III.Reading Comprehension (共45分。 41-45每题1分；56-70每题2分) Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A. B.C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context Among the things I have not missed since entering middle age is the feeling of being an absolute beginner. It has been decades since I’ve sat in a classroom in a gathering cloud of 41 or sincerely tried, lesson after lesson, to acquire a skill that was clearly not destined (注定的) to play a large role in my life. Learning to ride a bicycle in my early thirties was a(n) 42 — a little embarrassing when my husband had to run alongside the bike, as you would with a child but ultimately rewarding. Less so was the time when a group of Japanese schoolchildren tried to teach me paper folding at a public event. I’ll never forget their quiet puzzlement as my clumsy fingers 43 yet another paper crane. Like Tom Vanderbilt, a journalist and the author of Beginners: The Joy and Transformative Power of Lifelong Learning, I learn new facts all the time but new skills 44 . Journalists regularly drop into 45 subcultures and domains (领域) of expertise, learning enough at least to ask the right questions. The distinction he draws between his energetic gathering of declarative knowledge, or knowing that, and his 46 attention to procedural knowledge, or knowing how, is familiar to me. The prospect of 47 myself as, say, a late-blooming skier or marathon runner sparks only an idle interest, something like 48 what it might be like to live in some small town down the road on the highway. There is certainly a way to see that 49 as something positive. If you love your job and find it intellectually and creatively fulfilling, you may not feel the urge to discover other rooms in the house of your mind, whatever 50 and missed opportunities may be lying there. But there are 51 forces at work, too. There’s the fear of being bad at something you think is worthwhile — and, even more so, being seen to be bad at it. What’s the point of starting something new when you know you’ll never be much good at it? Middle age brings greater emotional calm, an unremarkable advantage but a 52 . (The lows aren’t as low, the highs not as high.) Starting all over at something would put you right back into that emotional churn — excitement, self-doubt, but without renewable energy of youth. It might be fun, but it’s less likely to 53 your fate at forty or fifty. But isn’t that what makes lifelong learning so 54 ? As we fumble through (摸索着) new skills or ideas, we gain not just competence but modesty, empathy, and a renewed sense of curiosity. In that way, learning becomes less about mastery and more about 55 the ongoing process itself. 41．A．dissatisfaction B．incomprehension C．uncertainty D．distrust 42．A．routine B．exception C．reminder D．obstacle 43．A．completed B．abandoned C．fixed D．ruined 44．A．carefully B．fast C．seldom D．frequently 45．A．popular B．unfamiliar C．contemporary D．established 46．A．durable B．focused C．limited D．deliberate 47．A．reinventing B．declaring C．justifying D．marketing 48．A．wondering B．ignoring C．recognizing D．describing 49．A．curiosity B．pleasure C．anxiety D．reluctance 50．A．satisfied needs B．hidden talents C．trained skills D．buried memories 51．A．less happy B．more entertaining C．less intense D．more visible 52．A．fear B．relief C．burden D．challenge 53．A．observe B．transform C．predict D．control 54．A．confusing B．discouraging C．engaging D．demanding 55．A．redefining B．completing C．reversing D．embracing Section B Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. A The Shadow Library Berlin, 1942. The air was thick with fear. The city was choked by silence. The Nazi regime had extinguished dissent (分歧), while a quiet resistance was taking shape — not with weapons, but with words. Anna Keller, a former literature student at the University of Berlin, understood the power of books. The Nazis had declared war on free thought, reducing thousands of books to ashes in public bonfires, their flames reflecting the growing darkness of the era. After the first time Anna had witnessed such a fire of burning books, she made her decision: if the Nazis sought to erase knowledge, she would preserve it. With the help of her former professor, Herr Fischer, and a handful of like-minded intellectuals, they began to smuggle banned books into a forgotten wine cellar beneath an old bookshop. Its owner, a weary and arrogant man, had seen too many of his customers disappear in the dead of night. He understood the risks but handed Anna the key without hesitation. Shelves were packed with volumes deemed dangerous by the regime — works on philosophy, history, political theory, and poetry that spoke of liberty. The group called their refuge Die Schattenbibliothek — The Shadow Library. Every evening, they gathered to read and remember that another world had once existed — a world where ideas could flourish unchained. In that small space, whispered words became acts of rebellion. However, in a city where betrayal hid behind every corner, secrecy was fragile. One evening, as Anna left the bookstore, she noticed a man hanging around the street, his gaze lingering on her a moment too long. An informant, perhaps. The next day, a warning arrived — someone had reported “subversive (颠覆性的) activities” at the shop. Time was running out. That night they worked quickly. Books were smuggled out in baskets, hidden in attics, and buried beneath floorboards. By dawn, the cellar stood empty, except for dust and a lingering scent of ink. The Gestapo (纳粹秘密警察) arrived hours later. They tore through the shop, upturned shelves, interrogated Herr Fischer. But they found nothing in the shop and his answers. The books, the people, the ideas — they had slipped beyond the regime’s grasp, as words so often do. Forced into hiding, Anna carried only a single book with her — a collection of Goethe’s poetry. When the war had ended and the city lay in ruins, she returned to the place where the bookstore had once stood. It was gone, reduced to rubble by Allied bombs. However, in the wreckage of a broken world, she found hope. The war had sought to silence knowledge, but knowledge had endured. 56．Why did Anna build Die Schattenbibliothek? A．To protect banned books and secretly teach people how to resist the Nazi regime. B．To establish a secret library that preserves books and serves as a refuge for intellectual discussion. C．To provide a hiding place for intellectuals and organize armed rebellion against the regime. D．To collect banned books as evidence for future trials against the Nazis. 57．Why did the author mention the shop owner? A．To show that he was a contributor to the library in terms of the important shelter he provided. B．To emphasize the widespread support for the resistance movement from his previous customers in Berlin. C．To highlight the risks people were willing to take to preserve knowledge during the Nazi regime. D．To illustrate that the owner was an old acquaintance of Anna Keller and her group, which made the collaboration easier. 58．In the underlined sentence, what does “interrogated” most likely mean? A．Arrested. B．Inquired. C．Encountered. D．Attacked. 59．What is the main purpose of the passage? A．To demonstrate the inhumane acts of the Nazis and evoke readers’ anger towards the Nazi regime. B．To emphasize Anna’s heroic deeds, with the intention of inspiring readers to be brave in the face of adversity. C．To illustrate the impact of Nazi rule on free thought and highlight intellectual resistance. D．To analyze the historical context of Nazi's book-burning campaigns and discuss the impact on cultural development. B Is the Sun setting on solar?

A．an advertisement B．customer feedback C．a newly-issued policy D．a product description C States will be able to force more people to pay sales tax when they make online purchases under a Supreme Court decision Thursday that will leave shoppers with lighter wallets but is a big financial win for states. The Supreme Court’s opinion Thursday overruled a pair of decades-old decisions that states said cost them billions of dollars in lost revenue annually. The decisions made it more difficult for states to collect sales tax on certain online purchases. The cases the court overturned said that if a business was shipping a customer’s purchase to a state where the business didn’t have a physical presence such as a warehouse or office, the business didn’t have to collect sales tax for the state. Customers were generally responsible for paying the sales tax to the state themselves if they weren’t charged it, but most didn’t realize they owed it and few paid. Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote that the previous decisions were flawed. “Each year the physical presence rule becomes further removed from economic reality and results in significant revenue losses to the States,” he wrote in an opinion joined by four other justices. Kennedy wrote that the rule “limited States’ ability to seek long-term prosperity and has prevented market participants from competing on an even playing field.” The ruling is a victory for big chains with a presence in many states, since they usually collect sales tax on online purchases already. Now, rivals will be charging sales tax where they hadn’t before. Big chains have been collecting sales tax nationwide because they typically have physical stores in whatever state a purchase is being shipped to. Amazon.com, with its network of warehouses, also collects sales tax in every state that charges it, though third-party sellers who use the site don’t have to. Until now, many sellers that have a physical presence in only a single state or a few states have been able to avoid charging sales taxes when they ship to addresses outside those states. Sellers that use eBay and Etsy, which provide platforms for smaller sellers, also haven’t been collecting sales tax nationwide. Under the ruling Thursday, states can pass laws requiring out-of-state sellers to collect the state’s sales tax from customers and send it to the state. Retail trade groups praised the ruling, saying it levels the playing field for local and online businesses. The losers, said retail analyst Neil Saunders, are online-only retailers, especially smaller ones. Those retailers may face headaches complying with various state sales tax laws.

Footgolf: The Latest Craze Combining the popularity of golf with “beautiful game” of football, you get footgolf, an athletic marriage of football and golf. As its name suggests, this new game is a precision sport where players kick a soccer ball into a cup in as few shots as possible, just like in golf. 67 As a late starter, the Chinese team, however, was one of the spotlights in this year’s World Cup tournament held in Buenos Aires, Argentina from January 6 to 10. The attention comes about not because of the team’s performance but team member’s enthusiasm, perseverance and ambition. After its appearance on the world stage at Buenos Aires, China will host an Asia-Pacific event this summer when South Korea, Japan, Australia and New Zealand are expected to put out their strongest teams. 68 Many footgolf athletes have expressed their interest in coming to China for the game. The newly-crowned champion Christian Otero said he hopes to play at the well-known Mission Hills, which contains 20 golf courses and is regarded as the world’s largest golf club. 69 He took his own experience-falling in love with the sport after a match in Las Vegas-as an example to illustrate its appeal and hinted that footgolf could become a sport for all. Liu Mengyang, the only golf player in the Chinese team, agreed, expressing much optimism about the sport’s development in the country, saying that “You will become passionate if you play.” “ 70 ” said Liu. “But I think the former is more interesting and with a higher usage rate than the latter.” A．Footgolf is very much similar to golf in terms of rules and the courses we play on. B．Footgolf is the perfect way to help youngsters focus on their passing and shooting. C．Despite its worldwide popularity, footgolf is relatively unknown to the Chinese public. D．The American player Otero also noted that the country hosts games all the year round attracting big names. E．Moreover, France has offered an olive branch to China as it welcomes the national team for the French Tournament this May. F．He also suggested that China should host more events on both professional and amateur levels. IV.Summary Writing (共10分） Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point( s)of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. Endangered Species An endangered species is a group of animals that could soon become extinct. Extinction happens when the last of the species has died out and there will be no more. Many species are nearly extinct and could disappear off the face of the earth very soon if we don’t do anything to save them. There are many reasons why-species become endangered but most of them are due to humans. Habitat destruction is the main reason why animals become endangered and this happens in two ways. When humans move into a new area, the animals’ habitat is destroyed and there is nothing to eat because humans chop down trees and build houses and farms. Animal habitats are also destroyed because of pollution. Chemicals in rivers and poisons on farms cause the destruction of habitats and animals can no longer live there. Endangered species are also the result of hunting and fishing. Animals are killed for their fur, bones or skin, or just for sport (消遣). Some seal species are now on the verge of extinction because they are killed for their fur to make coats. Tigers are shot to make medicine and tea from their bones, and crocodiles are caught to make bags and shoes. Overfishing means that large sea creatures like whales, tuna and sharks have all become endangered species, because too many are caught to make things like shark’s fin soup. So what can individuals and governments do to protect animal and plant species from becoming endangered? We should take care not to pollute natural areas, and farmers or companies who destroy animal habitats should face a financial penalty (处罚). Governments can help, too, by making it against the law to hunt, fish or trade in endangered species. If we all cooperate by taking these steps, we will protect our planet so that our children and their children can enjoy it too. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ V.Translation (共15分。第1小题和第2小题,每题3分;第3题4分;第4题5分。) Directions:Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets 72．他刚回到家，墙上就出现了巨大裂缝，让他呆在原地。（barely）（汉译英） _____________________________________________________ 73．这座养老院充分展示了真正的尊重在于给予良好的照护而非提供豪华的设施。（illustrate）（汉译英） _____________________________________________________ 74．即使在千里之外，游子（wanderer）也能通过熟悉的食物获得慰藉，用家常滋味缓解思念。（relieve, whose）（汉译英） _____________________________________________________ 75．经历过人生的起起伏伏，这位长跑运动员终于明白，成功既需要日复一日的坚持，也需要关键时刻的战略性决策。（dawn）（汉译英） _____________________________________________________ VI.Guided Writing (共25分) 76．Directions: Write an English composition in 120-150 words according to the instructions given below in Chinese. 每个人的生活都不可能一帆风顺，都会或多或少遇到一些挫折。面对生活中的起起伏伏，你是怎么面对的？请你用英语写一篇文章，谈谈你经历过的一次挫折。你的文章必须包括以下内容： 描述你所经历过的一次挫折； 你当时的感受和面对挫折的态度； 你的反思。 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试题 第3页（共6页） 试题 第4页（共6页） 试题 第11页（共12页） 试题 第12页（共12页） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年高一下学期期中模拟卷01（上海卷） 英语 （考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：140分） 注意事项： 1．答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号等填写在答题卡和试卷指定位置上。 2．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3．考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 I.Listening Comprehension （第1-10题, 每题1分；第11-20题，每题1.5分；共25分） Section A Directions: In Section A, you will hear ten short conversations between two speakers.

Her work is considered critical to the early stages of the age of space travel. Ross showed special abilities in math and science from an early age. As a student, she developed an interest in aviation, the practice of flying aircraft. She went on to earn a master’s degree in mathematics from Colorado State Teachers College - now called the University of Northern Colorado. During World War II, Ross began working for the Lockheed Aircraft Corporation as a mathematician. There, she was urged to complete work in aircraft engineering. She earned a special certification in the field from the University of California - Los Angeles in 1949. Ross was later chosen to join Lockheed’s top-secret Skunk Works team that worked on aircraft designs. The name refers to a group that is permitted to work independently on advanced projects. She was the only female engineer among the team’s 40 members. Early on, she researched defense systems. By the late 1950s, her work centered on satellites and a series of space rockets called Agenda. The rockets were extremely important in the 1960s during the Apollo moon program. Ross retired from Lockheed in 1973. But she continued to give talks at high schools and colleges to encourage more women and Native Americans to study engineering. Mary Ross died in 2008, a few months before her 100th birthday. Questions: 11. In what major did Ross get her master’s degree? 12. How many female colleagues did Ross have when working in a Lockheed’s top-secret team? 13.

Scientists say the continents of South America and Africa separated millions of years ago. As this happened, they say, many kinds of dangerous animals and other life forms settled in the newly formed body of water off the coast of Angola. Today, scientists are studying ancient animal remains discovered on the Angolan coast. They knew there would be remains in the area, but “didn’t know how good they would be.” Jacobs and a team of scientists and students helped prepare the remains to be shown at the National Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C. He said visitors to the museum can see the similarity between the ancient and modern ocean environment and animals. Michael Polcyn, another researcher, says one ancient fish-eating animal had a long nose and teeth similar to that of a dolphin. He notes that visitors can see the remains of large, fierce animals, as well as gentler creatures like an ancient giant sea turtle. “We have a clear picture of this moment in time 72 million years ago that has preserved all of these animals that were living together in one place.” Scientists say a large rock from space hit the earth millions of years ago and killed most of the animals. Questions: 14. Where are scientists studying the ancient animal remains? 15. What does Jacobs do? 16. Why could scientists find so many ancient animal remains? 听下面一段较长对话，回答以下小题。 17．A．A saving account in a single name. B．A saving account in joint names. C．A checking account in a single name.

Learning to ride a bicycle in my early thirties was a(n) 42 — a little embarrassing when my husband had to run alongside the bike, as you would with a child but ultimately rewarding. Less so was the time when a group of Japanese schoolchildren tried to teach me paper folding at a public event. I’ll never forget their quiet puzzlement as my clumsy fingers 43 yet another paper crane. Like Tom Vanderbilt, a journalist and the author of Beginners: The Joy and Transformative Power of Lifelong Learning, I learn new facts all the time but new skills 44 . Journalists regularly drop into 45 subcultures and domains (领域) of expertise, learning enough at least to ask the right questions. The distinction he draws between his energetic gathering of declarative knowledge, or knowing that, and his 46 attention to procedural knowledge, or knowing how, is familiar to me. The prospect of 47 myself as, say, a late-blooming skier or marathon runner sparks only an idle interest, something like 48 what it might be like to live in some small town down the road on the highway. There is certainly a way to see that 49 as something positive. If you love your job and find it intellectually and creatively fulfilling, you may not feel the urge to discover other rooms in the house of your mind, whatever 50 and missed opportunities may be lying there. But there are 51 forces at work, too. There’s the fear of being bad at something you think is worthwhile — and, even more so, being seen to be bad at it. What’s the point of starting something new when you know you’ll never be much good at it? Middle age brings greater emotional calm, an unremarkable advantage but a 52 . (The lows aren’t as low, the highs not as high.) Starting all over at something would put you right back into that emotional churn — excitement, self-doubt, but without renewable energy of youth. It might be fun, but it’s less likely to 53 your fate at forty or fifty. But isn’t that what makes lifelong learning so 54 ? As we fumble through (摸索着) new skills or ideas, we gain not just competence but modesty, empathy, and a renewed sense of curiosity. In that way, learning becomes less about mastery and more about 55 the ongoing process itself. 41．A．dissatisfaction B．incomprehension C．uncertainty D．distrust 42．A．routine B．exception C．reminder D．obstacle 43．A．completed B．abandoned C．fixed D．ruined 44．A．carefully B．fast C．seldom D．frequently 45．A．popular B．unfamiliar C．contemporary D．established 46．A．durable B．focused C．limited D．deliberate 47．A．reinventing B．declaring C．justifying D．marketing 48．A．wondering B．ignoring C．recognizing D．describing 49．A．curiosity B．pleasure C．anxiety D．reluctance 50．A．satisfied needs B．hidden talents C．trained skills D．buried memories 51．A．less happy B．more entertaining C．less intense D．more visible 52．A．fear B．relief C．burden D．challenge 53．A．observe B．transform C．predict D．control 54．A．confusing B．discouraging C．engaging D．demanding 55．A．redefining B．completing C．reversing D．embracing 【答案】 41．B 42．B 43．D 44．C 45．B 46．C 47．A 48．A 49．D 50．B 51．A 52．B 53．B 54．C 55．D 【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章围绕中年人对学习新技能的心态展开，探讨了因害怕表现不佳、缺乏年轻时的精力而不愿重新开始的矛盾，同时肯定了终身学习在过程中带来的成长价值。 41．考查名词词义辨析。句意：我坐在教室里，周围笼罩着一圈圈困惑的云雾，或者一堂又一堂地真诚尝试学习一项显然不会在我生命中起重要作用的技能，这已经是几十年前的事了。A. dissatisfaction不满；B. incomprehension困惑；C. uncertainty不确定；D. distrust不信任。根据上文“absolute beginner”以及语境可知，这里指作者作为初学者在课堂上常因不懂而困惑。故选B项。 42．考查名词词义辨析。句意：三十出头学骑自行车是个例外 —— 当我丈夫不得不像你陪孩子一样在自行车旁跑时，有点尴尬，但最终很有收获。A. routine惯例；B. exception例外；C. reminder提醒；D. obstacle障碍。结合下文“I’ll never forget their quiet puzzlement as my clumsy fingers 　3　 yet another paper crane.”以及语境可知，作者中年学习很少掌握一些知识，而学骑车是中年时少有的成功尝试，属于例外。故选B项。 43．考查动词词义辨析。句意：我永远不会忘记他们安静的困惑，因为我笨拙的手指又毁了一只纸鹤。A. completed完成；B. abandoned放弃；C. fixed修理；D. ruined毁坏。根据上文“clumsy fingers”及“quiet puzzlement”可知，这里指作者的笨拙导致纸鹤被毁坏，让孩子们很困惑。故选D项。 44．考查副词词义辨析。句意：我一直在了解新的事实，但很少学习新技能。A. carefully仔细地；B. fast快速地；C. seldom很少；D. frequently频繁地。根据上文“I learn new facts all the time”以及but表示转折可知，这里指作者很少学会新技能。故选C项。 45．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：记者经常进入不熟悉的亚文化和专业领域，至少学到足够多的东西来提出正确的问题。A. popular流行的；B. unfamiliar不熟悉的；C. contemporary当代的；D. established资深的，知名的。根据下文“learning enough at least to ask the right questions”以及常识可知，记者的工作性质是要接触不熟悉的领域并需要不断学习。故选B项。 46．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：他在积极收集陈述性知识（知道是什么）和对程序性知识（知道如何做）的有限关注之间的区别，我很熟悉。A. durable持久的；B. focused专注的；C. limited有限的；D. deliberate故意的。根据上文“learning enough at least to ask questions”可知，记者对“知道如何做”的关注是有限的，所以还需要不断学习。故选C项。 47．考查动词词义辨析。句意：把自己重塑为大器晚成的滑雪者或马拉松选手的前景，只会激发一种闲散的兴趣，就像好奇住在高速公路旁某个小镇上会是什么样子。A. reinventing重塑；B. declaring宣布；C. justifying证明；D. marketing营销。根据下文“late-blooming skier”以及语境可知，这里指作者假设对自我形象重塑。故选A项。 48．考查动词词义辨析。句意：把自己重塑为大器晚成的滑雪者或马拉松选手的前景，只会激发一种闲散的兴趣，就像好奇住在高速公路旁某个小镇上会是什么样子。A. wondering好奇；B. ignoring忽视；C. recognizing认出；D. describing描述。根据上文“sparks only an idle interest”以及语境可知，idle interest对应“好奇”的心态，这里指就像好奇住在高速公路旁某个小镇上会是什么样子。故选A项。 49．考查名词词义辨析。句意：当然，有一种方式可以把这种不情愿视为积极的事情。A. curiosity好奇；B. pleasure快乐；C. anxiety焦虑；D. reluctance不情愿。根据上文“Among the things I have not missed since entering middle age is the feeling of being an absolute beginner”以及语境可知，作者不想念成为初学者的时刻，所以这里指作者对重新开始学习有不情愿。故选D项。 50．考查名词短语辨析。句意：无如果你热爱你的工作，并发现它在智力和创造性上都能满足你的需求，那么你可能就不会有发现自己内心其他空间的冲动，不管怎样隐藏的才华和错失的机会可能就在那里。A. satisfied needs满足了的需求；B. hidden talents隐藏的天赋；C. trained skills培训技能；D. buried memories埋藏的记忆。根据下文“missed opportunities”以及选项可知，与“missed opportunities” 并列的应是“隐藏的天赋”，这里指因为太满足于生活所以不会去发掘自己还有什么隐藏的天赋。故选B项。 51．考查形容词比较级辨析。句意：但也有不那么愉快的力量在起作用。A. less happy不那么愉快的；B. more entertaining更有趣的；C. less intense不那么强烈的；D. more visible更明显的。根据下文“the fear of being bad”以及语境可知，这是属于不愉快的因素。故选A项。 52．考查名词词义辨析。句意：中年带来了更大的情绪平静，这是一个不起眼的优势，但也是一种解脱。A. fear恐惧；B. relief解脱；C. burden负担；D. challenge挑战。根据上文“greater emotional calm”以及语境可知，emotional calm对应的是一种解脱感，因为无需像年轻时那样大起大落。故选B项。 53．考查动词词义辨析。句意：但在四五十岁时，它不太可能改变你的命运。A. observe观察；B. transform改变；C. predict预测；D. control控制。根据上文“It might be fun”以及but表示转折可知，这里指中年学习难以改变命运。故选B项。 54．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：但这不正是让终身学习如此吸引人的原因吗？A. confusing令人困惑的；B. discouraging令人沮丧的；C. engaging吸引人的；D. demanding要求高的。根据下文“we gain not just competence but modesty, empathy, and a renewed sense of curiosity”可知，终身学习是吸引人的。故选C项。 55．考查动词词义辨析。句意：学习不再是为了掌握，而是为了拥抱这个持续的过程本身。A. redefining重新定义；B. completing完成；C. reversing逆转；D. embracing拥抱。根据下文“ongoing process”以及语境可知，这里指我们应拥抱学习过程而非追求掌握一定知识。故选D项。 Section B Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. A The Shadow Library Berlin, 1942. The air was thick with fear. The city was choked by silence. The Nazi regime had extinguished dissent (分歧), while a quiet resistance was taking shape — not with weapons, but with words. Anna Keller, a former literature student at the University of Berlin, understood the power of books. The Nazis had declared war on free thought, reducing thousands of books to ashes in public bonfires, their flames reflecting the growing darkness of the era. After the first time Anna had witnessed such a fire of burning books, she made her decision: if the Nazis sought to erase knowledge, she would preserve it. With the help of her former professor, Herr Fischer, and a handful of like-minded intellectuals, they began to smuggle banned books into a forgotten wine cellar beneath an old bookshop. Its owner, a weary and arrogant man, had seen too many of his customers disappear in the dead of night. He understood the risks but handed Anna the key without hesitation. Shelves were packed with volumes deemed dangerous by the regime — works on philosophy, history, political theory, and poetry that spoke of liberty. The group called their refuge Die Schattenbibliothek — The Shadow Library. Every evening, they gathered to read and remember that another world had once existed — a world where ideas could flourish unchained. In that small space, whispered words became acts of rebellion. However, in a city where betrayal hid behind every corner, secrecy was fragile. One evening, as Anna left the bookstore, she noticed a man hanging around the street, his gaze lingering on her a moment too long. An informant, perhaps. The next day, a warning arrived — someone had reported “subversive (颠覆性的) activities” at the shop. Time was running out. That night they worked quickly. Books were smuggled out in baskets, hidden in attics, and buried beneath floorboards. By dawn, the cellar stood empty, except for dust and a lingering scent of ink. The Gestapo (纳粹秘密警察) arrived hours later. They tore through the shop, upturned shelves, interrogated Herr Fischer. But they found nothing in the shop and his answers. The books, the people, the ideas — they had slipped beyond the regime’s grasp, as words so often do. Forced into hiding, Anna carried only a single book with her — a collection of Goethe’s poetry. When the war had ended and the city lay in ruins, she returned to the place where the bookstore had once stood. It was gone, reduced to rubble by Allied bombs. However, in the wreckage of a broken world, she found hope. The war had sought to silence knowledge, but knowledge had endured. 56．Why did Anna build Die Schattenbibliothek? A．To protect banned books and secretly teach people how to resist the Nazi regime. B．To establish a secret library that preserves books and serves as a refuge for intellectual discussion. C．To provide a hiding place for intellectuals and organize armed rebellion against the regime. D．To collect banned books as evidence for future trials against the Nazis. 57．Why did the author mention the shop owner? A．To show that he was a contributor to the library in terms of the important shelter he provided. B．To emphasize the widespread support for the resistance movement from his previous customers in Berlin. C．To highlight the risks people were willing to take to preserve knowledge during the Nazi regime. D．To illustrate that the owner was an old acquaintance of Anna Keller and her group, which made the collaboration easier. 58．In the underlined sentence, what does “interrogated” most likely mean? A．Arrested. B．Inquired. C．Encountered. D．Attacked. 59．What is the main purpose of the passage? A．To demonstrate the inhumane acts of the Nazis and evoke readers’ anger towards the Nazi regime. B．To emphasize Anna’s heroic deeds, with the intention of inspiring readers to be brave in the face of adversity. C．To illustrate the impact of Nazi rule on free thought and highlight intellectual resistance. D．To analyze the historical context of Nazi's book-burning campaigns and discuss the impact on cultural development. 【答案】56．B 57．C 58．B 59．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了二战期间柏林的一个秘密图书馆——“影子图书馆”，以及安娜·凯勒和她的同伴们如何通过保存被禁书籍来抵抗纳粹政权的故事。 56．细节理解题。根据第三段“After the first time Anna had witnessed such a fire of burning books, she made her decision: if the Nazis sought to erase knowledge, she would preserve it. With the help of her former professor, Herr Fischer, and a handful of like-minded intellectuals, they began to smuggle banned books into a forgotten wine cellar beneath an old bookshop. Its owner, a weary and arrogant man, had seen too many of his customers disappear in the dead of night. He understood the risks but handed Anna the key without hesitation. Shelves were packed with volumes deemed dangerous by the regime — works on philosophy, history, political theory, and poetry that spoke of liberty. The group called their refuge Die Schattenbibliothek — The Shadow Library.(在安娜第一次目睹了这样的焚书大火后，她做出了决定：如果纳粹试图抹去知识，她就会保存它。在她以前的教授费希尔先生和一些志趣相投的知识分子的帮助下，他们开始把禁书偷运到一家老书店下面一个被人遗忘的酒窖里。它的老板是一个疲惫而傲慢的人，他看到太多的顾客在深夜凭空消失。他明白其中的风险，但毫不犹豫地把钥匙交给了安娜。书架上摆满了被政权视为危险的书籍——涉及哲学、历史、政治理论和诗歌的自由著作。该组织称他们的避难所为“影子图书馆”)”和第四段的句子“Every evening, they gathered to read and remember that another world had once existed — a world where ideas could flourish unchained.(每天晚上，他们聚在一起读书，回忆曾经存在过的另一个世界——一个思想可以不受束缚地蓬勃发展的世界)”可知，安娜创建“影子图书馆”的目的是为了保存被禁书籍，并为思想交流提供一个避难所。故选B项。 57．推理判断题。根据第三段的句子“With the help of her former professor, Herr Fischer, and a handful of like-minded intellectuals, they began to smuggle banned books into a forgotten wine cellar beneath an old bookshop. Its owner, a weary and arrogant man, had seen too many of his customers disappear in the dead of night. He understood the risks but handed Anna the key without hesitation.(在前任教授费舍尔先生和几位志同道合的知识分子协助下，他们开始将禁书偷运至一家老书店地下被遗忘的酒窖中。店主是个疲惫而倨傲的男人，早已目睹太多顾客在深夜里人间蒸发。他清楚其中风险，却毫不犹豫地将钥匙交给了安娜)”可推知，作者提到书店老板是为了突出人们在纳粹统治下为了保存知识所愿意承担的风险。故选C项。 58．词句猜测题。根据划线句子中的“The Gestapo (纳粹秘密警察) arrived hours later. They tore through the shop, upturned shelves(纳粹秘密警察破门而入。他们粗暴地搜查书店，掀翻书架)”和下文的“But they found nothing in the shop(但他们在书店里什么也没找到)”可知，纳粹秘密警察是来搜查东西的，所以他们肯定会审问在场的赫尔·费舍尔。由此可知，interrogated的意义为“讯问；审问”，与inquired意义一致。故选B项。 59．推理判断题。根据全文内容，特别是第二段的“The Nazis had declared war on free thought, reducing thousands of books to ashes in public bonfires, their flames reflecting the growing darkness of the era.(纳粹向自由思想宣战，在公共场所的篝火中将成千上万本书化为灰烬，熊熊的火焰反映出那个时代日益黑暗的一面)”和最后一段的“However, in the wreckage of a broken world, she found hope. The war had sought to silence knowledge, but knowledge had endured.(然而，在这个破碎世界的废墟中，她找到了希望。战争试图压制知识，但知识却经久不衰)”可知，文章的主要目的是通过讲述安娜和她的同伴们创建“影子图书馆”的故事，展示纳粹统治对自由思想的影响，并突出知识分子的抵抗。故选C项。 B Is the Sun setting on solar?

The Supreme Court’s opinion Thursday overruled a pair of decades-old decisions that states said cost them billions of dollars in lost revenue annually. The decisions made it more difficult for states to collect sales tax on certain online purchases. The cases the court overturned said that if a business was shipping a customer’s purchase to a state where the business didn’t have a physical presence such as a warehouse or office, the business didn’t have to collect sales tax for the state. Customers were generally responsible for paying the sales tax to the state themselves if they weren’t charged it, but most didn’t realize they owed it and few paid. Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote that the previous decisions were flawed. “Each year the physical presence rule becomes further removed from economic reality and results in significant revenue losses to the States,” he wrote in an opinion joined by four other justices. Kennedy wrote that the rule “limited States’ ability to seek long-term prosperity and has prevented market participants from competing on an even playing field.” The ruling is a victory for big chains with a presence in many states, since they usually collect sales tax on online purchases already. Now, rivals will be charging sales tax where they hadn’t before. Big chains have been collecting sales tax nationwide because they typically have physical stores in whatever state a purchase is being shipped to. Amazon.com, with its network of warehouses, also collects sales tax in every state that charges it, though third-party sellers who use the site don’t have to. Until now, many sellers that have a physical presence in only a single state or a few states have been able to avoid charging sales taxes when they ship to addresses outside those states. Sellers that use eBay and Etsy, which provide platforms for smaller sellers, also haven’t been collecting sales tax nationwide. Under the ruling Thursday, states can pass laws requiring out-of-state sellers to collect the state’s sales tax from customers and send it to the state. Retail trade groups praised the ruling, saying it levels the playing field for local and online businesses. The losers, said retail analyst Neil Saunders, are online-only retailers, especially smaller ones. Those retailers may face headaches complying with various state sales tax laws. The Small Business & Entrepreneurship Council advocacy group said in a statement, “Small businesses and internet entrepreneurs are not well served at all by this decision.” 63．The Supreme Court decision Thursday will ______. A．better businesses’ relations with states B．put most online businesses in a dilemma C．make more online shoppers pay sales tax D．force some states to cut sales tax 64．It can be learned from paragraphs 2 and 3 that the overruled decisions ______. A．have led to the dominance of e-commerce B．have cost consumers a lot over the years C．were widely criticized by online purchasers D．were considered unfavorable by states 65．According to Justice Anthony Kennedy, the physical presence rule has ______. A．hindered economic development B．brought prosperity to the country C．harmed fair market competition D．boosted growth in states revenue 66．In dealing with the Supreme Court decision Thursday, the author ______. A．gives a factual account of it and discusses its consequences B．describes the long and complicated process of its making C．presents its main points with conflicting views on them D．cites some cases related to it and analyzes their implications 【答案】63．C 64．D 65．C 66．A 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了美国最高法院一项允许各州对更多在线购物收取销售税的决定，分析了其背景、影响以及各方反应。 63．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“States will be able to force more people to pay sales tax when they make online purchases under a Supreme Court decision Thursday that will leave shoppers with lighter wallets but is a big financial win for states.(根据最高法院周四的一项裁决，各州将能够强制更多的人在网上购物时缴纳销售税，这将使购物者的钱包更轻，但对各州来说是一个巨大的财政胜利)”可知，最高法院周四的裁决将使更多网购者支付销售税。故选C。 64．推理判断题。根据第二段“The Supreme Court’s opinion Thursday overruled a pair of decades-old decisions that states said cost them billions of dollars in lost revenue annually.(最高法院星期四的意见推翻了两项已有数十年历史的裁决，各州表示，这两项裁决每年造成数十亿美元的收入损失)”以及第三段的“The cases the court overturned said that if a business was shipping a customer’s purchase to a state where the business didn’t have a physical presence such as a warehouse or office, the business didn’t have to collect sales tax for the state. Customers were generally responsible for paying the sales tax to the state themselves if they weren’t charged it, but most didn’t realize they owed it and few paid.(法院推翻的案件称，如果一家企业将客户的购买品运往一个没有实体存在的州，如仓库或办公室，则该企业不必为该州征收销售税。如果没有向客户收取销售税，他们通常有责任自己向州政府支付，但大多数客户没有意识到他们欠了这笔税，很少有人支付)”可知，被推翻的决定导致州政府每年损失数十亿美元的收入，由此可推知，推翻的案件被认为是不利于州政府的。故选D。 65．细节理解题。根据第四段的“Kennedy wrote that the rule “limited States’ ability to seek long-term prosperity and has prevented market participants from competing on an even playing field.”(肯尼迪写道，该规则“限制了各国寻求长期繁荣的能力，并阻止了市场参与者在公平的竞争环境中竞争。”)”可知，肯尼迪认为实体存在规则限制了州寻求长期繁荣的能力，并阻碍了市场参与者在公平竞争环境中的竞争，即妨碍了经济发展。故选C。 66．推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章首先陈述了最高法院的这一裁决及其对消费者和州政府的影响（即更多网购需缴纳销售税，州政府收入增加），然后在后续段落中讨论了该裁决对不同商家群体（如大型连锁店、纯在线零售商、小型企业）的可能影响，由此可推知，在处理最高法院星期四的裁决时，作者对其进行了真实的描述并讨论了其后果。故选A。 Section C Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need. Footgolf: The Latest Craze Combining the popularity of golf with “beautiful game” of football, you get footgolf, an athletic marriage of football and golf. As its name suggests, this new game is a precision sport where players kick a soccer ball into a cup in as few shots as possible, just like in golf. 67 As a late starter, the Chinese team, however, was one of the spotlights in this year’s World Cup tournament held in Buenos Aires, Argentina from January 6 to 10. The attention comes about not because of the team’s performance but team member’s enthusiasm, perseverance and ambition. After its appearance on the world stage at Buenos Aires, China will host an Asia-Pacific event this summer when South Korea, Japan, Australia and New Zealand are expected to put out their strongest teams. 68 Many footgolf athletes have expressed their interest in coming to China for the game. The newly-crowned champion Christian Otero said he hopes to play at the well-known Mission Hills, which contains 20 golf courses and is regarded as the world’s largest golf club. 69 He took his own experience-falling in love with the sport after a match in Las Vegas-as an example to illustrate its appeal and hinted that footgolf could become a sport for all. Liu Mengyang, the only golf player in the Chinese team, agreed, expressing much optimism about the sport’s development in the country, saying that “You will become passionate if you play.” “ 70 ” said Liu. “But I think the former is more interesting and with a higher usage rate than the latter.” A．Footgolf is very much similar to golf in terms of rules and the courses we play on. B．Footgolf is the perfect way to help youngsters focus on their passing and shooting. C．Despite its worldwide popularity, footgolf is relatively unknown to the Chinese public. D．The American player Otero also noted that the country hosts games all the year round attracting big names. E．Moreover, France has offered an olive branch to China as it welcomes the national team for the French Tournament this May.

Summarize the main idea and the main point( s)of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. Endangered Species An endangered species is a group of animals that could soon become extinct. Extinction happens when the last of the species has died out and there will be no more. Many species are nearly extinct and could disappear off the face of the earth very soon if we don’t do anything to save them. There are many reasons why-species become endangered but most of them are due to humans. Habitat destruction is the main reason why animals become endangered and this happens in two ways. When humans move into a new area, the animals’ habitat is destroyed and there is nothing to eat because humans chop down trees and build houses and farms. Animal habitats are also destroyed because of pollution. Chemicals in rivers and poisons on farms cause the destruction of habitats and animals can no longer live there. Endangered species are also the result of hunting and fishing. Animals are killed for their fur, bones or skin, or just for sport (消遣). Some seal species are now on the verge of extinction because they are killed for their fur to make coats. Tigers are shot to make medicine and tea from their bones, and crocodiles are caught to make bags and shoes. Overfishing means that large sea creatures like whales, tuna and sharks have all become endangered species, because too many are caught to make things like shark’s fin soup. So what can individuals and governments do to protect animal and plant species from becoming endangered? We should take care not to pollute natural areas, and farmers or companies who destroy animal habitats should face a financial penalty (处罚). Governments can help, too, by making it against the law to hunt, fish or trade in endangered species. If we all cooperate by taking these steps, we will protect our planet so that our children and their children can enjoy it too. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Animals soon to be extinct are called endangered species which are mainly caused by humans. The main reason is habitat destruction caused by humans moving into new areas and pollution. Another reason is hunting and fishing for animals’ fur, bones or skin, and sometimes sport. Individuals and governments should cooperate to protect habitat and ban hunting and fishing.

Micro dramas can better tell China stories Micro dramas, featuring smartphone-suited video clips lasting only a few minutes, are gaining popularity both in China and abroad. The micro dramas 21 (design) and developed for smartphone and tablet users who prefer quick and engaging content, becoming popular due to their novel plot turns and unique characters. 22 the production of micro dramas in a relatively short time has created welcome opportunities for new actors and directors in the film and TV industry, most of the dramas feature counterattacks (反击) by sons-in-law, lover couples, struggles in the harem (宫斗).

Enshi is blessed with a pleasant climate throughout the year, 31 in the mountains. Lush forests 32 the area, and the air is refreshing establishing it as a natural oxygen bar. The famous Qingjiang River winds through the city, 33 like a blue ribbon. Along the river, there are countless peculiarly-shaped peaks and magnificent gorges, such as the Qingjiang Gallery, which attracts numerous tourists with its breathtaking views. Enshi serves as a homeland for diverse ethnic minorities, with the Tujia and Miao ethnic groups being the most prominent. The Tujia people have a long-standing history and a rich tapestry of traditions. Their distinctive dance, the “Hand-waving Dance”, is full of vitality and 34 their enthusiasm for life. Their architectural style, represented by the stilt-houses, known as “Diaojiaolou”, is not only practical but also aesthetically pleasing, 35 harmoniously with the natural environment. These houses are 36 built on slopes or near water.

With its beautiful scenery, rich culture, and delicious food, Enshi is truly a shining gem in western Hubei, eagerly awaiting more people to discover and explore. III.Reading Comprehension (共45分。 41-45每题1分；56-70每题2分) Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A. B.C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context Among the things I have not missed since entering middle age is the feeling of being an absolute beginner. It has been decades since I’ve sat in a classroom in a gathering cloud of 41 or sincerely tried, lesson after lesson, to acquire a skill that was clearly not destined (注定的) to play a large role in my life. Learning to ride a bicycle in my early thirties was a(n) 42 — a little embarrassing when my husband had to run alongside the bike, as you would with a child but ultimately rewarding. Less so was the time when a group of Japanese schoolchildren tried to teach me paper folding at a public event. I’ll never forget their quiet puzzlement as my clumsy fingers 43 yet another paper crane. Like Tom Vanderbilt, a journalist and the author of Beginners: The Joy and Transformative Power of Lifelong Learning, I learn new facts all the time but new skills 44 . Journalists regularly drop into 45 subcultures and domains (领域) of expertise, learning enough at least to ask the right questions. The distinction he draws between his energetic gathering of declarative knowledge, or knowing that, and his 46 attention to procedural knowledge, or knowing how, is familiar to me. The prospect of 47 myself as, say, a late-blooming skier or marathon runner sparks only an idle interest, something like 48 what it might be like to live in some small town down the road on the highway. There is certainly a way to see that 49 as something positive. If you love your job and find it intellectually and creatively fulfilling, you may not feel the urge to discover other rooms in the house of your mind, whatever 50 and missed opportunities may be lying there. But there are 51 forces at work, too. There’s the fear of being bad at something you think is worthwhile — and, even more so, being seen to be bad at it. What’s the point of starting something new when you know you’ll never be much good at it? Middle age brings greater emotional calm, an unremarkable advantage but a 52 . (The lows aren’t as low, the highs not as high.) Starting all over at something would put you right back into that emotional churn — excitement, self-doubt, but without renewable energy of youth. It might be fun, but it’s less likely to 53 your fate at forty or fifty. But isn’t that what makes lifelong learning so 54 ? As we fumble through (摸索着) new skills or ideas, we gain not just competence but modesty, empathy, and a renewed sense of curiosity. In that way, learning becomes less about mastery and more about 55 the ongoing process itself. 41．A．dissatisfaction B．incomprehension C．uncertainty D．distrust 42．A．routine B．exception C．reminder D．obstacle 43．A．completed B．abandoned C．fixed D．ruined 44．A．carefully B．fast C．seldom D．frequently 45．A．popular B．unfamiliar C．contemporary D．established 46．A．durable B．focused C．limited D．deliberate 47．A．reinventing B．declaring C．justifying D．marketing 48．A．wondering B．ignoring C．recognizing D．describing 49．A．curiosity B．pleasure C．anxiety D．reluctance 50．A．satisfied needs B．hidden talents C．trained skills D．buried memories 51．A．less happy B．more entertaining C．less intense D．more visible 52．A．fear B．relief C．burden D．challenge 53．A．observe B．transform C．predict D．control 54．A．confusing B．discouraging C．engaging D．demanding 55．A．redefining B．completing C．reversing D．embracing Section B Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. A The Shadow Library Berlin, 1942. The air was thick with fear. The city was choked by silence. The Nazi regime had extinguished dissent (分歧), while a quiet resistance was taking shape — not with weapons, but with words. Anna Keller, a former literature student at the University of Berlin, understood the power of books. The Nazis had declared war on free thought, reducing thousands of books to ashes in public bonfires, their flames reflecting the growing darkness of the era. After the first time Anna had witnessed such a fire of burning books, she made her decision: if the Nazis sought to erase knowledge, she would preserve it. With the help of her former professor, Herr Fischer, and a handful of like-minded intellectuals, they began to smuggle banned books into a forgotten wine cellar beneath an old bookshop. Its owner, a weary and arrogant man, had seen too many of his customers disappear in the dead of night. He understood the risks but handed Anna the key without hesitation. Shelves were packed with volumes deemed dangerous by the regime — works on philosophy, history, political theory, and poetry that spoke of liberty. The group called their refuge Die Schattenbibliothek — The Shadow Library. Every evening, they gathered to read and remember that another world had once existed — a world where ideas could flourish unchained. In that small space, whispered words became acts of rebellion. However, in a city where betrayal hid behind every corner, secrecy was fragile. One evening, as Anna left the bookstore, she noticed a man hanging around the street, his gaze lingering on her a moment too long. An informant, perhaps. The next day, a warning arrived — someone had reported “subversive (颠覆性的) activities” at the shop. Time was running out. That night they worked quickly. Books were smuggled out in baskets, hidden in attics, and buried beneath floorboards. By dawn, the cellar stood empty, except for dust and a lingering scent of ink. The Gestapo (纳粹秘密警察) arrived hours later. They tore through the shop, upturned shelves, interrogated Herr Fischer. But they found nothing in the shop and his answers. The books, the people, the ideas — they had slipped beyond the regime’s grasp, as words so often do. Forced into hiding, Anna carried only a single book with her — a collection of Goethe’s poetry.

A．an advertisement B．customer feedback C．a newly-issued policy D．a product description C States will be able to force more people to pay sales tax when they make online purchases under a Supreme Court decision Thursday that will leave shoppers with lighter wallets but is a big financial win for states. The Supreme Court’s opinion Thursday overruled a pair of decades-old decisions that states said cost them billions of dollars in lost revenue annually. The decisions made it more difficult for states to collect sales tax on certain online purchases. The cases the court overturned said that if a business was shipping a customer’s purchase to a state where the business didn’t have a physical presence such as a warehouse or office, the business didn’t have to collect sales tax for the state. Customers were generally responsible for paying the sales tax to the state themselves if they weren’t charged it, but most didn’t realize they owed it and few paid. Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote that the previous decisions were flawed. “Each year the physical presence rule becomes further removed from economic reality and results in significant revenue losses to the States,” he wrote in an opinion joined by four other justices. Kennedy wrote that the rule “limited States’ ability to seek long-term prosperity and has prevented market participants from competing on an even playing field.” The ruling is a victory for big chains with a presence in many states, since they usually collect sales tax on online purchases already. Now, rivals will be charging sales tax where they hadn’t before. Big chains have been collecting sales tax nationwide because they typically have physical stores in whatever state a purchase is being shipped to. Amazon.com, with its network of warehouses, also collects sales tax in every state that charges it, though third-party sellers who use the site don’t have to. Until now, many sellers that have a physical presence in only a single state or a few states have been able to avoid charging sales taxes when they ship to addresses outside those states. Sellers that use eBay and Etsy, which provide platforms for smaller sellers, also haven’t been collecting sales tax nationwide. Under the ruling Thursday, states can pass laws requiring out-of-state sellers to collect the state’s sales tax from customers and send it to the state. Retail trade groups praised the ruling, saying it levels the playing field for local and online businesses. The losers, said retail analyst Neil Saunders, are online-only retailers, especially smaller ones. Those retailers may face headaches complying with various state sales tax laws. The Small Business & Entrepreneurship Council advocacy group said in a statement, “Small businesses and internet entrepreneurs are not well served at all by this decision.” 63．The Supreme Court decision Thursday will ______. A．better businesses’ relations with states B．put most online businesses in a dilemma C．make more online shoppers pay sales tax D．force some states to cut sales tax 64．It can be learned from paragraphs 2 and 3 that the overruled decisions ______.

Footgolf: The Latest Craze Combining the popularity of golf with “beautiful game” of football, you get footgolf, an athletic marriage of football and golf. As its name suggests, this new game is a precision sport where players kick a soccer ball into a cup in as few shots as possible, just like in golf. 67 As a late starter, the Chinese team, however, was one of the spotlights in this year’s World Cup tournament held in Buenos Aires, Argentina from January 6 to 10. The attention comes about not because of the team’s performance but team member’s enthusiasm, perseverance and ambition. After its appearance on the world stage at Buenos Aires, China will host an Asia-Pacific event this summer when South Korea, Japan, Australia and New Zealand are expected to put out their strongest teams. 68 Many footgolf athletes have expressed their interest in coming to China for the game. The newly-crowned champion Christian Otero said he hopes to play at the well-known Mission Hills, which contains 20 golf courses and is regarded as the world’s largest golf club. 69 He took his own experience-falling in love with the sport after a match in Las Vegas-as an example to illustrate its appeal and hinted that footgolf could become a sport for all. Liu Mengyang, the only golf player in the Chinese team, agreed, expressing much optimism about the sport’s development in the country, saying that “You will become passionate if you play.” “ 70 ” said Liu. “But I think the former is more interesting and with a higher usage rate than the latter.” A．Footgolf is very much similar to golf in terms of rules and the courses we play on. B．Footgolf is the perfect way to help youngsters focus on their passing and shooting. C．Despite its worldwide popularity, footgolf is relatively unknown to the Chinese public. D．The American player Otero also noted that the country hosts games all the year round attracting big names. E．Moreover, France has offered an olive branch to China as it welcomes the national team for the French Tournament this May. F．He also suggested that China should host more events on both professional and amateur levels. IV.Summary Writing (共10分） Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point( s)of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. Endangered Species An endangered species is a group of animals that could soon become extinct. Extinction happens when the last of the species has died out and there will be no more. Many species are nearly extinct and could disappear off the face of the earth very soon if we don’t do anything to save them. There are many reasons why-species become endangered but most of them are due to humans. Habitat destruction is the main reason why animals become endangered and this happens in two ways. When humans move into a new area, the animals’ habitat is destroyed and there is nothing to eat because humans chop down trees and build houses and farms. Animal habitats are also destroyed because of pollution. Chemicals in rivers and poisons on farms cause the destruction of habitats and animals can no longer live there. Endangered species are also the result of hunting and fishing. Animals are killed for their fur, bones or skin, or just for sport (消遣). Some seal species are now on the verge of extinction because they are killed for their fur to make coats. Tigers are shot to make medicine and tea from their bones, and crocodiles are caught to make bags and shoes. Overfishing means that large sea creatures like whales, tuna and sharks have all become endangered species, because too many are caught to make things like shark’s fin soup. So what can individuals and governments do to protect animal and plant species from becoming endangered? We should take care not to pollute natural areas, and farmers or companies who destroy animal habitats should face a financial penalty (处罚). Governments can help, too, by making it against the law to hunt, fish or trade in endangered species. If we all cooperate by taking these steps, we will protect our planet so that our children and their children can enjoy it too. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ V.Translation (共15分。第1小题和第2小题,每题3分;第3题4分;第4题5分。) Directions:Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets 72．他刚回到家，墙上就出现了巨大裂缝，让他呆在原地。（barely）（汉译英） _____________________________________________________ 73．这座养老院充分展示了真正的尊重在于给予良好的照护而非提供豪华的设施。（illustrate）（汉译英） _____________________________________________________ 74．即使在千里之外，游子（wanderer）也能通过熟悉的食物获得慰藉，用家常滋味缓解思念。（relieve, whose）（汉译英） _____________________________________________________ 75．经历过人生的起起伏伏，这位长跑运动员终于明白，成功既需要日复一日的坚持，也需要关键时刻的战略性决策。（dawn）（汉译英） _____________________________________________________ VI.Guided Writing (共25分) 76．Directions: Write an English composition in 120-150 words according to the instructions given below in Chinese. 每个人的生活都不可能一帆风顺，都会或多或少遇到一些挫折。面对生活中的起起伏伏，你是怎么面对的？请你用英语写一篇文章，谈谈你经历过的一次挫折。你的文章必须包括以下内容： 描述你所经历过的一次挫折； 你当时的感受和面对挫折的态度； 你的反思。 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1 / 12 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
