When Will Fall Leaves Peak For You? — Late September or Early October: The Rockies, the northern parts of Minnesota through Michigan and a stretch from upstate New York to northern New England see peak color first. — Mid to Late October: Potential for peak fall color advances through the Midwest into the Appalachians and much of the Northeast in mid to late October. Most other areas in the western region, including valleys, see fall’s brightest color by this time of year as well. — November: Much of the mid-Atlantic coast and the South are the last holdouts to see peak color in November. Why Do Leaves Change Color? A shorter amount of daylight is the primary factor for the color of the leaves to begin to change. As nights grow longer and cooler, production of the green pigment (色素) slows and eventually stops. This allows the yellow and orange pigments to shine through, revealing the many beautiful colors of fall. What Makes A Good Colorful Season? Location matters: Higher altitudes and northern latitudes cool first, causing earlier color changes. Weather’s role: The perfect recipe includes warm, sunny days paired with cool nighttime temperatures. Soil moisture (湿度): Sufficient soil moisture through spring and summer can help increase the chances of the colorful leaves. Wind warning: If a strong windstorm affects an area that’s near peak color, then it can tear off leaves from trees to some extent, reducing the display of peak color. So grab your camera, plan your trip, and get ready for nature’s colorful delight! 1. When can you enjoy peak fall color in valleys of the western region? A. Late September. B. Early October. C. Late October. D. Mid November. 2. What mainly causes the change of leaf colors? A. Rainy nights in autumn. B. Reduced daylight hours. C. Uncovered pigments. D. Rising temperature. 3. What may ruin the full display of peak color? A. The wet soil. B. The tree species. C. The hot summer. D. The severe storm. B When James Shapland spotted a gap in the market for a dog-friendly café that was half-way between a tiny trendy coffee shop and a large chain, he started one himself, Coffi Lab — coffi is Welsh for coffee and the lab refers to Labradors (a breed of dog). It’s not his first try in coffee shops. He sold his first business, Coffee #1, in 2011 for about £10 million to SA Brain, the Welsh brewer. However, he missed his business after the sale. He spent 2017 on a plan for a sourdough café, inspired by the success of the pizza chain Franco Manca, but shelved the idea because “the market seemed a little too good to be true”. In 2020, he sensed an unmet need for cafés that had enough “space to take my labrador in”. His plan was to open coffee shops big enough for dogs and their owners, with friendly staff selling good food and coffee. Coffi Lab also donates the profits from the homemade dog biscuits it sells, plus first-day takings from each store it opens. So far, it has raised more than £100,000 for Guide Dogs charity and sponsored 11 dogs in training. Coffi Lab now has 11 sites, with number 12 opening soon in Pontcanna, and three more over the next year in Wiltshire and Shropshire, all within 100 miles from its base in Cardiff. “I feel quite strongly about being able to visit frequently, so it’s not going to become a one-a-week blind expansion,” he said. Coffi Lab began doing its own baking in 2023 when Shapland decided that buying in pre-packaged baked goods and sandwiches wouldn’t keep customers coming back. “When you do that, you end up with average food that you’re selling for £5 and it’s not what people want” — especially when they are paying £4 for a coffee. 4. What sets Coffi Lab apart in the first two paragraphs? A. A middle-positioned café concept. B. A sourdough café plan. C. A former Coffee #1 brand. D. A pizza-chain model. 5. What does Coffi Lab do besides serving food and coffee? A. Provide dog training sessions. B. Run a dog welfare foundation. C. Donate dog biscuits to charity. D. Fund a dog charitable organization. 6. Which word best describes Shapland’s business approach? A. Thoughtless. B. Strategic. C. Idealistic. D. Careful. 7. What does the underlined part in the last paragraph mean? A. Coffee prices have been rising. B. Food shouldn’t cost more than coffee. C. Food and coffee should be priced reasonably. D. Customers expect better food for their money. C For its prey (猎物), a cone snail is a deadly threat — its tiny size hides enough venom (毒液) in one sting to kill. Surprisingly, that same venom may also have medical value, especially in helping people sleep. Previous research has shown that toxins from cone snails can be used as painkillers. Recently, Indian scientists Jayaseelan B. Franklin and R. P. Rajesh discovered that some of these toxins may also cause sleep. They studied a rarely researched species, the cobweb cone snail (Conus araneosus), which lives in the Gulf of Mannar, and searched its venom for useful compounds. Cone snail venom contains hundreds of small molecules called peptides (肽), known as conotoxins (芋螺毒素). Franklin and Rajesh isolated 14 peptides and selected five for further study. After the substances were purified, they were given to lab mice. The results were fast and surprising: within two to four minutes, the mice fell asleep and remained so for about two hours. Higher doses led to longer sleep. According to Franklin, the mice only fully returned to normal activity after nine or ten hours. These findings are important because they suggest possible treatments for human sleep problems such as insomnia and sleep apnea. “Finding the mechanism that caused this effect on the mice will open up future applications including drug development,” says Franklin. Cone snails hunt slowly but rely on powerful toxins to stop prey instantly. Their venom is delivered through a harpoon-like tooth that blocks normal cellular function, leaving the victim unable to move. Scientists have long been interested in cone snail venom, and over 100 conotoxins are currently being tested for treating diseases including cancer pain, epilepsy, and Parkinson’s disease. In 2004, a cone snail-based painkiller stronger than morphine was approved for medical use. With around 800 cone snail species, each producing hundreds of unique peptides, researchers believe there is still much to discover. 8. What is the most important conclusion about cone snails drawn from the passage? A. They hunt swiftly with harpoon-like teeth. B. They produce venom with multiple effects. C. They are dangerous to humans. D. Their toxins work in only one way. 9. Which statement is NOT supported by the research? A. The effect was tested on mice. B. Higher doses caused longer sleep. C. The venom works in humans. D. More research is still needed. 10. What can be inferred about future research? A. Most cone snails are dangerous. B. Venom studies are nearly complete. C. Many useful peptides remain unknown. D. Sleep drugs will appear soon. 11. What might be the best title for the passage? A. A New Discovery of Cone Snail Venom B. How Cone Snails Hunt Prey Efficiently C. The Development of Cone Snail-Based Drugs D. Sleepless? Cone Snail Venom Offers New Hope D Gen Z is changing the rules of work, and the results are redefining what professional success looks like in 2025. According to a new Glassdoor report, “career minimalism” is at the heart of this shift. In Glassdoor’s survey of more than 1,000 U. S. professionals, a striking 68% of Gen Z respondents said they wouldn’t pursue management if it weren’t for paycheck or title, signaling a rejection of the traditional corporate climb favored by previous generations and a belief that management is something of a poisonous chalice (圣杯). The survey, however, is somewhat at odds with other data collected by Glassdoor. Daniel Zhao, chief economist for the company, told Fortune that an earlier report had found Gen Z entering the ranks of management at the same rates as older generations did. “Management is not for everybody, and that’s okay,” he said, “but it is still seen as the best path for climbing the career ladder.” What the new survey suggests is that management is now seen as a career-ladder move, not something good in its own right. Gen Z approaches life’s traditional milestones with “reasoned skepticism”. They are hungry for coaching and welcome in-office collaboration yet also desire the death of the nine-to-five mentality and embrace flexibility. If Gen Z isn’t less ambitious yet isn’t thrilled about corporate management, where’s that energy going? The report cited Harris Poll findings that 57% of Gen Z currently have a side hustle (副业) compared to 48% of millennials and 31% of Gen Xers. Side hustles are central to Gen Z’s identity, offering creative or activist outlets that main jobs cannot supply. For many, the “day job” simply finances the “passion project” — as one Glassdoor community member put it: “I always joke that I don’t dream of labor... If people were truly passionate about their job, it wouldn’t pay anything. Passion is for your five-nine after the nine-five.” When Gen Zers do move into management, Glassdoor finds that they’re rewriting the traditional textbook. Gen Z is reconsidering what it means to be successful at work in this moment. They’re not rejecting ambition — they’re redirecting it toward sustainable career paths that prioritize both financial security and personal fulfillment. 12. Why is Daniel Zhao quoted in paragraph 3? A. To draw attention to a new concept. B. To confirm the accuracy of the report. C. To raise awareness of a worrying trend. D. To offer another perspective on the survey. 13. What do we know about Gen Z at work? A. They value titles over personal time. B. They avoid cooperating with colleagues. C. They seek guidance from senior staff. D. They prefer fixed nine-to-five hours. 14. What factors may Gen Z consider in side hustles? A. High pay and grand titles. B. Short hours and easy work. C. Personal identity and flexibility. D. Benefits and working conditions. 15. What is the professional success defined by Gen Z? A. Earning money with meaning. B. Winning power through effort. C. Dropping promotion for hobbies. D. Staying put for financial security. 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 A Song for Love — An Ape with an App Two wild apes have a professor and a pop star to act as high-tech matchmakers (红娘)! ____16____ Our young would-be lovers are Skywalker Gibbons (天行者长臂猿), a new ape species announced in 2017. With only a handful left in the Gaoligong Mountains on the China-Myanmar border, every couple matters. Singing is central to a gibbon’s life, and their calls can travel for miles. Deep in the jungle, a lone female sings each morning, in the hope of winning a life-long partner. A single male lives twenty miles away — but they can’t find each other over the long distance. ____17____ Without help, they may never find each other. That help comes from an unlikely duo: Beijing pop star Xingyu Lee and Professor Fan, leader of the research team on Skywalker Gibbons. They have designed and built a system of microphones and speakers that link two locations across the jungle. ____18____ In human terms, they have an effective dating app — and it has the gibbon scientists of the world buzzing. Professor Fan is determined to make an all-wild match. ____19____ They duet (二重唱), and as one gibbon searches for the other, drawn by the songs, Fan and Lee move the speakers, and guide the gibbons through the jungle maze until they are within natural earshot. ____20____ The landscape is steep, and the equipment must be moved again and again to guide the singers closer. Scientists like Fan works with local villagers, even poachers and city engineers to keep the system running in the wild. The project becomes a rare partnership between people who once lived off the forest and those who now seek to save it. Thanks to a dating app and a wild love song down the telephone, the two Skywalker Gibbons are now about to meet — a match that could determine the future of a species. A. Still, many challenges remain. B. For the first time, wild gibbons can sing together. C. Professor Fan has spent many years studying rare apes. D. In a first attempt, he connects a wild pair by telephone. E. It’s a crisis for a rare species, and calls for an immediate solution. F. Despite the challenges villagers and engineers work hand in hand. G. The story is as dramatic as any opera and may decide the future of a species. 第三部分：语言运用 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节：完形填空 (共15个小题；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和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Last month, I talked about my recreational shopping on my social media.

She had no choice but moved from New Zealand to Canada to live with her father Thomas. Thomas was an inventor, living on a farm. He brought Amy back to his mossy house, which had not been cleaned up for years. Most of the rooms in the house were used for storing his gliders (滑翔机) and their parts. One day, Amy happened to see Thomas testing his glider but he soon crashed in the surrounding field. Scared and unsure if her father was all right, Amy heard his father’s shout of triumph (胜利). She couldn’t understand her father’s strange behavior so that she barely talked with him. “My new life is absolutely miserable!” Amy thought with tears in her eyes. It was not until Amy found the eggs that her life changed. While exploring the area around the farm, Amy discovered an abandoned nest of 16 goose eggs under a fallen tree. She gathered all of the eggs and brought them back to the barn where she took a heating lamp to provide light and warmth for them. One afternoon after school, Amy was thrilled to discover all of the eggs had hatched (孵化). The baby geese and Amy looked at each other and a bond immediately formed. The geese assumed Amy, the first thing they saw, was their mother. Amy asked his father, “Can I keep the baby geese, please?” “Yes,” “Thomas agreed. Although he knew there would be a lot of challenges waiting for them, it might be a chance to improve their relationship. Looking after the baby geese very carefully Amy even named all of them like a real mother. Soon winter arrived, it was the time for migrant birds like geese to go south for the cold days. Thomas made a great many attempts to teach the geese to fly but none of them followed him. They just stuck close to Amy all the time. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Frustrated, Thomas decided to teach Amy, their “mother”, how to fly. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally that day came, Thomas and Amy each flew a glider, leading the geese towards south. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 杭州第四中学2025学年第一学期高二年级期末考试 英语试题卷 考生须知： 1. 本试卷分试题卷和答题卷，满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 2. 答题前，在答题卷上填写班级、姓名、试场号、座位号，并填涂卡号。 3. 所有答案必须写在答题卷上，写在试题卷上无效。 4. 考试结束，只上交答题卷。 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，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.

Most other areas in the western region, including valleys, see fall’s brightest color by this time of year as well.(十月中下旬：中西部地区的秋叶最佳观赏期会逐步延伸至阿巴拉契亚山脉和东北部的大部分地区。西部地区的其他大部分地区，包括山谷，每年到这个时候也能看到秋天最绚烂的色彩。)”可知，西部地区的山谷在十月中下旬能观赏到秋叶的最佳色彩。故选C项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Why Do Leaves Change Color?”部分中的“A shorter amount of daylight is the primary factor for the color of the leaves to begin to change.(日照时间变短是树叶开始变色的主要因素。)”可知，日照时长的减少是导致树叶颜色发生变化的主要原因。故选B项。 3题详解】 细节理解题。根据“What Makes A Good Colorful Season?”部分中的“Wind warning: If a strong windstorm affects an area that’s near peak color, then it can tear off leaves from trees to some extent, reducing the display of peak color.(大风预警：如果强风暴影响到即将迎来秋叶最佳观赏期的地区，那么它会在一定程度上吹落树上的叶子，降低最佳观赏期的景观效果。)”可知，强风暴可能会破坏秋叶最佳观赏期的完整景观。故选D项。 B When James Shapland spotted a gap in the market for a dog-friendly café that was half-way between a tiny, trendy coffee shop and a large chain, he started one himself, Coffi Lab — coffi is Welsh for coffee and the lab refers to Labradors (a breed of dog). It’s not his first try in coffee shops. He sold his first business, Coffee #1, in 2011 for about £10 million to SA Brain, the Welsh brewer. However, he missed his business after the sale. He spent 2017 on a plan for a sourdough café, inspired by the success of the pizza chain Franco Manca, but shelved the idea because “the market seemed a little too good to be true”. In 2020, he sensed an unmet need for cafés that had enough “space to take my labrador in”. His plan was to open coffee shops big enough for dogs and their owners, with friendly staff selling good food and coffee. Coffi Lab also donates the profits from the homemade dog biscuits it sells, plus first-day takings from each store it opens. So far, it has raised more than £100,000 for Guide Dogs charity and sponsored 11 dogs in training. Coffi Lab now has 11 sites, with number 12 opening soon in Pontcanna, and three more over the next year in Wiltshire and Shropshire, all within 100 miles from its base in Cardiff. “I feel quite strongly about being able to visit frequently, so it’s not going to become a one-a-week blind expansion,” he said. Coffi Lab began doing its own baking in 2023, when Shapland decided that buying in pre-packaged baked goods and sandwiches wouldn’t keep customers coming back. “When you do that, you end up with average food that you’re selling for £5 and it’s not what people want” — especially when they are paying £4 for a coffee. 4. What sets Coffi Lab apart in the first two paragraphs? A. A middle-positioned café concept. B. A sourdough café plan. C. A former Coffee #1 brand. D. A pizza-chain model. 5. What does Coffi Lab do besides serving food and coffee? A. Provide dog training sessions. B. Run a dog welfare foundation. C. Donate dog biscuits to charity. D. Fund a dog charitable organization. 6. Which word best describes Shapland’s business approach? A. Thoughtless. B. Strategic. C. Idealistic. D. Careful. 7. What does the underlined part in the last paragraph mean? A. Coffee prices have been rising. B. Food shouldn’t cost more than coffee. C. Food and coffee should be priced reasonably. D. Customers expect better food for their money. 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了James Shapland创立的Coffi Lab，一家对狗狗友好的咖啡馆及其经营理念和发展情况。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“When James Shapland spotted a gap in the market for a dog-friendly café that was half-way between a tiny, trendy coffee shop and a large chain, he started one himself, Coffi Lab (当詹姆斯·沙普兰 (James Shapland)发现市场上存在一个空白，即一家介于小型时尚咖啡馆和大型连锁店之间的对狗狗友好的咖啡馆时，他自己创办了一家，名为Coffi Lab)”可知，Coffi Lab的独特之处在于其介于小型时尚咖啡馆和大型连锁店之间的咖啡馆概念。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Coffi Lab also donates the profits from the homemade dog biscuits it sells, plus first-day takings from each store it opens. So far, it has raised more than £100,000 for Guide Dogs charity and sponsored 11 dogs in training. (Coffi Lab还捐赠其出售的自制狗饼干所得的利润，以及每家新店开业首日的收入。到目前为止，它已经为导盲犬慈善机构筹集了超过10万英镑的资金，并赞助了11只在训的导盲犬)”可知，Coffi Lab除了提供食物和咖啡外，还资助导盲犬慈善机构。故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“However, he missed his business after the sale. He spent 2017 on a plan for a sourdough café, inspired by the success of the pizza chain Franco Manca, but shelved the idea because “the market seemed a little too good to be true”.(然而，出售业务后，他怀念自己的生意。2017年，他受披萨连锁店Franco Manca成功的启发，制定了一个酸面包咖啡馆的计划，但后来搁置了这个想法，因为“市场看起来好得令人难以置信”)”以及后文对Coffi Lab的详细规划可知，沙普兰在经营上是有策略的。故选B。 【7题详解】 词句猜测题。根据最后一段“When you do that, you end up with average food that you’re selling for £5 and it’s not what people want” — especially when they are paying £4 for a coffee. (当你这样做时，你最终会得到平均水平的食物，却以5英镑的价格出售，而这并不是人们想要的——尤其是当他们为咖啡支付4英镑时)”可知，顾客花了钱，希望能买到品质更好的食物（咖啡4英镑，那么面包和三明治的价格应高于咖啡，即，品质应更好），而非普通的食品，所以划线部分的意思是顾客期望用他们支付的钱买到更好的食物。故选D。 C For its prey (猎物), a cone snail is a deadly threat — its tiny size hides enough venom (毒液) in one sting to kill. Surprisingly, that same venom may also have medical value, especially in helping people sleep. Previous research has shown that toxins from cone snails can be used as painkillers. Recently, Indian scientists Jayaseelan B. Franklin and R. P. Rajesh discovered that some of these toxins may also cause sleep. They studied a rarely researched species, the cobweb cone snail (Conus araneosus), which lives in the Gulf of Mannar, and searched its venom for useful compounds. Cone snail venom contains hundreds of small molecules called peptides (肽), known as conotoxins (芋螺毒素). Franklin and Rajesh isolated 14 peptides and selected five for further study. After the substances were purified, they were given to lab mice. The results were fast and surprising: within two to four minutes, the mice fell asleep and remained so for about two hours. Higher doses led to longer sleep. According to Franklin, the mice only fully returned to normal activity after nine or ten hours. These findings are important because they suggest possible treatments for human sleep problems such as insomnia and sleep apnea. “Finding the mechanism that caused this effect on the mice will open up future applications including drug development,” says Franklin. Cone snails hunt slowly but rely on powerful toxins to stop prey instantly. Their venom is delivered through a harpoon-like tooth that blocks normal cellular function, leaving the victim unable to move. Scientists have long been interested in cone snail venom, and over 100 conotoxins are currently being tested for treating diseases including cancer pain, epilepsy, and Parkinson’s disease. In 2004, a cone snail-based painkiller stronger than morphine was approved for medical use. With around 800 cone snail species, each producing hundreds of unique peptides, researchers believe there is still much to discover. 8. What is the most important conclusion about cone snails drawn from the passage? A. They hunt swiftly with harpoon-like teeth. B. They produce venom with multiple effects. C. They are dangerous to humans. D. Their toxins work in only one way. 9. Which statement is NOT supported by the research? A. The effect was tested on mice. B. Higher doses caused longer sleep. C. The venom works in humans. D. More research is still needed. 10. What can be inferred about future research? A. Most cone snails are dangerous. B. Venom studies are nearly complete. C. Many useful peptides remain unknown. D. Sleep drugs will appear soon. 11. What might be the best title for the passage? A. A New Discovery of Cone Snail Venom B. How Cone Snails Hunt Prey Efficiently C. The Development of Cone Snail-Based Drugs D. Sleepless? Cone Snail Venom Offers New Hope 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了芋螺的毒液不仅致命，还可能具有医疗价值，尤其在助眠方面展现出潜力，为人类睡眠问题提供新希望。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“For its prey (猎物), a cone snail is a deadly threat — its tiny size hides enough venom (毒液) in one sting to kill. (对于猎物来说，芋螺是一种致命的威胁——它小小的身体里隐藏着足以致命的毒液)”和第五段“Scientists have long been interested in cone snail venom, and over 100 conotoxins are currently being tested for treating diseases including cancer pain, epilepsy, and Parkinson’s disease. (科学家们长期以来一直对芋螺毒液感兴趣，目前有超过100种芋螺毒素正在接受测试，用于治疗包括癌症疼痛、癫痫和帕金森病在内的疾病)”可知，芋螺的毒液有多种效果。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“After the substances were purified, they were given to lab mice. The results were fast and surprising: within two to four minutes, the mice fell asleep and remained so for about two hours. Higher doses led to longer sleep. (物质纯化后，被给予实验室小鼠。结果既快又令人惊讶：在两到四分钟内，小鼠就睡着了，并且持续了大约两个小时。剂量越高，睡眠时间越长)”和第四段“Finding the mechanism that caused this effect on the mice will open up future applications including drug development (找到对小鼠产生这种影响的机制，将为未来的应用包括药物开发打开大门)”可知，实验是在小鼠身上进行的，剂量越高，睡眠时间越长，但仍需要更多的研究。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“With around 800 cone snail species, each producing hundreds of unique peptides, researchers believe there is still much to discover. (大约有800种芋螺，每种都能产生数百种独特的肽，研究人员认为仍有许多有待发现)”可知，许多有用的肽仍然未知。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Surprisingly, that same venom may also have medical value, especially in helping people sleep. (令人惊讶的是，同样的毒液也可能具有医疗价值，尤其是在帮助人们睡眠方面)”和第四段“These findings are important because they suggest possible treatments for human sleep problems such as insomnia and sleep apnea. (这些发现很重要，因为它们为人类睡眠问题，如失眠和睡眠呼吸暂停，提供了可能的治疗方法)”可知，本文主要介绍了芋螺毒液在助眠方面的新发现，为人类睡眠问题提供新希望，所以“睡不着？芋螺毒液带来新希望”适合作为文章标题。故选D。 D Gen Z is changing the rules of work, and the results are redefining what professional success looks like in 2025. According to a new Glassdoor report, “career minimalism” is at the heart of this shift. In Glassdoor’s survey of more than 1,000 U. S. professionals, a striking 68% of Gen Z respondents said they wouldn’t pursue management if it weren’t for paycheck or title, signaling a rejection of the traditional corporate climb favored by previous generations and a belief that management is something of a poisonous chalice (圣杯). The survey, however, is somewhat at odds with other data collected by Glassdoor. Daniel Zhao, chief economist for the company, told Fortune that an earlier report had found Gen Z entering the ranks of management at the same rates as older generations did. “Management is not for everybody, and that’s okay,” he said, “but it is still seen as the best path for climbing the career ladder.” What the new survey suggests is that management is now seen as a career-ladder move, not something good in its own right. Gen Z approaches life’s traditional milestones with “reasoned skepticism”. They are hungry for coaching and welcome in-office collaboration yet also desire the death of the nine-to-five mentality and embrace flexibility. If Gen Z isn’t less ambitious yet isn’t thrilled about corporate management, where’s that energy going? The report cited Harris Poll findings that 57% of Gen Z currently have a side hustle (副业) compared to 48% of millennials and 31% of Gen Xers. Side hustles are central to Gen Z’s identity, offering creative or activist outlets that main jobs cannot supply. For many, the “day job” simply finances the “passion project” — as one Glassdoor community member put it: “I always joke that I don’t dream of labor... If people were truly passionate about their job, it wouldn’t pay anything. Passion is for your five-nine after the nine-five.” When Gen Zers do move into management, Glassdoor finds that they’re rewriting the traditional textbook. Gen Z is reconsidering what it means to be successful at work in this moment. They’re not rejecting ambition — they’re redirecting it toward sustainable career paths that prioritize both financial security and personal fulfillment. 12. Why is Daniel Zhao quoted in paragraph 3? A. To draw attention to a new concept. B. To confirm the accuracy of the report. C. To raise awareness of a worrying trend. D To offer another perspective on the survey. 13. What do we know about Gen Z at work? A. They value titles over personal time. B. They avoid cooperating with colleagues. C. They seek guidance from senior staff. D. They prefer fixed nine-to-five hours. 14. What factors may Gen Z consider in side hustles? A. High pay and grand titles. B Short hours and easy work. C. Personal identity and flexibility. D. Benefits and working conditions. 15. What is the professional success defined by Gen Z? A. Earning money with meaning. B. Winning power through effort. C. Dropping promotion for hobbies. D. Staying put for financial security. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了Z世代（Gen Z）如何改变工作规则，以及他们对职业成功的重新定义。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“In Glassdoor’s survey of more than 1,000 U. S. professionals, a striking 68% of Gen Z respondents said they wouldn’t pursue management if it weren’t for paycheck or title, signaling a rejection of the traditional corporate climb favored by previous generations and a belief that management is something of a poisonous chalice (圣杯). ( 在对1000多名美国专业人员进行的一项Glassdoor调查中，高达68%的Gen Z受访者表示，如果不是为了薪水或头衔，他们不会追求管理职位，这表明他们拒绝了几代人所推崇的传统企业晋升道路，并相信管理职位有点像一个有毒的圣杯。)”以及第三段“The survey, however, is somewhat at odds with other data collected by Glassdoor. Daniel Zhao, chief economist for the company, told Fortune that an earlier report had found Gen Z entering the ranks of management at the same rates as older generations did. (然而，这项调查与Glassdoor收集的其他数据有些不一致。该公司首席经济学家Daniel Zhao告诉《财富》杂志，早先的一份报告发现，Z世代进入管理层的人数与年长一代的比例相同。)”可知，上文说新调查显示Z世代对管理职位的态度，这里Daniel Zhao的话给出了与新调查不同的早先报告的情况，也就是提供了关于该调查的另一个视角。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“They are hungry for coaching and welcome in-office collaboration yet also desire the death of the nine-to-five mentality and embrace flexibility.(他们渴望得到指导，欢迎办公室内的合作，但也希望结束朝九晚五的心态，拥抱灵活性。)”可知，工作中的Z世代寻求资深员工的指导。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“Side hustles are central to Gen Z’s identity, offering creative or activist outlets that main jobs cannot supply. For many, the ‘day job’ simply finances the ‘passion project’.(副业是Z世代身份的核心，提供了主业无法提供的创意或活动渠道。对许多人来说，‘日常工作’只是为‘激情项目’提供资金。)”和第六段“I always joke that I don’t dream of labor... If people were truly passionate about their job, it wouldn’t pay anything. Passion is for your five-nine after the nine-five.(我总是开玩笑说，我不梦想劳动……如果人们对自己的工作充满热情，那它就不会有任何报酬。激情是你在朝九晚五之后，从五点到九点所做的事情。)”可知，Z世代在副业中可能会考虑个人身份和灵活性。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“They’re not rejecting ambition — they’re redirecting it toward sustainable career paths that prioritize both financial security and personal fulfillment. (他们并没有拒绝野心——他们正在将野心转向可持续的职业道路，这条道路既重视经济保障，也重视个人成就感。)”可知，Z世代定义的职业成功是既重视经济保障，也重视个人成就感即以有意义的方式赚钱。故选A。 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 A Song for Love — An Ape with an App Two wild apes have a professor and a pop star to act as high-tech matchmakers (红娘)! ____16____ Our young would-be lovers are Skywalker Gibbons (天行者长臂猿), a new ape species announced in 2017. With only a handful left in the Gaoligong Mountains on the China-Myanmar border, every couple matters. Singing is central to a gibbon’s life, and their calls can travel for miles. Deep in the jungle, a lone female sings each morning, in the hope of winning a life-long partner. A single male lives twenty miles away — but they can’t find each other over the long distance. ____17____ Without help, they may never find each other. That help comes from an unlikely duo: Beijing pop star Xingyu Lee and Professor Fan, leader of the research team on Skywalker Gibbons. They have designed and built a system of microphones and speakers that link two locations across the jungle. ____18____ In human terms, they have an effective dating app — and it has the gibbon scientists of the world buzzing. Professor Fan is determined to make an all-wild match. ____19____ They duet (二重唱), and as one gibbon searches for the other, drawn by the songs, Fan and Lee move the speakers, and guide the gibbons through the jungle maze until they are within natural earshot. ____20____ The landscape is steep, and the equipment must be moved again and again to guide the singers closer. Scientists like Fan works with local villagers, even poachers and city engineers to keep the system running in the wild. The project becomes a rare partnership between people who once lived off the forest and those who now seek to save it. Thanks to a dating app and a wild love song down the telephone, the two Skywalker Gibbons are now about to meet — a match that could determine the future of a species. A. Still, many challenges remain. B. For the first time, wild gibbons can sing together. C. Professor Fan has spent many years studying rare apes. D. In a first attempt, he connects a wild pair by telephone. E. It’s a crisis for a rare species, and calls for an immediate solution. F. Despite the challenges, villagers and engineers work hand in hand. G. The story is as dramatic as any opera and may decide the future of a species. 【答案】16. G 17. E 18. B 19. D 20.

She had no choice but moved from New Zealand to Canada to live with her father Thomas. Thomas was an inventor living on a farm. He brought Amy back to his mossy house, which had not been cleaned up for years. Most of the rooms in the house were used for storing his gliders (滑翔机) and their parts. One day, Amy happened to see Thomas testing his glider but he soon crashed in the surrounding field. Scared and unsure if her father was all right, Amy heard his father’s shout of triumph (胜利). She couldn’t understand her father’s strange behavior so that she barely talked with him. “My new life is absolutely miserable!” Amy thought with tears in her eyes. It was not until Amy found the eggs that her life changed. While exploring the area around the farm, Amy discovered an abandoned nest of 16 goose eggs under a fallen tree. She gathered all of the eggs and brought them back to the barn where she took a heating lamp to provide light and warmth for them. One afternoon after school, Amy was thrilled to discover all of the eggs had hatched (孵化). The baby geese and Amy looked at each other and a bond immediately formed. The geese assumed Amy, the first thing they saw, was their mother. Amy asked his father, “Can I keep the baby geese, please?” “Yes,” “Thomas agreed. Although he knew there would be a lot of challenges waiting for them, it might be a chance to improve their relationship. Looking after the baby geese very carefully, Amy even named all of them like a real mother. Soon winter arrived, it was the time for migrant birds like geese to go south for the cold days.

Of course, I will be your teacher.” After hearing the news, Amy felt excited. With father’s help, Amy gradually learned how to fly a glider. Paragraph 2： Finally, that day came, Thomas and Amy each flew a glider, leading the geese towards south. After the incident, Amy considered her father was one of the greatest inventors.
