The questionnaire gathered insights from diverse groups, including high school students, office professionals, assembly line workers, educators, etc. A total of 500 people participated in the study. The findings are illustrated in the accompanying pie chart: The survey also incorporated a section for open commentary: Lily,17: “AI might automate some repetitive tasks, but that’s kind of wake-up call for us to learn new skills. Gotta stay relevant, ya know?” Mr. Felix,35: “As a designer, I see AI as a major workflow booster — not a threat. It’s like having a super-efficient assistant that works 24/7.” Ms. Zhang, 42: “Education systems need to keep up with the times, fr. We should be teaching adaptive and future-proof skills so the next gen is prepared.” Mr. Gang, 48: “AI worries me. After 25 years on the assembly line, I see smarter machines taking over. Too old to learn new tech easily. How will I support my family?” While a majority of respondents foresee major employment shifts from AI, Mr. Liu, the chief editor of the magazine, highlights that active adaptation and a forward-looking mindset are crucial. He emphasizes that strategic preparation can transform these challenges into opportunities for growth and innovation. 1. Which of the following best describes the participants’ responses? A. Anxious and resistant. B. Uncaring and passive. C. Concerned but adaptable. D. Hopeful and enthusiastic. 2. What does Mr. Liu suggest in his comment? A. Opportunities lie in challenges posed by AI. B. Adaptation driven by AI is inevitable. C A positive mindset is vital for AI adaptation. D. AI sets people thinking about employee patterns. 3. What is the primary purpose of the survey in the text? A. To show AI’s effects on manufacturing jobs. B. To compare age groups’ attitudes towards AI. C. To present public views on AI’s impact on jobs. D. To push for educational reforms for the AI trend. B The first time I realized that I had a love for sports competitions was during Field Day in elementary school. Small for my age and more of a bookworm than a sports enthusiast, I had suffered that special humiliation of being picked last for various gym team. But Field Day, which focused on individual skills, was different. In the softball throw event, I got my first taste of sporting victory. Credit goes to the example of my first coach, my father. He lifted weights every morning at home. He bought us all baseball gloves and hats, and in the warm months, we spent hours playing catch. With the fall coming, our backyard football games began with passing practice. Once I got to sixth grade and switched to private school our entire student body was assigned to either the red team or the white team. Throughout the year we competed against each other in various games and exercises for points. I eventually became president of The Committee of Games accelerating my competitive fever. However, in girls’ sports games at my school, I was no star. I also played on the field hockey team and the basketball team. School sports did not bleed into (渗透进) the weekends as they do today but at home, playing tennis, skating, skiing were important things we did. During downtime, magazines were also quite popular for us teens. These regularly featured articles on physical exercise. Somehow, my college roommate and I took up the habit of completing Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) exercises every day, a practice that continued into my marriage, when we had no spare funds to use to join a gym. So, though it shocks some of our friends, that early foundation evolved in adulthood into a sports and fitness focus, considered essential even on vacation. I still love reading and the arts, too. But as far as I’m concerned, life is richest with my feet in both worlds. 4. What does the underlined word “humiliation” mean in paragraph 2? A. Despair. B. Guilt. C. Shame. D. Disturbance. 5. According to the author, what was the main reason for her success in the softball throw? A. Her natural belief in her own athletic skill. B. The high-quality sports equipment she owned. C. The athletic gifts passed down from her father. D. Her father’s coaching and regular practice with her. 6. What happened after the author stepped into adulthood? A. She continued to value sports and fitness. B. She usually worked out only on weekends. C. She liked reading more than physical activity. D. She became a member of the Royal Canadian Air Force. 7. What is the intention of the author to write the article? A. To list the benefits of physical exercise. B. To share her early experiences with sports. C. To express her passion for sports and fitness. D To explain how her father inspired her love for sports. C Reflecting on GCSE results day, the UK equivalent of China’s gaokao results day, I feel a mix of pride and sadness. I am proud of this year’s graduating students, who achieved fantastic results despite the challenges of the pandemic, but I am also sad because, for many, it marks the end of their study of humanities subjects. I won’t hide my bias: I studied Spanish, history, philosophy, ethics, Latin and religious studies, and I strongly advocate for the humanities. Yet, they’re becoming increasingly unpopular, with only38 percent of students taking at least one humanities course in 2021/22 compared to nearly 60percent from 2003/4 to 2015/16. One reason for this decline is Michael Gove, whose decision to separate AS-levels (Advanced Subsidiary Levels) from A-levels, to a large extent, led students to give up AS-levels and narrow their choices to three subjects earlier. But I fear another factor is at play: money. According to the House of Commons Library, students who started university in 2023 will graduate with an estimated debt of 45,600 pounds. As a result, studying STEM subjects, which leads to higher earnings, has greater appeal. But humanities students know it’s rarely that simple. David Rubenstein argued that a well-rounded humanities education actually results in higher-paying jobs over time. Rubenstein’s success in private equity (私募股权), one of the most well-paying fields, supports his claim. My experience interning (实习) at private equity firms while studying history echoes this. My language skills and ability to analyze complex issues were highly valued by my colleagues. For example, understanding languages and cultures was an advantage in my work related to international business. My history studies sharpened my analytical skills, helping me make persuasive investment recommendations. Additionally, my grounding in philosophy and ethics helped me critically assess controversial deals. Humanities subjects equip students with valuable skills like problem-solving, critical thinking and cultural awareness. Andrew Osayemi emphasized the value of a generalist skillset across professions. “Once those beginning themes are learned, you’ re on the same level as anyone else, regardless of what they studied,” he said. As students receive their GCSE results, I urge them to stay open to different subjects and career paths, maximizing their enjoyment of learning and ensuring diverse, well-rounded workforces. After all a broad educational foundation can be a significant advantage in the complex and ever- changing modern job market. 8. Why does the author feel in part sad about GCSE results day? A. Because the humanities are losing popularity. B. Because students are avoiding difficult subjects. C. Because schools have canceled humanities programs. D. Because students perform poorly in humanities classes. 9. What mainly leads to the decline in the study of humanities according to the author? A. Changes in the structure of A-level exams. B. Higher university fees for humanities majors. C. A shortage of highly-paid jobs for humanities graduates. D. The growing popularity of STEM subjects in higher education. 10. What is David Rubenstein’s view on humanities education? A. It teaches skills that are crucial in private equity. B. It leads to better-earning potential over a career. C. It is particularly respected in business environments. D. It provides a competitive advantage in every industry. 11. What educational approach does the author recommend to students? A. Maintain a wide range of academic interests. B. Choose a specialization early to get a head start. C. Focus on STEM subjects to ensure employability. D. Select only the subjects they find most enjoyable. D Nearly one-third of American adolescents and adults are affected by anxiety, according to the National Institute of Mental Health. In fact, over the last decade, anxiety has surpassed depression as the most common reason college students seek counseling (咨询) services, the New York Times reported. Sixty-two percent of undergraduates in survey reported “unbearable anxiety,” a significant increase from 50 percent in 2011. Anxiety, along with depression, cuts across all demographics (人口群体), including both privileged and disadvantaged teenagers. But privileged teens are among the most emotionally upset youth in America, Arizona State University psychology professor Suniya Luthar told the New York Times. “These kids are incredibly anxious and perfectionistic,” Suniya Luthar said, “there’s always one more activity, one more A. P. class, one more thing to do in order to get into a top college. Kids have a sense that they’re not measuring up. The pressure is never-ending and getting worse.” But helicopter parents aren’t always to blame. “Many students internalize the anxiety and put the pressure on themselves”, Madeline Levine, co-founder of Challenge Success, a nonprofit aimed at improving student well-being, told the Times. Another expert, psychiatrist Stephanie Eken, said despite the cultural differences, there’s a lot of overlap among teens regarding what makes them anxious. Eken mentions factors range from school, family conflicts, what food to eat, diseases, how they’re perceived by friends and notably in the last few years, Eken told the Times, to a rising fear about terrorism. “They wonder about whether it’s safe to go to a movie theater,” she said. A lack of close, meaningful relationships is also a major factor. Experts have long said mental and physical changes associated with puberty (青春期) may leave teens at higher risk for anxiety. “And social media doesn’t help”, Eken said, adding that teens are always comparing themselves with their friends, which leaves them miserable. When Times reporter Benoit Denizet-Lewis visited Mountain Valey, a nonprofit that offers teens need-based assistance for $910 a day, a college student at the facility said, “I don’t think we realize how much it’s affecting our moods and personalities. Social media is a tool, but it’s become this thing that we can’t live without but that’s making us crazy.” 12. What is the first paragraph mainly about? A. A growing trend of anxiety in teenagers. B. A report on mental health of adolescents. C. Widespread psychological disorders among adults. D. A national survey on the mental health of teenagers. 13. What does Suniya Luthar suggest about privileged teenagers? A. They face excessive parental expectations. B. They experience less anxiety than underprivileged teens. C. Their pressure often comes from themselves, not from others. D. They struggle with severe anxiety under pressure of perfection. 14. Why did Eken list the factors in paragraph 4? A. To highlight examples of cultural differences. B. To stress the role of meaningful relationships. C. To identify various sources of stress and anxiety. D. To show how daily events affect psychological health. 15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Is anxiety increasing in the United States? B. Why are more US teens suffering from anxiety? C. How is social media affecting teens with anxiety? D. How do we help teenagers deal with mental illness? 第二节（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。 “Let’s brainstorm together!” You might often hear your teachers ask you to have a group discussion to solve a problem. But is brainstorm really a good way to deal with a problem, especially creative ones? The Dutch company WeTransfer conducted a survey of 20,000 creatives from 197 countries and regions. ____16____. The survey results suggested that brainstorming is largely unhelpful for solving a creative challenge. “____17____. However, it seems that while working together is essential to bring an idea to life, it’s not that good for shaping ideas in the first place,” noted Rob Alderson, WeTransfer’s former editor-in-chief. “Send people off with the time and space to think properly and the quality of their ideas will probably improve,” Alderson added. In fact, Alex Osborn, the father of brainstorming, also sees spending time alone to think as part of his own creative process. However, most companies fail to give their employees a chance to prepare and form their thoughts. ____18____. More than 40 percent of participants see meetings as a barrier to good thinking. That’s a worrying number given almost 90 percent of participants work in creative fields which rise and fall on the power of good ideas. Independent thinking is also crucial when making decisions. Nearly 80 percent of participants in the survey say they trust their own instincts and research when evaluating an idea. ____19____. Though the growing body of evidence suggests brainstorming may not result in the best ideas, it isn’t entirely useless. ____20____. If nothing else, practicing brainstorming promotes team cohesion (凝聚力) and trust. A. It proved the risks of this form of group thinking B. Only 18 percent will run an idea past colleagues and friends C. In the creative world, we hear an awful lot about collaboration D. They include writers, musicians, photographers and podcasts E. They often have many meetings scheduled which is a killer of creativity F. They should place as much if not more, faith in the individual imagination G. A Northern Illinois University study emphasized its value as a team-building activity 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A. B. C.

I placed it in an envelope ____32____ the stage manager to give it to her ____33____ after rehearsals without revealing who it’s from. Although I haven’t seen her reaction, I like to imagine her ____34____ and joy when she discovered this chance to pursue her dreams.

Every time he heard that sound, Michael’s heart felt heavy. He shifted uncomfortably in his seat, trying to focus on the show, but his mind continued to drift to thoughts of all the damage his dad was doing to his lungs by smoking. Michael just didn’t understand. His dad was a great dad-he spent a lot of his spare time with him playing outside and watching TV. Plus, he was really smart, so why would he be so stupid as to risk his health by smoking? What if it caused an early death? Had he ever considered how heartbroken it would make him and his mom? Michael’s mind wandered back to a conversation he had overheard between his parents. His mom had been pleading (恳求) with his dad, her voice full of worry. “You need to think about your health, for Michael’s sake if not for your own,” she had said. But his dad just brushed her off, saying he was too stressed to quit. One evening, Michael approached his mom to discuss the issue. “I’ve tried to persuade him to quit,” Michael’s mom expressed with a sigh. “But he always gets annoyed whenever I bring up the subject.” She looked tired and defeated. “At least your dad is considerate (为他人着想的) with his smoking; he never does it indoors or around others. He even changes his clothes to prevent us from smelling the smoke. Despite that, it's still so hard on him, on us...” The next day at school, Michael was playing basketball with his classmate Tim on the court. “Hey, does either of your parents smoke?” he asked. “Yeah, my dad smokes, but he’s cut down in the past year,” replied Tim. “Oh, how did he do that?" Michael asked curiously. “I don’t really know what happened. I guess he just realized it was time for a change,” said Tim, as he threw the ball back to Michael. This gave Michael a ray of hope and an idea. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Michael decided to take action, hoping to encourage his dad to change. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day, Michael found a bittersweet reply from his dad on his bed. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025年下学期高二年级期末质量检测试卷 英语 总分值：150分 考试时长：120分钟 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。听力部分结束前，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 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，并标在试卷的相应位置。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.

We should be teaching adaptive and future-proof skills so the next gen is prepared. (教育系统需要跟上时代步伐。我们应该教授适应性和面向未来的技能，以便下一代做好准备。)”可知，他们虽然对人工智能有担忧，但也看到了积极的一面，愿意去适应；再结合Mr. Gang的话“AI worries me. After 25 years on the assembly line, I see smarter machines taking over. Too old to learn new tech easily. How will I support my family? (人工智能让我担心。在装配线上工作了25年后，我看到更智能的机器正在取代人工。我太老了，不容易学习新技术。我将如何养家糊口？)”可知，他表达了担忧，但文中并没有体现他拒绝适应。综合来看，参与者们的反应是担忧但能适应。故选C项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“While a majority of respondents foresee major employment shifts from AI, Mr. Liu, the chief editor of the magazine, highlights that active adaptation and a forward-looking mindset are crucial. He emphasizes that strategic preparation can transform these challenges into opportunities for growth and innovation. (虽然大多数受访者预计人工智能将带来重大就业变化，但该杂志主编刘先生强调，积极适应和前瞻性思维至关重要。他强调，战略准备可以将这些挑战转化为增长和创新的机会。)”可知，刘先生认为战略准备可以把挑战转化为增长和创新的机会，即挑战中蕴含着机遇。故选A项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“A recent survey conducted by an online magazine sought to measure public perception on the potential impact of artificial intelligence on the job market. The questionnaire gathered insights from diverse groups, including high school students, office professionals, assembly line workers, educators, etc. (一家在线杂志最近进行的一项调查旨在衡量公众对人工智能对就业市场潜在影响的看法。该问卷收集了包括高中生、办公室职员、装配线工人、教育工作者等不同群体的见解。)”可知，调查的主要目的是展示公众对人工智能对就业影响的看法。故选C项。 B The first time I realized that I had a love for sports competitions was during Field Day in elementary school. Small for my age and more of a bookworm than a sports enthusiast, I had suffered that special humiliation of being picked last for various gym team. But Field Day, which focused on individual skills, was different. In the softball throw event, I got my first taste of sporting victory. Credit goes to the example of my first coach, my father. He lifted weights every morning at home. He bought us all baseball gloves and hats, and in the warm months, we spent hours playing catch. With the fall coming, our backyard football games began with passing practice. Once I got to sixth grade and switched to private school our entire student body was assigned to either the red team or the white team. Throughout the year we competed against each other in various games and exercises for points. I eventually became president of The Committee of Games accelerating my competitive fever. However, in girls’ sports games at my school, I was no star. I also played on the field hockey team and the basketball team. School sports did not bleed into (渗透进) the weekends as they do today but at home, playing tennis, skating, skiing were important things we did. During downtime, magazines were also quite popular for us teens. These regularly featured articles on physical exercise. Somehow, my college roommate and I took up the habit of completing Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) exercises every day, a practice that continued into my marriage, when we had no spare funds to use to join a gym. So, though it shocks some of our friends, that early foundation evolved in adulthood into a sports and fitness focus, considered essential even on vacation. I still love reading and the arts, too. But as far as I’m concerned, life is richest with my feet in both worlds. 4. What does the underlined word “humiliation” mean in paragraph 2? A. Despair. B. Guilt. C. Shame. D. Disturbance. 5. According to the author, what was the main reason for her success in the softball throw? A. Her natural belief in her own athletic skill. B. The high-quality sports equipment she owned. C. The athletic gifts passed down from her father. D. Her father’s coaching and regular practice with her. 6. What happened after the author stepped into adulthood? A. She continued to value sports and fitness. B. She usually worked out only on weekends. C. She liked reading more than physical activity. D. She became a member of the Royal Canadian Air Force. 7. What is the intention of the author to write the article? A. To list the benefits of physical exercise. B. To share her early experiences with sports. C. To express her passion for sports and fitness. D. To explain how her father inspired her love for sports. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章主要讲述了作者从小时候对体育比赛的热爱，到成长过程中在体育方面的经历，以及成年后依然重视体育和健身，表达了作者对体育和健身的热情。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“Small for my age and more of a bookworm than a sports enthusiast, I had suffered that special … of being picked last for various gym team(对于我的年龄来说，我个子很小，而且更像是一个书呆子而不是体育爱好者，我遭受了那种特殊的……，在各种体育团队选拔中总是最后一个被选中)”可知，因为个子小且不是体育爱好者，在体育团队选拔中总是最后一个被选中，这会让人感到羞愧。所以“humiliation”意思是“羞愧”，与“Shame”意思相近。故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“In the softball throw event, I got my first taste of sporting victory. Credit goes to the example of my first coach, my father. He lifted weights every morning at home. He bought us all baseball gloves and hats, and in the warm months, we spent hours playing catch. With the fall coming, our backyard football games began with passing practice(在垒球投掷项目中，我第一次尝到了体育胜利的滋味。这要归功于我的第一位教练，我的父亲的榜样。他每天早上在家举重。他给我们所有人都买了棒球手套和帽子，在温暖的月份里，我们花几个小时玩接球游戏。随着秋天的到来，我们后院的足球比赛从传球练习开始)”可知，作者在垒球投掷项目中取得成功的主要原因是她父亲的指导和与她一起进行的常规练习。故选D项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“So, though it shocks some of our friends, that early foundation evolved in adulthood into a sports and fitness focus, considered essential even on vacation(所以，尽管这让我们的一些朋友感到震惊，但早期的这种基础在成年后演变成了对体育和健身的关注，即使在度假时也被认为是必不可少的)”可知，作者成年后继续重视体育和健身。故选A项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“The first time I realized that I had a love for sports competitions was during Field Day in elementary school(我第一次意识到自己热爱体育竞赛，是在小学的运动会上)”、第三段“In the softball throw event, I got my first taste of sporting victory. Credit goes to the example of my first coach, my father. He lifted weights every morning at home. He bought us all baseball gloves and hats, and in the warm months, we spent hours playing catch.

I still love reading and the arts, too. But as far as I’m concerned, life is richest with my feet in both worlds (所以，尽管这让我们的一些朋友感到意外，但儿时打下的这份基础，到了成年后便发展成了对运动和健身的执着追求 —— 即便在假期，这也是我认为不可或缺的事。我也依然热爱阅读与艺术。但在我看来，能徜徉在这两个世界里，生活才会变得丰盈充实)”可知文章主要讲述了作者从小时候对体育比赛的热爱，到成长过程中在体育方面的经历，以及成年后依然重视体育和健身，表明作者对体育和健身充满热情。所以作者写这篇文章的意图是表达她对体育和健身的热情。故选C项。 C Reflecting on GCSE results day, the UK equivalent of China’s gaokao results day, I feel a mix of pride and sadness. I am proud of this year’s graduating students, who achieved fantastic results despite the challenges of the pandemic, but I am also sad because, for many, it marks the end of their study of humanities subjects. I won’t hide my bias: I studied Spanish, history, philosophy, ethics, Latin and religious studies, and I strongly advocate for the humanities. Yet, they’re becoming increasingly unpopular, with only38 percent of students taking at least one humanities course in 2021/22 compared to nearly 60percent from 2003/4 to 2015/16. One reason for this decline is Michael Gove, whose decision to separate AS-levels (Advanced Subsidiary Levels) from A-levels, to a large extent, led students to give up AS-levels and narrow their choices to three subjects earlier. But I fear another factor is at play: money. According to the House of Commons Library, students who started university in 2023 will graduate with an estimated debt of 45,600 pounds. As a result, studying STEM subjects, which leads to higher earnings, has greater appeal. But humanities students know it’s rarely that simple. David Rubenstein argued that a well-rounded humanities education actually results in higher-paying jobs over time. Rubenstein’s success in private equity (私募股权), one of the most well-paying fields, supports his claim. My experience interning (实习) at private equity firms while studying history echoes this. My language skills and ability to analyze complex issues were highly valued by my colleagues. For example, understanding languages and cultures was an advantage in my work related to international business. My history studies sharpened my analytical skills, helping me make persuasive investment recommendations. Additionally, my grounding in philosophy and ethics helped me critically assess controversial deals. Humanities subjects equip students with valuable skills like problem-solving, critical thinking and cultural awareness. Andrew Osayemi emphasized the value of a generalist skillset across professions. “Once those beginning themes are learned, you’ re on the same level as anyone else, regardless of what they studied,” he said. As students receive their GCSE results, I urge them to stay open to different subjects and career paths, maximizing their enjoyment of learning and ensuring diverse, well-rounded workforces. After all a broad educational foundation can be a significant advantage in the complex and ever- changing modern job market. 8. Why does the author feel in part sad about GCSE results day? A. Because the humanities are losing popularity. B. Because students are avoiding difficult subjects. C. Because schools have canceled humanities programs. D. Because students perform poorly in humanities classes. 9. What mainly leads to the decline in the study of humanities according to the author? A. Changes in the structure of A-level exams. B. Higher university fees for humanities majors. C. A shortage of highly-paid jobs for humanities graduates. D. The growing popularity of STEM subjects in higher education. 10. What is David Rubenstein’s view on humanities education? A. It teaches skills that are crucial in private equity. B. It leads to better-earning potential over a career. C. It is particularly respected in business environments. D. It provides a competitive advantage in every industry. 11. What educational approach does the author recommend to students? A. Maintain a wide range of academic interests. B. Choose a specialization early to get a head start. C. Focus on STEM subjects to ensure employability. D. Select only the subjects they find most enjoyable. 【答案】8 A 9. A 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文作者借 GCSE 放榜日的感受，指出英国人文科目学习人数锐减的现象，分析了考试改革和金钱因素两大诱因；同时通过自身和他人的经历，论证人文教育能培养关键技能，长远来看利于高薪就业；最后呼吁学生保持广泛的学术兴趣，构建全面的知识体系。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“I am proud of this year’s graduating students, who achieved fantastic results despite the challenges of the pandemic, but I am also sad because, for many, it marks the end of their study of humanities subjects.( 我为今年的毕业生们感到骄傲，尽管面临疫情的种种挑战，他们仍取得了优异的成绩，但我也感到有些难过，因为对许多人来说，这标志着他们人文学科学习的结束。)”以及第二段中“Yet, they’re becoming increasingly unpopular, with only38 percent of students taking at least one humanities course in 2021/22 compared to nearly 60 percent from 2003/4 to 2015/16.( 然而，它们正变得越来越不受青睐，2021/22 学年选择至少一门人文课程的学生比例仅为 38%，而 2003/4 至 2015/16 学年这一比例接近 60%。)”可知，作者对GCSE考试的结果感到有些难过的原因是人文学科的关注度在下降。故选A项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“One reason for this decline is Michael Gove, whose decision to separate AS-levels (Advanced Subsidiary Levels) from A-levels, to a large extent, led students to give up AS-levels and narrow their choices to three subjects earlier.( 这种下降趋势的一个原因是迈克尔·戈夫（Michael Gove）的决定，他将 AS水平课程（高级附属水平课程）与 A水平课程分开，这在很大程度上导致学生放弃 AS水平课程，并提前将选择范围缩小到三门学科。)”可知，根据作者的观点，人文学科研究量下降的主要原因是高级水平考试结构的变化。故选A项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“David Rubenstein argued that a well- rounded humanities education actually results in higher-paying jobs over time. Rubenstein’s success in private equity (私募股权), one of the most well-paying fields, supports his claim.( 大卫·鲁宾斯坦认为，全面的人文教育实际上会在长期内带来更高的薪资。鲁宾斯坦在私募股权领域（这是收入最高的行业之一）的成功就证明了他的这一观点。)”可推知，大卫·鲁宾斯坦对人文教育的看法是它能为职业生涯带来更高的收入潜力。故选B项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“As students receive their GCSE results, I urge them to stay open to different subjects and career paths, maximizing their enjoyment of learning and ensuring diverse, well-rounded workforces.( 当学生们收到他们的普通中等教育证书考试成绩时，我鼓励他们要对不同的学科和职业道路保持开放的态度，最大限度地享受学习过程，并确保培养出多元化、全面发展的劳动力队伍。)”可推知，作者建议学生保持广泛的学术兴趣。故选A项。 D Nearly one-third of American adolescents and adults are affected by anxiety, according to the National Institute of Mental Health. In fact, over the last decade, anxiety has surpassed depression as the most common reason college students seek counseling (咨询) services, the New York Times reported. Sixty-two percent of undergraduates in survey reported “unbearable anxiety,” a significant increase from 50 percent in 2011. Anxiety, along with depression, cuts across all demographics (人口群体), including both privileged and disadvantaged teenagers. But privileged teens are among the most emotionally upset youth in America, Arizona State University psychology professor Suniya Luthar told the New York Times. “These kids are incredibly anxious and perfectionistic,” Suniya Luthar said, “there’s always one more activity, one more A. P. class, one more thing to do in order to get into a top college. Kids have a sense that they’re not measuring up. The pressure is never-ending and getting worse.” But helicopter parents aren’t always to blame. “Many students internalize the anxiety and put the pressure on themselves”, Madeline Levine, co-founder of Challenge Success, a nonprofit aimed at improving student well-being, told the Times. Another expert, psychiatrist Stephanie Eken, said despite the cultural differences, there’s a lot of overlap among teens regarding what makes them anxious. Eken mentions factors range from school, family conflicts, what food to eat, diseases, how they’re perceived by friends and notably in the last few years, Eken told the Times, to a rising fear about terrorism. “They wonder about whether it’s safe to go to a movie theater,” she said. A lack of close, meaningful relationships is also a major factor. Experts have long said mental and physical changes associated with puberty (青春期) may leave teens at higher risk for anxiety. “And social media doesn’t help”, Eken said, adding that teens are always comparing themselves with their friends, which leaves them miserable. When Times reporter Benoit Denizet-Lewis visited Mountain Valey, a nonprofit that offers teens need-based assistance for $910 a day, a college student at the facility said, “I don’t think we realize how much it’s affecting our moods and personalities. Social media is a tool, but it’s become this thing that we can’t live without but that’s making us crazy.” 12. What is the first paragraph mainly about? A. A growing trend of anxiety in teenagers. B. A report on mental health of adolescents. C. Widespread psychological disorders among adults. D. A national survey on the mental health of teenagers. 13. What does Suniya Luthar suggest about privileged teenagers? A. They face excessive parental expectations. B. They experience less anxiety than underprivileged teens. C. Their pressure often comes from themselves, not from others. D. They struggle with severe anxiety under pressure of perfection. 14. Why did Eken list the factors in paragraph 4? A. To highlight examples of cultural differences. B. To stress the role of meaningful relationships. C. To identify various sources of stress and anxiety. D. To show how daily events affect psychological health. 15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Is anxiety increasing in the United States? B. Why are more US teens suffering from anxiety? C. How is social media affecting teens with anxiety? D. How do we help teenagers deal with mental illness? 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。本文通过数据指出美国青少年焦虑问题日益严重，且优渥家庭的青少年是高发群体之一；随后分析了焦虑的多种诱因，包括学业上的完美主义压力、自我施压、学业家庭等多重外界因素、人际关系缺失以及社交媒体的负面影响。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Nearly one-third of American adolescents and adults are affected by anxiety, according to the National Institute of Mental Health. In fact, over the last decade, anxiety has surpassed depression as the most common reason college students seek counseling (咨询) services, the New York Times reported. Sixty-two percent of undergraduates in survey reported “unbearable anxiety,” a significant increase from 50 percent in 2011.( 据美国国家心理健康研究所的数据，近三分之一的美国青少年和成年人患有焦虑症。《纽约时报》报道，事实上，在过去十年中，焦虑症已超过抑郁症，成为大学生寻求咨询服务的最常见原因。在一项调查中，62%的本科生表示“承受着难以忍受的焦虑”，这一比例较 2011 年的 50%有了显著提高。)”可知，第一段主要讲的是青少年焦虑情绪日益加剧的趋势。故选A项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中““These kids are incredibly anxious and perfectionistic,” Suniya Luthar said, “there’s always one more activity, one more A. P. class, one more thing to do in order to get into a top college. Kids have a sense that they’re not measuring up. The pressure is never-ending and getting worse.”(“这些孩子极度焦虑且追求完美，”苏尼娅·卢塔尔说，“总是要多参加一项活动、多拿一个A.P. 课程、多做一件事，以便能进入顶尖大学。孩子们觉得自己达不到标准。压力永无止境，而且还在不断加剧。”)”可推知，优渥家庭的青少年在追求完美的压力下承受着严重焦虑。故选D项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Another expert, psychiatrist Stephanie Eken, said despite the cultural differences, there’s a lot of overlap among teens regarding what makes them anxious. Eken mentions factors range from school, family conflicts, what food to eat, diseases, how they’ re perceived by friends and notably in the last few years, Eken told the Times, to a rising fear about terrorism.( 另一位专家、精神科医生斯蒂芬妮·埃肯表示，尽管存在文化差异，但青少年们对于引发焦虑的因素有着诸多共同之处。埃肯提到，这些因素包括学校、家庭冲突、饮食选择、疾病、朋友如何看待他们，而在过去几年里，她告诉《纽约时报》，还有一种显著的变化，那就是对恐怖主义的日益恐惧。)”可推知，埃肯列举这些内容，是为了明确导致青少年焦虑的各类压力来源。故选C项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章第一段用数据说明美国青少年焦虑问题加剧；第二至五段分析焦虑的诱因，包括追求完美的学业压力、自我施压、学业家庭等多种压力源、人际关系缺失、社交媒体的负面影响。核心是探究美国青少年焦虑高发的原因。由此可知，这篇文章的最佳标题是“为什么越来越多的美国青少年患有焦虑症？”。故选B项。 第二节（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。 “Let’s brainstorm together!” You might often hear your teachers ask you to have a group discussion to solve a problem. But is brainstorm really a good way to deal with a problem, especially creative ones? The Dutch company WeTransfer conducted a survey of 20,000 creatives from 197 countries and regions. ____16____. The survey results suggested that brainstorming is largely unhelpful for solving a creative challenge. “____17____. However it seems that while working together is essential to bring an idea to life, it’s not that good for shaping ideas in the first place,” noted Rob Alderson, WeTransfer’s former editor-in-chief. “Send people off with the time and space to think properly and the quality of their ideas will probably improve,” Alderson added. In fact, Alex Osborn, the father of brainstorming, also sees spending time alone to think as part of his own creative process. However, most companies fail to give their employees a chance to prepare and form their thoughts. ____18____. More than 40 percent of participants see meetings as a barrier to good thinking. That’s a worrying number given almost 90 percent of participants work in creative fields which rise and fall on the power of good ideas. Independent thinking is also crucial when making decisions. Nearly 80 percent of participants in the survey say they trust their own instincts and research when evaluating an idea. ____19____. Though the growing body of evidence suggests brainstorming may not result in the best ideas, it isn’t entirely useless. ____20____. If nothing else, practicing brainstorming promotes team cohesion (凝聚力) and trust. A. It proved the risks of this form of group thinking B. Only 18 percent will run an idea past colleagues and friends C. In the creative world, we hear an awful lot about collaboration D. They include writers, musicians, photographers and podcasts E. They often have many meetings scheduled which is a killer of creativity F. They should place as much, if not more, faith in the individual imagination G. A Northern Illinois University study emphasized its value as a team-building activity 【答案】16. D 17. C 18. E 19. B 20. G 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章通过调研指出，头脑风暴对创意问题解决作用有限，独立思考更利于产生优质想法，过多会议扼杀创造力；但该方式可作为团建活动，提升团队凝聚力。 【16题详解】 根据上文“The Dutch company WeTransfer conducted a survey of 20,000 creatives from 197 countries and regions.(荷兰的WeTransfer公司对来自197个国家和地区的20000名创意人士进行了调查)”可知，上文提到该公司调查了来自197个国家和地区的20000名创意工作者，D选项“这些人包括作家、音乐家、摄影师和播客创作者”具体列举了这些创意工作者的职业（作家、音乐家、摄影师、播客创作者），是对上文creatives的补充说明，衔接自然。故选D。 【17题详解】 根据后文“However, it seems that while working together is essential to bring an idea to life, it’s not that good for shaping ideas in the first place,” noted Rob Alderson, WeTransfer’s former editor-in-chief.(然而，罗布·阿尔德森（WeTransfer前主编）指出：“虽然团队合作对于将想法付诸实践至关重要，但就最初构思想法而言，这种合作效果并不理想。”)”可知，下文出现转折词However，且核心内容为“团队合作对实现想法很必要，但不利于初步构思想法”，C选项“在创意领域，我们经常听到关于合作的诸多讨论”提出创意领域常被提及的“合作、协作”这一话题，与后文的转折逻辑完美契合。故选C。 【18题详解】 根据上文“However, most companies fail to give their employees a chance to prepare and form their thoughts.(然而，大多数公司都不给员工提供充分的准备时间，也不让他们有机会整理自己的想法)”以及下文“More than 40 percent of participants see meetings as a barrier to good thinking.(超过40%的参与者认为会议会阻碍他们进行良好的思考)”可知，上文指出多数公司不给员工准备和梳理思路的机会，后句表明超40%的受访者认为会议是独立思考的障碍，E选项“他们经常安排大量的会议，这会扼杀创造力”承接上文，说明企业频繁安排会议的行为，直接点出这种行为是创造力的杀手，与下文形成呼应。故选E。 【19题详解】 根据上文“Nearly 80 percent of participants in the survey say they trust their own instincts and research when evaluating an idea.(在此次调查中，近80%的参与者表示，在评估一个想法时，他们会依据自己的直觉和相关研究来进行判断)”可知，上文数据为“近80%的受访者在评估想法时相信自己的直觉和研究”，B选项“仅有18%的人会把自己的想法先和同事、朋友聊聊征求意见”给出另一组对比数据（仅18%的人会把想法告知同事朋友），用具体百分比印证前文“独立思考、相信自身判断”的观点。故选B。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Though the growing body of evidence suggests brainstorming may not result in the best ideas, it isn’t entirely useless.(尽管越来越多的证据表明头脑风暴法未必能产生最佳的创意，但它也并非完全毫无用处)”以及下文“If nothing else, practicing brainstorming promotes team cohesion (凝聚力) and trust.(即便没有其他效果，进行头脑风暴练习也能增强团队的凝聚力和信任度)”可知，前句说明头脑风暴并非完全无用，后句强调其能提升团队凝聚力与信任，G选项“北伊利诺伊大学的一项研究强调了这种活动作为团队建设活动的价值”引用大学研究，点明头脑风暴作为团队建设活动的价值，既呼应“并非完全无用”，又衔接后文的团队凝聚力相关内容。故选G。 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A.

Every time he heard that sound, Michael’s heart felt heavy. He shifted uncomfortably in his seat, trying to focus on the show, but his mind continued to drift to thoughts of all the damage his dad was doing to his lungs by smoking. Michael just didn’t understand. His dad was a great dad-he spent a lot of his spare time with him playing outside and watching TV. Plus, he was really smart, so why would he be so stupid as to risk his health by smoking? What if it caused an early death? Had he ever considered how heartbroken it would make him and his mom? Michael’s mind wandered back to a conversation he had overheard between his parents. His mom had been pleading (恳求) with his dad, her voice full of worry. “You need to think about your health, for Michael’s sake if not for your own,” she had said. But his dad just brushed her off, saying he was too stressed to quit. One evening, Michael approached his mom to discuss the issue. “I’ve tried to persuade him to quit,” Michael’s mom expressed with a sigh. “But he always gets annoyed whenever I bring up the subject.” She looked tired and defeated. “At least your dad is considerate (为他人着想的) with his smoking; he never does it indoors or around others. He even changes his clothes to prevent us from smelling the smoke. Despite that, it's still so hard on him, on us...” The next day at school, Michael was playing basketball with his classmate Tim on the court. “Hey, does either of your parents smoke?” he asked. “Yeah, my dad smokes, but he’s cut down in the past year,” replied Tim. “Oh, how did he do that?" Michael asked curiously. “I don’t really know what happened. I guess he just realized it was time for a change,” said Tim, as he threw the ball back to Michael. This gave Michael a ray of hope and an idea. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Michael decided to take action, hoping to encourage his dad to change. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day, Michael found a bittersweet reply from his dad on his bed. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】续写参考： Michael decided to take action, hoping to encourage his dad to change. He started by moving his dad’s cigarettes from their usual spot and replacing them with printed statistics about the harmful effects of smoking. He also hid the cigarette lighters, thinking that even a small inconvenience might help. Moreover, he spent hours researching online, finding stories of people who had successfully quit, hoping they would inspire his dad. Finally, he wrote a heartfelt letter titled “Please Stop Smoking” and left it on his dad’s pillow. The next day, Michael found a bittersweet reply from his dad on his bed. It read, “Son, I truly appreciate your efforts. I know that smoking is bad for me, and I want to stop too, but it’s tough and painful.” Recognizing his dad’s struggle, Michael adjusted his approach by providing more support. He engaged his dad in open conversations, researched quitting methods together and attended counseling sessions. Michael’s love and understanding guided his dad through the quitting process. Over time, his dad’s interest in quitting grew, and with Michael’s continuous encouragement, he managed to reduce his cigarette consumption. Together, they celebrated each milestone, showing how love can conquer challenges. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，文章讲述迈克尔一家看电视时，他听到父亲标志性咳嗽，因担忧父亲吸烟伤肺而心情沉重，不解父亲为何不顾健康。他还想起母亲劝说父亲戒烟遭拒，后从同学蒂姆父亲成功减少吸烟中看到希望。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段内容“迈克尔决定采取行动，希望能鼓励爸爸做出改变。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：迈克尔为劝父亲戒烟，采取移烟、藏打火机、找成功案例并写书信等行动。 ②由第二段首句内容“第二天，迈克尔在自己床上发现了爸爸一封喜忧参半的回信。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：父亲给迈克尔回信，感谢其付出并坦言想戒烟却觉艰难。迈克尔调整方式，通过坦诚交流、共研方法、陪做咨询等给予支持，助父亲减少吸烟量，父子共庆每一步进步，彰显爱能战胜挑战。 2.续写线索：迈克尔移烟——藏打火机——写信——父亲回信——迈克尔调整方式——陪同父亲一起努力——用爱战胜挑战 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①开始：start/begin ②代替：replace/take the place of ③鼓舞： inspire/encourage 情绪类 ①真心感激：truly appreciate/really thankful ②痛苦的：painful/distressing/torturous 【点睛】[高分句型1] He also hid the cigarette lighters, thinking that even a small inconvenience might help. （运用了现在分词作状语和that引导的宾语从句） [高分句型2] Moreover, he spent hours researching online, finding stories of people who had successfully quit, hoping they would inspire his dad.（运用了现在分词作状语、who引导的定语从句和省略that的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
