B “Keep your eyes on the road ahead,” my driving instructor said. “You go in the direction you look.”I remembered the remark several years later, when my mom and I reached a crossroads in our writing careers. We’d been writing separately, not making much progress toward our goal of getting published. One day, Mom suggested we write a romance novel together. She thought it would be fun and less tiring if we took turns, since there’d always be something to build from. The idea was appealing and we decided to give it a try. Working together made the process much easier and a lot more fun. We both looked forward to getting to the computer to see what twists(转折)and turns had taken place while we were gone. We both also wanted to make sure the work we left during our respective time was as interesting as we could make it. We finished the first book and began sending it to publishers. Though we got some good comments, rejections piled up(堆积)：Where’s the romance? Sorry, not for us. From experience, we knew the best way to keep from brooding over disappointment: Start a second book. Once finished, we bravely sent off our second effort—and did no better. Then the third…After yet another rejection, Mom grew disheartened, wondering if we should give up. Suddenly my driving instructor’s words came back to me. I said, “Maybe we ought to look where we’re going.” I continued, “It’s like driving. We’ve taken our eyes off the reason we started writing together. We want to be published, sure, but the main reason was to have fun doing what we both enjoy.” “You’re right.” Mom let out a long breath. “I haven’t been having fun for quite a while. Maybe we should write something we truly love. You know, we only started writing romances because they’re popular. There’s no real heart in our stories. ” The SkyHorse, our young adult novel, was published last year. 51. How did the author feel about writing with her mother? A. Wonderful. B. Nervous. C. Amused. D. Embarrassed. 52. What does the underlined part “brooding over” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Preparing fully for. B. Learning quickly from. C. Worrying deeply about. D. Complaining openly about. 53. What role did the driving instructor’s words play in the author and her mother’s writing career? A. They gave them inspiration of their next book. B. They stopped them from writing a book together. C. They reminded them of their original intention of writing. D. They encouraged them not to give up writing despite criticism. 54. What led to the author and her mother successfully publishing The SkyHorse? A. Writing for young adults. B. Choosing a popular theme. C. Improving their editing process. D. Focusing on their genuine interests. 55. What can be the best title for the text? A. A journey to romance B. Benefits of potential cowriting C. Going where you look D. Spreading joy through writing C In today’s fast-paced society, ‘Urgency Culture’ is on the rise. This culture is characterized by an addiction to immediate responses, the praise of multitasking and the expectation of constant availability. Among the impacts of urgency culture are increased anxiety and stress. Research on mental health has established that there is more professional and personal burnout happening than ever before. In addition, the rise of urgency culture takes away our ability to do meaningful work as we continue to value quantity over quality. As a project manager, I had to learn the art of slowing down and stepping away from urgency culture. It’s taken me over a decade to let go of a long list of things, including the false belief of being needed by people who are constantly on the end of a phone ringing me. My phone is now on silent. Those who do need to get in touch, message me. I check my messages when I am in between work tasks, and respond when I can, not when others believe that they need me to. I’ve also gotten much better at laying down boundaries. One boundary is saying ‘No’ to things that will cost me labour with no returns, whether this is physical, emotional, monetary or other. The best part about it is that you notice how many friends, workmates or even close relationships disappear when you stop saying yes to everything. It’s to ugh to realise that they preferred you without boundaries, agreeing to their every request, at the cost of your own emotional well-being. But in the long run, you clear the path for better relationships with people who respect and value you more. Now I can manage my life better. The key thing is to acknowledge what you want and if it’s more balance and well-being, walk on a road that will get you there. 56. Which of the following belongs to urgency culture? A. Giving urgent tasks high priority. B. Expectıng others to stay reachable. C. Valuing work quality over quantity. D. Agreeing to others’ requests readily. 57. What does paragraph2 mainly tell us about urgency culture? A. Its harmful effects. B. Its main characteristics. C. Its popularity. D. Its definition. 58. Why does the author put his phone on silent? A. To escape frequent social activities. B. To overcome his addiction to the phone. C. To avoid interruption from the project manager. D. To break his habit of making immediate responses. 59. What is the author’s view on setting boundaries? A. It leads to emotional distance. B. It prevents professional growth. C. It improves personal independence. D. It strengthens meaningful relationships. 60. What’s the author’s purpose in writing this text? A. To warn people of the negative effects of urgency culture. B. To call for people to stop saying yes to everyone. C. To introduce the concept of urgency culture. D. To share his own experience of stepping away from urgency culture. 五、阅读表达：（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，按照要求完成阅读任务。 I’m lucky enough to have come from a family of mountaineers, so I have been climbing for as long as I can remember. But it’s particularly thanks to my father that I started tackling serious peaks at such a young age. When I was twelve years old, we travelled together to Alaska to climb Mount Denali, which is the highest peak in North America. The following year, I joined a youth expedition (探险) to Africa to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. After this, I went on to climb tough peaks in Australia, Argentina and Russia, each time with a different team. Most times the difficulty was in finding sponsors willing to help fund my trip. In December of the year I turned 19, I headed out to Mount Vinson in the Antarctic. This turned out to be the most challenging expedition I had done so far. First there was the long, demanding journey down to the ‘frozen continent’. We took a flight to southern Chile and then caught a cargo plane (货机) on to the Antarctic, with no heating, real seats or windows. Then during the actual climb my hands froze and I was in a lot of pain. Still, this experience was like a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. The colors of the ice, air and sky there were so pure without the pollution we have got so used to everywhere else. By this time, I had gained a lot of experience and felt I was ready for ‘the big one’, Mount Qomolangma. It stands at 8,848.86 meters high and is not only the highest mountain on Earth but possibly the most unforgiving, too. Since returning from Qomolangma I’ve been giving a series of talks and presentations on my expeditions. I hope more than anything that they will inspire other young people to follow their dreams. I had taken 68 flights along my journey to reach the seven summits (顶峰). But I never doubted what I was doing. I truly believed that one day I was going to stand on the top of the world! 61. When did the author climb Mount Denali with her father?(no more than 5 words) ________________________________________________________________________________ 62. What does the underlined part in paragraph 3 mean?(no more than 8 words) ________________________________________________________________________________ 63. Why did the author find Mount Vinson challenging?(no more than 15 words) ________________________________________________________________________________ 64. What was the author’s motivation for giving talks and presentations?(no more than 12 words) ________________________________________________________________________________ 65.

I can’t agree more C. I’ve been there before D. You bet 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我生活中的一切都支离破碎了。我的生活真是一团糟！——我也曾经历过。我懂你的感受。 A. By all means当然可以；B. I can’t agree more我完全同意；C. I’ve been there before我也曾经历过；D.

A. went through B. took up C. freed from D. put into 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：坎宁安之所以出色，是因为他热爱摄影，以及他投入到工作当中的无数个小时的纯粹努力。A. went through经历；B. took up开始从事、占据；C. freed from使摆脱；D. put into投入。根据句中“hours and hours of sheer hard work”可知，这些时间和辛劳都是倾注到工作里的。 3. Although he was a world-famous fashion photographer, he adopted an uncomplicated ________ to life. A. commitment B. approach C. capacity D. access 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：尽管他是举世闻名的时尚摄影师，却秉持简单质朴的生活态度。A. commitment投入，承诺；B. approach方式，态度；C. capacity能力；D. access通道，使用权。根据句中修饰词uncomplicated以及搭配to life，此处表达对待生活的方法，因此，此处使用名词approach，approach to sth意为“对待某事的方法/态度”。 4. It is important ________ immediate medical treatment for any serious disease. A. obtain B. to obtain C. obtaining D. obtained 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：对于任何严重的疾病，获得及时的医疗救治是很重要的。本句使用了固定句型“It is + adj. + to do sth.”，意为“做某事是……的”。其中it作形式主语，真正的主语是后面的动词不定式。因此空格处应填入动词不定式to obtain。 5. You can`t imagine the trouble I had _________ your home in the snowstorm. A. find B. to find C. found D. finding 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】考查动名词。句意：你无法想象我在暴风雪中找到你的家有多难。have trouble doing sth.是固定短语，意为“做某事有困难”，因此空格处用动名词作宾语，故选D。 6. It was the first time in my life that I ______ the wonderful scene. A. saw B. had seen C. have seen D. see 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查固定句型。句意：这是我有生以来，第一次看到这么美丽的景色。This / That/ It is/ was＋the＋序数词＋名词＋从句(从句中的时态要用完成时态；如前为is，则用现在完成时，如为was则用过去完成时)，故选B。 7. The famous musician, as well as his students, ______ to perform at the opening ceremony of the Flower Expo last year. A. were invited B. was invited C. have been invited D. has been invited 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查动词时态和语态。句意：去年，不但他的学生,连那位著名的音乐家也应邀在花卉博览会的开幕式上表演。分析句子可知，as well as连接的并列名词作句子的主语时，谓语动词要和as well as前面的主语在人称和单复数上保持一致，因此invite要和The famous musician在人称和单复数上保持一致，The famous musician是单数形式。再根据句中的last year可知，时态为一般过去时，结合句意不但他的学生,连那位著名的音乐家是被邀请去表演的，所以invite应用一般过去时的被动态结构且用单数形式。故选B项。 8. After several months, Ryan had raised the $2,000, ________ a well was built near the primary school in Uganda. A. when B. with that C. with which D. how 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：几个月后，瑞恩筹集了2000美元，用这笔钱在乌干达的一所小学附近建了一口井。空处引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词the 2,000，结合句意，此处表示“用这笔钱”应用介词with，所以此处使用“with which”引导定语从句。 9. The United Nations Children’s Fund was founded to provide food and health care to children in countries ________ in the World War II. A. were damaged B. damaging C. to damage D. damaged 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：联合国儿童基金会的成立是为了向在二战中受损的国家的儿童提供食品和医疗保健。此处在句中作定语，修饰countries，countries与damage之间为被动关系，故应用过去分词damaged作后置定语。 10. Since nobody gave Riddle any help, he ________ have done the research on his own. A. can B. need C. must D. should 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查情态动词+have done。句意：由于没有人给里德尔任何帮助，他一定是自己完成了这项研究。A. can能够；B. need需要；C. must必须，一定；D. should应该。由“Since nobody gave Riddle any help”和“have done the research on his own”可知，此处指一定是他自己完成了研究，表示对过去肯定推测，所以应用must have done形式。故选C项。 11. The flash of lightning ________ across the dark sky is a frightening but extraordinary sight. A. shoot B. shot C. shooting D. to shoot 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：划过黑暗天空的闪电是一道令人害怕却又非凡的景象。句子的主语是“The flash of lightning”，谓语动词是“is”，空格处应填入非谓语动词作后置定语修饰主语，动词shoot与被修饰名词lightning之间是逻辑上的主动关系，故应用现在分词形式shooting。 12. Each of the biologists who ________ conducting research in these mountains ________ a different species to study. A. is; has B. are; have C. is; have D. are; has 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：在这些山里进行研究的每一位生物学家都有一个不同的物种要研究。第一空，who引导定语从句，修饰先行词the biologists，先行词为复数，故定语从句的be动词应用复数形式are；第二空，主句的主语是“Each of the biologists”，中心词是Each，当each作主语时，谓语动词应用单数形式，故应用has。 13. The chief aim of these community activities ________ to raise public awareness about recycling. A. is B. are C. have been D. were 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：这些社区活动的主要目的是提高公众对回收利用的意识。本句的主语是“The chief aim of these community activities”，其中心词为单数名词“aim”，后面的“of these community activities”是介词短语作后置定语修饰主语中心词；根据主谓一致原则，谓语动词的单复数应与主语中心词保持一致，因此谓语动词需要使用单数形式，四个选项中，只有is是单数形式。 14. ________ enough money from his part-time job, Tom decided to donate a part of it to an animal shelter.

We’d been writing separately, not making much progress toward our goal of getting published. One day, Mom suggested we write a romance novel together. She thought it would be fun and less tiring if we took turns, since there’d always be something to build from. The idea was appealing and we decided to give it a try. Working together made the process much easier and a lot more fun. We both looked forward to getting to the computer to see what twists(转折)and turns had taken place while we were gone. We both also wanted to make sure the work we left during our respective time was as interesting as we could make it. We finished the first book and began sending it to publishers. Though we got some good comments, rejections piled up(堆积)：Where’s the romance? Sorry, not for us. From experience, we knew the best way to keep from brooding over disappointment: Start a second book. Once finished, we bravely sent off our second effort—and did no better. Then the third…After yet another rejection, Mom grew disheartened, wondering if we should give up. Suddenly my driving instructor’s words came back to me. I said, “Maybe we ought to look where we’re going.” I continued, “It’s like driving. We’ve taken our eyes off the reason we started writing together. We want to be published, sure, but the main reason was to have fun doing what we both enjoy.” “You’re right.” Mom let out a long breath. “I haven’t been having fun for quite a while. Maybe we should write something we truly love. You know, we only started writing romances because they’re popular. There’s no real heart in our stories. ” The SkyHorse, our young adult novel, was published last year. 51. How did the author feel about writing with her mother? A. Wonderful. B. Nervous. C. Amused. D. Embarrassed. 52. What does the underlined part “brooding over” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Preparing fully for. B. Learning quickly from. C. Worrying deeply about. D. Complaining openly about. 53. What role did the driving instructor’s words play in the author and her mother’s writing career? A. They gave them inspiration of their next book. B. They stopped them from writing a book together. C. They reminded them of their original intention of writing. D. They encouraged them not to give up writing despite criticism. 54. What led to the author and her mother successfully publishing The SkyHorse? A. Writing for young adults. B. Choosing a popular theme. C. Improving their editing process. D. Focusing on their genuine interests. 55. What can be the best title for the text? A. A journey to romance B. Benefits of potential cowriting C. Going where you look D. Spreading joy through writing 【答案】51. A 52. C 53. C 54. D 55. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者和母亲在写作生涯中遇到的困境以及他们如何通过合作和调整方向来克服这些困难，最终成功出版小说的经历，传达了坚持初心、享受过程的重要性。 【51题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Working together made the process much easier and a lot more fun. We both looked forward to getting to the computer to see what twists(转折)and turns had taken place while we were gone.(合作让写作过程轻松了许多，也有趣得多。我们都盼着坐到电脑前，看看自己不在时故事发生了什么曲折变化。)”可知，作者认为与母亲合作写作的过程轻松且有趣，并期待继续创作。故选A。 【52题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线单词所在语境“From experience, we knew the best way to keep from brooding over disappointment: Start a second book.(根据经验，我们知道避免因失望而……的最好办法是：开始写下一本书。)”可推测，面对拒绝时人们容易陷入过度担忧或沮丧。因此，“brooding over”意为“沉思、担忧”。选项C“Worrying deeply about(深深担忧)”与此相符。故选C。 【53题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Suddenly my driving instructor’s words came back to me. I said, “Maybe we ought to look where we’re going.” I continued, “It’s like driving. We’ve taken our eyes off the reason we started writing together. We want to be published, sure, but the main reason was to have fun doing what we both enjoy.”(突然，教练的话在我耳边响起。我说：“也许我们该看看自己要驶向哪里。”我接着说：“这就像开车。我们忘了一起写作的初衷。我们当然想出版，但主要原因是想在共同热爱的事情中找到乐趣。”)”可知，驾驶教练的话让作者和母亲意识到她们偏离了写作的初衷——享受共同创作的乐趣，而非单纯追求出版。这一反思促使她们调整方向，最终写出真正热爱的作品。故选C。 【54题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第五段““You’re right.” Mom let out a long breath. “I haven’t been having fun for quite a while. Maybe we should write something we truly love. You know, we only started writing romances because they’re popular. There’s no real heart in our stories. ”(“你说得对。”妈妈长舒一口气，“我已经很久没感受到乐趣了。也许我们该写真正热爱的东西。你知道吗，我们当初写爱情小说只是因为它们流行，但我们的故事里没有真正的灵魂。”)”以及最后一段“The SkyHorse, our young adult novel, was published last year.(去年，我们的青少年小说《天马》出版了。)”可知，她们成功的关键在于放弃迎合流行的爱情小说题材，转而创作真正热爱的内容。故选D。 【55题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知，全文以驾驶教练的话“你看向哪里，就会驶向哪里”为核心隐喻，讲述作者和母亲在写作中因偏离初衷而受挫，最终通过回望初心（聚焦热爱）获得成功的故事。选项C“Going where you look(看向哪里，驶向哪里)”直接引用教练的话，呼应全文“目标与方向”的主题，隐喻坚持初衷的重要性，最贴切。故选C。 C In today’s fast-paced society, ‘Urgency Culture’ is on the rise. This culture is characterized by an addiction to immediate responses, the praise of multitasking and the expectation of constant availability. Among the impacts of urgency culture are increased anxiety and stress. Research on mental health has established that there is more professional and personal burnout happening than ever before. In addition, the rise of urgency culture takes away our ability to do meaningful work as we continue to value quantity over quality. As a project manager, I had to learn the art of slowing down and stepping away from urgency culture. It’s taken me over a decade to let go of a long list of things, including the false belief of being needed by people who are constantly on the end of a phone ringing me. My phone is now on silent. Those who do need to get in touch, message me. I check my messages when I am in between work tasks, and respond when I can, not when others believe that they need me to. I’ve also gotten much better at laying down boundaries. One boundary is saying ‘No’ to things that will cost me labour with no returns, whether this is physical, emotional, monetary or other. The best part about it is that you notice how many friends, workmates or even close relationships disappear when you stop saying yes to everything. It’s to ugh to realise that they preferred you without boundaries, agreeing to their every request, at the cost of your own emotional well-being. But in the long run, you clear the path for better relationships with people who respect and value you more. Now I can manage my life better. The key thing is to acknowledge what you want and if it’s more balance and well-being, walk on a road that will get you there. 56. Which of the following belongs to urgency culture? A. Giving urgent tasks high priority. B. Expectıng others to stay reachable. C. Valuing work quality over quantity. D. Agreeing to others’ requests readily. 57. What does paragraph2 mainly tell us about urgency culture? A. Its harmful effects. B. Its main characteristics. C. Its popularity. D. Its definition. 58. Why does the author put his phone on silent? A. To escape frequent social activities. B. To overcome his addiction to the phone. C. To avoid interruption from the project manager. D. To break his habit of making immediate responses. 59. What is the author’s view on setting boundaries? A. It leads to emotional distance. B. It prevents professional growth. C. It improves personal independence. D. It strengthens meaningful relationships. 60. What’s the author’s purpose in writing this text? A. To warn people of the negative effects of urgency culture. B. To call for people to stop saying yes to everyone. C. To introduce the concept of urgency culture. D. To share his own experience of stepping away from urgency culture. 【答案】56. B 57. A 58. D 59. D 60. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了“Urgency Culture”的兴起及其带来的影响，如增加的焦虑和压力、对有质量工作的忽视等。作者通过个人经历，分享了如何摆脱紧迫感文化，学会放慢脚步、设定界限，并更好地管理自己的生活。 【56题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“In today’s fast-paced society, ‘Urgency Culture’ is on the rise. This culture is characterized by an addiction to immediate responses, the praise of multitasking and the expectation of constant availability.(在当今快节奏的社会中，“Urgency Culture”正在兴起。这种文化的特点是对即时回应的沉迷、对多任务处理的推崇，以及对全天候待命的期待。)”可知，Urgency Culture的特征包括对即时回应的沉迷、对多任务处理的推崇，以及对全天候待命的期待。选项B“Expectıng others to stay reachable.(期待他人保持可联系状态)”与Urgency Culture的特征相符。故选B。 【57题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“Among the impacts of urgency culture are increased anxiety and stress. Research on mental health has established that there is more professional and personal burnout happening than ever before. In addition, the rise of urgency culture takes away our ability to do meaningful work as we continue to value quantity over quality.( Urgency Culture带来的影响包括焦虑和压力的增加。心理健康研究表明，职业和个人倦怠比以往任何时候都更普遍。此外，紧急文化的兴起剥夺了我们从事有意义工作的能力，因为我们继续重视数量而非质量。)”可知，该段主要列举Urgency Culture带来的负面影响，如焦虑、倦怠、忽视工作质量等。故选A。 【58题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“As a project manager, I had to learn the art of slowing down and stepping away from urgency culture. It’s taken me over a decade to let go of a long list of things, including the false belief of being needed by people who are constantly on the end of a phone ringing me. My phone is now on silent. Those who do need to get in touch, message me. I check my messages when I am in between work tasks, and respond when I can, not when others believe that they need me to.(作为一名项目经理，我不得不学习放慢脚步、远离urgency culture的艺术。我花了十多年时间才放下一长串事情，包括一种错误的信念——认为那些不断打电话给我的人需要我。现在我的手机一直处于静音状态。真正需要联系我的人会给我发消息。我会在工作任务的间隙查看信息，并在我方便的时候回复，而不是在别人认为他们需要我回复的时候。)”可知，作者将手机静音是为了摆脱urgency culture中“即时回应”的习惯，按照自己的节奏处理信息。故选D。 【59题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“But in the long run, you clear the path for better relationships with people who respect and value you more.(但从长远来看，你为与那些更尊重和重视你的人建立更好的关系扫清了道路。)”可知，作者认为设定界限虽然会让一些人离开，但从长远来看会为与更尊重和重视自己的人建立更好的关系扫清道路，即强化有意义的人际关系。故选D。 【60题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章内容可知，作者以自身经历为线索，讲述了作为项目经理如何摆脱Urgency Culture，包括静音手机、设定界限等具体做法，并强调这些改变带来的积极影响（如更好地管理生活、建立优质关系）。由此可知，作者写这篇文章是为了分享个人经验。故选D。 五、阅读表达：（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，按照要求完成阅读任务。 I’m lucky enough to have come from a family of mountaineers, so I have been climbing for as long as I can remember. But it’s particularly thanks to my father that I started tackling serious peaks at such a young age. When I was twelve years old, we travelled together to Alaska to climb Mount Denali, which is the highest peak in North America. The following year, I joined a youth expedition (探险) to Africa to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. After this, I went on to climb tough peaks in Australia, Argentina and Russia, each time with a different team. Most times the difficulty was in finding sponsors willing to help fund my trip. In December of the year I turned 19, I headed out to Mount Vinson in the Antarctic. This turned out to be the most challenging expedition I had done so far. First there was the long, demanding journey down to the ‘frozen continent’. We took a flight to southern Chile and then caught a cargo plane (货机) on to the Antarctic, with no heating, real seats or windows. Then during the actual climb my hands froze and I was in a lot of pain. Still, this experience was like a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. The colors of the ice, air and sky there were so pure without the pollution we have got so used to everywhere else. By this time, I had gained a lot of experience and felt I was ready for ‘the big one’, Mount Qomolangma. It stands at 8,848.86 meters high and is not only the highest mountain on Earth but possibly the most unforgiving, too. Since returning from Qomolangma I’ve been giving a series of talks and presentations on my expeditions. I hope more than anything that they will inspire other young people to follow their dreams. I had taken 68 flights along my journey to reach the seven summits (顶峰). But I never doubted what I was doing. I truly believed that one day I was going to stand on the top of the world! 61.
