Dear Jim,
I’m thrilled to hear that you’re participating in the speech contest themed “Youth Action on Global Warming”.
For your speech, I suggest focusing on practical daily actions youth can take, like reducing plastic use and promoting tree planting. These actions are easy to implement and have a significant impact on reducing carbon emissions. By highlighting these simple yet effective measures, you can inspire your peers to join the global efforts against climate change. It’s crucial for us, the youth, to lead by example and show that everyone can contribute to a sustainable future.
Best of luck with your speech!
Yours,
Li Hua

B(2024-2025西城区高二第二学期期末)
I’ve always been a daring risk taker. But when I was 15, my luck ran out. A horseback riding accident resulted in severe injuries, the death of my beloved horse Spooks, and the horrible news that I’d never ride again. I was set on proving the doctors wrong. Just a few months later, with my mother’s support, I rode sidesaddle and won my first jumping competition. The excitement was incredible.
From then on, I committed my life to adventure, remembering my mother’s lesson: never say, “I can’t”. At 22, I read about an opening to be a motorcycle trick rider — I’d learned to ride a few years earlier. Still, it was 1976 and I knew they were unlikely to hire a woman. I thought about that as I signed my trick rider application, leaving off the honorific — Ms., hoping to hide the fact that I was a woman. But they never got back to me.
I was heartbroken. Maybe the position had already been filled; maybe they’d discovered I was a woman. My friend Steve then proposed an idea that at first seemed crazy: learning to fly aeroplanes. “Flying is for men,” I laughed at the idea. But gradually, I realized the suggestion had stuck with me.
Years ago, trial flights — brief introductory sessions with an instructor — cost just £5 for 15 minutes in the air. Steve and I both signed up, and after my first session, I couldn’t stop talking about flying. I got my license and headed for the US to work as a pilot. It wasn’t easy. Initially, people were doubtful about a woman working in the role, but I ended up outperforming my male colleagues. Twenty years later, I returned to England and started my own flying company.
Now, I live a quieter life. I’ve settled in a village in Lincolnshire, spending much of my time volunteering in care homes. Last October, after nearly fifty years and countless adventures, I received a letter from a post office in Staines. It was my trick rider application. The post office apologized for the delay and explained it had been found stuck behind a drawer in the office — the company never received it.
Looking back, I realized that even though I didn’t get that job, it led me to a series of adventures that shaped my life in unexpected and fulfilling ways.
24. What did winning the jumping competition bring to the writer?
A. The faith in friendship. B. The acquisition of a new skill.
C. The recognition of mother’s love. D. The determination to go adventuring.
25. How did the writer feel at first when Steve suggested learning to fly?
A. Doubtful. B. Inspired. C. Desperate. D. Curious.
26. Why did the writer fail to receive any reply about the trick ride position?
A. Because she forgot to sign the application. B. Because her application was not delivered.
C. Because women were unfit for the position. D. Because the position had already been filled.
27. What can we learn from this passage?
A. Smart plans make big dreams. B. The best journeys are not mapped.
C. Doubt kills more goals than failure. D. Strong women create strong societies.
C(2024-2025西城区第十五中学高二第二学期期中)
Humans’ overconsumption of resources is a leading contributor to global climate change, says University of Arizona researcher Sabrina Helm. Therefore, it’s increasingly important to understand the choices consumers make and how those decisions affect the health of a planet with limited resources. In a new study, published in the journal Young Consumers, Helm and her colleagues explore how materialistic values influence pro-environmental behaviors in millennials, who are now the nation’s most influential group of consumers.
The researchers focused on two main categories of pro-environmental behaviors: reduced consumption, which includes actions like repairing instead of replacing older items; and “green buying,” or purchasing products designed to limit environmental impacts. The researchers also looked at how engaging in pro-environmental behaviors affects consumer well-being.
More materialistic participants, the researchers found, were unlikely to engage in reduced consumption. However, materialism did not seem to have an effect on their likelihood of practicing “green buying.” That’s probably because “green buying,” unlike reduced consumption, still offers a way for materialists to fulfill their desire to get new items, Helm said.
Study participants who reported having fewer materialistic values were much more likely to engage in reduced consumption. Consuming less was, in turn, linked to higher personal well-being and lower psychological suffering. Green buying—which may have some positive environmental effects, although to a smaller degree than reduced consumption—was not found to improve consumer well-being, Helm said.
The take-home message for consumers: “The key is to reduce consumption and not just buy green stuff. Having less and buying less can actually make us more satisfied and happier,” Helm said. “If you have a lot of stuff, you have a lot on your mind,” she said. “For example, it requires maintenance and there’s a lot of burdens of ownership, and if you relieve yourself of that burden of ownership, most people report feeling a lot better and freer.”
Helm and her colleagues additionally looked at how materialism affects millennial consumers’ proactive financial behaviors, such as budgeting and saving. Examining financial behaviors alongside pro-environmental behaviors provides a picture of how young adults proactively deal with resource limitations in two contexts: environmental and financial, Helm said.
As expected, Helm and her colleagues found that those who reported having more materialistic values engaged in fewer proactive financial behaviors than their less materialistic counterparts (对应的人). The researchers also found that, consistent with previous studies, proactive financial behaviors were associated with better personal well-being, life satisfaction and financial satisfaction, as well as lower psychological suffering.
Understanding how materialistic values impact consumer behaviors, and how those behaviors in turn affect personal and environmental well-being, is important, Helm said. However, she acknowledges that for many consumers, shifting behaviors to be more financially proactive and consume less will be challenging.
28. What do we know about pro-environmental behaviors?
A. They are affected by materialism. B. They lead to a more satisfying life.
C. They vary in different age groups. D. They are a cause of climate change.
29. It can be learned from Helm’s study that ________.
A. ownership of green products brings a sense of happiness
B. materialists prefer practicing green buying to buying less
C. green buying helps control people’s desire to buy new items
D. buying less and green buying have similar effects on people
30. According to the study, which of the following can improve one’s well-being?
A. Replacing older items. B. Developing new resources.
C. Buying greener products. D. Being careful with expenses.
31. What is Helm probably going to explain in the next paragraph?
A. When people develop proactive financial behaviors.
B. Which financial behaviors lead to mental well-being.
C. Why it is hard to change people’s financial behaviors.
D. How materialistic values influence financial behaviors.
D(2024-2025东城区第十五中学高二第二学期期末)
Cultural heritage is the symbol of our shared human history, including artifacts, traditions, languages, and knowledge that have been passed down through generations. Preserving and safeguarding cultural heritage has always been a critical mission. In the digital era, the mission has become a vital concern. Digitization of cultural content, such as museum collections or libraries, digital broadcasting of artistic performances, or digital born art and heritage are happening at a fast pace.
While experiencing remarkable growth, the digital transformation presents unique challenges, such as the concerns about the cases where digital files may become unreadable or unusable due to outdated formats or hardware. However, this is not the biggest issue we encounter. The emergence of new digital cultural content has highlighted the limitations of existing intellectual property rights (IPR) systems in effectively handling the challenges posed by the digital era.
In Europe, for instance, with the booming development of the digital gaming industry, some culture-related cases have raised specific IPR questions. Experts wonder if user-generated content from. digital games creates new copyright. The game itself is most often protected by copyright, but user-generated content, such as avatars (虚拟角色) created by players, is not necessarily covered by existing copyright laws. Another example is the inking culture of tattooing. In UK laws, an original tattoo is copyrightable work; however, it seems not to be the case for AI-generated tattoos. Both cases may lead to debates over ownership. As a result, museums often avoid sharing collections online due to a “chilling effect” — the fear of facing legal problems, like being responsible for breaking copyright laws, contract laws, or data protection rules.
Cultural heritage preservation lies in striking a delicate balance between conservation of the past and transition to the future. The rapid advancements in technology offer exciting opportunities for digitizing, documenting, and preserving cultural heritage, providing broader access and immersive (沉浸式) experiences for global audiences, present and future. Furthermore, in the face of climate change, protecting cultural heritage becomes urgent as the world faces increasingly severe environmental challenges. Rising sea levels, extreme weather events, and temperature fluctuations threaten to destroy cultural artifacts and heritage sites. Since digital copies can serve as disaster backups (备份) to address climate-related damage, protecting cultural sites from climate change goes hand in hand with safeguarding heritage’s digital copies.
All of these call for a balance between innovation and the preservation of cultural heritage’s authenticity and integrity, which necessitates respect for the variety of copyrights, management of rights and authorizations, and clear usage and access policies. Only by tackling the complex challenges posed by digitization can we ensure technology enriches rather than endangers our shared history.
32. What situation may result from the “chilling effect” mentioned in the passage?
A. Museums refuse to display the original items of cultural artifacts.
B. Galleries tighten the policies for e-format culture exchanges.
C. Libraries restrict access to digital books on culture relics.
D. Schools offer less cultural heritage-related courses.
33. What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A. The necessity of protecting cultural heritage in digital forms.
B. The significance of protecting cultural relics from natural damage.
C. The possibility of using technology in cultural heritage preservation.
D. The barrier of achieving both conservation and transition at the same time.
34. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To analyse the origins of current challenges. B. To promote the use of modern technology.
C. To advocate addressing existing issues. D. To explore the impact of innovation on tradition.

Sometimes it helps to have a “poker face”, an expression on your face that does not show what you are thinking or feeling. ____35____ Our research shows that moving your face in some way may help people warm to you more.
To understand why facial expressivity is so beneficial, we first need to emphasise just how crucial social bonding is to human survival. Throughout most of our evolutionary history, our species has relied on tight-knit communities to keep ourselves fed, sheltered, and protected from dangerous outsiders. ____36____ Any skill or behaviour that improved someone’s ability to create and maintain lifesaving bonds was likely to exist in our gene pool over the generations. And our research suggests that facial expressivity may fall in this category.
____37____ Imagine meeting someone new and trying to figure out how good a fit they might be as a friend, or a colleague. You might wonder whether you can trust them, and whether you can even begin to understand each other. Someone who is easier to read may seem to be more appealing than someone who is more guarded. Simply put, being facially expressive may give others a sense that they understand you, which they like. This in turn supports the suggestion that the key function of facial expressivity is to make us more predictable.
Furthermore, we found that participants’ level of expressivity didn’t change across situations or with different social partners. This finding may leave you wondering why some people remain comparatively inexpressive across situations. ____38____ And there could be alternative routes to being an attractive social partner.
Clearly, regardless of how expressive we tend to be overall, we can also make choices about sharing more of ourselves in certain situations. Being more open and expressive may be scary — leaving people easy to be hurt. ____39____ So for now we think it’s best to leave your poker face at the card table.
A. However, our work shows that it comes with rewards.
B. Managing social relationships was a matter of life or death.
C. Interestingly, more agreeable people were more facially expressive.
D. For some, the costs of revealing oneself may outweigh the benefits.
E. You might guess that people with cheerful expressions are best liked.
F. Why would facial expressivity improve someone’s ability to build social bonds?
G. Yet, in day-to-day life, when socializing, you’d better let your facial features fly free.

In a time when the term “attention economy” is as common as the phones and computers that keep us looking at screens, every scroll, click, like, and share is not just a simple action. It’s a trade using the world’s most valuable “money”: our attention. This system views our focus as a limited resource that companies try to get and make money from. It has changed deeply how we interact with others, meaning we need to look closer at it—not just see it as a popular phrase.
Consider this: every moment of your day, from the minute you wake up to the second you fall asleep, is a series of decisions about where to assign your attention. When we direct our focus towards one activity, we inherently dismiss countless others. These daily choices define our lives, shaping our relationships, knowledge, health, and happiness.
The attention economy is a double-edged sword. On one side, it offers a tailored world where our preferences and interests guide the content and opportunities presented to us. On the other, it poses significant challenges that threaten to weaken the quality of our attention, our relationships, and our understanding of the world. As we move forward, the task at hand is not just to handle the attention economy but to reshape it in a way that respects and enriches our most precious resource: our attention.
To overcome the challenges, I can ask my family what caught their attention on social media today, sparking a conversation that bridges our digital divide. By paying attention to what we pay attention to, we not only enrich our own lives but also strengthen the bonds that connect us to one another.
40. What do our daily choices do to our lives?
__________________________________________________________________________
41. How can the author overcome the challenges that the attention economy poses?
__________________________________________________________________________
42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
▶Moving ahead, our primary challenge is not merely to handle the attention economy but to reshape it in a way that saves our most precious resource: our attention.

【11题详解】
考查副词。句意:她的邻居Lily好心地站出来,承担了所有的植物浇水和除草工作。修饰动词stepped up,应用kind的副词形式kindly作状语,意为“好心地”。故填kindly。
【12题详解】
考查时态语态及主谓一致。句意:Grace康复后,被Lily的善良所感动。分析句子结构可知,空处为句子的谓语,根据上文When Grace recovered可知,句子描述的是过去的情况,应用一般过去时,touch和主语she之间为被动关系,应用被动语态,且主语she为第三人称单数,be动词应用was。故填was touched。
【13题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:随着时间的推移,花园里种满了她们一起种的花,成为了她们友谊的象征。分析句子结构可知,句中已有谓语动词became,且无其它连词,所以fill应用非谓语动词形式,因其与逻辑主语the garden之间为被动关系,所以应用过去分词形式作后置定语。故填filled。

B(2024-2025西城区高二第二学期期末)
I’ve always been a daring risk taker. But when I was 15, my luck ran out. A horseback riding accident resulted in severe injuries, the death of my beloved horse Spooks, and the horrible news that I’d never ride again. I was set on proving the doctors wrong. Just a few months later, with my mother’s support, I rode sidesaddle and won my first jumping competition. The excitement was incredible.
From then on, I committed my life to adventure, remembering my mother’s lesson: never say, “I can’t”. At 22, I read about an opening to be a motorcycle trick rider — I’d learned to ride a few years earlier. Still, it was 1976 and I knew they were unlikely to hire a woman. I thought about that as I signed my trick rider application, leaving off the honorific — Ms., hoping to hide the fact that I was a woman. But they never got back to me.
I was heartbroken. Maybe the position had already been filled; maybe they’d discovered I was a woman. My friend Steve then proposed an idea that at first seemed crazy: learning to fly aeroplanes. “Flying is for men,” I laughed at the idea. But gradually, I realized the suggestion had stuck with me.
Years ago, trial flights — brief introductory sessions with an instructor — cost just £5 for 15 minutes in the air. Steve and I both signed up, and after my first session, I couldn’t stop talking about flying. I got my license and headed for the US to work as a pilot. It wasn’t easy. Initially, people were doubtful about a woman working in the role, but I ended up outperforming my male colleagues. Twenty years later, I returned to England and started my own flying company.
Now, I live a quieter life. I’ve settled in a village in Lincolnshire, spending much of my time volunteering in care homes. Last October, after nearly fifty years and countless adventures, I received a letter from a post office in Staines. It was my trick rider application. The post office apologized for the delay and explained it had been found stuck behind a drawer in the office — the company never received it.
Looking back, I realized that even though I didn’t get that job, it led me to a series of adventures that shaped my life in unexpected and fulfilling ways.
24. What did winning the jumping competition bring to the writer?
A. The faith in friendship. B. The acquisition of a new skill.
C. The recognition of mother’s love. D. The determination to go adventuring.
25. How did the writer feel at first when Steve suggested learning to fly?
A. Doubtful. B. Inspired. C. Desperate. D. Curious.
26. Why did the writer fail to receive any reply about the trick ride position?
A. Because she forgot to sign the application. B. Because her application was not delivered.
C. Because women were unfit for the position. D. Because the position had already been filled.
27. What can we learn from this passage?
A. Smart plans make big dreams. B. The best journeys are not mapped.
C. Doubt kills more goals than failure. D. Strong women create strong societies.
【答案】24. D 25. A 26. B 27. B

C(2024-2025西城区第十五中学高二第二学期期中)
Humans’ overconsumption of resources is a leading contributor to global climate change, says University of Arizona researcher Sabrina Helm. Therefore, it’s increasingly important to understand the choices consumers make and how those decisions affect the health of a planet with limited resources. In a new study, published in the journal Young Consumers, Helm and her colleagues explore how materialistic values influence pro-environmental behaviors in millennials, who are now the nation’s most influential group of consumers.
The researchers focused on two main categories of pro-environmental behaviors: reduced consumption, which includes actions like repairing instead of replacing older items; and “green buying,” or purchasing products designed to limit environmental impacts. The researchers also looked at how engaging in pro-environmental behaviors affects consumer well-being.
More materialistic participants, the researchers found, were unlikely to engage in reduced consumption. However, materialism did not seem to have an effect on their likelihood of practicing “green buying.” That’s probably because “green buying,” unlike reduced consumption, still offers a way for materialists to fulfill their desire to get new items, Helm said.
Study participants who reported having fewer materialistic values were much more likely to engage in reduced consumption. Consuming less was, in turn, linked to higher personal well-being and lower psychological suffering. Green buying—which may have some positive environmental effects, although to a smaller degree than reduced consumption—was not found to improve consumer well-being, Helm said.
The take-home message for consumers: “The key is to reduce consumption and not just buy green stuff. Having less and buying less can actually make us more satisfied and happier,” Helm said. “If you have a lot of stuff, you have a lot on your mind,” she said. “For example, it requires maintenance and there’s a lot of burdens of ownership, and if you relieve yourself of that burden of ownership, most people report feeling a lot better and freer.”
Helm and her colleagues additionally looked at how materialism affects millennial consumers’ proactive financial behaviors, such as budgeting and saving. Examining financial behaviors alongside pro-environmental behaviors provides a picture of how young adults proactively deal with resource limitations in two contexts: environmental and financial, Helm said.
As expected, Helm and her colleagues found that those who reported having more materialistic values engaged in fewer proactive financial behaviors than their less materialistic counterparts (对应的人). The researchers also found that, consistent with previous studies, proactive financial behaviors were associated with better personal well-being, life satisfaction and financial satisfaction, as well as lower psychological suffering.
Understanding how materialistic values impact consumer behaviors, and how those behaviors in turn affect personal and environmental well-being, is important, Helm said. However, she acknowledges that for many consumers, shifting behaviors to be more financially proactive and consume less will be challenging.
28. What do we know about pro-environmental behaviors?
A. They are affected by materialism. B. They lead to a more satisfying life.
C. They vary in different age groups. D. They are a cause of climate change.
29. It can be learned from Helm’s study that ________.
A. ownership of green products brings a sense of happiness
B. materialists prefer practicing green buying to buying less
C. green buying helps control people’s desire to buy new items
D. buying less and green buying have similar effects on people
30. According to the study, which of the following can improve one’s well-being?
A. Replacing older items. B. Developing new resources.
C. Buying greener products. D. Being careful with expenses.
31. What is Helm probably going to explain in the next paragraph?
A. When people develop proactive financial behaviors.
B. Which financial behaviors lead to mental well-being.
C. Why it is hard to change people’s financial behaviors.
D. How materialistic values influence financial behaviors.
【答案】28. A 29. B 30. D 31. C
【解析】本文是说明文,说明了物质主义消费观对环保行为的影响以及与个体幸福感之间的关系。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一自然段中“Helm and her colleagues explore how materialistic values influence pro-environmental behaviors in millennials,...”(Helm和她的同事探索了物质主义价值观如何影响千禧一代的环保行为,……)可知,materialistic values即materialism对pro-environmental behaviors有影响。故选A项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三自然段中“More materialistic participants,…, were unlikely to engage in reduced consumption. However, materialism did not seem to have an effect on their likelihood of practicing “green buying.””(更崇尚物质的参与者不太可能减少消费。然而,物质主义似乎对他们进行“绿色购买”的可能性没有影响。)可知,物质主义者不太可能减少消费,但他们愿意 “绿色购买”。故选B项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四自然段中“Consuming less was, in turn, linked to higher personal well-being and lower psychological suffering.”(反之,消费越少,个人幸福感越高,心理痛苦越少。)可知不崇尚物质,消费少的个体幸福感更高,因此“Being careful with expenses”也就是精打细算的人更幸福。故选D项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。在末段尾句“However, she acknowledges that for many consumers, shifting behaviors to be more financially proactive and consume less will be challenging.”(不过,她也承认,对许多消费者来说,改变消费行为,在财务上更加主动,减少消费将是一个挑战。)中作者说改变消费行为很难,按逻辑推理可知下一段中会解释为什么难。故选C项。
D(2024-2025东城区第十五中学高二第二学期期末)
Cultural heritage is the symbol of our shared human history, including artifacts, traditions, languages, and knowledge that have been passed down through generations. Preserving and safeguarding cultural heritage has always been a critical mission. In the digital era, the mission has become a vital concern. Digitization of cultural content, such as museum collections or libraries, digital broadcasting of artistic performances, or digital born art and heritage are happening at a fast pace.
While experiencing remarkable growth, the digital transformation presents unique challenges, such as the concerns about the cases where digital files may become unreadable or unusable due to outdated formats or hardware. However, this is not the biggest issue we encounter. The emergence of new digital cultural content has highlighted the limitations of existing intellectual property rights (IPR) systems in effectively handling the challenges posed by the digital era.
In Europe, for instance, with the booming development of the digital gaming industry, some culture-related cases have raised specific IPR questions. Experts wonder if user-generated content from. digital games creates new copyright. The game itself is most often protected by copyright, but user-generated content, such as avatars (虚拟角色) created by players, is not necessarily covered by existing copyright laws. Another example is the inking culture of tattooing. In UK laws, an original tattoo is copyrightable work; however, it seems not to be the case for AI-generated tattoos. Both cases may lead to debates over ownership. As a result, museums often avoid sharing collections online due to a “chilling effect” — the fear of facing legal problems, like being responsible for breaking copyright laws, contract laws, or data protection rules.
Cultural heritage preservation lies in striking a delicate balance between conservation of the past and transition to the future. The rapid advancements in technology offer exciting opportunities for digitizing, documenting, and preserving cultural heritage, providing broader access and immersive (沉浸式) experiences for global audiences, present and future. Furthermore, in the face of climate change, protecting cultural heritage becomes urgent as the world faces increasingly severe environmental challenges. Rising sea levels, extreme weather events, and temperature fluctuations threaten to destroy cultural artifacts and heritage sites. Since digital copies can serve as disaster backups (备份) to address climate-related damage, protecting cultural sites from climate change goes hand in hand with safeguarding heritage’s digital copies.
All of these call for a balance between innovation and the preservation of cultural heritage’s authenticity and integrity, which necessitates respect for the variety of copyrights, management of rights and authorizations, and clear usage and access policies. Only by tackling the complex challenges posed by digitization can we ensure technology enriches rather than endangers our shared history.
32. What situation may result from the “chilling effect” mentioned in the passage?
A. Museums refuse to display the original items of cultural artifacts.
B. Galleries tighten the policies for e-format culture exchanges.
C. Libraries restrict access to digital books on culture relics.
D. Schools offer less cultural heritage-related courses.
33. What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A. The necessity of protecting cultural heritage in digital forms.
B. The significance of protecting cultural relics from natural damage.
C. The possibility of using technology in cultural heritage preservation.
D. The barrier of achieving both conservation and transition at the same time.
34. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To analyse the origins of current challenges. B. To promote the use of modern technology.
C. To advocate addressing existing issues. D. To explore the impact of innovation on tradition.
【答案】32. B 33. A 34. C
【解析】本文是一篇说明文。主要探讨数字时代文化遗产保护面临的挑战及平衡创新与保护的必要性。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“As a result, museums often avoid sharing collections online due to a “chilling effect” — the fear of facing legal problems, like being responsible for breaking copyright laws, contract laws, or data protection rules.(因此,由于“寒蝉效应”——害怕面临法律问题,如对违反版权法、合同法或数据保护规则负责,博物馆往往避免在网上分享藏品。)”可知,“寒蝉效应”可能导致美术馆收紧电子形式文化交流的政策。故选B项。
【33题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段中的“The rapid advancements in technology offer exciting opportunities for digitizing, documenting, and preserving cultural heritage, providing broader access and immersive (沉浸式) experiences for global audiences, present and future.(技术的快速发展为数字化、记录和保护文化遗产提供了令人兴奋的机会,为全球观众、现在和未来提供了更广泛的访问和沉浸式体验)”和“Since digital copies can serve as disaster backups to address climate-related damage, protecting cultural sites from climate change goes hand in hand with safeguarding heritage’s digital copies.(由于数字副本可以作为应对气候相关损害的灾难备份,保护文化遗址免受气候变化影响与保护遗产的数字副本相辅相成。)”可知,第四段主要讲述以数字形式保护文化遗产的必要性。故选A项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是最后一段中的“All of these call for a balance between innovation and the preservation of cultural heritage’s authenticity and integrity, which necessitates respect for the variety of copyrights, management of rights and authorizations, and clear usage and access policies. Only by tackling the complex challenges posed by digitization can we ensure technology enriches rather than endangers our shared history.(所有这些都要求在创新与保护文化遗产的真实性和完整性之间取得平衡,这需要尊重各种版权,管理权利和授权,并制定明确的使用和获取政策。只有应对数字化带来的复杂挑战,我们才能确保技术丰富而不是危害我们共同的历史。)”可知,文章的主要目的是倡导解决当前数字时代文化遗产保护存在的问题。故选C项。

Sometimes it helps to have a “poker face”, an expression on your face that does not show what you are thinking or feeling. ____35____ Our research shows that moving your face in some way may help people warm to you more.
To understand why facial expressivity is so beneficial, we first need to emphasise just how crucial social bonding is to human survival. Throughout most of our evolutionary history, our species has relied on tight-knit communities to keep ourselves fed, sheltered, and protected from dangerous outsiders. ____36____ Any skill or behaviour that improved someone’s ability to create and maintain lifesaving bonds was likely to exist in our gene pool over the generations. And our research suggests that facial expressivity may fall in this category.
____37____ Imagine meeting someone new and trying to figure out how good a fit they might be as a friend, or a colleague. You might wonder whether you can trust them, and whether you can even begin to understand each other. Someone who is easier to read may seem to be more appealing than someone who is more guarded. Simply put, being facially expressive may give others a sense that they understand you, which they like. This in turn supports the suggestion that the key function of facial expressivity is to make us more predictable.
Furthermore, we found that participants’ level of expressivity didn’t change across situations or with different social partners. This finding may leave you wondering why some people remain comparatively inexpressive across situations. ____38____ And there could be alternative routes to being an attractive social partner.
Clearly, regardless of how expressive we tend to be overall, we can also make choices about sharing more of ourselves in certain situations. Being more open and expressive may be scary — leaving people easy to be hurt. ____39____ So for now we think it’s best to leave your poker face at the card table.
A. However, our work shows that it comes with rewards.
B. Managing social relationships was a matter of life or death.
C. Interestingly, more agreeable people were more facially expressive.
D. For some, the costs of revealing oneself may outweigh the benefits.
E. You might guess that people with cheerful expressions are best liked.
F. Why would facial expressivity improve someone’s ability to build social bonds?
G. Yet, in day-to-day life, when socializing, you’d better let your facial features fly free.
【答案】35. G 36. B 37. F 38. D 39. A
【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了面部表情在社交互动中的重要性,指出面部表情丰富有助于建立和维持社交关系。
【35题详解】
由上文“Sometimes it helps to have a “poker face”, an expression on your face that does not show what you are thinking or feeling. (有时候,拥有一张“扑克脸”是有帮助的,这是一种不会显示出你在想什么或感觉什么的表情。)”及下文“Our research shows that moving your face in some way may help people warm to you more. (我们的研究表明,以某种方式移动你的脸可能有助于人们更加喜欢你。)”可知,这里需要一个句子来转折,引出面部表情丰富的好处。G选项“Yet, in day-to-day life, when socializing, you’d better let your facial features fly free. (然而,在日常生活中,当社交时,你最好让你的面部表情自由展现。)”是对上文“扑克脸”的转折,并引出下文关于面部表情丰富的好处,符合题意。故选G。
【36题详解】
由上文“Throughout most of our evolutionary history, our species has relied on tight-knit communities to keep ourselves fed, sheltered, and protected from dangerous outsiders. (在我们进化历史的大部分时间里,我们的物种都依赖紧密的社区来获取食物、庇护和保护自己免受危险的外来者的侵害。)”及下文“Any skill or behaviour that improved someone’s ability to create and maintain lifesaving bonds was likely to exist in our gene pool over the generations. (任何能够提高某人建立和维持救命关系的能力的技能或行为,都有可能在我们的基因库中代代相传。)”可知,本空应强调社交关系对人类生存的重要性。B选项“Managing social relationships was a matter of life or death. (管理社交关系是生死攸关的事情。)”是对上文内容的总结,并引出下文关于社交技能的重要性,符合题意。故选B。
【37题详解】
由下文“Imagine meeting someone new and trying to figure out how good a fit they might be as a friend, or a colleague.

(想象一下,你遇到一个新朋友或同事,试图弄清楚他们是否适合做朋友或同事。你可能会怀疑自己是否能信任他们,甚至是否能开始理解对方。一个更容易读懂的人可能比一个更谨慎的人更有吸引力。简而言之,面部表情丰富可能会让别人觉得他们理解你,这是他们喜欢的。这反过来又支持了这样一种观点,即面部表情的主要功能是使我们更可预测。)”可知,本空应强调面部表情与建立社交的关系。F选项“Why would facial expressivity improve someone’s ability to build social bonds? (为什么面部表情丰富会提高某人建立社交关系的能力?)”是用设问的方式概括本段主题,符合题意。故选F。
【38题详解】
由上文“Furthermore, we found that participants’ level of expressivity didn’t change across situations or with different social partners. This finding may leave you wondering why some people remain comparatively inexpressive across situations. (此外,我们发现参与者的表情丰富程度在不同情境或与不同社交伙伴相处时并没有变化。这一发现可能会让你想知道为什么有些人在不同情况下仍然相对缺乏表情。)”及下文“And there could be alternative routes to being an attractive social partner. (而且,成为有吸引力的社交伙伴可能有其他途径。)”可知,本空应解释为什么有些人在不同情况下仍然缺乏表情。D选项“For some, the costs of revealing oneself may outweigh the benefits. (对一些人来说,暴露自己的代价可能超过了好处。)”是对上文问题的解释,并引出下文关于成为有吸引力的社交伙伴的其他途径,符合题意。故选D。
【39题详解】
由上文“Clearly, regardless of how expressive we tend to be overall, we can also make choices about sharing more of ourselves in certain situations. Being more open and expressive may be scary—leaving people easy to be hurt. (显然,无论我们总体上倾向于多么富有表情,我们也可以选择在某些情况下更多地分享自己。更加开放和表达可能会让人害怕——容易让人受伤。)”及下文“So for now we think it’s best to leave your poker face at the card table. (所以目前我们认为最好还是把扑克脸留在牌桌上。)”可知,本空应转折说明尽管开放表达有风险,但仍有其价值。A选项“However, our work shows that it comes with rewards. (然而,我们的研究表明,它也有回报。)”可知,这里的it指的是上文的“Being more open and expressive”,虽然开放和表达有风险,但也有回报,符合题意。故选A。

(2024-2025北京市丰台区高二下学期期末)
In a time when the term “attention economy” is as common as the phones and computers that keep us looking at screens, every scroll, click, like, and share is not just a simple action. It’s a trade using the world’s most valuable “money”: our attention. This system views our focus as a limited resource that companies try to get and make money from. It has changed deeply how we interact with others, meaning we need to look closer at it—not just see it as a popular phrase.
Consider this: every moment of your day, from the minute you wake up to the second you fall asleep, is a series of decisions about where to assign your attention. When we direct our focus towards one activity, we inherently dismiss countless others. These daily choices define our lives, shaping our relationships, knowledge, health, and happiness.
The attention economy is a double-edged sword. On one side, it offers a tailored world where our preferences and interests guide the content and opportunities presented to us. On the other, it poses significant challenges that threaten to weaken the quality of our attention, our relationships, and our understanding of the world. As we move forward, the task at hand is not just to handle the attention economy but to reshape it in a way that respects and enriches our most precious resource: our attention.
To overcome the challenges, I can ask my family what caught their attention on social media today, sparking a conversation that bridges our digital divide. By paying attention to what we pay attention to, we not only enrich our own lives but also strengthen the bonds that connect us to one another.
40. What do our daily choices do to our lives?
__________________________________________________________________________
41. How can the author overcome the challenges that the attention economy poses?
__________________________________________________________________________
42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
▶Moving ahead, our primary challenge is not merely to handle the attention economy but to reshape it in a way that saves our most precious resource: our attention.
__________________________________________________________________________
43. How do your daily attention choices shape your life?
__________________________________________________________________________
【答案】40. They define our lives, shaping our relationships, knowledge, health, and happiness.
41. By asking his family what caught their attention on social media and sparking conversations.
42. 错误部分:saves our most precious resource理由:原文为“respects and enriches our most precious resource”,强调尊重与丰富而非拯救。
43. My daily attention choices determine what I engage with, which in turn affects my learning, social interactions and overall well-being. For example, focusing on reading enriches my knowledge.
【解析】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了“注意力经济”中,滑动、点击等操作都是注意力的交易,企业借此盈利,深刻改变人际互动。
【40题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第二段中“These daily choices define our lives. shaping our relationships, knowledge, health, and happiness.(这些日常的选择决定了我们的生活,塑造我们的关系,知识,健康,幸福。)”可知,我们的日常选择定义了我们的生活,塑造了我们的人际关系、知识、健康和幸福。故答案是:They define our lives, shaping our relationships, knowledge, health, and happiness.
【41题详解】
考查细节理解。根据最后一段中“To overcome the challenges, I can ask my family what caught their attention on social media today, sparking a conversation that bridges our digital divide.( 为了克服这些挑战,我可以问问我的家人,今天在社交媒体上什么引起了他们的注意,引发了一场对话,弥合了我们的数字鸿沟。)”可知,作者通过询问他的家人,什么在社交媒体上引起了他们的注意,并引发了对话来克服注意力经济带来的挑战。故答案是:By asking his family what caught their attention on social media and sparking conversations.
【42题详解】
考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段中“As we move forward, the task at hand is not just to handle the attention economy but to reshape it in a way that respects and enriches our most precious resource: our attention.( 随着我们的发展,眼前的任务不仅是处理好注意力经济,还要重塑它,以尊重和丰富我们最宝贵的资源:我们的注意力。)”可知,我们的主要挑战不仅是应对注意力经济,还要重塑它,以尊重和丰富我们最宝贵的资源:我们的注意力。所以原文错误部分:saves our most precious resource。理由:原文为“respects and enriches our most precious resource”,强调尊重与丰富而非拯救。故答案是:错误部分:saves our most precious resource理由:原文为“respects and enriches our most precious resource”,强调尊重与丰富而非拯救。
【43题详解】
考查主观评价。根据文章大意以及题干中的问题“你每天的注意力选择是如何塑造你的生活的?”可知,我每天的注意力选择决定了我参与的内容,这反过来又影响了我的学习、社会交往和整体幸福感。例如,专注于阅读丰富了我的知识。故答案是:My daily attention choices determine what I engage with, which in turn affects my learning, social interactions and overall well-being. For example, focusing on reading enriches my knowledge.

B(2024-2025西城区高二第二学期期末)
I’ve always been a daring risk taker. But when I was 15, my luck ran out. A horseback riding accident resulted in severe injuries, the death of my beloved horse Spooks, and the horrible news that I’d never ride again. I was set on proving the doctors wrong. Just a few months later, with my mother’s support, I rode sidesaddle and won my first jumping competition. The excitement was incredible.
From then on, I committed my life to adventure, remembering my mother’s lesson: never say, “I can’t”. At 22, I read about an opening to be a motorcycle trick rider — I’d learned to ride a few years earlier. Still, it was 1976 and I knew they were unlikely to hire a woman. I thought about that as I signed my trick rider application, leaving off the honorific — Ms., hoping to hide the fact that I was a woman. But they never got back to me.
I was heartbroken. Maybe the position had already been filled; maybe they’d discovered I was a woman. My friend Steve then proposed an idea that at first seemed crazy: learning to fly aeroplanes. “Flying is for men,” I laughed at the idea. But gradually, I realized the suggestion had stuck with me.
Years ago, trial flights — brief introductory sessions with an instructor — cost just £5 for 15 minutes in the air. Steve and I both signed up, and after my first session, I couldn’t stop talking about flying. I got my license and headed for the US to work as a pilot. It wasn’t easy. Initially, people were doubtful about a woman working in the role, but I ended up outperforming my male colleagues. Twenty years later, I returned to England and started my own flying company.
Now, I live a quieter life. I’ve settled in a village in Lincolnshire, spending much of my time volunteering in care homes. Last October, after nearly fifty years and countless adventures, I received a letter from a post office in Staines. It was my trick rider application. The post office apologized for the delay and explained it had been found stuck behind a drawer in the office — the company never received it.
Looking back, I realized that even though I didn’t get that job, it led me to a series of adventures that shaped my life in unexpected and fulfilling ways.
24. What did winning the jumping competition bring to the writer?
A. The faith in friendship. B. The acquisition of a new skill.
C. The recognition of mother’s love. D. The determination to go adventuring.
25. How did the writer feel at first when Steve suggested learning to fly?
A. Doubtful. B. Inspired. C. Desperate. D. Curious.
26. Why did the writer fail to receive any reply about the trick ride position?
A. Because she forgot to sign the application. B. Because her application was not delivered.
C. Because women were unfit for the position. D. Because the position had already been filled.
27. What can we learn from this passage?
A. Smart plans make big dreams. B. The best journeys are not mapped.
C. Doubt kills more goals than failure. D. Strong women create strong societies.
C(2024-2025西城区第十五中学高二第二学期期中)
Humans’ overconsumption of resources is a leading contributor to global climate change, says University of Arizona researcher Sabrina Helm. Therefore, it’s increasingly important to understand the choices consumers make and how those decisions affect the health of a planet with limited resources. In a new study, published in the journal Young Consumers, Helm and her colleagues explore how materialistic values influence pro-environmental behaviors in millennials, who are now the nation’s most influential group of consumers.
The researchers focused on two main categories of pro-environmental behaviors: reduced consumption, which includes actions like repairing instead of replacing older items; and “green buying,” or purchasing products designed to limit environmental impacts. The researchers also looked at how engaging in pro-environmental behaviors affects consumer well-being.
More materialistic participants, the researchers found, were unlikely to engage in reduced consumption. However, materialism did not seem to have an effect on their likelihood of practicing “green buying.” That’s probably because “green buying,” unlike reduced consumption, still offers a way for materialists to fulfill their desire to get new items, Helm said.
Study participants who reported having fewer materialistic values were much more likely to engage in reduced consumption. Consuming less was, in turn, linked to higher personal well-being and lower psychological suffering. Green buying—which may have some positive environmental effects, although to a smaller degree than reduced consumption—was not found to improve consumer well-being, Helm said.
The take-home message for consumers: “The key is to reduce consumption and not just buy green stuff. Having less and buying less can actually make us more satisfied and happier,” Helm said. “If you have a lot of stuff, you have a lot on your mind,” she said. “For example, it requires maintenance and there’s a lot of burdens of ownership, and if you relieve yourself of that burden of ownership, most people report feeling a lot better and freer.”
Helm and her colleagues additionally looked at how materialism affects millennial consumers’ proactive financial behaviors, such as budgeting and saving. Examining financial behaviors alongside pro-environmental behaviors provides a picture of how young adults proactively deal with resource limitations in two contexts: environmental and financial, Helm said.
As expected, Helm and her colleagues found that those who reported having more materialistic values engaged in fewer proactive financial behaviors than their less materialistic counterparts (对应的人). The researchers also found that, consistent with previous studies, proactive financial behaviors were associated with better personal well-being, life satisfaction and financial satisfaction, as well as lower psychological suffering.
Understanding how materialistic values impact consumer behaviors, and how those behaviors in turn affect personal and environmental well-being, is important, Helm said. However, she acknowledges that for many consumers, shifting behaviors to be more financially proactive and consume less will be challenging.
28. What do we know about pro-environmental behaviors?
A. They are affected by materialism. B. They lead to a more satisfying life.
C. They vary in different age groups. D. They are a cause of climate change.
29. It can be learned from Helm’s study that ________.
A. ownership of green products brings a sense of happiness
B. materialists prefer practicing green buying to buying less
C. green buying helps control people’s desire to buy new items
D. buying less and green buying have similar effects on people
30. According to the study, which of the following can improve one’s well-being?
A. Replacing older items. B. Developing new resources.
C. Buying greener products. D. Being careful with expenses.
31. What is Helm probably going to explain in the next paragraph?
A. When people develop proactive financial behaviors.
B. Which financial behaviors lead to mental well-being.
C. Why it is hard to change people’s financial behaviors.
D. How materialistic values influence financial behaviors.
D(2024-2025东城区第十五中学高二第二学期期末)
Cultural heritage is the symbol of our shared human history, including artifacts, traditions, languages, and knowledge that have been passed down through generations. Preserving and safeguarding cultural heritage has always been a critical mission. In the digital era, the mission has become a vital concern. Digitization of cultural content, such as museum collections or libraries, digital broadcasting of artistic performances, or digital born art and heritage are happening at a fast pace.
While experiencing remarkable growth, the digital transformation presents unique challenges, such as the concerns about the cases where digital files may become unreadable or unusable due to outdated formats or hardware. However, this is not the biggest issue we encounter. The emergence of new digital cultural content has highlighted the limitations of existing intellectual property rights (IPR) systems in effectively handling the challenges posed by the digital era.
In Europe, for instance, with the booming development of the digital gaming industry, some culture-related cases have raised specific IPR questions. Experts wonder if user-generated content from. digital games creates new copyright. The game itself is most often protected by copyright, but user-generated content, such as avatars (虚拟角色) created by players, is not necessarily covered by existing copyright laws. Another example is the inking culture of tattooing. In UK laws, an original tattoo is copyrightable work; however, it seems not to be the case for AI-generated tattoos. Both cases may lead to debates over ownership. As a result, museums often avoid sharing collections online due to a “chilling effect” — the fear of facing legal problems, like being responsible for breaking copyright laws, contract laws, or data protection rules.
Cultural heritage preservation lies in striking a delicate balance between conservation of the past and transition to the future. The rapid advancements in technology offer exciting opportunities for digitizing, documenting, and preserving cultural heritage, providing broader access and immersive (沉浸式) experiences for global audiences, present and future. Furthermore, in the face of climate change, protecting cultural heritage becomes urgent as the world faces increasingly severe environmental challenges. Rising sea levels, extreme weather events, and temperature fluctuations threaten to destroy cultural artifacts and heritage sites. Since digital copies can serve as disaster backups (备份) to address climate-related damage, protecting cultural sites from climate change goes hand in hand with safeguarding heritage’s digital copies.
All of these call for a balance between innovation and the preservation of cultural heritage’s authenticity and integrity, which necessitates respect for the variety of copyrights, management of rights and authorizations, and clear usage and access policies. Only by tackling the complex challenges posed by digitization can we ensure technology enriches rather than endangers our shared history.
32. What situation may result from the “chilling effect” mentioned in the passage?
A. Museums refuse to display the original items of cultural artifacts.
B. Galleries tighten the policies for e-format culture exchanges.
C. Libraries restrict access to digital books on culture relics.
D. Schools offer less cultural heritage-related courses.
33. What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A. The necessity of protecting cultural heritage in digital forms.
B. The significance of protecting cultural relics from natural damage.
C. The possibility of using technology in cultural heritage preservation.
D. The barrier of achieving both conservation and transition at the same time.
34. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To analyse the origins of current challenges. B. To promote the use of modern technology.
C. To advocate addressing existing issues. D. To explore the impact of innovation on tradition.

Sometimes it helps to have a “poker face”, an expression on your face that does not show what you are thinking or feeling. ____35____ Our research shows that moving your face in some way may help people warm to you more.
To understand why facial expressivity is so beneficial, we first need to emphasise just how crucial social bonding is to human survival. Throughout most of our evolutionary history, our species has relied on tight-knit communities to keep ourselves fed, sheltered, and protected from dangerous outsiders. ____36____ Any skill or behaviour that improved someone’s ability to create and maintain lifesaving bonds was likely to exist in our gene pool over the generations. And our research suggests that facial expressivity may fall in this category.
____37____ Imagine meeting someone new and trying to figure out how good a fit they might be as a friend, or a colleague. You might wonder whether you can trust them, and whether you can even begin to understand each other. Someone who is easier to read may seem to be more appealing than someone who is more guarded. Simply put, being facially expressive may give others a sense that they understand you, which they like. This in turn supports the suggestion that the key function of facial expressivity is to make us more predictable.
Furthermore, we found that participants’ level of expressivity didn’t change across situations or with different social partners. This finding may leave you wondering why some people remain comparatively inexpressive across situations. ____38____ And there could be alternative routes to being an attractive social partner.
Clearly, regardless of how expressive we tend to be overall, we can also make choices about sharing more of ourselves in certain situations. Being more open and expressive may be scary — leaving people easy to be hurt. ____39____ So for now we think it’s best to leave your poker face at the card table.
A. However, our work shows that it comes with rewards.
B. Managing social relationships was a matter of life or death.
C. Interestingly, more agreeable people were more facially expressive.
D. For some, the costs of revealing oneself may outweigh the benefits.
E. You might guess that people with cheerful expressions are best liked.
F. Why would facial expressivity improve someone’s ability to build social bonds?
G. Yet, in day-to-day life, when socializing, you’d better let your facial features fly free.
