The training was 16 than I had imagined. Every morning, we were expected to 17 for training before the sun was up. Seeing all the other runners, so fast and skilled, made me feel embarrassed and 18 . I started to doubt my own ability to 19 . One rainy morning, I was particularly 20 . My legs felt heavy, and I was falling far behind the rest. The thought of just stopping and going home felt like a better 21 . Just then, our coach, Mr. Evans, jogged up beside me. “Stop looking at them,” he said, his voice calm but firm. “You’re not running their race. You need to find your own 22 .” His words were simple, but they struck me. I had been so focused on 23 myself to others that I had forgotten why I started running in the first place. It wasn’t to be the best on the team; it was to 24 my own limits and get stronger. From that day on, I chose a different 25 . I stopped focusing on the runners ahead of me and started celebrating my own 26 , however small. Over time, running became less of a 27 and more of a joy. I didn’t become the fastest runner, but I became the best 28 of myself. This lesson went far beyond the running track. In group projects or when studying for exams, I learned to work in my own 29 , without being 30 by what others were achieving. Now, whenever I see a teammate struggling with 31 , I share Mr. Evans’s advice. But true success comes from following your own path. This experience taught me an important life lesson: your journey is 32 . Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions 33 your own inner voice. Life isn’t about 34 against everyone else; it’s about winning against who you were yesterday — finding joy in small steps forward, and pride in how far you’ve come. And that is a journey everyone can 35 . 16．A．clearer B．faster C．smoother D．tougher 17．A．turn up B．check in C．show off D．go ahead 18．A．out of date B．out of place C．out of mind D．out of work 19．A．hang out B．set off C．keep up D．calm down 20．A．nervous B．confident C．upset D．energetic 21．A．future B．choice C．chance D．deal 22．A．goal B．answer C．talent D．duty 23．A．committing B．revealing C．devoting D．comparing 24．A．feel B．remove C．test D．set 25．A．role B．attitude C．rule D．environment 26．A．story B．journey C．worth D．progress 27．A．habit B．community C．philosophy D．struggle 28．A．version B．form C．type D．luck 29．A．order B．style C．group D．time 30．A．frightened B．discouraged C．puzzled D．annoyed 31．A．doubt B．motivation C．change D．concentration 32．A．endless B．precious C．beautiful D．unique 33．A．hold back B．speak out C．pipe up D．tone down 34．A．guarding B．turning C．competing D．defending 35．A．plan B．conclude C．appreciate D．pause 第二部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2.5分，满分50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 Located in Britain, the University of Oxford is respected internationally as a teaching and research center. Evidence shows that teaching existed in Oxford as early as 1096, and it has been ranked as the top university in the UK by The Times for many times. The Tutorial (导师的) System In the University of Oxford, teaching is conducted primarily through the tutorial system. Tutorials are beneficial to students’ skills of critical analysis, but the greatest advantage of the tutorial system is the individual guidance that students receive. The contrast between tutorials and large lectures common in the American universities is obvious. In the typical American university, students are taught by the same specialists, in the same manner, and held to the same standards. Societies and Clubs There are rich after-school activities at Oxford. Students may join a variety of clubs and societies according to their own interests. The Oxford University Scientific Society aims to bring together undergraduates to discuss scientific matters. The Oxford Union Society has gained a worldwide reputation for its debate. The Newman Society has served as a model for religious society throughout the English-speaking world. In addition, there are a great many clubs, including Oxford University Cricket Club, Oxford University Chess Club, and so on. Dates of Term Oxford’s year is divided into three terms and three vacations. The dates for Full Term 2023-2024 are set out below: Year Term From To 2023-2024 Michaelmas 2023 Sunday 8 October Saturday 2 December Hilary 2024 Sunday 14 January Saturday 9 March Trinity 2024 Sunday 21 April Saturday 15 June 36．What is the biggest advantage of the tutorial system? A．It provides personalized teaching. B．It offers large lectures to students. C．It promotes students’ critical analysis. D．It uses the same manner and standards. 37．Which organization will you join if you want to be a great debater? A．The Newman Society. B．The Oxford Union Society. C．Oxford University Cricket Club. D．The Oxford University Scientific Society. 38．Based on the passage, which of the following can be inferred about students at the University of Oxford compared to those at typical American universities? A．They specialize in fewer subjects. B．They follow the same academic standards. C．They receive more group-based instruction. D．They may develop stronger critical thinking skills. 39．How long does the teaching period last within Full Term 2023-2024? A．8 weeks. B．16 weeks. C．24 weeks. D．32 weeks. 40．What is the main idea of this passage? A．To introduce the history of the University of Oxford. B．To show the academic activities in the University of Oxford. C．To compare the University of Oxford with American universities. D．To give an overview of the University of Oxford. B In the vast, untouched expanse of wilderness, Isla and her faithful golden retriever (猎犬), Finn danced in a harmony of souls. Together, they weaved through myriad terrains, from shadowed forests echoing with ancient secrets to rugged mountain paths that touched the heavens. Their bond was not of mere circumstance, but of shared dreams, Isla sought quiet away from the urban noise, while every rustle and murmur of the wild ignited Finn’s spirit. As dawn’s first light kissed the earth, Isla deliberately packed away memories of the night while Finn, with eager anticipation, wagged his tail, eager for the day’s melodies. Their journey was not charted by maps or compasses, but by the gentle touches of their hearts, caressed (抚摸) by nature’s ideal breezes. One dusky evening, painted with deep red colors and ethereal purples, an unexpected storm took them off guard. Raindrops, heavy with sorrow, transformed familiar trails into flowing streams, in a desperate bid for refuge. Isla was trapped by the fierce embrace of the currents. It was Finn’s instinctive courage that shone brightly in that moment of despair, as he moved forward suddenly, securing her backpack with a steadfast grip, drawing her back to safety’s shore. Nestled in a rocky embrace, they clung to each other against the storm’s fury. Isla whispered tales of bygone days and distant horizons into Finn’s eager ears. In return, he moved slowly and complained weakly, weaving tales without words, sharing a symphony of silent stories. When the storm’s rage decreased, the world they knew was covered in unfamiliarity. Trails they once danced upon had vanished, and landmarks whispered in unfamiliar tongues. For the first time, Isla felt the weight of disorientation. But Finn, with unwavering confidence, stepped forward, trusting his instincts to unveil the path ahead. As days melted into weeks, just when hope seemed a distant star, the embrace of a hidden village hugged them gently. Interested by the long exciting journey, villagers welcomed them, their journey becoming woven into the picture of local legend. But the wild’s temptation could not be ignored. Restored, the two partners ventured once more into the embrace of nature, carrying with them the blessings and hopes of newfound friends. Through the rich and colorful picture of their adventures, it became evident that their true strength was not in conquering the elements but in the unyielding bond they shared. The wild was but a stage for their eternal ballet of friendship and perseverance. 41．What connected Isla to Finn? A．The untouched expanse of wilderness. B．Shadowed forests echoing with ancient secrets. C．Circumstance and shared dreams. D．The urban noise. 42．What drove Isla into despair? A．A dusk of crimson and purple. B．A sudden storm. C．The familiar trails. D．A rocky embrace. 43．In the 5th paragraph, what does the underlined word “unveil” most probably mean? A．conceal B．explore C．lead D．uncover 44．What were the villagers interested in? A．Finn’s confidence and intuition. B．Isla’s respect for nature. C．Isla and Finn’s exciting journey D．The wild’s temptation. 45．What can we learn from the passage? A．Isla and Finn made their journeys based on a map or a compass. B．Finn failed to pull Isla back to the safety of shore. C．The villagers wove Isla and Finn’s journey into local legend. D．Isla and Finn’s real strength lied in conquering harsh environments. C “We regret to inform you…” These are the words that every writer dreads receiving, but words every writer knows well. The response from a publisher comes back and the writer eagerly opens and reads it, their hearts sinking when they reach that final sentence. You may have spent years giving up your weekends and free time to write your life’s work, yet still this is often not enough. Everyone knows that success rarely happens overnight, but perhaps not many know that a lot of highly successful writers have previously faced rejection. Take for example J.K. Rowling. When she received her first rejection letter, she decided that it meant she now had something in common with her favourite writers, and stuck it on her kitchen wall. Rowling had spent years surviving on little money, spending all her time writing. When she finally finished her first book, she received comments from publishers along the lines of “too difficult for children”, “too long”, “Children would not be interested in it”. Nevertheless, she persevered. “I wasn’t going to give up until every single publisher turned me down, but I often feared that would happen,” she later posted. After a total of twelve rejections, one publisher eventually agreed to print 500 copies of her first book, and as we know, Harry Potter became a global success, with over 400 million books sold and translated into more than seventy different languages. All too often writers of great works have had to face criticism along with rejection. J.D．Salinger started writing short stories in high school, but later struggled to get his works published. “We feel that we don’t know the central character well enough” was the criticism he received on his manuscript for The Catcher in the Rye. Despite rejections from several publishers, J.D．Salinger refused to give up. Even when serving in the US Army during the Second World War, he carried six chapters of The Catcher in the Rye with him and worked on the novel throughout his war service. When it was eventually published, the book became an immediate best-seller and went on to sell millions and millions of copies. Perhaps the overall prize for perseverance should go to three sisters from Victorian England who dreamed of seeing their words in print. This, however, was a time when women were not encouraged to become writers. As the then Poet Laureate, Robert Southey, wrote to one of them: “Literature cannot be the business of a woman’s life, and it ought not to be.” Nevertheless, the sisters didn’t stop trying. Their response was to write a book of poems under male names. Even when the book sold only two copies, the sisters still didn’t give up. They started writing novels, and today Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre, Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights and Anne Brontë’s Agnes Grey are regarded as classics of world literature. In fact, it is within the pages of Jane Eyre that we can find these words: “honour endurance, perseverance, industry, talent; because these are the means by which men achieve great ends...” So, it seems that talent alone isn’t enough to guarantee success. While a lot of hard work and a touch of luck play a part, perseverance is the key. Keep trying and eventually you will read the words “We are delighted to inform you...” 46．What do writers feel when they receive the sentence “We regret to inform you…?” A．Excited. B．Disappointed. C．Delighted. D．Surprised. 47．Why did J. K. Rowling stick her first rejection letter on the kitchen wall? A．To remind herself of her failure. B．To show it to her family and friends. C．To feel she shared something with her favorite writers. D．To encourage other writers not to give up. 48．What criticism did J. D．Salinger receive on The Catcher in the Rye? A．It was too long for readers. B．The central character was not well-developed. C．It was not suitable for young people. D．The writing style was too difficult to understand. 49．How did the Brontë sisters deal with the prejudice against women writers? A．They gave up writing and did other jobs. B．They wrote under male pen names. C．They asked Robert Southey for help. D．They only published their works abroad. 50．What is the main message of the passage? A．Successful writers all have poor childhoods. B．Rejection is common for all writers. C．Perseverance is the key to success for writers. D．Luck plays the most important role in a writer’s success. D “Do not get the idea that you’re anything special, because you’re not.” This is what English, teacher David McCullough told graduating seniors at Wellesley High School. Mothers and fathers present at the ceremony disagreed with McCullough’s words. But lost in the anger and protest was something we really should be taking to heart: our young people actually have no idea whether they’re particularly talented or not. In our eagerness to raise their self-esteem, we forgot to teach them how to realistically assess their own abilities. In fact, it’s not just privileged high-school students: we all tend to view ourselves as above-average. Therefore, it is of vital: significance for us to learn and teach our kids how to evaluate ourselves (themselves) objectively. Inflated (膨胀的) self-judgments have been found in study after study, and it’s often exactly when we’re least competent (有能力的) at a given task that we rate our performance most generously. In a 2020 study published in the journal Medical Education, for example medical students who scored the lowest on an essay test were the most sympathetic in their self-evaluations, while high-scoring students judged themselves much more strictly. Poor learners, the authors note, “lack insight” into their own incapability. Why should this be? Another study offers an explanation. People who are incapable suffer from a “dual burden”: they’re not good at what they do, and their incapability prevents them from recognizing how bad they are. In Dunning’s study, subjects scoring at the bottom on tests of logic, grammar and humor “extremely overestimated” their talents. Although their test scores put them in the 624th, they guessed they were in the 12th. What these individuals lacked was “meta cognitive skill” (元认知技巧): the ability to monitor how well (or badly) they’re performing. In the absence of that ability, the subjects arrived at an overly hopeful view of their own abilities. Fortunately, there are a couple of ways to cope with this problem. First, we can learn to make honest comparisons with others. Train yourself to recognize excellence, even when you yourself don’t possess it, and compare what you can do against what truly excellent individuals are able to accomplish. Second, seek out feedback that is frequent, accurate and specific Find a critic who will tell you not only how poorly you’re doing, but just what it is that you’re doing wrong. If we adopt these strategies — and most importantly, teach them to our children — they won’t need parents, or a graduation ceremony speaker, to tell them whether they’re special or not. If they are, they’ll already know that they are. Or they’ll have a plan to get that way. 51．The author thinks the problem that shouldn’t be ignored is that_________. A．we don’t know whether our young people are talented or not B．young people can’t reasonably define themselves C．no requirement is set up for young people to get better D．we always tend to consider ourselves to be privileged 52．Which is NOT mentioned about poor learners according to the passage A．They tack the capacity to monitor how they are performing. B．They usually give themselves high stores in self-evaluations. C．They tend to be unable to know exactly how badly they perform. D．They are intelligently incapable in tests and exams. 53．We can infer from the passage that those nigh-scoring students, __________. A．are not confident about their logic and grammar B．tend to have overly hopeful view of their own abilities C．don’t know how well they perform due to their strict self-judgment D．are more strict in their self-evaluations because of their proper meta cognitive skills 54．The strategies of becoming special suggest that __________. A．the best way to recognize excellence is to study past success and failure B．through comparison with others, one will know where and when he fails C．we need internal honesty with ourselves and external honesty from others D．neither parents not a graduation ceremony speaker can tell whether one is special 55．Which can be the best title of this passage? A．Special or Not? Teach Kids To Figure It Out B．Let’s Admit That, We Are Not That Special C．Tips On Making Ourselves More Special D．Tell The Truth: Kids Overestimate their Talents 第二部分:写作(共两节，满分35分) 第一节：阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容完成下列各题。 Ahn was carefully cleaning windows of her family’s new Vietnamese restaurant. She turned her vision to look outside the restaurant as a girl about her age walked up the street. Ahn’s family had recently moved to this neighborhood, so she had few friends. The girl paused to study the sign announcing their future opening and then looked directly at Ahn. Ahn smiled shyly and lifted a hand, accidentally waving with the cleaning cloth. The girl laughed at her amusement and waved back in acknowledgment. Ahn hesitated for a while but opened the door. “Hello,” she said with a big smile, adding the first thing that entered her head, “Do you like Vietnamese food?” “I don’t know, but I like to try new things,” the girl said, and then she introduced herself as Gabriela. Ahn could not think of additional conversation until she had a sudden idea. “Please wait here,” she requested. Then she ran into the kitchen and took some Vietnamese candy to Gabriela. She said, “If you enjoy it, I hope you’ll return to the restaurant sometime.” “Excellent, I’ll see you around soon. You can take my word for it.” Gabriela said and headed down the street. The following day, after decorating the restaurant with some beautiful flowers, Ahn saw Gabriela come to her with a plate. Ahn warmly opened the door. Gabriela presented the plate and said, “Your candy is delicious. I’ve never tasted such unique candy. I like it. And my parents and grandmother are also fond of it. I’m really grateful. I bring you biscuits made from my grandmother’s recipe.” Gabriela entered and praised the room with its beautiful decoration.She even assisted Ahn in designing a pamphlet (小册子) for the restaurant. The two girls from very different backgrounds became best friends.

You’re on the right track你的思路是对的。根据前文“The professor’s lecture on AI ethics was way over my head.”可知，说话人听不懂教授的讲座，后文“Maybe we can discuss the slides after class.”表示可以课后讨论幻灯片，由此可知，此处表示“我理解你的感受”。故选B。 第二节：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分） 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从16-35各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。I never truly understood the meaning of “peer pressure” until I joined the cross-country team in my freshman year. The training was 16 than I had imagined. Every morning, we were expected to 17 for training before the sun was up. Seeing all the other runners, so fast and skilled, made me feel embarrassed and 18 . I started to doubt my own ability to 19 . One rainy morning, I was particularly 20 . My legs felt heavy, and I was falling far behind the rest. The thought of just stopping and going home felt like a better 21 . Just then, our coach, Mr. Evans, jogged up beside me. “Stop looking at them,” he said, his voice calm but firm. “You’re not running their race. You need to find your own 22 .” His words were simple, but they struck me. I had been so focused on 23 myself to others that I had forgotten why I started running in the first place. It wasn’t to be the best on the team; it was to 24 my own limits and get stronger. From that day on, I chose a different 25 . I stopped focusing on the runners ahead of me and started celebrating my own 26 , however small. Over time, running became less of a 27 and more of a joy. I didn’t become the fastest runner, but I became the best 28 of myself. This lesson went far beyond the running track. In group projects or when studying for exams, I learned to work in my own 29 , without being 30 by what others were achieving. Now, whenever I see a teammate struggling with 31 , I share Mr. Evans’s advice. But true success comes from following your own path. This experience taught me an important life lesson: your journey is 32 . Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions 33 your own inner voice. Life isn’t about 34 against everyone else; it’s about winning against who you were yesterday — finding joy in small steps forward, and pride in how far you’ve come. And that is a journey everyone can 35 . 16．A．clearer B．faster C．smoother D．tougher 17．A．turn up B．check in C．show off D．go ahead 18．A．out of date B．out of place C．out of mind D．out of work 19．A．hang out B．set off C．keep up D．calm down 20．A．nervous B．confident C．upset D．energetic 21．A．future B．choice C．chance D．deal 22．A．goal B．answer C．talent D．duty 23．A．committing B．revealing C．devoting D．comparing 24．A．feel B．remove C．test D．set 25．A．role B．attitude C．rule D．environment 26．A．story B．journey C．worth D．progress 27．A．habit B．community C．philosophy D．struggle 28．A．version B．form C．type D．luck 29．A．order B．style C．group D．time 30．A．frightened B．discouraged C．puzzled D．annoyed 31．A．doubt B．motivation C．change D．concentration 32．A．endless B．precious C．beautiful D．unique 33．A．hold back B．speak out C．pipe up D．tone down 34．A．guarding B．turning C．competing D．defending 35．A．plan B．conclude C．appreciate D．pause 【答案】 16．D 17．A 18．B 19．C 20．C 21．B 22．A 23．D 24．C 25．B 26．D 27．D 28．A 29．B 30．B 31．A 32．D 33．A 34．C 35．C 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲述了作者加入越野队后，在教练的鼓励下学会关注自我、突破自我并领悟人生道理的故事。 16．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：训练比我想象的要艰难得多。A. clearer更清晰的；B. faster更快的；C. smoother更平滑的；D. tougher更艰难的。根据后文“Every morning, we were expected to ______ for training before the sun was up.

Evidence shows that teaching existed in Oxford as early as 1096, and it has been ranked as the top university in the UK by The Times for many times. The Tutorial (导师的) System In the University of Oxford, teaching is conducted primarily through the tutorial system. Tutorials are beneficial to students’ skills of critical analysis, but the greatest advantage of the tutorial system is the individual guidance that students receive.

In the typical American university, students are taught by the same specialists, in the same manner, and held to the same standards. Societies and Clubs There are rich after-school activities at Oxford. Students may join a variety of clubs and societies according to their own interests. The Oxford University Scientific Society aims to bring together undergraduates to discuss scientific matters. The Oxford Union Society has gained a worldwide reputation for its debate. The Newman Society has served as a model for religious society throughout the English-speaking world.

Together, they weaved through myriad terrains, from shadowed forests echoing with ancient secrets to rugged mountain paths that touched the heavens. Their bond was not of mere circumstance, but of shared dreams, Isla sought quiet away from the urban noise, while every rustle and murmur of the wild ignited Finn’s spirit. As dawn’s first light kissed the earth, Isla deliberately packed away memories of the night while Finn, with eager anticipation, wagged his tail, eager for the day’s melodies. Their journey was not charted by maps or compasses, but by the gentle touches of their hearts, caressed (抚摸) by nature’s ideal breezes. One dusky evening, painted with deep red colors and ethereal purples, an unexpected storm took them off guard. Raindrops, heavy with sorrow, transformed familiar trails into flowing streams, in a desperate bid for refuge. Isla was trapped by the fierce embrace of the currents. It was Finn’s instinctive courage that shone brightly in that moment of despair, as he moved forward suddenly, securing her backpack with a steadfast grip, drawing her back to safety’s shore. Nestled in a rocky embrace, they clung to each other against the storm’s fury. Isla whispered tales of bygone days and distant horizons into Finn’s eager ears. In return, he moved slowly and complained weakly, weaving tales without words, sharing a symphony of silent stories. When the storm’s rage decreased, the world they knew was covered in unfamiliarity. Trails they once danced upon had vanished, and landmarks whispered in unfamiliar tongues. For the first time, Isla felt the weight of disorientation. But Finn, with unwavering confidence, stepped forward, trusting his instincts to unveil the path ahead. As days melted into weeks, just when hope seemed a distant star, the embrace of a hidden village hugged them gently. Interested by the long exciting journey, villagers welcomed them, their journey becoming woven into the picture of local legend. But the wild’s temptation could not be ignored. Restored, the two partners ventured once more into the embrace of nature, carrying with them the blessings and hopes of newfound friends. Through the rich and colorful picture of their adventures, it became evident that their true strength was not in conquering the elements but in the unyielding bond they shared. The wild was but a stage for their eternal ballet of friendship and perseverance. 41．What connected Isla to Finn? A．The untouched expanse of wilderness. B．Shadowed forests echoing with ancient secrets. C．Circumstance and shared dreams. D．The urban noise. 42．What drove Isla into despair? A．A dusk of crimson and purple. B．A sudden storm. C．The familiar trails. D．A rocky embrace. 43．In the 5th paragraph, what does the underlined word “unveil” most probably mean? A．conceal B．explore C．lead D．uncover 44．What were the villagers interested in? A．Finn’s confidence and intuition. B．Isla’s respect for nature. C．Isla and Finn’s exciting journey D．The wild’s temptation. 45．What can we learn from the passage? A．Isla and Finn made their journeys based on a map or a compass. B．Finn failed to pull Isla back to the safety of shore. C．The villagers wove Isla and Finn’s journey into local legend. D．Isla and Finn’s real strength lied in conquering harsh environments. 【答案】41．C 42．B 43．D 44．C 45．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述伊斯拉和她的金毛猎犬芬恩在荒野冒险中相互扶持、共度难关的故事。 41．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Their bond was not of mere circumstance, but of shared dreams, Isla sought quiet away from the urban noise, while every rustle and murmur of the wild ignited Finn’s spirit.(它们的联系不仅仅是环境所致，更是源于共同的梦想。伊斯拉寻求远离城市喧嚣的宁静，而荒野的每一声沙沙声和低语都点燃了芬恩的灵魂。)”可知，将伊斯拉和芬恩联系在一起的是环境和共同的梦想。故选C项。 42．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“One dusky evening, painted with deep red colors and ethereal purples, an unexpected storm took them off guard.(在一个被深红与缥缈紫晕染的黄昏，一场突如其来的风暴让他们猝不及防。)”以及“Isla was trapped by the fierce embrace of the currents. It was Finn’s instinctive courage that shone brightly in that moment of despair, as he moved forward suddenly, securing her backpack with a steadfast grip, drawing her back to safety’s shore. (伊斯拉被凶猛的水流紧紧裹挟。在那绝望的时刻，芬恩本能的勇气闪耀光芒——他猛然上前，死死抓住她的背包，将她拽回安全的岸边。)”可知，一场突如其来的风暴让伊斯拉陷入绝望。故选B项。 43．词句猜测题。根据第五段中的“But Finn, with unwavering confidence, stepped forward, trusting his instincts to unveil the path ahead.(但芬恩带着坚定的信心向前迈步，相信自己的直觉能够unveil前方的道路。)”可知，芬恩带着坚定的信心向前迈步，由此可知，芬恩相信自己能直觉能“揭示，展示”前方的路，所以划线单词“unveil”与“uncover（揭露）”。意义相近故选D项。 44．细节理解题。根据第六段中的“Interested by the long exciting journey, villagers welcomed them, their journey becoming woven into the picture of local legend.(村民们对这段漫长而激动人心的旅程很感兴趣，热情地欢迎了他们，他们的旅程也被编织进了当地的传奇故事中。)”可知，村民们对伊斯拉和芬恩激动人心的旅程感兴趣。故选C项。 45．细节理解题。根据第六段中的“Interested by the long exciting journey, villagers welcomed them, their journey becoming woven into the picture of local legend.(村民们对这段漫长而激动人心的旅程很感兴趣，热情地欢迎了他们，他们的旅程也被编织进了当地的传奇故事中。)”可知，村民们将伊斯拉和芬恩的旅程编织进了当地的传奇故事中。故选C项。 C “We regret to inform you…” These are the words that every writer dreads receiving, but words every writer knows well. The response from a publisher comes back and the writer eagerly opens and reads it, their hearts sinking when they reach that final sentence. You may have spent years giving up your weekends and free time to write your life’s work, yet still this is often not enough. Everyone knows that success rarely happens overnight, but perhaps not many know that a lot of highly successful writers have previously faced rejection. Take for example J.K. Rowling. When she received her first rejection letter, she decided that it meant she now had something in common with her favourite writers, and stuck it on her kitchen wall. Rowling had spent years surviving on little money, spending all her time writing. When she finally finished her first book, she received comments from publishers along the lines of “too difficult for children”, “too long”, “Children would not be interested in it”. Nevertheless, she persevered. “I wasn’t going to give up until every single publisher turned me down, but I often feared that would happen,” she later posted. After a total of twelve rejections, one publisher eventually agreed to print 500 copies of her first book, and as we know, Harry Potter became a global success, with over 400 million books sold and translated into more than seventy different languages. All too often writers of great works have had to face criticism along with rejection. J.D．Salinger started writing short stories in high school, but later struggled to get his works published. “We feel that we don’t know the central character well enough” was the criticism he received on his manuscript for The Catcher in the Rye. Despite rejections from several publishers, J.D．Salinger refused to give up. Even when serving in the US Army during the Second World War, he carried six chapters of The Catcher in the Rye with him and worked on the novel throughout his war service. When it was eventually published, the book became an immediate best-seller and went on to sell millions and millions of copies. Perhaps the overall prize for perseverance should go to three sisters from Victorian England who dreamed of seeing their words in print. This, however, was a time when women were not encouraged to become writers. As the then Poet Laureate, Robert Southey, wrote to one of them: “Literature cannot be the business of a woman’s life, and it ought not to be.” Nevertheless, the sisters didn’t stop trying. Their response was to write a book of poems under male names. Even when the book sold only two copies, the sisters still didn’t give up. They started writing novels, and today Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre, Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights and Anne Brontë’s Agnes Grey are regarded as classics of world literature. In fact, it is within the pages of Jane Eyre that we can find these words: “honour endurance, perseverance, industry, talent; because these are the means by which men achieve great ends...” So, it seems that talent alone isn’t enough to guarantee success. While a lot of hard work and a touch of luck play a part, perseverance is the key. Keep trying and eventually you will read the words “We are delighted to inform you...” 46．What do writers feel when they receive the sentence “We regret to inform you…?” A．Excited. B．Disappointed. C．Delighted. D．Surprised. 47．Why did J. K. Rowling stick her first rejection letter on the kitchen wall? A．To remind herself of her failure. B．To show it to her family and friends. C．To feel she shared something with her favorite writers. D．To encourage other writers not to give up. 48．What criticism did J. D．Salinger receive on The Catcher in the Rye? A．It was too long for readers. B．The central character was not well-developed. C．It was not suitable for young people. D．The writing style was too difficult to understand. 49．How did the Brontë sisters deal with the prejudice against women writers? A．They gave up writing and did other jobs. B．They wrote under male pen names. C．They asked Robert Southey for help. D．They only published their works abroad. 50．What is the main message of the passage? A．Successful writers all have poor childhoods. B．Rejection is common for all writers. C．Perseverance is the key to success for writers. D．Luck plays the most important role in a writer’s success. 【答案】46．B 47．C 48．B 49．B 50．C 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了多位成功作家在成名前都曾遭遇过拒绝和批评，但他们凭借坚持不懈的努力最终取得了成功，文章强调了坚持对于作家成功的重要性。 46．推理判断题。根据第一段“The response from a publisher comes back and the writer eagerly opens and reads it, their hearts sinking when they reach that final sentence.(出版商的回复回来了，作家急切地打开并阅读，当读到最后一句时，他们的心沉了下去)”可知，当作家收到“我们遗憾地通知您……”这句话时，他们会感到失望。故选B。 47．细节理解题。根据第二段“When she received her first rejection letter, she decided that it meant she now had something in common with her favourite writers, and stuck it on her kitchen wall.(当她收到第一封拒绝信时，她决定这意味着她现在和她最喜欢的作家有了共同之处，于是把信贴在了厨房的墙上)”可知，J.K.罗琳把她的第一封拒绝信贴在厨房的墙上是为了让她觉得自己和她最喜欢的作家有共同之处。故选C。 48．细节理解题。根据第三段““We feel that we don’t know the central character well enough” was the criticism he received on his manuscript for The Catcher in the Rye.(“我们觉得我们对中心人物了解得不够”是他在《麦田里的守望者》手稿上收到的批评)”可知，J.D.塞林格在《麦田里的守望者》中受到的批评是中心人物没有得到很好的发展。故选B。 49．细节理解题。根据第四段“Their response was to write a book of poems under male names.(她们的反应是用男性名字写了一本诗集)”可知，勃朗特姐妹用男性笔名写作来应对对女作家的偏见。故选B。 50．主旨大意题。根据最后一段“So, it seems that talent alone isn’t enough to guarantee success. While a lot of hard work and a touch of luck play a part, perseverance is the key.(所以，似乎光有天赋并不足以保证成功。虽然大量的努力和一点运气也起到了作用，但坚持是关键)”可知，这篇文章的主要信息是坚持是作家成功的关键。故选C。 D “Do not get the idea that you’re anything special, because you’re not.” This is what English, teacher David McCullough told graduating seniors at Wellesley High School. Mothers and fathers present at the ceremony disagreed with McCullough’s words. But lost in the anger and protest was something we really should be taking to heart: our young people actually have no idea whether they’re particularly talented or not. In our eagerness to raise their self-esteem, we forgot to teach them how to realistically assess their own abilities. In fact, it’s not just privileged high-school students: we all tend to view ourselves as above-average. Therefore, it is of vital: significance for us to learn and teach our kids how to evaluate ourselves (themselves) objectively. Inflated (膨胀的) self-judgments have been found in study after study, and it’s often exactly when we’re least competent (有能力的) at a given task that we rate our performance most generously. In a 2020 study published in the journal Medical Education, for example medical students who scored the lowest on an essay test were the most sympathetic in their self-evaluations, while high-scoring students judged themselves much more strictly. Poor learners, the authors note, “lack insight” into their own incapability. Why should this be? Another study offers an explanation. People who are incapable suffer from a “dual burden”: they’re not good at what they do, and their incapability prevents them from recognizing how bad they are. In Dunning’s study, subjects scoring at the bottom on tests of logic, grammar and humor “extremely overestimated” their talents. Although their test scores put them in the 624th, they guessed they were in the 12th. What these individuals lacked was “meta cognitive skill” (元认知技巧): the ability to monitor how well (or badly) they’re performing. In the absence of that ability, the subjects arrived at an overly hopeful view of their own abilities. Fortunately, there are a couple of ways to cope with this problem. First, we can learn to make honest comparisons with others. Train yourself to recognize excellence, even when you yourself don’t possess it, and compare what you can do against what truly excellent individuals are able to accomplish. Second, seek out feedback that is frequent, accurate and specific Find a critic who will tell you not only how poorly you’re doing, but just what it is that you’re doing wrong. If we adopt these strategies — and most importantly, teach them to our children — they won’t need parents, or a graduation ceremony speaker, to tell them whether they’re special or not. If they are, they’ll already know that they are. Or they’ll have a plan to get that way. 51．The author thinks the problem that shouldn’t be ignored is that_________. A．we don’t know whether our young people are talented or not B．young people can’t reasonably define themselves C．no requirement is set up for young people to get better D．we always tend to consider ourselves to be privileged 52．Which is NOT mentioned about poor learners according to the passage A．They tack the capacity to monitor how they are performing. B．They usually give themselves high stores in self-evaluations. C．They tend to be unable to know exactly how badly they perform. D．They are intelligently incapable in tests and exams. 53．We can infer from the passage that those nigh-scoring students, __________. A．are not confident about their logic and grammar B．tend to have overly hopeful view of their own abilities C．don’t know how well they perform due to their strict self-judgment D．are more strict in their self-evaluations because of their proper meta cognitive skills 54．The strategies of becoming special suggest that __________. A．the best way to recognize excellence is to study past success and failure B．through comparison with others, one will know where and when he fails C．we need internal honesty with ourselves and external honesty from others D．neither parents not a graduation ceremony speaker can tell whether one is special 55．Which can be the best title of this passage? A．Special or Not? Teach Kids To Figure It Out B．Let’s Admit That, We Are Not That Special C．Tips On Making Ourselves More Special D．Tell The Truth: Kids Overestimate their Talents 【答案】51．B 52．D 53．D 54．C 55．A 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了人们常高估自己，应教孩子客观评估自己的能力。 51．细节理解题。根据第一段中“But lost in the anger and protest was something we really should be taking to heart: our young people actually have no idea whether they’re particularly talented or not. In our eagerness to raise their self-esteem, we forgot to teach them how to realistically assess their own abilities. (但在愤怒和抗议中被忽略的是我们真正应该铭记于心的事情：我们的年轻人实际上不知道自己是否特别有才华。在我们急于提高他们的自尊心时，我们忘记了教他们如何现实地评估自己的能力)”可知，作者认为不应忽视的问题是年轻人不能合理地定义自己。故选B。 52．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Inflated (膨胀的) self-judgments have been found in study after study, and it’s often exactly when we’re least competent (有能力的) at a given task that we rate our performance most generously. (在一项又一项的研究中都发现了膨胀的自我判断，而且往往正是在我们对某项任务最不擅长的时候，我们对自己的表现评价最为慷慨)”以及“Poor learners, the authors note, “lack insight” into their own incapability. (作者指出，学习差的人“缺乏”对自己无能的“洞察力”)”和“People who are incapable suffer from a “dual burden”: they’re not good at what they do, and their incapability prevents them from recognizing how bad they are.(无能的人承受着“双重负担”：他们不擅长自己所做的事情，而且他们的无能使他们无法认识到自己做得有多糟糕)”及第三段中“What these individuals lacked was “meta cognitive skill” (元认知技巧): the ability to monitor how well (or badly) they’re performing. In the absence of that ability, the subjects arrived at an overly hopeful view of their own abilities.(这些人所缺乏的是“元认知技巧”：即监控自己表现好坏的能力。由于缺乏这种能力，这些受试者对自己的能力产生了过于乐观的看法)”可知，差生缺乏监控自己表现的能力，他们通常无法确切地知道自己表现得有多差，并且他们在自我评价中往往给自己高分。而D选项“他们在考试和测验中智力上无能”并未在文中提及。故选D。 53．推理判断题。根据第二段中“In a 2020 study published in the journal Medical Education, for example medical students who scored the lowest on an essay test were the most sympathetic in their self-evaluations, while high-scoring students judged themselves much more strictly.(例如，在 2020 年发表于《医学教育》杂志上的一项研究中，那些在论文测试中得分最低的医科学生在自我评价时最为宽容，而得分高的学生对自己的评判则严格得多)”以及第三段中“What these individuals lacked was ‘meta cognitive skill’ (元认知技巧): the ability to monitor how well (or badly) they’re performing. In the absence of that ability, the subjects arrived at an overly hopeful view of their own abilities.(这些人所缺乏的是“元认知技巧”：即监控自己表现好坏的能力。由于缺乏这种能力，这些受试者对自己的能力产生了过于乐观的看法)”可推知，那些高分学生由于有适当的元认知技巧，所以在自我评估中更严格。故选D。 54．推理判断题。根据第四段中“First, we can learn to make honest comparisons with others. Train yourself to recognize excellence, even when you yourself don’t possess it, and compare what you can do against what truly excellent individuals are able to accomplish. Second, seek out feedback that is frequent, accurate and specific Find a critic who will tell you not only how poorly you' re doing, but just what it is that you' re doing wrong.(首先，我们可以学会诚实地与他人比较。训练自己去认识卓越，即使你自己并不具备卓越，并且将你所能做的与真正卓越的人所能完成的进行比较。第二，寻求频繁、准确和具体的反馈。找一个批评者，他不仅会告诉你你做得有多差，还会告诉你你做错了什么)”可知，通过诚实地评价自己及他人诚实地反馈，可以变得更加特别，更加卓越，由此推知，变得特别的策略建议我们需要对自己内在的诚实及他人外在的诚实。故选C。 55．主旨大意题。通读全文，根据第一段中“Do not get the idea that you’re anything special, because you’re not.”(不要认为你有什么特别的，因为你不特别)”以及“Therefore, it is of vital significance for us to learn and teach our kids how to evaluate ourselves (themselves) objectively. (因此，对我们来说，学习和教导我们的孩子如何客观地评估我们自己或他们自己至关重要)”可知，本文主要讲述了我们的年轻人不知道如何评估自己的能力，他们往往高估自己，而解决这个问题的方法是学会诚实地与他人比较以及寻求他人的反馈，教会孩子如何判断自己是否特别，所以A项“特别与否？教孩子们弄清楚”作为标题最合适。故选A。 第二部分:写作(共两节，满分35分) 第一节：阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容完成下列各题。 Ahn was carefully cleaning windows of her family’s new Vietnamese restaurant. She turned her vision to look outside the restaurant as a girl about her age walked up the street. Ahn’s family had recently moved to this neighborhood, so she had few friends. The girl paused to study the sign announcing their future opening and then looked directly at Ahn. Ahn smiled shyly and lifted a hand, accidentally waving with the cleaning cloth. The girl laughed at her amusement and waved back in acknowledgment. Ahn hesitated for a while but opened the door. “Hello,” she said with a big smile, adding the first thing that entered her head, “Do you like Vietnamese food?” “I don’t know, but I like to try new things,” the girl said, and then she introduced herself as Gabriela. Ahn could not think of additional conversation until she had a sudden idea. “Please wait here,” she requested. Then she ran into the kitchen and took some Vietnamese candy to Gabriela. She said, “If you enjoy it, I hope you’ll return to the restaurant sometime.” “Excellent, I’ll see you around soon. You can take my word for it.” Gabriela said and headed down the street. The following day, after decorating the restaurant with some beautiful flowers, Ahn saw Gabriela come to her with a plate. Ahn warmly opened the door. Gabriela presented the plate and said, “Your candy is delicious. I’ve never tasted such unique candy. I like it. And my parents and grandmother are also fond of it. I’m really grateful. I bring you biscuits made from my grandmother’s recipe.” Gabriela entered and praised the room with its beautiful decoration.She even assisted Ahn in designing a pamphlet (小册子) for the restaurant. The two girls from very different backgrounds became best friends. Ahn was positive that the restaurant would make a strong impression on the community, that customers would be plentiful, and that she was going to enjoy life, especially the new friendship here. 56．How would Ahn’s family make a living in the new neighborhood? (no more than 5 words) 57．How would you describe Ahn in terms of personalities according to Paragraph 2? (no more than 10 words) 58．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 probably mean? (no more than 5 words) 59．Why did Gabriela carry a plate of biscuits? (no more than 10 words) 60．How do you expand your social circle while you are in a strange environment? (no more than 20 words) 【答案】56．By running a restaurant. 57．Shy but friendly and proactive. 58．I promise. 59．To thank Ahn for the candy. 60．By being friendly and showing interest in others. 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了越南女孩Ahn随家人搬到新社区后，通过自家即将开业的餐厅结识了女孩Gabriela，两人从陌生到成为好友的温暖故事。 56．考查细节理解。根据第一段“Ahn was carefully cleaning windows of her family’s new Vietnamese restaurant. (Ahn正仔细擦拭家里新开的越南餐厅的窗户)”可知Ahn一家靠经营餐厅谋生。故答案为By running a restaurant. 57．考查推理判断。根据第二段“Ahn smiled shyly (Ahn 害羞地笑了)”以及“Ahn hesitated for a while but opened the door. (Ahn犹豫了一会儿，但还是打开了门)”等内容可知，Ahn害羞但友好主动。故答案为Shy but friendly and proactive. 58．考查词句猜测。第三段划线句“You can take my word for it (你可以相信我的话)”是固定表达，意为“我保证、我说话算话”，结合Gabriela承诺会再来餐厅也可验证。故答案为I promise. 59．考查细节理解。根据第四段“Your candy is delicious. I’ve never tasted such unique candy. I like it. And my parents and grandmother are also fond of it. I’m really grateful. I bring you biscuits made from my grandmother’s recipe. (你的糖果真好吃。我从来没吃过这么独特的糖果。我喜欢这糖果。我的父母和祖母也很喜欢它。我真的很感激。我给你带来了我祖母做的饼干)”可知，Gabriela带饼干是为了感谢Ahn的糖果。故答案为To thank Ahn for the candy. 60．考查推理判断。根据该故事中Ahn主动分享糖果、Gabriela回赠饼干的互动可知，拓展社交圈的方式可以是待人友善、对他人表现出兴趣等。故答案为By being friendly and showing interest in others. 第二节：书面表达（满分25分） 61．假设你是晨光中学校报英语专栏的小记者。4月20日校学生会组织了“走进木工坊”劳动实践活动，请你为英语专栏写一篇报道。要点如下： 1. 活动目的、意义； 2. 活动内容（参观木工坊，进行亲身体验等）； 3. 活动感受。 注意： 1. 词数不少于100； 2. 可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 参考词汇：木工坊 carpentry workshop ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: The student union organized a labour practice activity on April 20, aiming to broaden our horizons and bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical experience. This activity not only enhanced our practical skills but also fostered a deeper understanding of society. The unforgettable experience was a labor-themed activity where we visited a local carpentry workshop. Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed by the skilled carpenters who showed us around the workshop. We observed various woodworking tools and watched as they transformed raw wood into beautiful pieces of furniture. The highlight of the day was when we got to try our hand at basic woodworking tasks under the guidance of the experienced craftsmen. It was challenging yet rewarding to create something with our own hands.
