A:DCB
【解析】这是一则推荐类的广告。文章主要介绍了悬滑板(平衡车)的相关情况。
21. 细节理解题。由•Logic board 部分中的“It processes data — your speed, tilt, etc.— and sends information to the motors. This unit controls the power of the board so riders can adjust their speed.”可知,它处理数据——你的速度、倾斜度等——并将信息发送给电动机。这个装置控制着滑板的力量,所以骑手们可以调整他们的速度。由此我们可以判断logic board可以接收数据,并发出指令。故选D。
22. 细节理解题。由最后一段中的“Currently, some places prohibit anyone under 16 from using these devices, and hoverboards are banned in academic institutions and public places, like campus buildings, parks, shopping malls and subway stations.”可知,目前,一些地方禁止16岁以下的人使用这些设备,学术机构和公共场所也禁止使用悬滑板(平衡车),比如校园建筑、公园、购物中心和地铁站。选项A校园,B公园,D购物中心都被排除。故选C。
23. 推理判断题。由第一段中的“If you’re looking to buy a gift for your children, why not keep up with the trend and get the best hoverboard?”可知,如果你想给你的孩子买礼物,为什么不紧跟潮流,买最好的悬滑板(平衡车)呢?由此可知,这篇文章是帮大家推荐一款给孩子的礼物。故选B。
B:DCBD
【解析】本文通过讲述骑车给作者带来的改变和非凡体验告诉我们,不能因为事业放弃了生活中的其他追求。
24. 根据第二段的Luckily my passion for cycling kept me sane(清醒的)while I was becoming an architect.(幸运的是,我对骑自行车的热情让我在成为一名建筑师时保持清醒。)和最后一段的It will enhance your architecture career and ultimately make you a more interesting person, which in my opinion is really more important than being another silly architect.(这将提升你的建筑事业,最终让你成为一个更有趣的人,在我看来,这真的比成为一个愚蠢的建筑师更重要。)可知,作者认为骑自行车让他成为了一个更好的建筑师和人。故选D。
25. 根据第三段I have actually bicycled across the continental USA twice. East to west, Atlantic Ocean to Pacific Ocean, both times. Bicycling across America isn't as hard as you think.(我实际上骑过两次自行车穿越美国大陆。从东到西,从大西洋到太平洋,两次都是。骑自行车穿越美国并不像你想象的那么难。)和下文作者两次骑车穿越美国的讲述可知,骑车让作者做了自己喜欢的事情,如交友、旅行,收获了意外的惊喜,如在新城市找到新工作,从这些可以看出骑车穿越美国的旅行给了作者一些非凡的体验。故选C。
26. 根据第六段的Architecture has given me a wonderful life... definitely sweetened my relationship with all those things.(建筑给了我美好的生活和事业,但它不是一切。谢天谢地,我也非常热爱:我的朋友、旅游、自行车、朋克摇滚、科技、互联网、我的狗,甚至瑜伽。我的建筑背景无疑让我与所有这些东西的关系更加融洽。)可知,职业并非生活中的一切,业余爱好让作者的生活更加和谐。由此推知,我们不能因为职业而放弃自己的业余爱好。故选B。
27. 根据最后一段的Becoming an architect is a noble pursuit...than being another silly architect.(成为一名建筑师是一项崇高的追求,但你应该继续追求你所热爱的一切。这将提升你的建筑事业,最终让你成为一个更有趣的人,在我看来,这真的比成为一个愚蠢的建筑师更重要。)可知,作者提醒我们不要用事业代替其他追求,因为其他追求会提升我们的事业,让我们成为更有趣的人。故选D。
C:ABDC
【解析】本文主要探讨了德国伟大哲学家尼采的观点,即人们内在具有成为伟人的潜能,但往往因为懒惰而被破坏。同时,作者强调在懒惰和过度努力之间找到平衡的重要性,并提倡通过发现个人的热情来实现有意义的进步和生产力的提升。
28. 根据第二段And just as itˈs important not to spend all of our time in comfort, itˈs also important not to spend it working too hard. You might argue that progress can be achieved through slavishness (苦干). But does it make any sense to achieve progress if itˈs not enjoyable and if it doesnˈt lead us to our potential? If we focus on progress simply for the progress itself, we may fail to live the meaningful life we are truly seeking.(不要把所有的时间都花在舒适上,同样重要的是不要把时间都花在工作上。你可能会说,进步可以通过奴性来实现。但是,如果取得进步并不令人愉快,如果它不能引导我们发挥潜力,那么取得进步还有意义吗?如果我们仅仅为了进步本身而关注进步,我们可能无法过上我们真正追求的有意义的生活。)可知,第二段的主要是讲过度努力(slavishness)并不是实现进步的好方法,故选A。
28. 根据第四段中As Adam Smith wrote in The Wealth of Nations, "…by reducing every manˈs business to one simple operation, and by making this operation the only employment of his life, necessarily increases the skillfulness of the workman."(正如亚当·斯密在《国富论》中所写的那样,“……通过将每个人的业务简化为一种简单的操作,并使这种操作成为他一生中唯一的职业,必然会提高工人的技能。”)可知,亚当·斯密在《国富论》中强调了专注于一个特定领域的重要性。故选B。
30. 第五段的问题“And how do you pick a single area of expertise?”起到了引入下一个讨论话题的作用,即如何选择一个专业领域进行深入研究。这显示了作者将引导读者进一步思考如何根据自己的热情选择专业领域,故选 D。
31. 根据最后一段中Examine the things that caught your interest ever since you were a child before the world told you what you had to care about.(回顾一下那些在你还是个孩子的时候就引起你兴趣的事情,那时这个世界还没有告诉你该关心什么。)可知,作者建议人们回顾童年时期的兴趣点来发现自己真正的热情所在,故选C。
D:DBCA
【解析】【本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了WiFi在旅行过程中的重要性,但没有WiFi的酒店也在开始成为酒店的特色。
32. 第四段最后一句提到“We rely on free Wi-Fi heavily when traveling –– especially when it comes to checking social media, searching for travel tips, and accessing websites.”(我们在旅行时严重依赖免费Wi-Fi,尤其是在查看社交媒体、搜索旅行提示和访问网站时。)由此判断,旅行者在旅行的时候要查看社交媒体、搜索旅行提示和访问网站,所以他们需要找一个有免费WiFi的酒店。
33. 根据划线词后文“when she was stuck in an isolated camp in Greenland recently. ”(当她被困在格陵兰岛一个与世隔绝的营地)由此判断,《孤独星球》的编辑被困在格陵兰岛一个与世隔绝的营地,说明当时什么都没有,因此也不会有电子设备或者是WiFi。此处指的是“和电子设备失联”。
34. 第六段提到“I had believed I was capturing moments, but in reality my busy thumbs were preventing me from enjoying travelˈs most profound pleasures.”(我认为我是在捕捉瞬间,但实际上,我忙碌的大拇指让我无法享受旅行中最深刻的乐趣。)由此判断,Anita Isalska认为如果对社交媒体上瘾的话就会影响旅行的质量,无法享受旅行的乐趣。
35. 第一段提到“Free Wi-Fi has become incredibly important to us: many stores and shopping malls offer it, restaurants use it to attract customers, and for libraries and coffee shops it is a must-have service.”(免费Wi-Fi对我们来说已经变得非常重要:许多商店和购物中心提供免费Wi-Fi,餐馆用它来吸引顾客,对于图书馆和咖啡馆来说,这是一项必不可少的服务。)但是在文章最后一段又提到“One of them was that true escapes will be highly valued in future, so remote hotels will start to make their lack of Internet into a feature. Would you like to have an unplugged holiday?”(其中之一是,真正的逃离将在未来受到高度重视,因此偏远的酒店将开始把缺乏互联网变成一种特色。你想过一个不插电的假期吗?)现在人们对于WiFi特别依赖,在外面玩的时候也想要找有WiFi的酒店,但最近的调查发现,人们也想要逃离有WiFi的地方,去尽量的放松自己。因此作者是在反对人们对WiFi的过分依赖。
第二节(共12.5小题;每小题1.5分,满分22.5分)
36—40 BGEAC
【解析】本文是一篇议论文,主要论述了做真实的自己以及允许他人做自己的重要性,强调这是建立健康人际关系和实现个人幸福的关键。
36. 根据上文Being true to yourself is very crucial in life.(在生活中做真实的自己非常重要。)以及下文It extends to an important part of our social lives: enabling others to be themselves and accepting them for who they are.(它延伸到我们社交生活的一个重要部分:让他人做自己并接受他们本来的样子。)可知,B选项“然而,这不仅仅停留在做真实的自己。”和上文形成转折关系,且引出下文关于对他人的方面,符合语境。
37. 根据下文We may attempt to control their actions or influence their way of thinking.(我们可能会试图控制他们的行为或影响他们的思维方式。)可知,G选项“我们很多人都试图重塑他人以满足我们自己的期望。”与下文内容衔接紧密,解释了下文行为的原因,符合语境。
38. 根据上文Instead, we should focus on accepting others as they are and allowing them to express themselves freely.(相反,我们应该专注于接受他人本来的样子,让他们自由地表达自己。)以及下文It implies we should respect their individuality and value their unique viewpoints.(这意味着我们应该尊重他们的个性,重视他们独特的观点。)可知,E选项“这并不意味着我们必须同意他们说的每一句话。”承上启下,符合语境。
39. 根据上文Itˈs all too easy to get trapped in trying to please everyone. But in doing so, we risk losing touch with our own true selves.(很容易陷入试图取悦每个人的陷阱。但这样做,我们有与真实的自己失去联系的风险。)可知,A选项“我们可能会忽视自己的价值观和欲望。”与上文逻辑一致,符合语境。
40. 根据上文Being true to oneself and allowing others to be themselves isnˈt always easy. However, it is a key aspect of building healthy relationships and personal well-being.(做真实的自己并允许他人做自己并不总是容易的。然而,这是建立健康人际关系和个人幸福的一个关键方面。)可知,C选项“这对于过上充实而有意义的生活至关重要。”总结了上文内容,符合语境。

第二节(满分25分)
One day, during a tough game, Jordan fell and hurt his ankle. Alex, who was close by, quickly went to help. In that moment, their old friendship came back to life. Jordan’s pain and need for help broke down the barriers of anger. They sat on the bench, with Jordan’s ankle being iced, and talked. Alex said sorry for being too stubborn, and Jordan admitted to being too quick to act. They understood that their small disagreement was not as important as their long-lasting friendship.
From then on, they tried to understand each other. They worked together on the history project, mixing their ideas to make a really good presentation that got them an A. Their friendship, which had been tested by their fight, became stronger and more able to bounce back. In the end, Alex and Jordan learned that being friends doesn’t mean always agreeing; it means understanding and accepting each other’s differences and working together to solve problems. They realized that true friendship is a valuable thing that can last, even when there are disagreements.

If you’re looking to buy a gift for your children, why not keep up with the trend and get the best hoverboard(悬浮滑板)?
What is a Hoverboard?
A hoverboard is a two-wheeled personal transportation device. It’s electrical, portable and became highly popular in 2015. Typically, this self-balancing device operates like a powered skateboard.
How Does a Hoverboard Work?
The device may have many designs, but the mechanism itself isn’t complicated. Basically, a standard hoverboard contains:
•Battery: stores the electrical power. Almost all hoverboards use a high-watt lithium-ion battery.
•Gyroscope (one for each wheel): allows riders to tilt (倾斜) the hoverboard while maintaining balance and adjusting their direction.
•Motor (one in each wheel): provides the power to the wheels to keep the rider balanced and upright.
•Logic board: functions as the hoverboard brain. It processes data—your speed, tilt, etc.—and sends information to the motors. This unit controls the power of the board so riders can adjust their speed.
All the above components work together to control the power and tilt of the hoverboards so the rider is balanced, upright and moving at a controlled speed.
Why Buy a Hoverboard?
Undoubtedly, hoverboards are cool. You’ve probably seen kids riding one around the house. They’re a phenomenon and everybody wants in. So, why deny your kids and prevent them from being part of this trend?
Where is a hoverboard legal?
Despite their wild popularity, hoverboards have yet to become “street-legal”. Currently, some places prohibit anyone under 16 from using these devices, and hoverboards are banned in academic institutions and public places, like campus buildings, parks, shopping malls and subway stations. Some places have also put speed limits on the devices and restricted their use to bike paths. However, open areas—including your yard—are free of these restrictions.
21.The logic board of a hoverboard can ______.
A. store electricity B. power the wheels
C. send information to the riders D. receive data and give command
22.According to the passage, you can see a hoverboard can be used ______.
A. on campus B. in parks C. on bike paths D. in shopping malls
23.What is the main purpose of this passage?
A. To evaluate a gift’s quality.
B. To suggest a gift option.
C. To compare new hoverboard models.
D. To explain functions of the latest hoverboards.
B
Architecture is amazing. It has changed the way I look and interact with the world and my environment. It has trained me to be hyper-sensitive to the built environment, to recognize problems and find solutions that an untrained eye would never notice.
As much as I love this profession, it is very easy to get lost in architecture. I get so focused that I have forgotten about everything else. Luckily my passion for cycling kept me sane(清醒的)while I was becoming an architect. I faced a lot of obstacles and challenges taking a bicycle ride across the United States. Looking back, cycling across the America was actually one of the smartest things I ever did.
I have actually bicycled across the continental USA twice. East to west, Atlantic Ocean to Pacific Ocean, both times. Bicycling across America isn’t as hard as you think.
I rode alone on my first trip in 2005 from Virginia Beach to the coast of Florence, Oregon. In the end it was 4,547 miles over the course of 77 days.
I left for the second trip in 2007 with my two best friends from Bar Harbor, Maine to Portland, Oregon, which was a 4,886 mile ride over 90 days. At that time, I fell in love with the idea of leaving the east coast behind, starting a whole new life and career in a new city. I ended up in Portland. After arriving in town on a bike, I eventually found a job, a place to live and an amazing dog.
I share all this not to convince anyone to go biking across America, but only to share how doing this has changed my life. Architecture has given me a wonderful life and career but it isn’t everything. Thankfully I have also been very passionate about: my friends, traveling, bicycles, punk rock, technology, the Internet, my dog, and even yoga. My architecture background has definitely sweetened my relationship with all those things.
Becoming an architect is a noble pursuit, but you should keep pursuing everything else that you are passionate about. It will enhance your architecture career and ultimately make you a more interesting person, which in my opinion is really more important than being another silly architect.
24.What’s the advantage of cycling according to the author?
A. Changing his negative attitude to architecture.
B. Keeping himself focused on his career all the time.
C. Enabling him to find solutions without training.
D. Making him a much better architect and person.
25.What did the author think of his two cross-country bike trips?
A. They were harder than what he expected before.
B. They showed the benefits of riding with friends.
C. They gave him some extraordinary experiences.
D. They guaranteed him a new life and career in Portland.
26.What can be inferred from Paragraph 6?
A. Don’t get completely lost in your hobbies.
B. Don’t abandon hobbies for your profession.
C. Don’t feel ashamed of stopping your hobbies.
D. Don’t weigh your family against your profession.
27.In the last paragraph, the author reminds us to ______.
A. take up the pursuit of becoming an architect
B. find what we are really passionate about
C. appreciate other people’s good intentions
D. avoid our career taking over other pursuits
C
According to the great German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, you have the potential (潜能) for greatness inside of you, but like most people, you will probably let it be destroyed by your own laziness.
And just as it’s important not to spend all of our time in comfort, it’s also important not to spend it working too hard. You might argue that progress can be achieved through slavishness (苦干). But does it make any sense to achieve progress if it’s not enjoyable and if it doesn’t lead us to our potential? If we focus on progress simply for the progress itself, we may fail to live the meaningful life we are truly seeking.
The solution to this problem, then, lies in the middle between laziness and slavishness. I call that middle joyful productivity (生产力). It’s about spending your energy in a way that allows you to make meaningful progress each day and avoid the disasters of laziness.
As Adam Smith wrote in The Wealth of Nations, "…by reducing every man’s business to one simple operation, and by making this operation the only employment of his life, necessarily increases the skillfulness of the workman." In his opinion, when you concentrate all of your attention on one area of expertise (专长), you can become a master in it. And when you become a master in that area, you can create things of value, thus promoting your productivity.
And how do you pick a single area of expertise? It should be something that you are really interested in, because only then will you be able and willing to spend the huge amount of time and effort it takes to become a master in any field.
The end of both laziness and slavishness begins with the discovery of your passions (热爱). Examine the things that caught your interest ever since you were a child before the world told you what you had to care about. The way forward lies within the examination of those early interests.
28.What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. Slavishness isn’t a good way to make progress.
B. Comfort doesn’t contribute to a meaningful life.
C. You can enjoy your life only by making progress.
D. Slavishness helps develop one’s greatest potential.
29.In The Wealth of Nations Adam Smith stresses the significance of ________.
A. increasing workmen
B. focusing on one specific field
C. mastering working skills
D. creating valuable things
30.What is the function of the question in paragraph 5?
A. To show the author’s confusion.
B. To excite readers’ comment.
C. To express an opposite opinion.
D. To introduce the next topic.
31.What does the author suggest people do in the last paragraph?
A. Care about the world. B. Treasure their childhood.
C. Find their true passion. D. Prevent laziness.
D
Free Wi-Fi has become incredibly important to us: many stores and shopping malls offer it, restaurants use it to attract customers, and for libraries and coffee shops it is a must-have service.
Even when people are traveling, they scan for free Wi-Fi, which, according to research released by London’s Amba Hotel on Dec 4, has become the most important standard for selecting a hotel.
According to the survey, as many as 67 percent of travelers questioned said that free Wi-Fi would make them more likely to choose accommodation, above other things such as the hotel’s location and friendly staff. When rating a hotel that they’d already stayed in, six in ten travelers believed that unlimited Wi-Fi was the most important factor in their rating.
“Today, people treat their smartphones, tablets and laptops like clothes when they are about to travel to some places. They will never forget to pack it into the suitcase,” said the Daily Mail. “We rely on free Wi-Fi heavily when traveling –– especially when it comes to checking social media, searching for travel tips, and accessing websites.”
However, despite the opportunities that free Wi-Fi gives us, “our over-reliance on technology has come at a price, with travelers feeling unable to escape social media”, said Lonely Planet, the world’s largest travel guide brand.
Anita Isalska(伊斯兰卡), Lonely Planet editor and tech addict, was forced to unplug when she was stuck in an isolated camp in Greenland recently. “Adjusting to this slower pace, it began to dawn on me: somewhere, somehow, social media had changed into a reflex (条件反射),” she wrote. “I had believed I was capturing moments, but in reality my busy thumbs were preventing me from enjoying travel’s most profound pleasures. How fully can you appreciate a huge glacier or grassland of wildflowers when your brain is subconsciously selecting the right photo filter (滤镜), or the perfect six seconds to film?”
In September, the brand released 10 predictions for the future of global travel. One of them was that true escapes will be highly valued in future, so remote hotels will start to make their lack of Internet into a feature. Would you like to have an unplugged holiday?
32.Why do travelers attach importance to free Wi-Fi when selecting a hotel?
A. They think hotels with free Wi-Fi are likely to provide better service.
B. They believe hotels with free Wi-Fi usually have better locations.
C. They hope to enjoy more profound pleasures while using free Wi-Fi.
D. They depend on free Wi-Fi to check social media and access websites.
33.What does the underlined word “unplug” in Paragraph 6 probably mean?
A. Check social media. B. Disconnect from digital devices.
C. Appreciate beautiful scenery. D. Cancel a travelling plan.
34.What is the lesson Anita Isalska learned from the isolated camp she attended in Greenland recently?
A. Travelers should adapt to a slower pace when checking social media.
B. Travelers should take more photos and videos during their journeys.
C. Addiction to social media has negatively affected the quality of travel.
D. Beautiful scenery could be appreciated better if films are shot cautiously
35.What is the author’s main purpose in writing this article?
A. To argue against people’s over-reliance on Wi-Fi.
B. To promote the growing importance of free Wi-Fi in daily lives.
C. To predict what global travel will be like in the future.
D. To protest against travelers’ standard when selecting a hotel.

Being true to yourself is very crucial in life. It’s vital to know who you are, what you trust, and what makes you happy. 36 It extends to an important part of our social lives: enabling others to be themselves and accepting them for who they are.
37 We may attempt to control their actions or influence their way of thinking. However, this only creates conflict and can harm relationships. Instead, we should focus on accepting others as they are and allowing them to express themselves freely. 38 It implies we should respect their individuality and value their unique viewpoints.

第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Alex and Jordan have been friends since their first year of high school. They both love basketball and video games. People often saw them laughing and hanging out together during lunch and after school. But a project for their history class brought new challenges to their friendship.
The project needed teamwork, but Alex and Jordan had different ideas about how to do it. Alex, who is detail-oriented (注重细节的), wanted to do a traditional presentation. He wanted to do lots of research and make a PowerPoint with lots of facts. Alex thought this would get them a good grade. But Jordan had a different idea. He wanted to act out historical events with costumes. Jordan thought this would be more fun and interesting for their classmates.
When they talked about the project, they started arguing. Alex thought Jordan’s idea was too strange and wouldn’t be taken seriously. He thought the skit (小品) could be seen as a distraction. Jordan thought Alex’s plan was too boring and wouldn’t keep the class’ attention. He said a creative presentation would make the history more accessible.
The argument got personal, with both friends raising their voices. Alex said Jordan cared more about having fun than doing well in school. Jordan said Alex cared too much about grades and not enough about learning. They both felt the other was making it hard to do a good project and their friendship started to get strained.
As days turned into weeks, the once-close friends started avoiding each other. The school atmosphere became awkward, with their mutual friends caught in the middle, unsure of how to help. The basketball court, which used to be a place of shared joy and teamwork, now echoed with the silence of their unresolved conflict. Their mutual friends tried to mediate, suggesting they find a compromise, but both Alex and Jordan were too proud to back down. They each felt that their approach was the best and that the other was being stubborn, refusing to consider the other’s point of view.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
One day, during a tough game, Jordan fell and hurt his ankle.
From then on, they tried to understand each other.
