He was a scientist in inventer and also a great architect. What made bug minter so special was his concern for the planet and humans. When you have a shortage of resources, he said, you get war. Thus, he claimed that to solve humans major problems, we have to anticipate what will become problems as resources reduce. He was especially interested in developing more efficient housing, that is a new way of constructing buildings so that they provide more housing space with the use of fewer resources. One solution he came up with in the late nineteen and forties was a structure shaped like a piece of the globe, which amazed the world and brought him international reputation. That's IT for today's daily take away. Tomorrow will introduce one of the most influential lectures in oxford university. Have you ever heard of a man named the buck minter fuller?

The hot sun beat down on the track, and the roar of the crowd seemed distant. I had trained hard all summer, but now, facing my toughest competitor, Sarah Chen, doubt crept in. She always seemed to have an extra burst of speed at the end. The starting gun fired. We surged forward, a pack of brightly colored jerseys. The first lap felt surprisingly smooth, but as we rounded the curve into the second lap, the familiar burn started in my lungs. Sarah pulled slightly ahead. “Just keep her in sight,” I told myself, remembering Coach’s words: “Run your own race.” With 200 meters to go, the gap between Sarah and me widened. My legs screamed to slow down, and negative thoughts flooded my mind: “You can’t catch her. Second place is okay.” I glanced at the stands and saw my teammates waving wildly, their faces full of encouragement. Then, Coach’s voice cut through the noise: “Kick NOW, Mia! Everything you’ve got!” Something clicked. It wasn’t just about winning against Sarah anymore; it was about pushing myself to my absolute limit, about honoring all those hours of practice. I dug deep, deeper than I ever had before. My arms pumped harder, my stride lengthened, and I focused solely on the finish line ribbon. The pain was intense, but it was pushed aside by sheer determination. The last few meters were a blur. I threw myself forward. As I crossed the line, breathless and wobbly, I had no idea who had won. Then I heard the announcement: “First place ... Mia Johnson!” A wave of disbelief and pure joy washed over me. Sarah finished a split-second later, offering a tired but genuine smile and a handshake. “Great kick,” she said, breathing heavily. That moment of mutual respect meant almost as much as the medal. That race taught me more than just how to run faster. It taught me that your biggest competitor is often yourself — the voice that says you can’t. And that finding the strength to silence that voice, even for just the final stretch, can lead to achievements you never thought possible. 24. How did Mia feel at the beginning of the race? A. Confident and energetic. B. Focused solely on beating Sarah. C. Excited by the crowd’s noise. D. Doubtful and physically heavy. 25. When the coach shouts “Kick NOW, Mia”, the word “kick” most probably means ________. A. to ignore pain and continue moving B. to strike the ground with one’s foot C. to suddenly increase running speed D. to focus on proper running form 26. What is the symbolic meaning of Sarah offering Mia a handshake after the race? A. It reflects the universal sportsmanship spirit. B. It helps to cover Sarah’s disappointment in losing the race. C. It highlights Mia’s physical superiority. D. It indicates Sarah’s pity for Mia’s effort. 27 What does Mia realize is the most important thing she learned from the race? A. Winning against a strong competitor is the ultimate goal. B. Following Coach’s instructions is crucial for success. C. Her biggest challenge is overcoming her own self-doubt. D. Physical pain is temporary, but medals last forever. 【答案】24. D 25. C 26. A 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了赛季最后800米赛跑，米娅面对劲敌萨拉，一度想放弃，在队友和教练鼓励下奋力冲刺夺冠。萨拉表示敬佩，这场比赛让米娅明白最大的对手是自己，坚持能带来意外成就。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“It was the final race of the season, the 800 meters, and my legs felt like lead. The hot sun beat down on the track, and the roar of the crowd seemed distant. I had trained hard all summer, but now, facing my toughest competitor, Sarah Chen, doubt crept in.(这是本赛季的最后一场比赛，是800米赛跑，我的双腿沉重得像铅块一样。炽热的阳光直射在跑道上，观众的欢呼声听起来很遥远。整个夏天我都在刻苦训练，但现在面对我最强劲的对手萨拉·陈，心中的疑虑悄然涌起)”可知，米娅在比赛开始时感到怀疑且身体沉重。故选D。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“She always seemed to have an extra burst of speed at the end.(她似乎总能在最后时刻爆发出额外的速度)”以及第三段“With 200 meters to go, the gap between Sarah and me widened. My legs screamed to slow down, and negative thoughts flooded my mind: “You can’t catch her. Second place is okay.” I glanced at the stands and saw my teammates waving wildly, their faces full of encouragement. Then, Coach’s voice cut through the noise: “Kick NOW, Mia! Everything you’ve got!”(还剩200米的时候，我和萨拉之间的差距越来越大。我的双腿拼命地想要减速，负面的想法涌上心头：“你追不上她的。第二名也就可以了。”我瞥了一眼看台，看到队友们疯狂地挥舞着手臂，脸上满是鼓励的神情。接着，教练的声音穿透了嘈杂声：“现在Kick，米娅！你全力以赴！”)”可知，教练喊全力以赴，应该是让米娅“跑起来”，“Kick”这个词很可能指的是突然加快奔跑速度的意思。故选C。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Sarah finished a split-second later, offering a tired but genuine smile and a handshake. “Great kick,” she said, breathing heavily. That moment of mutual respect meant almost as much as the medal.(萨拉在几秒钟后也完成了比赛，她露出疲惫但真诚的微笑，并与我握手。“很棒的冲刺！”她气喘吁吁地说。那一刻的相互尊重几乎和奖牌一样重要)”可知，在比赛结束后，萨拉与米娅握手这一举动体现了普遍的体育精神。故选A。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“That race taught me more than just how to run faster. It taught me that your biggest competitor is often yourself — the voice that says you can’t. And that finding the strength to silence that voice, even for just the final stretch, can lead to achievements you never thought possible.(那场比赛不仅教会了我如何跑得更快，还让我明白，最大的竞争对手往往是自己——那个认为自己做不到的声音。而且，找到力量去压制住这个声音，哪怕只是在最后的冲刺阶段，也能带来你从未想过能够实现的成就)”可知，米娅意识到从这次比赛中她学到的最重要的事情是她面临的最大挑战是克服自己的自我怀疑。故选C。 C Birders get nervous when they see landscapes covered in wind turbines (涡轮机). When the wind gets going, their blades (叶片) can turn around at well over 200km per hour. It is easy to imagine careless birds getting cut into pieces and wind turbines do indeed kill at least some birds. But a new analysis of American data suggests the numbers are negligible, and have little impact on bird populations. Erik Katovich, an economist at the University of Geneva, made use of the Christmas BirdCount, a citizen-science project run by the National Audubon Society. Volunteers count birds they spot over Christmas, and the society gathers the numbers. He assumed, reasonably, that if wind turbines harmed bird populations, the numbers seen in the Christmas Bird Count would drop in places where new turbines had been built. Combining bird population and species maps with the locations and construction dates of all wind turbines, he found building turbines had no noticeable effect on bird populations. Instead of limiting his analysis to wind power alone, he also examined oil-and-gas extraction (开采), which has boomed in America over the past couple of decades. Comparing bird populations to the locations of new gas wells revealed an average 15% drop in bird numbers when new wells were drilled, probably due to a combination of noise, air pollution and the disturbance of rivers and ponds that many birds rely upon. When drilling happened in migration centers, feeding grounds or breeding locations, bird numbers instead dropped by 25%. Wind power, in other words, not only produces far less planet-heating carbon dioxide and methane than do fossil fuels. It appears to be significantly less damaging to wildlife, too. Yet that is not the impression you would get from reading the news. Dr Katovich found 173 stories in major American news media reporting the supposed negative effects that wind turbines had on birds in 2020, compared with only 46 stories discussing the effects of oil-and-gas wells. 28. What does the underlined word“negligible”in paragraph 1 mean? A. Insignificant. B. Inaccurate. C. Inconsistent. D. Indefinite. 29. What is Dr Katovich's conclusion based on? A. Previous studies. B. Relevant data. C. Reasonable prediction. D. Experiment results. 30. What message does paragraph 3 mainly try to convey? A. Oil-and-gas extraction has expanded in America. B. Birds are heavily dependent on rivers and ponds. C. Many factors lead to the decline of bird populations. D. Well drilling poses a serious threat to birds' survival. 31. Which of the following may Dr Katovich agree with? A. Wind turbines could share the sky with wildlife. B. More evidence is needed to confirm the finding. C. Wind power will be substituted for fossil fuels. D. Wind turbines deserve wider media coverage. 【答案】28. A 29. B 30. D 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是研究发现风力涡轮机对鸟类的影响微乎其微。 【28题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线单词前的“a new analysis of American data suggests the numbers(但一项对美国数据的新分析表明)”以及划线单词后的“and have little impact on bird populations.(并且对鸟类种群的影响很小。)”可知，一项对美国数据的新分析表明涡轮机对鸟类数量的影响不大，由此可知，划线单词negligible的意思应与“不重要”或者“微不足道”意思相近。故选A项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Erik Katovich, an economist at the University of Geneva, made use of the Christmas Bird Count, a citizen-science project run by the National Audubon Society.(日内瓦大学的经济学家埃里克·卡托维奇（Erik Katovich）利用了圣诞鸟类统计，这是一个由美国国家奥杜邦协会（National Audubon Society）运营的公民科学项目。)”可知，Erik Katovich的结论是基于奥杜邦协会公民科学项目“the Christmas Bird Count”获取的数据。故选B项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Comparing bird populations to the locations of new gas wells revealed an average 15% drop in bird numbers when new wells were drilled, probably due to a combination of noise, air pollution and the disturbance of rivers and ponds that many birds rely upon. When drilling happened in migration centers, feeding grounds or breeding locations, bird numbers instead dropped by 25%.(将鸟类数量与新气井的位置进行比较发现，当新气井钻探时，鸟类数量平均下降了15%，这可能是由于噪音、空气污染以及鸟类赖以生存的河流和池塘的干扰。当钻探发生在迁徙中心、觅食地或繁殖地时，鸟类数量反而下降了25%。)”可知，油气钻探造成了鸟类数量的减少，由此可以推断，油气钻探给鸟类的生存带来了严重的威胁。故选D项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据尾段中的“It appears to be significantly less damaging to wildlife, too(它对野生动物的伤害似乎也要小得多。)”以及上文中分析的涡轮机和油气钻探对鸟类数量的影响可知，作者认为相对于油气钻探来说，风力涡轮机对鸟类的影响较小，由此可以推断，作者会同意风力涡轮机可以与野生动物共存。故选A项。 D Many economists predict 2024 will be the time shoppers tighten their belts. That doesn’t mean people will stop spending, say retail (零售) analysts. But it will change what they choose to buy. With a slowing job market, global consumers are likely to move away from more high-priced purchases and focus instead on smaller, less expensive treats. The economic uncertainty means that consumers are becoming more discriminating about their purchases, says Ethan Chermofsky, senior vice president of marketing at intelligence platform Placer. ai. “There are the things we decide are necessary, and then there’s another category of things that aren’t necessary but that we consider affordable luxuries, he says. This desire for these “affordable luxuries” is common in difficult economic times. Some economists refer to the phenomenon as the “lipstick index”: a small economic increase led by budget-minded consumers seeking out relatively affordable splurges (挥霍), like small cosmetics (化妆品). Analysts at Deloitte say consumers will spend on little luxuries like specialty coffees and snacks as well. Additionally, stressed-out shoppers are prioritizing small splurge purchases for wellness and personal care. As retailers see shoppers turning to little luxuries, they’re offering more and more of them. Target, for example, has staked a flag in what they refer to as “affordable joy”, which includes a selection of self-care and cosmetic products, along with wellness-centric beauty products. Beyond diversifying their offerings, stores are also bringing in luxury-feeling products at lower price points to appeal to more consumers. Ethan says not every shopper will shift their spending to little luxuries-but even those who are still longing for the “must-haves” of social media will also look to get a deal. They want the feeling of purchasing lower-priced affordable treats. To get these goods, shoppers are likely to tap into the re-sale market for designer items at a more reasonable price. They want things that make them feel good about themselves-they just want to do it without breaking the bank. 32. What can affordable luxuries be? A. Inexpensive daily necessities. B. High-end products. C. Reasonably-priced designer items. D. High-priced purchases. 33. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The strategies retailers use. B. The joy businesses offer. C. The competition stores face. D. The products consumers buy. 34. What do most shoppers seek according to Ethan? A. Social-media deals. B. World-famous brands. C. Second-hand bargains. D. Budget-friendly pleasures. 35. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Lipstick Index: Where Does It Lead Us? B. Must-have Treats: A Future Spending Trend C. Affordable Joy: Will We Fall Into The Trap? D. Little Luxuries: A Driving Force Behind Consumption 【答案】32. C 33. A 34. D 35. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍随着就业市场的放缓，全球消费者可能会不再购买价格较高的商品，而是将注意力集中在较小的、不太昂贵的商品上以及出现这种现象的原因。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“This desire for these “affordable luxuries” is common in difficult economic times. Some economists refer to the phenomenon as the “lipstick index”: a small economic increase led by budget-minded consumers seeking out relatively affordable splurges (挥霍), like small cosmetics (化妆品).(这种对这些“负担得起的奢侈品”的渴望在经济困难时期很常见。一些经济学家将这种现象称为“口红指数”：由精打细算的消费者寻找相对负担得起的奢侈品（比如小化妆品）导致的小幅经济增长)”可知，负担得起的奢侈品是指价格合理的名牌商品。故选C。 【33题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“As retailers see shoppers turning to little luxuries, they’re offering more and more of them. Target, for example, has staked a flag in what they refer to as “affordable joy”, which includes a select ion of self-care and cosmetic products, along with wellness-centric beauty products. Beyond diversifying their offerings, stores are also bringing in luxury-feeling products at lower price points to appeal to more consumers.(当零售商看到消费者转向小奢侈品时，他们提供了越来越多的小奢侈品。例如，塔吉特在他们所谓的“负担得起的快乐”上打了个旗号，其中包括一系列精选的自我护理和化妆品，以及以健康为中心的美容产品。除了使产品多样化，商店还推出了价格较低的奢侈品，以吸引更多的消费者)”可知，第四段的主要内容是零售商使用的策略。故选A。 【34题详解】 理解理解题。根据最后一段“Ethan says not every shopper will shift their spending to little luxuries-but even those who are still longing for the “must-haves” of social media will also look to get a deal. They want the feeling of purchasing lower-priced affordable treats.(伊桑说，并不是每个购物者都会把他们的消费转移到小奢侈品上，但即使是那些仍然渴望获得社交媒体“必需品”的人，也会希望得到优惠。他们想要的是购买价格更低、负担得起的食物的感觉)”可知，根据伊森的说法，大多数购物者都在寻找预算友好的乐趣。故选D。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Many economists predict 2024 will be the time shoppers tighten their belts. That doesn’t mean people will stop spending, say retail (零售) analysts. But it will change what they choose to buy. With a slowing job market, global consumers are likely to move away from more high-priced purchases and focus instead on smaller, less expensive treats.(许多经济学家预测，2024年将是购物者勒紧腰带的时候。零售业分析师说，这并不意味着人们会停止消费。但这将改变他们的购买选择。随着就业市场的放缓，全球消费者可能会不再购买价格较高的商品，而是将注意力集中在较小的、不太昂贵的商品上)”及下文可知，文章主要介绍随着就业市场的放缓，全球消费者可能会不再购买价格较高的商品，而是将注意力集中在较小的、不太昂贵的商品上以及出现这种现象的原因。由此可知，D选项“小奢侈品：消费背后的驱动力”最符合文章标题。故选D。 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。 Temptation (诱惑) is part of life. It is commonplace to find yourself in situations—for instance, choosing between a delicious dessert versus sticking to a diet, or playing video games instead of studying. ____36____. Successfully resisting (抵制) temptations is probably something you aim for. Unsurprisingly, research shows that people with greater self-control experience benefits such as success at school and work and greater satisfaction in their relationships. But there’s growing evidence that self-control can also come with various downsides. ____37____ Imagine someone who always wakes up early, never allows for any distractions from their work, and sticks to a strict diet. You might view them as ambitious, because of their determination and discipline. However, for those same reasons, you might also view this person as mechanical, uninteresting, uptight or even cold. In fact, that’s what we’ve found in our research. The hidden costs of high self-control also extend beyond the social area to affect a person’s emotional life. For instance, consider the experience of regret. Research has shown that, when people reflect on their more distant past, they tend to regret having too much self-control rather than not having enough. ____38____. Even the positive beliefs that people hold about those who have high self-control, such as that they will perform better on group projects, can have negative effects. ____39____. That will lead them to feel more burdened by the dependence that others have on them. This increased exhaustion and sense of burden can reduce levels of satisfaction within those relationships. Self-control is something nearly all of us try to be better at. But it’s also important to recognize that there can also be some costs to having limitless willpower. ____40____. By working to address the unfavorable outcomes related to high self-control, while continuing to pursue the favorable ones, we may each eventually find a healthy balance. A. Self-disciplined people are less likely to forgive others. B. People with higher self-control tend to enjoy better health in life. C. We can all benefit from understanding both sides of this research literature. D. Some of the costs of high self-control are social and reputational (有关声誉的). E. These ideas can create heightened expectations for the high self-control person. F. So enacting this self-control may actually lead you to feel less satisfaction down the road. G. During these times, you likely hope to make the ‘right’ decision that drives you towards your long-term goals. 【答案】36. G 37. D 38. F 39. E 40. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了自我控制会带来的一些负面影响。 【36题详解】 根据上文“It is commonplace to find yourself in situations—for instance, choosing between a delicious dessert versus sticking to a diet, or playing video games instead of studying. (我们经常会发现自己处于这样的境地——例如，在美味的甜点和坚持节食之间做出选择，或者在玩电子游戏而不是学习之间做出选择。)”和下文“Successfully resisting (抵制) temptations is probably something you aim for. (成功抵抗诱惑可能是你的目标。)”可知，空处承上启下，指出在这些情况下，你可能会做出正确的选择。G项中的“these times”和上文的“situations”对应，G项中的“goals”和下文中的“something you aim for”对应。G项：During these times, you likely hope to make the ‘right’ decision that drives you towards your long-term goals. (在这段时间里，你可能希望做出“正确”的决定，推动你朝着长期目标前进。)符合语境。故选G。 【37题详解】 根据下文“Imagine someone who always wakes up early, never allows for any distractions from their work, and sticks to a strict diet. You might view them as ambitious, because of their determination and discipline. However, for those same reasons, you might also view this person as mechanical, uninteresting, uptight or even cold. (想象一下，一个人总是早起，从不允许任何工作分心，并坚持严格的饮食。你可能会认为他们雄心勃勃，因为他们的决心和纪律。然而，出于同样的原因，你也可能认为这个人呆板、无趣、紧张甚至冷漠。)”可知，本段主要讲述了高度的自我控制往往是要付出社会的和名声的代价。D项中的“social and reputational”与下文中的“you might also view this person as mechanical, uninteresting, uptight or even cold”对应。D项：Some of the costs of high self-control are social and reputational (有关声誉的). (高度自我控制的一些代价是有关社会的和名誉的。)符合语境。故选D。 【38题详解】 根据上文“Research has shown that, when people reflect on their more distant past, they tend to regret having too much self-control rather than not having enough. (研究表明，当人们回想起遥远的过去时，他们往往会后悔自己控制得太多，而不是不够。)”可知，空处说明自我控制太多会造成的后果，和上文形成因果关系。F项：So enacting this self-control may actually lead you to feel less satisfaction down the road. (因此，实行这种自我控制实际上可能会导致你在未来的道路上感到更少的满足感。)符合语境。故选F。 【39题详解】 根据上文“Even the positive beliefs that people hold about those who have high self-control, such as that they will perform better on group projects, can have negative effects. (即使是人们对自制力强的人持有的积极信念，比如他们会在小组项目中表现得更好，也会产生负面影响。)”可知，空处承接上文，具体说明这些积极信念可能会导致的负面影响。E项中的“these ideas”指代上文中的“the positive beliefs”.E项：These ideas can create heightened expectations for the high self-control person. (这些想法会对高自控能力的人产生更高的期望。)符合语境。故选E。 【40题详解】 根据上文“Self-control is something nearly all of us try to be better at. But it’s also important to recognize that there can also be some costs to having limitless willpower. (自我控制几乎是我们所有人都想要提高的。但同样重要的是要认识到，拥有无限的意志力也会有一些代价。)”可知，上文提到了自我控制的两个方面影响，空处承接上文，说明我们可以通过了解这篇文献受益。C项：We can all benefit from understanding both sides of this research literature. (我们都能从了解研究文献的两个方面中受益。)符合语境。故选C。 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。 Tom and his friends had always been fascinated by the old deserted mine (矿井) on the outskirts of town.

I had had her only a couple of weeks, but we had become nearly inseparable. I’d gone through heart surgery a few months back. I figured taking care of a dog would keep me active. So I went to the local animal-rescue center. The little dog shaking slightly in a cage caught my eye right away. I could tell she longed to be picked up and hugged. I went to talk to the shelter worker. “She just came in,” the woman told me. “Her name is Molly.” The worker opened Molly’s cage and let me pick her up. I stroked her silky fur and she stopped shaking. I filled out the paperwork and took Molly home. That fall morning last year I decided to take Molly with me for shopping. I opened the door. “Come on, Molly. Let’s go.” She jumped into the car and settled down on the passenger seat. I got behind the wheel and started the car. We live in a remote area up in the hills outside San Rafael, California. You have to drive up the mountain in low gear (低速挡) to get to our driveway, which is barely wide enough for one car and ends at a steep valley. I twisted around and backed up slowly. Just then, a flash of sunlight blinded me. I put my hand up to shield my eyes. “Oh, no! The edge!” I shouted. The car slipped in the soft soil, and rolled. I fell inside the car as it turned over down the valley. The car rolled faster. Four, five, six rolls until I heard a horrible crunch. We landed upside down. I looked over to find Molly. She was still in the passenger seat and, thankfully, she was okay. “Sorry, girl,” I gasped. Something was wrong with my left leg. I grabbed my cell phone but just as I had feared, I couldn’t get a signal. Now what? There was a hole in the driver’s side rear window. It was small, but just maybe ... I gently put Molly’s body through the hole. “Go, Molly, find help,” I urged, my voice weak. She looked back at me for a moment, as if to assure me she understood, then disappeared into the thick bushes. I was left alone in the overturned car, the pain in my leg intensifying. The valley was quiet, and I could only hear the faint sound of water trickling nearby. Time seemed to stand still as I waited, praying for Molly to succeed. After what seemed for ages, I heard a voice. 注意： （1）续写词数应为80字左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The voice was from Robin, my neighbor ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】版本一 The voice was from Robin, my neighbor. “I heard Molly’s desperate barks and knew something was wrong,” he explained breathlessly, his hands trembling as he helped me out of the wrecked car. Molly pressed herself against my side, her tail wagging weakly, as if reassuring me that everything was all right. In the ambulance, the medical workers marveled at Molly’s intelligence. “She’s truly a hero,” one of them said, patting Molly’s head. After I recovered, Molly and I continued our happy life. From then on, I became more cautious when driving, and I cherished every moment with my brave and loyal friend even more. 版本二 The voice was from Robin, my neighbor. “Molly wouldn’t leave my doorstep until I followed,” he said, his eyes wide with disbelief. As he carefully lifted me onto a makeshift stretcher, Molly stayed close, whining softly. At the hospital, doctors worked quickly on my broken leg. Meanwhile, Robin recalled how Molly had scratched at his door and led him straight to the accident site. Grateful tears filled my eyes. From that day forward, Molly became not just a pet, but a life -saving companion I’d always cherish. 版本三 The voice was from Robin, my neighbor. “Molly led me here!” he shouted, his voice echoing through the valley. Soon, his worried face appeared at the broken window. With his help, I was carefully pulled out of the car. Molly jumped around us, barking joyfully. On the way to the hospital, Robin told me Molly had rushed to his house and barked continuously until he followed her. Thanks to my brave dog, I got timely treatment. From then on, our bond grew even stronger. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，文章讲述作者心脏手术后收养了小狗莫莉，二者形影不离。秋日早晨带莫莉购物时，倒车因阳光晃眼致车坠山谷，作者腿受伤且无信号，便让莫莉出去求救，自己在翻转的车里忍痛等待。 【详解】1.段落续写：由本段首句“那声音来自我的邻居罗宾。”可知，该段可描写邻居罗宾听到莫莉的叫声前来救援，莫莉在旁安慰作者。医护人员称赞莫莉是英雄。作者康复后更谨慎开车，也更珍惜与莫莉的时光。 2.续写线索：邻居罗宾前来救援——莫莉安慰作者——称赞莫莉——作者康复——更珍惜与莫莉的时光 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①颤抖：tremble/shake ②帮助：help/assist/aid ③珍惜：cherish/treasure 情绪类 ①快乐的：happy/joyful /cheerful ②谨慎的：cautious/careful/prudent 【点睛】[高分句型1] Molly pressed herself against my side, her tail wagging weakly, as if reassuring me that everything was all right.（运用了独立主格结构以及状语从句中的省略结构和that引导的宾语从句） [高分句型2] From then on, I became more cautious when driving, and I cherished every moment with my brave and loyal friend even more.（运用了状语从句的省略） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 树德中学高2024级高一下期期末测试英语试题 考试时间：120分钟 总分：150分 第一部分：听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话，每段对话后有一个小题。从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，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. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 How does the woman feel about the man’s words?

B It was the final race of the season, the 800 meters, and my legs felt like lead. The hot sun beat down on the track, and the roar of the crowd seemed distant. I had trained hard all summer, but now, facing my toughest competitor, Sarah Chen, doubt crept in. She always seemed to have an extra burst of speed at the end. The starting gun fired. We surged forward, a pack of brightly colored jerseys. The first lap felt surprisingly smooth, but as we rounded the curve into the second lap, the familiar burn started in my lungs. Sarah pulled slightly ahead. “Just keep her in sight,” I told myself, remembering Coach’s words: “Run your own race.” With 200 meters to go, the gap between Sarah and me widened. My legs screamed to slow down, and negative thoughts flooded my mind: “You can’t catch her. Second place is okay.” I glanced at the stands and saw my teammates waving wildly, their faces full of encouragement. Then, Coach’s voice cut through the noise: “Kick NOW, Mia! Everything you’ve got!” Something clicked. It wasn’t just about winning against Sarah anymore; it was about pushing myself to my absolute limit, about honoring all those hours of practice. I dug deep, deeper than I ever had before. My arms pumped harder, my stride lengthened, and I focused solely on the finish line ribbon. The pain was intense, but it was pushed aside by sheer determination. The last few meters were a blur. I threw myself forward. As I crossed the line, breathless and wobbly, I had no idea who had won. Then I heard the announcement: “First place ... Mia Johnson!” A wave of disbelief and pure joy washed over me. Sarah finished a split-second later, offering a tired but genuine smile and a handshake. “Great kick,” she said, breathing heavily. That moment of mutual respect meant almost as much as the medal. That race taught me more than just how to run faster. It taught me that your biggest competitor is often yourself — the voice that says you can’t. And that finding the strength to silence that voice, even for just the final stretch, can lead to achievements you never thought possible. 24. How did Mia feel at the beginning of the race? A. Confident and energetic. B. Focused solely on beating Sarah. C. Excited by the crowd’s noise. D. Doubtful and physically heavy. 25. When the coach shouts “Kick NOW, Mia”, the word “kick” most probably means ________. A. to ignore pain and continue moving B. to strike the ground with one’s foot C. to suddenly increase running speed D. to focus on proper running form 26. What is the symbolic meaning of Sarah offering Mia a handshake after the race? A. It reflects the universal sportsmanship spirit. B. It helps to cover Sarah’s disappointment in losing the race. C. It highlights Mia’s physical superiority. D. It indicates Sarah’s pity for Mia’s effort. 27. What does Mia realize is the most important thing she learned from the race? A. Winning against a strong competitor is the ultimate goal. B. Following Coach’s instructions is crucial for success. C. Her biggest challenge is overcoming her own self-doubt. D. Physical pain is temporary, but medals last forever. C Birders get nervous when they see landscapes covered in wind turbines (涡轮机). When the wind gets going, their blades (叶片) can turn around at well over 200km per hour. It is easy to imagine careless birds getting cut into pieces and wind turbines do indeed kill at least some birds. But a new analysis of American data suggests the numbers are negligible, and have little impact on bird populations. Erik Katovich, an economist at the University of Geneva, made use of the Christmas BirdCount, a citizen-science project run by the National Audubon Society. Volunteers count birds they spot over Christmas, and the society gathers the numbers. He assumed, reasonably, that if wind turbines harmed bird populations, the numbers seen in the Christmas Bird Count would drop in places where new turbines had been built. Combining bird population and species maps with the locations and construction dates of all wind turbines, he found building turbines had no noticeable effect on bird populations. Instead of limiting his analysis to wind power alone, he also examined oil-and-gas extraction (开采), which has boomed in America over the past couple of decades. Comparing bird populations to the locations of new gas wells revealed an average 15% drop in bird numbers when new wells were drilled, probably due to a combination of noise, air pollution and the disturbance of rivers and ponds that many birds rely upon. When drilling happened in migration centers, feeding grounds or breeding locations, bird numbers instead dropped by 25%. Wind power, in other words, not only produces far less planet-heating carbon dioxide and methane than do fossil fuels. It appears to be significantly less damaging to wildlife, too. Yet that is not the impression you would get from reading the news. Dr Katovich found 173 stories in major American news media reporting the supposed negative effects that wind turbines had on birds in 2020, compared with only 46 stories discussing the effects of oil-and-gas wells. 28. What does the underlined word“negligible”in paragraph 1 mean? A. Insignificant. B. Inaccurate. C. Inconsistent. D. Indefinite. 29. What is Dr Katovich's conclusion based on? A. Previous studies. B. Relevant data. C. Reasonable prediction. D. Experiment results. 30. What message does paragraph 3 mainly try to convey? A. Oil-and-gas extraction has expanded in America. B. Birds are heavily dependent on rivers and ponds. C. Many factors lead to the decline of bird populations. D. Well drilling poses a serious threat to birds' survival. 31. Which of the following may Dr Katovich agree with? A. Wind turbines could share the sky with wildlife. B. More evidence is needed to confirm the finding. C. Wind power will be substituted for fossil fuels. D. Wind turbines deserve wider media coverage. D Many economists predict 2024 will be the time shoppers tighten their belts. That doesn’t mean people will stop spending, say retail (零售) analysts. But it will change what they choose to buy. With a slowing job market, global consumers are likely to move away from more high-priced purchases and focus instead on smaller, less expensive treats. The economic uncertainty means that consumers are becoming more discriminating about their purchases, says Ethan Chermofsky, senior vice president of marketing at intelligence platform Placer. ai. “There are the things we decide are necessary, and then there’s another category of things that aren’t necessary but that we consider affordable luxuries, he says. This desire for these “affordable luxuries” is common in difficult economic times. Some economists refer to the phenomenon as the “lipstick index”: a small economic increase led by budget-minded consumers seeking out relatively affordable splurges (挥霍), like small cosmetics (化妆品). Analysts at Deloitte say consumers will spend on little luxuries like specialty coffees and snacks as well. Additionally, stressed-out shoppers are prioritizing small splurge purchases for wellness and personal care. As retailers see shoppers turning to little luxuries, they’re offering more and more of them. Target, for example, has staked a flag in what they refer to as “affordable joy”, which includes a selection of self-care and cosmetic products, along with wellness-centric beauty products. Beyond diversifying their offerings, stores are also bringing in luxury-feeling products at lower price points to appeal to more consumers. Ethan says not every shopper will shift their spending to little luxuries-but even those who are still longing for the “must-haves” of social media will also look to get a deal. They want the feeling of purchasing lower-priced affordable treats. To get these goods, shoppers are likely to tap into the re-sale market for designer items at a more reasonable price. They want things that make them feel good about themselves-they just want to do it without breaking the bank. 32. What can affordable luxuries be? A. Inexpensive daily necessities. B. High-end products. C. Reasonably-priced designer items. D. High-priced purchases. 33. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The strategies retailers use. B. The joy businesses offer. C. The competition stores face. D. The products consumers buy. 34. What do most shoppers seek according to Ethan? A. Social-media deals. B. World-famous brands. C. Second-hand bargains. D. Budget-friendly pleasures. 35. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Lipstick Index: Where Does It Lead Us? B. Must-have Treats: A Future Spending Trend C. Affordable Joy: Will We Fall Into The Trap? D. Little Luxuries: A Driving Force Behind Consumption 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。 Temptation (诱惑) is part of life. It is commonplace to find yourself in situations—for instance, choosing between a delicious dessert versus sticking to a diet, or playing video games instead of studying. ____36____. Successfully resisting (抵制) temptations is probably something you aim for. Unsurprisingly, research shows that people with greater self-control experience benefits such as success at school and work and greater satisfaction in their relationships. But there’s growing evidence that self-control can also come with various downsides. ____37____ Imagine someone who always wakes up early, never allows for any distractions from their work, and sticks to a strict diet. You might view them as ambitious, because of their determination and discipline. However, for those same reasons, you might also view this person as mechanical, uninteresting, uptight or even cold. In fact, that’s what we’ve found in our research. The hidden costs of high self-control also extend beyond the social area to affect a person’s emotional life. For instance, consider the experience of regret. Research has shown that, when people reflect on their more distant past, they tend to regret having too much self-control rather than not having enough. ____38____. Even the positive beliefs that people hold about those who have high self-control, such as that they will perform better on group projects, can have negative effects. ____39____. That will lead them to feel more burdened by the dependence that others have on them. This increased exhaustion and sense of burden can reduce levels of satisfaction within those relationships. Self-control is something nearly all of us try to be better at. But it’s also important to recognize that there can also be some costs to having limitless willpower. ____40____. By working to address the unfavorable outcomes related to high self-control, while continuing to pursue the favorable ones, we may each eventually find a healthy balance. A. Self-disciplined people are less likely to forgive others. B. People with higher self-control tend to enjoy better health in life. C. We can all benefit from understanding both sides of this research literature. D. Some of the costs of high self-control are social and reputational (有关声誉的). E. These ideas can create heightened expectations for the high self-control person. F. So enacting this self-control may actually lead you to feel less satisfaction down the road. G. During these times, you likely hope to make the ‘right’ decision that drives you towards your long-term goals. 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。 Tom and his friends had always been fascinated by the old deserted mine (矿井) on the outskirts of town.

I had had her only a couple of weeks, but we had become nearly inseparable. I’d gone through heart surgery a few months back. I figured taking care of a dog would keep me active. So I went to the local animal-rescue center. The little dog shaking slightly in a cage caught my eye right away. I could tell she longed to be picked up and hugged. I went to talk to the shelter worker. “She just came in,” the woman told me. “Her name is Molly.” The worker opened Molly’s cage and let me pick her up. I stroked her silky fur and she stopped shaking. I filled out the paperwork and took Molly home. That fall morning last year I decided to take Molly with me for shopping. I opened the door. “Come on, Molly. Let’s go.” She jumped into the car and settled down on the passenger seat. I got behind the wheel and started the car. We live in a remote area up in the hills outside San Rafael, California. You have to drive up the mountain in low gear (低速挡) to get to our driveway, which is barely wide enough for one car and ends at a steep valley. I twisted around and backed up slowly. Just then, a flash of sunlight blinded me. I put my hand up to shield my eyes. “Oh, no! The edge!” I shouted. The car slipped in the soft soil, and rolled. I fell inside the car as it turned over down the valley. The car rolled faster. Four, five, six rolls until I heard a horrible crunch. We landed upside down. I looked over to find Molly. She was still in the passenger seat and, thankfully, she was okay. “Sorry, girl,” I gasped. Something was wrong with my left leg. I grabbed my cell phone but just as I had feared, I couldn’t get a signal. Now what? There was a hole in the driver’s side rear window. It was small, but just maybe ... I gently put Molly’s body through the hole. “Go, Molly, find help,” I urged, my voice weak. She looked back at me for a moment, as if to assure me she understood, then disappeared into the thick bushes. I was left alone in the overturned car, the pain in my leg intensifying. The valley was quiet, and I could only hear the faint sound of water trickling nearby. Time seemed to stand still as I waited, praying for Molly to succeed. After what seemed for ages, I heard a voice. 注意： （1）续写词数应为80字左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The voice was from Robin, my neighbor ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
