W: I’d like to do that. But I don’t want to take time away from my studies. M: Well, then why don’t you join a study group?

Earlier this week, we heard about Milton, the dog that traveled over three thousand miles to meet his family. When the Johnson family moved from California to New York, they couldn’t find their dog. And they were sad to leave him behind. About a month later, Milton showed up at their doorstep in New York. We cannot believe how far this dog traveled. The family will be doing an interview in the studio tomorrow morning. In other news, there has been an outbreak of car thefts in Orange County this week. About ten cars were stolen from outside their owners’ homes on Monday. If you see or hear anything, please call 911. About ten people found themselves stuck on a roller coaster after a breakdown at the Six Flags Theme Park on Tuesday in Union City. The victims swung upside down for around three minutes as staff worked to restart the roller coaster. Fortunately, no one was hurt. Six Flags has said that they checked their rides very seriously and that this was simply an unfortunate accident. That’s it for the news. When we come back from a commercial break, Michelle Smith will be here with the weather report. 第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A Cornell University Summer Session 2025 Cornell University Summer Session offers regular Cornell courses taught by outstanding university instructors.

Senior high school students are qualified to participate in summer residential, online, and commuter programs (走读课程) through Pre-college Studies.( 注册对所有人开放——从康奈尔大学或其他大学的本科生到专业人士、校友和感兴趣的成年人。高中学生有资格通过大学预科学习参加暑期住宿、在线和通勤课程。)”可知，康奈尔大学的校友可以参加暑期课程。故选B项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“With choices of 3-, 6-, or 8-week sessions (from May to August), most classes leave time for travel or a summer job.( 课程分为3周、6周或8周（从5月到8月），大多数课程都会留出时间去旅行或做暑期工作。)”可知，2025年康奈尔大学暑期课程有3周、6周或8周的课程选择，时间安排灵活。故选D项。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Top 5 reasons to take a Summer Session course”中的“Possibly speed up your degree by earning extra credits(可能通过获得额外学分来加快完成你的学位。)”可知，参加暑期课程可以获得额外学分，可能会加快学位进程。故选C项。 B In a world that often rushes past quiet moments, a retired Canadian is making sure you know you are not alone, offering a simple act of kindness through a free listening service. Paul travels across Canada, offering strangers a safe space to speak their hearts. No therapy (治疗), no advice — just time, presence, . and compassion (同情). Paul’s project, I Will Listen, is grounded in the belief that everyone deserves to be heard. He sets up two chairs and a small table in public areas, inviting passers-by to sit and talk. What unfolds is often unexpected — weakness, reflection, and human connection. “I’m there as a fellow human to make connections,” said Paul. “I just create that safe space for them, a little bit like the stranger on the airplane that you’re never going to see again.” Backed by his decades of work as a registered social worker in Nova Scotia and his experience advocating for elder care, Paul brings an empathetic (感同身受的) calm to each meeting. Now 70 years old, Paul offers more than a chair and a listening ear. His own life has been marked by physical pain, and personal loss. These personal struggles allow him to relate to others on a deeper level. Still, Paul doesn’t position himself as an expert in anyone’s story. Instead, he listens with intention, allowing others to lead the conversation. This emotional support service is rooted in humility. What makes this free listening service so powerful is its simplicity. There’s no script (剧本), no time limit, and no cost. People can talk about anything — from hardships to small joys, volunteer efforts, and random thoughts. Paul offers confidentiality to those speaking to him, ensuring what they share is kept safe and secret. That promise of safety, combined with the knowledge that they likely won’t see him again, gives many the courage to open up. These moments of sharing remind people of their worth and the value of being heard—a subtle but impactful form of mental health support. 24. What does Paul’s project I Will Listen offer strangers? A. A way to release. B. Practical advice. C. Financial support. D. A professional therapy. 25. To those speakers, which word can be used to describe Paul’s identity? A. Professional. B. Confusing. C. Alarming. D. Temporary. 26. What mainly made Paul fit for the role of a listener? A. His free time. B. His life experiences. C. His personal interest. D. His wish to help others. 27. What does the underlined word “confidentiality” mean in paragraph 6? A. Help. B. Advice. C. Privacy. D. Confidence. 【答案】24. A 25. D 26. B 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了加拿大退休老人保罗发起“我愿意倾听”项目，在各地为陌生人提供免费倾听服务，以无建议、无治疗的纯粹陪伴，给予他人情感支持的善举。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“In a world that often rushes past quiet moments, a retired Canadian is making sure you know you are not alone, offering a simple act of kindness through a free listening service. Paul travels across Canada, offering strangers a safe space to speak their hearts. No therapy (治疗), no advice — just time, presence, and compassion (同情). (在一个常常匆匆掠过宁静时刻的世界里，一位加拿大退休老人正努力让你知道你并不孤单，他通过一项免费的倾听服务提供简单的善举。保罗游历加拿大各地，为陌生人提供一个倾诉心声的安全空间。没有治疗，没有建议——只有时间、陪伴和同情。)”可知，保罗的项目为陌生人提供安全的倾诉渠道，不涉及治疗或建议，核心是让人们释放内心情绪，因此是一种“释放的方式”。故选A项。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“I just create that safe space for them, a little bit like the stranger on the airplane that you’re never going to see again. (我只是为他们创造一个安全的空间，有点像飞机上那个你再也不会见到的陌生人。)”可知，保罗对倾诉者而言，就像一次性相遇的陌生人，身份具有临时性。故选D项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Backed by his decades of work as a registered social worker in Nova Scotia and his experience advocating for elder care, Paul brings an empathetic (感同身受的) calm to each meeting. Now 70 years old, Paul offers more than a chair and a listening ear. His own life has been marked by physical pain, and personal loss. These personal struggles allow him to relate to others on a deeper level. (凭借在新斯科舍省担任注册社会工作者数十年的工作经历以及倡导老年护理的经验，保罗在每次会面中都能带来感同身受的平静。如今70岁的保罗提供的不仅仅是一把椅子和一双倾听的耳朵。他自己的人生也经历过身体上的痛苦和个人的损失。这些个人经历让他能在更深层次上与他人产生共鸣。)”可知，保罗的社会工作经验和个人人生经历，让他具备了成为倾听者的适配能力。故选B项。 【27题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第六段中的“Paul offers confidentiality to those speaking to him, ensuring what they share is kept safe and secret. (保罗向那些与他交谈的人提供保密性保障，确保他们分享的内容安全且保密。)”可知，破折号后“ensuring what they share is kept safe and secret”是对“confidentiality”的解释，意为“确保分享内容安全保密”，因此“confidentiality”意为“隐私、保密性”，与“Privacy”语义一致。故选C项。 C Globally, 14% of new cars sold in 2022 were electric — up from 9% in 2021 and just 5% in 2020 — and sales rose 25% in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the same period the year before. China leads with 60% of global Electric Vehicle (EV) sales, followed by Europe and the U.S. Newer markets like India and Thailand are also seeing growth, and in Norway over 80% of new cars are electric, though the U.S. only hit 4.6% in 2022 (20% in California) with analysts predicting 45% in a little over a decade. EVs have clear advantages: they run without gasoline or ethanol, producing zero tailpipe emissions, and they are quiet, requiring less maintenance than gas-powered vehicles. Some can even supply electricity to homes in emergencies. Fred Lambert, lead writer for EV news site Electrek, adds, “they’re so much more fun to drive,” a less obvious but notable benefit. A major concern for buyers is “range anxiety” — fear of running out of charge — worsened by just around 46,000 U.S. charging stations (vs. 150,000 gas stations) and some unreliable chargers. However, Tesla is opening its reliable superchargers to other brands, the Biden Administration is providing $7.5 billion to expand the U.S. charger network, and many EVs now have longer ranges (the Lucid Air claims 500 miles, with several options over 300 miles); plus, the U.S. average daily commute is only 30 miles. Jim Motavalli, auto columnist for Barron’s, adds, “when people buy EVs, they’ll find that 85 percent of their charging is at home anyway. You’re not actually going to need or want to use public charger s most of the time.” While EVs have environmental costs from emissions of battery production, lithium mining and transportation, traditional cars release far more emissions generated by fuel consumption over their lifetimes. Solutions like better mining tech, longer-lasting batteries, and growing battery recycling can reduce these issues. Critics argue EVs don’t solve too many cars or gridlock, but Lambert sums up: “Go drive one, do the math, and let your logic take over. When you do, you’ll always end up with electric vehicles — it’s the more logical solution every time.” 28. Which statement is true according to the passage? A. China sells over half of the world’s EVs. B. Europe leads in global electric vehicle sales. C. The U.S. has more EV charger s than gas stations. D. Norway has the world’s highest EV adoption rate. 29. What is a solution to ease “range anxiety” for EV owners? A. Reducing EV battery charging costs. B. Decreasing daily commuting distances. C. Expanding unreliable charging networks. D. Popularizing the installation of home chargers. 30. What can we infer about the environmental impact of EVs? A. Lithium mining issues are unsolvable for EVs. B. EVs are pollution-free due to zero tailpipe emissions. C. Battery production makes EVs worse than gasoline cars. D EVs beat gas vehicles on environmental costs long-termly. 31. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To promote EV sales globally. B. To compare EVs in different countries. C. To justify EVs as a logically better choice. D. To discuss EVs’ advantages over gas vehicles. 【答案】28. A 29. D 30. D 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要介绍2022年以来全球电动汽车的销售情况、优势，分析“里程焦虑”等问题及解决办法，还探讨其环境影响，最终论证电动汽车是更合理的选择。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“China leads with 60% of global Electric Vehicle (EV) sales, followed by Europe and the U.S. (中国以全球60%的电动汽车销量领先，其次是欧洲和美国。)”可知，中国销售的电动汽车占全球销量的60%，即超过一半。故选A项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Jim Motavalli, auto columnist for Barron’s, adds, “when people buy EVs, they’ll find that 85 percent of their charging is at home anyway. You’re not actually going to need or want to use public chargers most of the time.” (《巴伦周刊》的汽车专栏作家吉姆·莫塔瓦利补充道：“当人们购买电动汽车后，会发现85%的充电其实都是在家完成的。大多数时候，你实际上并不需要也不想使用公共充电桩。”)”可知，推广家用充电桩的安装，让车主主要在家充电，可缓解“里程焦虑”。故选D项。 30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“While EVs have environmental costs from emissions of battery production, lithium mining and transportation, traditional cars release far more emissions generated by fuel consumption over their lifetimes. (尽管电动汽车在电池生产、锂矿开采和运输过程中会产生环境成本，但传统汽车在其使用寿命内，因燃料消耗产生的排放量要多得多。)”可知，从长期来看，电动汽车在环境成本方面优于燃油汽车。故选D项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段中的“Lambert sums up: “Go drive one, do the math, and let your logic take over. When you do, you’ll always end up with electric vehicles — it’s the more logical solution every time.” (兰伯特总结道：“去开一辆试试，算算账，让逻辑做主。当你这样做了，最终都会选择电动汽车——它每次都是更合理的解决方案。”)”可知，文章通过介绍电动汽车的销量、优势、问题及解决办法、环境影响，最终目的是论证电动汽车是更合理的选择。故选C项。 D Several years ago, Jason Box, a scientist from Ohio, flew 31 giant rolls of white plastic to a glacier (冰川) in Greenland. He and his team spread them across 10, 000 feet of ice, then left. His idea was that the white blanket would reflect back the rays of the sun, keeping the ice cool below. When he came back to check the results, he found it worked. Exposed ice had melted faster than covered ice. He had not only saved two feet of glacier in a short time. No coal plants were shut down, no jobs were lost, and nobody was taxed or fired. Just the sort of fix we’re looking for. “Thank you, but no thank you,” says Ralph King, a climate scientist. He told Grey Childs, author and commentator, that people think technology can save the planet, “but there are other things we need to deal with, like consumption. They burned $50, 000 just for the helicopter” to bring the plastic to the glacier. This experiment, quote­unquote, gives people false hope that climate change can be fixed without changing human behavior. It can’t. Technology won’t give us a free ride. Individuals respond to climate change differently. Climatologist Kelly Smith is hardly alone in her prediction that someday soon we won’t be climate victims, we will be climate choosers. More scientists agree with her that if the human race survives, the engineers will get smarter, the tools will get better, and one day we will control the climate. But what then? “Just the mention of us controlling the climate sent a small shiver down my back,” Grey writes. “Something sounded wrong about stopping ice ages by our own will,” he says. Me? I like it better when the earth takes care of itself. I guess one day we will have to run the place, but for the moment, sitting at my desk, looking out at the trees bending wildly and the wind howling, I’m happy not to be in charge. 32. Why does the author mention Jason Box’s experiment in the first paragraph? A. To report on a successful experiment on saving the glacier. B. To describe a misleading attempt to fix the climate. C. To introduce a possible solution to climate change. D. To arouse people’s attention to the problem of global warming. 33. Which statement would Ralph King most probably agree with? A. The fight against climate change will not succeed. B. Jason’s experiment plays a significant role in fixing climate change. C. It’s best to deal with climate change without changing our behavior. D. Technology is not the final solution, let alone its high cost. 34. What is Grey Childs’s attitude to human’s controlling the climate? A. Doubtful. B. Tolerant. C. Favorable. D. Unclear. 35. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. How can we take care of the earth? B. Is climate change a real problem? C. But should we fix the climate? D. What if all the glaciers disappeared? 【答案】32. B 33. D 34. A 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是几位科学家对控制气候变化的论述。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段的“Several years ago, Jason Box, a scientist from Ohio, flew 31 giant rolls of white plastic to a glacier (冰川) in Greenland. He and his team spread them across 10, 000 feet of ice, then left. His idea was that the white blanket would reflect back the rays of the sun, keeping the ice cool below.(几年前，来自Ohio的科学家Jason Box将31卷巨大的白色塑料空运到了格陵兰鸟的一座冰川上。他和他的团队把它们铺在一万英尺的冰面上，然后离开。他的想法是，白色的塑料会反射太阳光，保持下面的冰凉爽)”以及第二段的“This experiment, quote­unquote, gives people false hope that climate change can be fixed without changing human behavior. It can't. Technology won't give us a free ride.(这个所谓的实验给了人们错误的希望，认为气候变化可以在不改变人类行为的情况下得到解决。它不能。科技不会让我们搭便车)”可知，第一段介绍了一个名叫Jason Box的科学家做了一个试验，尝试用白色塑料覆盖冰川，以达到保护冰川的目的。然而第二段提到这给了人们错误的希望，从而引出后文对人类干预气候的可行性的探讨，因此作者在第一段提到Jason Box的实验，是为了描述一种具有误导性的试图解决气候问题的尝试。故选B。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段的“He told Grey Childs, author and commentator, that people think technology can save the planet, “but there are other things we need to deal with, like consumption. They burned $50, 000 just for the helicopter” to bring the plastic to the glacier. This experiment, quote­unquote, gives people false hope that climate change can be fixed without changing human behavior. It can't. Technology won't give us a free ride.(他告诉作家兼评论家Grey Childs，人们认为科技可以拯救星球，但是还有其他的事情需要我们处理，比如说消耗。他们花了5万美元买了一架“把塑料运到冰川”的直升机。这个实验给了人们错误的希望，认为气候变化可以在不改变人类行为的情况下得到解决。它不能。科技不会让我们搭便车)”可知，Ralph King认为我们还是需要通过自己的行为来拯救星球而不是一味的依靠科技，并且科技的成本也很昂贵，因此Ralph King认为技术并不是最终的解决方案，更不用说其高昂的成本了。故选D。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段““Just the mention of us controlling the climate sent a small shiver down my back,” Grey writes. “Something sounded wrong about stopping ice ages by our own will,” he says.(格雷写道：“只要一提到我们控制气候，我就会打个寒颤。”他说：“凭我们自己的意志阻止冰河时代听起来有些不对。”)”可知，Grey Childs认为靠我们自己的意愿阻止结冰听起来是有些不对劲的，因此他对人类控制气候的态度是怀疑的，故选A。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。文章第一段“Several years ago, Jason Box, a scientist from Ohio, flew 31 giant rolls of white plastic to a glacier (冰川) in Greenland. He and his team spread them across 10, 000 feet of ice, then left. His idea was that the white blanket would reflect back the rays of the sun, keeping the ice cool below.(几年前，来自Ohio的科学家Jason Box将31卷巨大的白色塑料空运到了格陵兰鸟的一座冰川上。他和他的团队把它们铺在一万英尺的冰面上，然后离开。他的想法是，白色的塑料会反射太阳光，保持下面的冰凉爽)”引出控制气候变化的极端例子，后文列举不同的科学家对于控制气候的观点，再根据文章最后一段“Me? I like it better when the earth takes care of itself, I guess one day we will have to run the place, but for the moment, sitting at my desk, looking out at the trees bending wildly and the wind howling, I’m happy not to be in charge. (我吗?我更喜欢地球自己照顾自己的时候，我想有一天我们将不得不管理这个地方，但此刻，坐在我的办公桌前，看着树木疯狂地弯曲，风咆哮着，我很高兴自己不再是负责人)”提出更喜欢地球自己照料自己，即反对人类控制气候，因此本文主要讲的是人类是否应该控制气候，因此C选项“But should we fix the climate? (但是我们应该解决气候问题吗？)”可概括本文主要内容，为文章标题，故选C。 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。 There was once a lonely girl who longed so much for love.

A 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇哲理性的故事。一个孤独的小女孩很渴望爱。一天，她遇到两只快要饿死的小鸟，就带回家养着，鸟也反馈给她很多的爱。一天，一只鸟飞出了笼子，小女孩怕鸟飞走，当鸟靠近她时，她太用力把鸟捏死了。同时，她感受到了另一只鸟渴望自由，就把另一只鸟放了。鸟落在她肩膀唱起了最甜美的歌。这个故事告诉我们：握得太紧爱就会失去，保存爱的方式是给它自由。 【36题详解】 空格位于段中。空格前一句话意思是：一天她走在森林里时发现了两只快要饿死的鸟。空格后一句话意思是：她用爱来关心它们，小鸟长得很强壮。可推知，小女孩把小鸟带回了家。选项D中的“took them home”符合语境，并且选项D中的“a small cage”与下文中的cage呼应。故选D。 【37题详解】 空格位于段首。由空格后的The larger and the stronger of the two birds flew from the cage.（大点强壮点的鸟从笼子里飞了出去）可知，笼子门被打开了。选项F中的“left the door of the cage open”符合情境。故选F。 【38题详解】 空格位于段中。空格上句意思为：她成功抓住了鸟她很开心。空格下句意思为：她张开手，惊恐的发现鸟死了。选项G中的she felt the bird go softly（她感觉到鸟变软）符合语境，故选G。 【39题详解】 空格位于段中。空格后句意为：鸟盘旋了一次、两次、三次。由“circle（盘旋）”可知，小女孩把鸟放了出去，因为小笼子里太小鸟无法盘旋。选项E中的threw him softly into the air符合语境，故选E。 【40题详解】 空格位于段中。空格前句意为：小女孩开心的看着鸟的乐趣。空格后一句意思为：她想要鸟高兴。可知本段是一个快乐的基调，选项A中的“no longer concerned with her loss（不再关注在失去上）”符合语境。故选A。 【点睛】七选五题目主要考查学生综合的英语逻辑思维能力。一篇好的短文，不仅在内容上要前后一致，而且还要语篇结构清晰，上下文逻辑意义严谨。内容的前后一致体现在段内及语篇内话题的自然过渡。语篇结构主要体现为：文章是总分结构，还是按时间或空间顺序发展的，还是辩证三段论的编排的。逻辑意义的严谨最主要的可以通过代词、连词和副词等形式来体现。本文是一篇记叙文，相对来说比较容易，同学们只要按照事件发生顺序合情推断就可以解出一些题。但是要确定自己做的答案是否正确，还是需要一定的检查技能。例如第一题根据句意选好答案后，我们可以认为Every morning they greeted her with a wonderful song与home 呼应， a small cage 与下文中的 small cage也呼应。所以确定答案正确。第二题one day是引出故事的常用词。第三题suddenly与in horror呼应，第四题into the air 与 circle 呼应，且与上段中的great need for freedom 呼应，与文章最后一句中的 give it wings 呼应。第五题心情基调一致。这些技巧是我们第一遍做完题进一步确认答案的方法，大家多积累。 第三部分 语言知识运用（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。 During a work break last spring, I was checking my Facebook when I noticed a friend request among the notifications (通知).

Every day is Monday, eight days a week. That was my motto. As I climbed the ladder to start my day, I was thinking there was not enough time in the day, week, even the month to do all the work that came my way. It was the same routine every day. Wake up early, call the boss, get an address, work eight, ten, sometimes twelve hours, go home exhausted, fall asleep, get up and do it again. However, after years of “eight days a week” grind (苦差事), I made my phone call one morning to hear, “I’m sorry, Bill. I’ve got nothing going on today. Things seem to be slowing down.” After that, eight days a week soon became six, then five and three. Before I knew it,the routine call became “Sorry, Bill, I’ve got nothing for you to do. I’ll call you when some work comes in.” After waiting every day for the next week, I couldn’t stand it anymore. I picked up the phone and called my boss. “Sorry, Bill. I’ve got nothing.” One day off was great, and two days were even pretty nice, but now it had been almost three weeks. Panic started to set in. I paced around the house, noticing the pile of bank bills growing with each day’s mail delivery, together with some flyers (广告传单). For the first time in my life I had no idea how I would live. I went out to the back yard. Faced with perfect roofing weather, my eyes stung with tears until I couldn’t hold them back. As they spilled down my face, I had a complete emotional meltdown. Looking at the sunlight glistening through the trees, I pulled myself together, deciding that things must be changed. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I began my journey to self-help. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ This first roofing job opened the door to many more. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I began my journey to self-help. First, I designed a flyer on which I listed the expertise I was armed with and even showed the roofs I once perfectly finished. I then printed it and spent the next two days walking door-to-door in nearby neighborhoods, putting flyers in mailboxes and chatting with anyone outside. Besides, I created an account on social media to advertise for myself. Waiting was suffering, but three days later, my phone rang. An elderly lady had seen my flyer and contacted me to repair her roof which was leaking badly. Excitement raced through my body. It wasn’t just about a job-it was about reclaiming my future. This first roofing job opened the door to many more. The lady was so pleased with my work that she recommended me to her neighbors. Soon, my phone began to ring regularly with small repair requests. Each completed job boosted my confidence and expanded my network. At the same time, I shared before-and-after photos of my projects online. Within months, I started my own business and have been working steadily ever since. Now, each of my days begins with opportunity rather than fear. The “eight days a week” grind was replaced by purposeful work I controlled — still demanding, yet deeply fulfilling. Every day is Monday, eight days a week. That’s still my motto. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，作者讲述了自己作为屋顶工长期忙碌工作，后工作锐减，陷入无活可干的困境，面临经济压力而恐慌。他决定自救，制作并发放传单、在社交媒体宣传，最终迎来工作，开启创业，生活重燃希望。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我开始了我的自我帮助之旅。”可知，第一段可描写作者为了获得工作机会，设计并分发传单，同时在社交媒体上宣传自己，最终获得第一份屋顶维修工作的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“这第一份屋顶维修工作为我打开了更多工作的大门。”可知，第二段可描写作者凭借出色的工作表现获得客户推荐，逐渐建立起自己的事业，并过上了充满机会的生活。 2.续写线索： 设计传单并分发——社交媒体宣传——获得第一份工作——出色完成工作获得推荐——建立自己的事业——过上充满机会的生活 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①设计：design/create/devise ②创建账户：create an account/set up an account/register for an account ③联系：contact/get in touch with/reach out to 情绪类 ①兴奋：excitement /thrill/exhilaration ②满意的：pleased/satisfied/content 【点睛】【高分句型1】 An elderly lady had seen my flyer and contacted me to repair her roof which was leaking badly.（运用了关系词which引导的定语从句） 【高分句型2】The lady was so pleased with my work that she recommended me to her neighbors.（运用了so...that...引导的结果状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高2023级高三第二次诊断性模拟考试 英语 本试卷分为试题卷和答题卡两部分，其中试题卷由第I卷（选择题）和第II卷（非选择题）组成，共10页；答题卡共2页。满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 第I卷（选择题，共95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. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 When does the main movie start?

B In a world that often rushes past quiet moments, a retired Canadian is making sure you know you are not alone, offering a simple act of kindness through a free listening service. Paul travels across Canada, offering strangers a safe space to speak their hearts. No therapy (治疗), no advice — just time, presence, . and compassion (同情). Paul’s project, I Will Listen, is grounded in the belief that everyone deserves to be heard. He sets up two chairs and a small table in public areas, inviting passers-by to sit and talk. What unfolds is often unexpected — weakness, reflection, and human connection. “I’m there as a fellow human to make connections,” said Paul. “I just create that safe space for them, a little bit like the stranger on the airplane that you’re never going to see again.” Backed by his decades of work as a registered social worker in Nova Scotia and his experience advocating for elder care, Paul brings an empathetic (感同身受的) calm to each meeting. Now 70 years old, Paul offers more than a chair and a listening ear. His own life has been marked by physical pain, and personal loss. These personal struggles allow him to relate to others on a deeper level. Still, Paul doesn’t position himself as an expert in anyone’s story. Instead, he listens with intention, allowing others to lead the conversation. This emotional support service is rooted in humility. What makes this free listening service so powerful is its simplicity. There’s no script (剧本), no time limit, and no cost. People can talk about anything — from hardships to small joys, volunteer efforts, and random thoughts. Paul offers confidentiality to those speaking to him, ensuring what they share is kept safe and secret. That promise of safety, combined with the knowledge that they likely won’t see him again, gives many the courage to open up. These moments of sharing remind people of their worth and the value of being heard—a subtle but impactful form of mental health support. 24. What does Paul’s project I Will Listen offer strangers? A. A way to release. B. Practical advice. C. Financial support. D. A professional therapy. 25. To those speakers, which word can be used to describe Paul’s identity? A. Professional. B. Confusing. C. Alarming. D. Temporary. 26. What mainly made Paul fit for the role of a listener? A. His free time. B. His life experiences. C. His personal interest. D. His wish to help others. 27. What does the underlined word “confidentiality” mean in paragraph 6? A. Help. B. Advice. C. Privacy. D. Confidence. C Globally, 14% of new cars sold in 2022 were electric — up from 9% in 2021 and just 5% in 2020 — and sales rose 25% in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the same period the year before. China leads with 60% of global Electric Vehicle (EV) sales, followed by Europe and the U.S. Newer markets like India and Thailand are also seeing growth, and in Norway over 80% of new cars are electric, though the U.S. only hit 4.6% in 2022 (20% in California) with analysts predicting 45% in a little over a decade. EVs have clear advantages: they run without gasoline or ethanol, producing zero tailpipe emissions, and they are quiet, requiring less maintenance than gas-powered vehicles. Some can even supply electricity to homes in emergencies. Fred Lambert, lead writer for EV news site Electrek, adds, “they’re so much more fun to drive,” a less obvious but notable benefit. A major concern for buyers is “range anxiety” — fear of running out of charge — worsened by just around 46000 U.S. charging stations (vs. 150,000 gas stations) and some unreliable chargers. However, Tesla is opening its reliable superchargers to other brands, the Biden Administration is providing $7.5 billion to expand the U.S. charger network, and many EVs now have longer ranges (the Lucid Air claims 500 miles, with several options over 300 miles); plus, the U.S. average daily commute is only 30 miles. Jim Motavalli, auto columnist for Barron’s, adds, “when people buy EVs, they’ll find that 85 percent of their charging is at home anyway. You’re not actually going to need or want to use public charger s most of the time.” While EVs have environmental costs from emissions of battery production, lithium mining and transportation, traditional cars release far more emissions generated by fuel consumption over their lifetimes. Solutions like better mining tech, longer-lasting batteries, and growing battery recycling can reduce these issues. Critics argue EVs don’t solve too many cars or gridlock, but Lambert sums up: “Go drive one, do the math, and let your logic take over. When you do, you’ll always end up with electric vehicles — it’s the more logical solution every time.” 28. Which statement is true according to the passage? A. China sells over half of the world’s EVs. B. Europe leads in global electric vehicle sales. C. The U.S. has more EV charger s than gas stations. D. Norway has the world’s highest EV adoption rate. 29. What is a solution to ease “range anxiety” for EV owners? A. Reducing EV battery charging costs. B. Decreasing daily commuting distances. C. Expanding unreliable charging networks. D. Popularizing the installation of home chargers. 30. What can we infer about the environmental impact of EVs? A. Lithium mining issues are unsolvable for EVs. B. EVs are pollution-free due to zero tailpipe emissions. C. Battery production makes EVs worse than gasoline cars. D. EVs beat gas vehicles on environmental costs long-termly. 31. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To promote EV sales globally. B. To compare EVs in different countries. C. To justify EVs as a logically better choice. D. To discuss EVs’ advantages over gas vehicles. D Several years ago, Jason Box, a scientist from Ohio, flew 31 giant rolls of white plastic to a glacier (冰川) in Greenland. He and his team spread them across 10, 000 feet of ice, then left. His idea was that the white blanket would reflect back the rays of the sun, keeping the ice cool below. When he came back to check the results, he found it worked. Exposed ice had melted faster than covered ice. He had not only saved two feet of glacier in a short time. No coal plants were shut down, no jobs were lost, and nobody was taxed or fired. Just the sort of fix we’re looking for. “Thank you, but no thank you,” says Ralph King, a climate scientist. He told Grey Childs, author and commentator, that people think technology can save the planet, “but there are other things we need to deal with, like consumption. They burned $50, 000 just for the helicopter” to bring the plastic to the glacier. This experiment, quote­unquote, gives people false hope that climate change can be fixed without changing human behavior. It can’t. Technology won’t give us a free ride. Individuals respond to climate change differently. Climatologist Kelly Smith is hardly alone in her prediction that someday soon we won’t be climate victims, we will be climate choosers. More scientists agree with her that if the human race survives, the engineers will get smarter, the tools will get better, and one day we will control the climate. But what then? “Just the mention of us controlling the climate sent a small shiver down my back,” Grey writes. “Something sounded wrong about stopping ice ages by our own will,” he says. Me? I like it better when the earth takes care of itself. I guess one day we will have to run the place, but for the moment, sitting at my desk, looking out at the trees bending wildly and the wind howling, I’m happy not to be in charge. 32 Why does the author mention Jason Box’s experiment in the first paragraph? A. To report on a successful experiment on saving the glacier. B. To describe a misleading attempt to fix the climate. C. To introduce a possible solution to climate change. D. To arouse people’s attention to the problem of global warming. 33. Which statement would Ralph King most probably agree with? A. The fight against climate change will not succeed. B. Jason’s experiment plays a significant role in fixing climate change. C. It’s best to deal with climate change without changing our behavior. D. Technology is not the final solution, let alone its high cost. 34. What is Grey Childs’s attitude to human’s controlling the climate? A. Doubtful. B. Tolerant. C. Favorable. D. Unclear. 35. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. How can we take care of the earth? B. Is climate change a real problem? C. But should we fix the climate? D. What if all the glaciers disappeared? 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。 There was once a lonely girl who longed so much for love.

Every day is Monday, eight days a week. That was my motto. As I climbed the ladder to start my day, I was thinking there was not enough time in the day, week, even the month to do all the work that came my way. It was the same routine every day. Wake up early, call the boss, get an address, work eight, ten, sometimes twelve hours, go home exhausted, fall asleep, get up and do it again. However, after years of “eight days a week” grind (苦差事), I made my phone call one morning to hear, “I’m sorry, Bill. I’ve got nothing going on today. Things seem to be slowing down.” After that, eight days a week soon became six, then five and three. Before I knew it,the routine call became “Sorry, Bill, I’ve got nothing for you to do. I’ll call you when some work comes in.” After waiting every day for the next week, I couldn’t stand it anymore. I picked up the phone and called my boss. “Sorry, Bill. I’ve got nothing.” One day off was great, and two days were even pretty nice, but now it had been almost three weeks. Panic started to set in. I paced around the house, noticing the pile of bank bills growing with each day’s mail delivery, together with some flyers (广告传单). For the first time in my life I had no idea how I would live. I went out to the back yard. Faced with perfect roofing weather, my eyes stung with tears until I couldn’t hold them back. As they spilled down my face, I had a complete emotional meltdown. Looking at the sunlight glistening through the trees, I pulled myself together, deciding that things must be changed. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I began my journey to self-help. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ This first roofing job opened the door to many more. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。Hurry up, its already seven PM will be late for the movie.
