I was desperately nervous about becoming car-free. But eight months ago our car was hit by a passing vehicle and it was destroyed. No problem, I thought: we’ll buy another. But the insurance payout didn’t even begin to cover the costs of buying a new car-I worked out that, with the loan, we’d need plus petrol, insurance, parking permits and tax, we would make a payment as much as £600 a month.
And that’s when I had my fancy idea. Why not just give up having a car at all? I live in London. We have a railway station behind our house, a tube station 10 minutes’ walk away, and a bus stop at the end of the street. A new car club had just opened in our area, and one of its shiny little red Peugeots was parked nearby. If any family in Britain could live without a car, I reasoned, then surely we were that family.
But my new car-free idea, sadly, wasn’t shared by my family. My teenage daughters were horrified. What would their friends think about our family being “too poor to afford a car”? (I wasn’t that bothered what they thought, and I suggested the girls should take the same approach.)
My friends, too, were astonished at our plan. What would happen if someone got seriously ill overnight and needed to go to hospital? (an ambulance) How would the children get to and from their many events? (buses and trains) People smiled as though this was another of my mad ideas, before saying they were sure I’d soon realize that a car was a necessity.
Eight months on, I wonder whether we’ll ever own a car again. The idea that you “have to” own a car, especially if you live in a city, is all in the mind. I live—and many other citizens do too—in a place that has never been better served by public transport, and yet car ownership has never been higher. We worry about rising car costs, but we’d be better off asking something much more basic: do I really need a car? Certainly the answer is no, and I’m a lot richer because I dared to ask the question.
24.The author decided to live a car-free life partly because ______.
A. most families chose to go car-free
B. he was hurt in a terrible car accident
C. the cost of a new car was too much
D. the traffic jam was unbearable for him
25.What is the attitude of the author’s family toward his plan?
A.Disapproving . B.Supportive . C. Optimistic. D. Unconcerned.
26.What did the author suggest his daughters do about their friends’ opinion?
A. Argue against it.
B. Take their advice.
C. Leave it alone.
D. Think it over.
27.What conclusion did the author draw after the eight-month car-free life?
A. Life cannot go without a car.
B. Life without a car is a little bit hard.
C. His life gets improved without a car.
D. A car-free life does not suit everyone.

I used to constantly overshare so much that "addicted oversharer" became one of my blog tags.Ask me how I was doing,and I'd tell you everything in detail.Then I got therapy.Over time,I learned to share much less,but I still open up quite a lot.At least now I learned the difference between mentioning my marriage and airing all our dirty laundry.
It turns out that most of us have been operating under a wrong assumption about openness. "We've been warned not to overshare,but the bigger risk is often undersharing," says Leslie John,PhD,a professor at Harvard Business School. "When we reveal something real — like something slightly imperfect — we signal trust.And trust invites trust back.That's how relationships deepen."
People assume revealing something vulnerable (脆弱的),like admitting "I get nervous before big presentations",will ruin their reputation.Yet it almost never does.Instead,small,authentic admissions tend to increase trust without reducing how competent someone appears.What feels risky in the moment often builds connection in the long run.In one of John's studies,nearly 90% of people said they'd rather hire a job candidate who admitted failing an exam than one who covered up their grades.
Of course,there are drawbacks.When oversharing crosses into poor timing,one-sided monologues or a complete failure to consider context,people understandably feel uncomfortable.John figures that the oversharer is quite likely to lie awake at 2 a.m.and kick himself for having said too much.But even here,she has found the bright side:Although oversharing may be embarrassing,it can also win others' admiration for his bravery in sharing,which will lead to long-term trust that we often fail to notice.
"Revealing is a skill," John says. "And like any skill,it improves with practice." The goal isn't to treat every interaction like a confessional (忏悔).It's to develop situational awareness that lets you open up in ways that actually deepen connection.There's no need to bare one's soul all at once.Rather,let openness build gradually.For those holding back,John offers one final question to ask yourself: "What's the price I'm already paying for not saying this?"
28.What does the underlined phrase "airing all our dirty laundry" most probably mean? ______
A. Washing clothes in public.
B. Making private family trouble public.
C. Hiding personal secrets.
D. Asking for others' advice.
29.What is Leslie John's attitude towards undersharing? ______
A. Negative B. Supportive C. Doubtful D. Indifferent
30.What does the example of a job candidate show in paragraph 3? ______
A. Small and proper openness help build trust and connection.
B. People tend to hide their mistakes for reputation.
C. Authentic admissions can make people less competitive.
D.Interviewers value honesty more than talent.
31.Which of the following will the author agree with? ______
A. No pain,no gain.
B. Modest sharing bonds people.
C. Still waters run deep.
D. Loose lips sink ships.
D
It's not unusual for snow to fall in winter.During the cold weather months,some folks like to share recipes for how to make snow ice cream and other treats that use fresh powder as a base,adding milk,sugar,and toppings.
Obviously,no one is recommending anyone scoop up a bowlful of snow idling on the side of the road,full of salt,muck (淤泥),and other unpleasantness.But it does beg the question:Is any snow actually safe to consume?
While you may assume snow that's freshly fallen and collected in an undisturbed area — even a cup set out for that purpose — is free of any contaminants (污染物),don't be so sure.According to meteorologist Mary Scarzello Fairbanks,snow isn't all that clean.It's formed when water droplets freeze around some dust or debris in the air,forming an ice crystal that continues to collect water vapor and form a snowflake.
When it falls,it will also collect things hanging in the air,including dirt and even bacterial particles.Depending on the region,snow could also contain mercury (水银) or pesticides.If it's windy,snow could even mix with dirt kicked up from the soil before settling.A 2015 study published in the journal Environmental Science:Processes & Impacts even demonstrated how snow could mix with gas exhaust.This all means that,theoretically,your snow ice cream could have some pretty disgusting "toppings".
At the same time,there doesn't seem to be a surge of reports of illnesses related to snow consumption.Assuming you don't consume a huge quantity of it,it's unlikely that whatever contaminants might be in the snow will be present in large enough amounts to cause problems.While no one is technically advocating for eating snow here,just a small bite will probably be fine.
Eating snow in an emergency is another matter.The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) warns against snow snacking for people like hikers,because it can lower one's body temperature.In cases where there is a water supply issue,the CDC says it's safe to take collected snow and boil it to kill off any bacteria.
32.What is the correct order of snow formation?______
①Ice crystals are formed.
②Water and vapor are collected.
③A snowflake comes into being.
④Water droplets freeze in the air.
A. ④①②③ B. ②④①③ C. ②①④③ D. ④①③②
33.What is the function of paragraph 4?______
A. To introduce a new concept.
B. To offer a detailed explanation.
C. To pave the way for what follows.
D. To back up a previous statement.
34.What can we infer from the text?______
A. Under no circumstances does the CDC advise eating snow.
B. Boiling snow can eliminate all risks associated with eating it.
C. Eating snow after it is boiled can lower one's body temperature.
D. Consuming a small quantity of snow is unlikely to cause severe diseases.
35.Which is the best title for the passage?______
A. The Hidden Dangers of Snow Ice Cream
B. How to Safely Consume Snow in Emergencies
C. Is Snow Safe to Eat?What You Need to Know
D. From Cloud to Table:The Journey of a Snowflake
第二节 阅读七选五(共5小题,每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
Many spend most of their day dealing with even simple tasks;the amount of energy it takes is almost unbearable.Whether you' re a full-time student or an employee,you probably know the feeling of needing to fulfill obligations (履行责任) immediately.(36)______ Luckily,there are some easy ways to increase your concentration in your daily life.
(37)______ Because too much responsibility can stop you from completing the most important tasks at hand.Put the things that will help you achieve your goals first in order to lighten up your"to-do"list.When you do so,you' ll have more focus,a clear game plan,and a sound state of mind.
The 80/20 rule says that 20% of our effort produces 80% of our results.This rule may sound pretty specific.(38)______ When it comes to work,we should know which tasks really matter to save time.
Trying to handle many tasks at once can be counterproductive (适得其反的) because it requires you to change your skill sets.We may love to try to complete several tasks in a given amount of time,but this uses more of our energy.Focusing on one task at a time will help you think more deeply and creatively.(39)______
If you find yourself worried that you can't deal with so much responsibility and answer everyone immediately,use these tips to help you in your daily life.(40)______ Thus you will have a slower-paced,more mindful life.
A.Some tasks require a bit more effort on your part.
B.But it applies to every side of our lives.
C.It probably leaves you unable to stay focused.
D.Avoid being in all types of business.
E.We seldom realize that we' re wasting too much time.
F.Besides,not everything needs your attention immediately.
G.You can find them helpful in reducing your stress from work or study.

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。(满分:25分)
One day, Jim and Andy walked along the beach, looking for an adventure. They joked that someday they would find a talking fish or a mermaid ( 美人鱼 ) or a bottle with a treasure map inside. So far they had only found shells, rocks and seaweed. Today was different though. The two boys felt excited.
Sea crabs scampered on the rocks, up one side and down the other. They were quick and lively. The tide didn't seem to ever wash them away. Then Jim saw a fish. It was stranded (搁浅) on the beach, just flopping around.
"Can it talk?" Andy asked.
"It looks like any other fish," Jim said. He picked it up gently and carried it to the water.
"Do you think it will grant us any wishes?" Andy laughed.
The two boys watched as the silver fish sped off through the water. "No. Maybe next time," Jim grinned.
As the two boys walked farther down the beach, they came upon a bottle. It was green with a cork(瓶塞) in the mouth.
"Our luck will change. Does it have a map inside or a genie (妖怪)?" Andy joked.Andy picked up the bottle. He rubbed it. Nothing happened. He shook it. Nothing happened. He pulled the cork. Nothing happened.
"Try the cork again. I bet the genie is waiting for us to release him. Or we'll find a treasure map and have a real adventure." Jim exclaimed.
Andy tugged again on the cork. He wiggled it back and forth. He twisted it around and around. Finally, it popped out without breaking. Andy shook the bottle. Nothing came out.Looking inside, he couldn't see anything. Jim looked too, and shook his head. Empty.
"It's just an old wine bottle," Jim complained. He grabbed the bottle and tossed it back on the beach.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
The bottle hit a rock and shattered into many pieces._________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

1~3.【答案】C、A、B
【解析】( 1)细节理解题。根据左侧倒数第三段的The Only Sunglass Technology Certified by the Space Foundation for UV and Blue-Light Eye Protection.The TriLenium® Lens Technology blocks 99.99% UVA and UVB plus the added benefit of blue-light eye protection(唯一获得太空基金会紫外线和蓝光眼睛防护认证的太阳镜技术。®镜片技术可阻挡 99.99%的 UVA 和 UVB 紫外线,还额外提供蓝光护眼功效)可知,Eagle Eyes®太阳镜凭借特殊镜片技术阻挡大部分紫外线,故选 C。
( 2)细节理解题。根据右侧部分Two Pairs of Eagle Eyes®NavigatorTM Sunglasses $119.90;Offer Code Price $49 Save $70.90(两副EagleEyes®NavigatorTM太阳镜,售价 119.90 美元。使用优惠码价格为 49 美元,节省 70.90 美元)可知,两副 EagleEyes®NavigatorTM太阳镜的最低价格为 49 美元,故选A。
( 3)文章出处题。通读全文,尤其是根据左侧倒数第二段的Buy one,get one FREE(买一送一)可知,本文是一则 Eagle Eyes®太阳镜的商品广告,最可能出现在该品牌的销售网店( eagleeyesstore),故选B。
这是一篇应用文。文章通过引用交通安全数据和NASA的技术背景,推广Eagle Eyes® Navigator太阳镜,推出了"买一送一"的促销活动。
做这类题材阅读理解时要求考生对文章通读一遍,做题时结合原文和题目有针对性的找出相关语句进行仔细分析,结合选项选出正确答案。
4~7.【答案】C、B、D、C
【解析】【文章大意】作者的旧车不幸被撞毁了,准备买新车时,发现私家车成本高昂,而作者住址附近的公共交通非常发达,因此作者觉得没有必要买车,但家里人反对,作者说服了家里人,经过八个月后,作者感觉没买车让他变富裕不少。
1. 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句I worked out that, with the loan, we’d need plus petrol, insurance, parking permits and tax, we would make a payment as much as £600 a month.可知,因为买新车所花的费用太多了,所以作者决定不买汽车了。故C项正确。
2. 推理判断题。根据第三段第一句But my new car-free idea, sadly, wasn’t shared by my family.可知,作者不买车的想法并没有得到家人的支持。在本段接下来的内容中详细介绍了家人反对我的观点的理由。故B正确。
3. 推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句(I wasn’t that bothered what they thought, and I suggested the girls should take the same approach.)可知,我并没有受到他们的影响,我建议女儿的朋友应该和我们一样不买汽车。也就是说我建议女儿不要理睬别人的观点。故D正确。
4. 推理判断题。根据文章最后两句We worry about rising car costs, but we’d be better off asking something much more basic: do I really need a car? Certainly the answer is no, and I’m a lot richer because I dared to ask the question.可知,对于是否应该有汽车的问题,我的答案是不。因为我从没车的八个月里得出的结论就是:没了车,我变有钱了。故C项正确。
8~11.【答案】B、A、D、B
【解析】( 1)词句猜测题。根据第一段中的Over time,I learned to share much less,but I still open up quite a lot.At least now I learned the difference between mentioning my marriage and airing all our dirty laundry.(久而久之,我学会了少分享一些,但依然会相当坦诚地表达自己。至少现在我明白了提及我的婚姻和airing all our dirty laundry之间的区别。)可知,前文提到作者学会了少分享,区分了"提及婚姻"和"airing all our dirty laundry",二者形成对比,前者是正常谈论,后者应是公开不该外露的私人矛盾、负面家事,因此该短语意为"把私人家庭矛盾公之于众"。A.Washing clothes in public在公共场所洗衣;B.Making private family trouble public将家庭私事公之于众;C.Hiding personal secrets隐藏个人秘密;D.Asking for others' advice征求他人的意见。故选B。
( 2)观点态度题。根据第二段中的We've been warned not to overshare,but the bigger risk is often undersharing," 和下文"When we reveal something real — like something slightly imperfect — we signal trust.And trust invites trust back.That's how relationships deepen."(我们一直被警告不要过度分享,但更大的风险往往是分享不足。当我们透些真实的东西——比如一些微小的不完美——我们便传递出信任的信号。而信任会换来信任,这就是人际关系加深的方式。")可知,Leslie John对过少分享持否定态度。故选A。
( 3)推理判断题。根据第三段中的What feels risky in the moment often builds connection in the long run.In one of John's studies,nearly 90% of people said they'd rather hire a job candidate who admitted failing an exam than one who covered up their grades. (当下看似有风险的举动,从长远来看常常能拉近人与人之间的关系。在约翰的一项研究中,近90%的人表示,他们更愿意雇用一名承认考试不及格的求职者,而不是隐瞒成绩的人。)可知,该例子表明微小恰当的坦诚有助于建立信任与联系。故选D。
( 4)推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是第二段中的When we reveal something real — like something slightly imperfect — we signal trust.And trust invites trust back.That's how relationships deepen.(当我们展露真实的一面——比如有些不完美的地方——我们就传递出信任,而信任会换来信任,关系就是这样加深的。)和第四段最后一句Although oversharing may be embarrassing,it can also win others' admiration for his bravery in sharing,which will lead to long-term trust that we often fail to notice.(虽然过度分享可能令人尴尬,但也会因分享的勇气赢得他人赞赏,进而带来我们常忽略的长期信任。)可知,作者认同适度分享能拉近人与人之间的关系。故选B。
本文是一篇议论文。主要探讨适度分享的重要性,分析过度分享与过少分享的影响,指出真诚适度的开放能建立信任、加深人际关系。
做这类题材阅读理解时要求考生对文章通读一遍,做题时结合原文和题目有针对性的找出相关语句进行仔细分析,结合选项选出正确答案。
12~15.【答案】B、D、D、C
【解析】( 1)细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的最后一句It's formed when water droplets freeze around some dust or debris in the air,forming an ice crystal that continues to collect water vapor and form a snowflake.(它是由水滴在空气中的尘埃或碎屑周围冻结形成冰晶,冰晶不断聚集水蒸气进而形成雪花。)可知,雪花形成的正确顺序为:水滴在空气中冻结→形成冰晶→聚集水蒸气→形成雪花,故顺序为④①②③。故选B。
( 2)推理判断题。根据文章第三段中的According to meteorologist Mary Scarzello Fairbanks,snow isn't all that clean.(根据气象学家玛丽•斯卡泽洛•费尔班克斯的说法,雪并不是那么干净。)以及第四段When it falls,it will also collect things hanging in the air,including dirt and even bacterial particles.Depending on the region,snow could also contain mercury (水银) or pesticides.If it's windy,snow could even mix with dirt kicked up from the soil before settling.A 2015 study published in the journal Environmental Science:Processes & Impacts even demonstrated how snow could mix with gas exhaust.This all means that,theoretically,your snow ice cream could have some pretty disgusting "toppings".(雪花飘落时,也会吸附空气中漂浮的物质,包括灰尘甚至细菌颗粒。根据地区不同,雪还可能含有水银或杀虫剂。如果刮风,雪在落地前甚至会混入从地面扬起的泥土。2015年发表在《环境科学:过程与影响》期刊上的一项研究甚至证明了雪会如何与汽车尾气混合。这一切都意味着,理论上,你的雪糕可能会有一些非常恶心的"配料"。)可知,第四段通过列举雪含有的各类污染物,支撑了第三段提出的"雪并不干净"这一观点。故选D。
( 3)推理判断题。根据文章第五段中的最后两句Assuming you don't consume a huge quantity of it,it's unlikely that whatever contaminants might be in the snow will be present in large enough amounts to cause problems.While no one is technically advocating for snow ingestion here,just a small bite will probably be fine.(只要不大量食用,雪中的污染物含量不大可能达到致病水平。虽然从技术上讲,没有人提倡在这里摄入雪,但只咬一小口可能是可以的。)可知,少量食用雪不太可能引发严重疾病。故选D。
( 4)文章标题题。根据文章第二段中的最后一句话But it does beg the question:Is any snow actually safe to consume?(但这确实引出一个问题:到底有没有雪是可以安全食用的?)及全文内容可知,文章围绕食用雪是否安全展开介绍与分析,因此选项C"吃雪安全吗?你需要知道的事"能够概括文章内容,最适合作为文章标题。故选C。
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要了介绍雪的形成过程、雪含有的污染物,以及食用雪是否安全的相关科学知识。
做这类题材阅读理解时要求考生对文章通读一遍,做题时结合原文和题目有针对性的找出相关语句进行仔细分析,结合选项选出正确答案。
20~24.【答案】C、A、B、F、G
【解析】( 1)语境衔接题。根据上文Whether you're a full-time student or an employee,you probably know the feeling of needing to fulfill obligations immediately(无论你是全职学生还是员工,你可能都有那种需要立即履行责任的感觉)可知前文说需立即履行责任的感受,后文Luckily,there are some easy ways to increase your concentration in your daily life.(幸运的是,在日常生活中,有一些简单的方法可以提高你的专注力。)讲提升专注力的方法,此句应衔接这种感受的结果,C选项It probably leaves you unable to stay focused(这可能会让你无法保持专注)符合,故选C。
( 2)联系下文题。根据下文Because too much responsibility can stop you from completing the most important tasks at hand(因为太多的责任会阻碍你完成手头最重要的任务)可知后文解释太多责任的弊端,A选项Avoid being in all types of business(避免涉足所有事务)是提出的建议,符合逻辑,故选A。
( 3)联系上文题。根据上文 This rule may sound pretty specific(这个规则听起来可能很具体)可知前文说80/20法则听起来具体,B选项But it applies to every side of our lives(但它适用于我们生活的方方面面)表转折,说明其适用范围广,衔接自然,故选B。
( 4)联系上文题。根据上文Focusing on one task at a time will help you think more deeply and creatively(一次专注于一项任务会帮助你更深入、更有创造性地思考)可知前文讲一次专注一项任务的好处,F选项Besides,not everything needs your attention immediately(此外,不是所有事情都需要你立即关注)是补充说明,故选F。
( 5)联系上文题。根据上文use these tips to help you in your daily life(在日常生活中使用这些技巧来帮助你)可知前文说使用这些技巧,G选项You can find them helpful in reducing your stress from work or study(你会发现它们有助于减轻你工作或学习的压力)说明技巧的作用,衔接合理,故选G。
本文是一篇说明文,介绍人们常因事务繁多难以专注,给出了如优先处理重要任务、运用 80/20 法则等提升专注力的方法,助人们更从容生活。

语法填空
【解析】(1)考查定语从句。句意:它最显著的特点是清新自然的绿色,这种颜色来自野生绿色植物或青草汁,赋予青团淡雅清新的草本香气。此处引导非限制性定语从句,指代前文整句话内容,从句中作主语,所以用关系代词which,故填which。
(2)考查副词。句意:青团主要由糯米粉和新鲜植物制成,口感软糯有嚼劲。此处修饰介词短语,需用副词,primary的副词形式为primarily意为"主要地",故填primarily。
(3)考查介词。句意:它通常包裹着香甜的红豆沙、香浓的黑芝麻,或是如今愈发流行的咸蛋黄馅料。固定搭配be filled with,意为"充满;包裹有",所以此处为介词with,故填with。
(4)考查谓语动词时态和语态以及主谓一致。句意:制作过程十分讲究:新鲜叶子经过焯水、捶打、挤压取汁,随后再与糯米粉精心混合揉成光滑的面团。此处为谓语动词,描述客观制作流程,用一般现在时,主语fresh leaves与boil之间为被动关系,所以用一般现在时的被动语态,且主语为名词复数,be动词应用are,故填are boiled。
(5)考查动词不定式。句意:制作过程十分讲究:新鲜叶子经过焯水、捶打、挤压取汁,随后再与糯米粉精心混合揉成光滑的面团。此处为非谓语动词作状语,表示混合米粉的目的是揉成面团,所以用动词不定式to form作目的状语,故填to form。
(6)考查过去分词。句意:面团包入馅料,捏成圆球,蒸熟后色泽光亮、口感软糯。此处为非谓语动词作并列状语,dough与shape之间为被动关系,所以用过去分词shaped,故填shaped。
(7)考查谓语动词时态和主谓一致。句意:除了美味的口感,青团还承载着丰富的文化内涵。此处为谓语动词,描述客观事实,用一般现在时,主语qingtuan是第三人称单数,故填carries。
(8)考查名词。句意:它象征着春天的到来、对先人的缅怀以及传统习俗的传承。定冠词the后接名词作宾语,arrive的名词形式为arrival意为"到达",是不可数名词,故填arrival。
(9)考查形容词。句意:对中国人而言,它不仅是时令美食,更是一种文化符号。此处修饰名词delicacy,需用形容词,season的形容词形式为seasonal意为"时令的、季节性的",故填seasonal。
(10)考查冠词。句意:对中国人而言,它不仅是时令美食,更是一种联结人与自然、历史与春日温情的文化符号。cultural symbol为可数名词单数,空前无限定词,结合句意,此处表示"一种文化符号"为泛指,且cultural是以辅音音素开头的单词,所以用不定冠词a,故填a。
主要介绍中国传统小吃青团的原料、制作工艺、口味特点以及其承载的春日寓意与文化内涵。
语法填空考查学生英语综合知识的运用,做题时要首先明确短文大意,从词汇和语法等方面综合考虑,结合上下文语境填写正确答案。
