BRITISH COLUMBIA October 17-22 The city’s fashion week will take place at the Chinese Cultural Centre of Greater Vancouver.

B As Elizabeth Stone once said, “Having children is like having your heart go walking around outside of your body.” You send them off to school and hope that the world treats them kindly because when they hurt, you hurt. Surely it’s inevitable that your child will experience hurt feelings at some point. So, it’s wise to be ready for those moments. But what truly prepares you for the moment when the child you love so much unexpectedly heals the wounds of your own inner child? A mom, who goes by Soogia, posted a video on TikTok explaining a phone call she received from a parent in her daughter’s classroom. The mom called to inform Soogia that their kids had been sharing lunch with each other. Soogia wasn’t prepared for what came next The classmate’s mother informed her that her son loved the food Soogia’s daughter brought to school and wanted to learn how to cook it too. That may seem like a small thing to some, but the small gesture healed a little bit of Soogia’s inner child. Growing up as a Korean kid in California, Soogia had different experiences from her children. “I guess I just never thought that my kids would be the generation of kids that could go to school and not just proudly eat, but share their food with other kids that were just so open and accepting to it,” Soogia said through tears. “They don’t sit there eating their food alone, feeling ashamed and wishing that their fried rice was a bagel instead or something like that. And I know, it sounds so small and it sounds so stupid, but knowing that their experience at school is so different from mine in such a positive way is just so hopeful.” Soogia’s tearful video pulled at the heartstrings of her viewers who shared their thoughts in the comments. “These Gen Alpha babies really are a different, kinder generation. I love them so much,” someone revealed. 24. What is the purpose of quoting at the beginning of the passage? A. To illustrate the hard work of being a parent. B. To stress parents’ consistent concerns about their children. C. To introduce the story about a child’s growth that follows. D. To contrast the different feelings between parents and children. 25. Why did the classmate’s mother call Soogia? A. To ask for the lunch recipe her son loved. B. To invite Soogia to prepare lunch for the children together. C. To inform Soogia of her daughter’s understanding behavior at school. D. To express her appreciation for the lunch Soogia’s daughter brought. 26. What makes Soogia feel comforted? A. Her child can finally fit in with American society. B. Her child has gained friendship and recognition at school. C. Her child needn’t feel ashamed of their cultural background. D. Her child can share their favorite food with their classmates. 27. What can we infer about Soogia’s opinion of the new generation of children? A. Open-minded and inclusive. B. Adventurous and open-minded. C. Tolerant and ambitious. D. Friendly and ambitious. C The Happiness Myth Happiness is not natural. It is a mere human construct. A state of contentment (let alone happiness) is discouraged by our genetic design because it would lower our guard against possible threats to our survival. Chasing happiness is like chasing an elusive (难寻踪迹的) ghost, but the positive thinking industry claims to know its secrets. Self-help was popularized by Norman Vincent Peale, a colorful American pastor (牧师). He invented “positive thinking”, a concept now deeply embedded in our culture and steadily growing in influence. The global personal development industry was valued at $38. 28 billion in 2019 and is expected to grow at a rate of 5. 1%. Popular films and books are full of supposedly inspirational statements about how all you need to do is believe in yourself and then you’ll be able to achieve anything in life. This is simply, and obviously, not true. I don’t think there is a need to explain that many obstacles and misfortunes in life are inevitable, or unmanageable. Our ancestors knew this, and many philosophical and religious traditions are based on the acceptance that being alive is a very challenging task, which comes with significant amounts of suffering. It goes without saying that we should do all we can to maximize our sense of wellbeing and minimize our suffering (as the “utilitarian” philosophers explain), but the end result cannot be a state of sustained bliss (极乐). We are not designed that way. The self-help genre is not a homogeneous (同种类的) beast, however. It is, in fact, ironic how self-help books on happiness and those on how to make it big in life are put together in the same bookshop shelves, given that many of the former tell us that caring too much about the latter is the main obstacle to happiness. The inevitable clash between mandatory (强制的) optimism and the realities of our existence comes with a heavy psychological price. It could be argued that positive psychology blames those who are suffering for their suffering, as it is based on the false idea that unhappiness is entirely avoidable. It follows therefore that an unhappy person must be inadequate and incompetent. Positive psychology encourages people who are struggling with a particular goal to persevere in the face of unfavorable odds, which is much more punishing psychologically in the long run than accepting defeat. I believe that coming to terms with life as it is, and not as the happiness industry tells us it could be, will make us happier, and we will feel more at peace with ourselves and with the world. Unfortunately, the devil always has the best tunes. 28. What is author’s main purpose in writing the first three paragraphs? A. To analyze how personal development industry works. B. To explain how unrealistic it is to pursue happiness in life. C. To contrast modern people’s view of life with our ancestors’. D. To review how the concept of happiness has changed over years. 29. It seems ironic to the author that putting self-help books on happiness and those on how to “make it big” together because . A. they came from different publishers B. they offer completely opposite values C. their target readers belong to different age groups D they are the best-selling and slowest-selling books on the market 30. According to the article, which of the following quotes would the author most strongly disagree with? A. Happiness is a choice, and so is suffering. B. Happiness is ideal. It is the work of the imagination. C. Happiness is a by-product. You cannot pursue it by itself. D. The search for happiness is one of the chief sources of unhappiness. 31. What does the underlined sentence “the devil always has the best tunes” mean? A. The core idea of the happiness industry is a beautiful lie. B. The happiness industry has negative effects on the society. C. Suffering contributes more to a meaningful life than happiness. D. The one-sided interpretation of life proved more attractive to the public. D Scientists have calculated the total volume of plastic has incredibly amounted to 8.3 billion tonnes in the last 65 years, which is equivalent to 25,000 Empire State Buildings or one billion elephants. The core problem lies in the dominance of single-use plastic packaging, which is discarded instantly after a disposable use; A study by the University of California illustrates that a mere 9% of plastic waste is recyclable,12% is incinerated, and 79% ends up in landfills, where it endures permanently owing to the non-biodegradable characteristic of plastic substances. Ecologist Dr Roland Geyer, the lead author of the research, warns that humankind is rapidly advancing toward a “Planet Plastic”, noting that existing plastic waste could approximately cover the entirety of Argentina, a nation of considerable territory in South America. The research team further estimates that 8 million tonnes of plastic flow into seas annually, sparking the concerns that plastic enters human body via food chain when sea creatures absorb it. Plastic’s widespread application stems from its versatility and durability, which make it irreplaceable for applications ranging from daily yoghurt containers to intricate spacecraft, yet these very attributes also make it an environmental issue since the only feasible method to decompose plastic, results in harmful emissions. Oceanographer Dr Erik van Sebille from Utrecht University says we’re facing a tsunami of plastic waste, and that the global waste industry needs to get its act together. Professor Richard Thompson, a marine biologist from Plymouth University, says poor design is at fault. He says if products are currently designed with recyclability in mind, they could be recycled around 20 times over. Dr Geyer agrees: The holy grail of recycling is to keep material in use and in the loop for ever if you can. But it turns out in our study that actually 90% of that material that did get recycled, which I think we calculated was 600 million tonnes — only got recycled once. 32. What can we infer about the “Planet Plastic” mentioned by Dr Roland Geyer? A. Planet is entirely made of plastic. B. Plastic will cover the Earth extensively. C. A new planet is discovered with plastic-like substances. D. Argentina is the most polluted country by plastic. 33. Why does the author mention plastic’s “versatility and durability”? A. To advocate banning plastic B. To explain plastic’s wide use despite harm C. To prove plastic most useful D. To show advantages over harms 34. What does “get its act together” mean in paragraph? A. Cooperate to improve waste management B. Ban plastic production C. Collect more plastic waste D. Reduce research investment 35. What is Professor Thompson’s attitude towards solving plastic pollution? A. Critical B. Pessimistic C. Neutral D. Optimistic 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Gratitude is a positive emotion that recognizes the good that others have brought to our lives, and is important both for our interpersonal relationships and physical well-being. ____36____. A pioneering meta-analysis spanning 15 countries confirmed a significant inverse correlation-higher gratitude correlates with lower loneliness-highlighting gratitude’s potential to ease the global loneliness epidemic. Psychologist James Hittner notes loneliness results from unmet social relationship expectations, a psychological gap that often leads to emotional isolation and depression if left unaddressed. Hittner and Calvin Widholm analyzed 26 studies involving over 10,000 participants across diverse age groups and cultural backgrounds, finding a moderate inverse relationship between gratitude and loneliness. Those scoring above average in gratitude had a 62.4% chance of below-average loneliness, a statistic that held consistent even after controlling for factors like socioeconomic status. Neuroscientist Glenn Fox, who published the first direct study of gratitude in the brain in 2015, was not shocked by the result. ____37____. The research found gratitude boosts medial prefrontal cortex activity, a region tied to social bonding and the experience of joy, which further explains the emotional and neurological link between gratitude and reduced social disconnection. Bartlett a professor at Gonzaga University in Spokane, Washington, studies how our emotions have evolved to serve an adaptive social purposes____38____. Bartlett and her colleagues evaluated the long-term effect of gratitude on loneliness and health in older adults in a 2019 study. Over the course of 20 days, participants were asked to write down their daily grateful moments, specifying not just what they were thankful for but also why the experience mattered to them. This simple practice was reported to contribute to a sustained decrease in loneliness and a marked increase in physical and mental well-being in the participants. Some research has even shown the positive impact of gratitude-letter writing, which takes the reflective practice a step further with tangible expression. Bartlett often suggests gratitude-letter writing to her students as an exercise in emotional awareness. She asked her students to write to a person who they have never thanked, or someone have not expressed gratitude to for a long time. ____39____. To build a sustainable gratitude practice against chronic loneliness, Bartlett offers actionable, science-backed tips that go beyond basic daily reflection. First, record three good things and their specific contributors every day, rather than vague positive events. Second, write a physical gratitude letter to someone underappreciated and deliver it in person if possible, a gesture that requires vulnerability but often leads to deeply moving conversations. ____40____. Unlike texts or digital messages, hand-delivered letters foster authentic, deep interpersonal connection, directly easing loneliness. A. She focused on older adults in research B. Such practice strengthens interpersonal connections C. His brain study backed the finding D. Gradually, this cultivates a consistent gratitude routine E. It has also been linked to decreased loneliness. F. Gratitude lights the “social bonding” circuit G. She questions whether gratitude works in long-term studies 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 One freezing morning last February, I walked through Ontario Place.

She was a big dog on the Perkinses’ family farm, a woolly creature with floppy ears and paws like bedroom slippers. She protected the ducks and chickens from being eaten by foxes and raccoons (浣熊) . She guarded the children as well, watching over them as closely as she did the chickens and ducks. In winter the dog ran alongside the children as they sledded (滑雪橇) down snowy hills. In summer she swam with them in a nearby river. Bear belonged to a breed (品种) that had long been used by Atlantic fishermen to help with their work, and it had a keen instinct for water rescue. When the children were in the river, the dog would swim in circles around them, barking when she felt they went out too far. She was the perfect farm dog — companion, guardian, protector. The dog’s favorite among the three children was three-year-old little Mike. They often curled up together. Sometimes Bear would doze while Mike pretended to read to her. Often both were sound asleep, a tangle of dark fur, blond hair, small hands and huge paws. At bedtime, Mike saved his last hug for Bear, his “best friend”. On a cold winter day, when their parents went out to send a parcel, eight-year-old Martha, seven-year-old Sara and Mike, went to slide on the frozen pond of their farm. Shouting happily, they slid back and forth, their boots gliding easily across the ice. They laughed as they watched Bear’s attempts to stop suddenly, which would instead send her skidding beyond them. Then, tired, the three sat down on the ice, with Bear beside them. Suddenly the ice gave way under their combined weight. As Bear jumped for shore, the three children fell into the freezing cold water. Screaming, Martha and Sarah struggled to find footing on rocks underwater. Branches from a tree nearby provided handholds, and using every bit of their strength, the two girls pulled themselves to shore. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卷相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Looking back, they saw little Mike holding on to a broken chunk (大块) of ice, unable to crawl onto it. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Seeing that, Bear let out a series of woofs and jumped into the water, heading straight for Mike. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 河南省信阳高级中学新校（贤岭校区） 2025-2026学年高三下期03月二轮测试（一） 英语试题 考生注意： 1.答题前，请务必将自己的姓名、准考证号用黑色字迹的签字笔或钢笔分别填写在试题卷和答题纸规定的位置上。 2. 答题时，请按照答题纸上“注意事项”的要求，在答题纸相应的位置上规范作答，在本试题卷上的作答一律无效。 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纸上。 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。每段对话仅读一遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

Today, we’ve invited Dr. Caspar Melville, a lecturer from the University of London. Dr. Melville started out as a music journalist for a black music magazine called Blues and Soul. In 1992, he moved to San Francisco, and founded a jazz magazine named On the One with some friends. They did a really good job, though there was not a lot of money in it. In 1997, he moved back to London and started teaching, and made the decision to find another way to write about music. He grew up in London. He feels that the music in London clubs has formed him, but unfortunately, it has been seriously undervalued by the academic world. In black music studies, jazz has received great attention, but dance music has been largely ignored. His book, It’s a London Thing, is meant to change that situation. So let’s welcome Dr. Melville to share with us his ideas in the book. 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5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。 A Hyperlocal Fashion Shows Around the World A growing group within the fashion industry is building a slower, more circular fashion.

(今年秋季的秀场将大量展示具有环保意识的北欧设计师，比如强调尽量减少产品浪费的尼古拉斯·斯科夫加德（Nicklas Skovgaard）。)”可知Copenhagen Fashion Week的做法是展示北欧设计师如何尽量减少产品浪费。故选A。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“A growing group within the fashion industry is building a slower, more circular fashion. Here are the fall shows around the world, working to lower emissions by featuring local designers and championing traditional craft methods. (在时尚界，越来越多的人正在打造一种更慢、更循环的时尚。以下是世界各地的秋季时装秀，它们通过邀请当地设计师和倡导传统工艺方法来降低排放。)”可知以下秋季时装秀过邀请当地设计师和倡导传统工艺方法来降低排放，所以它们的共同点是他们注重减排，故选C。 B As Elizabeth Stone once said, “Having children is like having your heart go walking around outside of your body.” You send them off to school and hope that the world treats them kindly because when they hurt, you hurt. Surely it’s inevitable that your child will experience hurt feelings at some point. So, it’s wise to be ready for those moments. But what truly prepares you for the moment when the child you love so much unexpectedly heals the wounds of your own inner child? A mom, who goes by Soogia, posted a video on TikTok explaining a phone call she received from a parent in her daughter’s classroom. The mom called to inform Soogia that their kids had been sharing lunch with each other. Soogia wasn’t prepared for what came next. The classmate’s mother informed her that her son loved the food Soogia’s daughter brought to school and wanted to learn how to cook it too. That may seem like a small thing to some, but the small gesture healed a little bit of Soogia’s inner child. Growing up as a Korean kid in California, Soogia had different experiences from her children. “I guess I just never thought that my kids would be the generation of kids that could go to school and not just proudly eat, but share their food with other kids that were just so open and accepting to it,” Soogia said through tears. “They don’t sit there eating their food alone, feeling ashamed and wishing that their fried rice was a bagel instead or something like that. And I know, it sounds so small and it sounds so stupid, but knowing that their experience at school is so different from mine in such a positive way is just so hopeful.” Soogia’s tearful video pulled at the heartstrings of her viewers who shared their thoughts in the comments. “These Gen Alpha babies really are a different, kinder generation. I love them so much,” someone revealed. 24. What is the purpose of quoting at the beginning of the passage? A. To illustrate the hard work of being a parent. B. To stress parents’ consistent concerns about their children. C. To introduce the story about a child’s growth that follows. D. To contrast the different feelings between parents and children. 25. Why did the classmate’s mother call Soogia? A. To ask for the lunch recipe her son loved. B. To invite Soogia to prepare lunch for the children together. C. To inform Soogia of her daughter’s understanding behavior at school. D. To express her appreciation for the lunch Soogia’s daughter brought. 26. What makes Soogia feel comforted? A. Her child can finally fit in with American society. B. Her child has gained friendship and recognition at school. C. Her child needn’t feel ashamed of their cultural background. D. Her child can share their favorite food with their classmates. 27. What can we infer about Soogia’s opinion of the new generation of children? A. Open-minded and inclusive. B. Adventurous and open-minded. C. Tolerant and ambitious. D. Friendly and ambitious. 【答案】24. B 25. D 26. C 27. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章通过一个妈妈Soogia分享的故事，讲述了她的孩子在学校分享午餐的经历，以及这一小事如何治愈了她内心的创伤，并引发了对新一代孩子开放和包容特质的思考。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“As Elizabeth Stone once said, ‘Having children is like having your heart go walking around outside of your body.’ You send them off to school and hope that the world treats them kindly because when they hurt, you hurt. Surely it’s inevitable that your child will experience hurt feelings at some point. So, it’s wise to be ready for those moments.(正如伊丽莎白·斯通曾经说过，“有了孩子就像你的心在体外行走。”你把他们送去学校，希望世界善待他们，因为当他们受伤时，你也会受伤。当然，你的孩子迟早会经历一些伤心的时刻。所以，为这些时刻做好准备是明智的)”可推知，文章开头引用Elizabeth Stone的话是为了强调父母对孩子持续的关心，即孩子受伤时父母也会感到伤心。故选B项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“A mom, who goes by Soogia, posted a video on TikTok explaining a phone call she received from a parent in her daughter’s classroom. The mom called to inform Soogia that their kids had been sharing lunch with each other.(一位名叫Soogia的妈妈在TikTok上发布了一段视频，解释了她在女儿的教室里接到一位家长的电话。这位母亲打电话告诉苏吉亚，他们的孩子们一直在一起吃午饭)”及第三段中“The classmate’s mother informed her that her son loved the food Soogia’s daughter brought to school and wanted to learn how to cook it too.(同学的妈妈告诉她，她的儿子很喜欢Soogia的女儿带到学校的食物，也想学做这道菜)”可知，同学的母亲打电话给Soogia，对Soogia女儿带来的午餐表示感谢。故选D项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Growing up as a Korean kid in California, Soogia had different experiences from her children.(作为一个在加州长大的韩国孩子，Soogia的经历与她的孩子们不同)”及第五段中““I guess I just never thought that my kids would be the generation of kids that could go to school and not just proudly eat, but share their food with other kids that were just so open and accepting to it,” Soogia said through tears.(“我想我从来没有想过我的孩子们会成为这一代的孩子，他们上学时不仅骄傲地吃饭，而且还和其他孩子分享他们的食物，他们是如此开放和接受，”Soogia流着泪说)”和“They don’t sit there eating their food alone, feeling ashamed and wishing that their fried rice was a bagel instead or something like that.(他们不会独自坐在那里吃东西，感到羞愧，希望他们的炒饭是百吉饼或类似的东西)”可知，妈妈Soogia因为自己的韩国文化背景，曾经没有自信，而且时常为自己的饭菜感到羞愧，而女儿与之截然不同的行为，这让她倍感治愈。故选C项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中“I guess I just never thought that my kids would be the generation of kids that could go to school and not just proudly eat, but share their food with other kids that were just so open and accepting to it(我想我从来没有想过我的孩子们会成为这样的一代孩子，他们在上学的时候不仅自豪地吃东西，而且还和其他孩子分享他们的食物，他们是如此开放和欣然接受)”、最后一段中“‘These Gen Alpha babies really are a different, kinder generation. I love them so much,’ someone revealed.( “这些阿尔法世代的孩子们真的是一个不同的、更善良的一代。我非常爱他们，”有人说)”和前文提到的Soogia的女儿与同学分享午餐，以及同学想要学习做这道菜的事情，可推知Soogia认为新一代的孩子是开放和包容的。故选A项。 C The Happiness Myth Happiness is not natural. It is a mere human construct. A state of contentment (let alone happiness) is discouraged by our genetic design because it would lower our guard against possible threats to our survival. Chasing happiness is like chasing an elusive (难寻踪迹的) ghost, but the positive thinking industry claims to know its secrets. Self-help was popularized by Norman Vincent Peale, a colorful American pastor (牧师). He invented “positive thinking”, a concept now deeply embedded in our culture and steadily growing in influence. The global personal development industry was valued at $38. 28 billion in 2019 and is expected to grow at a rate of 5. 1%. Popular films and books are full of supposedly inspirational statements about how all you need to do is believe in yourself and then you’ll be able to achieve anything in life. This is simply, and obviously, not true. I don’t think there is a need to explain that many obstacles and misfortunes in life are inevitable, or unmanageable. Our ancestors knew this, and many philosophical and religious traditions are based on the acceptance that being alive is a very challenging task, which comes with significant amounts of suffering. It goes without saying that we should do all we can to maximize our sense of wellbeing and minimize our suffering (as the “utilitarian” philosophers explain), but the end result cannot be a state of sustained bliss (极乐). We are not designed that way. The self-help genre is not a homogeneous (同种类的) beast, however. It is, in fact, ironic how self-help books on happiness and those on how to make it big in life are put together in the same bookshop shelves, given that many of the former tell us that caring too much about the latter is the main obstacle to happiness. The inevitable clash between mandatory (强制的) optimism and the realities of our existence comes with a heavy psychological price. It could be argued that positive psychology blames those who are suffering for their suffering, as it is based on the false idea that unhappiness is entirely avoidable. It follows therefore that an unhappy person must be inadequate and incompetent. Positive psychology encourages people who are struggling with a particular goal to persevere in the face of unfavorable odds, which is much more punishing psychologically in the long run than accepting defeat. I believe that coming to terms with life as it is, and not as the happiness industry tells us it could be, will make us happier, and we will feel more at peace with ourselves and with the world. Unfortunately, the devil always has the best tunes. 28. What is author’s main purpose in writing the first three paragraphs? A. To analyze how personal development industry works. B. To explain how unrealistic it is to pursue happiness in life. C. To contrast modern people’s view of life with our ancestors’. D. To review how the concept of happiness has changed over years. 29. It seems ironic to the author that putting self-help books on happiness and those on how to “make it big” together because . A. they came from different publishers B. they offer completely opposite values C. their target readers belong to different age groups D. they are the best-selling and slowest-selling books on the market 30. According to the article, which of the following quotes would the author most strongly disagree with? A. Happiness is a choice, and so is suffering. B. Happiness is ideal. It is the work of the imagination. C. Happiness is a by-product. You cannot pursue it by itself. D. The search for happiness is one of the chief sources of unhappiness. 31. What does the underlined sentence “the devil always has the best tunes” mean? A. The core idea of the happiness industry is a beautiful lie. B. The happiness industry has negative effects on the society. C. Suffering contributes more to a meaningful life than happiness. D. The one-sided interpretation of life proved more attractive to the public. 【答案】28. B 29. B 30. A 31. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。本文介绍了幸福不是自然的，它只是人类的一种构造，它是一种被基因设计所抑制的满足状态，因为它会降低人类对生存可能受到的威胁的警惕。但是接受现实生活，而不是幸福行业告诉我们现实生活，会让我们更幸福。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Happiness is not natural. It is a mere human construct. A state of contentment (let alone happiness) is discouraged by our genetic design because it would lower our guard against possible threats to our survival.”（幸福不是自然的。它仅仅是一个人类的构造。一种满足的状态(更不用说幸福了)会被我们的基因设计所阻碍，因为它会降低我们对可能威胁我们生存的危险的警惕。）可知，幸福仅仅是人类构造的一种满足的状态；第二段中“Chasing happiness is like chasing an elusive (难寻踪迹的)ghost,”（追求幸福就像追逐一个难以捉摸的幽灵）说明幸福是很难寻找到的。第三段中“It goes without saying that we should do all we can to maximize our sense of wellbeing and minimize our suffering (as the “utilitarian” philosophers explain), but the end result cannot be a state of sustained bliss (极乐). We are not designed that way.”（毫无疑问，我们应该尽我们所能最大化我们的幸福感，最小化我们的痛苦(正如“功利主义”哲学家所解释的那样) ，但最终的结果不可能是一种持续的幸福状态。我们不是那样设计的。）可知，生活中不可能是一种持续的幸福状态。综上可知，三段表明人们追求幸福是多么的不现实。故选B。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“It is, in fact, ironic how self-help books on happiness and those on how to make it big in life are put together in the same bookshop shelves, given that many of the former tell us that caring too much about the latter is the main obstacle to happiness.”（事实上，具有讽刺意味的是，那些关于幸福的自助书籍和那些关于如何在生活中功名成就的书籍放在同一个书店的书架上，因为前者告诉我们太关心后者是幸福的主要障碍。）可知，关于幸福的自助书籍认为关于如何在生活中功名成就的书籍是幸福的主要障碍，可得出它们的价值观是完全相反的，故选B。 30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“It goes without saying that we should do all we can to maximize our sense of wellbeing and minimize our suffering (as the “utilitarian” philosophers explain), but the end result cannot be a state of sustained bliss (极乐). We are not designed that way.”（毫无疑问，我们应该尽我们所能最大化我们的幸福感，最小化我们的痛苦(正如“功利主义”哲学家所解释的那样) ，但最终的结果不可能是一种持续的幸福状态。我们不是那样设计的。）和最后一段“I believe that coming to terms with life as it is, and not as the happiness industry tells us it could be, will make us happier, and we will feel more at peace with ourselves and with the world.”（我相信，接受生活的本来面目，而不是像快乐产业告诉的那样，会让我们更快乐，我们会感到更加平和，与世界和平相处。）可知，作者认为，生活中存在幸福和痛苦两种状态，不可能是一种持续幸福的状态，即我们要接受生活本身的两种状态。选项A.“幸福是一种选择，痛苦也是。”与文章的意义相符，故选A。 【31题详解】 词句猜测题。根据最后一段中“It could be argued that positive psychology blames those who are suffering for their suffering, as it is based on the false idea that unhappiness is entirely avoidable. It follows therefore that an unhappy person must be inadequate and incompetent. Positive psychology encourages people who are struggling with a particular goal to persevere in the face of unfavorable odds, which is much more punishing psychologically in the long run than accepting defeat. I believe that coming to terms with life as it is, and not as the happiness industry tells us it could be, will make us happier, and we will feel more at peace with ourselves and with the world. ”（积极心理学将痛苦归咎于那些正在遭受痛苦的人，因为它建立在一个错误的想法上，即不幸是完全可以避免的。因此，一个不快乐的人必定是不称职和无能的。积极心理学鼓励那些为特定目标而奋斗的人在不利的情况下坚持下去，从长远来看，这比接受失败在心理上更具惩罚性。我相信，接受生活本来的样子，而不是像幸福产业告诉我们的那样，会让我们更快乐，我们会感到更加平和，与世界和平相处。）可知，幸福产业的观点是建立在一个错误的想法上，在作者看来，接受生活本来的样子，会让我们更快乐，然而幸福产业告诉我们的并不是那样。可推知，划线词所在句的含义是人们更相信幸福产业对幸福的解读，选项D.“事实证明，对生活的片面解读对公众更具吸引力。”符合题意，故选D。 D Scientists have calculated the total volume of plastic has incredibly amounted to 8.3 billion tonnes in the last 65 years, which is equivalent to 25,000 Empire State Buildings or one billion elephants. The core problem lies in the dominance of single-use plastic packaging, which is discarded instantly after a disposable use; A study by the University of California illustrates that a mere 9% of plastic waste is recyclable,12% is incinerated, and 79% ends up in landfills, where it endures permanently owing to the non-biodegradable characteristic of plastic substances. Ecologist Dr Roland Geyer, the lead author of the research, warns that humankind is rapidly advancing toward a “Planet Plastic”, noting that existing plastic waste could approximately cover the entirety of Argentina, a nation of considerable territory in South America. The research team further estimates that 8 million tonnes of plastic flow into seas annually, sparking the concerns that plastic enters human body via food chain when sea creatures absorb it. Plastic’s widespread application stems from its versatility and durability, which make it irreplaceable for applications ranging from daily yoghurt containers to intricate spacecraft, yet these very attributes also make it an environmental issue since the only feasible method to decompose plastic, results in harmful emissions. Oceanographer Dr Erik van Sebille from Utrecht University says we’re facing a tsunami of plastic waste, and that the global waste industry needs to get its act together. Professor Richard Thompson, a marine biologist from Plymouth University, says poor design is at fault. He says if products are currently designed with recyclability in mind, they could be recycled around 20 times over. Dr Geyer agrees: The holy grail of recycling is to keep material in use and in the loop for ever if you can. But it turns out in our study that actually 90% of that material that did get recycled, which I think we calculated was 600 million tonnes — only got recycled once. 32. What can we infer about the “Planet Plastic” mentioned by Dr Roland Geyer? A. Planet is entirely made of plastic. B. Plastic will cover the Earth extensively. C. A new planet is discovered with plastic-like substances. D. Argentina is the most polluted country by plastic. 33. Why does the author mention plastic’s “versatility and durability”? A. To advocate banning plastic B. To explain plastic’s wide use despite harm C. To prove plastic most useful D. To show advantages over harms 34. What does “get its act together” mean in paragraph? A. Cooperate to improve waste management B. Ban plastic production C. Collect more plastic waste D. Reduce research investment 35. What is Professor Thompson’s attitude towards solving plastic pollution? A. Critical B. Pessimistic C. Neutral D. Optimistic 【答案】32. B 33. B 34. A 35. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。这篇文章主要介绍了全球塑料总量庞大，一次性塑料污染严重，塑料因特性广泛应用却难降解，专家呼吁行业行动、优化设计以提升回收利用率。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Ecologist Dr Roland Geyer, the lead author of the research, warns that humankind is rapidly advancing toward a “Planet Plastic”, noting that existing plastic waste could approximately cover the entirety of Argentina, a nation of considerable territory in South America.(该研究的主要作者、生态学家罗兰·盖耶博士警告称，人类正迅速朝着一个“塑料星球”迈进。他指出，现有的塑料废弃物大约能覆盖整个阿根廷，而阿根廷是南美洲面积较大的国家)”可知，塑料将会大量覆盖地球。故选B。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Plastic’s widespread application stems from its versatility and durability, which make it irreplaceable for applications ranging from daily yoghurt containers to intricate spacecraft, yet these very attributes also make it an environmental issue since the only feasible method to decompose plastic, results in harmful emissions.(塑料之所以能得到广泛应用，是因为其具有多样性和耐用性，这使其在从日常的酸奶容器到复杂航天器等各种应用中都不可或缺。然而，正是这些特性也使塑料成为了一个环境问题，因为分解塑料的唯一可行方法会产生有害排放物)”可知，作者提及塑料的“多功能性和耐用性”是为了解释塑料尽管存在危害却仍被广泛使用的原因。故选B。 【34题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词前文“we’re facing a tsunami of plastic waste(我们正面临着一场塑料垃圾的洪流)”以及“the global waste industry needs to ...(全球废弃物处理行业需要……)”可知，我们正面临着一场塑料垃圾的洪流，可推断“get its act together”是指全球废品行业需完善垃圾处理工作。故划线词意思是“共同合作以改善废物管理”。故选A。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Professor Richard Thompson, a marine biologist from Plymouth University, says poor design is at fault. He says if products are currently designed with recyclability in mind, they could be recycled around 20 times over.(普利茅斯大学的海洋生物学家理查德·汤普森教授表示，设计不当是造成这一问题的原因。他指出，如果产品在设计时就考虑到可回收性，那么它们可以被回收利用约20次)”可知，Thompson教授认为改善产品设计可提升回收利用率，态度乐观，故选D。 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Gratitude is a positive emotion that recognizes the good that others have brought to our lives, and is important both for our interpersonal relationships and physical well-being. ____36____. A pioneering meta-analysis spanning 15 countries confirmed a significant inverse correlation-higher gratitude correlates with lower loneliness-highlighting gratitude’s potential to ease the global loneliness epidemic. Psychologist James Hittner notes loneliness results from unmet social relationship expectations, a psychological gap that often leads to emotional isolation and depression if left unaddressed. Hittner and Calvin Widholm analyzed 26 studies involving over 10,000 participants across diverse age groups and cultural backgrounds, finding a moderate inverse relationship between gratitude and loneliness. Those scoring above average in gratitude had a 62.4% chance of below-average loneliness, a statistic that held consistent even after controlling for factors like socioeconomic status. Neuroscientist Glenn Fox, who published the first direct study of gratitude in the brain in 2015, was not shocked by the result. ____37____. The research found gratitude boosts medial prefrontal cortex activity, a region tied to social bonding and the experience of joy, which further explains the emotional and neurological link between gratitude and reduced social disconnection. Bartlett, a professor at Gonzaga University in Spokane, Washington, studies how our emotions have evolved to serve an adaptive social purposes____38____. Bartlett and her colleagues evaluated the long-term effect of gratitude on loneliness and health in older adults in a 2019 study. Over the course of 20 days, participants were asked to write down their daily grateful moments, specifying not just what they were thankful for but also why the experience mattered to them. This simple practice was reported to contribute to a sustained decrease in loneliness and a marked increase in physical and mental well-being in the participants. Some research has even shown the positive impact of gratitude-letter writing, which takes the reflective practice a step further with tangible expression. Bartlett often suggests gratitude-letter writing to her students as an exercise in emotional awareness. She asked her students to write to a person who they have never thanked, or someone have not expressed gratitude to for a long time. ____39____. To build a sustainable gratitude practice against chronic loneliness, Bartlett offers actionable, science-backed tips that go beyond basic daily reflection. First, record three good things and their specific contributors every day, rather than vague positive events. Second, write a physical gratitude letter to someone underappreciated and deliver it in person if possible, a gesture that requires vulnerability but often leads to deeply moving conversations. ____40____. Unlike texts or digital messages, hand-delivered letters foster authentic, deep interpersonal connection, directly easing loneliness. A. She focused on older adults in research B.

A study by the University of Reading in the UK, has found bees and other pollinating insects have a ____57____ (globe) economic value of around EUR20 billion ($150 billion) and contribute around £2.69 billion ($850 million) to the UK economy every year. Therefore, bees are worth protecting. Researchers say conservation efforts should, to be effective, ____58____ (target) at a wide number of species-even those that currently contribute little to crop pollination-in order to maintain biodiversity and ensure future food ____59____ (secure). Unfortunately, in recent times, bee populations across nearly all terrestrial ecosystems, once thriving in every corner of the globe, ____60____ (decline) dramatically due to the overuse of toxic pesticides, invasive parasites, contagious diseases and large-scale habitat loss. It’s something we should be worried about because, ____61____ Gill Perkins, chief executive of the Bumblebee Conservation Trust, told BBC Future website: They provide a whole ecosystem service. The recent lock-downs ____62____ (trigger) by the coronavirus pandemic seem to have given bee populations a little boost because they faced less human disturbance, traffic and polluting fumes.

The results show that 31 students go mainly for class trips or assignments, 10 out of personal interest, 6 to accompany family or friends, and 1 simply for something different. In short, visits are still largely requirement-driven rather than curiosity-driven. To spark genuine interest in museums, I suggest that the school redesign coursework to offer more interesting assignments, such as treasure hunts and volunteer hours. The school can also partner with local museums to run hands-on workshops. Finally, it is advisable to launch a student museum club to plan weekend visits and share highlights. I sincerely hope the school will consider these suggestions to foster students’ internal motivation to explore museums. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文。要求考生根据对48位同学的“博物馆参观动机”问卷调查结果，描述参观动机状况，进行简单评论，并提出相关建议。 【详解】1.词汇积累 主要地：mainly → primarily 陪伴：accompany sb. → keep sb. company 仅仅：simply → merely 建议：suggest → propose 2.句式拓展 同义句转换 原句：The school can also partner with local museums to run hands-on workshops. 拓展句：It is local museums that the school can also partner with to run hands-on workshops 【点睛】【高分句型1】To spark genuine interest in museums, I suggest that the school redesign coursework to offer more interesting assignments, such as treasure hunts and volunteer hours.（运用了that引导的宾语从句以及不定式短语作目的状语） 【高分句型2】Finally, it is advisable to launch a student museum club to plan weekend visits and share highlights.（运用了“it作形式主语，不定式to launch作真正的主语”结构） 第二节（满分25分) 67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Bear was not a bear. She was a big dog on the Perkinses’ family farm, a woolly creature with floppy ears and paws like bedroom slippers. She protected the ducks and chickens from being eaten by foxes and raccoons (浣熊) . She guarded the children as well, watching over them as closely as she did the chickens and ducks. In winter the dog ran alongside the children as they sledded (滑雪橇) down snowy hills. In summer she swam with them in a nearby river. Bear belonged to a breed (品种) that had long been used by Atlantic fishermen to help with their work, and it had a keen instinct for water rescue. When the children were in the river, the dog would swim in circles around them, barking when she felt they went out too far. She was the perfect farm dog — companion, guardian, protector. The dog’s favorite among the three children was three-year-old little Mike. They often curled up together. Sometimes Bear would doze while Mike pretended to read to her. Often both were sound asleep, a tangle of dark fur, blond hair, small hands and huge paws. At bedtime, Mike saved his last hug for Bear, his “best friend”. On a cold winter day, when their parents went out to send a parcel, eight-year-old Martha, seven-year-old Sara and Mike, went to slide on the frozen pond of their farm. Shouting happily, they slid back and forth, their boots gliding easily across the ice. They laughed as they watched Bear’s attempts to stop suddenly, which would instead send her skidding beyond them. Then, tired, the three sat down on the ice, with Bear beside them. Suddenly the ice gave way under their combined weight. As Bear jumped for shore, the three children fell into the freezing cold water. Screaming, Martha and Sarah struggled to find footing on rocks underwater. Branches from a tree nearby provided handholds, and using every bit of their strength, the two girls pulled themselves to shore. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卷的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Looking back, they saw little Mike holding on to a broken chunk (大块) of ice, unable to crawl onto it. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Seeing that, Bear let out a series of woofs and jumped into the water, heading straight for Mike. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Looking back, they saw little Mike holding on to a broken chunk of ice, unable to crawl onto it. Panic slammed into Martha and Sara like a hammer; their breaths came in harsh clouds as the wind howled across the pond. “Mike, keep your arms up — don’t let go!” Martha shouted, her voice cracking with fear. The boy’s lips were turning a frightening shade of blue, and water sloshed over his boots each time the ice tilted. The sisters clung to a low branch, but the thought of re-entering the frigid hole was unbearable. With no adults in sight and daylight fading, the brittle silence of the farm suddenly felt enormous. Seeing that, Bear let out a series of woofs and jumped into the water, heading straight for Mike. Powerful strokes sliced the surface as spray flew from her coat. When she reached him, she circled once, nudging his armpit with her nose until Mike’s arms slid over her broad shoulders. Instinct took over. Gripping his jacket between her teeth, she turned toward shore and began towing her passenger. Martha and Sara lay flat on the ice, stretching a long branch. The moment Bear’s paws scraped frozen ground, the girls hauled the boy and the dog together, collapsing in a trembling heap of relief. 【解析】 【导语】本文以小狗Bear为线索展开，讲述了它保护着鸭子、鸡和孩子们。在一个寒冷冬日，三个孩子在农场池塘滑冰时冰面破裂，Martha和Sara上岸后发现Mike被困在冰上。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“回头看，他们看到小Mike紧紧抓住一块破碎的冰，无法爬上去。”可知，第一段可描写Martha和Sara的惊慌失措以及Mike的危险处境，同时强调当时的寒冷和无助。 ②由第二段首句内容“看到这一幕，Bear发出一连串的叫声，跳进水里，径直向Mike游去。”可知，第二段可描写Bear如何成功营救Mike，以及Martha和Sara在岸边的协助，最后大家都松了一口气。 2. 续写线索：冰面破裂——Mike被困——Bear营救——成功上岸 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①大喊：shout/yell ②紧紧抓住：cling to/grasp/hold fast to ③到达：reach/get to 情绪类 ①惊慌：panic/fright/terror ②恐惧：fear/terror/alarm 【点睛】【高分句型1】Panic slammed into Martha and Sara like a hammer; their breaths came in harsh clouds as the wind howled across the pond.
