White survived, but his left arm was crushed beyond repair, and he lost his memory for two years. His pilot license was removed and he could no longer follow his passion for diving. But he had been sailing since he was 16, and so, in 2004, he decided to buy a boat, fitting it out so he could sail it single-handedly. “I didn’t know at that point if I could sail with one hand,” he says. “But at the back of my mind I had always thought I could do anything if I put my mind to it.” Within a year, White had taken on the challenge of being the first one-armed sailor to circumnavigate (环航) the British Isles. Then he crossed the Atlantic alone in 2008. Last year he became the first sailor with a disability to circumnavigate the globe. Sailing single-handed for weeks requires mental, as well as physical, strength, especially when you are alone. So how does he do it? It’s a question that makes the yachtsman (帆船运动员) laugh. “When you have seven children it’s lovely to have a little time on your own! It’s awesome,” he jokes. “I do a log every hour, and my diary, and I read a few books. I have very little sleep.” “I’m a sociable person: I do like lots of people around. Answering emails and chatting over Facebook can help stop any loneliness,” he adds. When White made his first Atlantic crossing, he was disappointed to have his peace and quiet broken by his arrival on land. But, he says, he threw himself into meeting new people. In between adventures, he likes sailing with people who haven’t tried it before or get involved in yacht races with friends. Perhaps the main reason for his success in adjusting to life after a big adventure, he says, is that he always has an idea for a new one in his back pocket. “It keeps me ticking over — there’s always something new to do. I just like challenges and one leads to another.” 4. Why couldn’t White continue his passion for diving? A. He lost his left arm. B. His license was due. C. He had a new hobby. D. His memory was poor. 5. How did White spend his time at sea? A. By staying awake. B. By visiting old friends. C. By keeping himself busy. D. By attending his children. 6. What mainly leads to White’s successful adjustment to life after a big adventure? A. Socializing with new people. B. Scheduling new adventures. C. Coaching new yachtsmen. D. Organizing yacht races. 7. Which of the following best describes Keith White? A. Creative. B. Humorous. C. Easy-going. D. Adventurous. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Keith White身残志坚的励志故事，由于一次意外，他失去了左臂并且失去了两年的记忆，但是最后他决定去航行，获得了成功。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。通过文章第一段“White survived, but his left arm was crushed beyond repair, and he lost his memory for two years.(White活了下来，但他的左臂被压得无法修复，他失去了两年的记忆)”可推知，White不能继续跳水是因为他失去了左臂。故选A项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。通过文章第四段White 的话“I do a log every hour, and my diary, and I read a few books. I have very little sleep.(我每小时做一次日志，写日记，读几本书。)”可推知，White通过让自己忙碌的方式度过在海上的时光。故选C项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。通过文章最后一段“Perhaps the main reason for his success in adjusting to life after a big adventure, he says, is that he always has an idea for a new one in his back pocket. “It keeps me ticking over — there’s always something new to do. I just like challenges and one leads to another.”(他说，在经历了一场大冒险后，他之所以能成功适应生活，主要原因可能是他总能想出一个新点子。“它让我不停地工作——总是有新的事情要做。我只是喜欢挑战，一个接一个。”)”可知，计划新的冒险活动导致怀特在经历了一次大冒险后成功地适应了生活。故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通过文章最后一句“I just like challenges and one leads to another.(我只是喜欢挑战，一个接一个)”结合全文可知，Keith White是一个喜欢冒险的人。故选D项。 C If you live in a region where winter weather is a regular risk, you are likely used to pouring salt on your sidewalks. But how does it work? And how much salt do humans pour onto our planet’s surface? The second question is easier to answer: a lot. Salt doesn’t directly melt ice, nor does it make snow simply disappear. Instead it makes water less likely to freeze in a phenomenon called freezing point depression. In the case of simple rock salt, which is a rawer, less pure version of table salt, each molecule (分子) splits into smaller elements. Normally, when water freezes into ice, its molecules line up to form a stable, orderly structure. Salt interrupts the process, however, and temperatures must drop lower to overcome that interruption and for freezing to occur. But if salt needs to interact with liquid water, how does it do anything when temperatures are stubbornly below freezing, and water should already be in the form of ice? That’s where cars help clear their own way by creating friction and, in turn, heat. The friction allows for the ice that has already frozen to melt a little bit, making it unlikely to freeze. Beyond rock salt’s ability to clear icy streets, it can also be destructive. Chloride ions (氯离子) can cause wear and tear on vehicles and facilities. Increasing chloride densities in North American lakes could begin to upset local ecology and degrade sources of drinking water. Many local governments are looking for alternatives to rock salt. Other salts such as magnesium chloride and calcium chloride work in the same way as rock salt, and they’re perhaps even more efficient. Some experiments are testing other ice-preventing solutions, including those that contain sugars instead of or in addition to salts. Another approach relies more heavily on sand, which can mechanically make roads safer. All of this experimentation is aimed at ensuring people can travel in any weather condition — a Herculean task when winter brings its worst. 8. What’s the purpose of the first sentence in Paragraph 2? A. To introduce the topic. B. To give some evidence. C. To define the phenomenon. D. To reveal the misconception. 9. How does salt work to disturb the process of freezing? A. By lowering the temperature. B. By melting and splitting itself. C. By lining up to form a solid structure. D. By stopping the formation of the structure. 10. What does the underlined word “densities” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Concentrations. B. Weights. C. Qualities. D. Salts. 11. What’s the last paragraph mainly talking about? A. Other salts won’t disturb local ecology. B. Efforts are being made to guarantee safe travels. C. Many alternatives are available to solve the problem. D. Bitter winter make it impossible to secure road safety. 【答案】8. D 9. D 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人们在冬天通过在路面撒盐来缓解雪后因道路结冰而造成的交通安全问题，并就此问题所带来的环境问题进行科普。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段第一句“Salt doesn’t directly melt ice, nor does it make snow simply disappear.”（盐不会直接融化冰，也不会让雪消失。）以及第二句“Instead it makes water less likely to freeze in a phenomenon called freezing point depression.”（相反，它使水更不容易冻结，这种现象被称为冰点降低。）可知，第二段第一句的目的是揭示一个错误认知，纠正盐直接使雪和冰融化的错误想法。故选D项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Normally, when water freezes into ice, its molecules line up to form a stable, orderly structure. Salt interrupts the process, however, and temperatures must drop lower to overcome that interruption and for freezing to occur.”（正常情况下，当水结冰时，它的分子会排成一行，形成一个稳定有序的结构。然而，盐会打断这一过程，而温度必须降得更低，才能克服这种干扰，从而发生冻结。）可知，盐会干扰水分子在结冰时形成稳定、有序的结构。故选D项。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词所在的句子“Increasing chloride densities in North American lakes could begin to upset local ecology and degrade sources of drinking water.”（北美湖泊中氯化物densities的增加可能会扰乱当地生态，并使饮用水源退化。）可知，氯离子的浓度增加会是当地生态系统受到干扰，并使饮用水源退化。所以划线词的意思是“浓度”。故选A项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段，尤其是“All of this experimentation is aimed at ensuring people can travel in any weather condition…”（所有这些试验都是为了确保人们在任何天气条件下都能出行。）可知，本段主要阐述地方政府正在努力确保冰雪天气人们出行安全。故选B项。 D About ten years ago, logging into Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram would mostly show posts from friends and family in the order they were posted. Today, these platforms present a mix of content, tailored by algorithms (算法) to match users’ interests, whether it’s plants, sports, cats, or politics. Kyle Chayka, a writer for The New Yorker, discusses this topic in his book, Filterworld. He explains that algorithms analyze user data to predict and influence what they will likely engage with. This means that instead of a simple, chronological feed, users encounter a dynamic stream, constantly adapting to their preferences. Chayka examines how these algorithmic recommendations control what we consume, from music and movies to food and travel destinations. He argues that this machine-driven selection process has turned us into passive consumers, making our preferences and tastes more similar. Chayka points out that algorithms make us passive by always showing us content that we’re unlikely to click away from but won’t find too unexpected or challenging. This constant stream of recommendations reduces our exposure to diverse or challenging content, subtly shaping our preferences and behaviors. Moreover, Chayka points out that algorithms also pressure content creators, like musicians and artists, to tailor their work to fit these digital platforms. For instance, musicians on Spotify or TikTok might focus on creating catchy hooks at the beginning of their songs to grab the listener’s attention. Despite the strong presence of these algorithms, Chayka believes that regulation could reduce their influence. He suggests that if Meta, the parent company of Facebook, were required to separate its various services, like Instagram or WhatsApp, and make them compete with each other, it could give users more control and choice over their digital consumption. In summary, the change from simple, time-ordered social. media posts to algorithm-driven content has a big impact on both the viewers and the creators, influencing what we see, hear, and even think. Chayka’s insights highlight the need for greater awareness and potentially more regulation in our increasingly digital world. 12. According to the text, how have social media platforms changed in the past ten years? A. They show posts in a time-based order. B. They prioritize posts from friends and family. C. They make adjustments to satisfy users’ needs. D. They provide more content to meet different needs. 13. What does Kyle Chayka think of algorithmic recommendations? A. They make users more active consumers. B. They shape users’ preferences and behaviors. C. They reduce the influence of content creators. D. They expose users to diverse and challenging content. 14. How do algorithms influence musicians’ work on digital platforms? A. By encouraging musicians to create longer songs. B. By discouraging musicians from using catchy hooks. C. By giving musicians more control and choice over their music. D. By requiring musicians to create their work to fit the platforms. 15. What can be concluded from the text? A. Tech companies should have more departments. B. Social media algorithms give content creators less opportunities. C. Social media algorithms flatten our culture by making decisions for us. D. Network platforms have increased the common recommendations for 10 years. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如今社交媒体运用算法会根据用户的喜好进行相应的推送。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“About ten years ago, logging into Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram would mostly show posts from friends and family in the order they were posted. Today, these platforms present a mix of content, tailored by algorithms to match users’ interests, whether it’s plants, sports, cats, or politics.”（大约十年前，登录Facebook、Twitter或Instagram，看到的大多是朋友和家人发布的帖子，顺序是先后的。如今，这些平台呈现的内容是多种多样的，通过算法进行定制，以匹配用户的兴趣，无论是植物、体育、猫还是政治）可知，社交媒体平台在过去的十年里会根据用户的需求进行调整。故选C项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“This constant stream of recommendations reduces our exposure to diverse or challenging content, subtly shaping our preferences and behaviors.”（这种源源不断的推荐减少了我们接触多样化或具有挑战性的内容，微妙地塑造了我们的偏好和行为）可知，Kyle Chayka认为算法推荐塑造了用户的偏好和行为。故选B项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Moreover, Chayka points out that algorithms also pressure content creators, like musicians and artists, to tailor their work to fit these digital platforms.”（此外，Chayka还指出，算法还会迫使音乐家和艺术家等内容创作者调整自己的作品，以适应这些数字平台）可知，算法要求音乐家创作适合平台的作品。故选D项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文且根据第三段“This constant stream of recommendations reduces our exposure to diverse or challenging content, subtly shaping our preferences and behaviors.”（这种源源不断的推荐减少了我们接触多样化或具有挑战性的内容，微妙地塑造了我们的偏好和行为）可知，文章主要介绍了社交媒体运用算法会根据用户的喜好进行相应的推送，但推送的内容因为缺乏挑战和多样性，进而使我们的文化更加扁平化。故选C项。 第二节 七选五（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。 Teamwork Doubles the Strength Admittedly, teamwork is literally important for any class or team to achieve its goals and objectives. Let me give three reasons why it is advantageous. As individuals, we possess diverse talents, strengths, weaknesses and experiences. A team is just like a tapestry (织锦) that weaves what each of us possesses, resulting in an end product that is diverse yet homogenous (同种类的). As team members exchange thoughts and experiences, there can be more efficiency and effectiveness at problem-solving. This pooling of talents can also lead to greater innovation and success. ____16____. It won the Premier League in 2016, to the utter disbelief of many soccer fans. Leicester City, previously regarded as the underdog of the League, displayed extremely impressive teamwork, which led to its unbelievable victory in soccer history. Next teamwork means members share the workload. When work is distributed and each of us in a team specializes in specific tasks, the stress on each of us is reduced and the completion of tasks before deadline is ensured. ____17____. ____18____. Team members learn from more experienced members who may offer deeper insights and perspectives. Newer members may also contribute new ideas. Besides encouraging the sharing of knowledge and experiences, teamwork also develops soft skills like communication and interpersonal skills. ____19____. Some may think that working in isolation (单独) is more efficient since more time is taken when cooperating with others. For more talented individuals, working alone means being the star of a project. ____20____. But, the loss of synergy (协同作用) that only team effort can generate may also prevent the team from reaching its full potential. A. Take Leicester City for example B. Thus we can expect greater job satisfaction C. Team members can also be divided in opinions D. They don’t need to share the success with others E. Let’s not wave away the chance to work in teams F. And finally working in a team multiplies learning opportunities G. We learn to respect differences in working styles and opinions, and develop trust 【答案】16. A 17. B 18. F 19. G 20. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了团队合作之所以对团队达成目标重要的三个原因。 【16题详解】 下文“It won the Premier League in 2016, to the utter disbelief of many soccer fans. Leicester City, previously regarded as the underdog of the League, displayed extremely impressive teamwork, which led to its unbelievable victory in soccer history.(令许多球迷完全难以置信是，它在2016年赢得了英超联赛冠军。莱斯特城曾经被认为是联赛的失败者，但他们表现出了令人印象深刻的团队合作，从而取得了足球史上令人难以置信的胜利)”可知，莱斯特城在英超联赛上的胜利是对上文观点的举例，A项“以莱斯特城为例”引出下文，符合题意。故选A项。 【17题详解】 上文“Next, teamwork means members share the workload. When work is distributed and each of us in a team specializes in specific tasks, the stress on each of us is reduced and the completion of tasks before deadline is ensured.(其次，团队合作意味着成员分担工作量。当工作被分配，我们每个人都在一个团队中专门从事特定的任务时，我们每个人的压力就会减少，并确保在截止日期前完成任务)”说明了团队合作的诸多益处，可以按时完成任务，和B项“因此，我们可以期待更高的工作满意度”，与上文构成因果关系，进一步指明了因为团队成员分担工作量之后，我们可以期待更高的工作满意程度。故选B项。 【18题详解】 下文“Team members learn from more experienced members who may offer deeper insights and perspectives.(团队成员向更有经验的成员学习，这些成员可能会提供更深入的见解和观点)”及“Besides encouraging the sharing of knowledge and experiences, teamwork also develops soft skills like communication and interpersonal skills.(除了鼓励知识和经验的分享，团队合作还培养了沟通和人际交往能力等软技能)”可知，本段想要介绍的是在团队工作中会学到很多东西，F项“最后，在团队中工作可以增加学习机会” 起到了对本段的总结概括作用，作为本段的主题句，符合题意。故选F项。 【19题详解】 上文“Besides encouraging the sharing of knowledge and experiences, teamwork also develops soft skills like communication and interpersonal skills. (除了鼓励知识和经验的分享，团队合作还培养了沟通和人际交往能力等软技能)”和G项“我们学会尊重不同的工作方式和意见，并建立信任”构成内容上的承接关系，指明了团队合作除了可以培养了沟通和人际交往能力等软技能之外，还可以让我学会学会尊重不同的工作方式和意见，并建立信任。故选G项。 【20题详解】 上文“For more talented individuals, working alone means being the star of a project.(对于更有才华的人来说，独自工作意味着成为项目的明星)”中的more talented individuals和D项“他们不需要与他人分享成功”中的they指代一致，解释了独自工作意味着成为项目的明星的原因就是不需要与他人分享成功。故选D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，从短文后所给各题的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Temperatures in the Norwegian capital regularly drop to -10℃ during winter. ____21____ in the harsh winter without wearing a coat, a boy wrapped his arms around himself on a bus stop bench.

Trembling发抖。根据空前“Temperatures in the Norwegian capital regularly drop to -10℃ during winter.”和空后“without wearing a coat,”可知，冬天很冷，男孩没有外套；由此可以推出男孩是在冬天里冷到发抖。故选D项。 【22题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：这是一个令人心碎的场景，但普通人目睹11岁的男孩陷入困境行为，让乔安娜既快乐又鼓舞人心。A. heartbreaking令人心碎的；B. effort-making努力的；C. breathtaking令人惊叹的；D. history-making创造历史的。结合上文提到的场景，男孩在零下十度的冬天在一个公交车站边冷到发抖，是一个令人难过、心碎的场景。故选A项。 【23题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：这是一个令人心碎的场景，但普通人目睹11岁的男孩陷入困境行为，让乔安娜既快乐又鼓舞人心。A. bravery勇敢；B. dilemma两难境地；C. anxiety焦虑；D. adventure冒险。根据后文“he was on a school trip and was told to meet his teacher at the bus stop.”可判断，他没有外套，很冷，但又要等老师不能离开。由此可知，此处表示普通人目睹这一两难的窘境。故选B项。 【24题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：她马上问他：“你没有夹克吗？”A. schoolbag书包；B. companion陪伴；C. jacket外套；D. parent父母。根据上文“Trembling in the harsh winter without wearing a coat,”和后文““No, someone stole it,” he replied.”可知，女人问的是男孩有没有外套。C项jacket外套和coat为近义词替换。故选C项。 【25题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：她询问后得知，他是要去学校，有人告诉他在公交车站等他的老师。A. inquired询问；B. explored探索；C. assessed评估；D. confirmed确认。根据后文“and learned he was on a school trip and was told to meet his teacher at the bus stop.”可知，女人得到了一些男孩的信息，由此可以推出，女人是问了男孩一些问题；并且后文“She asked him the name of his school and where he was from as she ____6____ draped her own coat around his shoulders.”中ask和A项inquire询问为同义词替换。故选A项。 【26题详解】 考查副词词义辨析。句意：她问他学校的名字，从哪里来，同时同情地把自己的外套搭在他肩上。A. sympathetically同情地；B. pretendingly假装地；C. tiredly累地；D. casually随意地。结合常识可知，天气寒冷，年轻女子不顾自己受冻给男孩披上外套，是富有同情心的行为。故选A项。 【27题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：后来，另一个女人把自己的围巾给了他，然后把他裹在自己的大大衣里。A. carried带上；B. bound捆绑；C. placed放置；D. wrapped包住。根据下文“in her large overcoat”判断，对于男孩来说，女人的衣服非常大，所以此处是很形象地形容女人将他裹在大衣里面。故选D项。 【28题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：一整天，越来越多人在等车的时候主动给他手套，甚至脱下身上的外套。A. attempted试图；B. desired想要；C. offered提供；D. chanced碰巧做。根据前文“both joyous and inspiring.”作者形容这一情境为“鼓舞人心的”可推测，越来越多的人都自发的、主动给小男孩提供自己的衣物。故选C项。 【29题详解】 考查副词词义辨析。句意：实际上，乔安娜的经历是挪威慈善机构SOS儿童村的一次实验。A. Interestingly有趣的是；B. Actually实际上；C. Amazingly惊奇的是；D. Naturally自然而然地。根据空后的“Johanne’s experience was an experiment”可知，他的经历实际上是一个实验。故选B项。 【30题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：由一个隐藏的摄像机拍摄，这是他们冬季活动的一部分，目的是筹集急需的外套和毯子，帮助叙利亚儿童过冬。A. potential可能的；B. public公开的；C. hidden藏起来的；D. mobile移动的。结合常识可知，社会实验一般都是在被拍摄人不知情的情况下，用隐藏式摄像机拍摄的。故选C项。 【31题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：这是他们冬季活动的一部分，目的是筹集急需的外套和毯子，帮助叙利亚儿童过冬。A. donations捐赠物；B. suggestions建议；C. demands命令；D. funds资金。根据空后的“of much-needed coats and blankets”可知，收集的是急需的外套和毛毯等捐赠物。故选A项。 【32题详解】 考查介词词义辨析。句意：许多难民离家时都没有冬装。A. despite尽管；B. without没有；C. in在……里面；D. for为了。结合常识可知，很多难民在没有冬衣的情形下就因为战争等因素被迫离开了家乡，所以才需要社会募捐衣物。故选B项。 【33题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：人们应该像关心这个男孩一样，关注叙利亚的儿童。A. curious好奇的；B. confused疑惑的；C. particular特别的；D. concerned担心的。结合上文可知，路人纷纷主动给男孩提供衣物，所以肯定是关心这个男孩。故选D项。 【34题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：她还指出，孩子是一名志愿者，在拍摄过程中没有任何危险。A. noted提出、指出；B. predicted预测；C. quoted引用；D. believed相信。根据上文““People should care as much about children in Syria as they are concerned about this boy,””可知，Synne Ronning是在说明一些关于这个社会实验的情况，空前有also表示“同样、也”，所以空处也需要填和“说明”近义或同义的词。A项“提出、指出”符合句意。故选A项。 【35题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：她还指出，孩子是一名志愿者，在拍摄过程中没有任何危险。A. cheating欺骗；B. filming拍摄；C. walking走路；D. training训练。根据上文语境可知，此处指这个孩子在拍摄这个社会实验的过程中是安全的。故选B项。 第二节（共10题; 每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 During the recent National Day holiday, the Ailao Mountains, located in Southwest China’ s Yunnan Province, became ____36____ unexpected sensation online.

Never let anyone change who you are. This is the lesson I have learned from my childhood experience when I figured out I wasn’t invited to the party, Bridget’s party. One morning, I got off the bus and saw my friends except me hugging under the tree where we used to stand. The circle seemed tighter as I approached；the white invitation cards being hastily stuffed into backpacks gave it away. I knew as well as the entire universe that Bridget’s party was this weekend. Bridget was the most popular girl in our class. She was thin and beautiful, always wearing fabulous clothes and fine makeup. Why hadn’t she invited me? My feet were too big? No. Maybe. My face was broken out? Why did she invite every person in my group except me? I tried to think of any interactions I’d had with Bridget recently. A few days earlier, we’d been partners during a sixth period project. I was determined to get the project done and she was absorbed in looking at fashion magazines. She barely spoke to me except to say, “You’re so serious. You know, you should smile more." Soon, I had overheard all the details about the party. They were going swimming. It was a sleepover. They were renting scary movies and were going to stay up all night. Each time someone mentioned the party, I smiled weakly and nodded, with my stomach in knots. When having my favorite English class, I found myself just unable to concentrate on the short stories we were supposed to be reading in class. Maybe she didn’t invite me because of my coat. It is pretty ugly compared to some of the other girls’ coats. I should have bought another color. Maybe I should smile more but I just can’t get into smiling at people unless I know them really well. But I just couldn’t pretend to be the person I wasn’t. I felt sick. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 At lunch, my friend Kate who had been invited came over to me, trying to show off. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I was about to let it go when Bridget invited me as a substitute for a girl who couldn’t come. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 At lunch, my friend Kate who had been invited came over to me, trying to show off. She said with pride, “Bridget’s party will definitely be awesome!” I didn’t look at Kate, because if I saw any pity in her eyes, I’d start crying so I pretended to look for something seemingly important in my backpack until she left. I hated Bridget, for she had made my life miserable. Why did I have to change myself to please her? As I changed classes, I averted my eyes from everyone I knew. I determined that I wouldn’t pretend to be the one I wasn’t. I was about to let it go when Bridget invited me as a substitute for a girl who couldn’t come. After class, Bridget headed toward my line, weaving through the crowd. I pretended not to notice and looked straight ahead at the blackboard. I felt a hand on my arm. Bridget held out an invitation. “Will you come to my party?” I looked at the small envelope, relishing the moment. But my mind was a jumble. Now she wanted me to come to her party, but I was just filling a space. “Take it”， I thought. “You know you want to go.” I hesitated and finally said no. I had already found the pleasure of being myself. 【解析】 【导语】本文以作者幼时没被邀请去聚会的经历为线索而开始了做自己、遵循本心的心理路程。布丽奇特邀请了作者所有的朋友去参加聚会，唯独没有他。作者因此开始怀疑自己，连自己最喜欢的英语课都不感兴趣了。被邀请的朋友也来落井下石，后来有人不去，布丽奇特才邀请作者做替补，作者果断拒绝。这件事让作者懂得，不要为任何人改变自己本来的样子。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“吃午饭时，我的朋友凯特应邀来找我，想要炫耀一番。”可知，第一段可描写作者如何应对朋友的炫耀。 ②由第二段首句内容“我正要放手的时候，布丽奇特邀请我来代替一个不能来的女孩。”可知，第二段可描写作者如何面对布丽奇特的邀请。 2.续写线索：朋友炫耀——逃避——决定放手——收到替补邀请——拒绝——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.假装：pretend to do sth./make as if ②.犹豫：hesitate/in hesitation/hang back ③.取悦：please/try to please/appeal to sb. 情绪类 ①.恨：hate/dislike/can’t stand ②.糟糕的：miserable/depressing/ 【点睛】[高分句型1].

White survived, but his left arm was crushed beyond repair, and he lost his memory for two years. His pilot license was removed and he could no longer follow his passion for diving. But he had been sailing since he was 16, and so, in 2004, he decided to buy a boat, fitting it out so he could sail it single-handedly. “I didn’t know at that point if I could sail with one hand,” he says. “But at the back of my mind I had always thought I could do anything if I put my mind to it.” Within a year, White had taken on the challenge of being the first one-armed sailor to circumnavigate (环航) the British Isles. Then he crossed the Atlantic alone in 2008. Last year he became the first sailor with a disability to circumnavigate the globe. Sailing single-handed for weeks requires mental, as well as physical, strength, especially when you are alone. So how does he do it? It’s a question that makes the yachtsman (帆船运动员) laugh. “When you have seven children it’s lovely to have a little time on your own! It’s awesome,” he jokes. “I do a log every hour, and my diary, and I read a few books. I have very little sleep.” “I’m a sociable person: I do like lots of people around. Answering emails and chatting over Facebook can help stop any loneliness,” he adds. When White made his first Atlantic crossing, he was disappointed to have his peace and quiet broken by his arrival on land. But, he says, he threw himself into meeting new people. In between adventures, he likes sailing with people who haven’t tried it before or get involved in yacht races with friends. Perhaps the main reason for his success in adjusting to life after a big adventure, he says, is that he always has an idea for a new one in his back pocket. “It keeps me ticking over — there’s always something new to do. I just like challenges and one leads to another.” 4. Why couldn’t White continue his passion for diving? A. He lost his left arm. B. His license was due. C. He had a new hobby. D. His memory was poor. 5. How did White spend his time at sea? A. By staying awake. B. By visiting old friends. C. By keeping himself busy. D. By attending his children. 6. What mainly leads to White’s successful adjustment to life after a big adventure? A. Socializing with new people. B. Scheduling new adventures. C. Coaching new yachtsmen. D. Organizing yacht races. 7. Which of the following best describes Keith White? A. Creative. B. Humorous. C. Easy-going. D. Adventurous. C If you live in a region where winter weather is a regular risk, you are likely used to pouring salt on your sidewalks. But how does it work? And how much salt do humans pour onto our planet’s surface? The second question is easier to answer: a lot. Salt doesn’t directly melt ice, nor does it make snow simply disappear. Instead it makes water less likely to freeze in a phenomenon called freezing point depression. In the case of simple rock salt, which is a rawer, less pure version of table salt, each molecule (分子) splits into smaller elements. Normally, when water freezes into ice, its molecules line up to form a stable, orderly structure. Salt interrupts the process, however, and temperatures must drop lower to overcome that interruption and for freezing to occur. But if salt needs to interact with liquid water, how does it do anything when temperatures are stubbornly below freezing, and water should already be in the form of ice? That’s where cars help clear their own way by creating friction and, in turn, heat. The friction allows for the ice that has already frozen to melt a little bit, making it unlikely to freeze. Beyond rock salt’s ability to clear icy streets, it can also be destructive. Chloride ions (氯离子) can cause wear and tear on vehicles and facilities. Increasing chloride densities in North American lakes could begin to upset local ecology and degrade sources of drinking water. Many local governments are looking for alternatives to rock salt. Other salts such as magnesium chloride and calcium chloride work in the same way as rock salt and they’re perhaps even more efficient. Some experiments are testing other ice-preventing solutions, including those that contain sugars instead of or in addition to salts. Another approach relies more heavily on sand, which can mechanically make roads safer. All of this experimentation is aimed at ensuring people can travel in any weather condition — a Herculean task when winter brings its worst. 8. What’s the purpose of the first sentence in Paragraph 2? A. To introduce the topic. B. To give some evidence. C. To define the phenomenon. D. To reveal the misconception. 9.

D About ten years ago, logging into Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram would mostly show posts from friends and family in the order they were posted. Today, these platforms present a mix of content, tailored by algorithms (算法) to match users’ interests, whether it’s plants, sports, cats, or politics. Kyle Chayka, a writer for The New Yorker, discusses this topic in his book, Filterworld. He explains that algorithms analyze user data to predict and influence what they will likely engage with. This means that instead of a simple, chronological feed, users encounter a dynamic stream, constantly adapting to their preferences. Chayka examines how these algorithmic recommendations control what we consume, from music and movies to food and travel destinations. He argues that this machine-driven selection process has turned us into passive consumers, making our preferences and tastes more similar. Chayka points out that algorithms make us passive by always showing us content that we’re unlikely to click away from but won’t find too unexpected or challenging. This constant stream of recommendations reduces our exposure to diverse or challenging content, subtly shaping our preferences and behaviors. Moreover, Chayka points out that algorithms also pressure content creators, like musicians and artists, to tailor their work to fit these digital platforms. For instance, musicians on Spotify or TikTok might focus on creating catchy hooks at the beginning of their songs to grab the listener’s attention. Despite the strong presence of these algorithms, Chayka believes that regulation could reduce their influence. He suggests that if Meta, the parent company of Facebook, were required to separate its various services, like Instagram or WhatsApp, and make them compete with each other, it could give users more control and choice over their digital consumption. In summary, the change from simple, time-ordered social. media posts to algorithm-driven content has a big impact on both the viewers and the creators, influencing what we see, hear, and even think. Chayka’s insights highlight the need for greater awareness and potentially more regulation in our increasingly digital world. 12. According to the text, how have social media platforms changed in the past ten years? A. They show posts in a time-based order. B. They prioritize posts from friends and family. C They make adjustments to satisfy users’ needs. D They provide more content to meet different needs. 13. What does Kyle Chayka think of algorithmic recommendations? A. They make users more active consumers. B. They shape users’ preferences and behaviors. C. They reduce the influence of content creators. D. They expose users to diverse and challenging content. 14. How do algorithms influence musicians’ work on digital platforms? A. By encouraging musicians to create longer songs. B. By discouraging musicians from using catchy hooks. C By giving musicians more control and choice over their music. D. By requiring musicians to create their work to fit the platforms. 15. What can be concluded from the text? A. Tech companies should have more departments. B. Social media algorithms give content creators less opportunities. C. Social media algorithms flatten our culture by making decisions for us. D. Network platforms have increased the common recommendations for 10 years. 第二节 七选五（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。 Teamwork Doubles the Strength Admittedly, teamwork is literally important for any class or team to achieve its goals and objectives. Let me give three reasons why it is advantageous. As individuals, we possess diverse talents, strengths, weaknesses and experiences. A team is just like a tapestry (织锦) that weaves what each of us possesses, resulting in an end product that is diverse yet homogenous (同种类的). As team members exchange thoughts and experiences, there can be more efficiency and effectiveness at problem-solving. This pooling of talents can also lead to greater innovation and success. ____16____. It won the Premier League in 2016, to the utter disbelief of many soccer fans.

When work is distributed and each of us in a team specializes in specific tasks, the stress on each of us is reduced and the completion of tasks before deadline is ensured. ____17____. ____18____. Team members learn from more experienced members who may offer deeper insights and perspectives. Newer members may also contribute new ideas.

Never let anyone change who you are. This is the lesson I have learned from my childhood experience when I figured out I wasn’t invited to the party, Bridget’s party. One morning, I got off the bus and saw my friends except me hugging under the tree where we used to stand. The circle seemed tighter as I approached；the white invitation cards being hastily stuffed into backpacks gave it away. I knew as well as the entire universe that Bridget’s party was this weekend. Bridget was the most popular girl in our class. She was thin and beautiful, always wearing fabulous clothes and fine makeup. Why hadn’t she invited me? My feet were too big? No. Maybe. My face was broken out? Why did she invite every person in my group except me? I tried to think of any interactions I’d had with Bridget recently. A few days earlier, we’d been partners during a sixth period project. I was determined to get the project done and she was absorbed in looking at fashion magazines. She barely spoke to me except to say, “You’re so serious. You know, you should smile more." Soon, I had overheard all the details about the party. They were going swimming. It was a sleepover. They were renting scary movies and were going to stay up all night. Each time someone mentioned the party, I smiled weakly and nodded, with my stomach in knots. When having my favorite English class, I found myself just unable to concentrate on the short stories we were supposed to be reading in class. Maybe she didn’t invite me because of my coat. It is pretty ugly compared to some of the other girls’ coats. I should have bought another color. Maybe I should smile more but I just can’t get into smiling at people unless I know them really well. But I just couldn’t pretend to be the person I wasn’t. I felt sick. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 At lunch, my friend Kate who had been invited came over to me, trying to show off. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I was about to let it go when Bridget invited me as a substitute for a girl who couldn’t come. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
