Others in my class are 5,7,10,14…The next oldest is 30. I fancy myself the sage elder, hoping that they see me as a source of inspiration —“You’re never too old to learn.” or “If she can do it, I can, too!” After 4 years of learning to play, it was time for our first in-person harp performance! Performers sat among the guests beforehand, chatting and drawing excitement and energy from the full-of-anticipation room. One by one, my fellow students went — each playing superbly. I was proud of them like they were my own kids. Then, it was my turn. I was still relaxed and confident. But I struggled from the start. I kept my fingers moving on the strings, but the melody (旋律) was all wrong. Luckily, the harp is a forgiving instrument. Even wrong notes can sound melodic. But if anyone knew how the songs were supposed to sound, they’d have known I was messing it up. Suddenly, glorious sunlight shone through the concert hall’s windows. Now I couldn’t see! But the show must go on, right? When I got totally lost in the middle of both of my pieces, I thought, “I don’t know what this is anymore, but it sounds kind of nice!” Sometimes, wonderful creations can be born out of panicked improvisation (即兴创作). I kept thinking, “Make a joyful noise, regardless!” The 8 minutes felt like 8 hours. Being the eldest in the room often makes people assume you’re the best or wisest. The truth, especially at that performance, was far different. But I would have awarded myself a gold star for the courage to start playing a new instrument at 62, and then perform in front of a large audience. Making music knows no age. Thinking back on my first performance, I realize that my lengthy life experience has taught me that the show must go on no matter what worrisome world politics, health scares, uncertain economic times, or difficult personal relationships are occurring. Life’s music is playing! It’s my job to show up and keep trying. 4. What does the underlined word “sage” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Interesting. B. Wise. C. Joyful. D. Demanding. 5. How did the author feel before her performance? A. Panicked and nervous. B. Thrilled and expectant. C. Calm and self-confident. D. Worried and unprepared. 6. How did the author react when realizing she was messing up her performance? A. She stopped playing immediately. B. She didn’t know what to do with it. C. She looked at the sunlight for comfort. D. She accepted the reality and carried on. 7. What lesson does the author learn from the experience? A. Never stop moving on in spite of difficulty. B. Don’t be afraid of making mistakes in learning. C. Confidence is more important than preparation. D. Improvisation is necessary in musical performance. C In experiments involving bouncy balls, plastic bottles and a high-speed camera, researchers in Chile discovered that it’s possible to control the height of a container’s bounce by swirling (旋动) the water inside. If this experiment sounds like something out of a social media challenge, that’s because it is. Pablo Gutiérrez, a physicist at Chile’s O’Higgins University, became interested in bouncing containers after his son showed him the viral “bottle flip” challenge: throwing a half-full plastic bottle so it flies end over end and sticks the landing. “Pablo became very good at this challenge,” laughs Gutiérrez’s co-author Leonardo Gordillo, “He was throwing a lot of bottles.” So the physicists and their research team took bottle flipping into the laboratory. They glued halves of rubber balls to the bottle’s bottom to enhance their bounce. And they made a key observation: bottles they’d swirled before releasing bounced far less, probably thanks to fluid dynamics (流体力学). To test this, the physicists built a device that could swirl and drop bottles with scientific precision. Indeed, the faster the water was swirled, the lower a bottle’s bounce. Like car passengers during a tight turn, swirling water inside a bottle gets pushed to the sides of the container, forcing it upward evenly along the walls. When the bottle hits the ground, the water courses down toward a single point at the center of the bottle’s base. All of the fluid tries to pass through that point but can’t. With nowhere else to go, the water flies back upward. Most of the falling bottle’s momentum (动量) gets redirected into this vertical jet (垂直喷射流) rather than into a bounce, lowering the impact and explaining why swirled bottles tend to stick their landings when “flipped”. Tadd Truscott, a fluid physicist in Saudi Arabia, says he’d be interested to see whether the effect works for stickier fluids or for larger container sizes. Such findings could perhaps be useful for reducing crash damage to fluid-filled containers like fuel tanks. It could also make for an afternoon of fun at home. The researchers encourage readers to give a bottle a swirl and see the result for themselves. 8. What did Pablo’s son show him? A. How a container’s bounce was controlled. B. How plastic bottles were flipped in the air. C. How bottles could be thrown as high as possible. D. How a half-filled water bottle made a good landing. 9. What did the physicists do to carry out the experiment? A. They chose larger plastic containers. B. They replaced water with sticky fluids. C. They poured more water into the bottles. D. They stuck something to the bottle’s bottom. 10. How is paragraph 4 developed? A. By sharing a personal experiment. B. By comparing varieties of water bottles. C. By describing a bounce-reducing process. D. By giving an example of a car’s tight turn. 11. What would Tadd like to see? A. The publication of the findings. B. The great fun of bottle flipping. C. The application of the experiment. D. The improvement of fluid-filled containers. D Solar energy, as a clean and renewable energy source, has been playing an increasingly important role in the global energy mix. Recently, significant advancements in solar energy technology have brought us closer to a more sustainable future. One of the most notable developments is the creation of new solar cell materials. Traditional silicon-based solar cells have limitations in terms of efficiency and cost. However, researchers have been exploring alternative materials. For example, perovskite solar cells (钙钛矿太阳能电池) have emerged as a promising alternative. These cells can be produced at a lower cost and have shown high efficiency in converting sunlight into electricity. Some perovskite solar cells have even achieved conversion efficiencies comparable to, or even exceeding, those of traditional silicon cells in laboratory settings. This could potentially revolutionize the solar energy industry by making solar power more affordable and accessible. Another area of progress is in energy storage solutions for solar energy. Solar power is intermittent (断断续续的), depending on sunlight availability. To address this, new battery technologies are being developed. Lithium-ion batteries (锂离子电池)have been widely used, but researchers are now looking at other options like flow batteries. Flow batteries can store large amounts of energy and have a longer lifespan. They can effectively store the excess electricity generated by solar panels during the day and release it when needed at night or during cloudy days. This improves the reliability and usability of solar energy. Despite these exciting advancements, there are still challenges. The durability of new materials like perovskite under real-world conditions needs to be further improved. And the cost of some advanced energy storage systems is still relatively high. But with continuous research and development, these issues are expected to be gradually resolved. 12. What is a key advantage of perovskite solar cells over traditional silicon-based cells? A. They are inexpensive yet more efficient. B. They are more durable in all weather conditions. C. They require less sunlight to generate electricity. D. They have a longer history of practical application. 13. Why are flow batteries considered a promising solution for solar energy? A. They are cheaper than lithium-ion batteries. B. They can store energy continuously without interruption. C. They have a longer lifespan and can store large energy amounts. D. They can work better than lithium-ion batteries under low sunlight. 14. What is the author’s attitude towards the advancements in solar energy technology? A. Optimistic. B. Pessimistic. C. Neutral. D. Doubtful. 15 Which is probably the best title for the text? A. The Limitations of Solar Energy B. Energy Storage Solutions for Solar Energy C. Traditional Solar Cells vs New Technologies D. New Advancements in Solar Energy Technology 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Many people share the assumption that material wealth and possessions bring happiness. This is why so many lottery tickets (彩票) are sold each week. ____16____. Life satisfaction in the United States has remained at the same level for half a century, even though its GDP is much higher than ever before. Many countries with the highest levels of well-being (幸福), such as several Latin American countries, have a comparatively low level of material wealth. People with a strong desire for wealth tend to have lower levels of well-being. In contrast, people who live a life of voluntary simplicity with few possessions have a higher level. ____17____. Certainly, money can lead to greater well-being if your basic needs aren’t satisfied or you’re worrying about your financial situation. ____18____. I sometimes compare the materialist pursuit of happiness to eating when you’re already full. You can eat as much as you like, but it doesn’t satisfy you-in fact, it just makes you feel uncomfortable and sick. The idea that wealth brings well-being also stops us from focusing on the real sources of happiness, like contact with nature, relationships, and inner harmony. These are much more reliable and productive sources of well-being. ____19____, while materialism only offers short bursts of pleasure, which wear off fairly quickly. ____20____. Possessions are produced using natural resources and create waste and pollution. The desire to own and build up possessions is destroying our ecology. Sooner or later, we will have to shift to a simpler lifestyle, whether we like it or not. A. In a word, money doesn’t mean everything B. They offer a stable and true sense of well-being C. Very few people are lucky enough to get wealthy D. But beyond a certain point, it makes little or no difference E. But research has shown little connection between wealth and well-being F. So, not taking material wealth too seriously is a good start for well-being G. Moreover, we have to end our passion for possessions for the environment 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Mark and Alex were both active kids, playing soccer, skateboarding, and hiking.

Years later, Mark’s health ____23____ declined, and he needed a feeding tube to survive. Misfortunes never come single. Alex developed a major joint disease. Despite these sudden health conditions, Mark and Alex became stronger together. Then, an incredible ____24____ presented itself to help them get back outdoors-a minivan (小客车). It was easy to drive and didn’t require setting up camp, and once they ____25____ a few decorations, it quickly felt like home. What started with____26____ camping trips finally turned into a full-time lifestyle they had never imagined. Alex said ____27____,“Without getting sick, who knows where we would be? We hope to build a community of the disabled and able-bodied alike to get outside, no matter what.” Considering their illnesses, they ____28____ their days based on how they feel. Energetic days are filled with hiking, climbing trees, and playing with their dog, while restful days ____29____ reading, watching movies, and eating pastries. When asked about their sources of ____30____ Mark and Alex are quick to credit their own passion for adventure and nature. None of this would be ____31____ without their inner drive to overcome the obstacles (障碍). ___32___ their illnesses while they are camping can be challenging, but according to Mark, instead of considering the illness as an obstacle, they ____33____ to take advantage of it to enhance the problem-solving skills. For others with similar conditions, Mark and Alex have a ____34____ to share-“Keep an open attitude to how you can engage in travel. And stick to what you like. After all, nothing is impossible to a ____35____ mind.” 21. A. developed B. ended C. worked D. recovered 22. A. literature B. competition C. freedom D. adventure 23.

Dad had promised to return from his business trip by 6 PM, but as the clock struck midnight, there was still no sign of him. Her phone buzzed — another corporate apology message forwarded by Mom. Tears welled up, blurring (使模糊) the ”Happy Birthday“ icing. Memories flooded back: Dad missing her piano recital last month, where she had played with all her heart for his proud smile; forgetting Parents’ Day, while other kids enjoyed their parents’ company; and their last proper conversation being a full three weeks ago. She dashed upstairs slamming her bedroom door. Collapsing onto the bed, her elbow (手肘) knocked over a dusty photo frame-a childhood picture of Dad piggybacking her at the beach, both grinning (冽嘴笑) wildly. Beneath it lay a leather journal she’d never seen. With curiosity, she opened it. The first entry was dated March 2023, during her hospital admission for pneumonia (肺炎). Day 12: “Sold the car today. Lily’s medical bills cleared. Told her the old sedan ‘ needed retirement’-better she thinks me frugal (节俭的) than worried.” Day 39: “Promoted to regional manager. Triple workload, but Lily’s college fund secured. Miss bedtime stories ...” The pages trembled in her hands. Footsteps approached outside. 注意： 1.续写词数应150左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The door creaked (嘎发作响) open slowly. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Holding the journal tightly, Lily couldn’t hold back her tears . _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 宁海高级中学2024-2025学年度第二学期5月质量检测 英语试题 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 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.

If this experiment sounds like something out of a social media challenge, that’s because it is. Pablo Gutiérrez, a physicist at Chile’s O’Higgins University, became interested in bouncing containers after his son showed him the viral “bottle flip” challenge: throwing a half-full plastic bottle so it flies end over end and sticks the landing. “Pablo became very good at this challenge,” laughs Gutiérrez’s co-author Leonardo Gordillo, “He was throwing a lot of bottles.” So the physicists and their research team took bottle flipping into the laboratory. They glued halves of rubber balls to the bottle’s bottom to enhance their bounce. And they made a key observation: bottles they’d swirled before releasing bounced far less, probably thanks to fluid dynamics (流体力学). To test this, the physicists built a device that could swirl and drop bottles with scientific precision. Indeed, the faster the water was swirled, the lower a bottle’s bounce. Like car passengers during a tight turn, swirling water inside a bottle gets pushed to the sides of the container, forcing it upward evenly along the walls. When the bottle hits the ground, the water courses down toward a single point at the center of the bottle’s base. All of the fluid tries to pass through that point but can’t. With nowhere else to go, the water flies back upward. Most of the falling bottle’s momentum (动量) gets redirected into this vertical jet (垂直喷射流) rather than into a bounce, lowering the impact and explaining why swirled bottles tend to stick their landings when “flipped”. Tadd Truscott, a fluid physicist in Saudi Arabia, says he’d be interested to see whether the effect works for stickier fluids or for larger container sizes. Such findings could perhaps be useful for reducing crash damage to fluid-filled containers like fuel tanks. It could also make for an afternoon of fun at home. The researchers encourage readers to give a bottle a swirl and see the result for themselves. 8. What did Pablo’s son show him? A. How a container’s bounce was controlled. B. How plastic bottles were flipped in the air. C. How bottles could be thrown as high as possible. D. How a half-filled water bottle made a good landing. 9. What did the physicists do to carry out the experiment? A. They chose larger plastic containers. B. They replaced water with sticky fluids. C. They poured more water into the bottles. D. They stuck something to the bottle’s bottom. 10. How is paragraph 4 developed? A By sharing a personal experiment. B. By comparing varieties of water bottles. C. By describing a bounce-reducing process. D. By giving an example of a car’s tight turn. 11. What would Tadd like to see? A. The publication of the findings. B. The great fun of bottle flipping. C. The application of the experiment. D. The improvement of fluid-filled containers. 【答案】8. D 9. D 10. C 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是智利的研究人员发现可以通过旋转容器内的水来控制容器的反弹高度。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Pablo Gutiérrez, a physicist at Chile’s O’Higgins University, became interested in bouncing containers after his son showed him the viral “bottle flip” challenge: throwing a half-full plastic bottle so it flies end over end and sticks the landing.(智利O’Higgins大学的物理学家Pablo Gutiérrez在他的儿子向他展示了流行的“瓶子翻转”挑战后，对弹跳容器产生了兴趣：扔一个半满的塑料瓶，让它一端飞到另一端，然后粘在地上。)”可知，Pablo Gutiérrez儿子在向他展示“瓶子翻转”挑战，即“扔一个半满的塑料瓶，让它一端飞到另一端，然后粘在地上”后，对弹跳容器产生了兴趣，由此可知，他的儿子应该是向他展示半瓶水如何顺利落地。故选D项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“So the physicists and their research team took bottle flipping into the laboratory. They glued halves of rubber balls to the bottle’s bottom to enhance their bounce. And they made a key observation: bottles they’d swirled before releasing bounced far less, probably thanks to fluid dynamics(流体力学).(所以物理学家和他们的研究小组把瓶子扔进了实验室。他们把一半的橡皮球粘在瓶子的底部，以增强它们的弹性。他们做了一个关键的观察：他们在释放之前旋转的瓶子反弹得少得多，这可能要归功于流体力学。)”可知，物理学家和研究小组开始了扔瓶子实验，把一般的像皮球站在瓶子底部，以增强瓶子的弹性，他们做了一个重要的观察，由此可知，他们把什么东西粘在瓶子的底部来进行实验。故选D项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“When the bottle hits the ground, the water courses down toward a single point at the center of the bottle’s base. All of the fluid tries to pass through that point but can’t. With nowhere else to go, the water flies back upward. Most of the falling bottle’s momentum (动量) gets redirected into this vertical jet (垂直喷射流) rather than into a bounce, lowering the impact and explaining why swirled bottles tend to stick their landings when “flipped”.(当瓶子撞到地面时，水会流向瓶子底部中心的一个点。所有的液体都试图通过这个点，但是不能。由于无处可去，水又逆流而上。瓶子下落的大部分动量被重新定向到垂直射流中，而不是反弹，这降低了冲击力，并解释了为什么旋转的瓶子在“翻转”时倾向于坚持着陆。)”可知，瓶子撞地时，由于水不能都流向平底中心的一个点，所以会逆流而上，瓶子在下落时降低了冲击力，并且解释了为什么旋转的瓶子在“翻转”时倾向于坚持着陆，由此可知，本段主要是通过描述一个减少反弹的过程发展的。故选C项。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据尾段中的“Tadd Truscott, a fluid physicist in Saudi Arabia, says he’d be interested to see whether the effect works for stickier fluids or for larger container sizes. (沙特阿拉伯的流体物理学家Tadd Truscott说，他很有兴趣看看这种效应是否适用于粘性较强的流体或更大的容器。)”可知，Tadd Truscott说他有兴趣看看这种效应是否适用于粘性较强的流体或者更大的容器，由此可知，Tadd想看一下该实验的实际应用。故选C项。 D Solar energy, as a clean and renewable energy source, has been playing an increasingly important role in the global energy mix. Recently, significant advancements in solar energy technology have brought us closer to a more sustainable future. One of the most notable developments is the creation of new solar cell materials. Traditional silicon-based solar cells have limitations in terms of efficiency and cost. However, researchers have been exploring alternative materials. For example, perovskite solar cells (钙钛矿太阳能电池) have emerged as a promising alternative. These cells can be produced at a lower cost and have shown high efficiency in converting sunlight into electricity. Some perovskite solar cells have even achieved conversion efficiencies comparable to, or even exceeding, those of traditional silicon cells in laboratory settings. This could potentially revolutionize the solar energy industry by making solar power more affordable and accessible. Another area of progress is in energy storage solutions for solar energy. Solar power is intermittent (断断续续的), depending on sunlight availability. To address this, new battery technologies are being developed. Lithium-ion batteries (锂离子电池)have been widely used, but researchers are now looking at other options like flow batteries. Flow batteries can store large amounts of energy and have a longer lifespan. They can effectively store the excess electricity generated by solar panels during the day and release it when needed at night or during cloudy days. This improves the reliability and usability of solar energy. Despite these exciting advancements, there are still challenges. The durability of new materials like perovskite under real-world conditions needs to be further improved. And the cost of some advanced energy storage systems is still relatively high. But with continuous research and development, these issues are expected to be gradually resolved. 12. What is a key advantage of perovskite solar cells over traditional silicon-based cells? A. They are inexpensive yet more efficient. B. They are more durable in all weather conditions. C. They require less sunlight to generate electricity. D. They have a longer history of practical application. 13. Why are flow batteries considered a promising solution for solar energy? A. They are cheaper than lithium-ion batteries. B. They can store energy continuously without interruption. C. They have a longer lifespan and can store large energy amounts. D. They can work better than lithium-ion batteries under low sunlight. 14. What is the author’s attitude towards the advancements in solar energy technology? A. Optimistic. B. Pessimistic. C. Neutral. D. Doubtful. 15. Which is probably the best title for the text? A. The Limitations of Solar Energy B. Energy Storage Solutions for Solar Energy C. Traditional Solar Cells vs New Technologies D. New Advancements in Solar Energy Technology 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了太阳能技术的重大进步，包括新型太阳能电池材料的发明和太阳能的储能解决方案。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“These cells can be produced at a lower cost and have shown high efficiency in converting sunlight into electricity. Some perovskite solar cells have even achieved conversion efficiencies comparable to, or even exceeding, those of traditional silicon cells in laboratory settings.(这些电池可以以较低的成本生产，并在将阳光转化为电能方面表现出高效率。在实验室环境中，一些钙钛矿太阳能电池甚至实现了与传统硅电池相当甚至超过传统硅电池的转换效率)”可知，相比传统的硅基太阳能电池，钙钛矿太阳能电池的关键优势是成本低但效率更高，故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Flow batteries can store large amounts of energy and have a longer lifespan. They can effectively store the excess electricity generated by solar panels during the day and release it when needed at night or during cloudy days.(液流电池可以储存大量的能量，使用寿命更长。它们可以有效地储存太阳能电池板在白天产生的多余电力，并在夜间或阴天需要时释放出来)”可知，液流电池被认为是一种很有前途的太阳能解决方案，是因为它们寿命更长，能储存大量能量，故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Despite these exciting advancements, there are still challenges. The durability of new materials like perovskite under real-world conditions needs to be further improved. And the cost of some advanced energy storage systems is still relatively high. But with continuous research and development, these issues are expected to be gradually resolved.(尽管取得了这些令人兴奋的进步，但挑战依然存在。像钙钛矿这样的新材料在现实条件下的耐久性需要进一步提高。而且一些先进的储能系统的成本仍然比较高。但随着不断的研究和开发，这些问题有望逐步解决)”可知，作者认为太阳能技术虽然仍存在挑战，但随着不断的研究和开发，这些问题有望逐步解决，故作者对太阳能技术的进步持乐观态度，故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，结合第一段中“Recently, significant advancements in solar energy technology have brought us closer to a more sustainable future.(最近，太阳能技术的重大进步使我们更接近一个更可持续的未来)”可知，文章主要介绍了太阳能技术的重大进步，包括新型太阳能电池材料的发明和太阳能的储能解决方案，D项“太阳能技术的新进步”最适合作为标题，故选D。 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Many people share the assumption that material wealth and possessions bring happiness. This is why so many lottery tickets (彩票) are sold each week. ____16____. Life satisfaction in the United States has remained at the same level for half a century, even though its GDP is much higher than ever before. Many countries with the highest levels of well-being (幸福), such as several Latin American countries, have a comparatively low level of material wealth. People with a strong desire for wealth tend to have lower levels of well-being. In contrast, people who live a life of voluntary simplicity with few possessions have a higher level. ____17____. Certainly, money can lead to greater well-being if your basic needs aren’t satisfied or you’re worrying about your financial situation. ____18____. I sometimes compare the materialist pursuit of happiness to eating when you’re already full. You can eat as much as you like, but it doesn’t satisfy you-in fact, it just makes you feel uncomfortable and sick. The idea that wealth brings well-being also stops us from focusing on the real sources of happiness, like contact with nature, relationships, and inner harmony. These are much more reliable and productive sources of well-being. ____19____, while materialism only offers short bursts of pleasure, which wear off fairly quickly. ____20____. Possessions are produced using natural resources and create waste and pollution. The desire to own and build up possessions is destroying our ecology. Sooner or later, we will have to shift to a simpler lifestyle, whether we like it or not. A. In a word, money doesn’t mean everything B. They offer a stable and true sense of well-being C. Very few people are lucky enough to get wealthy D. But beyond a certain point, it makes little or no difference E. But research has shown little connection between wealth and well-being F. So, not taking material wealth too seriously is a good start for well-being G. Moreover, we have to end our passion for possessions for the environment 【答案】16. E 17. F 18. D 19. B 20. G 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要论述了财富和幸福之间的关系。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Many people share the assumption that material wealth and possessions bring happiness. This is why so many lottery tickets (彩票) are sold each week.(许多人都认为物质财富和财产能带来幸福。这就是为什么每周都有这么多彩票售出的原因)”可知，本句为本段最后一句，故就上文“物质财富和财产能带来幸福”的观点进行说明，E选项中wealth and well-being对应上文material wealth and possessions。故E选项“但是研究表明财富和幸福之间几乎没有联系”符合语境，故选E。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Many countries with the highest levels of well-being (幸福), such as several Latin American countries, have a comparatively low level of material wealth. People with a strong desire for wealth tend to have lower levels of well-being. In contrast, people who live a life of voluntary simplicity with few possessions have a higher level.(许多幸福水平最高的国家，如几个拉丁美洲国家，物质财富水平相对较低。对财富有强烈欲望的人往往幸福感较低。相比之下，那些自愿过着简朴生活、几乎没有财产的人，他们的生活水平更高)”可知，本句为本段最后一句，与上文构成因果关系，指出物质财富对于幸福并不十分重要。故F选项“所以，不要把物质财富看得太严重，这是幸福的良好开端”符合语境，故选F。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Certainly, money can lead to greater well-being if your basic needs aren’t satisfied or you’re worrying about your financial situation.(当然，如果你的基本需求没有得到满足，或者你担心自己的财务状况，金钱可以带来更大的幸福感)”以及后文“I sometimes compare the materialist pursuit of happiness to eating when you’re already full. You can eat as much as you like, but it doesn’t satisfy you-in fact, it just makes you feel uncomfortable and sick.(我有时把追求幸福的物质主义者比作吃饱了再吃。你可以想吃多少就吃多少，但这并不能满足你——事实上，它只会让你感到不舒服和恶心)”可知，本句与上文构成转折，指出物质财富超出一定程度就无法满足对幸福的追求。故D选项“但是超过某一点，它就没有什么区别了”符合语境，故选D。 【19题详解】 根据上文“The idea that wealth brings well-being also stops us from focusing on the real sources of happiness, like contact with nature, relationships, and inner harmony. These are much more reliable and productive sources of well-being.(财富带来幸福的想法也阻止了我们关注幸福的真正来源，比如与自然的接触、人际关系和内心的和谐。这些都是更可靠、更有成效的幸福来源)”可知，本句承接上文，继续说明提供幸福感的东西的作用。故B选项“它们提供了一种稳定而真正的幸福感”符合语境，故选B。 【20题详解】 根据后文“Possessions are produced using natural resources and create waste and pollution. The desire to own and build up possessions is destroying our ecology. Sooner or later, we will have to shift to a simpler lifestyle, whether we like it or not.(财产是利用自然资源生产的，并造成浪费和污染。拥有和积累财产的欲望正在破坏我们的生态。不管我们喜欢与否，我们迟早都要转向一种更简单的生活方式)”可知，后文提到拥有和积累财产的欲望正在破坏我们的生态，说明不建议过分追求财产。故G选项“此外，为了保护环境，我们必须停止对财产的狂热”符合语境，故选G。 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Mark and Alex were both active kids, playing soccer, skateboarding, and hiking.

Whether it’s smart speakers helping us manage our day or apps suggesting movies we might like, AI brings great convenience. Yet, we must use AI cautiously. Relying too much on it could make us less capable of solving problems on our own or thinking critically. Also, we should be aware that AI collects a lot of our personal data, which might raise privacy issues. To make the most of AI, we need to find a good balance. Let AI assist us, but don’t let it take over completely. We should also learn about how our data is used and protect our privacy. By using AI wisely, we can enjoy its benefits while keeping our independence and safety in this tech-driven world.

Dad had promised to return from his business trip by 6 PM, but as the clock struck midnight, there was still no sign of him. Her phone buzzed — another corporate apology message forwarded by Mom. Tears welled up, blurring (使模糊) the ”Happy Birthday“ icing. Memories flooded back: Dad missing her piano recital last month, where she had played with all her heart for his proud smile; forgetting Parents’ Day, while other kids enjoyed their parents’ company; and their last proper conversation being a full three weeks ago. She dashed upstairs, slamming her bedroom door. Collapsing onto the bed, her elbow (手肘) knocked over a dusty photo frame-a childhood picture of Dad piggybacking her at the beach, both grinning (冽嘴笑) wildly. Beneath it lay a leather journal she’d never seen. With curiosity, she opened it. The first entry was dated March 2023, during her hospital admission for pneumonia (肺炎). Day 12: “Sold the car today. Lily’s medical bills cleared. Told her the old sedan ‘ needed retirement’-better she thinks me frugal (节俭的) than worried.” Day 39: “Promoted to regional manager. Triple workload, but Lily’s college fund secured. Miss bedtime stories ...” The pages trembled in her hands Footsteps approached outside. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The door creaked (嘎发作响) open slowly. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Holding the journal tightly, Lily couldn’t hold back her tears . _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】The door creaked open slowly. There stood Dad, his face weary and lined with exhaustion. But his eyes lit up with love when he saw Lily. “Happy birthday, my dear,” he said softly. Lily’s eyes scanned his tired figure, thinking of the journal entries — his sacrifices, his silent love. All the anger and disappointment melted away. She now saw beyond his absences to the love that drove his actions. “Dad,” she whispered, her voice choked with emotion. Holding the journal tightly, Lily couldn’t hold back her tears. She rushed to Dad and hugged him tightly. “Dad, I love you. Thank you for everything,” she sobbed. Initially surprised, Dad soon understood as he saw the journal. He stroked her hair gently, “I’m sorry I’ve been away so much.” In that embrace, they bridged the gap of unspoken words. From that moment, Lily knew their bond was deeper than she’d ever thought, rooted in a father’s silent devotion and a daughter’s new-found understanding. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Lily在15岁生日那天独自坐在餐桌前，父母都因工作而无法回来陪伴她过生日，泪水涌上心头，想起父母以前也经常缺席她的重要场合，她冲上楼，倒在卧室床上，无意中发现了一本从未见过的皮制日记。出于好奇，她打开日记开始读，日记上记录着父母为养家辛苦工作的事情，书页在她手中颤抖，外面传来了脚步声。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“门慢慢地吱吱作响地开了。”可知，第一段可描写爸爸回到家向Lily道歉，Lily透过爸爸疲惫的身影看到了他的爱。 ②由第二段首句内容“Lily紧紧地拿着日记，忍不住流下了眼泪。”可知，第二段可描写Lily和爸爸拥抱，表达爱，两人关系加深。 2.续写线索：爸爸回家——Lily看到爸爸的爱——拥抱——向爸爸表达爱——爸爸看到日记明白了一切——关系加深 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①小声说：whisper/murmur ②冲向：dash/rush ③拥抱：hug/embrace 情绪类 ①愤怒：anger/rage ②惊讶：surprised/astonished 【点睛】[高分句型1] She now saw beyond his absences to the love that drove his actions.（由关系代词that引导的定语从句） [高分句型2] Initially surprised, Dad soon understood as he saw the journal.（由从属连词as引导的时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
