Besides appreciating the wisdom hidden in these historical volumes, she also focuses on how they are bound (装帧) and presented. “It’s more like a force of habit caused by my job,” said Song. This 34-year-old “book doctor” has been working in the restoration department for ancient books at the National Library of China in Beijing, since she finished her cultural relic protection studies course at Peking University in 2015. Up to now, she has been engaged in restoring more than 100 ancient cultural relies. At the moment, Song and her colleagues are working on restoring a copy of Yongle Dadian, an encyclopedia created in 1408. Unfortunately, most of its books that have survived until today have suffered damage to their original binding. “To rest ore them to their original form, we need to gather information from various sources, such as images and texts, before we can make sure their original binding style and repair them accordingly,” she explained. Moreover, the ancient encyclopedia’s silk texture and color have both grown inconsistent, which makes creating the necessary raw materials and matching the color difficult. In the past, restorers had to rely on their experience to determine the appropriate materials to use for a project. As technology has evolved, they are able to use a new method to finish the task through microscopes. However, technology can only help so much, as ancient books restoration still requires essential manual skills, including cutting and brushing paper and binding. Apart from this, the restoration also requires strong control when brushing the paper. “If the pressure is not properly controlled during the brushing process, the paper may tear, but if the touch is too light, the paper won’t adhere (黏附),” Song explained. Owing to the meaningful and complex process, the ancient books restoration technique of the national library was listed as a national-level intangible cultural heritage in 2008. “Hopefully, I can be of some help in inspiring more young people to find their lifelong passion in the field of cultural heritage preservation,” said Song. 4. Why is Song Jing called a “book doctor”? A. She works in the restoration department. B. She focuses on the binding of ancient books. C. She is devoted to the ancient books restoration. D. She enjoys checking out ancient books in a museum. 5. What is a challenge in the restoration of the encyclopedia? A. Editing texts B. Gathering images C. Going with the color D. Identifying raw materials 6. Which of the following can best describe Song? A. dedicated and careful B. unselfish and cautious C. diligent and ambitious D. determined and creative 7. What’s the purpose of the text? A. To relate a story B. To introduce a “book doctor” C. To share a passion D. To protect the cultural heritage C It is William Shakespeare, the great coiner, who is given credit for the word. Coriolanus, one of his characters, compares going into exile (流放) to a “lonely dragon” retiring to his cave. He was talking about a physical state: someone who was lonely was simply alone. Then, thanks to the Romantic poets, the word took on emotional meanings. Loneliness became a condition of the soul. For William Wordsworth, who famously “wandered lonely as a cloud”, the natural world offered an escape from negative feelings of loneliness — a host of flowers could provide “cheerful company”. Today, loneliness is often seen as a serious public-health problem, creating the feeling of disconnection. In his book Solitude, Netta Weinstein, a psychology professor wonders the rewards of time spent alone. He begins with an account of stories of solitude created by figures such as Michel Montaigne, a writer, and Edward Hopper, a painter. Netta then draw on laboratory work, interviews and surveys to clarify how being alone really affects the human mind. It is common to treat loneliness and solitude as synonyms (同义词), but they are not. The author suggests that what is negatively described as one state can be positively expressed as the other. Loneliness, often perceived as negative, can potentially be transformed into a positive experience of solitude. To this end he emphasizes how being alone can help restore people and offers practical advice. In a noisy world, he argues, people should make time to be alone, away from attention-grabbing motives. The book’s interviewees mostly regard a lack of company as a contributor to autonomy (自主). But this depends on whether solitude is desirable or not. Enforced solitude, such as that experienced by prisoners, typically leads to nothing but suffering. Elective solitude, by contrast, affords space for self-reflection. It can open the door to “peak experiences” such as wonder, harmony, and happiness. However, it is a pity that in a highly-connected digital age, many readers don’t like their chances of ever taking a long enough break to have such experiences. 8. How does paragraph 1 introduce the concept of loneliness? A. By tracing its development. B. By analyzing causes. C. By making a point to be argued. D. By sharing a romantic story. 9. What does Netta Weinstein’s book Solitude focus on? A. The various terms of solitude. B. The societal impact of solitude. C. The long-standing history of solitude. D. The psychological benefits of solitude. 10. Netta describes the state of loneliness as _______. A. stressful B. essential C. changeable D. harmful 11. What does Netta most probably agree with according to the last paragraph? A. Enforced solitude is a matter of choice. B. Enforced solitude contributes to autonomy. C. Elective solitude is rare in the digital world. D. Elective solitude interrupts peak experiences. D Rare is the CEO who praises the virtues of a lie- in. According to one survey, two- thirds of the CEOs of large American companies are up by 6 o’ clock; for average Americans the share is less than one in three. For future corporate leaders, the message seems clear: you snooze (打盹), you lose. Bartleby has no such ambitions. But he’s experimented with early starts, and found they not only bring the sense of satisfaction that comes from arriving before your editor. Inboxes can be cleared and tricky problems solved before the flood of emails and meetings, leaving you feeling well prepared for the day ahead. Early birds are certainly held in higher regard. Rolling into the office late is unacceptable in most workplaces. A study published in 2022 found night owls (猫头鹰) were perceived by respondents as being “lazy”, “undisciplined” and “immature”. Rising early is not, though, all upside. Those ready to receive work when the boss arrives may be given more of it. If the early bird gets the worm, the clever worm stays in bed. Urgent tasks often come up during the day, meaning early arrivals may end up working just as late as other colleagues. Waking before sun rise also risks turning you into a bore. Some early risers cannot resist describing how much they get done while night owls hit the snooze button. Others go home early rather than socialize. Night owls, by contrast, let loose. In the eyes of many, late nights are the preserve of youth, while early mornings are seen as for the elderly. Efforts to change your circadian (昼夜节律的) rhythm are likely to end in disappointment, as it is largely a product of genes. Perhaps the best advice is to stop worrying about your body clock. Most people are neither early birds nor night owls, but in between, struggling both in the morning and late evening. That is why most offices operate between 9 and 5— and why they ought to have break rooms. 12. Why does the writer mention the survey in paragraph 1? A. To illustrate the harmful effects of snoozing. B. To praise the healthy sleeping habit of the CEOs. C. To tell the difference between CEOs and average workers. D. To show the possible link between early rising and success. 13. What does paragraph 2 focus on? A. The feelings of early risers. B. The challenges on a workday. C. The benefits of getting up early. D. The preparations before work. 14. What can be a downside of being an early bird? A. Poor public image. B. Increased workload. C. Hug e social pressure. D. Decreased productivity. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Why Do CEOs Prefer Early Mornings? B. How Can We Change Our Body Clock? C. What Is the Science Behind Early Rising? D. Is It Better to Be an Early Bird or a Night Owl? 第二节 （共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Keep Personal Art Journals You might have heard that keeping a journal is a great way to record your thoughts and understand your emotions.

When you look back at what you’ve written or drawn, you can gain valuable insight into the challenges in your life.

Besides, you become aware of your style. C. Another characteristic to think about is the type of pages in the book. D. This way, you can not only express yourself, but also influence others. E.

Ms. Sandra, one of the few remaining masters of su filindeu, a handmade Italian pasta (意大利面), explained in the first class that this skill had been practiced for over 300 years and was the rarest of 350 pasta varieties worldwide. She emphasized, “Fewer than ten people in the world still master this skill. If we don’t act, the art will disappear.” The students fell silent, realizing the importance of what they were learning. Then, with flour-dusted hands, Ms. Sandra shifted the mood. “Now, let me show you its magic.” The students leaned forward as she started the incredible transformation. She rolled the dough (面团) into a thick rope and then stretched it into 256 perfect strands (线). The classroom was filled with admiration as the teacher’s hands moved gracefully. For weeks, David and his classmates threw themselves into learning the skill of making su filindeu with Ms. Sandra’s help, but it didn’t come easily. The dough kept breaking or sticking together. Sometimes, they couldn’t stretch more than 16 strands. Still, they refused to quit, helping and encouraging each other as they improved little by little. One afternoon, Ms. Sandra entered the classroom with heavy steps. She sighed, “The school board thinks our su filindeu class isn’t practical. They’ve decided to cancel it next term unless we can prove its value.” She added, “It’s true that machines can mass-produce pasta in minutes, but if we only value what’s fast and easy, we lose centuries of knowledge.” A wave of disappointment swept through the classroom. After a moment of silence, David stood up. “What if we let more people know about it? How about an exhibition?” he suggested. The class lit up with excitement. Inspired by their reaction, David immediately volunteered to organize the exhibition. Ms. Sandra watched, proud and hopeful. Perhaps, she thought, they really could work some magic. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 David and his classmates quickly got to work. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The day after the exhibition, Ms. Sandra entered the classroom with a smile. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 南安一中2024～2025学年度下学期高二年期末考 英语科试卷 本试卷分第I卷（选择题）和第II卷，共12页，满分150分，考试时间120。 注意事项： 1．答题前，考生务必先将自己的姓名、准考证号填涂在答题卡上。 2．考生作答时，请将答案答在答题卡上，在本试卷上答题无效。按照题号在各题的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效。 3．答案使用0.5毫米的黑色中性（签字）笔或碳素笔书写，字体工整、笔迹清楚；选择题答案使用2B铅笔填涂，如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其它答案标号。 4．保持答题卡纸面清洁，不破损。考试结束后，将本试卷自行保存，答题卡交回。 第I卷 第一部分 听力 （共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共5小题：每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

(每次实地考察的最低费用为120美元。)”可知，一名学生收费12 美元，每10名学生可以有1位监护人不收费，老师都不收费，但是一次实地考察活动最低费用是120美元。结合这些信息可知，9名学生和1位监护人原本费用应是114美元（学生人数不到10，监护人需收费，老师不收费），但是没有达到最低收费标准，所以按最低收费120美元算。故选C。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Bring your group or class to explore our hands-on Science Center now which provides wonderful learning opportunities for students all along the Emerald Coast!

Besides appreciating the wisdom hidden in these historical volumes, she also focuses on how they are bound (装帧) and presented. “It’s more like a force of habit caused by my job,” said Song. This 34-year-old “book doctor” has been working in the restoration department for ancient books at the National Library of China in Beijing, since she finished her cultural relic protection studies course at Peking University in 2015. Up to now, she has been engaged in restoring more than 100 ancient cultural relies. At the moment, Song and her colleagues are working on restoring a copy of Yongle Dadian, an encyclopedia created in 1408. Unfortunately, most of its books that have survived until today have suffered damage to their original binding. “To rest ore them to their original form, we need to gather information from various sources, such as images and texts, before we can make sure their original binding style and repair them accordingly,” she explained. Moreover, the ancient encyclopedia’s silk texture and color have both grown inconsistent, which makes creating the necessary raw materials and matching the color difficult. In the past, restorers had to rely on their experience to determine the appropriate materials to use for a project. As technology has evolved, they are able to use a new method to finish the task through microscopes. However, technology can only help so much, as ancient books restoration still requires essential manual skills, including cutting and brushing paper and binding. Apart from this, the restoration also requires strong control when brushing the paper. “If the pressure is not properly controlled during the brushing process, the paper may tear, but if the touch is too light, the paper won’t adhere (黏附),” Song explained. Owing to the meaningful and complex process, the ancient books restoration technique of the national library was listed as a national-level intangible cultural heritage in 2008. “Hopefully, I can be of some help in inspiring more young people to find their lifelong passion in the field of cultural heritage preservation,” said Song. 4. Why is Song Jing called a “book doctor”? A. She works in the restoration department. B. She focuses on the binding of ancient books. C. She is devoted to the ancient books restoration. D. She enjoys checking out ancient books in a museum. 5. What is a challenge in the restoration of the encyclopedia? A. Editing texts B. Gathering images C. Going with the color D. Identifying raw materials 6. Which of the following can best describe Song? A. dedicated and careful B. unselfish and cautious C. diligent and ambitious D. determined and creative 7. What’s the purpose of the text? A. To relate a story B. To introduce a “book doctor” C. To share a passion D. To protect the cultural heritage 【答案】4. C 5. C 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲的是古籍修复师宋晶的工作、她对古籍修复的热情和专业知识，以及她对文化遗产保护的贡献和期望。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“This 34-year-old “book doctor” has been working in the restoration department for ancient books at the National Library of China in Beijing, since she finished her cultural relic protection studies course at Peking University in 2015.(这位34岁的“书医”自2015年毕业于北京大学文物保护专业后，一直在北京中国国家图书馆古籍修复部工作。)”可知，宋晶被称为“书医”是因为她致力于古籍修复工作。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Moreover, the ancient encyclopedia’s silk texture and color have both grown inconsistent, which makes creating the necessary raw materials and matching the color difficult.(此外，古代百科全书的丝绸质地和颜色都变得不一致，这使得创造必要的原材料和配色变得困难。)”可知，修复百科全书的挑战是搭配颜色。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“This 34-year-old “book doctor” has been working in the restoration department for ancient books at the National Library of China in Beijing, since she finished her cultural relic protection studies course at Peking University in 2015.

Up to now, she has been engaged in restoring more than 100 ancient cultural relies.(这位34岁的“书医”自2015年毕业于北京大学文物保护专业后，一直在北京中国国家图书馆古籍修复部工作。到目前为止，她已经修复了100多件古文化文物。)”和最后一段“Hopefully, I can be of some help in inspiring more young people to find their lifelong passion in the field of cultural heritage preservation(希望我能在激励更多年轻人在文化遗产保护领域找到他们毕生的激情方面有所帮助。)”可知，本文主要讲的是古籍修复师宋晶的工作、她对古籍修复的热情和专业知识，以及她对文化遗产保护的贡献和期望，因此目的是分享宋晶对工作的热情，故选C。 C It is William Shakespeare, the great coiner, who is given credit for the word. Coriolanus, one of his characters, compares going into exile (流放) to a “lonely dragon” retiring to his cave. He was talking about a physical state: someone who was lonely was simply alone. Then, thanks to the Romantic poets, the word took on emotional meanings. Loneliness became a condition of the soul. For William Wordsworth, who famously “wandered lonely as a cloud”, the natural world offered an escape from negative feelings of loneliness — a host of flowers could provide “cheerful company”. Today, loneliness is often seen as a serious public-health problem, creating the feeling of disconnection. In his book Solitude, Netta Weinstein, a psychology professor wonders the rewards of time spent alone. He begins with an account of stories of solitude created by figures such as Michel Montaigne, a writer, and Edward Hopper, a painter. Netta then draw on laboratory work, interviews and surveys to clarify how being alone really affects the human mind. It is common to treat loneliness and solitude as synonyms (同义词), but they are not. The author suggests that what is negatively described as one state can be positively expressed as the other. Loneliness, often perceived as negative, can potentially be transformed into a positive experience of solitude. To this end he emphasizes how being alone can help restore people and offers practical advice. In a noisy world, he argues, people should make time to be alone, away from attention-grabbing motives. The book’s interviewees mostly regard a lack of company as a contributor to autonomy (自主). But this depends on whether solitude is desirable or not. Enforced solitude, such as that experienced by prisoners, typically leads to nothing but suffering. Elective solitude, by contrast, affords space for self-reflection. It can open the door to “peak experiences” such as wonder, harmony, and happiness. However, it is a pity that in a highly-connected digital age, many readers don’t like their chances of ever taking a long enough break to have such experiences. 8. How does paragraph 1 introduce the concept of loneliness? A. By tracing its development. B. By analyzing causes. C. By making a point to be argued. D. By sharing a romantic story. 9. What does Netta Weinstein’s book Solitude focus on? A. The various terms of solitude. B. The societal impact of solitude. C. The long-standing history of solitude. D. The psychological benefits of solitude. 10. Netta describes the state of loneliness as _______. A. stressful B. essential C. changeable D. harmful 11. What does Netta most probably agree with according to the last paragraph? A. Enforced solitude is a matter of choice. B. Enforced solitude contributes to autonomy. C. Elective solitude is rare in the digital world. D. Elective solitude interrupts peak experiences. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章探讨了独处与孤独的区别，并强调独处对个人成长的重要性。通过历史人物的故事和科学研究，作者提倡在喧嚣世界中寻找独处时光，以恢复内心并享受自我反思的益处。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第一段“It is William Shakespeare, the great coiner, who is given credit for the word. Coriolanus, one of his characters, compares going into exile(流放)to a ‘lonely dragon’retiring to his cave. He was talking about a physical state: someone who was lonely was simply alone. Then, thanks to the Romantic poets, the word took on emotional meanings. Loneliness became a condition of the soul. For William Wordsworth, who famously ‘wandered lonely as a cloud’, the natural world offered an escape from negative feelings of loneliness—a host of flowers could provide ‘cheerful company’. Today, loneliness is often seen as a serious public-health problem, creating the feeling of disconnection.(这个词的功劳通常归于伟大的造词者威廉·莎士比亚。在他的笔下，人物科利奥兰纳斯将流放比作“孤独的龙”退入洞穴。他所描述的是一种身体上的状态：孤独的人只是独自一人。后来，由于浪漫主义诗人的影响，这个词又增添了情感上的含义。孤独成为了一种心灵的状态。对于威廉·华兹华斯这位著名的“像云朵般孤独地游荡”的诗人来说，自然世界能让人摆脱孤独带来的负面情绪——一丛鲜花就能提供“令人愉悦的陪伴”。如今，孤独常被视为一个严重的公共健康问题，它会让人产生一种脱节感。)”可知，第一段通过回顾从莎士比亚最初使用“孤独”一词描述单纯的物理上的独处状态，到浪漫主义诗人将其含义扩展到心灵层面的过程，追溯了“孤独”概念的发展。故选A项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第二段“In his book Solitude, Netta Weinstein, a psychology professor wonders the rewards of time spent alone. He begins with an account of stories of solitude created by figures such as Michel Montaigne, a writer, and Edward Hopper, a painter. Netta then draw on laboratory work, interviews and surveys to clarify how being alone really affects the human mind. (心理学教授Netta Weinstein在他的《孤独》一书中想知道独处时间的回报。他首先讲述了作家 Michel Montaigne和画家Edward Hopper等人物创作的孤独故事。然后，Netta利用实验室工作、访谈和调查来阐明独处是如何真正影响人类思维的。)”可知，《孤独》一书着重探讨了独处时间对人心理的正面影响，通过历史人物的故事、实验室研究、访谈和调查数据来阐明独处如何真正作用于人的心理。故选D项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第三段中“Loneliness, often perceived as negative, can potentially be transformed into a positive experience of solitude.(孤独，通常被认为是消极的，可以潜在地转化为积极的孤独体验。)”可知，孤独的状态是可以改变的。故选C项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。由文章最后一段中“Elective solitude, by contrast, affords space for self-reflection. It can open the door to ‘peak experiences’ such as wonder, harmony, and happiness. However, it is a pity that in a highly-connected digital age, many readers don’t like their chances of ever taking a long enough break to have such experiences.(相比之下，选择性的独处提供了自我反思的空间。它可以打开通往‘巅峰体验’的大门，比如奇迹、和谐和幸福。然而，遗憾的是，在一个高度互联的数字时代，许多读者不喜欢他们有足够长的休息时间来体验这种体验。)”可知，Netta可能同意的一个观点是在高度互联的数字时代，许多读者认为自己不太可能有足够长的时间中断来体验“巅峰时刻”，暗示在这样的环境下，人们主动选择的、有利于自我反思的独处变得较为少见，即选择性独处在数字世界中是罕见的。故选C项。 D Rare is the CEO who praises the virtues of a lie- in. According to one survey, two- thirds of the CEOs of large American companies are up by 6 o’ clock; for average Americans the share is less than one in three. For future corporate leaders, the message seems clear: you snooze (打盹), you lose. Bartleby has no such ambitions. But he’s experimented with early starts, and found they not only bring the sense of satisfaction that comes from arriving before your editor. Inboxes can be cleared and tricky problems solved before the flood of emails and meetings, leaving you feeling well prepared for the day ahead. Early birds are certainly held in higher regard. Rolling into the office late is unacceptable in most workplaces. A study published in 2022 found night owls (猫头鹰) were perceived by respondents as being “lazy”, “undisciplined” and “immature”. Rising early is not, though, all upside. Those ready to receive work when the boss arrives may be given more of it. If the early bird gets the worm, the clever worm stays in bed. Urgent tasks often come up during the day, meaning early arrivals may end up working just as late as other colleagues. Waking before sun rise also risks turning you into a bore. Some early risers cannot resist describing how much they get done while night owls hit the snooze button. Others go home early rather than socialize. Night owls, by contrast, let loose. In the eyes of many, late nights are the preserve of youth, while early mornings are seen as for the elderly. Efforts to change your circadian (昼夜节律的) rhythm are likely to end in disappointment, as it is largely a product of genes. Perhaps the best advice is to stop worrying about your body clock. Most people are neither early birds nor night owls, but in between, struggling both in the morning and late evening. That is why most offices operate between 9 and 5— and why they ought to have break rooms. 12. Why does the writer mention the survey in paragraph 1? A. To illustrate the harmful effects of snoozing. B. To praise the healthy sleeping habit of the CEOs. C. To tell the difference between CEOs and average workers. D. To show the possible link between early rising and success. 13. What does paragraph 2 focus on? A. The feelings of early risers. B. The challenges on a workday. C. The benefits of getting up early. D. The preparations before work. 14. What can be a downside of being an early bird? A. Poor public image. B. Increased workload. C. Hug e social pressure. D. Decreased productivity. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Why Do CEOs Prefer Early Mornings? B. How Can We Change Our Body Clock? C. What Is the Science Behind Early Rising? D. Is It Better to Be an Early Bird or a Night Owl? 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是议论文。文章围绕“早起”的话题展开，讨论了早起的利弊，并从不同角度分析了早起对个人和职场生活的影响。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Rare is the CEO who praises the virtues of a lie- in. According to one survey, two- thirds of the CEOs of large American companies are up by 6 o’ clock; for average Americans the share is less than one in three. For future corporate leaders, the message seems clear: you snooze (打盹), you lose. (很少有首席执行官会称赞睡懒觉的好处。根据一项调查，三分之二的美国大公司的首席执行官会在6点钟起床；对于普通美国人来说，这一比例不到三分之一。对于未来的企业领导人来说，这条信息似乎很明确：你打盹，你就输了。)”可知，本段提到调查的原因是为了说明早起和成功之间可能存在的联系。故选D项。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Bartleby has no such ambitions. But he’s experimented with early starts, and found they not only bring the sense of satisfaction that comes from arriving before your editor. Inboxes can be cleared and tricky problems solved before the flood of emails and meetings, leaving you feeling well prepared for the day ahead. (巴特比没有这样的野心。但他尝试过早起，发现早起不仅带来早于编辑到达的满足感。在电子邮件和会议洪流到来之前，收件箱可以被清空，棘手的问题也可以得到解决，让你为即将到来的一天做好充分准备。)”可知，本段主要讲述了早起的好处。故选C项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Rising early is not, though, all upside. Those ready to receive work when the boss arrives may be given more of it. If the early bird gets the worm, the clever worm stays in bed. Urgent tasks often come up during the day, meaning early arrivals may end up working just as late as other colleagues. (然而，早起也并非都是好处。那些准备在老板到达时开始工作的人可能会被分配更多工作。如果说早起的鸟儿有虫吃，那么聪明的虫子就会赖在床上。紧急任务经常在白天出现，这意味着早到的人可能也会像其他同事一样工作到很晚。)”可知，早起的坏处是可能增加工作量。故选B项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据倒数第二段“Waking before sun rise also risks turning you into a bore. Some early risers cannot resist describing how much they get done while night owls hit the snooze button. Others go home early rather than socialize. Night owls, by contrast, let loose. In the eyes of many, late nights are the preserve of youth, while early mornings are seen as for the elderly. (日出前醒来也有可能让你变得无趣。一些早起的人忍不住会描述他们在夜猫子们打盹时完成了多少工作。另一些人则会早点回家，而不是进行社交。相比之下，夜猫子们则会放松。在许多人眼中，深夜是年轻人的专属，而清晨则被视为老年人的专属。)”以及通读全文可知，本文主要讨论了早起的利弊，所以D项“Is It Better to Be an Early Bird or a Night Owl?(早起好还是夜猫子好?)”是本文最好的标题。故选D项。 第二节 （共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Keep Personal Art Journals You might have heard that keeping a journal is a great way to record your thoughts and understand your emotions.

(而且，由于在艺术日记中有很多方式可以表达自己，因此对于初学者和更有经验的创意人员来说，这都是一个绝佳的创意渠道。)”可知，空前与空后为转折关系，话题从Typical journaling转向了art journal，空处应为转折句，与F项“But for those who are more visually-minded, an art journal is a great alternative. (但对于那些更有视觉意识的人来说，艺术期刊是一个很好的选择。)”上下文一致，符合文意，引起下文，故选F项。 【17题详解】 根据下文“It combines elements of writing, drawing, painting, collage (拼贴画), and even graffiti to express yourself. This includes your everyday life, as well as your hopes, dreams, and fears. A single page will often have both words and illustrations to offer a look at what’s going on inside your head.

(其他人则更喜欢坚持使用他们熟悉的单一媒介。)”上下文一致，符合文意，E项中的single medium与上文中mixed media前后呼应，故选E项。 【20题详解】 根据上文“There are many considerations when it comes to picking your journal book. (在选择日记本时，有很多考虑因素。)”可知，本段在讲述挑选日志本时的注意事项，结合“Size is one. (尺寸是其一)”可知，空处应是在另一个要考虑的特征，与C项“Another characteristic to think about is the type of pages in the book. (另一个需要考虑的特征是书中的页面类型。)”上下文一致，符合文意，故选C项。 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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 The art of living is to know when to hold fast and when to let go.

Ms. Sandra, one of the few remaining masters of su filindeu, a handmade Italian pasta (意大利面), explained in the first class that this skill had been practiced for over 300 years and was the rarest of 350 pasta varieties worldwide. She emphasized, “Fewer than ten people in the world still master this skill. If we don’t act, the art will disappear.” The students fell silent, realizing the importance of what they were learning. Then, with flour-dusted hands, Ms. Sandra shifted the mood. “Now, let me show you its magic.” The students leaned forward as she started the incredible transformation. She rolled the dough (面团) into a thick rope and then stretched it into 256 perfect strands (线). The classroom was filled with admiration as the teacher’s hands moved gracefully. For weeks, David and his classmates threw themselves into learning the skill of making su filindeu with Ms. Sandra’s help, but it didn’t come easily. The dough kept breaking or sticking together. Sometimes, they couldn’t stretch more than 16 strands. Still, they refused to quit, helping and encouraging each other as they improved little by little. One afternoon, Ms. Sandra entered the classroom with heavy steps. She sighed, “The school board thinks our su filindeu class isn’t practical. They’ve decided to cancel it next term unless we can prove its value.” She added, “It’s true that machines can mass-produce pasta in minutes, but if we only value what’s fast and easy, we lose centuries of knowledge.” A wave of disappointment swept through the classroom. After a moment of silence, David stood up. “What if we let more people know about it? How about an exhibition?” he suggested. The class lit up with excitement. Inspired by their reaction, David immediately volunteered to organize the exhibition. Ms. Sandra watched, proud and hopeful. Perhaps, she thought, they really could work some magic. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 David and his classmates quickly got to work. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The day after the exhibition, Ms. Sandra entered the classroom with a smile. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 David and his classmates quickly got to work. They spent days practicing the skill, determined to perfect it for the exhibition. David, who was in charge of organizing, contacted local media and invited community members. He knew that if they could show the beauty and history of su filindeu, people would appreciate it. On the day of the exhibition, the students demonstrated the process, explaining its significance. Many visitors were amazed by the skill, realizing that traditions like this should not be lost. The day after the exhibition, Ms. Sandra entered the classroom with a smile. She announced that the school board had decided to keep the class after seeing the positive response from the exhibition. “You’ve shown everyone the value of preserving traditions,” she said proudly. David and his classmates cheered, feeling a sense of accomplishment. They knew that their hard work had made a difference and that they had played a part in saving a piece of history. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。大卫和同学们在桑德拉老师的指导下学习制作意大利传统手工面食su filindeu。但校董事会认为该课程不实用要取消。大卫提议举办展览展示其价值。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首“大卫和他的同学们很快就开始工作了。”可知，第一段写大卫和同学们为展览做准备，包括练习技艺、联系媒体和邀请社区成员等，突出他们的努力和决心。 ②由第二段句首“展览结束后的第二天，桑德拉微笑着走进教室。”可知，第二段写桑德拉老师宣布好消息，即校董事会因展览的积极反响决定保留课程，同学们欢呼，体现他们的成就感以及保护传统技艺的意义。 2.续写线索：开始工作——同学们努力练习——展览当天展示技艺——展览成功——桑德拉微笑着走进教室——校董事会决定保留课程——同学们感到自豪和有成就感 3.词汇激活 行为类 ① 练习技艺：practice the skill/exercise the skill ② 负责：be in charge of/take charge of ③ 联系媒体：contact local media/get in touch with local media 情绪类 ① 惊讶：amazed/surprised/astonished ② 自豪地：proud/with pride 【点睛】【高分句型1】David, who was in charge of organizing, contacted local media and invited community members.
