It has the necessary infrastructure to attract foreign tourists such as signs in proper English and restaurants everywhere.(如果你对历史感兴趣，这里是你必去的地方。它有必要的基础设施来吸引外国游客，比如用合适的英语写的标志，到处都是餐馆)”可知，B选项“西安是一座文化遗产和现代化设施并存的城市”正确。故选B。 【上海市延安中学2024-2025学年高三上学期开学考试英语试题】 Alibaba Earnings Fall, Sales Rise Alibaba Group’s profit sank in the latest quarter, even as revenue growth picked up due to higher sales in its key e-commerce, cloud and logistics businesses. The Chinese company said Tuesday that net income in its fiscal fourth quarter ended March rose 86% from a year earlier to 3.27 billion yuan, equivalent to $452.1 million, well short of the 15.27 billion yuan expected by analysts in a FactSet poll. Alibaba said the bottom line was hurt by a net loss in investments, during the quarter due to mark-to-market changes (按市值计价变动). Adjusted net profit, which excludes items including share-based compensation expenses, investment gains and losses and some impairments, fell 11% to 24.42 billion yuan, missing analysts’ expectations of 25.47 billion yuan. Quarterly revenue rose 6.6% to 221.87 billion yuan, edging analysts’ estimates of 220.62 billion yuan and outpacing the previous quarter’s 5.1%. Sales at Alibaba’s core domestic e-commerce business, Taobao and Tmall Group, rose 3.7% from a year earlier to 93.22 billion yuan. Its cloud-computing unit, which has trimmed prices in recent months, posted a 3. 4% increase in sales to 25.595 billion yuan, while logistics sales rose 30% to 24.56 billion yuan. The company’s overseas e-commerce unit reported a 45% rise in revenue — after 44% growth in the previous quarter — to 27.45 billion yuan. Chief Executive Eddie Wu said in a conference call that the group expects Alibaba Cloud’s revenue, excluding internal customers, to return to double-digit growth in its fiscal second half, and Taobao’s and Tmall’s gross merchandise value to return to healthy growth in the new fiscal year. Alibaba said its board approved a $4 billion dividend for the 2024 fiscal year. It expects to finish upgrading its Hong Kong listing to primary from secondary by the end of August. Quarterly sales growth was in line with the 6% posted Tuesday by fellow Chinese tech giant Tencent. The social-media and gaming company, which said solid ad sales offset gaming weakness, reported a 62% rise in profit, thanks to rapid growth in its high-margin business. 29．Which of the following statements best reflects the impact of mark-to-market changes on Alibaba? A．It had a negligible effect on the company’s overall finance. B．It significantly improved the company’s net income. C．It mainly affected the company’s investment gains and losses. D．It had no influence on the adjusted net profit. 30．Compared with Alibaba Group’s quarterly sales growth, how was Tencent’s quarterly sales growth? A．Higher. B．Lower. C．Almost the same. D．Not mentioned. 31．According to the bar chart, what is the largest possible ratio (比率) between the most profitable quarter and the least profitable one in the net profit quarters? A．14:1 B．2:1 C．3:1 D．20:1 【答案】29．C 30．C 31．A 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲述了阿里巴巴集团最近一个季度的财务表现及其业务亮点和展望。 29．细节理解题。根据第二段“Alibaba said the bottom line was hurt by a net loss in investments, during the quarter due to mark-to-market changes (按市值计价变动).(阿里巴巴表示，由于按市值计价的变化，本季度投资出现净亏损，影响了利润。)”可知，最能反映按市值计价的变化对阿里巴巴的影响的陈述是主要影响公司的投资损益。故选C。 30．细节理解题。根据最后一段“Quarterly sales growth was in line with the 6% posted Tuesday by fellow Chinese tech giant Tencent.(与中国科技巨头腾讯周二公布的6%的季度销售额增幅一致。)”可知，与阿里巴巴集团的季度销售增长相比，腾讯的季度销售增长几乎一样。故选C。 31．细节理解题。根据图表所示，最赚钱的季度是2022年第三季度的大约480亿，赚钱最少的季度是2023年的第四季度的3.27亿，这两个数字的比率是480÷3.27=14.67:1，A选项最接近这个比率，故选A。 题型02 推理判断题 【上海市南洋模范中学2024-2025学年高三上学期期中考试英语试题】 ……… It was about this time that Daddy built him a go-cart and I had to pull him around. The moment I picked up my cap, he started crying to go with me and Mama would call from wherever she was, “Take Doodle with you”. He was a burden in many ways. The doctor had said that he mustn’t get too excited, too hot, too cold, or too tired and that he must always be treated gently—a long list of don’ts went with him. His skin was very sensitive, and he had to wear a big straw hat whenever he went out. When the going got rough and he had to climb to the sides of the go-cart, the hat slipped all the way down over his ears. He was a sight. Suddenly, I could see I was licked. Doodle was my brother and he was going to cling to me forever, no matter what I did. I dragged him across the burning cotton field to share with him the only beauty I knew, Old Woman Swamp. His eyes were round with wonder as he gazed, and his little hands began to stroke the rubber grass. Then he began to cry. “For heaven’s sake, what’s the matter?” I asked, annoyed. “It’s so pretty,” he said. “So pretty, pretty, pretty.” 15．By “I could see I was licked (paragraph 3)”, the narrator implies that ________?

D．He was surprised at Doodle’s ability to crawl. 【答案】 15．D 16．B 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者对身体残疾的弟弟Doodle的人生经历回忆，尽管弟弟的生活充满挑战，但作者对他不离不弃，展现了深深的爱和关心，让弟弟的生活变得更加美好。 15．推理判断题。根据第三段中“Suddenly, I could see I was licked. Doodle was my brother and he was going to cling to me forever, no matter what I did.( 突然，我发现我被打败了。Doodle是我的兄弟，不管我做什么，他都会永远依附着我。)”可推知，通过“我发现我被打败了”这句话，作者意识到Doodle将永远是他生活的一部分。故选D项。 16．推理判断题。根据文章大意以及第三段中“Suddenly, I could see I was licked. Doodle was my brother and he was going to cling to me forever, no matter what I did. I dragged him across the burning cotton field to share with him the only beauty I knew, Old Woman Swamp. His eyes were round with wonder as he gazed, and his little hands began to stroke the rubber grass. Then he began to cry.( 突然，我发现我被打败了。Doodle是我的兄弟，不管我做什么，他都会永远依附着我。我拖着他穿过燃烧的棉花地，与他分享我所知道的唯一的美丽——Old Woman沼泽。他盯着看，眼睛瞪得圆圆的，充满了惊奇，他的小手开始抚摸橡胶草。然后他开始哭了起来。)”可知，作者感到负担是因为意识到Doodle将永远是他生活的一部分，需要持续的照料，尽管弟弟的生活充满了挑战，但作者对他的爱和关心从未减少。作者会带着他一起去看美丽的景色。由此可推知，作者对对Doodle既厌烦又喜爱。故选B项。 【上海交通大学附属中学2023-2024学年高三上学期期中英语试题】 Chinese Teapot Escaping from British Museum Goes Viral Chinese state media has praised a viral video series telling the story of a jade teapot coming to life and fleeing the British Museum to make its way back home. The museum scandal made headlines around the world and reawakened earlier demands by the Chinese media to restore the country’s relics. The new three-part show has triggered a wave of nationalism among viewers, with many praising the creative plot that reduced them to tears by showing how the teapot experienced the happiness of returning to China to see pandas and watch a flag-raising ceremony on Tiananmen Square. 3．Which of the following can we infer from the passage?

(博物馆的丑闻成为世界各地的头条新闻，并重新唤起了中国媒体早些时候要求归还中国文物的呼声)”可知，这一次大英博物馆文物丢失和损坏的丑闻重新唤起中国媒体要求归还中国文物的呼声。由此推知，在此之前中国已经要求大英博物馆。故选A。 4．推理判断题。通读全文，结合文章标题“Chinese Teapot Escaping from British Museum Goes Viral (“从大英博物馆逃跑的中国茶壶”在社交媒体上走红)”和文中内容可知，本文主要介绍了关于一只逃跑的玉壶的短视频在网络迅速走红，并引起中国官方媒体《环球时报》和中央电视台的报道和评价。所以“介绍一个关于‘逃跑的玉壶’的视频系列”是文章的写作目的。故选B。 题型03 词义推断题 【上海市建平中学2024-2025学年高三上学期9月月考英语试卷】 This year, my two oldest sons asked me to sign them up for piano lessons. For certain reasons, I decided it would also be a good time for me to take up the piano again, after 30 years. As a child, I learned not just the piano, but the cello. I played in two orchestras and sang in the school choir. No one forced me to do any of it, but it wasn’t quite a free choice either.

My mom and I were well matched partners in the dance of unspoken expectation and approval-seeking. (如果你是过度投入的母亲的女儿，那么没有人需要使用武力。在无言的期待和寻求认同的舞蹈中，我和妈妈是非常般配的一对。)”可知，作者主动提出学习乐器以获得母亲的认可。故选D。 【2024届上海市崇明区高三上学期一模英语试卷】 Most teachers assign novels for students to read not write.

As a travel writer, I’m constantly wrestling with questions such as: Should we be travelling to endangered landscapes at all? Can it even be done sustainably? What is at stake if we don’t travel? As the saying goes: “Tourism is like a fire. You can either cook your food with it, or burn your house down.” If I’m being honest, at least part of my motivation to go to these places is to see them now as they are now — before they’re irreversibly changed or gone. I’m not alone in this. Once a postdoc and research scientist at the University of Michigan, Kurt Hillig takes photos of everything from flowers to glaciers along the way.

C 【导语】本文是一篇应用文，主要介绍了格拉斯哥地铁的线路、时刻表、票价等信息。 【40题详解】 细节理解题。根据表格中“Going underground?”下面的“Running every four minutes at peak times, it takes just 24 minutes to complete a circuit of the 15 stations and costs from as little as £1.80 for an adult single to travel anywhere else on the system.(在高峰时段每四分钟开一次，只需24分钟即可完成15个车站的循环，成年单身人士在系统上去任何其他地方出行的费用低至1.80英镑。)”可知，一个成年单身者在地铁系统内去任何地方的出行费用都低至1.80英镑。由此可知，一个成年单身乘坐完整线路只需1.80英镑。故选D。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据时刻表“First Trains”下面的“Outer Circle”一列的“From St Enoch”，对应的“Mon. to Sat.”下面一列的“06:34”、“Sun.”下面一列的“10:03”，以及“Inner Circle”一列的“From St Enoch”，对应的“Mon. to Sat.”下面一列的“06:32”、“Sun.”下面一列的“10:00”可知，在第一班车次中，外环线路周一至周六从St Enoch出发的时间是6:34，周日是10:03，而内环线路周一至周六从St Enoch出发的时间是6:32，周日是10:00。由此可知，想要在工作日早晨最快到Kelvinbridge，可以搭乘发自St Enoch的最早班车是6:32的车次。故选B。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Subway tickets”下面的内容“All day*”行和“Adult”“Child**”列对应的“£4.30”“£2.15”，以及右侧说明“* unlimited travel for one day(*一天无限制出行)”“** Applies to children under 16 years old.(**适用于16岁以下的儿童。)”“Children under five travel for free if accompanied by a fare paying adult.(5岁以下儿童可免费旅行由一名付费成人陪同。)”可知，一天无限制出行时，单个成人票价为4.30英镑，单个儿童票价为2.15英镑，儿童票价适用于16岁以下儿童，但5岁以下儿童由成人陪同时可免票，由此可知，一对夫妇带一个15岁的孩子和一个新生儿，选择一天无限制出行时，应付款：4.30×2+2.15=10.75英镑。故选C。 Passage 1 【2025届上海市奉贤区高三下学期二模英语试卷】 George Barris is not just an ordinary car designer; he is a visionary who transforms vehicles into custom-crafted masterpieces tailored to his clients’ wildest imaginations. Since the early 1940s, his pioneering creations have dominated both big screens and the private collections of Hollywood’s celebrities. At the age of 7, George Barris and his brother received a 1925 Buick from their parents. They made changes to it, repainted it and then sold it. This experience sparked Barris’ lifelong passion for transforming automobiles. Later, George started turning regular cars into fast racing cars. Hollywood soon recognized his talent, contracting him in 1958 to design his first custom vehicle for the film High School Confidential. Many Hollywood stars flocked to Barris, demanding one-of-a-kind vehicles. The list of clients includes John Wayne, Elvis Presley, the Beatles, Frank Sinatra and many others. Customizing cars became popular after World War II, because people sought something personal to express their individuality. Car clubs emerged, and the appetite for new vehicles grew, especially among the wealthy. The big automobile companies did not venture into this market, leaving the field open to independent operators such as George Barris and others. However, nobody could match Barris’s skill in this field. In the 1960s, Barris created the black and red Batmobile, the most distinctive car of the TV series based on the comic book. For the hit television show The Munsters, he took three Model T Fords and skillfully cut and combined them to craft the family’s unique mode of transportation, the Koach. This vehicle featured an interior that was specially designed to look like a coffin (棺材), perfectly capturing the gothic aesthetic (美学) of the show. The Koach quickly became closely associated with The Munsters, just as the Batmobile was with its own series. George Barris has been designing cars for over six decades. He is a legend in the car design business, often referred to as the “Van Gogh” of the automobile industry. At 80, his son and daughter have taken over the day-to-day operations of the business, but he still actively designs cars in his studio. 1．What first led George Barris and his brother to start working on cars? A．The ambition to design cars for Hollywood. B．The fascination with celebrity car collections. C．The passion for turning regular cars into race cars. D．The inspiration from getting a car as a childhood gift. 2．What was the primary reason for the rise of car customization after World War II? A．The rise of car clubs demanding exclusive designs B．The innovations in automotive production technology C．People’s growing appetite for distinctive self-expression D．Post-war economic recovery boosting consumer spending 3．The underlined phrase “Van Gogh” is used to indicate that George Barris was________ A．a pioneer of abstract designs B．a master of artistic innovations C．a creator of pop culture symbols D．a promoter of mainstream models 4．What is the most appropriate title for the passage? A．Custom Car Clubs: Post-War Boom in Popularity B．Hollywood’s Great Car Designer: George Barris C．George Barris: A Legend in Custom Car Innovation D．Classic Car Designs: Batmobile &Koach Highlights 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．B 4．C 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了汽车改造大师乔治·巴里斯的个人经历以及他在汽车改造行业所取得的成就。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段“At the age of 7, George Barris and his brother received a 1925 Buick from their parents. They made changes to it, repainted it and then sold it. This experience sparked Barris’ lifelong passion for transforming automobiles.(7岁时，乔治·巴里斯和他的兄弟从父母那里得到了一辆1925年产的别克车。他们对它做了改动，重新粉刷，然后卖掉了。这次经历激发了巴里斯对改造汽车的毕生热情)”可知，作为童年礼物得到一辆汽车的灵感让乔治·巴里斯和他的兄弟开始研究汽车。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段“Customizing cars became popular after World War II, because people sought something personal to express their individuality. Car clubs emerged, and the appetite for new vehicles grew, especially among the wealthy.(第二次世界大战后，定制汽车开始流行起来，因为人们寻求一些个性化的东西来表达他们的个性。汽车俱乐部出现了，对新车的需求也在增长，尤其是在富人中)”可知，第二次世界大战后汽车定制兴起的主要原因是人们对与众不同的自我表达的胃口越来越大。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“In the 1960s, Barris created the black and red Batmobile, the most distinctive car of the TV series based on the comic book. For the hit television show The Munsters, he took three Model T Fords and skillfully cut and combined them to craft the family’s unique mode of transportation, the Koach. This vehicle featured an interior that was specially designed to look like a coffin (棺材), perfectly capturing the gothic aesthetic (美学) of the show.(在20世纪60年代，巴里斯创造了黑色和红色的蝙蝠车，这是根据漫画改编的电视剧中最具特色的汽车。在热门电视节目《明斯特一家》中，他拿了三辆T型福特，巧妙地将它们切割和组合，打造出这家人独特的交通工具——科赫。这辆车的内饰是特别设计的，看起来像一个棺材，完美地捕捉了这个节目的哥特式美学)”以及最后一段“He is a legend in the car design business, often referred to as the “Van Gogh” of the automobile industry.(他是汽车设计界的传奇人物，常被称为汽车行业的“梵高”)”可知，乔治·巴里斯一生中改造了许多汽车，有过很多汽车的创新，所以画线的短语“梵高”是用来表示乔治·巴里斯是一位艺术创新大师。故选B。 4．主旨大意题。根据第一段“George Barris is not just an ordinary car designer; he is a visionary who transforms vehicles into custom-crafted masterpieces tailored to his clients’ wildest imaginations.(乔治·巴里斯不仅仅是一位普通的汽车设计师；他是一个有远见的人，他把汽车改造成定制的杰作，以满足客户最疯狂的想象)”结合文章主要介绍了汽车改造大师乔治·巴里斯的个人经历以及他在汽车改造行业所取得的成就。可知，C选项“乔治·巴里斯：定制汽车创新的传奇”最符合文章标题。故选C。 Passage 2 【上海市七宝中学2024-2025学年高三下学期5月英语试卷】 On Nov. 28, the 12-year-old German shepherd named Bear was out for his first long walk following surgery as a birthday treat when he ran into a missing person in need of help in “dense undergrowth” near his walking path, according to a social media post from the nonprofit organization Thin Blue Paw Foundation. The nonprofit, whose mission is to support serving and retired police dogs nationwide, said the lost man was “confused, wet, and cold, and unable to get up” when the retired police dog came across him. “The man was a vulnerable missing person officers had been searching for without success,” the post read. The man was lying in a “dark and very cold” area before being led to safety by Bear. “RPD Bear, you’re a true hero, showing us that even in retirement, you can still save lives,” the organization wrote. “Happy Birthday, Bear!” The Guardian reported that Bear was on the casual walk that led to the missing man with his owner, Julia Pope, and “went into work mode” during the incident. The dog was in recovery at the time and on his first long walk since receiving surgery to remove two harmless tumors two weeks prior. Pope told the outlet that Bear “dragged” her to where the missing individual was. “I’m not sure he would have survived the night as it was extremely cold and almost dark at that point with no one else nearby,” Pope said of the lost man she and Bear found. The man was brought to local police and reunited with his loved ones. While he is retired from active duty with the Sussex police, Bear has been working as a wellbeing and support dog for police staff, reported The Guardian. He had another surgery in the summer of 2023. The Thin Blue Paw Foundation supported the dog during the surgery. Thin Blue Paw Trustee Kieran Stanbridge told The Guardian, “RPD Bear is a true hero — his training and instinct kicked in, and he managed to lead his owner, who is a former police officer, to the man who needed urgent help.” Stanbridge continued, “Thanks to Bear, the man received the help he needed from local officers, even in his retirement, he’s still saving lives.” 5．According to the passage, Bear ________. A．is a retired police dog which has just undergone an operation B．is a serving police dog whose duty is to rescue the homeless C．is supported by a non-profit organization to take on some paid jobs D．is adopted by a former police officer to accompany and safeguard her 6．The word “vulnerable” in paragraph 2 most probably has the same meaning as “________”. A．content. B．weak. C．courageous. D．reliable. 7．Which of the following can be done by The Thin Blue Paw Foundation according to the passage? A．It helps the police dogs throughout the country. B．It pays for the rescue work done by police dogs. C．It provides financial support for dog adopters. D．It improves retired police officers’ wellbeing. 8．What’s the main idea of the passage? A．A non-profit organization sponsors police dogs. B．Bear still enjoys acts of heroism in his senior years. C．A missing man was lucky enough to be rescued. D．Retired police dogs’ surgery impacts their wellbeing. 【答案】5．A 6．B 7．A 8．B 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲述了退役警犬Bear在术后首次长时间散步时发现并救助失踪人员的事迹，同时介绍了支持警犬的非营利组织Thin Blue Paw Foundation。 5．细节理解题。根据第一段“On Nov. 28, the 12-year-old German shepherd named Bear was out for his first long walk following surgery as a birthday treat(11月28日，这只12岁名叫Bear的德国牧羊犬在术后首次长时间散步，作为生日犒赏)” 以及倒数第二段 “While he is retired from active duty with the Sussex police(它已从苏塞克斯警方退役)”可知，Bear 是一只刚经历手术且已退役的警犬。故选A。 6．词义猜测题。根据第二段“The nonprofit, whose mission is to support serving and retired police dogs nationwide, said the lost man was “confused, wet, and cold, and unable to get up” when the retired police dog came across him. (这家非营利组织的使命是为全国现役及退役警犬提供支持。该组织称，当这只退役警犬发现那名失踪男子时，他‘神志不清、浑身湿透、冻得发抖，而且无法起身’)”可知，这些描述体现出该失踪男子的状况不佳，很虚弱，划线词vulnerable意为“虚弱的”，与weak意思一致。故选B。 7．细节理解题。根据第二段 “The nonprofit, whose mission is to support serving and retired police dogs nationwide(非营利组织 Thin Blue Paw Foundation的使命是支持全国范围内现役和退役的警犬)” 可知，The Thin Blue Paw Foundation帮助全国的警犬。故选A。 8．主旨大意题。根据第一段“On Nov. 28, the 12-year-old German shepherd named Bear was out for his first long walk following surgery as a birthday treat when he ran into a missing person in need of help in “dense undergrowth” near his walking path, according to a social media post from the nonprofit organization Thin Blue Paw Foundation.( 据非营利组织 Thin Blue Paw Foundation在社交媒体上发布的消息，11月28日，这只12岁的德国牧羊犬贝尔（Bear）在接受手术后首次进行长时间散步，当作给自己的生日犒赏。就在这时，它在散步路径附近的 “茂密灌木丛” 中遇到了一名需要帮助的失踪人员)”结合全文可知，文章主要介绍了12岁退役警犬Bear在术后散步时意外救下一名失踪者的故事，选项B“Bear在暮年仍有英雄之举”全面概括主题。故选B。 Passage3 【2025届上海市嘉定区交大附中附属中学高三下学期5月高考模拟英语试题】 I used to believe a packed calendar means a full life. My days were booked up, well ahead of time, for dinners out, exercise classes, trips to the cinema — activities that I knew to be beneficial or rewarding. I had been determined to make work less central to my life: I couldn’t burn out when I had so much else going on, I reasoned. But when the time came to follow through on my plans, I tended to find that I had been overly optimistic — not only about how much it was possible, but also about my enthusiasm to do so. As my mood and energy levels continued to worsen, social occasions increasingly felt like another obligation — something I had to do, rather than something I wanted to do. Arriving to have dinner with friends became similar to a work meeting; they registered the same in my calendar. It eventually dawned on me that the act of scheduling far in advance was robbing me of the opportunity to enjoy myself. I had made these plans from a theoretical standpoint, without allowing for the very real possibility that I would be tired, stressed or just not in the mood. Moving to Norwich helped me break this habit. In Norwich, nearly everyone I know lives within a half-hour walk of me, with plenty of wonderful cafes, pubs and restaurants in between. Within months of moving, I rediscovered the joy of free-flowing. My days were necessarily emptier, because I had fewer local friends. In the peace and quiet, I came to better understand how I truly liked to spend my time. I was surprised by how much I benefited from spending more time alone. I found myself having bright ideas and interesting thoughts that I suspect would have failed me had I carried on at breakneck pace. My newly cleared schedule also meant that, if I finished work for the day and I felt like seeing a film, I could. I started to understand what all those self-help books meant about being your “true self”. 9．Why did the author plan her activities well ahead of time? A．To ensure she can balance life and work. B．To reflect her time management skills. C．To make sure her schedule is always full. D．To avoid missing out on social events. 10．Why did the author compare dinner with friends to a work meeting? A．She found social events a break from work responsibilities. B．She believed the work meetings could also be enjoyable. C．She saw the work meetings as a special form of social events. D．She felt socializing as stressful as dealing with work tasks. 11．How did the move to Norwich affect the author? A．She felt lonely with fewer friends and social events. B．She appreciated a more flexible approach to life. C．She lifted her productivity and finished work sooner. D．She became busier with more ideas and thoughts. 12．What does the author mean by being your “true self” (last paragraph)? A．Realizing the joy of slowing down the pace of life. B．Discovering that a lonely life can also be a full life. C．Finding happiness in following a packed schedule. D．Making a detailed plan for personal development. 【答案】9．C 10．D 11．B 12．A 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章讲述了作者原本提前安排满满当当的日程，后来意识到这剥夺了自己享受生活的机会，搬到诺维奇后，她重新发现了自由生活的乐趣。 9．细节理解题。根据第一段“I used to believe a packed calendar means a full life. My days were booked up, well ahead of time, for dinners out, exercise classes, trips to the cinema — activities that I knew to be beneficial or rewarding.(我曾经认为日程安排得满满当当就意味着生活充实。我的日子提前很久就被预订出去了，用于外出就餐、健身课程、看电影——这些我知道有益或有回报的活动)”可知，作者提前安排活动是为了确保日程总是满满的，让生活更充实。故选C项。 10．细节理解题。根据第三段“As my mood and energy levels continued to worsen, social occasions increasingly felt like another obligation — something I had to do, rather than something I wanted to do. Arriving to have dinner with friends became similar to a work meeting; they registered the same in my calendar. (随着我的情绪和精力水平持续恶化，社交场合越来越像是另一种义务——是我不得不做的事情，而不是我想做的事情。和朋友一起吃晚餐变得和工作会议类似；它们在我的日程表上的意义是一样的)”可知，随着情绪和精力水平持续恶化，作者觉得社交和处理工作任务一样有压力，所以把与朋友共进晚餐比作工作会议。故选D项。 11．细节理解题。根据第五段“Moving to Norwich helped me break this habit. In Norwich, nearly everyone I know lives within a half hour walk of me, with plenty of wonderful cafes, pubs and restaurants in between. (搬到诺维奇帮助我改掉了这个习惯。在诺维奇，我认识的几乎每个人都住在离我步行半小时的范围内，中间还有很多很棒的咖啡馆、酒吧和餐馆)”和第六段“Within months of moving, I rediscovered the joy of free flowing. My days were necessarily emptier, because I had fewer local friends. In the peace and quiet, I came to better understand how I truly liked to spend my time. (搬来几个月后，我重新发现了自由生活的乐趣。我的日子必然更清闲了，因为我在当地的朋友更少了。在宁静中，我开始更好地理解我真正想如何度过我的时间)”可知，搬到诺维奇后，作者欣赏并适应了一种更灵活的生活方式。故选B项。 12．推理判断题。根据最后一段“My newly cleared schedule also meant that, if I finished work for the day and I felt like seeing a film, I could. I started to understand what all those self-help books meant about being your ‘true self’. (我新空出来的日程也意味着，如果我当天工作结束后想看电影，我就可以去。我开始明白那些自助书籍所说的做‘真实的自己’是什么意思了)”以及前文作者从忙碌到享受清闲自由生活可知，做“真实的自己”意味着作者意识到放慢生活节奏的乐趣。故选A项。 Passage 4 【2025届上海市嘉定区交大附中附属中学高三下学期5月高考模拟英语试题】 Bring the beauty of native birds into your home with unique artwork by Pam McGrath Australia and its offshore islands and territories have 898 recorded bird species as of 2014.

(在有记录的鸟类中，165种被视为偶见鸟类，剩余鸟类中有超过45%被归类为澳大利亚特有物种：即在地球上其他任何地方都没有分布)”可知，剩余鸟类中超过45%为澳大利亚特有物种，在地球上其他地方找不到，这表明有大量鸟类仅存在于澳大利亚。故选B项。 14．细节理解题。根据第二段“Artist Pam McGrath expresses her lifetime concern for wildlife conservation through these acrylic paintings of Australian birds. (艺术家帕姆・麦格拉思通过这些澳大利亚鸟类的丙烯酸画作，表达了她对野生动物保护的毕生关注)”可知，帕姆・麦格拉思通过画作表达对野生动物保护的终身关注。故选D项 15．细节理解题。根据表格信息，画作4“Eastern Spinebils find orchids in a tree”的价格为$80，文中第三段“The perfect gift for the nature-lover or art-lover in your life, you’ll also be generously gifting your local charity, as 50% of the purchase price goes towards helping Wildlife Preservation Society of Queensland (WPSQ) continue its important work.

I had the grades and SAT scores to get into Harvard but my father refused to pay even though tuition back then was much more affordable than it is today, well within the means of our family. I went to UCLA instead, a good university but not an Ivy. I worked at least 20 hours per week throughout my four years and have always felt that I missed out on a lot of college. I feel that I didn’t have enough time to devote to my studies. One of my biggest regrets is not having had the kind of immersion experience that my oldest son enjoyed. I envy him, but it’s not a bitter feeling. It doesn’t make me lose sight of my own accomplishments and the very real goodness in my life so far. I believe my own father envied me, too. Early in high school, he had to drop out and help support his family during the Depression. Although he never said as much, I know he wished he could have finished high school and gone on to higher education. I was the only one of his children to do so. When I earned my doctorate and built a life as a professional, he felt a mixture of pride, vicarious fulfillment and envy. I graduated first in my high school class. Years later, I learned that for months after, Dad had carried the little slip announcing my class rank in his pocket, showing it to friends and business associates. He was obviously proud, though he never told me so. It strikes me as a narcissistic sort of pride, about him rather than me. Many of you will relate to this experience. In your comments to my posts, you’ve told me about parents who exploited you for narcissistic gain. I don’t think my father was a bad man, or that his experience of pride was particularly unusual. Don’t most parents like to brag about their child’s success because it reflects well upon them? When I speak of my sons’ lives, I feel pride in them as well as myself. Envy gets a bad rap but there’s nothing unusual about it. Envy, as I’ve said before, can teach you what you want. Problems only arise when it links up with shame, as I’ve written about before. When the success/beauty/youth enjoyed by someone else makes us feel like a loser in comparison, our envy may become poisonous. In the illogical unconscious, we may feel as if it is precisely because the other person has the trait or thing we want that we cannot have it. We may feel that the only possible relief would be to destroy the object of our envy. 1．According to the text, the author envies his son because ________. A．his son possesses the precious years of youth B．his son has a perfect and impressive childhood C．his son gets into Harvard successfully D．his son has the immersion experience on his study 2．It can be learned that most parents are proud of their children because ________. A．they want to exploit their children for narcissistic gain B．they regard the success as their own and also feel pride in themselves C．they like to brag about their child’s success D．they want to catch their friends’ attention 3．Which of the following is TRUE of this passage? A．The author studied in an Ivy League university on the East Coast. B．The author’s son completed author’s unfinished studies. C．Problems only arise when envy links up with shame.

I envy him, but it’s not a bitter feeling.(我最大的遗憾之一就是没有像我大儿子那样享受那种沉浸式的体验。我羡慕他，但这并不是一种痛苦的感觉)”可知，作者嫉妒他的儿子的原因是他的儿子在学习上有一种沉浸式的体验，故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段“When I earned my doctorate and built a life as a professional, he felt a mixture of pride, vicarious fulfillment and envy.(当我获得博士学位，开始了专业人士的生活时，他感到了一种骄傲、间接的满足和嫉妒的混合情绪)”可知，父母们会把孩子的成功看作是自己的，也为自己感到自豪。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据最后一段“Problems only arise when it links up with shame, as I’ve written about before.(正如我之前写过的那样，只有当它与羞耻联系在一起时，问题才会出现)”可知，C选项“问题只出现在嫉妒和羞耻相结合的时候”正确。故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Envy, as I’ve said before, can teach you what you want.(就像我之前说过的，嫉妒可以教会你想要什么)”可推知，作者对嫉妒的态度是积极的，故选B。 【2020年1月上海高考英语试题】 Top Apps For Climate Activists The world population is at 7 billion and it’s predicted that by the end of this year there will be one smartphone for every five people in the world. That’s a lot of phones and a lot of information literally at our fingertips. Information is constantly changing and those of us working hard to protect the environment for ourselves and future generations need to have access to up-to-date material. Being a climate change activist can be time consuming. But…There’s an app (or ten) for that! The number of apps out there is staggering. With these apps you’ll be amazed at how easy it is to stay in the know when it comes to your health, and the health of the environment. Carbon Emissions Calculator for Air Travel (iOS-Free) This app allows passengers to estimate the carbon emissions attributed to their air travel. It is simple to use-just select your origin and destination airports, specify the class of travel and number of passengers. View the carbon footprint and the distance traveled for your trip. Fooducate ( iOS and Android- $ 4. 99 ) This app empowers food shoppers everywhere to make healthy, informed decisions while at the supermarket. Scan your food and Fooducate generates a letter grade ( A, B, C, or D) for each product scanned, along with brief explanations and warnings about its nutrients and ingredients. There is also an option to enter the bar code manually. The app will recommend minimally processed, real foods which are naturally rich in nutrients and antioxidants. Locavore (iOS and Android-Free) If you’re looking for the closest farmers market selling your favorite in season produce, then Locavore is the app for you. Locavore is a great app for those searching for local, in season, organic foods in your area. The app has one-click access to thousands of healthy, seasonal recipes and other information that can be shared with your friends and family. I like how the app not only lets you know which fruits and veggies are in season-it also lets you know how long they’ll be in season. Zimride (iOS and Android-Free) Ridesharing apps are all the rage. Zimride is a new spin on ridesharing, using social networks to enable real connections. Once you set up a profile you are able to book a ride in your area, or post a ride of your own. Drivers can charge for rides and Zimride doesn’t take a cut. Rides seem to be reasonably priced and since profiles are linked with Facebook it’s easy to check out your potential ride companions. 60.

"Locavore 是个在你所在的地区寻找那些当地的当季的有机食物方面很出色的应用软件。故选C。 62. 解析:答案选 D。根据文中介绍第二个应用程序的段落可知“The app will recommend minimally processed, real foods which are naturally rich in nutrients and antioxidants.”该应用程序将推荐加工最少的，富含天然营养和抗氧化剂的真正的食物。故 D正确。A选项中Carbon Emissions Calculator for Air Travel 这个APP不能计算出准确的碳排放。B 选项中 Locavore 介绍中没有提到它推荐时令肉类C 选项中 Zimride 不收取平台费用，司机可以直接向客户收费。故排除 A、B、C选项。 【2019年6月上海高考英语真题】 Geographers are interested in the spatial patterns observed on earth.

The Chinese company said Tuesday that net income in its fiscal fourth quarter ended March rose 86% from a year earlier to 3.27 billion yuan, equivalent to $452.1 million, well short of the 15.27 billion yuan expected by analysts in a FactSet poll. Alibaba said the bottom line was hurt by a net loss in investments, during the quarter due to mark-to-market changes (按市值计价变动). Adjusted net profit, which excludes items including share-based compensation expenses, investment gains and losses and some impairments, fell 11% to 24.42 billion yuan, missing analysts’ expectations of 25.47 billion yuan. Quarterly revenue rose 6.6% to 221.87 billion yuan, edging analysts’ estimates of 220.62 billion yuan and outpacing the previous quarter’s 5.1%. Sales at Alibaba’s core domestic e-commerce business, Taobao and Tmall Group, rose 3.7% from a year earlier to 93.22 billion yuan. Its cloud-computing unit, which has trimmed prices in recent months, posted a 3. 4% increase in sales to 25.595 billion yuan, while logistics sales rose 30% to 24.56 billion yuan. The company’s overseas e-commerce unit reported a 45% rise in revenue — after 44% growth in the previous quarter — to 27.45 billion yuan. Chief Executive Eddie Wu said in a conference call that the group expects Alibaba Cloud’s revenue, excluding internal customers, to return to double-digit growth in its fiscal second half, and Taobao’s and Tmall’s gross merchandise value to return to healthy growth in the new fiscal year. Alibaba said its board approved a $4 billion dividend for the 2024 fiscal year. It expects to finish upgrading its Hong Kong listing to primary from secondary by the end of August. Quarterly sales growth was in line with the 6% posted Tuesday by fellow Chinese tech giant Tencent. The social-media and gaming company, which said solid ad sales offset gaming weakness, reported a 62% rise in profit, thanks to rapid growth in its high-margin business. 29．Which of the following statements best reflects the impact of mark-to-market changes on Alibaba? A．It had a negligible effect on the company’s overall finance. B．It significantly improved the company’s net income. C．It mainly affected the company’s investment gains and losses.

D．Not mentioned. 31．According to the bar chart, what is the largest possible ratio (比率) between the most profitable quarter and the least profitable one in the net profit quarters?

The moment I picked up my cap, he started crying to go with me and Mama would call from wherever she was, “Take Doodle with you”. He was a burden in many ways. The doctor had said that he mustn’t get too excited, too hot, too cold, or too tired and that he must always be treated gently—a long list of don’ts went with him. His skin was very sensitive, and he had to wear a big straw hat whenever he went out. When the going got rough and he had to climb to the sides of the go-cart, the hat slipped all the way down over his ears. He was a sight. Suddenly, I could see I was licked. Doodle was my brother and he was going to cling to me forever, no matter what I did. I dragged him across the burning cotton field to share with him the only beauty I knew, Old Woman Swamp. His eyes were round with wonder as he gazed, and his little hands began to stroke the rubber grass. Then he began to cry. “For heaven’s sake, what’s the matter?” I asked, annoyed. “It’s so pretty,” he said. “So pretty, pretty, pretty.” 15．By “I could see I was licked (paragraph 3)”, the narrator implies that ________?

As the saying goes: “Tourism is like a fire.

Since the early 1940s, his pioneering creations have dominated both big screens and the private collections of Hollywood’s celebrities. At the age of 7, George Barris and his brother received a 1925 Buick from their parents. They made changes to it, repainted it and then sold it. This experience sparked Barris’ lifelong passion for transforming automobiles. Later, George started turning regular cars into fast racing cars. Hollywood soon recognized his talent, contracting him in 1958 to design his first custom vehicle for the film High School Confidential. Many Hollywood stars flocked to Barris, demanding one-of-a-kind vehicles. The list of clients includes John Wayne, Elvis Presley, the Beatles, Frank Sinatra and many others. Customizing cars became popular after World War II, because people sought something personal to express their individuality. Car clubs emerged, and the appetite for new vehicles grew, especially among the wealthy. The big automobile companies did not venture into this market, leaving the field open to independent operators such as George Barris and others. However, nobody could match Barris’s skill in this field. In the 1960s, Barris created the black and red Batmobile, the most distinctive car of the TV series based on the comic book. For the hit television show The Munsters, he took three Model T Fords and skillfully cut and combined them to craft the family’s unique mode of transportation, the Koach. This vehicle featured an interior that was specially designed to look like a coffin (棺材), perfectly capturing the gothic aesthetic (美学) of the show. The Koach quickly became closely associated with The Munsters, just as the Batmobile was with its own series. George Barris has been designing cars for over six decades. He is a legend in the car design business, often referred to as the “Van Gogh” of the automobile industry. At 80, his son and daughter have taken over the day-to-day operations of the business, but he still actively designs cars in his studio. 1．What first led George Barris and his brother to start working on cars? A．The ambition to design cars for Hollywood. B．The fascination with celebrity car collections. C．The passion for turning regular cars into race cars. D．The inspiration from getting a car as a childhood gift. 2．What was the primary reason for the rise of car customization after World War II? A．The rise of car clubs demanding exclusive designs B．The innovations in automotive production technology C．People’s growing appetite for distinctive self-expression D．Post-war economic recovery boosting consumer spending 3．The underlined phrase “Van Gogh” is used to indicate that George Barris was________ A．a pioneer of abstract designs B．a master of artistic innovations C．a creator of pop culture symbols D．a promoter of mainstream models 4．What is the most appropriate title for the passage? A．Custom Car Clubs: Post-War Boom in Popularity B．Hollywood’s Great Car Designer: George Barris C．George Barris: A Legend in Custom Car Innovation D．Classic Car Designs: Batmobile &Koach Highlights Passage 2 【上海市七宝中学2024-2025学年高三下学期5月英语试卷】 On Nov. 28, the 12-year-old German shepherd named Bear was out for his first long walk following surgery as a birthday treat when he ran into a missing person in need of help in “dense undergrowth” near his walking path, according to a social media post from the nonprofit organization Thin Blue Paw Foundation. The nonprofit, whose mission is to support serving and retired police dogs nationwide, said the lost man was “confused, wet, and cold, and unable to get up” when the retired police dog came across him. “The man was a vulnerable missing person officers had been searching for without success,” the post read. The man was lying in a “dark and very cold” area before being led to safety by Bear. “RPD Bear, you’re a true hero, showing us that even in retirement, you can still save lives,” the organization wrote. “Happy Birthday, Bear!” The Guardian reported that Bear was on the casual walk that led to the missing man with his owner, Julia Pope, and “went into work mode” during the incident. The dog was in recovery at the time and on his first long walk since receiving surgery to remove two harmless tumors two weeks prior. Pope told the outlet that Bear “dragged” her to where the missing individual was. “I’m not sure he would have survived the night as it was extremely cold and almost dark at that point with no one else nearby,” Pope said of the lost man she and Bear found. The man was brought to local police and reunited with his loved ones. While he is retired from active duty with the Sussex police, Bear has been working as a wellbeing and support dog for police staff, reported The Guardian. He had another surgery in the summer of 2023. The Thin Blue Paw Foundation supported the dog during the surgery. Thin Blue Paw Trustee Kieran Stanbridge told The Guardian, “RPD Bear is a true hero — his training and instinct kicked in, and he managed to lead his owner, who is a former police officer, to the man who needed urgent help.” Stanbridge continued, “Thanks to Bear, the man received the help he needed from local officers, even in his retirement, he’s still saving lives.” 5．According to the passage, Bear ________. A．is a retired police dog which has just undergone an operation B．is a serving police dog whose duty is to rescue the homeless C．is supported by a non-profit organization to take on some paid jobs D．is adopted by a former police officer to accompany and safeguard her 6．The word “vulnerable” in paragraph 2 most probably has the same meaning as “________”. A．content. B．weak. C．courageous. D．reliable. 7．Which of the following can be done by The Thin Blue Paw Foundation according to the passage? A．It helps the police dogs throughout the country. B．It pays for the rescue work done by police dogs. C．It provides financial support for dog adopters. D．It improves retired police officers’ wellbeing. 8．What’s the main idea of the passage? A．A non-profit organization sponsors police dogs. B．Bear still enjoys acts of heroism in his senior years. C．A missing man was lucky enough to be rescued. D．Retired police dogs’ surgery impacts their wellbeing. Passage3 【2025届上海市嘉定区交大附中附属中学高三下学期5月高考模拟英语试题】 I used to believe a packed calendar means a full life. My days were booked up, well ahead of time, for dinners out, exercise classes, trips to the cinema — activities that I knew to be beneficial or rewarding. I had been determined to make work less central to my life: I couldn’t burn out when I had so much else going on, I reasoned. But when the time came to follow through on my plans, I tended to find that I had been overly optimistic — not only about how much it was possible, but also about my enthusiasm to do so. As my mood and energy levels continued to worsen, social occasions increasingly felt like another obligation — something I had to do, rather than something I wanted to do. Arriving to have dinner with friends became similar to a work meeting; they registered the same in my calendar. It eventually dawned on me that the act of scheduling far in advance was robbing me of the opportunity to enjoy myself. I had made these plans from a theoretical standpoint, without allowing for the very real possibility that I would be tired, stressed or just not in the mood. Moving to Norwich helped me break this habit. In Norwich, nearly everyone I know lives within a half-hour walk of me, with plenty of wonderful cafes, pubs and restaurants in between. Within months of moving, I rediscovered the joy of free-flowing. My days were necessarily emptier, because I had fewer local friends. In the peace and quiet, I came to better understand how I truly liked to spend my time. I was surprised by how much I benefited from spending more time alone. I found myself having bright ideas and interesting thoughts that I suspect would have failed me had I carried on at breakneck pace. My newly cleared schedule also meant that, if I finished work for the day and I felt like seeing a film, I could. I started to understand what all those self-help books meant about being your “true self”. 9．Why did the author plan her activities well ahead of time? A．To ensure she can balance life and work. B．To reflect her time management skills. C．To make sure her schedule is always full. D．To avoid missing out on social events. 10．Why did the author compare dinner with friends to a work meeting? A．She found social events a break from work responsibilities. B．She believed the work meetings could also be enjoyable. C．She saw the work meetings as a special form of social events. D．She felt socializing as stressful as dealing with work tasks. 11．How did the move to Norwich affect the author? A．She felt lonely with fewer friends and social events. B．She appreciated a more flexible approach to life. C．She lifted her productivity and finished work sooner. D．She became busier with more ideas and thoughts. 12．What does the author mean by being your “true self” (last paragraph)? A．Realizing the joy of slowing down the pace of life. B．Discovering that a lonely life can also be a full life. C．Finding happiness in following a packed schedule. D．Making a detailed plan for personal development. Passage 4 【2025届上海市嘉定区交大附中附属中学高三下学期5月高考模拟英语试题】 Bring the beauty of native birds into your home with unique artwork by Pam McGrath Australia and its offshore islands and territories have 898 recorded bird species as of 2014. Of the recorded birds, 165 are considered accidental visitors, of the remainder over 45% are classified as Australian endemics: found nowhere else on earth. It has been suggested that up to 10% of Australian bird species may go extinct by the year 2100 as a result of climate change. Artist Pam McGrath expresses her lifetime concern for wildlife conservation through these acrylic paintings of Australian birds. While celebrating their beauty and diversity, the birds are presented in abstract design with straight lines, rather than the delicate natural form, to suggest the challenges of their adaption to environmental change. 1 2 3 4 5 Each of these framed, one-of-a-kind original artworks is available for purchase from $80 (plus $50 packing and sending). The perfect gift for the nature-lover or art-lover in your life, you’ll also be generously gifting your local charity, as 50% of the purchase price goes towards helping Wildlife Preservation Society of Queensland (WPSQ) continue its important work. 13．According to the passage, which of the following is true about Australian birds? A．Australia has the most recorded bird species around the world. B．A large number of bird species could only be found in Australia. C．By 2010, more birds will be visitors rather than local endemics. D．Almost one-tenth local bird species went extinct in recent years. 14．What does Pam McGrath want to express through her paintings of birds? A．Her love for the beauty of Australian birds.

D．$130. 【2020年1月上海高考英语试题】 When I was in high school, I wanted to attend an Ivy League university on the East Coast. I had the grades and SAT scores to get into Harvard but my father refused to pay even though tuition back then was much more affordable than it is today, well within the means of our family. I went to UCLA instead, a good university but not an Ivy. I worked at least 20 hours per week throughout my four years and have always felt that I missed out on a lot of college. I feel that I didn’t have enough time to devote to my studies. One of my biggest regrets is not having had the kind of immersion experience that my oldest son enjoyed. I envy him, but it’s not a bitter feeling. It doesn’t make me lose sight of my own accomplishments and the very real goodness in my life so far. I believe my own father envied me, too. Early in high school, he had to drop out and help support his family during the Depression. Although he never said as much, I know he wished he could have finished high school and gone on to higher education. I was the only one of his children to do so. When I earned my doctorate and built a life as a professional, he felt a mixture of pride, vicarious fulfillment and envy. I graduated first in my high school class. Years later, I learned that for months after, Dad had carried the little slip announcing my class rank in his pocket, showing it to friends and business associates. He was obviously proud, though he never told me so. It strikes me as a narcissistic sort of pride, about him rather than me. Many of you will relate to this experience. In your comments to my posts, you’ve told me about parents who exploited you for narcissistic gain. I don’t think my father was a bad man, or that his experience of pride was particularly unusual. Don’t most parents like to brag about their child’s success because it reflects well upon them? When I speak of my sons’ lives, I feel pride in them as well as myself. Envy gets a bad rap but there’s nothing unusual about it. Envy, as I’ve said before, can teach you what you want. Problems only arise when it links up with shame, as I’ve written about before. When the success/beauty/youth enjoyed by someone else makes us feel like a loser in comparison, our envy may become poisonous. In the illogical unconscious, we may feel as if it is precisely because the other person has the trait or thing we want that we cannot have it. We may feel that the only possible relief would be to destroy the object of our envy. 1．According to the text, the author envies his son because ________. A．his son possesses the precious years of youth B．his son has a perfect and impressive childhood C．his son gets into Harvard successfully D．his son has the immersion experience on his study 2．It can be learned that most parents are proud of their children because ________. A．they want to exploit their children for narcissistic gain B．they regard the success as their own and also feel pride in themselves C．they like to brag about their child’s success D．they want to catch their friends’ attention 3．Which of the following is TRUE of this passage? A．The author studied in an Ivy League university on the East Coast. B．The author’s son completed author’s unfinished studies. C．Problems only arise when envy links up with shame. D．The author’s father didn’t care about his study and dropped out. 4．What is the author’s attitude toward envy? A．Negative. B．Positive. C．Skeptical. D．Indifferent. 【2020年1月上海高考英语试题】 Top Apps For Climate Activists The world population is at 7 billion and it’s predicted that by the end of this year there will be one smartphone for every five people in the world.
