Stretching 17. with 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了北京中轴线被列入联合国教科文组织世界遗产名录，成为中国第59处世界遗产，并详细描述了其构成和布局特点。 【14题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：北京中轴线已被列入联合国教科文组织世界遗产名录，成为中国第59处世界遗产。空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是Beijing Central Axis，指物，关系词在定语从句中作主语，需用关系代词which引导。故填which。 【15题详解】 考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：它展示了一系列建筑群和考古遗址，这些建筑群和遗址主导着北京旧城整体布局。that引导的定语从句缺少谓语，根据主句谓语shows可知，句子使用一般现在时，that指代先行词a whole of building complexes and archaeological sites，表示整体，所以空处谓语动词需用第三人称单数。故填governs。 【16题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：这条雕刻精美的中轴线南北长7.8公里，贯穿北京中心，由15个部分组成，北端是钟鼓楼，南端是永定门。空处需用非谓语动词作状语，stretch和逻辑主语the carved property之间为主谓关系，所以空处需用现在分词stretching作状语，句首单词首字母需大写。故填Stretching。 【17题详解】 考查with复合结构。句意同上。分析句子可知，此处为with复合结构（with+宾语+介词短语）作状语。故填with。 C 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容填空。在未给提示词的空白处仅填写1个恰当的单词，在给出提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。 Grammarly is a writing assistant that checks for spelling, grammar, and punctuation (标点符号) errors, and enhances vocabulary ____18____ (use).

Some users may become so reliant on it that they fail to develop their writing skills. 【答案】18. usage 19. based 20. that 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了写作辅助工具 Grammarly 的功能及其主要缺点。 【18题详解】 考查名词。句意：Grammarly是一款写作助手，它可以检查拼写、语法和标点符号错误，并提升词汇运用。空处作宾语，需填名词usage，为不可数名词。故填usage。 【19题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：Grammarly会根据发现的问题和错误数量，为你的文档给出一个总分。空处为非谓语动词作后置定语，an overall score和base on为逻辑动宾关系，需用过去分词形式。故填based。 【20题详解】 考查表语从句。句意：Grammarly 最大的缺点之一是，它可能会导致人们过度依赖这项极具吸引力的技术。空处引导表语从句，从句不缺成分，且引导词没有含义，需用连接词that引导。故填that。 第二部分：阅读理解（共两节， 共38分） 第一节（共14小题，每小题2分，共28分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A With the arrival of digital technology, digital libraries now have a wealth of free resources, making information easily accessible at no cost.

Then an airplane came into his sight. Gelinne looked up just in time to see that small air plane a few hundred yards away, losing control. As the plane disappeared behind the trees, Gelinne, a former Navy officer, realized it was going to land in the lake. He flashed on a moment from more than 20 years earlier: Gelinne was at work in a bank. When a fire alarm rang, he escaped from the chaos but has always wondered if he could have stayed inside and helped. On this day, Gelinne didn’t hesitate. He ran down to the waterfront. The plane had skidded (侧滑) to a stop on the broad, frozen lake, far from shore. It was now sinking. The pilot was standing on the wing. Gelinne knew from his Navy training that even a few minutes in the icy water could kill the pilot. Gelinne tested the ice with his foot and decided not to take any chances walking on it. So he pulled a boat out from under his back deck. Then he set off, pushing his boat across the ice. It was tough work. When Gelinne reached the plane, it had broken through the ice and sunk; only its tail was visible. The pilot was standing on a tail wing, submerged up to his chest, surrounded by open water. Gelinne pushed his boat off the ice and into the water, paddling (划) toward the pilot. Gelinne focused on keeping the pilot calm, joking, “Just hang on to the boat as if you were hugging your wife.” The pilot grabbed the boat’s bow, but Gelinne knew he had to get the pilot out of the water and up onto the shelf of unbroken ice behind him before the man lost too much body heat. By now a police officer had arrived and radioed for help. A lifeboat appeared, breaking through ice as it arrived. It picked up the pilot and rushed him to safety. Later the boat returned to help Gelinne, now extremely tired, to shore. “I’m 60 years old,” Gelinne says. “There was no way I could get him to shore.” Still, he was satisfied he’d gone the right way that day. 24. Why did Gelinne run outside without hesitation? A. He had rescucing experience. B. He wanted to offer help in time. C. He needed more time to prepare. D. He was amazed at what had happened. 25. How did Gelinne help the pilot? A. He made a call to the police. B. He got the pilot out of the water. C. He asked the pilot to grasp the bow. D. He picked up the pilot onto the shore. 26. What Gelinne did in the rescue proved him to be ____________. A. generous B. brave C. curious D. strict 27. What can Gelinne probably learn from the rescue? A. Think twice before action. B. One good turn deserves another. C. It’s never too late to make things right. D. One should always be ready to seize chances. 【答案】24. B 25. C 26. B 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了60岁的男子Gelinne在看到一架小飞机失控即将坠入湖中时，毫不犹豫地前去救援的故事。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“On this day, Gelinne didn’t hesitate.(这一天，杰琳没有犹豫。)”和第四段中“Gelinne tested the ice with his foot and decided not to take any chances walking on it. So he pulled a boat out from under his back deck.(Gelinne用脚试了试冰面，决定不冒险在上面走。于是他从后甲板下拉出一条船。)”可推知，Gelinne毫不犹豫地跑出去是为了及时提供救援。故选B项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段中“Gelinne focused on keeping the pilot calm, joking, “Just hang on to the boat as if you were hugging your wife.” The pilot grabbed the boat’s bow, but Gelinne knew he had to get the pilot out of the water and up onto the shelf of unbroken ice behind him before the man lost too much body heat.(Gelinne专注于让飞行员保持冷静，他开玩笑说：“只要抓住船，就像你在拥抱你的妻子一样。”飞行员抓住船头，但Gelinne知道，他必须在飞行员失去太多体温之前，把他从水里救出来，爬到他身后未碎的冰架上。)”可知，Gelinne让飞行员抓住船头。故选C项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“On this day, Gelinne didn’t hesitate. He ran down to the waterfront.(这一天，Gelinne没有犹豫。他跑到水边。)”、第五段中“Then he set off, pushing his boat across the ice. It was tough work.(然后他出发了，推着他的船穿过冰面。这是一项艰苦的工作。)”和倒数第二段中“Later the boat returned to help Gelinne, now extremely tired, to shore.(过了一会儿，小船又回来了，帮助此时极度疲惫的Gelinne上岸。)”可知，60岁的Gelinne不顾安危，毫不犹豫地去拯救掉到湖里的飞行员，说明他非常勇敢。故选B项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“He flashed on a moment from more than 20 years earlier: Gelinne was at work in a bank. When a fire alarm rang, he escaped from the chaos but has always wondered if he could have stayed inside and helped.(他突然想起了20多年前的一幕：杰琳在一家银行工作。当火灾警报响起时，他从混乱中逃了出来，但他一直在想自己是否能留在屋里帮忙。)”可知，Gelinne一直为20多年前的行为感到懊悔，结合最后一段中“Still, he was satisfied he’d gone the right way that day.(尽管如此，他还是很满意自己那天做出了正确的选择。)”可推知，Gelinne这次做出了正确的选择，弥补了过去的遗憾。由此推知，从这次救援中，Gelinne明白了：亡羊补牢，为时未晚。故选C项。 C If you’re heading for your nearest branch of Waterstones, the biggest book retailer in the UK, in search of the Duchess of Sussex’s new children’s book The Bench, you might have to be prepared to hunt around a bit, the same may be true of The President’s Daughter, the new thriller by Bill Clinton and James Patterson. Both of these books are published next week by Penguin Random House (PRH), a company currently involved in a stand-off with Waterstones. The problem began late last year, when PRH confirmed that it had introduced a credit limit with Waterstones “at a very significant level”. The trade magazine The Bookseller reported that Waterstones branch managers were being told to remove PRH books from prominent areas such as tables, display spaces and windows, and were “quietly retiring them to their relevant sections”. PRH declined to comment on the issue, but a spokesperson for Waterstones told me: “Waterstones are currently operating with reduced credit terms from PRH, the only publisher in the UK to place any limitations on our ability to trade. We are not boycotting PRH titles but we are doing our utmost to ensure that availability for customers remains good despite the lower overall levels of stock.” “We are hopeful with our shops now open again that normality will return and that we will be allowed to buy appropriately. Certainly, our shops are exceptionally busy. The sales for our May Books of the Month surpassed any month since 2018.” In the meantime, PRH authors have been the losers. Big-name PRH authors may suffer a bit, but it’s those mid-list authors, who normally rely on Waterstones staff’s passion for promoting books by lesser-known writers, who will be praying for an end to the dispute. It comes at a time when authors are already worried about the consequences of the proposed merger between PRH and another big publisher, Simon & Schuster — the reduction in the number of unaligned UK publishers is likely to lead to fewer bidding wars, lower advances, and more conformity in terms of what is published. “This is all part of a wider change towards concentration of power,” says literary agent Andrew Lownie. “The publishing industry talks about diversity in terms of authors and staff but it also needs a plurality of ways of delivering intellectual contact, choice and different voices. After all, many of the most interesting books in recent years have come from small publishers.” We shall see whether that plurality is a casualty of the current need among publishers to be big enough to take on all-comers. 28. The author mentions two books in Paragraph 1 to present ________. A. an ongoing conflict. B. an intellectual concept. C. a prevailing sentiment. D. a literary phenomenon. 29. What message does the spokesperson for Waterstones seem to convey? A. Their stock is underestimated. B. Their customers remain loyal. C. The book market is rather slack. D. The credit limit will be removed. 30. Which of the following statements best represents Lownie’s view? A. Small publishers ought to stick together. B. Big publishers will lose their dominance. C. The publishing industry is having a hard time. D. The merger of publishers is a worrying trend. 【答案】28. A 29. B 30. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要介绍英国企鹅兰登书屋与沃特斯通书店的商业纠纷、影响及业内对出版业合并趋势的担忧。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Both of these books are published next week by Penguin Random House (PRH), a company currently involved in a stand-off with Waterstones.(这两本书都将于下周由企鹅兰登书屋出版，该公司目前与沃特斯通书店处于对峙状态。)”可知，作者提及两本书是为了引出两家公司正在进行的冲突。故选A项。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Certainly, our shops are exceptionally busy. The sales for our May Books of the Month surpassed any month since 2018.(当然，我们的门店异常繁忙。五月月度图书的销量超过了2018年以来的任何一个月。)”可知，沃特斯通书店发言人想传达顾客依然忠诚、门店生意很好。故选B项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第五段““This is all part of a wider change towards concentration of power,” says literary agent Andrew Lownie. “The publishing industry talks about diversity in terms of authors and staff but it also needs a plurality of ways of delivering intellectual contact, choice and different voices. After all, many of the most interesting books in recent years have come from small publishers.”（文学经纪人安德鲁·洛尼表示：“这都是走向权力集中的更大变革的一部分。出版业在作者和员工构成方面谈论多样性，但它也需要多种途径来实现知识交流、供给选择和不同声音。毕竟，近年来许多最有趣的书籍都来自小型出版商”）”可推知，洛尼认为出版商合并会导致行业权力集中，挤压小出版商生存空间，损害行业多样性，因此出版商合并是令人担忧的趋势。故选D。 D In the 20th century, the definition of progress seemed clear. It was growth, measured in terms of national income, or gross domestic product (GDP). And that growth was to be endless, an ever-rising curve. No matter how rich a nation already was, its politicians and economists would consistently claim that the solutions to its problems — from poverty to pollution — depended on yet more growth. But unfortunately, this promise has not been delivered on. First, it’s useful to recognize that growth, after all, is a wonderful, healthy phase of life, which is why people the world over love to see children, gardens and trees grow. No wonder the western mind so readily accepted it as the shape of economic progress, too, and simultaneously adopted the very 20th-century mantra that “more is better”, both personally and nationally. Yet if we look to nature, it’s clear that nothing succeeds by growing forever: anything that seeks to do so will, in the process, destroy itself or the system on which it depends. Things that succeed grow until they are grown up, at which point they mature, enabling them to thrive, sometimes for hundreds of years. As the biomimicry (仿生学) pioneer Janine Benyus reminds us, a tree keeps growing only up to the point that it is still capable of sending nutrients to the leaves at the outermost tips of its branches, at which point it stops. Its pursuit of growth is bounded by a greater goal of distributing and circulating the resources that nurture and sustain the health of its whole being. Although we can easily appreciate the limits of growth in the living world, when it comes to our economies, we have a harder time. Thanks to the availability of cheap fossil fuel-based energy in the 20th century, rapid economic growth came to be seen as normal and natural, indeed as essential. Its continuation over many decades led to the creation of institutional designs and policies that are dependent on growth without end. In other words, we have inherited economies that need to grow, whether or not they make us thrive. This requirement has become so locked into economic theories, political narratives and public expectations that, over recent decades, we’ve witnessed desperate and often destructive measures designed to reboot growth when it becomes elusive. Instead of excessively pursuing growth, it is time to pursue well-being for all people as part of a thriving world, with policymaking that is designed in the service of this goal. This results in a very different conception of progress: in the place of endless growth we seek a dynamic balance, one that aims to meet the essential needs of every person while protecting the life-supporting systems of our planetary home. Tackling inequality needs to be at the heart of a new eco-social contract. Not only does this bring benefits in terms of improving life satisfaction; it helps us reduce the size of our national ecological footprints, via the well-documented links between greater fairness and more moderate consumption. It can also help to block the concentration of wealth and economic power in the hands of a few, therefore avoiding a system that advantages the already wealthy. When we turn away from growth as the goal, we can focus directly on asking what it would take to deliver social and ecological well-being, through an economy that is regenerative and distributive by design. There are many possibilities — such as driving a low-carbon, zero-waste industrial transformation, with a green jobs guarantee, alongside personal carbon allowances and progressive wealth taxes. Policies like these were, only a decade ago, considered too radical to be realistic. Today they look nothing less than essential. 31. The author cites Janine Benyus to illustrate that . A. unlimited growth is not necessarily sustainable B. growth should be limited to protect the resources C. the view that “more is better” also applies to nature D. nature provides a perfect model for economic growth 32. What does the underlined word “elusive” in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Hard to tell. B. Tricky to tackle. C. Tough to achieve. D. Difficult to understand. 33. It can be inferred from the passage that .

Which of the following best describes the organization of this article? A. Identifying a pressing problem, offering various solutions, and evaluating their effectiveness. B. Explaining a natural process, relating it to human activities, and suggesting a change in view. C. Presenting a traditional view discussing its appeal and limitations, and proposing a new approach. D. Introducing a well-known theory, comparing it with another theory, and suggesting improvements. 【答案】31. A 32. C 33. A 34. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要批判以无限经济增长定义进步的传统观念，指出其不可持续性，并提出以全民福祉和生态平衡为核心的新发展理念。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“As the biomimicry pioneer Janine Benyus reminds us, a tree keeps growing only up to the point that it is still capable of sending nutrients to the leaves at the outermost tips of its branches, at which point it stops. Its pursuit of growth is bounded by a greater goal of distributing and circulating the resources that nurture and sustain the health of its whole being. (正如仿生学先驱简宁·贝尼乌斯提醒我们的那样，一棵树只会生长到它仍能将养分输送到树枝最顶端的叶子的程度，之后就会停止生长。它对生长的追求，受制于一个更宏大的目标，即分配和循环那些滋养并维持其整体健康的资源。)”可知，作者引用简宁·贝尼乌斯的观点，是为了说明无限制的增长并非具有可持续性。故选A项。 【32题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第五段中的“This requirement has become so locked into economic theories, political narratives and public expectations that, over recent decades, we’ve witnessed desperate and often destructive measures designed to reboot growth when it becomes elusive. (这种增长需求已经深深植根于经济理论、政治叙事和公众期望之中，以至于近几十年来，当增长变得elusive时，我们看到了种种孤注一掷且往往具有破坏性的举措，旨在重新推动增长。)”可知，人们会采取极端措施重启增长，由此推测“elusive”的含义是“难以实现的”，与“tough to achieve”意思相近。故选C项。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第七段中的“Not only does this bring benefits in terms of improving life satisfaction; it helps us reduce the size of our national ecological footprints, via the well-documented links between greater fairness and more moderate consumption. (这不仅能提升生活满意度，还有充分证据表明，更大程度的公平与更为适度的消费之间存在关联，因此这也有助于我们缩小国家的生态足迹。)”可知，社会公平度的提升会促使人们消费更适度，进而更合理地利用资源。故选A项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，第一段先提出20世纪以GDP增长定义进步的传统观念；第二、三段论述该观念的由来及自然界中增长存在边界的局限性；第四、五段指出无限增长需求对经济和社会的负面影响；第六至八段提出以全民福祉和生态平衡为目标的新发展理念及相关政策。因此文章的结构是“提出传统观点—探讨其吸引力与局限性—提出新方案”。故选C项。 第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，共10分） 根据短文内容，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项。 In our constant pursuit of productivity and achievement, we often overlook the quality of our daily experiences. We fill our hours with tasks, yet wonder why we so frequently feel exhausted, distracted, or unsatisfied. What if the key to a more fulfilling life isn’t about doing more, but about doing differently? ___35___ Activities actually can be divided into different categories. Understanding what each category truly is helps make better choices. Pleasing activities are low-effort, high-reward. You don’t need to plan them far in advance or clear out a full afternoon. It might be a walk in nature, listening to your favorite playlist, or calling a friend just to say hello. ___36___ One of the biggest misconceptions about fun is that it has to be some grand event. In truth, the most restorative moments often come from these smaller, everyday pleasures. Living activities are the activities that stretch you. They might feel challenging at first, but they match with your values and leave you with a real sense of meaning. ___37___ These types of experiences take more effort than Pleasing activities, but they often help us feel more alive. Yielding activities are activities that require little effort but offer little satisfaction. ___38___ Or visualize the repeated check of your inbox without urgency. These activities can be harmless ways to relax. But when overused, they quietly replace more meaningful experiences. Once you’ve reflected on how you currently spend your time, try making one small shift each day. Choose a Pleasing or Living activity you would like to engage in more, even something simple like a short walk or trying something new that is consistent with your values. ___39___ A. Try to change how you handle these activities. B. Think of the mindless scanning through social media. C. This begins by recognizing that not all activities affect us equally. D. These are simple joys that don’t require much but offer a genuine reward. E. This could be doing the things that leave you exhausted. F. The goal is to replace distracted moments with engaged ones. G. It could be learning a new skill that pushes you out of your comfort zone. 【答案】35. C 36. D 37. G 38. B 39. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍不同类型的日常活动及其特点，指出调整活动选择能让生活更充实，而非单纯追求多做事。 【35题详解】 根据空前“What if the key to a more fulfilling life isn’t about doing more, but about doing differently? (如果更充实生活的关键不在于做更多事，而在于换种方式做事呢？)”以及空后“Activities actually can be divided into different categories. Understanding what each category truly is helps make better choices. (实际上，活动可以分为不同的类别。了解每个类别的真正含义有助于做出更好的选择。)”可知，此空应起到承上启下的作用，引出“活动有不同分类”的观点，C选项“This begins by recognizing that not all activities affect us equally. (这始于要意识到并非所有活动对我们的影响都是相同的。)”中的this指代前文提到的“换种方式做事让生活更充实”，且引出后文的活动分类，符合语境。故选C项。 36题详解】 根据空前“Pleasing activities are low-effort, high-reward. You don’t need to plan them far in advance or clear out a full afternoon. It might be a walk in nature, listening to your favorite playlist, or calling a friend just to say hello. (愉悦类活动是低投入、高回报的。你不需要提前很久计划，也不需要腾出一整个下午的时间。它可能是在大自然中散步，听你最喜欢的播放列表，或者打电话给朋友只是问候一声。)”以及空后“One of the biggest misconceptions about fun is that it has to be some grand event. In truth, the most restorative moments often come from these smaller, everyday pleasures. (关于乐趣最大的误解之一是它必须是某种盛大的活动。事实上，最能让人恢复精力的时刻往往来自这些微小的日常乐趣。)”可知，此空应是对愉悦类活动特点的进一步总结，D选项“These are simple joys that don’t require much but offer a genuine reward. (这些都是简单的乐趣，不需要太多投入却能带来真正的愉悦感。)”中的these指代前文提到的散步、听音乐等愉悦类活动，且与前后文的表意一致，符合语境。故选D项。 【37题详解】 根据空前“Living activities are the activities that stretch you. They might feel challenging at first, but they match with your values and leave you with a real sense of meaning. (成长类活动是能让你得到锻炼的活动。它们一开始可能会让人觉得有挑战性，但符合你的价值观，还能给你带来真正的意义感。)”以及空后“These types of experiences take more effort than Pleasing activities, but they often help us feel more alive. (这类体验比愉悦类活动需要更多精力，但它们往往能让我们感觉更有活力。)”可知，此空应是列举成长类活动的具体例子，G选项“It could be learning a new skill that pushes you out of your comfort zone. (它可能是学习一项能让你走出舒适区的新技能。)”中的it指代前文的living activities，且符合成长类活动“有挑战性、能带来意义感”的特点，符合语境。故选G项。 【38题详解】 根据空前“Yielding activities are activities that require little effort but offer little satisfaction. (消耗类活动是那些投入少但带来的满足感也少的活动。)”以及空后“Or visualize the repeated check of your inbox without urgency. These activities can be harmless ways to relax. But when overused, they quietly replace more meaningful experiences. (或者想象一下，没什么急事却反复查看收件箱的场景。这些活动可以是无害的放松方式，但如果过度沉迷，就会悄悄取代更有意义的体验。)”可知，此空应是列举消耗类活动的具体例子，B选项“Think of the mindless scanning through social media. (想想无意识地刷社交媒体的行为。)”与空后的“反复查看收件箱”并列，均属于消耗类活动，符合语境。故选B项。 【39题详解】 根据空前“Once you’ve reflected on how you currently spend your time, try making one small shift each day. Choose a Pleasing or Living activity you would like to engage in more, even something simple like a short walk or trying something new that is consistent with your values. (一旦你反思了自己目前的时间分配方式，试着每天做出一点小小的改变。选择一项你更想参与的愉悦类或成长类活动，哪怕是像短途散步这样简单的事，或者尝试一件符合你价值观的新事物。)”可知，此空应是总结这种时间调整的目的，F选项“The goal is to replace distracted moments with engaged ones. (这样做的目的是用专注投入的时光取代分心虚度的时刻。)”中的the goal指代前文提到的“每天做出一点小改变”，且点明了调整时间分配的意义，符合语境。故选F项。 第三部分：书面表达（共两节， 32分） 第一节 阅读表达（共4小题，第40、41小题各2分，第42小题3分，第43小题5分，共12分） 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。 Ghanim Al-Muftah, 2022 Qatar World Cup Ambassador(大使), was born on May 5, 2002, with a rare condition known as Caudal Regression Syndrome, which causes its patients to be born without the lower half of the body. Naturally, one would expect him to use a wheelchair, but he insists on moving around on his hands because he believes that he should make use of everything with which he is blessed rather than focus on what he doesn’t have. While Ghanim was growing up, he found it difficult to attend school initially because his classmates played jokes on him. Nevertheless, his mom encouraged him to speak to these classmates, teach them about his condition, and raise awareness for the community. Ghanim has gone further at accepting his condition. Ghanim has overcome all kinds of difficulties in his life, yet, there is still one issue Ghanim must continually deal with-many medical treatments and surgery. Despite these routine medical treatments, he knows that with faith, commitment and hard work he will be free to accomplish his ambitions. Ghanim refused to let his condition stop his thirst for life and took on various sports-tackling everything from scuba diving, rock climbing to skateboarding. It is this exemplary take and attitudes towards life that have earned him the love, respect, and admiration of millions of people in Qatar and across the globe. Currently in university studying political science, Al Muftah hopes to become a diplomat one day. He is also a major social media star, with millions of followers on social media. And he spoke about his future ambitions on the university’s website, saying, “I hope to help raise public awareness on disability rights; foster respect for disabled persons and through the process promote more inclusive and tolerant societies.” 40. Why does Ghanim insist on walking with his hands instead of using a wheelchair? _________________________________________________________ 41. What problem does Ghanim have to handle continually? _________________________________________________________ 42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. Ghanim believes he will accomplish his ambitions through taking on a range of sports and speaking out on social media. _________________________________________________________ 43. While Ghanim has earned respect of people across the globe, how do you earn respect of people around you? (In about 40 words) _________________________________________________________ 【答案】40 Because he believes that he should make use of what he is blessed with instead of what he lacks. 41. Many medical treatments and surgery. 42. Ghanim believes he will accomplish his ambitions through taking on a range of sports and speaking out on social media. Because Ghanim believes he will accomplish his ambitions with faith, commitment and hard work./ Ghanim knows that with faith, commitment and hard work he will be free to accomplish his ambitions. 43. Honest with others, never telling lies , knowing how to care for others and be modest to others are important. As long as we abide by the above mentioned, we will find it easy to be respected by others. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述的是2022年卡塔尔世界杯形象大使Ghanim Al-Muftah的个人故事。 【40题详解】 考查细节理解题。根据第二段中“Naturally, one would expect him to use a wheelchair, but he insists on moving around on his hands because he believes that he should make use of everything with which he is blessed rather than focus on what he doesn’t have.(自然地，人们会认为他使用轮椅，但他坚持用手走动，因为他认为他应该利用他有幸拥有的一切，而不是专注于他没有的东西。)”可知，他之所以坚持用手走动，是因为他认为他应该利用他所拥有的一切，而不是专注于他没有的东西。故答案为Because he believes that he should make use of what he is blessed with instead of what he lacks。 【41题详解】 考查细节理解题。根据第四段中“Ghanim has overcome all kinds of difficulties in his life, yet, there is still one issue Ghanim must continually deal with-many medical treatments and surgery. (Ghanim已经克服了生活中的各种困难，但仍有一个问题是Ghanim必须不断面对的——多次治疗和手术。)”可知，Ghanim必须不断面对多次的治疗和手术。故答案为Many medical treatments and surgery。 【42题详解】 考查细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Despite these routine medical treatments, he knows that with faith, commitment and hard work he will be free to accomplish his ambitions. (尽管有这些常规的医疗治疗，他知道只要有信念、承诺和努力工作，他就可以自由地实现他的雄心壮志。)”可知，题干中“Ghanim believes he will accomplish his ambitions through taking on a range of sports and speaking out on social media.( Ghanim相信，他将通过参与一系列运动并在社交媒体上发表言论来实现自己的雄心。)”中的“他将通过参与一系列运动并在社交媒体上发表言论来实现自己的雄心”为错误部分，他认为只要有信念、承诺和努力工作，他就可以自由地实现他的雄心壮志。原文要求对错误句子进行下划线标注，故答案为Ghanim believes he will accomplish his ambitions through taking on a range of sports and speaking out on social media. Because Ghanim believes he will accomplish his ambitions with faith, commitment and hard work. / Ghanim knows that with faith, commitment and hard work he will be free to accomplish his ambitions。 【43题详解】 开放式题目考查。根据题干要求“While Ghanim has earned respect of people across the globe, how do you earn respect of people around you?( Ghanim赢得了全世界人民的尊重，你如何赢得周围人的尊重呢？)”可知，题干根据实际要求回答如何赢得周围人的尊敬，回答合理即可。在日常生活中，获得他人尊重需要做到诚实、谦虚和体贴他人。故参考答案为：Honest with others, never telling lies , knowing how to care for others and be modest to others are important. As long as we abide by the above mentioned, we will find it easy to be respected by others。 第二节 写作（20分） 44. 假设你是红星中学高三学生李华，从好友英国交换生Jim的邮件中得知，他在选择大学专业上与父母发生分歧。请你给Jim回复一封邮件，内容包括： 1.分析存在问题； 2.提出解决建议。 注意： 1.词数100左右； 2.开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Jim, ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Possible version Dear Jim, I’m sorry to hear you’re having a disagreement with your parents about choosing a university major.

Then an airplane came into his sight. Gelinne looked up just in time to see that small air plane a few hundred yards away, losing control. As the plane disappeared behind the trees, Gelinne, a former Navy officer, realized it was going to land in the lake. He flashed on a moment from more than 20 years earlier: Gelinne was at work in a bank. When a fire alarm rang, he escaped from the chaos but has always wondered if he could have stayed inside and helped. On this day, Gelinne didn’t hesitate. He ran down to the waterfront. The plane had skidded (侧滑) to a stop on the broad, frozen lake, far from shore. It was now sinking. The pilot was standing on the wing. Gelinne knew from his Navy training that even a few minutes in the icy water could kill the pilot. Gelinne tested the ice with his foot and decided not to take any chances walking on it. So he pulled a boat out from under his back deck. Then he set off, pushing his boat across the ice. It was tough work. When Gelinne reached the plane, it had broken through the ice and sunk; only its tail was visible. The pilot was standing on a tail wing, submerged up to his chest, surrounded by open water. Gelinne pushed his boat off the ice and into the water, paddling (划) toward the pilot. Gelinne focused on keeping the pilot calm, joking, “Just hang on to the boat as if you were hugging your wife.” The pilot grabbed the boat’s bow, but Gelinne knew he had to get the pilot out of the water and up onto the shelf of unbroken ice behind him before the man lost too much body heat. By now a police officer had arrived and radioed for help. A lifeboat appeared breaking through ice as it arrived. It picked up the pilot and rushed him to safety. Later the boat returned to help Gelinne, now extremely tired, to shore. “I’m 60 years old,” Gelinne says. “There was no way I could get him to shore.” Still, he was satisfied he’d gone the right way that day. 24. Why did Gelinne run outside without hesitation? A He had rescucing experience. B. He wanted to offer help in time. C. He needed more time to prepare. D. He was amazed at what had happened. 25. How did Gelinne help the pilot? A. He made a call to the police. B. He got the pilot out of the water. C. He asked the pilot to grasp the bow. D. He picked up the pilot onto the shore. 26. What Gelinne did in the rescue proved him to be ____________. A. generous B. brave C. curious D. strict 27. What can Gelinne probably learn from the rescue? A. Think twice before action. B. One good turn deserves another. C. It’s never too late to make things right. D. One should always be ready to seize chances. C If you’re heading for your nearest branch of Waterstones, the biggest book retailer in the UK, in search of the Duchess of Sussex’s new children’s book The Bench, you might have to be prepared to hunt around a bit, the same may be true of The President’s Daughter, the new thriller by Bill Clinton and James Patterson. Both of these books are published next week by Penguin Random House (PRH), a company currently involved in a stand-off with Waterstones. The problem began late last year, when PRH confirmed that it had introduced a credit limit with Waterstones “at a very significant level”. The trade magazine The Bookseller reported that Waterstones branch managers were being told to remove PRH books from prominent areas such as tables, display spaces and windows, and were “quietly retiring them to their relevant sections”. PRH declined to comment on the issue, but a spokesperson for Waterstones told me: “Waterstones are currently operating with reduced credit terms from PRH, the only publisher in the UK to place any limitations on our ability to trade. We are not boycotting PRH titles but we are doing our utmost to ensure that availability for customers remains good despite the lower overall levels of stock.” “We are hopeful with our shops now open again that normality will return and that we will be allowed to buy appropriately. Certainly, our shops are exceptionally busy. The sales for our May Books of the Month surpassed any month since 2018.” In the meantime, PRH authors have been the losers. Big-name PRH authors may suffer a bit, but it’s those mid-list authors, who normally rely on Waterstones staff’s passion for promoting books by lesser-known writers, who will be praying for an end to the dispute. It comes at a time when authors are already worried about the consequences of the proposed merger between PRH and another big publisher, Simon & Schuster — the reduction in the number of unaligned UK publishers is likely to lead to fewer bidding wars, lower advances, and more conformity in terms of what is published. “This is all part of a wider change towards concentration of power,” says literary agent Andrew Lownie. “The publishing industry talks about diversity in terms of authors and staff but it also needs a plurality of ways of delivering intellectual contact, choice and different voices. After all, many of the most interesting books in recent years have come from small publishers.” We shall see whether that plurality is a casualty of the current need among publishers to be big enough to take on all-comers. 28. The author mentions two books in Paragraph 1 to present ________. A. an ongoing conflict. B. an intellectual concept. C. a prevailing sentiment. D. a literary phenomenon. 29. What message does the spokesperson for Waterstones seem to convey? A. Their stock is underestimated. B. Their customers remain loyal. C. The book market is rather slack. D. The credit limit will be removed. 30. Which of the following statements best represents Lownie’s view? A. Small publishers ought to stick together. B. Big publishers will lose their dominance. C. The publishing industry is having a hard time. D. The merger of publishers is a worrying trend. D In the 20th century, the definition of progress seemed clear. It was growth, measured in terms of national income, or gross domestic product (GDP). And that growth was to be endless, an ever-rising curve. No matter how rich a nation already was, its politicians and economists would consistently claim that the solutions to its problems — from poverty to pollution — depended on yet more growth. But unfortunately, this promise has not been delivered on. First, it’s useful to recognize that growth, after all, is a wonderful, healthy phase of life, which is why people the world over love to see children, gardens and trees grow. No wonder the western mind so readily accepted it as the shape of economic progress, too, and simultaneously adopted the very 20th-century mantra that “more is better”, both personally and nationally. Yet if we look to nature, it’s clear that nothing succeeds by growing forever: anything that seeks to do so will, in the process, destroy itself or the system on which it depends. Things that succeed grow until they are grown up, at which point they mature, enabling them to thrive, sometimes for hundreds of years. As the biomimicry (仿生学) pioneer Janine Benyus reminds us, a tree keeps growing only up to the point that it is still capable of sending nutrients to the leaves at the outermost tips of its branches, at which point it stops. Its pursuit of growth is bounded by a greater goal of distributing and circulating the resources that nurture and sustain the health of its whole being. Although we can easily appreciate the limits of growth in the living world, when it comes to our economies, we have a harder time. Thanks to the availability of cheap fossil fuel-based energy in the 20th century, rapid economic growth came to be seen as normal and natural, indeed as essential. Its continuation over many decades led to the creation of institutional designs and policies that are dependent on growth without end. In other words, we have inherited economies that need to grow, whether or not they make us thrive. This requirement has become so locked into economic theories, political narratives and public expectations that, over recent decades, we’ve witnessed desperate and often destructive measures designed to reboot growth when it becomes elusive. Instead of excessively pursuing growth, it is time to pursue well-being for all people as part of a thriving world, with policymaking that is designed in the service of this goal. This results in a very different conception of progress: in the place of endless growth we seek a dynamic balance, one that aims to meet the essential needs of every person while protecting the life-supporting systems of our planetary home. Tackling inequality needs to be at the heart of a new eco-social contract. Not only does this bring benefits in terms of improving life satisfaction; it helps us reduce the size of our national ecological footprints, via the well-documented links between greater fairness and more moderate consumption. It can also help to block the concentration of wealth and economic power in the hands of a few, therefore avoiding a system that advantages the already wealthy. When we turn away from growth as the goal, we can focus directly on asking what it would take to deliver social and ecological well-being, through an economy that is regenerative and distributive by design. There are many possibilities — such as driving a low-carbon, zero-waste industrial transformation, with a green jobs guarantee, alongside personal carbon allowances and progressive wealth taxes. Policies like these were, only a decade ago, considered too radical to be realistic. Today they look nothing less than essential. 31. The author cites Janine Benyus to illustrate that . A. unlimited growth is not necessarily sustainable B. growth should be limited to protect the resources C. the view that “more is better” also applies to nature D. nature provides a perfect model for economic growth 32.

Naturally, one would expect him to use a wheelchair, but he insists on moving around on his hands because he believes that he should make use of everything with which he is blessed rather than focus on what he doesn’t have. While Ghanim was growing up, he found it difficult to attend school initially because his classmates played jokes on him. Nevertheless, his mom encouraged him to speak to these classmates, teach them about his condition, and raise awareness for the community. Ghanim has gone further at accepting his condition. Ghanim has overcome all kinds of difficulties in his life, yet, there is still one issue Ghanim must continually deal with-many medical treatments and surgery. Despite these routine medical treatments, he knows that with faith, commitment and hard work he will be free to accomplish his ambitions. Ghanim refused to let his condition stop his thirst for life and took on various sports-tackling everything from scuba diving, rock climbing to skateboarding. It is this exemplary take and attitudes towards life that have earned him the love, respect, and admiration of millions of people in Qatar and across the globe. Currently in university studying political science Al Muftah hopes to become a diplomat one day. He is also a major social media star, with millions of followers on social media. And he spoke about his future ambitions on the university’s website, saying, “I hope to help raise public awareness on disability rights; foster respect for disabled persons and through the process promote more inclusive and tolerant societies.” 40.
