She smiles a lot. Her manner is kind and motherly; pushed to name her profession, you might guess at nurse or teacher. But look closer. Easthope is an emergency planner whose job is to support the survivors of major disasters, in which capacity she acted following the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami and the fire at Grenfell Tower. For two decades, the public knew nothing about this vital work, which went on behind the scenes, though she was hugely admired in what we might call professional disaster circles: a voice of calm and a fountain of wisdom. But in 2023, she published a best-selling book about her career, When the Dust Settles, and that changed. People became very interested in what she did. “At literary festivals, most authors get questions about their writing process,” Easthope says. “But I wouldn’t get those. What people wanted from me was to know how I lived with the knowledge that I have. Wasn’t I afraid? How did I handle it? I would tell them that I didn’t live afraid, and I would give them basic advice. But this wasn’t enough.” In the end, she felt she had no choice but to write a second book, one in which she would try to cover all that she has learned for the benefit of each individual. While her publisher describes Come What May as a road map for resilience (韧性), the word is one Easthope dislikes. Ready, she suggests, is a better one. Easthope also reminds people that small things, like losing hair during illness or consuming too much food after someone dies, still matter. She encourages people to remember, not to forget, what happened during disasters, because such events leave a long-lasting effect. 4. What might a Cassandra be like according to paragraph 1? A. Friendly and energetic. B. Competent and cautious. C. Cheerful and easy-going. D. Serious and unapproachable. 5. What led to increased public awareness of Easthope’s work in 2023? A. The publication of a best seller. B. Her involvement in 2004 tsunami relief. C. The growth of professional disaster circles. D. Her sudden rise to fame through media. 6. Why are readers’ questions cited in paragraph 3? A. To reveal Easthope’s personal fears. B. To explain Easthope’s writing process. C. To showcase Easthope’s writing motivation. D. To present public doubts about Easthope’s work. 7. What does Easthope agree on handling disasters? A. Forgetting aids recovery. B. Resilience matters most. C. Positive thinking takes the lead. D. Minor sufferings deserve attention. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了紧急事务规划师露西·伊斯特霍普及其工作，描述了她如何从幕后走向公众视野，通过写书分享应对灾难的知识，并阐述了她对灾后恢复及关注微小痛苦的见解。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“At first sight, Easthope doesn’t seem much like a Cassandra (希腊神话人物). She smiles a lot. Her manner is kind and motherly; pushed to name her profession, you might guess at nurse or teacher. But look closer.(乍一看，伊斯特霍普似乎不太像一位卡珊德拉(希腊神话人物)。她经常微笑。她的举止和蔼，像母亲一样；要你猜她的职业，你可能会猜是护士或老师。但是再仔细看)” 这里提到伊斯特霍普给人的表面印象是“微笑很多”、“和蔼可亲”，但这与“卡珊德拉”给人的感觉不同，因此暗示“卡珊德拉”的形象可能与伊斯特霍普给人的亲切、随和的第一印象相反，即可能比较“严肃、不易接近”。故选D项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“But in 2023, she published a best-selling book about her career, When the Dust Settles, and that changed. People became very interested in what she did.(但在2023年，她出版了一本关于她职业生涯的畅销书《尘埃落定》，情况就此改变。人们开始对她的工作非常感兴趣)”可知，2023年公众对她工作的认知度提升，直接原因是一本畅销书的出版。故选A项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段““At literary festivals, most authors get questions about their writing process,” Easthope says. “But I wouldn’t get those. What people wanted from me was to know how I lived with the knowledge that I have. Wasn’t I afraid? How did I handle it? I would tell them that I didn’t live afraid, and I would give them basic advice. But this wasn’t enough.” In the end, she felt she had no choice but to write a second book, one in which she would try to cover all that she has learned for the benefit of each individual.(“在文学节上，大多数作者会被问到关于写作过程的问题，”伊斯特霍普说，“但我不会被问这些。人们想从我这里知道的是，我如何带着我所掌握的知识生活。我不害怕吗？我是如何应对的？我会告诉他们我并非活在恐惧中，并给他们一些基本的建议。但这还不够。”最终，她感到别无选择，只能再写一本书，一本试图总结她所学到的一切、以惠及每个人的书)”可推知， 引用读者的提问，是为了说明公众的关注点与常规作者不同，他们迫切想了解伊斯特霍普如何处理她所知的灾难知识，这种强烈的需求最终促使她产生了写作第二本书的动机。故选C项。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Easthope also reminds people that small things, like losing hair during illness or consuming too much food after someone dies, still matter.(伊斯特霍普还提醒人们，小事也很重要，比如生病时脱发，或有人在去世后暴饮暴食)”可知，伊斯特霍普认为，灾难中的微小痛苦或细节也值得关注。故选D项。 C Polymetallic nodules (多金属结核) on the deep-ocean seafloor contain minerals like cobalt and nickel, which mining companies hope to harvest for green-energy batteries and technologies. However, a recent study suggests these prized, potato-sized rocks may also serve as a source of oxygen for the bacteria and other microorganisms living there. Jeffrey Marlow, one of the authors of the study, said researchers planted some watertight structures on the ocean floor, which he described as overturned boxes equipped with instruments designed to measure the property and composition of living things and their probable usage of oxygen. Researchers measured the oxygen loss over a 48-hour period while the structure was sealed on the seafloor. Typically, a decline in oxygen is an indicator for biological abundance because breathing organisms consume it. Yet, contrary to all expectations, they observed a rise in oxygen levels, a finding that directly challenged conventional understanding. But not everyone is on the same wavelength as him. Canada’s The Metals Co. stated the study had been rejected by four scientific publications until finding a home at Nature, which the company labeled as “a journal that has long championed the preservation of deep-sea mineral.” TMC also said the method was wrong, arguing the team’s findings contradicted other work that had been conducted in the Pacific Ocean’s Clarion-Clipper Zone. “The heightened oxygen levels are in fact erroneous in the data, and we are currently preparing a peer-reviewed paper as a fightback,” said the company. Bo Barker, a microbiologist at Denmark’s Aarhus University, said the study invited more questions than it did answers. He described it as a “novel but very confusing process for which the mechanism is still not clear.” For years, companies such as Canada’s TMC have been battling to persuade the international governing authority to green-light their plans to obtain these rocks in the Pacific Ocean’s CCZ. The company has argued that the metals are essential for fossil fuel-free technologies and that the impact mining will have on the ocean floor is not only minimal, but also fades next to the destruction of rain forests and human communities caused by land-based mining. 8. What can be inferred about the recent study? A. It cast light on new organisms. B. It capitalized on costly equipment. C. It consumed considerable time. D. It documented oxygen concentration. 9. What does the underlined word “erroneous” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Misleading. B. Pronounced. C. Precise. D. Imaginary. 10. What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph? A. Summarize the previous paragraphs. B. Introduce a new topic for discussion. C. Add some background information. D. Clarify some writing techniques. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Minerals, a Mixed Blessing B. TMC, an Eco- minded Enterprise C. A Tiny Stone: a Big Wave D. Oxygen: the Lifeline for CCZ 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章围绕深海海底的多金属结核展开，阐述了其重要性、相关研究、争议以及开采背景。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Researchers measured the oxygen loss over a 48-hour period while the structure was sealed on the seafloor. (研究人员测量了该结构被密封在海底的48小时内的氧气损失。)”可知，研究人员测量了密封在海底48小时内的氧气损失情况，也就是记录了氧气浓度。故选D。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“TMC also said the method was wrong, arguing the team’s findings contradicted other work that had been conducted in the Pacific Ocean’s Clarion-Clipper Zone. (TMC还表示，该方法是错误的，认为该团队的发现与在太平洋克拉里昂-克利珀顿区进行的其他工作相矛盾。)”可知，TMC公司认为研究方法错误，研究结果与其他在太平洋克拉里昂-克利珀顿区进行的研究相矛盾，所以他们认为数据中升高的氧气水平是错误的，所以erroneous意为“错误的”，和A选项“Misleading”意思相近。故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。最后一段“For years, companies such as Canada’s TMC have been battling to persuade the international governing authority to green-light their plans to obtain these rocks in the Pacific Ocean’s CCZ. The company has argued that the metals are essential for fossil fuel-free technologies and that the impact mining will have on the ocean floor is not only minimal, but also fades next to the destruction of rain forests and human communities caused by land-based mining. (多年来，像加拿大TMC这样的公司一直在努力说服国际管理机构为他们在太平洋CCZ获取这些岩石的计划开绿灯。该公司辩称，这些金属对无化石燃料技术至关重要，而且采矿对海底的影响不仅微乎其微，而且与陆地采矿对雨林和人类社区造成的破坏相比也微不足道。)” 说明公司的采矿诉求和辩解理由，解释了其质疑研究的根本原因（维护自身采矿利益），属于背景补充，故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段中“Polymetallic nodules (多金属结核) on the deep-ocean seafloor contain minerals like cobalt and nickel, which mining companies hope to harvest for green-energy batteries and technologies. However, a recent study suggests these prized, potato-sized rocks may also serve as a source of oxygen for the bacteria and other microorganisms living there.(深海海底的多金属结核含有钴和镍等矿物，矿业公司希望将其收获用于绿色能源电池和技术。然而，最近的一项研究表明，这些珍贵的土豆大小的岩石也可能是生活在那里的细菌和其他微生物的氧气来源)”可知，文章主要围绕深海海底的多金属结核展开，先是介绍其含有可用于绿色能源电池和技术的矿物质，受到矿业公司关注，接着一项研究表明这些土豆大小的石头可能是海底细菌和其他微生物的氧气来源，然后不同方面对此有不同看法，最后提到相关公司在开采这些石头方面的行动。所以C选项“A Tiny Stone: a Big Wave (小石头引发大波澜)”概括了文章围绕小小的多金属结核引发各种研究、争议等内容，适合作标题，故选C。 D Who doesn’t stand in awe of the advances that science and its STEM siblings (technology, engineering, and math) have created to better our world? But since the time of Aristotle, it has also been recognized that the hard sciences and the humanities must walk side by side in determining human action. The ancient Greek philosopher praised “practical wisdom” as the “middle ground” between scientific knowledge and what he referred to as the “cunning (狡诈的) intelligence of politicians, military generals and business leaders”. In his Nicomachean Ethics, he rejected the idea that scientific knowledge alone could determine the affairs of the complex human social world. Likewise, he saw that cunning was insufficient to shape society. Aristotle insisted that practical wisdom was required for the advancement of the human race as it would take into account what he called “the common good,” doing what is right for the majority of people living together in society. Aristotle’s philosophy is still sound today. But to the extent that we side with him, we must challenge our modern era’s overwhelming emphasis on the STEM disciplines as the key to progress. Yes, we will continue to welcome advances in computerization, robotics, medicine and more. But to ensure these innovations are in service of the good life, we must also advance our thinking in the humanities: philosophy, social affairs and the arts. Instead of just STEM, we should perhaps be promoting STEMMA. In that case, we will be able to raise a new generation that has greater capacities for managing collective human efforts and appreciating the arts. Management education — the new “M” — has not always been integrated into humanistic thinking, but it must become more so. Our goal must be to develop the thoughtful leaders of the future. Regarding the “A,” how could it be beneficial to the future without emphasizing the arts, which inform our knowledge of beauty and meaning in human affairs? All the brilliant discoveries of STEM will not solve the grand challenges of today’s world — ignorance, poverty, intolerance and political conflict— without the practical wisdom of humanities-trained leaders. We can’t march boldly into the future without the capabilities necessary for preserving our human dignity in a world of artificial superintelligence (ASI). Humans are not robots and neurons are not digital switches. It is only through the humanities that we will be able to appreciate the answers that superintelligent computers give us when we ask them questions. It is only through the humanities that we will increasingly recognize and build on what we humans uniquely are. 12. What is the limitation of relying only on STEM disciplines? A. They lack the precision needed for modern innovations. B. They prevent the development of artificial superintelligence. C. They cannot meet the severe challenges of human society alone. D. They are too focused on theoretical rather than practical knowledge. 13. The term “practical wisdom” as used by Aristotle emphasizes ________. A. the need for military strategies in societal development B. the importance of thoughtful business leaders of the future C. the advantage of political philosophy over scientific knowledge D. the value of balancing scientific knowledge and cunning intelligence 14. What can we infer about “STEMMA”? A. It directs STEM towards human-centered goals. B. It empowers humans to manage the global economy. C. It represents an educational model designed to replace STEM. D. It suggests art appreciation is the ultimate solution to global challenges. 15. How does the author view the relationship between humans and ASI? A. The development of ASI comes at the expense of human dignity. B. Human uniqueness is defined by contrasting it with ASI’s capabilities. C. ASI’s outputs are beyond humans’ comprehension without the humanities. D. ASI’s analytical power can make up for the shortcomings in the humanities. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章讨论了STEM学科（科学、技术、工程和数学）在推动世界进步方面的作用，同时强调了人文学科（哲学、社会事务和艺术）的重要性，并提出了STEMMA的概念，主张在STEM教育中融入管理和艺术。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“In his Nicomachean Ethics, he rejected the idea that scientific knowledge alone could determine the affairs of the complex human social world. (在他的《尼各马可伦理学》中，他拒绝了科学知识可以单独决定复杂的人类社会事务的观点。)”和第四段中“All the brilliant discoveries of STEM will not solve the grand challenges of today’s world — ignorance, poverty, intolerance and political conflict — without the practical wisdom of humanities-trained leaders. (若缺乏人文教育背景领导者的务实智慧，STEM领域的所有卓越发现都无法解决当今世界的重大挑战——无知、贫困、不容忍与政治冲突。)”可知，仅靠STEM学科无法解决当今世界的重大挑战，必须结合人文学科的实践智慧，故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The ancient Greek philosopher praised “practical wisdom” as the “middle ground” between scientific knowledge and what he referred to as the “cunning (狡诈的) intelligence of politicians, military generals and business leaders”. (这位古希腊哲学家称赞“实践智慧”是科学知识和他所说的“政治家、军事将领和商业领袖的狡猾智慧”之间的“中间地带”。)”和“Aristotle insisted that practical wisdom was required for the advancement of the human race as it would take into account what he called “the common good,” doing what is right for the majority of people living together in society. (亚里士多德坚持认为，实践智慧是人类进步所必需的，因为它会考虑到他所谓的“共同利益”，为社会中共同生活的大多数人做正确的事情。)”可知，亚里士多德的“实践智慧”是科学知识与“狡诈的智慧”之间的“中间地带”，并强调它需考虑“共同利益”。选项D “平衡科学知识与狡诈智慧的价值”准确概括了这一定位，故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Management education — the new “M” — has not always been integrated into humanistic thinking, but it must become more so. Our goal must be to develop the thoughtful leaders of the future. Regarding the “A,” how could it be beneficial to the future without emphasizing the arts, which inform our knowledge of beauty and meaning in human affairs? All the brilliant discoveries of STEM will not solve the grand challenges of today’s world — ignorance, poverty, intolerance and political conflict — without the practical wisdom of humanities-trained leaders. (管理教育——新的“M”——并不总是与人文主义思想相结合，但它必须更加如此。我们的目标必须是培养未来有思想的领导人。关于“A”，如果不强调艺术，它怎么能对未来有益呢？艺术告诉我们人类事物的美和意义。若缺乏人文教育背景领导者的务实智慧，STEM领域的所有卓越发现都无法解决当今世界的重大挑战——无知、贫困、不容忍与政治冲突。)”可知，STEMMA在原文中由STEM扩展而来，新增的M（管理教育）和A（艺术）旨在培养兼顾人类集体协作与艺术鉴赏的领导者，选项A“将STEM导向以人类为中心的目标”符合此意，故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“It is only through the humanities that we will be able to appreciate the answers that superintelligent computers give us when we ask them questions. It is only through the humanities that we will increasingly recognize and build on what we humans uniquely are. (只有通过人文学科，我们才能欣赏超级智能计算机在我们提问时给出的答案。只有通过人文学科，我们才能越来越多地认识到并建立起我们人类的独特性。)”可知，唯有通过人文学科，人类才能理解超级智能（ASI）的答案，并认识自身独特性，选项C“若无人文学科，人类无法理解ASI的输出”直接对应此观点，故选C。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Do a Proper Social Media Detox Despite the involvement of dopamine (多巴胺), social media addiction is a psychological addiction. You need to stop rewarding your current dopamine triggers so that your brain can return to normal.___16___ Plus, you’re more likely to continuously go back into addiction with little hits. Here are the simple steps to a true social media detox: ●Deactivate your accounts.___17___ And it will also signal to your friends that you’ re on a detox. It is easy to find out how to deactivate Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. ●Uninstall all social media apps. This will eliminate all of those notifications and alerts that play such a crucial role in social media addiction. And you won’t be as likely to pop one of those apps open in moments of boredom or stillness. ●Block all social media sites. This is for your computers, laptops, and tablets. Use one of these web filtering tools to restrict access to social media sites.___18___ I also have OpenDNS on my router, which blocks sites for all devices connected to it. ●___19___ It’s not enough to remove social media from your day. You need to fill that empty space with something else. Otherwise, you’re just going to claw your way back. I recommend learning new skills, whether creative hobbies, geeky DIY hobbies, or even hobby programming. ●Stick with the detox long enough. While studies are still limited on this, most experts agree that it takes approximately three months (or 100 days) for dopamine levels to return to normal. It may take longer depending on how long and how intensely you’ ve been addicted.___20___ One last word of advice: Don’t panic. A detox doesn’t have to be permanent — it just has to be long enough to rewire your brain and break you out of the endless dopamine cycle. You can always come back later. A. Take a moment and search your heart. B. My preferred tool is K9 Web Protection. C. Replace social media with another activity. D. This will serve as a fence against your sudden wish to check in. E. You can’t do a detox if you’re feeding your appetite here and there. F. So don’t be surprised if it takes upwards of six months or even a year. G. Like most addictions, it takes hold of you long before you realize it even exists. 【答案】16. E 17. D 18. B 19. C 20. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章介绍了戒掉社交媒体的方法。 【16题详解】 上文“You need to stop rewarding your current dopamine triggers so that your brain can return to normal.(你需要停止奖励你当前的多巴胺触发点，这样你的大脑才能恢复正常)”提出要停止满足多巴胺触发点，E项“You can’t do a detox if you’re feeding your appetite here and there. (如果你处处满足自己的欲望，你就无法实现脱瘾)”解释了原因：如果我们不断去满足自己对多巴胺的欲望，我们就无法戒掉社交媒体，上下文语意连贯。故选E项。 【17题详解】 小标题“Deactivate your accounts.(停用你的帐户)”建议停用社交媒体账号，D项“This will serve as a fence against your sudden wish to check in.(这可以防止你突然想要登录)”解释了需要停用账号的原因：没有账号就可以避免再次登录，上下文构成因果关系。故选D项。 【18题详解】 下文“I also have OpenDNS on my router, which blocks sites for all devices connected to it.(我的路由器上也安装了OpenDNS，它可以屏蔽所有连接到它的设备的网站)”列举了作者使用的一种网络过滤工具，根据句中“also have”可推知，设空句中会提到另一种网络过滤工具。B项“My preferred tool is K9 Web Protection.(我最喜欢的工具是K9 Web Protection)”提到作者最喜欢的过滤工具K9 Web Protection，与下文构成并列关系，上下文语意连贯。故选B项。 【19题详解】 设空句是段首小标题，根据下文“It’s not enough to remove social media from your day. You need to fill that empty space with something else. Otherwise, you’re just going to claw your way back. I recommend learning new skills, whether creative hobbies, geeky DIY hobbies, or even hobby programming.(把社交媒体从你的生活中移除是不够的。你需要用别的东西来填补空白。否则，你很容易会网瘾复发。我建议学习新的技能，无论是创造性的爱好，极客DIY的爱好，甚至是编程的爱好)”可知，本段主要讲用其它活动来代替社交媒体。C项“Replace social media with another activity.(用其他活动代替社交媒体)”是最佳标题。故选C项。 【20题详解】 上文“While studies are still limited on this, most experts agree that it takes approximately three months (or 100 days) for dopamine levels to return to normal. It may take longer depending on how long and how intensely you’ ve been addicted.(虽然在这方面的研究仍然有限，但大多数专家认为，多巴胺水平需要大约三个月(或100天)才能恢复正常。也可能需要更长的时间，这取决于你上瘾的时间和程度)”指出社交媒体脱瘾需要的时间与上瘾时间和上瘾程度有关，因人而异。F项“So don’t be surprised if it takes upwards of six months or even a year.(所以，如果需要六个月甚至一年的时间，不要感到惊讶)”承接上文，提示如果你需要更长的时间来脱瘾不要感到惊讶，上下文语意连贯。故选F项。 第三部分：语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 My father’s thrift (节俭) philosophy shaped my youth. Unlike peers receiving pocket money, I never got a penny — not from cruelty, but to build ___21___.

When his teacher Mr. D. knocked into a bookstand in the library, Eason was sure that the librarian wouldn’t be upset. He was right. The librarian just laughed and helped pick up the books. When Emma, his best friend, failed in the quiz, Eason said, “Don’t worry. You will be better.” And he was right. After working hard around the clock, Emma got an A in the final. Eason looked at the bright side, and everyone in class liked that, except Zoe. Zoe was the new student in class. On her first day, Eason greeted her warmly with open arms, saying, “Nice to meet you, Zoe. I think you’ll like it here.” Zoe stared at him, “I doubt it.” Eason didn’t know what to say. He’d never met anyone like Zoe. In the afternoon, Mr. D. announced that they’d have an art class inside because of the rain. At that, Zoe directed a meaningful look at Eason, raising her eyebrow, “Bad things come in threes. No outdoor activity is number one. What will be the second?” Eason felt as if a cold wind was knocking into him. Outside the window, the clouds had rolled over the sun. The room felt darker and the class didn’t have to wait long to find out the next. A boy was carrying a box of paint when he fell, and paint went flying. There was blue, red and black on the walls. Zoe turned to Eason, reaching out two fingers, posing a “V” sign, eyes shining with delight of victory, which seemed to celebrate the arrival of the second bad thing. Eason was speechless. Just at that moment, Emma came to look at Eason’s painting. She admired it and picked it up, not realizing she had paint on her fingers. Zoe pointed with excitement, “Number three! Eason’s picture is ruined” Looking at the striking fingerprints, Emma went red with shame and apologized. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为80左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “Don’t worry” Eason comforted Emma,“They can be part of my art.” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 “Don’t worry!” Eason comforted Emma, “They can be part of my art.” Eason was right. By adding wings to the fingerprints, they looked like butterflies. The amazing effect struck everyone present, including Emma, who couldn’t help but clap her hands. Then an idea struck Eason, “Why not make a field of butterflies with paint?” As the words slipped out of his mouth, everyone competed to put a fingerprint on Eason’s paper except Zoe. Embarrassed, Zoe stood still, red in the face. Eason grinned and invited her to join them. Zoe hesitated for a moment, and then she carefully did it. Eason gave Zoe a thumb up, adding,“Sometimes there are nice things hiding where you don’t expect them.” 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了乐观积极的Eason在面对各种情况时总是能看到好的一面，深受同学们喜欢，但新同学Zoe却持有相反态度，她秉持“坏事成三”的观点，在艺术课上接连“预言”并“见证”了所谓的三件坏事发生的故事，展现了两人截然不同的处事态度。 【详解】1.段落续写： 由首句内容““别担心！”Eason安慰Emma，“这些手印可以成为我画作一部分。”可知，本段内容可描写Eason如何化解问题以及同学们的反应，最后Eason邀请Zoe一起参与作画。 2.续写线索：Eason巧妙化解问题——同学们被打动——同学们纷纷加入作画——Zoe感到尴尬——Eason邀请Zoe 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①某人突然想起一个主意：an idea strike sb./an idea hit sb. ②期待：expect/anticipate 情绪类 ①令人惊讶的：amazing/astonishing ②尴尬的：embarrassed/awkward 【点睛】[高分句型1] The amazing effect struck everyone present, including Emma, who couldn’t help but clap her hands.（运用了who引导非限制性定语从句） [高分句型2] As the words slipped out of his mouth, everyone competed to put a fingerprint on Eason’s paper except Zoe.（运用了as引导时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 树德中学高2024级高二上期期末测试英语试题 第一部分：听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 1.

She smiles a lot. Her manner is kind and motherly; pushed to name her profession, you might guess at nurse or teacher. But look closer. Easthope is an emergency planner whose job is to support the survivors of major disasters, in which capacity she acted following the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami and the fire at Grenfell Tower. For two decades, the public knew nothing about this vital work, which went on behind the scenes, though she was hugely admired in what we might call professional disaster circles: a voice of calm and a fountain of wisdom. But in 2023, she published a best-selling book about her career, When the Dust Settles, and that changed. People became very interested in what she did. “At literary festivals, most authors get questions about their writing process,” Easthope says. “But I wouldn’t get those. What people wanted from me was to know how I lived with the knowledge that I have. Wasn’t I afraid? How did I handle it? I would tell them that I didn’t live afraid, and I would give them basic advice. But this wasn’t enough.” In the end, she felt she had no choice but to write a second book, one in which she would try to cover all that she has learned for the benefit of each individual. While her publisher describes Come What May as a road map for resilience (韧性), the word is one Easthope dislikes. Ready, she suggests, is a better one. Easthope also reminds people that small things, like losing hair during illness or consuming too much food after someone dies, still matter. She encourages people to remember, not to forget, what happened during disasters, because such events leave a long-lasting effect. 4. What might a Cassandra be like according to paragraph 1? A. Friendly and energetic. B. Competent and cautious. C. Cheerful and easy-going. D. Serious and unapproachable. 5. What led to increased public awareness of Easthope’s work in 2023? A The publication of a best seller. B. Her involvement in 2004 tsunami relief. C. The growth of professional disaster circles. D. Her sudden rise to fame through media. 6. Why are readers’ questions cited in paragraph 3? A. To reveal Easthope’s personal fears. B. To explain Easthope’s writing process. C. To showcase Easthope’s writing motivation. D. To present public doubts about Easthope’s work. 7. What does Easthope agree on handling disasters? A. Forgetting aids recovery. B. Resilience matters most. C. Positive thinking takes the lead. D. Minor sufferings deserve attention. C Polymetallic nodules (多金属结核) on the deep-ocean seafloor contain minerals like cobalt and nickel, which mining companies hope to harvest for green-energy batteries and technologies. However, a recent study suggests these prized, potato-sized rocks may also serve as a source of oxygen for the bacteria and other microorganisms living there. Jeffrey Marlow, one of the authors of the study, said researchers planted some watertight structures on the ocean floor, which he described as overturned boxes equipped with instruments designed to measure the property and composition of living things and their probable usage of oxygen. Researchers measured the oxygen loss over a 48-hour period while the structure was sealed on the seafloor. Typically, a decline in oxygen is an indicator for biological abundance because breathing organisms consume it. Yet, contrary to all expectations, they observed a rise in oxygen levels, a finding that directly challenged conventional understanding. But not everyone is on the same wavelength as him. Canada’s The Metals Co. stated the study had been rejected by four scientific publications until finding a home at Nature, which the company labeled as “a journal that has long championed the preservation of deep-sea mineral.” TMC also said the method was wrong, arguing the team’s findings contradicted other work that had been conducted in the Pacific Ocean’s Clarion-Clipper Zone. “The heightened oxygen levels are in fact erroneous in the data, and we are currently preparing a peer-reviewed paper as a fightback,” said the company. Bo Barker, a microbiologist at Denmark’s Aarhus University, said the study invited more questions than it did answers. He described it as a “novel but very confusing process for which the mechanism is still not clear.” For years, companies such as Canada’s TMC have been battling to persuade the international governing authority to green-light their plans to obtain these rocks in the Pacific Ocean’s CCZ. The company has argued that the metals are essential for fossil fuel-free technologies and that the impact mining will have on the ocean floor is not only minimal, but also fades next to the destruction of rain forests and human communities caused by land-based mining. 8. What can be inferred about the recent study? A. It cast light on new organisms. B. It capitalized on costly equipment. C. It consumed considerable time. D. It documented oxygen concentration. 9. What does the underlined word “erroneous” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Misleading. B. Pronounced. C. Precise. D. Imaginary. 10. What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph? A. Summarize the previous paragraphs. B. Introduce a new topic for discussion. C. Add some background information. D. Clarify some writing techniques. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Minerals, a Mixed Blessing B. TMC, an Eco- minded Enterprise C. A Tiny Stone: a Big Wave D. Oxygen: the Lifeline for CCZ D Who doesn’t stand in awe of the advances that science and its STEM siblings (technology, engineering, and math) have created to better our world? But since the time of Aristotle, it has also been recognized that the hard sciences and the humanities must walk side by side in determining human action. The ancient Greek philosopher praised “practical wisdom” as the “middle ground” between scientific knowledge and what he referred to as the “cunning (狡诈的) intelligence of politicians, military generals and business leaders”. In his Nicomachean Ethics, he rejected the idea that scientific knowledge alone could determine the affairs of the complex human social world. Likewise, he saw that cunning was insufficient to shape society. Aristotle insisted that practical wisdom was required for the advancement of the human race as it would take into account what he called “the common good,” doing what is right for the majority of people living together in society. Aristotle’s philosophy is still sound today. But to the extent that we side with him, we must challenge our modern era’s overwhelming emphasis on the STEM disciplines as the key to progress. Yes, we will continue to welcome advances in computerization, robotics, medicine and more. But to ensure these innovations are in service of the good life, we must also advance our thinking in the humanities: philosophy, social affairs and the arts. Instead of just STEM, we should perhaps be promoting STEMMA. In that case, we will be able to raise a new generation that has greater capacities for managing collective human efforts and appreciating the arts. Management education — the new “M” — has not always been integrated into humanistic thinking, but it must become more so. Our goal must be to develop the thoughtful leaders of the future. Regarding the “A,” how could it be beneficial to the future without emphasizing the arts, which inform our knowledge of beauty and meaning in human affairs? All the brilliant discoveries of STEM will not solve the grand challenges of today’s world — ignorance, poverty, intolerance and political conflict— without the practical wisdom of humanities-trained leaders. We can’t march boldly into the future without the capabilities necessary for preserving our human dignity in a world of artificial superintelligence (ASI). Humans are not robots and neurons are not digital switches. It is only through the humanities that we will be able to appreciate the answers that superintelligent computers give us when we ask them questions. It is only through the humanities that we will increasingly recognize and build on what we humans uniquely are. 12. What is the limitation of relying only on STEM disciplines? A. They lack the precision needed for modern innovations. B. They prevent the development of artificial superintelligence. C. They cannot meet the severe challenges of human society alone. D. They are too focused on theoretical rather than practical knowledge. 13. The term “practical wisdom” as used by Aristotle emphasizes ________. A. the need for military strategies in societal development B. the importance of thoughtful business leaders of the future C. the advantage of political philosophy over scientific knowledge D. the value of balancing scientific knowledge and cunning intelligence 14. What can we infer about “STEMMA”? A. It directs STEM towards human-centered goals. B. It empowers humans to manage the global economy. C. It represents an educational model designed to replace STEM. D. It suggests art appreciation is the ultimate solution to global challenges. 15. How does the author view the relationship between humans and ASI? A. The development of ASI comes at the expense of human dignity. B. Human uniqueness is defined by contrasting it with ASI’s capabilities. C. ASI’s outputs are beyond humans’ comprehension without the humanities. D ASI’s analytical power can make up for the shortcomings in the humanities. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Do a Proper Social Media Detox Despite the involvement of dopamine (多巴胺), social media addiction is a psychological addiction.

When his teacher Mr. D. knocked into a bookstand in the library, Eason was sure that the librarian wouldn’t be upset. He was right. The librarian just laughed and helped pick up the books. When Emma, his best friend, failed in the quiz, Eason said, “Don’t worry. You will be better.” And he was right. After working hard around the clock, Emma got an A in the final. Eason looked at the bright side, and everyone in class liked that, except Zoe. Zoe was the new student in class. On her first day, Eason greeted her warmly with open arms, saying, “Nice to meet you, Zoe. I think you’ll like it here.” Zoe stared at him, “I doubt it.” Eason didn’t know what to say. He’d never met anyone like Zoe. In the afternoon, Mr. D. announced that they’d have an art class inside because of the rain. At that, Zoe directed a meaningful look at Eason, raising her eyebrow, “Bad things come in threes. No outdoor activity is number one. What will be the second?” Eason felt as if a cold wind was knocking into him. Outside the window, the clouds had rolled over the sun. The room felt darker and the class didn’t have to wait long to find out the next. A boy was carrying a box of paint when he fell, and paint went flying. There was blue, red and black on the walls. Zoe turned to Eason, reaching out two fingers, posing a “V” sign, eyes shining with delight of victory, which seemed to celebrate the arrival of the second bad thing. Eason was speechless. Just at that moment, Emma came to look at Eason’s painting. She admired it and picked it up, not realizing she had paint on her fingers. Zoe pointed with excitement, “Number three! Eason’s picture is ruined” Looking at the striking fingerprints, Emma went red with shame and apologized. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为80左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “Don’t worry” Eason comforted Emma,“They can be part of my art.” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
