Here’s a look at a few of the most noteworthy new theme parks for those unforgettable family memories. Genting SkyWorlds Theme Park, Malaysia Located within Resorts World Genting, about an hour’s drive from Malaysia’s capital Kuala Lumpur, Genting Sky Worlds Theme Park opened in February 2022. Across the 26-acre park, which cost $ 800 million and took nearly 10 years to create, visitors will find 26 attractions across nine areas inspired by movies and explorations. Tickets: $34 for adults; $29 for children. Peppa Pig Theme Park, US The world’s first Peppa Pig Theme Park opened in 2022 in Winter Haven, Florida, and has been delighting children ever since. Dedicated to the classic British animated TV show, where little Peppa has everyday adventures with her friends and family, the 4.5-acre park welcomes pint-sized guests with well-designed, multi-sensory activities across six playscapes. Tickets: $34 for adults; $25 for children. Ghibli Park, Japan If you love Hayao Miyazaki’s Studio Ghibli animated films, like the Academy Award-winning “Spirited Away” or “My Neighbor Totoro”, this new park is for you. Located outside of Nagoya, Japan, Ghibli Park opened in late 2022. Within the 17.5-acre forested ground of the Expo 2005, guests will find five areas that recreate several animated famous scenes. Tickets: $15 for adults; $7.50 for children. Katmandu Park, Punta Cana, Dominican Republic Opened in March 2023 on the east coast of the Dominican Republic, the park is full of mystery. According to legend, explorer Kilgore Goode was on an adventure through Nepal when he came across the “Desirata” jewel, protected by a fierce yeti (雪人). But the discovery turned everything upside down. Tickets: $120 for adults; $85 for children. 1. How much will a couple with two children pay for visiting Genting SkyWorlds Theme Park? A. $63. B. $92 C. $97. D. $126. 2. Which park is themed with legend? A. Genting Sky Worlds Theme Park. B. Peppa Pig Theme Park. C. Ghibli Park. D. Katmandu Park. 3. What do the four parks have in common? A. They are family-friendly B. They are located on the coast. C. They have been open for half a decade D. They are animation film production bases. 【答案】1. D 2. D 3. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了近几年开放的几个主题公园，以及它们的位置、主题和门票等信息。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Genting SkyWorlds Theme Park, Malaysia部分的“Tickets: $34 for adults; $29 for children.(票价：成人34美元；儿童29美元)”可知，一对夫妇带两小孩需支付34×2+29×2=126美元。故选D。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Katmandu Park, Punta Cana, Dominican Republic部分的“Opened in March 2023 on the east coast of the Dominican Republic, the park is full of mystery. According to legend, explorer Kilgore Goode was on an adventure through Nepal when he came across the “Desirata” jewel, protected by a fierce yeti (雪人).(该公园于2023年3月在多米尼加共和国东海岸开放，充满了神秘感。据传说，探险家基尔戈尔·古德在尼泊尔探险时，偶然发现了一颗被凶猛的雪人保护的“Desirata”宝石)”可知，Katmandu Park是以传说为主题。故选D。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Many families are flocking to theme parks to squeeze in a few more moments of fun. Here’s a look at a few of the most noteworthy new theme parks for those unforgettable family memories.(许多家庭纷纷涌向主题公园，以挤出更多欢乐时光。以下是几个最值得关注的新主题公园，为家人创造难忘回忆)”及各个公园的介绍中可知，这些公园都适合家庭游玩，提供多种娱乐项目和活动，适合各个年龄段的游客，这表明这四个公园的共同点是“它们是家庭友好的”。故选A。 B Parents often think that their kids should be good at studies and do well in sports. That’s usually the case because parents feel that could get their children admission to top colleges. However, Melissa and Mark Wimmer think differently. Their 14-year-old son, Mike, is a prodigy. He is a member of Mensa, which is the world’s top IQ club. He completed his high school, associate’s and bachelor’s degrees all in three years. That’s not all. He also ran two tech companies, and founded a third one that works towards controlling the population of lionfish, an invasive (入侵的) species. But the parents are proud that they were able to help Mike with his social skills along with his intellectual skills. Melissa told CNBC that people expected “Young Sheldon” before they met her son. Young Sheldon is a television show about a child talent who is an indoor man and lacks social skills. “But once they talk to Mike, they understand that he’s just a normal 14-year-old that happens to be able to do amazing things,” said Melissa. Mark and Melissa got to know about their child’s intelligence when he entered preschool. A child psychologist told them that their son would need a different course to support his fast-track development. Many parents aren’t comfortable with putting their children with 18-year-olds, but Mike’s parents saw the value in letting their child go through it. “I wanted him to be social and be able to deal with all the different personalities in the classrooms with older children,” said Melissa. The parents shared that they were able to do this by letting Mike find his own voice and put it to use. “We let him order food when he’s 3 or 4 from the waiter or waitress and introduce himself to people. Those kinds of things are done to encourage him to engage with everyone else and be more comfortable talking to others outside of our environment,” said Melissa. Thanks to his parents, Mike has learned to get along with young and old alike. 4. What do the underlined words“a prodigy” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. A genius. B. A common student. C. A bachelor’s degree. D. A young businessman. 5. What do we know about the child in the show Young Sheldon? A. He has the same characteristics with Mike. B. He is a well-rounded boy. C. He is a popular child at school. D. He has trouble in socializing, 6. How did Mike’s parents get to know about their son’s remarkable talent? A. From school teachers’comments. B. Through their son’s behavior. C. From a child psychologist’s advice. D. By letting him study with 18-year-olds. 7. What did Mike’s parents do to improve his social skills? A. They let him run two tech companies. B. They encouraged him to join in some clubs. C. They taught him some rules about interaction. D. They placed him in social situations at early ages. 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了天才少年Mike的成长经历及其父母如何培养其社交能力。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“He is a member of Mensa, which is the world’s top IQ club. He completed his high school, associate’s and bachelor’s degrees all in three years. That’s not all. He also ran two tech companies, and founded a third one that works towards controlling the population of lionfish, an invasive species. (他是门萨俱乐部的成员。他在三年内完成了高中、副学士以及学士学位的学习。不仅如此，他还经营了两家科技公司，并创立了第三家公司，致力于控制入侵物种狮子鱼的数量)”可知，虽然Mike的年龄很小，但是他提前完成学业，经营自己公司，所以“a prodigy”指的是天才。故选A。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Young Sheldon is a television show about a child talent who is an indoor man and lacks social skills. “But once they talk to Mike, they understand that he’s just a normal 14-year-old that happens to be able to do amazing things,” said Melissa. (《小谢尔顿》是一部关于一个宅男型的天才儿童的电视剧，这个孩子缺乏社交技能。“但是一旦人们与迈克交谈，他们就会明白他其实只是一个普通的14岁少年，只不过恰好能够做一些令人惊叹的事情而已，”梅丽莎说道)”可知，电视节目《小谢尔顿》中的主角是一个宅男并且缺乏社交技巧，所以他在社交方面有困难。故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Mark and Melissa got to know about their child’s intelligence when he entered preschool. A child psychologist told them that their son would need a different course to support his fast-track development. (马克和梅丽莎是在儿子进入幼儿园时了解到他的智力水平的。一位儿童心理学家告诉他们，他们的儿子需要一个特别的课程来支持他的加速发展)”可知，Mike的父母是从儿童心理学家的建议中了解到儿子非凡才能的。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““We let him order food when he’s 3 or 4 from the waiter or waitress and introduce himself to people. Those kinds of things are done to encourage him to engage with everyone else and be more comfortable talking to others outside of our environment,” said Melissa. (“当他三四岁的时候，我们就让他向服务员点餐，并向他人介绍自己。做这些事情是为了鼓励他与其他人互动，并且在他熟悉的环境之外也能更自在地与人交谈，”梅丽莎说道)”可知，Mike在三四岁的时候就向服务员点餐，并向他人介绍自己。所以Mike的父母通过让他在很小的时候就参与到社交情境中来提高他的社交技能。故选D。 C A study from Concordia’s Applied Linguistics Lab suggests that most people are usually overly harsh on themselves when speaking in a second language. PhD student Rachael Lindberg and her co-authors build on the previous understanding of individuals’’ metaperception (元知觉) — a person’s idea of how they are perceived by others. The idea that people frequently underestimate how likable they are, known as the liking gap, is well-established. But this study is the first to examine it in second-language speakers following a conversation in English. The researchers recruited 76 English as a second language university students and paired them into roughly equal numbers of female-female, male-male, and female-male pairs, each with different first language backgrounds. The pairs were given short texts to read and discuss for 10 minutes. Participants were then asked to complete forms rating their interaction on scales of 0 — 100. The questionnaire was divided into three parts. The first part asked the participants to rate their partner along three dimensions: their overall impression of their partner, their partner’s speaking skills and their behavior. The second part asked them to answer similar questions, but this time from a metaperception perspective. Participants were asked to consider their partner’s impressions of them, their speaking skills, and their behavior. The last part asked about potential future academic and social interactions. Would they like to participate in study groups, share class notes or spend time outside the classroom with their partner? “In all pairings, people underestimated how much they were liked,” Lindberg explained. These findings can have important implications for students at universities like Concordia, which have high numbers of international students whose first language is not English. “This insecurity could potentially have consequences for their academic and social integration,” Lindberg said. “An unwillingness to seek out interactions with other students because they think they will not be liked can create a barrier. This perspective could limit potentially beneficial interactions that could foster meaningful relationships and development of their second language skills.” 8. What does the author think of the study? A. Complex. B. Original. C. Puzzling. D. Costly. 9. Why did the researchers give short texts to the participants? A. To test their English levels. B. To discover their shared interest. C. To offer them topics to talk about. D. To calm them down quickly. 10. What is the result of the three-part questionnaire? A. The participants underrated their likability. B. The participants’ friendship developed fast. C. The participants’ sense of insecurity was cleared away. D. The participants’ speaking skills were greatly improved. 11. How can these findings help international students? A. Recognizing their shortcomings. B. Feeling secure in university. C. Leaving a good impression on others. D. Being more confident in interactions. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了Concordia大学关于第二语言使用者自我感知与实际受喜爱程度之间差异的研究。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“But this study is the first to examine it in second-language speakers following a conversation in English.(但是，这项研究是首次在第二语言使用者在进行英语对话后对其进行考察)”可知，作者认为这项研究具有原创性。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The pairs were given short texts to read and discuss for 10 minutes.(这些配对的参与者被给予简短的文本阅读并讨论10分钟)”可知，研究人员给参与者提供短文是为了让他们有话题进行讨论，即为了给他们提供讨论的话题。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中““In all pairings, people underestimated how much they were liked,” Lindberg explained.(“在所有配对中，人们都低估了自己被喜欢的程度，”林德伯格解释道)”可知，参与者普遍低估了对方对自己的好感度。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“These findings can have important implications for students at universities like Concordia, which have high numbers of international students whose first language is not English. “This insecurity could potentially have consequences for their academic and social integration,” Lindberg said. “An unwillingness to seek out interactions with other students because they think they will not be liked can create a barrier. This perspective could limit potentially beneficial interactions that could foster meaningful relationships and development of their second language skills.”(这些发现对于像康考迪亚大学这样拥有大量国际学生的学校具有重要意义，这些国际学生的母语并非英语。“这种不安全感可能会影响他们的学术和社会融入，”林德伯格说。“由于认为自己不会受欢迎而不愿意与其他学生互动，可能会形成障碍。这种观点可能会限制那些可能促进有意义的关系建立及第二语言技能发展的有益互动。”)”可知，国际学生在交流中担心不被喜欢而不愿与其他学生交流，这种观念可能会限制可能有益的互动，这些发现可以帮助国际学生意识到他们可能过于担心自己的表现，从而在交流互动中更加自信。故选D。 D Ecologists have long known that the ground beneath our feet is home to more life, and more diverse life than almost any other place on Earth. In just a cup of dirt, researchers have discovered 100 million life forms. Underground creatures range from earthworms that can reach several meters in length, to mice, and rabbits in their tunnels and caves. Generally, these underground communities form much of the basis for life on our planet, from the food we eat to the air we breathe. Today, in a somewhat new field known as soil bioacoustics (生物声学) a growing number of biologists are capturing underground noises to open a window into this complex and mysterious world. They’ve found that something as simple as a metal nail rushed into the dirt can become a sort of upside-down antenna (天线) if equipped with the right sensors.And the more researchers listen, the more it becomes apparent how much the ground below us is filled with life. Listening to this mixture of underground sounds promises to reveal not only what life forms live below our feet but also how they go about their existence-how they eat or hunt, how they slip past each other unnoticed, or drum, tap, and sing to get one another’s attention. Underground bioacoustics could help us take better care of the environment and detect pests that cause billions of dollars in damage every year. Without a way to locate the pests, ground managers commonly have to turn to fighting pests like these with blanket pesticide (杀虫剂) applications. But that kills all sorts of things underground. The impact that human sound pollution has on underground life is still unclear. But “it’s hard to believe it wouldn’t have any”, says Rillig, a soil ecologist, Maeder, a sound artist, thinks scientists are finding that the underground band of animal activity has started to fall silent in large areas of land. A reduction of noises suggests the reduction of biodiversity and thus a less healthy soil. 12. What is paragraph 1 mainly about? A. Ecologists’ latest discoveries. B. The richness of underground species. C. The secret underground world. D. A changed habitat. 13. What is highlighted in paragraph 3? A. The significance of soil bioacoustics. B. The harm of pesticide applications. C The types of underground sounds. D. The balance of ecology. 14 What’s Maeder’s attitude to the underground falling silent? A. Dismissive. B. Ambiguous. C. Concerned. D. Doubtful. 15. What’s the best title for the text? A. Is life in the soil thought to be silent? B. Have humans changed the substance of soil? C. Can we uncover the silent soil in the noisy world? D. Is the reduction of noises in the soil better or worse? 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了地下生物的丰富性和土壤生物声学的研究及其对环境保护的意义。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“Ecologists have long known that the ground beneath our feet is home to more life, and more diverse life than almost any other place on Earth. In just a cup of dirt, researchers have discovered 100 million life forms.(生态学家早就知道，我们脚下的土地是地球上生命最丰富、多样性最高的地方之一。在仅仅一杯泥土中，研究人员就发现了1亿种生命形式)”以及后续的描述可知，该段主要强调了地下物种的丰富性。故选B。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Listening to this mixture of underground sounds promises to reveal not only what life forms live below our feet but also how they go about their existence-how they eat or hunt, how they slip past each other unnoticed, or drum, tap, and sing to get one another’s attention. Underground bioacoustics could help us take better care of the environment and detect pests that cause billions of dollars in damage every year. Without a way to locate the pests, ground managers commonly have to turn to fighting pests like these with blanket pesticide (杀虫剂) applications. But that kills all sorts of things underground.(聆听这些混合的地下声音，不仅可以揭示生活在我们脚下的生命形式，还可以揭示它们是如何生存的——它们如何捕食，如何悄无声息地从彼此身边溜走，或者如何打鼓、敲击、唱歌来引起彼此的注意。地下生物声学可以帮助我们更好地保护环境，探测每年造成数十亿美元损失的害虫。由于没有找到害虫的方法，地面管理人员通常不得不转向使用地毯式杀虫剂（杀虫剂）来对抗害虫。但这会杀死地下的所有生物)”可知，该段主要强调了通过土壤生物声学可以揭示地下生物的存在和生存方式强调了土壤生物声学的重要性。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Maeder, a sound artist, thinks scientists are finding that the underground band of animal activity has started to fall silent in large areas of land. A reduction of noises suggests the reduction of biodiversity and thus a less healthy soil.(Maeder是一位声音艺术家，他认为科学家们正在发现，在大片土地上，动物活动的地下波段已经开始沉寂。噪音的减少意味着生物多样性的减少，从而导致土壤不健康)”可以推断出Maeder对地下世界变得寂静持担忧的态度。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容及第二段中“Today, in a somewhat new field known as soil bioacoustics (生物声学) a growing number of biologists are capturing underground noises to open a window into this complex and mysterious world.(今天，在一个被称为土壤生物声学的新领域，越来越多的生物学家正在捕捉地下的噪音，为这个复杂而神秘的世界打开一扇窗)”可知，文章主要介绍了土壤生物声学的研究，以及通过该技术可以揭示地下生物的存在和生存方式，同时提到了人类声音污染对地下生物的影响。因此，文章的核心是探讨土壤中的生命是否沉默，故选项A“土壤中的生物被认为是沉默的吗？”能够概括文章的主旨，适合作为文章标题。故选A。 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。 Does your son or daughter get really nervous before a game? My eldest son does and as a mom I just want to hug him tightly. ____16____ I’ve definitely found that being too “Mom” is not always the best solution, so I’ve made a little list of the things that help calm my son, and some of these might work for your kid, as well. ____17____ It might be your instinct to try to stop his anxiety by reminding him of a bunch of things to think about on your way to the game. Stop. I tried that and all it seemed to do was make him more anxious. He told me he didn’t really want to think about every detail before he got there and he just wanted to be able to clear his mind. Besides, that’s what practice is for — working out all those details. ____18____ Encourage deep breathing and stretching. Deep breathing is a great method for calming nerves. It’s also a great way to get oxygen to the lungs and tissues. ____19____ I’ve found that all getting my son to the games a little early and having him stretch is also a great way for him to relax and be ready and focused. Give him chewing gum (口香糖). There is some research available claiming that chewing gum helps calm nerves and reduce stress. According to lifehack.org, chewing gum lowers Cortisol levels, also known as the “stress hormone”. ____20____ This assists with focus, because chewing warms up the brain. A. Just think twice. B. Don’t talk about it on the way. C. But that’s the last thing I can do. D. It also increases blood flow to the brain. E. Imagine that you are at the same position. F. However, if he wants to talk, pick up a relaxing topic. G. Stretching does wonders for the mind and body before a game. 【答案】16. C 17. B 18. F 19. G 20. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何帮助孩子在比赛前缓解紧张情绪。 【16题详解】 前文“Does your son or daughter get really nervous before a game? My eldest son does and as a mom I just want to hug him tightly. (你的儿子或女儿在比赛前会很紧张吗？我的大儿子就是这样，作为一个母亲，我只想紧紧地拥抱他)”指出母亲想要通过拥抱来安慰孩子的情绪，后文“I’ve definitely found that being too “Mom” is not always the best solution (我确实发现过于“妈妈”并不总是最好的解决办法)”表明用拥抱来安慰孩子的方式并不总是有效的，因此C项“But that’s the last thing I can do. (但这是我能做的最后一件事)”符合语境，指出这种方式并非最优选，和前文构成转折，引出后文，其中的that指代前文用拥抱去安慰的做法。故选C。 【17题详解】 空处位于段首，是段落主旨句，需统领段落内容，且应该和其他段首句一样使用祈使句的形式。后文“It might be your instinct to try to stop his anxiety by reminding him of a bunch of things to think about on your way to the game. Stop. I tried that and all it seemed to do was make him more anxious. (这可能是你的本能，试图通过提醒他在你去比赛的路上要考虑的一堆事情来阻止他的焦虑。停止。我试过了，但似乎只会让他更加焦虑)”表明在路上谈论比赛相关的事情可能会让孩子更加焦虑，因此B项“Don’t talk about it on the way. (别在路上说这个)”符合语境，建议不在路上谈论比赛，契合后文内容。故选B。 【18题详解】 前文“He told me he didn’t really want to think about every detail before he got there and he just wanted to be able to clear his mind. Besides, that’s what practice is for — working out all those details. (他告诉我，他真的不想在到达那里之前考虑每一个细节，他只是想让自己的头脑清醒一下。此外，这就是练习的目的——解决所有这些细节)”从孩子的角度解释路上不适合谈论比赛细节的原因，因此F项“However, if he wants to talk, pick up a relaxing topic. (但是，如果他想和你聊天，那就找一个轻松的话题)”符合语境，指出如果孩子想说话，应选择轻松的话题，避免讨论比赛细节，和前文构成转折。故选F。 【19题详解】 前文“Encourage deep breathing and stretching. Deep breathing is a great method for calming nerves. It’s also a great way to get oxygen to the lungs and tissues. (鼓励深呼吸和伸展。深呼吸是镇定神经的好方法。这也是将氧气输送到肺部和组织的好方法)”建议用深呼吸和伸展两种方法，并具体说明了深呼吸的好处，后文“I’ve found that all getting my son to the games a little early and having him stretch is also a great way for him to relax and be ready and focused. (我发现让我儿子早一点去比赛，让他舒展一下身体，对他放松、准备好和集中注意力也是一个很好的方法)”具体介绍伸展的好处，因此G项“Stretching does wonders for the mind and body before a game. (赛前的伸展运动对身心都有奇效)”符合语境，指出伸展效果很好，承前启后。故选G。 【20题详解】 前文“According to lifehack.org, chewing gum lowers Cortisol levels, also known as the “stress hormone”. (根据lifehack.org网站，嚼口香糖可以降低皮质醇水平，也就是所谓的“压力激素”)”提到嚼口香糖的一个好处，后文“This assists with focus, because chewing warms up the brain. (这有助于集中注意力，因为咀嚼会使大脑升温)”提到某件事有助于集中注意力，因此D项“It also increases blood flow to the brain. (它还能增加大脑的血液流量)”符合语境，进一步介绍了嚼口香糖的另一个好处，和前文是递进关系，引出后文，后文的This指代其中的增加大脑的血液流量。故选D。 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。 At the age of 12, I withdrew into my bedroom with my guitar. I had neither musical talent many — ____21____ music lessons had proved that — nor musical training. My fingers ached as I tried to press down on the strings without making them buzz(发出嗡嗡声).____22____, I worked my way through 2-, 3- and even 5-chord(和弦) songs and discovered the ____23____ thrills of these musical notes. No one ____24____ me to do this. I did this myself and of my own free will for a week, and the sense of happiness — true happiness ____25____ in absorption in something — has ____26____ me. Fifty years later, that week’s self-directed practice became a model and ____27____ for almost every meaningful thing I have done since. It makes me understand the ____28____ between achievement and accomplishment. The world favors achievement while ignoring accomplishment. Achievement is the completion of the task imposed (强加) from the outside ,the ____29____ being a path to the next task. Accomplishment is the end point of an activity we have chosen, whose reward is the sudden _____30_____ of fulfilment, the sense of _____31_____ that rises uniquely from absorption in a thing outside ourselves. The seeking of accomplishment always _____32_____ people. I learned so long ago in that_____33_____ week that simply lifting one finger from the guitar’s C chord, you should get the most tender _____34_____. I didn’t know then it was a major 7th chord, a favorite of some masters’. I just _____35_____ accomplishment. That’s real human “achievement”. 21. A. failed B. tailored C. expected D. added 22. A. Besides B. Instead C. Therefore D. However 23. A. fruitless B. matchless C. meaningless D. senseless 24. A. wished B. allowed C. required D. invited 25. A. rooted B. masked C. set D. stuck 26.

They were friendly, often seen exchanging smiles with the neighbors, but the shift from their usual sunny climate to our frosty winters was a challenge for them. On a particularly cold evening, following a heavy snowstorm that had left the neighborhood blanketed in white, I noticed Mr Johnson attempting to clear his driveway. Armed only with a small garden shovel (铲子), he seemed to be fighting a losing battle against I the heavy snow. The driveway was covered in a thick layer of snow, and the falling temperature as night approached added to the difficulty of the task. From my window, I watched as he struggled. Feeling a sense of kindness, I decided to lend a hand. I quickly put on my warmest coat, gloves, and grabbed my large, efficient snow shovel. As I stepped outside, the cold air bit at my face, reminding me of the harshness of the season. I made my way over to Mr Johnson’s driveway, where he was still laboring under the weight of the snow. “Hello, I’m Alex from next door,” I introduced myself, breaking the quiet of the snowy evening. “That little shovel isn’t going to cut it against this show. Do you need some help?” Mr Johnson, looking up with a mix of surprise and relief, welcomed my offer. He accepted the shovel I offered him, and we set to work side by side. As we shoveled, I shared tips for efficiently clearing snow, trying to make the task less hard for him. Our conversation flowed naturally as we worked. Mr Johnson spoke fondly of his homeland, talking about the warmth of the beaches and the vastly different lifestyle they had left behind. He shared insights into his family’s decision to relocate for better job opportunities, and their mix of excitement and anxiety about experiencing a cold winter for the first time. 注意: 1.续写词数应为150 个左右; 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 After about an hour of combined effort, we managed to clear the snow from the driveway. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day in a gesture of kindness, Mrs Johnson arrived at our doorstep, surprising me with a homemade pie. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 After about an hour of combined effort, we managed to clear the snow from the driveway. A sense of shared achievement enveloped us as Mr Johnson, his face lit with thankfulness, extended his heartfelt thanks for my help. “Alex, your assistance means so much to us. This warm welcome to the neighborhood is more than we could have asked for,” he expressed his gratitude. Despite his kind invitation to come inside for a cup of warming tea, I had to politely decline as my family was expecting me back home for our evening meal. The next day, in a gesture of kindness, Mrs Johnson arrived at our doorstep, surprising me with a homemade pie. I let her in. The delicious smell went through our living room. As we sat down, Mrs Johnson began to share fascinating stories about their culture, painting vivid images of traditional festivals and beloved traditional dishes from their homeland. This heartwarming exchange, symbolized by the homemade pie, served to further strengthen our friendship, bridging the cultural divide and bringing our two families closer in the spirit of community and mutual respect. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了邻居之间互帮互助，通过共同的努力和温暖的举动建立起深厚友谊的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“经过大约一个小时的共同努力，我们终于清除了车道上的积雪。”可知，第一段可描写我和Mr. Johnson完成除雪任务后的感受，以及他对我帮助的感激之情。 ②由第二段首句内容“第二天，约翰逊夫人出于善意来到了我们的家门口，用一个自制的派让我感到惊喜。”可知，第二段可描写Mrs. Johnson送来家制派的情景，以及我们之间的进一步交流和友谊的加深。 2.续写线索：共同努力除雪——表达感激——邻里间的温暖互动——家制派的礼物——文化交流——友谊的加深 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①包围：envelop/surround/wrap ②拒绝：decline/refuse ③加强：strengthen/enhance 情绪类 ①衷心的感谢：heartfelt thanks/sincere gratitude ②令人感到温暖的：heartwarming/touching 【点睛】【高分句型1】Despite his kind invitation to come inside for a cup of warming tea, I had to politely decline as my family was expecting me back home for our evening meal.(运用了despite引导的让步状语和as引导的原因状语从句) 【高分句型2】As we sat down, Mrs Johnson began to share fascinating stories about their culture, painting vivid images of traditional festivals and beloved traditional dishes from their homeland.(运用了as引导时间状语从句和现在分词短语作状语) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高三英语 (120分钟　150分) 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。 1.Why does Brian go to the hospital?

Here’s a look at a few of the most noteworthy new theme parks for those unforgettable family memories. Genting SkyWorlds Theme Park, Malaysia Located within Resorts World Genting, about an hour’s drive from Malaysia’s capital Kuala Lumpur, Genting Sky Worlds Theme Park opened in February 2022. Across the 26-acre park, which cost $ 800 million and took nearly 10 years to create, visitors will find 26 attractions across nine areas inspired by movies and explorations. Tickets: $34 for adults; $29 for children. Peppa Pig Theme Park, US The world’s first Peppa Pig Theme Park opened in 2022 in Winter Haven, Florida, and has been delighting children ever since.

Tickets: $34 for adults; $25 for children Ghibli Park, Japan If you love Hayao Miyazaki’s Studio Ghibli animated films, like the Academy Award-winning “Spirited Away” or “My Neighbor Totoro”, this new park is for you.

But the discovery turned everything upside down. Tickets: $120 for adults; $85 for children. 1. How much will a couple with two children pay for visiting Genting SkyWorlds Theme Park? A. $63.

They are family-friendly B. They are located on the coast. C. They have been open for half a decade D. They are animation film production bases. B Parents often think that their kids should be good at studies and do well in sports. That’s usually the case because parents feel that could get their children admission to top colleges. However, Melissa and Mark Wimmer think differently. Their 14-year-old son, Mike, is a prodigy. He is a member of Mensa, which is the world’s top IQ club. He completed his high school, associate’s and bachelor’s degrees all in three years. That’s not all. He also ran two tech companies, and founded a third one that works towards controlling the population of lionfish, an invasive (入侵的) species. But the parents are proud that they were able to help Mike with his social skills along with his intellectual skills. Melissa told CNBC that people expected “Young Sheldon” before they met her son. Young Sheldon is a television show about a child talent who is an indoor man and lacks social skills. “But once they talk to Mike, they understand that he’s just a normal 14-year-old that happens to be able to do amazing things,” said Melissa. Mark and Melissa got to know about their child’s intelligence when he entered preschool. A child psychologist told them that their son would need a different course to support his fast-track development. Many parents aren’t comfortable with putting their children with 18-year-olds, but Mike’s parents saw the value in letting their child go through it. “I wanted him to be social and be able to deal with all the different personalities in the classrooms with older children,” said Melissa. The parents shared that they were able to do this by letting Mike find his own voice and put it to use. “We let him order food when he’s 3 or 4 from the waiter or waitress and introduce himself to people. Those kinds of things are done to encourage him to engage with everyone else and be more comfortable talking to others outside of our environment,” said Melissa. Thanks to his parents, Mike has learned to get along with young and old alike. 4 What do the underlined words“a prodigy” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. A genius. B. A common student. C. A bachelor’s degree. D. A young businessman. 5. What do we know about the child in the show Young Sheldon? A. He has the same characteristics with Mike. B. He is a well-rounded boy. C. He is a popular child at school. D. He has trouble in socializing, 6. How did Mike’s parents get to know about their son’s remarkable talent? A. From school teachers’comments. B. Through their son’s behavior. C. From a child psychologist’s advice. D. By letting him study with 18-year-olds. 7. What did Mike’s parents do to improve his social skills? A. They let him run two tech companies. B. They encouraged him to join in some clubs. C. They taught him some rules about interaction. D. They placed him in social situations at early ages. C A study from Concordia’s Applied Linguistics Lab suggests that most people are usually overly harsh on themselves when speaking in a second language. PhD student Rachael Lindberg and her co-authors build on the previous understanding of individuals’’ metaperception (元知觉) — a person’s idea of how they are perceived by others. The idea that people frequently underestimate how likable they are, known as the liking gap, is well-established. But this study is the first to examine it in second-language speakers following a conversation in English. The researchers recruited 76 English as a second language university students and paired them into roughly equal numbers of female-female, male-male, and female-male pairs, each with different first language backgrounds. The pairs were given short texts to read and discuss for 10 minutes. Participants were then asked to complete forms rating their interaction on scales of 0 — 100. The questionnaire was divided into three parts. The first part asked the participants to rate their partner along three dimensions: their overall impression of their partner, their partner’s speaking skills and their behavior. The second part asked them to answer similar questions, but this time from a metaperception perspective. Participants were asked to consider their partner’s impressions of them, their speaking skills, and their behavior. The last part asked about potential future academic and social interactions. Would they like to participate in study groups, share class notes or spend time outside the classroom with their partner? “In all pairings, people underestimated how much they were liked,” Lindberg explained. These findings can have important implications for students at universities like Concordia, which have high numbers of international students whose first language is not English. “This insecurity could potentially have consequences for their academic and social integration,” Lindberg said. “An unwillingness to seek out interactions with other students because they think they will not be liked can create a barrier. This perspective could limit potentially beneficial interactions that could foster meaningful relationships and development of their second language skills.” 8. What does the author think of the study? A. Complex. B. Original. C. Puzzling. D. Costly. 9. Why did the researchers give short texts to the participants? A. To test their English levels. B. To discover their shared interest. C. To offer them topics to talk about. D. To calm them down quickly. 10. What is the result of the three-part questionnaire? A. The participants underrated their likability. B. The participants’ friendship developed fast. C. The participants’ sense of insecurity was cleared away. D.

D Ecologists have long known that the ground beneath our feet is home to more life, and more diverse life than almost any other place on Earth. In just a cup of dirt, researchers have discovered 100 million life forms. Underground creatures range from earthworms that can reach several meters in length, to mice, and rabbits in their tunnels and caves. Generally, these underground communities form much of the basis for life on our planet, from the food we eat to the air we breathe. Today, in a somewhat new field known as soil bioacoustics (生物声学) a growing number of biologists are capturing underground noises to open a window into this complex and mysterious world. They’ve found that something as simple as a metal nail rushed into the dirt can become a sort of upside-down antenna (天线) if equipped with the right sensors.And the more researchers listen, the more it becomes apparent how much the ground below us is filled with life. Listening to this mixture of underground sounds promises to reveal not only what life forms live below our feet but also how they go about their existence-how they eat or hunt, how they slip past each other unnoticed, or drum, tap, and sing to get one another’s attention. Underground bioacoustics could help us take better care of the environment and detect pests that cause billions of dollars in damage every year. Without a way to locate the pests, ground managers commonly have to turn to fighting pests like these with blanket pesticide (杀虫剂) applications. But that kills all sorts of things underground. The impact that human sound pollution has on underground life is still unclear. But “it’s hard to believe it wouldn’t have any” says Rillig, a soil ecologist, Maeder, a sound artist, thinks scientists are finding that the underground band of animal activity has started to fall silent in large areas of land. A reduction of noises suggests the reduction of biodiversity and thus a less healthy soil. 12. What is paragraph 1 mainly about? A. Ecologists’ latest discoveries. B. The richness of underground species. C. The secret underground world. D. A changed habitat. 13. What is highlighted in paragraph 3? A. The significance of soil bioacoustics. B. The harm of pesticide applications. C. The types of underground sounds. D. The balance of ecology. 14. What’s Maeder’s attitude to the underground falling silent? A. Dismissive. B. Ambiguous. C. Concerned. D. Doubtful. 15. What’s the best title for the text? A. Is life in the soil thought to be silent? B. Have humans changed the substance of soil? C. Can we uncover the silent soil in the noisy world? D. Is the reduction of noises in the soil better or worse? 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。 Does your son or daughter get really nervous before a game? My eldest son does and as a mom I just want to hug him tightly. ____16____ I’ve definitely found that being too “Mom” is not always the best solution, so I’ve made a little list of the things that help calm my son, and some of these might work for your kid, as well. ____17____ It might be your instinct to try to stop his anxiety by reminding him of a bunch of things to think about on your way to the game. Stop. I tried that and all it seemed to do was make him more anxious. He told me he didn’t really want to think about every detail before he got there and he just wanted to be able to clear his mind. Besides, that’s what practice is for — working out all those details. ____18____ Encourage deep breathing and stretching Deep breathing is a great method for calming nerves. It’s also a great way to get oxygen to the lungs and tissues. ____19____ I’ve found that all getting my son to the games a little early and having him stretch is also a great way for him to relax and be ready and focused. Give him chewing gum (口香糖). There is some research available claiming that chewing gum helps calm nerves and reduce stress. According to lifehack.org, chewing gum lowers Cortisol levels, also known as the “stress hormone”. ____20____ This assists with focus, because chewing warms up the brain. A. Just think twice. B. Don’t talk about it on the way. C. But that’s the last thing I can do. D It also increases blood flow to the brain. E. Imagine that you are at the same position. F. However, if he wants to talk, pick up a relaxing topic. G. Stretching does wonders for the mind and body before a game. 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。 At the age of 12, I withdrew into my bedroom with my guitar.

They were friendly, often seen exchanging smiles with the neighbors, but the shift from their usual sunny climate to our frosty winters was a challenge for them. On a particularly cold evening, following a heavy snowstorm that had left the neighborhood blanketed in white, I noticed Mr Johnson attempting to clear his driveway. Armed only with a small garden shovel (铲子), he seemed to be fighting a losing battle against I the heavy snow. The driveway was covered in a thick layer of snow, and the falling temperature as night approached added to the difficulty of the task. From my window, I watched as he struggled. Feeling a sense of kindness, I decided to lend a hand. I quickly put on my warmest coat, gloves, and grabbed my large, efficient snow shovel. As I stepped outside, the cold air bit at my face, reminding me of the harshness of the season. I made my way over to Mr Johnson’s driveway, where he was still laboring under the weight of the snow. “Hello, I’m Alex from next door,” I introduced myself, breaking the quiet of the snowy evening. “That little shovel isn’t going to cut it against this show. Do you need some help?” Mr Johnson, looking up with a mix of surprise and relief, welcomed my offer. He accepted the shovel I offered him, and we set to work side by side. As we shoveled, I shared tips for efficiently clearing snow, trying to make the task less hard for him. Our conversation flowed naturally as we worked. Mr Johnson spoke fondly of his homeland, talking about the warmth of the beaches and the vastly different lifestyle they had left behind. He shared insights into his family’s decision to relocate for better job opportunities, and their mix of excitement and anxiety about experiencing a cold winter for the first time. 注意: 1.续写词数应为150 个左右; 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 After about an hour of combined effort, we managed to clear the snow from the driveway. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day, in a gesture of kindness, Mrs Johnson arrived at our doorstep, surprising me with a homemade pie. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
