While past studies claimed wealth weakly affects happiness in rich nations, new findings prove income comparison powerfully shapes joy. The key is “relative wealth” — feeling richer than others brings more happiness than high income or education alone. Researchers analyzed 357 global surveys covering 2.3 million people. Participants ranked themselves on a 10-level “status ladder (地位等级)” comparing their position to society. Results revealed social comparison drives over 70% of money’s impact on happiness — far outweighing actual resources. “Money gains power when measured against others,” explains lead researcher Dr. Lee. The researchers also found that the effect of social comparison was stronger in countries, such as Singapore. Resource competition forces constant social evaluation. Yet upward comparisons often backfire. As Mark Twain observed, “Comparison is the death of joy.” Having just a little more money than your parents doesn’t bring much satisfaction, because nowadays the neighbors are clearly much wealthier. Critically, economic growth sometimes fails to improve national happiness. Why? The study suggests unequal progress makes many feel left behind despite personal gains. True well-being requires advancing both personally and relatively within society’s position ladder. Lawmakers thus must balance wealth creation with fair competition policies. 8. How does the study measure “relative wealth”? A. By measuring education levels. B. By using a 10-level status ladder. C. By researching job satisfaction forms. D. By analyzing spending habits. 9. Why does the author mention Mark Twain’s words? A. To criticize social comparison. B. To claim historical wisdom is outdated. C. To emphasize Singapore’s uniqueness. D. To indicate money’s declining importance. 10. What can be inferred about traditional economic policies? A. They overvalue absolute income growth. B. They effectively use social comparison. C. They prioritize education over wealth. D. They ignore resource competition. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Absolute Wealth: Real Path to Happiness B. Why Money Fails to Buy Joy in Modern Society C. The Hidden Power of Relative Wealth Comparison D. Education vs. Income: New Research Findings 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了新研究发现，相对于绝对财富，人们对“相对财富”的感知更能影响幸福感。研究通过分析全球调查数据得出结论，社会比较在金钱对幸福感的影响中起关键作用，因此实现个人与社会的同步进步对提升幸福感至关重要。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“Participants ranked themselves on a 10-level “status ladder (地位等级)” comparing their position to society.(参与者在一个10级的“地位等级”上对自己进行排名，将自己的地位与社会地位进行比较。)”可知，该研究通过使用一个10级的地位等级来衡量“相对财富”。故选B。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段中的“Yet upward comparisons often backfire. As Mark Twain observed, ‘Comparison is the death of joy.’(然而，向上的比较往往会适得其反。正如马克·吐温所观察到的，“比较是快乐的死敌。”)”可知，作者提到马克·吐温的话是为了强调社会比较带来的负面影响，即批评社会比较。故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的“Critically, economic growth sometimes fails to improve national happiness. Why? The study suggests unequal progress makes many feel left behind despite personal gains. True well-being requires advancing both personally and relatively within society’s position ladder.(重要的是，经济增长有时并不能提高国民幸福感。为什么？研究表明，尽管个人有所收获，但不平等的发展让许多人感到被甩在后面。真正的幸福需要在社会的地位阶梯上个人和相对地位都得到提升。)”以及“Lawmakers thus must balance wealth creation with fair competition policies.(因此，立法者必须在创造财富和公平竞争政策之间取得平衡。)”可以推断出，传统的经济政策可能过于重视绝对收入的增长，而忽视了相对财富和社会公平的重要性。故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章的主要内容，特别是第一段中的“The key is ‘relative wealth’ — feeling richer than others brings more happiness than high income or education alone.(关键是“相对财富”——感觉比别人更富有比单纯的高收入或高教育带来更多的幸福感。)”以及全文围绕“相对财富”对社会幸福感的影响展开讨论，可以得出文章的主旨是探讨相对财富比较的隐藏力量。C选项“The Hidden Power of Relative Wealth Comparison(相对财富比较的隐性力量)”概括文章主要内容，符合标题。故选C。 D Initial conversations can have a huge impact on how relationships develop over time. People are often stuck in the impressions they think they might have made the minute they finish speaking with someone for the first time: “Did they like me or were they just being polite?” “Were they deep in thought or deeply bored?” To find out whether these worries are necessary, we have conducted nearly 10 years of research. In our studies, participants in the UK talked with someone they had never met before. Afterward, they were asked how much they liked their conversation partner and how much they believed that their conversation partner liked them. This allowed us to compare how much people believed they were liked to how much they were actually liked. Time and time again, we found that people left their conversations with negative feelings about the impression they made. That is, people underestimate (低估) how much their conversation partners like them and enjoy their company — a false belief we call the “liking gap”. This bias (成见) may seem like something that would occur only in initial interactions, but its effects extend far beyond a first impression. Surprisingly, the liking gap can constantly affect a variety of relationships, including interactions with coworkers, long after the initial conversations have taken place. Having a larger liking gap is associated with being less willing to ask workmates for help, less willing to provide workmates with open and honest feedback, and less willing to work on another project together. There are numerous strategies to minimize your biased feelings. One place to start is shifting your focus of attention. Try to direct your attention to your conversation partner, be genuinely curious about them, ask them more questions, and really listen to their answers. The more you zero in on the other person, and the less you’re focused on yourself, the better your conversation will be and the less your mind will turn to all the things you think you didn’t do well. 12. Why did the author carry out nearly 10 years of research? A. To check out a potential bias. B. To explore communication strategies. C. To build harmonious relationships. D. To interpret the role of first impressions. 13. What is one effect of people’s liking gap? A Increasing conflicts with workmates. B. Underestimation of their capabilities. C. Low willingness to interact with others. D. Fewer opportunities for new projects. 14 What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph? A. To give warnings. B. To propose solutions. C To restate opinions. D. To draw a conclusion. 15. Which might be the best title for the text? A. First Impressions Rely on Initial Conversations B. Liking Gap May Determine Work Performance C. People Probably Like You More Than You Think D. How People Like You Matters Less Than You Assume 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了研究发现人们普遍低估他人对自己的好感，这种偏差会降低人际互动意愿，但可通过多关注对方而非自身，认真倾听来改善。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“People are often stuck in the impressions they think they might have made the minute they finish speaking with someone for the first time: “Did they like me or were they just being polite?” “Were they deep in thought or deeply bored?” (人们常常会陷入自己第一次和别人说话时留下的印象中：“他们是喜欢我还是只是出于礼貌？”“他们是在沉思还是很无聊？”)”和第二段中“To find out whether these worries are necessary, we have conducted nearly 10 years of research. (为了验证这些担忧是否必要，我们进行了近十年的研究。)”可知，作者进行了近十年的研究，是为了验证一种潜在的认知偏差，即人们是否错误地低估了别人对自己的好感。故选A项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Having a larger liking gap is associated with being less willing to ask workmates for help, less willing to provide workmates with open and honest feedback, and less willing to work on another project together. (喜欢差距越大，就越不愿意向同事寻求帮助，越不愿意向同事提供公开和诚实的反馈，越不愿意一起完成另一个项目。)”可知，喜欢差距的一个影响是降低人们与他人互动的意愿。故选C项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“There are numerous strategies to minimize your biased feelings. One place to start is shifting your focus of attention. Try to direct your attention to your conversation partner, be genuinely curious about them, ask them more questions, and really listen to their answers. (有许多策略可以减少你带有偏见的情绪。可以从转移你的注意力开始。试着把你的注意力转移到你的谈话对象身上，真诚地对他们感到好奇，问他们更多的问题，并认真倾听他们的回答。)”可推知，作者在最后一段的目的是提出解决方案。故选B项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第三段的研究结论“Time and time again, we found that people left their conversations with negative feelings about the impression they made. That is, people underestimate (低估) how much their conversation partners like them and enjoy their company — a false belief we call the “liking gap”. (我们一次又一次地发现，人们在结束谈话时对自己留下的印象感到消极。也就是说，人们低估了他们的谈话对象有多喜欢他们，有多喜欢他们的陪伴——这种错误的信念我们称之为“喜欢差距”。)”可知，文章主要介绍研究发现人们普遍低估他人对自己的好感，这种偏差会降低人际互动意愿，并给出解决方法：多关注对方而非自身，认真倾听。因此，C项“人们可能比你想的更喜欢你”最契合文章主旨，适合作为文章标题。故选C项。 第二节（共5小题：每小题2. 5分，共12. 5分） 根据内容，从短文后的七个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。 During winter holidays, you’ll likely be photographed countless times.

During a visit to designer Chu Yan’s studio, Belarusian host Kate ____38____ (witness) an impressive transformation, as Chinese herbs were reborn as brilliant dyes (染料). When a piece of silk unfolded ____39____ her eyes, gently swaying (摆动) in a dye bath, its color shifting mysterious from bright green to sky blue in a matter of ____40____ (second), with adorable hints of nature’s warmth, Kate could only exclaim in pure wonder: “It’s like Chinese magic.” ____41____ Chu believes is that each traditional Chinese color carries nature’s deep-rooted ____42____ (wise), a philosophy of harmony and balance. Today, these unique and meaningful colors are making their way onto global runways with growing influence, representing a timeless Chinese romance with nature, beauty drawn from the earth and ____43____ (make) into the very fabric of cultural heritage. It is a beauty that is both organic and pure. “Join us in a fascinating world ____44____ color comes naturally from the earth,” Chu says ____45____ (proud). “and uncover the subtle, poetic colors written in petals (花瓣), leaves and roots, waiting to be discovered.” 【答案】36. a 37. transforming 38. witnessed 39. before 40. seconds 41. What 42. wisdom 43. made 44. where 45. proudly 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了中药常见药材板蓝根可作为天然染料，将普通布料转化为美观环保的面料，以及中国传统植物染色工艺承载的文化内涵和全球影响力。 【36题详解】 考查冠词。句意：谁会想到，板蓝根——一种常用于传统中药的草本植物，也能在面料上创造奇迹，将普通布料转化为极其漂亮且环保的面料？空后kind of herb为可数名词单数形式，此处表示“一种草本植物”，为泛指，且kind是以辅音音素开头的单词，所以用不定冠词a。故填a。 【37题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：谁会想到，板蓝根——一种常用于传统中药草本植物，也能在面料上创造奇迹，将普通布料转化为极其漂亮且环保的面料？分析句子结构，句中已有谓语动词could work，此处应为非谓语动词作结果状语，transform与逻辑主语Banlangen之间为主动关系，所以用现在分词形式transforming。故填transforming。 【38题详解】 考查动词时态。句意：在拜访设计师楚艳的工作室时，白俄罗斯主持人凯特目睹了一场令人印象深刻的转变，中草药重生为绚丽的染料。此处为句子谓语动词，根据上下文语境，“拜访工作室”和“目睹转变”均发生在过去，所以用一般过去时witnessed。故填witnessed。 【39题详解】 考查介词。句意：当一块丝绸在她眼前展开，在染浴中轻轻摆动，它的颜色在几秒钟内就神秘地从鲜绿色变成了天蓝色，带着大自然温暖的可爱气息，凯特只能纯粹惊叹道：“这就像中国魔法”。结合句意，“在某人眼前”常用固定搭配unfold before one’s eyes，此处表示丝绸在凯特眼前展开，所以用介词before。故填before。 【40题详解】 考查名词复数。句意：当一块丝绸在她眼前展开，在染浴中轻轻摆动，它的颜色在几秒钟内就神秘地从鲜绿色变成了天蓝色，带着大自然温暖的可爱气息，凯特只能纯粹惊叹道：“这就像中国魔法”。a matter of seconds为固定搭配，意为“几秒钟之内”，second为可数名词，此处用复数形式seconds表示“几秒钟”。故填seconds。 【41题详解】 考查主语从句引导词。句意：楚艳认为，每一种中国传统颜色都承载着大自然根深蒂固的智慧，一种和谐与平衡的哲学。分析句子结构，此处为主语从句，从句中缺少宾语，且指代“楚艳所相信的事情”，所以用连接代词What引导主语从句，位于句首首字母大写。故填What。 【42题详解】 考查名词。句意：楚艳认为，每一种中国传统颜色都承载着大自然根深蒂固的智慧，一种和谐与平衡的哲学。空前有形容词deep-rooted修饰，且作carries的宾语，所以此处应用wise的名词形式wisdom，wisdom为不可数名词。故填wisdom。 【43题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：如今，这些独特而有意义的颜色正以日益增长的影响力走上全球时装周的T台，代表着中国人与自然之间永恒的浪漫，这种美源自大地，并融入文化遗产的肌理之中。分析句子结构，此处与drawn from the earth为并列结构，均作后置定语修饰beauty，make与beauty之间为被动关系，所以用过去分词形式made。故填made。 【44题详解】 考查定语从句引导词。句意：“加入我们，走进一个色彩天然源自大地的迷人世界，”楚艳自豪地说，“去发现那些蕴含在花瓣、树叶和根茎中的微妙而富有诗意的颜色，它们正等待着被发现。”分析句子结构，此处为定语从句，先行词为world，从句中缺少地点状语，所以用关系副词where引导定语从句。故填where。 【45题详解】 考查副词。句意：“加入我们，走进一个色彩天然源自大地的迷人世界，”楚艳自豪地说，“去发现那些蕴含在花瓣、树叶和根中的微妙而富有诗意的颜色，它们正等待着被发现。”此处修饰动词says，所以应用proud的副词形式proudly。故填proudly。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 46. 你校近期发起“每日体育活动不少于2小时”的倡议，外教David希望了解学生对此的真实想法。假定你是学生李华，请给David写一封信，内容包括： 1、你的看法； 2、你的理由； 3、你的建议。 注意：1. 词数100左右；2. 开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Dear David, I’m more than happy to share my thoughts on the “at least 2 hours of daily physical activity” initiative.

Still, the smallest things made me feel out of place. Luckily, the Wilsons, my host family, did everything they could to help me settle in — driving me around, sharing meals, and even letting me use their kitchen when. I. missed Chinese food. With their warmth and support, everything seemed to fall into place. But at school, small moments felt bigger than I’d imagined. In our first literature class, we discussed a Hemingway story. Everyone jumped in actively, while I struggled to speak up. My desk-mate encouraged me, “Next time, just speak up.” I nodded, forcing a bitter smile. And just like that, I found myself in another cultural trap, Mrs. Wilson’s birthday dinner. At the table, I answered politely but kept mostly to myself. Mrs. Wilson noticed my silence and gently asked, “You alright, sweet girl? You’ re so quiet tonight.” My face reddened. Was my silence seen as cold, rather than polite? That night, restless and wide awake, I wondered if I needed to laugh louder, speak faster; or hide parts of myself just to feel I belonged. Questions flooded my mind, none with answers. A few days later, our teacher announced there would be a Culture Festival next week. “You’ ll prepare a stand to share your own culture — food, crafts, customs ... anything meaningful. You can not only display your culture but also make it interactive, allowing people to try new things, learn traditional skills. or share stories and cultural symbols,” she said. The class lit up with excitement. I sat frozen, mind racing: how could I share my traditions in English? The thought made my stomach twisted (扭曲). Yet, I gathered myself with a deep breath and signed up. After that, I threw myself wholeheartedly into preparations, until the day finally came. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 At the Culture Festival, I stood behind my stand, nervous but ready. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ From that day on, my world here started to change. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】【参考范文】（116+115词） At the Culture Festival, I stood behind my stand, nervous but ready. Taking a deep breath, I once again neatly arranged all the well-prepared items: red paper and scissors. Soon, students and teachers gathered, curiosity in their eyes. I welcomed them with a smile and demonstrated: fold, cut, unfold — and a butterfly spread its wings. A wave of surprise rippled through the crowd. Encouraged, I invited a boy to try; his star turned out uneven, yet drew laughter and applause. More joined eagerly, and I moved among them, guiding their hands, praising their efforts and celebrating each creation. When a teacher proudly held up her paper flower, the cheers grew louder. Red pieces fell to the floor, and my confidence, once hidden, shone through every new pattern. From that day on, my world here started to change. In the hallway, students waved butterflies from my stand and greeted me with bright “Ni hao!” My heart lifted as I waved back. In literature class, I gave voice to my ideas with newfound confidence. My English was not flawless, yet my voice was steady, and instead of silence I saw nods and smiles. After class, a girl asked softly, “Can you show us more about your culture?” Her words lingered in my heart, echoing like a gentle reminder. In that echo, I realized I had not only broken free from cultural shock but also found my place in a shared story — one written by many voices, yet open enough to hold my own. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者作为交换生到新西兰的一个小镇，虽做好了应对各种困难的准备，但仍因小事感到不适应。在寄宿家庭中，威尔逊一家给予温暖支持；但在学校，作者在课堂讨论和文化场景中遭遇交流困境，陷入文化困惑。后来，老师宣布举办文化节，作者虽担心无法用英语分享传统文化，但还是报名并全身心投入准备。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“文化节那天，我站在自己的摊位后，既紧张又满怀期待。”可知，第一段可描写作者精心准备并教周围人剪纸的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“从那天起，我在这里的生活开始悄然改变。”可知，第二段可描写文化节对作者的生活产生的影响以及作者的感悟。 2.续写线索：摆放材料——吸引师生——展示剪纸艺术——教大家剪纸——受他人反馈鼓励——隐藏的自信逐渐显露——自我价值反思 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①赞美：praise/speak highly of ②意识到：realize/be aware of ③鼓励：encourage/inspire 情绪类 ①惊讶：surprise/astonishment ②渴望地：eagerly/longingly 【点睛】[高分句型1]Taking a deep breath, I once again neatly arranged all the well-prepared items: red paper and scissors.（运用了现在分词短语作状语） [高分句型2]In that echo, I realized I had not only broken free from cultural shock but also found my place in a shared story — one written by many voices, yet open enough to hold my own.（运用了省略了that的宾语从句，过去分词短语作后置定语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 厦门海沧实验中学2027届高二上学期英语期末考试 本试卷共12页，考试时间120分钟，总分150分。 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 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。录音内容结束后，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。 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.

B Gitanjali Rao, born in 2005, is an Indian American writer and scientist. Her parents, who both worked in education, encouraged her curiosity and love for learning. When she was four years old, her uncle gave her a science set. This small gift got her very interested in how things work. At seven, she earned the title Davidson Young Scholar because of her strong skills in science and math. In 2017, Rao won the first place in the Discovery Education 3M Young Scientist Challenge. This brought her wide attention. She decided to use her talents to solve real problems. After learning about unsafe drinking water in Flint, Michigan, she created Tethys. This device tests water for dangerous lead and sends results to a phone. Later, she designed Kindly, an app that uses computer smarts to find hurtful online messages early. She also built Epione, a tool to help doctors spot signs of drug addiction. Rao is also a writer. Her first book, Baby Brother Wonders, came out in 2015 when she was just ten. In 2020, she published A Young Person’s Guide to Science and Technology. That same year, TIME Magazine chose her as the first ever Kid of the Year, featuring her on its cover. She also received other important awards including a place on Forbes Magazine’s 30 Under 30 list. Outside of science, Rao enjoys Indian classical dance, singing and playing the piano. She has shared her ideas at TEDx events and appeared in a Marvel television show. Her story teaches us that young people can make a big difference in the world. 4. What first started Rao’s interest in science? A. Her parents’ jobs. B. A gift from her uncle. C. Winning a school competition. D. Reading about water problems. 5. What problem does Kindly aim to solve? A. Drug’s effectiveness. B. Water prices. C. Hurtful online messages. D. Lack of science education. 6. What happened to Rao in 2020? A. She joined a TV show. B. She wrote her first book. C. She won the 3M Challenge. D. She was named as Kid of the Year. 7. What is Rao’s belief about technology according to her inventions? A. It belongs only to labs. B. It should benefit society. C. It should replace doctors. D. Its main purpose is entertainment. C Recent research challenges decades of belief about money and happiness. While past studies claimed wealth weakly affects happiness in rich nations, new findings prove income comparison powerfully shapes joy. The key is “relative wealth” — feeling richer than others brings more happiness than high income or education alone. Researchers analyzed 357 global surveys covering 2.3 million people. Participants ranked themselves on a 10-level “status ladder (地位等级)” comparing their position to society. Results revealed social comparison drives over 70% of money’s impact on happiness — far outweighing actual resources. “Money gains power when measured against others,” explains lead researcher Dr. Lee. The researchers also found that the effect of social comparison was stronger in countries, such as Singapore. Resource competition forces constant social evaluation. Yet upward comparisons often backfire. As Mark Twain observed, “Comparison is the death of joy.” Having just a little more money than your parents doesn’t bring much satisfaction, because nowadays the neighbors are clearly much wealthier. Critically, economic growth sometimes fails to improve national happiness. Why? The study suggests unequal progress makes many feel left behind despite personal gains.

Education vs. Income: New Research Findings D Initial conversations can have a huge impact on how relationships develop over time. People are often stuck in the impressions they think they might have made the minute they finish speaking with someone for the first time: “Did they like me or were they just being polite?” “Were they deep in thought or deeply bored?” To find out whether these worries are necessary, we have conducted nearly 10 years of research. In our studies, participants in the UK talked with someone they had never met before. Afterward, they were asked how much they liked their conversation partner and how much they believed that their conversation partner liked them. This allowed us to compare how much people believed they were liked to how much they were actually liked. Time and time again, we found that people left their conversations with negative feelings about the impression they made. That is, people underestimate (低估) how much their conversation partners like them and enjoy their company — a false belief we call the “liking gap”. This bias (成见) may seem like something that would occur only in initial interactions, but its effects extend far beyond a first impression. Surprisingly, the liking gap can constantly affect a variety of relationships, including interactions with coworkers, long after the initial conversations have taken place. Having a larger liking gap is associated with being less willing to ask workmates for help, less willing to provide workmates with open and honest feedback, and less willing to work on another project together. There are numerous strategies to minimize your biased feelings. One place to start is shifting your focus of attention. Try to direct your attention to your conversation partner, be genuinely curious about them, ask them more questions, and really listen to their answers. The more you zero in on the other person, and the less you’re focused on yourself, the better your conversation will be and the less your mind will turn to all the things you think you didn’t do well. 12. Why did the author carry out nearly 10 years of research? A. To check out a potential bias. B. To explore communication strategies. C. To build harmonious relationships. D. To interpret the role of first impressions. 13. What is one effect of people’s liking gap? A. Increasing conflicts with workmates. B. Underestimation of their capabilities. C. Low willingness to interact with others. D. Fewer opportunities for new projects. 14. What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph? A. To give warnings. B. To propose solutions. C To restate opinions. D. To draw a conclusion. 15. Which might be the best title for the text? A. First Impressions Rely on Initial Conversations B. Liking Gap May Determine Work Performance C People Probably Like You More Than You Think D. How People Like You Matters Less Than You Assume 第二节（共5小题：每小题2. 5分，共12. 5分） 根据内容，从短文后的七个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。 During winter holidays, you’ll likely be photographed countless times.

Still, the smallest things made me feel out of place. Luckily, the Wilsons, my host family, did everything they could to help me settle in — driving me around, sharing meals, and even letting me use their kitchen when. I. missed Chinese food. With their warmth and support, everything seemed to fall into place. But at school, small moments felt bigger than I’d imagined. In our first literature class, we discussed a Hemingway story. Everyone jumped in actively, while I struggled to speak up. My desk-mate encouraged me, “Next time, just speak up.” I nodded, forcing a bitter smile. And just like that, I found myself in another cultural trap, Mrs. Wilson’s birthday dinner. At the table, I answered politely but kept mostly to myself. Mrs. Wilson noticed my silence and gently asked, “You alright, sweet girl? You’ re so quiet tonight.” My face reddened. Was my silence seen as cold, rather than polite? That night, restless and wide awake, I wondered if I needed to laugh louder, speak faster; or hide parts of myself just to feel I belonged. Questions flooded my mind, none with answers. A few days later, our teacher announced there would be a Culture Festival next week. “You’ ll prepare a stand to share your own culture — food, crafts, customs ... anything meaningful. You can not only display your culture but also make it interactive, allowing people to try new things, learn traditional skills. or share stories and cultural symbols,” she said. The class lit up with excitement. I sat frozen, mind racing: how could I share my traditions in English? The thought made my stomach twisted (扭曲). Yet, I gathered myself with a deep breath and signed up. After that, I threw myself wholeheartedly into preparations, until the day finally came. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 At the Culture Festival, I stood behind my stand, nervous but ready. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ From that day on, my world here started to change. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
