Moonmilk, a cake and ice cream shop nearby, was hiring, so I went in for a trial shift. I practiced scooping ice cream for 20 minutes and talked to the manager for 40 minutes about our favorite pizza spots. I immediately knew this place was special. While I originally just set out to earn some extra money during the summer, the bonds and memories I made there turned out to be more valuable than any paycheck. Once, a man who works for the union of the local movie theater came in to place an order. He wanted a cake to celebrate a victory he’d had in stopping the theater from being kicked out by its landlord. Moonmilk’s owner was touched by the story and refused payment for the cake. Later, the union leader – so moved by the gesture – delivered free movie tickets to Moonmilk staff. The older women customers are among my favorites. Their concern is disarming; they often wonder if I’m okay and tell me I look tired. One regular, always alone and smiling, is kind and generous, ordering methodically and always declaring we have the best ice cream in the city. There’s also the guy who comes in frequently to ask if we have the chocolate orange flavor – that we only ever have at Christmas. I always have to say no, but his persistence brings me joy, especially on days when I’m tired. As with any job, there are unpleasant moments. My wrist (手腕) often hurts from repeatedly scooping out ice cream, and it’s always annoying when a group of people come in and take way too long to order, holding up all the others waiting. In the fall, my full-time job’s schedule becomes more demanding and I know I’ll have to reduce my shifts. I’ll miss the busyness of the summer season and will run into my favorite customers less often. The winter months are long and the owner has spoken about days when only three people come in. But my experience working at this popular spot has helped me feel more connected to my local community. The interactions and connections I’ve made will keep me going until at least next summer. Hopefully, the orange chocolate ice cream has returned by then. 51. What initially drew the author to work at Moonmilk? A. A love for cake and ice cream. B. The chance to earn extra money. C. A personal connection to the shop. D. The manager’s engaging personality. 52. What does the underlined word “disarming” in paragraph 3 most probably mean? A. Heartwarming. B. Surprising. C. Distracting. D. Embarrassing. 53. How does the author feel about working fewer shifts in the winter? A. Eager. B. Relieved. C. Disappointed. D. Anxious. 54. What lasting effect did the job at Moonmilk have on the author? A. A renewed sense of purpose. B. Improved interpersonal skills. C. A greater sense of belonging. D. A strengthened sense of duty. 55. Why does the author write this passage? A. To describe the daily routine at Moonmilk. B. To explain how to handle difficult customers. C. To share a meaningful experience that changed her. D. To advertise Moonmilk as a great workplace for her. B Long before dinosaurs lived on Earth, the land looked very different from today. Around 500 million years ago, most of Earth’s surface was bare rock and dry soil, and life existed almost entirely in the oceans. Then something amazing happened: plants began to grow on land. The journey of plants started with simple green life-forms like algae (藻类), which have been living in oceans and lakes for over a billion years. Using sunlight, water and CO₂, algae make sugars as well as oxygen through photosynthesis (光合作用). At first, Earth’s atmosphere had little oxygen, but algae, along with some bacteria, changed that over millions of years. This made it possible for larger and more complex life forms to appear. The first true plants developed from green algae 470 million years ago. Living in shallow water near shores, they were sometimes underwater and sometimes above the surface. Slowly, they adapted to dry land with many new features. These included stronger cell walls, which enabled plants to stand upright against gravity. They also developed rootlike structures to hold onto the soil and take water and nutrients. The earliest land plants stayed close to the ground. Some, like Cooksonia, had small stems only about 2.5 to 5 centimeters tall. Though small, these plants made a big impact. Besides adding oxygen to the air, they used their roots to break down rocks into soil. This process, called weathering, created richer soil that could support more life. The plants also provided homes and food sources for animals moving from oceans onto land. Around 420 million years ago, plants developed tiny tubes that move water and nutrients upward from the roots to the leaves. This allowed plants to grow taller and stronger. By about 360 million years ago, forests covered much of Earth. Another big leap happened around 380 million years ago with the development of seeds. This meant plants could reproduce without needing water for fertilization. Flowering plants then came along about 140 million years ago. Their flowers attracted animals to spread pollen, and their fruits helped protect the seeds. Plants changed the atmosphere, built soil and created ecosystems that allowed animals to develop on land. Thanks to plant evolution, Earth became a green planet full of diverse life. 56. According to the text, what role did algae play in Earth’s history? A. They reduced the number of bacteria in the oceans. B. They helped increase oxygen in the atmosphere. C. They evolved directly into complex life forms. D. They significantly decreased CO2 levels in the air. 57. Why were early land plants able to stand upright? A. They had deep root systems. B. They took in enough sunlight. C. They lived in shallow water. D. They developed stronger cell walls. 58. What is the main idea of paragraph 4? A. The formation of soil through weathering. B. The multiple effects of early land plants. C. The challenges early land plants faced. D. The role of plants in supporting animal life. 59. What can be inferred from the text about the period when seeds first appeared? A. Plants started to develop tiny tubes. B. Forests spread across most of Earth’s land. C. Plants could reproduce without depending on water. D. Flowering plants were already common on Earth. 60. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. How weathering created soil. B. The rise of flowering plants. C. The first animals on land. D. Seeding the future. C Being attractive isn’t usually considered much of a disadvantage in today’s world. Actually, there is the endless potential benefit about it, but researchers have found one area that being pretty makes life a challenge: securing yourself a boring, low-paying job. This stands in contrast to a large body of research that attractiveness, in general, helps candidates in the selection process. For the most part good looks is a blessing. We treat pretty people more favorably in general, often vote for them more in elections, and pay them more in their professions. The research suggests that attractive people may be discriminated against in selection for relatively less desirable jobs. Researchers carried out four experiments involving more than 750 participants, including university students and managers who make hiring decisions in the real world. Participants were shown photos of two potential job candidates, one attractive and the other unattractive. Participants were then asked a series of questions designed to measure their opinions of the job candidates and whether they would hire these candidates for a less-than-desirable job. The less desirable jobs included a warehouse worker, housekeeper, customer service representative and the more desirable jobs included things like a manager, project director, IT technician. In all experiments where they were asked, participants were significantly less likely to hire the attractive candidate for the less desirable job and more likely to hire the attractive candidate for the more desirable job. Ms Lee said, “In the selection decision for an undesirable job, decision makers were more likely to choose the unattractive individual over the attractive individual.” Co-author Dr Madan Pillutla said, “It is interesting that decision makers consider others’ opinions in their decisions. They thought that attractive individuals would want better outcomes, and therefore would be less satisfied, so they favored unattractive candidates when selecting for a less desirable job.” The research also suggests the established view that attractive candidates are favored when applying for jobs that might be limited to high-level jobs. 61. What do people generally think of being attractive? A. It is a blessing. B. It is not important. C. It is a disadvantage. D. It has nothing to do with jobs. 62. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. The participants of the experiment. B. The importance of the experiment. C. The process of the experiment. D. The result of the experiment. 63. An ordinary-looking graduate may have an advantage when applying for ________. A. a manager B. an IT technician C. a warehouse worker D. a project director 64. Why are less attractive applicants preferred for less desirable jobs? A. Because they are more hardworking. B. Because they will be more satisfied. C. Because they will want better outcomes. D. Because they have no requirements at all. 65. Which of the following agrees with the research? A. Attractive people are more fit for high-level jobs. B. Less attractive people are easy to find high-level jobs. C. Attractive people can always be hired when applying for jobs. D. Less attractive people can easily get highly paid if they work hard. 第Ⅱ卷 注意事项： 1.用黑色墨水的钢笔或签字笔将答案写在答题卡上。 2.本卷共6小题, 共30分。 第四部分：写作 第一节：阅读表达（共5小题; 每小题2分, 满分10分） 阅读短文, 按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 Papa, as a son of a dirt poor farmer, left school early and went to work in a factory, for education was for the rich then. So, he was determined that none of his children would be denied an education. Thus, Papa insisted that we learn at least one new thing each day. And dinner time seemed perfect for sharing what we had learned. We would talk about the news of the day; no matter how insignificant, it was never taken lightly. Papa would listen carefully and was ready with some comment, always to the point. Then came the moment — the time to share the day’s new learning. Papa, at the head of the table, would push back his chair and pour a glass of red wine, ready to listen. “Felice,” he’d say, “tell me what you learned today.” “I learned that the population of Nepal is...” Silence. Papa was thinking about what was said, as if the salvation of the world would depend upon it. “The population of Nepal. Hmm. Well...” he’d say. “Get the map; let’s see where Nepal is.” And the whole family went on a search for Nepal. This same experience was repeated until each family member had a turn. Dinner ended only after we had a clear understanding of at least half a dozen such facts. As children, we thought very little about these educational wonders. Our family, however, was growing together, sharing experiences and participating in one another’s education. And by looking at us, listening to us, respecting our input, affirming our value, giving us a sense of dignity, Papa was unquestionably our most influential teacher. Later during my training as a future teacher, I studied with some of the most famous educators. They were imparting what Papa had known all along — the value of continual learning. His technique has served me well all my life. 66. What did the author’s father think of his children’s education? (no more than 10 words) ________________________________________________________________ 67. What does the underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refer to? (no more than 2 words) ________________________________________________________________ 68. Why did the author’s father ask the family to search for Nepal on the map?

It’s really hard to say 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】考查交际用语。句意：——这是一次美妙的旅行。那么，你更喜欢哪个城市，巴黎还是罗马？——这很难说。它们有好的一面，也有坏的一面。A. Couldn’t be better不能再好了；B. Let’s stick to the point让我们紧扣主题吧；C. That’s something真是了不起；D. It’s really hard to say这很难说。由“There were good things and bad things about them”可知，两个城市都有好的一面，也有坏的一面，因此很难说更喜欢哪个，因此空格处意为“这很难说”，故选D。 17. The quality of education in this small school is better than ______ in some larger schools. A. that B. one C. it D. this 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查代词。句意：这所小学校的教育质量要好于一些大学校。句中代词代指不可数名词the quality of education，故用代词that。代词it和one都代指可数名词单数。故选A。代词it, one和that都可指代前面提到的名词。一般说来，it指代同名同物；one与that则指代同名异物，但one为泛指，相当于a／an＋名词，只可代指可数名词；that为特指，相当于the＋名词，可以代指不可数名词。one既可代替事物，也可代替人，that只能代替事物而不能代替人。掌握好这些知识就不难选出答案。 18. If you miss this chance, it may be years ________ you get another one. A. as B. before C. since D. after 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查连词。句意：如果你错过这次机会，可能要等几年的时间才会再有一次。It be + 时间段 + before …表示“要……多么才会……”，故选B项。 19. Following in the footsteps of his own teacher all those years ago, Mr Wang has now ________ his skills to the new members, who will ________ many of the future repairs. A. passed on; take off B. passed away; take over C. passed on; take on D. passed away; take up 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：多年前追随恩师的脚步，王老师如今已然把技艺传授给新成员，他们将会承担日后诸多维修工作。 pass on传授；pass away去世；take off起飞、脱下；take over接管；take on承担；take up占据、开始从事。根据下文“his skills to the new members”可知是传授技能用passed on，根据下文“many of the future repairs”可知是承担工作用take on。 20. ________ the past year as an exchange student in Britain, Linda appears maturer than those of her age. A. Having spent B. Having been spent C. To spend D. Had spent 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：琳达过去一年在英国当交换生，她看起来比同龄人更加成熟。此处是非谓语动词作状语，主语Linda和动词spend是逻辑上的主动关系，且动词spend发生在谓语动词appears之前，应用现在分词的完成式having spent，在句中作状语。故选A。 21. By the time she reached the corner of the street, the injured ________ to the nearest hospital. A. was to be sent B. has been sent C. had been sent D. would be sent 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：当她走到街角时，伤者已经被送往最近的医院了。“By the time + 一般过去时的从句”为常见的固定句型，其主句通常使用过去完成时，表示主句动作发生在从句动作之前，即“过去的过去”。同时，主语the injured与动词send之间为被动关系，需使用过去完成时的被动语态。 22. The university estimates that living expenses for international students ________around $8450 a year, which ________a burden for some of them. A. are; is B. are; are C. is; are D. is; is 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查主谓一致。句意：该大学估计，国际学生每年的生活费约为8450美元，这对其中一些人来说是一种负担。分析句子结构，这是一个包含宾语从句和定语从句的复合句，宾语从句在动词estimates后面作主句的宾语，定语从句为关系代词which引导的非限制性定语从句，先行词为前面一整句话表达的内容，两个空白处均需填系动词，宾语从句的主语为复数名词expenses，所以系动词与主语保持一致，使用复数形式；定语从句的主语为句子的主句，根据主谓一致的用法，当单个句子作主语的时候，谓语动词使用单数，因整个句子表达的是一个客观情况，谓语动词使用一般现在时，所以第一个答题空填are；第二个答题空填is，故选A项。 23. After-school activities also play a part when students apply to college. However, they can ________ a lot of time. A. put up B. pick up C. take up D. turn up 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查动词短语辨析。句意：当学生申请大学时，课外活动也起到了一定的作用。然而，它们可能会占用大量时间。A. put up张贴；B. pick up拿起；C. take up占用；D. turn up出现。根据句意可知，they指代空前的“After-school activities”，故第二句想表达“课外活动可能会占用大量时间”，故填take up，且情态动词can后动词用原形。故选C。 24. Bella, who is always cheerful, creates a friendly work atmosphere in her office every day, ________ her colleagues find pleasant and relaxing. A. where B. which C. when D. that 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查定语从句。句意：贝拉总是很开朗，每天在她的办公室里营造友好的工作氛围，她的同事们觉得这样的氛围轻松愉快。句中先行词为atmosphere，在非限定性定语从句中作动词find的宾语，所以用关系代词which引导。故选B。 【点睛】分析定语从句关键抓住两点：第一、找准先行词；第二、看先行词在定语从句中所作的成分。先行词往往为名词或代词，如本题中先行词为名词atmosphere，再分析先行词atmosphere在定语从句中所作的成分，将先行词atmosphere带到从句中作动词find的宾语，所以用关系代词which引导。 25. — Do you know anything about Zhang Guimei? — ________. She has been honored as a role model in China’s poverty alleviation fight. A. You got me there B. By all means C. Don’t mention it D. I couldn’t agree more 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查情景交际。句意：——你知道张桂梅吗？——当然知道。她被誉为中国脱贫攻坚战的模范。A. You got me there你难住我了；B. By all means当然；C. Don’t mention it别客气；D. I couldn’t agree more我完全同意。根据“She has been honored as a role model in China’s poverty alleviation fight.”可知，此处对关于张桂梅的事情做出肯定回应。故选B。 26. Children shouldn’t have access to violent films because they might ________ the things they see. A. indicate B. investigate C. innovate D. imitate 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】考查动词词义辨析。句意：孩子们不应该接触暴力电影，因为他们可能会模仿他们所看到的东西。A. indicate指示；B. investigate调查；C. innovate改革；D. imitate模仿。根据“the things they see”及常识可知，孩子会模仿他们看到的行为。故选D。 27. That Peter has spent too much time on novels recently may________ his poor grade in the exam. A. answer for B. stand for C. account for D. apply for 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查动词短语辨析。句意：Peter最近在小说上花了太多的时间，这可能是他考试成绩差的原因。A. answer for为……负责；B. stand for代表，象征；C. account for说明……的原因；D. apply for申请。根据“Peter has spent too much time on novels”可知，花太多时间看小说是成绩差的原因。故选C。 28. He ______ it by himself, for there was no one else in the room to turn to. A. must have done B. would have done C. need have done D. could have done 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查must have done用法。句意：他一定是自己做的，因为房间里没有别人可以求助。A. must have done一定做了；B. would have done本来会做；C. need have done本需要做；D. could have done本可以做。根据“for there was no one else in the room to turn to”可知，此处是对过去有把握的推测，指“一定是自己做的”，使用must have done，故选A。 29. Mr. White, who ________ in Shanghai for seven years, is a manager of a company in Beijing. A. worked B. had worked C. was working D. has worked 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查时态。句意：怀特先生在上海工作了七年，现在是北京一家公司的经理。根据定语从句中时间状语for seven years及空后is a manager of a company in Beijing可知，此处陈述的是过去的事情，应用一般过去时。故选A。 30.

A. may not B. wouldn’t C. needn’t D. mustn’t 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】考查情态动词辨析。句意：你千万不能让绝好的机会从指缝间溜走，否则你以后会后悔的。A. may not也许不；B. wouldn’t不会；C. needn’t不必；D. mustn’t一定不要。根据“or you will regret it later.”可知，一定不要将机会溜走，否则会后悔的，应用情态动词mustn’t。故选D。 第二节：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分, 满分30分） 阅读下面短文, 掌握其大意, 然后从31～50各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中, 选出最佳选项。 I am a helpful person.

Moonmilk, a cake and ice cream shop nearby, was hiring, so I went in for a trial shift. I practiced scooping ice cream for 20 minutes and talked to the manager for 40 minutes about our favorite pizza spots. I immediately knew this place was special. While I originally just set out to earn some extra money during the summer, the bonds and memories I made there turned out to be more valuable than any paycheck. Once, a man who works for the union of the local movie theater came in to place an order. He wanted a cake to celebrate a victory he’d had in stopping the theater from being kicked out by its landlord. Moonmilk’s owner was touched by the story and refused payment for the cake. Later, the union leader – so moved by the gesture – delivered free movie tickets to Moonmilk staff. The older women customers are among my favorites. Their concern is disarming; they often wonder if I’m okay and tell me I look tired. One regular, always alone and smiling, is kind and generous, ordering methodically and always declaring we have the best ice cream in the city. There’s also the guy who comes in frequently to ask if we have the chocolate orange flavor – that we only ever have at Christmas. I always have to say no, but his persistence brings me joy, especially on days when I’m tired. As with any job, there are unpleasant moments. My wrist (手腕) often hurts from repeatedly scooping out ice cream, and it’s always annoying when a group of people come in and take way too long to order, holding up all the others waiting. In the fall, my full-time job’s schedule becomes more demanding and I know I’ll have to reduce my shifts. I’ll miss the busyness of the summer season and will run into my favorite customers less often. The winter months are long and the owner has spoken about days when only three people come in. But my experience working at this popular spot has helped me feel more connected to my local community. The interactions and connections I’ve made will keep me going until at least next summer. Hopefully, the orange chocolate ice cream has returned by then. 51. What initially drew the author to work at Moonmilk? A. A love for cake and ice cream. B. The chance to earn extra money. C. A personal connection to the shop. D. The manager’s engaging personality. 52. What does the underlined word “disarming” in paragraph 3 most probably mean? A. Heartwarming. B. Surprising. C. Distracting. D. Embarrassing. 53. How does the author feel about working fewer shifts in the winter? A. Eager. B. Relieved. C. Disappointed. D. Anxious. 54. What lasting effect did the job at Moonmilk have on the author? A. A renewed sense of purpose. B. Improved interpersonal skills. C. A greater sense of belonging. D. A strengthened sense of duty. 55. Why does the author write this passage? A. To describe the daily routine at Moonmilk. B. To explain how to handle difficult customers. C. To share a meaningful experience that changed her. D. To advertise Moonmilk as a great workplace for her. 【答案】51. B 52. A 53. C 54. C 55. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了作者在Moonmilk蛋糕冰淇淋店做兼职的经历。虽然最初只是为了在夏天赚些外快，但在那里收获的人际关系和美好回忆让作者感到与当地社区联系更紧密，这段经历比任何薪水都更有价值。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“While I originally just set out to earn some extra money during the summer, the bonds and memories I made there turned out to be more valuable than any paycheck.(初我仅仅是想在暑假期间赚点额外的钱，但在那里建立起来的友谊和回忆最终证明比任何一份薪水都要珍贵得多)”可知，作者最初去Moonmilk工作是为了赚外快。 【52题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“Their concern is disarming; they often wonder if I’m okay and tell me I look tired.(她们的关心____；她们经常问我是否还好，还说我看起来很累。)”可知，年长女顾客们真诚的关心让人感到温暖、放下戒备。disarming在此处意为“让人放下防备的，暖心的”。 【53题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“I’ll miss the busyness of the summer season and will run into my favorite customers less often.(我会怀念夏天的忙碌，也会更少遇到我最喜欢的顾客。)”可知，作者对冬天减少排班感到不舍和失望。 【54题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“But my experience working at this popular spot has helped me feel more connected to my local community.(但在这个受欢迎的地方工作的经历让我感到与当地社区联系更紧密。)”可知，这份工作给作者带来的持久影响是更强的归属感。 【55题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，作者从最初只想赚外快，到后来收获了珍贵的人际关系和社区归属感，这段经历改变了她。作者写这篇文章是为了分享这段有意义的、改变了她的经历。 B Long before dinosaurs lived on Earth, the land looked very different from today. Around 500 million years ago, most of Earth’s surface was bare rock and dry soil, and life existed almost entirely in the oceans. Then something amazing happened: plants began to grow on land. The journey of plants started with simple green life-forms like algae (藻类), which have been living in oceans and lakes for over a billion years. Using sunlight, water and CO₂, algae make sugars as well as oxygen through photosynthesis (光合作用). At first, Earth’s atmosphere had little oxygen, but algae, along with some bacteria, changed that over millions of years. This made it possible for larger and more complex life forms to appear. The first true plants developed from green algae 470 million years ago. Living in shallow water near shores, they were sometimes underwater and sometimes above the surface. Slowly, they adapted to dry land with many new features. These included stronger cell walls, which enabled plants to stand upright against gravity. They also developed rootlike structures to hold onto the soil and take water and nutrients. The earliest land plants stayed close to the ground. Some, like Cooksonia, had small stems only about 2.5 to 5 centimeters tall. Though small, these plants made a big impact. Besides adding oxygen to the air, they used their roots to break down rocks into soil. This process, called weathering, created richer soil that could support more life. The plants also provided homes and food sources for animals moving from oceans onto land. Around 420 million years ago, plants developed tiny tubes that move water and nutrients upward from the roots to the leaves. This allowed plants to grow taller and stronger. By about 360 million years ago, forests covered much of Earth. Another big leap happened around 380 million years ago with the development of seeds. This meant plants could reproduce without needing water for fertilization. Flowering plants then came along about 140 million years ago. Their flowers attracted animals to spread pollen, and their fruits helped protect the seeds. Plants changed the atmosphere, built soil and created ecosystems that allowed animals to develop on land. Thanks to plant evolution, Earth became a green planet full of diverse life. 56. According to the text, what role did algae play in Earth’s history? A. They reduced the number of bacteria in the oceans. B. They helped increase oxygen in the atmosphere. C. They evolved directly into complex life forms. D. They significantly decreased CO2 levels in the air. 57. Why were early land plants able to stand upright? A. They had deep root systems. B. They took in enough sunlight. C. They lived in shallow water. D. They developed stronger cell walls. 58. What is the main idea of paragraph 4? A. The formation of soil through weathering. B. The multiple effects of early land plants. C. The challenges early land plants faced. D. The role of plants in supporting animal life. 59. What can be inferred from the text about the period when seeds first appeared? A. Plants started to develop tiny tubes. B. Forests spread across most of Earth’s land. C. Plants could reproduce without depending on water. D. Flowering plants were already common on Earth. 60. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. How weathering created soil. B. The rise of flowering plants. C. The first animals on land. D. Seeding the future. 【答案】56. B 57. D 58. B 59. C 60. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了地球上植物从海洋中的藻类逐步演化到陆地植物，再到种子植物和开花植物的漫长历程，以及植物进化如何改变了大气、形成了土壤并为陆地动物的发展创造了条件。 【56题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Using sunlight, water and CO₂, algae make sugars as well as oxygen through photosynthesis. At first, Earth's atmosphere had little oxygen, but algae, along with some bacteria, changed that over millions of years. (藻类利用阳光、水和二氧化碳通过光合作用制造糖和氧气。起初，地球大气层中几乎没有氧气，但藻类和一些细菌在数百万年间改变了这一点。)”可知，藻类通过光合作用帮助增加了大气中的氧气含量。 【57题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“These included stronger cell walls, which enabled plants to stand upright against gravity. (这些新特征包括更坚固的细胞壁，使植物能够抵抗重力直立生长。)”可知，早期陆地植物能够直立是因为它们发展出了更坚固的细胞壁。 【58题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“Besides adding oxygen to the air, they used their roots to break down rocks into soil. This process, called weathering, created richer soil that could support more life. The plants also provided homes and food sources for animals moving from oceans onto land. (除了向空气中补充氧气外，它们还利用根系将岩石分解为土壤。这一被称为风化的过程形成了更肥沃的土壤，从而能够支持更多的生命生长。这些植物也为从海洋迁徙至陆地的动物提供了栖息地和食物来源。)”可知，本段主要讲述了早期陆地植物产生的多方面影响，包括增加氧气、形成土壤、为动物提供栖息地和食物等。 【59题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段“Another big leap happened around 380 million years ago with the development of seeds. This meant plants could reproduce without needing water for fertilization. (大约3.8亿年前，随着种子的发展，又发生了一次重大飞跃。这意味着植物可以在不需要水来受精的情况下繁殖。)”可知，种子出现后，植物可以不依赖水进行繁殖。 【60题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章讲述了植物从藻类到开花植物的漫长进化历程，以及植物如何改变地球、为未来生命奠定基础。D项“Seeding the future”既指种子的出现，又暗含“为未来播下种子”之意，最能概括全文主旨，适合作标题。 C Being attractive isn’t usually considered much of a disadvantage in today’s world. Actually, there is the endless potential benefit about it, but researchers have found one area that being pretty makes life a challenge: securing yourself a boring, low-paying job. This stands in contrast to a large body of research that attractiveness, in general, helps candidates in the selection process. For the most part good looks is a blessing. We treat pretty people more favorably in general, often vote for them more in elections, and pay them more in their professions. The research suggests that attractive people may be discriminated against in selection for relatively less desirable jobs. Researchers carried out four experiments involving more than 750 participants, including university students and managers who make hiring decisions in the real world. Participants were shown photos of two potential job candidates, one attractive and the other unattractive. Participants were then asked a series of questions designed to measure their opinions of the job candidates and whether they would hire these candidates for a less-than-desirable job. The less desirable jobs included a warehouse worker, housekeeper, customer service representative and the more desirable jobs included things like a manager, project director, IT technician. In all experiments where they were asked, participants were significantly less likely to hire the attractive candidate for the less desirable job and more likely to hire the attractive candidate for the more desirable job. Ms Lee said, “In the selection decision for an undesirable job, decision makers were more likely to choose the unattractive individual over the attractive individual.” Co-author Dr Madan Pillutla said, “It is interesting that decision makers consider others’ opinions in their decisions. They thought that attractive individuals would want better outcomes, and therefore would be less satisfied, so they favored unattractive candidates when selecting for a less desirable job.” The research also suggests the established view that attractive candidates are favored when applying for jobs that might be limited to high-level jobs. 61. What do people generally think of being attractive? A. It is a blessing. B. It is not important. C. It is a disadvantage. D. It has nothing to do with jobs. 62. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. The participants of the experiment. B. The importance of the experiment. C. The process of the experiment. D. The result of the experiment. 63. An ordinary-looking graduate may have an advantage when applying for ________. A. a manager B. an IT technician C. a warehouse worker D. a project director 64. Why are less attractive applicants preferred for less desirable jobs? A. Because they are more hardworking. B. Because they will be more satisfied. C. Because they will want better outcomes. D. Because they have no requirements at all. 65. Which of the following agrees with the research? A. Attractive people are more fit for high-level jobs. B. Less attractive people are easy to find high-level jobs. C. Attractive people can always be hired when applying for jobs. D. Less attractive people can easily get highly paid if they work hard. 【答案】61. A 62. C 63. C 64. B 65. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了研究发现外表有吸引力在大多数情况下是一种优势，但在申请枯燥、低薪等不太理想的工作时反而会成为劣势，并通过四个实验验证了这一现象，同时解释了其背后的原因。 【61题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“For the most part good looks is a blessing. We treat pretty people more favorably in general, often vote for them more in elections, and pay them more in their professions. (在大多数情况下，好长相是一种福气。我们通常对漂亮的人更友好，在选举中更常投票给他们，在职业中也付给他们更多的薪水。)”可知，人们普遍认为有吸引力是一种福气。 【62题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Researchers carried out four experiments involving more than 750 participants, including university students and managers who make hiring decisions in the real world. Participants were shown photos of two potential job candidates, one attractive and the other unattractive. Participants were then asked a series of questions designed to measure their opinions of the job candidates and whether they would hire these candidates for a less-than-desirable job. (研究人员开展了四项实验，共招募了750多名参与者，其中包括大学生以及在现实工作中负责招聘决策的管理人员。研究人员向参与者展示了两名潜在求职者的照片，其中一名颇具吸引力，另一名则缺乏吸引力。随后，研究人员向参与者提出了一系列问题，旨在评估他们对求职者的评价，以及是否会雇用这些候选人从事不理想的工作。)”可知，本段主要介绍了实验是如何进行的，即实验的过程。 【63题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“The less desirable jobs included a warehouse worker, housekeeper, customer service representative and the more desirable jobs included things like a manager, project director, IT technician. In all experiments where they were asked, participants were significantly less likely to hire the attractive candidate for the less desirable job and more likely to hire the attractive candidate for the more desirable job. (不太理想的工作岗位包括仓库工人、客房服务员和客户服务代表；而更理想的工作岗位则包括经理、项目总监和IT技术员等职位。在所有被要求进行的实验中，参与者雇佣具有吸引力的候选人担任不太理想职位的可能性显著降低，而雇佣其担任更理想职位的可能性则显著增加。)”可知，外表普通的求职者在申请仓库工人这类不太理想的工作时更有优势。 【64题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“They thought that attractive individuals would want better outcomes, and therefore would be less satisfied, so they favored unattractive candidates when selecting for a less desirable job. (他们认为有吸引力的人会想要更好的结果，因此会不太满意，所以在选择不太理想的工作时他们更青睐没有吸引力的候选人。)”可知，决策者选择外表不那么吸引人的求职者是因为他们认为这些人会对工作更满意。 【65题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The research also suggests the established view that attractive candidates are favored when applying for jobs that might be limited to high-level jobs. (该研究还支持了一个已有的观点，即有吸引力的求职者在申请可能仅限于高层的工作时更受青睐。)”可知，研究表明有吸引力的人更适合高层工作。 第Ⅱ卷 注意事项： 1.用黑色墨水的钢笔或签字笔将答案写在答题卡上。 2.本卷共6小题, 共30分。 第四部分：写作 第一节：阅读表达（共5小题; 每小题2分, 满分10分） 阅读短文, 按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 Papa, as a son of a dirt poor farmer, left school early and went to work in a factory, for education was for the rich then. So, he was determined that none of his children would be denied an education. Thus, Papa insisted that we learn at least one new thing each day. And dinner time seemed perfect for sharing what we had learned. We would talk about the news of the day; no matter how insignificant, it was never taken lightly. Papa would listen carefully and was ready with some comment, always to the point. Then came the moment — the time to share the day’s new learning. Papa, at the head of the table, would push back his chair and pour a glass of red wine, ready to listen. “Felice,” he’d say, “tell me what you learned today.” “I learned that the population of Nepal is...” Silence. Papa was thinking about what was said, as if the salvation of the world would depend upon it. “The population of Nepal. Hmm. Well...” he’d say. “Get the map; let’s see where Nepal is.” And the whole family went on a search for Nepal. This same experience was repeated until each family member had a turn. Dinner ended only after we had a clear understanding of at least half a dozen such facts. As children, we thought very little about these educational wonders. Our family, however, was growing together, sharing experiences and participating in one another’s education. And by looking at us, listening to us, respecting our input, affirming our value, giving us a sense of dignity, Papa was unquestionably our most influential teacher. Later during my training as a future teacher, I studied with some of the most famous educators. They were imparting what Papa had known all along — the value of continual learning. His technique has served me well all my life. 66. What did the author’s father think of his children’s education? (no more than 10 words) ________________________________________________________________ 67. What does the underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refer to? (no more than 2 words) ________________________________________________________________ 68. Why did the author’s father ask the family to search for Nepal on the map? (no more than 15 words) ________________________________________________________________ 69. What has served the author well all his life? (no more than 8 words) ________________________________________________________________ 70. How are you inspired by the author’s father? Please explain. (no more than 25 words) ________________________________________________________________ 【答案】66. - He thought none of his children should be denied an education. - He was determined that all his children must receive education. - Education was so important that every child must get it. - He believed every child deserved a chance to learn. 67. - Daily news. - The news. 68. - To find out where Nepal is located on the map. - To locate Nepal and make the fact more concrete. - To make sure they truly understood the new fact. - To help them clearly understand what they had learned. 69. - His father’s technique of continual learning. - The value of lifelong learning. - His father’s educational method. - Papa’s way of teaching. 70. - I’m inspired to value daily learning and make it a family activity, just like Papa did. - He teaches me to listen patiently and help others discover knowledge themselves. - I learn that small daily habits, like sharing new facts, can build strong character. - His respect for children’s input reminds me to treat everyone’s ideas with dignity. - I will follow his example: turn every dinner into a chance to learn together. 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了父亲重视教育并鼓励家人持续学习的故事。 【66题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第一段“So, he was determined that none of his children would be denied an education. (因此，他下定决心，绝不让自己的任何一个孩子失去受教育的机会。)”可知，作者的父亲认为他的孩子们都不应该被剥夺受教育的权利，即他决心让所有孩子都接受教育，认为教育对每个孩子都很重要，每个孩子都应有机会学习。 【67题详解】 考查词句猜测。根据第二段“We would talk about the news of the day; no matter how insignificant, it was never taken lightly. (我们会谈论当天的新闻；无论它多么微不足道，都绝不会被轻视。)”可知，“it”指代的是“每日新闻”或“新闻”。 【68题详解】 考查细节理解。根据倒数第四段““Get the map; let’s see where Nepal is.” And the whole family went on a search for Nepal. (“拿来地图；我们看看尼泊尔在哪儿。”于是全家人开始一起查找尼泊尔的位置。)”和倒数第三段“Dinner ended only after we had a clear understanding of at least half a dozen such facts. (只有当我们对至少五六个这样的事实有了清晰的理解之后，晚餐才会结束。)”可知，作者的父亲让家人在地图上寻找尼泊尔，是为了确定尼泊尔在地图上的位置，确保他们真正理解了这个新事实，帮助他们清楚地理解所学内容。 【69题详解】 考查细节理解。根据最后一段“They were imparting what Papa had known all along — the value of continual learning. His technique has served me well all my life. (他们传授的正是父亲一直以来所深知的东西——持续学习的价值。他的教育方法让我终生受益。)”可知，让作者一生受益的是他父亲不断学习的技巧，即终身学习的价值、父亲的教育方法或教学方式。 【70题详解】 开放性题目。此题要求谈谈作者父亲的做法对你有哪些启发，并简要解释，答案不唯一，合理即可。例如：作者父亲的做法启发了我，让我重视日常学习，并像他那样把它变成一项家庭活动。/ 他教会我要耐心倾听，并帮助他人自己去发现知识。/ 我明白了，像分享新知识这样的小小日常习惯，能够塑造坚强的品格。/ 他尊重孩子的见解，这提醒我要以尊重的态度对待每个人的想法。/ 我将以他为榜样：把每一次晚餐都变成共同学习的机会。 第二节：书面表达（满分20分） 71. 假定你是高中生李津，在你的外国笔友 Chris 的博客上，看到如下内容： Chris Any thoughts? Posted on April 21nd, 2026 9:00 PM I can’t understand why some people spend their whole life doing just one thing. I know these activities require time and effort to do, but I’d rather try as many different things as possible. I don’t want to regret things when I’m old! Li Jin Reply to Chris Posted on April 22nd, 2026 10:00 AM Hi, Chris,… 请你根据博客内容和写作要点，用英语回复 Chris。 要求： （1）表明自己的看法（同意、部分同意还是不同意）； （2）举例说明自己的理由（可以是名人、身边的人或自己的例子）； （3）期待收到他的进一步回复，并表达愿意继续交流这个话题。 注意： （1）词数不少于100； （2）可适当加入细节，以使内容充实、行文连贯。 ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Possible version 1: Hi, Chris, I totally agree with you. Trying as many different things as possible is a great way to live life to the fullest. Take my cousin as an example. He has tried painting, playing guitar, and even learning to cook. Each new skill brought him joy and new friends. He told me that even though he’s not an expert in any of them, he has no regrets because he truly enjoyed the journey. If we only do one thing, we might miss other passions that suit us better. Life is short, so why not explore more? I really hope to hear more about your experiences. Let’s keep this conversation going! Possible version 2: Hi, Chris, I partly agree with you. Trying different things is exciting and helps us find our true interests. However, I also believe that focusing on one thing can bring deep satisfaction. For example, my English teacher has been teaching for twenty years. She once told me that she tried different jobs in her twenties, but after she chose teaching, she found her true calling. Now her students love her and she feels proud of her work. So I think we should explore when we are young, but once we find what we love, it’s okay to stick with it. Looking forward to your reply. Let’s discuss more! Possible version 3: Hi, Chris, I understand your point, but I’m afraid I don’t agree. I believe spending a lifetime on one thing can lead to real mastery and lasting happiness. Take the scientist Yuan Longping for example. He spent most of his life researching rice and finally developed hybrid rice, which fed billions of people. He once said that he never regretted his choice because he saw the results of his hard work. Trying many things may be fun, but depth matters more than breadth. Without focus, we may never achieve anything truly great. I’d love to hear what you think about this. Hope to get your reply soon! 【解析】 【导语】要求考生以李津的名义，根据博客内容回复Chris，需表明自己的看法，说明理由并期待进一步交流话题。 【详解】1.词汇积累（参照范文2） 不同的：different→diverse/multiple 令人兴奋的：exciting→thrilling 满足：satisfaction→contentment 坚持：stick with →hold on to 2.句式拓展 同义句 原句：However, I also believe that focusing on one thing can bring deep satisfaction. 拓展句：However, I also have a firm belief that focusing on one thing can bring deep satisfaction. 【点睛】【高分句型1】However, I also believe that focusing on one thing can bring deep satisfaction. (运用了that引导宾语从句) 【高分句型2】So I think we should explore when we are young, but once we find what we love, it’s okay to stick with it. (运用了省略了that的宾语从句、when引导时间状语从句和what引导宾语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $第一节听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的AB、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你将有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。Excuse me, can you tell me if i'm headed in the right directions?
