To try to get his peers to do the same, the youngster came up with the innovative idea of an eco-bank, which allows kids of all ages to become economically independent and financially smart—while also helping the environment. Established in 2012, The Bartselana Student Bank is the world’s first cooperative bank for kids. Prospective members have to bring in at least 5 kilograms of solid waste and establish a savings goal. Once accepted, all bank “partners” are required to deposit (存) at least one additional kilogram of recyclables on a monthly basis and follow other requirements, such as attending financial education and environmental management workshops. The waste collected is sold to local recycling companies, who, thanks to some clever negotiation by Jose, pay a higher-than-market rate for everything brought in by The Bartselana Student Bank members. The funds received are placed in the individual’s account, where they collect until his/her savings goal is reached. The account holder can then withdraw his/her money, or choose to leave it and continue to grow for a bigger target. “At the beginning, some thought I was crazy or that a child could not undertake this type of project,” Jose recalls. “Luckily, I had the support of the school principal and an assistant in my classroom.” The youngster’s persistence paid off. Today, the eco-bank, which now has the support of several local institutions, boasts ten educational centers. They are designed to teach the over 3,000 clients, aged 10-18, to become economically independent, invest wisely, and help the environment. Hopefully, Jose’s initiative and success will inspire more kids and adults to come up with innovative ideas that create value while helping the environment. As the enterprising teenager says, “Together we can change the world, and we just need an opportunity.” 4. Why did Jose start The Bartselana Student Bank? A. To prove children can run a business. B. To contribute to the solid waste recycling. C. To advocate for money management awareness. D. To promote financial and environmental responsibility. 5. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. A novel way to recycle solid waste. B. Benefits of joining the student bank. C. The bank’s establishment and history. D. Membership requirements for the bank. 6. How does Jose’s eco-bank help its members get more money for their waste? A. By getting donations from local institutions. B. By partnering with environmental workshops. C. By bargaining for better prices with recyclers. D. By storing the waste and waiting for higher prices. 7. Which of the following best describes Jose? A. Innovative and visionary. B. Curious and lucky. C. Independent and humorous. D. Ambitious and adventurous. 【答案】4. D 5. D 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述巴特塞拉纳学生银行成立于2012年，是世界上第一家儿童银行。为了开户，孩子们必须携带至少5公斤的固体废物(纸或塑料)，并设定一个储蓄目标。回收的垃圾被卖给当地的回收公司，多亏了Jose，这些公司为巴塞拉纳学生银行成员带来的所有东西支付高于市场的价格。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“To try to get his peers to do the same, the youngster came up with the innovative idea of an eco-bank, which allows kids of all ages to become economically independent and financially smart—while also helping the environment.(为了让同龄人也这么做，这个年轻人想出了一个创新的主意——建立一家生态银行，让各个年龄段的孩子在经济上独立，在财务上变得聪明，同时也帮助环境。)”可知，Jose创办生态银行的目的是让孩子们帮助环境和变得经济独立，也就是提升经济和环境责任心。故选D项。 【5题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“Established in 2012, The Bartselana Student Bank is the world’s first cooperative bank for kids.

The Socratic Method, named after Socrates himself, is a form of cooperative dialogue where one person asks a series of open-ended questions to guide another person i toward insight and understanding. For example, imagine a teacher discussing ethics with students. Instead of explaining what is “right” or “wrong” the teacher might ask, “What does it mean to act ethically?” and follow up with questions like, “Why do we consider some actions fair and others unfair?” Through this questioning, students are led to think more critically and examine their own values and assumption rather than just accepting predetermined answers. The Socratic Method is a powerful tool for self- examination. When you ask yourself, for instance, “Why do you believe this?” or “What evidence supports your thinking?”, you are encouraged to look inward, reflect on your reasoning, and consider whether your beliefs are truly your own or influenced by external. factors. This process of questioning leads to self-reflection, helping individuals better understand the underlying motivations behind their thoughts and actions. Self- reflection is like hitting the pause button on life, which gives you a moment to step back and look closely at your own thoughts , feelings and experiences. An unexamined life, however, is one where people go through the motions without ever questioning the underlying beliefs, values, or motivations that drive their actions. Living an unexamined life is similar to coasting on automatic pilot, where one simply accepts societal standards without critically evaluating them. In this kind of life, you’re swept along by society’s expectations, barely aware of your own desires, as if you’re living in someone else’s script without ever writing your own. 8. What does Socrates’ statement mainly convey in paragraph 1? A. Philosophy helps people achieve self- awareness. B. Personal growth and wisdom require self reflection. C. Wisdom comes from careful examination of the world. D. True wisdom can only be found through external approval. 9. What is the main process of the Socratic Method? A. Using a fixed set of questions to start discussions. B. Engaging in dialogue to find answers to certain issues. C. Presenting arguments to challenge previous assumptions. D Asking thoughtful questions to encourage self-discovery. 10. How is the importance of self-reflection presented in the last paragraph? A. By making comparisons. B. By using logical questioning. C. Through concrete examples. D. Through well-known statements. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Applying Greek philosophical principles in life. B. Learning critical thinking through historical texts. C. Exploring yourself through thoughtful questioning. D. Understanding ethics and morality through dialogue. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了苏格拉底名言所传达的自我反思对个人成长和智慧的重要性，阐述了以其命名的苏格拉底方法通过提问引导自我发现，还通过对比呈现了自我反思在生活中的重要意义，鼓励人们通过深思熟虑的提问探索自我。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Socrates, the renowned ancient Greek philosopher, famously stated, “The unexamined life is not worth living.” This powerful declaration serves as a call to research deeper into one’s own thoughts, through which he believed true wisdom and personal growth could only be achieved.(古希腊著名哲学家苏格拉底有句名言：“浑浑噩噩的生活不值得过。”这句有力的宣言呼吁人们更深入地探究自己的思想，他认为只有通过这种方式才能实现真正的智慧和个人成长)” 可知，苏格拉底的话主要传达了个人成长和智慧需要自我反思。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The Socratic Method, named after Socrates himself, is a form of cooperative dialogue where one person asks a series of open - ended questions to guide another person toward insight and understanding.(以苏格拉底本人命名的苏格拉底方法是一种合作式对话形式，其中一个人提出一系列开放式问题，引导另一个人获得洞察力和理解)” 可知，苏格拉底方法的主要过程是提出有深度的问题以鼓励自我发现。故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Self- reflection is like hitting the pause button on life, which gives you a moment to step back and look closely at your own thoughts , feelings and experiences. An unexamined life, however, is one where people go through the motions without ever questioning the underlying beliefs, values, or motivations that drive their actions.(自我反思就像是在生活中按下暂停键，它让你有片刻时间退一步，仔细审视自己的想法、感受和经历。然而，未经审视的生活，是人们机械地行事，却从不质疑驱使他们行动的潜在信念、价值观或动机)” 可知，最后一段中通过将自我反思的生活与未经审视的生活进行对比，呈现自我反思的重要性。故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题型。短文介绍了苏格拉底名言所传达的自我反思对个人成长和智慧的重要性，阐述了以其命名的苏格拉底方法通过提问引导自我发现，还通过对比呈现了自我反思在生活中的重要意义，鼓励人们通过深思熟虑的提问探索自我。选项 C “通过深思熟虑的提问探索自我” 为最佳标题，故选C。 D Vast plains of solar panels can help nature more than clean energy: As populations of crucial pollinators (虫媒) decline, developers have been seeding the grounds of their solar arrays (阵列) with native wildflowers. Now a five-year study published in Environmental Research Letters, confirms that this approach boosts the pollinators’ abundance and diversity —— with spillover benefits for surrounding farms. From 2018 through 2022, Argonne National Laboratory landscape ecologist Leroy J. Walston and his colleagues regularly visited two such arrays covering hectares (公顷) each in southern Minnesota. The scientists recorded the number and kinds of pollinators the wildflowers attracted and found populations of bees, beetles, butterflies, moths, and more had increased on-site —— even as they continued declining elsewhere in the U. S. Humans’ pesticide use, greenhouse gas emissions and habitat destruction have caused mass pollinator die-offs. Monarch butterfly numbers, for example, have decreased by 80 percent nationwide in the past two decades, and according to the Center for Biological Diversity’s 2017 report, nearly one in four native bee species is endangered and at increasing risk of extinction. Further big losses would be disastrous for ecosystems and agriculture: 75 percent of North American plant species rely on pollinators. The federal government’s energy goals require several million hectares for solar energy, with more than 80 percent of the projects planned for former agricultural land; seeding it this way could help save endangered pollinators. During their study, Walston and his team watched goldenrod soldier beetles boom as their namesake flower, goldenrod bloomed around the arrays. As other flowers bloomed,a symphony of insects appeared. Native bees saw the most stunning growth, with their population increasing 20 times by the study’s end. Monarch butterflies also increased in number and fluttered their dotted wings across the sites. Twice as many bees visited soybean fields close to the solar sites as fields farther away, making the nearby plots’ gains comparable to those of neighboring land enrolled in conservation programs. The approach’s efficacy in other parts of the country— such as the desert Southwest — remains to be seen. Nevertheless, as Walston says, at least in the Midwest, “if you plant it, yeah, they’ll come.” 12. What does the 5-year study focus on? A. The number of pollinators. B. The influence of solar panels on insects. C. The effect of wildflower seeding project. D. The exploitation of alternative clean energy. 13. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. Native bee species are in danger of dying out. B. Pollinator populations are decreasing at an alarming rate. C. Northern American agriculture falls victim to solar panels. D. The government is taking measures to meet the demands for solar energy. 14. Why does the author mention goldenrod soldier beetles in paragraph 4? A. To highlight the ecological crisis. B. To illustrate a mutually beneficial relationship. C. To prove the success of conservation programs. D. To indicate the outcome the wildflower planting. 15. What does the underlined word “efficacy” in paragraph 5 most probably mean? A. Effectiveness. B. Limitation. C. Response. D. Risk. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，主要介绍了在太阳能板阵列中种植本土野花对传粉昆虫的积极影响。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Now a five-year study published in Environmental Research Letters, confirms that this approach boosts the pollinators’ abundance and diversity —— with spillover benefits for surrounding farms.(现在，发表在《环境研究快报》上的一项为期五年的研究证实，这种方法增加了授粉媒介的数量和多样性——对周围农场也有溢出效益。)”可知，这个五年研究关注野花播种项目的效果。故选C。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“Humans’ pesticide use, greenhouse gas emissions and habitat destruction have caused mass pollinator die-offs. Monarch butterfly numbers, for example, have decreased by 80 percent nationwide in the past two decades, and according to the Center for Biological Diversity’s 2017 report, nearly one in four native bee species is endangered and at increasing risk of extinction.(人类的农药使用、温室气体排放和栖息地破坏已经导致大量传粉者死亡。例如，在过去的二十年里，全美帝王蝶的数量减少了80%，根据生物多样性中心2017年的报告，近四分之一的本土蜜蜂物种濒临灭绝，灭绝风险不断增加。)”可知，第三段主要讲的是传粉者数量正以惊人的速度减少。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“During their study, Walston and his team watched goldenrod soldier beetles boom as their namesake flower, goldenrod bloomed around the arrays.(在研究期间，随着以金盏花虎甲虫命名的金盏花在阵列周围盛开，Walston和他的团队观察到金盏花虎甲虫大量繁殖)”可知，作者在第四段提到金盏花虎甲虫是为了表明野花种植的结果。故选D。 【15题详解】 词义猜测题。根据最后一段划线词上文“The approach’s (这种方法)”及下文“in other parts of the country— such as the desert Southwest — remains to be seen. Nevertheless, as Walston says, at least in the Midwest, “if you plant it, yeah, they’ll come.”(在美国其他地区，如西南部沙漠，还有待观察。尽管如此，正如沃尔斯顿所说，至少在中西部，“如果你种植它，是的，它们会来。”)”可知，此处指这种方法在其他地区是否能取得类似的效果，由此可知，画线词efficacy与Effectiveness(有效性)意思相近。故选A。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10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。 Exposure to different cultures is one of the main reasons I enjoy visiting other countries.

If you’ve ever been to the U.K., you will know the Queen’s head is on every banknote and every coin. I was living in the Quebec province of Canada last year and money there surprised me greatly. ______19______ This is because she’s also Canada’s Head of State. Images on the Canadian money are various, including former prime ministers, as well as Canadian wildlife like the beaver, caribou and polar bear. ___20___ Wartime Prime Minister Winston Churchill appears on ₤5 banknotes and writer Jane Austen ₤10 banknotes. The banknotes are also made of a material called polymer rather than paper.

Although all of the dishes ________, none of them ________ good. A. have been tasted; taste B. have been tasted; are tasted C. have tasted; taste D. have tasted; are tasted 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查动词语态和动词词性。句意：这些菜都被尝过了，但没有一样好吃。根据句意，第一个空用到的taste是及物动词，表示“尝（某物）的味道”，主语all of the dishes和taste之间是被动关系，表示“菜被尝”，结合选项所给时态和主语，可知第一个空用现在完成时的被动，也就是have been tasted，强调“已经完成的尝菜动作对现在产生的影响”；根据句意以及空后形容词good，可知第二个空taste是系动词，表示“尝起来”，后常用形容词作表语，系动词没有被动，常用来表示主语的特点或性质，再结合选项，此处直接用一般现在时态，结合主语none of后是表示复数概念的代词，谓语用复数，所以此空用taste，故选A。 37.

The president demanded that the environment problems referred to ______attention to. A. being paid B. be paid C. were paid D. paying 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查虚拟语气和被动语态。句意：总统要求提及的环境问题应得到重视。分析句子结构可知， referred to为过去分词形式作后置定语，pay在从句中作谓语，动词demand后接宾语从句需用虚拟语气，结构为(should) do，且problems与pay attention to之间为被动关系，需用被动语态 (should) be paid，should可省略。故选B项。 40.

A when B. that C. before D. since 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】考查连词及固定句型辨析。句意：那真是一个美好的夜晚。我已经好几年没有这么开心过了。A. when当……时；B.that引导从句无实义；C. before在……之前；D. since自从。分析句子结构可知，本题考查固定句型It’s + 时间段 + since...，表“自从……以来已经有多久了”，符合语境。故选D项。 第三节 单词拼写(共5小题;每小题1分，满分5分) 根据下列各句句意和空白之后的汉语提示词，在答题卡指定区域的横线上写出对应词汇的正确、完整形式，每空一词。 41.

At the same time, I went through a noodle shop, and I suddenly felt very hungry. I wished for a bowl of noodles, but I had no money! The seller saw me standing before the counter and asked, “Hey, girl, you want to have the noodles?” “Oh, yes... but I don’t have money on me...” she replied. “That’s nothing. I’ll treat you today,” said the man, “Come in.” A few minutes later the owner brought me a steaming bowl of noodles. I thanked the man and started to gobblle (狼吞虎咽) up the delicious food...then I cried silently. “What is it?” asked the man kindly. “Nothing. I am just touched by your kindness!” I said as I wiped my tears. “Even a stranger on the street gives me a bowl of noodles, while my mother, after a quarrel, chased me out of the house. She showed no care for me. She is so mean and cruel!” Hearing the words, the seller smiled “Girl, do you really think so? I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot. But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby. why were you not grateful and why did you hurt your mom? You should say sorry to your mom.“ I was really surprised after hearing that.

To try to get his peers to do the same, the youngster came up with the innovative idea of an eco-bank, which allows kids of all ages to become economically independent and financially smart—while also helping the environment. Established in 2012 The Bartselana Student Bank is the world’s first cooperative bank for kids. Prospective members have to bring in at least 5 kilograms of solid waste and establish a savings goal. Once accepted, all bank “partners” are required to deposit (存) at least one additional kilogram of recyclables on a monthly basis and follow other requirements, such as attending financial education and environmental management workshops. The waste collected is sold to local recycling companies, who, thanks to some clever negotiation by Jose, pay a higher-than-market rate for everything brought in by The Bartselana Student Bank members. The funds received are placed in the individual’s account, where they collect until his/her savings goal is reached. The account holder can then withdraw his/her money, or choose to leave it and continue to grow for a bigger target. “At the beginning, some thought I was crazy or that a child could not undertake this type of project,” Jose recalls. “Luckily, I had the support of the school principal and an assistant in my classroom.” The youngster’s persistence paid off. Today, the eco-bank, which now has the support of several local institutions, boasts ten educational centers. They are designed to teach the over 3,000 clients, aged 10-18, to become economically independent, invest wisely, and help the environment. Hopefully, Jose’s initiative and success will inspire more kids and adults to come up with innovative ideas that create value while helping the environment. As the enterprising teenager says, “Together we can change the world, and we just need an opportunity.” 4. Why did Jose start The Bartselana Student Bank? A. To prove children can run a business. B. To contribute to the solid waste recycling. C. To advocate for money management awareness. D. To promote financial and environmental responsibility. 5. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. A novel way to recycle solid waste. B. Benefits of joining the student bank. C. The bank’s establishment and history. D. Membership requirements for the bank. 6. How does Jose’s eco-bank help its members get more money for their waste? A. By getting donations from local institutions. B. By partnering with environmental workshops. C. By bargaining for better prices with recyclers. D. By storing the waste and waiting for higher prices. 7. Which of the following best describes Jose? A. Innovative and visionary. B. Curious and lucky. C. Independent and humorous. D. Ambitious and adventurous. C Socrates, the renowned ancient Greek philosopher, famously stated, “The unexamined life is not worth living.” This powerful declaration serves as a call to research deeper into one’s own thoughts, through which he believed true wisdom and personal growth could only be achieved. The Socratic Method, named after Socrates himself, is a form of cooperative dialogue where one person asks a series of open-ended questions to guide another person i toward insight and understanding. For example, imagine a teacher discussing ethics with students. Instead of explaining what is “right” or “wrong” the teacher might ask, “What does it mean to act ethically?” and follow up with questions like, “Why do we consider some actions fair and others unfair?” Through this questioning, students are led to think more critically and examine their own values and assumption rather than just accepting predetermined answers. The Socratic Method is a powerful tool for self- examination. When you ask yourself, for instance, “Why do you believe this?” or “What evidence supports your thinking?”, you are encouraged to look inward, reflect on your reasoning, and consider whether your beliefs are truly your own or influenced by external. factors. This process of questioning leads to self-reflection, helping individuals better understand the underlying motivations behind their thoughts and actions. Self- reflection is like hitting the pause button on life, which gives you a moment to step back and look closely at your own thoughts , feelings and experiences. An unexamined life, however, is one where people go through the motions without ever questioning the underlying beliefs, values, or motivations that drive their actions. Living an unexamined life is similar to coasting on automatic pilot, where one simply accepts societal standards without critically evaluating them. In this kind of life, you’re swept along by society’s expectations, barely aware of your own desires, as if you’re living in someone else’s script without ever writing your own. 8. What does Socrates’ statement mainly convey in paragraph 1? A. Philosophy helps people achieve self- awareness. B. Personal growth and wisdom require self reflection. C. Wisdom comes from careful examination of the world. D. True wisdom can only be found through external approval. 9. What is the main process of the Socratic Method? A. Using a fixed set of questions to start discussions. B. Engaging in dialogue to find answers to certain issues. C. Presenting arguments to challenge previous assumptions. D. Asking thoughtful questions to encourage self-discovery. 10. How is the importance of self-reflection presented in the last paragraph? A. By making comparisons. B. By using logical questioning. C. Through concrete examples. D. Through well-known statements. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Applying Greek philosophical principles in life. B. Learning critical thinking through historical texts. C. Exploring yourself through thoughtful questioning. D. Understanding ethics and morality through dialogue. D Vast plains of solar panels can help nature more than clean energy: As populations of crucial pollinators (虫媒) decline, developers have been seeding the grounds of their solar arrays (阵列) with native wildflowers. Now a five-year study published in Environmental Research Letters, confirms that this approach boosts the pollinators’ abundance and diversity —— with spillover benefits for surrounding farms. From 2018 through 2022 Argonne National Laboratory landscape ecologist Leroy J. Walston and his colleagues regularly visited two such arrays covering hectares (公顷) each in southern Minnesota. The scientists recorded the number and kinds of pollinators the wildflowers attracted and found populations of bees, beetles, butterflies, moths, and more had increased on-site —— even as they continued declining elsewhere in the U. S. Humans’ pesticide use, greenhouse gas emissions and habitat destruction have caused mass pollinator die-offs. Monarch butterfly numbers, for example, have decreased by 80 percent nationwide in the past two decades, and according to the Center for Biological Diversity’s 2017 report, nearly one in four native bee species is endangered and at increasing risk of extinction. Further big losses would be disastrous for ecosystems and agriculture: 75 percent of North American plant species rely on pollinators. The federal government’s energy goals require several million hectares for solar energy, with more than 80 percent of the projects planned for former agricultural land; seeding it this way could help save endangered pollinators. During their study, Walston and his team watched goldenrod soldier beetles boom as their namesake flower, goldenrod bloomed around the arrays. As other flowers bloomed,a symphony of insects appeared. Native bees saw the most stunning growth, with their population increasing 20 times by the study’s end. Monarch butterflies also increased in number and fluttered their dotted wings across the sites. Twice as many bees visited soybean fields close to the solar sites as fields farther away, making the nearby plots’ gains comparable to those of neighboring land enrolled in conservation programs. The approach’s efficacy in other parts of the country— such as the desert Southwest — remains to be seen. Nevertheless as Walston says, at least in the Midwest, “if you plant it, yeah, they’ll come.” 12. What does the 5-year study focus on? A. The number of pollinators. B. The influence of solar panels on insects. C. The effect of wildflower seeding project. D. The exploitation of alternative clean energy. 13. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. Native bee species are in danger of dying out. B. Pollinator populations are decreasing at an alarming rate. C. Northern American agriculture falls victim to solar panels. D. The government is taking measures to meet the demands for solar energy. 14. Why does the author mention goldenrod soldier beetles in paragraph 4? A. To highlight the ecological crisis. B. To illustrate a mutually beneficial relationship. C. To prove the success of conservation programs. D. To indicate the outcome the wildflower planting. 15. What does the underlined word “efficacy” in paragraph 5 most probably mean? A. Effectiveness. B. Limitation. C. Response. D. Risk. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10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。 Exposure to different cultures is one of the main reasons I enjoy visiting other countries.

While on the road, I remembered that I did not have any money in my pocket. I did not even take my cell phone with me to make a call home. At the same time, I went through a noodle shop, and I suddenly felt very hungry. I wished for a bowl of noodles, but I had no money! The seller saw me standing before the counter and asked, “Hey, girl, you want to have the noodles?” “Oh, yes... but I don’t have money on me...” she replied. “That’s nothing. I’ll treat you today,” said the man, “Come in.” A few minutes later the owner brought me a steaming bowl of noodles. I thanked the man and started to gobblle (狼吞虎咽) up the delicious food...then I cried silently. “What is it?” asked the man kindly. “Nothing. I am just touched by your kindness!” I said as I wiped my tears. “Even a stranger on the street gives me a bowl of noodles, while my mother, after a quarrel, chased me out of the house. She showed no care for me. She is so mean and cruel!” Hearing the words, the seller smiled “Girl, do you really think so? I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot. But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby. why were you not grateful and why did you hurt your mom? You should say sorry to your mom.“ I was really surprised after hearing that.
