When I was young I wanted to be a model, so when a national contest was staged, I convinced my parents to take me for an audition (试演). I was selected and told I had potential. They said that for only $900 I could attend a weekend event which dozens of the most prestigious (有声望的) modeling agencies from around the world would attend. At 13, my hopes of fame and fortune clouded all judgment and I begged my parents to let me go. We have never been rich, but they saw my enthusiasm and agreed. I imagined being signed by some famous model companies. For months, any boredom or disappointment was pushed aside because I knew I would soon have the chance to be a real model. I thought I would grace the covers of famous magazines! Of course, I wasn’t signed, but what hurt me most was being told that if I grew to 5’9” (about 1.75 metres) I could be a success. I prayed for a growth spurt (冲刺) because I could not imagine giving up my dream. I made an appointment with a local modeling agency and the agent demanded $ 500 for classes, $500 for a photo shoot, and $ 300 for other expenses. My parents only agreed after hours and hours of me begging. The agency sent me out on a few auditions, but with every day I didn’t receive a call I grew more depressed. The final straw came in July after I had decided to focus on commercial (广告) modeling. There was an open call in New York City. We spent hours driving and another few hours waiting, only to be told that I was too short I was devastated (感到难以承受的). Years later Ire zed that the trip to New York was good as it made me notice I didn’t actually love modeling, just the idea of it. I wanted to be special and I was innocently determined to reach an impossible goal. The experience has made me stronger and that will help me in the future. 41.

What did the author learn from her experience of struggling to be a model? A. Where there’s a will there’s away. B. Being a model is not that easy. C. We should have our own judgment and should not just follow others. D. We might set unpractical goals but the experiences can help us grow. In modern society, the concept of beauty is often a topic of heated discussion. From fashion magazines filled with images of models with flawless skin and perfect figures to the countless beauty - related products on the market, external beauty seems to be highly emphasized. However, a closer look reveals that true beauty encompasses more than just what meets the eye. In ancient Greek philosophy, beauty was considered a virtue. The Greeks believed that a person’s inner qualities should match their outward appearance. Socrates, a wise philosopher, was an example of this. Despite his plain looks, he was highly respected for his wisdom, courage, and noble character. His teachings often focused on the contradictions between inner and outer beauty, reminding his followers that true value lies within. Christianity, to some extent, changed the perception of beauty. It placed moral virtue at the center, making beauty seem more like a shallow and alienating temptation. This led to a separation between inner and outer beauty in people’s minds, with inner beauty being associated with moral qualities and outer beauty being seen as more about physical appearance. In our daily lives, we can observe the differences between inner and outer beauty. A person with a beautiful face may not necessarily have a kind heart. For instance, someone who is always well - dressed and physically attractive but is arrogant and unkind in conversations will quickly lose their charm in others’ eyes. On the other hand, a person with a warm smile, a kind word, and a helpful nature is often regarded as beautiful, regardless of their physical features. Inner beauty, such as kindness, compassion, and intelligence, is enduring. It is not affected by age or external factors. A kind - hearted person will always be remembered and admured for their good deeds, while physical beauty fades over time. Moreover, inner beauty can also influence a person’s external appearance. A positive and optimistic attitude can make a person glow from within, adding a unique charm to their look. However, this doesn’t mean that external beauty is completely unimportant. Maintaining a neat appearance, dressing appropriately, and taking care of one’s health can boost self-confidence and make a good first impression. But it should be balanced with the cultivation of inner beauty. 46. According to the passage, in ancient Greek philosophy, what was the relationship between inner and outer beauty? A. Inner beauty was more important than outer beauty. B. Outer beauty was more emphasized than inner beauty. C. "Inner and outer beauty were expected to match. D. There was no connection between inner and outer beauty. 47. What impact did Christianity have on the perception of beauty? A. It made beauty more important in people’s lives. B. It emphasized the unity of inner and outer beauty. C. It separated inner beauty from outer beauty and made beauty seem like a shallow temptation. D. It had no significant impact on the understanding of beauty. 48. Why is inner beauty considered more enduring? A. Because it is not influenced by time or external factors. B. Because it is easier to maintain than outer beauty C. Because people with inner beauty always look young. D. Because inner beauty can be seen directly. 49. What does the example of a well - dressed but arrogant person illustrate? A. External beauty is the most important factor. B. Inner beauty is necessary to maintain one’s charm. C. Arrogance is a sign of inner beauty. D. Good physical appearance can cover up bad qualities. 50. What is the author’s attitude towards the relationship between inner and outer beauty? A. Only inner beauty matters, and outer beauty can be ignored. B. Outer beauty is much more important than inner beauty. C. Both inner and outer beauty are important and should be balanced. D. Inner beauty and outer beauty are completely unrelated. 第二部分：写作(共两节，满分35分) 第一节 阅读表达(共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 My name is Clara. I still remember that chilly December day, sitting in science class. I’d finished a worksheet early and picked up a Time for Kids magazine. A piece of news caught my eye. NASA was holding an essay contest to name its Mars rover (火星探测器). Before I even knew anything else about it, a single word flooded my 11-year-old mind: Curiosity. I couldn’t wait for the bell to ring so I could get started on my essay. That afternoon, I raced home, sat down at the computer, and typed until my fingers ached. “Curiosity is an everlasting flame that burns in everyone’s mind…” Five months later, my mom received a phone call, and immediately, a wide smile spread across her face. On August 5, 2012, at 10:31 p.m., the rover named Curiosity touched down safely on the surface of Mars, and I was honored to have a front-row seat in NASA. Curiosity is such an important part of who I am. I have always been fascinated by the stars, the planets, the sky and the universe. I remember as a little girl, my grandmother and I would sit together in the backyard for hours. She’d tell me stories and point out the stars. Grandma lived in China, thousands of miles away from my home in Kansas, but the stars kept us together even when we were apart. They were always there, yet there was so much I didn’t know about them. That’s what I love so much about space. People often ask me why we go to faraway places like Mars. My answer is simple because we’re curious. We human beings do not just hole up in one place. We are constantly wondering and trying to find out what’s over the hill and beyond the horizon. 51. How did Clara get the news about the essay contest? (no more than 10 words) 52. Why did Clara have a front-row seat in NASA? (no more than 10 words) 53. What does Clara remember about the time spent with Grandma? (no more than 15 words) 54. What does the underlined phrase “hole up” mean? (1 word) 55. In your opinion, why is curiosity important?

At 13, my hopes of fame and fortune clouded all judgment and I begged my parents to let me go. We have never been rich, but they saw my enthusiasm and agreed. I imagined being signed by some famous model companies. For months, any boredom or disappointment was pushed aside because I knew I would soon have the chance to be a real model. I thought I would grace the covers of famous magazines! Of course, I wasn’t signed, but what hurt me most was being told that if I grew to 5’9” (about 1.75 metres) I could be a success. I prayed for a growth spurt (冲刺) because I could not imagine giving up my dream. I made an appointment with a local modeling agency and the agent demanded $ 500 for classes, $500 for a photo shoot, and $ 300 for other expenses. My parents only agreed after hours and hours of me begging. The agency sent me out on a few auditions, but with every day I didn’t receive a call I grew more depressed. The final straw came in July after I had decided to focus on commercial (广告) modeling. There was an open call in New York City. We spent hours driving and another few hours waiting, only to be told that I was too short I was devastated (感到难以承受的). Years later Ire zed that the trip to New York was good as it made me notice I didn’t actually love modeling, just the idea of it. I wanted to be special and I was innocently determined to reach an impossible goal. The experience has made me stronger and that will help me in the future. 41.

From fashion magazines filled with images of models with flawless skin and perfect figures to the countless beauty - related products on the market, external beauty seems to be highly emphasized. However, a closer look reveals that true beauty encompasses more than just what meets the eye. In ancient Greek philosophy, beauty was considered a virtue. The Greeks believed that a person’s inner qualities should match their outward appearance. Socrates, a wise philosopher, was an example of this. Despite his plain looks, he was highly respected for his wisdom, courage, and noble character. His teachings often focused on the contradictions between inner and outer beauty, reminding his followers that true value lies within. Christianity, to some extent, changed the perception of beauty. It placed moral virtue at the center, making beauty seem more like a shallow and alienating temptation. This led to a separation between inner and outer beauty in people’s minds, with inner beauty being associated with moral qualities and outer beauty being seen as more about physical appearance. In our daily lives, we can observe the differences between inner and outer beauty. A person with a beautiful face may not necessarily have a kind heart. For instance, someone who is always well - dressed and physically attractive but is arrogant and unkind in conversations will quickly lose their charm in others’ eyes. On the other hand, a person with a warm smile, a kind word, and a helpful nature is often regarded as beautiful, regardless of their physical features. Inner beauty, such as kindness, compassion, and intelligence, is enduring. It is not affected by age or external factors. A kind - hearted person will always be remembered and admured for their good deeds, while physical beauty fades over time. Moreover, inner beauty can also influence a person’s external appearance. A positive and optimistic attitude can make a person glow from within, adding a unique charm to their look. However, this doesn’t mean that external beauty is completely unimportant. Maintaining a neat appearance, dressing appropriately, and taking care of one’s health can boost self-confidence and make a good first impression. But it should be balanced with the cultivation of inner beauty. 46. According to the passage, in ancient Greek philosophy, what was the relationship between inner and outer beauty? A. Inner beauty was more important than outer beauty. B. Outer beauty was more emphasized than inner beauty. C. "Inner and outer beauty were expected to match. D. There was no connection between inner and outer beauty. 47. What impact did Christianity have on the perception of beauty? A. It made beauty more important in people’s lives. B. It emphasized the unity of inner and outer beauty. C. It separated inner beauty from outer beauty and made beauty seem like a shallow temptation. D. It had no significant impact on the understanding of beauty. 48. Why is inner beauty considered more enduring? A. Because it is not influenced by time or external factors. B. Because it is easier to maintain than outer beauty C. Because people with inner beauty always look young. D. Because inner beauty can be seen directly. 49. What does the example of a well - dressed but arrogant person illustrate? A. External beauty is the most important factor. B. Inner beauty is necessary to maintain one’s charm. C. Arrogance is a sign of inner beauty. D. Good physical appearance can cover up bad qualities. 50. What is the author’s attitude towards the relationship between inner and outer beauty? A. Only inner beauty matters, and outer beauty can be ignored. B. Outer beauty is much more important than inner beauty. C. Both inner and outer beauty are important and should be balanced. D. Inner beauty and outer beauty are completely unrelated. 【答案】46. C 47. C 48. A 49. B 50. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述真正的美是内在与外在的平衡，内在美更持久。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The Greeks believed that a person’s inner qualities should match their outward appearance. (希腊人认为一个人的内在品质应该与其外表相匹配。)”可知，在古希腊哲学中，内在美和外在美应该相匹配。故选C。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“It placed moral virtue at the center, making beauty seem more like a shallow and alienating temptation. (它把道德美德放在中心，使美看起来更像是一种肤浅和疏远的诱惑。)”可知，基督教把内在美和外在美分开，使美看起来像一种肤浅的诱惑。故选C。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“It is not affected by age or external factors. (它不受年龄或外部因素的影响。)”可知，内在美不受时间或外部因素的影响，所以被认为更持久。故选A。 【49题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“For instance, someone who is always well - dressed and physically attractive but is arrogant and unkind in conversations will quickly lose their charm in others’ eyes. On the other hand, a person with a warm smile, a kind word, and a helpful nature is often regarded as beautiful, regardless of their physical features. (例如，某人总是穿着得体，外表迷人，但在谈话中傲慢无情，很快就会在别人眼中失去魅力。另一方面，一个拥有温暖的微笑，友善的话语和乐于助人的天性的人通常被认为是美丽的，不管他们的身体特征如何。)”可知，第四段举例说明 外表美丽但傲慢的人会失去魅力，而 善良的人即使外貌普通仍被视为美丽，强调内在美的重要性。故选B。 【50题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“However, this doesn’t mean that external beauty is completely unimportant. Maintaining a neat appearance, dressing appropriately, and taking care of one’s health can boost self-confidence and make a good first impression. But it should be balanced with the cultivation of inner beauty. (然而，这并不意味着外在美是完全不重要的。保持整洁的外表，穿着得体，注意健康可以增强自信，给人留下良好的第一印象。但它应该与内在美的培养相平衡。)”可知，作者认为外在美重要，因为能提升自信，但需与内在美平衡。故选C。 第二部分：写作(共两节，满分35分) 第一节 阅读表达(共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 My name is Clara. I still remember that chilly December day, sitting in science class. I’d finished a worksheet early and picked up a Time for Kids magazine. A piece of news caught my eye. NASA was holding an essay contest to name its Mars rover (火星探测器). Before I even knew anything else about it, a single word flooded my 11-year-old mind: Curiosity. I couldn’t wait for the bell to ring so I could get started on my essay. That afternoon, I raced home, sat down at the computer, and typed until my fingers ached. “Curiosity is an everlasting flame that burns in everyone’s mind…” Five months later, my mom received a phone call, and immediately, a wide smile spread across her face. On August 5, 2012, at 10:31 p.m., the rover named Curiosity touched down safely on the surface of Mars, and I was honored to have a front-row seat in NASA. Curiosity is such an important part of who I am. I have always been fascinated by the stars, the planets, the sky and the universe. I remember as a little girl, my grandmother and I would sit together in the backyard for hours. She’d tell me stories and point out the stars. Grandma lived in China, thousands of miles away from my home in Kansas, but the stars kept us together even when we were apart. They were always there, yet there was so much I didn’t know about them. That’s what I love so much about space. People often ask me why we go to faraway places like Mars. My answer is simple because we’re curious. We human beings do not just hole up in one place. We are constantly wondering and trying to find out what’s over the hill and beyond the horizon. 51. How did Clara get the news about the essay contest? (no more than 10 words) 52. Why did Clara have a front-row seat in NASA? (no more than 10 words) 53. What does Clara remember about the time spent with Grandma? (no more than 15 words) 54. What does the underlined phrase “hole up” mean? (1 word) 55. In your opinion, why is curiosity important? (no more than 20 words) 【答案】51. By reading a Time for Kids magazine. Or: From a Time for Kids magazine 52. She won the essay contest held by NASA. Or: She named the Mars rover “Curiosity”. Or: “Curiosity” was chosen as the name of the Mars rover. 53. She sat together with Grandma listening to her stories about stars. Or: Her grandma told her stories about stars. Or: They sat together talking about stars. 54. Stay/Remain/Live/Hide 55. Curiosity is important because it leads to discovery or inventions. Or: With curiosity, we keep asking questions and exploring the world unknown. Or: Curiosity drives us through our lives so that we never stop wondering about the things beyond our knowledge. 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。短文通过克拉拉所提出的“好奇号”被选为火星探测器的名字。告诉人们好奇心的重要性。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“I’d finished a worksheet early and picked up a Time for Kids magazine.

Or: From a Time for Kids magazine. 【52题详解】 细节理解题。根据“On August 5, 2012, at 10:31 p.m., the rover named Curiosity touched down safely on the surface of Mars, and I was honored to have a front-row seat in NASA.”可知，2012年8月5日晚上10点31分，名为“好奇”号的火星车安全降落在火星表面，我很荣幸能在美国宇航局获得前排座位。由此可知，为什么克拉拉在美国宇航局获得前排座位是因为她在美国宇航局举办的论文竞赛中获胜。故答案为：She won the essay contest held by NASA. Or: She named the Mars rover “Curiosity”. Or: “Curiosity” was chosen as the name of the Mars rover. 【53题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“I remember as a little girl, my grandmother and I would sit together in the backyard for hours.

My answer is simple because we’re curious. We human beings do not just hole up in one place. We are constantly wondering and trying to find out what’s over the hill and beyond the horizon.”可知，人们经常问我为什么要去火星这样遥远的地方。我的答案很简单，因为我们都很好奇。我们人类不会躲在一个地方。我们不断地在想，并试图找出山那边、地平线那边是什么。由此判断出，为什么好奇心是如此的重要是因为怀着好奇心，我们不断地问问题，探索未知的世界。故答案为：Curiosity is important because it leads to discovery or inventions.
