Compared to past generations, today’s seniors are wealthier, spending more time and money on tourism while demanding good value and meaningful trips. They seek bolder, more purposeful trips, fueling a rise in independent travel, guided tours, and philanthropic (慈善的) journeys. Prioritizing autonomy, many opt for personalized arrangements in small groups or solo, moving away from rigid, large tours. They conduct extensive online research but also consult professionals to create a basic routine. A key motivation is the desire to build new social connections and strengthen family bonds during travel, with increasing options available to support these goals. Figure 1: Primary Motivation for Intern (Aged 50+) ●“Experience New Cultures & Adventure”: 45% ●“Visit Family/Friends”: 30% ●“Volunteer/Service Learning”: 15% ●“Relaxation”: 10% Mature travellers, particularly women increasingly favour culturally immersive and adventurous vacations focused on learning and giving back. This reflects the lifelong pursuit of meaningful and enjoyable experiences through travel. Figure 2: Planned International Travel (Next 12 Months) ●Age 50-59: 42% ●Age 60-69: 48% ●Age 70+: 35% Research confirms a strong intention to travel internationally among those over fifty. Tourism remains their top discretionary (可自由支配的) costs. Globally, older tourists are as numerous as backpackers but possess greater spending power. For many, travel provides new perspectives, with living abroad often seen as an ultimate retirement goal. 1. What do modern seniors expect from their trips? A. Worthwhile experiences. B. Low - cost group tours. C. Short and simple vacations. D. Travelling with many friends. 2. According to Figure 2, which group is most likely to travel abroad? A. People under 50. B. People aged 50-59. C. People aged 60-69. D. People aged over 70. 3. What can we know about senior travellers compared to backpackers? A. They prefer cheaper destinations. B. They travel in bigger groups. C. They often have larger budgets. D. They enjoy less planning. B In the summer of 2023, middle school student Tina Jin was alarmed to learn that over 2 billion people lack access to clean drinking water. With her heart set on finding a solution, Jin found inspiration in an unlikely place: in the tiny holes of leftover bones on her dinner plate. After inspiration struck, Jin spent a year perfecting a solution that would reduce bone waste and increase access to clean drinking water. For months, she saved bones from family dinners and tested their honeycomb-like (蜂窝状的) structures to create a natural water filtration (过滤) system. Over time, she improved the homemade invention by grinding (磨) smaller bones up into a powder and filtering it all through the filter made from thrown-away bones and household supplies. Upon applying for the Thermo Fisher Scientific Junior Innovators challenge — a five-day STEM competition — Jin was selected as one of 30 middle school finalists. Last October, she flew to Washington, D.C. to take a range of student challenges and demonstrate her filtration device to the judges. After third-party testing by a water company showed that her filter successfully achieved drinkable standards, she took home the competition’s top award. Jin was smiling from ear to ear as she took to the stage to accept the award. “I was just so shocked, and I felt so happy,” she said while holding her newly won award. “I want to partner with bigger organizations and hope to be able to see people filter water using my method.” When it comes to encouraging other young people to explore STEM, Jin said, “If you find something that you think can solve a problem, pursue it — the chances are that you’re finding something that can help save the world.” 4. What was the direct source of inspiration for Tina Jin’s invention? A. A scientific paper on honeycomb structures. B. The tiny holes in leftover dinner bones. C. A lecture from her school teacher. D. The global water crisis statistics. 5. What did the third-party test results show about the system? A. It could produce drinkable water. B. It needed more development to work. C. It was cheaper than other filters. D. It could filter water very quickly. 6. What can be inferred from Jin’s statement in the last paragraph? A. She believes young people can definitely save the world. B. She values action and potential in problem-solving. C. She thinks only big ideas can make a difference. D. She finds the invention process to be easy. 7. Which of the following can best describe Tina Jin? A. Impatient but ambitious. B. Shy but intelligent. C. Reliable and lucky. D. Observant and determined. C Wave water sleeves (水袖), play with spears (矛), paint faces and wear costumes. On May 17th, teachers and students from the Ecuadorian Education Delegation immersed (使沉浸) themselves in the art of Peking Opera at the Affiliated Art School of Shenyang Normal University, experiencing the endless charm of traditional Chinese culture. Amid the beating of gongs and drums, students from the Affiliated Art School of Shenyang Normal University demonstrated the basic skills of singing, speaking, acting and acrobatic fighting of Peking Opera and performed some excerpts (片段) of Wu Wenhua and Woman Defending for the Emperor for 25 students from Ecuador. With curiosity and enthusiasm, the Ecuadorian students fixed their eyes on the performance and took photos with their mobile phones from time to time. After the performance, they couldn’t wait to come to the venue to put on their costumes and props, and learned some techniques with the Chinese students, such as water sleeves, spear playing and knife playing. Some of the students also put on facial makeups to practise stage steps and wave water sleeves under the guidance of their teachers, winning applause from the audience. “I’ve heard of Peking Opera before, but knew little about it. Today, I not only saw the Peking Opera performance by myself, but also tried on the costumes. This experience was fantastic!” Dressed in the costume for the role of a general, Oliver showed a debut (首次登台) posture he had just learned, and had his classmates help him take photos for memory. “Peking Opera is the quintessence of Chinese culture, with a profound history and a rich heritage. Today, we have prepared a Peking Opera immersive experience specifically for Ecuadorian students, helping them feel the charm of traditional Chinese culture through lively activities, and hoping they can bring our national art to the world,” said Wang Yunfeng, deputy director of the Opera Teaching Department at the Affiliated Art School of Shenyang Normal University. 8. What did the Ecuadorian students do while watching the performance? A. They asked questions about the stories. B. They recorded the show with their phones. C. They tried on costumes immediately. D. They learned to beat gongs and drums. 9. What did Oliver think of his Peking Opera experience? A. It was too short to learn much. B. It was an amazing involvement. C. He found the makeup uncomfortable. D. He preferred watching to participating. 10. What does the underlined word “quintessence” in the last paragraph mean? A. Difficult skill. B. Modern form. C. Perfect example. D. Popular trend. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. Splendid Traditional Chinese Costumes B. Artists Train Foreign Students as Performers C. The Comparison Between Chinese and Ecuadorian Art D. Ecuadorian Students Immerse Themselves in the Charm of Peking Opera D You, along with all living things, produce weak light that glows (发出微弱稳定的光) until you die, according to a recent study. It’s called ultraweak photon emission (UPE) and is a natural product of your metabolism (新陈代谢). UPE is produced when chemicals in your cells create unstable molecules (分子) known as reactive oxygen species (ROS) as by-products of your body’s metabolism. When ROS levels rise, they cause other molecules to become “excited”, meaning they carry excess (额外的) energy. It’s this energy that causes light to be released. “I normally point out that UPE is a result of a biochemical process and in that sense is related to what happens in a glow-stick,” Dr Daniel Oblak, a physicist at the University of Calgary and last author of the study, said. “UPE is so weak that it is not visible to the human eye and completely overwhelmed by other sources of light, unless you are in a completely dark room.” That’s not to say that shutting your curtains and turning off your lights will allow you to see your own glow. This light is between 1,000 and 1,000,000 times weaker than the human eye can perceive. Using specialist cameras, scientists observed much more UPE being released by the living mice, compared to their dead bodies. Meanwhile, the leaves gave off much more light where they had been damaged, compared to undamaged areas. That’s because they were experiencing more oxidative (氧化的) stress in damaged regions. But the dead mice did not glow, because their bodies weren’t metabolising anymore. Oblak said that the key advantage of UPE is that it offers a non-invasive method of observing the health of living things. “This could be used to track the condition of a tissue — for example, for use in transplants — or the level of stress an organism is subject to, such as for monitoring crop or forest health,” he said. But this field is still full of unknowns. For instance, Oblak said, “Perhaps UPE is not just a byproduct of metabolic processes, but also serves a purpose.” Scientists just aren’t sure yet. 12. What causes ultraweak photon emission? A. The presence of reactive oxygen species in cells. B. Direct exposure to bright light in a dark room. C. The use of specialized cameras on dead organisms. D. The human eye’s ability to perceive dim light. 13. What can be learned about UPE from the text? A. It is visible to the human eye without equipment. B. It is a supernatural phenomenon. C. It is generated through a biochemical process. D. It is only produced by damaged tissues. 14. Why did the injured leaves give off more light than undamaged areas? A. They were suffering more oxidative stress. B. They were no longer metabolizing. C. They produced more reactive oxygen species after death. D. They were placed in a completely dark room. 15. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To explain why dead organisms stop glowing. B. To compare UPE in mice and plants. C. To argue that UPE is a purposeful biological signal. D. To introduce UPE and its potential applications. 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。 We are often led to believe that nothing is ever enough in life. ____16____. That persistent focus on what you lack is called a scarcity mindset, a negative mental state that fosters pessimism, competitiveness, and a sense of falling behind. One trendy opposite to the scarcity mindset is the “abundance mindset.” ____17____. Wishful thinking — that if you just believe you have money, it’ll appear in your hands — can be equally unhelpful. Instead, breaking free from a scarcity mindset is surprisingly simple. Start by practicing gratitude — being more intentional about noticing the good things you already have, whether it’s a supportive friend, a cozy apartment, or even upcoming holiday plans with family. You can also challenge scarcity mindset thoughts (“I’ll never make enough money,” or “I’ll never have enough time”) with logic. Write down examples of when you got a promotion, say, or finished a big project ahead of schedule. Reflecting on these moments can remind you that your scarcity thinking isn’t always accurate.____18____. ____19____. That means redirecting energy from complaints and actions: If you’re feeling stuck professionally, for instance, make it your objective to update your resume or network with at least one new contact each week. If it’s your dating life that feels stalled, maybe it’s time to try a new app or reevaluate that toxic relationship that’s holding you back. A scarcity mindset doesn’t have to define your life. ____20____, your world should feel fuller, brighter, and far less restricting. A. And it always works B. Due to your impatience C. With these little, intentional shifts D. Adopt a goal-oriented perspective E. Yet blind optimism isn’t realistic for most F. Ultimately, carry out your duties with professionalism G. Not enough hours in the day or money in our bank accounts 第三部分 语言运用(共四节，满分55分) 第一节(共15题;每小题1分，满分15分) Leo walked toward the art building with a heavy heart.

This was how they made their living. Anna helped her mother tend the garden, so the vegetables would be healthy and ready for the market. Anna often pretended the plants she tended were beautiful roses, like Mrs. Brown’s prize flowers. The only person in the village who made money selling flowers was Mrs. Brown. She grew roses and sold them to flower shops in the city. Every year she joined the City Rose Festival. People thought that Mrs. Brown used magic to grow her roses. How else could she win first prize twenty years in a row? Anna loved to tend flowers. Moreover, she often dreamed about growing her own roses and winning first prize in the festival. With the prize money, she would also be able to lighten the burden at home. However, roses were too expensive for her to start. One day, Anna visited Mrs. Brown to see her flowers. Mrs. Brown was whispering to her roses when she arrived. “Spying on me again!” Mrs. Brown frowned. “I only came to see your flowers, Mrs. Brown.” Anna took a deep breath. “I wish I could grow beautiful roses and win a prize at the festival like you.” “I have experience passed down from generations.” Mrs. Brown laughed. “Stick to vegetables, child. Leave flowers to those who know the secret of flowers.” Mrs. Brown returned to her gardening, ignoring the sad look on Anna’s face. Then she pulled up a dried-up rose, and threw it over the fence. “A plant in bad condition. Unworthy of my time,” Mrs. Brown mumbled. Anna smiled, as she had an idea. She bowed farewell to Mrs. Brown and went out the garden gate. Mrs. Brown was busy minding her prize roses. Anna quickly bent over and grabbed the abandoned rose before rushing home. She remembered a quiet spot behind the cottage. It was the perfect place for her little rose to grow. Now, she had a chance for the festival. Anna planted the rose in her garden and tended it carefully. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On festival morning, Mrs. Brown passed by and saw the beautiful rose. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高二英语考试 (试卷满分：150分，考试时间：120分钟) 注意事项： 1．答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上，并将条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑，如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号;回答非选择题时，用0.5mm的黑色字迹签字笔将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3．考试结束后请将答题卡上交。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段录音，每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。 1.

Compared to past generations, today’s seniors are wealthier, spending more time and money on tourism while demanding good value and meaningful trips. They seek bolder, more purposeful trips, fueling a rise in independent travel, guided tours, and philanthropic (慈善的) journeys. Prioritizing autonomy, many opt for personalized arrangements in small groups or solo, moving away from rigid, large tours. They conduct extensive online research but also consult professionals to create a basic routine. A key motivation is the desire to build new social connections and strengthen family bonds during travel, with increasing options available to support these goals.

On May 17th, teachers and students from the Ecuadorian Education Delegation immersed (使沉浸) themselves in the art of Peking Opera at the Affiliated Art School of Shenyang Normal University, experiencing the endless charm of traditional Chinese culture. Amid the beating of gongs and drums, students from the Affiliated Art School of Shenyang Normal University demonstrated the basic skills of singing, speaking, acting and acrobatic fighting of Peking Opera and performed some excerpts (片段) of Wu Wenhua and Woman Defending for the Emperor for 25 students from Ecuador. With curiosity and enthusiasm, the Ecuadorian students fixed their eyes on the performance and took photos with their mobile phones from time to time. After the performance, they couldn’t wait to come to the venue to put on their costumes and props, and learned some techniques with the Chinese students, such as water sleeves, spear playing and knife playing. Some of the students also put on facial makeups to practise stage steps and wave water sleeves under the guidance of their teachers, winning applause from the audience. “I’ve heard of Peking Opera before, but knew little about it. Today, I not only saw the Peking Opera performance by myself, but also tried on the costumes. This experience was fantastic!” Dressed in the costume for the role of a general, Oliver showed a debut (首次登台) posture he had just learned, and had his classmates help him take photos for memory. “Peking Opera is the quintessence of Chinese culture, with a profound history and a rich heritage. Today, we have prepared a Peking Opera immersive experience specifically for Ecuadorian students, helping them feel the charm of traditional Chinese culture through lively activities, and hoping they can bring our national art to the world,” said Wang Yunfeng, deputy director of the Opera Teaching Department at the Affiliated Art School of Shenyang Normal University. 8. What did the Ecuadorian students do while watching the performance? A. They asked questions about the stories. B. They recorded the show with their phones. C. They tried on costumes immediately. D. They learned to beat gongs and drums. 9. What did Oliver think of his Peking Opera experience? A. It was too short to learn much. B. It was an amazing involvement. C. He found the makeup uncomfortable. D. He preferred watching to participating. 10. What does the underlined word “quintessence” in the last paragraph mean? A. Difficult skill. B. Modern form. C. Perfect example. D. Popular trend. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. Splendid Traditional Chinese Costumes B. Artists Train Foreign Students as Performers C. The Comparison Between Chinese and Ecuadorian Art D. Ecuadorian Students Immerse Themselves in the Charm of Peking Opera 【答案】8. B 9. B 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】主要讲述5月17日厄瓜多尔教育代表团的师生在沈阳师范大学附属艺术学校沉浸式体验京剧艺术的经历。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“With curiosity and enthusiasm, the Ecuadorian students fixed their eyes on the performance and took photos with their mobile phones from time to time.(带着好奇和热情，厄瓜多尔学生目不转睛地看着表演，还不时用手机拍照)”可知，厄瓜多尔学生在观看表演时用手机记录表演。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段““I’ve heard of Peking Opera before, but knew little about it. Today, I not only saw the Peking Opera performance by myself, but also tried on the costumes. This experience was fantastic!”(“我以前听说过京剧，但了解很少。今天，我不仅亲眼看到了京剧表演，还试穿了戏服。这次经历太棒了！”)”可知，奥利弗认为他的京剧体验是一次令人惊叹的参与。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据最后一段“Peking Opera is the quintessence of Chinese culture, with a profound history and a rich heritage.(京剧是中国文化的____，有着深厚的历史和丰富的遗产)”可知，京剧有深厚历史和丰富遗产，是中国文化的完美典范，“quintessence”意思可能是“Perfect example.”(完美典范)。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“On May 17th, teachers and students from the Ecuadorian Education Delegation immersed(使沉浸) themselves in the art of Peking Opera at the Affiliated Art School of Shenyang Normal University, experiencing the endless charm of traditional Chinese culture.(5 月 17 日，厄瓜多尔教育代表团的师生们走进沈阳师范大学附属艺术学校，沉浸式感受京剧艺术，领略中国传统文化的无穷魅力)”可知，文章围绕厄瓜多尔学生在沈阳师范大学附属艺术学校沉浸式体验京剧艺术展开，所以D选项“Ecuadorian Students Immerse Themselves in the Charm of Peking Opera(厄瓜多尔学生沉浸在京剧的魅力中)”最适合作为文章标题。 D You, along with all living things, produce weak light that glows (发出微弱稳定的光) until you die, according to a recent study. It’s called ultraweak photon emission (UPE) and is a natural product of your metabolism (新陈代谢). UPE is produced when chemicals in your cells create unstable molecules (分子) known as reactive oxygen species (ROS) as by-products of your body’s metabolism. When ROS levels rise, they cause other molecules to become “excited”, meaning they carry excess (额外的) energy. It’s this energy that causes light to be released. “I normally point out that UPE is a result of a biochemical process and in that sense is related to what happens in a glow-stick,” Dr Daniel Oblak, a physicist at the University of Calgary and last author of the study, said. “UPE is so weak that it is not visible to the human eye and completely overwhelmed by other sources of light, unless you are in a completely dark room.” That’s not to say that shutting your curtains and turning off your lights will allow you to see your own glow. This light is between 1,000 and 1,000,000 times weaker than the human eye can perceive. Using specialist cameras, scientists observed much more UPE being released by the living mice, compared to their dead bodies. Meanwhile, the leaves gave off much more light where they had been damaged, compared to undamaged areas. That’s because they were experiencing more oxidative (氧化的) stress in damaged regions. But the dead mice did not glow, because their bodies weren’t metabolising anymore. Oblak said that the key advantage of UPE is that it offers a non-invasive method of observing the health of living things. “This could be used to track the condition of a tissue — for example, for use in transplants — or the level of stress an organism is subject to, such as for monitoring crop or forest health,” he said. But this field is still full of unknowns. For instance, Oblak said, “Perhaps UPE is not just a byproduct of metabolic processes, but also serves a purpose.” Scientists just aren’t sure yet. 12. What causes ultraweak photon emission? A. The presence of reactive oxygen species in cells. B. Direct exposure to bright light in a dark room. C. The use of specialized cameras on dead organisms. D. The human eye’s ability to perceive dim light. 13. What can be learned about UPE from the text? A. It is visible to the human eye without equipment. B. It is a supernatural phenomenon. C. It is generated through a biochemical process. D. It is only produced by damaged tissues. 14. Why did the injured leaves give off more light than undamaged areas? A. They were suffering more oxidative stress. B. They were no longer metabolizing. C. They produced more reactive oxygen species after death. D. They were placed in a completely dark room. 15. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To explain why dead organisms stop glowing. B. To compare UPE in mice and plants. C. To argue that UPE is a purposeful biological signal. D. To introduce UPE and its potential applications. 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这篇文章主要介绍了超微弱光子发射（UPE）这一自然现象：它是生物新陈代谢产生的生化副产物，强度极弱无法被人眼直接观察；受损组织因氧化应激更强会释放更多UPE，而死亡生物因停止代谢不再发光。UPE可作为非侵入式手段用于生物健康监测，但其是否具有特定生物功能仍有待研究。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“UPE is produced when chemicals in your cells create unstable molecules (分子) known as reactive oxygen species (ROS) as by-products of your body’s metabolism. When ROS levels rise, they cause other molecules to become “excited”, meaning they carry excess (额外的) energy. It’s this energy that causes light to be released.( 当您细胞内的化学物质产生不稳定分子（即活性氧物质，简称 ROS）作为身体新陈代谢的副产品时，就会产生 UPE。当 ROS 水平升高时，它们会使其他分子“兴奋”，即它们携带过多的能量。正是这种能量导致光被释放出来。)”可知，细胞内存在活性氧物质导致了超弱光子的发射。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段““I normally point out that UPE is a result of a biochemical process and in that sense is related to what happens in a glow-stick,” Dr Daniel Oblak, a physicist at the University of Calgary and last author of the study, said.( “我通常会指出，UPE 是一种生物化学过程的结果，从这个意义上说，它与发光棒所发生的情况有关，”卡尔加里大学的物理学家丹尼尔·奥布拉克博士（该研究的最后作者）说道。)”可知，UPE 是通过生化过程产生的。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“That’s because they were experiencing more oxidative (氧化的) stress in damaged regions. But the dead mice did not glow, because their bodies weren’t metabolising anymore.( 这是因为受损区域的生物体承受着更多的氧化应激。但死鼠不会发光，因为它们的体内不再进行新陈代谢。)”可知，受损的叶子比未受损的区域能发出更多的光是因为受损区域遭受了更多氧化应激。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章大意以及最后一段“But this field is still full of unknowns. For instance, Oblak said, “Perhaps UPE is not just a byproduct of metabolic processes, but also serves a purpose.” Scientists just aren’t sure yet.( 但这一领域仍充满未知。例如，奥布拉克说：“也许UPE不仅仅是代谢过程的副产品，还具有某种作用。”科学家们目前还不确定这一点。)”可知，全文结构清晰：前四段介绍UPE的定义、产生机制和基本特性；第五段解释实验现象的原因；第六、七段重点介绍UPE在组织移植监测、作物和森林健康监测等方面的潜在应用；最后一段指出该领域仍存在未知。整体目的是全面介绍UPE及其应用前景。 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。 We are often led to believe that nothing is ever enough in life. ____16____. That persistent focus on what you lack is called a scarcity mindset, a negative mental state that fosters pessimism, competitiveness, and a sense of falling behind. One trendy opposite to the scarcity mindset is the “abundance mindset.” ____17____. Wishful thinking — that if you just believe you have money, it’ll appear in your hands — can be equally unhelpful. Instead, breaking free from a scarcity mindset is surprisingly simple. Start by practicing gratitude — being more intentional about noticing the good things you already have, whether it’s a supportive friend, a cozy apartment, or even upcoming holiday plans with family. You can also challenge scarcity mindset thoughts (“I’ll never make enough money,” or “I’ll never have enough time”) with logic. Write down examples of when you got a promotion, say, or finished a big project ahead of schedule. Reflecting on these moments can remind you that your scarcity thinking isn’t always accurate.____18____. ____19____. That means redirecting energy from complaints and actions: If you’re feeling stuck professionally, for instance, make it your objective to update your resume or network with at least one new contact each week. If it’s your dating life that feels stalled, maybe it’s time to try a new app or reevaluate that toxic relationship that’s holding you back. A scarcity mindset doesn’t have to define your life. ____20____, your world should feel fuller, brighter, and far less restricting. A. And it always works B. Due to your impatience C. With these little, intentional shifts D. Adopt a goal-oriented perspective E. Yet blind optimism isn’t realistic for most F. Ultimately, carry out your duties with professionalism G. Not enough hours in the day or money in our bank accounts 【答案】16. G 17. E 18. A 19. D 20. C 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍了“稀缺心态”这一负面心理状态——即总觉得自己拥有的不够多，并指出摆脱这种心态的方法：练习感恩、用逻辑挑战消极想法、采取以目标为导向的视角，最终让生活变得更充实、更明亮。 【16题详解】 上文“We are often led to believe that nothing is ever enough in life. (我们常被引导认为生活中没有什么是足够的。)”提出人们普遍认为生活中永远不够，空格处应是对此的具体举例说明。G项“Not enough hours in the day or money in our bank accounts (一天中时间不够，或银行账户里的钱不够)”正是对“nothing is ever enough”的具体阐释，与上文衔接紧密，同时引出下文“That persistent focus on what you lack is called a scarcity mindset (这种对你所缺乏之物的持续关注被称为稀缺心态)”对稀缺心态的定义。 【17题详解】 上文“One trendy opposite to the scarcity mindset is the “abundance mindset.” (稀缺心态的一个流行对立面是“富足心态”。)”介绍了富足心态，下文“Wishful thinking — that if you just believe you have money, it’ll appear in your hands — can be equally unhelpful. (一厢情愿的想法——如果你只是相信你有钱，钱就会出现在你手中——同样没有帮助。)”指出盲目乐观也不行。E项“Yet blind optimism isn’t realistic for most (然而盲目乐观对大多数人来说并不现实)”中“Yet”表示转折，和上文正好构成转折关系，并且“blind optimism”与下文的“Wishful thinking”相呼应，说明富足心态虽好但盲目乐观也不可取。 【18题详解】 上文“Reflecting on these moments can remind you that your scarcity thinking isn’t always accurate. (反思这些时刻可以提醒你，你的稀缺想法并不总是准确的。)”说明用逻辑挑战稀缺心态的方法有效，空格处应是对该方法效果的总结。A项“And it always works (而且它总是有效的)”是对上文方法的肯定总结，与上文构成递进关系。 【19题详解】 空格处位于段首，应是该段的主题句。下文“That means redirecting energy from complaints and actions: If you’re feeling stuck professionally, for instance, make it your objective to update your resume or network with at least one new contact each week. (这意味着要将精力从抱怨和行动中转移出来：比如说，如果你在职业上感到停滞不前，那么你的目标就是每周更新一次简历，并与至少一位新的人士建立联系。)”说明要把精力从抱怨转向设定目标并采取行动。D项“Adopt a goal-oriented perspective (采取以目标为导向的视角)”正好概括了本段核心内容，即从抱怨转向以目标为导向的行动。 【20题详解】 上文“A scarcity mindset doesn’t have to define your life. (稀缺心态不必定义你的生活。)”总结全文观点，下文“your world should feel fuller, brighter, and far less restricting. (你的世界应该会感觉更充实、更明亮、限制更少。)”说明改变后的结果。空格处需要一个条件状语来连接上下文。C项“With these little, intentional shifts (通过这些小小的、有意识的转变)”中“these little, intentional shifts”指代上文提到的练习感恩、用逻辑挑战消极想法、采取目标导向视角等方法，与下文的积极结果构成条件关系。 第三部分 语言运用(共四节，满分55分) 第一节(共15题;每小题1分，满分15分) Leo walked toward the art building with a heavy heart.

This was how they made their living. Anna helped her mother tend the garden, so the vegetables would be healthy and ready for the market. Anna often pretended the plants she tended were beautiful roses, like Mrs. Brown’s prize flowers. The only person in the village who made money selling flowers was Mrs. Brown. She grew roses and sold them to flower shops in the city. Every year she joined the City Rose Festival. People thought that Mrs. Brown used magic to grow her roses. How else could she win first prize twenty years in a row? Anna loved to tend flowers. Moreover, she often dreamed about growing her own roses and winning first prize in the festival. With the prize money, she would also be able to lighten the burden at home. However, roses were too expensive for her to start. One day, Anna visited Mrs. Brown to see her flowers. Mrs. Brown was whispering to her roses when she arrived. “Spying on me again!” Mrs. Brown frowned. “I only came to see your flowers, Mrs. Brown.” Anna took a deep breath. “I wish I could grow beautiful roses and win a prize at the festival like you.” “I have experience passed down from generations.” Mrs. Brown laughed. “Stick to vegetables, child. Leave flowers to those who know the secret of flowers.” Mrs. Brown returned to her gardening, ignoring the sad look on Anna’s face. Then she pulled up a dried-up rose, and threw it over the fence. “A plant in bad condition. Unworthy of my time,” Mrs. Brown mumbled. Anna smiled, as she had an idea. She bowed farewell to Mrs. Brown and went out the garden gate. Mrs. Brown was busy minding her prize roses. Anna quickly bent over and grabbed the abandoned rose before rushing home. She remembered a quiet spot behind the cottage. It was the perfect place for her little rose to grow. Now, she had a chance for the festival. Anna planted the rose in her garden and tended it carefully. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On festival morning, Mrs. Brown passed by and saw the beautiful rose. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Anna planted the rose in her garden and tended it carefully. She nurtured it every day, watering it just right and making sure that it received plenty of sunlight. She talked to it softly, much like Mrs. Brown did with her roses, hoping her words would encourage it to bloom beautifully.Weeks passed, and Anna’s rose began to show signs of improvement. Its leaves grew greener, and a few buds formed at the ends of its stems. On festival morning, Mrs. Brown passed by and saw the beautiful rose. Mrs. Brown couldn’t hide her shock. Anna carried it to the festival, where it stood out among the rows of roses. As the prizes were announced, Anna’s flower won the hearts of all. Mrs. Brown’s mouth dropped open at the result and came to ask what her secret of planting flowers was. Anna mentioned it was being able to do something she enjoyed and trying her best. Shocked and proud, her mother said excitedly in a whisper  “Proud of you and your dream.”   【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Anna和妈妈种蔬菜谋生，Anna喜欢花并想在节日活动中获得奖金来减轻家里的负担，然而，她买不起玫瑰花，有一天她捡起了Mrs. Brown扔出花园的一朵玫瑰花，拿回家种植的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Anna 把玫瑰种在她的花园里，并悉心照料。”可知，第一段可描写“Anna悉心照料玫瑰花，它逐渐地绽放出生机和活力。”的相关细节。 ②由第二段首句内容“在节日的早晨，Mrs. Brown经过，看到了那朵美丽的玫瑰。”可知，第二段可描写“Mrs. Brown很惊讶，最终Anna的玫瑰花获奖，安娜提到成功的秘诀是能够做自己喜欢的事情并尽自己最大的努力。”的相关细节。 2.续写线索：Anna 精心照顾玫瑰花——玫瑰花恢复生机——Anna参赛——Anna获奖——Anna的母亲感到骄傲 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①确保：make sure/ensure ②鼓励：encourage/inspire ③宣布：announce/declare 情绪类 ①惊讶：shock/surprise/astonishment/amazement ②激动地：excitedly/passionately 【点睛】【高分句型1】She nurtured it every day, watering it just right and making sure that it received plenty of sunlight. (运用了现在分词作状语和that引导的宾语从句) 【高分句型2】Anna carried it to the festival, where it stood out among the rows of roses.(运用了where引导的非限制性定语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
