Smart TV Channels a Sense of Frustration The phenomenon of watching less or not watching TV mirrors a plunge in traditional TV sales in recent years. “I haven’t watched TV at home for almost five years.” The same sentiment is a true portrayal of many Gen-Zers (Z世代，指出生在1995年至2010年之间的一代人) today.

It was mostly data and statistics work staring at a screen. I was earning more than most of my friends, living the city life, going out at weekends. I had a good pension (养老金) and annual leave but it caused a lot of anxiety and worry.I was really unhappy. I wanted to get back to feeling passionate about something so I started thinking about the things I used to love. As a child, I’d always been involved in the outdoors, and I used to love hiking but all that had stopped after secondary school. I decided to volunteer with a local youth group and within a month, I’d gone camping with them. I absolutely loved it. It was like switching on a lightbulb. This was what I’d been missing. I started taking courses in mountain skills and wilderness first aid, and by August I was working my usual job in the week, and I was a climbing club leader at weekends. I loved connecting with nature, connecting with other people. Through all this, I learnt about the whole field of nature-based therapies (疗法). It was the perfect fit to combine my psychology background with my passion for the outdoors. I began taking courses in wild therapy, forest bathing and ecopsychology. I left my government job and in July 2020 I launched my business Nature Therapy Ireland, which is booming now. I’d thought I’d always live in a city but last year, I moved to Tipperary to live at the foot of a mountain, surrounded by nature. If I’m feeling stressed, I can step outside in my bare feet and stand on the grass to ground myself. In Dublin, the front door felt like a barrier—I had to have my keys, my phone, my jacket before I could even go out and find a green space. My life now is leading nature connection hikes and forest bathing walks. My salary has halved for the moment but I’ve adjusted. I’ve never looked back. 31. What did the writer think of her job in Dublin? A. Stressful. B. Valueless. C. Insecure. D. Demanding. 32. What does the underlined sentence mean in Paragraph 2? A. She enjoyed her voluntary work. B. She realized what she really loved. C. Recalling the past made her happy. D. A bright future was in store for her. 33. What drove the writer to launch her business Nature Therapy Ireland? A. Her adventurous experience. B. Her leadership and background. C. Her connection with other people. D. Her major and passion for nature. 34. Why did the writer compare her life in Dublin with that in Tipperary? A. To highlight how boring city life was. B. To call on people to get back to nature. C. To show her satisfaction with her change. D. To indicate how successful her business was. 【答案】31. A 32. B 33. D 34. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者介绍了辞去政府工作，选择做自己喜欢做的事情，并且作者将自己的心理学专业与对户外的热情创办了Nature Therapy Ireland，虽然薪水减半，但是感觉很放松。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“I had a good pension (养老金) and annual leave but it caused a lot of anxiety and worry. I was really unhappy.(我有一个很好的养老金和年假，但它引起了很多焦虑和担忧。我真的很不开心)”可知，作者虽然工作待遇不错，但是感到焦虑和担心，觉得不开心。由此推知，作者觉得Dublin的工作压力很大。故选A项。 【32题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段划线句子前的“I decided to volunteer with a local youth group and within a month, I’d gone camping with them. I absolutely loved it.(我决定在当地的一个青年团体做志愿者，不到一个月，我就和他们一起去露营了。我非常喜欢它)”可知，作者很喜欢与年轻人户外活动，划线句子的下文“This was what I’d been missing.(这就是我一直错过的)”可知，这是作者错过的，也就是指的上文中作者喜欢的户外活动，this指代的内容是划线句子。由此可知，划线句子的意思为“他意识到自己真正喜欢的是什么”。故选B项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“It was the perfect fit to combine my psychology background with my passion for the outdoors. I began taking courses in wild therapy, forest bathing and ecopsychology.(将我的心理学背景与我对户外活动的热情相结合是完美的选择。我开始参加野外疗法、森林浴和生态心理学课程)”可知，作者将他的心理学专业和自己对户外运动的热爱结合起来，并创办了Nature Therapy Ireland。故选D项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“In Dublin, the front door felt like a barrier — I had to have my keys, my phone, my jacket before I could even go out and find a green space. My life now is leading nature connection hikes and forest bathing walks. My salary has halved for the moment but I’ve adjusted. I’ve never looked back.(在都柏林，前门感觉就像一道屏障——我必须拿到钥匙、手机和夹克，然后才能出去找绿地。我现在的生活是领导自然联系远足和森林浴散步。我的薪水暂时减半，但我已经调整了。我从未回头)”可知，作者觉得在Dublin自己的前门就是挡住自己与大自然接触的障碍，而在Tipperary，作者完全与大自然融合，而且永远不会回头，结合作者自己对大自然的热爱。由此推知，作者对现在生活很满意。故选C项。 B A is for always getting to work on time. B is for being extremely busy. C is for the conscientious (勤勤恳恳的) way you do your job. You may be all these things at the office, and more. But when it comes to getting ahead, experts say, the ABCs of business should include a P, for politics, as in office politics. Dale Carnegie suggested as much more than 50 years ago: Hard work alone doesn’t ensure career advancement. You have to be able to sell yourself and your ideas, both publicly and behind the scenes. Yet, despite the obvious rewards of engaging in office politics — a better job, a raise, praise — many people are still unable or unwilling to “play the game.” “People assume that office politics involves some manipulative (工于心计的) behavior,” says Deborah Comer, an assistant professor of management at Hofstra University. “But politics derives from the word ‘polite’. It can mean lobbying and forming associations. It can mean being kind and helpful, or even trying to please your superior, and then expecting something in return.” In fact, today, experts define office politics as proper behavior used to pursue one’s own self-interest in the workplace. In many cases, this involves some form of socializing within the office environment — not just in large companies, but in small workplaces as well. “The first thing people are usually judged on is their ability to perform well on a consistent basis,” says Neil P Lewis, a management psychologist. “But if two or three candidates are up for a promotion, each of whom has reasonably similar ability, a manager is going to promote the person he or she likes best. It’s simple human nature.” Yet, psychologists say, many employees and employers have trouble with the concept of politics in the office. Some people, they say, have an idealistic vision of work and what it takes to succeed. Still others associate politics with flattery (奉承), fearful that, if they speak up for themselves, they may appear to be flattering their boss for favors. Experts suggest altering this negative picture by recognizing the need for some self-promotion. 35. “Office politics” (Line 2, Para.4) is used in the passage to refer to ________. A. the code of behavior for company staff B. the political views and beliefs of office workers C. the interpersonal relationships within a company D. the various qualities required for a successful career 36. To get promoted, one must not only be competent, but ________. A. give his boss a good impression B. honest and loyal to his company C. get along well with his colleagues D. avoid being too outstanding 37. Why are many people unwilling to “play the game” (Line 4, Para.5)? A. They believe that doing so is impractical. B. They feel that such behavior is unprincipled. C. They are not good at manipulating colleagues. D. They think the effort will get them nowhere. 38. It is the author’s view that ________. A. speaking up for oneself is part of human nature B. self-promotion does not necessarily mean flattery C. hard work contributes very little to one’s promotion D. many employees fail to recognize the need of flattery 【答案】35. C 36. A 37. B 38. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要探讨了“办公室政治”的概念、人们对它的误解，以及在职场晋升中合理运用人际关系和自我推销的重要性。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“In fact, today, experts define office politics as proper behavior used to pursue one’s own self-interest in the workplace. In many cases, this involves some form of socializing within the office environment — not just in large companies, but in small workplaces as well. (事实上，如今，专家将办公室政治定义为在工作场所追求自身利益的恰当行为。在很多情况下，这涉及到办公室环境内的某种社交形式——不仅在大公司，在小的工作场所也是如此。)”可知，“办公室政治”指的是公司内部的人际关系。故选C。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段“But if two or three candidates are up for a promotion, each of whom has reasonably similar ability, a manager is going to promote the person he or she likes best. It’s simple human nature. (但如果两三个候选人竞争晋升机会，他们的能力都相当相似，经理就会提拔他或她最喜欢的那个人。这是很简单的人性。)”可知，要获得晋升，除了能力之外，还需要给老板留下好印象。故选A。 【37题详解】 推理判断题。根据第七段“Some people, they say, have an idealistic vision of work and what it takes to succeed. Still others associate politics with flattery, fearful that, if they speak up for themselves, they may appear to be flattering their boss for favors. (他们说，有些人对工作和成功的条件抱有理想主义的看法。还有些人把政治和奉承联系在一起，担心如果为自己说话，可能会显得是在讨好老板以获得好处。)”可知，许多人不愿意“玩这个游戏”，是因为他们觉得这种行为是不道德的、不合原则的。故选B。 【38题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Experts suggest altering this negative picture by recognizing the need for some self-promotion. (专家建议通过认识到自我推销的必要性来改变这种负面看法。)”以及上文对办公室政治的重新定义可知，作者认为自我推销并不一定意味着奉承。故选B。 C CrossRoads Create, a social media app developed by four seniors who are now studying at the University of Rochester, aims to provide a platform to bring teams together for projects. While Sharfuz Shifat was working at the Meliora LaunchPad-a student organization he co-founded-in his second year at the university, Shifat had the vision of making an efficient social media network for people to work on their ideas. “The world would be a better place if you could easily find people who have the same interests, vision and relevant skills to build something,” he said. He then reached out to Carolyn Zelicof, Andrew Nyaisonga and Sandesh Paudel. “I got a text from Sharfuz saying he was looking for a user experience designer, and I thought this project was really exciting,” Zelicof said. With their team assembled, the four co-founders were now ready to materialize their vision. CrossRoads Create currently has a landing page where you can sign up to become a user and provide feedback on the product. Site visitors are met with the logo and the motto: “Where ideas meet execution.” Minimizing cost was one of the main challenges of the development process. The two engineers, Nyaisonga and Paudel, were able to develop the platform without indirect costs while keeping the ability of a business or system to grow larger in mind. Nyaisonga explained: “There is an easier way to do something, but it might not be cheap. So, we had to choose the harder way for some things.” On the design side, Zelicof, the lead user interface and user experience designer, spoke of the challenge of building a good user experience from an idea, as well as satisfying her team’s expectations. Juggling schoolwork, job applications, and the app development was another curveball thrown their way. “But when you’re really passionate about it, you can do it. Not everyone has to drop out of college to build a startup.” Shifat said. CrossRoads Create will be launched this week, and the founders have been busy preparing their launch strategy, promoting their product through extensive use of social media marketing campaigns, maintaining their landing page, and interacting with the Center for Startups. 39. What do we know about Sharfuz Shifat? A. He founded Meliora LaunchPad after his graduation from university. B He is responsible for improving the experience of the app users. C. He thinks it more important to start a business than pursue a degree. D He is involved in promoting their app through social media. 40. Why did Nyaisonga prefer the hard way of developing the platform? A. Because it is money-saving. B. Because it allows the app to grow. C. Because it quickens development process. D. Because it takes time to get feedback from users. 41. What does “curveball” in Paragraph 5 refer to? A. Interest. B. Ambition. C. Difficulty. D. Confusion. 42. Which of the following was NOT one of the challenges they faced? A. Meeting the expectations of their teammates. B. Striking a balance between schoolwork and app development. C. Having access to the resources provided by the Center for Startups. D. Turning their thoughts about improving user experience into a reality. 【答案】39. D 40. A 41. C 42. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了由罗切斯特大学的四名大四学生开发的一款社交媒体应用CrossRoads Create，旨在为项目团队提供一个平台。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。第二段第一句提到“While Sharfuz Shifat was working at the Meliora LaunchPad-a student organization he co-founded-in his second year at the university, Shifat had the vision of making an efficient social media network for people to work on their ideas. （当Sharfuz Shifat在Meliora launchpad(一个他在大学二年级时共同创立的学生组织)工作时，Shifat有一个愿景，那就是打造一个高效的社交媒体网络，让人们实现自己的想法）”由此判断，他致力于打造一个高效的社交网络，且最后一段提到“ the founders have been busy preparing their launch strategy, promoting their product through extensive use of social media marketing campaigns（创始人一直在忙着准备他们的启动策略，通过广泛使用社交媒体营销活动来推广他们的产品）”由此判断，Shifat在他们软件准备上线的阶段使用了社交媒体来进行软件的推广。故选D。 【40题详解】 推理判断题。第五段第一句提到“Minimizing cost was one of the main challenges of the development process. （降低成本是开发过程中的主要挑战之一。）”在该段提到“Nyaisonga explained: “There is an easier way to do something, but it might not be cheap. So, we had to choose the harder way for some things.”（Nyaisonga解释说:“有一种更简单的方法来做某事，但它可能不便宜。所以，我们必须为一些事情选择更艰难的方式。”）”由此判断，Nyaisonga选择更艰难的方式来完成应用的开发，是为了降低成本。故选A。 【41题详解】 词义猜测题。第五段第一句提到“Minimizing cost was one of the main challenges of the development process. （降低成本是开发过程中的主要挑战之一。）”在该段提到“Juggling schoolwork, job applications, and the app development（同时兼顾学业、工作申请和应用程序开发）”，因为这个应用是由四名大学生开发的，因此他们在应用开发的过程中面临着很多的困难，降低成本只是他们面临的主要挑战之一。A. Interest兴趣；B. Ambition野心；C. Difficulty困难；D. Confusion结论。故选C。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。第五段提到“On the design side, Zelicof, the lead user interface and user experience designer, spoke of the challenge of building a good user experience from an idea, as well as satisfying her team’s expectations. （在设计方面，首席用户界面和用户体验设计师Zelicof谈到了从一个想法构建一个良好的用户体验，以及满足她的团队的期望所面临的挑战。）应用软件的开发，不仅要满足用户的体验，还要满足团队的期待。A项Meeting the expectations of their teammates.（满足团队的期望。）符合文意。在该段提到“Juggling schoolwork, job applications, and the app development（同时兼顾学业、工作申请和应用程序开发）”由此判断，这些人要平衡学业和开发软件之间的关系，B项Striking a balance between schoolwork and app development.（平衡学业和应用程序开发。）符合文意。第二段提到“Shifat had the vision of making an efficient social media network for people to work on their ideas. （Shifat有一个愿景，那就是打造一个高效的社交媒体网络，让人们实现自己的想法。）”由此判断，怎样实现人们的想法，对于软件开发、应用也是一个挑战。D项Turning their thoughts about improving user experience into a reality.（把改善用户体验的想法变成现实。）符合文意。C项Having access to the resources provided by the Center for Startups.（能够使用创业中心提供的资源。）文中并未提到，只是在最后一段提到interacting with the Center for Startups.（和创业中心互动。），并不是使用创业中心提供的资源。故选C。 D A team of Japanese scientists has discovered genes that enable rice to survive high water, providing hope for better rice production in lowland areas that are affected by flooding. The genes, called SNORKEL genes, help rice grow longer stems to deal with higher water levels. Deep water rice generally produces low-yield (低产的) rice plants. But the researchers report they have succeeded in introducing the genes to rice varieties that are higher-yield. According to the report, as water levels rise, accumulation of the plant hormone (激素) ethylene (乙烯) makes the SNORKEL genes start working, making stem growth more rapid. When the researchers introduced the genes into rice that does not normally survive in deep water, they were able to rescue the plants from drowning. Motoyuki Ashikari, who headed the project, said his team is hoping to use the gene on long grain rice widely used in Southeast Asia to help stabilize production in flood areas where rice with the resistant gene is low in production about one-third to one-quarter that of regular rice. “Scientifically the gene that we found is rare but clear proof of a biological ability to adapt to a difficult environment,” he said. “It’s a genetic strategy specifically to survive flooding.” High water levels in rice field can be a serious problem. In some areas, rains can cause water levels to rise dangerously high during the growing season and flash flooding can fully submerge plants for days or even weeks. Rice is a main food for billions, and while productivity has increased dramatically since the 1960s, yields must be doubled to meet projected requirements by 2050. More than 30 percent of Asian and 40 percent of African rice land is either lowland field or deep water field. Laurentius of Utrecht University said the study is significant because high-yield rice varieties cannot survive extremes of floods. “The introduction of these genes into high-yield varieties, using advanced breeding strategies, promises to improve the quality and quantity of rice.” he said. 43. What is the main character of SNORKEL genes? A. They prevent rice from being attacked by various diseases. B. They help rice grow taller in highland regions. C. They make rice grow tall enough to survive in deep water. D. They make rice be ripe within a shorter time. 44. According to Ashikai, the rice with the gene his team found ________. A. will be helpful for Southeast Asia B. has been widely used in Southeast Asia C. will be one third more expensive than regular rice D. is lower in production than regular rice 45. The underlined word “submerge” in the sixth paragraph probably means ________. A. cover B. damage C. produce D. kill 46. What Laurentius said in the last paragraph suggests that ________. A. rice will be planted on the farmland everywhere in the future B. rice with SNORKEL genes will be of high quality in the future C. high-yield rice varieties are not common nowadays D. the quality of rice is difficult to improve 【答案】43. C 44. A 45. A 46. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了日本科学家发现的能让水稻在深水中存活的SNORKEL基因，阐述了其作用、应用前景及对全球水稻生产的重要意义。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The genes, called SNORKEL genes, help rice grow longer stems to deal with higher water levels.(这些被称为SNORKEL的基因能帮助水稻长出更长的茎来应对更高的水位。)”以及第三段“When the researchers introduced the genes into rice that does not normally survive in deep water, they were able to rescue the plants from drowning.(当研究人员将这些基因导入通常无法在深水中存活的水稻时，他们成功地使这些水稻免于被淹死。)”可知，SNORKEL基因的主要特点是让水稻长得足够高，从而在深水中存活。故选C。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Motoyuki Ashikari, who headed the project, said his team is hoping to use the gene on long grain rice widely used in Southeast Asia to help stabilize production in flood areas where rice with the resistant gene is low in production about one-third to one-quarter that of regular rice.(Motoyuki Ashikari，该项目的负责人，表示，他的团队希望将这种基因应用于东南亚广泛种植的长粒稻，以帮助稳定洪水多发地区的产量——在这些地区，带有抗涝基因的水稻产量较低，仅为常规水稻的三分之一到四分之一。)”可知，Ashikari认为他们团队发现的这种基因的水稻将对东南亚有帮助。故选A。 【45题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第六段“In some areas, rains can cause water levels to rise dangerously high during the growing season and flash flooding can fully submerge plants for days or even weeks.(在一些地区，生长季的降雨会导致水位危险地升高，而突发洪水会将植物完全submerge数天甚至数周。)”可知，洪水会将植物完全覆盖、淹没，因此“submerge”的意思最接近“cover(覆盖，淹没)”。故选A。 【46题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““The introduction of these genes into high-yield varieties, using advanced breeding strategies, promises to improve the quality and quantity of rice.” he said.(他说：“利用先进的育种策略，将这些基因导入高产品种，有望提高水稻的质量和产量。”)”可知，Laurentius认为导入了SNORKEL基因的水稻未来将具有很高的品质。故选B。 第二节 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。第67～69题每题答案不超过5词，第70题答案不超过20词。（共4小题，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题（第1～3题每题答案不超过5词，第4题答案不超过20词）。 On a wonderful sunny day, Lynn Fainsilber Katz visited one of her favorite beaches, known for its crystal-clear water. She parked her car and headed for the shore with everything she needed for the day: a chair, a beach umbrella, flippers (脚蹼), sunglasses and a cooler. It was a difficult balancing act. “It was just really hard to climb over all the rocks, and I was struggling,” she said. She reached a part of the beach entrance where there was a large step down. Unsure if she could take the step safely, she paused, wondering what to do. “As I stood there, a young, kind-of 30-something-year-old man came over to me and said, ‘Can I help you?’ And I said, ‘Sure’” she recalled. The man took some of the things she was carrying. Then he gave her his hand to walk her down the step. Fainsilber Katz felt grateful. “As I age, I’m feeling a little bit more vulnerable (脆弱的) and not as strong and able to do the things that I want to do,” she said. “Having that kind of help and support at just that right moment felt like, ‘I can continue in the life that I want to have.’” The man’s act of kindness comforted Fainsilber Katz and reminded her that when life gets hard, you don’t have to do it alone. “If you feel like there’ll be somebody there who will help, then you can ... maintain the joy that you want to maintain in your life,” she said. “So that’s why I’m grateful to him because he helped me maintain that joy.” 47. What is the most difficult for Fainsilber Katz when she was heading for the shore? ________________________________________________________________ 48. What helped Fainsilber Katz? ________________________________________________________________ 49. How did Fainsilber Katz feel when she got older? ________________________________________________________________ 50. Would you offer a helpful hand for people in need? Why? ________________________________________________________________ 【答案】47. Climbing over the rocks. 48. A young man’s help. 49. More vulnerable and weak. 50. Yes. Because helping others can bring joy and warmth to people. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述Lynn Fainsilber Katz在去海滩时遇到困难，一位陌生男士主动伸出援手，让她感受到温暖与生活的喜悦的故事。 【47题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第一段中“She parked her car and headed for the shore with everything she needed for the day: a chair, a beach umbrella, flippers (脚蹼), sunglasses and a cooler. It was a difficult balancing act. (她停好车，带着一天所需的所有东西走向海滩：一把椅子、一把沙滩伞、脚蹼、太阳镜和一个冷藏箱。这很难保持平衡。)”以及第二段中“It was just really hard to climb over all the rocks, and I was struggling. (要爬过所有的岩石真的很难，我很吃力。)”可知，她去海滩时最困难的是携带很多东西、难以保持平衡并爬过岩石。故答案为Climbing over the rocks. 【48题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第四段中“As I stood there, a young, kind-of 30-something-year-old man came over to me and said, ‘Can I help you?’ And I said, ‘Sure’” she recalled. (“当我站在那里时，一位30多岁的年轻男士走过来对我说：‘我能帮你吗？’我说：‘当然。’”她回忆道。)”以及第五段中“The man took some of the things she was carrying. Then he gave her his hand to walk her down the step. (这位男士拿了她携带的一些东西。然后伸手扶她走下台阶。)”可知，是一位陌生男士的帮助帮助了她。故答案为A young man’s help. 【49题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第六段中“As I age, I’m feeling a little bit more vulnerable (脆弱的) and not as strong and able to do the things that I want to do. (随着年龄增长，我感觉更脆弱了，没那么强壮，也不能做自己想做的事了。)”可知，她变老后感觉更脆弱、没那么强壮。故答案为More vulnerable and weak. 【50题详解】 开放回答题。本题为开放性试题，答案合理即可，不超过20词。故答案可以为Yes. Because helping others can bring joy and warmth to people. 四、写作 （共2题，满分35分） 第一节 概要写作 （满分10分） 51. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point (s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. The Price of Winning Fourteen-year-old Angus sits on the bench, watching his baseball team play. He’s out of the game because he made a mistake. For his coach, that's unacceptable — mistakes don’t win games. But for most teens, the focus on winning isn’t as important. In a recent study, 90% of teenagers said they would rather play and lose than sit on the sidelines and not play at all. For them, sports are about fun, learning, and being part of a team. However, for many coaches and parents, winning is everything, and they expect perfection from young players. Unfortunately, this pressure to win drives many kids away from organized sports early on. In competitive events, nearly every action a player makes is examined. Parents and coaches constantly shout instructions, sometimes yelling at kids for errors or missed shots. This intense environment doesn’t let kids make their own choices or learn from their mistakes. Instead of enjoying the game, young players feel watched and judged every second. They lose the freedom to explore their abilities and develop naturally as athletes and individuals. The emphasis on winning creates deeper issues, too. Many kids feel anxious because they’re only praised for scoring goals or winning races, not for trying hard or improving. Over time, this focus on results can harm their self-confidence, especially if they’re often benched. They start to believe they’re only valuable if they perform perfectly, which can make sports feel like a burden instead of a joy. Two months later, Angus is back playing baseball — but not on a team. He’s at the park with friends, playing just for fun, and he’s much happier. This raises an important question: How many potential champions will quit sports unless adults change their attitude? For young athletes to thrive, they need support and encouragement, not the pressure to always win. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 In competitive events, young players are always expected perfection by their coaches and parents, which has a negative impact on teenagers. Not only does it cause that teenagers prefer to sit on the sidelines instead of taking a positive in the events, but also the focus on results can also make them feel frustrated. If adults change their attitude, young athletes will build up confidence and inspire potential. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章通过讲述棒球选手安格斯因为被过度要求获胜，而产生巨大的心理压力，因此导致球场失误，被罚下场的故事，讲述了盲目追求获胜的弊端：过早离开有组织的体育运动，引起自身焦虑。强调运动过程中，运动员需要更多的支持和鼓励，才能避免焦虑，提升自信，进而自由地探索自己的能力，更加享受运动带来的乐趣，激发出自己的潜力。 【详解】1. 要点摘录 ① However, for many coaches and parents, winning is everything, and they expect perfection from young players. ②Unfortunately, this pressure to win drives many kids away from organized sports early on. ③The emphasis on winning creates deeper issues, too. ④For young athletes to thrive, they need support and encouragement, not the pressure to always win. 2.缜密构思 将第1个要点作为背景描述，引出当前常见的一种现象：过度强调胜利，将第2、3要点进行整合，分别说明强调胜利的代价，最后提出解决问题的方法。 3.遣词造句 Young players are always expected perfection. It causes that teenagers prefer to sit on the sidelines and not play at all. The focus on results can also make them feel frustrated. If adults change their attitude, young athletes will build up confidence and inspire potential. 【点睛】【高分句型1】 In competitive events, young players are always expected perfection by their coaches and parents, which have a negative impact on teenagers. 主句使用被动语态的句式引出由当前的一种社会现象，使用which引导的非限制性定语从句，阐明这一现象带来的弊端，通过主从复合句的形式，将句式进行升级。 【高分句型2】Not only did it cause that teenagers preferred to sit on the sidelines and not play at all instead of taking a positive in the events, but also the focus on results can also make them feel frustrated.使用Not only…but also 连接两个并列句，同时将否定词not only置于句首，形成一个倒装结构，进一步描述过度关注胜利带来的弊端，使得句式表达多样化。 第二节 书面表达 （共1题，满分25分） 52. 假设你是李华。请根据以下图片顺序，写一篇英语短文，记录时间管理是如何改变你的学习和日常生活的。 注意：1、词数：150词。 2、可适当增添细节以使行文流畅。 Time Management ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Time Management Without proper time management, I often found myself staying up late into the night to study. The workload seemed overwhelming, and I couldn’t finish everything during the day. As a result, I was always exhausted. During classes, I couldn’t help dozing off, missing important points from the lessons. My poor time management also led to bad exam results, which made me feel frustrated and discouraged. Realizing the problem, I decided to change. I started planning my day carefully, setting specific times for studying, resting, and even having fun. By sticking to the schedule, I was able to complete my tasks efficiently and get enough sleep. Gradually, my academic performance improved. I felt more energetic and focused in class.

It was mostly data and statistics work staring at a screen. I was earning more than most of my friends, living the city life, going out at weekends. I had a good pension (养老金) and annual leave but it caused a lot of anxiety and worry.I was really unhappy. I wanted to get back to feeling passionate about something so I started thinking about the things I used to love. As a child, I’d always been involved in the outdoors, and I used to love hiking but all that had stopped after secondary school. I decided to volunteer with a local youth group and within a month, I’d gone camping with them. I absolutely loved it. It was like switching on a lightbulb. This was what I’d been missing. I started taking courses in mountain skills and wilderness first aid, and by August I was working my usual job in the week, and I was a climbing club leader at weekends. I loved connecting with nature, connecting with other people. Through all this, I learnt about the whole field of nature-based therapies (疗法). It was the perfect fit to combine my psychology background with my passion for the outdoors. I began taking courses in wild therapy, forest bathing and ecopsychology. I left my government job and in July 2020 I launched my business Nature Therapy Ireland, which is booming now. I’d thought I’d always live in a city but last year, I moved to Tipperary to live at the foot of a mountain, surrounded by nature. If I’m feeling stressed, I can step outside in my bare feet and stand on the grass to ground myself. In Dublin, the front door felt like a barrier—I had to have my keys, my phone, my jacket before I could even go out and find a green space. My life now is leading nature connection hikes and forest bathing walks. My salary has halved for the moment but I’ve adjusted. I’ve never looked back. 31. What did the writer think of her job in Dublin? A. Stressful. B. Valueless. C. Insecure. D. Demanding. 32. What does the underlined sentence mean in Paragraph 2? A. She enjoyed her voluntary work. B. She realized what she really loved. C. Recalling the past made her happy. D. A bright future was in store for her. 33. What drove the writer to launch her business Nature Therapy Ireland? A. Her adventurous experience. B. Her leadership and background. C. Her connection with other people. D Her major and passion for nature. 34. Why did the writer compare her life in Dublin with that in Tipperary? A. To highlight how boring city life was. B. To call on people to get back to nature. C. To show her satisfaction with her change. D. To indicate how successful her business was. B A is for always getting to work on time. B is for being extremely busy. C is for the conscientious (勤勤恳恳的) way you do your job. You may be all these things at the office, and more. But when it comes to getting ahead, experts say, the ABCs of business should include a P, for politics, as in office politics. Dale Carnegie suggested as much more than 50 years ago: Hard work alone doesn’t ensure career advancement. You have to be able to sell yourself and your ideas, both publicly and behind the scenes. Yet, despite the obvious rewards of engaging in office politics — a better job, a raise, praise — many people are still unable or unwilling to “play the game.” “People assume that office politics involves some manipulative (工于心计的) behavior,” says Deborah Comer, an assistant professor of management at Hofstra University. “But politics derives from the word ‘polite’. It can mean lobbying and forming associations. It can mean being kind and helpful, or even trying to please your superior, and then expecting something in return.” In fact, today, experts define office politics as proper behavior used to pursue one’s own self-interest in the workplace. In many cases, this involves some form of socializing within the office environment — not just in large companies, but in small workplaces as well. “The first thing people are usually judged on is their ability to perform well on a consistent basis,” says Neil P Lewis, a management psychologist. “But if two or three candidates are up for a promotion, each of whom has reasonably similar ability, a manager is going to promote the person he or she likes best. It’s simple human nature.” Yet, psychologists say, many employees and employers have trouble with the concept of politics in the office. Some people, they say, have an idealistic vision of work and what it takes to succeed. Still others associate politics with flattery (奉承), fearful that, if they speak up for themselves, they may appear to be flattering their boss for favors. Experts suggest altering this negative picture by recognizing the need for some self-promotion. 35. “Office politics” (Line 2, Para.4) is used in the passage to refer to ________. A. the code of behavior for company staff B. the political views and beliefs of office workers C. the interpersonal relationships within a company D. the various qualities required for a successful career 36. To get promoted, one must not only be competent, but ________. A. give his boss a good impression B. honest and loyal to his company C. get along well with his colleagues D. avoid being too outstanding 37. Why are many people unwilling to “play the game” (Line 4, Para.5)? A. They believe that doing so is impractical. B. They feel that such behavior is unprincipled. C. They are not good at manipulating colleagues. D. They think the effort will get them nowhere. 38. It is the author’s view that ________. A. speaking up for oneself is part of human nature B. self-promotion does not necessarily mean flattery C. hard work contributes very little to one’s promotion D. many employees fail to recognize the need of flattery C CrossRoads Create, a social media app developed by four seniors who are now studying at the University of Rochester, aims to provide a platform to bring teams together for projects. While Sharfuz Shifat was working at the Meliora LaunchPad-a student organization he co-founded-in his second year at the university, Shifat had the vision of making an efficient social media network for people to work on their ideas. “The world would be a better place if you could easily find people who have the same interests, vision and relevant skills to build something,” he said. He then reached out to Carolyn Zelicof, Andrew Nyaisonga and Sandesh Paudel. “I got a text from Sharfuz saying he was looking for a user experience designer, and I thought this project was really exciting,” Zelicof said. With their team assembled, the four co-founders were now ready to materialize their vision. CrossRoads Create currently has a landing page where you can sign up to become a user and provide feedback on the product. Site visitors are met with the logo and the motto: “Where ideas meet execution.” Minimizing cost was one of the main challenges of the development process. The two engineers, Nyaisonga and Paudel, were able to develop the platform without indirect costs while keeping the ability of a business or system to grow larger in mind. Nyaisonga explained: “There is an easier way to do something, but it might not be cheap. So, we had to choose the harder way for some things.” On the design side, Zelicof, the lead user interface and user experience designer, spoke of the challenge of building a good user experience from an idea, as well as satisfying her team’s expectations. Juggling schoolwork, job applications, and the app development was another curveball thrown their way. “But when you’re really passionate about it, you can do it. Not everyone has to drop out of college to build a startup.” Shifat said. CrossRoads Create will be launched this week, and the founders have been busy preparing their launch strategy, promoting their product through extensive use of social media marketing campaigns, maintaining their landing page, and interacting with the Center for Startups. 39. What do we know about Sharfuz Shifat? A. He founded Meliora LaunchPad after his graduation from university. B. He is responsible for improving the experience of the app users. C. He thinks it more important to start a business than pursue a degree. D He is involved in promoting their app through social media. 40. Why did Nyaisonga prefer the hard way of developing the platform? A. Because it is money-saving. B. Because it allows the app to grow. C. Because it quickens development process. D. Because it takes time to get feedback from users. 41. What does “curveball” in Paragraph 5 refer to? A. Interest. B. Ambition. C. Difficulty. D. Confusion. 42. Which of the following was NOT one of the challenges they faced? A. Meeting the expectations of their teammates. B. Striking a balance between schoolwork and app development. C. Having access to the resources provided by the Center for Startups. D. Turning their thoughts about improving user experience into a reality. D A team of Japanese scientists has discovered genes that enable rice to survive high water, providing hope for better rice production in lowland areas that are affected by flooding. The genes, called SNORKEL genes, help rice grow longer stems to deal with higher water levels. Deep water rice generally produces low-yield (低产的) rice plants. But the researchers report they have succeeded in introducing the genes to rice varieties that are higher-yield. According to the report, as water levels rise, accumulation of the plant hormone (激素) ethylene (乙烯) makes the SNORKEL genes start working, making stem growth more rapid. When the researchers introduced the genes into rice that does not normally survive in deep water, they were able to rescue the plants from drowning. Motoyuki Ashikari, who headed the project, said his team is hoping to use the gene on long grain rice widely used in Southeast Asia to help stabilize production in flood areas where rice with the resistant gene is low in production about one-third to one-quarter that of regular rice. “Scientifically the gene that we found is rare but clear proof of a biological ability to adapt to a difficult environment,” he said. “It’s a genetic strategy specifically to survive flooding.” High water levels in rice field can be a serious problem. In some areas rains can cause water levels to rise dangerously high during the growing season and flash flooding can fully submerge plants for days or even weeks. Rice is a main food for billions, and while productivity has increased dramatically since the 1960s, yields must be doubled to meet projected requirements by 2050. More than 30 percent of Asian and 40 percent of African rice land is either lowland field or deep water field. Laurentius of Utrecht University said the study is significant because high-yield rice varieties cannot survive extremes of floods. “The introduction of these genes into high-yield varieties, using advanced breeding strategies, promises to improve the quality and quantity of rice.” he said. 43. What is the main character of SNORKEL genes? A. They prevent rice from being attacked by various diseases. B. They help rice grow taller in highland regions. C. They make rice grow tall enough to survive in deep water. D. They make rice be ripe within a shorter time. 44. According to Ashikai, the rice with the gene his team found ________. A. will be helpful for Southeast Asia B. has been widely used in Southeast Asia C. will be one third more expensive than regular rice D. is lower in production than regular rice 45. The underlined word “submerge” in the sixth paragraph probably means ________. A. cover B. damage C. produce D. kill 46. What Laurentius said in the last paragraph suggests that ________. A. rice will be planted on the farmland everywhere in the future B. rice with SNORKEL genes will be of high quality in the future C. high-yield rice varieties are not common nowadays D. the quality of rice is difficult to improve 第二节 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。第67～69题每题答案不超过5词，第70题答案不超过20词。（共4小题，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题（第1～3题每题答案不超过5词，第4题答案不超过20词）。 On a wonderful sunny day, Lynn Fainsilber Katz visited one of her favorite beaches, known for its crystal-clear water. She parked her car and headed for the shore with everything she needed for the day: a chair, a beach umbrella, flippers (脚蹼), sunglasses and a cooler. It was a difficult balancing act. “It was just really hard to climb over all the rocks, and I was struggling,” she said. She reached a part of the beach entrance where there was a large step down. Unsure if she could take the step safely, she paused, wondering what to do. “As I stood there a young, kind-of 30-something-year-old man came over to me and said, ‘Can I help you?’ And I said, ‘Sure’” she recalled. The man took some of the things she was carrying. Then he gave her his hand to walk her down the step. Fainsilber Katz felt grateful. “As I age, I’m feeling a little bit more vulnerable (脆弱的) and not as strong and able to do the things that I want to do,” she said. “Having that kind of help and support at just that right moment felt like, ‘I can continue in the life that I want to have.’” The man’s act of kindness comforted Fainsilber Katz and reminded her that when life gets hard, you don’t have to do it alone. “If you feel like there’ll be somebody there who will help, then you can ... maintain the joy that you want to maintain in your life,” she said. “So that’s why I’m grateful to him because he helped me maintain that joy.” 47.

Summarize the main idea and the main point (s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. The Price of Winning Fourteen-year-old Angus sits on the bench, watching his baseball team play. He’s out of the game because he made a mistake. For his coach, that's unacceptable — mistakes don’t win games. But for most teens, the focus on winning isn’t as important. In a recent study, 90% of teenagers said they would rather play and lose than sit on the sidelines and not play at all. For them, sports are about fun, learning, and being part of a team. However, for many coaches and parents, winning is everything, and they expect perfection from young players. Unfortunately, this pressure to win drives many kids away from organized sports early on. In competitive events, nearly every action a player makes is examined. Parents and coaches constantly shout instructions, sometimes yelling at kids for errors or missed shots. This intense environment doesn’t let kids make their own choices or learn from their mistakes. Instead of enjoying the game, young players feel watched and judged every second. They lose the freedom to explore their abilities and develop naturally as athletes and individuals. The emphasis on winning creates deeper issues, too. Many kids feel anxious because they’re only praised for scoring goals or winning races, not for trying hard or improving. Over time, this focus on results can harm their self-confidence, especially if they’re often benched. They start to believe they’re only valuable if they perform perfectly, which can make sports feel like a burden instead of a joy. Two months later, Angus is back playing baseball — but not on a team. He’s at the park with friends, playing just for fun, and he’s much happier. This raises an important question: How many potential champions will quit sports unless adults change their attitude? For young athletes to thrive, they need support and encouragement, not the pressure to always win. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第二节 书面表达 （共1题，满分25分） 52. 假设你是李华。请根据以下图片顺序，写一篇英语短文，记录时间管理是如何改变你的学习和日常生活的。 注意：1、词数：150词。 2、可适当增添细节以使行文流畅。 Time Management ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
