More than half of the 1,000 consumers surveyed by Credit Karma, an American multinational personal finance company, said they have shopped to deal with feelings of stress, anxiety or depression. 23% of the consumers said they maxed out a credit card in the past year. In regard to genders, 52% of men and 82% of women said they purchased clothes when they were stressed. 42% of women also spent on jewelry compared to 22% of men. 44% of men spent on electronic products, compared to 30% of women. In fact, shopping to relieve stress is called shopping therapy. It can actually help you live a healthier life by making sure that your blood pressure is lowered. However, for many people, shopping therapy could cause financial crisis and family conflict, adding a significant amount of stress to a person’s life. 第二部分：阅读理解(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A Best Places to Visit in Winter Rovaniemi, Finland If you love ice and snow, then you’ll love exploring Rovaniemi. Why? Simply because it’s one of the top winter destinations in Europe. Sitting in northern Finland, Rovaniemi is the gateway to Finland’s famous Lapland — the home of Santa Claus. Rovaniemi is the perfect place to watch the impressive Northern Lights, go on a husky ride, or even visit an ice hotel. St. Kitts & Nevis, Caribbean If you’re looking to escape the rain, snow, and grey skies, then St. Kitts and Nevis is one of the top places to go in the winter. This dual-island nation sits between the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. It has perfect weather all year round, with temperatures of 25℃ in winter. Apart from lying on the beaches, you can also enjoy the Carnival around Christmas, sailing and diving tours, and historical tours of the islands. Cape Town, South Africa Cape Town is one of South Africa’s most picturesque destinations, with loads of exciting things to do. From visiting the 7th Wonder of Nature, Table Mountain, to surfing the waves of the city’s amazing beaches, there’s something for everyone. Cape Town is only a short drive away from the iconic (标志性的) Cape Winelands, where you can enjoy vineyard and winery tours with wine tasting and food pairings. Lanzarote, Spain With interesting rock formations, volcanoes, and amazing blue waters, Lanzarote is a top choice for many travellers running away from cold European winters. Lanzarote is the most eastern of the Canary Islands. Expect to find black and red earth, white and golden sand beaches and rolling mountains. The average weather stays around the 20℃ mark, so you can enjoy the sunshine without worrying too much about sunburn. 21. Which country is the best place to see the Northern Lights located in? A. Finland. B. Caribbean. C. South Africa. D. Spain. 22. Where will you go if you want to appreciate wine? A. Rovaniemi. B. St. Kitts & Nevis. C. Cape Town. D. Lanzarote. 23. Which is probably the best place to visit for those interested in stones? A. Rovaniemi. B. Cape Town. C. St. Kitts & Nevis. D. Lanzarote. 【答案】21. A 22. C 23. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了四个适合冬季旅行的目的地。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据Rovaniemi, Finland部分的“Rovaniemi is the perfect place to watch the impressive Northern Lights, go on a husky ride, or even visit an ice hotel. (罗瓦涅米是观看令人印象深刻的北极光，乘坐哈士奇雪橇，甚至参观冰酒店的理想场所。)”可知，四个国家中，芬兰是观赏北极光的最佳地点。故选A项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Cape Town, South Africa部分的“Cape Town is only a short drive away from the iconic (标志性的) Cape Winelands, where you can enjoy vineyard and winery tours with wine tasting and food pairings. (开普敦距离标志性的开普酒乡只有很短的车程，在那里你可以享受葡萄园和酒庄之旅，还能体验葡萄酒品鉴及美食搭配活动。)”可知，开普敦是品尝红酒的最佳选择。故选C项。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据Lanzarote, Spain部分的“With interesting rock formations, volcanoes, and amazing blue waters, Lanzarote is a top choice for many travellers running away from cold European winters. (兰萨罗特岛拥有有趣的岩层、火山和令人惊叹的蓝色海水，是许多逃离欧洲寒冷冬季的旅行者的首选。)”和“Expect to find black and red earth (预计能找到黑红相间的土壤)”可知，兰萨罗特岛最适合对岩石感兴趣的人。故选D项。 B As I walked toward my kindergarten teacher’s desk, I felt excited. Mrs Stuchio pulled out the little plastic chair and told me to sit. I placed my workbook on the table and began. “A pig can jig,” I recited. “Excellent,” she said. “Go on.” As I read the words and looked at the pigs, I felt strong, smart... happy. I don’t remember much else about that day in 1974 at the Hills School in Dix Hills, but when I realized that sounding out letters on a page allowed me to read an entire story, I was attracted. When I was old enough to read chapter books, I couldn’t get enough of them, like Harriet the Spy, All-of-A-Kind Family, etc. Then I graduated to Danielle Steel and Sidney Sheldon. Back then, the “young adult” type didn’t exist; I went straight from family breakfast scenes to love stories, like Evergreen by Belva Plain. At junior high school, English became my favorite class. I have vivid memories of Mrs Ayers reading The Cask of the Amontillado aloud as my eighth-grade classmates and I sat fascinated by her deep and emotional voice. In following English classes, my teachers assigned demanding books such as The Stranger, A Tale of Two Cities and complex research papers. For the first time, I felt book-related anxiety. After getting my college degree in English and working at seventeen magazines, books called again: I left to get my teaching certification. As a new English teacher in Manhattan, I stressed the importance of immersive reading. Annotations (注释), I felt, broke the drive. “Sustained silent reading”, during which students spent entire periods reading, was essential to my curriculum. Today, as a librarian at Manhasset High School, I promote reading with enthusiasm. In a recent ninth-grade class, I created a “reading workout”. Students sampled books spread across tables and read with no schedule. I’d never seen them more engaged. For now, I’ll keep getting lost in reading and use my platform as a librarian to share my passion. 24. What made the author first find reading attractive? A. Reading chapter books. B. Discussing young adult books. C. Sounding out letters on a page. D. Engaging with romance stories. 25. What can we learn about the author in junior high school? A. She found English classes boring. B. She preferred reading demanding books. C. She was attracted by family breakfast scenes in books. D. She started to feel stressed about some reading tasks. 26. What did the author emphasize in reading during her teaching? A. Group reading. B. Critical reading. C. Uninterrupted reading. D. Relaxing reading. 27. How did the author motivate the ninth-grade class to read? A. By setting a reading schedule. B. By asking students to write reading notes. C. By making students read aloud together. D. By supporting students in reading freely without schedule. 【答案】24. C 25. D 26. C 27. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，作者以自身经历为线索，讲述了自己与阅读的不解之缘以及在不同阶段对阅读的感受和推动阅读的做法。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“I don’t remember much else about that day in 1974 at the Hills School in Dix Hills, but when I realized that sounding out letters on a page allowed me to read an entire story, I was attracted(1974年，在迪克斯山的希尔斯学校，我不记得那天的其他事情了，但当我意识到在一页纸上读出字母可以让我读完整个故事时，我被吸引了)”可知，作者第一次觉得阅读有吸引力是因为发现拼读页面上的字母能让自己读懂整个故事。故选C项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“At junior high school, English became my favorite class. I have vivid memories of Mrs Ayers reading The Cask of the Amontillado aloud as my eighth-grade classmates and I sat fascinated by her deep and emotional voice. In following English classes, my teachers assigned demanding books such as The Stranger, A Tale of Two Cities and complex research papers. For the first time, I felt book-related anxiety.(初中时，英语成了我最喜欢的课。我还清楚地记得艾尔斯夫人大声朗读《阿蒙蒂拉多酒桶》的情景，当时我和八年级的同学坐在那里，被她深沉而充满感情的声音迷住了。在接下来的英语课上，我的老师布置了要求很高的书，比如《陌生人》、《双城记》和复杂的研究论文。我第一次感受到与书有关的焦虑。)”可知，作者在初中时，面对老师布置的高难度书籍和复杂的研究论文，开始对一些阅读任务感到有压力。故选D项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“As a new English teacher in Manhattan, I stressed the importance of immersive reading. Annotations (注释), I felt, broke the drive. ‘Sustained silent reading’, during which students spent entire periods reading, was essential to my curriculum(作为曼哈顿的一名新英语老师，我强调沉浸式阅读的重要性。我觉得注解破坏了我的动力。“持续默读”，也就是让学生花整节课的时间来阅读，是我的课程中必不可少的一部分)”可知，作者在教学中强调沉浸式阅读，认为注释会打断阅读节奏，“持续默读”很重要，即不间断的阅读。故选C项。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“Today, as a librarian at Manhasset High School, I promote reading with enthusiasm. In a recent ninth-grade class, I created a “reading workout”. Students sampled books spread across tables and read with no schedule. I'd never seen them more engaged.(今天，作为曼哈塞特高中的一名图书管理员，我热情地提倡阅读。在最近一次九年级的课堂上，我设计了一个“阅读练习”。学生们把书摊在桌子上，没有时间表地阅读。我从未见过他们如此投入。)”可知，作者通过让九年级学生自由选书、无时间限制地阅读来激发他们的阅读兴趣。故选D项。 C Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have led to significant breakthroughs in translation technologies. AI translation is useful in some situations. For example, helping teachers communicate with parents who speak a different language, or when travelling. Translation technology may even help protect endangered languages from disappearing by supporting online collections of literature. With AI-powered technology in these digital libraries, more people can appreciate these works. But while technology can translate messages, it misses an important part of human communication — the cultural nuances (细微差别) behind the words. So, while AI translation can bridge language gaps and make communication easier, it’s important to be clear about the benefits and challenges it presents. Relying only on technology to translate between languages will finally lead to misunderstandings and a less rich human experience. The new technology also comes with limitations. In 2019, workers at an immigration (移民) center in the United States used AI translation to deal with an asylum (庇护) case. The voice tool could not understand the applicant’s accent, and the person was kept there for six months without being able to explain clearly. In 2021, a police officer used Google Translate to ask a Spanish-speaking woman if he could search her car. The app chose a wrong word, which caused confusion. Learning additional languages also stands out as one of the best ways to improve ourselves, with benefits for brain health, social skills, cultural understanding, and career opportunities. A study in 2022 found that people who speak more than one language have quicker minds and may delay brain aging. It also showed that learning several languages helps people respect and understand each other better. While AI-powered translation technology has its uses, a great deal can be lost if we rely only on it to communicate. The nuances of languages, and what they say about different cultures, are difficult to communicate via translation tools. And the benefits of being bilingual (双语的) or multilingual — both personally and for the wider society — risk being lost if we don’t support second language learning. 28. What does paragraph 1 stress about AI translation? A. Its literary value. B. Its advanced tools. C. Its future development. D. Its practical applications. 29. What can be inferred about AI translation from the examples in paragraph 3? A. It takes little time to be reliable in daily life. B. It can make serious errors in important cases. C. It works better with written texts than speech. D. It will replace human translators sooner or later. 30 Why is the 2022 study mentioned in the text? A. To support a point. B. To stress a problem. C. To introduce a topic. D. To question a belief. 31. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. AI Translation: The Technology Develops Fast B. Relying on Technology: The Costs Are Unseen C. AI Era: Why We Still Need Language Learning D. Language Education: How AI Changes the Way We Learn 【答案】28. D 29. B 30. A 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要探讨人工智能翻译的应用、局限及仍需重视语言学习的原因。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“AI translation is useful in some situations. For example, helping teachers communicate with parents who speak a different language, or when travelling. Translation technology may even help protect endangered languages from disappearing by supporting online collections of literature.(人工智能翻译在一些情况下很有用。例如，帮助教师与说不同语言的家长沟通，或者在旅行时使用。翻译技术甚至可以通过支持在线文献收藏，帮助保护濒危语言免于消失)” 可知，第一段通过列举不同场景的用法，强调了人工智能翻译的实际应用价值。故选D项。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“In 2019, workers at an immigration center in the United States used AI translation to deal with an asylum case. The voice tool could not understand the applicant’s accent, and the person was kept there for six months without being able to explain clearly. In 2021, a police officer used Google Translate to ask a Spanish-speaking woman if he could search her car. The app chose a wrong word, which caused confusion.(2019年，美国一家移民中心的工作人员使用人工智能翻译处理一桩庇护案件。这个语音工具无法听懂申请人的口音，导致此人被滞留了六个月，却无法清晰地说明情况。2021年，一名警察使用谷歌翻译询问一名说西班牙语的女子是否可以搜查她的车。该应用程序选错了一个单词，引发了混乱)”可知，这两个例子均体现出人工智能翻译在重要场合中会出现严重失误，造成不良后果。故选B项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Learning additional languages also stands out as one of the best ways to improve ourselves, with benefits for brain health, social skills, cultural understanding, and career opportunities. A study in 2022 found that people who speak more than one language have quicker minds and may delay brain aging.(学习额外的语言也是提升自我的最佳方式之一，对大脑健康、社交技能、文化理解和职业机会都有好处。2022年的一项研究发现，会说多种语言的人思维更敏捷，且可能延缓大脑衰老)”可知，2022年的研究是为了支撑“学习额外语言能提升自我”这一观点。故选A项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，尤其是最后一段“ While AI-powered translation technology has its uses, a great deal can be lost if we rely only on it to communicate. The nuances of languages, and what they say about different cultures, are difficult to communicate via translation tools. And the benefits of being bilingual (双语的) or multilingual — both personally and for the wider society — risk being lost if we don’t support second language learning.(虽然人工智能翻译技术有其用途，但如果我们只依靠它来交流，就会失去很多东西。语言的细微差别，以及它们所表达的不同文化，很难通过翻译工具进行交流。如果我们不支持第二语言学习，双语或多语的好处——无论是对个人还是对更广泛的社会——都有可能失去)”可知，本文核心论点是在人工智能翻译时代，我们依然需要重视语言学习。因此C项“人工智能时代：为什么我们仍然需要语言学习”可以作为本文标题。故选C项。 D In modern society, many people are slacking off while working. But according to a new study, engaging your brain actively at work can benefit you in more ways than just advancing your career — it may also safeguard your cognitive abilities and help prevent dementia as you get older. The significant study, published in Neurology, analyzed health and occupational data on 7,000 Norwegians who were followed from their 30s until they retired in their 60s. “Many other studies on this topic have only looked at the most recent jobs that people have,” said lead author Dr. Trine Edwin, a researcher at University of Oslo, “but due to the national database we have in Norway, we were able to follow people over much of their lifetimes.” To do the analysis, Edwin categorized the cognitive demands of 305 occupations in Norway. More cognitively demanding jobs were not based on routine tasks, even though repetition was required at times. “There were lawyers, doctors, accountants, and people in public service in this group, but the most common occupation was teaching,” Edwin said, “as effective communication outside of the classroom and school matters. It always depends on teachers’ understandings of students’ different situations and teachers’ empathy.” Having a routine job with little mental stimulation during your 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s is linked to a 66% higher risk of mild cognitive impairment and a 37% greater risk of dementia after the age of 70, when compared with having an occupation — that requires more complex thinking. “The occupational environment is vital in promoting cognitive well-being.” said Edwin. “Similarly, just like we can use physical exercise to grow and maintain our muscles, exercising our brain through more challenging work assignments seems to help fight dementia.” “While I’d guess that people at risk for dementia would be well served by taking advantage of professional advancement opportunities, learning new job tasks, and refining their skills at work over a period of time, further studies will need to clarify which specific activities have the most brain healthy benefits,” Edwin added. 32. What does the underlined phrase “slacking off” in Paragraph 1 mean? A. working hard B. taking breaks C. showing laziness D. focusing fully 33. Why is Edwin’s research remarkable? A. Because it focused on emerging industries. B. Because it drew inspiration from past studies. C. Because it tracked the subjects for a long term. D. Because it studied Norwegians of a certain age. 34. What makes teaching a cognitively demanding job? A. The emotional labor it involves. B. The number of students and parents. C. The complete lack of repetitive tasks. D. The harmonious relationship it creates. 35. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A. Activities that can refine people’s skills at work. B. A recommendation for the future research direction. C. Tips for people who want professional advancement. D. Job tasks that can provide new learning opportunities. 【答案】32. C 33. C 34. A 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了工作中积极动脑对认知能力的益处及研究成果。 【32题详解】 词句猜测题。由文章第一段中“In modern society, many people are slacking off while working. But according to a new study, engaging your brain actively at work can benefit you in more ways than just advancing your career — it may also safeguard your cognitive abilities and help prevent dementia as you get older. (在现代社会，许多人工作时slacking off。但一项新研究表明，在工作中积极运用大脑，其益处不止于推动职业发展，随着年龄增长，它或许还能保护认知能力，助力预防痴呆)”可知，后文描述根据一项新的研究，在工作中积极使用你的大脑可以给你带来比仅仅提升职业生涯更多的好处。此处与后文形成转折，所以slacking off应表示与“积极使用大脑”相反的意思，即“消极怠工，表现出懒惰”，与showing laziness“表现出懒惰”意思相符。故选C。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第二段中““The significant study, published in Neurology, analyzed health and occupational data on 7,000 Norwegians who were followed from their 30s until they retired in their 60s. “Many other studies on this topic have only looked at the most recent jobs that people have,” said lead author Dr. Trine Edwin, a researcher at University of Oslo, “but due to the national database we have in Norway, we were able to follow people over much of their lifetimes.” (这项发表在《神经病学》杂志上的重要研究，分析了7000名挪威人的健康和职业数据，从他们30多岁开始追踪，一直到60多岁退休。该研究的主要作者、奥斯陆大学的研究员Trine Edwin博士表示：“许多关于这个主题的其他研究，仅仅关注人们近期从事的工作。但由于挪威有全国性数据库，我们得以追踪人们一生中大部分时间的情况。”)”可知，Edwin的研究之所以引人注目，是因为它长期追踪研究对象。故选C。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第三段中“More cognitively demanding jobs were not based on routine tasks, even though repetition was required at times. “There were lawyers, doctors, accountants, and people in public service in this group, but the most common occupation was teaching,” Edwin said, “as effective communication outside of the classroom and school matters. It always depends on teachers’ understandings of students’ different situations and teachers’ empathy.” (认知要求较高的工作并非基于常规任务，即便有时需要重复操作。埃德温说：“这类工作中有律师、医生、会计以及从事公共服务的人员，但最常见的职业是教师。因为课堂之外以及校园事务中的有效沟通，始终依赖教师对学生不同情况的理解和同理心。”)”可知，教学取决于教师对学生不同情况的理解和教师的同情，即教学是一项涉及情感劳动的工作，这让教学成为一项对认知要求很高的工。故选A。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。由文章最后一段““While I’d guess that people at risk for dementia would be well served by taking advantage of professional advancement opportunities, learning new job tasks, and refining their skills at work over a period of time, further studies will need to clarify which specific activities have the most brain healthy benefits,” Edwin added. (Edwin补充道：“虽然我认为，那些有患痴呆风险的人若能利用职业晋升机会、学习新的工作任务，并在一段时间内提升工作技能，会大有裨益，但还需要进一步研究来明确哪些具体活动对大脑健康最有益处。”)”可知，最后一段主要讲述了对未来研究方向的建议。故选B。 第二节 七选五(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Volunteering is a great benefit to the community.

You may be likely to just volunteer at one place, and that can be fine.____36____Doing so can help you explore what you’d like to do later in life if you’re younger or even choose a different career if you’re a little bit older. ●Use it to build skills. Volunteering is the perfect opportunity to build your own skill set.____37____You’re basically working a job, and through that job, you gain experience that you can pass on to your work life. ●Network while you volunteer. Another way to help work on your career is to use volunteering to help network. Really, you don’t have to go out of your way to network.____38____All networking is making a connection with other people that you and they can rely on later, and volunteering can help you do that. ●____39____ Studies have shown that people who volunteer are more likely to be hired than people who don’t volunteer. In fact, you have about a 25 percent higher chance of being hired if you volunteer than if you don’t. If you don’t have a high school diploma (毕业文凭), that number increases to a 50 percent higher chance. ●Put your volunteer experience on your college application. If you’re still in high school, volunteering looks great on a college application. It shows leadership, initiative (主动性), and commitment, all things colleges love.____40____ A.

In fact, you have about a 25 percent higher chance of being hired if you volunteer than if you don’t. If you don’t have a high school diploma(毕业文凭), that number increases to a 50 percent higher chance .(研究表明，志愿工作者比不志愿工作者更有可能被雇佣。事实上，如果你做志愿者，你被录用的几率比不做志愿者高出25%。如果你没有高中文凭，这个数字会增加50%)”可知，此空选小标题，结合本段的内容和选项来看，B选项“增加你被录用的机会。”切题，故选B项。 【40题详解】 由小标题“Put your volunteer experience on your college application. (把你的志愿者经历写在你的大学申请表上)”和上文“If you’re still in high school, volunteering looks great on a college application. It shows leadership, initiative (主动性), and commitment, all things colleges love. (如果你还在高中，志愿工作在大学申请中看起来很不错。它显示了领导能力、主动性和承诺，所有这些都是大学喜欢的)”可知，作者建议把志愿者经历写在你的大学申请表上，承接上文，D选项“只要确保在申请时将其包含在申请表中即可。”中的“on your application”和小标题呼应，故选D项。 第三部分：英语知识运用(共两节;满分30分) 第一节：完形填空(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)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。 While boarding the plane, I felt an excitement rise in me.

Every night, she practiced lines in front of her bedroom mirror, perfecting graceful moves like the actresses in her favorite movies. When her middle school announced The Twelve Dancing Princesses, she spent weeks preparing — even borrowing her sister Diana’s ballet shoes, though they pinched (挤痛) her feet. “Pain is part of the art,” she told herself, imagining the strict drama teacher Mr. Ellison nodding in approval. But on casting day, her name was nowhere on the list. Mr. Ellison offered her a job on the stage crew (工作人员) instead. “You’ll learn how theater really works,” he said. Penny forced a smile, hiding her disappointment. Backstage life was quieter than she expected. Penny wore all black, disappearing into the shadows during rehearsals (排练). Sometimes, she mouthed the princesses’ lines silently, her hands tracing an imaginary crown. Opening night arrived as scheduled, but the lead actress got injured minutes before the curtain. Mr. Ellison scanned the crew, searching for someone who could step in. Here came an opportunity! Penny’s hand shot up. “I know the lines!” she said. He hesitated but handed her the princess’s dress. Unfortunately, the performance was a disaster. She stumbled over dances, mixed up scenes, and tripped up a prince. The audience’s laughter echoed in her ears. Afterward, she ran to her room, sobbing. Her sister Diana found her curled under the blankets. “Come,” she said, leading Penny to the roof. The night sky stretched endlessly. “Some stars can’t be seen now,” Diana murmured, “but their light is already traveling. It just takes time to reach us.” Penny wiped her tears. “What if my light never comes?” Diana squeezed her hands. “It will. You just have to keep trying.” Weeks later, Penny saw a poster for a new play: A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Auditions (试镜) were open and she was familiar with the character Helena. That night, Penny climbed to the roof alone. A single star flickered weakly. She traced its light with her finger, her sister’s words ringing in her ears. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Para. 1: “Why not try one more time?” Penny said to herself. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para. 2: On opening night, Penny stood behind the curtain. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Para. 1: “Why not try one more time?” Penny said to herself. As she thought of the audition, her heart beat faster — not with sadness, but with a slim hope, like a distant star shining. She picked up the script, held her head high, and started to practice. Each night, she practiced lines in front of the mirror, shaping Helena’s love and pain into every word. The ballet shoes that once pinched her now guided steady steps. When she forgot the lines, she paused, smiled and restarted — no tears, just determination. At the audition, her voice rang clearly, each emotion true. Mr. Ellison’s surprised nod said it all, “You’ve got the part.” Penny’s heart fluttered, a tiny star reigniting. Para. 2: On opening night, Penny stood behind the curtain. When the faint murmur of the audience reached her ears, her fingers unconsciously twisted the folds of her costume. Taking a deep breath, she tried to calm down. As the curtain rose, Penny closed her eyes, remembering Diana’s warm hands, the rooftop stars, and all those nights of practice. When she opened them, stage lights embraced her like old friends. Her movements flowed with grace and confidence. In the front row sat Diana smiling through proud tears. Standing there, bathed in cheers, Penny finally understood what Diana meant. Stars keep shining through the dark, no matter how long it takes. Every backstage hour, every stumble and every retry led to this moment. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Penny热爱表演却落选公主角色，在经历试镜失败后感觉沮丧，在姐姐的鼓励下重拾信心，决定再次尝试，准备参加新剧试镜的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容““为什么不再试一次呢？”Penny自言自语道。”可知，第一段可描写Penny决定再次尝试，她开始积极准备试镜，最终成功获得了角色。 ②由第二段首句内容“首映之夜，Penny站在窗帘后面。”可知，第二段可描写Penny在演出当晚的表现，她克服了紧张，自信地完成了表演，并理解了姐姐的话。 2.续写线索：决定再次尝试——积极准备试镜——成功获得角色——演出当晚紧张——回忆姐姐的话——自信完成表演——理解姐姐的话 3.词汇激活 行为类： ①练习台词：practiced lines/rehearsed the lines ②深呼吸：took a deep breath/breathed deeply ③拥抱：embraced/hugged 情绪类： ①惊讶的：surprised/astonished ②决心：determination/resolve 【点睛】【高分句型1】The ballet shoes that once pinched her now guided steady steps.(运用了that引导的定语从句) 【高分句型2】When she forgot the lines, she paused, smiled and restarted — no tears, just determination. (运用了When引导的状语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $英语听力模拟试题30第1节，听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3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，每段对话读两遍。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。Can you have my computer fixed? jake?

Why? Simply because it’s one of the top winter destinations in Europe. Sitting in northern Finland, Rovaniemi is the gateway to Finland’s famous Lapland — the home of Santa Claus. Rovaniemi is the perfect place to watch the impressive Northern Lights, go on a husky ride, or even visit an ice hotel. St. Kitts & Nevis, Caribbean If you’re looking to escape the rain, snow, and grey skies, then St. Kitts and Nevis is one of the top places to go in the winter. This dual-island nation sits between the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. It has perfect weather all year round, with temperatures of 25℃ in winter. Apart from lying on the beaches, you can also enjoy the Carnival around Christmas, sailing and diving tours, and historical tours of the islands. Cape Town, South Africa Cape Town is one of South Africa’s most picturesque destinations, with loads of exciting things to do. From visiting the 7th Wonder of Nature, Table Mountain, to surfing the waves of the city’s amazing beaches, there’s something for everyone. Cape Town is only a short drive away from the iconic (标志性的) Cape Winelands, where you can enjoy vineyard and winery tours with wine tasting and food pairings. Lanzarote, Spain With interesting rock formations, volcanoes, and amazing blue waters, Lanzarote is a top choice for many travellers running away from cold European winters. Lanzarote is the most eastern of the Canary Islands. Expect to find black and red earth, white and golden sand beaches and rolling mountains. The average weather stays around the 20℃ mark, so you can enjoy the sunshine without worrying too much about sunburn. 21. Which country is the best place to see the Northern Lights located in? A. Finland. B. Caribbean. C. South Africa. D. Spain. 22. Where will you go if you want to appreciate wine? A. Rovaniemi. B. St. Kitts & Nevis. C. Cape Town. D. Lanzarote. 23. Which is probably the best place to visit for those interested in stones? A. Rovaniemi. B. Cape Town. C. St. Kitts & Nevis. D. Lanzarote. B As I walked toward my kindergarten teacher’s desk, I felt excited. Mrs Stuchio pulled out the little plastic chair and told me to sit. I placed my workbook on the table and began. “A pig can jig,” I recited. “Excellent,” she said. “Go on.” As I read the words and looked at the pigs, I felt strong, smart... happy. I don’t remember much else about that day in 1974 at the Hills School in Dix Hills, but when I realized that sounding out letters on a page allowed me to read an entire story, I was attracted. When I was old enough to read chapter books, I couldn’t get enough of them, like Harriet the Spy, All-of-A-Kind Family, etc. Then I graduated to Danielle Steel and Sidney Sheldon. Back then, the “young adult” type didn’t exist; I went straight from family breakfast scenes to love stories, like Evergreen by Belva Plain. At junior high school, English became my favorite class. I have vivid memories of Mrs Ayers reading The Cask of the Amontillado aloud as my eighth-grade classmates and I sat fascinated by her deep and emotional voice. In following English classes, my teachers assigned demanding books such as The Stranger, A Tale of Two Cities and complex research papers. For the first time, I felt book-related anxiety. After getting my college degree in English and working at seventeen magazines, books called again: I left to get my teaching certification. As a new English teacher in Manhattan, I stressed the importance of immersive reading. Annotations (注释), I felt, broke the drive. “Sustained silent reading”, during which students spent entire periods reading, was essential to my curriculum. Today, as a librarian at Manhasset High School, I promote reading with enthusiasm. In a recent ninth-grade class, I created a “reading workout”. Students sampled books spread across tables and read with no schedule. I’d never seen them more engaged. For now, I’ll keep getting lost in reading and use my platform as a librarian to share my passion. 24. What made the author first find reading attractive? A. Reading chapter books. B. Discussing young adult books. C. Sounding out letters on a page. D. Engaging with romance stories. 25. What can we learn about the author in junior high school? A. She found English classes boring. B. She preferred reading demanding books. C. She was attracted by family breakfast scenes in books. D. She started to feel stressed about some reading tasks. 26 What did the author emphasize in reading during her teaching? A. Group reading. B. Critical reading. C. Uninterrupted reading. D. Relaxing reading. 27. How did the author motivate the ninth-grade class to read? A. By setting a reading schedule. B. By asking students to write reading notes. C. By making students read aloud together. D. By supporting students in reading freely without schedule. C Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have led to significant breakthroughs in translation technologies. AI translation is useful in some situations. For example, helping teachers communicate with parents who speak a different language, or when travelling. Translation technology may even help protect endangered languages from disappearing by supporting online collections of literature. With AI-powered technology in these digital libraries, more people can appreciate these works. But while technology can translate messages, it misses an important part of human communication — the cultural nuances (细微差别) behind the words. So, while AI translation can bridge language gaps and make communication easier, it’s important to be clear about the benefits and challenges it presents. Relying only on technology to translate between languages will finally lead to misunderstandings and a less rich human experience. The new technology also comes with limitations. In 2019, workers at an immigration (移民) center in the United States used AI translation to deal with an asylum (庇护) case. The voice tool could not understand the applicant’s accent, and the person was kept there for six months without being able to explain clearly. In 2021, a police officer used Google Translate to ask a Spanish-speaking woman if he could search her car. The app chose a wrong word, which caused confusion. Learning additional languages also stands out as one of the best ways to improve ourselves, with benefits for brain health, social skills, cultural understanding, and career opportunities. A study in 2022 found that people who speak more than one language have quicker minds and may delay brain aging. It also showed that learning several languages helps people respect and understand each other better. While AI-powered translation technology has its uses, a great deal can be lost if we rely only on it to communicate. The nuances of languages, and what they say about different cultures, are difficult to communicate via translation tools. And the benefits of being bilingual (双语的) or multilingual — both personally and for the wider society — risk being lost if we don’t support second language learning. 28. What does paragraph 1 stress about AI translation? A. Its literary value. B. Its advanced tools. C. Its future development. D. Its practical applications. 29. What can be inferred about AI translation from the examples in paragraph 3? A. It takes little time to be reliable in daily life. B. It can make serious errors in important cases. C. It works better with written texts than speech. D. It will replace human translators sooner or later. 30. Why is the 2022 study mentioned in the text? A To support a point. B. To stress a problem. C. To introduce a topic. D. To question a belief. 31. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. AI Translation: The Technology Develops Fast B. Relying on Technology: The Costs Are Unseen C. AI Era: Why We Still Need Language Learning D. Language Education: How AI Changes the Way We Learn D In modern society, many people are slacking off while working. But according to a new study, engaging your brain actively at work can benefit you in more ways than just advancing your career — it may also safeguard your cognitive abilities and help prevent dementia as you get older. The significant study, published in Neurology, analyzed health and occupational data on 7,000 Norwegians who were followed from their 30s until they retired in their 60s. “Many other studies on this topic have only looked at the most recent jobs that people have,” said lead author Dr. Trine Edwin, a researcher at University of Oslo, “but due to the national database we have in Norway, we were able to follow people over much of their lifetimes.” To do the analysis, Edwin categorized the cognitive demands of 305 occupations in Norway. More cognitively demanding jobs were not based on routine tasks, even though repetition was required at times. “There were lawyers, doctors, accountants, and people in public service in this group, but the most common occupation was teaching,” Edwin said, “as effective communication outside of the classroom and school matters. It always depends on teachers’ understandings of students’ different situations and teachers’ empathy.” Having a routine job with little mental stimulation during your 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s is linked to a 66% higher risk of mild cognitive impairment and a 37% greater risk of dementia after the age of 70, when compared with having an occupation — that requires more complex thinking. “The occupational environment is vital in promoting cognitive well-being.” said Edwin. “Similarly, just like we can use physical exercise to grow and maintain our muscles, exercising our brain through more challenging work assignments seems to help fight dementia.” “While I’d guess that people at risk for dementia would be well served by taking advantage of professional advancement opportunities, learning new job tasks, and refining their skills at work over a period of time, further studies will need to clarify which specific activities have the most brain healthy benefits,” Edwin added. 32. What does the underlined phrase “slacking off” in Paragraph 1 mean? A. working hard B. taking breaks C. showing laziness D. focusing fully 33. Why is Edwin’s research remarkable? A. Because it focused on emerging industries. B. Because it drew inspiration from past studies. C. Because it tracked the subjects for a long term. D. Because it studied Norwegians of a certain age. 34. What makes teaching a cognitively demanding job? A. The emotional labor it involves. B. The number of students and parents. C. The complete lack of repetitive tasks. D The harmonious relationship it creates. 35. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A. Activities that can refine people’s skills at work. B. A recommendation for the future research direction. C. Tips for people who want professional advancement. D. Job tasks that can provide new learning opportunities. 第二节 七选五(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Volunteering is a great benefit to the community.

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