逐渐呈现。 ②由第二段首句内容“随着Layla信心渐增，Jake发觉自己内心也有了转变。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：Jake意识到帮助他人带来的满足感，明白志愿服务的意义，不再为未来未知焦虑，而是期待探索新可能。 2.续写线索： Jake坐身旁——温柔鼓励Layla——美丽风景画呈现—— Jake的感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.说： say/utter ②.意识到……：realize that/be aware that ③.帮助：help/assist/aid 情绪类 ①.快乐： joy/delight/happiness ②.兴奋的：excited/excitative/exalted 【点睛】[高分句型1].
