Abisko: A reliable Aurora Spot with Clear Skies Abisko is considered one of the world’s best places to watch the Northern Lights. Thanks to its location among surrounding mountains, Abisko National Park often has clear skies even when nearby areas are cloudy, making it one of Sweden’s most reliable aurora spots. For a wonderful experience, take the chairlift to the Aurora Sky Station, where you can enjoy wide views from the observation tower and visit the Northern Lights exhibition. Kiruna: A Lively Arctic Base for Aurora Adventures Kiruna, Sweden’s northernmost city, is a vibrant Arctic center and an ideal starting point for aurora adventures. Local companies can guide you to find the lights by car, snowmobile, or even dog sled. You can reach Kiruna by a long but beautiful train ride from Stockholm or a short flight. A popular hotel just outside the city even lets you view the aurora from its outdoor pool. Jukkasjärvi: Icehotel & Aurora Tour Experiences A short drive from Kiruna brings you to the small village of Jukkasjärvi. It is home to the world-known Icehotel, built completely from ice and snow every year. Staying here is special, and you can join a Northern Lights tour offered by the hotel. Options include a snowmobile trip with a cabin dinner or a photo tour with help from experts. Gällivare: Ideal Aurora Base with Festive Charm Gällivare, a small Arctic town, has great conditions for spotting the Northern Lights. Dundret, a ski resort and mountain near the town center, offers slopes and summits for aurora viewing with guided tours available. Each autumn, it hosts the Dundret Gällivare Outdoor Festival, celebrating darkness, cold and the aurora. With easy access and nearby winter activities, Gällivare is an ideal base for your trip. 21．What makes Abisko a reliable place to watch the Northern Lights? A．It has the best place in the Arctic Circle. B．Its special location helps result in clear skies. C．The observation tower at Aurora Sky Station. D．Various exhibitions about the Northern Lights. 22．What do Kiruna, Jukkasjärvi, and Gällivare have in common? A．They all have a world-famous hotel. B．They are all within easy reach of each other. C．They all offer guided Northern Lights tours. D．They all host annual festivals celebrating the aurora. 23．Where is the passage probably taken from? A．A travel guidebook. B．A science magazine. C．A geography textbook. D．A daily newspaper. B All kinds of devices, from computers and TVs to elevators and traffic lights, need electricity to run. So it’s important to have an electrician—an expert in electricity-on hand. Yordanys Torres is a master electrician. It’s the top rank in this trade. Torres was born in Cuba and studied electrical engineering in college. In 2007, at 26, he landed a job as an apprentice in New York City. He spent his days working alongside an experienced electrician. In the evenings, he learned the science of electricity and the ins and outs of electrical systems, including how to set up and fix them. While training, apprentices get paid for the work they do. Their employers usually cover the cost of their education. Torres completed his apprenticeship through United Service Workers Union (USWU) Local 363 in New York. For Torres, an apprenticeship was a game-changer. “You can become well-rounded because you know theory and the practical side of the field,” he told Your Hot Job. After training, Torres was able to apply for a permit to work as an independent electrician. For a time, he worked on an upgrade of New York City’s extensive subway system. If electricians want to level up their career, they can become master electricians, like Torres Usually, this requires several more years of experience and passing a tough exam. Becoming a master electrician opened even more doors for Torres. He was able to start his own company, YT Electrical Services, and now hires other electricians to work for him. These days, Torres is also working with an apprenticeship program with USWU Local 363 devotedly. “Helping young electricians enter the field is comforting. Also, I like being an instructor because it keeps my skills sharp,” he said. 24．What does the underlined word “apprentice” probably mean in paragraph 2? A．Trainee. B．Instructor. C．Repairman. D．Engineer. 25．What did Torres do after his apprenticeship? A．He got a well-paid job immediately. B．He built a subway system in New York. C．He applied to be an independent electrician. D．He changed the rules of being an electrician. 26．What’s the requirement for becoming a master electrician? A．Setting up a company. B．Passing a difficult exam. C．Teaching new electricians. D．Becoming a member of USWU. 27．Which of the following can best describe Torres? A．Honest and generous. B．Tough and humorous. C．Easygoing and creative. D．Hardworking and helpful. C Writer Chloe Dalton discovered an unexpected teacher in nature when a damaged internet cable, chewed by a brown hare (野兔) in her countryside home, brought not annoyance but concern for the animal. This marked a significant shift for Dalton, whose book Raising Hare records her relationship with a hare she rescued in early 2021. She discovered a newborn hare near her house, unguarded by a nest or its mother. At first, she left it, hot wanting to disturb nature’s course. But when she returned hours later to find the hare still there, exposed to the rough weather and potential enemies, she nervously took it home, without any knowledge of hare care. She carefully fed it milk with a dropper. While there was plenty of rabbit advice online, hares were still mysterious. Refusing to domesticate the hare, Dalton let it move freely in her home, adjusting her busy life to match its habits. Its simple life reshaped her view: “If I could get this much pleasure from something so simple,” she reflects, “what else might be waiting to be discovered?” Their life together ended the strong focus on her busy life and brought a greater awareness of the environment. In her book, Dalton gives historical context on the human-hare relationship and illustrates how horribly hares have often been treated. The brown hare population in Britain has declined 80 percent in the past century due to hunting and agriculture. The story provides a peaceful feeling with its delicate illustrations, but Dalton avoids idealizing nature, recognizing humans’ influence on animals. Animal encounter books are common, and the good ones act like peaceful countryside escapes. We already understand the basic outlines even without reading books with similar themes — Catherine Raven’s Fox & I and Helen Macdonald’s H Is for Hawk. But Dalton’s weak animal is much lower on the food chain, adding more suspense to Raising Hare: Will the small creature survive until the story ends? Dalton’s journey with her “weak companion” offers a reminder that healing (疗愈) often comes not from control, but from adjusting to nature. 28．What prevented Dalton from immediately rescuing the hare? A．Respect for nature. B．Lack of feeding knowledge. C．Attack from its enemies. D．Advice from conservationists. 29．How did the hare influence Dalton’s daily life? A．By damaging her home facilities. B．By reminding her to focus on writing. C．By requiring her constant care. D．By inspiring her to live a slow-paced life. 30．What distinguishes Raising Hare from other animal stories? A．Its description of idealized nature. B．Its delicate illustrations of the hare. C．Its stimulation of readers’ tension. D．Its focus on the knowledge of the hare. 31．What is the text? A．A news report. B．A short story. C．A research paper. D．A book review. D As we enter a period of profound economic uncertainty, presaged (预示) by recent high-profile layoffs and a culture of “quiet quitting”, thinking about the future of work might well seem a daunting (令人生畏的) prospect. Indeed, an ever-increasing digital skills gap threatens to stop businesses adopting the game-changing technologies that will help to power growth in the months and years ahead. For instance, with each exciting new technology comes a growing concern about whether we have a digitally savvy (精明的) workforce ready to take advantage of it. After all, keeping the workforce up to speed with the latest advances is a key element of the digital transformation process, which will prove essential if we hope to improve business productivity and efficiency alongside our efforts to achieve sustained growth. Likewise, at the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting in Davos, the cybersecurity skills gap was named as one particular area of concern. There’s good reason for this focus: if businesses can’t protect themselves against external threats, they risk going backwards. And that’s before they even start thinking about achieving growth. This is why we need to address the digital skills gap urgently. Well, we should start by changing the narrative to help us recruit and retain from a more diverse pool of talent, giving businesses a far better chance of finding the up-to-date digital skills they need. And, when it comes to engaging and empowering the current workforce, learning and development opportunities will be key, helping employees to improve their skills for the benefit of both themselves and their employers. To make this all happen, leaders and employers must demonstrate a commitment to teaching their workforces digital skills by setting clear expectations and providing all the resources required. One approach, for example, would be to focus on the potential in the existing talent pool by identifying those already skilled in digital capabilities and supporting them to upskill their colleagues. Creating a culture of learning, with an emphasis on personal growth, can be an impressive motivator in the workplace. Of course, it’s all well and good saying that digital skills are vital, but a workforce with purely hard skills will not future-proof a business. There’s a need for soft skills that support the broader goal, so as not to ignore the other competencies required in a digital transformation: communication, critical thinking, creative design skills, and leadership. To make full use of the technology, such qualities are equally important. Fundamentally, getting the interaction right between humans and technology will be paramount if businesses are to succeed. As a result, human skills must not be underestimated. Every business will need a range of people with a variety of skills — not only those well-versed in math, engineering, and science, but also those with creative minds and leadership qualities. 32．The writer’s main concern in the digital transformation process is ________. A．the threats from technology B．the challenge of upskilling workforces C．the culture of quiet quitting D．the shortage of experienced workers 33．It can be learned from Paragraph 4 and 5 that ________. A．replacing current workforces with digital talents is the key B．high requirements of recruitment ensure a sound workforce C．employers should develop a learning culture inside their workforces D．business leaders should focus on the training of the existing talent pool 34．What does the underlined word “paramount” in the last paragraph probably mean? A．Crucial. B．Beneficial. C．Challenging D．Inspiring 35．What might be the purpose of the passage? A．To advocate the necessity of improving digital skills. B．To warn humans of the potential problems with technology. C．To stress the importance of combining hard skills with soft skills. D．To draw people’s attention to the ever-increasing digital skills gap. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） Festivals are an important part of culture. 36 Let’s look at some interesting festival customs from different countries. 37 Festivals are not just about fun. They teach us about history and bring families and friends closer. For example, in China, the Spring Festival is a time for family reunions. People clean their homes, eat dumplings, and give red envelopes for good luck. 38 The Day of the Dead (Dia de los Muertos) is a colourful event. Families build altars with photos, flowers, and food to remember loved ones who have passed away. It is not a sad day but a celebration of life in Mexico. Food plays a big role. In many cultures, food is central to festivals. 39 During Thanksgiving in the US, families eat turkey and pumpkin pie. In India, sweets like ladoos are shared during Diwali, the festival of lights. Music and dance bring joy. During Brazil’s Carnival, people wear bright clothes and dance to samba music. In Spain, the La Tomatina festival involves throwing tomatoes for fun! 40 A．Why are festivals special? B．Another festival full of meaning is in Mexico. C．Many children enjoy receiving gifts during festivals. D．Different countries have a similar way of celebrating. E．These activities create happiness and unite communities. F．They bring people together and help keep traditions alive. G．For example, mooncakes are eaten during China’s Mid-Autumn Festival. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） Yesterday, I had a warm and unforgettable experience at a grocery store.

As a delivery rider, he had just finished a few smooth orders, his hands warm from the hot milk tea cups he’d been carrying, and his spirits fairly good. Stepping out of a milk tea shop, he found the spot where his second-hand electric bike had been parked now empty. In an instant, his heart sank, and a wave of hopelessness swept over him, turning his calm evening into a nightmare. That bike was far more than just a vehicle; it was his lifeline, the only way for him to earn daily income and cover his living expenses. Panic set in as he remembered the undelivered orders — especially a cup of hot milk tea for Ms. White, a regular customer. His hand trembled as he pressed the voice button, his words laced with sorrow and anxiety as he apologized repeatedly, offering to pay for the undelivered drink. To his great surprise, Ms. White did not respond with anger or complaint, but with gentle kindness. Ms. White told him not to worry and to take his time finding his bike. Her understanding words calmed him, but also deepened his sense of responsibility. “She is so kind. I cannot let her down,” he thought. For nearly two hours, he searched every nearby street, but there was no sign of his bike. As night grew darker and the wind bit harder, Jack clenched his fists and made a firm decision. He took out his poor savings, bought a bag of fresh apples and a new cup of hot milk tea, then set off on foot to Ms. White’s apartment, several kilometers away. The wind bit into his thin jacket, and his old shoes grew heavy with mud, but the thought of keeping his promise and maintaining his integrity kept him moving forward through the dimly lit urban landscape. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Finally, breathless, Jack reached Ms. White’s doorstep and rang the bell. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Deeply moved by Jack’s action, Ms. White decided to share the story online that night. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025--2026学年高一英语下学期期末模拟练习卷 北师大版 解析卷 （考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：150分） 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。 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，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分 30 分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 1．What is Martin waiting for?

W: I’m hoping to open my own little art studio someday. It needs quite a bit of money, so I’m trying to save up by winning some prizes. M: An art studio? That sounds cool. What kind of studio? W: An art studio for children in the countryside whose parents work far away. I believe they should have the chance to learn painting, just like us. M: That’s such a beautiful idea. I really think you can make it happen. It reminds me that I should also work hard to do something meaningful for others. 听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。 18．What does the speaker want to stress by mentioning Thomas Edison? A．The value of learning from mistakes. B．The crucial role of hard work. C．The importance of setting goals. 19．What did the speaker do in his second year of high school? A．He invented a mini light bulb. B．He entered a speech contest. C．He joined a debate team. 20．What does the speaker suggest doing in the end? A．Being careful. B．Keeping trying. C．Getting prepared. 【答案】18．A 19．B 20．B 【原文】M: Making mistakes is a natural part of learning. In fact, some of the best lessons in life come from trial and error. Take Thomas Edison, the inventor of the light bulb, as an example. He tried thousands of times before finding the right material that worked. When asked about his failures, he said, “I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.” In my own life, I’ve learned a lot by trying and failing. In my first year of high school, I joined the debate team. I was nervous and forgot my lines during my first debate. It was embarrassing, but it showed me the importance of confidence. I also remember signing up for a school speech contest the next year. I wrote my speech draft the night before and didn’t have time to practice much. I didn’t win the contest, but I learned to prepare earlier. These mistakes helped me get better. Everyone could make mistakes — even the smartest and most successful people. What matters is what you do after the mistake. So keep trying, keep learning, and remember: Every mistake is a step forward. 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A For those dreaming of seeing the Northern Lights, Sweden’s Arctic region offers perfect chances to make it happen.

So it’s important to have an electrician—an expert in electricity-on hand. Yordanys Torres is a master electrician. It’s the top rank in this trade. Torres was born in Cuba and studied electrical engineering in college. In 2007, at 26, he landed a job as an apprentice in New York City. He spent his days working alongside an experienced electrician. In the evenings, he learned the science of electricity and the ins and outs of electrical systems, including how to set up and fix them. While training, apprentices get paid for the work they do. Their employers usually cover the cost of their education. Torres completed his apprenticeship through United Service Workers Union (USWU) Local 363 in New York. For Torres, an apprenticeship was a game-changer. “You can become well-rounded because you know theory and the practical side of the field,” he told Your Hot Job. After training, Torres was able to apply for a permit to work as an independent electrician. For a time, he worked on an upgrade of New York City’s extensive subway system. If electricians want to level up their career, they can become master electricians, like Torres Usually, this requires several more years of experience and passing a tough exam. Becoming a master electrician opened even more doors for Torres. He was able to start his own company, YT Electrical Services, and now hires other electricians to work for him. These days, Torres is also working with an apprenticeship program with USWU Local 363 devotedly. “Helping young electricians enter the field is comforting. Also, I like being an instructor because it keeps my skills sharp,” he said. 24．What does the underlined word “apprentice” probably mean in paragraph 2? A．Trainee. B．Instructor. C．Repairman.

This marked a significant shift for Dalton, whose book Raising Hare records her relationship with a hare she rescued in early 2021. She discovered a newborn hare near her house, unguarded by a nest or its mother. At first, she left it, hot wanting to disturb nature’s course. But when she returned hours later to find the hare still there, exposed to the rough weather and potential enemies, she nervously took it home, without any knowledge of hare care. She carefully fed it milk with a dropper. While there was plenty of rabbit advice online, hares were still mysterious. Refusing to domesticate the hare, Dalton let it move freely in her home, adjusting her busy life to match its habits. Its simple life reshaped her view: “If I could get this much pleasure from something so simple,” she reflects, “what else might be waiting to be discovered?” Their life together ended the strong focus on her busy life and brought a greater awareness of the environment. In her book, Dalton gives historical context on the human-hare relationship and illustrates how horribly hares have often been treated. The brown hare population in Britain has declined 80 percent in the past century due to hunting and agriculture. The story provides a peaceful feeling with its delicate illustrations, but Dalton avoids idealizing nature, recognizing humans’ influence on animals. Animal encounter books are common, and the good ones act like peaceful countryside escapes. We already understand the basic outlines even without reading books with similar themes — Catherine Raven’s Fox & I and Helen Macdonald’s H Is for Hawk. But Dalton’s weak animal is much lower on the food chain, adding more suspense to Raising Hare: Will the small creature survive until the story ends? Dalton’s journey with her “weak companion” offers a reminder that healing (疗愈) often comes not from control, but from adjusting to nature. 28．What prevented Dalton from immediately rescuing the hare? A．Respect for nature. B．Lack of feeding knowledge. C．Attack from its enemies. D．Advice from conservationists. 29．How did the hare influence Dalton’s daily life? A．By damaging her home facilities. B．By reminding her to focus on writing. C．By requiring her constant care. D．By inspiring her to live a slow-paced life. 30．What distinguishes Raising Hare from other animal stories? A．Its description of idealized nature. B．Its delicate illustrations of the hare. C．Its stimulation of readers’ tension. D．Its focus on the knowledge of the hare. 31．What is the text? A．A news report. B．A short story. C．A research paper. D．A book review. 【答案】28．A 29．D 30．C 31．D 【导语】本文是一篇书评，介绍了作家Chloe Dalton的书籍《Raising Hare》，讲述了她与一只野兔的相处经历，以及这段经历如何改变了她的生活态度和对自然的认识。 【详解】28．细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“At first, she left it, not wanting to disturb nature’s course.(起初，她选择离开，不想干扰自然的进程。)”可知，Dalton最初没有立即救助野兔是因为她尊重自然的规律。故选A。 29．细节理解题。根据文章第三段中“Its simple life reshaped her view: ‘If I could get this much pleasure from something so simple,’ she reflects, ‘what else might be waiting to be discovered?’(野兔的简单生活重塑了她的观点：“如果我能从如此简单的事物中获得如此多的快乐，”她反思道，“还有什么等待我去发现？”)”可知，野兔让Dalton开始思考慢节奏生活的意义。故选D。 30．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“But Dalton’s weak animal is much lower on the food chain, adding more suspense to Raising Hare: Will the small creature survive until the story ends?(但Dalton笔下的弱小动物在食物链中更低，为《Raising Hare》增添了更多悬念：这个小生物能否活到故事结束？)”可推知，这本书与其他动物故事的不同之处在于它激发了读者的紧张感。故选C。 31．推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段中“But Dalton’s weak animal is much lower on the food chain, adding more suspense to Raising Hare: Will the small creature survive until the story ends? Dalton’s journey with her “weak companion” offers a reminder that healing (疗愈) often comes not from control, but from adjusting to nature.(但达尔顿笔下这只弱小的动物在食物链中的位置要低得多，这为《养兔记》增添了更多悬念：这个小生命能否活到故事结尾？达尔顿与这位“弱小同伴”的旅程提醒我们：疗愈往往并非来自掌控，而是源于顺应自然。)”对书籍的评论和与其他动物书籍的对比，可推知本文是对Raising Hare这本书的评述。故选D。 D As we enter a period of profound economic uncertainty, presaged (预示) by recent high-profile layoffs and a culture of “quiet quitting”, thinking about the future of work might well seem a daunting (令人生畏的) prospect. Indeed, an ever-increasing digital skills gap threatens to stop businesses adopting the game-changing technologies that will help to power growth in the months and years ahead. For instance, with each exciting new technology comes a growing concern about whether we have a digitally savvy (精明的) workforce ready to take advantage of it. After all, keeping the workforce up to speed with the latest advances is a key element of the digital transformation process, which will prove essential if we hope to improve business productivity and efficiency alongside our efforts to achieve sustained growth. Likewise, at the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting in Davos, the cybersecurity skills gap was named as one particular area of concern. There’s good reason for this focus: if businesses can’t protect themselves against external threats, they risk going backwards. And that’s before they even start thinking about achieving growth. This is why we need to address the digital skills gap urgently. Well, we should start by changing the narrative to help us recruit and retain from a more diverse pool of talent, giving businesses a far better chance of finding the up-to-date digital skills they need. And, when it comes to engaging and empowering the current workforce, learning and development opportunities will be key, helping employees to improve their skills for the benefit of both themselves and their employers. To make this all happen, leaders and employers must demonstrate a commitment to teaching their workforces digital skills by setting clear expectations and providing all the resources required. One approach, for example, would be to focus on the potential in the existing talent pool by identifying those already skilled in digital capabilities and supporting them to upskill their colleagues. Creating a culture of learning, with an emphasis on personal growth, can be an impressive motivator in the workplace. Of course, it’s all well and good saying that digital skills are vital, but a workforce with purely hard skills will not future-proof a business. There’s a need for soft skills that support the broader goal, so as not to ignore the other competencies required in a digital transformation: communication, critical thinking, creative design skills, and leadership. To make full use of the technology, such qualities are equally important. Fundamentally, getting the interaction right between humans and technology will be paramount if businesses are to succeed. As a result, human skills must not be underestimated. Every business will need a range of people with a variety of skills — not only those well-versed in math, engineering, and science, but also those with creative minds and leadership qualities. 32．The writer’s main concern in the digital transformation process is ________. A．the threats from technology B．the challenge of upskilling workforces C．the culture of quiet quitting D．the shortage of experienced workers 33．It can be learned from Paragraph 4 and 5 that ________. A．replacing current workforces with digital talents is the key B．high requirements of recruitment ensure a sound workforce C．employers should develop a learning culture inside their workforces D．business leaders should focus on the training of the existing talent pool 34．What does the underlined word “paramount” in the last paragraph probably mean? A．Crucial. B．Beneficial. C．Challenging D．Inspiring 35．What might be the purpose of the passage? A．To advocate the necessity of improving digital skills. B．To warn humans of the potential problems with technology. C．To stress the importance of combining hard skills with soft skills. D．To draw people’s attention to the ever-increasing digital skills gap. 【答案】32．B 33．C 34．A 35．C 【导语】文章探讨了在当前经济不确定性背景下，数字技能缺口对企业采用新技术、推动增长的阻碍，强调提升员工数字技能对数字转型的重要性。 【详解】32．细节理解题。根据第二段中“After all, keeping the workforce up to speed with the latest advances is a key element of the digital transformation process, which will prove essential if we hope to improve business productivity and efficiency alongside our efforts to achieve sustained growth. (毕竟，让员工跟上最新进展是数字化转型过程的一个关键要素，如果我们希望在实现持续增长的努力中提高企业生产力和效率，这一点将被证明是至关重要的。)”以及第三段中“This is why we need to address the digital skills gap urgently. (这就是为什么我们需要紧急解决数字技能差距问题。)”可知，作者在数字化转型过程中主要关注的是提升员工技能的挑战。 33．推理判断题。根据第四段中“And, when it comes to engaging and empowering the current workforce, learning and development opportunities will be key, helping employees to improve their skills for the benefit of both themselves and their employers. (而且，在吸引和赋能现有员工方面，学习和发展机会将是关键，帮助员工提升技能，既有利于自己，也有利于雇主。)”以及第五段中“Creating a culture of learning, with an emphasis on personal growth, can be an impressive motivator in the workplace. (创造一种强调个人成长的学习文化，可以成为工作场所中令人印象深刻的激励因素。)”可知，雇主应该在员工中培养一种学习文化。 34．词句猜测题。根据最后一段中“Fundamentally, getting the interaction right between humans and technology will be paramount if businesses are to succeed. (从根本上说，如果企业要成功，正确处理人与技术之间的互动将是paramount。)”以及后文“As a result, human skills must not be underestimated. (因此，人的技能不能被低估。)”可知，正确处理人与技术之间的互动对企业成功至关重要，由此可推知，paramount意为“至关重要的”，与Crucial意思相近。 35．推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是根据第二段中“Indeed, an ever-increasing digital skills gap threatens to stop businesses adopting the game-changing technologies that will help to power growth in the months and years ahead. (事实上，日益扩大的数字技能差距有可能阻止企业采用改变游戏规则的技术，而这些技术将有助于在未来几个月和几年推动增长。)”以及第三段中“This is why we need to address the digital skills gap urgently. (这就是为什么我们需要紧急解决数字技能差距问题。)”以及最后一段中“Every business will need a range of people with a variety of skills — not only those well-versed in math, engineering, and science, but also those with creative minds and leadership qualities. (每个企业都需要一系列具有各种技能的人——不仅包括精通数学、工程和科学的人，还包括具有创造性思维和领导才能的人。)”可知，文章主要论述了数字技能差距对企业数字化转型的挑战，并强调了提升员工技能和培养学习文化的重要性，同时指出企业需要结合硬技能和软技能，才能成功应对未来的挑战。由此可推知，文章的写作目的是强调将硬技能与软技能相结合的重要性。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） Festivals are an important part of culture. 36 Let’s look at some interesting festival customs from different countries. 37 Festivals are not just about fun.

I went there to buy some daily necessities and 41 quickly without waiting. When I returned to my car, I realized I had 42 to buy a few small items. I went back inside and headed for the right area, yet I 43 to find exactly what I wanted. I spent about five minutes choosing 44 before going to the checkout. Several registers were 45 , but every customer in line had a large number of goods. Disliking self-checkout, I finally picked a line where the customer seemed to have the 46 items. I got in line and noticed they were a young 47 : Dad, Mom and a baby in a carrier across Dad’s chest (胸膛). They were still 48 their cart when Dad looked at me and saw that I only had two items in my hand. The 49 father offered to let me go first.

As a delivery rider, he had just finished a few smooth orders, his hands warm from the hot milk tea cups he’d been carrying, and his spirits fairly good. Stepping out of a milk tea shop, he found the spot where his second-hand electric bike had been parked now empty. In an instant, his heart sank, and a wave of hopelessness swept over him, turning his calm evening into a nightmare. That bike was far more than just a vehicle; it was his lifeline, the only way for him to earn daily income and cover his living expenses. Panic set in as he remembered the undelivered orders — especially a cup of hot milk tea for Ms. White, a regular customer. His hand trembled as he pressed the voice button, his words laced with sorrow and anxiety as he apologized repeatedly, offering to pay for the undelivered drink. To his great surprise, Ms. White did not respond with anger or complaint, but with gentle kindness. Ms. White told him not to worry and to take his time finding his bike. Her understanding words calmed him, but also deepened his sense of responsibility. “She is so kind. I cannot let her down,” he thought. For nearly two hours, he searched every nearby street, but there was no sign of his bike. As night grew darker and the wind bit harder, Jack clenched his fists and made a firm decision. He took out his poor savings, bought a bag of fresh apples and a new cup of hot milk tea, then set off on foot to Ms. White’s apartment, several kilometers away. The wind bit into his thin jacket, and his old shoes grew heavy with mud, but the thought of keeping his promise and maintaining his integrity kept him moving forward through the dimly lit urban landscape. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Finally, breathless, Jack reached Ms. White’s doorstep and rang the bell. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Deeply moved by Jack’s action, Ms. White decided to share the story online that night. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Finally, breathless, Jack reached Ms. White’s doorstep and rang the bell. The door opened, revealing a woman whose expression shifted from curiosity to surprise and then to heartfelt sympathy as she saw the exhausted man before her. His clothes were dusty, but the gifts in his hands were held with care. “Ms. White, these are for you,” he grinned, offering the apples and milk tea. “Wishing you happiness and good health. I am truly sorry about the delay.” Tears welled up in Ms. White’s eyes. “Oh, Jack! You shouldn’t have walked such a long way just for this!” she said, her voice soft with emotion for his unshakable honesty, even amid his own misfortune! Deeply moved by Jack’s action, Ms. White decided to share the story online that night. She posted a video describing what happened, writing, “Even when caught in his own storm, he still reached out to warm others.” The post quickly went viral, receiving millions of likes and shares. Strangers were touched by the ordinary man’s extraordinary act. The wave of kindness soon reached his delivery company. They promptly responded, providing Jack with a brand-new e-bike and a cash reward to support his honest work. Even more wonderfully, with the help of numerous alert eyes online, his original bike was located and returned. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述外卖骑手Jack在11月的一个寒冷夜晚，赖以谋生的二手电动车被盗，陷入绝望；但他仍牢记未完成的订单，心怀愧疚；在得到顾客White女士谅解后，他步行数公里，自费送上苹果与热奶茶赔礼道歉，用行动坚守诚信与责任的暖心故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容 “终于，Jack气喘吁吁地赶到了White女士家门口，按响了门铃。” 可知，第一段可描写Jack见到 White女士后的场景，包括他疲惫的状态、送上礼物与真诚道歉，以及White女士的惊讶与感动。 ②由第二段首句内容 “White女士被Jack的举动深深打动，决定当晚在网上分享这个故事。” 可知，第二段可描写故事发布到网上后引发的热烈反响，以及Jack最终获得公司帮助、丢失的电动车被找回的圆满结局。 2.续写线索：电动车被盗→心怀愧疚致歉→顾客谅解→步行送赔礼→顾客深受感动→网络分享走红→获得公司奖励与帮助→丢失车辆找回 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①展示：reveal/show/display ②走红：go viral/spread widely/become popular ③定位，找到：locate/find/discover/track down 情绪类 ①由衷的同情：heartfelt sympathy/sincere concern/genuine pity ②疲惫不堪的：exhausted/tired out/worn-out/fatigued 【点睛】[高分句型1] The door opened, revealing a woman whose expression shifted from curiosity to surprise and then to heartfelt sympathy as she saw the exhausted man before her.
