I didn’t want to spoil the perfect days. Molly brought us so much joy and laughter with her playful and adorable traits. The girls took their responsibility as pet owners seriously, ensuring that the cute creature had plenty of food, water, and toys. But at the sight of the heartwarming scene where my daughters were happily playing with the puppy, I couldn’t bear the thought of causing someone else pain and heartache just because of my sheer selfishness and avoidance. After days of struggle, I finally made up my mind and dialed the number in the ad to arrange a meeting with the owners. The girls were overwhelmingly devastated/stricken when I told them the whole story. But in the end, they decided to go with me. The moment Molly met the family, she sprinted towards the couple, who were obviously overcome with the joy and touch of regaining. They expressed deep gratitude for our taking care of their “beloved treasure”. It was a bittersweet moment as we waved goodbyes. As we walked away, tears streamed down the girls’ faces, and I gave them a hug and wiped away their tears. “I know it is hard, but you make it.” I was so proud of them for their responsibility, empathy, and the ability to make the right choice even when it was difficult. ” 部分详解 第一节 A篇 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了治疗焦虑和抑郁的谈话疗法。 21．细节理解题。根据第一段中“They can help if you’re struggling with things like feelings of depression, excessive worry, social anxiety or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).(如果你正遭受抑郁、过度担忧、社交焦虑或创伤后应激障碍 (PTSD) 等情绪困扰，它们可以为你提供帮助)”可知，害怕与他人相处是社交焦虑的一种表现，由此可知，如果你害怕与人相处，那么建议你接受谈话疗法，故选D。 22．细节理解题。根据Types of talking therapies部分下的Examples of talking therapies include:中第二段“CBT helps you notice and challenge thoughts or behaviours to help you feel better.(CBT可帮助你注意并挑战想法或行为，从而帮助你感觉更好)”可知，在治疗期间，在注意并挑战想法后，你会感觉好一些。故选C。 23．推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是标题“Talking therapies for anxiety and depression(治疗焦虑和抑郁的谈话疗法)”可知，文章主要介绍了谈话疗法的适作用以及类型，由此可推知，这篇文章的目的是让人们了解谈话疗法，故选A。 B篇 24．D 25．C 26．D 27．A 【导语】本文是记叙文。介绍了英国作家Lara Prior-Palmer在18岁时参加极具挑战性的Mongol Derby的经历以及她的首次著作《Rough Magic》。 24．推理判断题。根据第二段““Somehow,” she writes at the beginning, “against all the odds, I won a race labeled the longest and toughest in the world and became the youngest person, and first female, ever to have done so.” (“不知怎么的，”她在开头写道，“克服了所有的困难，我赢得了这场被称为世界上最长、最艰难的比赛，成为有史以来最年轻的人，也是第一位做到这一点的女性。”)”可知，Prior-Palmer成为有史以来最年轻的人，也是第一位做到这一点的女性，所以应是感到骄傲。故选D项。 25．推理判断题。根据第二段“Yet her story avoids overused phrases of self-praise, balancing vivid landscapes with honest words about painful saddle (马鞍) wounds and bad-smelling outdoor toilets, making it an unusual pleasure to read.(然而，她的故事避免了过度的自我赞美，在生动的风景和对痛苦的马蹄伤和难闻的户外厕所的诚实描述之间取得了平衡，使其成为一种不同寻常的阅读乐趣)”可知，《Rough Magic》的语言风格是描述性的。故选C项。 26．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“By the end of Rough Magic, Prior-Palmer is amazed by the land around her. “Living in desertion,” she writes, “the land knows what I don’t: no one can carve a story into earth or sky. The wind sweeps the clouds away, the stage clears for another day.”(在《Rough Magic》的尾声，Prior-Palmer被周遭的天地所震撼。“栖居在这片荒芜中，”她写道，“大地知晓我所不知的真理：无人能在山川苍穹刻下永恒的故事。风会抹平云迹，舞台每日重置。”)”可知，这片土地随时间和天气而变化，让Prior-Palmer印象深刻。故选D项。 27．推理判断题。根据第二段“In her first book, Rough Magic, Prior-Palmer describes her ride in all its pain, boredom, and ultimate success.(在她的第一本书《Rough Magic》中，Prior-Palmer描述了她经历的所有痛苦、无聊和最终的成功)”可知，Rough Magic是关于一次苦乐参半的旅程。故选A项。 C篇 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了一项研究表明准时提交质量不错的项目比拖延追求完美更好。 28．词句猜测题。根据第一段中“But according to a recent study, it is better to deliver a good-enough project on schedule rather than perfecting it through procrastination. (但根据最近的一项研究，最好是按时交付一个足够好的项目，而不是通过procrastination来完善它)”可知，按时交付项目比拖延来完善项目更好，所以procrastination的意思是“拖延”，与Delay意思相近。故选A。 29．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Respondents who were told it was late consistently rated the work as worse in quality than those who were told the same work was early or on time. (被告知工作迟交的受访者一致认为，这项工作的质量比被告知工作早交或按时交的受访者更差)”可知，研究结果表明，迟交的工作得到的评价更负面。故选C。 30．推理判断题。根据第三段中“Respondents who were told it was late consistently rated the work as worse in quality than those who were told the same work was early or on time. (被告知工作迟交的受访者一致认为，这项工作的质量比被告知工作早交或按时交的受访者更差)”、第四段中“A field experiment was conducted in a high school in China that had students grade pieces of art in a staged contest. The art was on a piece of paper that also included the date it was submitted. Even though the kids were told to ignore all other details on the paper other than the art itself, the works submitted after the deadline received lower grades. (在中国的一所高中进行了一项实地实验，让学生们在一次分阶段的比赛中给艺术品打分。艺术品印在一张纸上，上面还写着提交日期。尽管孩子们被告知要忽略除艺术品本身以外的所有其他细节，但逾期提交的作品得分较低)”可知，通过提到中国的实地实验，作者想表明这个发现适用于不同的年龄和文化。故选D。 31．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“If it was due to forces beyond an employee’s control, evaluators didn’t end up with as negative a view of the work as they did when the reason was one within their control. “If the reason why you missed the deadline was beyond your control, you as the employee should let your manager know,” Maglio says. (如果这是由于员工无法控制的因素造成的，评估人员对工作的看法就不会像原因在他们控制范围内时那么负面。Maglio说：“如果你错过最后期限的原因超出了你的控制范围，作为员工，你应该让你的经理知道”)”可知，如果员工错过最后期限的原因是无法控制的，那么他们应该让经理知道，即员工应该报告不可避免的失误。故选D。 D篇 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章指出电网中大量使用风能和太阳能的国家因天然气价格上涨面临能源账单增加问题，分析了原因并提出解决办法。 32．细节理解题。根据第一段中“The relationship between decarbonisation and swings in prices has been a controversial issue as governments consider clean energy strategies, but an analysis of power prices has now provided evidence to inform the debate.(在各国政府考虑清洁能源战略时，脱碳与价格波动之间的关系一直是一个有争议的问题，但对电价的分析现在为这场辩论提供了依据)”可知，有争议的问题是脱碳是否与波动的电价有关。故选D项。 33．词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“Vast quantities of wind and solar capacity have been introduced across Europe in recent years, but these power sources are intermittent, generating electricity only when winds blow or the sky is cloudless.(近年来，欧洲各地引进了大量的风能和太阳能发电能力，但这些能源是……，只有在有风或天空无云时才能发电)”可知，风能和太阳能只有在特定条件下才能发电，说明这两种能源是不稳定的。所以划线词“intermittent”的意思是“不稳定的”，与C项“Unstable”同义。故选C项。 34．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Gas power plants, which can be switched on and off relatively easily, are frequently relied on to provide power when renewable generation is low.(燃气发电厂的开启和关闭相对容易，在可再生能源发电量较低时，人们经常依靠它们来供电)”可知，在高可再生能源系统中仍然需要天然气是因为它可以迅速填补供应缺口。故选B项。 35．推理判断题。根据第二段中“Vast quantities of wind and solar capacity have been introduced across Europe in recent years, but these power sources are intermittent, generating electricity only when winds blow or the sky is cloudless.(近年来，欧洲各地已经引进了大量的风能和太阳能发电能力，但这些能源是间歇性的，只有在刮风或天空无云的时候才会发电)”和第五段中“It is the need for flexible generation alongside wind and solar that is the issue. Bajo Buenestado points out that other nations with low carbon power grids, such as Norway and France, rely on hydropower and nuclear technology, which are reliable generators.(除了风能和太阳能之外，对灵活发电的需求才是问题所在。巴霍-布埃内斯泰多指出，其他拥有低碳电网的国家，如挪威和法国，依靠的是水电和核技术，它们是可靠的发电方式)”可知，风能和太阳能两种能源是不稳定的，而水电和核电是稳定的。所以，结合选项，核电(稳定)与风电(可再生)的组合是理想模式。故选D项。 七选五 主题语境：人与自我 【语篇导读】文章主要讲述了作者对定向越野这项运动的热爱。作者在十岁时接触到定 向越野，并一直坚持到现在，并希望继续坚持下去。 36. D 段中承上启下。前文提到路线未被标记，因此参与者需要自己决定最佳路线。 选项 D “每个参与者决定跑步或步行的最佳路线” 与前文逻辑紧密。 “decides the best route” 也与后文 “builds physical endurance and mental sharpness，with each move requiring split-second judgement” 形成照应。故选D。 37. G 段尾总结。前文提到作者在森林边的村庄长大，喜欢大自然。选项 G“这些经历为我热爱户外活动奠定了基础”很好地总结了作者童年经历对定向越野爱好的影响，也顺接了下文定向越野这一户外运动。故选 G。 38. E 段中承上启下。前文提到作者的父母也参与了定向越野，这提供了新的维度，后文通过一起参加和讨论定向越野，家庭关系变得更加紧密。选项 E“我认为定向越野是家庭活动的完美选择”语义上连接前后，符合段落主旨。故选 E。 39. F 段首主旨句。后文提到比赛地点通常是作者从未去过的地方，提供了独特的风景。选项 F“我也欣赏定向越野如何将我们与不同的地方联系起来”与后文内容一致。故选F。 40. C 段尾句。段落结尾提到定向越野是终生的爱好。选项C “我希望我能继续下去很多年” 表达了作者对未来的期望，符合段落主旨和文章大意。故选C。 听力材料 Text 1 M: Come here and watch the football match with me. W: Alright. Finally I can relax a little after doing the laundry … Oh, no. The stove is still on! The soup must be drying up. I need to go. Text 2 W: I couldn’t find Tom in the playground. M: Oh, he was here in the classroom just now, and Miss White asked him to go to her office. He’s probably still there. Text 3 M: The rain has stopped. Come on! It’s time to set off. W: But look at the clouds. I suggest we stay here till the sun comes out. Text 4 W: Oh, no. The subway has already stopped running. Do you know where the bus station is? M: Don’t bother. I’ll just use my cellphone to call a taxi to take us home. W: Okay. Text 5 M: The movie is a masterpiece. Don’t you think so? I wonder how the director could make something so extraordinary. W: You don’t really mean it, do you? I’m glad the two hours of suffering in that cinema has finally ended. 18Text 6 M: Lucy, why did you turn down my sister Janice’s invitation to the barbecue? W: Well, I have other plans … M: Oh, don’t lie to me. You told me yesterday that you didn’t know what to do for the weekend. Did you have a quarrel with Janice or something? W: Oh, no. It’s not like that. Okay, I confess. You know it’s a barbecue, which means meat would be involved. I just hate to make others feel awkward since I eat no meat at all. M: Awkward? All of my sisters’ friends embrace differences with both of their arms. Plus, I already told my sister to prepare many vegetables for you. W: Oh, sorry. I didn’t know that. Text 7 W: Excuse me, I just had my lunch here about half an hour ago, and I accidentally left my book on the table. M: Okay, Miss. Half an hour ago … That was 11:45, right? W: Yeah. M: And do you remember which table you sat beside? W: Table 20, and my book’s name is Once Upon a River. M: I see. Please wait for a moment. Here. Is it yours? W: Oh, yes! Thank you so much. M: Don’t mention it. You’re lucky that one of our waitresses found it. Have a nice afternoon, Miss. Text 8 W: Honey, look at this beautiful red tie. You’ll surely look very handsome if you wear it on your company’s year-end party. M: Let me see. 200 dollars for a tie? That’s too expensive! W: No, that’s the original price. They’re giving a promotion on the website now. It’s 50% cheaper. M: Not as cheap as I’d expected. W: Okay. What do you think of this yellow tie then? It’s only 50 dollars, and it looks good, too. M: Ah, too bright. I like this blue one. It’s more low-key. W: What’s wrong to be a little high-key when you’re the annual sales champion? I think the yellow one is just fine. M: Okay. It’s up to you. Text 9 W: Noah, why did you start horse-riding? M: Well, as a small child, I never had much interest in horses, though I wasn’t scared of them. My older sister started horse-riding lessons. I saw the look on her face when she came home — really cheerful, so that’s why I decided to try it. W: Do you think horse-riding makes you fitter? M: Actually I was always pretty fit because I liked walking, but being with horses so much has made me calmer and more willing to wait for things. W: Do you take part in horse-riding competitions? 19M: Yeah. I thought they were just for people who own their horses, but you can borrow or even hire one easily enough. And I met lots of friends there. W: Will you carry on riding when you’re older? M: My family suggested I could teach the little kids at the club to ride, but what really attracts me is the idea of training horses, you know, the ones they use for races. Text 10 M: Happy New Year, students! We hope everyone had a fantastic Christmas, but it’s time to get back to work. We have a lot to do between now and your summer vacation, and the first thing on the agenda is to prepare for this year’s performance of The Little Mermaid. In order for this play to work, we need everyone to help. Mrs. Blake is holding tryouts in the drama room after school. Music students are encouraged to see their teacher in the band room. This lunch hour, we are looking for people to work on the stage crew. If you would like to be a lighting director, a stage manager, or a part of the sound crew, go to the video room. Art students will be mainly responsible for creating a large ocean painting that will be used for the background. Other duties include painting furniture, making posters and other promotional material, and creating decorations. Volunteers will help do the work, too. If all goes well, we will finish our preparations by March 31st. This will give Mrs. Blake and the cast a full month to practice for the performance. At the beginning of May, they will be able to give us an amazing performance. 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$福州三中2024-2025学年第二学期高二期末考试 英语试卷 (试卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟) 注意事项： 1.答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号等填写在答题卡上 2,回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标 号涂黑。如需改动，用檬皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时， 将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 第一部分听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷 上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 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，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。 1.What will the woman do next?

B At 18,British writer Lara Prior-Palmer chose an extraordinary path:the Mongol Derby,an extremely challenging 1,000-kilometer horse race across Mongolia's wilderess In her first book,Rough Magic.Prior-Palmer describes her ride in all its pain. boredom,and ultimate success."Somehow,"she writes at the beginning,"against all the odds,I won a race labeled the longest and toughest in the world and became the youngest person,and first female,ever to have done so."Yet her story avoids overused phrases of self-praise,balancing vivid landscapes with honest words about painful saddle (wounds and bad-smelling outdoor toilets,making it an unusual pleasure to read. For much of the book,she and her horses-25 in all,a new horse every 40 km- drag slowly with great effort across a landscape that resists Prior-Palmer's sight.She's especially gifted with metaphor-when it rains,"there appears a smooth path behind us,as though the earth is water and we have been fish,until now,"and the clouds are "piled high as if lining up for a funeral".For every gorgeous metaphor,there's a pair of wet riding trousers or a toilet that is only"a smelly hole in the ground with wet boards above to stop you from slipping into it." By the end of Rough Magic,Prior-Palmer is amazed by the land around her. "Living in desertion,"she writes,"the land knows what I don't:no one can carve a story into earth or sky.The wind sweeps the clouds away,the stage clears for another day." She keeps competing,while trying to persuade herself to be more patient,and humbler. Her final hope is not to win the race-though she wants that,too-but to let the race make her free. Rough Magic seems to stand as proof that she succeeded.And as I read it from the skyless comfort of my couch,I briefly felt a bit freer,too. 24.How did Prior-Palmer teel about her performance in Mongol Derby? A.Unsatisfied.B.Pitiful. C.Expected. D.Iroud. 25.What is the language style of Rough Magic? A.Plain. B.Humorous. C.Descriptive. D.Logical. 26.Why does the land impress Prior Palmer? A.It blocks heavy winds. B.It mirrors human evolution. C.It shows competitive spirits D.It varies with time and weather. 27.What is Rough Magic about? AA bittersweet journey. B.A well-grounded theory. C.An inspiring fairy tale D.An impressive landscape People pursuing perfection and those valuing being on time often don't see eye to eye in the workplace.But according to a recent study,it is better to deliver a good-enough project on schedule iather than perfecting it through procrastination. Researchers surveyed thousands of people in the U.S.and U.K,including managers and others whose jobs included evaluating others.They presented participants with the same examples of work,and then asked them to rate it.But first,they mentioned whether it was either submitted early,right at the deadline or late. Respondents who were told it was late consistently rated the work as worse in quality than those who were told the same work was carly or on time.The study aiso found there wasn't much benefit to submitting work early since evaluators tended to rank work submitted before and at the deadline as the same quality.Furthermore,it didn't matter how late the work was submtted,with one-day or one-week delays viewed just as negatively and that remained the case if the employee gave their manager advance warning. A field experiment was conducted in a high school in China that had students grade pieces of art in a staged contest.The art was on a piece of paper that also included the date it was submitted.Even though the kids were told to ignore all other details on the paper other than the art itself,the works submitted after the deadline received lower grades.That study made the broader point that it didn't really matter who set the deadline.In the eyes of the evaluator,any miss was a meaningful miss. However,the reason behind the missed deadline mattered,researchers found.If it was due to forces beyond an employee's control,evaluators didn't end up with as negative a view of the work as they did when the reason was one within their control. "If the reason why you missed the deadline was beyond your control,you as the employee should let your manager know,"Maglio says."That seems to be one of the few situations in which people cut you a break." 28.What does the underlined word"procrastination"un paragraph 1 mean? A.Delay. B.Editing. C.Teamwork. D.Reviewing. 29.What can be concluded from the research result? A.Minimal delays get better evaluations. B.Preannounced delays get positive feedback. C.Late submissions are more negatively judged. D.Submitting work early means a lot in evaluations 30.What does the author want to show by mentioning the field experiment in China? A.Kids judge submissions more objectively. B.The art itself rather than other details counts. C A peer-to-peer evaluation can be informative. D.The finding holds true across age and culture. 31.What can be implied from the last paragraph Employees get unfair reviews. 3.A set deadline is absolutely unchangeable. C.Bosses should care about employees. D Employees should report unavoidable misses. D Nations with large amounts of wind and solar in their power grids (are particularly exposed to rising energy bills due to sharp increases in the gas price The relationship between decarbonisation and swings in prices has beed a controversial issue as governments consider clean energy strategies,but an analysis of power prices has now provided evidence to inform the debate. Vast quantities of wind and solar capacity have been introduced across Europe in recent years,but these power sources are intermittent,generating electricity only when winds blow or the sky is cloudless Gas power plants,which can be switched on and off relatively easily,are frequently relied on to provide power wben renewahle generation is low.But gas is often the most expensive source of power,and electricity market rules mean the most expensive generator sets the price for the entire market. Rau Bajo-Bucnestado at the University of Navarra and his colleagues found nations with more wind and solar in their power systems were more vulnerable( )to natural gas price shocks.Spain,for example,has large volumes ot sotar power and is particularly sensitive to power price changes."If you have natural gas,wind and solar,this is going to make the perfect cocktail for you to be vulnerable,"says Bajo-Buenestado. It is the need for flexible generation alongside wind and solar that is the issue. Bajo-Buenestado points out that other nations with low-carbon power grids,such as Norway and France,rely on hydropower and nuclear technology,which are reliable generators."We don't see a clear correlation botweon decarbonisation and sensitivity to natural gas price changes,"he says. Solving the problem will require nations to replace gas as the back-up fuel of choice.One answer is for grid operators to push the power system to become better able to absorb peaks and valleys in generation."The underlying message is that getting a flexible system is now as important as bulding renewables,"says Michael Grubb at University College London. 32.What does the controversial issue in the first paragraph refer to? A.How rising gas prices will affect power grids. B.Which countries may face higher energy bills C.What should be included in clean energy strategies. D.Whether carbon cuts are linked to varying power prices 33.What does the underlined word"intermittent"in paragraph 2 probably mean? A.Faulty. B.Costly. C.Unstable.
