The information below will tell you about each. SmarTrip Cards You will need a SmarTrip card to enter and exit the DC Metro system. A SmarTrip card is required for each rider aged 5 and older. Cards cannot be shared, so each rider needs their own. Note that up to two children under age five may travel free with each fare-paying adult. SmarTrip cards can be ordered online, or you can buy a card at the station. They cost $15 each, with the price covering $2 for the card itself and a preloaded $13 credit. Pay-As-You-Go Another way to travel is by paying as you go. There is no set fare (车费) for all trips, as fares between stations depend on the distance, the day, and the time. The system does charge less at certain times. From 5:00 am until 9:30 pm on weekdays, the cost will land between $2.25 and $6. After 9:30 pm on weekdays and over weekends, there will be a flat rate of $2.25. 1-Day and 3-Day Passes If you don’t want to worry about loading your card throughout the day, you can purchase a 1-day pass for $13/person or a 3-day pass for $28/person. There are no travel restrictions so you can use this pass anytime and without additional charges. This may seem like a great deal. The farther out your hotel or accommodations are, the better off this deal will be. For most people, a one-or three-day pass makes sense only if you plan to make more than two longer-distance round trips daily. Remember that all Metrorail trips are a flat $2.25 fare on Saturdays and Sundays, so a pass is usually not the best deal if you use Metro mostly on weekends. You are better off paying as you go. 1. What do we know about a SmarTrip card? A. It contains $15 for Metro fare. B. It can be purchased online. C. It can be shared with children. D. It is free of charge for children. 2. Which of the following would be the most cost-effective time to use the pay-as-you-go option? A. At 8:00 am on Saturday. B. At 8:00 am on Monday. C. At 7:00 pm on Thursday. D. At 7:00 pm on Tuesday. 3. What is a key advantage of the 1-day pass? A. It can actually be used for three days. B. It costs $2.25 on Saturdays and Sundays. C. It provides unlimited Metro travel throughout the day. D. It allows you to make a long-distance round trip. 【答案】1. B 2. A 3. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍了在华盛顿特区乘坐地铁的几种付费方式，包括SmarTrip卡、随用随付以及1日票和3日票等，并详细说明了每种方式的特点和使用条件。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据SmarTrip Cards部分中的“SmarTrip cards can be ordered online, or you can buy a card at the station. (SmarTrip卡可以在线订购，也可以在车站购买。)”可知，SmarTrip卡可以在网上购买。故选B项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Pay-As-You-Go部分中的“The system does charge less at certain times. From 5:00 am until 9:30 pm on weekdays, the cost will land between $2.25 and $6. After 9:30 pm on weekdays and over weekends, there will be a flat rate of $2.25. (该系统在某些时段收费较低。在工作日的早上5点到晚上9点半，费用将在2.25美元到6美元之间。在工作日晚上9点半以后和周末，费用将是固定的2.25美元。)”可知，随用随付的选项在工作日晚上9点半以后和周末的费用是固定的2.25美元，比较便宜。A项“At 8:00 am on Saturday. (周六早上8点)”属于周末的时间段，此时费用是固定的2.25美元，是最省钱的使用随用随付选项的时间。故选A项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据1−Dayand3−DayPasses部分中的“If you don’t want to worry about loading your card throughout the day, you can purchase a 1-day pass for $13/person or a 3-day pass for $28/person. There are no travel restrictions so you can use this pass anytime and without additional charges. (如果你不想一整天都担心给卡充值，你可以购买13美元/人的1日票或28美元/人的3日票。没有旅行限制，所以你可以随时使用这张票，而且没有额外费用。)”可知，1日票的关键优势是它提供了一整天的无限次地铁旅行，没有旅行限制，且无需额外费用。故选C项。 B Scientists and artists have a lot to learn from each other. That’s why The Flow Project was started at the University of Wisconsin — Madison in 2021 as part of Water@UW — Madison. The Flow Project is still going today, and it pairs undergraduate artists with water scientists to create art pieces inspired by water, ranging from paintings and drawings, clothes and sculptures, to dance and music. Their work highlights the value of art not only as a tool to communicate science, but also as a way to inspire new science. Aakriti Bagchi, an undergraduate student studying fashion design, was paired with Yuan Liu, a third-year PhD student in environmental engineering who studies storms and flooding in the Mississippi River Basin. Liu generates computer models of storms caused by atmospheric rivers, which are large amounts of water vapor (水蒸气) that move on to land from tropical seas. His models aim to predict flood outcomes from these storms in the Mississippi River Basin. Patterns and designs from Liu’s research inspired visual elements that Bagchi transformed into a wearable jacket. She designed the jacket with blue and brown yarns (纱线) through white fabric to present the multiple layers of water vapor involved in the storms Liu studies. The front of the jacket showcases patches (块) of fabric to form a map of the river basin. Bagchi chose each patch to represent the basin’s various regions. “There’s so much you can do with fashion,” Bagchi says. “You can do all your research and you can find crazy solutions. And finding ways to show your thoughts in a creative sense or just in a very clear way is very important.” But Bagchi’s art wasn’t the only thing inspired by the cooperation. Liu says talking with Bagchi throughout the process and seeing how she approaches problems encouraged him to take a step back and consider new approaches to his own work. “I think it does shift a little bit of the focus when I’m doing research from just thinking about all those details, those mathematics, to some of the big pictures,” Liu says. “That’s pretty important actually, for you to become a better scientist.” 4. How does The Flow Project work? A. One artist works with different scientists. B. One scientist works with a group of artists. C. One artist and one scientist work as a group. D. A group of scientists and artists work together. 5. What is the purpose of Liu’s computer models? A. To predict the impacts of flooding. B. To understand the causes of storms. C. To facilitate cooperation with artists. D. To assist in fashion designs. 6. What can the jacket designed by Bagchi be considered as? A. The result of a scientific study. B. An innovation in fashion design. C. A combination of art and science. D. A call for environmental protection. 7. What do Liu’s words in the last two paragraphs focus on? A. How he improves his work. B. What Bagchi’s art really means. C. What he will do to be a better scientist. D. How he has benefited from the project. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了2021年美国威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校 “流动项目”（The Flow Project）的发起背景、运作模式及实例，展现了艺术与科学相互启发、共同促进的价值。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The Flow Project is still going today, and it pairs undergraduate artists with water scientists to create art pieces inspired by water, ranging from paintings and drawings, clothes and sculptures, to dance and music.(“流动项目”至今仍在开展，它将本科生艺术家与水科学家配对，创作以水为灵感的艺术作品，形式涵盖绘画、服装、雕塑，乃至舞蹈和音乐)”可知，该项目采用“一名艺术家与一名科学家组成一组合作”的模式。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Liu generates computer models of storms caused by atmospheric rivers, which are large amounts of water vapor (水蒸气) that move on to land from tropical seas. His models aim to predict flood outcomes from these storms in the Mississippi River Basin.(刘制作了由大气河流引起的风暴的计算机模型，大气河流是由大量的水汽从热带海洋移动到陆地。他的模型旨在预测密西西比河流域这些风暴引发的洪水结果)”可知，刘的计算机模型目的是预测洪水带来的影响。故选A。 6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Patterns and designs from Liu’s research inspired visual elements that Bagchi transformed into a wearable jacket.(刘研究中的图案和设计启发了视觉元素，巴奇将这些元素转化为一件可穿着的夹克)”以及第六段对夹克设计理念（结合洪水研究中的水蒸气层次、河流流域地图的描述）可知，这件夹克是艺术家巴奇受科学家刘的研究启发创作的，融合了科学元素与艺术形式，是艺术与科学的结合体。故选C。 【7题详解】 主旨理解题。根据倒数第二段“Liu says talking with Bagchi throughout the process and seeing how she approaches problems encouraged him to take a step back and consider new approaches to his own work.(刘说，在整个过程中与巴奇交流，观察她解决问题的方式，鼓励他退一步思考自己工作的新方法)”和最后一段““I think it does shift a little bit of the focus when I’m doing research from just thinking about all those details, those mathematics, to some of the big pictures,” Liu says. “That’s pretty important actually, for you to become a better scientist.”(刘说：“我认为，当我在做研究时，它确实把我的注意力从仅仅考虑所有这些细节、那些数学问题转移到了一些宏观层面的东西。”“事实上，这对你成为一名更好的科学家来说非常重要。”)”可知，刘的话重点讲述了通过该项目，自己在研究思路和关注点上获得的收获，即从项目中受益的情况。故选 D。 C As Einstein once said: “The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination.” It’s difficult to imagine where humankind would be without it. Actually, we all have imaginative ability to various degrees, based on three different but interlinked types of imagination. “Creative imagination” is what we normally consider to be creativity with a large C. And there are two phases to creative imagination. “Divergent thinking” is the ability to think of a wide variety of ideas, all somehow connected to a main problem or topic. It is supported by intuitive (直觉的) thinking, which is fast and automatic. You then need “convergent thinking” to help you evaluate the ideas for usefulness within the main problem or topic. This process is supported by analytical thinking — which is slow and deliberate — allowing us to select the right idea. For many people, the ability to become completely absorbed by an idea is key to finalizing a successful, creative project. For that you need something scientists call “fantastical imagination”, which describes your tendency to have highly vivid fantasies and level of absorption in imaginary worlds. However given that one’s fantastic imagination can increase daydreaming and tends to increase as a response to painful events by becoming an escape from reality, it may not seem like a desirable ability to have, at first glance. There are benefits, however. Fantasy engagement in children is associated with increased creative imagination. For adults, it may help improve creative problem-solving and planning. “Episodic imagination” is similar to fantastic imagination but mainly makes use of real memory details rather than imaginary details when visualizing events in our mind’s eye. This helps individuals to better imagine alternative pasts and learn from their mistakes, or imagine their futures and prepare for them. Research shows that individuals with a higher capacity for visual imagery experience more sensory details when imagining their future. Though many self-improvement books claim “imagine it and it will happen”, this is actually the opposite of what you should be doing. The best preparation for the future is to imagine the process — not the outcome — of your desired future event. One study showed that when students imagined desired outcomes (good grades for an upcoming test) they performed significantly worse than students who imagined the process of getting to the desired outcomes (imagining studying thoroughly). Perhaps now you have something to keep in mind for your New Year’s resolutions? 8. What role does divergent thinking play in creative imagination? A. It helps to solve a wide variety of problems. B. It provides various ideas for convergent thinking. C. It evaluates different solutions to a problem. D. It turns intuitive thinking into analytical thinking. 9. Why is fantastic imagination needed when completing a creative project? A. It facilitates deep engagement with the project. B. It fills you with the desire to create. C. It stops you from escaping into daydreams. D. It enhances the ability to plan ahead. 10. How is episodic imagination different from fantastic imagination? A It’s less detailed. B. It’s more realistic. C. It’s less creative. D. It’s more effective. 11. What does “something” underlined in the last paragraph probably indicate? A. How you will achieve your goal. B. What goal you want to achieve. C. What future events will affect you. D. How future events will take place. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人类想象力的三种类型及其在创造力和问题解决中的作用。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中““Divergent thinking” is the ability to think of a wide variety of ideas, all somehow connected to a main problem or topic. It is supported by intuitive  (直觉的) thinking, which is fast and automatic. You then need “convergent thinking” to help you evaluate the ideas for usefulness within the main problem or topic.(“发散思维”是指能够想出多种多样的想法，而这些想法都能与主要问题或主题产生某种联系。它由快速且自动化的直觉思维提供支持。然后，你需要“聚合思维”来帮助你评估这些想法在主要问题或主题中的实用性)”可知，发散思维为聚合思维提供了各种想法。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“For many people, the ability to become completely absorbed by an idea is key to finalizing a successful, creative project. For that you need something scientists call “fantastical imagination”, which describes your tendency to have highly vivid fantasies and level of absorption in imaginary worlds.(对于许多人而言，能够完全沉浸于一个想法是完成一个成功且富有创意的项目的重要因素。为此，你需要具备科学家们所称的“奇幻想象力”，它描述了你倾向于产生高度生动的幻想，并能在想象的世界中全神贯注)”可知，完成创意项目时需要奇幻想象力，是因为它能让人深度投入项目。故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中““Episodic imagination” is similar to fantastic imagination but mainly makes use of real memory details rather than imaginary details when visualizing events in our mind’s eye.(“情景想象力”与“奇幻想象力”相似，但在想象事件时主要利用真实的记忆细节，而不是想象的细节)”可知，情景想象力比奇幻想象力更真实。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The best preparation for the future is to imagine the process — not the outcome — of your desired future event. One study showed that when students imagined desired outcomes (good grades for an upcoming test) they performed significantly worse than students who imagined the process of getting to the desired outcomes (imagining studying thoroughly).(为未来做最好的准备，是设想你所期望的未来事件的过程，而非其结果。一项研究表明，当学生设想期望的结果（即将到来的考试取得好成绩）时，他们的表现明显不如那些设想达到期望结果的过程（设想自己彻底学习）的学生)”可知，为未来做准备的最佳方式是想象实现目标的过程，而非结果。最后一段中划线词something指的是如何实现目标，即想象实现目标的过程。故选A。 D A new web resource, developed by researchers at the University of York, allows young people to see what challenges the earliest human ancestors, or later relatives like the Neanderthals, would have faced in keeping their community fully functioning. For example, they can find a description of a Neanderthal suffering from severe disabilities along with evidence of the challenges faced, as noted in the archaeological (考古) record, under the heading “Did anyone care if someone was ill or weak?” Dr Penny Spikins, from the University of York’s Department of Archaeology, said: “The web resource challenges our perceptions of the past as competitive, populated only by the strong, towards a more realistic version of prehistory in which individuals cared for each other, and where the support of weaknesses and differences made humans successful.” Research has shown that it is during teenage years that complex emotional capacities and capacities for complex moral judgments develop. Archaeologists at York investigated whether these complex emotions could be better understood if schools could help young people explore where some of our emotional processes came from. Dr Spikins said: “Findings related to cultural practices suggest that Neanderthals had a system of caring for their sick and injured, as well as women who needed help in childbirth. This sort of care would have meant difficult strategic, as well as emotional, decisions had to be made, which impacted on an individual’s relationship with others and ultimately their survival as a species.” “This made us wonder whether challenging the assumption that our evolutionary past was defined by uncaring behaviors, would make us think differently about how we understand the decisions we make that impact on our own personal health and well-being today. In many ways talking about the distant past can also provide a safe place in which to discuss how complicated and difficult our emotions can be.” “One million years ago it would have been so much easier for a group of early humans to abandon a woman with severe disabilities. We know, however, that they were prepared to risk being attacked by predators (捕食性动物) to look after her.” “We hope that this resource will task young people with asking — why? — and give them a chance to think about what this tells us about human life today.” 12. What kind of person is the Neanderthal in paragraph 2 described as in the web resource? A. A person who had a good relationship with others. B. A person who kept their community working. C. A person who provided care in their community. D. A person who was looked after by others. 13. What is the misunderstanding about early humans, according to the text? A. They provided support for each other. B. They shared the care of their children. C. They suffered from unstable relationships. D. They were competitive and uncaring. 14. What is the significance of early humans’ concept of community? A. It protected humans from predators. B. It led to the formation of competitive groups. C. It helped humans to survive and develop. D. It increased human knowledge of disabilities. 15. What is the main feature of the new web resource? A. Presenting a variety of knowledge of prehistory. B. Connecting human life today to our distant past. C. Showing the developments in human emotions over time. D. Reminding teenagers of the lives of early humans. 【答案】12. D 13. D 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了约克大学研究人员开发的新网络资源，帮助年轻人了解早期人类祖先及尼安德特人等面临的挑战，并探讨其对现代人类生活的影响。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“For example, they can find a description of a Neanderthal suffering from severe disabilities along with evidence of the challenges faced, as noted in the archaeological (考古的) record, under the heading “Did anyone care if someone was ill or weak?”(例如，他们可以在考古记录中，在“有人关心过生病或体弱的人吗？”这一标题下，找到对患有严重残疾的尼安德特人的描述，以及他们所面临的挑战的证据)”可知，网络资源中描述的尼安德特人是一个患有严重残疾，需要别人照顾的人。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Dr Penny Spikins, from the University of York’s Department of Archaeology, said: “The web resource challenges our perceptions of the past as competitive, populated only by the strong, towards a more realistic version of prehistory in which individuals cared for each other, and where the support of weaknesses and differences made humans successful.”(约克大学考古学系的彭妮・斯皮金斯博士表示：“这一网络资源挑战了我们对过去的固有认知 —— 即认为过去是充满竞争、只有强者才能生存的时代；它为我们呈现了一个更贴近真实的史前图景：在那个时代，人们彼此关怀，而对弱者的扶持以及对个体差异的包容，正是人类能够取得成功的关键”)”可知，对早期人类的误解是他们具有竞争性且不关心他人。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中“This sort of care would have meant difficult strategic, as well as emotional, decisions had to be made, which impacted on an individual’s relationship with others and ultimately their survival as a species.(这种照顾意味着必须做出困难的战略和情感决策，这会影响一个人与他人的关系，并最终影响他们作为一个物种的生存)”以及第六段中“This made us wonder whether challenging the assumption that our evolutionary past was defined by uncaring behaviors, would make us think differently about how we understand the decisions we make that impact on our own personal health and well-being today.(这让我们思考，挑战我们的进化过去是由冷漠行为定义的假设，是否会让我们以不同的方式思考我们如何理解今天对我们个人健康和福祉产生影响的决策)”可推知，早期人类的社区观念帮助人类生存和发展。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“A new web resource, developed by researchers at the University of York, allows young people to see what challenges the earliest human ancestors, or later relatives like the Neanderthals, would have faced in keeping their community fully functioning.(由约克大学的研究人员开发的一个新网络资源，让年轻人能够了解最早的人类祖先或后来的近亲（如尼安德特人）在维持其社区全面运转方面会面临哪些挑战)”以及最后一段“We hope that this resource will task young people with asking — why? — and give them a chance to think about what this tells us about human life today.(我们希望这个资源能让年轻人思考——为什么？——并给他们一个机会去思考这对我们今天的人类生活意味着什么)”以及全文内容可知，新网络资源的主要特点是将人类今天的生活与我们遥远的过去联系起来。故选B。 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选项。 The 80/20 rule is the principle that 20% of what you do results in 80% of your outcomes. ___16___ Because so much of your output is determined by a relatively small amount of what you do each day, focusing on the most productive tasks will result in greater output. You can’t use the 80/20 rule to your advantage unless you know what it is you want to focus on. How do you cut out all the background noise and zero in on that 20% that’s going to make an extraordinary difference in your life? ___17___ Your purpose is the foundation of everything in your life or in your business. ___18___ It’s that important. Your purpose could be something like having more time with your family, the freedom to live life on your terms, or the money to travel the world. In business, your purpose is your company vision. It’s the reason you started the business in the first place. ___19___ Write down five things you could start doing today to help you get to live your purpose. Then prioritize them by how fast they will get you to your goal. The top item — the most meaningful — is your first priority. You’re not done yet. Priorities are nice, but they’re not enough to get you over the finish line. You need to create SMART goals: steps you can take that are specific, measurable, Achievable, Realistic and set within a Time Frame. ___20___ These specific action items are the real 20% of the 80/20 rule — the things you’ll spend 20% of your time doing that will generate the best results. A. Now it’s time to get more specific. B. It explains why focusing on key tasks matters. C. Rank your purposes by the level of importance. D. You can apply the principle to your personal goals. E. Then you need to hold yourself accountable for them. F. Follow this equation: Purpose + Priority = Productivity. G. If you don’t know your purpose, you can’t create goals or take action. 【答案】16. B 17. F 18. G 19. A 20. E 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了80/20法则，即20%的行动会产生80%的结果，并阐述了如何运用这一法则来提高个人和商业效率。 【16题详解】 上文“The 80/20 rule is the principle that 20% of what you do results in 80% of your outcomes.(80/20法则是指你做的20%的事情会产生80%的结果这一原则。)”介绍了80/20法则的定义。下文“Because so much of your output is determined by a relatively small amount of what you do each day, focusing on the most productive tasks will result in greater output.(因为你每天所做的事情中，有一小部分决定了你的大部分产出，所以专注于最有成效的任务将带来更大的产出。)”解释了为什么聚焦于关键任务很重要。B项（它解释了为什么聚焦关键任务很重要）”中的“it” 直接指代前文的“80/20 rule”，既承接了法则的定义，又通过“explains why” 引出下文对“聚焦关键任务”原因的阐述，起到承上启下的作用，符合语境。故选B。 【17题详解】 上文“You can’t use the 80/20 rule to your advantage unless you know what it is you want to focus on. How do you cut out all the background noise and zero in on that 20% that’s going to make an extraordinary difference in your life?(除非你知道自己想要关注什么，否则你无法利用80/20法则来为自己谋利。你如何排除所有干扰，专注于那20%会对你的生活产生非凡影响的事情呢？)”提出“如何排除干扰并锁定那20%的关键任务”，需要一个能给出核心解决思路的句子来回应。F项（遵循这个等式：目标 + 优先事项 = 效率） 直接提供了答案——通过 “明确目标” 和 “确定优先事项” 来找到关键20%，同时为下文分别介绍“目标” 和 “优先事项”的具体内容做好铺垫，逻辑连贯，符合语境。故选F。 【18题详解】 上文提到“Your purpose is the foundation of everything in your life or in your business.(你的目标是你生活或事业中一切的基础。)”“目标是基础”，后文用“It’s that important（它如此重要）”强调其价值。G选项（若不清楚目标，则无法制定计划或行动）通过反面论证强化目标的重要性，与上下文形成递进，故选G。 【19题详解】 下文“Write down five things you could start doing today to help you get to live your purpose. Then prioritize them by how fast they will get you to your goal. The top item—the most meaningful—is your first priority.(写下你今天可以开始做的五件事情，以帮助你实现人生目标。然后根据它们能让你多快实现目标来对它们进行排序。最上面的一项——也是最有意义的一项——是你的首要任务。)”具体描述了操作步骤，其核心是将 “目标”转化为具体、有优先级的行动。A项（现在是时候更具体一些了）中的“get more specific（更具体）”恰好对应下文“写具体事项、排序定优先的操作，承接了前文“明确目标”的内容，自然引出“确定优先事项”的具体环节，符合语境。故选A。 【20题详解】 上文“You need to create SMART goals: steps you can take that are specific, measurable, Achievable, Realistic and set within a Time Frame.(你需要设定SMART目标，即具体、可衡量、可实现、现实且在时间框架内设定的步骤。)”指出，需要设定SMART目标。下文“These specific action items are the real 20% of the 80/20 rule—the things you’ll spend 20% of your time doing that will generate the best results.(这些具体的行动项目是80/20法则中真正的20%，即你会花20%的时间去做但会产生最好结果的事情。)”突出“落实行动项”的重要性。由此可知，空处应阐述设定SMART目标后的做法或态度。E选项（然后你需要对自己负责。）符合语境，承接上文，说明设定目标后要对自己负责，去执行这些目标，且E项中的“them”指代前文的“SMART goals”。故选E。 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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Leaping on a narrow balance beam is not easy.

Generally, it ___36___（anticipate）that such changes are likely to include a more automated workplace. This will result in the loss of certain jobs, especially those involving intense physical labour. Additionally, to keep up with new technologies, greater emphasis will need to be placed on ___37___（continue）training, which will get employees out of their comfort zone. Therefore, progress in the workplace will not necessarily mean ___38___（promote）to superior positions, but rather being moved sideways so that employees’ individual skills can be best used to meet a ___39___（company）changing needs. Besides, more importance will be attached to “soft skills”. Currently, ___40___ heavy focus is put on training in “hard skills”, such as machine operating and software programming.

Despite that, any prejudice ___43___ either of the two skills will not be allowed. ___44___ We are fond of these changes or not, we will need to face them. We can survive and even succeed in the workplace of the future if we keep our passion for work, ___45___（effective）interact with co-workers and sharpen our ability to adapt. 【答案】36. is anticipated 37. continuous 38. promotion##being promoted 39. company’s 40. a 41. committed 42. cooperation 43. against 44. Whether 45. effectively 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了自动化生产对工作场所可能带来的广泛变化，包括减少劳动力的工作岗位、强调持续培训的重要性、员工角色和职责的横向调整，以及软技能在未来的职场中的崛起。 【36题详解】 考查时态和语态。句意：一般来说，预计这些变化可能包括一个更加自动化的工作场所。此处为本句谓语动词，根据前文“it seems that”可知，本句描述的是一般性的预期，应使用一般现在时；主语为“it”，指代预期的情况，单数，和动词“anticipate”之间为被动关系，即“这些变化被预计”。故填is anticipated。 【37题详解】 考查形容词。句意：此外，为了跟上新技术，需要更加重视持续培训，这将使员工走出自己的舒适区。空处应为形容词作定语，修饰空后的名词，意为“持续的”，continue的形容词形式为continuous。故填continuous。 【38题详解】 考查名词或动名词。句意：因此，工作场所的进步并不一定意味着晋升到更高的职位，而是横向调动，以便员工的个人技能能够得到最佳利用，以满足公司不断变化的需求。此处“mean”为及物动词，后接名词或动名词作宾语；promote是动词，若用名词形式，其名词为promotion，且 “晋升” 在此处为抽象概念，为不可数名词；若用动名词形式，“员工”与“晋升”之间存在被动关系，即“员工被晋升”，所以要用动名词的被动形式being promoted，二者在此语境下均合理，故填promotion/being promoted。 【39题详解】 考查名词所有格。句意：因此，工作场所的进步并不一定意味着晋升到更高的职位，而是横向调动，以便员工的个人技能能够得到最佳利用，以满足公司不断变化的需求。company为名词，此处限定名词短语changing needs，表示“公司不断变化的需求”，应使用其名词所有格形式company’s。故填company’s。 【40题详解】 考查冠词。句意：目前，重点放在“硬技能”的培训上，如机器操作和软件编程。此处表示“一个重点”，且heavy为辅音音素开头的单词，应使用不定冠词a限定。故填a。 【41题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：然而，在未来，雇主们会倾向于雇佣那些致力于学习的人。空处作后置定语修饰名词people。“be committed to”是固定搭配，作定语省略be动词，所以用committed，故填committed。 【42题详解】 考查名词。句意：因此，员工需要具备出色的软技能，如沟通、合作和领导能力。cooperate为动词，此处与communication和leadership并列作such as的宾语，表示“合作”的意思，应使用其名词形式cooperation，且为不可数名词。故填cooperation。 【43题详解】 考查介词。句意：尽管如此，不允许对这两种技能中的任何一种存在偏见。“prejudice against...”是固定搭配，意为“对……的偏见”，此处表示“对这两种技能中的任何一种的偏见”，应使用介词against。故填against。 【44题详解】 考查连词。句意：不管我们是否喜欢这些变化，我们都需要面对它们。根据句意，空处引导让步状语从句，表示“不管我们是否喜欢这些变化”，应用连词“whether...or not”表示“不管……与否”，且此空位于句首，首字母应大写。故填Whether。 【45题详解】 考查副词。句意：如果我们保持对工作的热情，与同事有效互动，并提高我们的适应能力，我们就能在未来职场中生存并取得成功。effective为形容词，此处修饰动词interact，应使用其副词形式effectively作状语，表示“有效地”。故填effectively。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 46. 假定你是李华。你的朋友小明收到一家外企的面试通知，他写信向你咨询如何在面试中取得成功。请你给他写一封回信，内容包括： 1.表示祝贺； 2.提出建议。 注意： 1.写作词数应为80左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Xiaoming, ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Xiaoming, I’m so happy to hear you’ve got an interview with the foreign company.

But I knew that my family couldn’t afford one. A new bike was just a dream, so I was forced to accept a bedside table with lockable drawers. At least I would have a safe place to keep my private stuff. We went to a charity shop, where we found an old dark one among the donated items. It didn’t look too cool, but I thought that I would paint it to make it look better. After we took it home, I was getting ready to paint it. When I pulled the drawers out, I felt something stuck to the back. I reached in all the way, and guess what? A sealed bag with some papers in it. When I opened the bag, I realized that the papers were official documents. And, wrapped in them were a bunch of ten-dollar and twenty-dollar bills! Talk about finding a treasure! And on my birthday! “Is this some kind of joke?” I said aloud. I went ahead and read the papers, and it turned out to be a will. Some old lady was leaving her savings for her son and grandchildren. My mind was going crazy. Was I the luckiest twelve-year-old ever? With this money I could buy the coolest bicycle. Who knows? I began counting. When I reached a thousand dollars, my mother was knocking on my bedroom door. I quickly closed the drawer with the money in it. “Do you want some help? Is everything all right?” she asked. No, everything was not right. Actually, my stomach was growling. “I’m okay,” I lied. When my mother left my room, I lay on my bed, starting thinking. What a dilemma! I wished there were someone I could talk with. Could I keep it and get all kinds of stuff for me and my family? It wouldn’t be too bad for me to keep it, if I shared it... right? Thoughts ran through my mind. 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。 I finally made a decision and called my parents into my bedroom. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Though surprised, the shop owner helped find the family’s telephone number. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】I finally made a decision and called my parents into my bedroom. I explained the situation honestly, showing them the money and the will. My parents were surprised, but they listened carefully to my thoughts about keeping the money or returning it. After some discussion, they agreed that the right thing to do was to try and find the rightful owner. They helped me think about how to approach the charity shop owner for information. I felt relieved that I wasn’t alone in this difficult situation, and then we called the shop owner and immediately informed him of what had happened. Though surprised, the shop owner helped find the family’s telephone number. We contacted the son mentioned in the will. When we explained the situation, he was overwhelmed with gratitude. He told us his mother had recently passed away and that the will had not yet been fully processed. We arranged to meet him at the shop to return the money and documents. Handing everything back, I felt a sense of pride and satisfaction. While I didn’t get the new bicycle right away, I learned that doing the right thing brings its own rewards, and I knew my family would appreciate the lesson as much as I did. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，文章讲述了作者十二岁生日时，因家境所限未得梦寐以求的新自行车，而是获赠一个带锁抽屉的床头柜。在慈善店购得并准备粉刷时，意外发现抽屉后藏有装官方文件、大量钞票及遗嘱的密封袋。面对这笔财富，作者内心挣扎后，与父母决定寻找失主。在店主协助下，他们联系上遗嘱中的儿子，并归还钱财文件。作者虽未立刻得新车，却学会了做正确事自有回报。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我终于做出了决定，并把父母叫进了我的卧室。”可知，第一段可描写作者向父母解释情况，并表达自己对于是否保留或归还这笔钱的想法，最终在父母的同意和支持下，决定寻找失主的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“虽然感到惊讶，但店主还是帮忙找到了这户人家的电话号码。”可知，第二段可描写店主协助联系失主，作者与失主会面并归还钱财和文件，以及作者从中获得的感悟。 2.续写线索： 做出决定——向父母解释——表达想法——获得同意和支持——联系店主——找到失主——会面并归还——获得感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①归还：return/give back ②.提到：mention/refer to ③.安排：arrange/make an arrangement 情绪类 ①.惊讶：surprised/astonished ②.感激：gratitude/thankfulness 【点睛】[高分句型1].I explained the situation honestly, showing them the money and the will.（句中含有现在分词作伴随状语） [高分句型2].He told us his mother had recently passed away and that the will had not yet been fully processed.（句中含有that引导宾语从句的并列结构） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 机密★启用前 2025年下学期高三9月联考 英语 全卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 注意事项： 1.答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在本试卷和答题卡上。 2.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应的答案标号涂黑，如有改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案；回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3.考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

The information below will tell you about each. SmarTrip Cards You will need a SmarTrip card to enter and exit the DC Metro system. A SmarTrip card is required for each rider aged 5 and older. Cards cannot be shared, so each rider needs their own. Note that up to two children under age five may travel free with each fare-paying adult. SmarTrip cards can be ordered online, or you can buy a card at the station. They cost $15 each, with the price covering $2 for the card itself and a preloaded $13 credit. Pay-As-You-Go Another way to travel is by paying as you go. There is no set fare (车费) for all trips, as fares between stations depend on the distance, the day, and the time. The system does charge less at certain times. From 5:00 am until 9:30 pm on weekdays, the cost will land between $2.25 and $6. After 9:30 pm on weekdays and over weekends, there will be a flat rate of $2.25. 1-Day and 3-Day Passes If you don’t want to worry about loading your card throughout the day, you can purchase a 1-day pass for $13/person or a 3-day pass for $28/person. There are no travel restrictions so you can use this pass anytime and without additional charges. This may seem like a great deal. The farther out your hotel or accommodations are, the better off this deal will be. For most people, a one-or three-day pass makes sense only if you plan to make more than two longer-distance round trips daily. Remember that all Metrorail trips are a flat $2.25 fare on Saturdays and Sundays, so a pass is usually not the best deal if you use Metro mostly on weekends. You are better off paying as you go. 1. What do we know about a SmarTrip card? A. It contains $15 for Metro fare. B. It can be purchased online. C. It can be shared with children. D. It is free of charge for children. 2. Which of the following would be the most cost-effective time to use the pay-as-you-go option? A. At 8:00 am on Saturday. B. At 8:00 am on Monday. C. At 7:00 pm on Thursday. D. At 7:00 pm on Tuesday. 3. What is a key advantage of the 1-day pass? A. It can actually be used for three days. B. It costs $2.25 on Saturdays and Sundays. C. It provides unlimited Metro travel throughout the day. D. It allows you to make a long-distance round trip. B Scientists and artists have a lot to learn from each other. That’s why The Flow Project was started at the University of Wisconsin — Madison in 2021 as part of Water@UW — Madison. The Flow Project is still going today, and it pairs undergraduate artists with water scientists to create art pieces inspired by water, ranging from paintings and drawings, clothes and sculptures, to dance and music. Their work highlights the value of art not only as a tool to communicate science, but also as a way to inspire new science. Aakriti Bagchi, an undergraduate student studying fashion design, was paired with Yuan Liu, a third-year PhD student in environmental engineering who studies storms and flooding in the Mississippi River Basin. Liu generates computer models of storms caused by atmospheric rivers, which are large amounts of water vapor (水蒸气) that move on to land from tropical seas. His models aim to predict flood outcomes from these storms in the Mississippi River Basin. Patterns and designs from Liu’s research inspired visual elements that Bagchi transformed into a wearable jacket. She designed the jacket with blue and brown yarns (纱线) through white fabric to present the multiple layers of water vapor involved in the storms Liu studies. The front of the jacket showcases patches (块) of fabric to form a map of the river basin. Bagchi chose each patch to represent the basin’s various regions. “There’s so much you can do with fashion,” Bagchi says. “You can do all your research and you can find crazy solutions. And finding ways to show your thoughts in a creative sense or just in a very clear way is very important.” But Bagchi’s art wasn’t the only thing inspired by the cooperation. Liu says talking with Bagchi throughout the process and seeing how she approaches problems encouraged him to take a step back and consider new approaches to his own work. “I think it does shift a little bit of the focus when I’m doing research from just thinking about all those details, those mathematics, to some of the big pictures,” Liu says. “That’s pretty important actually, for you to become a better scientist.” 4. How does The Flow Project work? A. One artist works with different scientists. B. One scientist works with a group of artists. C. One artist and one scientist work as a group. D. A group of scientists and artists work together. 5. What is the purpose of Liu’s computer models? A. To predict the impacts of flooding. B. To understand the causes of storms. C. To facilitate cooperation with artists. D. To assist in fashion designs. 6. What can the jacket designed by Bagchi be considered as? A. The result of a scientific study. B. An innovation in fashion design. C. A combination of art and science. D. A call for environmental protection. 7. What do Liu’s words in the last two paragraphs focus on? A. How he improves his work. B. What Bagchi’s art really means. C. What he will do to be a better scientist. D. How he has benefited from the project. C As Einstein once said: “The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination.” It’s difficult to imagine where humankind would be without it. Actually, we all have imaginative ability to various degrees, based on three different but interlinked types of imagination. “Creative imagination” is what we normally consider to be creativity with a large C. And there are two phases to creative imagination. “Divergent thinking” is the ability to think of a wide variety of ideas, all somehow connected to a main problem or topic. It is supported by intuitive (直觉的) thinking, which is fast and automatic. You then need “convergent thinking” to help you evaluate the ideas for usefulness within the main problem or topic. This process is supported by analytical thinking — which is slow and deliberate — allowing us to select the right idea. For many people, the ability to become completely absorbed by an idea is key to finalizing a successful, creative project. For that you need something scientists call “fantastical imagination”, which describes your tendency to have highly vivid fantasies and level of absorption in imaginary worlds. However, given that one’s fantastic imagination can increase daydreaming and tends to increase as a response to painful events by becoming an escape from reality, it may not seem like a desirable ability to have, at first glance. There are benefits, however. Fantasy engagement in children is associated with increased creative imagination. For adults, it may help improve creative problem-solving and planning. “Episodic imagination” is similar to fantastic imagination but mainly makes use of real memory details rather than imaginary details when visualizing events in our mind’s eye. This helps individuals to better imagine alternative pasts and learn from their mistakes or imagine their futures and prepare for them. Research shows that individuals with a higher capacity for visual imagery experience more sensory details when imagining their future. Though many self-improvement books claim “imagine it and it will happen”, this is actually the opposite of what you should be doing. The best preparation for the future is to imagine the process — not the outcome — of your desired future event. One study showed that when students imagined desired outcomes (good grades for an upcoming test) they performed significantly worse than students who imagined the process of getting to the desired outcomes (imagining studying thoroughly). Perhaps now you have something to keep in mind for your New Year’s resolutions? 8. What role does divergent thinking play in creative imagination? A. It helps to solve a wide variety of problems. B. It provides various ideas for convergent thinking. C. It evaluates different solutions to a problem. D. It turns intuitive thinking into analytical thinking. 9. Why is fantastic imagination needed when completing a creative project? A. It facilitates deep engagement with the project. B. It fills you with the desire to create. C. It stops you from escaping into daydreams. D. It enhances the ability to plan ahead. 10. How is episodic imagination different from fantastic imagination? A. It’s less detailed. B. It’s more realistic. C. It’s less creative. D. It’s more effective. 11. What does “something” underlined in the last paragraph probably indicate? A. How you will achieve your goal. B. What goal you want to achieve. C. What future events will affect you. D. How future events will take place. D A new web resource, developed by researchers at the University of York, allows young people to see what challenges the earliest human ancestors, or later relatives like the Neanderthals, would have faced in keeping their community fully functioning. For example, they can find a description of a Neanderthal suffering from severe disabilities along with evidence of the challenges faced, as noted in the archaeological (考古的) record, under the heading “Did anyone care if someone was ill or weak?” Dr Penny Spikins, from the University of York’s Department of Archaeology, said: “The web resource challenges our perceptions of the past as competitive, populated only by the strong, towards a more realistic version of prehistory in which individuals cared for each other, and where the support of weaknesses and differences made humans successful.” Research has shown that it is during teenage years that complex emotional capacities and capacities for complex moral judgments develop. Archaeologists at York investigated whether these complex emotions could be better understood if schools could help young people explore where some of our emotional processes came from. Dr Spikins said: “Findings related to cultural practices suggest that Neanderthals had a system of caring for their sick and injured, as well as women who needed help in childbirth. This sort of care would have meant difficult strategic, as well as emotional, decisions had to be made, which impacted on an individual’s relationship with others and ultimately their survival as a species.” “This made us wonder whether challenging the assumption that our evolutionary past was defined by uncaring behaviors, would make us think differently about how we understand the decisions we make that impact on our own personal health and well-being today. In many ways talking about the distant past can also provide a safe place in which to discuss how complicated and difficult our emotions can be.” “One million years ago it would have been so much easier for a group of early humans to abandon a woman with severe disabilities. We know, however, that they were prepared to risk being attacked by predators (捕食性动物) to look after her.” “We hope that this resource will task young people with asking — why? — and give them a chance to think about what this tells us about human life today.” 12. What kind of person is the Neanderthal in paragraph 2 described as in the web resource? A A person who had a good relationship with others. B. A person who kept their community working. C. A person who provided care in their community. D. A person who was looked after by others. 13. What is the misunderstanding about early humans, according to the text? A. They provided support for each other. B. They shared the care of their children. C. They suffered from unstable relationships. D. They were competitive and uncaring. 14. What is the significance of early humans’ concept of community? A. It protected humans from predators. B. It led to the formation of competitive groups. C. It helped humans to survive and develop. D. It increased human knowledge of disabilities. 15. What is the main feature of the new web resource? A. Presenting a variety of knowledge of prehistory. B Connecting human life today to our distant past. C. Showing the developments in human emotions over time. D. Reminding teenagers of the lives of early humans. 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选项。 The 80/20 rule is the principle that 20% of what you do results in 80% of your outcomes. ___16___ Because so much of your output is determined by a relatively small amount of what you do each day, focusing on the most productive tasks will result in greater output.

But I knew that my family couldn’t afford one. A new bike was just a dream, so I was forced to accept a bedside table with lockable drawers. At least I would have a safe place to keep my private stuff. We went to a charity shop, where we found an old dark one among the donated items. It didn’t look too cool, but I thought that I would paint it to make it look better. After we took it home, I was getting ready to paint it. When I pulled the drawers out, I felt something stuck to the back. I reached in all the way, and guess what? A sealed bag with some papers in it. When I opened the bag, I realized that the papers were official documents. And, wrapped in them were a bunch of ten-dollar and twenty-dollar bills! Talk about finding a treasure! And on my birthday! “Is this some kind of joke?” I said aloud. I went ahead and read the papers, and it turned out to be a will. Some old lady was leaving her savings for her son and grandchildren. My mind was going crazy. Was I the luckiest twelve-year-old ever? With this money I could buy the coolest bicycle. Who knows? I began counting. When I reached a thousand dollars, my mother was knocking on my bedroom door. I quickly closed the drawer with the money in it. “Do you want some help? Is everything all right?” she asked. No, everything was not right. Actually, my stomach was growling. “I’m okay,” I lied. When my mother left my room, I lay on my bed, starting thinking. What a dilemma! I wished there were someone I could talk with. Could I keep it and get all kinds of stuff for me and my family? It wouldn’t be too bad for me to keep it, if I shared it... right? Thoughts ran through my mind. 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。 I finally made a decision and called my parents into my bedroom. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Though surprised, the shop owner helped find the family’s telephone number. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
