It's still ______. A. up in the air. B. between the lines C. to the point D. over the moon 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查习惯表达。句意：——这个寒假你打算做一份兼职工作吗？——我还没下定决心。这件事还没决定。A. up in the air.悬而未定；B. between the lines言外之意；C. to the point 切题；D. over the moon欣喜若狂。根据“I haven't made up my mind.”可知，整件事情还悬而未定。故选A。 2. Ten thousand dollars ________ quite a large sum. Not only he but also you ________ to give careful consideration whether to buy it or not. A. are; has B. are; have C. is; have D. is; has 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查主谓一致。句意：一万美元是相当大的一笔钱。不仅他，你也需要仔细考虑要不要买它。分析句子结构可知，第一空中，表示金额、时间、距离的复数名词作主语时，通常视为一个整体，谓语动词用单数形式。本句中“Ten thousand dollars”是一笔钱的总量，因此用is；第二空中，not only...but also... 连接两个主语时，谓语动词遵循就近原则，即与靠近的主语保持一致。本句中靠近谓语的主语是you，因此用have。综上，C 项符合语法规则与语境。故选C项。 3. ______ he became seriously ill in 1998, the famous writer had been carrying out comparative studies of classical Chinese texts. A. Since B. When C. Although D. Until 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】考查连词辨析。句意：这位著名作家在1998年身患重病之前，一直从事中国古典文献的比较研究。A. Since自从；因为；B. When当……时；C. Although尽管；D. Until直到（表示动作持续到某一时间点为止）。根据“had been carrying out（过去完成进行时，表示动作持续到过去某一时间）”及“became seriously ill（患病）”可知，动作“从事研究”持续到“1998年患病”时终止，需用“Until”引导时间状语，表示“直到……为止”，强调研究持续到患病那一刻。故选D项。 4. Sometimes advertisements make it possible for companies to sell the customer money cannot buy. A. what B. which C. that D. whether 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查宾语从句。句意：有时，广告使公司向顾客出售金钱买不到的东西成为可能。分析句子可知，空处引导宾语从句，从句中缺少“buy”的宾语，指物，没有选择范围，故应用“what”引导从句。故选A项。 5. —What happened to you and Anna? Why did she ? —She thought I gave away her secret that she failed the math exam. A. refuse to back down B. give you the cold shoulder C. have green fingers D. laugh her head off 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查谚语辨析。句意：——你和安娜怎么了？她为什么冷落你？——她以为我泄露了她数学考试不及格的秘密。A. refuse to back down拒绝后退；B. give you the cold shoulder冷落你；C. have green fingers擅长园艺；D. laugh her head off笑掉大牙。由“She thought I gave away her secret that she failed the math exam”可知，空格处所在句子表示“她为什么冷落你”，因此空格处是give you the cold shoulder，故选B。 6. There’s no reason to be disappointed. ______, this could be rather amusing. A. Above all B. As a result C. In addition D. As a matter of fact 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】考查短语辨析。句意：没有理由感到失望，实际上，这件事可能是很好笑的。A.Above all首要的是；B.As a result因此；C.In addition另外；D.As a matter of fact事实上。根据句意，表示实际上。故选D。 7.

Fortunately，a friend _____ and he gave me a lift. A. was just passing B. had just passed C. would just pass D. has just passed 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查时态。句意：——既然你的车昨天在路上坏掉了，你赶上回家的火车没？——我刚好错过了最后一列。幸运的是，一个朋友刚好路过，他顺路捎了我。结合语境可知，此处表达“我”在无助的时候“朋友刚好经过”，故用进行时，又事情发生在过去，所以用过去进行时，主语a friend是第三人称单数，故用was passing, 故选A项。 9. The European members are afraid that the new deal will upset the _______ balance of political interests. A. ambitious B. arbitrary C. delicate D. compulsory 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查形容词辨析。句意：欧洲成员们担心这个新的交易会打破脆弱的政治利益的平衡。A. ambitious雄心的；有抱负的； B. arbitrary随意的，专制的； C. delicate脆弱的； D. compulsory强制的；义务的； 根据句意可知C项正确。 10. The earthquake is believed ________ more than 5,000 people and made thousands homeless, ________ it perhaps the most destroying earthquake in history in the area. A. killing; to make B. to have killed; having made C. to have killed; making D. having killed; making 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：此次地震据信已造成超过 5000 人死亡，数千人无家可归，这或许使其成为该地区历史上破坏力最强的一次地震。句子第一个空格处使用了固定句型“sb./sth. is believed to do sth.(某人/某物被认为做了某事)”，不定式的不同时态形式可以体现动作的时间关系。kill这个动作发生在is believed之前，且已经完成，因此用不定式的完成式to have killed，表示动作先于主句动作发生。逗号后面的部分是结果状语，用来补充说明地震造成的后果，因此需要一个非谓语动词作状语。句子的主语是The earthquake与动词make之间是主动关系，因此用现在分词形式making作结果状语，表示自然的结果。 11. The final score of the basketball match was 93-94. We were only _________ beaten. A. nearly B. slightly C. lightly D. narrowly 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：这场篮球赛的最终比分是93比94。我们仅以微弱差距惜败。A. nearly几乎；B. slightly轻微地；C. lightly轻轻地；D. narrowly勉强地、以微弱差距。根据比分93-94可知，队伍是以微弱差距输掉比赛，narrowly符合语境。 12. — You burned your face and arms. —Yes, I in the shade like all the other tourists at noon. A. should be B. must have been C. must be D. should have been 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】考查“情态动词+have done”的用法。句意：——你的脸和胳膊都晒伤了。——是的，我应该像其他游客一样在中午的时候待在阴凉处。分析句子且根据句意可知，空处是在表示“过去本该做某事（而实际上未做）”，站在现在的角度上评说过去的事情，所以应填should have done，表示“本应该做（而实际未做）”。故选D项。 13. Many of us know the live-action film Cinderella, a fairy tale about a kind-hearted country girl who suffers mistreatment at the ________ of her cruel and jealous stepmother. A. shelter B. trick C. spy D. mercy 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：我们很多人都知道真人电影《灰姑娘》，这是一个关于一个善良的乡下女孩在她残忍又嫉妒的继母的摆布下遭受虐待的童话故事。A. shelter庇护所；B. trick诡计；C. spy间谍；D. mercy仁慈，怜悯。根据“suffers mistreatment”可知，女孩被继母随意摆布、虐待，at the mercy of为固定短语，意为“受……支配，任……摆布”，mercy符合题意。 14. The president of the World Bank says he has a passion for China, _______ he remembers starting as early as his childhood. A. where B. which C. what D. when 【答案】B 【解析】 【分析】 【详解】考查定语从句。句意：世界银行的总裁说他对中国有种热情，他记得是早在童年就开始了。_______ he remembers starting as early as his childhood.是一个非限制性定语从句，先行词是a passion，定语从句中remember后面缺少宾语，用which引导定语从句，that不能引导非限制性定语从句，故选B。 15. —How do you find the baked bread on display? —Well, delicious!

A. the one B. it C. that D. which 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：—— 你觉得展出的烤面包怎么样？—— 嗯，很美味！但是我不太看好你买的那一个。根据语境可知，此处指代展出面包这类中特指你买的那一个，the one符合语境，为同类单数特指。 第二节：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分） Being good at something and having a passion for it are not enough.

However, considering the increasing competitiveness of universities to attract more and more applicants, many schools now offer extra benefits to be enjoyed by all of their students. Here are some of the coolest: University of Missouri When you think of a campus gym, you probably picture a room equipped with old weights and out-of-date machines. However, at the University of Missouri, you can enjoy one of the best campus fitness centers in the country. It features an “indoor beach” complete with a waterfall and a lazy river, as well as a full-service spa. Even if you don’t normally enjoy working out, Missouri’s fitness center will give you a reason to go to the gym. High Point University If you see yourself quickly tired of dining hall food — something that happens to almost all of us — High Point University in North Carolina has a great option for you: a private steakhouse for students. It’s a first-class restaurant, and, best of all, you don’t have to pay for the meal out of your own pocket. You can use your dining dollars instead. Set on Hall University If you’re stressing out about the extra cost of technology when you start college, Seton Hall has great news for you: all freshmen are given free laptops through the university’s Mobile Computing Program. As a freshman, you’ll receive a laptop already set up with all of the software that you’ll need as a student. Then, after two years, you’ll receive a new and updated laptop designed to carry to through until after you graduate. New York University If you’re a fan of museums, NYU (New York University) is the perfect university for you not only are you located in the heart of a city featuring some of the best museums in the world, but the university will even provide you with free admission to many of them. You can take advantage of visiting free museums at any time you want — and you’ll never be bored on the weekends. 36. What can we learn from Paragraph1? A. It is hard to be admitted to a university.

The 11-mile round trip left me with dead legs and the suspicion that I had made a mistake. A month earlier, my 23-year-old minivan broke down for the last time. Rather than replace it, I decided a new “car-free” reality would encourage a healthier lifestyle. My aching muscles questioned the viability (可行性) of this plan. Three years later, I now know that giving up my car was the first step toward solving a lifelong struggle: maintaining consistent physical activity. What started as a necessity-I had no car, so I must bike became a strategy: Errands (差事) are an opportunity for exercise. I began seeking out new errands just for the exercise they would provide. Rain or shine, I became an errand-running machine. For most of my adult life, I’d been trying, and failing, to consistently exercise. Only now, as I hit my 60th birthday, did I feel I’d finally figured it out. Michelle Fortier, a physical activity psychologist, mentioned that outside motivations, like doctors warnings and weight insecurities, do not result in lasting behavior change. “That can get people started, but it will not maintain their physical activity,” Dr. Fortier said. My own behavior change, Dr. Fortier explained, was probably the result of combining two intrinsically (内在地) generated motivations that had nothing to do with body-image fears or outside pressures: I love to ride my bike, and I love the satisfaction of getting things done. Recognizing that day-to-day tasks often involve movement is an opportunity to build physical activity habits into our everyday lives. But you’d better pay attention to the pleasure principle, begin with what you like, and then work yourself into shape. 41. How did the author find his first-time biking trip to and from Costco? A. Very confusing. B. Extremely tiring. C. Rather worrying. D. Deeply embarrassing. 42. What problem did the author face before giving up his car? A. He lacked enough money to buy a new one. B. He was too busy to ride a bike to a grocery shop. C. He had difficulty in doing physical activity regularly. D. He found it challenging to drive a car over a long distance. 43. In paragraph 5, the author mentions Michelle Fortier to show _________. A. the benefits of running errands B. the challenges in behavior change C. the importance of regular exercise D. the importance of intrinsic motivations 44. What played an important role in the author’s lasting behavior change? A. A sense of satisfaction. B. Warnings from doctors. C. Tips from a psychologist. D. A fear for his growing weight. 45. What would be the best title for the text? A. How I Overcame Outside Pressures B. How I Turned My Errands into Exercise C. Why I Became a Fast-Running Machine D. Why I Dreamed of a “Car-Free” Lifestyle 【答案】41. B 42. C 43. D 44. A 45. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者放弃汽车，选择用自行车进行锻炼，并坚持了下来，收获了满足感的经历。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“I was physically destroyed the first time I rode my bike home from Costco carrying a load of groceries. The 11-mile round trip left me with dead legs and the suspicion that I had made a mistake.(我第一次从好市多骑自行车回家，扛着一车杂货，身体就垮了。11英里的往返路程让我两条腿都累坏了，我怀疑自己犯了一个错误)”可知，作者第一次骑自行车往返于好市多，感觉非常累。故选B。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“A month earlier, my 23-year-old minivan broke down for the last time. Rather than replace it, I decided a new “car-free” reality would encourage a healthier lifestyle. My aching muscles questioned the viability (可行性) of this plan. (一个月前，我那辆开了23年的小货车最后一次抛锚了。而不是取代它，我决定一个新的“无车”现实将鼓励更健康的生活方式。我酸痛的肌肉质疑这个计划的可行性)”可知，作者在放弃他的汽车之前，面临他很难有规律地进行体育活动。故选C。 【43题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Michelle Fortier, a physical activity psychologist, mentioned that outside motivations, like doctors warnings and weight insecurities, do not result in lasting behavior change. “That can get people started, but it will not maintain their physical activity, ” Dr. Fortier said.(体育活动心理学家米歇尔·福捷提到，外在动机，比如医生的警告和对体重的不安全感，不会导致持久的行为改变。“这可以让人们开始运动，但并不能维持他们的身体活动，”福捷博士说)”可知，作者提到Michelle Fortier来说明内在动机的重要性。故选D。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“My own behavior change, Dr. Fortier explained, was probably the result of combining two intrinsically (内在地) generated motivations that had nothing to do with body-image fears or outside pressures: I love to ride my bike, and I love the satisfaction of getting things done.(福捷博士解释说，我自己的行为改变可能是两种内在动机结合的结果，这两种动机与对身体形象的恐惧或外界压力无关：我喜欢骑自行车，我喜欢完成任务的满足感)”可知，在作者持久的行为改变中，一种满足感起了重要作用。故选A。 【45题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Three years later, I now know that giving up my car was the first step toward solving a lifelong struggle: maintaining consistent physical activity. What started as a necessity-I had no car, so I must bike became a strategy: Errands (差事) are an opportunity for exercise.(三年后，我现在知道，放弃我的车是解决一个终身难题的第一步：保持持续的体育锻炼。一开始是必需品——我没有车，所以我必须骑自行车——现在变成了一种策略：跑腿是锻炼身体的机会)”结合文章主要讲述了作者放弃汽车，选择用自行车进行锻炼，并坚持了下来，收获了满足感的经历可知，B选项“我是如何把我的差事变成锻炼的”最符合文章标题。故选B。 C Social media can be a powerful communication tool for employees, helping them to collaborate, share ideas and solve problems. Research has shown that 82% of employees think social media can improve work relationships and 60% believe it can support decision-making processes. These beliefs contribute to a majority of workers connecting with colleagues on social media, even during work hours. Employers typically worry that social media is a productivity killer; more than half of U.S. employers reportedly block access to social media at work. In my research with 277employees of a healthcare organization I found these concerns to be misguided. Social media doesn’t reduce productivity nearly as much as it kills employee retention (保留). In the first part of the study, I surveyed the employees about why and how they used platforms like Facebook, Twitter, or LinkedIn. Respondents were then asked about their work behaviors, including whether they felt motivated in their jobs and showed initiative at work. I found employees who engage in online social interactions with co-workers through social media blogs tend to be more motivated and come up with innovative ideas. But when employees interact with individuals outside the organization, they are less motivated and show less initiative. In the second part of the study, I found 76% of employees using social media for work took an interest in other organizations they found on social media. When I examined how respondents express to new careers and employers, I found that they engaged in some key activities including researching new organizations and making new work connection. These findings present a dilemma for managers: employees using social media at work are more engaged and more productive, but they are also more likely to leave your company. Managers should implement solutions that neutralize the retention risk caused by social media. They can create social media groups in which employees will be more likely to collaborate and less likely to share withdrawal intentions or discussions about external job opportunities. Managers can also use social media to directly reduce turnover (跳槽) intentions, by recognizing employees’ accomplishments and giving visibility to employees’ success stories? 46. What does previous research about social media reveal? A. Most employees think positively of it. B. It improves employees’ work efficiency. C. It enables employees to form connections. D. Employees spend much of their work time on it. 47. What did the author’s own research find about social media? A. It influences employees’ work negatively. B. It does much harm to employee loyalty. C. It kills employees’ motivation for work. D. It affects employers’ decision-making. 48. What did the author find in his study about the effect of online social interactions? A. It differs from employee to employee. B. It tends to vary with the platform used. C. It has much to do with whom employees interact with. D. It is hard to measure when employees interact with outsiders. 49. What problem was found with employees using social media for work? A. They seldom expressed their inner thoughts. B. Most of them explored new job opportunities. C. They were reluctant to collaborate with others. D. Many of them ended with lower productivity. 50. What does the author suggest managers do to neutralize the retention risk? A. Give promotions to employees for their accomplishments. B. Create opportunities for employees to share success stories. C. Acknowledge employees’ achievements through social media D. Encourage employees to increase their visibility on social media. 【答案】46. A 47. B 48. C 49. B 50. C 【解析】 【导语】文章探讨了社交媒体在工作场所的双重影响，并基于实证研究为管理者提供建议。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的句子“Research has shown that 82% of employees think social media can improve work relationships and 60% believe it can support decision-making processes.(研究表明，82%的员工认为社交媒体可以改善工作关系，60%的员工认为它可以支持决策过程。)”可知，大多数员工对社交媒体持积极态度。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的句子“Social media doesn’t reduce productivity nearly as much as it kills employee retention (保留).(。社交媒体对生产力的降低作用远不如它对员工留任率的破坏作用大)”可知，作者的研究发现社交媒体对员工忠诚度危害很大。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的句子“I found employees who engage in online social interactions with co-workers through social media blogs tend to be more motivated and come up with innovative ideas. But when employees interact with individuals outside the organization, they are less motivated and show less initiative.(我发现，通过社交媒体博客与同事进行在线社交互动的员工往往更有动力，能提出创新想法。但当员工与组织外的人互动时，他们的动力就会减弱，主动性也会降低。)”可知，在线社交互动的效果与员工互动的对象有关。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段中的句子“In the second part of the study, I found 76% of employees using social media for work took an interest in other organizations they found on social media.(在研究的第二部分，我发现76%使用社交媒体工作的员工对他们在社交媒体上发现的其他组织感兴趣。)”可知，使用社交媒体工作的员工大多在探索新的工作机会。 【50题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中的句子“Managers can also use social media to directly reduce turnover (跳槽) intentions, by recognizing employees’ accomplishments and giving visibility to employees’ success stories.(管理者还可以通过认可员工的成就和宣传员工的成功故事，利用社交媒体直接降低员工的跳槽意愿。)”可知，作者建议管理者通过社交媒体认可员工的成就来降低离职风险。 D Lao Zi once said, ‌“Care about what other people think and you will always be their prisoner.” People-pleasing, or seeking self-worth through others’ approval, is unproductive and an exhausting way to go through life. Why do we allow what others think of us to have so much power over how we feel about ourselves? If it’s true that you can’t please all people all of the time, wouldn’t it make sense to stop trying? Unfortunately, sense often isn’t driving our behavior. For social beings who desire love and belonging, wanting to be liked, and caring about the effect we have on others, is healthy and allows us to make connections. However, where we get into trouble is when our self-worth is dependent upon whether we win someone’s approval or not. This need to be liked can be traced back to when we were children and were completely dependent on others to take care of us: Small children are not just learning how to walk and communicate, they are also trying to learn how the world works. We learn about who we are and what is expected of us based on interactions with others so, to a four-year-old, if Mommy or Daddy doesn’t like him or her, there is the danger that they will abandon them. We need to understand that when we desperately want someone to approve of us, it’s being driven by that little kid part of us that is still terrified of abandonment. As you become more capable of providing yourself with the approval you seek, your need for external validation will start to vanish, leaving you stronger, more confident, and yes, happier in your life. Imagine how much time we lose each moment we restrain our authentic selves in an effort to be liked. If we base our worth on the opinions of others, we cheat ourselves of the power to shape our experiences and embrace life not only for others but also for ourselves, because ultimately, there is no difference. So embrace the cliché (老话) and love yourself as it’s highly doubtful that you’ll regret it. 51. What can we conclude from Lao Zi’s quotation? A. We should see through other people’s attempt to make a prisoner of us. B. We can never really please other people even if we try as hard as we can. C. We can never be truly free if taking to heart others’ opinion of us. D. We should care about other people’s view as much as they care about our own. 52. What will happen if we base our self-worth on other people’s approval? A. Our desire to be loved will be fulfilled. B. Our life will be unfruitful and exhausting. C. Our identity as social beings will be affected. D. Our sense of self will be sharpened and enhanced. 53. What may account for our need to be liked or approved of? A. Our desperate longing for interactions with others. B. Our understanding of the workings of the world. C. Our knowledge about the pain of abandonment. D. Our early childhood fear of being deserted. 54. What can we do when we become better able to provide ourselves with the desired approval? A. Enjoy a happier life. B. Exercise self-restraint. C. Receive more external validation. D. Strengthen our power of imagination. 55. What does the author advise us to do in the last paragraph? A. Embrace life for ourselves and for others. B. See our experiences as wealth. C. Base our worth on others’ opinions. D. Love ourselves as we are. 【答案】51. C 52. B 53. D 54. A 55. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要探讨了“取悦他人”这一心理现象，指出过度依赖他人认可会损害自我价值感，并建议人们学会自我认可。 【51题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Lao Zi once said, “Care about what other people think and you will always be their prisoner.” (老子曾说：“在乎别人的想法，你将永远是他们的囚徒。”)”可知，从老子的引言中可以得出结论：如果太在意他人对我们的看法，我们就永远无法真正自由。 【52题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“People-pleasing, or seeking self-worth through others’ approval, is unproductive and an exhausting way to go through life. (取悦他人，或通过他人的认可来寻求自我价值，是一种徒劳且令人筋疲力尽的生活方式)”可知，如果将自我价值建立在他人的认可上，我们的生活将变得徒劳且令人疲惫。 【53题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“This need to be liked can be traced back to when we were children and were completely dependent on others to take care of us... We need to understand that when we desperately want someone to approve of us, it’s being driven by that little kid part of us that is still terrified of abandonment. (这种被喜欢的需要可以追溯到我们小时候完全依赖他人照顾的时期……我们需要明白，当我们极度渴望某人认可我们时，这是由我们内心深处那个仍然害怕被抛弃的小孩部分所驱动的)”可知，我们需要被喜欢或被认可的原因是我们童年早期对被遗弃的恐惧。 【54题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“As you become more capable of providing yourself with the approval you seek, your need for external validation will start to vanish, leaving you stronger, more confident, and yes, happier in your life. (当你变得更有能力为自己提供你所寻求的认可时，你对外部认可的需求将开始消失，让你变得更强大、更自信，是的，生活更幸福)”可知，当我们变得更有能力为自己提供所需的认可时，我们可以享受更幸福的生活。 【55题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“So embrace the cliché (老话) and love yourself as it’s highly doubtful that you’ll regret it.(所以，拥抱这句老话，爱自己，因为你不太可能会后悔)”可知，作者在最后一段建议我们要爱自己、接纳自己。 第Ⅱ卷 注意事项： 1．用黑色墨水的钢笔或签字笔将答案写在答题卡上。 2．本卷共6小题，共35分。 第三部分：写作 第一节：阅读表达 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) “Where’s my list?” I asked, searching through papers on the breakfast table. My husband John smiled, joking about my constant to-do lists. For me, lists were not just organization — they were a way to calm my worries. Now, with our children grown, John and I were preparing for a major change: selling our home after nearly 30 years and moving somewhere new. I began imagining our future: a place near the water, easy for family visits, with good transport links. But before any of that, we had to sell our house. Throughout my life, I had always believed in finishing tasks before allowing myself to enjoy what came next. Yet again and again, something interrupted — a sudden family crisis, a friend’s last-minute need, even a worldwide pandemic that no one predicted — and my well-made plans would fall apart. Each time, I felt like starting over from the beginning. I reminded John how long it took to sell our first home, a place filled with early memories. Our first son, Jay, was born while we were still waiting for a buyer. That small house witnessed his first steps, his first words, and the news that I was pregnant with our second child, Mark. In my eagerness to move forward back then, I almost missed the beauty of those everyday moments. Sitting at our kitchen table now, I looked around. This house, too, held a lifetime of joy: the boys walking to school, friends gathering in the yard, grandparents living nearby, and countless family meals, stories, and laughter. For three decades, these walls had contained so much happiness. Why had I spent so much time planning for “someday” while overlooking the precious “now”? I gently pushed my lists aside. “The right buyer will come at the right time,” I said to John. “We’ll end up exactly where we’re meant to be.” He looked at me, surprised. “What’s changed?” he asked. “My outlook has changed,” I replied. “I don’t want to be so focused on the future that I fail to appreciate the present — whether our house sells in two weeks or two years.” As it happened, our home sold much faster than I expected. Now, in our new place, my to-do list remains long, and not everything goes according to plan. But I am learning, day by day, to enjoy the journey itself. 56. What was the author’s main purpose in making to-do lists. (No more than 10 words) _________________________________________________ 57. What significant life decision did the author mention? (No more than 10 words) _________________________________________________ 58. Why did the author’s plans often fail to work out? (No more than 10 words) _________________________________________________ 59. What does the underlined word “outlook” in Paragraph 6 probably mean? (No more than 5 words) _________________________________________________ 60. What can you learn from the author’s experience? Please briefly explain. (No more than 20 words) _________________________________________________ 【答案】56. To organize life and calm her worries. 57. Selling their home and moving somewhere new. 58. Because unexpected things often happened. 59. Attitude towards life. 60. We should enjoy life as it is now, not only plan for tomorrow. 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述作者惯于列清单规划生活，卖房搬家之际幡然醒悟，不再执念未来计划，学会珍惜当下、享受生活过程。 【56题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第一段中的“My husband John smiled, joking about my constant to-do lists.(我的丈夫约翰微笑着，拿我那没完没了的待办事项清单打趣)”以及“For me, lists were not just organization — they were a way to calm my worries.(对我来说，清单不仅仅是一种整理方式——它们还是一种缓解我焦虑的方法)”可知，作者是女性，她列清单不仅是规划生活，而且为了平复内心焦虑。 【57题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第一段中的“Now, with our children grown, John and I were preparing for a major change: selling our home after nearly 30 years and moving somewhere new.(如今，孩子们都已长大成人，我和约翰正准备迎接一个重大转变：在这所房子里住了近30年后，我们打算卖掉它，搬到一个新的地方去)”可知，作者做出的重大人生决定是卖掉住了近 30 年的房子、搬去新地方。 【58题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“Yet again and again, something interrupted — a sudden family crisis, a friend’s last-minute need, even a worldwide pandemic that no one predicted — and my well-made plans would fall apart.(然而，一次又一次，总有事情打断我——突如其来的家庭危机、朋友临到最后一刻的需求，甚至是一场谁都没预料到的全球大流行病——我精心制定的计划就这样泡汤了)”可知，各类突发状况不断发生。 【59题详解】 考查词句猜测。根据第六段画线词“outlook”后的“I don’t want to be so focused on the future that I fail to appreciate the present — whether our house sells in two weeks or two years.(我不想过于关注未来，以至于忽略了珍惜当下 —— 无论我们的房子是在两周内还是两年内售出)”可知，作者不再过度纠结未来，开始珍惜当下，心态想法发生改变。outlook应含有“人生态度”之意。 【60题详解】 开放性题目。本题要求回答：你能从作者的经历中学到什么？（简要回答不超过20个单词）。最后一段“As it happened, our home sold much faster than I expected. Now, in our new place, my to-do list remains long, and not everything goes according to plan. But I am learning, day by day, to enjoy the journey itself.(碰巧的是，我们的房子卖得比我预期的要快得多。现在，在我们的新住处，我的待办事项清单仍然很长，而且并非一切都按计划进行。但我日复一日地学着享受这个过程本身)”是作者的感悟，这启示我们不必只规划未来，要珍惜当下、享受生活本身。 第二节：书面表达 61. 假如你是晨光中学的学生李津，你校学生会将组织一场以“Self-management: The Key to Growth”为主题的英文演讲比赛。请你写一篇参赛演讲稿，内容需包括以下要点： （1）阐释你对演讲主题的理解； （2）选择1-2个具体方面（例如：时间管理，情绪管理，目标管理，健康管理等）， 结合自身经历或实例，谈谈self-management对你的影响和启发； （3）呼吁同学们重视自我管理。 注意：（1）开头结尾已给出，不计入总词数；（2）词数不少于 100； （3）可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 Dear judges and fellow students, Good Morning!_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Thank you for your listening! 【答案】 Dear judges and fellow students, Good Morning!

Thank you for your listening! 【解析】 【导语】题目要求考生围绕“Self-management: The Key to Growth”主题写一篇演讲稿，阐释理解、结合自身经历谈影响启发并呼吁同学重视自我管理。 【详解】1.词汇积累 提升：improve → advance 严格地：strictly → rigidly 难忘的：unforgettable → memorable 重要性：importance → significance 2.句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：In conclusion, self-management is of great importance. 拓展句：In conclusion, self-management is of such great importance that we should all pay attention to it. 【点睛】【高分句型1】What I found was that I gradually made progress, and finally achieved my goal.

However, considering the increasing competitiveness of universities to attract more and more applicants, many schools now offer extra benefits to be enjoyed by all of their students. Here are some of the coolest: University of Missouri When you think of a campus gym, you probably picture a room equipped with old weights and out-of-date machines. However, at the University of Missouri, you can enjoy one of the best campus fitness centers in the country. It features an “indoor beach” complete with a waterfall and a lazy river, as well as a full-service spa. Even if you don’t normally enjoy working out, Missouri’s fitness center will give you a reason to go to the gym. High Point University If you see yourself quickly tired of dining hall food — something that happens to almost all of us — High Point University in North Carolina has a great option for you: a private steakhouse for students. It’s a first-class restaurant, and, best of all, you don’t have to pay for the meal out of your own pocket. You can use your dining dollars instead. Set on Hall University If you’re stressing out about the extra cost of technology when you start college, Seton Hall has great news for you: all freshmen are given free laptops through the university’s Mobile Computing Program. As a freshman, you’ll receive a laptop already set up with all of the software that you’ll need as a student. Then, after two years, you’ll receive a new and updated laptop designed to carry to through until after you graduate. New York University If you’re a fan of museums, NYU (New York University) is the perfect university for you not only are you located in the heart of a city featuring some of the best museums in the world, but the university will even provide you with free admission to many of them. You can take advantage of visiting free museums at any time you want — and you’ll never be bored on the weekends. 36. What can we learn from Paragraph1? A. It is hard to be admitted to a university. B. A university’s fame is the top consideration. C. The competition to attract applicants is fierce. D. Extra benefits makes no difference to applicants. 37. What can we learn about the fitness center in the University of Missouri? A. Its equipment is out of date. B. It is the best one in the world. C. It has a real beach there. D.

The 11-mile round trip left me with dead legs and the suspicion that I had made a mistake. A month earlier, my 23-year-old minivan broke down for the last time. Rather than replace it, I decided a new “car-free” reality would encourage a healthier lifestyle. My aching muscles questioned the viability (可行性) of this plan. Three years later, I now know that giving up my car was the first step toward solving a lifelong struggle: maintaining consistent physical activity. What started as a necessity-I had no car, so I must bike became a strategy: Errands (差事) are an opportunity for exercise. I began seeking out new errands just for the exercise they would provide. Rain or shine, I became an errand-running machine. For most of my adult life, I’d been trying, and failing, to consistently exercise. Only now, as I hit my 60th birthday, did I feel I’d finally figured it out. Michelle Fortier, a physical activity psychologist, mentioned that outside motivations, like doctors warnings and weight insecurities, do not result in lasting behavior change. “That can get people started, but it will not maintain their physical activity,” Dr. Fortier said. My own behavior change, Dr. Fortier explained, was probably the result of combining two intrinsically (内在地) generated motivations that had nothing to do with body-image fears or outside pressures: I love to ride my bike, and I love the satisfaction of getting things done. Recognizing that day-to-day tasks often involve movement is an opportunity to build physical activity habits into our everyday lives. But you’d better pay attention to the pleasure principle, begin with what you like, and then work yourself into shape. 41. How did the author find his first-time biking trip to and from Costco? A. Very confusing. B. Extremely tiring. C. Rather worrying. D. Deeply embarrassing. 42. What problem did the author face before giving up his car? A. He lacked enough money to buy a new one. B.

In paragraph 5, the author mentions Michelle Fortier to show _________. A. the benefits of running errands B. the challenges in behavior change C. the importance of regular exercise D. the importance of intrinsic motivations 44. What played an important role in the author’s lasting behavior change? A. A sense of satisfaction. B. Warnings from doctors. C. Tips from a psychologist. D. A fear for his growing weight. 45. What would be the best title for the text? A. How I Overcame Outside Pressures B. How I Turned My Errands into Exercise C. Why I Became a Fast-Running Machine D. Why I Dreamed of a “Car-Free” Lifestyle C Social media can be a powerful communication tool for employees, helping them to collaborate, share ideas and solve problems. Research has shown that 82% of employees think social media can improve work relationships and 60% believe it can support decision-making processes. These beliefs contribute to a majority of workers connecting with colleagues on social media, even during work hours. Employers typically worry that social media is a productivity killer; more than half of U.S. employers reportedly block access to social media at work. In my research with 277employees of a healthcare organization I found these concerns to be misguided. Social media doesn’t reduce productivity nearly as much as it kills employee retention (保留). In the first part of the study, I surveyed the employees about why and how they used platforms like Facebook, Twitter, or LinkedIn. Respondents were then asked about their work behaviors, including whether they felt motivated in their jobs and showed initiative at work. I found employees who engage in online social interactions with co-workers through social media blogs tend to be more motivated and come up with innovative ideas. But when employees interact with individuals outside the organization, they are less motivated and show less initiative. In the second part of the study, I found 76% of employees using social media for work took an interest in other organizations they found on social media. When I examined how respondents express to new careers and employers, I found that they engaged in some key activities including researching new organizations and making new work connection. These findings present a dilemma for managers: employees using social media at work are more engaged and more productive, but they are also more likely to leave your company. Managers should implement solutions that neutralize the retention risk caused by social media. They can create social media groups in which employees will be more likely to collaborate and less likely to share withdrawal intentions or discussions about external job opportunities. Managers can also use social media to directly reduce turnover (跳槽) intentions, by recognizing employees’ accomplishments and giving visibility to employees’ success stories? 46. What does previous research about social media reveal? A. Most employees think positively of it. B. It improves employees’ work efficiency. C. It enables employees to form connections. D. Employees spend much of their work time on it. 47. What did the author’s own research find about social media? A. It influences employees’ work negatively. B. It does much harm to employee loyalty. C. It kills employees’ motivation for work. D. It affects employers’ decision-making. 48. What did the author find in his study about the effect of online social interactions? A. It differs from employee to employee. B. It tends to vary with the platform used. C. It has much to do with whom employees interact with. D. It is hard to measure when employees interact with outsiders. 49. What problem was found with employees using social media for work? A. They seldom expressed their inner thoughts. B. Most of them explored new job opportunities. C. They were reluctant to collaborate with others. D. Many of them ended with lower productivity. 50. What does the author suggest managers do to neutralize the retention risk? A. Give promotions to employees for their accomplishments. B. Create opportunities for employees to share success stories. C. Acknowledge employees’ achievements through social media D. Encourage employees to increase their visibility on social media. D Lao Zi once said, ‌“Care about what other people think and you will always be their prisoner.” People-pleasing, or seeking self-worth through others’ approval, is unproductive and an exhausting way to go through life. Why do we allow what others think of us to have so much power over how we feel about ourselves? If it’s true that you can’t please all people all of the time, wouldn’t it make sense to stop trying? Unfortunately, sense often isn’t driving our behavior. For social beings who desire love and belonging, wanting to be liked, and caring about the effect we have on others, is healthy and allows us to make connections. However, where we get into trouble is when our self-worth is dependent upon whether we win someone’s approval or not. This need to be liked can be traced back to when we were children and were completely dependent on others to take care of us: Small children are not just learning how to walk and communicate, they are also trying to learn how the world works. We learn about who we are and what is expected of us based on interactions with others so, to a four-year-old, if Mommy or Daddy doesn’t like him or her, there is the danger that they will abandon them. We need to understand that when we desperately want someone to approve of us, it’s being driven by that little kid part of us that is still terrified of abandonment. As you become more capable of providing yourself with the approval you seek, your need for external validation will start to vanish, leaving you stronger, more confident, and yes, happier in your life. Imagine how much time we lose each moment we restrain our authentic selves in an effort to be liked. If we base our worth on the opinions of others, we cheat ourselves of the power to shape our experiences and embrace life not only for others but also for ourselves, because ultimately, there is no difference. So embrace the cliché (老话) and love yourself as it’s highly doubtful that you’ll regret it. 51. What can we conclude from Lao Zi’s quotation? A. We should see through other people’s attempt to make a prisoner of us. B. We can never really please other people even if we try as hard as we can. C. We can never be truly free if taking to heart others’ opinion of us. D. We should care about other people’s view as much as they care about our own. 52. What will happen if we base our self-worth on other people’s approval? A. Our desire to be loved will be fulfilled. B. Our life will be unfruitful and exhausting. C. Our identity as social beings will be affected. D. Our sense of self will be sharpened and enhanced. 53. What may account for our need to be liked or approved of? A. Our desperate longing for interactions with others. B. Our understanding of the workings of the world. C. Our knowledge about the pain of abandonment. D. Our early childhood fear of being deserted. 54. What can we do when we become better able to provide ourselves with the desired approval? A. Enjoy a happier life. B. Exercise self-restraint. C. Receive more external validation. D. Strengthen our power of imagination. 55. What does the author advise us to do in the last paragraph? A. Embrace life for ourselves and for others. B. See our experiences as wealth. C. Base our worth on others’ opinions. D. Love ourselves as we are. 第Ⅱ卷 注意事项： 1．用黑色墨水的钢笔或签字笔将答案写在答题卡上。 2．本卷共6小题，共35分。 第三部分：写作 第一节：阅读表达 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) “Where’s my list?” I asked, searching through papers on the breakfast table. My husband John smiled, joking about my constant to-do lists. For me, lists were not just organization — they were a way to calm my worries. Now, with our children grown, John and I were preparing for a major change: selling our home after nearly 30 years and moving somewhere new. I began imagining our future: a place near the water, easy for family visits, with good transport links. But before any of that, we had to sell our house. Throughout my life, I had always believed in finishing tasks before allowing myself to enjoy what came next. Yet again and again, something interrupted — a sudden family crisis, a friend’s last-minute need, even a worldwide pandemic that no one predicted — and my well-made plans would fall apart. Each time, I felt like starting over from the beginning. I reminded John how long it took to sell our first home, a place filled with early memories. Our first son, Jay, was born while we were still waiting for a buyer. That small house witnessed his first steps, his first words, and the news that I was pregnant with our second child, Mark. In my eagerness to move forward back then, I almost missed the beauty of those everyday moments. Sitting at our kitchen table now, I looked around. This house, too, held a lifetime of joy: the boys walking to school, friends gathering in the yard, grandparents living nearby, and countless family meals, stories, and laughter. For three decades, these walls had contained so much happiness. Why had I spent so much time planning for “someday” while overlooking the precious “now”? I gently pushed my lists aside. “The right buyer will come at the right time,” I said to John. “We’ll end up exactly where we’re meant to be.” He looked at me, surprised. “What’s changed?” he asked. “My outlook has changed,” I replied. “I don’t want to be so focused on the future that I fail to appreciate the present — whether our house sells in two weeks or two years.” As it happened, our home sold much faster than I expected. Now, in our new place, my to-do list remains long, and not everything goes according to plan. But I am learning, day by day, to enjoy the journey itself. 56.
