B That cold January night, I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco. There I was, walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theater. With opening night only a week away, I was still learning my lines. I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco. City life had become too much for me. As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings, I felt very small and cold. I began running, both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers. Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets. About a block from my apartment, I heard a sound behind me. I turned quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining streetlight. Still, the noise had made me nervous, so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been. It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk. Suddenly I wasn’t cold or tired anymore. I ran out of the door and back to where I’d heard the noise. Although I searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found. Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard the garbage truck pulled up to the sidewalk next to me. When a voice called from the inside, “Alisa Camacho?” I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name? The door opened, and out jumped a small red-haired man with an amused look in his eyes: “Is this what you’re looking for?” he asked, holding up a small square shape. It was nearly 3 a.m. by the time I got into bed. I wouldn’t get much sleep that night, but I had gotten my wallet back. I also had gotten back some enjoyment of city life. I realized that the city couldn’t be a bad place as long as people were willing to help each other. 41. How did the author feel when she was walking home after work? A. Cold and sick. B. Fortunate and hopeful. C. Satisfied and cheerful. D. Disappointed and helpless. 42. What is the author’s problem in Paragraph 1? A She didn’t know how to learn acting in an evening school. B. She failed to balance her part-time job and acting. C. She had to take part in various city activities. D. She gave up both acting and San Francisco. 43. On her way home the author ______. A. lost her wallet unknowingly B. was stopped by a garbage truck driver C. was robbed of her wallet by an armed man D. found some homeless people following her 44. In the fifth paragraph, why did the author say she was dreaming? A. Her wallet was found in a garbage truck. B. Someone offered to take her back home. C. She heard someone call her name. D. A red-haired man came to see her. 45. From the passage, we can infer that the author ______. A. would stop working at night B. would stay on in San Francisco C. would make friends with cleaners D. would give up her job at the bank C Back in 1930, economist John Maynard Keynes predicted that with technological change and improvements in productivity, we’d be working only 15 hours a week in the near future. But while working hours have declined by 26%, most of us still work 42.5 hours a week on average, according to Eurostat figures. One of the things Keynes underestimated is our desire to compete with our peers — a drive that makes us work more than we need to. “We don’t measure productivity by how many acres we’ve harvested, so the amount of working time becomes an indicator.” says Alex Soojung-Kim Pang. Due to computerization and globalization in the 1980s, managers could demand more of employees under the threat that jobs could be given to someone else, so the pressure increased. And we took it, overwhelmed with the pressure while shouldering the burden all the same at the cost of our health. Psychologist Barbara Killinger writes such a phenomenon in Workaholics: The Respectable Addicts. But far from delivering productivity, value, or personal fulfillment, overwork has been proven to lead to burnout, stress, poor health, etc. Nevertheless, we persisted — until the fourth Industrial Revolution came along. The fourth Industrial Revolution has accelerated the move towards automation and AI, especially for jobs with high physical proximity (接近). Economist Dr. Carl Frey predicts that at least 40% of current jobs will be lost to automation by 2050. There are exceptions. Jobs that involve complex social interactions are beyond current robot skills, such as teaching, cleaning jobs, and jobs that rely on creativity, according to Frey and Osborne. According to McKinsey, those whose work falls outside the caring, cleaning and creative fields will still work in the future, just differently. In about 60% of occupations, it’s estimated that a third of the tasks can be automated, meaning substantial changes to the way we work. A large-scale study carried out by accountancy firm PricewaterhouseCoopers predicted that over the next 20 years, although 7 million jobs will be lost to AI, 7.2 million new ones will be created as a result. So we will work in the future: we just don’t know what we’ll be doing yet. 46. What do the figures in Paragraph 1 mainly indicate? A. Our working time failed to decrease as much as predicted. B. Technology keeps changing with the development of society. C. Keynes’ prediction mainly focused on productivity improvement. D. Overwork will result in fierce competition between employees. 47. What might lead to the disagreement between the reality and Keynes estimation? A. People’s false sense of time. B. People’s awareness of peer competition. C. People’s ignoring the quality of their jobs. D. People’s pressure to increase productivity. 48. How did most employees respond to the managers’ pressure in the 1980s? A. They argued for fairness. B. They devoted more to their work. C. They tried to escape shouldering the burden. D. They emphasized the importance of their health. 49. Which of the following situations will appear under the influence of automation and AI? A. Counseling service will be paid less attention to. B. More and more cleaners become unemployed in cities. C. A majority of teachers will be replaced by robots. D. The types of jobs with high physical proximity will be transformed. 50. What is McKinsey’s attitude towards automation and AI? A. Worried. B. Hopeful. C. Objective. D. Indifferent. D Eat healthier. Exercise twice a week. Read more books. Lose weight. We make the same resolutions (决心) every year, but most of us fail, dying out (放弃) after only a few days or, at best, weeks. Even we most successful among us crash and burn when it comes to personal change. President-elect Barack Obama struggles to remove (戒掉) his cigarette habit. Professionals who help people make changes in their lives suggest the change is determined not by one’s surroundings, but one’s mind. Beginning with small goals or steps usually leads to a bigger payoff (付出) later, they say. But they caution (警告) that the experience is different for everyone. “People are more likely to make positive changes in their lives not only when their friends do, but when friends of their friends do, and when friends of their friends of friends do,” said Nicholas Christakis, a professor of medical sociology at Harvard University. “People are better able to make changes in their lives — lose weight, quit smoking, become happy — when they do this with a large number of other people, and so taking advantage of your social network ties can contribute to your own efforts.” Johnny Augustin understands that well. His resolution (决心) for 2021 was to reduce 30 pounds from his 237-pound frame. But the change didn’t come easily. He said, “I’m a procrastinator. I kept putting it off until tomorrow. I didn’t get to do it until the summer.” However, Augustin got inspired (受鼓舞的) when he saw his older brother working out. Today, Augustin weighs 190 pounds. “Of course, change can happen only if people don’t set their expectations (期望) too high or try to deal with too many changes at once; one of the biggest mistakes we make is setting unrealistic goals,” said Dalia Llera, a psychologist at Lesley University. “You can’t accomplish in a few weeks what you haven’t accomplished in a few years,” said Llera. 51. From the first paragraph we can infer that ______. A. change for a person is challenging B. famous people have great determination C. most people don’t want to change themselves D. personal change is beyond belief 52. It is known from Nicholas Christakis that ______. A. making a change is easier with support from a cheerful group of friends B. social networks have great effect on one’s change C. people who have the same attitude often get together D. people’s mood can contribute to their efforts 53. The word “procrastinator” in Paragraph 4 refers to those who ______. A. have great determination to make a change B. have no desire to do something great C. delay work especially because of laziness D. have habitual carelessness and laziness 54. According to the passage, Dalia Llera suggested that ______. A. people should understand their goals well B. people should try their best to change themselves C. people should have confidence and positive habits D. people should start with setting small goals to meet 55. The passage is mainly about ______. A. the reason why losing weight is so hard B. the effect of the positive change C. the attitudes towards change in life D. the ways of making a change 第三部分 写作(共35分) 阅读表达：阅读短文，并按题目要求用英语回答问题(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 第一节：阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 Books have great power. Between their pages, readers can be transported to anywhere imaginable and become just about anyone … or anything. Unfortunately, many children all over the world don’t have access to books! For several years now, Maria Keller, a 16-year-old girl from Minneapolis, Minnesota, has been changing that fact. When she was 8 years old, Maria already loved reading. She also noticed that some of her classmates didn’t read as much as she did. When she asked her mother why that could be, her mother said that they might not be able to afford books. Maria had never thought of this. She could not believe that some children might not have bedtime stories read to them. She became determined to change this. With her mother’s help, Maria created Read Indeed, a non-profit organization committed to collecting and distributing books to children in need. During the early stages of Read Indeed, Maria set the goal to collect and distribute 1 million books by the time she was 18. It didn’t take long to reach that goal! She reached her goal at age 13! Today, at age 16, she has collected over 2.8 million books and has shipped them to many states and countries around the world. She says, “I cannot live without books. As I continue my mission, I have learned that the number of kids who have no books is in the hundreds of millions, so I just can’t leave off, even after reaching my original goal of 1 million books distributed.” She recently set a new goal: to distribute donations to kids in need in every state in the United States, and every country in the world. She keeps track of her progress on a large map at the warehouse where they store and sort books. And now, as Maria prepares to attend college, her younger brother Ryan Keller is taking over Read Indeed. 56. What had young Maria never thought of?

A. stands B. stood C. has stood D. will be standing 【答案】D 【解析】 【分析】考查时态。 【详解】句意：——妈妈，爸爸会来接我们吗？——会的，我确信当我们进站时他会正站在站台上。根据句意 when we pull into the station指的是将来的时间，stand则是将来正在进行的动作，要用将来进行时态。故选D。 8.

A. taking B. taken C. being taken D. take 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查过去分词。句意：我需要一个新护照，所以我必须去拍照。 此处为“I和宾语photograph以外的第三人完成，也就是photograph和take之间是被动关系，“照片”是被拍，表达该意时，应使用have+宾语+宾补”结构，意为“让/叫/使/请别人做某事”。此结构中的have是使役动词，take与宾语my photograph之间为被动关系，所以此处使用过去分词形式作宾补。故选B。 12.

A. wonder, wander B. wound, wonder C. wander, wonder D. wander, wound 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查动词词义辨析。句意：当你漫步穿过这片古老的森林时，很容易会好奇它蕴藏的故事与秘密。A. wonder好奇，想知道，wander漫步；B. wound使受伤，wonder好奇，想知道；C. wander漫步，wonder好奇，想知道；D. wander漫步，wound使受伤。根据第一空后“through the ancient forest”可知，此处指在森林里漫步，第一空填wander；根据第二空后“about the stories and secrets it holds”可知，此处指对森林的故事和秘密感到好奇，第二空填wonder。故选C项。 13. ______ a small amount of money each month is widely recognized as a good habit for personal finance management. A. Picking out B. Laying aside C. Giving away D. Getting back 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查动词短语词义辨析。 句意：每月存下一小笔钱被公认为是个人理财的好习惯。 A. Picking out 挑选出；辨认出； B. Laying aside 储存；搁置 ；C. Giving away 赠送；泄露； D.

It was the second time I ______ to the city but it still attracted me deeply. A. have taken B. had taken C. have been taken D. had been taken 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】考查固定句型。句意：——Amy，你的北京之旅怎么样？——太棒了。这是我第二次被带到这座城市，但它依然深深吸引着我。“It was the + 序数词 + time + 从句”是固定句型，该句型中从句要用过去完成时，且I与take是被动关系，应用过去完成时的被动语态had been taken。故选D项。 15. ______ children to understand the need to obey rules and respect others is widely thought to be the responsibility of parents. A. Educating B. To be educated C. Educated D. Having educated 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词用法辨析。句意：教育孩子明白遵守规则和尊重他人的必要性，被广泛认为是父母的责任。分析句子结构可知，本句缺少主语，描述的是“教育孩子”这一抽象行为，Educating作动名词主语，符合“父母主动教育孩子”的语义和语法规则。故选A项。 第二节 完形填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分，满分30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。 It was just after sunrise on a June morning. “Nicolo,” whose real name cannot be ___16___ to the public because of Italy’s privacy laws, ___17___ working the whole night at a factory in Turin.

There I was, walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theater. With opening night only a week away, I was still learning my lines. I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco. City life had become too much for me. As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings, I felt very small and cold. I began running, both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers. Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets. About a block from my apartment, I heard a sound behind me. I turned quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining streetlight. Still, the noise had made me nervous, so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been. It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk. Suddenly I wasn’t cold or tired anymore. I ran out of the door and back to where I’d heard the noise. Although I searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found. Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard the garbage truck pulled up to the sidewalk next to me. When a voice called from the inside, “Alisa Camacho?” I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name? The door opened, and out jumped a small red-haired man with an amused look in his eyes: “Is this what you’re looking for?” he asked, holding up a small square shape. It was nearly 3 a.m. by the time I got into bed. I wouldn’t get much sleep that night, but I had gotten my wallet back. I also had gotten back some enjoyment of city life. I realized that the city couldn’t be a bad place as long as people were willing to help each other. 41. How did the author feel when she was walking home after work? A. Cold and sick. B. Fortunate and hopeful. C. Satisfied and cheerful. D. Disappointed and helpless. 42. What is the author’s problem in Paragraph 1? A. She didn’t know how to learn acting in an evening school. B. She failed to balance her part-time job and acting. C. She had to take part in various city activities. D. She gave up both acting and San Francisco. 43. On her way home the author ______. A. lost her wallet unknowingly B. was stopped by a garbage truck driver C. was robbed of her wallet by an armed man D. found some homeless people following her 44. In the fifth paragraph, why did the author say she was dreaming? A. Her wallet was found in a garbage truck. B. Someone offered to take her back home. C. She heard someone call her name. D. A red-haired man came to see her. 45. From the passage, we can infer that the author ______. A. would stop working at night B. would stay on in San Francisco C. would make friends with cleaners D. would give up her job at the bank 【答案】41. D 42. B 43. A 44. C 45. B 【解析】 【分析】本文属于记叙文。在一个失意的夜晚作者独自回家，工作及生活的不顺使作者心情沮丧，甚至于考虑要放弃在旧金山这个大都市的生活。然而随后发生的钱包失而复得的事情却让作者感受到了人们之间的温暖，也感受到了世界的美好，内心又充满了对城市生活的希望。 【41题详解】 推理判断题。根据首段“As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco. City life had become too much for me.(我一边走，一边认真地考虑着要不要放弃演戏和旧金山。城市生活对我来说已经太多了)”可知，作者想放弃演戏甚至城市生活的消极心态说明了作者走在大街上的心情，用disappointed形容正确。第二段“As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings, I felt very small and cold.(当我走在高楼下面空荡荡的街道上时，我觉得自己非常渺小和寒冷)”可知，高楼和空寂的大街衬托出我的渺小和无助，因此用helpless形容也很正确。故选D。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的“I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time.(我在银行的兼职工作和晚上的表演都让我很头疼)”可知，作者没有协调好兼职工作与表演之间的关系。故选B。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的“Still, the noise had made me nervous, so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been. It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk.(尽管如此，那声音还是让我紧张，所以我开始跑得更快了。直到我到达我的公寓大楼，打开门，我才意识到刚才的声音是什么。原来是我的钱包掉到人行道上了)”可知，作者在回家的路上不知不觉地丢了钱包。故选A。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“When a voice called from the inside, “Alisa Camacho?” I thought I was dreaming.(这时有个声音从里面喊道“艾丽莎·卡马乔？”我以为我在做梦)”可知，听见有人叫他的名字，作者以为在做梦。故选C。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“I also had got back some enjoyment of city life. I realized that the city couldn't be a bad place as long as people were willing to help each other.(我也恢复了一些城市生活的乐趣。我意识到只要人们愿意互相帮助，城市就不会是一个糟糕的地方)”可推知，作者可能会继续留在旧金山。故选B。 C Back in 1930, economist John Maynard Keynes predicted that with technological change and improvements in productivity, we’d be working only 15 hours a week in the near future. But while working hours have declined by 26%, most of us still work 42.5 hours a week on average, according to Eurostat figures. One of the things Keynes underestimated is our desire to compete with our peers — a drive that makes us work more than we need to. “We don’t measure productivity by how many acres we’ve harvested, so the amount of working time becomes an indicator.” says Alex Soojung-Kim Pang. Due to computerization and globalization in the 1980s, managers could demand more of employees under the threat that jobs could be given to someone else, so the pressure increased. And we took it, overwhelmed with the pressure while shouldering the burden all the same at the cost of our health. Psychologist Barbara Killinger writes such a phenomenon in Workaholics: The Respectable Addicts. But far from delivering productivity, value, or personal fulfillment, overwork has been proven to lead to burnout, stress, poor health, etc. Nevertheless, we persisted — until the fourth Industrial Revolution came along. The fourth Industrial Revolution has accelerated the move towards automation and AI, especially for jobs with high physical proximity (接近). Economist Dr. Carl Frey predicts that at least 40% of current jobs will be lost to automation by 2050. There are exceptions. Jobs that involve complex social interactions are beyond current robot skills, such as teaching, cleaning jobs, and jobs that rely on creativity, according to Frey and Osborne. According to McKinsey, those whose work falls outside the caring, cleaning and creative fields will still work in the future, just differently. In about 60% of occupations, it’s estimated that a third of the tasks can be automated, meaning substantial changes to the way we work. A large-scale study carried out by accountancy firm PricewaterhouseCoopers predicted that over the next 20 years, although 7 million jobs will be lost to AI, 7.2 million new ones will be created as a result. So we will work in the future: we just don’t know what we’ll be doing yet. 46. What do the figures in Paragraph 1 mainly indicate? A. Our working time failed to decrease as much as predicted. B. Technology keeps changing with the development of society. C. Keynes’ prediction mainly focused on productivity improvement. D. Overwork will result in fierce competition between employees. 47. What might lead to the disagreement between the reality and Keynes estimation? A. People’s false sense of time. B. People’s awareness of peer competition. C. People’s ignoring the quality of their jobs. D. People’s pressure to increase productivity. 48. How did most employees respond to the managers’ pressure in the 1980s? A. They argued for fairness. B. They devoted more to their work. C. They tried to escape shouldering the burden. D. They emphasized the importance of their health. 49. Which of the following situations will appear under the influence of automation and AI? A. Counseling service will be paid less attention to. B. More and more cleaners become unemployed in cities. C. A majority of teachers will be replaced by robots. D. The types of jobs with high physical proximity will be transformed. 50. What is McKinsey’s attitude towards automation and AI? A. Worried. B. Hopeful. C. Objective. D. Indifferent. 【答案】46. A 47. B 48. B 49. D 50. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了人类工作时间的变化，以及人工智能和自动化对工作方式的影响。 【46题详解】 推理判断题。由第一段“Back in 1930, economist John Maynard Keynes predicted that with technological change and improvements in productivity, we’d be working only 15 hours a week in the near future. But while working hours have declined by 26%, most of us still work 42.5 hours a week on average, according to Eurostat figures. (早在1930年，经济学家约翰·梅纳德·凯恩斯就预测，随着技术变革和生产力的提高，在不久的将来，我们每周只工作15小时。但是，根据欧盟统计局的数据，尽管工作时间减少了26%，但我们大多数人每周平均工作42.5小时)”可知，第一段中的数字表示，与之前经济学家预测的每周只工作15小时相比，我们的工作时间没有减少到预期的那么多。故选A项。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。由第二段中“One of the things Keynes underestimated is our desire to compete with our peers — a drive that makes us work more than we need to. (凯恩斯低估的一件事是，我们渴望与同龄人竞争，这种动力使我们工作得比需要的多)”可知，人们对同行竞争的意识导致了现实与凯恩斯估计之间的不匹配。故选B项。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。由第三段中“Due to computerization and globalization in the 1980s, managers could demand more of employees under the threat that jobs could be given to someone else, so the pressure increased. And we took it, overwhelmed with the pressure while shouldering the burden all the same at the cost of our health. (由于20世纪80年代的计算机化和全球化，在工作可能交给他人的威胁下，管理者可能会对员工要求更多，因此压力增加了。我们接受了它，承受着巨大的压力，同时也以牺牲我们的健康为代价承担着负担)”可知，为了不失去工作，员工承受巨大压力，牺牲健康，接受了管理者对其更多的工作要求，换句话说，员工通过更多地投入工作来应对管理者的压力。故选B项。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。由第五段“The fourth Industrial Revolution has accelerated the move towards automation and AI, especially for jobs with high physical proximity (接近). Economist Dr. Carl Frey predicts that at least 40% of current jobs will be lost to automation by 2050. (第四次工业革命加速了向自动化和人工智能的转变，尤其是对于近距离就业的工作。经济学家卡尔·弗雷博士预测，到2050年，至少40%的现有工作岗位将因自动化而流失)”可知，在自动化和人工智能的影响下，近距离就业的工作类型会发生大变化。故选D项。 【50题详解】 推理判断题。由最后一段中“According to McKinsey, those whose work falls outside the caring, cleaning and creative fields will still work in the future, just differently. In about 60% of occupations, it’s estimated that a third of the tasks can be automated, meaning substantial changes to the way we work. (麦肯锡表示，那些工作不在护理、清洁和创意领域的人，未来仍将以不同的方式工作。据估计，在大约60%的职业中，三分之一的任务可以实现自动化，这意味着我们的工作方式将发生重大变化)”可知，就自动化和人工智能一事，麦肯锡只是陈述了一个事实（在大约60%的职业中，三分之一的任务可以实现自动化，未来人们的工作方式将发生巨变），并未带有强烈的感情色彩，可得出他对自动化和人工智能持客观的态度。故选C项。 D Eat healthier. Exercise twice a week. Read more books. Lose weight. We make the same resolutions (决心) every year, but most of us fail, dying out (放弃) after only a few days or, at best, weeks. Even we most successful among us crash and burn when it comes to personal change. President-elect Barack Obama struggles to remove (戒掉) his cigarette habit. Professionals who help people make changes in their lives suggest the change is determined not by one’s surroundings, but one’s mind. Beginning with small goals or steps usually leads to a bigger payoff (付出) later, they say. But they caution (警告) that the experience is different for everyone. “People are more likely to make positive changes in their lives not only when their friends do, but when friends of their friends do, and when friends of their friends of friends do,” said Nicholas Christakis, a professor of medical sociology at Harvard University. “People are better able to make changes in their lives — lose weight, quit smoking, become happy — when they do this with a large number of other people, and so taking advantage of your social network ties can contribute to your own efforts.” Johnny Augustin understands that well. His resolution (决心) for 2021 was to reduce 30 pounds from his 237-pound frame. But the change didn’t come easily. He said, “I’m a procrastinator. I kept putting it off until tomorrow. I didn’t get to do it until the summer.” However, Augustin got inspired (受鼓舞的) when he saw his older brother working out. Today, Augustin weighs 190 pounds. “Of course, change can happen only if people don’t set their expectations (期望) too high or try to deal with too many changes at once; one of the biggest mistakes we make is setting unrealistic goals,” said Dalia Llera, a psychologist at Lesley University. “You can’t accomplish in a few weeks what you haven’t accomplished in a few years,” said Llera. 51. From the first paragraph we can infer that ______. A. change for a person is challenging B. famous people have great determination C. most people don’t want to change themselves D. personal change is beyond belief 52. It is known from Nicholas Christakis that ______. A. making a change is easier with support from a cheerful group of friends B. social networks have great effect on one’s change C. people who have the same attitude often get together D. people’s mood can contribute to their efforts 53. The word “procrastinator” in Paragraph 4 refers to those who ______. A. have great determination to make a change B. have no desire to do something great C. delay work especially because of laziness D. have habitual carelessness and laziness 54. According to the passage, Dalia Llera suggested that ______. A. people should understand their goals well B. people should try their best to change themselves C. people should have confidence and positive habits D. people should start with setting small goals to meet 55. The passage is mainly about ______. A. the reason why losing weight is so hard B. the effect of the positive change C. the attitudes towards change in life D. the ways of making a change 【答案】51. A 52. B 53. C 54. D 55. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。日常生活中我们常常下决心，但是很难坚持下去，本文通过具体的事例和专家的分析说明应该怎样去做才能改变：利用社交网络，和很多人一起做，这能使自己的改变努力产生巨大的结果；起初设定小目标和小步伐才能最终通往最终的大目标。 【51题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Even we most successful among us crash and burn when it comes to personal change.(当涉及到个人改变时，即使我们中最成功的人也会失败)”可以推断出，改变对一个人来说很难，故选A。 【52题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“People are better able to make ranges in their lives — lose weight, quit smoking, become happy — when they do this with a large number of other people, and so taking advantage of your social network ties can contribute to your own efforts.(当人们和很多人一起行动时，往往能更顺利地做出生活上的改变——比如减肥、戒烟、获得快乐等。因此，充分利用自己的社交网络关系能够助力个人的努力)”可知，当和很多人一起做时人们更容易改变，所以他建议利用社交网络能使自己的努力产生巨大的结果，故选B。 【53题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中“I kept putting it off until tomorrow. I didn’t get to do it until the summer.(我一直把它推迟到明天。我直到夏天才开始去做这件事)”可知，Johnny Augustin认为自己是个严重的拖延症者，故procrastinator一词指的是那些故意拖延工作的人，而他们之所以这样做，主要是因为懒惰。故选C。 【54题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段““Of course, change can happen only if people don’t set their expectations (期望) too high or try to deal with too many changes at once; one of the biggest mistakes we make is setting unrealistic goals,” said Dalia Llera, a psychologist at Lesley University.(“当然，要想实现改变，就必须避免将期望设定得过高，也不要试图一次性应对太多的变化；我们所犯的最大错误之一就是设定不切实际的目标。”莱斯利大学的心理学家达莉亚·利拉说道)”可知，Dalia Llera建议人们不要设定不切实际的目标，要从小目标开始。故选D。 【55题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Professionals who help people make changes in their lives suggest the change is determined not by one’s surroundings, but one’s mind. Beginning with small goals or steps usually leads to a bigger payoff (付出) later, they say. But they caution (警告) that the experience is different for everyone.(那些帮助人们改变生活的专业人士认为，改变并非由外部环境决定，而是由人的思想决定的。他们表示，从较小的目标或步骤开始往往能带来更大的回报。不过他们也提醒说，这种经历对每个人来说都是不同的)”以及全文内容可知，文章首先分析日常生活中我们常常下决心，但是这个决心很难坚持下去，由此引出“改变难”；然后通过具体的事例和专家的分析说明应该怎样去做才能改变，故本文主要分析如何改变，故选D。 第三部分 写作(共35分) 阅读表达：阅读短文，并按题目要求用英语回答问题(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 第一节：阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 Books have great power. Between their pages, readers can be transported to anywhere imaginable and become just about anyone … or anything. Unfortunately, many children all over the world don’t have access to books! For several years now, Maria Keller, a 16-year-old girl from Minneapolis, Minnesota, has been changing that fact. When she was 8 years old, Maria already loved reading. She also noticed that some of her classmates didn’t read as much as she did. When she asked her mother why that could be, her mother said that they might not be able to afford books. Maria had never thought of this. She could not believe that some children might not have bedtime stories read to them. She became determined to change this. With her mother’s help, Maria created Read Indeed, a non-profit organization committed to collecting and distributing books to children in need. During the early stages of Read Indeed, Maria set the goal to collect and distribute 1 million books by the time she was 18. It didn’t take long to reach that goal! She reached her goal at age 13! Today, at age 16, she has collected over 2.8 million books and has shipped them to many states and countries around the world. She says, “I cannot live without books. As I continue my mission, I have learned that the number of kids who have no books is in the hundreds of millions, so I just can’t leave off, even after reaching my original goal of 1 million books distributed.” She recently set a new goal: to distribute donations to kids in need in every state in the United States, and every country in the world. She keeps track of her progress on a large map at the warehouse where they store and sort books. And now, as Maria prepares to attend college, her younger brother Ryan Keller is taking over Read Indeed. 56. What had young Maria never thought of?

The reason why Maria started/created Read Indeed. /The reason for Maria’s starting/creating Read Indeed. 58. Stop. 59. Because Maria will attend college. 60. Even a child can make a difference to the world because she started a movement for every kid to read. 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文写的是一个叫Maria的一个小女孩从小喜欢看书，但是发现别的孩子不喜欢，于是在妈妈的帮助下建立一个非盈利组织来带动更多的孩子融入知识的海洋。 【56题详解】 考查细节理解。由第二段中“She also noticed that some of her classmates didn’t read as much as she did. When she asked her mother why that could be, her mother said that they might not be able to afford books. Maria had never thought of this. She could not believe that some children might not have bedtime stories read to them. (她还注意到，她的一些同学没有她读得那么多。当她问母亲为什么会这样时，母亲说他们可能买不起书。玛丽亚从来没有想过这一点。她不敢相信有些孩子可能没有睡前故事给他们读)”可知，年幼的玛丽亚从未想过她的一些同学可能买不起书。故答案为：Some of her classmates might not afford books. 【57题详解】 考查主旨大意。由第二段“When she was 8 years old, Maria already loved reading. She also noticed that some of her classmates didn’t read as much as she did. When she asked her mother why that could be, her mother said that they might not be able to afford books. Maria had never thought of this. She could not believe that some children might not have bedtime stories read to them. She became determined to change this. With her mother’s help, Maria created Read Indeed, a non-profit organization committed to collecting and distributing books to children in need. (玛丽亚8岁的时候就已经很喜欢读书了。她还注意到，她的一些同学没有她读得那么多。当她问母亲为什么会这样时，母亲说他们可能买不起书。玛丽亚从来没有想过这一点。她不敢相信有些孩子可能没有睡前故事给他们读。她下定决心要改变这种状况。在母亲的帮助下，玛丽亚创建了Read Indeed，这是一个致力于收集书籍并将其分发给有需要的儿童的非营利组织)”可知，第二段主要讲玛丽亚创办“Read Indeed”的原因。故答案为：The reason why Maria started/created Read Indeed./The reason for Maria’s starting/creating Read Indeed. 【58题详解】 考查词句猜测。由第四段中“As I continue my mission, I have learned that the number of kids who have no books is in the hundreds of millions, so I just can’t leave off, even after reaching my original goal of 1 million books distributed. (随着我继续我的使命，我了解到没有书的孩子有数亿，所以我不能leave off，即使在实现了分发100万本书的最初目标之后)”和最后一段中“She recently set a new goal: to distribute donations to kids in need in every state in the United States, and every country in the world. (她最近设定了一个新目标：向美国各州和世界上每个国家有需要的儿童分发捐赠书籍)”可知，了解到没有书的孩子有数亿，玛丽亚在实现了分发100万本书的最初目标之后又设定了一个新目标继续分发捐赠书籍，说明她不会停止分发捐赠书籍的举动，划线词意为“Stop (停止)”。故答案为：Stop. 【59题详解】 考查细节理解。由最后一段中“And now, as Maria prepares to attend college, her younger brother Ryan Keller is taking over Read Indeed. (在，当玛丽亚准备上大学时，她的弟弟瑞安·凯勒将接管Read Indeed)”可知，因为玛丽亚要上大学了，所以瑞安·凯勒会负责Read Indeed。故答案为：Because Maria will attend college. 【60题详解】 考查开放答题。考生可根据文章大意，得出感悟，例如：即使是一个孩子也能改变世界，因为她发起了一场让每个孩子都读书的运动。故答案为：Even a child can make a difference to the world because she started a movement for every kid to read. 第二部分：书面表达(25分) 61. 假如你是五十五中学高中学生会主席毕胜，面对高一的学弟学妹在如何进行选科中存在一些困惑的现象，你计划以演讲的形式对他们进行一次集体辅导。 内容包括： (1)选科时存在的一些问题（盲目放弃3科，只以某次考试成绩高低作为选择标准……）； (2)结合自己亲身经历给出一些建议； (3)对于高一学弟学妹们提出自己的希望和祝福。 注意： (1)请不要使用本人的名字； (2)词数不少于120； (3)不要逐条翻译，可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 参考词汇： select 挑选 criterion 标准 Dear brothers and sisters, I’m Bi Sheng, the chairman of the Students’ Union. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Dear brothers and sisters, I’m Bi Sheng, the chairman of the Students’ Union. I remember clearly how confusing subject selection felt when I was in your shoes. Many students make choices based only on one test score or blindly give up three subjects they think are “too hard.” Others follow friends or trends without considering their own interests — mistakes that can lead to frustration later. When I chose my subjects, I didn’t just look at grades. I asked myself which classes made me curious, which topics I wanted to explore further, and what career paths truly inspired me. I also talked to teachers and seniors, which helped me see beyond short-term difficulty. My hope for you is this: choose thoughtfully, not hastily. Let your passion and long-term goals —not fear or convenience — guide you. Believe in your ability to grow, and trust that the right combination will open doors to your future. Wishing you clarity, courage, and confidence! 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文。要求考生以高中学生会主席的身份，向高一学弟学妹开展选科辅导演讲，需指出选科时存在的问题、结合自身经历给出建议，并表达希望与祝福。 【详解】1. 词汇积累 困惑的：confusing→puzzling 盲目地：blindly→unthinkingly 挫折：frustration→disappointment 仓促地：hastily→rashly 2. 句式拓展 同义句转换 原句：Others follow friends or trends without considering their own interests — mistakes that can lead to frustration later. 拓展句：Others follow friends or trends without considering their own interests, which are mistakes that can lead to frustration later. 【点睛】【高分句型1】I also talked to teachers and seniors, which helped me see beyond short-term difficulty.（运用了which引导的非限制性定语从句） 【高分句型2】Believe in your ability to grow, and trust that the right combination will open doors to your future.（运用了that引导的宾语从句作trust的宾语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
