Like many others, I wanted to make resolutions that would help me improve my life. I realized that simply hoping for change was not enough; I needed to take action. First, I decided to spend less time talking and more time doing. In the past year, my friends and I often wasted hours talking and chatting about unimportant things. With important exams coming up, I knew I had to focus on my studies. This year, I promised myself to prioritize my schoolwork and put in the effort needed to succeed. Next, I recognized that I needed to cut down on my screen time. I loved watching TV and browsing the internet, but I realized these activities took away valuable time I could spend studying. Instead of getting lost in shows or videos, I planned to dedicate more time to reading and reviewing my lessons. This way, I could stay on track with my studies and be better prepared for my exams. I also thought about my involvement in sports. While I enjoyed playing games with friends, I realized that my academic performance was more important. I decided to reduce my time spent on sports and focus more on my studies. I knew that doing well in school would have a greater impact on my future. Finally, I made sure to keep my resolutions simple and realistic. In the past, I often set too many goals and ended up feeling overwhelmed. This year, I focused on a few key resolutions that I could easily remember and stick to. As the New Year began, I felt hopeful and ready to take on the challenges ahead. I was determined to make this year one of action and achievement! 4. How did the author feel as the New Year was approaching? A. A lack of interest and passion. B. A mix of confusion and uncertainty. C. A sense of calmness and relaxation. D. A combination of enthusiasm and resolve. 5. What change did the author intend to make? A. Focusing on chatting with others. B. Ignoring schoolwork completely. C. Ranking schoolwork as more important. D. Spending equal time on all activities. 6. What can be concluded from the author? A. He would give up on his studies. B. He would get involved in various sports. C. He would increase more time spent watching television. D. He would shorten screen time and commit to academic goals. 7. Which of the following can best describe the author’s resolution this year? A. Complex. B. Reasonable. C. Unclear. D. Unrealistic. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述作者在新年来临之际制定的新年决心，以及为改善生活、专注学习所做的具体规划。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“As the New Year approached, I felt a mix of excitement and determination. (随着新年的临近，我感到既兴奋又坚定。)”可知，作者在新年来临之际，内心充满了兴奋和决心。故选D项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“This year, I promised myself to prioritize my schoolwork and put in the effort needed to succeed. (今年，我向自己保证要优先考虑我的学业，并付出取得成功所需的努力。)”和第三段中的“I planned to dedicate more time to reading and reviewing my lessons. This way, I could stay on track with my studies and be better prepared for my exams. (我计划把更多的时间用于阅读和复习功课。这样，我就能跟上学习进度，为考试做好更充分的准备。)”以及第四段中的“I realized that my academic performance was more important. I decided to reduce my time spent on sports and focus more on my studies. (我意识到我的学习成绩更重要。我决定减少花在体育运动上的时间，更多地专注于学习。)”可知，作者打算做出的改变是将学业放在更重要的位置。故选C项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“I recognized that I needed to cut down on my screen time. I loved watching TV and browsing the internet, but I realized these activities took away valuable time I could spend studying. Instead of getting lost in shows or videos, I planned to dedicate more time to reading and reviewing my lessons. (我意识到我需要减少屏幕时间。我喜欢看电视和上网，但我意识到这些活动占用了我本可以用来学习的宝贵时间。我计划把更多的时间用于阅读和复习功课，而不是沉迷于节目或视频。)”可推断，作者会缩短屏幕时间，并致力于实现学业目标。故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Finally, I made sure to keep my resolutions simple and realistic. In the past, I often set too many goals and ended up feeling overwhelmed. This year, I focused on a few key resolutions that I could easily remember and stick to. (最后，我确保我的决心简单而现实。过去，我经常设定太多目标，结果感到不知所措。今年，我专注于几个关键的决心，我可以很容易地记住并坚持下去。)”可推断，作者今年的决心是简单且现实的，即合理的。故选B项。 C What we define as beautiful depends on who sees it — the young or the old, through the Asian or Western eyes or the beauty experts. For example, the Kayan tribe in Southeast Asia considers women with long brass neck rings to be the most beautiful. The longer the neck rings, the more beautiful they are regarded. In many Asian cultures, having fair skin is seen as the ideal. In contrast, Hollywood stars like Angelina Jolie and Jessica Alba represent beauty in Western culture, admired for their smooth skin and attractive features. In the fashion industry, being slim is often linked to beauty. Many models are extremely thin, which can lead to serious health problems such as eating disorders. To tackle this issue, countries like Spain and Italy have banned models who are too thin from participating in fashion shows. This change aims to protect models’health and influence young people who look up to them. Youth is another quality often associated with beauty. This has led to an increase in cosmetic treatments, as many people seek quick ways to appear younger. Unfortunately, some individuals visit unlicensed practitioners for these treatments, which can be very dangerous for their health. However, focusing too much on outer beauty can cause us to overlook inner beauty. As Confucius said, “Everything has its beauty, but not everyone sees it.” For instance, Susan Boyle was judged by her appearance, but when she sang, everyone was amazed by her beautiful voice. This shows that true beauty comes from within. In conclusion, we should value inner beauty and understand that a person’s true worth is not only about their looks. By recognizing the importance of character and kindness, we can develop a better understanding of what beauty really means. 8. How do Kayan tribe women show their beauty? A. By wearing long hair. B. By having fair skin. C. By wearing brass neck rings. D. By having slim figures. 9. What can we infer about the effect of fashion models on young people? A. They mislead beauty standards. B. They promote healthy body images. C. They help young people accept their looks. D. They inspire young people to be confident. 10. What does the author aim to convey? A. Fashion models should always be thin. B. Beauty standards are the same everywhere. C. Youth is the most important part of beauty. D. Inner beauty matters much more than outer appearance. 11. What would be the best title for this passage? A. The Leading Role of Beauty B. The True meaning of Beauty C. The Great Importance of Beauty D. The Profound Influence of Beauty 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章讨论了不同文化、不同人群对美的不同定义，指出当下对外在美的过度追求带来的问题，并引用事例与名言强调内在美才是真正的美，呼吁人们重视内在品质。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“For example, the Kayan tribe in Southeast Asia considers women with long brass neck rings to be the most beautiful.(例如，东南亚的克扬部落认为佩戴长铜颈环的女性最美)”可知，克扬部落女性通过佩戴铜颈环展现美丽。故选C。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Many models are extremely thin, which can lead to serious health problems such as eating disorders.(许多模特极度消瘦，这会引发饮食失调等严重健康问题)”和“This change aims to protect models’ health and influence young people who look up to them.(这一改变旨在保护模特健康，并影响仰慕她们的年轻人)”可推知，时尚模特误导了年轻人的审美标准。故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“However, focusing too much on outer beauty can cause us to overlook inner beauty.(然而，过度关注外在美会让我们忽视内在美)”和第六段“In conclusion, we should value inner beauty and understand that a person’s true worth is not only about their looks.(总之，我们应该重视内在美，明白一个人的真正价值不只在于外表)”可推知，作者意在表达内在美远比外在美重要。故选D。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，根据最后一段“In conclusion, we should value inner beauty and understand that a person’s true worth is not only about their looks. By recognizing the importance of character and kindness, we can develop a better understanding of what beauty really means.(总之，我们应当重视内在美，并明白一个人真正的价值并不仅仅取决于其外表。通过认识到品质和善良的重要性，我们能够更好地理解美真正的含义)”可知，全文从不同审美标准谈起，最终落脚于“真正的美源于内在”，核心是探讨美的真正含义。由此可知，B选项The True meaning of Beauty(美的真正含义)贴合全文核心，适合用作标题。故选B。 D The development of computers has significantly changed the way people work, especially in the area of remote employment. Since the end of World War II, computers have evolved from large, mechanical machines to powerful, compact devices that fit in our homes and offices. This technological advancement has made it possible for many office tasks to be performed from home, allowing for greater flexibility and efficiency in the workplace. As a result, remote work has become increasingly popular among various professions, offering individuals the chance to balance their personal and professional lives more effectively. However, while remote work has its advantages, it also comes with several challenges. Some people enjoy the freedom that comes with working from home, but many thrive in social environments provided by traditional offices. The ability to interact with colleagues fosters teamwork and creativity, which are essential for success in many jobs. Additionally, when work and home life mix together, it can lead to stress and difficulties in maintaining a healthy work-life balance. This overlap makes it hard for individuals to separate their work responsibilities from their personal lives, which can negatively impact their well-being. As technology continues to improve, the trend of remote work is likely to grow. Many creative professionals, such as writers, designers, and artists, have long embraced the flexibility of working from home. With advancements in technology, more employees may have the opportunity to choose their work environment. However, it is important to remember that humans are social beings who often need interaction and a structured environment to perform at their best. Without these elements, some individuals may struggle to stay motivated and productive. In conclusion, while computers have made remote work feasible, it is essential to consider the social and psychological effects of this shift. The future of work may involve a combination of remote and in-office arrangements, allowing individuals to enjoy both flexibility and social engagement. Finding a balance between these aspects will be crucial for maintaining productivity and job satisfaction in the modern workplace. As we look ahead, it is important to recognize the value of both technology and personal connection in shaping our work experiences. 12. What can we infer from the second paragraph? A. Remote work is only popular in a few professions. B. Computers have only been used in offices since World War II. C. The evolution of computers has no influence on work flexibility. D. The development of computers contributes to the rise of remote work. 13. What is one of the challenges of remote work? A. It destroys the creativity of employees. B. It confuses the work with personal life. C. It causes employees to lose their freedom. D. It makes employees feel impossible to keep social ties. 14. Which is closest in meaning to “feasible” in paragraph 5? A. achievable. B. memorable. C. comfortable. D. changeable. 15. What is the author’s attitude towards the future of remote work? A. Strongly opposing. B. Highly skeptical. C. Cautiously optimistic. D. Absolutely Positive. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了计算机发展对远程工作的影响及未来趋势。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“This technological advancement has made it possible for many office tasks to be performed from home, allowing for greater flexibility and efficiency in the workplace.(这一技术进步使得许多办公室工作可以在家里完成，使工作场所具有更大的灵活性和效率。)”可知，计算机的发展促进了远程工作的兴起。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Additionally, when work and home life mix together, it can lead to stress and difficulties in maintaining a healthy work-life balance. This overlap makes it hard for individuals to separate their work responsibilities from their personal lives, which can negatively impact their well-being.(此外，当工作和家庭生活混合在一起时，可能会导致压力和难以维持健康的工作与生活平衡。这种重叠使得个人很难将工作职责与个人生活分开，这会对他们的幸福产生负面影响。)”可知，远程工作的一个挑战是它将工作与个人生活混淆在一起。故选B。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第五段“In conclusion, while computers have made remote work feasible, it is essential to consider the social and psychological effects of this shift. The future of work may involve a combination of remote and in-office arrangements, allowing individuals to enjoy both flexibility and social engagement.(总之，虽然计算机让远程办公feasible，但我们必须考虑这种变化带来的社会和心理影响。未来的工作模式或将结合远程办公和线下办公，让人们既能享受灵活性，又能拥有社交互动。)”可知，计算机使远程工作变得可行，所以feasible意思是“可行的”，与achievable意思相近。故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“In conclusion, while computers have made remote work feasible, it is essential to consider the social and psychological effects of this shift. The future of work may involve a combination of remote and in-office arrangements, allowing individuals to enjoy both flexibility and social engagement. Finding a balance between these aspects will be crucial for maintaining productivity and job satisfaction in the modern workplace. As we look ahead, it is important to recognize the value of both technology and personal connection in shaping our work experiences.(总之，虽然计算机让远程办公成为现实，但我们必须考虑这种变化带来的社会和心理影响。未来的工作模式或将结合远程办公和线下办公，让人们既能享受灵活性，又能拥有社交互动。平衡二者，对于保持工作效率和工作满意度至关重要。展望未来，我们既要重视科技，也要重视人际交往，共同打造更好的工作体验。)”可知，作者对远程工作的未来持谨慎乐观的态度。故选C。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The importance of homework Homework is an essential part of a student’s education, even if many students dislike it. They often feel that homework takes away their free time, which they would prefer to spend on leisure activities. ____16____ It gives students practice in what they have learned in class. Without this additional practice, students will usually forget what they have learned. ____17____ When the teacher marks the homework, the teacher will also be able to check if a student needs help with a certain topic or concept. It keeps students occupied in productive activities. ____18____ They would most likely spend their time on things which they enjoy but are not beneficial. Homework ensures that students do some studying which will help them do better in examinations. Otherwise, their time would be wasted on unproductive and even unhealthy pastimes. ____19____ Homework is usually done at home where there is no supervision by teachers. Unless students have strict parents who monitor what they do, it is up to the students to decide when to do the work or even whether to complete the task or not. With this, students would slowly become more used to the idea of doing independent work without someone breathing down their necks. To conclude, homework plays a very important role in education, even though students like to complain about it. ____20____ Therefore, students should approach homework with a positive attitude and a sense of responsibility. A. It promotes students’ self-discipline effectively. B. Many students believe homework limits their leisure time. C. Homework can cause stress and anxiety for some students. D. Actually, homework plays a crucial role in education for many benefits. E. It strengthens learning, engages students, and develops essential life skills. F. The extra work helps students check their understanding of lessons taught. G. Without homework, students will have a lot of time on their hands after school. 【答案】16. D 17. F 18. G 19. A 20. E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了家庭作业在教育中的重要性，包括巩固学习、让学生参与学习、培养生活技能等方面的作用。 【16题详解】 上文“Homework is an essential part of a student’s education, even if many students dislike it. They often feel that homework takes away their free time, which they would prefer to spend on leisure activities.(家庭作业是学生教育中必不可少的一部分，即使许多学生不喜欢它。他们常常觉得家庭作业占用了他们的空闲时间，他们更愿意把这些时间花在休闲活动上)”说明虽然学生不喜欢家庭作业，觉得它占用时间，但家庭作业其实很重要。空处和前文为转折关系，引出作业的积极作用。所以D项“实际上，家庭作业在教育中起着至关重要的作用，有许多好处。”符合语境。故选D。 【17题详解】 上文“It gives students practice in what they have learned in class. Without this additional practice, students will usually forget what they have learned.(它让学生练习他们在课堂上学到的东西。如果没有这种额外的练习，学生通常会忘记他们所学的东西)”说明家庭作业能让学生练习课堂所学，巩固知识。空处和前文为顺接关系，进一步说明家庭作业的额外作用。所以F项“额外的作业帮助学生检查他们对所教课程的理解。”符合语境。故选F。 【18题详解】 上文“It keeps students occupied in productive activities.(它让学生忙于有成效的活动)”说明家庭作业能让学生有事可做。下文“They would most likely spend their time on things which they enjoy but are not beneficial.(他们很可能会把时间花在他们喜欢但无益的事情上)”说明没有作业学生会出现的情况，空处和前文为对比关系，从反面说明没有作业的情况。所以G项“没有家庭作业，学生放学后会有很多空闲时间。”符合语境，下文中的They指代该项中的students。故选G。 【19题详解】 下文“Homework is usually done at home where there is no supervision by teachers. Unless students have strict parents who monitor what they do, it is up to the students to decide when to do the work or even whether to complete the task or not. With this, students would slowly become more used to the idea of doing independent work without someone breathing down their necks.(家庭作业通常是在家里完成的，没有老师的监督。除非学生有严格的父母来监督他们的行为，否则由学生自己决定什么时候做作业，甚至是否完成任务。这样，学生就会慢慢习惯于在没有别人监督的情况下做独立的工作)”说明家庭作业能培养学生的自律能力。空处为段落主题句，应概括本段内容，即家庭作业能有效促进学生的自律。所以A项“它能有效促进学生的自律。”符合语境。故选A。 【20题详解】 上文“To conclude, homework plays a very important role in education, even though students like to complain about it.(总之，家庭作业在教育中的作用非常重要，尽管学生们喜欢抱怨它)”说明家庭作业在教育中有重要作用。空处和前文为顺接关系，进一步总结家庭作业的作用。所以E项“它巩固学习，让学生参与学习，并培养基本的生活技能。”符合语境，该项中It指代前文中的“homework”。故选E。 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 In Richmond, Virginia, one Saturday morning, an old man went into the market to buy something.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了美国首席大法官约翰·马歇尔身着朴素衣物在市场购物时，主动帮一位因不愿自己拎火鸡而发脾气的年轻人送货且分文不取，年轻人得知其身份后羞愧不已，故事传递了为人不应高傲自满的道理。 【21题详解】 考查副词词义辨析。句意：他穿着朴素，外套破旧，帽子脏兮兮的。A. colorfully色彩鲜艳地；B. elegantly优雅地；C. plainly朴素地；D. fashionably时髦地。根据下文“his coat was worn, and his hat was dingy”可知，老人的外套破旧、帽子肮脏，由此可推断他穿着十分朴素，故选C。 【22题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：他胳膊上挎着一个小篮子。A. stick棍子；B. basket篮子；C. box盒子；D. bell铃铛。根据下文“The market man a sheet of paper and put it in the basket”可知，售货员将老人买的火鸡包好后放进了篮子，故选B。 【23题详解】 考查动词短语辨析。句意：他问了价格然后付了钱。A. paid for支付；B. turned to转向；C. bargained for讨价还价；D. dealt with处理。根据上文“He asked the price”以及老人到市场购物的语境可知，问完商品价格后，下一步就是支付钱款，符合日常购物的逻辑，故选A。 【24题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：售货员用一张纸（把火鸡）包好，然后放进篮子里。A. cut切；B. tore撕；C. sent送；D. wrapped包裹。根据生活常识以及下文“put it in the basket”可知，火鸡是生鲜食品，售货员在将其放进老人的篮子前，会用纸张包裹好，防止弄脏篮子，其他选项均不符合该语境，故选D。 【25题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：他说：“我要一只火鸡，立刻送到我家。”A. bring带来；B. take买，拿走；C. carry搬运；D. catch抓住。根据下文“send it to my house at once”可知。年轻人付钱买火鸡、要求送货，take在此处有“购买、拿走”的含义，符合语境，故选B。 【26题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：此外，送货不是我们的惯例。A. habit习惯；B. way方式；C. custom惯例，习俗；D. choice选择。根据上文售货员说“Sorry, there is no one else to send”以及拒绝送货的表述可知，送货并不是这家市场的常规做法，custom指“群体或行业的惯例、习俗”，故选C。 【27题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：想想我在街上拎着火鸡的样子！A. Fancy想象，设想；B. Consider考虑；C. Permit允许；D. Believe相信。根据上文年轻人反问“Carry it myself? Who do you think I am?”可知，他觉得自己身份体面，拎着火鸡在街上走很不雅观，fancy doing sth.为固定用法，意为“想象做某事”，符合年轻人此刻不屑、不满的语气，故选A。 【28题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：他开始变得非常生气。A. eager渴望的；B. delighted高兴的；C. desperate绝望的；D. angry生气的。根据上文“Carry it myself? Who do you think I am?”可知，年轻人不愿自己拎火鸡，且用反问句表达不满，结合上文“began to grow very”可知，他的情绪逐渐变得激动、生气，故选D。 29题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：老人站得很近，所以听到了所有对话。A. persuaded说服；B. explained解释；C. explored探索；D. heard听见。根据上文“The old man was standing so near”以及下文“I will carry your turkey”可知，老人因为站得近，听到了年轻人和售货员之间的所有对话，才会主动提供帮助，故选D。 【30题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：“打扰一下，”他说，“如果你允许的话，或许我可以帮你拎火鸡。”A. please使高兴；B. entertain招待；C. allow允许；D. bother打扰。根据上文老人说话的语气“Excuse me”以及“maybe I will carry your turkey”可知，老人是在询问年轻人是否允许自己提供帮助，故选C。 【31题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：“对我来说不麻烦，不用客气。”A. trouble麻烦；B. wonder奇迹；C. need需要；D. denying否认。根据上文“I will carry your turkey”以及下文“you are welcome”可知，老人表示帮忙拎火鸡对自己来说并不费力，It is no trouble to sb.为固定表达，意为“对某人来说不麻烦”，符合老人乐于助人、谦逊的态度，故选A。 【32题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：然后他转身轻快地走回市场。A. house房子；B. court法庭；C. market市场；D. country国家。根据下文“he asked of the market man”可知，年轻人回到了之前买火鸡的市场，向售货员询问老人的身份，因此此处是指“走回市场”，故选C。 【33题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：这位年轻绅士既惊讶又羞愧。A. ashamed羞愧的；B. sad难过的；C. happy开心的；D. anxious焦虑的。根据下文“That is John Marshall, Chief Justice of the USA, one of the greatest men in our country”可知，年轻人得知自己不屑于做、甚至发脾气拒绝的拎火鸡这件事，帮忙的竟然是美国首席大法官，对比自己的高傲无礼和马歇尔的谦逊低调，他内心会感到羞愧，故选A。 【34题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：“他想给你一个教训，人不应该高傲到连自己的包裹都不愿拎。”售货员回答。A. mistake错误；B. lesson教训；C. fact事实；D. truth真相。根据下文“that no man should feel himself too fine to carry his own ”可知，马歇尔主动帮忙的行为，是想让年轻人明白一个道理，teach sb. a lesson为固定搭配，意为“给某人一个教训”，故选B。 【35题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：“他想给你一个教训，人不应该高傲到连自己的包裹都不愿拎。”售货员回答。A. coat外套；B. packages包裹；C. hat帽子；D. money钱。根据上文年轻人不愿自己拎火鸡可知，此处泛指个人的物品，火鸡被包裹好后属于“包裹”，故选B。 第二节 语法填空（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Memorizing new English words ____36____ (be) tough.

It all happened so quickly. I was sitting in my room with my cat, Smartie, on my lap, when the roof just flow off. All of a sudden, there was sky where the roof had been. I was so frightened that I just froze. Mom tried to get out quickly, but it was already too late by then. The rain was coming down so hard and so fast. Our street turned into a river in seconds. We were going nowhere. At first, I was pleased we could stay at home, but soon it got really tough. Without a roof, staying inside was too dangerous. There was water everywhere, but we couldn’t drink any of it otherwise we’d get really sick. We just had drinking water that was sent to us by helicopter, but it was never enough. It was August, so it was really, really hot and it smelled so bad everywhere! I just spent the days watching the boats going up and down the street and looking out for Smartie. He had disappeared the moment the storm hit. Living in the open air, we became breakfast, lunch and dinner for the mosquitos. But Mom said that whatever happens, we should always try to see the good side of things. It was difficult to stay positive, though. We had lost our home and everything in it, including Smartie. All we had left were the clothes on our backs. But as Mom kept on reminding us, we were all together and safe. Mom’s words made us feel better. I remember us all lying under the midnight sky and looking up at the stars. Because there were no lights, we could see the Big Dipper, the Little Dipper and the Milky Way. It was amazing! Even though we had lost a lot, moments like those gave us hope for the future. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 About a week after the storm, we woke up to the familiar sound. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The reunion with Smartie was a reminder that we could rebuild our homes. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 About a week after the storm, we woke up to the familiar sound. It was the soft meow that I had missed so deeply. I jumped up instantly, following the sound to a broken wooden cabinet half-buried in debris. There, huddled among a tattered blanket, was Smartie! His fur was matted with mud, but his eyes sparkled with recognition when he saw me. I scooped him up into my arms, tears streaming down my face. Mom explained that a neighbor had spotted him wandering near the ruins and lured him over with some leftover food. In that moment, all the exhaustion and sadness of the past week melted away, replaced by overwhelming joy. The reunion with Smartie was a reminder that we could rebuild our homes. If Smartie could find his way back to us against all odds, surely we could piece our lives back together too. With renewed hope, we started sorting through the wreckage, salvaging whatever we could. Volunteers arrived with supplies and tools, and neighbors helped clear the debris from our street. Every time I held Smartie in my arms while working, I felt a surge of strength. Months later, our new home stood tall, and we hung a photo of Smartie by the door. He wasn’t just a cat — he was a symbol of resilience, proof that even after the worst storms, love and hope could help us rise again. 【解析】 【导语】本文以飓风为线索展开，讲述作者家屋顶被掀，街道被淹，猫咪Smartie失踪。灾后处境艰难，作者却在母亲鼓励下从星空获得希望。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“风暴过去大约一周后，我们被熟悉的声音吵醒。”可知，第一段可描写作者辨认出是Smartie的叫声，最终找到它的过程，以及重逢时的喜悦。 ②由第二段首句内容“与Smartie的重逢提醒我们，我们可以重建家园。”可知，第二段可描写Smartie的归来让“我们”重拾信心，在他人帮助下开始重建生活的过程。 2. 续写线索：听见猫叫——找到Smartie——重逢喜悦——重拾信心——重建家园——Smartie成为精神象征 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①跳起来：jump up/spring up ②蜷缩：huddle/crouch/curl up ③看见：spot/catch sight of 情绪类 ①悲伤：sadness/sorrow ②喜悦：joy/delight 【点睛】[高分句型1] There, huddled among a tattered blanket, was Smartie!(运用了完全倒装句) [高分句型2] If Smartie could find his way back to us against all odds, surely we could piece our lives back together too.(运用了从属连词if引导的条件状语从句) [高分句型3] Every time I held Smartie in my arms while working, I felt a surge of strength.(运用了every time引导的时间状语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2024年秋期宜宾市普通高中学业质量监测 高二年级英语 （考试时间：120分钟 全卷满分：150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卡上。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 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?

Like many others, I wanted to make resolutions that would help me improve my life. I realized that simply hoping for change was not enough; I needed to take action. First, I decided to spend less time talking and more time doing. In the past year, my friends and I often wasted hours talking and chatting about unimportant things. With important exams coming up, I knew I had to focus on my studies. This year, I promised myself to prioritize my schoolwork and put in the effort needed to succeed. Next, I recognized that I needed to cut down on my screen time. I loved watching TV and browsing the internet, but I realized these activities took away valuable time I could spend studying. Instead of getting lost in shows or videos, I planned to dedicate more time to reading and reviewing my lessons. This way, I could stay on track with my studies and be better prepared for my exams. I also thought about my involvement in sports. While I enjoyed playing games with friends, I realized that my academic performance was more important. I decided to reduce my time spent on sports and focus more on my studies. I knew that doing well in school would have a greater impact on my future. Finally, I made sure to keep my resolutions simple and realistic. In the past, I often set too many goals and ended up feeling overwhelmed. This year, I focused on a few key resolutions that I could easily remember and stick to. As the New Year began, I felt hopeful and ready to take on the challenges ahead. I was determined to make this year one of action and achievement! 4. How did the author feel as the New Year was approaching? A. A lack of interest and passion. B. A mix of confusion and uncertainty. C. A sense of calmness and relaxation. D. A combination of enthusiasm and resolve. 5. What change did the author intend to make? A. Focusing on chatting with others. B. Ignoring schoolwork completely. C. Ranking schoolwork as more important. D. Spending equal time on all activities. 6. What can be concluded from the author? A. He would give up on his studies. B. He would get involved in various sports. C. He would increase more time spent watching television. D. He would shorten screen time and commit to academic goals. 7. Which of the following can best describe the author’s resolution this year? A. Complex. B. Reasonable. C. Unclear. D. Unrealistic. C What we define as beautiful depends on who sees it — the young or the old, through the Asian or Western eyes or the beauty experts. For example, the Kayan tribe in Southeast Asia considers women with long brass neck rings to be the most beautiful. The longer the neck rings, the more beautiful they are regarded. In many Asian cultures, having fair skin is seen as the ideal. In contrast, Hollywood stars like Angelina Jolie and Jessica Alba represent beauty in Western culture, admired for their smooth skin and attractive features. In the fashion industry, being slim is often linked to beauty. Many models are extremely thin, which can lead to serious health problems such as eating disorders. To tackle this issue, countries like Spain and Italy have banned models who are too thin from participating in fashion shows. This change aims to protect models’health and influence young people who look up to them. Youth is another quality often associated with beauty. This has led to an increase in cosmetic treatments, as many people seek quick ways to appear younger. Unfortunately, some individuals visit unlicensed practitioners for these treatments, which can be very dangerous for their health. However, focusing too much on outer beauty can cause us to overlook inner beauty. As Confucius said, “Everything has its beauty, but not everyone sees it.” For instance, Susan Boyle was judged by her appearance, but when she sang, everyone was amazed by her beautiful voice. This shows that true beauty comes from within. In conclusion, we should value inner beauty and understand that a person’s true worth is not only about their looks. By recognizing the importance of character and kindness, we can develop a better understanding of what beauty really means. 8. How do Kayan tribe women show their beauty? A. By wearing long hair. B. By having fair skin. C. By wearing brass neck rings. D. By having slim figures. 9. What can we infer about the effect of fashion models on young people? A. They mislead beauty standards. B. They promote healthy body images. C. They help young people accept their looks. D. They inspire young people to be confident. 10. What does the author aim to convey? A. Fashion models should always be thin. B. Beauty standards are the same everywhere. C. Youth is the most important part of beauty. D. Inner beauty matters much more than outer appearance. 11. What would be the best title for this passage? A The Leading Role of Beauty B. The True meaning of Beauty C. The Great Importance of Beauty D. The Profound Influence of Beauty D The development of computers has significantly changed the way people work, especially in the area of remote employment. Since the end of World War II, computers have evolved from large, mechanical machines to powerful, compact devices that fit in our homes and offices. This technological advancement has made it possible for many office tasks to be performed from home, allowing for greater flexibility and efficiency in the workplace. As a result, remote work has become increasingly popular among various professions, offering individuals the chance to balance their personal and professional lives more effectively. However, while remote work has its advantages, it also comes with several challenges. Some people enjoy the freedom that comes with working from home, but many thrive in social environments provided by traditional offices. The ability to interact with colleagues fosters teamwork and creativity, which are essential for success in many jobs. Additionally, when work and home life mix together, it can lead to stress and difficulties in maintaining a healthy work-life balance. This overlap makes it hard for individuals to separate their work responsibilities from their personal lives, which can negatively impact their well-being. As technology continues to improve, the trend of remote work is likely to grow. Many creative professionals, such as writers, designers, and artists, have long embraced the flexibility of working from home. With advancements in technology, more employees may have the opportunity to choose their work environment. However, it is important to remember that humans are social beings who often need interaction and a structured environment to perform at their best. Without these elements, some individuals may struggle to stay motivated and productive. In conclusion, while computers have made remote work feasible, it is essential to consider the social and psychological effects of this shift. The future of work may involve a combination of remote and in-office arrangements, allowing individuals to enjoy both flexibility and social engagement. Finding a balance between these aspects will be crucial for maintaining productivity and job satisfaction in the modern workplace. As we look ahead, it is important to recognize the value of both technology and personal connection in shaping our work experiences. 12. What can we infer from the second paragraph? A. Remote work is only popular in a few professions. B. Computers have only been used in offices since World War II. C. The evolution of computers has no influence on work flexibility. D. The development of computers contributes to the rise of remote work. 13. What is one of the challenges of remote work? A. It destroys the creativity of employees. B. It confuses the work with personal life. C. It causes employees to lose their freedom. D. It makes employees feel impossible to keep social ties. 14. Which is closest in meaning to “feasible” in paragraph 5? A. achievable. B. memorable. C. comfortable. D. changeable. 15. What is the author’s attitude towards the future of remote work? A. Strongly opposing. B. Highly skeptical. C. Cautiously optimistic. D.

It all happened so quickly. I was sitting in my room with my cat, Smartie, on my lap, when the roof just flow off. All of a sudden, there was sky where the roof had been. I was so frightened that I just froze. Mom tried to get out quickly, but it was already too late by then. The rain was coming down so hard and so fast. Our street turned into a river in seconds. We were going nowhere. At first, I was pleased we could stay at home, but soon it got really tough. Without a roof, staying inside was too dangerous. There was water everywhere, but we couldn’t drink any of it otherwise we’d get really sick. We just had drinking water that was sent to us by helicopter, but it was never enough. It was August, so it was really, really hot and it smelled so bad everywhere! I just spent the days watching the boats going up and down the street and looking out for Smartie. He had disappeared the moment the storm hit. Living in the open air, we became breakfast, lunch and dinner for the mosquitos. But Mom said that whatever happens, we should always try to see the good side of things. It was difficult to stay positive, though. We had lost our home and everything in it, including Smartie. All we had left were the clothes on our backs. But as Mom kept on reminding us, we were all together and safe. Mom’s words made us feel better. I remember us all lying under the midnight sky and looking up at the stars. Because there were no lights, we could see the Big Dipper, the Little Dipper and the Milky Way. It was amazing! Even though we had lost a lot, moments like those gave us hope for the future. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 About a week after the storm, we woke up to the familiar sound. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The reunion with Smartie was a reminder that we could rebuild our homes. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
