B This summer I came face-to-face with three deep-rooted fears: heights, bears, and ageing. Two friends joined me on a four-day wilderness getaway, and since we were all in our seventies, we decided we’d better go while we still could. Our adventure began with a scary drive up a winding mountain road. On one hike, I found myself hanging onto a wire on a bridge made of two partly rotten (腐烂的) logs, suspended high above rushing rapids. I would never have attempted it without our guide ahead, mouthing encouraging words. Fixing my eyes on her boots, I inched along the shaky logs. Somehow, I made it across, flooded with a rush of intense excitement and huge relief. Later, after spotting bear tracks, we were told to make loud noises, which soon became a game once the tension faded. Until suddenly, time stood still. We had just crossed a stream when the guide whispered, “There’s a bear.” I looked up in disbelief and saw not one, but two, about ten meters above us — the brown mother in front, her cub behind. Though scared speechless, I couldn’t help noticing how beautiful they looked in their natural setting. I wondered if it would be my last memory. As they started towards us, we recovered enough to shout and wave our hiking poles. Taken aback, they stopped, and then slowly turned away. Another fear was overcome! On our final morning, after a quiet, thoughtful walk through the forest, we were asked to bring back a “meaningful” stick, rock, and leaf to share what would “stick” with us, what “rocked,” and what we would “leaf” behind. The bond of friendship would stick with me. Women supporting one another truly rocked. And I hoped to leave some fears behind. Our guide ended by expressing her admiration, praising not only our fitness but also our positive attitude, and saying she hoped to be like us in another thirty or forty years. Those unexpected words warmed my heart and eased my fear of being “over the hill.” Being valued for what we had accomplished felt like winning an Olympic medal — even if just for participation. 4. How did the author cross the bridge? A. By taking mindful steps. B. By rushing across it bravely. C. By using her sense of direction. D. By having the guide drag her over. 5. Why did the guide ask them for a stick, rock, and leaf? A. To pick up some souvenirs. B. To reflect on the journey. C. To symbolize their teamwork. D. To check their observation skills. 6. What does the underlined phrase “over the hill” in the last paragraph mean? A. Past the peak of youth. B. To high to go down. C. Out of place in society. D. Beyond physical limits. C Researchers from the University of Buenos Aires have successfully used a robotic tutor to teach the male chingolo, a kind of small bird in South America, a song that was once part of the species’ culture but had been lost for more than half a century. Male chingolos learn their unique, two-second melody from adult males. “It is a distinctive song — like a fingerprint, but learned,” says one of the researchers. “It serves to attract females and protect territory. It is the bird’s way of saying, “This is me, and here I am.” However, urbanization and habitat loss have broken this learning chain, causing local song “dialects” to disappear. Driven by this problem, researchers took on a pioneering task: bringing back a song that had disappeared from the wild — known only from a musical record made in the 1960s — to a population of chingolos. Using physics-based modeling of the bird’s vocal tract (声道) , the team first created an accurate artificial version of the lost song. They then engineered this model into a physical device designed to broadcast the forgotten melody — a “robotic tutor.” This artificial song was introduced to the chingolos in the park during their critical learning period from October to February. The sessions took place during peak singing hours and were limited to a maximum of eight hours. There were random pauses (停顿) in between so that the birds interpreted the playback from the three devices placed in the area as a real exchange, as if these devices were responding to each other. This stimulated the birds’ vocal responses. The results were impressive. Young chingolos learned and adopted the song, though they added their own population’s “accent” to the final trill (颤音) , which showed that their singing is shaped by learned behaviors and inborn characteristics. “This is about preserving not just genetic, but cultural biodiversity,” says another researcher. The team is now developing AI systems to automatically identify individual bird songs and planning to study cultural spread in bird populations to ensure that bird culture is not lost again. 7. Why did the researchers teach the birds the song? A. To save an endangered species. B. To study the birds’ brain structure. C. To develop new robotic devices. D. To preserve the birds’ cultural heritage. 8. What is a role of chingolos’ song? A. It keeps hunters away from them. B. It helps them adapt to urban growth. C. It functions as their social identity. D. It makes them remember their habitat. 9. What is the purpose of the random pauses? A. To protect the birds’ vocal tract. B. To test the birds’ reaction speed. C. To push the birds to catch the beat. D. To trick the birds into interaction. 10. What can we learn from chingolos’ learning results? A. The song has spread to other bird species. B. Their singing shows special vocal features. C. Their response to the song needs improving. D. The effectiveness depends on their population. D In recent years, there has been a significant shift towards adopting eco-friendly practices and promoting sustainable lifestyles. This global trend is fueled by various factors, ranging from heightened environmental awareness to economic advantages. A primary driver behind the rise of green living is the increasing awareness of environmental issues, particularly the urgent need to address climate change. As people become more informed about the harmful effects of carbon emissions, deforestation, and pollution, there is a collective push toward adopting practices that minimize ecological impact. Beyond environmental concerns, there are some economic motives driving the shift toward sustainability. For instance, energy-efficient technologies and practices can significantly reduce utility bills over time, making them financially advantageous for homeowners and businesses alike. Additionally, governments and organizations often offer some financial stimuli such as tax credits and subsidies (补贴) to encourage the development and adoption of renewable energy sources. For example, solar energy has emerged as a frontrunner in the renewable energy sector, attracting widespread interest from homeowners and businesses seeking clean energy solutions. Solar panels use sunlight to generate electricity, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional fossil fuels. The declining costs of solar technology, coupled with advancements in efficiency and storage capabilities, have made solar panels increasingly practical and cost-effective. Consumer attitudes and preferences are also factors driving the demand for sustainable products and services. Millennials (千禧一代) and Generation Z, in particular, prioritize environmental responsibility and prefer to support businesses that demonstrate a commitment to sustainability. This shift has urged businesses across various sectors to integrate eco-friendly practices into their operations, from sustainable sourcing to waste reduction initiatives. Moreover, the power of social influence cannot be underestimated in shaping consumer behavior towards sustainability. Social media platforms and online communities arouse awareness about environmental issues and show innovative green solutions. Individuals are increasingly motivated by peer examples, fostering a collective movement towards greener lifestyles. These living practices reflects a global commitment to sustainability. By choosing to integrate sustainable practices and technologies into everyday life, individuals and communities can contribute to lessening climate change and creating a healthier planet for future generations. 11. What is the result when the government offers financial stimuli according to the text? A. Green energy will be more accessible and affordable. B. It will bring too much financial burden to the government. C. Technology companies will make much progress in their field. D. Traditional fossil fuels will give way to renewable energy entirely. 12. What is true about the consumer behavior according to paragraphs 5 and 6? A. Older generations have a more sustainable lifestyle. B. Peers make little difference in shaping consumer behavior. C. Social influence promises to drive changes in consumer preferences. D. The eco-friendly practices of companies cause the shift of consumer behavior. 13. What is the purpose of the text? A. To initiate a process. B. To list some reasons. C. To address concerns. ` D. To analyze a dilemma. 14. What is the suitable title of the text? A. Keeping Sustainable Development: The Strategic Goals for the Globe. B. Protecting the Environment: An Everlasting Topic throughout the World. C. Promoting Ourselves: A Better and More Advanced World in Store for Us. D. Embracing Green Living: The Growing Movement towards Sustainability. E Imagining a human being without historical sense is scary. The thought of living exclusively in a present moment is scary. Scarier still is the thought of an entire generation, not to mention society, operating with a lack of a sense of history. And yet that is exactly the situation in which we find ourselves today. The people and events of history may be rooted in the past, but how we talk about those things, what we write about them, and how we teach them—in other words, how we practise history as the record of human experience—tell us a lot about who we are and what we value right now. Thinking of ourselves as a chapter in an as-yet unwritten history book, on the other hand, is likely to force deeper self-reflection: Whose stories will we stand up for? What values will we defend? What models will we offer following generations? In an era of environmental change, rising inequality and great shifts in the international political context, we need to understand how our institutions have developed. History gives us power. No other subject helps us to understand so comprehensively what it is to be human. The implications of ignorance of what have happened are incredible, but the ignorance itself isn’t entirely surprising given the lowered status of history in most schools. The discipline of history has become sidelined (边缘化). “History fights for its place in the curriculum with geography,” Dr. Bain observed, “but its attention to time, place and context is what makes it really distinct.” In other words, history doesn’t simply tell us how to be good citizens: It equips us with the knowledge we need to comprehend our world clearly, and the ability to analyze it accurately. Clearly, in an age of “fake news”, engaged citizens need to be culturally literate, critical thinkers. There is no better subject than history to develop an appreciation of context and an ability to look for evidence. We should expect a logical history curriculum for our children. If it were common to hear graduates claim that they’d never learned to add, subtract, multiply and divide, there would be a severe protest. So should there be now. 15. What is the situation the author mentioned in paragraph 1? A. The fear of the past. B. The ignorance of history. C. The exclusion of the present. D. The dissatisfaction of society. 16. What does the author mainly stress in paragraph 2? A. Consequences of overlooking history. B. Significance of mastering all subjects. C. Insights from history for today and tomorrow. D. Resolutions of the current international issues. 17. Which one of the following ideas might Dr. Bain agree with? A. Critical thinking is key to studying history well. B. Schools should enhance the status of history curriculum. C. Ignorance of history is not as terrible as expected in schools. D. Geography proves more meaningful and practical than history. 18. What does the underlined sentence “So should there be now.” mean? A. The historical sense can help us differentiate the news. B. People are dissatisfied with graduates’ ability to calculate. C. We should make history curriculum more logical and critical. D. We should pay the same attention to history as to other subjects. 第二节 (共10小题；每小题2.5分，满分25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。 (一) Confidence is infectious. Someone who speaks with total certainty is more likely to inspire than someone who is hesitant. ____19____ It found that more confident letters were associated with more successful commercial co-operations. Confidence — even overconfidence — can also lead to higher status. In a 2012 study, MBA students were asked to take an online survey. The questionnaire asked them if they knew certain names, events and works of art. ____20____ At the end of the term, classmates rated the overly confident students — those who had picked the most fictional entries — as the most influential. ____21____ One study found that overconfident bosses were more likely to buy other companies. These purchases were also more likely to fail. Another paper looked at the link between CEOs’ confidence and their earning forecasts. Researchers found that bosses with too much self-belief were slower to adjust their forecasts when they were wrong. ____22____ This leads to two broad suggestions for managers to reflect on. First, overconfident people need clear rules. A newspaper found that puffed-up bosses at high-tech firms had a better record of making breakthrough innovations if they were watched by powerful and expert boards. Second, self-doubters need encouragement to fulfil their potential. ____23____ Studies showed that when people were reminded of their own power, they performed better in interviews and presentations. Confidence can be natural. It can also be stimulated. A. They didn’t know that some of the choices were made up. B. A study analysed the language used in letters from investors. C. Simply put, overconfident bosses stayed wrong for a longer time. D. Overconfident people tend to be promoted to leadership positions. E. As much as confidence brings rewards, however, it also brings danger. F. Therefore, experts suggest creating a more relaxing work environment. G. This support can come from managers, advisors, or even from themselves. (二) At the age of 35, Professor Setiya found himself at a crossroads. He had everything he thought he wanted: a distinguished position as an MIT professor, a loving family, and financial security. ____24____ As he looked at the life he had carefully constructed, the long, predictable road ahead stretched out before him like a straight line — a never-ending series of achievements leading ultimately to retirement, decline, and death. This prospect left him feeling anxious and unfulfilled. ____25____ He stopped running, and instead immersed himself in things that have no end point or completion: aimless walks, open conversations with friends, self-knowledge for interest (not achievements), and raising his children not as a “project to produce a successful human”, but as an enjoyable process. ____26____ Setiya’s story is a vivid example of how stepping away from unending pursuits can lift one out of a low point. When you are dealing with tough times, especially at midlife and against a backdrop of world instability, there emerges a powerful opportunity for deep positive change. ____27____ It can help people during this period to live in the moment and appreciate what’s happening right now, rather than getting caught up in worries about the future or past. The journey leads to a process called individuation. ____28____ Instead, life begins adding a qualitative dimension to the quantitative one. You start to find new sources of strength and renewal in unexplored places, and your past experiences become the foundation upon which you build your next steps, allowing you to grow and rise again in the second half of life. A. He found a way out. B. He set much clearer goals. C. Trying harder only makes matters worse. D. Yet he couldn’t shake off an empty feeling. E. Achieving more no longer holds the answer. F. The combination of all that brought him relief. G. By being more present, you can feel more grounded and satisfied. 第三部分：语言运用 (共三节，满分35分) 第一节 完形填空 (共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I had mixed experiences with public speaking when I was young.

Now, after long, drawn-out weeks without their beloved football, she was eager to share her new college life and catch up on Tom’s recent news His family didn’t share his love of the beautiful game, so he seemed happy to chat with Ella He was proud of his children and grandkids, though, and lived in hope that, one day, Theo, his youngest grandson, might understand and come along. At the entrance Ella opened her backpack for a security check. Two bars of chocolate sat on top ready for their big moment when, or if, it arrived. It had become sort of a rule that the two would eat a square each after every home goal. Ella made her way to her seat, put down her backpack. and looked at the empty space beside her. Usually her old friend would be ready and waiting, holding up his ancient mechanical watch as a joke when she arrived, It wasn’t like him to be late, which made her uneasy. Just then, a-young man edged past her and sat straight down in Tom’s seat. She side-eyed him, failing to find any sign to identify him as a home supporter. And he seemed quite uninterested that their team had just scored. He even stole a quick glance at Ella as if they had known each other. Suddenly, a voice came from the ground announcer asking all supporters to stand and pay tribute (致敬) to a home supporter who had recently passed away. Ella froze in her seat — the tribute took place in the 76w minute and Tom was aged seventy-six. The club rose as one, clapping solidly for 60 seconds to show their appreciation for a long-time fellow supporter. 注意: (1)续写词数应为150左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Ella noticed tears were rolling down the young man’s cheeks. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Ella broke off a square of chocolate as usual and handed it to Theo. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高二英语 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.

Two friends joined me on a four-day wilderness getaway, and since we were all in our seventies, we decided we’d better go while we still could. Our adventure began with a scary drive up a winding mountain road. On one hike, I found myself hanging onto a wire on a bridge made of two partly rotten (腐烂的) logs, suspended high above rushing rapids. I would never have attempted it without our guide ahead, mouthing encouraging words. Fixing my eyes on her boots, I inched along the shaky logs. Somehow, I made it across, flooded with a rush of intense excitement and huge relief. Later, after spotting bear tracks, we were told to make loud noises, which soon became a game once the tension faded. Until suddenly, time stood still. We had just crossed a stream when the guide whispered, “There’s a bear.” I looked up in disbelief and saw not one, but two, about ten meters above us — the brown mother in front, her cub behind. Though scared speechless, I couldn’t help noticing how beautiful they looked in their natural setting. I wondered if it would be my last memory. As they started towards us, we recovered enough to shout and wave our hiking poles. Taken aback, they stopped, and then slowly turned away. Another fear was overcome! On our final morning, after a quiet, thoughtful walk through the forest, we were asked to bring back a “meaningful” stick, rock, and leaf to share what would “stick” with us, what “rocked,” and what we would “leaf” behind. The bond of friendship would stick with me. Women supporting one another truly rocked. And I hoped to leave some fears behind. Our guide ended by expressing her admiration, praising not only our fitness but also our positive attitude, and saying she hoped to be like us in another thirty or forty years. Those unexpected words warmed my heart and eased my fear of being “over the hill.” Being valued for what we had accomplished felt like winning an Olympic medal — even if just for participation. 4. How did the author cross the bridge? A. By taking mindful steps. B. By rushing across it bravely. C. By using her sense of direction. D. By having the guide drag her over. 5. Why did the guide ask them for a stick, rock, and leaf? A. To pick up some souvenirs. B. To reflect on the journey. C. To symbolize their teamwork. D. To check their observation skills. 6. What does the underlined phrase “over the hill” in the last paragraph mean? A. Past the peak of youth. B. To high to go down. C. Out of place in society. D. Beyond physical limits. 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. A 【解析】 【导语】文章讲述三位七十多岁的老人进行野外冒险，克服恐高、怕熊和衰老三大恐惧，最终收获友谊与自信的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中‌“Fixing my eyes on her boots, I inched along the shaky logs. (我紧盯着她的靴子，在摇晃的木头上一点一点地挪动。)”可知，作者通过小心翼翼地一步步挪动过桥。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第八段中‌“we were asked to bring back a “meaningful” stick, rock, and leaf to share what would “stick” with us, what “rocked,” and what we would “leaf” behind. (我们被要求带回一根“有意义的”棍子、一块石头和一片叶子，来分享什么会“stick(留在心中)”、什么“rocked(让我们震惊)”、以及我们会“leaf(留下)”什么。)”可知，导游让他们捡这些东西是为了让他们反思旅途中的收获与感悟。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据结合上文‌“since we were all in our seventies(我们都七十多岁了)”和划线词所在部分‌“Those unexpected words warmed my heart and eased my fear of being “over the hill.” Being valued for what we had accomplished felt like winning an Olympic medal — even if just for participation. (这些意外的话温暖了我的心，缓解了我“over the hill”的恐惧。被肯定所取得的成就感觉就像赢得了奥运奖牌——即使只是参与奖。)”可推知，作者作为七十多岁的老人，担心的是自己已过巅峰、不再年轻，而导游的赞美让她不再害怕衰老。故‌“over the hill”意为‌“过了巅峰期，不再年轻”，与A项同义。 C Researchers from the University of Buenos Aires have successfully used a robotic tutor to teach the male chingolo, a kind of small bird in South America, a song that was once part of the species’ culture but had been lost for more than half a century. Male chingolos learn their unique, two-second melody from adult males. “It is a distinctive song — like a fingerprint, but learned,” says one of the researchers. “It serves to attract females and protect territory. It is the bird’s way of saying, “This is me, and here I am.” However, urbanization and habitat loss have broken this learning chain, causing local song “dialects” to disappear. Driven by this problem, researchers took on a pioneering task: bringing back a song that had disappeared from the wild — known only from a musical record made in the 1960s — to a population of chingolos. Using physics-based modeling of the bird’s vocal tract (声道) , the team first created an accurate artificial version of the lost song. They then engineered this model into a physical device designed to broadcast the forgotten melody — a “robotic tutor.” This artificial song was introduced to the chingolos in the park during their critical learning period from October to February. The sessions took place during peak singing hours and were limited to a maximum of eight hours. There were random pauses (停顿) in between so that the birds interpreted the playback from the three devices placed in the area as a real exchange, as if these devices were responding to each other. This stimulated the birds’ vocal responses. The results were impressive. Young chingolos learned and adopted the song, though they added their own population’s “accent” to the final trill (颤音) , which showed that their singing is shaped by learned behaviors and inborn characteristics. “This is about preserving not just genetic, but cultural biodiversity,” says another researcher. The team is now developing AI systems to automatically identify individual bird songs and planning to study cultural spread in bird populations to ensure that bird culture is not lost again. 7. Why did the researchers teach the birds the song? A. To save an endangered species. B. To study the birds’ brain structure. C. To develop new robotic devices. D. To preserve the birds’ cultural heritage. 8. What is a role of chingolos’ song? A. It keeps hunters away from them. B. It helps them adapt to urban growth. C. It functions as their social identity. D. It makes them remember their habitat. 9. What is the purpose of the random pauses? A. To protect the birds’ vocal tract. B. To test the birds’ reaction speed. C. To push the birds to catch the beat. D. To trick the birds into interaction. 10. What can we learn from chingolos’ learning results? A. The song has spread to other bird species. B. Their singing shows special vocal features. C. Their response to the song needs improving. D. The effectiveness depends on their population. 【答案】7. D 8. C 9. D 10. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了布宜诺斯艾利斯大学的研究人员成功利用机器人导师，让一种南美小鸟——雄性红领带鹀重新学会了一首曾是该物种文化一部分，但已消失半个多世纪的歌曲，以及研究过程、结果和意义。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Researchers from the University of Buenos Aires have successfully used a robotic tutor to teach the male chingolo, a kind of small bird in South America, a song that was once part of the species’ culture but had been lost for more than half a century.(布宜诺斯艾利斯大学的研究人员已成功使用机器人导师，教南美一种小型鸟类 —— 雄性红领带鹀 学习一首曾属于该物种文化、但已消失半个多世纪的鸣唱)”以及最后一段“This is about preserving not just genetic, but cultural biodiversity (这不仅是为了保护遗传多样性，也是为了保护文化多样性)”可知，研究人员教鸟儿这首歌是为了保护鸟类的文化遗产。故选D项。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“It serves to attract females and protect territory. It is the bird’s way of saying, “This is me, and here I am.” (它用来吸引雌鸟和保护领地。这是鸟儿表达“这就是我，我就在这里”的方式。)”可知，红领带鹀的歌声是它们的社会身份标识。故选C项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“There were random pauses (停顿) in between so that the birds interpreted the playback from the three devices placed in the area as a real exchange, as if these devices were responding to each other. This stimulated the birds’ vocal responses. (中间有随机停顿，这样鸟儿就会把放置在该区域的三个设备播放的声音当作真实的交流，就好像这些设备在互相回应一样。这刺激了鸟类的发声反应。)”可知，随机停顿的目的是诱使鸟儿进行互动。故选D项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Young chingolos learned and adopted the song, though they added their own population’s “accent” to the final trill (颤音) , which showed that their singing is shaped by learned behaviors and inborn characteristics. (年轻的红领带鹀学习并采用了这首歌，尽管它们在最后的颤音中加入了自己种群的“口音”，这表明它们的歌声是由习得行为和先天特征共同塑造的。)”可知，从红领带鹀的学习结果中我们可以了解到它们的歌声表现出特殊的发声特征。故选B项。 D In recent years, there has been a significant shift towards adopting eco-friendly practices and promoting sustainable lifestyles. This global trend is fueled by various factors, ranging from heightened environmental awareness to economic advantages. A primary driver behind the rise of green living is the increasing awareness of environmental issues, particularly the urgent need to address climate change. As people become more informed about the harmful effects of carbon emissions, deforestation, and pollution, there is a collective push toward adopting practices that minimize ecological impact. Beyond environmental concerns, there are some economic motives driving the shift toward sustainability. For instance, energy-efficient technologies and practices can significantly reduce utility bills over time, making them financially advantageous for homeowners and businesses alike. Additionally, governments and organizations often offer some financial stimuli such as tax credits and subsidies (补贴) to encourage the development and adoption of renewable energy sources. For example, solar energy has emerged as a frontrunner in the renewable energy sector, attracting widespread interest from homeowners and businesses seeking clean energy solutions. Solar panels use sunlight to generate electricity, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional fossil fuels. The declining costs of solar technology, coupled with advancements in efficiency and storage capabilities, have made solar panels increasingly practical and cost-effective. Consumer attitudes and preferences are also factors driving the demand for sustainable products and services. Millennials (千禧一代) and Generation Z, in particular, prioritize environmental responsibility and prefer to support businesses that demonstrate a commitment to sustainability. This shift has urged businesses across various sectors to integrate eco-friendly practices into their operations, from sustainable sourcing to waste reduction initiatives. Moreover, the power of social influence cannot be underestimated in shaping consumer behavior towards sustainability. Social media platforms and online communities arouse awareness about environmental issues and show innovative green solutions. Individuals are increasingly motivated by peer examples, fostering a collective movement towards greener lifestyles. These living practices reflects a global commitment to sustainability. By choosing to integrate sustainable practices and technologies into everyday life, individuals and communities can contribute to lessening climate change and creating a healthier planet for future generations. 11. What is the result when the government offers financial stimuli according to the text? A. Green energy will be more accessible and affordable. B. It will bring too much financial burden to the government. C. Technology companies will make much progress in their field. D. Traditional fossil fuels will give way to renewable energy entirely. 12. What is true about the consumer behavior according to paragraphs 5 and 6? A. Older generations have a more sustainable lifestyle. B. Peers make little difference in shaping consumer behavior. C. Social influence promises to drive changes in consumer preferences. D. The eco-friendly practices of companies cause the shift of consumer behavior. 13. What is the purpose of the text? A. To initiate a process. B. To list some reasons. C. To address concerns. ` D. To analyze a dilemma. 14. What is the suitable title of the text? A. Keeping Sustainable Development: The Strategic Goals for the Globe. B. Protecting the Environment: An Everlasting Topic throughout the World. C. Promoting Ourselves: A Better and More Advanced World in Store for Us. D. Embracing Green Living: The Growing Movement towards Sustainability. 【答案】11. A 12. C 13. B 14.

The thought of living exclusively in a present moment is scary. Scarier still is the thought of an entire generation, not to mention society, operating with a lack of a sense of history. And yet that is exactly the situation in which we find ourselves today. The people and events of history may be rooted in the past, but how we talk about those things, what we write about them, and how we teach them—in other words, how we practise history as the record of human experience—tell us a lot about who we are and what we value right now. Thinking of ourselves as a chapter in an as-yet unwritten history book, on the other hand, is likely to force deeper self-reflection: Whose stories will we stand up for? What values will we defend? What models will we offer following generations? In an era of environmental change, rising inequality and great shifts in the international political context, we need to understand how our institutions have developed. History gives us power. No other subject helps us to understand so comprehensively what it is to be human. The implications of ignorance of what have happened are incredible, but the ignorance itself isn’t entirely surprising given the lowered status of history in most schools. The discipline of history has become sidelined (边缘化). “History fights for its place in the curriculum with geography,” Dr. Bain observed, “but its attention to time, place and context is what makes it really distinct.” In other words, history doesn’t simply tell us how to be good citizens: It equips us with the knowledge we need to comprehend our world clearly, and the ability to analyze it accurately. Clearly, in an age of “fake news”, engaged citizens need to be culturally literate, critical thinkers. There is no better subject than history to develop an appreciation of context and an ability to look for evidence. We should expect a logical history curriculum for our children. If it were common to hear graduates claim that they’d never learned to add, subtract, multiply and divide, there would be a severe protest. So should there be now. 15. What is the situation the author mentioned in paragraph 1? A. The fear of the past. B. The ignorance of history. C. The exclusion of the present. D. The dissatisfaction of society. 16. What does the author mainly stress in paragraph 2? A. Consequences of overlooking history. B. Significance of mastering all subjects. C. Insights from history for today and tomorrow. D. Resolutions of the current international issues. 17. Which one of the following ideas might Dr. Bain agree with? A. Critical thinking is key to studying history well. B. Schools should enhance the status of history curriculum. C. Ignorance of history is not as terrible as expected in schools. D. Geography proves more meaningful and practical than history. 18. What does the underlined sentence “So should there be now.” mean? A. The historical sense can help us differentiate the news. B. People are dissatisfied with graduates’ ability to calculate. C. We should make history curriculum more logical and critical. D. We should pay the same attention to history as to other subjects. 【答案】15. B 16. C 17. B 18. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。讨论了在现代社会发展中，培养历史感的重要性，以及历史教育的重要意义。文章呼吁将历史教育纳入更加合理的课程体系中，历史感的建立有助于培养学生的批判性思维以及理解世界的能力。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Imagining a human being without historical sense is scary. The thought of living exclusively in a present moment is scary. Scarier still is the thought of an entire generation, not to mention society, operating with a lack of a sense of history. (想象一个没有历史感的人是可怕的。只活在当下的想法是可怕的。更可怕的是，整整一代人，更不用说整个社会，在缺乏历史感的情况下运作。)”可知，作者在第一段提到了人们对历史的无知。故选B。 【16题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“The people and events of history may be rooted in the past, but how we talk about those things, what we write about them, and how we teach them—in other words, how we practise history as the record of human experience—tell us a lot about who we are and what we value right now. Thinking of ourselves as a chapter in an as-yet unwritten history book, on the other hand, is likely to force deeper self-reflection (历史上的人物和事件可能植根于过去，但我们如何谈论这些事情，我们如何写它们，以及我们如何教授它们——换句话说，我们如何将历史作为人类经历的记录来实践——告诉我们很多关于我们是谁以及我们现在看重什么。另一方面，把自己想象成一本尚未书写的历史书中的一个章节，可能会迫使我们进行更深层次的自我反思)”以及“In an era of environmental change, rising inequality and great shifts in the international political context, we need to understand how our institutions have developed. History gives us power. No other subject helps us to understand so comprehensively what it is to be human. (在一个环境变化、不平等加剧、国际政治环境发生巨大变化的时代，我们需要了解我们的制度是如何发展起来的。历史赋予我们力量。没有其他学科能如此全面地帮助我们理解什么是人类。)”可知，作者在第二段主要强调了历史对今天和明天的洞见。故选C。 【17题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“The discipline of history has become sidelined (边缘化). “History fights for its place in the curriculum with geography,” Dr. Bain observed, “but its attention to time, place and context is what makes it really distinct.” In other words, history doesn’t simply tell us how to be good citizens: It equips us with the knowledge we need to comprehend our world clearly, and the ability to analyze it accurately.(历史学科已经靠边站了。“历史与地理在课程中争夺自己的位置，”贝恩博士说，“但它对时间、地点和背景的关注使它真正与众不同。”换句话说，历史不仅仅告诉我们如何成为好公民：它还让我们具备了清晰理解世界所需的知识，以及准确分析世界的能力)”可知，历史是如此的重要，学校应该提高历史课程的地位。故选B。 【18题详解】 词义猜测题。根据文章最后一段“There is no better subject than history to develop an appreciation of context and an ability to look for evidence. We should expect a logical history curriculum for our children. If it were common to hear graduates claim that they’d never learned to add, subtract, multiply and divide, there would be a severe protest. (没有比历史更适合培养对背景的鉴赏能力和寻找证据的能力了。我们应该为我们的孩子准备一个合乎逻辑的历史课程。如果经常听到毕业生声称他们从未学过加减乘除，那一定会引起强烈的抗议)”可知，没有比历史更适合培养对背景的鉴赏能力和寻找证据的能力了，我们应该重视历史学科，应该和数学等其它学科一样对待。划线处和D项：We should pay the same attention to history as to other subjects.(我们对待历史应该像对待其他学科一样重视)合乎题意。故选D。 第二节 (共10小题；每小题2.5分，满分25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。 (一) Confidence is infectious. Someone who speaks with total certainty is more likely to inspire than someone who is hesitant. ____19____ It found that more confident letters were associated with more successful commercial co-operations. Confidence — even overconfidence — can also lead to higher status. In a 2012 study, MBA students were asked to take an online survey. The questionnaire asked them if they knew certain names, events and works of art. ____20____ At the end of the term, classmates rated the overly confident students — those who had picked the most fictional entries — as the most influential. ____21____ One study found that overconfident bosses were more likely to buy other companies. These purchases were also more likely to fail. Another paper looked at the link between CEOs’ confidence and their earning forecasts. Researchers found that bosses with too much self-belief were slower to adjust their forecasts when they were wrong. ____22____ This leads to two broad suggestions for managers to reflect on. First, overconfident people need clear rules. A newspaper found that puffed-up bosses at high-tech firms had a better record of making breakthrough innovations if they were watched by powerful and expert boards. Second, self-doubters need encouragement to fulfil their potential. ____23____ Studies showed that when people were reminded of their own power, they performed better in interviews and presentations. Confidence can be natural. It can also be stimulated. A. They didn’t know that some of the choices were made up. B. A study analysed the language used in letters from investors. C. Simply put, overconfident bosses stayed wrong for a longer time. D. Overconfident people tend to be promoted to leadership positions. E. As much as confidence brings rewards, however, it also brings danger. F. Therefore, experts suggest creating a more relaxing work environment. G. This support can come from managers, advisors, or even from themselves. 【答案】19. B 20. A 21. E 22. C 23. G 【解析】 【导语】文章主要探讨了自信的感染力与优势，同时指出过度自信带来的决策风险，并就管理者如何对待过度自信者和自我怀疑者提出了建议。 【19题详解】 空前“Confidence is infectious. Someone who speaks with total certainty is more likely to inspire than someone who is hesitant. (自信是能够感染他人的特质。一个完全自信的人比一个犹豫不决的人更能激发他人。)”说自信具有感染力，肯定确信的人比犹豫的人更能鼓舞他人。空后出现“It found that more confident letters were associated with more successful commercial co-operations. (该研究发现，更自信的信件往往能促成更成功的商业合作。)”，其中It found表明前文应提到某项研究，且研究内容涉及letters。选项B“A study analysed the language used in letters from investors. (一项研究分析了投资者信件中使用的语言。)”恰好引入一项分析投资者信件语言的研究，与后文more confident letters完美衔接。 【20题详解】 空前“In a 2012 study, MBA students were asked to take an online survey. The questionnaire asked them if they knew certain names, events and works of art. (在 2012 年的一项研究中，商学院的学生们被要求完成一项在线调查。问卷询问他们是否知晓某些名字、事件和艺术作品。)”描述2012年研究中的问卷让MBA学生识别一些名字、事件和艺术品。空后“At the end of the term, classmates rated the overly confident students — those who had picked the most fictional entries — as the most influential. (学期结束时，同学们认为那些过于自信的学生——那些选出最多虚构条目的人——是最有影响力的。)”说学期末同学们将那些选了最多虚构条目的人评为最有影响力。由此可推，学生答题时并不知道部分选项是虚构的，选项A“They didn’t know that some of the choices were made up. (他们不知道其中的一些选择是虚构的。)”中的They指代前文的MBA学生，made up与后文fictional entries呼应，逻辑通顺。 【21题详解】 前两段讲自信（甚至过度自信）带来的积极影响，如更高地位。本段开头空白后“One study found that overconfident bosses were more likely to buy other companies. These purchases were also more likely to fail. (一项研究发现，过度自信的老板更有可能收购其他公司。这些收购也更有可能失败。)”说研究发现过度自信的老板更可能收购其他公司，但这些收购更易失败。此处语义发生转折，从讲好处转向讲风险。选项E“As much as confidence brings rewards, however, it also brings danger. (然而，尽管自信会带来回报，但它也带来危险。)”中的however体现转折，brings danger引出后文过度自信的负面后果，承上启下功能明确。 【22题详解】 空前“Researchers found that bosses with too much self-belief were slower to adjust their forecasts when they were wrong. (研究人员发现，过于自信的老板在预测出现错误时调整预测的速度更慢。)”说研究人员发现过度自信的CEO在预测出错时调整预测更慢。空白处位于段末，需对该研究发现进行总结或评述。选项“Simply put, overconfident bosses stayed wrong for a longer time. (简单来说，过度自信的老板会在错误上停留更长时间。)”C用Simply put引出对前文内容的通俗概括，stayed wrong for a longer time正是slower to adjust their forecasts when they were wrong的同义转述。 【23题详解】 空前“Second, self-doubters need encouragement to fulfil their potential. (其次，自我怀疑者需要鼓励来充分发挥他们的潜力。)”给出第二条建议：自我怀疑者需要鼓励以发挥潜能。空后“Studies showed that when people were reminded of their own power, they performed better in interviews and presentations. Confidence can be natural. It can also be stimulated. (有研究表明，当人们被提醒自己的力量时，他们在面试和演示中的表现会更好。自信可以是自然而然的。它也可以被激发。)”举例说当人们被提醒自身力量时，在面试和演讲中表现更好。可见空白处需衔接“鼓励”的来源或方式。选项G“This support can come from managers, advisors, or even from themselves.

He had everything he thought he wanted: a distinguished position as an MIT professor, a loving family, and financial security. ____24____ As he looked at the life he had carefully constructed, the long, predictable road ahead stretched out before him like a straight line — a never-ending series of achievements leading ultimately to retirement, decline, and death. This prospect left him feeling anxious and unfulfilled. ____25____ He stopped running, and instead immersed himself in things that have no end point or completion: aimless walks, open conversations with friends, self-knowledge for interest (not achievements), and raising his children not as a “project to produce a successful human”, but as an enjoyable process. ____26____ Setiya’s story is a vivid example of how stepping away from unending pursuits can lift one out of a low point. When you are dealing with tough times, especially at midlife and against a backdrop of world instability, there emerges a powerful opportunity for deep positive change. ____27____ It can help people during this period to live in the moment and appreciate what’s happening right now, rather than getting caught up in worries about the future or past. The journey leads to a process called individuation. ____28____ Instead, life begins adding a qualitative dimension to the quantitative one. You start to find new sources of strength and renewal in unexplored places, and your past experiences become the foundation upon which you build your next steps, allowing you to grow and rise again in the second half of life. A. He found a way out. B. He set much clearer goals. C. Trying harder only makes matters worse. D. Yet he couldn’t shake off an empty feeling. E. Achieving more no longer holds the answer. F. The combination of all that brought him relief. G. By being more present, you can feel more grounded and satisfied. 【答案】24. D 25. A 26. F 27. G 28. E 【解析】 【导语】这篇文章主要讲述了麻省理工学院教授塞蒂亚虽拥有理想生活却深感空虚，他通过享受无终点的过程走出低谷，揭示人生应从追求成就转向追求质量的真谛。 【24题详解】 前文“He had everything he thought he wanted: a distinguished position as an MIT professor, a loving family, and financial security. (他拥有了自己认为想要的一切：在麻省理工学院担任教授的显赫职位、一个温馨的家庭以及经济上的保障。)”列举了塞蒂亚教授拥有的一切（名校职位、美满家庭、经济保障），后文“This prospect left him feeling anxious and unfulfilled. (这种前景让他感到焦虑和未得到满足。)”却描述他“感到焦虑和不满足”。D选项“Yet he couldn’t shake off an empty feeling. (但那种空虚感仍挥之不去。)”中的Yet形成强烈转折，精准衔接“物质成功”与“精神空虚”的矛盾，自然引出下文他对人生前景的迷茫。 【25题详解】 第一段结尾是“As he looked at the life he had carefully constructed, the long, predictable road ahead stretched out before him like a straight line — a never-ending series of achievements leading ultimately to retirement, decline, and death. (当他审视自己精心构建的生活时，那条漫长而规律的未来之路在他面前像一条直线般延伸着——一条永无止境的成就之路，最终通向退休、衰退和死亡。)”塞蒂亚陷入人生低谷，第二段开头“He stopped running, and instead immersed himself in things that have no end point or completion 于是他停止了奔波，转而投身于那些没有终点、没有完成之日的事情中。)”则描述他开始改变生活方式，停止追逐无尽的成就。A选项“He found a way out. (他找到了出路。)”作为过渡句，清晰地表明他从困境中找到了突破口，完美承接上文的“问题”与下文的“解决方案”。 【26题详解】 前文“aimless walks, open conversations with friends, self-knowledge for interest (not achievements), and raising his children not as a “project to produce a successful human”, but as an enjoyable process. (漫无目的地散步、与朋友的坦诚交流、为了兴趣而非成就而自我认知，以及以一种享受的过程而非“培养出一个成功的人才”的方式来养育孩子。)”详细列举了 塞蒂亚采取的一系列新的生活方式（漫无目的散步、开放式交谈、享受育儿过程等）。F选项“The combination of all that brought him relief. (所有这些因素的结合让他感到轻松。)”中的all that精准指代前文的所有行为，总结了这些改变给他带来的积极结果，收束本段内容。 【27题详解】 前文“When you are dealing with tough times, especially at midlife and against a backdrop of world instability, there emerges a powerful opportunity for deep positive change. (你面临艰难时期，尤其是在中年时期，且处于世界不稳定的大背景下时，就会出现一个强大的机会来实现深刻的积极转变。)”指出人生低谷期是深度改变的契机，后文“It can help people during this period to live in the moment and appreciate what’s happening right now, rather than getting caught up in worries about the future or past. (它能帮助人们在这一时期专注于当下，欣赏眼前正在发生的事情，而不是陷入对未来或过去的担忧之中。)”进一步解释这种改变的核心是“活在当下”。G选项“By being more present, you can feel more grounded and satisfied. (通过更加专注于当下，你就能感觉更加踏实和满足。)”中的being more present与后文的live in the moment形成同义呼应，阐明了活在当下带来的具体益处，逻辑连贯。 【28题详解】 前文“The journey leads to a process called individuation. (这段旅程会带来一个被称为“个体化”的过程。)”提到“个体化”过程，后文用Instead转折，指出生活开始从“追求数量”转向“追求质量”。E选项“Achieving more no longer holds the answer. (得到更多成就已不再能解决问题。)”直接否定了“不断追求成就”的传统人生模式，与后文的Instead形成完美的反义并列，准确概括了个体化过程的核心转变。 第三部分：语言运用 (共三节，满分35分) 第一节 完形填空 (共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I had mixed experiences with public speaking when I was young.

Now, after long, drawn-out weeks without their beloved football, she was eager to share her new college life and catch up on Tom’s recent news His family didn’t share his love of the beautiful game, so he seemed happy to chat with Ella He was proud of his children and grandkids, though, and lived in hope that, one day, Theo, his youngest grandson, might understand and come along. At the entrance Ella opened her backpack for a security check. Two bars of chocolate sat on top ready for their big moment when, or if, it arrived. It had become sort of a rule that the two would eat a square each after every home goal. Ella made her way to her seat, put down her backpack. and looked at the empty space beside her. Usually her old friend would be ready and waiting, holding up his ancient mechanical watch as a joke when she arrived, It wasn’t like him to be late, which made her uneasy. Just then, a-young man edged past her and sat straight down in Tom’s seat. She side-eyed him, failing to find any sign to identify him as a home supporter. And he seemed quite uninterested that their team had just scored. He even stole a quick glance at Ella as if they had known each other. Suddenly, a voice came from the ground announcer asking all supporters to stand and pay tribute (致敬) to a home supporter who had recently passed away. Ella froze in her seat — the tribute took place in the 76w minute and Tom was aged seventy-six. The club rose as one, clapping solidly for 60 seconds to show their appreciation for a long-time fellow supporter. 注意: (1)续写词数应为150左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Ella noticed tears were rolling down the young man’s cheeks. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Ella broke off a square of chocolate as usual and handed it to Theo. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 Ella noticed tears were rolling down the young man’s cheeks.

He reminded me that I must be here today, or he would fail a trusted friend.” Memories of Tom’s ancient mechanical watch and their casual chats flashed back until cheers for a home goal interrupted Ella’s mind. Ella broke off a square of chocolate as usual and handed it to Theo. “For that home goal.” Ella smiled with her teary eyes, “It’s what we have been doing for those years.” They both took a bite, the sweet chocolate melting in their mouths.
