To preserve it, UNESCO safeguards hundreds of natural and cultural World Heritage sites around the world. Here are 4 World Heritage sites: Historic Centre of Rome Founded, according to legend, by Romulus and Remus in 753 BC, Rome was first the centre of the Roman Republic, then of the Roman Empire, and it became the capital of the Christian world in the 4th century. Ancient City of Damascus Founded in 3000 BC, Damascus is one of the oldest cities in the Middle East. In the Middle Ages, it was the centre of a splendid craft industry, specializing in swords. The city has some 125 monuments from different periods of its history. Old Havana Havana was founded in 1519 by the Spanish. By the 17th century, it had become one of the Caribbean’s main centres for ship-building. Although it is today a modern city, its old centre remains an interesting mix of Baroque and neoclassical (新古典主义的) monuments. Ancient City of Pingyao Pingyao, founded in the 14th century, shows the evolution of architectural styles and town planning in Imperial China over five centuries. Of special interest are the splendid buildings associated with banking, for which Pingyao was the major centre for the whole of China in the 19th and early 20th centuries. 1. Which of the following was last founded? A. Rome. B. Pingyao. C. Havana. D. Damascus. 2. What can we learn from the text? A. Havana became a modern city in the 16th century. B. Damascus was well-known for its craft industry. C. Pingyao was once the major centre for ships in China. D. Rome was founded by the Spanish. 3. In which section of a magazine can we read the text? A. Culture. B. Nature. C. Education. D. Environment. 【答案】1. C 2. B 3. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了世界上四处世界文化遗产的情况。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Historic Centre of Rome部分中“Founded, according to legend, by Romulus and Remus in 753 BC(据传说，罗马由罗穆卢斯和雷穆斯于公元前753年建立)”；Ancient City of Damascus部分中“Founded in 3000 BC, Damascus is one of the oldest cities in the Middle East.(大马士革建于公元前3000年，是中东最古老的城市之一)”；Old Havana部分中“Havana was founded in 1519 by the Spanish.(哈瓦那于1519年由西班牙人建立)”及Ancient City of Pingyao部分中“Pingyao, founded in the 14th century, shows the evolution of architectural styles and town planning in Imperial China over five centuries.(始建于14世纪的平遥，展现了五个世纪间中国古代王朝建筑风格与城市规划的演变历程)”可知，Havana是最晚建立的。故选C。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Ancient City of Damascus部分中“In the Middle Ages, it was the centre of a splendid craft industry, specializing in swords.(在中世纪，它是杰出的手工艺制作的中心，尤其是剑器)”可知，Damascus曾经因为手工艺制作产业而闻名。故选B。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Heritage is treasure from the past — what we live with today and what we pass on to future generations. To preserve it, UNESCO safeguards hundreds of natural and cultural World Heritage sites around the world.(遗产是往昔留存的瑰宝，是我们当下赖以存续的根基，亦是我们将传承给子孙后代的财富。为了保护人类共同遗产，联合国教科文组织对全球数百处自然与文化双重世界遗产地进行着保护)”可知，文章核心是介绍四处世界文化遗产，世界遗产属于文化范畴，因此最可能出现在杂志的文化版块。故选A。 B The first fortnight was tough - terrible pain and the rapid realization that running 200 marathons in 200 days would not be a walk in the park. But Steve James, a 65-year-old retired banker, has found his feet and reached the halfway mark — an average of 100 marathons in 100 days. “In those first two weeks I was thinking: ‘What have I done?’” James said. “I had horrible blisters (水泡) for the first 10 days. The gout (痛风) struck all of a sudden, but I took some medicine and it went away. Now I feel fine.” James’s progress along the coastlines of Great Britain is being tracked by experts from the University of Exeter, who are keen to find out the effects of such an extreme challenge on an older person. The challenge is to do, on average, a marathon every day. Some days, it might be a bit less; others a bit more. There is no set route. James has a plan but adapts and changes it. As for fuel, he is not following the sort of diet an exceptional athlete might adopt. He has cereal, bacon, cake and fish and chips for dinner, washed down with a couple of beers. “It’s all about routine, about getting up and leaving at the same time,” said James. “I love the physical challenge. I’m not especially talented at things, but I can keep going.” The Exeter researchers assessed James before his departure and he sends data daily for them to analyze. They are studying his calorie intake, oxygen levels and muscle measurements. He has lost about 10kg but the team has seen no ill-effects to his health. James, who is raising money for Cancer Research UK, passes the time by listening to music and is also learning Welsh. By the time he gets to Wales, he hopes to be able to order a beer in the language. He thinks the most difficult stretch physically will be the north coasts of Devon and Cornwall. “I’m kind of hoping that by then my body will be completely conditioned and I’ll be able to cope with that.” 4. What does paragraph 2 focus on? A. The difficulties James faced. B. James’s solution to challenges. C. James’s attitude to the running. D. The treatment James received. 5. What can be learned about James’s running plan? A. It features a strict diet. B. It is made by researchers. C. It is confirmed by other athletes. D. It changes based on circumstances. 6. What is James’s expectation for the journey ahead? A. To run all over Wales. B. To be physically adapted. C. To grow thinner and healthier. D. To raise money for cancer patients. 7. What message does the passage convey? A. Exercise shapes one’s character. B. Health begins where the feet move. C. Limits can be redefined at any age. D. Optimism unlocks human potential. 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文为记叙文，主要讲述了65岁的退休银行家Steve James 挑战200天完成200 场马拉松，起初遭遇诸多困难但逐渐适应，目前已完成一半赛程，埃克塞特大学的专家对其身体状况进行跟踪研究，他还为英国癌症研究中心筹款的故事。 【4题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第二段““In those first two weeks I was thinking: ‘What have I done?’” James said. “I had horrible blisters (水泡) for the first 10 days. The gout (痛风) struck all of a sudden, but I took some medicine and it went away. Now I feel fine.”(詹姆斯说：“头两周我一直在想：‘我这是干了什么？’头十天我身上起了很严重的水泡。痛风突然发作，但我吃了点药就好了。现在我感觉很好。”)”可推知，该段重点讲述了James在挑战初期遇到的各种困难。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“James has a plan but adapts and changes it.(James有一个计划，但会根据情况调整和改变)”可推知，James的跑步计划会根据实际情况做出改变。故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“I’m kind of hoping that by then my body will be completely conditioned and I’ll be able to cope with that.(我希望到那时我的身体能完全适应，并且能够应对挑战)”可推知，James对接下来的行程期望是身体能适应后续的跑步挑战。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章首段“But Steve James, a 65-year-old retired banker, has found his feet and reached the halfway mark — an average of 100 marathons in 100 days.(但65岁的退休银行家史蒂夫•詹姆斯已经站稳了脚跟，并达到了一半的目标——平均100天跑100场马拉松。)”以及全文讲述65岁的James完成极端马拉松挑战的内容可推知，文章传递的信息是任何年龄都可以重新定义自己的极限。故选C。 C The Underdog Effect is a phenomenon where people are more likely to support those who are regarded as disadvantaged or less likely to succeed. This doesn’t just happen in sports or competitions; it’s a deep-seated response that influences our behavior in many areas of life. At its core, the Underdog Effect is about rooting for those who are clearly at a huge disadvantage. Think of the classic tale of David and Goliath, where a young shepherd (牧羊人) defeats a giant warrior (武士) with nothing but simple weapons like a stone. This story has lasted for centuries, not just because of its dramatic narrative (叙事), but because it connects with something everyone feels: wanting the weak to defeat the strong. This effect is not limited to ancient tales. In modern times, we see it in movies, literature, and everyday life. Characters like Rocky Balboa, Harry Potter, and even companies like Apple in its early days, inspire us because they show the underdog spirit. We’re drawn to these stories because they reflect a struggle against hardship, and that struggle is something we can all relate to on some level. In a broader cultural context, the love for underdogs can be seen across different societies and eras. Whether it’s a small nation fighting for independence, a startup challenging a corporate giant, or an individual standing up against systemic injustice, the narrative of the underdog is universally engaging. It’s a proof to the human spirit’s resilience and the belief that, with enough determination, anyone can succeed despite the odds. While the Underdog Effect can inspire and unite us, it also has its downsides. Our support for the underdog, while often well-intentioned, can sometimes lead to unintended consequences and unrealistic expectations. Despite its potential limitations, the Underdog Effect can be a powerful tool when used thoughtfully and ethically. Whether you’re looking to motivate yourself, build a brand, or connect with others, understanding how to use this effect can help you achieve your goals while staying true to your values. 8. What can we learn about the Underdog Effect from the first paragraph? A. It mainly occurs in sports. B. It makes people support the strong. C. It affects people’s behavior in various fields. D. It is a newly discovered social phenomenon. 9. Why does the David and Goliath story last long? A. It has an exciting plot. B. It connects people’s feelings. C. It tells a shepherd’s life. D. It shows the power of weapons. 10. What does the underlined word “resilience” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Fairness. B. Width. C. Desire. D. Toughness. 11. What is the author’s overall view towards the Underdog Effect? A. It is an outdated and useless concept. B. It is a simple trick used in advertising. C. It has both positive and negative aspects. D. It is completely harmless and beneficial. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了劣势者效应的定义，即人们更倾向于支持处于劣势或不太可能成功的人这一现象，阐述了该效应的核心内涵、古今案例、跨文化普遍性，同时分析了其积极影响与潜在弊端，并指出合理且道德地运用该效应能成为有力工具。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The Underdog Effect is a phenomenon where people are more likely to support those who are regarded as disadvantaged or less likely to succeed. This doesn’t just happen in sports or competitions; it’s a deep-seated response that influences our behavior in many areas of life.(劣势者效应是指人们更倾向于支持那些被认为处于劣势或不太可能成功的人的一种现象。这不仅仅发生在体育或竞赛中；这是一种根深蒂固的反应，会影响我们生活中许多领域的行为)”可知，劣势者效应会影响人们多个领域的行为。故选C项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“This story has lasted for centuries, not just because of its dramatic narrative (叙事), but because it connects with something everyone feels: wanting the weak to defeat the strong.(这个故事流传了几个世纪，不仅因为它富有戏剧性的叙事，更因为它触动了每个人都有的一种感受：希望弱者战胜强者)”可知，大卫与歌利亚的故事能长久流传，核心原因是它能联结人们的情感。故选B项。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“It’s a proof to the human spirit’s resilience and the belief that, with enough determination, anyone can succeed despite the odds.(这证明了人类精神的resilience，也证明了这样一种信念：只要有足够的决心，任何人都能克服困难取得成功)”可知，后文“有决心克服困难取得成功”是对前文“人类精神特质”的解释，由此可猜测resilience意为“坚韧、韧性”，与toughness同义。故选D项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“While the Underdog Effect can inspire and unite us, it also has its downsides.(虽然劣势者效应能激励我们、团结我们，但它也有其弊端)”以及第六段中的“Despite its potential limitations, the Underdog Effect can be a powerful tool when used thoughtfully and ethically.(尽管存在潜在的局限性，但当合理且道德地运用时，劣势者效应可以成为一个有力的工具)”可知，作者认为劣势者效应既有积极方面（激励、团结人，可作为有力工具），也有消极方面（有弊端、潜在局限性），即兼具正反两面。故选C项。 D Under the autumn sky of Tuohula Xinjiang, golden rice stalks sway gently. Ayinigeer Tuoheti, a 28-year-old computer science graduate, wanders through the fields, checking the ripening crop. Her digital skills are bridging the divide between her family’s traditional rice business and the modern age. In 2020, Ayinigeer returned home to assist her father — who’d built a 1994 rice processing plant but his health weakened and struggled with business communications. She found the family’s work stuck in the backward reality: the ledger book, handwritten records, and carbon paper. She resolved to transform the business. First, she turned their small farmer cooperative into a company. Exploiting her computer background, she automated invoicing, inventory, and order processing, shifting all work to electronic systems. To secure high-quality rice, she partnered with over 120 households, who transferred the management rights of their land to her company. Her company provided seeds and training, bought harvests above market prices, and shared profits-boosting farmers’ incomes while ensuring premium raw materials. In 2023, she tried livestreaming on an electronic sales platform. With a smartphone, she presented viewers with local rice fields, processing plants, and family meals with their local products. The initial phase was tough, but local governments trained her in livestreaming skills. Their authenticity won audiences: daily orders grew from 12 to hundreds. Now, from March to September this year, they had 180,000 orders through livestreaming, with 7,000 on a single day—that’s nearly 35 tons of rice moving directly from their fields to households across China. The numbers tell the resulting. "In early 2024, influencers from across China were reaching out to us," she said. “They wanted to partner with us because our product had proven appealing.” The phenomenal success of Ayinigeer’s livestreaming, however, stems not just from technology, but Tuohula’s rice quality: Wensu’s temperature swings, selenium-rich soil, and Tianshan snowmelt water make it sweet and aromatic. Local farming is 98% mechanized, and a 1998 seed base (investing 1 million yuan yearly) develops high-quality varieties—including the seeds Ayinigeer uses. 12. What did Ayinigeer do first to improve the family business? A. She started livestreaming on Douyin. B. She modernized the operation system. C. She partnered with over 120 local households. D. She inspected crops personally. 13. Why could Ayinigeer’s sales model attract viewers? A. She offered very low rice prices. B. She used professional broadcasting equipment. C. She presented authentic rice production scenes. D. She accumulated many followers before livestreaming. 14. What can we infer about Tuohula’s rice? A. It is popular all over the world. B. Local natural conditions contributed to its popularity. C. It is only sold in southern Xinjiang. D. Its production cost is much lower than average. 15. Which is the most appropriate title? A. Digital Skills Revive Hometown Rice B. Livestreaming Makes Rice Famous C. Graduate Succeeds in Rice Business D. Quality Rice Boosts Agriculture 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了新疆托乎拉地区毕业生Ayinigeer用数字技术振兴家乡稻米产业的故事。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的句子“First, she turned their small farmer cooperative into a company. Exploiting her computer background, she automated invoicing, inventory, and order processing, shifting all work to electronic systems. (首先，她将小型农民合作社转变为公司。利用计算机背景，她实现了发票、库存和订单处理的自动化，将所有工作转移到电子系统。)”可知，她首先做的是“使运营系统现代化”。故选B项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段的句子“With a smartphone, she presented viewers with local rice fields, processing plants, and family meals with their local products. The initial phase was tough, but local governments trained her in livestreaming skills. Their authenticity won audience: daily orders grew from 12 to hundreds. (她用智能手机向观众展示了当地的稻田、加工厂，以及用当地产品烹制的家庭大餐。最初的阶段很艰难，但当地政府培训了她的直播技能。他们的真实性赢得了观众：每天的订单从12个增加到数百个。)”可知，吸引观众的原因是“呈现真实的稻米生产场景”。故选C项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的句子“The phenomenal success of Ayinigeer’s livestreaming, however, stems not just from technology, but Tuohula’s rice quality: Wensu’s temperature swings, selenium-rich soil, and Tianshan snowmelt water make it sweet and aromatic. (然而，Ayinigeer直播的巨大成功不仅源于技术，还源于托乎拉的稻米品质：温宿的温差、富硒土壤和天山融雪水使其香甜可口。)”可推断，当地自然条件促成了稻米的受欢迎。故选B项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。文章核心是Ayinigeer运用数字技能 (自动化系统、直播销售) 让传统稻米产业焕发新生，A项“Digital Skills Revive Hometown Rice (数字技能振兴家乡稻米)”准确概括了技术与产业复苏的关系，最符合主旨。故选A项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2. 5分, 满分12. 5分） 阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Many teens have chatted with AI chatbots, which can be helpful. However, this technology isn’t designed for youngsters, and problems can arise if no proper guidance is provided. ____16____ Value your own voice. ____17____ You should feel proud to make your unique voice heard. A chatbot may act like a person but it doesn’t have feelings or lived experience. Yet those are important things that make us human. You should ask yourself whether you really want help from something that can’t actually know your feelings. ____18____ Robots can’t understand you and your problems the way a real friend or doctor can. When you need help, feel confident to seek out real people. “You should get real answers from people that actually know you,” says Linda Charmaraman, who directs the Youth, Media & Wellbeing research lab at Wellesley College. Avoid empty praise. A true friend will call you out when you do something wrong, which helps you learn and grow. But chatbots love to shower praise. They’ll agree with almost anything you say. ____19____ However, if you rely on chatbots for help in social situations, you may fail to learn it when you’ve made a mistake. Beware of made-up facts. Honest people say “I don’t know” when they are unsure, but AI rarely does so. ____20____ These false responses can cause trouble. Remember: something sounding smart doesn’t mean it’s true. If you use bot-generated content, you’re responsible for it. A. Consult real people for tips. B. Assess solutions from chatbots. C. Here are key tips for talking to AI chatbots. D. Bots tend to confidently answer every question. E. But it is necessary to learn how to use AI chatbots. F. You have experiences, ideas and feelings that matter. G. This tendency is helpful if you need a confidence boost. 【答案】16. C 17. F 18. A 19. G 20. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章针对青少年与AI聊天机器人交流的现象，指出该技术并非为年轻人设计，缺乏适当指导可能引发问题，进而给出了“重视自身声音、咨询真人建议、避免空洞表扬、警惕虚假信息”四大核心建议。 【16题详解】 根据上文“However, this technology isn’t designed for youngsters, and problems can arise if no proper guidance is provided.(然而，这项技术并非为青少年设计的，如果缺乏适当的指导，就可能会出现各种问题)”及下文各段首句“Value your own voice.(重视自己的声音)”、“Avoid empty praise.(避免空洞的表扬)”等可知，上文提出“缺乏指导会有问题”的痛点，下文紧接着给出具体建议，设空处需起到“引出建议”的过渡作用。C选项“以下是与AI聊天机器人交流的关键建议”中的“key tips”直接呼应下文的四条具体指导，“talking to AI chatbots”衔接上文话题，完美承接“缺乏指导→提供指导”的逻辑，形成语义闭环。故选C项。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Value your own voice.(重视自己的声音)”及下文“You should feel proud to make your unique voice heard. A chatbot may act like a person but it doesn’t have feelings or lived experience.(你应该为自己能够发出自己独特的声音而感到自豪。虽然聊天机器人可能表现得像人一样，但它没有情感和生活经历)”可知，上文提出“重视自身声音”的观点，下文强调“独特性”和“人类的情感与经历”，设空处需补充“自身声音有价值”的具体依据。F选项“你拥有重要的经历、想法和情感”中的“experiences, ideas and feelings”既呼应下文“feelings or lived experience”，又解释了“为何要重视自身声音”——因为这些是你独有的、有价值的东西，与“unique voice”形成逻辑呼应。故选F项。 【18题详解】 根据下文“Robots can’t understand you and your problems the way a real friend or doctor can. When you need help, feel confident to seek out real people.(机器人无法像真正的朋友或医生那样理解你以及你的问题。当你需要帮助时，要勇于去寻求真正的人来帮忙)”可知，该段核心是“建议找真人求助”，设空处需作为段落主题句，概括核心观点。A选项“向真人咨询建议”直接点明段落主旨，“Consult real people”与下文“seek out real people”、“get real answers from people”形成关键词对应，明确该段的核心建议方向，符合主题句的功能。故选A项。 【19题详解】 根据上文“But chatbots love to shower praise. They’ll agree with almost anything you say.(但聊天机器人特别喜欢给予赞美。它们几乎会认同你所说的任何内容)”及下文“However, if you rely on chatbots for help in social situations, you may fail to learn it when you’ve made a mistake.(然而，如果在社交场合你依赖聊天机器人来寻求帮助，那么一旦你犯了错误，你就无法从中吸取教训了)”可知，上文描述聊天机器人 “爱表扬”的特点，下文通过“however”转折指出其弊端，设空处需先说明该特点的正面作用，形成“优点→转折→弊端”的逻辑。G选项“如果你需要提升自信，这种倾向会很有帮助”中的“This tendency”指代上文“shower praise, agree with almost anything”，“helpful”体现其正面价值，与下文“however”后的弊端形成对比，使逻辑更完整。故选G项。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Honest people say “I don’t know” when they are unsure, but AI rarely does so.(诚实的人在不确定时会说“我不知道”，但人工智能却很少会这样做)”及下文“These false responses can cause trouble.(这些虚假的回应可能会带来麻烦)”可知，上文指出AI“很少说不知道”的特点，下文提到“虚假回应”，设空处需补充AI“不确定时的具体做法”，即“虚假回应”的具体表现。D选项“聊天机器人倾向于自信地回答每个问题”承接上文，说明AI即使不确定也会“自信回答”，这正是下文“false responses”的来源，形成“AI的做法→虚假回应→引发麻烦”的逻辑链。故选D项。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Being an ambivert (中向性格者), I live in a constant push-and-pull between social enjoyment and the need for solitude (独处).

Or too little?” This inner noise often left me trapped on the shores of small talk, ____22____ admiring those who socialize with ease. Then, I set a simple yet brave goal: to offer one ____23____ praise to a stranger each day. Praising someone is a great icebreaker when you don’t know what else to say, which ____24____ lifts my spirits. If I noticed someone wearing something great, I’d say it was cute and ask for details.

To my surprise, these little words acted as keys — ____26____ not just smiles, but moments of true ____27____. I realized I had been ____28____ alone behind walls I built myself. Over time, this practice ____29____ into something deeper. Like sunlight ____30____ through clouds, a kind word can ____31____ a whole day — both for the giver and the receiver.

The air was crisp, the leaves were turning golden, and the students were buzzing with excitement. After weeks of studying and exams, everyone welcomed the chance to enjoy nature and relax outdoors. Among the students were four close friends: Leo, Eric, Jason, and Alice. Though their personalities were quite different, they made a great team. Alice, the only girl in the group, was smart and well-prepared. She had brought along a compass, a map, and even a first-aid kit. After arriving at the campsite, the students pitched their tents, gathered firewood, and helped prepare a simple meal. The campsite was surrounded by tall pine trees, and in the distance, a mountain stream could be heard. The teachers reminded everyone to stay within the marked area and never go off-trail alone. After lunch, the students were allowed to explore in small groups. Leo’s group decided to follow a trail leading up a hill. According to Alice, there was a small lookout point that offered a beautiful view of the valley. As they walked, Jason kept running ahead, calling the others to hurry. “Let’s see what’s up there!” he shouted. Alice followed closely behind, holding the map. Leo walked at a steady pace, checking that no one fell behind. Eric lagged at the end, clearly nervous about being so deep in the forest. The path became narrower as they climbed. Birds chirped in the trees, and dry leaves crunched under their shoes. The sunlight filtered through the branches above, casting dancing shadows on the ground. After about an hour, they reached the edge of a rocky area covered in leaves. The trail began to twist more than expected, and many landmarks they passed didn’t match what was on the map. “I think the viewpoint is just beyond this slope (斜坡),” Jason said, pointing excitedly. Leo looked uncertain. “Let’s be careful. It looks slippery.” But before anyone could stop him, Jason had already climbed ahead. 注意： 1．所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Just as he reached the top of the slope, his foot slipped. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With the first aid finished, they realized a new challenge: how to get back. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Just as he reached the top of the slope, his foot slipped. Jason lost his balance and fell down the rocky slope, rolling over and over until he finally came to a stop at the bottom. The others gasped in horror. Alice quickly rushed down to him, checking for injuries. “Jason, are you okay?” she asked, her voice trembling. Leo and Eric followed closely behind, their faces pale with worry. Fortunately, Jason seemed to have only suffered a few scrapes and bruises, but he was clearly in pain and couldn’t stand up on his own. With the first aid finished, they realized a new challenge: how to get back. The slope was too steep and slippery for Jason to climb up alone. “We need to find a safer way,” Leo said, looking around. They noticed a narrow path that seemed to lead back to the main trail, which was a relief. Eric volunteered to stay with Jason while Alice and Leo went ahead to explore the path. “Don’t worry,” Alice reassured Jason, “we’ll come back for you soon.” After what seemed like ages, they returned and guided everyone safely back to the campsite, where the teachers were waiting anxiously. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。Leo、Eric、Jason和Alice四人结伴登山，Jason不顾劝阻爬上斜坡后滑倒受伤，众人进行急救后，又面临如何返回营地的新挑战。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“就在他到达坡顶时，他的脚滑倒了。”可知，第一段可以描写Jason滑倒后众人的反应，Alice的急救措施，以及Jason的伤势情况，展现紧张氛围。 ②由第二段句首内容“急救结束后，他们意识到了一个新的挑战：如何回去。”可知，第二段可以描写众人面对返回难题时的思考与行动，包括发现新路径、分工合作，以及最终安全返回营地，与老师会合，体现团队合作与解决问题的过程。 2.续写线索：Jason滑倒受伤——众人急救并担忧——发现返回难题——寻找安全路径——分工合作探索——安全返回营地 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①检查：check/examine ②猛冲：rush/dash ③四处张望：look around/glance around 情绪类 ①惊恐地：in horror/in fear ②担心：worry/be concerned/feel anxious 【点睛】【高分句型1】They noticed a narrow path that seemed to lead back to the main trail, which was a relief. （运用了that引导的限制性定语从句以及which引导的非限制性定语从句） 【高分句型2】After what seemed like ages, they returned and guided everyone safely back to the campsite, where the teachers were waiting anxiously. （运用了what引导的宾语从句以及where引导的非限制性定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 安岳中学高2024级第四学期半期考试 英 语 试 题 考试时间：120分钟；满分：150分； 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段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。 1.

To preserve it, UNESCO safeguards hundreds of natural and cultural World Heritage sites around the world. Here are 4 World Heritage sites: Historic Centre of Rome Founded, according to legend, by Romulus and Remus in 753 BC, Rome was first the centre of the Roman Republic, then of the Roman Empire, and it became the capital of the Christian world in the 4th century. Ancient City of Damascus Founded in 3000 BC, Damascus is one of the oldest cities in the Middle East. In the Middle Ages, it was the centre of a splendid craft industry, specializing in swords. The city has some 125 monuments from different periods of its history. Old Havana Havana was founded in 1519 by the Spanish. By the 17th century, it had become one of the Caribbean’s main centres for ship-building. Although it is today a modern city, its old centre remains an interesting mix of Baroque and neoclassical (新古典主义的) monuments. Ancient City of Pingyao Pingyao, founded in the 14th century, shows the evolution of architectural styles and town planning in Imperial China over five centuries. Of special interest are the splendid buildings associated with banking, for which Pingyao was the major centre for the whole of China in the 19th and early 20th centuries. 1. Which of the following was last founded? A. Rome. B. Pingyao. C. Havana. D. Damascus. 2. What can we learn from the text? A. Havana became a modern city in the 16th century. B. Damascus was well-known for its craft industry. C. Pingyao was once the major centre for ships in China. D. Rome was founded by the Spanish. 3. In which section of a magazine can we read the text? A. Culture. B. Nature. C. Education. D. Environment. B The first fortnight was tough - terrible pain and the rapid realization that running 200 marathons in 200 days would not be a walk in the park. But Steve James, a 65-year-old retired banker, has found his feet and reached the halfway mark — an average of 100 marathons in 100 days. “In those first two weeks I was thinking: ‘What have I done?’” James said. “I had horrible blisters (水泡) for the first 10 days. The gout (痛风) struck all of a sudden, but I took some medicine and it went away. Now I feel fine.” James’s progress along the coastlines of Great Britain is being tracked by experts from the University of Exeter, who are keen to find out the effects of such an extreme challenge on an older person. The challenge is to do, on average, a marathon every day. Some days, it might be a bit less; others a bit more. There is no set route. James has a plan but adapts and changes it. As for fuel, he is not following the sort of diet an exceptional athlete might adopt. He has cereal, bacon, cake and fish and chips for dinner, washed down with a couple of beers. “It’s all about routine, about getting up and leaving at the same time,” said James. “I love the physical challenge. I’m not especially talented at things, but I can keep going.” The Exeter researchers assessed James before his departure and he sends data daily for them to analyze. They are studying his calorie intake, oxygen levels and muscle measurements. He has lost about 10kg but the team has seen no ill-effects to his health. James, who is raising money for Cancer Research UK, passes the time by listening to music and is also learning Welsh. By the time he gets to Wales, he hopes to be able to order a beer in the language. He thinks the most difficult stretch physically will be the north coasts of Devon and Cornwall. “I’m kind of hoping that by then my body will be completely conditioned and I’ll be able to cope with that.” 4. What does paragraph 2 focus on? A. The difficulties James faced. B. James’s solution to challenges. C. James’s attitude to the running. D. The treatment James received. 5. What can be learned about James’s running plan? A. It features a strict diet. B. It is made by researchers. C. It is confirmed by other athletes. D. It changes based on circumstances. 6. What is James’s expectation for the journey ahead? A. To run all over Wales. B. To be physically adapted. C. To grow thinner and healthier. D. To raise money for cancer patients. 7. What message does the passage convey? A. Exercise shapes one’s character. B. Health begins where the feet move. C. Limits can be redefined at any age. D. Optimism unlocks human potential. C The Underdog Effect is a phenomenon where people are more likely to support those who are regarded as disadvantaged or less likely to succeed. This doesn’t just happen in sports or competitions; it’s a deep-seated response that influences our behavior in many areas of life. At its core, the Underdog Effect is about rooting for those who are clearly at a huge disadvantage. Think of the classic tale of David and Goliath, where a young shepherd (牧羊人) defeats a giant warrior (武士) with nothing but simple weapons like a stone. This story has lasted for centuries, not just because of its dramatic narrative (叙事), but because it connects with something everyone feels: wanting the weak to defeat the strong. This effect is not limited to ancient tales. In modern times, we see it in movies, literature, and everyday life. Characters like Rocky Balboa, Harry Potter, and even companies like Apple in its early days, inspire us because they show the underdog spirit. We’re drawn to these stories because they reflect a struggle against hardship, and that struggle is something we can all relate to on some level. In a broader cultural context, the love for underdogs can be seen across different societies and eras. Whether it’s a small nation fighting for independence, a startup challenging a corporate giant, or an individual standing up against systemic injustice, the narrative of the underdog is universally engaging. It’s a proof to the human spirit’s resilience and the belief that, with enough determination, anyone can succeed despite the odds. While the Underdog Effect can inspire and unite us, it also has its downsides. Our support for the underdog, while often well-intentioned, can sometimes lead to unintended consequences and unrealistic expectations. Despite its potential limitations, the Underdog Effect can be a powerful tool when used thoughtfully and ethically. Whether you’re looking to motivate yourself, build a brand, or connect with others, understanding how to use this effect can help you achieve your goals while staying true to your values. 8. What can we learn about the Underdog Effect from the first paragraph? A. It mainly occurs in sports. B. It makes people support the strong. C. It affects people’s behavior in various fields. D. It is a newly discovered social phenomenon. 9. Why does the David and Goliath story last long? A. It has an exciting plot. B. It connects people’s feelings. C. It tells a shepherd’s life. D. It shows the power of weapons. 10. What does the underlined word “resilience” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Fairness. B. Width. C. Desire. D. Toughness. 11. What is the author’s overall view towards the Underdog Effect? A. It is an outdated and useless concept. B. It is a simple trick used in advertising. C. It has both positive and negative aspects. D. It is completely harmless and beneficial. D Under the autumn sky of Tuohula Xinjiang, golden rice stalks sway gently. Ayinigeer Tuoheti, a 28-year-old computer science graduate, wanders through the fields, checking the ripening crop. Her digital skills are bridging the divide between her family’s traditional rice business and the modern age. In 2020, Ayinigeer returned home to assist her father — who’d built a 1994 rice processing plant but his health weakened and struggled with business communications. She found the family’s work stuck in the backward reality: the ledger book, handwritten records, and carbon paper. She resolved to transform the business. First, she turned their small farmer cooperative into a company. Exploiting her computer background, she automated invoicing, inventory, and order processing, shifting all work to electronic systems. To secure high-quality rice, she partnered with over 120 households, who transferred the management rights of their land to her company. Her company provided seeds and training, bought harvests above market prices, and shared profits-boosting farmers’ incomes while ensuring premium raw materials. In 2023, she tried livestreaming on an electronic sales platform. With a smartphone, she presented viewers with local rice fields, processing plants, and family meals with their local products. The initial phase was tough, but local governments trained her in livestreaming skills. Their authenticity won audiences: daily orders grew from 12 to hundreds. Now, from March to September this year, they had 180,000 orders through livestreaming, with 7,000 on a single day—that’s nearly 35 tons of rice moving directly from their fields to households across China. The numbers tell the resulting. "In early 2024, influencers from across China were reaching out to us," she said. “They wanted to partner with us because our product had proven appealing.” The phenomenal success of Ayinigeer’s livestreaming, however, stems not just from technology, but Tuohula’s rice quality: Wensu’s temperature swings, selenium-rich soil, and Tianshan snowmelt water make it sweet and aromatic.

The air was crisp, the leaves were turning golden, and the students were buzzing with excitement. After weeks of studying and exams, everyone welcomed the chance to enjoy nature and relax outdoors. Among the students were four close friends: Leo, Eric, Jason, and Alice. Though their personalities were quite different, they made a great team. Alice, the only girl in the group, was smart and well-prepared. She had brought along a compass, a map, and even a first-aid kit. After arriving at the campsite, the students pitched their tents, gathered firewood, and helped prepare a simple meal. The campsite was surrounded by tall pine trees, and in the distance, a mountain stream could be heard. The teachers reminded everyone to stay within the marked area and never go off-trail alone. After lunch, the students were allowed to explore in small groups. Leo’s group decided to follow a trail leading up a hill. According to Alice, there was a small lookout point that offered a beautiful view of the valley. As they walked, Jason kept running ahead, calling the others to hurry. “Let’s see what’s up there!” he shouted. Alice followed closely behind, holding the map. Leo walked at a steady pace, checking that no one fell behind. Eric lagged at the end, clearly nervous about being so deep in the forest. The path became narrower as they climbed. Birds chirped in the trees, and dry leaves crunched under their shoes. The sunlight filtered through the branches above, casting dancing shadows on the ground. After about an hour, they reached the edge of a rocky area covered in leaves. The trail began to twist more than expected, and many landmarks they passed didn’t match what was on the map. “I think the viewpoint is just beyond this slope (斜坡),” Jason said, pointing excitedly. Leo looked uncertain. “Let’s be careful. It looks slippery.” But before anyone could stop him, Jason had already climbed ahead. 注意： 1．所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Just as he reached the top of the slope, his foot slipped. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With the first aid finished, they realized a new challenge: how to get back. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
