B Every man wants his son to be somewhat of a clone,not in features but in footsteps. As he grows you also age,and your ambitions become more unachievable.You begin to realize that your boy,in your footsteps,could probably accomplish what you hoped for. But footsteps can be muddied and they can go off in different directions. My son Jody has hated school since day one in kindergarten.Science projects waited until the last moment.Book reports weren't written until the final threat. I've been a newspaperman all my adult life.My daughter is a university graduate working toward her master's degree in English.But Jody?When he entered the tenth grade he became a“vo-tech”student(技校学生).They're called“motorheads”by the rest of the student body. When a secretary in my office first called him "motorhead",I was shocked."Hey, he's a good kid,”I wanted to say.“And smart,really.” I learned later that motorheads are,indeed,different.They usually have dirty hands and wear dirty work clothes.And they don't often make school honor rolls( 荣榜) But being the parent of a motorhead is itself an experience in education.We who labor in clean shirts in offices don't have the abilities that motorheads have.I began to learn this when I had my car crashed.The cost to repair it was estimated at 800. "Hey,I can fix it,said Jody.I doubted it,but let him go ahead,for I had nothing to lose. My son,with other motorheads,fixed the car.They got parts from a junkyard,and ability from vo-tech classes.The lost was 25 instead of 800. Since that first repair job,a broken air-conditioner,a non-functioning washer and a non-toasting toaster have been fixed.Neighbors and co-workers trust their car repairs to him.These kids are happiest when doing repairs.They joke and laugh and are living in their own relaxed world.And their minds are bright despite their dirty hands and clothes. I have learned a lot from my motorhead:publishers need printers,engineers need mechanics,and architects need builders.Most important,I have learned that fathers don't need clones in footsteps or anywhere else.My son may never make the school honor roll.But he made mine. 24.What used to be the author's hope for his son? A.To avoid becoming his clone. B.To resemble him in appearance. C.To develop in a different direction. D.To reach the author's unachieved goals 英语试题（雅礼版）第4页（共10页） 25.The author let his son repair the car because he believed that A.his son had the ability to fix it B.it would save him much time C.it wouldn't cause him any more loss D.other motorheads would come to help 26.In the author's eyes,motorheads are A.tidy and hardworking B.cheerful and smart C.lazy but bright D.relaxed but rude 27.What did the author realize in the end? A.It is unwise to expect your child to follow your path. B.It is important for one to make the honor roll. C.Architects play a more important role than builders. D.Motorheads have greater ability than office workers. Recycling lithium-ion()batteries to recover their critical metals like lithium, nickel and cobalt has significantly lower environmental impacts than mining raw metals, according to a new Stanford University lifecycle analysis published in Nature Communications. The study quantifies the environmental footprint of this recycling process,and finds it gives off less than half the greenhouse gases(GHGs)of conventional mining and uses about one-fourth of the water and energy of mining new metals.The environmental benefits are even greater for the scrap(stream,which accounted for about 90%of the recycled supply studied. Battery recycling's environmental impacts depend heavily on the processing facility's location and electricity source."A battery recycling plant in regions that rely heavily on electricity generated by burning coal would see a reduced climate advantage,"said Samantha Bunke,one of the study's three lead investigators."On the other hand, freshwater shortages in regions with cleaner electricity are a great concern,"added Bunke.Most of the study's data for battery recycling came from Redwood Materials in Nevada-North America's largest industrial-scale lithium-ion battery recycling facility- which benefits from the western U.S.'s cleaner energy mix. Redwood,which has since broken ground on a new facility in South Carolina,was one of the first to apply the lessons of this project to their own operations and environmental footprint.Its founder,JB Straubel said that the insights of this research have played a key role in refining Redwood's battery recycling processes."Thanks to the researchers'observations,we have further reduced our environmental footprint,"he noted. While the U.S.now recycles about 50%of available lithium-ion batteries,it has successfully recycled 99%of lead-acid batteries for decades."Given that used lithium- ion batteries contain materials with up to 10 times higher economic value,the opportunity is significant,"senior author William Tarpeh said."For a future with a greatly increased supply of used batteries,we need to design and prepare a recycling system today from collection to processing back into new batteries with minimal environmental impact,he added."Hopefully,battery producers will consider how to make their batteries more recyclable in their future plans,too. 英语试题（雅礼版）第5页（共10页） 28.What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A.The effectiveness of energy use. B.Methods of conducting the study. C.The complexity of the recycling process. D.Advantages of recycling lithium-ion batteries. 29.Why is Redwood Materials mentioned? A.To show the key role of battery industries. B.To highlight its reduced climate advantage. C.To illustrate the practical use of the research. D.To criticize its lasting environmental footprint. 30.What does the underlined word "refining"mean in paragraph 4? A.Shaking. B.Bettering. C.Starting. D.Limiting. 31.What is Tarpeh's suggestion for battery producers? A.Improve their recycling system. B.Limit the use of lead-acid batteries C.Focus on their processing cost. D.Prioritize recyclability in their designs. D The story of the emperor's new clothes is one of Andersen's best-known fables. Conmen()fool the emperor into believing they have made him a fabulous suit that the unworthy will be unable to see.Courtiers()dare not say that the emperor is naked;it takes a child to point out the obvious. The moral is that people are often too hidebound by social tradition to state their views.How many companies have pursued costly projects favoured by the chief executive,even when other managers have had doubts? In his book Rebel Ideas:The Power of Diverse Thinking,Matthew Syed argues that the key to dealing with this problem is "cognitive diversity",in other words,assembling a team of people with different perspectives and intellectual backgrounds.Individuals from varied backgrounds approach problems differently.It is not merely about electing people for teams from both sexes and various ethnicities.Hire only Cambridge politics graduates or Harvard MBAs or Stanford software engineers and they will have studied under the same professors and absorbed similar world views regardless of their gender or skin colour. In today's complex world,cooperation is crucial for breakthroughs.In science and engineering,90%of papers are produced by teams rather than individuals.Since 1975, team-based patents have dominated across all categories in the United States. There is another element to selecting a good team:ensuring that those viewpoints are heard and respected.That may not happen if those in charge are arrogant.A study of over 300 projects by the Rotterdam School of Management found that those led by junior managers were more likely to succeed than those led by senior managers-maybe because other team members were less scared about pointing out potential dangers to someone less senior. This freedom to speak without fear of punishment is known as "psychological safety.Syed cites a Google study identifying it as the most important factor behind effective teamwork.For example,during brainstorming,allowing anonymous idea submission helps reduce the influence of seniority and encourages honest feedback. 英语试题（雅礼版）第6页（共10页） 32.The first paragraph is intended to A.argue children's wisdom over adults B.confirm the popularity of Andersen's fables C.introduce the problem of fear to express truth in groups D.make fun of the foolishness of the emperor and his courtiers 33.What kind of people are "hidebound"? A.Those opposing team activities. B.Those trapped in a fixed mindset. C.Those overly focusing on others'behavior. D.Those challenging traditional ways of thinking. 34.What does the author suggest a company do as to assembling an effective team? A.Select people from diverse cognitive backgrounds. B.Employ graduates from the same top university. C.Appoint senior managers to pose strict control. D.Hire people in line with the chief executive. 35.Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A.Cognitive Diversity:Daring to Differ B.Junior Managers:Making Better Leaders C.The Emperor's New Clothes:Lying to Obey D.The Google Study:Unlocking Psychological Safety 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为 多余项。 School phobia is a type of illness which causes students,typically between the ages of 8-13,to be afraid to go to school.Symptoms include stomachaches,tiredness, shaking,a racing heart and frequent trips to the toilet. 36.Most commonly it is the result of separation anxiety,but it can also be caused by different kinds of stress.A child who has recently moved,suffered a loss,or gone through a divorce may develop school phobia,and phobias can also develop in response to bullying,an unrecognized learning disability,and poor self-image.37. Many techniques can be used to manage school phobia.But research suggests that much more effective treatment is required for school phobia to prevent problems developing in later life.Children with this condition usually benefit from seeing a psychologist or doctor who can help the child and provide assistance to help parents and school officials support the child.As soon as a school phobia is identified,parents should take action too.38,and it can prevent the child from succeeding in school. 39.If bullying in school is a cause,for example,the bullying situation should be solved.A teacher can meet the child at the door and take him or her to class,and provide support so that the child feels a friendly adult is always available.Changes at home can include supportive language from parents,along with support like assistance with homework.If a child lacks confidence,parents may encourage the child to take up new hobbies.40.Parents might also talk to their children about their own fears of school and how they got over them,and their own enjoyment of school and school-like activities. 英语试题（雅礼版）第7页（共10页） A.It will help children to feel good about themselves B.But a child with phobia refuses to accept adults'support C.Adjustments can be made at home and in the classroom to help D.This common phobia is associated with a wide variety of causes E.Like other phobias,school phobia gets worse if it is left untreated F.The most effective treatment is to help the child have a sense of success G.Understanding the cause of a school phobia is an important step in providing treatment 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Years ago as a college freshman,I was sitting in the library on a beautiful 41 day,bored,working on a history paper.42,off the page came dancing a quote by Gandhi,“In the midst of death life persists..” After those words were read again a dozen times,suddenly I was no longer 43. Outside in the sunshine,I 44 my shoes and danced barefoot across a spring-green lawn. Last weekend on the 45 from California to Las Vegas,I looked down on hills that were so green that I could almost taste them.When I 46 Vegas,the green turned a dull desert brown.We landed after sunset,and the only green to be seen was neon(霓虹灯). But the next morning,I awoke to find 47 of spring all over my yard.In my absence,all sorts of things had 48 and bloomed.Three days later,I drove to Arizona to visit a friend and get yet another 49 of spring.The drive across the desert was completely great,a variety of wildflowers and blooming cactuses(). Sometimes we need the chance to be 50 that we're still alive.After my husband died,a friend sent me a card which 51:"Just when you think you will never 52 again,life comes back." Life 53,and so do we in the green of spring and the dead of winter,in the birth of a child and the 54 of a loved one;in the words we leave behind and the hearts of those who will 55 us.Spring reminds us that we're alive forever. 41.A.spring B.summer C.autumn D.winter 42.A.For a while B.All too often C.Out of nowhere D.Now and then 43.A.angry B.refreshed C. childish D.bored 44.A.put on B.kicked off C.stepped into D.dusted off 45.A.ship B.train C.flight D.road 46.A.missed B.discovered C.left D.approached 47.A.origins B.signs C.air D.sunlight 48.A.leafed B.hid C.faded D.showed 49.A.taste B.gain C.promise D.power 50.A.advised B.warned C.expressed D.reminded 51.A.wrote B.concluded C.read D.requested 52.A.care B.smile C.yield D.recover 53.A.occurs B.persists C.develops D.speeds 54.A.identity B.growth C.passing D.memory 55.A.persuade B.shape C.serve D.remember 英语试题（雅礼版）第8页（共10页） 第二节（共10小题；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。 Young Americans,56 (feed)up with U.S.social media and its fake praise and obvious abuse,are turning to a Chinese app-Xiaohongshu. In China,anyone looking for a restaurant review,a how-to guide or a trip route 57 (be)likely to fire up the app.But U.S.teens and 20-somethings are downloading it to get in on a new beauty trend.Users holding a sign 58 the Chinese characters “tingquan”meaning“listening to advice”invite others to weigh in on how to improve their appearance.Commenters can write in 59 (tip),but they also post images of hairdos or fashions.Sometimes they even edit advice seekers'photos to show 60 they will look with the improved styles. In China,people are more straightforward,sometimes even 61 (cruel)honest, but they mean well.Yet people on U.S.social media can be excessively complimentary. That's why young users who want real talk about their appearance and personal style are now looking elsewhere. Z.J.Rubin,a 16-year-old high-school student from Pittsburgh,said his interest in Chinese culture has stimulated 62 (he)to try different Chinese social-media app. Rubin joined the tingquan campaign in February after seeing other users do it.He said he was touched by 63 kindness of the strangers who encouraged him to be more confident and told him to sleep more,as they thought he looked tired. Zaria MaBon,a 22-year-old public-health student in Atlanta,discovered Xiaohongshu three years ago,when a friend told her that it was "like Instagram,only better".MaBon is Black,so when she asked for 64 (style)tips,she prepared herself for "racist abuse and body shaming".On Xiaohongshu,however,she received "straightforward but helpful"feedback."It was the first place 65 I didn't get nasty comments,"MaBon said. 第四部分写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 假如你是李华，你校外教David打算带领学生创办每周英语视频播客，现在正在征求 学生意见，需要从以下两个主题中选择一个作为播客的主题：“Emotional Outlets(解忧树 洞)”或“Futuristic Visions(未来愿景)”。请你写一封英文邮件给外教，内容包括： (1)你的选择； (2)你推荐的理由。 注意： (1)写作词数应为80个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 参考词汇：播客：podcast 英语试题（雅礼版）第9页（共10页） Dear David, Yours, Li Hua 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。 The moment Michael Armus set foot into the Bank of the West in Woodland, California,to deposit a check,he felt the tension."Something's not right." The cheerful greetings he usually received were absent.Tellers avoided eye contact, their faces pale.The bank manager sat rigidly at his desk,head lowered. Armus looked to his left and noticed a man at another window with his striped T-shirt pulled up to partially hide his face."This is a robbery,"thought Armus. He heard the man say,"I don't want to hurt anybody."Minutes earlier,the man had passed a note to the teller demanding cash and saying he had a gun.Armus looked again and the man's shirt had dropped a bit,exposing more of his face.Just at that moment,Armus recognized the would-be robber as someone he'd passed several times on a street corner reading aloud from his Bible and speaking to passersby. Walking closer,Armus gently asked,"What's wrong?Don't you have a job?"The man froze,tears spilling down his cheeks."There's nothing in this town for me!I just want to go to prison!” The raw despair reminded Armus of his own dark past-down and out,been to prison.His life was a mess.But he got another chance.Suddenly,instead of being frightened,Armus felt compassion for him,and a thought popped into his head:Maybe I can help. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 "Let's talk outside,Armus suggested,putting his arm around the man. Praised for easing a tense situation by a warm hug,Armus was modest. 英语试题（雅礼版）第10页（共10页）
