(二)阅读下列短文，根据短文内容，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选择最佳选项。 B The Perfect Age The assignment (任务) was up on the blackboard for my ninth-grade students: “What is the perfect age, and why would you like to be that age?” I hoped this writing assignment would help them think about their life goals. I could tell by their expressions that maybe this would work. They had half an hour to do the assignment. After that, I collected their papers. I was excited to see their ideas. Hilda asked me how old I was. When I told her I was twenty-three, she wrote she wanted to be the same age. She said she would like to be a ninth-grade teacher and have fun with her students like I always seemed to do. I was glad it looked like fun to her! Several boys wanted to be football players, play for well-known clubs and compete around the world. The ages they thought were perfect differed, but the results were the same. They saw sports as their career (职业) to live a meaningful life and make money. Jorge said he would use the money to buy his mom a new house with a bedroom for each member of the family. That would be eight bedrooms! But I always remember Victoria’s story. She was a shy, bright and thoughtful child. She never said much, but you could see her thinking deeply. She thought for ten minutes, then picked up her pencil and wrote something that has stayed with me my whole life. In the assignment, she became the teacher, and I was the student learning from a wise 14-year-old. Victoria wrote that every age was the perfect age. She wrote that life was designed that way so we could experience each chapter(篇章)of it. She said it was wonderful how we got to experience our first day of school in kindergarten (幼儿园), making friends throughout our school experience, graduating from university, hopefully getting married, having children, and perhaps living long enough to have grandchildren or even great-grandchildren. As a 67-year-old woman now, when I wish I were younger, I would remember Victoria’s wisdom. Amazingly, as a 14-year-old, Victoria saw that every part of life was important. 24. Why did the writer give the writing assignment? A. To help students think about their life goals. B. To encourage students to build a successful career. C. To teach students how to lead a perfect life in the future. D. To ask students to record their wonderful time at school. 25. According to Jorge’s writing, what did he want to do with his money? A. Buy a house for his mom. B. Start his own football club. C. Travel around the world with his family. D. Improve how he would train for football. 26. What does the writer learn from Victoria’s writing? A. The meaning of life is to find our own perfect age. B. The beauty of life is found through all its different stages. C. Life is the most wonderful when we achieve the goals we set. D. Life is perfect when we are old enough to understand its design. C We often help others out of care or kindness. But is helping always nice? In my research, I discovered that sometimes the help children provide to peers (同伴) can be harmful. Imagine that a classmate asks you for help on a word puzzle which you are good at. How will you help them? You could offer a hint (线索). This is called indirect help, which allows your classmate to learn to work out the answers on their own. Maybe next time they’ ll not need help because they now know how to solve it. But you could also help by simply giving your classmate the correct answer. This is called direct help. It makes the task easier for your classmate, but it also takes away their chance to learn. They’ll still need help when they do a similar task again. In most cases, it is probably better to give indirect help because it helps others learn more in the long run. After all, indirect help teaches others to become better at something. It’s like an old saying: “Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.” To test whether children give more indirect or direct help when they are helping their peers, my team did an experiment with children aged 7-9. In the experiment, they were told they were going to be quiz (测验) masters and help two peers take a quiz. They could either give indirect or direct help. The experimenter also told the children how their peers did on another quiz—one peer answered many questions incorrectly and the other answered many correctly. We wanted the children to think one peer was good at the quiz and the other one was not. This way, we could test if children give different kinds of help when they think others are good at something or struggle (挣扎) with it. And they did. The results, as can be seen from the bar chart (柱状图), showed that ________. So, if children help in this way, what will happen in the end? The difference in ability between struggling and non-struggling peers gets bigger. Also, getting more direct help might make peers feel worse about themselves, and other children might think they are less smart. Then, what can we do? One solution is to teach children about the different kinds of help and make sure they help in ways that are not harmful. That is why I wrote this article—the next time you offer to help someone, I hope you remember to give them the right kind of help! 27. What might happen to peers who receive more direct help? ①They might become unsure of themselves. ②They might choose more difficult tasks to do. ③Fewer children might help them with future challenges. ④Classmates might start to think less positively about them. A. ①③ B. ②③ C. ①④ D. ②④ 28. The results of the experiment as can be seen from the bar chart, showed that ________. A. when children help peers, the likelihood of giving direct help is greater B. when children think peers don’t struggle, they’ll choose not to give direct help C. when children help struggling peers, they’ll give less indirect help than direct help D. when children think peers struggle, the possibility of giving direct help increases 29 What can we learn from the passage? A. Children are expected to offer more help to their struggling peers. B. Indirect help builds more lifelong skills in children than direct help, C. The kind of help children give depends heavily on peers’ intelligence, D. The experiment aims at teaching children to give indirect help to peers. D Have you ever followed the suggestions of a digital writing assistant (助手) to replace a word or restructure a sentence without knowing how, why or even whether it made your writing better? Before the age of digital tools, our parents and grandparents turned to dictionaries for the same assistance. They picked up a heavy book, looked up what words meant and how they were used, and then carefully chose the language to express their ideas. In today’s world of spell-check, auto-correct and artificial intelligence (AI), each of which can help make those choices for us, why should we keep producing and using heavy physical dictionaries? Dictionaries help us write with originality (原创性) and a point of view. AI assistants manufacture (批量生产) statements so writers don’t have to think them up, while dictionaries provide us with knowledge to use language ourselves in expressive ways. They place choice right in human hands, forcing us to discover how we want to explain ourselves and our ideas to the world. Dictionaries aren’t just lists of words and meanings; they’ re also instructions for how best to use those words. For centuries, English dictionaries have shown the language of certain populations. At the same time, by systematizing the meanings, uses and connotations (内涵) of words, those same dictionaries have shaped language. Today, the numerous kinds of digital writing assistants require us to reconsider the role of dictionaries. In 1946, George Orwell, a famous British writer and journalist, described good writing as “picking out words because of their meaning”, a practice that dictionaries catalyze while digital writing assistants hold back. The assistants build your sentences and even think your thoughts for you, so writers who are guided by an app have their choices made for them. But writers who use a dictionary make a choice. It’s a fight between robotic consistency (一致性) and human creativity. Digital writing assistants say their users can rewrite full passages with a click and keep the writing style consistent, while dictionaries provide imperfect writers with a guide to English’s possibilities, so they will get the chance to think critically (批判地) about what and how to write. Our ability to express ourselves is important— it helps us explain our culture and our being. Dictionaries aid us in achieving this: They record our ways of thinking through language. As digital writing becomes more common in our lives, we need dictionaries more than ever, not to write quickly and correctly, but to build relationships with the words we use. Giving up on dictionaries would hurt our ability to express ourselves. Without a reason for self-expression and lifelong learning, we have to ask ourselves: Why write at all? 30. What can we learn about physical dictionaries? A. They make choices for writers. B. They inspire expressive wording. C. They focus on explaining meanings. D. They create more productive writers. 31. What does the word “catalyze” in Paragraph 5 most probably mean? A. Shape. B. Follow. C. Encourage. D. Slow. 32. Which of the following would the writer most probably agree with? A. AI assistants have a negative influence on people’s writing consistency. B. AI assistants improve people’s critical thinking skills through writing. C. Dictionaries change people’s ways of thinking by recording language. D. Dictionaries help keep people from losing their creativity in writing. 33. Which of the following is the best title for this passage? A. Write Quickly or Express Correctly B. Dictionaries Matter in the Digital Age C. From Human Choice to Digital Voice D. Dictionaries Work with Digital Assistants 第二部分 本部分共5题，共20分。根据题目要求，完成相应任务。 四、阅读表达(第34-36题每题2分，第37题4分，共10分) 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 There’s a lot of fear around spending time alone. Alone time can make people really bored. Worse, some articles and studies warn us about the dangers of loneliness—one in 2017 says loneliness is as bad as smoking 15 cigarettes a day. Another in 2023 presents the risks of chronic (长期的) loneliness, such as increased risks of disease. However, not all alone time is the same. There’s chronic loneliness—and there’s solitude (独处). One is a serious problem. The other is a skill we must develop. Chronic loneliness happens when there is unhappiness about the state of having few friends or a sense of social isolation (隔离). But we do so many activities alone that don’t come with the dangers of chronic loneliness—reading a book, doing an art project or cooking a meal. This kind of positive alone time is called solitude, which is a state of being free of the requirements of others. While chronic loneliness is bad for our health, solitude can be the opposite. Yet we don’t know how to welcome it, and we often avoid it. We sometimes stay in bad relationships so as not to be alone. This isn’t surprising. One of the main parts of chronic loneliness is social isolation. According to John Cacioppo, a professor at the University of Chicago, loneliness is a biological sign similar to hunger or thirst. When we are in a state of painful loneliness, it is our bodies that give us information to find social support or social ties. However, being more in touch with our loneliness sensors helps us use the healthy kind of alone time. You wouldn’t be ashamed of needing water when thirsty, so why should you feel bad about feeling lonely? What’s more, we might have more control over how connected we feel with others than we think. According to a Yale’s study, if you can feel connected with loved ones even when you’re not around them, you can still feel socially connected. I am a believer in finding your best solitude style. I encourage those who don’t like being alone to try it out once. You may find yourself looking for it again and again. Taking a hike in the woods alone allows you to look at nature more closely than hiking with a friend. When you save a meaningful moment for just you, you get to be the only maker of your experiences. 34. When does chronic loneliness happen? ______________________________ 35. According to the passage, what is solitude? ______________________________ 36. What is the benefit of being more in touch with our loneliness sensors? ______________________________ 37. Do you think it is necessary for you to make time for solitude? Why or why not? (Please give two reasons. ) ______________________________ 五、文段表达(10分) 38. 从下面两个题目中任选一题，根据所给的中文和英文提示，完成一篇不少于50词的英语文段写作。文中已给出内容不计入总词数。所给提示词语仅供选用。请不要写出真实的校名、姓名和地名。 题目① 38. 某英语网站近日发起一项国际青少年交流活动，面向各国学生招募发言人。假设你是李华，你看到该网站面向中国学生的招募信息（见网页截图），希望参与此项活动。请结合招募信息，用英语写一封申请信，说明自己的优势以及渴望参与的原因。 提示词语：knowledge, confident, introduce, friendship, wonderful 内容提示：·What are your advantages? ·Why do you want to be the presenter?

I could tell by their expressions that maybe this would work. They had half an hour to do the assignment. After that, I collected their papers. I was excited to see their ideas. Hilda asked me how old I was. When I told her I was twenty-three, she wrote she wanted to be the same age. She said she would like to be a ninth-grade teacher and have fun with her students like I always seemed to do. I was glad it looked like fun to her! Several boys wanted to be football players, play for well-known clubs and compete around the world. The ages they thought were perfect differed, but the results were the same. They saw sports as their career (职业) to live a meaningful life and make money. Jorge said he would use the money to buy his mom a new house with a bedroom for each member of the family. That would be eight bedrooms! But I always remember Victoria’s story. She was a shy, bright and thoughtful child. She never said much, but you could see her thinking deeply. She thought for ten minutes, then picked up her pencil and wrote something that has stayed with me my whole life. In the assignment, she became the teacher, and I was the student learning from a wise 14-year-old. Victoria wrote that every age was the perfect age. She wrote that life was designed that way so we could experience each chapter(篇章)of it. She said it was wonderful how we got to experience our first day of school in kindergarten (幼儿园), making friends throughout our school experience, graduating from university, hopefully getting married, having children, and perhaps living long enough to have grandchildren or even great-grandchildren. As a 67-year-old woman now, when I wish I were younger, I would remember Victoria’s wisdom. Amazingly, as a 14-year-old, Victoria saw that every part of life was important. 24. Why did the writer give the writing assignment? A. To help students think about their life goals. B. To encourage students to build a successful career. C. To teach students how to lead a perfect life in the future. D. To ask students to record their wonderful time at school. 25. According to Jorge’s writing, what did he want to do with his money? A. Buy a house for his mom. B. Start his own football club. C. Travel around the world with his family. D. Improve how he would train for football. 26. What does the writer learn from Victoria’s writing? A. The meaning of life is to find our own perfect age. B. The beauty of life is found through all its different stages. C. Life is the most wonderful when we achieve the goals we set. D. Life is perfect when we are old enough to understand its design. 【答案】24. A 25. A 26.

But is helping always nice? In my research, I discovered that sometimes the help children provide to peers (同伴) can be harmful. Imagine that a classmate asks you for help on a word puzzle which you are good at. How will you help them? You could offer a hint (线索). This is called indirect help, which allows your classmate to learn to work out the answers on their own. Maybe next time they’ ll not need help because they now know how to solve it. But you could also help by simply giving your classmate the correct answer. This is called direct help. It makes the task easier for your classmate, but it also takes away their chance to learn. They’ll still need help when they do a similar task again. In most cases, it is probably better to give indirect help because it helps others learn more in the long run. After all, indirect help teaches others to become better at something. It’s like an old saying: “Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.” To test whether children give more indirect or direct help when they are helping their peers, my team did an experiment with children aged 7-9. In the experiment, they were told they were going to be quiz (测验) masters and help two peers take a quiz. They could either give indirect or direct help. The experimenter also told the children how their peers did on another quiz—one peer answered many questions incorrectly and the other answered many correctly. We wanted the children to think one peer was good at the quiz and the other one was not. This way, we could test if children give different kinds of help when they think others are good at something or struggle (挣扎) with it. And they did. The results, as can be seen from the bar chart (柱状图), showed that ________. So, if children help in this way, what will happen in the end? The difference in ability between struggling and non-struggling peers gets bigger. Also, getting more direct help might make peers feel worse about themselves, and other children might think they are less smart. Then, what can we do? One solution is to teach children about the different kinds of help and make sure they help in ways that are not harmful. That is why I wrote this article—the next time you offer to help someone, I hope you remember to give them the right kind of help! 27. What might happen to peers who receive more direct help? ①They might become unsure of themselves. ②They might choose more difficult tasks to do. ③Fewer children might help them with future challenges. ④Classmates might start to think less positively about them. A. ①③ B. ②③ C. ①④ D. ②④ 28. The results of the experiment, as can be seen from the bar chart, showed that ________. A. when children help peers, the likelihood of giving direct help is greater B. when children think peers don’t struggle, they’ll choose not to give direct help C. when children help struggling peers, they’ll give less indirect help than direct help D. when children think peers struggle, the possibility of giving direct help increases 29. What can we learn from the passage? A. Children are expected to offer more help to their struggling peers. B. Indirect help builds more lifelong skills in children than direct help, C. The kind of help children give depends heavily on peers’ intelligence, D. The experiment aims at teaching children to give indirect help to peers. 【答案】27. C 28. D 29. B 【解析】 【导语】本文探讨了“帮助他人是否总是有益”，通过实验说明直接帮助和间接帮助的差异，强调间接帮助更利于他人长期成长。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据“getting more direct help might make peers feel worse about themselves, and other children might think they are less smart”可知，接受更多直接帮助的同伴会自我怀疑（①），且同学会对他们有负面看法（④）。故选C。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。从柱状图看：当认为同伴“不挣扎”时，直接帮助占比28.8%；当认为同伴“挣扎”时，直接帮助占比47.3%。说明“当孩子认为同伴挣扎时，提供直接帮助的可能性会增加”。故选D。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据“indirect help helps others learn more in the long run…‘Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime’”可知，间接帮助比直接帮助更能培养孩子的终身技能。故选B。 D Have you ever followed the suggestions of a digital writing assistant (助手) to replace a word or restructure a sentence without knowing how, why or even whether it made your writing better? Before the age of digital tools, our parents and grandparents turned to dictionaries for the same assistance. They picked up a heavy book, looked up what words meant and how they were used, and then carefully chose the language to express their ideas. In today’s world of spell-check, auto-correct and artificial intelligence (AI), each of which can help make those choices for us, why should we keep producing and using heavy physical dictionaries? Dictionaries help us write with originality (原创性) and a point of view. AI assistants manufacture (批量生产) statements so writers don’t have to think them up, while dictionaries provide us with knowledge to use language ourselves in expressive ways. They place choice right in human hands, forcing us to discover how we want to explain ourselves and our ideas to the world. Dictionaries aren’t just lists of words and meanings; they’ re also instructions for how best to use those words. For centuries, English dictionaries have shown the language of certain populations. At the same time, by systematizing the meanings, uses and connotations (内涵) of words, those same dictionaries have shaped language. Today, the numerous kinds of digital writing assistants require us to reconsider the role of dictionaries. In 1946, George Orwell, a famous British writer and journalist, described good writing as “picking out words because of their meaning”, a practice that dictionaries catalyze while digital writing assistants hold back. The assistants build your sentences and even think your thoughts for you, so writers who are guided by an app have their choices made for them. But writers who use a dictionary make a choice. It’s a fight between robotic consistency (一致性) and human creativity. Digital writing assistants say their users can rewrite full passages with a click and keep the writing style consistent, while dictionaries provide imperfect writers with a guide to English’s possibilities, so they will get the chance to think critically (批判地) about what and how to write. Our ability to express ourselves is important— it helps us explain our culture and our being. Dictionaries aid us in achieving this: They record our ways of thinking through language. As digital writing becomes more common in our lives, we need dictionaries more than ever, not to write quickly and correctly, but to build relationships with the words we use. Giving up on dictionaries would hurt our ability to express ourselves. Without a reason for self-expression and lifelong learning, we have to ask ourselves: Why write at all? 30. What can we learn about physical dictionaries? A. They make choices for writers. B. They inspire expressive wording. C. They focus on explaining meanings. D. They create more productive writers. 31. What does the word “catalyze” in Paragraph 5 most probably mean? A. Shape. B. Follow. C. Encourage. D. Slow. 32. Which of the following would the writer most probably agree with? A. AI assistants have a negative influence on people’s writing consistency. B. AI assistants improve people’s critical thinking skills through writing. C. Dictionaries change people’s ways of thinking by recording language. D. Dictionaries help keep people from losing their creativity in writing. 33. Which of the following is the best title for this passage? A. Write Quickly or Express Correctly B. Dictionaries Matter in the Digital Age C. From Human Choice to Digital Voice D. Dictionaries Work with Digital Assistants 【答案】30. B 31. C 32. D 33. B 【解析】 【导语】本文探讨了数字时代纸质词典的价值，对比了词典与AI写作助手的差异，强调词典对写作原创性、批判性思维的重要性。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据“dictionaries provide us with knowledge to use language ourselves in expressive ways”可知，纸质词典能启发富有表现力的文字运用。故选B。 【31题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“George Orwell…described good writing as ‘picking out words because of their meaning’, a practice that dictionaries catalyze while digital writing assistants hold back”可知，词典“促进”这种写作实践，而AI助手阻碍它，“catalyze”对应“Encourage（鼓励、促进）”。故选C。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据“It’s a fight between robotic consistency…and human creativity…dictionaries provide imperfect writers with a guide to English’s possibilities, so they will get the chance to think critically”可知，作者认为词典帮助人们在写作中保留创造力。故选D。 【33题详解】 最佳标题题。文章核心是“数字时代，词典依然重要”，“Dictionaries matter in the Digital Age”最贴合主题。故选B。 第二部分 本部分共5题，共20分。根据题目要求，完成相应任务。 四、阅读表达(第34-36题每题2分，第37题4分，共10分) 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 There’s a lot of fear around spending time alone. Alone time can make people really bored. Worse, some articles and studies warn us about the dangers of loneliness—one in 2017 says loneliness is as bad as smoking 15 cigarettes a day. Another in 2023 presents the risks of chronic (长期的) loneliness, such as increased risks of disease. However, not all alone time is the same. There’s chronic loneliness—and there’s solitude (独处). One is a serious problem. The other is a skill we must develop. Chronic loneliness happens when there is unhappiness about the state of having few friends or a sense of social isolation (隔离). But we do so many activities alone that don’t come with the dangers of chronic loneliness—reading a book, doing an art project or cooking a meal. This kind of positive alone time is called solitude, which is a state of being free of the requirements of others. While chronic loneliness is bad for our health, solitude can be the opposite. Yet we don’t know how to welcome it, and we often avoid it. We sometimes stay in bad relationships so as not to be alone. This isn’t surprising. One of the main parts of chronic loneliness is social isolation. According to John Cacioppo, a professor at the University of Chicago, loneliness is a biological sign similar to hunger or thirst. When we are in a state of painful loneliness, it is our bodies that give us information to find social support or social ties. However, being more in touch with our loneliness sensors helps us use the healthy kind of alone time. You wouldn’t be ashamed of needing water when thirsty, so why should you feel bad about feeling lonely? What’s more, we might have more control over how connected we feel with others than we think. According to a Yale’s study, if you can feel connected with loved ones even when you’re not around them, you can still feel socially connected. I am a believer in finding your best solitude style. I encourage those who don’t like being alone to try it out once. You may find yourself looking for it again and again. Taking a hike in the woods alone allows you to look at nature more closely than hiking with a friend. When you save a meaningful moment for just you, you get to be the only maker of your experiences. 34. When does chronic loneliness happen? ______________________________ 35. According to the passage, what is solitude? ______________________________ 36. What is the benefit of being more in touch with our loneliness sensors? ______________________________ 37. Do you think it is necessary for you to make time for solitude? Why or why not? (Please give two reasons. ) ______________________________ 【答案】34. When there is unhappiness about the state of having few friends or a sense of social isolation. 35. A state of being free of the requirements of others. 36. Helping us use the healthy kind of alone time. 37. Yes. First, solitude allows us to focus on personal interests like reading or art. Second, it helps us develop independence and self-awareness. 【解析】 【导语】本文主要探讨了独处与长期孤独的区别，并强调独处对身心健康的积极意义。 【34题详解】 根据“Chronic loneliness happens when there is unhappiness about the state of having few friends or a sense of social isolation (隔离).”可知，当人们对朋友少或社交孤立的状态感到不快时，就会产生长期孤独。故填When there is unhappiness about the state of having few friends or a sense of social isolation. 【35题详解】 根据“This kind of positive alone time is called solitude, which is a state of being free of the requirements of others.”可知，这种积极的独处时光被称为独处，即一种摆脱他人要求的状态。故填A state of being free of the requirements of others. 【36题详解】 根据“However, being more in touch with our loneliness sensors helps us use the healthy kind of alone time.”可知，更了解自身的孤独感有助于我们利用健康的独处时间。故填Helping us use the healthy kind of alone time. 【37题详解】 本题是开放性试题，答案言之有理即可，参考答案为Yes. First, solitude allows us to focus on personal interests like reading or art. Second, it helps us develop independence and self-awareness. 五、文段表达(10分) 38. 从下面两个题目中任选一题，根据所给的中文和英文提示，完成一篇不少于50词的英语文段写作。文中已给出内容不计入总词数。所给提示词语仅供选用。请不要写出真实的校名、姓名和地名。 题目① 38. 某英语网站近日发起一项国际青少年交流活动，面向各国学生招募发言人。假设你是李华，你看到该网站面向中国学生的招募信息（见网页截图），希望参与此项活动。请结合招募信息，用英语写一封申请信，说明自己的优势以及渴望参与的原因。 提示词语：knowledge, confident, introduce, friendship, wonderful 内容提示：·What are your advantages? ·Why do you want to be the presenter?
