|主题思维与表达|
(一)根据以下图片信息,回答相关问题。
1.What's the topic of the pictures above?
____________________________________________
“Selfie” has gained in popularity across the globe.
2.Can you say something about the phenomenon of the popularity of selfie according to your experience?(The answer may vary.)
Personally, selfie is a popular way of showing ourselves, through which some people may gain more confidence and have a chance to make friends.However, when obsessed too much with self-images, they may form a wrong viewpoint that recognition and comments from others are more important than life experiences.Therefore, only when we hold the right opinion that selfie is a way of entertainment rather than a part of daily life can we actually give full play to its advantage.
(二)阅读下面的小故事,并思考文后所给的问题。
I was thirteen when I was first called fat. Some friends and neighbours would make jokes on my big size.As I entered my late teens, I had completely lost confidence in my body and, subsequently, in myself.Having failed to live up to conventional beauty standards, I was convinced that if I wanted to be loved, I needed to offer more.
I entered adulthood thinking I wasn't “enough” — an idea that was seeded not only by the fact that “skinny” is celebrated, but also by the language associated with accounts of losing weight — self-improvement, discipline — all virtues.Being fat quickly categorizes you as lazy and undisciplined.Consumed by thoughts of the way my body looked, I didn't notice the other ways my body needed attention.Actually I developed a rare disease and later I had two surgeries.
I was always made to feel that my weight was the root of a lot of problems in my life; I have learnt this is not true.After a lot of self-reflection and some professional help, I realized I never learnt to like myself.While two decades of self-hatred cannot be undone overnight, I have taken first steps toward acceptance.
I am now much lighter than before, in body and mind.There are days I find voices on social media saying I am too fat to be loved or to be worthy, but I am learning not to focus on that thought for long.As long as I like myself, just the way I am, opinions at the end of the day are just water off a duck's back.
Questions:
1.Why did the author think she should do anything to please everyone around?
____________________________________________
2.Why did the author think she wasn't “enough”?
__________________________________________________
3.What caused the author to make a change?
_____________________
She was greatly influenced by others' opinions.
She was labelled as lazy and undisciplined for her weight.
A troublesome illness.
4.What changes did the author make?
______________________________________________
5.What do you learn from the story?
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
She began to learn to like herself and accept herself.
Learn to see the good things about ourselves and love ourselves just the way we are.Just as one celebrity said, “Beauty is being the best possible version of yourself on the inside and out.”

(时间:100分钟 满分:120分)
第一部分: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
No matter how much you love reading, sometimes it's good to mix up your regularly scheduled reading. After all, the next best thing to reading a book is reading a magazine about books. From killer reviews and anticipation-filled press releases, to book excerpts, short stories by some of literature's newest voices, and more, these magazines are filled with must-read publishing information that bookworms will love.
Bookforum
It offers readers exactly what their name suggests: a forum for sharing intelligent and artful book reviews and essays, and discussing literature. The magazine is a great place to hear about all the books that might not hit your radar otherwise.
World Literature Today
If one of your reading resolutions for 2025 is to read more diverse books, this bimonthly magazine, six issues a year, definitely needs to be your first stop. It publishes interviews, essays, poetry, fiction, and book reviews, and is a great way to get a sense of what is going on in literature all over the world.
Glimmer Train
It is a quarterly literary magazine of some of the best short fiction being published today — and you want to subscribe not only for their great content, but for their tendency to discover some of the freshest, newest voices in fiction. If the authors in it haven't published novels, tons of them will end up hitting bookstore shelves eventually.
Bookmarks Magazine
Published every second month, it features nearly 50 book reviews in each issue. Some of their latest themes include: novels of modern Cuba, prehistoric novels, fairy tales in modern fiction, contemporary Irish fiction, classic novels, and Chinese novels in translation: everything you could ever think of, and more.
语篇解读:本文是一篇应用文,主要介绍了几本与书籍相关的杂志,分别阐述了它们的特点、内容和出版周期,目的是向读者推荐这些杂志。
解析:细节理解题。根据World Literature Today中第一句可知,该杂志为双月刊,一年六期;根据Bookmarks Magazine中第一句可知,该杂志每两个月出版一次。由此可见,这两本杂志的出版周期相同,均为双月刊。
√
1.What do World Literature Today and Bookmarks Magazine have in common?
A.Main sections. B.Editing style.
C.Publication cycle. D.Language varieties.
解析:细节理解题。根据Glimmer Train中最后一句可知,如果该杂志中的作者尚未出版小说,他们中的许多人最终会将作品推向书店货架。这表明该杂志以刊登有潜力成为小说家的作者的作品为特色。
√
2.Which magazine features the works of potential novelists?
A.Bookforum. B.Glimmer Train.
C.World Literature Today. D.Bookmarks Magazine.
解析:写作意图题。根据第一段第三句可知,这些杂志包含书评、新闻稿、书籍节选、新作者的短篇小说等爱读书的人喜爱的出版信息。结合全文对四本杂志的特点、内容及出版周期的介绍,可推断本文目的是向读者推荐这些杂志。

B
A person, like a commodity, needs packaging.But going too far is absolutely undesirable.A little exaggeration (夸张), however, does no harm when it shows the person's unique qualities to their advantages.To show personal attractiveness in a casual and natural way, it is important for one to have a clear knowledge of oneself.A skilled packager knows how to add art to nature without any signs of_______________, so that the person so packaged is not a commodity, but a human being, lively and lovely.
embellishment
A young person, especially a female, shining with beauty and full of life, has all the favour granted.Any attempt to make up would be self-defeating. Youth, however, comes and goes in a flash.Packaging for the middle-aged is primarily to hide the marks made by years.If you still enjoy life enough to keep self-confidence and work at pioneering work, you are unique in your natural qualities, and your attractiveness and grace will remain. Elderly people are beautiful if their river of life has been through plains, mountains and jungles, running its course as it should. You have really lived your life, which now arrives at a self-satisfied stage of quietness and calmness with no interest in fame or wealth. There is no need to make
use of hair dyeing.The snow-capped mountain itself is a beautiful scene of fairyland.Let your looks change from young to old in step with the natural ageing process so as to keep in harmony with nature, for harmony itself is beauty, while the other way round will only end in unpleasantness.To be in the elder's company is like reading a thick book of good edition, which attracts one so much that one is unwilling to part with it. As long as one finds where one stands, one knows how to package oneself, just as a commodity sets up its brand by the right packaging.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。人和商品一样也需要包装,适当的包装会让人更加有魅力,但是过度的包装会适得其反。实际上每个年龄阶段都有自己独特的美,所以作者认为我们应该顺其自然地变老。
4.The underlined word in the first paragraph is closest to the word “_________” in meaning.
A.decoration B.clarification
C.movement D.identification
解析:词义猜测题。根据文章第一段画线词所在句可知,一个有技巧的包装者知道怎么增加自然的美而不留下任何装饰的痕迹。所以 embellishment为“装饰”之意,与decoration同义。
√
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Packaging for the middle-aged ... grace will remain.”可知,对于中年人来说吸引力是来自于内在的。
√
5.For the middle-aged, attractiveness ________.
A.hardly exists B.is the strongest
C.comes from the inside D.comes from the appearance
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Let your looks change ... end in unpleasantness.”可知,如果你想要和自然保持和谐,就应该遵循变老的过程。
√
6.According to the author, if you want to keep in harmony with nature, you should _________.
A.dye your hair B.make up at a young age
C.follow the ageing process D.give up fame and wealth
解析:句意理解题。根据第二段的画线句可知,这句话将老年人比喻成一本厚厚的书,言外之意是老年人经历了很多,有着丰富的人生阅历。
√
7.The underlined sentence means that elderly people _______.
A.are usually packaged like a finely-made book
B.experience a lot and have a rich knowledge of life
C.do a lot of traveling and can give us much information
D.enjoy reading thick books about beautiful nature and fairyland
C
We are often told not to judge people by their appearance, because for a person, abilities are far more important than appearance. Throughout history, there are numerous examples of outstanding people with remarkable achievements who are just plain or not good-looking at all.
However, nowadays some people hold the belief that appearance outweighs abilities, partly because some beautiful people seem to have advantages in competitive situations like job interviews and have been given more opportunities than others.
Nevertheless, I still firmly believe that abilities are more important. For one thing, although good looks are easy on the eye, it is always one's abilities that create values that really matter. For another, while people's good looks were born to them, abilities have to be gained through deliberate self-cultivation and years of hardworking which speak more of people's true colors. Last but not least, abilities grow over time while good looks only fade. Eventually, it is the abilities that help people succeed, so it is safe to say that abilities will always bring more to life than good looks.
People always attach great importance to the soul, as the saying goes that a beautiful soul outweighs everything, so in the movie, the everlasting theme is that an ugly girl wins the true love at last. Recently, a hot topic of discussing whether the girls' outlook is important has emerged. The fact is that people reach their agreement that outlook really matters, if a person looks terrible, no one will like to make friends with him, let alone to know about him. In my opinion, a beautiful
soul is of great importance, but if people don't make themselves look comfortable outside, no one wants to know his inside. We need to clear ourselves, it doesn't mean we must make up, we should make ourselves look comfortable and confident, we should dress the tidy clothes and make our hair in order. People say outlook is not important, but it doesn't mean we give up our outlook and let it look terrible.
语篇解读:本文是一篇议论文。作者通过对比不同观点,强调能力的重要性,同时指出外表的适度修饰是展现内在美的辅助条件,最终呼吁 “内外兼修”。
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段“However, nowadays some people ... more opportunities than others.”可知,有些人认为外貌比能力重要是因为一些好看的人在竞争场合中似乎有优势,能得到更多机会,故选D。
√
8.Why do some people think appearance is more important than abilities?
A.Because beautiful people are all more talented.
B.Because appearance is easier to be noticed.
C.Because abilities can be improved over time.
D.Because some good-looking people get more opportunities.
解析:词义猜测题。 根据“although good looks ... that create values”可知,此处强调外貌的即时吸引力与能力的持久价值形成对立,“Easy on the eye”指“视觉上令人愉悦的”,与A项意思相近,故选A。
√
9.What does the phrase “easy on the eye” in paragraph 3 most likely mean?
A.Visually attractive. B.Quickly noticeable.
C.Harmless to vision. D.Simple to understand.
解析:细节理解题。根据最后一段“In my opinion ... make our hair in order.”可知,作者认为我们应该让自己看起来干净、整洁和自信来展现内在美,故选C。
√
10.According to the author, what should we do to show our inner beauty?
A.We should focus on our appearance instead of abilities.
B.We should try our best to make up to look more beautiful.
C.We should keep ourselves clean, tidy and confident.
D.We should gain more abilities and ignore our appearance.
解析:主旨大意题。文章开篇提到不应以貌取人,能力更重要,接着又说外貌也有一定作用,最后指出美丽的心灵很重要,但也要让自己外表看起来舒服,所以文章主旨是外貌和能力都重要,故选C。
√
11.What is the main idea of the passage?
A.Appearance is more important than abilities.
B.Abilities are more important than appearance.
C.Appearance and abilities are both important.
D.People should attach more importance to appearance.
D
People who possess high self-esteem are able to commit better and produce a greater bond in relationships with others.Dr Douglas feels that most people do not value themselves, but with love and self-respect anyone can be above normality and grasp success with the family, the office, or others.
We have become too reliant on intelligence, beauty, and money for our own self-esteem.The loss of esteem reduces the will and ability to set and reach goals.In a series of readings, Douglas teaches how to avoid negative statements, how to change them into self-motivating behaviour, and how to take charge of your mental attitude.Where other motivational and self-help works stop with the theoretical plan for success, Douglas takes everyday examples and puts them into his books.From raising children who believe in themselves to using self-esteem to help bridge the gap in the workplace, he gives readers concrete solutions to the problems that might ruin their interpersonal relations.
Self-esteem building comes from filling your thoughts with positive affirmations (肯定) and learning to react to failures with motivation instead of self-destruction.These lessons are valuable for anyone who feels that life is even slightly out of control.People who feel they have adequate esteem can learn to use it to make their success grander, faster, and more beneficial for others.Douglas approaches this process of self-development as a means of more than creating good things for the individual but also for setting up keys for influencing good things for others.
For more than thirty years, Dr Douglas has addressed more than two million people on topics from time management to speaking effectively to raising drug-free children.He is the author of fifteen books, including How to Make a Habit of Succeeding.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了自尊心强的好处及如何培养自尊。
解析:推理判断题。根据第一段“People who possess high self-esteem are able to commit better and produce a greater bond in relationships with others.”可知,第一段主要讲述自尊很重要,可以帮助人们获得成功。
√
12.What can we infer from paragraph 1?
A.Most people behave well enough.
B.Self-respect means being above normality.
C.Self-esteem matters much.
D.Committing better equals greater success.
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句可知,道格拉斯博士将日常案例写进书里,是为了为人们提供具体的解决方法。
√
13.Why does Douglas put everyday examples into his books?
A.To be reliant on self-esteem.
B.To set and reach goals.
C.To avoid negative thoughts.
D.To offer concrete solutions.
解析:细节理解题。根据第三段“Self-esteem building comes from filling your thoughts ...is even slightly out of control.”可知,作者建议生活有些失控的人应该学会给予自己积极的肯定,并且能够以一种积极的心态应对失败。
√
14.What does the author advise those whose life is slightly out of control to do?
A.Learn to be positive. B.Face it in an unmotivated manner.
C.Admit self-destruction. D.Ask for help.
解析:细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句可知,自我发展不仅仅是为了影响自己,还为了影响更多的人。
√
15.What's the most important to be self-development?
A.Influencing the individual.
B.Influencing more people.
C.Gaining more benefits.
D.Speaking more effectively.
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。
Many people think that when they become rich and successful, happiness will naturally follow. ____ The world is full of very rich people who lead a miserable life and still feel there is something missing.Quite clearly, money is not the only answer to all problems.
16
17 Lottery winnings do not bring happiness.Gambling winnings do not bring happiness.To my mind, the secret to happiness lies in your successful work, in your contribution towards others' happiness and in your wealth you have earned through your own honest effort.If you obtain wealth through luck or dishonest means, you will know that it is ill-earned money.If you get your money by taking advantage of others or by hurting others, you will not be happy with it. 18
Long-term happiness is based on honesty, productive work, contribution, and self-esteem. 19 It is a continuous process of honest, productive work which makes a real contribution to others and makes you feel you are a useful, worthy person.
As Dr Wayne wrote, “There is no way to happiness.Happiness is the way.” There is no use saying “Someday when I achieve these goals, when I get a car, build a house and own my own business, then I will be really happy.” Life just does not work that way.If you wait for certain things to happen and depend on external circumstances of life to make you happy, you will always feel unfulfilled. 20
A.Happiness is not an end; it is a process.
B.There will always be something missing.
C.You will think you are an immoral person.
D.Let me tell you that nothing is further from the truth.
E.Wealth obtained through dishonest means does not bring happiness.
F.People may have different ideas as for the ways of achieving happiness.
G.It is up to us to find the ways to achieve that happiness we seek and long for.
语篇解读:本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了幸福的真正含义。
16.选D 上文“Many people think that when they become rich and successful, happiness will naturally follow.”指出许多人认为,当他们变得富有和成功就会幸福;下文“The world is full of very rich people who ...missing.”指出,事实上,即使富有也未必幸福。D项承上启下,下文具体对此进行说明,符合语境。
17.选E 下文“Lottery winnings do not bring happiness.Gambling winnings do not bring happiness.”举例说明了非正当手段获取的财富并不会带来幸福,E项“通过欺诈的手段获得的财富不会带来幸福。”引起下文,呼应下文中的“If you obtain ...happy with it.”。
18.选C 上文“If you get your money by taking advantage of others or by hurting others, you will not be happy with it.”指出,通过占别人便宜或者通过伤害别人来获得的财富不会使你快乐。空处承接上文,继续描写这样做带来的不好影响,故C项“你会觉得自己是个不道德的人。”符合语境。
19.选A 上文“Long-term happiness is based on honesty, productive work, contribution, and self-esteem.”介绍了幸福的源泉;下文“It is a continuous process of honest, productive work which makes a real contribution to others and makes you feel you are a useful, worthy person.”指出,幸福是一个过程。由此可知,空处承上启下,围绕幸福而写,故A项“幸福不是终点,而是一个过程。”符合语境。
20.选B 上文“Life just does not work that way.If you wait for certain things to happen and depend on external circumstances of life to make you happy, you will always feel unfulfilled.”提到,生活中,如果总是等待某些事情发生,依赖外部环境来使自己快乐,你将总是感到不满足。空处承接上文,对此进行解释,即因为生活中总是会有缺失的东西,这总会让你感到不满足,故B项“总会有些东西缺失。”符合语境。
第二部分: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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
My great-grandma, “Miss Martha”, as she has become known at her senior home, has developed a reputation for being 21 .I always enjoy 22 to her because she is full of caring 23 , willing to share life lessons.
One day when I went to visit my great-grandma, she sat in a chair and said to me, “Caleb, you must be 24 and stay alive to reach your goals.So, take care of your body and 25 , or you'll never reach your biggest dreams.”
My great-grandma 26 went to the Olympics, owned a business, or wrote a book.She said that her dreams were 27 :to have enough food to share, to be healthy and to survive challenges.As she leaned (倚靠) back, she proudly talked about her family members' 28 :After fifteen years of countless surgeries, her daughter could 29 on her own and raise a family.Other family members competed in the Olympic Games, ran their own businesses, or became a(n) 30 whose books were read by most people.Yet my great-grandma was particularly 31 of seeing her family serve others and try to make a 32 .“You know, members of our family are reaching their goals, and that's enough for me,” she said.

“Sweetie, I 35 believe that you will also reach your goals and I will be proud of you,” she said with a warm kiss on my cheek.“Keep trying to realize dreams, and you'll feel blessed.”

语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了作者的室友玛丽因为在意别人对她外表的评价,所以总是过分注重打扮和身材,导致了健康问题。
36.to 考查介词。短语be sensitive to表示“对……敏感”,符合句意“我的室友玛丽对别人对她外表的评价很敏感”。故填to。
37.making 考查非谓语动词。短语spend time (in) doing sth.表示“花费时间做某事”,动名词作宾语,符合“每天上课前,她都要花大量时间在宿舍化妆”的语境。故填making。
38.bothered 考查形容词。作表语,表示“烦恼的”,用于描述人的主观感受,符合“她有很多支口红,经常烦恼不知道该用哪一支”中她的状态。故填bothered。
39.skinny 考查形容词。作表语,表示“瘦的”,符合“虽然她现在很瘦了,但她仍然吃减肥药来保持苗条的身材”的描述。故填skinny。
40.which 考查定语从句。非限制性定语从句修饰上文整个句子,从句缺少主语,关系代词which可指代前文内容,符合“这给她的健康带来了危害”的逻辑。故填which。
41.comprehension 考查名词。作介词的宾语,用名词形式comprehension(不可数),符合“我们无法理解她的行为”的表达。故填comprehension。
42.to pay 考查非谓语动词。短语advise sb. to do sth.表示“建议某人做某事”,不定式作宾补,符合“我们多次建议她注意身体健康”的结构。故填to pay。
43.As 考查固定句型。表示“正如……所说”用句型as sb. put it,此处首字母要大写,符合“正如一位小说家所说‘美德远胜于美貌。’”的语境。故填As。
44.sincerely 考查副词。修饰动词hope用副词sincerely,符合“我真诚地希望她能对外在美有一个正确的认识”的表达。故填sincerely。
45.her 考查代词。修饰名词attention用形容词性物主代词her,符合“把注意力和精力集中在学习上”中“她的注意力”的表述。故填her。

第二节(满分25分)
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。
Already Perfect
Each one of us struggles with self-worth to some degree.I spent much of my time attempting to achieve perfection in every aspect of my life.What I didn't realize was that in my efforts to be perfect, I almost lost my life.
During my childhood, I wanted everyone's praise and acceptance.After I graduated from high school, my struggles with self-worth increased.I began to put pressure on myself to succeed in the adult world.Meanwhile, I wasn't feeling very confident and successful.I started to believe that my difficulties and “failures” in life were caused by my weight.I had always been a thin-to-average-sized person.Suddenly, I was convinced that I was overweight.In my mind, I was FAT!
Slowly, I began to control my food by trying to diet, but nothing seemed to work.I continued to reduce what I ate each day and told myself that I would succeed, and in turn, I felt good about myself.
People around me began to notice my weight loss.At first, they weren't alarmed; maybe some were even envious.But then the comments showed some concern.“You're losing too much weight.” “Elisa, you're so thin.” “You look sick.” “You'll die if you keep this up.” All their words only made me believe that I was on the right path, getting closer to “perfection”.
My poor nutrition (营养) began to cause me to lose sleep.I found it hard to concentrate on my work or to focus on anything for a long time.I was pushing myself harder and harder at the gym, struggling to burn fat.My parents tried to stop me, but I disagreed that I had a problem.None of my clothes fit, and it was hard to buy any, since I had become too thin!
注意:1.续写词数应为 150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
Then one night, I couldn't sleep again, and my heart beat its way out of my chest. ______________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When I lay on the hospital bed, I began to rethink what I did to my body. _______________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
参考范文:
Then one night, I couldn't sleep again, and my heart beat its way out of my chest.I tried to relax, but I couldn't.The beating became so rapid and so strong that I could no longer breathe.Really scared and ill, I felt I was going to die.Knowing that help was needed, I stood up, went towards the door, and immediately fell down, letting out a cry of pain.Awakened by the unusual sound, my parents came in to see what had happened.Shocked and worried, they rushed me to the hospital.It took doctors and nurses several hours to bring me back to life.
When I lay on the hospital bed, I began to rethink what I did to my body. I decided to stop my foolish way of losing weight and pursuing perfection.Instead, I must be confident of myself and stay committed to being healthy.I now use my intelligence, talents and acts of kindness to express myself.This is true beauty, and it has nothing to do with the size of my body.With my experience of trying to be “perfect” on the outside, I had forgotten who I was on the inside.What I know now is that we are — each and every one of us — already perfect.
