My parents and my grandparents were ___21___, and for the past 40 years I’ve done the same thing. We know why kids don’t learn, It’s poverty, negative peer (同龄人) influences... But one of the things that we rarely discuss is the value and importance of human ___22___. James Comer says that no significant (有重大意义的) learning can happen without a significant ___23___. A colleague (同事) said to me one time, “They don’t pay me to ___24___ the kids. They pay me to teach a lesson.” Well, I said to her, “You know, kids don’t learn from people they hate.” She said, “That’s just nonsense.” And I said to her, “well, your year is going to be long and ___25___, dear.” Some people think that you can either have it in you to build a relationship, or you don’t. I think Stephen Covey had the right idea. He said you ought to use just a few ___26___ things, like seeking first to understand and ___27___ rather than being understood. You ever thought about that? Tell a kid you’re sorry and they are in ___28___. Once I taught a Maths lesson. And after class, I found I hadn’t taught the whole lesson ___29___. So I came back to class the next day and said, “Look, guys, I taught the whole lesson wrong. I’m so sorry.” They said, “That’s okay, Ms. Pierson. You were so ___30___ and we just let you go.” I always wonder, “How am I going to ___31___ this group from where they are to where they need to be? And it was awfully hard. How do I raise the ___32___ of a child and his academic (学术的) achievement at the same time?” One year I had a bright idea. I told all my students, “You were chosen to be in my class because I am the best teacher and you are the best students.” And I gave them a saying to say, “I am ___33___. I am powerful, and I am the winner.” If you say it long enough, it starts to be a part of you. Teaching and learning should bring joy. Every child deserves a(n) ___34___ who will never give up on them, who understands the power of connection, and insists that they become the best that they can possibly be. Is this job really tough?

Reading comprehension (1'*15=15') A Mastering time management is an extremely important skill that can increase productivity and reduce stress, especially for beginners. Here are some straightforward strategies to help you get started: 1. Prioritize Tasks: Begin by listing all the tasks you need to complete in a period. Then, categorize them into ‘urgent’, ‘important’ and ‘can wait’. Focus on completing the urgent and important tasks first. The Eisenhower Box (艾森豪威尔矩阵) is a useful method for recognizing the difference between tasks that require immediate attention and those that can be scheduled for later. It can help you prioritize your tasks and focus on what is most important. 2. Break Tasks into Smaller Steps: Large tasks can seem overwhelming (让人不知所措). Break them down into smaller, more manageable steps. This method not only makes the task seem more achievable but also provides a clear road map of what needs to be done. 3. Use a Planner: Whether it’s a digital app or a traditional paper planner, use what works best for you. Record all your tasks, appointments, and deadlines. Checking off completed tasks can also provide a sense of accomplishment and motivate you to keep going. 4. Set Time Limits: Allocate (分配) specific time blocks for each task. This technique, known as time-blocking, helps prevent procrastination (拖延) and keeps you focused on the task at hand. Remember to include short breaks to recharge, following methods like the Pomodoro Technique (25 minutes of work followed by a 5-minute break). 5. Avoid Multitasking: While it might seem efficient, multitasking often leads to lower-quality work and more stress. Focus on one task at a time for better results. 6. Reflect and Adjust (调整)： At the end of each day or week, reflect on what you completed and what could be improved. Adjust your strategies accordingly. Time management is a personal journey, and what works for one person may not work for another. By incorporating (包含) these simple strategies into your daily routine, you can take control of your time, reduce stress, and improve your overall productivity. Remember, time management is a skill that improves with practice, so be patient with yourself as you find the methods that work best for you. 36. What does the underlined word ‘prioritize’ probably mean? A. To put tasks, problems, etc. in order of importance. B. To have influence or power within a group. C. To improve the quality of something. D. To bring about a good impression. 37. Look at The Eisenhower Box below, which one do you think should be put in Q1? THE EISENHOWER BOX A. DO IT NOW B. PLAN IT C. DELEGATE (委托) IT D. DROP IT 38. Why do we need to break tasks into smaller steps? A. Because it can make us feel relaxed. B. Because it is possible for you to succeed in doing them. C. Because you will understand better the things that you need to do. D. Both B&C. 39. Which of the following situation should be avoided? A. Use a digital app to make a plan. B Focus on several tasks at a time. C. Take a break for 5 minutes after working for 25 minutes. D. Think carefully about what you have done and try to improve it. 40. According to the passage, in order to manage time well, you need to ________. A. encourage yourself B. learn all the strategies well C. increase productivity and reduce stress D. find the method that suits you best and keep practicing B Technology usually distracts us from nature. But now technology is “offering us an opportunity to listen to non-humans in powerful ways, reviving our connection to the natural world,” wrote Professor Karen Bakker in her new book, The Sounds of Life: How Digital Technology Is Bringing Us Closer to the Worlds of Animals and Plants. All around the animal kingdom, there are sounds that we struggle to pick up and decipher. Elephants, for example, communicate with each other using infrasound, a sound frequency far below our human hearing range. Coral in the ocean also communicates with each other through sound waves, with one purpose being to attract baby coral to areas where it can successfully grow. This is a shocking fact as coral doesn’t have any ears! Scientists have placed listening devices in these environments to pick up sounds humans are normally unable to detect. After the sounds are recorded AI is then able to determine their meaning, according to the news website Vox. There are now whole databases of whale songs and honeybee dances. Bakker wrote that one day this information could be turned into “a zoological version of Google Translate”. One animal language Bakker wrote about is that of the elephant. She explained how elephants “have a different signal for honeybee, which is a threat, and a different signal for human,” in an interview with Vox. “Moreover, they distinguish between threatening humans and non-threatening humans,” she said. This technology can not only understand the animals, but also communicate back to them. For example, bees use dances to communicate to their peers to go in search of nectar (花蜜). A research team in Germany, therefore, plugged (插入) the bee language AI database system into a robot bee, allowing the robot to create a dance routine that can tell the bees which direction to move, Vox reported. Whereas in the past language creation had been limited to mainly apes, with there being many examples of chimpanzees having been taught sign language to communicate with humans. This new technology now allows humans to socialize with different animals throughout the animal kingdom. 41. What is the purpose of the quotation (引用) in Para 1? A. To recommend a new book about the benefits of using digital technology. B. To show the importance of using AI technology in socializing with animals. C. To complain about the distraction digital technology brings to humans. D. To introduce the topic and encourage the readers to read on for further information. 42. What do we know about coral? A. They communicate through infrasound. B. Their sounds are within our range of hearing. C. They have no ears and cannot pick up sound. D. Sound waves help baby coral choose their home. 43. Which of the following animals have different signals for different purposes? A. Coral. B. Whales. C. Elephants. D. Honeybees. 44. Why did researchers create the robot bee? A. To collect more bee dances. B. To show direction to bees. C To learn the language of bees. D. To help bees search for their friends. 45. What’s the writer’s attitude toward the application (应用) of the new technology? A. positive B. negative C. critical (批评的) D. doubtful C All I had to do for the two dollars was to clean her house for a few hours after school. It was a beautiful house, too, with a plastic-covered sofa and chairs, wall-to-wall blue-and-white carpeting, a white stove, a washing machine and a dryer—things that were common in Her neighborhood, absent in mine. In the middle of the Second World War, she had butter, sugar and steaks. Part of my pride in working for Her was earning money I could spend freely: on movies, candy, ice-cream... But a larger part of my pride was based on the fact that I gave half my wages to my mother, which meant some of my earnings were used for real things—an insurance-policy payment or what was owed to the milkman or the iceman. The pleasure of being necessary to my parents was great. I had a status (地位) that doing housework at home did not provide—and it earned me a slow smile, an approving nod from an adult. Confirmation that I was adult-like, not childlike. Little by little, I got better at cleaning Her house—good enough to be given more to do, much more for a little girl. I was ordered to carry bookcases upstairs and, once, to move a piano from one side of a room to the other. I wanted to refuse, or at least to complain, but I was afraid she would fire me, and I would lose the freedom the dollar gave me, as well as the status I had at home. Then one day, alone in the kitchen with my father, I let drop a few complaints about the job. I gave him details, examples of what troubled me, yet although he listened carefully, I saw no sympathy in his eyes. Perhaps he understood that what I wanted was a solution to the job, not an escape from it. In any case, he put down his cup of coffee and said, “Listen. You don’t live there. You live here. You make the job. It doesn’t make you.” I have worked for all sorts of people since then, geniuses and morons (笨蛋), quick-witted and dull, big-hearted and narrow. I’ve had many kinds of jobs, but since that conversation with my father I have never considered the level of labor to be the measure of myself, and I have never placed the security of a job above the value of home. 46. In Paragraph 1 the writer mentioned what there were in her house (the employer’s house) to ________. A. show a lifestyle at the time B. stress that the employer’s life was different from the writer’s C. demonstrate (阐述) her pride in working for the employer D. show the cleaning job was not easy for her 47. What was the writer most proud of with the cleaning job? A. Being able to buy things without asking her parents. B. Helping her mother out by doing housework. C. Making contributions to the family income. D. Getting smiles and approving nods from Her. 48. The writer complained to her father because ________. A. She hoped that he could negotiate with Her B. She didn’t know how to escape from the job C. She hoped that he could help solve her problem D. She didn’t know how to keep her status at home 49. “In those days, the forties, children were not just loved or liked; they were needed. I suspect that children aren’t needed in that way now. They are loved, doted on, protected, and helped. Fine, and yet…” should be placed between ________. A. Paragraph 1 and 2 B. Paragraph 2 and 3 C. Paragraph 3 and 4 D. Paragraph 4 and 5 50.

A. she should try various jobs to widen her horizons B. she should never ignore the freedom her earnings give her C. she should consider who she will work for while hunting for a job D. she should never judge herself by the work she does 卷Ⅱ主观题（满分50分） Ⅳ.

Let’s see the definition of this term: phubbing n. the act of snubbing (冷落) someone in a social setting by looking at your cellphone instead of paying attention. As you can probably guess, phubbing is a blend of phone and snubbing. The term was made by a 23-year-old Melbourne resident Alex Haigh. Obviously, he got fed up with how people are always checking Facebook or Twitter on their phones when they are supposed to be interacting with someone face to face. He wanted to put an end to this social phenomenon, therefore he came up with this catchy term. And it did catch on. The word’s earliest media mention dates back to June 2012, and in a little over a year’s time, phubbing has already been picked up by almost all the mainstream media outlets one can think of. Here is a typical example from the British newspaper The Independent. In the article titled The Rise of Phubbing, which was published on August 5, 2013, Tom Chatfield writes, there’s an uncomfortable truth at the heart of phubbing: They prefer to live in a virtual (虚拟的) world rather than talk to people around them. After the term phubbing has appeared, some people question why it is called phubbing instead of snubbing. Alex Haigh has not personally explained it, but “phubbing” sounds more vivid and thus easier to remember. Phubbing is indeed a universal problem that can no longer be ignored. So why do people keep phubbing each other even if they know it’s rude? Is there anything we can do to stop it? Or maybe we should just be more kind, because sometimes there are good excuses to phub. I think there is plenty we can do to try and stop phubbing. For starters, we can join Alex Haigh in his Stop Phubbing campaign. Remind our friends and family that phubbing is not appreciated. We can also make or download some anti-phubbing posters to spread the word in public places. And don’t forget that some phubbers simply do not realise the harmful effect their behavior has on others, so be brave enough to stop them, even if you are a total stranger. Are you a ___97___ The meaning of phubbing  We get the word phubbing by combining ___98___ with snubbing.  When phubbing happens, people just look at their cellphones without ___99___ other people.  To ___100___ this social phenomenon, Alex Haigh came up with the term. The history of phubbing  The term phubbing became ___101___ among nearly all the mainstream media in 2012 and 2013. One truth is that people like to live in a virtual world instead of ___102___ to others. The naming of phubbing  The term phubbing got in use because it was more vivid and could be remembered more ___103___ by us. The ___104___ to changing the situation  Remind people to ___105___ phubbing since it’s not appreciated.  Make more people aware of the ___106___ their behavior has caused. Fill in the blanks with proper words. The first letter of each word is given. On Aug 23, the Thai movie How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies (《姥姥的外孙》) hit screens on the Chinese mainland. Rated 9 out of 10 on the movie reviewing site Douban, it tells a touching and bittersweet family s___107___. In the movie, a young man called M volunteers to care for his dying grandma in the h___108___ of inheriting (继承) her fortune. But in the end, he finds that love and family matter f___109___ more than money. Revolving around (围绕) a typical Asian family, the movie c___110___ strongly with the Chinese audience and makes them think about their relatives. The grandma is a cancer p___111___ and down-to-earth person. She sells porridge at 5 am every day and hides her love for family in her a___112___. M, on the other hand, is a young boy who often thinks of himself first. A fun, lighthearted story with elements of sadness thus comes to life onscreen, drawing in the audience as the two family members develop a stronger b___113___. Without dramatic highs and l___114___, the movie shows how simple daily life scenes can bring out the extraordinary (非凡的) in the ordinary. After receiving cancer treatment, the grandma suffers s___115___ hair loss. One day, as she dozes off (打瞌睡) in a chair, a few strands of hair fall onto her clothes. M, who is sitting by her side, quietly picks them up and drops them on the floor. The sadness in his eyes says more than a thousand lines, t___116___ the audience with his compassion (同情) for his grandma’s pain. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 24—25年南外初三年级月考卷 英语阶段练习（一） 试卷总分：100分 考试时间：100分钟 卷Ⅰ客观题（满分50分） Please put your answers by filling in the correct boxes with 2B pencil on the multiple choice answer card.（请将以下选择题的答案用2B铅笔填在答题卡上。） Ⅰ.

A. which； that B. what； that C. that； which D. that； that 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：对于他正在做的事，我感到很生气，所以我走出来了。 考查固定搭配及关系代词的用法。which关系代词，指物。that关系代词，既可以指人也可以指物。已知先行词是不定代词all，则关系代词用that不用which。so...that...是固定搭配，意为“如此…以致…”。故选D。 6. She did ________ she could ________ me with my Chinese. A. what; help B. all; help C. what; to help D. that; to help 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：她尽她所能帮助我学习中文。 考查宾语从句和不定式。题干中的宾语从句中省略了动词do，连接代词that和what都能引导宾语从句，但that只能起连接作用，无实义；而what表示“所……之物”，既引导宾语从句，又在从句中作省略了的动词do的宾语，第一空用what；再根据“me with my Chinese”可知，这里是表示“为了帮助我”，表目的，第二空用动词不定式。故选C。 7. It was ________ I got back to my apartment ________ I first came across my new neighbors. A. when; who B. that; where C. that; which D. when; that 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：当我回到我的公寓时，我第一次遇到了我的新邻居。 考查强调句。when当……时；who谁；which哪一个；that那。分析句子结构可知，这是一个强调句，强调句的基本结构是“It is/was+被强调部分+that/who+其他部分”。根据“It was...I got back to my apartment”可知，此处强调“我回到公寓时”，所以应用“It was when...that...”结构。故选D。 8. The famous magician, as well as his assistants, ________ to perform at the China’s Got Talent in 2022. A. were invited B. have been invited C. was invited D. has been invited 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：这位著名的魔术师和他的助手们被邀请在2022年的《中国达人秀》上表演。 考查一般过去时的被动语态和主谓一致。根据“in 2022”可知，时态是一般过去时；主语和动词之间是被动关系，应用被动语态，所以空处应用一般过去时的被动语态，其结构是：was/were+过去分词；句中的“as well as”用于连接并列主语，谓语动词的数要与第一个主语“The famous magician”保持一致，“The famous magician”表示单数，所以此处应用be动词was。故选C。 9. He had the opportunity to spend two weeks with the Hadza (哈扎人) and said ________ with them changed the way ________ he looked at the world. A. that being; which B. being; which C. that being; / D. /; that. 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：他有机会与哈扎人共度两周，并表示与他们相处改变了他看待世界的方式。 考查宾语从句引导词和定语从句关系词。第一空，“said that...”是常用结构，“that”引导宾语从句，从句中“being with them”作主语，所以第一空填“that being”；第二空，“the way”作先行词，后面的定语从句“he looked at the world”中，关系词在从句中作状语，可省略，所以第二空不填。故选C。 10. ________ moved by what he had said, she sat there thinking ________ into the night. A. Deeply; deep B. Deep; deeply C. Deeply; deeply D. Deep; deep 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：被他所说的话深深感动，她坐在那沉思到深夜。 考查副词辨析。deeply深深地，用于修饰抽象概念；deep深地，侧重描述具体的空间深度或时间上的 “深入” 。根据 “moved” 为抽象意义的 “感动” 可知第一空应用deeply修饰，而由 “think” 可知第二空强调深入思考，表示时间上的 “深入”，故选A。 11. I wish you would do ________ talking and some more work. Thus things will become better. A. a bit less B. much fewer C. much more D. a little more 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：我希望你少说话、多做事。这样事情会变得更好。 考查形容词比较级。a bit less少一点；much fewer少得多，修饰可数名词复数；much more多得多；a little more多一点。根据“some more work”可知，talking应该也用比较级修饰。又根据句意：我希望你少说多做，这样的话，事情会变好一点。可排除选项C和D；much fewer接可数名词复数，排除B项。故选A。 12. Sarah ________ very shy when she was a child. Now she ________ in public after years of experience. A. used to be; used to speak B. used to be; is used to speaking C. is used to being; is used to speaking D. is used to being; used to speak 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：Sarah小时候很害羞，但现在经过多年的锻炼，她已经习惯在公开场合演讲了。 考查动词短语辨析。used to do sth.过去常常做某事；be used to doing sth.习惯于做某事。根据“when she was a child”可知，描述的是Sarah小时候的状态，因此需用used to be；根据“after years of experience.”可知，此处描述的是Sarah现在习惯于做的事情，需be used to doing sth.结构。故选B。 13. The boy ________ on the playground ________ to me that he ________ my coat on the grass. A. lying; lied; had laid B. lied; laying; had laid C. laid; lay; had lain D. lay; lied; has laid 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你认识操场上的那个男孩吗？——当然认识。那个躺在操场上的男孩对我撒谎说已经把外套放在草地上了。 考查动词的时态。 lying 是 lie（躺）的现在分词，作后置定语，表示“正躺在操场上的男孩”。 lied 是 lie（撒谎）的过去时，作谓语，表示“对我撒谎”。 had laid 是 lay（放置）的过去完成时，表示“已经把外套放好”。 选项 A 完全符合语法和语境，故选 A。 14. Americans eat ________ vegetables per person today as they did in 1910. A. more than twice as many B. twice more than C. twice as many as D. more than twice 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：如今，美国人每人吃的蔬菜量是1910年时的两倍多。 考查倍数表达法和形容词原级。根据“Americans eat…vegetables per person today as they did in 1910.”以及选项可知，美国人每人吃的蔬菜量是1910年时的两倍多，应用“倍数+as+形容词原级+as”表示“……是……的几倍”，A选项符合。故选A。 15. I was observing and copying the behaviors of my cat ________ my mom came in ________ with shock. A. when; freezing B. while; frozen C. when; frozen D. while; freezing 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：我正在观察和模仿我的猫的行为，这时我妈妈震惊地走进来，呆住了。 考查连词辨析和非谓语动词。when当……时候，从句中的动词可以是短暂性动词或延续性动词；while当……时候，从句中的动词常用延续性动词。分析句子结构可知，第一空所在句为“be doing...when...”结构，意为“正在……这时……”，所以第一空应用when；freezing是现在分词，意为“冻结的，冰冷的”，frozen是过去分词，意为“惊呆的，冻僵的”。根据语境可知，第二空所在句表示妈妈震惊地走进来，呆住了，所以第二空应用frozen，表示“惊呆的”。故选C。 16. —I didn’t do well in the exam. How about you? —I did ________ you. Both of us had to work harder. A. as well as B. no better than C. no more than D. the same as 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我考试没考好。你呢？——我考得并不比你强。我们俩都必须更努力地学习。 考查短语辨析。as well as和……一样好；no better than不比……好；no more than仅仅；the same as与……一样。根据“Both of us had to work harder.”可知，此处指的是“我考得并不比你强”，用no better than表示“不比……好”。故选B。 17. No knowledge taught by others has the same effect on you as ________ learned by yourself. A. one B. that C. those D. it 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：别人教给你的知识对你的影响都不如你自己学的。 考查代词用法。one这个，指代可数名词的单数形式；that那个，专门用于指代不可数名词或单数可数名词；those那些，指代复数可数名词；it它，用于指代前面提到的同一个特定事物。根据“No knowledge taught by others has the same effect on you as…learned by yourself.”可知，别人教给你的知识对你的影响都不如你自己学的，空处应用代词指代knowledge，其为不可数名词，需用that来指代。故选B。 18.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇关于教育理念的文章，强调师生关系的重要性。作者认为真正的学习需要建立在良好的人际关系上，教师应关注学生的情感需求，通过鼓励和真诚的沟通帮助学生建立自信，并坚信每个孩子都值得遇到永不放弃他们的教育者。文章展现了教育工作者的使命感和对教学的热情。 【21题详解】 句意：我的父母和祖父母都是老师，过去40年里我也做着同样的工作。 headmasters校长；teachers老师；doctors医生；psychologists心理学家。根据“I have spent my entire life at school. My parents and my grandparents were...and for the past 40 years I’ve done the same thing.”可知，我和家人的职业与学校相关，因此作者父母和祖父母应该是“老师”，故选B。 【22题详解】 句意：但我们很少讨论的事情之一，是人与人之间联结的价值和重要性。 influence影响；importance重要性；connection联结；communication交流。根据“But one of the things that we rarely discuss is the value and importance of human...”以及后文多次提到的“the power of connection”即“联结的力量”可知，此处表示人与人之间的“联结”，故选C。 【23题详解】 句意：詹姆斯・科默说，没有深厚的关系，就不会有有意义的学习。 relationship关系；idea想法；method方法；impression印象。根据“James Comer says that no significant learning can happen without a significant...”以及前文提到“human connection（人际联结）”，此处与该话题呼应，强调“关系”对学习的重要性，且后文也围绕“build a relationship（建立关系）”展开，故选A。 【24题详解】 句意：他们付我钱不是让我喜欢这些孩子的，是让我教课的。 help帮助；influence影响；like喜欢；understand理解。根据“They don’t pay me to...the kids. They pay me to teach a lesson.”以及后文作者的回应“kids don’t learn from people they hate”可知，同事认为自己的职责不是“喜欢孩子”，而是单纯教课，故选C。 【25题详解】 句意：然后我对她说：“亲爱的，那你的这一年会变得漫长又艰难。” tough艰难的；boring无聊的；disappointing令人失望的；meaningless无意义的。根据“And I said to her, ‘well, your year is going to be long and...dear.’”以及前文“kids don’t learn from people they hate”可知，若老师不与孩子建立良好关系，孩子不愿学习，老师的工作会变得“艰难”，故选A。 【26题详解】 句意：他说你应该只用一些简单的方法，比如先努力去理解和道歉，而不是寻求被理解。 simple简单的；normal正常的；professional专业的；daily日常的。根据“He said you ought to use just a few...things, like seeking first to understand and...rather than being understood.”可知，句中列举的“seeking first to understand（先努力理解）”和“Tell a kid you’re sorry（跟孩子说抱歉）”都是容易做到的“简单”方法，故选A。 【27题详解】 句意：他说你应该只用一些简单的方法，比如先努力去理解和道歉，而不是寻求被理解。 regret后悔；apologize道歉；admit承认；correct纠正。根据“He said you ought to use just a few...things, like seeking first to understand and...rather than being understood.”以及后文作者举例“I taught the whole lesson wrong.

Reading comprehension (1'*15=15') A Mastering time management is an extremely important skill that can increase productivity and reduce stress, especially for beginners. Here are some straightforward strategies to help you get started: 1. Prioritize Tasks: Begin by listing all the tasks you need to complete in a period. Then, categorize them into ‘urgent’, ‘important’ and ‘can wait’. Focus on completing the urgent and important tasks first. The Eisenhower Box (艾森豪威尔矩阵) is a useful method for recognizing the difference between tasks that require immediate attention and those that can be scheduled for later. It can help you prioritize your tasks and focus on what is most important. 2. Break Tasks into Smaller Steps: Large tasks can seem overwhelming (让人不知所措). Break them down into smaller, more manageable steps. This method not only makes the task seem more achievable but also provides a clear road map of what needs to be done. 3. Use a Planner: Whether it’s a digital app or a traditional paper planner, use what works best for you. Record all your tasks, appointments, and deadlines. Checking off completed tasks can also provide a sense of accomplishment and motivate you to keep going. 4. Set Time Limits: Allocate (分配) specific time blocks for each task. This technique, known as time-blocking, helps prevent procrastination (拖延) and keeps you focused on the task at hand. Remember to include short breaks to recharge, following methods like the Pomodoro Technique (25 minutes of work followed by a 5-minute break). 5. Avoid Multitasking: While it might seem efficient, multitasking often leads to lower-quality work and more stress. Focus on one task at a time for better results. 6. Reflect and Adjust (调整)： At the end of each day or week, reflect on what you completed and what could be improved. Adjust your strategies accordingly. Time management is a personal journey, and what works for one person may not work for another. By incorporating (包含) these simple strategies into your daily routine, you can take control of your time, reduce stress, and improve your overall productivity. Remember, time management is a skill that improves with practice, so be patient with yourself as you find the methods that work best for you. 36. What does the underlined word ‘prioritize’ probably mean? A. To put tasks, problems, etc. in order of importance. B. To have influence or power within a group. C. To improve the quality of something. D. To bring about a good impression. 37. Look at The Eisenhower Box below, which one do you think should be put in Q1? THE EISENHOWER BOX A. DO IT NOW B. PLAN IT C. DELEGATE (委托) IT D. DROP IT 38. Why do we need to break tasks into smaller steps? A. Because it can make us feel relaxed. B. Because it is possible for you to succeed in doing them. C. Because you will understand better the things that you need to do. D. Both B&C. 39. Which of the following situation should be avoided? A. Use a digital app to make a plan. B. Focus on several tasks at a time. C. Take a break for 5 minutes after working for 25 minutes. D. Think carefully about what you have done and try to improve it. 40. According to the passage, in order to manage time well, you need to ________. A. encourage yourself B. learn all the strategies well C. increase productivity and reduce stress D. find the method that suits you best and keep practicing 【答案】36. A 37. A 38. D 39. B 40. D 【解析】 【导语】本文就如何把握时间管理给出几点建议。 【36题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“Prioritize Tasks...Begin by listing all the tasks you need to complete in a period…Then, categorize them into ‘urgent’, ‘important’ and ‘can wait’. …”首先列出一段时间内需要完成的所有任务，然后，将它们分为“紧急”、“重要”和“可以等待”；可知，此处指“把任务、问题等按重要性排序”。故选A。 【37题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Prioritize Tasks...Focus on completing the urgent and important tasks first. The Eisenhower Box is a useful method for recognizing the difference between tasks that require immediate attention and those that can be scheduled for later.”可知，在艾森豪威尔矩阵，紧急且重要的事务应立即处理 (“Do it now”)，即Q1区域。故选A。 【38题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Break Tasks into Smaller Steps...This method not only makes the task seem more achievable but also provides a clear road map of what needs to be done.” 将任务分解为更小的步骤，这种方法不仅使任务看起来更容易实现，而且为需要做什么提供了明确的路线图。可知，选项D正确。故选D。 【39题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Avoid Multitasking…Focus on one task at a time for better results”可知，要避免多任务同时进行，即不要一次关注多个任务。故选B。 【40题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“…so be patient with yourself as you find the methods that work best for you” 时间管理方法因人而异，需不断练习并找到最适合自己的方式；可知，选项D“找到适合自己的方法并坚持练习”符合文意。故选D。 B Technology usually distracts us from nature. But now technology is “offering us an opportunity to listen to non-humans in powerful ways, reviving our connection to the natural world,” wrote Professor Karen Bakker in her new book, The Sounds of Life: How Digital Technology Is Bringing Us Closer to the Worlds of Animals and Plants. All around the animal kingdom, there are sounds that we struggle to pick up and decipher. Elephants, for example, communicate with each other using infrasound, a sound frequency far below our human hearing range. Coral in the ocean also communicates with each other through sound waves, with one purpose being to attract baby coral to areas where it can successfully grow. This is a shocking fact as coral doesn’t have any ears! Scientists have placed listening devices in these environments to pick up sounds humans are normally unable to detect. After the sounds are recorded, AI is then able to determine their meaning, according to the news website Vox. There are now whole databases of whale songs and honeybee dances. Bakker wrote that one day this information could be turned into “a zoological version of Google Translate”. One animal language Bakker wrote about is that of the elephant. She explained how elephants “have a different signal for honeybee, which is a threat, and a different signal for human,” in an interview with Vox. “Moreover, they distinguish between threatening humans and non-threatening humans,” she said. This technology can not only understand the animals, but also communicate back to them. For example, bees use dances to communicate to their peers to go in search of nectar (花蜜). A research team in Germany, therefore, plugged (插入) the bee language AI database system into a robot bee, allowing the robot to create a dance routine that can tell the bees which direction to move, Vox reported. Whereas in the past language creation had been limited to mainly apes, with there being many examples of chimpanzees having been taught sign language to communicate with humans. This new technology now allows humans to socialize with different animals throughout the animal kingdom. 41. What is the purpose of the quotation (引用) in Para 1? A. To recommend a new book about the benefits of using digital technology. B. To show the importance of using AI technology in socializing with animals. C. To complain about the distraction digital technology brings to humans. D. To introduce the topic and encourage the readers to read on for further information. 42. What do we know about coral? A. They communicate through infrasound. B. Their sounds are within our range of hearing. C. They have no ears and cannot pick up sound. D Sound waves help baby coral choose their home. 43. Which of the following animals have different signals for different purposes? A. Coral. B. Whales. C. Elephants. D. Honeybees. 44. Why did researchers create the robot bee? A. To collect more bee dances. B. To show direction to bees. C. To learn the language of bees. D. To help bees search for their friends. 45. What’s the writer’s attitude toward the application (应用) of the new technology? A. positive B. negative C. critical (批评) D. doubtful 【答案】41. D 42. D 43. C 44. B 45. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了卡伦·巴克教授在其新书《生命之声》中提出的“科技可助人类倾听非人类声音、重建与自然联系”的观点，及相关技术应用案例。 【41题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Technology usually distracts us from nature. But now technology is offering us an opportunity to listen to non-humans in powerful ways, reviving our connection to the natural world,” 可知，作者在开篇引用卡伦·巴克教授新书的观点，提出科技可助人类倾听非人类声音、重建与自然联系，所以判断作者在文章开头提出论点并希望读者继续往下读。故选D。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Coral in the ocean also communicates with each other through sound waves, with one purpose being to attract baby coral to areas where it can successfully grow.” 可知，珊瑚通过声波交流，目的是吸引幼珊瑚到能成功长大的地方，即选择适合他们长大的家。故选D。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“She explained how elephants ‘have a different signal for honeybee, which is a threat, and a different signal for human, ’ in an interview with Vox. ‘Moreover, they distinguish between threatening humans and non-threatening humans,’” 可知，大象对有威胁的蜜蜂，对人类有不同的信号。故选C。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“A research team in Germany, therefore, plugged the bee language AI database system into a robot bee, allowing the robot to create a dance routine that can tell the bees which direction to move,” 可知，研究人员创造蜜蜂机器人是为了向蜜蜂传达移动的方向。故选B。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“This new technology now allows humans to socialize with different animals throughout the animal kingdom.”及全文可推断，作者看好新技术在研究动物交流方面的当下与前景，态度是积极的。故选A。 C All I had to do for the two dollars was to clean her house for a few hours after school. It was a beautiful house, too, with a plastic-covered sofa and chairs, wall-to-wall blue-and-white carpeting, a white stove, a washing machine and a dryer—things that were common in Her neighborhood, absent in mine. In the middle of the Second World War, she had butter, sugar and steaks. Part of my pride in working for Her was earning money I could spend freely: on movies, candy, ice-cream... But a larger part of my pride was based on the fact that I gave half my wages to my mother, which meant some of my earnings were used for real things—an insurance-policy payment or what was owed to the milkman or the iceman. The pleasure of being necessary to my parents was great. I had a status (地位) that doing housework at home did not provide—and it earned me a slow smile, an approving nod from an adult. Confirmation that I was adult-like, not childlike. Little by little, I got better at cleaning Her house—good enough to be given more to do, much more for a little girl. I was ordered to carry bookcases upstairs and, once, to move a piano from one side of a room to the other. I wanted to refuse, or at least to complain, but I was afraid she would fire me, and I would lose the freedom the dollar gave me, as well as the status I had at home. Then one day, alone in the kitchen with my father, I let drop a few complaints about the job. I gave him details, examples of what troubled me, yet although he listened carefully, I saw no sympathy in his eyes. Perhaps he understood that what I wanted was a solution to the job, not an escape from it. In any case, he put down his cup of coffee and said, “Listen. You don’t live there. You live here. You make the job. It doesn’t make you.” I have worked for all sorts of people since then, geniuses and morons (笨蛋), quick-witted and dull, big-hearted and narrow. I’ve had many kinds of jobs, but since that conversation with my father I have never considered the level of labor to be the measure of myself, and I have never placed the security of a job above the value of home. 46.

B 47. C 48. C 49. B 50. D 【解析】 【导语】本文记述了作者童年时通过打工补贴家用的经历，以及父亲“工作不定义自我价值”的教诲对其职业生涯的深远影响。 【46题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“It was a beautiful house, too, with a plastic-covered sofa and chairs, wall-to-wall blue-and-white carpeting, a white stove, a washing machine and a dryer—things that were common in Her neighborhood, absent in mine.”可知，作者详细描述了雇主家优渥的居家环境，并说明了自家环境不如雇主家，是为了强调雇主的生活与自己的生活有所不同。故选B。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“But a larger part of my pride was based on the fact that I gave half my wages to my mother, which meant some of my earnings were used for real things—an insurance-policy payment or what was owed to the milkman or the iceman.”可知，作者为自己的工作最自豪的原因是，她可以通过打工补贴家用。故选C。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Perhaps he understood that what I wanted was a solution to the job, not an escape from it. ”可知，作者向父亲抱怨工作是希望他能帮助自己解决工作中的问题。故选C。 【49题详解】 推理判断题。第二段的结尾“I had a status that doing housework at home did not provide—and it earned me a slow smile, an approving nod from an adult. Confirmations that I was adult-like, not childlike.”可知，这证明我更像成年人，而不是小孩子，与“孩子需要被认可”的主题直接呼应，形成自然过渡；第三段中的“Little by little, I got better at cleaning Her house—good enough to be given more to do, much more for a little girl. I was ordered to carry bookcases upstairs and, once, to move a piano from one side of a room to the other.”开始描述工作压力，插入此段可先通过时代对比强化“被需要”的深层意义，再引出后续矛盾，逻辑更顺畅。所以本段插入在第二段和第三段之间比较合理。故选B。 【50题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其根据最后一段中“since that conversation with my father I have never considered the level of labor to be the measure of myself, and I have never placed the security of a job above the value of home”可知，从自己的童年经历中，作者明白了“工作不定义自我价值”的道理，与D项表述相符。故选D。 卷Ⅱ主观题（满分50分） Ⅳ.

When ________ ________ happened ________ the pod, they immediately knew if one of them ________ ________ ________. 【答案】 ①. involved ②. that ③. something ④. unusual ⑤. to ⑥. was ⑦. in ⑧. trouble 【解析】 【详解】根据中英文对照可知，第一空表示“涉及”，involve“涉及”，动词，此处用过去式involved。第二空用“that”引导定语从句，修饰前面的名词“ways”。第三四空表示“一些不寻常的事”，用形容词unusual“不同寻常的”修饰不定代词“something”，形容词放在something之后。第五空表示“发生”，happen to“在某人或某物身上发生”，因此填介词to。第六七八空表示“遇到了麻烦”，be in trouble“陷入困难”，为固定短语；此处“one of them”作主语，动词用单数形式，且为一般过去时，因此be动词用was。故填involved；that；something；unusual；to；was；in；trouble。 95. 蜜蜂被称为授粉者，(他们)能够轻易地感知到空气中的轻微变化，这有助于它们找到花朵和收集花粉。 Bees, ________ ________ the pollinators, can easily ________ the ________ movement in the air, which helps them to locate flowers and collect pollen. 【答案】 ①. known ②. as ③. sense ④. slight 【解析】 【详解】根据句意可知，第一二空表示“被称为”，用短语“known as”，在句中作状语，且位于句首，首字母大写，所以第一空填known，第二空填as；第三空表示“感知”，在情态动词can后用动词原形“sense”；第四空表示“轻微的”，用形容词“slight”修饰名词“movement”。故填known；as；sense；slight。 96. 你能支持你的朋友，并帮助他们度过一段艰难时期，这很了不起。这就是朋友的意义。 It is cool ________ you to ________ ________ your friends and help them go through a difficult time.

The word I’m going to introduce to you today is phubbing. Let’s see the definition of this term: phubbing n. the act of snubbing (冷落) someone in a social setting by looking at your cellphone instead of paying attention. As you can probably guess, phubbing is a blend of phone and snubbing. The term was made by a 23-year-old Melbourne resident Alex Haigh. Obviously, he got fed up with how people are always checking Facebook or Twitter on their phones when they are supposed to be interacting with someone face to face. He wanted to put an end to this social phenomenon, therefore he came up with this catchy term. And it did catch on. The word’s earliest media mention dates back to June 2012, and in a little over a year’s time, phubbing has already been picked up by almost all the mainstream media outlets one can think of. Here is a typical example from the British newspaper The Independent. In the article titled The Rise of Phubbing, which was published on August 5, 2013, Tom Chatfield writes, there’s an uncomfortable truth at the heart of phubbing: They prefer to live in a virtual (虚拟的) world rather than talk to people around them. After the term phubbing has appeared, some people question why it is called phubbing instead of snubbing. Alex Haigh has not personally explained it, but “phubbing” sounds more vivid and thus easier to remember. Phubbing is indeed a universal problem that can no longer be ignored. So why do people keep phubbing each other even if they know it’s rude? Is there anything we can do to stop it? Or maybe we should just be more kind, because sometimes there are good excuses to phub. I think there is plenty we can do to try and stop phubbing. For starters, we can join Alex Haigh in his Stop Phubbing campaign. Remind our friends and family that phubbing is not appreciated. We can also make or download some anti-phubbing posters to spread the word in public places. And don’t forget that some phubbers simply do not realise the harmful effect their behavior has on others, so be brave enough to stop them, even if you are a total stranger.
