B.He dreamed of being an engineer. C.He always annoyed his parents. D.He was addicted to playing with toys. 1 2 3 4 A 解析:推理判断题。根据第一段中的“When Param Jaggi was five years old,he had a passion to take things apart to see what was inside.”和“he shifted from breaking things to building things”可知,Jaggi很喜欢拆卸、组装东西,所以他应该是一个天性好奇的人。故选A。 1 2 3 4 2.Which of the following can best replace the underlined part “came around” in paragraph 2?(　　) A.Won out. B.Changed their minds. C.Walked around. D.Paid a visit. B 解析:词义猜测题。根据第一段中的“made his parents not too pleased”和画线词前面的“Jaggi’s parents initially thought his experiments were just a boyhood fancy”可知,起初Jaggi的父母对他的实验并不开心,并认为他的实验不过是少年转瞬即逝的爱好罢了;再根据画线词后面的“started supporting his dreams”可知,Jaggi的父母的态度发生了变化。故选B。 1 2 3 4 3.What drove Jaggi to develop affordable and user-friendly products? (　　) A.His love for greener devices. B.His pursuit of an academic career. C.His desire to make a difference. D.His hope to boost green industry.

B.To empower young inventors. C.To provide eco-themed courses. D.To offer environmentalists funds. B 解析:细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“which will encourage young students...involved in innovation and invention”可知,Jaggi推出在线平台是为了鼓励对科学技术感兴趣的年轻学生积极参与创新和发明。故选B。empower“授权,给(某人)……的权力”。 B 　　(2024·广东广州综合测试一)There’s a classic short story in which a young man travels years ahead and meets his future self. Narratives like this have always been related to science fiction.But what if you could meet your future self? 　　I’m a psychologist and professor.My research over the past 15 years isn’t far from this theme.I’ve largely focused on how people think about and relate to their future selves,and explored the reasons why we have such a hard time making long-term decisions. In my research,I’ve learnt that we often imagine our future selves like strangers,which can impede us in making long-term choices.One way to bridge the emotional gap is to think of future selves in more concrete and vivid ways,like writing letters to and from one’s future self,which can strengthen the connection between current and future selves. 　　Admittedly,having people engage in an imagined conversation is a far cry from actually meeting one’s future self.But it’s believed that far richer interactions may happen in the near future through artificial intelligence (AI).It wouldn’t be predicting exactly what choices you’d make.It’d be more about showing your potential,based on the lives of people similar to you: not just one possible life for you,but rather the most possible life path for you.Such interactions could offer valuable insights into our potential future selves.  　　So,to return to my original question:if you could time-travel to meet your future self,what aspects of your life would you want to know more about? I realized,through thorough reflections,that the most powerful questions would be ones that helped me make better choices today—questions exploring personal growth,regrets and unfulfilled actions. 　　Actually,you don’t need to wait for time travel or advanced AI for answers that you can act on.Through my research,I’ve learnt that simply taking a bit of time to picture this meeting can help you make better choices now.All you need is a little imagination,and the willingness to put yourself in the shoes of a person you currently treat as a stranger. 　　[语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。作者针对遇见未来的自己的相关主题进行了研究,认为遇到未来的自己时要问的问题应是关于探索个人的成长、遗憾和未实现的行动的问题,并指出我们不必等待时间旅行或先进的人工智能来获得答案,花点时间想象下与未来的自己见面的场景便可帮助我们现在作出更好的选择。 5 6 7 8 5.Why is it difficult for people to make long-term decisions according to the author?(　　) A.Technology for time travel is not available. B.Strangers cannot help with decision-making. C.Writing letters to one’s future self is impractical. D.People find it hard to connect with their distant selves. D 5 6 7 8 解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中的“In my research...future selves like strangers...long-term choices (在我的研究中,我了解到我们经常把未来的自己想象成陌生人,这会阻碍我们做出长期的选择)”以及下文给出的和未来的自己建立联系的建议可知,人们难以作出长期的决定是因为不容易和遥远的自己建立良好关系,故选D。 5 6 7 8 6.What does the underlined phrase “a far cry from” mean in paragraph 3?(　　) A.Contradictory to. B.Very different from. C.Not as convenient as. D.Less popular than. B 解析:词义猜测题。根据下文中的“But it’s believed that far richer interactions...through artificial intelligence(AI).(但人们相信,在不久的将来,通过人工智能可能会发生更丰富的互动)”可知,让人们进行想象中的对话与真正见到未来的自己相去甚远,也就是说想象的与现实的十分不同,故a far cry from与very different from同义。 5 6 7 8 7.Which question would the author most likely ask his future self? (　　) A.Why hasn’t my hard work ever paid off? B.What can AI do to help people become better persons? C.If given the chance,what would you have done differently? D.How can I succeed without going through all the difficulties in life? C 5 6 7 8 解析:推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句中的“the most powerful questions would be ones...questions exploring personal growth, regrets and unfulfilled actions”可知,作者意识到,最有力的问题将是那些帮助自己今天作出更好的选择的问题,也就是探索个人成长、遗憾和未实现的行动的问题。故C项最有可能是作者会问的问题。 5 6 7 8 8.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?(　　) A.Time Travel:What If You Met Your Future Self? B.My Research:How Do People View Their Future Selves? C.Emotional Gap:Why Can’t We Talk with Our Future Selves? D.Artificial Intelligence:Is It Possible to Meet Your Future Self? A 解析:标题归纳题。结合全文内容可知,本文开头由“一个经典短篇小说讲述一个年轻人穿越多年,遇见未来的自己”引出话题——如果你能遇见未来的自己会怎么样?故A项最适合作为本文的标题。 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。 在学习中,“集中精力”说起来容易做起来难。如何才能养成不分心的习惯呢?文章分别从列出待办事项、冥想、倾听、阅读不易理解的作品四个方面给出了合理的建议。 　　(2024·辽宁沈阳质量监测一) When it comes to studying, most of us bank on being able to focus on our subject like a shooter focusing on his target. It is when we actually sit down to study that our minds begin to slip away. This is because focus is like a muscle. Unless you build it, you’ll be distracted by everything! 1(　　)  A.You can cross things out, one by one. B.Doing it isn’t supposed to be necessary. C.It takes effort, but the results are well worth it. D.One simple practice is to focus on your breathing. E.Let’s see what you can do to build your focus power. F.You’ll be physically strong if you can power up your focus. G.It’s important to do your listening actively and single-mindedly. 解析:空处位于首段的段尾,应是承上启下的关键句。根据空前提到“集中精力就像一块肌肉,除非你锻炼它,否则你会被每一件事分散注意力”和下文提到的四个建议可知,E项“让我们看看你能做些什么来建立你的专注力”承上启下,符合语境。 1.答案:E ·Make a to-do list Sometimes the simple act of writing down everything that’s on your plate makes it more manageable. You get it out of your working memory, so it’s no longer part of the free-floating anxiety cloud around you.2(　　) Once it’s out of your head, it won’t distract you.  A.You can cross things out, one by one. B.Doing it isn’t supposed to be necessary. C.It takes effort, but the results are well worth it. D.One simple practice is to focus on your breathing. E.Let’s see what you can do to build your focus power. F.You’ll be physically strong if you can power up your focus. G.It’s important to do your listening actively and single-mindedly. 解析:根据空前提到的“有时,把你手头的所有事情都写下来的简单行为会让它更容易被管理”和空后“一旦它从你的脑海中消失,它就不会分散你的注意力了”可推知,空处内容应与所列的待办事项有关。因此,A项“你可以把事情一件一件地划掉”符合语境。 2.答案:A ·Meditate (冥想) 3(　　) Just breathe in, breathe out. Try this for five to fifteen minutes each day. As you get into this practice, most of you find your minds are in fact an incredibly noisy and distracting place. Loads of ideas are always popping up. This is normal, though. The real value is every time you notice that your mind wanders, you can bring your attention back.  A.You can cross things out, one by one. B.Doing it isn’t supposed to be necessary. C.It takes effort, but the results are well worth it. D.One simple practice is to focus on your breathing. E.Let’s see what you can do to build your focus power. F.You’ll be physically strong if you can power up your focus. G.It’s important to do your listening actively and single-mindedly. 3.答案:D 解析:根据小标题Meditate和空后“仅仅是吸气呼气”可推知,空处内容应说冥想的其中一个方法是专注于你的呼吸。故选D。 ·Listen Focused listening is a life skill, one that can be applied in many areas.4(　　) When you do this, you’ll discover that deep listening is HARD WORK and requires brainpower.  A.You can cross things out, one by one. B.Doing it isn’t supposed to be necessary. C.It takes effort, but the results are well worth it. D.One simple practice is to focus on your breathing. E.Let’s see what you can do to build your focus power. F.You’ll be physically strong if you can power up your focus. G.It’s important to do your listening actively and single-mindedly. 4.答案:G 解析:根据小标题“听”和空后“当你这样做的时候,你会发现深度倾听是一项艰巨的工作,需要脑力”可推知,空处内容应与良好的倾听有关。故选G项“积极而专注地倾听是重要的”。空后的“this”与G项描述的行为相对应。 ·Read difficult works Read long-form pieces of work at a slow, deliberate pace. Reading difficult material successfully requires real concentration and determination, and your willpower will grow accordingly. Focus is a skill you can nurture in yourself.5(　　) The more you work on it, the more focused you will stay.  A.You can cross things out, one by one. B.Doing it isn’t supposed to be necessary. C.It takes effort, but the results are well worth it. D.One simple practice is to focus on your breathing. E.Let’s see what you can do to build your focus power. F.You’ll be physically strong if you can power up your focus. G.It’s important to do your listening actively and single-mindedly. 5.答案:C 解析:空前讲集中精力是你自己可以培养的一项技能,再根据空后内容“你做得越多,你就越专注”可推知,C项“这需要努力,但结果是很值得的”承上启下,符合语境。 Ⅲ.语法填空(每小题1.5分,共15分) 　　[语篇解读]　文章主要讲述了赫斯维克工作室在西萨塞克斯郡的伍尔贝丁花园设计了一座动态温室,展示丝绸之路对英格兰花园的影响。 　　(2024·新课标Ⅰ卷)Heatherwick Studio recently built a greenhouse at the edge of the National Trust’s Woolbeding Gardens.

My colleague and I were co-signing an emergency financial aid check for a student at First Nations University of Canada in Regina, then he left for the day. As I was packing up, I noticed he had left his laptop bag there. “Shoot,” he said when I called him. “I’m already home.” “I can bring it to you,” I assured him. It was just past 4:30 p.m. The snow wasn’t supposed to start until later. It took me about 15 minutes to get to my colleague’s house, where I dropped off the laptop case and got right back on the road. Then suddenly the snow started—and it was coming down fast. Within minutes I was in a whiteout. The road soon switched from pavement to gravel (碎石),forcing me to slow down. The windows were fogging up and getting covered with snow. It was extremely cold outside. I didn’t have a clue where I was or even which side of the road I was on. I kept the car running to stay warm and called 911, but they said nobody was coming to get me until morning at the earliest. It was now about 6 p.m. and dark. I stopped the car and texted my colleague whose laptop bag I had just returned. But he had an idea. “Pin your location and send it to me,” he said. I did, and a few minutes later he texted me back a screenshot of the satellite view of where I was. We figured out that I was on a road called Bouvier Lane, in between two farms. It was now 6:30 p.m.We posted this new information to our community group, pleading (恳求) for anyone who knew who lived on the farms to help me get rescued. Soon enough, though, people started chiming in (发表评论) on my post. They knew the farmer who lived there! I got a message from someone who was going to put me in touch with him. 注意:续写词数应为150个左右。 At 8 p.m., my cell phone rang.____________________________ ________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________ By 5:30 the next morning, walking out of the house, I found two people on the driveway._____________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 写作思路: 故 事 梗 概 作者和同事在为一个加拿大第一民族大学的学生签署紧急经济援助支票后,同事就离开了,但是当作者收拾东西时注意到同事的笔记本电脑包留在了那里,可此时同事已经到家了。于是作者驱车花了大约15分钟到达同事家中归还电脑包,但是在回来的路上突然下起雪来,而且越下越大。作者被迫放慢速度,很快窗户起雾并且被雪覆盖了。外面非常冷,作者不知道自己在哪里,甚至不知道在路的哪一边。作者拨打了911,但他们说最早也得到早上才有人。下午6点左右,天黑了,同事建议作者把位置信息发给他,然后发现作者在一条叫Bouvier Lane的路上,在两个农场之间。下午6点半的时候,作者和同事将这些信息发布到他们的社区群组,恳求任何认识住在农场的人帮助他获救。没过多久,人们就开始在作者的帖子上发表评论。他们认识住在那里的农夫!作者收到了一个人发来的消息,他将帮作者与农夫取得联系 续 写 思 路 续写 第一段 根据文章信息和续写第一段的提示句可知,晚上8点,作者的电话响了。因此可推知,第一段应该写当地的农夫来帮助作者,作者得到救助后所有的恐惧变成了解脱和感激 续写 第二段 续写第二段的提示句写到第二天早上五点半,作者走出家门的时候,发现车道上有两个人。由此可知,第二段应该讲述作者走出家门后发现的那两个人是谁。根据故事发展可推知,这两个人是那个农夫和作者的同事,他们应该已经清除了车道上的积雪,方便他们开车回家。同时最后应该表达对农夫的感激,升华主题 [参考范文] At 8 p.m., my cell phone rang. It was the farmer who owned the land beside the road I was stranded on. He told me that he was coming to get me. Then, about 45 minutes later, I saw a tall figure walking towards me in the dark, and I’d never been more relieved to see someone in my life.“Hey,” he shouted, with his voice steady, “follow me in your car. You’ll be OK.” I drove slowly behind him. When we reached the house, I got out of the car and burst into tears, all my fears turning into relief and gratitude.  By 5:30 the next morning, walking out of the house, I found two people on the driveway. It was the farmer and my colleague! They had cleared the snow from the driveway so that we could all get out and drive home. My colleague came up to me and said that he felt sorry about me all night long, and he joked that my good deeds had turned into a disaster. But as for me, “All is well that ends well.” And best of all, it brought the farmer into my life. We’re still in touch, and I know we’ll be friends forever.  $$
