On arriving at the park, the students were divided into several groups and assigned different tasks. Some students were told to take water samples from the lake, while other students went to observe the local species. After a whole day’s work, they found both the water and the local species are in good condition. Tired as all the students felt, they thought it worthwhile. Not only do they know more about their living conditions but they also raise awareness of environmental protection. 67. （25分） I walked up to the front steps and knocked on the door. Out came a kid, calling himself Samuel. After greeting, I came straight to the point, asking why the shoes went to the thrift shop. From Samuel’s hesitant words, I knew the fact that his family needed money badly because of his father’s sudden illness. Thus, Samuel had to give up the precious birthday gift. Moved by what he said, I took off the shoes and handed them to Samuel without hesitation, wishing his family all the best. Tears in eyes, Samuel thanked me again and again. I returned home barefoot(赤脚的) and my parents were surprised. Before they could say anything, the whole story came pouring out. “The amazing shoes have been back to the owner, Samuel! There’s special meaning to him!” I asked my parents to forgive me for my immediate action without referring to their opinions. Instead of scolding (训斥) me, my parents went over and hugged me tightly, praising me for what I had done. Later on, I got another special pair of shoes for my birthday. Such a “small” but beautiful memory inspired me to be a better person. 听力部分录音材料： Text 1 M: I didn't realize there were so many different types of Chinese tea! What do you recommend?

Sports officials who can keep the games fair are needed everywhere. Some on-the-job training is required, along with perhaps more than a little patience for fans and players. Physician assistant Average hourly wage: $57.43 Physician assistant is another health care role that has more responsibilities than a nurse but less than a doctor. Working with a physician, the workers can handle duties such as finding out patients’ disease, ordering medical tests and setting broken bones. These jobs require a master’s degree along with required certificates. Project management specialist Average hourly wage: $53.32 If you have experience helping others turn their great ideas into finished products, this could be the right role for you. A project management specialist needs a bachelor degree, but doesn’t have to follow a fixed working time. Teacher Average hourly wage: $33.43 Teaching has long been a popular job for older adults, whether they’ve been doing it for years or they choose it as a second career. While most public schools do require teachers to have a degree in education, many private schools are willing to hire teachers who come from other professions. 21. What can we know about physician assistants? A. They need an on-the-job training. B. They are paid the most on average. C. They are less popular than doctors. D. They need both certificates and experience. 22. Which of the following suits those who prefer a flexible timetable? A. Teacher. B. Referee or other sports official. C. Physician assistant. D.

B Oprah Winfrey is recognized as one of the most powerful females in the world. A successful TV hostess, and an influential producer are among the titles she is known as. She was born in Kosciusko, Mississippi, on January 29, 1954. As a child, she lived with poverty and mistreatment. Although she was not offered everything effortlessly, she still overcame her childhood struggles and made her mark in the world. How did Oprah Winfrey overcome the setbacks(挫折) and build her career from zero? It started when she was 19 and won the Miss Black Tennessee beauty contest. This was her stepping stone towards her journey to work in the media. She started her career as a radio and TV hostess in Nashville. Then she moved to Baltimore, Maryland, where she hosted a local talk show called People Are Talking. This show gained popularity and this finally led to her own national talk show The Oprah Winfrey Show, which ran for 25 seasons and was the highest-rated talk show in the history of television. Oprah has a heart of gold and has been a supporter of many causes over the course of her career, such as education, health, and wellness. She has used her stage to inspire and teach people worldwide through her charity organization known as the Oprah Winfrey Network. She also took a step for the education of girls in South Africa by starting the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy. Oprah Winfrey's life is a true example of where being strong and determined can lead you. She has shown people that if you put your mind to something, you can achieve it. The lesson we can learn from her is that no matter how hard things get, you can always find the strength to keep going and reach your goals. 24. What was Oprah's childhood like? A. She was born with a silver spoon. B. She struggled with health problems. C. She went through a lot of difficulties. D. She grew up in an easy atmosphere. 25. What was the first step of Oprah's career? A. Winning a beauty contest. B. Launching a local talk show. C. Running a national talk show. D. Hosting a radio and TV programme. 26. Which of the following can best describe Oprah? A. Warm-hearted but impatient. B. Humorous and ambitious. C. Narrow-minded but talented. D. Strong-willed and kind-hearted. 27. What is the best title for the text? A. The Oprah Winfrey Show — A Stage to Inspire People B. The Oprah Winfrey Show — The Highest Rated Talk Show C. Oprah Winfrey — A Female Supporter of Media Broadcasting D. Oprah Winfrey — One of the Most Powerful Women in the World C Why does social media cause feelings of loneliness and lack of confidence? Because instead of being real life, it is impression management, a way of marketing yourself, carefully choosing and filtering (过滤) the picture and words to put your best face forward. Online “friends” made through social media do not follow the normal psychological progression of friendship. You share neither physical time nor emotional conversations over the Internet. You simply communicate photographs and catchy posts to a diverse group of people whom you have “friended” or “followed” based on an accidental interaction. This is not to say that your social media friends can’t be real friends. They absolutely can, but the two are not the same. Generally speaking, there are no unfiltered or casually taken photos on our social media pages because it wouldn’t feel safe to be completely authentic (真实的) and vulnerable (易受伤的) with some of our “friends” whom we don’t actually know or with whom trust has yet to be built. Social media can certainly be an escape from the daily routines, but we must be cautious about the negative effects on a person’s overal psychological well-being. As humans, we are eager for social connection. Scrolling (滚动) through pages of pictures and comments, however, does not provide the same degree of fulfillment as face-to-face interactions do. Also, we tend to idealize others’ lives and compare our downfalls to their greatest accomplishments, ending in feelings of loneliness and lack of confidence. Social media can lead to unhealthy pursuit for perfection. Some people begin to attend certain events or travel to different places so that they can snap that “perfect” photo. However, pictures and posts should be byproducts of life’s treasured moments and fun times, not the planned and calculated image that one is putting out into cyberspace in an attempt to fill insecurities or unmet needs. Ultimately, social media has increased our ability to connect with various types of people all over the globe. It has opened doors for business and allowed us to stay connected to people whom we may not otherwise get to follow. However, social media should feel like a fun experience, not one that contributes to negative thoughts and feelings. If the latter is the case, increasing face to face time with trusted friends and minimizing time scrolling online will prove to be a reminder that your real social network is much more rewarding than any “like”, “follow” or “share” can be. 28. How does social media affect our life? A. It may improve our physical appearance. B. It may make us feel isolated and insecure. C. It may filter our negative impressions on others. D. It may enhance our communication skills. 29. Why do people post photos selectively on social media? A. They do not want to lose their followers. B. They are eager to become famous overnight. C. They do not find all their online friends trustworthy. D. They want to avoid offending any of their audience. 30. What do humans tend to do according to the passage? A. Have more face-to-face interactions. B. Exaggerate their life’s accomplishments. C. Learn lessons from other people’s downfalls. D. Paint a rosy picture of other people’s lives. 31. What does the author advise when online experience becomes unpleasant? A. Stay connected to online friends for suggestions. B. Strengthen ties with real-life friends instead of online friends. C. Connect with various types of people all over the globe. D. Avoid negative thoughts and feelings through online pages. D For all the incredible advances in virtual reality devices, the worlds they generate still feel more virtual than real. That’s because much of the current development has focused on how those worlds look and sound. But humans experience the real world through many other senses--importantly touch. HaptX has spent more than a decade developing a haptic (触觉的) glove that simulates (模拟) the vivid sense of touch in the virtual world. The haptic glove applies advanced “microfluidic” technology. It starts with packed air, which is pushed into a device called an air controller. When a user interacts with an object in a virtual space, this controller sends air to specific points on the glove. The air fires actuators (促动器) housed inside the glove that press against the user’s palm and fingertips, providing haptic feedback that simulates “touching” the object. A “muscle system” also generates a resistive force that copies the virtual object’s size and shape. HaptX gave people the opportunity to try the device at a show in Las Vegas. In one demo, people used one hand to pet a cat and the other to touch a tree that was grown in a pot. The glove was able to provide discrepant feelings for each hand at the same time. The cat was smooth and continuous, while the tree stung people’s hands with thin sharp points. While the technology has a wide range of applications, the biggest one is training. The training opportunities include teaching pilots to fly planes, surgeons to perform surgery, and technicians to perform tricky repairs. If paired with a large language model AI, such simulated environments could help professionals like physical specialists improve the hands-on and social aspects of the job at the same time. Another area HaptX is exploring is the field of robotics. A robot equipped with skillful, human-like hands could be sent onto a site that is too dirty, dangerous, or distant for a human. It could work more precisely. If the operators were equipped with the glove, they could feel what the robots feel during their work while also keeping them safe. Looking ahead, HaptX plans to fine-tune its current development kit to make it more effective. “What’s real, and what’s virtual? That’s where we’re going,” HaptX’s chief officer concluded. 32. Why does the current virtual reality technology still feel virtual? A. It lacks interaction with the users. B. It fails to present high - quality scenes. C. It suffers a delayed reaction to touch. D. It is limited to vision and sound senses. 33. How does HaptX’s glove copy the feel of touch? A. By using electricity to excite hand nerves. B. By guiding the users’ fingers and muscle. C. By using air to activate haptic feedback. D. By controlling the airflow in the haptic glove. 34. What does the underlined word “discrepant” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. attractive. B. pleasant. C. uncomfortable. D. different. 35. What could HaptX’s gloves be applied to do following their further application? A. Help robots protect people’s safety. B. Improve the quality of robots’ work. C. Develop people’s communication skills. D. Enhance people’s ability to do dangerous work. 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。 Have you ever embarrassed yourself in public and got laughed at? Say, have you accidentally knocked over the water when you were talking with someone? ___36___ And it’s okay — you should even have a laugh about them. ___37___ Most of us have insecurities, or feel bad about ourselves because of past misfortune. However, it’s normal to be imperfect. You should stop worrying about having to convince others of your worth or maintaining an ideal image of yourself. You should be honest with yourself about who you are and accept yourself despite your weaknesses. You won’t be able to laugh at yourself without first accepting yourself. Being a little sceptical about yourself actually helps to promote your confidence. ___38___ And optimistic people tend to be more successful. This is because making fun of ourselves contributes to our mental health and helps lift our mood in the face of difficulties or embarrassment. More importantly, it helps us realize our own weaknesses so we know which areas to do better in. When you laugh at yourself, people will probably like you more because you’ re being real. While laughing at someone else may hurt their feelings even if you didn’t intend to, laughing at yourself does not — you might even bring a smile to their faces. ___39___ People actually appreciate it when you laugh at yourself. Laughing at yourself shows that you are being real about your imperfections. Just remember: it is human to make mistakes, and you have to accept yourself just as you are. ___40___ A.

Although my parents were not wealthy, they always tried to turn special occasions into beautiful memories with each other. I was about to leave for school when my mother stopped me. “Wait a minute! We have something special for you!” my mother announced and offered me a shoebox. My eyebrows raised in surprise. This gift was surprising because the box looked like one of my favourite brands. When I lifted the lid, I screamed in delight. “Happy birthday, baby!” my mom said as I grabbed the popular basketball shoes and tried them on.“I got them from Mr. Byrne’s thrift shop (旧货店), but they look pretty new, right?” “I don’t care where they came from, Mom. They are amazing! Thank you so much!”I held them fondly. “I can’t wait to show them off at school!” Of course, I received lots of praise at school. Suddenly, Brandon, one of my classmates, shouted, “Look! There’s something written here!” I looked carefully and saw the words “To my dearest boy…” on a sole (鞋底). “Your mom probably wrote them,” Brandon stated. I shook my head. “My mom’s handwriting is not like this. It must be from the old owner.” I wondered about the words the rest of the day. Someone had really loved my sneakers, and maybe these shoes held much meaning to someone else. After school, I walked to Mr. Byrne’s store and asked around. The older man said, “Oh, they were brought in by a kid named Samuel. He lives in a red house nearby. Mrs. Gherkins’ son, I believe.” “Do you know why he sold them?” “Most people bring stuff here because they need money,” Mr. Byrne stated. I walked out of the store, thinking about how sad the boy probably was. I wanted to know what happened, so I looked around that street and soon spotted the red house. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I walked up to the front steps and knocked on the door._______________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I returned home barefoot (赤脚的) and my parents were surprised._________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ( 高二英语试卷 第 1 页 共 7 页 ) 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
