She adds：“I’ve moved house many times and I always like to personalise my room and put up pictures.So，it’s been useful to know how to cover up holes and repaint a room to avoid any charges when I’ve moved out.” With millions of people likely to take on DIY projects over the coming weeks，new research shows that more than half of people are planning to make the most of the long，warm summer days to get jobs done.The average spend per project will be around ￡823. Two thirds of people aim to improve their comfort while at home.A fifth wish to increase the value of their houses.Though DIY has traditionally been seen as a male hobby，the research shows it is women now leading the charge.  　　[语篇解读]　本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者讲述了Terri Bolton的真实经历，从而探讨DIY这一流行的生活方式。 24.Which is closest in meaning to “a dab hand” in paragraph 1? A.An artist.　　　　　　 B.A winner. C.A specialist. D.A pioneer. 答案：C 解析：词义猜测题。根据第一段中的“Skilled at putting up shelves and piecing together furniture，she never pays someone else to do a job she can do herself.”可知，Terri Bolton擅长搭架子和拼装家具，她自己能做的工作从不付钱给别人做。据此可知，她是自我动手方面的专家，故画线部分意为“专家”。 24 25 26 27 25.Why did Terri’s grandfather give her ￡5 a day? A.For a birthday gift. B.As a treat for her work. C.To support her DIY projects. D.To encourage her to take up a hobby. 答案：B 24 25 26 27 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段的“A day’s work was rewarded with ￡5 in pocket money.”可知，一天的工作使她得到五英镑零用钱的奖励。据此可知，她外祖父给她零用钱是为了奖励她一天的工作。故B项正确。 24 25 26 27 26.How did Terri avoid losing the deposit on the house she rented? A.By making it look like before. B.By furnishing it herself. C.By splitting the rent with a roommate. D.By cancelling the rental agreement. 答案：A 24 25 26 27 解析：细节理解题。根据第三段的Terri Bolton所说的话“I’ve moved house many times...repaint a room to avoid any charges when I’ve moved out.”可知，她已经搬过很多次家了，总是喜欢把自己的房间个性化，挂上照片。所以，她知道如何修补墙上的洞，如何重新粉刷房间，从而避免搬出去的时候被扣押金。据此可知，她通过使房子看起来和入住时一样来避免损失押金。故A项正确。 24 25 26 27 27.What trend in DIY does the research show? A.It is becoming more costly. B.It is getting more time-consuming. C.It is turning into a seasonal industry. D.It is gaining popularity among females. 答案：D 24 25 26 27 解析：推理判断题。根据第四段的“Though DIY has traditionally been seen as a male hobby，the research shows it is women now leading the charge.”可知，尽管DIY传统上被认为是男性的爱好，但研究表明，现在是女性主导了这一潮流。据此可推知，DIY当前深受女性欢迎。故D项正确。 24 25 26 27 Part 1　词汇 (一)词汇识记 1. __________ v.放下，放置；储蓄；存放 n.押金 2. ____________ vt.使个性化；把……拟人化 3. __________ n.主管；负责 4. __________ v.(使)分裂；使分开(成为几个部分) n.分裂；分离；划分 adj.劈开的；分离的 5. __________ v.取消；撤销 6. ____________ n.流行；受欢迎；普及；人气 deposit personalise charge split cancel popularity (二)熟词生义(写出句中黑体词的词性和汉语意思) 1.Skilled at putting up shelves and piecing together furniture，she never pays someone else to do a job she can do herself.(piece基本义：n.块；部分；片；部件) ___________________ 2.She credits these skills to her late grandfather and builder Derek Lloyd.(credit基本义：n.信用；贷款；学分) ________________________________ v.接合；修补；凑合 v.认为是……的功劳，把……归于 (三)词块积累 1.pocket money __________ 2.put down the flooring throughout the house _________________________ 3.cover up holes __________ 4.be proud of my skills ______________________ 5.come to an end __________ 6.take on _____________________________ 零花钱 把整栋房子的地板都铺好 掩盖破洞 对我的技术感到自豪 结束 装(货)；承担，接受；呈现 17 7.make the most of the long，warm summer days __________________________ 8.aim to improve their comfort ________________________ 9.take up a hobby _______________ 10.lead the charge __________ 充分利用漫长而温暖的夏天 旨在改善它们的舒适性 喜欢上一个爱好 带头冲锋 18 ①The exam results will be put __________ on Monday morning. ②Your own personal robot will put __________ books that you have left on the floor or bed. ③Can I put your name __________ for club secretary? ④学生们在课堂上提出了一系列关于如何学好英语的问题。 The students _______________________________ about how to learn English well in class.  ⑤电话响了两声后，我放下了。 After two rings I __________________.  1 put down放下；镇压；贬低 (四)词汇精研 up away forward put forward a series of questions put down the phone 19 put forward 提议，提出(主意、计划等)；推举，提名；提前，把(钟表等)向前拨 put aside把……搁在一边，忽视 put away把……收拾好/放好，储存 put back放回原处；把……向后拨 put off推迟，延期 put on穿，戴上；增加；上演(戏剧等) put out扑灭；出版；生产 put up张贴；举起；搭建；供给膳宿 20 ◎写作素材 put aside our differences 搁置分歧 put forward a solution提出一项解决办法 21 ①The aim of education is __________ (teach) young people to think for themselves and not follow others blindly.  ②Jane moved __________ (aimless) down the tree-lined street，not knowing where she was heading. ③将在我们学校的演讲厅举行的演讲比赛旨在唤起我们的环保意 识。 The speech contest，________________________________________ _______________________，will be held in the lecture hall of our school.(过去分词短语作定语)  2 aim to do...旨在做……；力求达到…… to teach aimlessly aimed at arousing our awareness of environmental protection 22 •aim n.目的，意图vt.& vi.力求达到；瞄准；(向某方向)努力；目的在于 with the aim of有……的目的 aim at瞄准；目的在于 be aimed at目的是；旨在 •aimless adj.无目标的 aimlessly adv.无目的地 ◎写作素材 be aimed at closing the gap between rich and poor 旨在缩小贫富差距 aim to help the less able in society 目的是帮助社会上能力较弱的人 after several hours of aimless searching在几个小时漫无目的的搜寻后 Part 2　句型 (一)长难句分析 Skilled at putting up shelves and piecing together furniture，she never pays someone else to do a job she can do herself. [结构分析]　skilled at putting up shelves and piecing together furniture是形容词短语作后面句子的主语补足语，表示原因。 [尝试翻译]　______________________________________________ __________________ 她擅长摆放架子和拼接家具，从不付钱让别人做她自己能做的工作。 (二)句型精析 With millions of people likely to take on DIY projects over the coming weeks，new research shows that more than half of people are planning to make the most of the long，warm summer days to get jobs done.随着数百万人可能在未来几周内从事DIY项目，新的研究表明，超过一半的人计划充分利用漫长而温暖的夏日来完成工作。  [句型公式]　句中with millions of people likely to take on DIY projects over the coming weeks是with复合结构作状语。get jobs done相当于have jobs done。 ①With so many famous artists __________ (perform) that day，the exhibition will be a great feast for the eyes.  ②With all the work __________ (finish)，they felt relaxed. ③With so many people __________ (stare) at me，I felt very nervous. ④有很多工作要做，他今晚不得不熬夜。 _______________________，he has to stay up tonight.  to perform finished staring With a lot of work to do with复合结构的形式为“with+宾语+宾语补足语”，这一结构在句中可作状语也可作定语。在这一结构中，作宾语补足语的可以是形容词、副词、介词短语、动词-ing形式、过去分词(短语)、不定式等。 28 ◎写作素材 With an important class meeting to attend，I can’t accompany you to the bookstore.我有一个重要的班会要参加，不能陪你去书店了。 29 Passage 2　阅读理解(2022·浙江1月卷·A) 　　For nearly a decade now，Merebeth has been a self-employed pet transport specialist.Her pet transport job was born of the financial crisis (危机) in the late 2000s.The downturn hit the real estate (房地产) firm where she had worked for ten years as an office manager.The firm went broke and left her looking for a new job.One day，while driving near her home，she saw a dog wandering on the road，clearly lost.She took it home，and her sister in Denver agreed to take it.This was a loving home for sure，but 1，600 miles away.It didn’t take long for Merebeth to decide to drive the dog there herself.It was her first road trip to her new job.  30 Merebeth’s pet delivery service satisfies her wanderlust.It has taken her to every state in the US except Montana，Washington and Oregon，she says proudly.If she wants to visit a new place，she will simply find a pet with transport needs there.She travels in all weathers. She has driven through 55 mph winds in Wyoming，heavy flooding and storms in Alabama and total whiteout conditions in Kansas. 31 This wanderlust is inherited from her father，she says.He moved their family from Canada to California when she was one year old，because he wanted them to explore a new place together.As soon as she graduated from high school she left home to live on Catalina Island off the California coast，away from her parents，where she enjoyed a life of sailing and off-road biking. It turns out that pet transporting pays quite well at about $30，000 per year before tax.She doesn’t work in summer，as it would be unpleasantly hot for the animals in the car，even with air conditioning. As autumn comes，she gets restless—the same old wanderlust returning.It’s a call she must handle alone，though.Merebeth says，“When I’m on the road I’m just in my own world.I’ve always been independent-spirited and I just feel strongly that I must help animals.” 　　[语篇解读]　本文是一篇记叙文。Merebeth失业后成了一名宠物运送员，这份新工作不仅满足了她想要四处旅游的愿望，还为她带来了可观的收入。 21.Why did Merebeth change her job? A.She wanted to work near her home. B.She was tired of working in the office. C.Her sister asked her to move to Denver. D.Her former employer was out of business. 答案：D 解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The firm went broke and left her looking for a new job.”可知，她换工作是因为她原来工作的公司倒闭了，故选D。 21 22 23 22.The word “wanderlust” in paragraph 2 means a desire to_____.  A.make money B.try various jobs C.be close to nature D.travel to different places 答案：D 解析：词义猜测题。根据画线词前的“pet delivery service satisfies her”及画线词后的“taken her to every state in the US...Oregon”可以推知，画线词的含义与去不同的地方的愿望有关，故选D。 21 22 23 23.What can we learn about Merebeth in her new job? A.She has chances to see rare animals. B.She works hard throughout the year. C.She relies on herself the whole time. D.She earns a basic and tax-free salary. 答案：C 21 22 23 解析：细节理解题。文中仅提到Merebeth的新工作是宠物运送，并未提及她有机会见到珍稀动物。故A项表述错误；根据最后一段中的“She doesn’t work in summer...”可知，Merebeth在夏天是不工作的，而非B项所说的全年都在辛苦工作。故B项表述错误；根据最后一段中的“It’s a call she must handle alone”及“I’ve always been independent-spirited”可知，Merebeth一直都是靠自己。故C项表述正确；根据最后一段中的“It turns out that...pays quite well at about $30，000 per year before tax.”可知，在新工作中，Merebeth每年的税前收入非常可观，而非只能挣得不需要缴税的基本收入。故D项表述错误。 21 22 23 Part 1　词汇 (一)词汇识记 1. __________ n.专家；专业人员 2. __________ n.传送；递送；交付；分娩；演讲方式 3. __________ n.洪灾 4. __________ adj.不安的；得不到休息的 5. __________ n.& v.渴望，欲望 specialist delivery flooding restless desire 6.explore vt.探究；探讨；探险→__________ n.探测→__________ n.探险者；勘探者 7.serve v.服务；伺候；服役→__________ n.服务；招待 →__________ n.仆人 8.satisfy v.使满意→__________ adj.令人高兴的，令人满意的 →__________ adj.感到满意的→__________ n.满意 exploration explorer service servant satisfying satisfied satisfaction (二)熟词生义(写出句中黑体词的词性和汉语意思) 1.The downturn hit the real estate firm where she had worked for ten years as an office manager.(hit基本义：v.击打) ____________________________ 2.It’s a call she must handle alone，though.(call基本义：v.打电话；叫，喊) _____________________ v.产生不良影响；打击；危害 n.召唤；使命感 (三)词块积累 1.be born of the financial crisis ______________________ 2.go broke __________ 3.for sure _________________ 4.travel in all weathers _______________________ 5.be inherited from her father ______________ 6.on the road __________ 7.be tired of working in the office ___________________ 8.out of business __________ 9.rely on herself the whole time _________________ 10.earn a basic and tax-free salary _____________________ 产生于经济危机时期 破产 确实；肯定地 风雨无阻地去旅行 遗传自她父亲 在旅途中 厌烦在办公室工作 停业 一直依靠她自己 挣一份基础的免税薪水 Part 2　句型 (一)长难句分析 One day，while driving near her home，she saw a dog wandering on the road，clearly lost. [结构分析]　本句是一个主从复合句。while driving near her home是状语从句的省略，完整的句子应该是while she was driving near her home；saw a dog wandering是see sb./sth. doing sth.“看到某人或某物正在做某事”结构；clearly lost是补充说明dog的。 [尝试翻译]　______________________________________________ _________________________ 一天，当她开车在她家附近时，她看到一只狗在路上徘徊，显然是迷路了。 (二)句型精析 It didn’t take long for Merebeth to decide to drive the dog there herself.没过多久，梅蕾碧丝就决定自己开车把狗送到那里。  [句型公式]　句中的it是形式主语，不定式短语是真正的主语。 ①I’m sure it is a good chance __________ (perform) your favorite music.  ②It is no use __________ (try) to solve the problem by force. ③Though it’s nice __________ you to put him up，it’s impossible __________ him to sleep on such a small bed. to perform trying of for ④你在考试中犯了那么多错误，真是太粗心了。 _________________________ so many mistakes in the exam.  ⑤情况变了，所以你有必要制订一个新计划。 Circumstances have changed so _____________________ to make a new plan.  It is careless of you to make it is necessary for you it作形式主语的常见句型还有： It is+adj.+of/for sb.to do sth. It is+adj./n.+that从句 It is+名词短语+to do sth. It is no good/use doing sth.做某事是没有好处/用的。 [名师点津]　在“It is+adj.+of/for sb.to do sth.”中，for前面通常是difficult、necessary、important、easy等与事物的特征有关的形容词；而of前面常是kind、nice、good、stupid、silly、careful、careless等与人的特征有关的形容词。 ◎写作素材 Is it a good idea for you to register to show your talent?对你来说报名参赛来展示才能岂不是个好主意? Passage 3　阅读七选五(2020·新高考全国Ⅰ卷) 　　[语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。有些人是天生的演说家，但大多数人能成为有影响力的演说家，是因为他们受过训练。文章就如何成为一名出色的演说家给出了一些建议。 　　Some individuals are born with a gift for public speaking. 　16　 Do you want to be a good public speaker? Here are some principles you must master.  A.Do the opposite. B.You want to be an effective public speaker. C.You don’t need to apologize for a minor slip.  D.When it comes to public speaking，less is usually more. E.The objective of most speeches is to benefit the audience. F.Take the fear out of public speaking by focusing on your listeners. G.However，the majority of people are effective speakers because they train to be. 16.答案：G 解析：上句提到“一些人生来就有公开演讲的天赋”，与此承接的语意应该是另一些人则要经过后天培训，故选G项“然而，大多数人能成为有影响力的演说家，是因为他们受过训练”。G项中的“the majority of people (大多数人)”对应上句的“Some individuals (一些人)”，“train to be (训练使然)”对应上句的“are born with (与生俱来)”。 People want to listen to someone who is interesting，relaxed and comfortable.Too often，when you stand up to give a speech，you focus on the “public” at the expense of the “speaking.” 　17　 Focus on the speaking.Talk directly to your audience，be yourself and make a connection.   A.Do the opposite. B.You want to be an effective public speaker. C.You don’t need to apologize for a minor slip.  D.When it comes to public speaking，less is usually more. E.The objective of most speeches is to benefit the audience. F.Take the fear out of public speaking by focusing on your listeners. G.However，the majority of people are effective speakers because they train to be. 17.答案：A 解析：上文说的是“当你站在公众面前演讲时，大多数情况下你关注的是‘公众’，却牺牲了‘演讲’”。言外之意，作者认为演讲者应关注演讲本身而不是公众，故选A项“反过来做”。F选项虽然也提到要关注“听众”，但是选项中的the fear在上文中没有提到，因此排除。 Even the most successful public speaker will make mistakes.Yet，the only one who cares about any mistake is the one who is speaking. People’s attention wanders constantly.In fact，most people only absorb about 20 percent of a speaker’s message.So，don’t stop speaking when you make a mistake unless it’s a truly serious one. 　18　_ A.Do the opposite. B.You want to be an effective public speaker. C.You don’t need to apologize for a minor slip.  D.When it comes to public speaking，less is usually more. E.The objective of most speeches is to benefit the audience. F.Take the fear out of public speaking by focusing on your listeners. G.However，the majority of people are effective speakers because they train to be. 18.答案：C 解析：上文说的是“即使最成功的演说家也会犯错……所以，除非错误非常严重，否则犯了错也不要停止演讲”。由此可推断，设空处应该与“犯错”有关，故选C项“你没有必要为小失误道歉”。a minor slip (小错误)与上文的a mistake为同义替换。 Your goal is not to be a perfect public speaker. 　19　 And like everything else in life，that takes practice.Remember，even world champion athletes practice their skills on a consistent basis.  A.Do the opposite. B.You want to be an effective public speaker. C.You don’t need to apologize for a minor slip.  D.When it comes to public speaking，less is usually more. E.The objective of most speeches is to benefit the audience. F.Take the fear out of public speaking by focusing on your listeners. G.However，the majority of people are effective speakers because they train to be. 19.答案：B 解析：由上一句“你的目标不是成为一名完美的演说家”可以锁定B、E两项。但下文“就像生活中的其他一切事情一样，这需要练习”中有关键词that，因此，空格处应提及that指代的内容，故选B项“你想成为一名有影响力的演说家”，这是需要加以练习的。 　20　 It’s rare to hear someone say，“I wish that speaker had spoken longer.” On the other hand，you probably can’t count the times that you’ve thought，“I’m glad that talk is over.It seemed to go on forever!” So surprise your audience.Always make your presentation just a bit shorter than anticipated.It’s better to leave your listeners wishing for more than shifting restlessly in their seats waiting for your speech finally to end.  A.Do the opposite. B.You want to be an effective public speaker. C.You don’t need to apologize for a minor slip.  D.When it comes to public speaking，less is usually more. E.The objective of most speeches is to benefit the audience. F.Take the fear out of public speaking by focusing on your listeners. G.However，the majority of people are effective speakers because they train to be. 20.答案：D 解析：空后提到“很少听到有人会说：‘我希望演讲者能讲得更久一些。’”另外，本段还给出了建议“总是让你的演讲比预期的稍短一点”，由此可知，位于本段段首的空格处应与缩短演讲时间有关。D项“说到公开演讲，通常越少就是越多”符合段落主题。这里的less指的是less time，more指的是more benefits或more gains。 Part 1　词汇 (一)词汇识记 1. __________ n.个人；与众不同的人 adj.单独的；个别的 2. __________ v.精通；控制 n.主人；大师；硕士 3. __________ adv.始终；一直；持续不断地 4. __________ adj.较小的；次要的；未成年的 v.辅修 5. __________ n.实践；练习；惯例 v.练习；实习；实行 6. __________ v.预料；预期 individual master constantly minor practice anticipate 7. __________ n.大多数 8. __________ v.滑倒 n.差错；滑倒；纸条 9. __________ v.转移；换(挡)；快速移动；改变观点 n.转移；改变；轮班 10. __________ adv.无休止地；不安地；慌张地 11. __________ v.走神；漫游 n.游荡；闲逛 12.consist vi.由……组成；在于→__________ adj.一贯的，一致的 13.relax v.使放松→__________ n.放松； 松弛→__________ adj.轻 松的→__________ adj.使人放松的 14.rare adj.稀罕的；稀有的；珍贵的→______ adv.罕见地；稀少地 majority slip shift restlessly wander consistent relaxation relaxed relaxing rarely (二)熟词生义(写出句中黑体词的词性和汉语意思) 　In fact，most people only absorb about 20 percent of a speaker’s message.(absorb基本义：v.吸收) __________ v.理解 (三)词块积累 1.wish for more _________________ 2.at the expense of __________________________________________ 3.on a consistent basis __________ 想要得到更多 以……为代价；以牺牲……的利益为代价 一贯地 (四)词汇精研 1 majority n.大多数 ①The treatment is not available in the vast __________ (major) of hospitals. ②A large percentage of students choose not to major _______ physics because it is too difficult. ③(普通表达)When it comes to education，most people believe that it is a lifetime study.

[结构分析]　本句的主句是一个主系表结构的句子，主语the only one被第一个who引导的定语从句修饰，表语the one被第二个who引导的定语从句修饰。 [尝试翻译]　____________________________________________ 然而，唯一在乎任何失误的人就是正在演讲的人。 2.It’s better to leave your listeners wishing for more than shifting restlessly in their seats waiting for your speech finally to end. [结构分析]　本句是it’s better to do句型，意为“最好做某事”；leave+宾语+v.-ing形式短语意为“使……一直做某事”；to end“结束；终止”。 [尝试翻译]　______________________________________________ _____________________________ 最好让你的听众有更多的期盼，而不是在座位上坐立不安地等待你的演讲结束。 77 3.You don’t need to apologize for a minor slip. [结构分析]　这是一个简单句。don’t need to等于needn’t，意为“没必要”； a minor slip意为“小疏漏，小错误”。 [尝试翻译]　____________________________ 你不必为犯了小错误道歉。 78 (二)句型精析 I wish that speaker had spoken longer.我希望那个发言者说得长一点。  [句型公式]　wish后的宾语从句用虚拟语气，时态根据需要用过去的某种时态。 79 ①I wish I __________ (be) not so busy. ②She wished she _____________ (stay) at home.  ③I wish you _____________ go with us tomorrow. ④This watch has gone wrong.

How I wish I _____________ so much time playing!  were had stayed would/could had bought hadn’t wasted 动词wish后接宾语从句时，从句谓语要用虚拟语气。若要表示与现在事实相反的愿望，从句谓语用一般过去时；若表示与过去事实相反的愿望，从句谓语用过去完成时；若表示将来没有把握或不太可能实现的愿望，用would/could+动词原形。 ◎写作素材 How I wish we students had more free time to relax ourselves! 我多么希望我们学生有更多的自由时间来放松自己! 基础知识达标 Ⅰ.单句语法填空 1.I did not get the __________ (impress) that they were unhappy about the situation. 2.Obviously，his __________ (survive) depends on his perseverance to a degree. 3.Fewer people desire __________ (live) in the north of the country.  4.You can rely on __________ that I can finish the work on time. impression survival to live it 5.The results are entirely _________ (consist) with our earlier research. 6.The majority of students __________ (be) in favour of the suggestion that they go on a picnic the next day. 7.In fact，he inspires me to major __________ English in college，to be a bridge between China and the world. 8.I wish I __________ (know) how to program the new computer. consistent were in knew Ⅱ.完成句子 1.What a pity you can’t go to the party.

In your grandparents’ time，there was the 　2　 of doing the same job from graduation until retirement. How times have changed! Most people now have no intention of following in their parents’ footsteps or even 　3　 at one job for very long.  1 2 3 4 5 6 8 9 10 7 In fact，planning to work in the same field or industry for your entire working life just isn’t 　4　 anymore. One reason for this is technology. The skills you have now are unlikely to remain relevant and be enough to 　5　 you through your entire career. In fact，they will probably be out of date very soon. And then what will you do? Work hard? Win the lottery? Hope for the best? You might be lucky. These strategies might bring you a nice，comfortable life. But most of us today have to look beyond the little box called “　6　”.  1 2 3 4 5 6 8 9 10 7 You might be able to keep your job if you finish what you are asked to do，but this is 　7　 a recipe for great career success.

For now，she adds，this is largely uncharted territory. But she’s looking to build a path. 　　[语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。机器人专家Elina Jatel从马与人的关系中获得研发自主机器人的灵感。文章主要介绍了其灵感来源以及未来的重点研究方向。 1.What drew Elina Jatel’s attention to horses?(　　) A.Horses’ amazing performance. B.Long history of horse training. C.Horse-human interdependence. D.Her horse-riding experience. 1 2 3 4 A 解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Such sensible and highly trained horses made Elina Jatel，a computer scientist and roboticist，think of robots...She was drawn to learning how such relationships form and if it could help improve human-robot interactions.”可知，马的惊人表现吸引了Elina Jatel对马的注意。故选A。 2.What are the robots of the highest autonomy designed to do?(　　) A.To act like real horses. B.To show respect for humans. C.To follow instructions from humans. D.To make independent and sensible decisions. 1 2 3 4 D 解析：细节理解题。 根据第三段中的“The goal is to program robots that will respond predictably to inputs from people.But like horses，autonomous robots also should be able to respond on their own as conditions change.”可知，其目标是编程机器人，使其能够对人类的输入作出可预测的反应。但像马一样，自主机器人也应该能够在条件变化时自行作出反应。下文关于自动驾驶汽车的例子也说明了这一点。由此可知，最高自主性的机器人被设计作出独立而明智的决定。 1 2 3 4 3.What will Jatel’s future research most probably focus on?(　　) A.The limitations of robots. B.Trust between robots and humans. C.The path toward higher robot efficiency. D.Similarities between horses and robots. 1 2 3 4 B 解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“What would it mean for robots and people to respect and trust each other? For now，she adds，this is largely uncharted territory.But she’s looking to build a path.(机器人和人类相互尊重和信任意味着什么?她认为目前这在很大程度上是一个未知领域，她想要开辟一条道路)”可知，Jatel未来的研究重点是机器人和人类之间的信任。故选B。 1 2 3 4 4.What can be a suitable title for the text?(　　) A.History of Human-Horse Relationship B.Secrets of Human-Animal Interactions C.The Role of Trust in Human-Robot Partnerships D.Horses as the Inspiration for Autonomous Robots 1 2 3 4 D 解析：标题归纳题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中的“Such sensible and highly trained horses made Elina Jatel，a computer scientist and roboticist，think of robots.”可知，机器人专家从马与人类的关系中得到研发自主机器人的灵感，接下来重点介绍了其灵感来源以及未来的研究重点等。由此可知，D项“马作为自主机器人的灵感来源”最适合作为文章标题。故选D。 1 2 3 4 B 　　(2024·河北唐山摸底演练)Years ago，I interviewed James Patterson，an advertising manager，about the latest campaign.But all he wanted to talk about was fiction writing.“I hope to be a writer.It is always in my head，” he said. 　　I remember thinking：Sure，you and everybody else. 　　A decade or so later，however，I was surprised to see James on TV，holding up his new book. 　　Mr.Patterson’s ability to see himself as a writer illustrates a concept known as “possible selves”.The term，coined in 1986 by the social psychologists Hazel Markus and Paula Nurius，grew out of research on self-concept.While self-concepts—“I am a kind person” or “I am a good parent”—are rooted in the present，the researchers found people are also informed by ideas about what they might become and how they might change. 　　These possible selves，both positive and negative，are closely related to motivation.A violin student who envisions life as a professional musician might be motivated to practice.A person whose feared possible self is an alcoholic may become a non-drinker.In a small study，when young adults were encouraged to envision themselves as either regular exercisers (hoped-for selves) or inactive (feared selves)，both groups exercised more in the weeks afterward. 　　A possible self can take you beyond daydreams，which are often not necessarily grounded in reality.It can come to fruition if you build a bridge from your “now” self to the possible self.“If you’re regularly dreaming of a different career，enroll in a course，shadow someone，take up a hobby or a side job.Making the transition requires you to say ‘now，today，this week，these are the steps I can actually take to attain the goal’，” said Daphna Oyserman，a psychology professor at the University of Southern California. 　　But don’t quit your job just yet.An analysis of career-transition research concluded that successful reinventions require adjustments and re-evaluations as you go.Mr.Patterson，for example，wrote almost a dozen books while still at his ad agency； he found his style only after many tries. 　　[语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“可能的自我”这一概念对个人发展的影响。 5 6 7 8 5.Why does the author mention the interview?(　　) A.To show his expectation. B.To explain his surprise. C.To display Patterson’s ability. D.To introduce a concept. D 解析：推理判断题。根据前四段尤其是第四段第一句可知，作者在开头提到这个采访是为了引出“可能的自我”这个概念。故选D。 6.What can we learn about the idea of “possible selves”?(　　) A.It involves three aspects. B.It allows for personal growth. C.It ensures one a promising future. D.It includes the idea of self-concept. 5 6 7 8 B 解析：推理判断题。通读第五、六段可推知，“可能的自我”这个概念会让自己更有动力，发展自己，实现个人成长。故选B。 7.What does professor Daphna intend to express?(　　) A.The idea of “now” self. B.The wish for the career transition. C.The importance of concrete action. D.The necessity of expert-consulting. 5 6 7 8 C 解析：细节理解题。根据第六段最后一句可知，Daphna教授想要强调的是为了实现目标而采取具体行动的重要性。故选C。 127 8.What is probably talked about in the following paragraph?(　　) A.Different writing styles. B.Multiple research methods. C.Patterson’s success in his advertising business. D.The exploration and adaptation of job transition. 5 6 7 8 D 解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段尤其是第一、二句可知，职业转型需要在实践中调整与评估。由此可推知，文章在下一段中可能会讨论关于工作转换的探索与适应。故选D。 Ⅱ.阅读七选五(每小题2.5分，共12.5分) 　　[语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了传统的成功衡量标准通常优先考虑学业成就和特定工作的知识，但最近的研究表明，情商可能比单独的智商更能预测成功和幸福感。 129 　　(2024·江西南昌一模)Traditional measures of success often prioritize academic achievements and job-specific knowledge，but recent research has shown that emotional intelligence may be a better predictor of success and well-being than IQ alone.1(　　) A.Emotional intelligence helps cope with stress. B.Social awareness is another crucial aspect of EQ. C.Emotional intelligence goes beyond the office walls. D.By understanding others’ emotions，you can build strong bonds. E.It is now recognized as a vital factor in personal and professional growth. F.You create a positive work environment where ideas flow freely if changes take place. G.By recognizing its importance，we can make wiser decisions and lead more satisfying lives. 1.答案：E 解析：上文谈到情商可能比单独的智商更能预测成功和幸福感，此处也应是对情商的肯定，故E项“它现在被认为是个人和职业发展的重要因素”符合语境，其中的it指的是空前的emotional intelligence。 　　Picture this：you’re a leader with high EQ.Your team looks up to you because you inspire them，drive productivity and make decisions that take everyone’s emotions into account.You find win-win solutions that keep the team united if conflicts arise.2(　　)In a world that values cooperation and innovation，emotional intelligence is a must-have skill.  A.Emotional intelligence helps cope with stress. B.Social awareness is another crucial aspect of EQ. C.Emotional intelligence goes beyond the office walls. D.By understanding others’ emotions，you can build strong bonds. E.It is now recognized as a vital factor in personal and professional growth. F.You create a positive work environment where ideas flow freely if changes take place. G.By recognizing its importance，we can make wiser decisions and lead more satisfying lives. 2.答案：F 解析：空前描述了假设你是高情商领导者的情况，此处也应讲在这种情况下你高情商的表现力，故F项“你创造了一个积极的工作环境，如果发生变化，想法可以自由流动”符合语境。 　　Consider how EQ can supercharge your career.First：self-awareness.It’s like having a spotlight on your emotions，strengths and weaknesses.When you truly understand yourself，you can make better decisions and set meaningful goals.3(　　)It’s like having empathy radar (共情雷达).When you’re aware of others’ emotions and perspectives，you can build better relationships，collaborate effectively，and be a better team player.  A.Emotional intelligence helps cope with stress. B.Social awareness is another crucial aspect of EQ. C.Emotional intelligence goes beyond the office walls. D.By understanding others’ emotions，you can build strong bonds. E.It is now recognized as a vital factor in personal and professional growth. F.You create a positive work environment where ideas flow freely if changes take place. G.By recognizing its importance，we can make wiser decisions and lead more satisfying lives. 3.答案：B 解析：上文谈到情商能够为你的事业助力，首先谈到“自我意识”，故可推测此处可能会涉及第二个方面，再结合空后的“这就像有一个共情雷达。当你了解他人的情绪和观点时，你可以建立更好的关系、有效协作并且成为一个更好的团队队员”可知，另一个方面应是social awareness“社会意识”，故选B。 　　4(　　)EQ can have a huge impact on our personal lives as well.In personal relationships，it’s a key to deeper connections.By understanding others’ emotions，you build strong bonds and communicate effectively.With EQ，you engage in more self-reflection，continuous learning，and the adaptability to grow as an individual.  A.Emotional intelligence helps cope with stress. B.Social awareness is another crucial aspect of EQ. C.Emotional intelligence goes beyond the office walls. D.By understanding others’ emotions，you can build strong bonds. E.It is now recognized as a vital factor in personal and professional growth. F.You create a positive work environment where ideas flow freely if changes take place. G.By recognizing its importance，we can make wiser decisions and lead more satisfying lives. 4.答案：C 解析：段落主旨句。本段讲到，情商对我们的个人生活也有很大影响。在个人关系中，情商对更深入的联系很重要。通过了解他人的情绪，你可以建立牢固的联系并有效沟通。故C项“情商超越了办公室的围墙”可概括本段内容。 　　It’s time to shift our perspective and embrace emotional intelligence as a critical component of success.5(　　) Go ahead and release our full potential.  A.Emotional intelligence helps cope with stress. B.Social awareness is another crucial aspect of EQ. C.Emotional intelligence goes beyond the office walls. D.By understanding others’ emotions，you can build strong bonds. E.It is now recognized as a vital factor in personal and professional growth. F.You create a positive work environment where ideas flow freely if changes take place. G.By recognizing its importance，we can make wiser decisions and lead more satisfying lives. 5.答案：G 解析：本段谈到是时候改变我们的观点，将情商视为成功的关键组成部分了，故G项“通过意识到它的重要性，我们可以作出更明智的决定并过上更令人满意的生活”符合语境，承接上文，说明“将情商视为成功的关键组成部分”会带来的积极结果。 Ⅲ.语法填空(每小题1.5分，共15分) 　　As computing power increases and algorithms (运算法则) become 1 ________________ (complicated) and even cleverer，AI develops at a very rapid pace.You can better enjoy your life by pressing a button to send a robot to do all the work for you.Some essential abilities 2 ________ (learn) from experience，adjust to new inputs and perform tasks like humans are what AI is expected to gain.The term AI 3______ ________ (coin) in the mid-1950s.That Deep Blue beat the world chess champion Garry Kasparov in 1997 was 4 _____ breakthrough in AI.  more complicated to learn was coined a 　　Nowadays，AI is being applied in many 5 __________ (field)，such as finance，health care and so on.With machines like AlphaGo now capable 6 __________thinking and learning from their mistakes，we are getting closer to the dividing line between humans and machines.  fields of 　　In the future，it could 7 _____________ (significant) reduce the burden of long-lasting disease，8 __________ (allow) people to live healthier lives for longer lifespan.However，an increasing number of concerns about AI arise，9 __________ demand our attention.We need to make sure that we will not fall victim to AI.We may still think it would be fantastic to relax all day and allow automatic machines to do all the work for us.But the key is that we should not be too 10 ________ (greed). significantly allowing which greedy 二次精读——溯原文，积语料，提素养 A篇 核心单词 Para.1：wounded adj.受伤的，负伤的 Para.3：specific adj.明确的，具体的；特定的 Para.5：uncharted adj.无人涉足的，陌生的，人迹罕至的 territory n.领域；领土，领地 派生词汇 Para.1：autonomy n.自主，自主权→autonomous adj.有自主权的，自主的 interaction n.交流；相互影响→interact v.交流，沟通，合作 Para.3：similarity n.相似性，类似性→similar adj.相像的，相似的 predictably adv.可预见地→predict v.预言，预告，预报→predictable adj.可预测的，可预见的 Para.5：limitation n.限制；限度；局限→limit n.限度，限制 v.限制，限定 熟词生义 Para.1：draw常用义：v.画，描绘，描画　文章义：v.吸引，招引，使感兴趣 核心短语 Para.2：engage sb.in sth.使……参与……，使……从事…… B 篇 核心单词 Para.4：illustrate v.阐明，证实 Para.5：motivation n.动机 envision v.展望，想象 核心短语 Para.5：be related to与……有关 长难句 分析 While self-concepts —“I am a kind person” or “I am a good parent”—are rooted in the present，the researchers found people are also informed by ideas about what they might become and how they might change.(Para.4) 长难句 分析 分析：本句是一个主从复合句。while引导让步状语从句；found后为省略了that的宾语从句；what和how均引导宾语从句。 译文：虽然自我概念——“我是一个好人”或“我是一个好父亲/母亲”——根植于当下，但研究人员发现，人们也会被自己可能成为什么样的人以及可能如何改变的想法所影响。 写作规范练(二) Ⅰ.应用文写作——建议信(满分15分) 　　(2024·河南适应性测试)假如你是李华，你校计划举行以“Fly Your Dream”为主题的英语周活动，现就活动的内容、形式征集建议，请你给负责本次活动的外教Chris写一封信，提出你的想法。 注意：写作词数应为80个左右。 Dear Chris， ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours， Li Hua I’m Li Hua，a senior 3 student in our school.I feel greatly privileged and excited to show my opinions on the approaching activity week with the theme of “Fly Your Dream”.

In the school parking lot stood Coach McDonald and me，a loser in the 160-pound weight class. Coach McDonald’s hands firmly grasped my shoulders，his eyes looking through my uncertainty. “Billy，” his voice cut through the uneasy quiet. “The potential for you to become an excellent wrestler exists. It takes time，” he argued. “Don’t you see? I lost... again. Ten matches. Never won.” Frustration struck me as I stepped away from Coach McDonald. Pulling my cell phone from my equipment bag，I said definitively，“I need to call my mom. She’ll pick me up.” I just wanted to get away as soon as possible and flung myself into Mom’s arms. She had always been my best friend and supporter. While waiting for her to answer my call，the thought of quitting the sport rumbled in my mind. I was so frustrated at that time that I ignored the joy and satisfaction wrestling had brought to me. Coach McDonald closed in. “Billy，look at me，” he said. “Pound for pound，you’re the strongest and most flexible (灵活的) kid on the team. That’s a winning combination. Master the techniques in practice，and victory will be yours，I promise.” I coughed and pulled my sweaty shirt off my chest. “When，Coach?” With a knowing look，Coach said，“Do you know how long it took me to win my first match?” He stood up straight，squinting (斜视) like he was recalling a tough time. “During my first year，I lost every match. I ended the season 0-11. I didn’t lose at all in the following two years，including two state championships. Billy，that can be you someday. But it’ll never happen if you quit.” In that silent moment，I felt a slight pain within me，but it was weak，not strong enough to change my mind. Coach cleared his throat，glancing at his watch. “Well，I’m hungry.” “And my mom’s here，” I said. Then I jumped into her car. 注意：续写词数应为150个左右。 In the car，I told her I lost again and I was hesitating about quitting the team.____________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Mom remained silent for a full minute，tightening her grip on the steering wheel. Finally，she spoke in a measured tone，“Billy，quitting is not a sign of weakness. Winning or losing doesn’t define you. What matters is whether you’re pursuing something that brings you joy.” Her words cleared up the self-doubt that had clouded my judgement and reignited a spark of courage within me. I recalled why I had learned to wrestle in the first place. “Thanks，Mom. I know what I should do.” The next day，I walked into the training field again.___________ _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Coach McDonald was already there.He smiled when he saw me with a knowing look. “Back for more，Billy?” he said，clapping me on the back. I nodded，making up my mind to give it another shot. As I tied my shoes and prepared for the practice，I felt a surge of determination washing over me. Maybe Coach was right. Maybe I do have what it takes to be a champion. And if not，at least I am pursuing something that brings me joy and a sense of purpose.  $$
