Rounding out all that unspoiled nature are ancient castles, historic villages, and pubs alive with traditional music. Here’s the best way to experience this colorful corner of Europe. Rocky coves The southwest’s rocky coves are rich with seaweed, revealing a little-known piece of Irish history. “In the past people couldn’t eat meat so they would go down around these shores and get laver, or sleabhac, as it’s high in protein,” says Kerryann O’Farrell of Atlantic Irish Seaweed, whose guides lead educational sea vegetable walks at Derrynane Harbour. Cape Clear Island Located eight miles off the southern coast, Cape Clear Island (Oileán Chleire) is one of Irish-speaking Gaeltacht areas, which can be found in seven counties and on some islands. On Cape, the former girls school now houses the Heritage Centre with exhibits on the island’s maritime history and culture. Don’t miss the goat milk ice cream at local favorite Cléire Goats. The River Corrib While Shop Street and Eyre Square draw the crowds, the Western neighborhood across the River Corrib is the soul of the city. Soak up the bohemian vibe at places like Bell Book and Candle, a treasure trove for new and second-hand books; the monthly Flea Style Market inside the Galway Arts Centre; and the Crane Bar, which features some of the city’s best “trad” fiddle and bodhrán players. Great Lighthouses of Ireland Great Lighthouses of Ireland offers a guide to noteworthy beacons around the country. One of the most remote, St. John’s Point Lighthouse rises at the end of a narrow peninsula in County Donegal, looking out to Donegal Bay and County Sligo. Stay overnight in Clipper or Schooner, the former lighthouse keepers’ residences, and experience the solitude of keeping watch. Naturally, there’s no Wi-Fi, so unwind and read a book beside the fire, or explore the headland at sunrise. 1. What can’t you do in Cape Clear Island? A. Appreciate local language. B. Try the goat milk ice cream. C. Admire the island’s maritime history. D. Enjoy educational sea vegetable walks. 2. Which would be the best place for someone in need of an undisturbed place? A. Rocky coves. B. Cape Clear Island. C. The River Corrib. D. Great Lighthouses of Ireland. 3. The passage is most likely taken from ________. A. a news report B. an advertisement C. a travel brochure D. an encyclopedia 【答案】1. D 2. D 3. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了爱尔兰几个绝佳的旅游胜地。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Cape Clear Island中“Located eight miles off the southern coast, Cape Clear Island (Oileán Chleire) is one of Irish-speaking Gaeltacht areas, which can be found in seven counties and on some islands. On Cape, the former girls school now houses the Heritage Centre with exhibits on the island’s maritime history and culture. Don’t miss the goat milk ice cream at local favorite Cléire Goats.”（开普克利尔岛(Oileán Chleire)位于南部海岸八英里外，是一个讲爱尔兰语的盖尔语地区，在七个县和一些岛屿上都可以看到。在开普，以前的女子学校现在是遗产中心的所在地，展示了岛上的海洋历史和文化。不要错过当地最受欢迎的Cléire山羊奶冰淇淋。）可知，在开普克利尔岛无法享受有教育意义的海洋蔬菜之旅。故选D项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Great Lighthouses of Ireland中“Stay overnight in Clipper or Schooner, the former lighthouse keepers’ residences, and experience the solitude of keeping watch. Naturally, there’s no Wi-Fi, so unwind and read a book beside the fire, or explore the headland at sunrise.”（在克利伯(Clipper)或斯库纳(Schooner)——前灯塔看守人的住所——过夜，体验守望的孤独。当然，这里没有Wi-Fi，所以你可以在火炉旁放松一下，读一本书，或者在日出时探索海岬。）可知，爱尔兰灯塔这个地方最适合那些需要安静，不被打扰的人。故选D项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章大意以及第一段“Green fields and hills give Ireland its “Emerald Isle” nickname. Rounding out all that unspoiled nature are ancient castles, historic villages, and pubs alive with traditional music. Here’s the best way to experience this colorful corner of Europe.”（翠绿的田野和丘陵给了爱尔兰“翡翠岛”的绰号。古老的城堡、历史悠久的村庄和充满传统音乐的酒吧使所有未受破坏的自然环境更加完善。这里是体验欧洲这个多姿多彩的角落的最佳方式。）可知，文章主要讲的是爱尔兰几个绝佳的旅游胜地。由此可推知，这篇文章可能来自一本旅游手册。故选C项。 B Jahkil Jackson is the creator of the famous Project I Am. Through the project, Jahkil looks to raise awareness for reducing homelessness in Chicago and beyond. Even at a very tender age, his deeds already drew the recognition of former U. S. President Barack Obama in 2017. Jahkil also pushes to motivate and influence fellow kids to get more active and useful in their communities. When he was five years old, Jahkil assisted his aunt in distributing food to the homeless in Chicago. Then the little boy was unhappy to find out that people could not afford a home. He was always eager to find out how he could offer help to people. And he would be mad for not being able to give money to anyone asking for help on the streets. He was determined to help the homeless in every way he could. That strong desire later gave birth to the Project I Am, his nonprofit organization, which focused on helping the homeless people. He founded it at the age of eight, and has since then never looked back on his journey of charity. Through Project I Am, Jahkil Jackson reaches out to the homeless by distributing “Blessing bags”. Provided in the blessing bags are diverse kinds of materials to help the needy, including wipes, hand sanitizers, toothbrushes, toothpaste, socks, bottled water, among other things. Jahkil Jackson is also one of the key workers in Dream for Kids, another nonprofit organization founded by Tom Tuohy, a social entrepreneur. Jahkil met with Tuohy at a Holiday for Hope event organized by the Dream for Kids. From there, he became the youngest ever student in the YES (Youth Enterprise Solution) program by the Dream For Kids. He has been working with them since then. 4. For what purpose did Jahkil create Project I Am? A. To get awards. B. To collect money. C. To do charity. D. To make friends. 5. How does Project I Am help? A. Doing voluntary work. B. Giving out daily necessities. C. Donating money to the poor. D. Offering shelters for the homeless. 6. Which of the following can best describe Jahkil? A. Friendly and sociable. B. Kind-hearted and generous. C. Energetic and powerful. D. Innocent and thoughtful. 7. What’s the best title of the text? A. New Homes for the Homeless B. An Anti-poverty Project in Chicago C. Do Your Charity at an Early Age D. Jahkil Jackson and His Blessing Bags 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲述的是一个非常善良的男孩Jahkil Jackson，成立了一个慈善项目“I Am”，通过给分发装有生活用品的福袋来帮助有需要的人的善行义举。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“That strong desire later gave birth to the Project I Am, his nonprofit organization, which focused on helping the homeless people. He founded it at the age of eight, and has since then never looked back on his journey of charity.(这种强烈的愿望后来催生了他的非营利组织“I Am”项目，专注于帮助无家可归的人。他在8岁时创立了这个组织，从那以后就再也没有回顾过他的慈善之旅)”可知，贾基尔创建“I Am”项目的目的是帮助他人，做慈善，故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Through Project I Am, Jahkil Jackson reaches out to the homeless by distributing “Blessing bags”. Provided in the blessing bags are diverse kinds of materials to help the needy, including wipes, hand sanitizers, toothbrushes, toothpaste, socks, bottled water, among other things.(通过“I Am”项目，贾基尔通过分发“福袋”向无家可归的人伸出援手。福袋里有各式各样的物品，帮助有需要的人，包括湿巾、洗手液、牙刷、牙膏、袜子、瓶装水等等)”可知，“I Am”项目通过分发装有生活用品的福袋来帮助有需要的人，故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Then the little boy was unhappy to find out that people could not afford a home. He was always eager to find out how he could offer help to people. And he would be mad for not being able to give money to anyone asking for help on the streets. He was determined to help the homeless in every way he could.(当时的小男孩发现人们买不起房子很不高兴。他总是急于想知道怎样才能帮助别人。如果他不能把钱给任何在街上寻求帮助的人，他一定会发疯的。他决心尽他所能帮助无家可归的人)”可知，贾基尔总是非常乐意且渴望给他人提供帮助，并且会竭尽所能和想方设法去给他人提供帮助，由此可知，他是一个善良和慷慨的人，故选B。 【7题详解】 标题判断题。通读全文，结合第四段“Through Project I Am, Jahkil Jackson reaches out to the homeless by distributing “Blessing bags”. Provided in the blessing bags are diverse kinds of materials to help the needy, including wipes, hand sanitizers, toothbrushes, toothpaste, socks, bottled water, among other things.(通过“I Am”项目，贾基尔通过分发“福袋”向无家可归的人伸出援手。福袋里有各式各样的物品，帮助有需要的人，包括湿巾、洗手液、牙刷、牙膏、袜子、瓶装水等等)”可知，本文主要讲述的是一个非常善良的男孩Jahkil Jackson，成立了一个慈善项目“I Am”，通过给分发装有生活用品的福袋来帮助有需要的人的善行义举，所以D项“Jahkil Jackson和他的福袋”符合文章中心主旨，适合作为本文的标题，故选D。 C Facing Adversity with Courage Life is full of challenges, and adversity is something everyone must face at some point. Whether it’s failing an exam, dealing with family struggles, or overcoming personal fears, difficult moments test our strength. However, it is courage — not the absence of fear — that helps us rise above these challenges. History and daily life are filled with examples of people who turned obstacles into opportunities. Helen Keller, who lost her sight and hearing as a child, could have given up on life. Instead, with relentless effort and the guidance of her teacher, Anne Sullivan, she learned to read, write, and even speak. Later, she became the first deaf-blind person to earn a college degree. Her story proves that courage and perseverance can conquer even the toughest barriers. Similarly, Thomas Edison failed thousands of times before inventing the light bulb. When asked about his struggles, he famously said, “I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.” His determination shows that failure is not the end but a lesson leading to success. In our own lives, courage doesn’t always mean grand achievements. It can be as simple as speaking up against injustice, trying again after a poor test result, or facing a fear of public speaking. Every small act of bravery strengthens our resilience. Adversity shapes character. Those who confront challenges with courage often emerge stronger and wiser. Instead of fearing obstacles, we should see them as opportunities to grow. Just as storms force trees to grow deeper roots, hardships help us develop inner strength. Ultimately, life’s difficulties are not meant to defeat us but to prepare us for greater things. By embracing courage, we can turn setbacks into stepping stones toward success. As the saying goes, “Smooth seas do not make skillful sailors.” It is through overcoming adversity that we build resilience, gain wisdom, and uncover the strength we never knew we had. 8. According to Paragraph 1, what is the essential quality for overcoming life’s challenges? A. The absence of fear B. Strong personal abilities C. Courage D. Avoiding difficult situations 9. What do Helen Keller and Thomas Edison have in common according to the text? A. They were both born with disabilities. B. They succeeded because of good teachers. C. They overcame difficulties through persistence. D. They became famous inventors in the world. 10. What can we infer from the saying “Smooth seas do not make skillful sailors” (last paragraph)? A. Comfortable life leads to success. B. Experiencing challenges helps people grow. C. Good weather conditions improve sailing skills. D. Avoiding problems is the best life strategy. 11. Which situation BEST demonstrates the article’s message about courage? A. A student copies homework to avoid punishment. B. An athlete trains harder after losing a competition. C. A boy gives up piano because it’s too difficult. D. A girl blames others for her low test scores. 【答案】8. C 9. C 10. B 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了逆境是人生必修课，勇气能帮助人们战胜挫折、实现成长，呼吁人们以勇气直面困境。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“However, it is courage—not the absence of fear—that helps us rise above these challenges.(而帮助我们冲破这些难关的，是勇气——并非无所畏惧，而是心怀恐惧却依然前行。)”可知，帮助人们克服人生挑战的关键品质是勇气。故选C。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Her story proves that courage and perseverance can conquer even the toughest barriers.(她的事迹印证了：勇气与毅力，足以攻克世间最艰巨的壁垒。)”以及第三段“His determination shows that failure is not the end but a lesson leading to success.(他的这份执着向我们证明：失败并非终点，而是通往成功的一堂必修课。)”可知，Helen Keller和Thomas Edison的共同点是都凭借坚持不懈的精神克服了困难。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“It is through overcoming adversity that we build resilience, gain wisdom, and uncover the strength we never knew we had.(正是在冲破逆境的过程中，我们铸就韧性、收获智慧，并发掘出那份从未被自己察觉的内在力量。)”可知，这句谚语是为了论证克服逆境能让人获得成长。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“In our own lives, courage doesn’t always mean grand achievements. It can be as simple as speaking up against injustice, trying again after a poor test result, or facing a fear of public speaking.(在我们的日常生活中，勇气不总是与惊天动地的成就挂钩。它可以是挺身而出反抗不公的决绝，可以是考试失利后重新振作的坚持，也可以是直面公众演讲恐惧的尝试。)”可知，勇气可以体现为遭遇挫折后重新努力。运动员在输掉比赛后更加刻苦训练，正是这种勇气的体现。故选B。 D “ChatGPT is a computer program that can understand and respond to text like a person. It’s like havinga conversation with a very smart robot,” says ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence text generator. In November of 2022, the computer program ChatGPT generated significant public interest across the globe for its broad applications and commercial value. This AI model demonstrated its ability to perform a variety of tasks, from generating book summaries, recommendations, and personal research assistance, to drafting college SOPs, essays, and emails. According to Ehsan Hoque, Associate Professor of Computer Science at UR, while the concepts used to build ChatGPT are not entirely new, combining them with this AI model marks a significant achievement in the field of AI engineering. With that being said, the system has also generated contention over its possible violation of academic honesty. The use of ChatGPT for homework assignments is a growing concern for professors across the globe. The University, on the other hand, has not addressed or made a statement on this matter. There are potential academic violations for homework and exams. One such case is Professor of Political Science and Business David Primo. He entered one of his previous test questions into ChatGPT, and ChatGPT got it exactly correct. Despite concerns, Primo understands that the issue of academic honesty is a concern that has existed and will exist forever. He talks about this as well as the many other negative uses of the internet, saying “The internet makes it easy to spread hateful messages and pirate music, but do you want to go back to a time where you couldn’t bank online, or listen to music online?” Primo also pictures this technological advancement being integrated into classes and assessments in the future. “Universities should move slowly here and let faculty members experiment with various approaches to AI and adapt to a world of AI,” said Primo. 12. What makes the program a great breakthrough? A. Its ability to perform various tasks. B. Its achievements in learning technology. C. Its wide application and commercial value. D. The combination of its concept and AI model. 13. What does the underlined word in the third paragraph mean? A. dispute B. support C. disadvantage D. mistake 14. What might Primo agree with regarding the use of ChatGPT? A. It is a double-edged sword. B. It has little impact on academia. C. Its advantages outweigh its disadvantages. D. It should be prohibited for academic integrity. 15. What is the text mainly about? A. ChatGPT demonstrates its great strength. B. ChatGPT generates great argument. C. ChatGPT arouses significant public interest. D. ChatGPT causes the potential academic violations. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。本文介绍了一种人工智能文本生成程序ChatGPT，它能像人一样理解和回应文本，如同与一个聪明的机器人对话。同时文章也揭露了由人工智能所引起的学术诚信的问题将会一直存在。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“According to Ehsan Hoque, Associate Professor of Computer Science at UR, while the concepts used to build ChatGPT are not entirely new, combining them with this AI model marks a significant achievement in the field of AI engineering.(根据UR计算机科学副教授Ehsan Hoque的说法，虽然用于构建ChatGPT的概念并不是全新的，但将它们与人工智能模型相结合标志着人工智能工程领域的重大成就。)”可知，尽管构建ChatGPT的概念并不完全新，但将其与AI模型结合在一起在AI工程领域取得了重大成就。故选D。 【13题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线词后的内容“…over its possible violation of academic honesty.( ......可能违反学术诚信。)”可知，这个系统也因可能违反学术诚信而引起了争论。故划线词与A选项“dispute(争论)”为同义词。故选A。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Primo also pictures this technological advancement being integrated into classes and assessments in the future. “Universities should move slowly here and let faculty members experiment with various approaches to AI and adapt to a world of AI,” said Primo.( Primo还描绘了这种技术进步在未来被整合到课堂和评估中。Primo说：“大学应该在这方面慢慢行动，让教师们试验各种人工智能方法，适应人工智能世界。”)”可知，Primo还描绘了这种技术进步在未来被整合到课堂和评估中。Primo认为大学应该在这方面慢慢行动，让教师们试验各种人工智能方法，适应人工智能的世界，由此推断，Primo认为ChatGPT的优点大于缺点。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段中“With that being said, the system has also generated contention over its possible violation of academic honesty. (话虽如此，该系统也引发了可能违反学术诚信的争论。)”以及第四段中“There are potential academic violations for homework and exams.(在家庭作业和考试中有潜在的学术违规。)”以及通读全文可知，文章主要讨论了ChatGPT引起了很大的争论，特别是在学术诚信方面。B选项“ChatGPT generates great argument.( ChatGPT产生了大量的争论。)”能概括全文。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。 How to build a healthy self-image Self-image is important because how we think about ourselves affects how we feel about ourselves and how we interact with the world around us. ____16____ Here are some ways you can build a healthy self-image. Praise others sincerely. Did you notice something good in another person? Praise it. The more you’re able to celebrate the positive experience of others, the more secure you’ll feel with yourself. ____17____ This practice of praising others can also help fight against the feelings of low self-worth. Experience and express gratitude. Practicing gratitude is another way to fight the unkind inner voice that may shape your self-image. Try starting a gratitude journal — this will encourage you to lay out the good things you’re thankful for. As you’re writing a journal, try to notice what you’re grateful for and what role you play in those things. ____18____ ____19____ We’ll grow and change in our lives as time goes by. But if you put in effort, that growth can happen faster and more effectively. Meanwhile, a big part of growth is being patient with yourself. For example, if you start a meditation (冥想), don’t expect to sit for half an hour right away. With more practice, meditating for 10 or 20 minutes daily could be your new routine. Take social media breaks. While it’s a big part of our lives, social media can be a huge contributing factor to our self-image. On social media, people tend to show themselves in their best states and not their unfavorable ones. ____20____ That’s why it’s important to take breaks from the digital world. It’s a continual process to develop a healthy self-image, but through meaningful practices, you can find a better self. A. Set strict goals for self-growth. B. Take action for self-growth with patience. C. These actions contribute to a positive self-view. D. Self-image is the personal view that we have of ourselves. E. So, we will look down on ourselves if we’re looking at it too much. F. A healthy self-image can improve our physical and mental well-being. G. By shining a light of positivity on others, it often reflects back onto you. 【答案】16. F 17. G 18. C 19. B 20. E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了建立健康的自我形象的四种方法——真诚赞美他人、培养感恩习惯、耐心自我成长、控制社交媒体使用。 【16题详解】 前文“Self-image is important because how we think about ourselves affects how we feel about ourselves and how we interact with the world around us. (自我形象至关重要，因为我们如何看待自己会影响自我感受以及与他人和周围环境的互动方式)”指出自我形象影响个体的情绪与行为，后文“Here are some ways you can build a healthy self-image. (以下是培养健康自我形象的一些方法)”引出培养健康自我形象的方法，此处是过渡句，应说明健康的自我形象的积极作用，因此F项“A healthy self-image can improve our physical and mental well-being. (健康的自我形象能提升身心健康)”符合语境，承前启后，其中的A healthy self-image在后一句有同词复现。故选F。 【17题详解】 前文“The more you’re able to celebrate the positive experience of others, the more secure you’ll feel with yourself. (你越是能够为他人获得的积极体验而喝彩，就越容易获得内心的安定感)”指出真诚赞美他人有助于提升自我安全感，后文“This practice of praising others can also help fight against the feelings of low self-worth. (这种赞美他人的行为，也能有效对抗自我价值感低落的负面情绪)”指出赞美他人还能帮助抵抗负面情绪，此处应该也描述赞美他人对自己的好处，因此G项“By shining a light of positivity on others, it often reflects back onto you. (将积极的光束投射他人时，光芒常会反射回你身上)”符合语境，用比喻描述赞美他人与反哺自我的关系，承前启后，符合题意。故选G。 【18题详解】 前文“Try starting a gratitude journal — this will encourage you to lay out the good things you’re thankful for. As you’re writing a journal, try to notice what you’re grateful for and what role you play in those things. (不妨尝试记录感恩日记——这会促使你梳理出生活中值得感激的美好事物。在书写过程中，要特别留意：你感激的究竟是什么？在这些美好中，你又扮演了怎样的角色)”建议用感恩日记关注自身在美好事物中的角色，此处是段末句，应总结这种实践对自我形象的积极影响，因此C项“These actions contribute to a positive self-view. (这些行动有助于形成积极的自我认知)”符合语境，承接前文，其中的these actions指代前文写日记、觉察等具体行为。故选C。 【19题详解】 后文“We’ll grow and change in our lives as time goes by. But if you put in effort, that growth can happen faster and more effectively. Meanwhile, a big part of growth is being patient with yourself. For example, if you start a meditation (冥想), don’t expect to sit for half an hour right away. (随着时间的流逝，我们的生活将会成长和改变。但如果你付出努力，这种增长就会更快、更有效。与此同时，成长的很大一部分是对自己有耐心。例如，如果你开始冥想，不要指望马上坐半个小时)”强调成长需要耐心，并举冥想为例，此处位于段首，是段落主旨句，需建议用耐心促进自我成长，且需和其他段首句一样使用祈使句的形式，因此B项“Take action for self-growth with patience. (以耐心付诸自我成长的行动)”符合语境，契合后文主旨。故选B。 【20题详解】 前文“On social media, people tend to show themselves in their best states and not their unfavorable ones. (在社交媒体上，人们倾向于展示自己最好的状态，而不是最糟糕的状态)”指出社交媒体往往片面展示最好状态的现象，后文“That’s why it’s important to take breaks from the digital world. (这就是为什么从数字世界中休息一下是很重要的)”总结要从数字世界中休息，此处是过渡句，应该指出这一现象的负面影响，因此E项“So, we will look down on ourselves if we’re looking at it too much. (因此，过度浏览社交媒体会导致自我贬低)”符合语境，和前后文构成完整的因果关系链。故选E。 第二部分 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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 My son had an intriguing idea for my birthday. “You want me to go…zip-lining (高空滑索)?” “Come on,” Marty ____21____. “You only turn 72 once.” “I’ll think about it.” I hoped that would be the ____22____, but Marty arrived full of excitement the next day.

Every night, she practiced lines in front of her bedroom mirror, perfecting graceful moves like the actresses in her favorite movies. When her middle school announced The Twelve Dancing Princesses, she spent weeks preparing — even borrowing her sister Diana’s ballet shoes, though they pinched (挤痛) her feet. “Pain is part of the art,” she told herself, imagining the strict drama teacher Mr. Ellison nodding in approval. But on casting day, her name was nowhere on the list. Mr. Ellison offered her a job on the stage crew (工作人员) instead. “You’ll learn how theater really works,” he said. Penny forced a smile, hiding her disappointment. Backstage life was quieter than she expected. Penny wore all black, disappearing into the shadows during rehearsals (排练). Sometimes, she mouthed the princesses’ lines silently, her hands tracing an imaginary crown. Opening night arrived as scheduled, but the lead actress got injured minutes before the curtain. Mr. Ellison scanned the crew, searching for someone who could step in. Here came an opportunity! Penny’s hand shot up. “I know the lines!” she said. He hesitated but handed her the princess’s dress. Unfortunately, the performance was a disaster. She stumbled over dances, mixed up scenes, and tripped up a prince. The audience’s laughter echoed in her ears. Afterward, she ran to her room, sobbing. Her sister Diana found her curled under the blankets. “Come,” she said, leading Penny to the roof. The night sky stretched endlessly. “Some stars can’t be seen now,” Diana murmured, “but their light is already traveling. It just takes time to reach us.” Penny wiped her tears. “What if my light never comes?” Diana squeezed her hands. “It will. You just have to keep trying.” Weeks later, Penny saw a poster for a new play: A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Auditions (试镜) were open and she was familiar with the character Helena. That night, Penny climbed to the roof alone. A single star flickered weakly. She traced its light with her finger, her sister’s words ringing in her ears. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Para. 1: “Why not try one more time?” Penny said to herself. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para. 2: On opening night, Penny stood behind the curtain. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Para. 1: “Why not try one more time?” Penny said to herself. As she thought of the audition, her heart beat faster — not with sadness, but with a slim hope, like a distant star shining. She picked up the script, held her head high, and started to practice. Each night, she practiced lines in front of the mirror, shaping Helena’s love and pain into every word. The ballet shoes that once pinched her now guided steady steps. When she forgot the lines, she paused, smiled and restarted — no tears, just determination. At the audition, her voice rang clearly, each emotion true. Mr. Ellison’s surprised nod said it all, “You’ve got the part.” Penny’s heart fluttered, a tiny star reigniting. Para. 2: On opening night, Penny stood behind the curtain. When the faint murmur of the audience reached her ears, her fingers unconsciously twisted the folds of her costume. Taking a deep breath, she tried to calm down. As the curtain rose, Penny closed her eyes, remembering Diana’s warm hands, the rooftop stars, and all those nights of practice. When she opened them, stage lights embraced her like old friends. Her movements flowed with grace and confidence. In the front row sat Diana smiling through proud tears. Standing there, bathed in cheers, Penny finally understood what Diana meant. Stars keep shining through the dark, no matter how long it takes. Every backstage hour, every stumble and every retry led to this moment. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Penny热爱表演却落选公主角色，在经历试镜失败后感觉沮丧，在姐姐的鼓励下重拾信心，决定再次尝试，准备参加新剧试镜的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容““为什么不再试一次呢？”Penny自言自语道。”可知，第一段可描写Penny决定再次尝试，她开始积极准备试镜，最终成功获得了角色。 ②由第二段首句内容“首映之夜，Penny站在窗帘后面。”可知，第二段可描写Penny在演出当晚的表现，她克服了紧张，自信地完成了表演，并理解了姐姐的话。 2.续写线索：决定再次尝试——积极准备试镜——成功获得角色——演出当晚紧张——回忆姐姐的话——自信完成表演——理解姐姐的话 3.词汇激活 行为类： ①练习台词：practiced lines/rehearsed the lines ②深呼吸：took a deep breath/breathed deeply ③拥抱：embraced/hugged 情绪类： ①惊讶的：surprised/astonished ②决心：determination/resolve 【点睛】【高分句型1】The ballet shoes that once pinched her now guided steady steps.(运用了that引导的定语从句) 【高分句型2】When she forgot the lines, she paused, smiled and restarted — no tears, just determination. (运用了When引导的状语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 阿克苏地区一中2024学年第二学期期末考试高二年级英语试卷 卷面分值：120分 考试时长：120分钟 注意事项： 1.答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卷上。将条形码准确粘贴在考生信息条形码粘贴区。 2.选择题必须使用2B铅笔填涂；非选择题必须使用0.5毫米黑色字迹的签字笔书写，字体工整、笔迹清楚。 3.请按照题号顺序在答题卡各题目的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效；在草稿纸、试卷上答题无效。 第一部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，共37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Green fields and hills give Ireland its “Emerald Isle” nickname. Rounding out all that unspoiled nature are ancient castles, historic villages, and pubs alive with traditional music. Here’s the best way to experience this colorful corner of Europe. Rocky coves The southwest’s rocky coves are rich with seaweed, revealing a little-known piece of Irish history. “In the past people couldn’t eat meat so they would go down around these shores and get laver, or sleabhac, as it’s high in protein,” says Kerryann O’Farrell of Atlantic Irish Seaweed, whose guides lead educational sea vegetable walks at Derrynane Harbour. Cape Clear Island Located eight miles off the southern coast, Cape Clear Island (Oileán Chleire) is one of Irish-speaking Gaeltacht areas, which can be found in seven counties and on some islands. On Cape, the former girls school now houses the Heritage Centre with exhibits on the island’s maritime history and culture. Don’t miss the goat milk ice cream at local favorite Cléire Goats. The River Corrib While Shop Street and Eyre Square draw the crowds, the Western neighborhood across the River Corrib is the soul of the city. Soak up the bohemian vibe at places like Bell Book and Candle, a treasure trove for new and second-hand books; the monthly Flea Style Market inside the Galway Arts Centre; and the Crane Bar, which features some of the city’s best “trad” fiddle and bodhrán players. Great Lighthouses of Ireland Great Lighthouses of Ireland offers a guide to noteworthy beacons around the country. One of the most remote, St. John’s Point Lighthouse rises at the end of a narrow peninsula in County Donegal, looking out to Donegal Bay and County Sligo. Stay overnight in Clipper or Schooner, the former lighthouse keepers’ residences, and experience the solitude of keeping watch. Naturally, there’s no Wi-Fi, so unwind and read a book beside the fire, or explore the headland at sunrise. 1. What can’t you do in Cape Clear Island? A. Appreciate local language. B. Try the goat milk ice cream. C Admire the island’s maritime history. D. Enjoy educational sea vegetable walks. 2 Which would be the best place for someone in need of an undisturbed place? A. Rocky coves. B. Cape Clear Island. C. The River Corrib. D. Great Lighthouses of Ireland. 3. The passage is most likely taken from ________. A. a news report B. an advertisement C. a travel brochure D. an encyclopedia B Jahkil Jackson is the creator of the famous Project I Am. Through the project, Jahkil looks to raise awareness for reducing homelessness in Chicago and beyond. Even at a very tender age, his deeds already drew the recognition of former U. S. President Barack Obama in 2017. Jahkil also pushes to motivate and influence fellow kids to get more active and useful in their communities. When he was five years old, Jahkil assisted his aunt in distributing food to the homeless in Chicago. Then the little boy was unhappy to find out that people could not afford a home. He was always eager to find out how he could offer help to people. And he would be mad for not being able to give money to anyone asking for help on the streets. He was determined to help the homeless in every way he could. That strong desire later gave birth to the Project I Am, his nonprofit organization, which focused on helping the homeless people. He founded it at the age of eight, and has since then never looked back on his journey of charity. Through Project I Am, Jahkil Jackson reaches out to the homeless by distributing “Blessing bags”. Provided in the blessing bags are diverse kinds of materials to help the needy, including wipes, hand sanitizers, toothbrushes, toothpaste, socks, bottled water, among other things. Jahkil Jackson is also one of the key workers in Dream for Kids, another nonprofit organization founded by Tom Tuohy, a social entrepreneur. Jahkil met with Tuohy at a Holiday for Hope event organized by the Dream for Kids. From there, he became the youngest ever student in the YES (Youth Enterprise Solution) program by the Dream For Kids. He has been working with them since then. 4. For what purpose did Jahkil create Project I Am? A. To get awards. B. To collect money. C. To do charity. D. To make friends. 5. How does Project I Am help? A. Doing voluntary work. B. Giving out daily necessities. C. Donating money to the poor. D. Offering shelters for the homeless. 6. Which of the following can best describe Jahkil? A. Friendly and sociable. B. Kind-hearted and generous. C. Energetic and powerful. D. Innocent and thoughtful. 7. What’s the best title of the text? A. New Homes for the Homeless B. An Anti-poverty Project in Chicago C. Do Your Charity at an Early Age D. Jahkil Jackson and His Blessing Bags C Facing Adversity with Courage Life is full of challenges, and adversity is something everyone must face at some point. Whether it’s failing an exam, dealing with family struggles, or overcoming personal fears, difficult moments test our strength. However, it is courage — not the absence of fear — that helps us rise above these challenges. History and daily life are filled with examples of people who turned obstacles into opportunities. Helen Keller, who lost her sight and hearing as a child, could have given up on life. Instead, with relentless effort and the guidance of her teacher, Anne Sullivan, she learned to read, write, and even speak. Later, she became the first deaf-blind person to earn a college degree. Her story proves that courage and perseverance can conquer even the toughest barriers. Similarly, Thomas Edison failed thousands of times before inventing the light bulb. When asked about his struggles, he famously said, “I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.” His determination shows that failure is not the end but a lesson leading to success. In our own lives, courage doesn’t always mean grand achievements. It can be as simple as speaking up against injustice, trying again after a poor test result, or facing a fear of public speaking. Every small act of bravery strengthens our resilience. Adversity shapes character. Those who confront challenges with courage often emerge stronger and wiser. Instead of fearing obstacles, we should see them as opportunities to grow. Just as storms force trees to grow deeper roots, hardships help us develop inner strength. Ultimately, life’s difficulties are not meant to defeat us but to prepare us for greater things. By embracing courage, we can turn setbacks into stepping stones toward success. As the saying goes, “Smooth seas do not make skillful sailors.” It is through overcoming adversity that we build resilience, gain wisdom, and uncover the strength we never knew we had. 8. According to Paragraph 1, what is the essential quality for overcoming life’s challenges? A. The absence of fear B. Strong personal abilities C. Courage D. Avoiding difficult situations 9. What do Helen Keller and Thomas Edison have in common according to the text? A. They were both born with disabilities. B. They succeeded because of good teachers. C. They overcame difficulties through persistence. D. They became famous inventors in the world. 10. What can we infer from the saying “Smooth seas do not make skillful sailors” (last paragraph)? A. Comfortable life leads to success. B. Experiencing challenges helps people grow. C. Good weather conditions improve sailing skills. D. Avoiding problems is the best life strategy. 11. Which situation BEST demonstrates the article’s message about courage? A. A student copies homework to avoid punishment. B. An athlete trains harder after losing a competition. C. A boy gives up piano because it’s too difficult. D. A girl blames others for her low test scores. D “ChatGPT is a computer program that can understand and respond to text like a person. It’s like havinga conversation with a very smart robot,” says ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence text generator. In November of 2022, the computer program ChatGPT generated significant public interest across the globe for its broad applications and commercial value. This AI model demonstrated its ability to perform a variety of tasks, from generating book summaries, recommendations, and personal research assistance, to drafting college SOPs, essays, and emails. According to Ehsan Hoque, Associate Professor of Computer Science at UR, while the concepts used to build ChatGPT are not entirely new, combining them with this AI model marks a significant achievement in the field of AI engineering. With that being said, the system has also generated contention over its possible violation of academic honesty. The use of ChatGPT for homework assignments is a growing concern for professors across the globe. The University, on the other hand, has not addressed or made a statement on this matter. There are potential academic violations for homework and exams. One such case is Professor of Political Science and Business David Primo. He entered one of his previous test questions into ChatGPT, and ChatGPT got it exactly correct. Despite concerns, Primo understands that the issue of academic honesty is a concern that has existed and will exist forever. He talks about this as well as the many other negative uses of the internet, saying “The internet makes it easy to spread hateful messages and pirate music, but do you want to go back to a time where you couldn’t bank online, or listen to music online?” Primo also pictures this technological advancement being integrated into classes and assessments in the future. “Universities should move slowly here and let faculty members experiment with various approaches to AI and adapt to a world of AI,” said Primo. 12. What makes the program a great breakthrough? A. Its ability to perform various tasks. B. Its achievements in learning technology. C. Its wide application and commercial value. D. The combination of its concept and AI model. 13. What does the underlined word in the third paragraph mean? A. dispute B. support C. disadvantage D. mistake 14. What might Primo agree with regarding the use of ChatGPT? A. It is a double-edged sword. B. It has little impact on academia. C. Its advantages outweigh its disadvantages. D. It should be prohibited for academic integrity. 15. What is the text mainly about? A. ChatGPT demonstrates its great strength. B. ChatGPT generates great argument. C. ChatGPT arouses significant public interest. D. ChatGPT causes the potential academic violations. 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。 How to build a healthy self-image Self-image is important because how we think about ourselves affects how we feel about ourselves and how we interact with the world around us. ____16____ Here are some ways you can build a healthy self-image. Praise others sincerely. Did you notice something good in another person? Praise it. The more you’re able to celebrate the positive experience of others the more secure you’ll feel with yourself. ____17____ This practice of praising others can also help fight against the feelings of low self-worth. Experience and express gratitude. Practicing gratitude is another way to fight the unkind inner voice that may shape your self-image. Try starting a gratitude journal — this will encourage you to lay out the good things you’re thankful for. As you’re writing a journal, try to notice what you’re grateful for and what role you play in those things. ____18____ ____19____ We’ll grow and change in our lives as time goes by. But if you put in effort, that growth can happen faster and more effectively. Meanwhile, a big part of growth is being patient with yourself. For example, if you start a meditation (冥想), don’t expect to sit for half an hour right away. With more practice, meditating for 10 or 20 minutes daily could be your new routine. Take social media breaks. While it’s a big part of our lives, social media can be a huge contributing factor to our self-image. On social media, people tend to show themselves in their best states and not their unfavorable ones. ____20____ That’s why it’s important to take breaks from the digital world. It’s a continual process to develop a healthy self-image, but through meaningful practices, you can find a better self. A. Set strict goals for self-growth. B. Take action for self-growth with patience. C. These actions contribute to a positive self-view. D. Self-image is the personal view that we have of ourselves. E. So, we will look down on ourselves if we’re looking at it too much. F. A healthy self-image can improve our physical and mental well-being. G.

Every night, she practiced lines in front of her bedroom mirror, perfecting graceful moves like the actresses in her favorite movies. When her middle school announced The Twelve Dancing Princesses, she spent weeks preparing — even borrowing her sister Diana’s ballet shoes, though they pinched (挤痛) her feet. “Pain is part of the art,” she told herself, imagining the strict drama teacher Mr. Ellison nodding in approval. But on casting day, her name was nowhere on the list. Mr. Ellison offered her a job on the stage crew (工作人员) instead. “You’ll learn how theater really works,” he said. Penny forced a smile, hiding her disappointment. Backstage life was quieter than she expected. Penny wore all black, disappearing into the shadows during rehearsals (排练). Sometimes, she mouthed the princesses’ lines silently, her hands tracing an imaginary crown. Opening night arrived as scheduled, but the lead actress got injured minutes before the curtain. Mr. Ellison scanned the crew, searching for someone who could step in. Here came an opportunity! Penny’s hand shot up. “I know the lines!” she said. He hesitated but handed her the princess’s dress. Unfortunately, the performance was a disaster. She stumbled over dances, mixed up scenes, and tripped up a prince. The audience’s laughter echoed in her ears. Afterward, she ran to her room, sobbing. Her sister Diana found her curled under the blankets. “Come,” she said, leading Penny to the roof. The night sky stretched endlessly. “Some stars can’t be seen now,” Diana murmured, “but their light is already traveling. It just takes time to reach us.” Penny wiped her tears. “What if my light never comes?” Diana squeezed her hands. “It will. You just have to keep trying.” Weeks later, Penny saw a poster for a new play: A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Auditions (试镜) were open and she was familiar with the character Helena. That night, Penny climbed to the roof alone. A single star flickered weakly. She traced its light with her finger, her sister’s words ringing in her ears. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Para. 1: “Why not try one more time?” Penny said to herself. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para. 2: On opening night, Penny stood behind the curtain. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
