Her stubbornness seemed self-destructive as stores around them closed down.Yet something unusual happened.By 2020,the shop had become an unofficial shelter.Teenagers sprawled on Persian carpets with Dostoevsky,their phones forgotten in backpacks.A retired judge started hosting Saturday poetry circles where participants recited verses from memory-apractice Clara called"brain tattooing." The pandemic should have been their death knell.Instead,when Clara launched"Survival Bundles" (handpicked books with handwritten notes),orders poured in from tech executives exhausted by Zoom.A Silicon Valley CEO admitted these were the first physical books he'd touched since graduate school. "We're starving for texture,"Clara noted,wrapping parcels in recycled paper Last winter,I found her battling a new threat.A property developer had purchased their building, tripling the rent overnight.What unfolded next could fill a novel:customers organized protests on the sidewalk;the judge represented them for free;even the lawyer who once threatened to leave funded their legal defense. In the court,Clara quoted Melville:"We cannot live only for ourselves.A thousand fibers connect us."The judge-her poetry circle regular-pronounced the rent increase unreasonable.Now their shop displays this judgment alongside signed first editions,proof that some bonds still tesist digital disruption. 24.What made Clara's approach to running the bookshop special? A.Catering to the needs of customers. B.Prioritizing full concentration C.Focusing on rare book collections. D.Introducing modern technology 25.What does the underlined phrase"death knell"in paragraph 3 mean? A.A sudden opportunity for growth. B.A desperate cry for survival. C.A moment of celebration. D.An event marking the end. 26.Why is the lawyer mentioned again in paragraph 4? A.To show his contradictory behavior. B.To illustrate the content of a novel.

Cars and trucks are undergoing their greatest improvement since the automobile's()existence more than a century ago.Almost overnight,the era of the electric car has arrived.Electricity has the advantage that it works without smell and with less noise.Global annual sales of electric vehicles are expected to soar from just over 3 million today to 14 million by 2025.Just a month after Ford unveiled an electric version of the popular F-150,customers had reseryed more than 100,000 of them.The price is about $10,000 above the gas-powered one,but Ford says the electric model will cost much less to maintain. Everything creating a green revolution on the ground is of limited help in the sky for the time being. High-storage batteries are useless at present when it comes to the technological challenge of launching a few hundred people into the sky and carrying them thousands of miles.No battery yet invented can power,say,a Boeing 747 from New York to London.Promising improvements,however,do add up. Developments with zero-emission,battery-powered electric engines arealready happening in commercial flight,involving trips of limited duration and distance.Airlines specializing in short joumneys with small planes will lead the way to electric flight. Our planet's health depends on zeroing out carbon dioxide emissions by 2050,and yet,by the timetable needed to address the climate challenge,the shift away from gas-powered vehicles remains far too slow.Nevertheless,the train has left the station.Someday,electric-powered transportation will be as common as air. 28.Why are many companies switching to electricity-powered vehicles? A.To reinvent the way we travel. B.To cut the costs of car production. C.To improve the quality of products. D.To pursue sustainable development. 29.What do we know about the electric car? A.It came into use a century ago. B.It enjoys increasing popularity. C.It sells better than the traditional one. D.It costs less than the gas-powered one. 30.What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 3? A.To show the disadvantages of battery power. B.To emphasize the significance of short flights.

D.Train transportation has seen remarkable improvement. 0 Second place is just the first loser.While the competitive spirit may be as natural as breathing air,it doesn't always lead to human flourishing and can create misery.Fortunately,there is a formula to solve this problem:instead of always going for gold,shoot for the bronze. .Though second place may be the first loser,third place can be the real winner regarding happiness and longevity.In a 1995 study,scholars systematically coded the emotional reactions of silver and bronze medalists in the 1992 Summer Olympic Games.Using slow-motion footage captured both immediately after their events and later on the awards podium ()researchers found the bronze winners appeared consistently happier on average than the silver medalists.Over 80%of bronze medalists exhibited genuine smiles,a figure that was nearly double that observed among silver medalists. Moreover,every bronze medalist's smile lasted longer than the average smile observed among the silver medalists. More recent research has looked at the life span of all three medalist categories and found that the athlete whose best performance was silver lived to 72.Gold medalists beat this by four years,living to 76.But first prize in longevity went to the bronze medalists,who lived to 78. The study had a handy explanation for this distinction:"Dissatisfactory competition outcomes may badly affect health."In other words,silver medalists see themselves as the first loser because they look up to the top step,whereas the bronze winners-compare themselves favorably with all the others who never made it onto the podium at all.This theory shows the difference between upward and downward social comparison.When we compare ourselves with those who have more money,power,or achievements,we often feel like,well,losers.It tends to lower motivation and increase stress.In contrast, downward comparison makes people feel better about themselves and thus happier The worldly happiness strategy of striving for gold every day is foolish.It tends to lower the inner motivation,and thus enjoyment.The principle at work here is trying to improve your own past performance and the only person to whom you will have to compare yourself is you. 32.What can be learned from the 1995 study? A.Silver medalists showed less happiness than bronze winners. B.Silver medalists'smiling frequency was close to that of gold medalists. C.The average bronze medalist's smile lasted longer than every silver medalist's D.The emotions of both medalists were unchanged from the events to the podium. 高二年级英语试卷共10页/第6页 CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描ApP 33.What is the cause of the difference in medalists'life span? A.The stress from downward social comparison. B.The motivation from upward social comparison. C.The effect of different types of social comparison. D.The failure to look up to the top after the competition. 34.What does the writer advise us to do to achieve happiness? A.Learn from the top performers. B.Aim to outperform others in competitions. C Commit to one's consistent personal growth. D.Strengthen the motivation to obtain achievement 35.Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A.The Victory of Coming in Third. B.The Theory of Social Comparison. C.Tbe Problem of Coming in Second. D.The Psychology of the Olympic Medalists. 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，共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。 Have you felt tired and frustrated by your schedule or workload lately?If so,you may be overcommitted ()Overcommitment occurs when you push your boundaries and take on more duties than you can handle at once.36 There are plenty of solutions to stop it. Think before you commit.Before you say "yes"to something,take some time to evaluate the commitment and your schedule.Can you add this task or activity to your list?Is it something you can complete without stretching yourself too thin?37 Set boundaries and stick to them.Making clear boundaries for your professional and personal life is a great and healthy way to avoid overcommitment.38 Thiscan be as simple as turning off your phone at a specific point each night or leaving work behind a the oftice. 39 Not everything is set in stone.If a new duty comes around that's more important than others,do your best to rearrange your to-do list.For instance,when you receive an email from your boss asking you to complete an assignment for tomorrow moining's meeting by the end of the day,you can replace the time to work on a task due at the end of the week with the high-priority task. Ask for help when you need it.There's no shame in getting a little extra help now and then,especially when you're stressed out.Don't hesitate to reach out to your boss,coworker,or loved one if you need an extra hand with a commitment.40 It is important to remember that it is not weak to ask for help. In fact,it shows that you are strong enough to voice your own needs. 高二年级英语试卷共10页/第7页 CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描APF A.Accommodate to a tight schedule. B.Adjust your conrmitments to your schedule.

"What if theowner'decides to move in more things?"Clara wondered.Mike gently straightened the rabbit's ear."Someone treasured this,"he murmured,"Let's find out who it belongs to first."

Mike didn't ask further.Instead of removing the rabbit,he taped a colorful note to the mailbox, "Bunny is welcome here."Soon,more toys joined the rabbit-always in the afternoon hours when school ended. Weeks passed.The collection of playthings grew,leaving little room for mail.One evening,Clara found a new note in pink crayon,"Dear friends,Bunny really wants a toy swing.I tried to make one but failed.Can you help?-Emma."Clara's eyes grew soft,a forgotten sense of childhood wonder bubbling up inside her."This isn't just a mailbox anymore;it's a secret play world."she said."I almost feel like we're part of it.”Mike nodded,“Tomorrow,let's join in.” 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 The next afternoon,Mike and Clara hid nearby with a small surprise.
